Chapter 106: Zhou Yao's Shock: Ye Bai Had Never Been Serious All Along!

The reason Ye Bai reacted so strongly upon hearing the name Shangguan Yijian was because of an incident that had long been buried deep within his memories!

Dantai Yanran had once investigated Ye Bai's past life.

When he first started school, his grades were not good; it was only after putting in effort several times, even dozens of times, more than the average person that he became the "child of someone else" and a top student in the eyes of his classmates.

But if there weren't some special reason, who would be willing to suffer?

In his previous life, Ye Bai loved Daoist culture deeply.

A certain Daoist priest once said, as long as a person is willing to suffer, then they will certainly have an endless amount of suffering to endure!

It was just that twelve years had passed, and even Ye Bai himself had forgotten the true reason he had desperately practiced martial arts back then...

"Let's go, it's time for us to get out!"

However, Ye Bai was not just killing.

While killing, he was also rushing toward the entrance and exit in his memory.

His luck was quite good; the direction he had been moving in all along was correct, and at this moment, he could already faintly see the massive lake located next to the space exit of the Dimensional Gate.

"We, we actually really walked out?!"

Only then did Zhou Yao discover the lake, and her entire person froze instantly.

She had thought Ye Bai just didn't want to accept reality and that was why he hadn't abandoned her; sooner or later, the youth would still agree to her sacrifice.

Never had she imagined that this little brother, whom she had initially only regarded as a tool person she could utilize, had actually brought her out from the endless Beast Tide...

However.

"No...

How is this possible?!"

When Ye Bai killed a few more Alien Beasts with a relaxed expression and officially arrived beside the lake, his expression changed abruptly.

"Ye Bai, what happened?" Zhou Yao asked, confused.

"Things have gotten serious, see for yourself."

Ye Bai turned in a different direction.

"Swish!"

In just an instant, Zhou Yao's face turned deathly pale!

Her teeth were even chattering!

"We are dreaming, right?"

Looking out, beside the lake, not only was the camp built by humans gone, but there were only dense swarms of Alien Beasts.

Looking toward the very center of the Alien Beasts, one could see these Alien Beasts acting very strangely, circling around a patch of empty ground about a dozen square meters in size.

The key was that Zhou Yao remembered this patch of empty ground very clearly.

It was precisely the location of the Dimensional Gate that connected this Different Space to Blue Star!

The Dimensional Gate had disappeared!

The only path to leave the Different Space and escape the threat of the Beast Tide was gone!

"We are going to die here, aren't we?" Zhou Yao spoke again, her voice trembling, her tone once more filled with despair.

"Pull yourself together, things aren't as bad as you think!"

However, after a brief shock, Ye Bai had already composed his emotions.

He truly hadn't expected this kind of accident to occur.

But he had never felt that the Beast Tide could pose a threat to him.

At this moment, he only felt worried about Li Qingqing.

He had confidence in Li Qingqing's strength and didn't believe that in such a short time, the Beast Tide could cause Li Qingqing to lose her life.

The young girl had mastered many, many Martial Techniques, and the instructor who specially recruited her must have given her items to save her life; the fact that Li Qingqing's name remained lit on the leaderboard also proved that his guess was correct.

Therefore, he had rushed to the entrance and exit at the first opportunity, prepared to wait for the girl here.

Yet the exit had already disappeared!

Ye Bai didn't know if Li Qingqing had been here; if she had, she might very well have gone back in to look for him because of the portal's disappearance!

"Don't comfort me anymore..." Zhou Yao remained immersed in despair.

"I'm really not comforting you. Haven't you noticed? For some reason, the Alien Beasts of the Beast Tide won't enter that empty space in the very center, so I only need to send you in, and you won't need to worry about the threat of the Alien Beasts anymore.

You are a Third-Grade Martial Artist; you won't have any problems without food for a short time. I'll help you collect some water from the lake nearby, and you can at least survive for a month!"

Ye Bai pointed to the empty space at the center and said.

"It seems, it really is like that..."

Only then did Zhou Yao's eyes light up, seeing the possibility of survival.

"No, Ye Bai, you aren't staying here with me?!" Then she discovered the crucial point, and her expression changed again.

"Yeah, I need to go inside to find Qingqing; I'm worried about her," Ye Bai said straightforwardly.

