Looking at the various sizes of magic arrays before me.
Everyone was taken aback. Was this young man the same magician who had become so famous in the inland areas?
Unexpectedly, it was indeed as terrifying as the rumors suggested.
There are at least a hundred of these holes right now, and he's actually able to precisely inscribe magic arrays on them; that's truly impressive.
However, Ji Shao thought it was making a mountain out of a molehill, muttered something under his breath, and walked away towards the distance.
Su Xian naturally noticed and quickly followed. Now that their city wall repairs were complete, the other Sequence User were still fighting and needed support.
However, they can rest for a while now.
This is only the first day, and the progress is already very fast.
Once all the holes are plugged, Huizhou City will have been largely recaptured. Right now, all they need to do is repeatedly check and, incidentally, kill the Eerie Monsters.
What surprised Su Xian was that there wasn't a single Calamity Realm Eerie Monsters in Huizhou City; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to advance so quickly.
At this moment, Ji Shao's voice interrupted his thoughts, "A total of four zodiac teams came today and are guarding the four directions on the wall, but someone needs to take over. Su Zhe volunteered to go up there, and we couldn't stop him."
Su Xian nodded slightly. Su Zhe had indeed been acting strangely since returning from the Sinful Pass, but his emotions were still relatively stable. However, he had been holding a grudge about Li Chen. To be honest, they had only spent some time with Li Chen, so there wasn't much of a bond between them. Unlike Su Zhe, who had grown up with Li Chen since childhood, Su Zhe was more like a sworn brother. Otherwise, Li Chen would have kept them both at the Sinful Pass.
Let him go.
"He needs to vent his emotions. Recently, Magic City has been frequently attacked by Eerie Monsters, and their pressure is becoming increasingly apparent, but right now no one has the time to help."
"We have far too few strong individuals."
That's true. Now, almost all the Calamity Realm experts are rising stars. The older generation has either died or been crippled, and their combat power has been reduced by more than half. This era has gradually been handed over to them.
At this moment, Su Xian suddenly asked, "Where is Ji Mumu?"
"I remember she wasn't very capable?"
"How could it be hidden as a family secret?"
Ji Shao nodded, thought carefully for a few seconds, and then spoke the truth, "No, it's not that we're hiding it, but rather that we want Mumu to compete for this year's Saintess. Her S-rank ability is already enough. This isn't a major reform in all academies; all Sequence Users must learn combat skills, and the learning period has been changed to two years."
"We didn't have that back then."
"Although Mu Mu is in the same year as us, after discussions with her family, she will continue her studies to develop her abilities to the fullest extent. She is now being trained Ji Family Saintess."
Su Xian frowned and asked, "So, she has to participate in another Academy Tournament?"
Ji Shao nodded.
The last Academy Tournament held in Canghai City didn't produce any results; the individual competitions ended before they even began. Now that the venue and secrets have been taken over by Evil Cult, where will the Academy Tournament be held next?
Although the Academy Tournament was already a thing of the past for them, they were still interested in seeing the brilliance of their juniors.
It's true that they have regrets.
After all, they fought to the very end in the Academy Tournament and got nothing, and even got a good beating from the Evil Cult. Anyone would be upset in that situation, especially since the championship was right in front of them!
Su Xian sighed, a trace of reminiscence flashing in his eyes. Whether it was A Jin who had followed him before, or anyone else, they were all now facing their own lives head-on.
Some people witness life and death every day, some strive for Merit, and some fight for the families they support.
This era is moving too fast.
The pace is so fast that these young people have no chance to catch their breath. Most of them have just come of age and have to shoulder the responsibility for their future, because they are the "Sequence User" whom everyone reveres.
As the two walked in unison, their figures gradually disappeared into the distance.
On the city wall.
Everywhere there were traces of fighting.
Looking down from above, one can see the general situation of Huizhou City. Right in the center is a giant crater, covering several hundred meters. Almost all the houses nearby have collapsed, and it also emits a dark energy aura.
Su Zhe's expression was slow and blank. "Chen-ge, is this what you made...?"
Suddenly, an Eerie Monsters roared and tried to ambush him, but Su Zhe didn't even blink. A black sphere appeared behind him and instantly sucked the Eerie Monsters into its body.
Su Zhe also groaned, looking somewhat pained, and only recovered after taking a deep breath.
"So, it really can't absorb this Eerie Monsters after all..."
He didn't know why absorbing dead Eerie Monsters could increase the energy in his body, but once he absorbed a living Eerie Monsters, his body couldn't digest it at all. He could only wait for the Eerie Monsters to die slowly inside his stomach before absorbing it.
Just then, a voice rang in his ear.
"Hey, Su Zhe, how are you going to hold on?"
"No, let's go down and rest now. We, the Chenlong Squad, can handle things here."
Su Zhe turned to look at Yan Li. Although he was wearing a mask, he could still recognize him by his voice.
"No need, the Eerie Monsters here have already been cleared out."
"I can rest here for a while without any accidents happening. But your Chenlong Squad, have you suffered any casualties?"
Yan Li walked over to Su Zhe and replied, "Of course not, we're the Chenlong Squad."
"The strongest squad of the Twelve Zodiacs right now, how could they possibly sacrifice themselves for something so trivial? I did hear from the captain that the Sequence User followed us suffered heavy casualties, and he told us to hurry up and finish this, and then go to the city to thoroughly search for those hiding Eerie Monsters and eliminate them all."
"But now it seems we're completely out of the picture. The walls have been repaired, and those Eerie Monsters can't get out or escape. They can only wait to be slaughtered. It looks like we'll be eating those disgusting Eerie Monsters flesh again tonight."
At this point, Su Zhe became increasingly silent, his gaze unnaturally drifting towards the smoke rising from the city.
For a moment, I didn't know how to begin.
After Yan Li was called away by his comrades, Su Zhe slowly sat on the city wall, pondering many things.
Human Race... Eerie Monsters, what is Chen-ge thinking?
Why target Huizhou City...? Is it just to Human Race know about him?
And not far from him.
In fact, Yan Li was not called away, but was pulled by his captain to a blind spot.
"Li Zi, what results did you predict?"
Yan Li said with a serious expression, "Captain, we haven't gotten any results, but we can't just use that incident to arrest Su Zhe, can we?"
