Chapter 369 - Embarrassing Moment
Chapter 369 - Embarrassing Moment
A frown appeared on Wang Jue's face as he glanced at the garden before him. He remembered his brother telling him this place was full of magical plants. Where were they now?
He moved forward doubtfully. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a human figure in the distance. When he saw the other party's face clearly, his pupils constricted with surprise. "Yun Lintian!?"
Wang Jue's mind went blank for a moment as he didn't expect Yun Lintian to arrive here. What was more, he was even faster than himself, who had the guiding compass in his possession… How could he come here this quick?
Yun Lintian's lips curled up as he walked toward Wang Jue slowly. "Surprise?… Well, I'm actually surprised too. It seems your brother gave you something."
Recovering from the initial shock, Wang Jue responded calmly. "Looks like that bitch Jiang Yingyue also gave you something." While speaking, he cautiously observed the surrounding in case there was a formation in this place. Even though he kept belittling Yun Lintian for all this time, he was well aware of his formation's ability.
Seeing Wang Jue's vigilant behavior, Yun Lintian felt it was funny. Did he really think his formation was easy to find just by looking around?
"You don't have to look elsewhere. You've been in my formation since the first step you took into this place." Yun Lintian stopped his track and said with a grin.
Following that, Yun Lintian stomped on the ground, and a translucent blue barrier quickly surrounded the garden, releasing a cold killing intent toward Wang Jue.
Wang Jue's pupils shrank in fear. An idea of leaving this place popped up in his mind, and he was about to transform it into action.
"Go ahead. Run with your tail between your legs. You won't get a record by then." Yun Lintian chuckled. He knew it was impossible to bind anybody here as long as they chose to leave with the token. He could only hope Wang Jue would be stupid enough to fight him here after getting insulted.
Wang Jue suddenly paused his movement upon hearing this. A ridiculed smile appeared on his face as he burst into laughter. "Hahaha!"
Yun Lintian's brows raised in confusion. Why did he suddenly laugh? Has he turned idiot because of fear?
Wang Jue laughed for a while and said. "You said my record won't count if I leave here? Hahaha! Don't you know that the record will be counted the moment you pass through the ninth ring to this place? I thought you were smart. Turns out you are this stupid."
Yun Lintian was shocked by the revelation… F*ck! Wouldn't it mean I have broken Big Sister Yingyue's record now? My record was probably causing a huge sensation out there by now, right?
Thinking of his words earlier, Yun Lintian's face grew hot from the embarrassment. It turned out the clown was actually me. He didn't expect he would have such an embarrassing day, too.
Without further ado, Yun Lintian quickly activated the formation, and several sword lights immediately shot towards Wang Jue at lightning speed.
Wang Jue didn't fear in the slightest. He executed his movement technique to retreat and gave Yun Lintian a mocking smile. "I'll wait for you on the outside."
Afterward, his mind moved, and his entire body was immediately covered with white light before disappearing from the spot.
Staring at the disappearing Wang Jue, Yun Lintian touched his cheek and smiled wryly. "What an embarrassing moment. I blame Lord Sky Throne for not telling me."
He shook his head with a sigh and contacted everyone in his group. "Everyone, I will leave first. Wang Jue has already left this place. You can continue at ease."
Following that, Yun Lintian walked toward the stone gate. He glanced at the fragment of Divine Jade beneath it for one last time before vanishing into the blue light swirl.
After Yun Lintian left, a heavenly voice suddenly rang out in everyone's ears.
"Congratulations to the contender Yun Lintian for clearing the Forest Maze! All the remaining contenders will be sent out in one minute. The Forest Maze will be closed for one week. The contender can rechallenge the Forest Maze afterward."
A minute later, one after another, had been sent out of the training ground.
***
Woosh!
On the outside, Wang Jue's figure appeared before the entrance unharmed and immediately became the center of attention.
Before this, everyone was surprised to see Wang Jue's name appear in second place. Although he was slower by Yun Lintian, it couldn't deny how impressive his record was. They started to question whether there was something wrong with the Forest Maze. Had it become easier?
Wang Jue glanced at the crowd with an arrogant expression. Even though he knew the first place was Yun Lintian, it couldn't prevent him from being proud.
"Congratulations, Young Master Wang. As expected, form an extraordinary person like you." A few students nearby started to flatter Wang Jue. They knew as long as Wang Jue took them under his wings, they wouldn't have to struggle anymore.
Wang Jue didn't take them seriously. He turned his head to look at the stele, and his facial complexion immediately turned rigid seeing Yun Lintian's record. He was faster than him by a few hours. He didn't understand how did Yun Lintian manage to achieve it.
"You're too slow." At this moment, Wang Jun's voice suddenly rang out in Wang Jue's mind, causing the latter to shudder slightly.
Wang Jue tried to calm himself down and returned a sound transmission to his brother. "It can't be helped, Second Brother. I don't know what tricks did he used to reach the final ring in a short time. Jiang Yingyue must give him something."
"Have you met him?" Wang Jun asked.
"Yes. He's waiting for me at the final ring and even prepared a killing formation. Before he could do anything to me, I chose to leave first." Wang Jue replied calmly.
"You made the right decision... Your people, Chi Xiong, had injured Yang Chen badly. When Yun Lintian comes out later, he will certainly find you. Just don't promise him anything.." Wang Jun said after a brief moment of silence.
