Chapter 322: Cross-Dimensional Mission

Two more days passed.

At noon on this day, a sci-fi style spaceship suddenly arrived above District C of the Golden Academy, and at this moment, many cultivators were already standing in front of their cultivation rooms waiting.

They had received the information yesterday, knowing that a spaceship would pick them up at noon today to head to World No. 6 to participate in a cross-dimensional combat mission.

Among them were not only cultivators like Li Yi who were forced to participate, but also those who joined voluntarily, such as Jiang Jiang Mingtian, the tall purple-eyed man, and several unfamiliar students. Their thoughts were simple: go to World No. 6 to plunder resources and embark on the path of genetic combat.

This was the fastest opportunity to cultivate both paths simultaneously. Although dangerous, many were still tempted in the face of such huge temptation.

Li Yi was already fully prepared. He wore a suit of armor crafted from extraordinary metal and carried a pale red magic sword on his back. Although it looked a bit incongruous, he was armed to the teeth. Jiang Jiang Mingtian, not far away, was much the same, also wearing armor and carrying a precious sword at his waist.

"District C, No. 44, Zhang Guangming? Those whose names are called, board the spaceship immediately." At this moment, the spaceship hovered in mid-air. As the cabin door opened, a man holding an electronic screen shouted loudly.

The next moment, a figure rushed out from a nearby cultivation room. A cultivator named Zhang Guangming leaped up and landed in the spaceship's cabin.

"Identity information confirmed, take your seat." The man nodded, then shouted again: "District C, No. 51, Chen Li."

"Coming." The speaker was a woman. She moved swiftly, also leaping onto the spaceship. Moreover, her strength was formidable; she was actually a powerhouse at the Soul Realm level.

"District C, No. 64, Li Yi." The man continued calling names.

The next moment, Li Yi channeled his Gang Qi. Wrapped in a surge of powerful Gang Qi, he leaped into the air and landed precisely in the cabin like a large bird.

"He can fly while only at the Spirit Perception Realm? No, that's not right. He must have cultivated other cultivation methods; one cannot judge him by common sense." Zhang Guangming and Chen Li, who had entered the cabin earlier, couldn't help but look solemn at this sight. When they saw Li Yi's extraordinary weapons and armor, they revealed looks of wariness.

With such strength and such a background, there was no doubt: he was another freak.

While they were sizing up Li Yi, Li Yi also sized them up.

Although they were strangers to each other, they were still relatively friendly, nodding slightly as a greeting.

"You are Li Yi? The one who killed a Soul Realm student named Wang Fan in the Golden Academy a few days ago?" The man calling the names saw Li Yi's information and looked at him with surprise.

Li Yi only said: "I was framed."

"It doesn't matter. You were sent here to participate in the battle because you committed an offense, so you will be directly assigned to the vanguard team later. You'd better be careful." The man reminded him.

"I understand, thank you." Li Yi nodded, then sat in his seat and said no more.

"District C, No. 65, Jiang Jiang Mingtian." The man continued calling names.

Soon, Jiang Jiang Mingtian also boarded the spaceship. He was somewhat excited: "Hurry up, the precious sword at my waist is already humming."

"District C, No. 67, Sikong Yao." As the name was called, the tall purple-eyed man wearing liquid battle armor soon boarded the spaceship as well.

"Li Yi, Jiang Jiang Mingtian, I thought you two wouldn't go to World No. 6. I didn't expect you to come after all." Sikong Yao smiled. At the same time, his aura was very strange, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression; just being near him made one feel the gap in life levels.

Jiang Jiang Mingtian's eyes moved: "You broke through to the Soul Realm?"

"Of course. I have long followed the path of genetic evolution and also cultivate both paths. I have been tempering my will recently, so it's not strange to break through, right?" Sikong Yao said.

It seemed that not only had they made progress recently, but others had not slacked off either. After entering the Golden Academy, their potential began to explode. Some cultivators who had become Spirit Perception Realm early on had now taken a step forward, and their realms had broken through.

"I didn't want to come on this trip, but I had no choice. I offended someone and was exiled here," Li Yi said.

Sikong Yao said: "Then you'd better not die. The deal between us hasn't been completed yet. This time I will get some precious items. As long as my luck isn't bad, I will definitely be able to earn enough points."

He was worried that Li Yi wouldn't return from this trip, leaving no one to trade with him.

"Don't worry, I won't die. I will definitely be able to return. As for you, don't be too impulsive; be careful not to perish in World No. 6," Li Yi said calmly. This time, he brought the golden coffin, holding a great weapon of mass destruction in his hands.

"Haha, you don't need to worry about that. I am fully prepared this time. A World No. 6 cannot bury me," Sikong Yao laughed loudly, clearly full of confidence.

Just as the few were talking, several more cultivators entered the cabin. They were all newcomers wanting to try their luck in World No. 6.

As all the participants arrived, the spaceship started again and flew directly toward a certain location in the Golden Academy.

Soon.

The spaceship arrived in front of a building made of some kind of metal and stopped.

Rather than a building, it was more like a fortress.

Inside this fortress, there existed a cross-dimensional gate. For some reason, this gate remained in an open state and was not closed. Through the gate, everyone could clearly see a brand-new world on the other side, and the people of the Golden Academy had already occupied an area there.

It was just that it was like a military stronghold there, with various weapons deployed and many powerful cultivators stationed.

"Get off the ship, follow me."

The man responsible for calling the names shouted, then led everyone on the spaceship toward the cross-dimensional gate.

Just as they were about to enter the fortress, near the gate, a man wearing Daoist robes with his hair in a bun was standing there, looking toward this side with a smile. To be precise, he was looking at Li Yi in the team.

