Another World

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

The rumbling echoed between heaven and earth. The rift in the portal grew wider and wider, and the ability users from Number 98 charged into it.

Compared with the enormous portal, humans were as tiny as bees.

After the ability users from Number 98 entered, Meng Yao and Shan Shou exchanged a glance. Shan Shou looked up at the sky, as if he could see the two figures above.

Then he and Meng Yao charged into the ruins together.

They had already divided up the responsibilities before coming.

Elder Wang would hold down the fort at Number 98's Jiangnan Headquarters, while Chen Tianxin and Liu Feng would remain in Hancheng to guard against people from North America and Northern Europe.

As for him and Meng Yao, they were the Grandmasters entering the ruins this time!

Now, however, the ruins that had appeared were actually red. Clearly, even more ability users from Number 98 would be pouring in, and his and Meng Yao's mission had changed somewhat.

Scout the area!

That was right, scout the area!

Every ruin was a different world. Since they were the first to enter, they didn't have to seek out the inheritance right away. Instead, they could map out the routes in this other world—that was, scout the area.

Then they would wait for the other ability users from Number 98 to arrive and seize the inheritance in one fell swoop!

But their mission was also the most dangerous.

They had no idea what awaited them in that world, or what unknown things they might encounter.

And unknown things were often the most terrifying!

Seeing Meng Yao and Shan Shou enter the portal, Chen Tianxin looked at Liu Feng, who had finished giving his orders, and teased, "So, both your disciples have gone in. If anything happens to them, who'll see you off when you die?"

"If you don't know how to talk, then don't. I don't know if you'd die if you kept quiet, but if you keep this up, you'll definitely die!"

Liu Feng stared at Chen Tianxin expressionlessly.

Chen Tianxin gave an awkward laugh and said no more.

If he kept going, Liu Feng might really beat him to death!

Liu Feng ignored Chen Tianxin and looked into the portal. Then he turned back to Chen Tianxin and said, "Don't you think the ruins have been appearing rather quickly these past few years?"

Chen Tianxin froze. After thinking it over, he realized Liu Feng was right and fell silent.

Something did seem off!

But he really hadn't considered what the reason might be!

After Yang Chen entered the portal, he felt the world before his eyes spin and shift. His mind grew muddled as well.

When Yang Chen woke again, he discovered that he was no longer in Hancheng, but in a completely different place!

Or rather, another world!

Yang Chen looked around. Apart from the two A-Class and ten B-Class ability users who had entered with him, there was no one else.

The scenery had changed, too. Yang Chen was now on a small hill, surrounded by other hills of roughly the same size.

Spiritual energy still existed in this world. In fact, it was even denser than in the outside world.

"My cultivation actually improved!"

A B-Class ability user's voice interrupted Yang Chen's thoughts.

A B-Class ability user was cheering, his face alight with excitement.

Yang Chen silently sensed the energy and found that the spiritual energy here was indeed three times denser than in the outside world!

In other words, one day of cultivation here was equivalent to three days outside!

Yang Chen drew a quiet breath.

What a great place!

"Everyone, stay where you are and recover to your peak condition!"

Yang Chen gave the order to his teammates.

He sat down as well, absorbing the spiritual energy around him and adjusting his condition.

The ability users obediently followed his instructions. After all, Yang Chen was an S-Class ability user, and they were no match for him. It was better to heed his orders.

Besides, Yang Chen was the leader of their team, wasn't he?

About ten minutes later, Yang Chen slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

As Yang Chen came to, the other ability users around him gradually emerged from their dazed state.

Only after the last person had woken did Yang Chen speak. "Since everyone's ready, I'll make this clear: in my team, you must follow my orders. If you don't want to, leave now!"

Yang Chen's cold gaze swept over everyone. He didn't want to lead a group of disobedient people. They would only hold him back.

Yang Chen preferred being alone.

Sometimes, too many people were a burden!

"Does that mean if you order us to go to our deaths, we have to do it?"

A B-Class ability user spoke up, clearly unwilling to follow Yang Chen's orders.

The man was rather old. Seeing how young Yang Chen was, he evidently thought Yang Chen was too inexperienced for the job.

"You can leave. I'm not stopping you!"

Yang Chen looked at the man, his gaze flickering slightly.

The man had already made a very poor impression on him.

The man shifted slightly, then made no further move. He was only B-Class, and if he left the group here, he could easily die.

It was better to stick with the main group!

Yang Chen looked coldly at the group. "Since no one's leaving, that settles it. If I find anyone disobeying my orders, I'll personally kick you out of the team!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people looked indignant. Yang Chen quietly took note of each of them.

He wouldn't rely on them. If necessary, he might even leave them behind.

"Good. Then follow me. We're going to scout the terrain!"

Yang Chen said no more. He led the group toward the unknown.

Along the way, Yang Chen was extremely cautious, keeping an eye on every corner. This was his first time entering ruins, and he knew how dangerous they could be. Without the strength to dominate this place, it was better to be careful!

The hills weren't very large, and Yang Chen and the others were all ability users. They soon climbed over to another hill. A faint presence hung in the dense forest, making Yang Chen feel very uncomfortable!

Yang Chen was walking through the forest on the hillside with the group of ability users when his ear twitched. He barked, "Stay alert!"

Everyone reacted at once, circulating the spiritual energy in their bodies and preparing to fight at any moment.

Then, right in front of them, a series of black shadows suddenly appeared and charged toward Yang Chen's group!

In an instant, killing intent surged!

To be continued!
