Chapter 40

"Hahaha... Yu Zhilin, so many years have passed, and you still haven't made any progress!"

During the battle, a man in battle armor revealed a cruel smile, constantly provoking him: "Hiding in the school like a dog—I didn't expect to meet you in this wilderness today. Is it your luck or mine?"

Yu Zhilin’s face was gloomy, and the anger in his eyes was almost uncontrollable.

"Wu Yicheng, after mixing in the Adventurers Guild for so long, I haven't seen you make much progress either. Stop the nonsense and let’s see what you’re really made of!"

As they spoke, the battle between the two intensified.

The entire small woods were destroyed by chaotic skills.

Behind a giant rock in the distance, Wang Ziqian also had a gloomy face, his gaze toward Yu Zhilin full of hatred.

He was already unhappy about coming out to level up in the middle of the night.

He didn't expect to run into his "generous" teacher in the dead of night.

"Uncle Wu is a Tier 5 powerhouse and still can't take him down. Just how strong is he?"

Wang Ziqian’s grades were actually not bad, and he could see that Yu Zhilin was already no match for Wu Yicheng.

"Hmph, die and be done with it, for shielding that bastard!"

The battle continued.

Ten minutes later, Yu Zhilin could only struggle to defend.

"If I’m killed here, when those two little ones come out... No, I must leave!"

Immediately.

He swung his blade at Wu Yicheng, forced him back, and ran toward the outside of the small woods.

"Want to leave... Not good!"

Just at this moment.

Eerie energy emerged, followed by a massive roar.

The sound of the explosion came from near the giant rock where Wang Ziqian was.

"Ziqian!!"

Wu Yicheng flashed over and saw Wang Ziqian’s lower body pinned under the giant rock, the intense pain causing him to fall into a coma, while two figures stood on top of him.

"Get lost!!"

Wu Yicheng was frantic and raised his sword to slash at them.

"Wu Yicheng, how dare you! She is from the Ye family..."

However, Yu Zhilin’s words were too slow; the sword light flashed and struck directly at the two figures.

Clang!!

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and golden light descended from the sky, blocking the sword light directly.

"Pfft!!"

Wu Yicheng spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at the golden light in disbelief. He looked up slightly and saw an ancient stone tower floating in mid-air.

That golden light was emitted by the ancient tower.

While puzzled, he suddenly let out a scream: "Ah... you... you bastard..."

He slowly looked down at his chest.

A blood-stained blade had pierced through his chest, and drops of blood were falling.

"In your next life, don't expose your back to the enemy!"

Yu Zhilin’s cold voice came slowly.

Strike while the iron is hot!

He pulled the blade sideways, bringing up a smear of bright red blood, which scattered under the golden light.

Wu Yicheng never dreamed that he would die in such a humiliating way.

"Are you two okay?"

Yu Zhilin put away his blade, looked at the loot all over the ground, and the heavy stone in his heart fell. The serious expression on his face dissipated, replaced by a kind smile.

Those two figures were none other than Luo Chenyu and Ye Xingtong.

Both were bewildered, having no idea what had just happened.

When the space fissures were raging earlier, a prompt suddenly appeared before their eyes, asking if they wanted to settle and leave the secret realm.

Naturally, they chose to leave.

But they didn't expect that the [Eternal Tower] would follow them out and save their lives once again.

"We’re fine... Huh, why is it so soft?"

Luo Chenyu shook his head, suddenly feeling that the sensation under his feet was wrong, and looked down.

"How is this grandson Wang Ziqian still acting as a footrest for me?"

The mocking voice didn't wake the unconscious Wang Ziqian.

"Teacher Yu, what happened?"

Ye Xingtong looked at the disheveled Yu Zhilin and then at the ruin-like scene around them, immediately asking.

"Ran into some enemies. Fortunately, you appeared, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Yu Zhilin pointed to the stone tower in mid-air and asked, "What is... this thing?"

At this moment, Luo Chenyu looked at the [Eternal Tower] and remembered that there was one more thing he hadn't done.

"Teacher Yu, Tongtong, I’ll be right back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Chenyu’s figure turned into a golden light and entered the stone tower.

"Ah... this..."

Yu Zhilin was dumbfounded and turned to look at Ye Xingtong, "What is this?"

Ye Xingtong wiped the dust off her face, returned to her cold expression, and said faintly, "I don't know what it is either, but it saved our lives!"

She pushed off with her feet and jumped directly off Wang Ziqian’s back.

She began to recount the events at the Skeleton Throne.

Of course, she briefly skipped over Luo Chenyu’s monstrous strength.

The important thing was to inform Yu Zhilin about the Skeleton Throne, the Undead Archmage Andrei, and the skeleton giant so he could report it to the higher-ups.

She knew that those two unknown powerhouses definitely wouldn't have died from a space fissure.

They were just banished to some unknown place.

"In other words..." Yu Zhilin rubbed his chin, "You two blew up a special secret realm?"

Ye Xingtong: "..."

Why did the usually serious Dean of Students look so... dull right now?

"There’s nothing wrong with saying it that way!"

Ye Xingtong nodded and continued, "However, please report this to Principal Grandpa, Teacher Yu. It would be best to pass it on to the people of the Barbarian God Legion!"

"Rest assured, reporting the matter of the Skeleton Throne is a must!"

Yu Zhilin thought for a moment and said, "When the time comes, we’ll need student Luo Chenyu to go along as well, since he is a party involved!"

"Hmm... hmm?"

Ye Xingtong’s expression changed suddenly, her cold look vanishing instantly, "Brother Yu, you’re out already!"

Yu Zhilin: "???"

Watching Luo Chenyu reappear, the stone tower in the sky turned into golden light and vanished into Luo Chenyu’s hand.

Yu Zhilin was stunned for a moment but didn't continue to ask.

"What should we do with Wang Ziqian?"

Luo Chenyu went to the giant rock first to check Wang Ziqian’s injuries.

This question stumped both Yu Zhilin and Ye Xingtong.

As the Dean of Students, Wang Ziqian was his student after all; not saving him wouldn't do, but saving him wouldn't do either.

As a graduating student, the latter had never been exposed to such things and was completely confused.

Seeing this, Luo Chenyu steeled his heart and said, "Kill him, and be done with it!"

"Okay!" Yu Zhilin hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Turn your heads away!"

Just as he was about to draw his blade, Luo Chenyu had already acted, his door-sized blue greatsword swinging down directly.

Cut in two!

"Teacher Yu, please lend me a fire!"