"Xu Wendao?" Li Yi's gaze sank.

"Li Yi, it's not too late for you to change your mind now. As long as you give me the cross-dimensional points, I can find a way to get you out of the vanguard team and let you stay at the World No. 6 base without participating in the cross-dimensional battle. Although it will be a bit hard, at least your life will be safe." Xu Wendao said. Although he wanted to kill Li Yi, he wanted the cross-dimensional points in his hands even more.

After all, in the world Li Yi mastered, one could obtain Longevity Pills. If he died just like that, it would be a pity. "Xu Wendao, stop dreaming. I won't give you the cross-dimensional points. You'd better go back and prepare a coffin, then wash your neck clean and wait for me to come back and slaughter you," Li Yi said coldly.

"You won't be able to come back." Xu Wendao looked at Li Yi and said: "I guarantee it."

"I don't believe it." Li Yi said.

"You will believe it." Xu Wendao said seriously: "I paid the price of a storage magic treasure and pulled some strings. He can kill you, and he can also save you. It depends on how you choose. If you change your mind, you only need to give me the cross-dimensional points, and there is still a turning point. I am a very easy person to talk to; I have always been giving you a chance."

"Don't worry, after I cut off your head, I will also be very easy to talk to. When the time comes, tell me in advance where you want to be buried, and I guarantee to let your whole family be reunited," Li Yi said.

"You are truly evil, involving your family at every turn. In that case, there is nothing more to be said. I can only send you on this final journey." Xu Wendao sighed, then shook his head and left on his own.

After he left.

Jiang Jiang Mingtian, who was on the side, whispered: "This guy really has many storage magic treasures. To deal with you, he actually gave one away. It will definitely be right to rob him in the future."

"I don't know what tricks he is going to play, so I have to be careful." Li Yi said: "Cultivation is not just about killing; there is also human sophistication. This guy really spent a lot of capital to bribe connections with a storage magic treasure."

Soon.

The team walked into the fortress, and as they moved forward, they soon passed through the cross-dimensional gate and entered the World No. 6 base.

The base was very large, and there were pockmarks on the ground, as if they had fought with the people of World No. 6 not long ago, resulting in some damage. The air was filled with the smell of war. It could be seen that the current situation was very tense, and the next conflict could break out at any time.

"You are the last batch of students participating in this mission. The counterattack will take place tonight. Specific mission requirements will be notified to you one hour before the operation. I am the operation leader, Huo Hong. From now on, you must listen to my command for everything. Any questions?"

At this time, a man wearing battle armor with short silver hair walked over. His aura was fierce and full of murderous intent; just being near him made people feel suffocated.

Everyone was silent.

Because they knew very well that the person in front of them was a powerhouse at the Spirit Power Realm level.

"Very good, since you are silent, it means there are no problems." Huo Hong said calmly, then his gaze swept over everyone like a knife, and he said in a deep voice: "Among you, who is Li Yi?"

"I am." Li Yi took a step forward at this moment.

Huo Hong revealed a smile: "Someone found me and gave me a storage magic treasure, asking me to arrange a very dangerous mission for you during this cross-dimensional battle, preferably letting you die in this operation. However, I think doing so is too troublesome. If you were lucky enough not to die, and I had already accepted someone else's gift, wouldn't that make me look incompetent? And what if, like the protagonist in a novel, you not only didn't die but instead made great progress in strength in the future and came to me for revenge?"

"So it's better to be direct. I'll kill you now. Don't blame me. The price the other party paid to buy the life of a Spirit Perception Realm cultivator like you is enough."

As the words fell.

Li Yi felt a sense of fatal crisis. His pupils suddenly shrank, but then he saw a brilliant light fly out from Huo Hong's fingertips, like a jumping electric arc, rushing toward him.

Too fast.

Such an attack was unavoidable.

Unexpectedly, this Huo Hong was so lawless that he actually killed someone directly in the base in front of everyone, without any intention of dealing with Li Yi at all.

The gap in realms was right here.

Li Yi was completely powerless.

"Am I going to die here?" He had only this thought in his mind.

All his backups were useless in the face of such direct strangulation by a high-realm powerhouse.

He thought this attack would instantly blast Li Yi into pieces, but unexpectedly, a layer of brilliant radiance suddenly lit up in front of Li Yi. This radiance blocked the attack and directly protected Li Yi.

Li Yi, who was supposed to die, was not directly strangled by Huo Hong.

"This Li Yi belongs to my team now. Huo Hong, you don't have any objections, right?" Suddenly, a cold and arrogant voice came, and a man and a woman walked over with big strides, followed by a team.

"You want to protect this Li Yi?" Huo Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, recognizing the person who came.

Li Yi escaped death at this moment, breaking out in a cold sweat. He felt lingering fear and then looked at the person who helped him.

He also knew those two people.

It was Bai Bai Sinan, who had come to pick him up but ended up having his body severed by the Fei Eye Divine Light and was useless.

No, he had to take that back.

Bai Bai Sinan was not useless; now he was useful.

"Not bad, I'm protecting this Li Yi. What do you want to do?" Bai Bai Sinan's tone was indifferent, and he glanced at him: "Want to fight? I don't mind killing you, guy, in advance."

"Then you'd better protect him well, and be careful in the future." Huo Hong glanced at Tao Lu on the side.

He had a hard time dealing with Bai Bai Sinan alone. If he added Tao Lu, who was inseparable from him, he would definitely be defeated.

The situation was unfavorable, so he didn't entangle himself, snorted heavily, and turned to leave.
