A Few Fights

"The Fading Lamp Society? Infiltrating the Academy?"

Upon seeing this, his heart skipped a beat.

Did this happen after the task was issued, or did the system issue the task based on what was happening at the time?

This is a very serious issue.

But...

"2000 points, and upgraded to LV10."

Honestly, once you're smitten, there's no way to refuse.

If I give up on this mission, the next one won't be for another month. And who knows if I'll be able to complete it a month from now, or if it will be easier than this one.

"Although I didn't know what it was and I was very scared, I couldn't refuse it."

With that thought in mind, he took a deep breath and clicked "agree".

Drop!

[Task accepted, countdown begins.]

You have gained a temporary inventory. The Explosion Ring will be stored in your inventory and can be used at any time.

It has all the skills, from attack to defense, and now it even has ultimate items.

"Even if I'm on the verge of death during this mission, it'll be fine. I drank that potion beforehand, so I won't be afraid of the pain if I get injured, right?"

He reminded himself of this, but the thought of that possibility still filled him with some fear.

"Don't rush, we have 12 hours. We can use this time to prepare. Phew, has the location been marked on the map? Let's start exploring."

Once he left the dormitory, he began to take action.

The members of the Fading Lamp Society were sitting in a relatively secluded place.

There were a few people in another building next door.

To be honest, using explosives in a place like the Transcendental Academy is actually very risky, and he felt he would be caught 100%.

But...

Despite the systematic assurances, he still managed to deceive himself and accept it.

There is actually a psychological suggestion from Ye Qian in this.

"I saw it."

Upon arriving at the location of the target on the first floor, one could see several people sitting in a dimly lit area inside a window from a distance.

"It feels like we can launch an attack and rush in? Yes... it has to be sudden; hesitation could lead to unexpected problems."

To Ye Qian's surprise, this guy took out a bag of Explosion Ring, grabbed 20 of them, and began charging towards the target's door.

Bite!

As they approached the target, they flicked their hands, causing numerous rings to vibrate metallically. They immediately entered a state of mental activation and flew into the doorway.

In the shadows, two men and one woman were praying, whispering "Great Lamp Queen."

Suddenly, a bunch of rings flew in.

One of the more experienced combatants opened his eyes and, upon seeing the cold glint of light that flashed in the ring at the very last moment, his expression changed slightly.

Boom--

An explosion occurred.

More than 20 rings instantly blasted through the walls, even snapping the steel bars inside. A terrifying shockwave, mixed with blood and flesh, erupted from the house, causing distant trees to sway wildly.

The boy quickly hid at a distance, not daring to look at the scene. Only after the explosion subsided did he glance at it and confirm that the target had been eliminated.

"What immense power!"

He was genuinely shocked.

Upon checking the rewards, I was surprised to find that I had over 200 points.

He knew he couldn't stay there any longer, so he immediately prepared to leave. But then, several small red dots rapidly approached him from a distance.

These points naturally belong to the remaining members of the Fading Lamp Society.

Because of their speed and the fact that they were surrounding him, he quickly realized that he couldn't escape.

A young girl approached him with a cold expression, squinting at him.

After calmly engaging in combat, he pulled his hands to the sides, and a piece of black cloth suddenly flew over and quickly wrapped around him.

"Wind Blade".

With a thought, he launched a counterattack with a Wind Blade, but unexpectedly, the cloth strip was as hard as a rock, and the powerful attack was directly blocked upon contact.

Startled, he quickly drew the knife he had prepared and swung it forcefully, but it felt as if he had struck steel.

He immediately stepped back, triggering three or four Explosion Rings, which he threw away just over a second before they were about to explode.

Boom boom boom!

After more than ten explosions, the strips of cloth were torn apart instantly, and a Pollution smell spread out.

"Puff."

The boy coughed up blood and felt dizzy.

"Interesting. Who are you? How did you know about our gathering and then launch the attack?"

A voice suddenly came from behind. It was a tall, upperclassman. He grabbed the boy who represented the approaching Dusk and squeezed him with a little force, as if crushing tofu, making the boy let out a muffled groan.

"Pretty tough, huh?"

The older student was somewhat surprised that the student in front of him did not show any signs of pain despite the stimulation of such pain.

The person whose shoulder was being grabbed was simply shocked by the other party's strength.