"You, you still want to go find her?" Zhou Yao's expression became strange.

"Of course, she is my girlfriend; I must ensure her safety," Ye Bai said.

"But you will be in danger..." Zhou Yao's tone carried a hint of disappointment without her realizing it.

"To tell you the truth, the Beast Tide here really can't threaten me," Ye Bai said, not noticing.

While speaking, he had already begun killing his way toward the lake.

Soon after collecting the water, Ye Bai brought Zhou Yao to the side of the empty ground and set her down.

"I, can I go with you?" Zhou Yao looked at the blood on the youth before her, but couldn't help but ask.

She didn't want to stay here alone.

Furthermore, she didn't believe that Ye Bai could successfully find Li Qingqing in the endless Beast Tide and bring her back all by himself!

Ye Bai must be pretending to be strong, right?

Covered in blood, he must be injured, and his combat power certainly cannot be at its peak anymore...

"Are you trying to hold me back again?" Ye Bai joked.

"I, my injuries are already healed..."

"If you don't believe me, look!"

Zhou Yao hurried over a few steps.

"And my Martial Arts Talent is... I can help you!"

Then she pointed a finger.

They saw the nearest Third Grade Peak Alien Beast suddenly look at Zhou Yao with heart-shaped eyes, then attack the surrounding Alien Beasts like it had gone mad.

This Human Succubus, Zhou Yao, her Martial Arts Talent could actually influence Alien Beasts!

"Not bad, but I actually have something I want you to help me with by having you stay here."

"I don't know if Qingqing has come by, so I want you to wait here; if you see her, just have her stay with you."

However, Ye Bai refused Zhou Yao again.

"And aren't you trying to get into the top five?

Staying here, you don't need to worry about being attacked by Alien Beasts, and you can easily harvest points; it's the perfect opportunity to overtake the others!"

"But you are all alone..."

"I get it, you still don't believe what I said?

I can prove to you that the Beast Tide really cannot threaten me."

Ye Bai smiled.

"Boom!"

No sooner said than done, a Blood Mist so dense it obscured his entire body suddenly rose from him!

In an instant, it set him off as if he were a demon from a sea of blood!

Before this, Ye Bai had actually never used his full strength.

Because there was no need; his Mental Power covering a hundred meters plus his Great Success Level Nine Extremes Spear Technique already allowed him to enter a realm where no one could stop him.

After the Beast Tide erupted, he needed to ensure his state remained at its absolute peak.

At this very moment, in order to make Zhou Yao feel at ease staying here to wait for Li Qingqing for him, he finally went all out for the first time!

"Puchi, puchi!"

Zhou Yao could not see Ye Bai's movements clearly.

She only saw the area within several dozen meters suddenly covered in blood color.

All the Alien Beasts, whether Third Grade or Fourth Grade, died instantly...

Then a blood-colored rainbow, like a sharp arrow piercing the darkness, fiercely plunged into the Beast Tide behind...

While corpses lay everywhere, Ye Bai's points were skyrocketing!

"So, so strong..." Zhou Yao's mouth hung open, wide enough to fit a rolling pin inside.

She had thought she already held Ye Bai in very high regard.

After all, they were both Third Grade Peak.

No matter how strong Ye Bai was, there had to be an upper limit, right?

Only now did she realize that whether it was participating in the Ranking Tournament or facing a disastrous Beast Tide, Ye Bai had never been serious from start to finish...

"Li Qingqing..."

Then her mood became a bit dejected.

She had thought Ye Bai had a good impression of her...

Most importantly, the youth was too stunning; her intuition told her that she might never encounter such a stunning youth again in her life.

"Forget it, I am a woman who walks the path of a Succubus, leaving Succubi with nowhere to go."

"Men will only affect the speed at which I become stronger!"

After a long while, she adjusted her emotions.

"I will make it into the top five of the Ranking Tournament!"

She began to try hunting Alien Beasts.

Her points were rising visibly!

Even though she said it was for the sake of the ranking that she took action,

what she was thinking in her heart was that every time she killed an Alien Beast, Ye Bai's pressure would be a little less...

No matter how strong the youth was, he was still only Third Grade Peak!

It was impossible for him to survive in the Beast Tide with only Third Grade Peak strength, let alone clear out all the Alien Beasts, right?
