Chapter 764: Old Man Hong!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mu Chaoran only smiled after hearing Gu Zhengrong's words of mockery. He didn't get angry. He only asked because he felt it was unfortunate for a talented individual like Gu Zhengrong to befall in a doomed organization. Gu Zhengrong would be his opponent since he was keen on following his organization to the bitter end.

The three of them seemed to all have the same idea. The entire forest was silent for a short while. Then in the next second, all three of them sent out a terrifying domain energy wave which were of the lightning, fire and earth element.

Faced with the two of the strongest offensive elements in the domain stage, Gu Zhengrong had no choice but to give up on using the lightning domain he had copied and returned to using what he was proficient in, the earth domain. Additionally, the defensive properties of the earth domain was the strongest. In a two versus one fight, he would die a horrible death if he was to attack carelessly.

One purple purple lightning bolt and one flaming arrow hit a mud wall. The collision between all three elements caused an explosion to occur. As the dust settled, three silhouettes flew towards three different directions. Two of them landed firmly on the ground while the third one stood his ground only after taking many steps backwards.

"Ugh!" Gu Zhengrong, who had just managed to stand firmly on the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood with a pained expression on his face.

Tang Ningyu's domain was already stronger than Gu Zhengrong's domain. It was impossible for Gu Zhengrong to not be injured after taking a hit from the combined attacks of Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran. Gu Zhengrong knew his situation very well. He didn't want to fight, but he had no choice but to fight. He wanted to run, but the two people standing in front of him would not give him a chance to run.

However, it didn't mean he didn't have a chance to live. This forest was near his headquarters so as long as he could hold on until those at the headquarters discovers his situation, they would send reinforcements to save him, then he would be able to live. After that, he would be repaying the two people who were standing before him in blood.

Gu Zhengrong desperately tried to prolong the fight, but sadly Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran weren't idiots. They quickly discovered Gu Zhengrong's plan. The two of them looked at each other and understood what they needed to do.

Purple lightning began to crackle around Tang Ningyu's body, while Mu Chaoran became a dragon made of fire, and they danced around with one another, they looked like they were combining into double coloured spiral bolt.

The two of them prepared to use their most powerful attack to try to kill their opponent right there.

Gu Zhengrong's expression became complicated, and he was quite anxious. Why hadn't reinforcements arrived? What happened to the headquarters?

At that moment, a dozen black-suited individuals appeared outside the gate and successfully killed the two guards at the gate.

The leader of the group in black looked around at his comrades and said in a serious manner, "Our comrades helped us lure those domain experts away. We have to use this chance. Once we enter the inner parts of this headquarters, we have to be ready to give up our lives if necessary."

"Yes, captain!" The men dressed in black shouted in unison. At that moment another man that was dressed in black, who stood beside the door, shouted, "I got it." The gate opened and a pitch-black darkness appeared behind it which seemingly able to swallow light.

"Go inside!" The captain lead the dozen of men in black and headed into the darkness without any hesitation. Not long after, there were sounds of gunshots being fired from within…

"Beep beep beep…" The entire headquarters's alarm had gone off! The originally quiet and orderly headquarters instantly got into a state of panic.

The boss of the headquarters heard the alarm ringing in his room and had a serious expression on his face, "What were those domain experts doing out there? How have intruders gotten into my headquarters?" He immediately ran out and went towards the surveillance room.

In the surveillance room, the video feed of the gate showed that men in black suits had already taken over the entrance. The guards there couldn't do anything, and were all defeated. The men in black got into inner areas of the headquarters, but of course, they also had a few casualties during the battle.

As for the situation outside of the gate, they were none the wiser as to ensure hackers couldn't get in from the outside, there weren't any surveillance equipment in the forest area. Now, their decision came back to bite them in the back.

"Sh*t, finish off these invaders." Did they actually think the powers that protected the headquarters were only those domain experts?

"Yes, boss!" This order was sent out from their boss which caused the entire headquarters to move out. They wanted to quickly get rid of these invaders.

At that moment, the deputy beside the headquarters' boss softly asked, "Boss, should we notify Elder Hong?"

