Chapter 312: A Brush with Death, the Sacred Ground of the Stars

The crowd stood before the barrier radiating a mysterious light, their eyes brimming with curiosity and anticipation.

Li An narrowed his eyes slightly, stepped forward, and carefully examined the barrier sealing the cave.

"This barrier may look sturdy, but before me, it's not enough to matter."

The corner of Li An's mouth curved upward in a confident smile. With a light flick of his long sword, a fierce sword Qi howled towards the barrier.

However, when the sword Qi struck the barrier, it only sent a ripple across its surface, failing to shatter it as Li An had expected.

Yukinoshita Haruno stepped forward, her look grave, and said: "My lord Li An, this barrier is likely no simple matter. Perhaps we need to find its weak point and strike it together."

Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka also gripped her weapon tightly and nodded in agreement: "Haruno is right, we can't blindly force our way through."

Yuigahama Yui, meanwhile, watched Li An nervously from the side, unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes: "My lord Li An, please be careful."

Li An turned to look at them, his gaze steady yet gentle: "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen."
