It's Finally Here! (Seeking follow-up reads, don't hoard books)

Mo Fan took out two survey devices with green indicator lights and tossed them to Mu Ningxue, who was responsible for keeping them.

"Two?!" Mu Ningxue felt somewhat surprised.

"Tch, is that even possible?"

"It seems they really finished them. Damn, Mo Fan, how did you manage that? We nearly got wiped out just completing one survey point today!" Peng Liang exclaimed, his voice fluctuating with shock.

"What about you?"

Lan Yu casually tossed out three survey devices; the indicator lights on them were also green, proving he had completed three survey points.

"No way? Why are you guys getting more outrageous one after another?" Zhao Manyan clutched his forehead, his expression complex.

"Those survey points must have just happened to have no demon beasts!" Shen Mingxiao retorted.

Luo Song immediately chimed in, "Isn't it just good luck, plain and simple?"

"If you're trash yourself, don't assume others are just as useless as you. You're really like rats in a gutter, unable to stand even a glimmer of sunlight," Lan Yu scoffed.

Hearing this, Liao Mingxuan's face darkened instantly. "Are you saying we're all a bunch of trash? Don't think you're all that just because you have a Great Warrior-level summon. Let me tell you, Lan Yu, you're nothing but a piece of trash with better luck than others. One day, you'll be absolutely nothing!"

Lan Yu glanced at Liao Mingxuan. For people like this, he had always preferred physical suppression.

With that, he strode toward Liao Mingxuan, who glared at him, magical energy already surging from his body.

A second before Liao Mingxuan could release his magic, Lan Yu suddenly exploded into motion, delivering a side kick that sent him flying.

"Trying to act tough? I'll make you fly!"

The flying Liao Mingxuan nearly lost his breath, though fortunately, Lan Yu's kick only broke a few of his ribs.

As for his life? Lu Nian would be the one to collect it for Lan Yu.

"You two pieces of trash, come over here too!" Lan Yu turned to look at Shen Mingxuan and Luo Song.

"You!!" Both were filled with shock and fear, unable to stop themselves from backing away.

Of course, Lan Yu wouldn't let them off that easily.

He summoned the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which pinned Shen Mingxiao and Luo Song to the ground. Two muffled cracks echoed, their faces turned the color of pig liver, and they let out screams like slaughtered pigs.

"You... you actually dare..." Lu Nian pointed at Lan Yu, shocked and furious.

"What? Do you want to test if my tiger's claws are sharp?" Lan Yu's disdainful gaze made Lu Nian feel a chill run through his entire body.

"Satisfying! So satisfying!" Mo Fan acted as if he were possessed by the thrill. "I've long found these three bastards an eyesore. It had to be you; you're truly a role model for us all!"

The others watched from the sidelines; among those present, no one could likely defeat Lan Yu.

Did these three not realize their toes were already swollen from kicking an iron plate?

"Basic operation, don't make a fuss." Lan Yu waved his hand. "These three pieces of trash have been barking like dogs all day; I've been sick of it for a long time."

"Right, Student Bai, don't heal them. Let them enjoy the night."

"Understood." Standing to the side, Bai Tingting revealed a sweet smile.

As the night deepened, several small groups sat around their respective campfires.

"Damn, brother, you were truly godlike tonight, taking care of those flies directly. I've long found them an eyesore too!" Zhao Manyan sat by the fire, his face full of satisfaction.

It was as if he had been the one to perform those actions just now.

"By the way, have you noticed that everyone is acting a bit strange?" Song Xia asked.

"It's probably because we've encountered life-threatening situations several times, causing everyone a lot of psychological pressure, so they're venting the resentment they've been bottling up," Zheng Bingxiao said.

"I feel like the mission is becoming impossible to continue," Peng Liang remarked.

"To be honest, I sensed a fluctuation of mental power just now," Lan Yu said.

Having undergone the transformation by the Ice and Fire Dragon King within the Ice and Fire Space, his mental realm was now approaching the fifth level.

Even without relying on mental detection, he knew there was a Bewitching Demon Spider in the vicinity.

Logically, that Bewitching Demon Spider should have made its move when the group of trainees was stationed at the church, yet it had stubbornly waited until he returned to act.

Lan Yu attributed this to the butterfly effect.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Lan Yu, seeing him raise his hand, where the Concentration Bracelet on his wrist was emitting a faint glow.

"So that means there's a bewitchment-type demon beast nearby?" Mu Nujiao said with a solemn voice.

"You mentioned that Ming Cong from the Imperial Capital started acting strangely toward Bai Tingting after he came back with water..."

Having said the keyword, Lan Yu's voice came to an abrupt halt.

Fetching water...

Water!!!

Everyone seemed to realize exactly where the culprit behind the scenes was hiding.

"Damn it!" Mo Fan cursed aloud. "This dog-shit coward, actually hiding in the shadows to pull dirty tricks. Let's go kill it!"

"Slaughter it!" Song Xia, for one, was in a foul temper.

The people from the Imperial Capital saw how furious the Pearl Institute group looked, so someone curiously asked what happened, and then they followed along as well.

There were psychic-type demons near the shelter; this was absolutely unacceptable!

The group marched valiantly and spiritedly along the path Ming Cong had taken to fetch water, and soon they arrived at the pool.

Sure enough, the Bewitching Demon Spider that had been playing dirty here was dragged out by everyone.

"Cast your magic, kill it!"

Even with three pieces of trash missing, the Intermediate magic unleashed by the remaining fifteen people would definitely make this Warrior-level Bewitching Demon Spider suffer the consequences.

Under the relentless bombardment of Intermediate magic, the Bewitching Demon Spider was dead beyond a doubt.

The remnant soul of the Bewitching Demon Spider was collected by Mo Fan's Little Loach, but its demon gall was swallowed in one gulp by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

However, the appearance of the Bewitching Demon Spider made the group of trainees realize that this place was simply not a place for a bunch of Intermediate-level youngsters like them to be.

Since no one else among them was injured, they decided to continue with the survey mission.

Only the three injured ones were in that state because of their own loose mouths, and regarding that, the others only said they deserved it.

After a night of rest, another pleasant surprise appeared.

Lan Yu's Summoning Element had broken through to the third level of the Intermediate stage, and in time, he would be able to break through to the Advanced stage.

However, he still hadn't found a suitable contract beast.

Now he would have to wait for a three-month cooldown period before he could return to the Douluo Continent.

The group discussed whether they should take a day off and wait until tomorrow to survey the next location.

Bai Tingting, with a face full of reluctance, treated the injuries of Liao Mingxuan, Shen Mingxiao, and Luo Song.

"Then let's take a day off today and continue the survey tomorrow," Song Xia glanced at the three of them and finally made the decision.

"Trash who only know how to drag others down," Mo Fan sneered.

Zhao Manyan tried to dissuade him, "Hey, hey, don't say that. If they want to be trash, we can't stop them even if we tried."

"Hahaha..." Peng Liang burst into laughter.

Liao Mingxuan and the other two kept their heads down, a flash of ferocious anger hidden in their eyes.

Lan Yu glanced sideways at the three of them; Liao Mingxuan would definitely be killed by Lu Nian, and the latter two would be left to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Huh, speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Lu Nian had finally arrived!
