Chasing into the Lake, the Quartet from Qi Shen Ability University

At this very moment, the wound on the Toad King's head split open again due to its movement, spurting out streams of blood.

Blood splattered onto the trees, causing them to wither instantly. It seemed the blood's toxicity was quite potent.

As the wound on its head reopened, the Toad King immediately felt dizzy and disoriented.

It stumbled on a tree root, staggering a few steps before falling directly into a large patch of trees.

Seeing this, a hint of delight flickered across Su Luo's lips.

The Nine Heavens secret manual Master gave him was truly powerful.

Just the first layer, combined with the power of vibration, possessed such might.

It had heavily injured the Toad King with a single blow, even affecting its brain.

If it reached the highest level, Nine Heavens, what kind of power would that unleash? Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but burn with anticipation.

Lying on the ground, the Toad King's eyeballs began to slowly ooze blood. It felt as if its vision had turned entirely red, as if it had entered a world of blood.

At this moment, an unprecedented sense of panic sent chills through the Toad King's entire body.

It recalled how, starting as a mere Tier 1 Exotic Beast, it had soared through the ranks with its incredible talent, becoming a Tier 5 Exotic Beast.

Then, relying on its profound understanding of water's power, it had condensed the Blue Orb.

It subsequently advanced to become a Tier 6 Exotic Beast and the king of this large lake.

Suddenly, it felt like its life had reached its end.

Due to racial limitations, it was incredibly difficult for it to advance further; it could only tread water.

Over a long period, its heart was gradually consumed by fear.

It feared that its position as king and its Blue Orb would be seized by a new king.

Therefore, it spared no effort in eliminating the Tier 4 and Tier 5 Exotic Beasts in the lake, including members of its own species, the Rain-Calling Toad clan.

This was also why there were no other Exotic Beasts above Tier 4 in the entire lake besides itself.

It refused to allow any Exotic Beast that threatened its status to appear, not even its own kin.

Now, as the king of the Rain-Calling Toad clan.

It had fallen into misfortune, yet not a single Rain-Calling Toad came to its aid. Perhaps this was retribution.

Suddenly.

The Toad King's mind raced. It spat out the Blue Orb from its mouth, then looked at Su Luo.

It seemed to want to exchange the orb for its freedom.

Su Luo, witnessing this, remained completely unmoved.

The Blue Orb, the Tier 6 Exotic Beast Crystal Core – he wanted it all!

Seeing the coldness in Su Luo's eyes, the Toad King guessed his intentions.

Finally, steeling its heart, it forcefully tore off its own tongue.

Then, it immediately turned and plunged into the lake.

At its current level, a severed tongue could regenerate, but losing its life would be truly final.

Seeing the creature's decisiveness, Su Luo panicked.

He couldn't let the treasure within his grasp slip away.

He cast a water-repelling shield around himself and immediately followed the Toad King into the lake.

The lake water was pitch black, but he possessed the Third Eye.

In his eyes, the dark lake water was as bright as day.

Looking down, he saw the Toad King frantically swimming towards the lakebed.

Su Luo wouldn't let a sure thing get away.

He still needed to feed this Level 6 Crystal Core to the Devil Fruit Tree!

Who knew, maybe this time it would yield a Natural-type Devil Fruit.

His body sank downwards, heading straight for the Toad King.

On the shore, Shen Huaiyue and the other two were shocked when they saw Su Luo chase after it.

The underwater world was not like the surface.

On land, Su Luo had the advantage.

Search for the book title and you might not find it. You can try searching for the author instead, maybe the name has changed!

Underwater, he might not have the advantage, as it was the Toad King's home turf.

"What should we do? Brother Su Luo actually chased after it!" Shen Huaiyu asked the other two, her face filled with anxiety.

"Huaiyu, don't panic. Since Su Luo dared to chase after it, it means he's confident. We just need to wait quietly for him to come back up," Liu Yunyi said calmly.

However, her brow remained tightly furrowed, clearly very worried, though she didn't voice it.

Shen Huaiyue didn't speak, her eyes fixed on the lake's surface, praying for Su Luo's safety.

Just as the three of them waited quietly on the shore.

A rustling sound suddenly came from the dense forest behind them.

The three of them turned their heads simultaneously and saw four figures, who appeared to be around their age.

The three immediately assumed a combat formation.

After all, in this dangerous wilderness, it was better to be cautious.

The four people emerged from the dense forest, holding umbrellas.

Upon seeing the three standing by the lake, their faces showed surprise, as if they hadn't expected to encounter anyone else here.

But then, as they took in the condition of the three, their surprised expressions instantly turned to astonishment.

This was because the three were not holding umbrellas, yet their hair and clothes were completely dry, as if the rain had simply vanished upon contact.

Shen Huaiyue and the other two got a clear look at the four: a group of three men and one woman, apparently also exploring the area.

The four approached the three, who were holding umbrellas.

One man, who seemed to be the leader, looked at the surroundings and the corpses of exotic beasts in the lake.

He stepped forward alone, approaching Shen Huaiyue and her companions.

He then introduced himself:

"Hello, ladies. We are sophomores from Qi Shen Ability University. My name is Li Qingtian, and I'm the captain of this team."

After Li Qingtian finished his introduction.

He stood still with his umbrella, waiting for a response from the other three.

Upon hearing him, Shen Huaiyue and the other two glanced at the space bracelets on the four's wrists, dispelling their concerns.

After all, apart from university students, others had no chance of obtaining such bracelets.

They exchanged glances.

Then, Shen Huaiyue stepped forward and said:

"The three of us are freshmen from Giant Ability University. My name is Shen Huaiyue. We are a four-person team, and our captain has gone into the lake to pursue a Tier 6 exotic beast. We are waiting here for him to return."

Shen Huaiyue's words were astonishing.

The four from Qi Shen Ability University were stunned.

They were freshmen.

Their captain had gone into the lake to chase a Tier 6 exotic beast?

Could it be that their captain was a junior?

Had they reached the ninth stage of Supreme Being or the Sky Walker realm?

Yes, that must be it.

After all, freshmen and sophomores simply couldn't possess the strength to hunt a Tier 6 exotic beast.

Once they understood, the four from Qi Shen Ability University all wore expressions of sudden realization.

It seemed these three must have a good standing at the university to have the help of such a powerful junior.

"Oh, I see," Li Qingtian replied with a smile.

He then gestured behind him with his right hand.

"Allow me to introduce my three reliable teammates to you ladies."

"This is Wu Hao, his ability is A-Class Ability, Master of Swift Blades."

"This is Qian Xing, his ability is A-Class Ability, Master of Archery."

"This is Cao Yu'er, the only girl on our team, her ability is A-Class Ability, Master of Hidden Weapons."

"And finally, I am Li Qingtian, my ability is S-Class Ability, Gun King."