"This person must be Transcendent, and that girl from earlier was probably one too."

My head was spinning so badly it was unimaginable. Ordinary Hidden One would be unable to withstand the Pollution just by facing someone of this level, let alone fight.

This was the first time he had experienced the terror of facing someone who was being promoted.

With a wave of his hands, a handful of Explosion Ring appeared in his palms.

"You..."

The older student's expression changed slightly, and he instantly let go of her hand and quickly retreated.

"Goodbye."

The male student was thrown out forcefully.

"Damn it."

Although they were Transcendent, they were still afraid of the combined power of such magical explosions, because the Explosion Ring did indeed have the ability to kill Transcendent; otherwise, Luo Chen would not have been able to be killed by Ye Qian.

Boom!

A horrific explosion occurred.

The senior student used his ghostly movements to escape a great distance, but he seemed to lack direct means of defense and was still affected by the sudden bombardment.

"Cough cough." He coughed with difficulty, and when he came to his senses and looked in the middle, the boy had already disappeared.

The crowd at the scene was enveloped in an eerie atmosphere.

The woman using the cloth was actually the girl from the Fading Lamp Society, the leader Ye Qian had encountered at the beginning of the academy, an infiltrator from outside the campus.

Judging from this battle, her strength is actually quite good.

"If it were me before my promotion, I probably wouldn't be able to beat her. The reason I was able to defeat Luo Chen back then was because his abilities were somewhat restrained by my Mystic Thread and clones. Without enough destructive power, there's no way to blow up that guy's strips of cloth."

In another location, the boy who threw the ring during the fight was actually caught in the crossfire and injured.

Upon arriving in the other world, Ye Qian immediately sent him into a dream, and then used her clone in reality to directly pour a hand-sized version of the Water of Purification into him.

As for Little Soul, being her own clone, there was nothing for her to care about. Ye Qian didn't even mind passing her saliva over, since Xiao Hun was unconscious and wouldn't be able to feel it anyway.

Even if you do feel it, it's all about yourself, so you won't feel any resentment.

The boy recovered quickly, and Ye Qian took him back to his dormitory and then successfully woke him up.

When he opened his eyes, he actually returned to this place instantly in his memory.

He touched his body and found that he had no injuries at all.

The task has been completed, and the reward has been issued.

However, there was a follow-up: he was prohibited from disclosing any related information, and it was made clear that although there might be some trouble later, he would be protected.

"It seems I've most likely been caught by the school. But with this move, those... those members of the Fading Lamp Society will probably be targeted too. The academy's teachers should be able to find out their identities, right?"

He waited anxiously.

The Fading Lamp Society is a temporary gathering place for the Transcendental Academy.

The "school uniform girl" arrived here with two other people.

The true leader here, a boy dressed like a student, opened his eyes.

"Were we under attack?"

"Yes, leader, we haven't figured out who the attackers are, but we've already been exposed," the girl replied.

The team leader stood up and went to the window to look outside.

"That's strange. Our operations are so secretive, and we always use shielding techniques when we gather, yet we still get attacked. Who could have done this?"

"..."

The people behind them didn't say anything.

The two students further away, who seemed to be of the lowest status, were even half-bent over, their eyes filled with an indescribable longing.

Chapter 139 Several Battles

One minute later...

"The academy's investigation indicates we need a little more time. Let's apply for a divination from above," the team leader said to the girl behind him, seemingly having made up his mind.

"Fortune telling?" The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. "I can only try. Whether I can get the necessary tools is another matter."

"They should give it to us. This college is very important to us. We finally found a breakthrough, and even the teachers there were deceived. It's really frustrating to be forced to give up now."

The team leader was in a bad mood.

This attack by an unknown force immediately reminded him of those forces that had clashed with the Fading Lamp Society in the past.

There are too many.

But who would be capable of launching an attack in such a place? Could it be a hostile organization? Did they, like us, infiltrate our side and then have a student launch a sneak attack on us?

"Heh, they killed three of our people in one go. Their intelligence network is quite good."

They were also very ruthless.

The girl then made the contact.

The academy was not completely closed off, but at this moment, because of the sudden explosion, leaving would easily arouse suspicion.

Therefore, she used a special piece of paper as a means of communication.

Shortly after I wrote down the corresponding content, a reply appeared on the paper.

She smiled and immediately caught up with the team leader.
