Lan Xuanyu replied anxiously. “Quickly leave. Both you and Liu Feng should take different paths; the further you go, the better. There will always be changes in plans; our opponent is a four ring soul master. We can’t beat him. How’s the situation over there?”
Qian Lei whispered, “We snuck an attack and killed one before chasing and killing another one. But my Replicate Purple Lightning Dragon was used up. My summon was another Ironback Dragon, and I can only replicate it. Frenzie is back as well and waiting for an opportunity at the other side. I can’t contact him, what should I do?”
This was what Lan Xuanyu wanted most not to occur: his teammates unwilling to abandon him and return to save him. It was no longer as easy for them to escape anymore.
The most ideal plan was, in fact, for Liu Feng to escape. Liu Feng had the fastest speed and had the best chance to escape. But Liu Feng did not come over and waited for an opportunity at the sidelines. Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei had no way to contact Liu Feng. Once the three were killed, their efforts would be gone. Whether or not they could enter the top 10 would rely completely on luck.
In that instant, Lan Xuanyu’s thoughts changed. At this moment, the Gold Silk Ape was close to a manic counterattack, barely resisting its opponent — but without a doubt, it would not be able to last much longer. Before, Bing Tianliang was only able to force it to retreat bit by bit. But after overdrafting on its abilities, the Gold Silk Ape could no longer endure for too long, and death was a sooner or later matter.
What do I do?
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath as Yin Tianfan’s words surfaced in his mind, ‘Regardless of how dangerous the situation is, you need to maintain calm. Panicking will only lead to a missed opportunity. There is no shortage of opportunities at any moment and exist any time.’
‘Work your brains fast, and go through everything that you are able to use.’ Lan Xuanyu made a prompt decision and whispered, “Qian Lei, unleash your Replicate Ironback Dragon, and get it to join the battle and support the Gold Silk Ape. Then, open your Gate of Summoning, I’ll help you.”
Lan Xuanyu bit on his tongue and instigated a thread of Soul Power that he had accumulated and gradually raised his left hand.
Qian Lei and Liu Feng were used to taking orders from him. He immediately unleashed the Replicate, producing a four-meter long Ironback Dragon that ran straight into battle. At the same time, he threw out the Summoning Coin as the Gate of Summoning appeared beside Lan Xuanyu.
The silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass was unleashed and curled around the pillar. It was a simple gesture of releasing his Martial Soul, yet Lan Xuanyu felt his entire body ripping apart from the pain.
“Leave your Gate of Summoning here and run. Get back to our tree cave and hide there.” Lan Xuanyu whispered.
“Ah? Then what about you?” Qian Lei was stunned while conducting the summon.
Lan Xuanyu whispered. “Don’t you bother about me. One of us three has to survive and bring all our points out. Remember this, escape back to the tree cave and do not come out no matter of what you hear. Use your Spiritual Power, and seal your aura. Don’t divulge a single bit out. Quick, go!”
Since Liu Feng was uncontactable, he could only pin his hopes that Qian Lei was able to escape.
Qian Lei understood his intent and patted Lan Xuanyu on the shoulders before turning to run. After all, they were in a fabricated world and would not truly die. Completing the competition was the most important now.
After Qian Lei’s departure, the Gate of Summoning beside Lan Xuanyu released a buzzing sound. The silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass curled along the pillar of the door glowed with a silver light.
Lan Xuanyu had a complicated look in his eyes; he was unsure if the summon would be successful. But it would be pointless if he relied on the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass to summon a dragon-related soul beast as it would not be able to defeat Ling Tian Academy’s group. The only chance he had was to rely on her.
“Why’re you summoning me for?” A voice came out from the other side, somewhat cold and unkind with a hint of anger.
Upon hearing her response, Lan Xuanyu immediately rejoiced. A response meant an opportunity!
“Save me, I can’t go on for much longer.” Lan Xuanyu replied weakly, his voice intentionally lower a few notches compared to when he was speaking to Qian Lei before.