The boss of the headquarters glared at him and said, "You think we should ask Elder Hong for such a small problem?"

The deputy immediately nodded and didn't dare to say another word?

"Right, where's Young Master Rong?"

"He's still in the forest and hasn't notified us…" The deputy immediately answered.

The boss frowned. He was quite worried about the fact there wasn't any information coming from Gu Zhengrong.

Right at that moment, the boss's expression suddenly changed. He immediately ran out of the surveillance room. He jumped around and reached the square of the headquarters and looked at the gate of the headquarters with a serious expression.

The deputy stumbled out of the surveillance room and ran to the square with tired and audible pants. After seeing his boss just standing there and gazing at the gate, he shouted in a confused tone, "Boss, what's wrong?"

"Elder Hong has moved out," the boss said that and jumped once again. He then reached the gate of the headquarters. The deputy couldn't help but stumble downwards and follow in his boss's footsteps…

Around the entrance of the headquarters, a dozen men in black had already been grounded to dust by a strong domain. There were only pools of blood everywhere. If it wasn't for the fact that he had seen the invaders with his own eyes, he might have even thought that the video feed he saw earlier was fake.

"Ah, they're all dead," the deputy saw a pool of blood and shouted excitedly.

"If Elder Hong was to make a move, why would he leave any of them alive?" The boss knew very well how terrifying Elder Hong could be. It was just that Elder Hong had made a move not because there were invaders, otherwise he wouldn't leave the headquarters. There was only one possibility that could make Elder Hong leave the headquarters and go somewhere. That was if Young Master Rong was in danger.

"It seems that we can't keep this headquarters anymore." If even Young Master Rong was in danger, that meant the investigators the Federation sent were not standard soldiers and were real experts. The reason the Federation escalated it was possibly because they had strong evidence in their hands. Even if things were to get hairy, they weren't afraid of public outbursts.

"We've hardly operated for a few years…" The Boss felt that it was unfortunate. He now hoped that Elder Hong could take out the experts sent by the military, scaring the military to not dare to send anymore of their forces out. Then, they would be able to easily relocate their headquarters to a different location.

Inside the forest, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran finally completed the preparations of their final move. They waved their hands almost simultaneously.

A lighting dragon and fire dragon flew out from Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran. The dragons opened their mouths and ruthlessly waited for Gu Zhengrong's head.

At Gu Zhengrong's position, the earth suddenly rose up and wrapped around his body, creating a sand coffin.

"Bomb! Bomb!" The continuous collision between the two large dragons and the sand coffin created deafening sounds. When the two dragons noticed that they weren't breaking through the sand coffin, they raised their heads and ruthlessly collided with it once again.

"Boom!""Boom!"

"Boom!""Boom!"

Every time they collided, the two dragons grew in size. Behind them, their masters, had pale expression on their faces. It seems the powerful attack made them deplete their domain's energy reserves.

"Break through!" Mu Chaoran suddenly shouted. As though it had felt its master's willpower and spiritual pressure, the large fire dragon lifted its head and ruthlessly collided with the sand coffin once again.

Although Tang Ningyu didn't make a sound, his lightning dragon also crashed into the sand coffin in a similar manner.

The two large dragons crashed into the sand coffin almost simultaneously. "Bang!" A terrifying explosion shook the entire forest area. In the center of the explosion, countless dust particles filled the air. In the end, Gu Zhengrong's real body was exposed.

The energy in the lightning and fire dragons were not completely depleted yet. They gathered up once again and shot towards Gu Zhengrong…

"Ah!" After a cry of agony, the two dragons went straight through Gu Zhengrong's body after his defenses were down. The two dragons, that finally depleted their energy, disappeared into the air without a trace.

Gu Zhengrong who stood at that location began to spit out vast amounts of blood. His eyes were wide open. In the end, he still get any reinforcements…

Suddenly, the body parts below Gu Zhengrong's chest area turned to dust. Half of his torso and his head fell to the ground. Faced with the burns from the fire element and the destructive force of the lightning element, Gu Zhengrong was already lucky that he still had his head intact.

Gu Zhengrong, who fell to the ground, was still not willing to close his eyes as if he was unwilling to die.

