Exposed

The fourth floor of Shengtian Public Library.

The sky was already bright, and sunlight streamed in through the library's transparent glass.

The warm sunlight shone on the bookshelves, and the shadows fragmented the room.

At this moment, Shisui had just finished putting away the last volume of "Soul, Body, and Psychic Energy".

Just like when he was about to leave Embracing Moon Peak, he has now obtained what he wanted.

With a safety net in place, as long as I don't completely fail, I can live recklessly without worry.

Shisui first checked the amount of Flesh Crystals in the Alternate Space.

Immediately afterwards, he reinforced his connection with Radiant Feathers, especially with the ones furthest away.

His Ukaku swayed gently behind him, indicating that he was in a good mood.

After doing all this, Shisui looked up at the ceiling.

Before stepping onto the fourth floor, a thought kept echoing in his ears.

This is the top floor of the library.

But as soon as he stepped onto the fourth floor, he noticed something was wrong.

This library must have more than four floors.

However, something distorted the perception of all observers, making everyone who looked up believe that there were only four floors.

Shisui's perception was also slightly affected.

But as he climbed higher, a strange sense of unease began to rise within him.

It wasn't until he stepped onto the fourth floor and looked up at the ceiling that he realized what was happening.

I was misled by the hidden floor's security measures.

Haha, that's really interesting. If you hadn't been so deliberately stopping me, I wouldn't have been so eager to go and take a look.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Kakugan, but what he saw more intensely was a strong desire to explore.

The Ukaku exploded, sharp Steel Feathers aimed at the spaces on both sides of the ceiling.

"Bang!"

"Beep--!"

The Kagune collided with the shackles that sealed the space, and the resulting shockwave instantly triggered the library's alarm system.

The entire library's defenses were fully activated, and the surrounding space was completely sealed off in an attempt to trap intruders.

A sharp buzzing sound pierced the smoke of battle on campus, drawing the attention of the fighting teachers and students to the incongruous library area.

"Oh no!"

A young man who was navigating through the Spatial Turbulence to rescue someone was startled.

He couldn't care less about delivering the injured student he was carrying.

He quickly placed the person in a relatively safe spot nearby and then hurried towards the library.

Damn it, someone's taking advantage of the chaos to raid my base!

The chains around his waist began to heat up, and he gritted his teeth to suppress the surging pain within him.

"Stop rushing me! I'm on my way! You didn't stop me when I went out to rescue people!"

Chains have no consciousness; they are merely shackles and a standard, and naturally pay no heed to the young man's complaints.

His only response was an increasingly scalding temperature and more intense pain.

This frustrating pain fueled the young man's growing hatred for the thief who broke into the library.

Therefore, when Shisui broke through the Spatial Lockdown of the library and emerged from inside, he encountered a raging Earth Realm.

"Bang!"

The heavy books came crashing down on him, but were blocked by the suddenly leaping Koukaku.

"Click!"

An immense force pressed down, shattering the Koukaku into pieces.

However, before the Koukaku could completely shatter, the Ukaku's attack arrived.

The dense barrage of Feather Bullets instantly disrupted the opponent's next attack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shisui retreated, getting away from the sudden enemy.

After creating some distance, both sides began to observe each other's appearance.

The young man frowned as he sensed the intruder in front of him, who was fully armored and had four wings on his back.

That hammer blow, delivered with such fury, should have seriously injured the opponent.

Even though he was bound by chains, he wasn't using his full strength at that moment.

However, the other party was completely unharmed, and he could only vaguely sense that the other party's aura was completely undisturbed.

Could it be that the intruders are also from the Earth Realm, but are simply concealing their cultivation levels?

The young man couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and decided to find out the enemy's strength first.

The book flew back into his hand and opened on its own, then the pages inside instantly scattered.

The next moment, the young man attacked Shisui, the pages of the book fluttering with his movements, slicing directly at the enemy's weak point.

However, Shisui was not so easily cut.

He first spun around, dodging most of the pages that were flying towards him.

"Zzz--"

The sound of metal scraping against each other suddenly rang out, and the remaining pages of the book grazed the Koukaku, leaving scratches that were almost as if they had cut the Koukaku open.

Rc Cells surge, and the damage is slowly repaired.

Then, the Ukaku that spun around suddenly slashed down at the youth!

"Clang!"

The Psychic Energy shield blocked the attack, and the youth used the momentum from Shisui's attack to retreat.

The pages behind Shisui were manipulated and suddenly turned around.

This time, the pages cut directly into the head and the gaps outside the area covered by the Koukaku.

The Owl Wing Ukaku closed, Steel Feathers Feather Bullets behind it shot towards the pages of the book.

Numerous pages were hit and veered off course during the high-speed flight.

The remaining small portion was unable to penetrate the Ukaku to Shisui's head and body.

The probing between the two sides was completed in just two seconds, yet it was a scene of clashing swords and extreme danger.

The two sides stood at a distance from each other again, vaguely presenting a strange state of evenly matched strength.

Shisui tilted her head, and the silver earring beside her ear gleamed with a metallic sheen in the sunlight.

Something's not right. Even the half-destroyed Earth Realm he attacked in Qiongfang City wasn't this weak.

The opponent clearly hadn't even sensed his level of cultivation.

He didn't believe that the Simple Psychic Energy Barrier next to his ear could do that.

Within seconds of the standoff, the Koukaku had been repaired.

The young man naturally sensed the enemy's subtle changes and immediately felt something was wrong.

Immortality? Could it be a new creation released by that Laboratory?

Ugh, this is troublesome. If we don't unlock these chains, we might be doomed here.

His hand silently reached for the chain at his waist, the scalding heat instantly tearing his Earth Realm and flesh.

The young man remained calm, merely tugging at the chain, attempting to break the seal on his body before being discovered.

Shisui realized something when his hand moved to his waist.

The Ukaku instantly stood upright, Steel Feathers and prisms poured out!

"Lock!"

However, before Shisui could even get close to the young man, the pages of the young man's book had already appeared beside Shisui.

Spatial properties? No! It's Psychic Energy sealing!

The pages suddenly closed in, condensing and fixing the Psychic Energy within Shisui's body, which was surrounded at the center.

Just like when a young man is bound by chains on ordinary days.

In the distance, the smell of gunpowder and the sounds of fighting continued, but the area in front of the library fell silent once again.
