Chapter 48: S-Grade Calamity Hero: Void Annihilation Thorn Gadi

The staff members moved quickly, busily operating various instruments in a flurry, attempting to stabilize the situation at the Secret Realm Tower.

Accompanied by the sound of alarms, the noise echoed across the entire sky above Tianhua City.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Everyone was at a loss, looking toward the direction of the Secret Realm Tower in confusion.

On the streets of Tianhua City, people stopped what they were doing one after another, their faces showing expressions of terror.

"What's going on? What happened over at the Secret Realm Tower?"

"I don't know, this alarm sound makes one's heart race with panic."

"This is a Level 1 alarm; could it be that some external force is about to invade?"

"Is the Calamity Legion going to invade? How could this happen!"

In truth, as the director of the Soul Profession Office, this was the first time Liu Lanzhi had encountered such a situation.

What she had just executed was the emergency plan for the Secret Realm Tower, all of which had been practiced many times beforehand.

In the past, they practiced once every quarter, then it gradually changed to every half year, then every year.

Later on, it became a practice only once every year or two.

However, as time went on, these drills became mere formalities—neither sounding the alarm nor operating the equipment.

To put it bluntly, it was just for show, to get the job done.

Having lived in peaceful times for so long, people often become lax.

Today, the Secret Realm Tower was opened to students for the College Entrance Exam, but unexpectedly, such an incident occurred, throwing everyone into a panic.

It even caused Liu Lanzhi, as the director of the Soul Profession Office, to be terrified, and in her panic, she issued the order to sound the Level 1 alarm.

In the current situation, not only were the people of the whole city feeling panicked, but even the Tianhua City City Lord, Xing Mochuan, was shocked.

He thought this was the Soul Profession Office conducting an emergency drill.

But very quickly, he heard that this was not a drill, but an emergency that had occurred during today's tower-climbing activity.

"What? What did you say? A high school student who bound an F-Grade Soul Profession actually climbed to the top of the tower?"

"Are you kidding me? That is a Nightmare-level difficulty Secret Realm Tower, not a game for children."

Xing Mochuan widened his eyes, looking at and listening to the young female assistant's description in disbelief.

"An F-Grade high school student can climb to the top of the tower? This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!" Xing Mochuan looked completely unconvinced.

The young female assistant also had a look of disbelief: "If this news is true, then this high school student is truly extraordinary."

Xing Mochuan frowned and waved his hand dismissively: "Forget about this high school student for now. What is the situation exactly? The Soul Profession Office is being vague and hasn't explained it clearly at all!"

The female assistant immediately replied: "Currently, we only know that the Secret Realm Tower Monitoring System issued an alarm claiming there are signs of an external force invading; the specific situation is still unclear."

"Have the City Defense Army go on full alert and activate the Defense Array around the Secret Realm Tower to prevent any external force from breaking the tower and harming the people in the city!"

The female assistant agreed, turned around, and left to make arrangements.

"An F-Grade high school student?"

"External force invading?"

"These two don't seem to have any connection..."

"And the situation inside the tower is currently unknown..."

"However, if it really is an external force invading, I will have to step in personally."

Xing Mochuan frowned and pondered for a moment, then stood up abruptly and headed toward the Secret Realm Tower in a rush.

The top of the Secret Realm Tower.

At this moment, the confrontation between the Purification Stone and the Calamity Source Seed was still in a constant tug-of-war.

However, the desperate resistance of the Calamity Source Seed clearly could not last much longer.

All that could be done next was to wait.

Zhou Chu did not expect that the Calamity Source Seed before him, which had not yet fully grown, would be even harder to deal with than those Magic Source Cores.

The tearing between the two forces caused the entire Secret Realm Tower to tremble constantly.

Just then, the alarm bells inside the tower suddenly rang loudly, echoing throughout the top of the tower.

Perhaps because of the alarm, the Calamity Source Seed, which had been resisting the Purification Stone with all its might, suddenly seemed startled, and its power abruptly retracted.

It was precisely this sudden withdrawal of power by the Calamity Source Seed that allowed the Purification Stone's offensive to take advantage of the opening, beginning to desperately consume the Calamity Power within the Calamity Source Seed.

Just as the Calamity Source Seed was on its last breath, a phantom suddenly flashed through the void, sweeping across the Purification Stone like lightning.

The next second, the Purification Stone let out a crisp 'pop' sound, immediately burst open, and instantly turned into a pile of powder.

It was Gadi!

Just before the Calamity Source Seed was about to be completely consumed, Gadi stepped through the void to arrive, destroyed the Purification Stone, and resolved the crisis for the Calamity Source Seed.

The moment the Purification Stone was destroyed, Gadi's figure also appeared from the void.

It was a slender and tall figure, completely shrouded in shadows.

Only a head of short black hair was revealed, fluttering in the wind under the fluctuations of power, and a pair of light blue eyes emitted a murderous cold light.

【Void Annihilation Thorn Gadi】 S-Grade Calamity Hero

【Level:?】

【Blood Value:??】

【Soul Power Value:??】

【Attack Power:??】

【??】

【...】

……

It is actually an S-Grade Calamity Hero!

Zhou Ran's pupils suddenly constricted.

The grade is even one tier higher than Xina and Xiduo.

At the same time, under a brief capture of his gaze, only a pile of eye-blinding question marks remained.

Right now, Zhou Chu is only 10th Level.

In other words, this Gadi before him, who possesses S-Grade strength, is at least over 50th Level.

His strength is equivalent to a 5th Turn Soul Professional bound to an S-rank Soul Profession.

Or perhaps even stronger.

A 5th Turn Soul Professional seems a bit difficult to deal with.

Currently, Xina is only 10th Level, and Xiduo is merely 1st Level.

Facing Gadi, who is over 50th Level...

Zhou Chu truly does not have much confidence.

Whether to fight or not, however, suddenly put Zhou Chu in a dilemma.

"Xina? Xiduo? So it was you two who caused this?"

Upon seeing acquaintances, Gadi did not immediately retreat into the void again, but instead looked at the two people opposite him with a face full of surprise.

"Why destroy the Calamity Source Seed?"

"If you wanted this credit, I could have easily given it to you; why use this method to force me to appear?"

His voice was full of magnetism, and his tone was filled with a sense of questioning.

Hearing these words from Gadi, Zhou Chu finally understood.

To force Gadi to appear, one indeed had to use this method.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Calamity Source Seed that Zhou Chu had been unable to obtain the points for clearing the Secret Realm Tower for so long.

Only by destroying the Calamity Source Seed could the misjudgment of the Secret Realm Tower be corrected.

But before that, he had to deal with Gadi, who was guarding it.

The prerequisite was that he absolutely could not give Gadi the chance to retreat into the void.

Xiduo said that her sonic attack would interfere with Gadi, so they could try this method.

At this moment, Zhou Chu had no way out; he could only give it his all!

Thus, Zhou Chu secretly issued the battle plan to Xiduo through Spirit Whisper.

"Xiduo, in a moment you must use short-wave pulses to try your best not to let Gadi have the chance to retreat into the void. Then, use freezing to control him."

"Understood, Master!"

Seeing that Xina and Xiduo were not speaking.

The killing intent on Gadi's body grew even thicker.

Moreover, she felt that the state of these two was very different compared to before.

This made Gadi feel very uneasy in his heart.

Thus, Gadi decided right then to take action to kill the two of them, and then take them back to the Resurrection Altar in the Abyss.

Just as Gadi was preparing to activate Void Evasion, a brief shriek suddenly reached his ears.