“En?” An exclamation came out from the other side. In the next instant, a slender leg stepped out from the Gate of Summoning. A beautiful figure appeared by Lan Xuanyu’s side.
Dressed in a light blue dress that flowed at her knees that was tight at the waist, it completely displayed her slender waist vividly. Her beauty was astonishing, as her blue hair fluttered with the wind. She lowered her head and looked at Lan Xuanyu with her deep blue eyes.
Seeing Lan Xuanyu’s charred state, Dong Qianqiu almost mistook him for someone else and blurted out, “How did you get roasted by others?”
Roasted? I got roasted...
Lan Xuanyu almost choked to death and fumed. “What roast. Can’t you see that I’m dying? Do you think I’m a willing party!”
Dong Qianqiu then raised her head and looked toward the battlefield. She then turned back and looked at Lan Xuanyu and nudged him with her feet. “Is this Soul World? You won’t really die.”
Lan Xuanyu rolled his eyes. “This is Shrek Academy’s qualifiers competition. You didn’t join?”
Dong Qianqiu was startled, “You joined the qualifiers as well? The qualifiers at my side are over!”
Lan Xuanyu: “Are you going to help me?”
Dong Qianqiu’s eyes moved as she suddenly squatted down with a smile. She inched closer and looked at the charred Lan Xuanyu and giggled. “Why should I help you! You’re not really dying. And why should I help you get into Shrek Academy, you’re going to be an irksome presence beside me.”
Lan Xuanyu rolled his eyes. “Why does it sound as if you’re so sure that you’re getting in.”
Dong Qianqiu portrayed an innocent look. “Not as if, I’m already in. I got specially selected! An early admitted student, have you heard of it.”
Lan Xuanyu was speechless, what’s wrong with this world! There’s always unfairness in the world. Here I am, almost beaten to death, but she was already selected.
“In any case, you’ve hugged me and kissed me before. Based on our past intimate relationship, and on account of our old affection...” When Lan Xuanyu spoke until here, Dong Qianqiu was already angered and ashamed. She gave him a slap on the arm.
“Shut up! Speak any further and I’ll let you die, and you’ll be out of the competition!” Upon thinking about being taken advantage by Lan Xuanyu, Dong Qianqiu’s face immediately flushed red. She truly had the impulse to choke him to death.
“Ok, I was wrong. I’ll speak no further. Then what do you want to be willing to help me?” Lan Xuanyu asked with an aggrieved expression. He looked at her with his big eyes.
Despite being charred black by Bing Tianliang’s purple lightning, he was still good looking! It was especially so for his large eyes, the moist eyes that looked at Dong Qianqiu caused her to be slightly stunned.
“Promise me three conditions, and I will help you.” Dong Qianqiu extended three fingers.
Lan Xuanyu: “Fine, I promise. Aren’t they just letting you kiss me back, hug me back, and one more kick? No problem.”
“Nonsense! Who wants to kiss or hug you?” Dong Qianqiu’s face was completely red as she gave him another slap once more, this time on the chest. It was so hard that it caused Lan Xuanyu’s eyes to roll to the back.
“The promise for the three conditions have to be unconditional. When we meet again, as long as I want you to do something, you’ll do it? Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to go and die. I guarantee that you will be able to do it. What about it?” The light in Dong Qianqiu’s eyes moved as a plan seemed to have hatched in her mind.
The corners of Lan Xuanyu’s mouth twitched. He did not wish to agree to the conditions. Who knew what sort of strange requests the lady would ask from him in the future.
If he was alone, he would rather die and end the competition than to agree. After all, even if he failed to enter the top 10, he had another chance the following year.
But what about Liu Feng and Qian Lei? They were both at the appropriate age and no longer had the opportunity to attend the competition next year. This meant that if they failed, Qian Lei and Liu Feng would miss their chance and would no longer be able to enter Shrek Academy.
