I Saw the Light!

Jiang You collected all the valuable experimental data in the laboratory into her space, then said, "We should get out."

Zhang Shuhui stared at the welded-shut exit. "Lord Yan Chi used that iron contraption to weld nine whole layers of iron walls across the passage. If we want to get out, we'll have to melt the iron first..."

Jiang You glanced at the streak of red hair standing alone in the corner, looking depressed.

She took out her pocket watch and checked the time. "We've been in here for over three hours. Judging by the time, the people coming to open the door for us should have arrived."

Zhang Shuhui asked, "Who?"

Could they have reinforcements?

How come I didn't know about them?

Just as she was wondering, she faintly heard scraping and banging sounds coming from behind the welded-shut iron door.

Shangguan Ling's furious roar came through the iron door loud and clear.

"Useless trash! Bunch of good-for-nothings! Put your backs into it!!!"

"Hurry up! How long are you going to keep dragging your feet?!!"

"Captain, it's almost open! It'll be open any second! Please don't rush us!"

Several dozen fire-element ability users arrived late, their faces deathly pale and their legs trembling as they supported one another.

When they saw the look Shangguan Ling shot back at them, their hands instantly went slack, and they collapsed limply onto the ground.

"Captain, I really can't go on! I can't squeeze out another drop!!"

One fire-element ability user raised his hand. A single flame struggled out of his palm and dripped onto the ground, then went out with a pfft.

The fire-element ability users' eyes instantly reddened, overcome by uncontrollable sorrow.

The metal-element ability users cutting through the wall at the front felt somewhat sympathetic and spoke up for them.