Seeing this, Mu Chaoran couldn't help but sigh, "This guy isn't bad and has good talent… Just unfortunate." If back then, he wasn't taken in by that organization, Gu Zhengrong would probably have been one of their team members and not their enemy.

"That's fate," Tang Ningyu said calmly.

Right as Mu Chaoran was about to say something, Tang Ningyu's expression suddenly changed, and he carried Mu Chaoran as he ran wildly towards the exit of the forest area.

Ling Lan, who had been watching the fight the entire time, also had a small change in her expression. She moved slightly and left the place she was hiding in. It was just that when she left, she took a look at Gu Zhengrong's head that was left on the ground and was somewhat doubtful of it.

Right as Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran left the scene, the place where they stood had a person appearing. That person had a head full of white hair with an older appearance similar to an elder who had already experienced life to its fullest.

On the ground, Gu Zhengrong's head that was left on the ground suddenly spoke, "Elder Hong, if you came any later, then I would really be dead."

"Don't worry, Young Master Rong. As long as your mind isn't destroyed, then you're immortal." Elder Hong held up Gu Zhengrong's head and snapped his fingers. Then, a person came down from the sky.

"Take Young Master Rong to the laboratory and give him a new body," Elder Hong ordered.

"Yes, Elder Hong!" The person who came to them carefully took Gu Zhengrong's head from Elder Hong.

"Elder Hong, are you going to chase those two?" Asked Gu Zhengrong.

"Of course, since they dare to wound Young Master Rong, then they must pay accordingly." Elder Hong's face had a face full of killing intent.

"Alright, but keep them alive. I want to kill them myself." Gu Zhengrong had savage look on his face. Although he could change his body, that was still his own body. It was destroyed just like that. How could he not hate them?

Chapter 765: A Painting!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Don't worry, Young Master Rong." Elder Hong smiled and waved his hand. He signaled his subordinate to bring Young Master Rong's head back to the base quickly. Although Young Master Rong was able to keep his mindscape alive for some time due to a secret magic art, there was still a time limit to it. The forest was full of danger, so the sooner they sent it back, the sooner he would feel at ease. Then, he could focus all of his attention on catching those two brats.

The subordinate received Elder Hong's order and immediately rushed back to the headquarters with Gu Zhengrong's head. Elder Hong allowed his subordinate to sent the head back because he was confident that no one was able to injure Young Master Rong when he, Elder Hong, the God of this forest, was here.

As he watched his subordinate safely leaving his domain, he then turned and looked at the direction where Tang Ningyu and Mu Shaoyu went. In the next second, he disappeared.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were escaping furiously. Just as they were about to reach the exit of the forest, something changed. The trees around them suddenly exponentially grew taller and started moving frantically around them. Then, the trees attacked the two of them with their whip-like branches without any warning.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran knew that they couldn't evade the branches, because once they do, more and more branches would be flying towards them, especially in a forest with an unimaginable number of trees, so they released their lightning bolts and fire dragon simultaneously onto the trees.

It's common sense that trees were afraid of lightning and fire as they were quite flammable. However, there seemed to be something protecting these huge trees from catching on fire They were able to bounce the lightning bolts and flames away from their trunks, and even their leaves were protected. Soon, they were wantonly chasing the two people that wanted to run past them, back into the forest.

Suddenly, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were sent flying up in the air while vomiting a mouthful of blood before slamming onto the ground heavily. A single strike was enough to severely injure them. The other party must be a domain realm master who had a title. Unexpectedly, the headquarters actually had such a powerful domain expert guarding it.

Elder Hong appeared in front of them. He looked at them and asked, "Are you the brats who hurt Young Master Rong?"

"Young Master Rong? Hurt?" Tang Ningyu and Mu Shaoyu exchanged glances with one another. They felt that this person was referring to Gu Zhengrong but wasn't he supposed to be dead? Is he not dead yet and was just injured? The two of them were uncertain.

"Since the two of you destroyed Young Master Rong's body, you must pay the price…" Elder Hong reached out his hands, making him seem like a Grim Reaper who had come to casually reap some lives, but Tang Ningyu and Mu Shaoyu wouldn't give up their lives so easily. A lightning shield and a fire wall appeared in front of them.

