Fishing in Troubled Waters (Sixth Bonus Chapter)

Through the gaps in the branches and leaves, these people ran very fast; among them were two Advanced War General and two Intermediate War General.

Zhang Yue's eyes lit up immediately. "Idol, it seems someone has discovered the Star Crystal! Should we go check it out?"

Lin Zhen nodded without hesitation. "Is that even a question? Of course we should go and see."

The two quietly slid down from the tree branch and followed behind the four martial artists.

After climbing over several tree branches and walking about a kilometer, the terrain suddenly opened up.

The junction of several branches forms an open area. On one branch, three flowers are in bloom, with three Star Crystal floating on them. Two of them are in the Star Core Stage, and the other Star Crystal is suspended above the Stamen, trailing a long tail.

Star Crystal floated above the Stamen; it was the Star Core of a Meteor Stage!

Lin Zhen and Zhang Yue hid on a tree branch high up, observing carefully.

Three groups of people had already gathered in this open area, and with the four martial artists who had just arrived, there were now a total of four groups of people gathered here.

One group stood out, as it was mostly Women's Army. The woman in the lead, dressed in pure white, had an exceptionally beautiful face and looked like a fairy standing in the forest. It was Su Mingyue.

Behind Su Mingyue, Tang Yu was also mixed in with the Women's Army. However, this lineup was obviously led by Su Mingyue. Apart from Tang Yu, the other three female warriors were also from the Capital City Base City.

Besides Su Mingyue and the four new martial artists, there were two other groups, one with three people and the other with only two.

Both of them were Level Nine War General, and one of them spoke first.

"Everyone, I know you're all here for the Star Crystal, but my brother and I have been protecting these three flowers for almost a month. We hope you'll give the Class 494 some face and not compete with us for them."

Lin Zhen and his classmates are from the 497th cohort of the God General Training Camp. These two are from the previous three cohorts.

The three people on the other side were all Level Nine War General. One of the men sneered, "What a joke! The Star Crystal is yours to whoever gets it before it's taken down. Why should you guard it for a month and it's yours? When we from the Class 495 came here, we were bullied a lot by you from the 494th class. Some of us even died at your hands. We can't let this Star Crystal go today, no matter what."

The four newly arrived martial artists chimed in, "You people from 495 aren't any better. We people from 496 have suffered just as much at your hands. We were forced to unite, and after a year, we're down to just the four of us. If you want to take the Star Crystal, you'll have to ask us first."

The three groups of students engaged in a heated verbal exchange, but none of them showed any intention of taking action, because there was another group of people present.

Just by looking at Su Mingyue and the others' clothes, you could tell they were new recruits. Only new recruits would have such bright and shiny clothes; otherwise, after rolling around in the jungle all day, even ten sets of clothes wouldn't be enough.

After arguing for a while, the three groups of people were the first to suggest. "You newbies, this is all about grudges between the Old Trainee. I advise you not to get involved, lest you get burned."

Tang Yu stepped forward first and said calmly, "We are all children of the gods and should not kill each other. There are three Star Crystal here, and three groups of you want to fight for them. I think it would be better if whoever can swear allegiance to the gods before us could be given one Star Crystal. Those who disrespect the gods are not qualified to receive Star Crystal."

After speaking, Tang Yu turned to Su Mingyue and asked for her opinion.

Su Mingyue nodded slightly, indicating that she could accept Tang Yu's opinion.

Unexpectedly, the three groups looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Haha! Idiots! Only disciples of the Divine Sect would be such idiots. So you're from the Divine Sect."

"Sigh! Back when we first entered the Tree Crown Zone, there were also disciples of the Divine Sect, but how long could their faith last? When they were killed by insects, where was their god? Why didn't he come to their rescue?"

"You guys should save your breath. The martial artists within the Star Fruit Tree only believe in themselves. You should just go do what you were doing, or we might join forces to take out these newbies first."

"That girl in the white dress can't leave, God! I'm absolutely smitten with her, I've never seen anyone so hot. If you guys can help me win her over, I'd rather withdraw from this Star Crystal competition."

"Pshaw! I'm willing to withdraw from the competition; I want this girl!"

The female martial artists behind Su Mingyue all frowned. "How dare you! How dare you disrespect the Holy Maiden? Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"

"Oh my, she's a God Sect Saintess, that's great, buddy, I like this kind of thing."

"Where is the divine punishment? Why hasn't a bolt of lightning struck me yet? Haha! None of you silly girls are leaving today. The Holy Maiden is the boss, I'll just use you few as an appetizer."

Su Mingyue kept her eyes slightly closed and didn't speak, but she was clearly angry.

The first to lose his temper was Tang Yu. Everyone could see that he liked Su Mingyue, and when he heard someone insult Su Mingyue, he could no longer maintain his composure.

"Ming Yue, let's get started. You guys go and seize the Star Crystal, I'll deal with that foul-mouthed one."

"Be careful." Su Mingyue nodded.

Tang Yu leaped up, a shuttle-shaped shield appearing beneath his feet, and sped straight towards the person in Class 495 who had the harshest words!

