The Eerie Tide continues.

It's just not as scary as before.

Gu Cheng stood atop the Ruined Pass, his eyes gleaming with a pale blue light.

"Oh? Those humanoid Eerie Monsters retreated?"

At this point, he also noticed that the Eerie Monsters' attacks had begun to decrease.

Gu Cheng's expression changed slightly.

He had guessed quite a bit; it seemed that this Eerie Tide was caused by those humanoid Eerie Monsters.

But now they've actually failed.

In the past, it would have taken at least one or two days to attack, but this time it didn't even take half a day.

He didn't even see a single Eerie Monsters from the "Calamity Realm".

"Could this be a test?" Gu Cheng wondered.

Just like in ancient human civil wars, neither side would start with a trump card, but would slowly play out their cards.

Until the fatal blow is delivered.

These Eerie Monsters seem to be just like that.

However, Gu Cheng merely smiled dismissively; he wasn't afraid of tactical maneuvers.

Otherwise, how could he have become the master of a pass?

At that moment Yu Qingnian's voice echoed in his mind.

"Gu Cheng, can you pinpoint the locations of these Evil Cult organizations?"

"No, location tracking isn't possible," Gu Cheng said helplessly. "It might work in the Ruined City, though."

"But outside is another matter, and Evil Cult organizations aren't so easy to locate, not to mention..."

Before he could finish speaking, a violent explosion came from the other end of the line.

The call ended there.

It seems that Yu Qingnian is now locked in an Evil Cult.

Looking from the direction of the Gu Cheng, there was already a dark, dense area Ruined City.

They are clearly members of Evil Cult.

[Lord Main Brain, should the trainees be released from Slaughter Arena 1 and 2?]

"Let it go."

"Those Evil Cult members have arrived too. Let them rest for a bit; the party's about to start again."

[Yes, Lord Main Brain.]

Gu Cheng slightly raised his head, seemingly questioning the meaning of life.

His peaceful life seemed to be disrupted Yu Qingnian's arrival.

Evil Cult has infiltrated, Eerie Tide.

He was momentarily stunned.

The door behind the Slaughter Arena opened.

It seems we can leave now.

Li Chen kicked Su Zhe, but Su Zhe just rolled over and continued snoring.

At this moment, Lin Hua walked over, dragging his spear, and teased...

"As expected, he's a natural sleeper; he can still sleep soundly even in this situation."

Li Chen frowned. He didn't have much interaction with Lin Hua, and their relationship wasn't good.

After all, the events that occurred in the Secret Realm were still fresh in their minds.

What does his coming here mean now?

Lin Hua wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Li Chen, could you please pass on a message to Jianping?"

What did you say?

"I'm going to challenge him when I get back to the academy."

"Good."

Lin Hua then left.

It seems that his battle with Jianping in the Secret Realm had a significant psychological impact on him.

However, it's Li Chen who has now been reduced to a messenger.

There weren't many people in the academy who dared to challenge him.

As for the Special Class, no one dared to challenge him. Although Su Xian was ranked first, many people had already compared him to Su Xian.

However, the two had never fought, and for a time, no one knew who was stronger.

However, once this trial is over, the rankings will undergo a major change.

Many members of the Special Class are even considering a place in the top ten.

Because the Academy Tournament is about to begin.

In terms of time, only a few months have passed since they enrolled.

However, the Academy Tournament will begin its knockout stage shortly after they return to the college.

After all, there are many academies across the country, and Canglan Academy is no exception; they all have to participate in the elimination rounds.

This is one of the reasons why Yu Qingnian brought them here for training.

The rules for this Academy Tournament were set when students entered the college: only the top ten on the Ranking Board could participate, and the team competition spots were still in Li Chen's hands.

Even he hadn't decided who would qualify for the Academy Tournament.

Ugh~

At this moment, Su Zhe rubbed his eyes, sat up, and looked a little groggy.

"Hey, Chen-ge, what are you doing here?"

"Is the battle over?"

Li Chen snapped out of his daze and nodded.

Ruined City.

A flash of lightning appeared on Yu Qingnian's body, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"It's been so long since I've used my abilities."

"I'm getting a little rusty."

With a flick of his finger, a beam of light shot down from the sky.

"Divine Punishment."

Boom!

A violent explosion rang out, and the area illuminated by the beam of light turned into dust.

The Ninth Seat, not far away, narrowed his eyes, not daring to show his face, and took a deep breath.

"Wow~ This ability!!"

"The Ninth Sequence???"

"What the hell is this guy doing at Ruined Pass? Wasn't he missing for years?"

At that moment, two figures appeared beside him.

The Fifth Seat and Seventh Seats have both arrived here, but their expressions cannot be seen behind their masks.

The Seventh Seat still had some crackling electricity running through his body, and a trace of blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth.

It was clear that he had clashed with Yu Qingnian.

The Fifth Seat looked at the sudden flash of lightning not far away and said calmly.

"What do we do now? The Ninth Sequence Human Race has appeared here. Can our mission continue?"

Seventh Seat remained silent; he had only exchanged blows with that person for a brief moment before being beaten to this state.

Even if all three of them went together, it might not be enough.

Ninth Seats, smoking a Soul-Slaying cigarette, was at a loss for what to do, since he had already brought the person over.

They have abandoned countless followers for the sake of a Child of Destiny, and even they themselves do not know how many.

They now have only two choices.

One option is to fight, and the other is to abandon these believers.

However, they could not possibly defeat the most elite Human Race Sequence User; even if they fought to the death, they could only buy them a little time.

Unless the top members of their Evil Cult can get here.

Moreover, the Pass Master of the Ruined City has not shown up, so their invasion is bound to fail.

They were blocked because of one person.

"Very well, let's prepare to report to the sect leader."

"We're retreating..."

Just as Fifth Seat was about to suggest retreating, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

He wore a pure white mask and was dressed entirely in white.

His aura was extremely terrifying, and a sense of oppression instantly filled the group.

The Ninth Seat were stunned, and immediately said respectfully, "Second Seat, you actually came too."

The Second Seat nodded slightly and said indifferently, "I will help you hold off the Ninth Sequence."

"As for the Child of Destiny, I hope you can bring him back soon."

"Otherwise, the sect leader will be angry."

In an instant, his figure vanished.

The oppressive feeling dissipated, and Ninth Seat slightly raised his head, his eyes looking at the Ruined City not far away.

The smoke is burning.

The invasion has begun.