"Fire and lightning… you two are the ones who destroyed Young Master Rong's body. Well then, you will repay with your bodies then." Elder Hong was elated. He was worried that there were no suitable bodies for Young Master Rong back at the base. Now, there were two high-quality bodies lying in front of him.

"In your dreams!" Tang Ningyu wiped the blood off his mouth. He stood up slowly. He was certain that Young Master Rong was Gu Zhengrong. The organization was probably able to keep someone alive even when the person's body was destroyed. They just had to change body for the person who 'died'. This was not a normal medical skill. Tang Ningyu came from the Flying Dragon Special Forces, so he knew some secret documents which recorded the forbidden things done by humans, human experiments, etc.

Mu Chaoran stood up too. He wiped his blood off his mouth and laughed softly. "I didn't know that I will meet such opponents in a disguise mission. Interesting." He lowered his voice and whispered to Tang Ningyu, "Leave. I will take care of this."

"If you stay back, you will be as good as dead." Tang Ningyu knew what he wanted to do. This opponent in front of them couldn't be compared to the fake domain realm masters they had faced just now.

"Are we able to leave if you stay behind as well?" Mu Chaoran mocked him.

"It might not work but there is at least some hope." Tang Ningyu raised his right hand, releasing a ferocious lightning dragon into the air. I, Tang Ningyu, will not abandon my brother-in-arms to survive.

"If you don't want to run, I will do it." Mu Chaoran was furious.

"Sure." Tang Ningyu replied calmly, "That is what I wish for." If he stayed back and stopped their opponent, Mu Chaoran would have a higher chance of escaping. This was in his opinion the best plan.

Mu Chaoran had complex feelings towards Tang Ningyu. Tang Ningyu might not know who he was but he knew who Tang Ningyu was. He was the person who was given up by the Flying Dragon Special Forces in favor of Tang Ningyu.

Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu were of the same age. The two of them were born in two unrelated planets, Planet Guandong and Planet Wangjiao. However, their paths started colliding when they were eight years old.

That year, their innate talents were both awakened. They were much faster than most people and their elements were both powerful offensive elements.

The Flying Dragon Special Forces had been observing all the children in the Federation so they instantly got a hold of this news. Hence, Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu got picked up by the Federation at the same time. The Flying Dragon Special Forces needed a new leader for the new generation, and over time Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu became the forefronts of the number of potential candidates for this position.

After a few rounds of intensive fights, Tang Ningyu managed to enter the Flying Dragon Special Forces while Mu Chaoran failed and was sent to another place. Everyone only knew of the base camp of the Flying Dragon Special Forces. They didn't know that the Flying Dragon Special Forces actually had two base camps. The other one was the shadow camp, which no one knew of its existence.

The shadow camp was filled with a bunch of outstanding talents too, but they were just a little worse than the members who managed to enter the Flying Dragon Special Forces. Hence, they were brought there. Mu Chaoran came there to be groomed to be Tang Ningyu's shadow.

A shadow was not someone who had to remain hidden in the dark. He was in the same position as Tang Ningyu in the shadow camp. The two of them were competitors. However, Tang Ningyu didn't know of his existence. If he overtook Tang Ningyu in terms of capabilities, he would replace Tang Ningyu and join the Flying Dragon Special Forces in his stead.

Of course, the possibility of that happening was very low. All the resources Tang Ningyu received were a tier higher than him. Furthermore, Tang Ningyu's potential was greater than his from the very beginning. Unless he gave up on himself, it would be impossible for Mu Chaoran to surpass him.

Since he and many others in the shadow camp could compete with the soldiers in the Flying Dragon Special Forces, why did Flying Dragon Special Forces create the shadow camp and groom them there and not in just one base camp?

It was because they were backups. What would happen if the talents in the Flying Dragon Special Forces got killed in a mission? It would be a huge blow to the Federation. Hence, shadow members like them would replace the position of the people who had died and become the new leaders of Flying Dragon Special Forces.

By right, his mission was to watch from the side and cover-up for Tang Ningyu in case he was in danger. Additionally, he was not supposed to help him. However, he couldn't stop himself from helping him in the end and now, both of them were in danger.