"Watch out! This guy is a Mind Power Master!" The people in 495 were taken aback. They didn't expect there to be such a skilled person among the freshmen in 497. They hurriedly prepared to fight.

Tang Yu encountered the three opponents and intended to defeat them swiftly, but unexpectedly encountered a powerful challenge.

The three opponents, two wielding Long Spear and one wielding two swords, attacked together and sent the menacing Tang Yu flying!

"Hahaha! So that's all he's got. He really is just a pretty face with no substance. Let's go, take him down!"

Three people from 495 rushed over, and the three female martial artists behind Su Mingyue also attacked at the same time. Together with Tang Yu, it was four against three, and seven people were fighting together.

Seeing the fight break out, the people from 496 tried to seize the Star Crystal, but two Advanced War General from 494 shouted, "You fools, join forces to deal with the newbies from 497 first. There are three Star Crystal here, we can split them equally, and these girls can get some too."

The 496 people immediately stopped in their tracks. They realized that this was indeed the best solution, and immediately turned around and charged towards Su Mingyue.

The group of 496 consists of four people: two Advanced War General and two Intermediate War General. They arrived at Star Fruit Tree only a year earlier than Su Mingyue's group of students, so their strength is not much different.

As the First Person in this year's Advanced War General group, Su Mingyue's strength is incredibly formidable. She remained unfazed by the attacks of the four opponents, stepping with Profound Step and wielding Three Feet Green Edge sword. With a backhand, she unleashed three thunderous sword strikes!

Two Advanced War General were actually knocked back by a single blow, and a Intermediate War General was so careless that he couldn't withstand it, and one of his arms flew into the sky on the spot!

The warrior who lost his arm screamed and fell to the ground, blood gushing out. There was no medical care here, and losing an arm was basically the same as being crippled. His only way out was to immediately bandage himself and go to Tree Heart Lake to find a platform, leave the fruit tree, and become an ordinary person.

"This girl is strong!" The members of 496 were shocked and no longer dared to underestimate her. They immediately attacked in a surrounding posture, cooperating with each other to restrain her, hoping to take down Su Mingyue.

The opponents had arrived a year earlier, and their combined strength was extraordinary. Su Mingyue was immediately embroiled in a fierce battle, making it impossible for her to defeat them quickly. However, it wouldn't be easy for the three members of Team 495 to defeat Su Mingyue in a short time either.

Seeing this, the two Advanced War General of 494 did not go to help either battlefield, but immediately rushed towards the three star crystals.

People in 495 and 496 realized they had been tricked when they saw this situation, and couldn't help but curse in unison. However, they were caught up in the battle and no one could get away. They could only watch helplessly as their opponents went to collect the Star Crystal.

Just as they approached the Star Crystal, two Flying Knife suddenly came flying at them!

The Flying Knife appeared very abruptly, as if the opponent had been preparing for it all along, aiming straight for the two men's throats!

These two Flying Knife were not enough to kill them, but they knew that if they dodged the Flying Knife, the people lying in ambush would likely take away the Star Crystal at that moment.

These two Advanced War General were quite skilled; they managed to dodge the Flying Knife by making a contorted motion in mid-air, and then simultaneously reached out to grab the Star Crystal.

But then something strange happened. The three Star Crystal suddenly seemed to be attracted by something, and with a whoosh, they flew out and disappeared behind the Leaf in the blink of an eye.

The two of them were fast enough, but they only managed to grab a handful of air.

"Damn it! Who's behind this?"

"Chase them! Follow the direction of the Star Crystal. I refuse to believe we won't find them. They're acting so suspiciously; they can't be very strong."

The two General Stage ' eyes immediately turned red, and they rushed after the direction in which the Star Crystal had disappeared.

Meanwhile, Su Mingyue and her group, who were still fighting, could no longer stop. A female martial artist had fallen with a sword wound to the abdomen, and Su Mingyue had killed another Intermediate War General. The group had become a chaotic melee, and anyone who dared to retreat would surely be brutally killed by the enemy.

Although they all hated the person who secretly stole the Star Crystal with a vengeance, they were powerless to do anything about it at this moment.

Just then, a muffled human voice came from behind the Leaf in the distance.

"Idol, wait for me!"

Although the sound was not loud and most of the people present did not hear it, it reached Su Mingyue's ears.

She vaguely felt that she had heard the words somewhere before, and the voice was also somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place it. However, it was definitely a student from her class.

However, she was a very proud person. She was fighting so hard, and it would be one thing if other martial artists didn't help, but some despicable fellow students not only didn't help but also secretly attacked her. If she found out who it was, she would definitely not let them get away with it.

Seeing her severely injured companion lying on the ground, Su Mingyue's eyes reddened. She, who never swore, couldn't help but say, "Damn little thief, I will definitely catch you."

Her swordplay became even more ferocious and unparalleled, with sword energy whistling and flashes of white light appearing from time to time. With this burst of power from Su Mingyue, the opponents were doomed.

This is the fourth bonus chapter for today. I'm adding this chapter for the book's Helm Master, Zi Ying Qian Xia. Oh wait, I mean, this guy is now the Hall Master. He said in the group that he was going to drain me dry, and he was really ruthless. I'll give him a chapter in return.
