Killing Xu Long, Seizing the Earth Dragon Egg!

Above the ruins, a Ghost Face Monkey's face.

The moonlight gradually faded, but the rolling killing intent grew stronger.

Lu Xuan tilted his head, his golden eyes scanning Xu Long and the others, finally locking onto the two Earth Dragon eggs.

"A Ghost Face Martial Artist?!"

Upon seeing Lu Xuan, Xu Long and the others instinctively cried out.

The Ghost Face Martial Artist's name was well-known in Ruins City; in just one night, he had plundered nearly dozens of teams. Some speculated he wasn't a Martial Artist from Jinling City, as even people from the Monster Potion Company had been plundered.

"Damn it, why did we run into him!?"

Xu Long cursed inwardly.

This kind of Martial Artist was the most terrifying.

A fierce dragon crossing the river, he would definitely display his divine might.

If targeted by him, one either accepted their fate or fought to the death.

According to speculation on the Martial Artist forum, and the fact that the Ghost Face Martial Artist dared to appear here, it must prove that the opponent was an advanced Martial Artist, or even stronger.

There was no one in the team who could fight him.

They could only befriend him, not antagonize him.

Thinking of this.

Xu Long stepped forward to negotiate:

"Your Excellency, I am from the Xu family of Jinling City!"

"We have no past grievances, nor present enmity. I wonder if you could do us a favor? My Xu family will definitely visit with a thank-you gift in the future."

His attitude was sufficiently sincere.

It was a complete contrast to his earlier thought of using Lu Xuan as cannon fodder.

"Do you a favor?"

Lu Xuan's smile vanished. "Give me the two Earth Dragon eggs, and I'll be happy to do you that favor."

Hearing this, Xu Long's face changed drastically.

He finally understood.

This person wasn't just passing by, but had come specifically for the Earth Dragon eggs!

Damn it!

Xu Long rubbed the storage ring on his hand and said, "Your Excellency, are you really going to snatch the Earth Dragon eggs?"

Lu Xuan saw this small movement.

He smiled and snapped his fingers.

The next second.

Buzz--!

Iron filings and broken stones floated in the air, like bullets poised to fire, aiming at Xu Long and the others.

"You'd better not play any tricks with me..."

Lu Xuan grinned menacingly. "Otherwise, I can't guarantee who dies first."

"Telekinesis... controlling objects?!"

Xu Long and the others' pupils contracted sharply, completely unable to believe their eyes.

What kind of ability was this?

How was this possible?!

"Who, who exactly are you?" Xu Long's voice trembled as he staggered back to the Earth Dragon eggs, his hands shaking like a sieve. He clutched the eggs and aimed them at the ground, threatening, "If you make a move, we'll all perish together!"

He was truly terrified.

Someone who could control objects from a distance.

If Lu Xuan had made a move just now, he could have instantly killed everyone present without them being able to defend themselves.

Fear and panic set in.

"Interesting, you dare to threaten me with inanimate objects?"

Lu Xuan flicked his finger, and the tech capsule containing the Earth Dragon eggs detached from Xu Long's grasp, floating in mid-air.

"You, I... How, how is this possible?!"

Xu Long was terrified and wanted to jump up to grab them.

"Don't waste your energy."

Lu Xuan sneered. "Since the Earth Dragon eggs are in hand, you can all leave with peace of mind!"

As he spoke, all the floating objects around them tensed up, aiming at everyone.

"No, you can't kill us!"

Xu Long roared, "My Xu family's Martial Dao Grandmaster is rushing this way. If you dare to kill us, he will definitely not let you go!"

"Martial Dao Grandmaster?"

Lu Xuan sneered, stood up, and took a step forward.

Under everyone's horrified gaze, he walked on air, step by step above Xu Long and the others, and collected the Earth Dragon eggs into his storage ring.

"How about that?"

Lu Xuan spread his hands and grinned.

Xu Long's legs went weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud, stammering, "Grandmaster!"

"You are a Martial Dao Grandmaster!"

"You, you can't kill me! You can't kill me! I'm from the Xu family, my grandfather is a Martial Dao Grandmaster!"

He was scared.

No, the entire team was scared.

Lu Xuan ignored them and snapped his fingers.

Pfft, pfft, pfft—!

Fragments rained down, piercing everyone present. Blood splattered, turning the scene into a living hell.

Lu Xuan slowly landed, looking at Xu Long, who was on his last breath with his limbs severed, and removed the Ghost-faced Monkey mask:

"Young Master Xu, you really didn't lie to me."

"This is truly a great fortune!"

Xu Long saw Lu Xuan's face clearly, his eyes widened, and his body convulsed. He tried to make a sound, but it was blocked by the blood in his throat, only a gurgling noise emerged.

Slash!

A swift move of the blade.