Mu Chaoran suddenly wanted to laugh. If he and Tang Ningyu both died here, how would the people in the Flying Dragon Special Forces react? The two leaders that they groomed for almost 20 years died at the same time…

Mu Chaoran looked at Tang Ningyu intently. If they didn't die in this mission, he would obediently stay as Tang Ningyu's shadow! Mu Chaoran made a decision. A fire dragon appeared beside him, and it started twirling in the air.

Elder Hong smiled sarcastically. Multiple branches appeared behind him and flew towards the two young men.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran waved their hand. The two dragons beside them rushed forward. However, the difference in power was too vast. Their opponent broke their offense easily. The branches easily pierce through into the fire wall and lightning shield protecting them.

Kacah! Kacah! The fire wall and lightning shield shattered into pieces. Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran watched helplessly as the thick branches moved closer to them. They would not be able to escape this time.

Bang! A huge collision occurred.

An enormous ice mountain suddenly appeared in front of them. The tree branches slammed into the ice mountain, flinging some ice shards into the air. Some of it hit Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu's faces. The piercing cold from those small pieces of ice shard caused them to shiver.

Elder Hong's expression changed. He waved his hand and all the branches retracted. The entire forest resumed its calmness. The ice mountain exuded a dangerous cold air that formed an intimidating mist in the forest.

An ice element domain realm master!

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran looked at each other. They couldn't contain their excitement. They were saved. The military actually sent a domain realm master for this mission. The power this person showed proved that he must be someone with a title.

"Who is it?" Elder Hong shouted angrily.

Silence. Besides the three of them, there seemed to be no one in the forest.

"Damn it!" Elder Hong was frustrated when he couldn't find the other party. His white hair flew up. He placed his palms together and shouted, "Ultimate Blockade!"

Branches and leaves started growing out of the ground and manifesting in the sky. They formed two huge nets, one below and one above. The two nets moved closer to one another, attempting to capture anyone inside.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran got nervous again. This earth element domain realm master had shown the power of a formidable warrior. He might be even stronger than a titled domain realm master.

"Ice Blockade!" A cold voice rang through the forest.

The furiously expanding branches instantly got frozen. They stopped moving. Within a second, the green world had turned into an ice cold world. Only ice could be seen.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran. The person's back was facing them. He was wearing a black windbreaker, and the windbreaker was swaying slowly in the freezing cold wind.

The person had such a cold force of presence. When he stood in this ice world, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran felt that it was so picturesque as if they were looking at a painting of a ruler in an ice cold world.

Chapter 766: Throw Them Out!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Who are you?" Elder Hong frowned. He could feel continuous wafts of cold air coming from this person. Additionally, his gaze was icy that even he didn't dare to look straight at it rashly.

The powerful force of presence couldn't conceal the strong vitality exuding out of the person in front of him. It was obvious that this domain realm master was at his prime age. He might be around 40 years old or maybe even younger. Around 30 years old?

Elder Hong didn't even have the thought that this person could be even younger. There was a document in the Federation stating that someone from the Federation managed to achieve the domain stage at 25 years old, but the power the person showed just now proved that he was not someone who had just achieved the domain stage.

Such a powerful and destructive technique could only be used by someone who had a full grasp of the domain stage. Furthermore, this person must have many years of experience on the battlefield to have created such a technique. He must at the tip of the pyramid of domain realm masters, a titled domain realm formidable warrior.

Becoming a titled domain realm formidable warrior was the goal of every domain realm master. To achieve this goal, a domain realm master must create his or her own powerful technique. The strength of each titled domain realm formidable warrior was different but that was just within realm of titled domain realm formidable warriors. No matter how weak a titled domain realm formidable warrior was, he could easily defeat an average domain realm master. The difference in power was not something that could be covered with innate talent.

Elder Hong asked this question because he couldn't think of anyone that fit the description of the physical characteristics of the person in front of him. He recalled all the ice element domain realm masters but all their ages were different than the age he had concluded the person in front of him was.

Did a titled domain realm formidable warrior pass by and coincidentally felt his domain energy? Did he come because he wanted to have a fight with him? If that was the case, Elder Hong wanted to vomit blood.

The person didn't reply to Elder Hong. He just looked at Elder Hong directly and said two words coldly, "Move aside!"

Elder Hong didn't expect the other party to reject him directly. His face turned red in anger. His white hair stood up as he shouted, "How dare you!"

As he shouted, the branches that were frozen broke free from the ice and attacked the person. He wanted to pierce multiple holes in this person to vent his anger.

The sound of branches striking something could be heard. Ice crumbs flew everywhere, blocking Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran's vision. They didn't know what was happening, but they were afraid at the fact that their savior could be injured by the old man.

Finally, the attack stopped. The ice crumbs dispersed. The entire ground was filled with thick branches stabbed into it. Actually, the ground couldn't even be seen anymore. The man in a black windbreaker stood elegantly on a tree branch. His windbreaker swayed slowly. He was looking calmly at Elder Hong.

Elder Hong felt the gaze of the two young men. He turned suddenly and waved his hand. Numerous branches flew towards them viciously. Even if someone stepped in, he didn't plan to let the two young men off.

The man in a black windbreaker noticed this. He lifted his right hand immediately and an ice wall was erected in front of Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu, blocking Elder Hong's attack successfully.

However, an ice wall was not as sturdy as an ice mountain. After receiving the attack, it shattered into ice cubes and was scattered all over the forest.

Elder Hong saw this person constantly interfering with him and finally lost his patience. He gave up the thought of persuading the person to leave. He placed his hands together. The branches around Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran moved towards them. If this person wanted to stop him, let him do it. Let's see who uses up their energy first.

Elder Hong was confident that he would be the last man standing as the environment was really favorable for him. There were ample wood elements in the forest, so he didn't need to use too much of his domain energy. Compared to him, his opponent had already used up all the water elements around them. If he continued fighting, the ice element domain energy he needed to churn out was definitely much more than him.

The attacks from all four corners couldn't be stopped by one or two ice walls. Ling Lan narrowed her eyes. She placed her hands together, and four walls were formed around Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran. At the same time, four snowflakes appeared in mid-air. Each of them landed on top of the four walls, it then started to emanate a chilling breeze, freezing together everything part of the walls forming a huge ice cube. Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were also encased in the giant ice cube, protecting them from harm.

"Little White, throw them out." The 'man' in a black windbreaker was Ling Lan. She was also irritated by Elder Hong's continuous attacks. She knew what his intention was. He wanted to expend her energy. She wasn't afraid of this but being on the passive end made her feel frustrated. Hence, Ling Lan used her spiritual power to ask Little White, who was doing something somewhere in the forest, to throw Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran out as these two being here were just a burden to her.

When Little White heard it's master's order, it quickly rushed over while having no time to get rid of the blade of grass that was stuck in between his teeth.

It didn't want to be hit by its master just because it was late!

Its body started expanding. Soon, it became the size of a small mountain. All the trees around it cracked when it ran passed them. The tentacles on its body flailed wildly in the air. It looked as though a UFO was attacking Planet Azure.

Little White used its ten thickest tentacles to attack the branches that were pounding the giant ice cube.

Tang Ningyu, who had been watching Ling Lan and Elder Hong's battle, felt his heart pounding furiously. A strong sense of danger was felt and the source of that danger was behind him. He turned around, and a frightening massive creature with tentacles appeared in front of his eyes. In the next second, he could feel his eyeballs rolling back.

Tang Ningyu's fear affected Mu Chaoran too. He turned around in a flabbergasted manner when he saw ten tentacles coming down on them. It made him so scared that he felt he would be smashed into a pile of meat by the tentacles.

"Bang, bang, bang…" The tentacles slammed the branches into dust. These branches were created by Elder Hong using the wood element from the thick trees of the forest, but it was not as hard as Little White's tentacles.

Chapter 767: A Bugged Technique!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Little White used six of its tentacles to hit the branches. The remaining four tentacles grabbed ahold of the giant ice cube and pulled it up from the ground.