"Hiss!"

After finishing, Lu Xuan felt a wave of dizziness, and he immediately collapsed on the ground, "Too much showing off."

Don't let his earlier display fool you; his Mental Power was as easily depleted as 98-octane gasoline.

If he had shown off for another minute, he would have fainted on the spot.

Lu Xuan, with a pounding headache, couldn't stand up and lay quietly on the ground.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Finally, after five minutes, the dizziness subsided, and he shakily got up.

The smell of blood filled his nostrils.

He took the storage rings from Xu Long and the others and looked around.

"I can't stay here long."

Lu Xuan took out an Earth Dragon egg and smashed one of them at the scene. The Earth Dragon's liquid flowed all over the ground, and the blood mist spread. He quickly hid far away, afraid of being detected by the Earth Dragon if it smelled the scent. Looking at the blood-soaked ground, he clicked his tongue:

"Earth Dragons are indeed vengeful. Even if their own eggs are shattered, they will kill Xu Long."

Earth Dragon: "F*** you!"

The sky began to brighten.

Somewhere in Ruins City.

Roar—!

A Titan Beast, with sharp spikes covering its back and standing a hundred zhang tall, let out a sky-shattering roar.

Immense power surged from within its body, and the roar, accompanied by waves of air, swept across several miles.

When the roar ended, the ground trembled.

Sand and stones rolled, and the lake water boiled.

Inside Ruins City, all the Martial Artists felt their spirits lift. Looking towards the direction of the sound, they saw monsters like ants kicking up dust and pushing forward.

"A, a beast tide!"

"Everyone, retreat quickly!"

The Earth Dragon Beast has started a beast tide, it has broken through to the Awakened Level, hurry!"

Fortunately, most Martial Artists were outside the third ring of Ruins City, giving them enough time to evacuate to the safe zone when the beast tide arrived.

Jiangnan Martial University.

Lu Xuan, as weak as a "guide" who had taken off countless times, stumbled out of the dust.

"Lu Xuan?"

Class 6's monitor, Xu Xin, exclaimed and quickly ran over, saying, "I thought you were dead... uh, met with an accident. I couldn't reach you either."

She quickly took out a pill and handed it to Lu Xuan.

Others cast their gazes.

They were slightly surprised to find that he was from the logistics personnel.

How could an ordinary person who had left the team survive a night in the wilderness?

"After you separated from me, I originally planned to send everyone my location, but I encountered a Monster and hid."

Lu Xuan's voice was weak. After taking the pill, he felt a little better. He tugged at his torn combat suit and said, "I don't have to pay for this, right?"

"..."

Perhaps this was the worry of an ordinary person?

Xu Xin showed a sweet smile, "No need!"

"That's great!" Lu Xuan repeatedly thanked her and asked, "How are our class's grades?"

"Lu Xuan."

Before Xu Xin could answer, another logistics staff member spoke up, "You only collected one Monster for us, you don't get a share of any other gains."

"That's right, Jiangnan Martial University operates according to the rules."

Class 6's gains were not bad.

Especially since their monitor had killed a High-level Monster, it could be said that she ranked first in the freshman trial.

They, the logistics staff, would receive a large sum of money.

Lu Xuan, who hadn't contributed at all, would definitely get a share.

After all, everyone else had worked desperately for this money!

Xu Xin didn't know what to say. She looked at Lu Xuan and comforted him, "I'm sorry, I was in too much of a hurry back then. After returning to the city, I'll personally take out a sum of money as spiritual compensation."

"Thank you, Monitor Xu." Lu Xuan lowered his head, his voice sounding a little dejected, "I understand everyone. There's no reason to split the money earned through hard work equally."

Seeing him like this, Xu Xin felt even more guilty.

She had been too rushed at the time and hadn't considered Lu Xuan's situation.

It was already a great fortune that he was alive now.

Bang!

As they were talking, a teacher from Jiangnan Martial University appeared in front of them.

Looking at the crowd at the scene, he said, "All classes, take stock of your personnel, immediately count the numbers, and report any injured or unfortunately deceased individuals!"

"Furthermore, this trial has ended. Thirty Jiangnan Martial University freshmen died, three Intermediate Martial Artists, and twenty-seven low-level Martial Artists. I hope you will remember this trial, act within your capabilities, and do not act on impulse..."

The teacher's voice reached everyone's ears.

Whether students or ordinary people, everyone present felt a sense of relief.

Just as the Jiangnan Martial University team was preparing to return to the city--

"Wait a moment!"

Several powerful auras descended upon the plaza.

Many teachers from Jiangnan Martial University stood up and looked, seeing a middle-aged man leading the group step forward, facing the teachers and saying, "Esteemed teachers, my son, Xu Long, is dead. Should I not be given an explanation?"