The giant ice cube was lifted up entirely. What is this so heavy? Little White used a lot of energy before it could lift it up. After its master sneaked into the headquarters, it went around the forest eating furiously. The energy it was using now would need to be replenished with a lot of eating.

Speaking of eating, sob, it finally could eat! The forest was full of delicious savage beasts. Many got them had been eaten by it already. If its master didn't order it that it couldn't finish all the beasts, it would have eaten everything.

Little White cried. It was the right decision to follow master. He could finally eat meat!

It used all the energy it had and hurled the giant ice cube towards the direction of the academy. Then, it dusted off its tentacles and changed back to its mini ball form. It hopped and jumped back to its forest pantry and continued eating its grass. As for whether the giant ice cube would smash a hole in any of the buildings in the academy… it has nothing to do with it, Little White thought irresponsibly.

Yes, it should eat more vegetables now. It just ate too much meat and now as of the result of that, it had a very bad case of indigestion. It must be because it hadn't eaten meat for a thousand years so its digestive system must have degraded. Little White was sad by its upset stomach. It must eat more vegetables so that its digestive system would get healthier. That way, it would not get indigestion again when it would eat a lot of meat in the future.

Little White felt the importance of this task. It started chewing on the tiny blade of grass happily.

Sob. The world outside its lake is so much more beautiful. Even this tiny blade of grass tastes so good. Little White raised its head and cried with joy. It was so touched. With this, it was sure that following its master was the best decision it made in its life.

"Ah…" When he saw the huge creature with tentacles throwing him out, Tang Ningyu, who was normally calm and compose, and Mu Chaoran, who always seemed indifferent about anything, screamed in fear.

Bang! The giant ice cube slammed into a certain school building, forming a huge hole in the roof of this six-level building. Due to everyone in school being preoccupied with Li Lanfeng's sermon in the great hall, no one was in the building. However, the strong collision still attracted the attention of some teachers and students nearby.

The giant ice cube was very sturdy, even after smashing into a building, it didn't even chip a little. Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran inside were dizzy from the throw but they weren't injured.

"How are we supposed to get out?" Tang Ningyu gave a gloomy look. He didn't want the teachers and students of the Azure Central Scout Academy to look at him like an animal in a zoo. If they were to find out his true identity, he would not have the face to return to the Flying Dragon Special Forces and be their leader anymore.

Mu Chaoran aimed his hand at the ice to try to use his fire element to melt the giant ice cube, but not the slightest puff of fire could be seen. There was no element present in the giant ice cube other than the dominating ice element. This showed how powerful that domain realm master was. Mu Chaoran tried to punch the ice wall, but no cracks were formed.

Mu Chaoran shrugged, expressing that he had no idea. Time passed slowly, then they heard murmurs outside. To prevent exposing any danger to the students, the teachers didn't allow them to get close to the giant ice cube. After three minutes of strange murmurs, they heard some people coming up the stairs to investigate the hole in the roof. Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu's faces turned dark. They were going to be discovered soon. They knew that they would definitely embarrass themselves today.

They also had to explain why they were locked up in a giant ice cube too. Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran felt their head hurting, they didn't want to be discovered…

The giant ice cube seemed to have heard their thoughts. It suddenly started cracking, revealing a wide enough opening for them to escape from embarrassment. Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were elated, and they disappeared from the giant ice cube instantly. The giant ice pieces crumbled slowly and disappeared into the air. No signs of ice were left behind, only the slight chilliness in the air could be felt.

In the end, no one knew what damaged the building's roof, and it became one of the mysteries of Azure Central Scout Academy.

Little White's appearance not only scared Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran, Elder Hong got a shock too. He didn't know where this massive creature came from. This caused him to slow down his attacks. That was why Little White was able to hurl the giant ice cube away.

But Little White only appeared for an instant. After it completed its mission, it turned back in its mini ball form and hid among the trees and bushes. Without the uprooted trees and the disturbed terrain caused by Little White, Elder Hong might have thought that he was hallucinating.

Elder Hong was an experienced titled domain realm formidable warrior, so he vividly remembered how the creature threw the giant ice cube away and felt that it probably had to do with the two people inside the giant ice cube or the domain realm master in front of him.

He wanted to ask Ling Lan but she had already started attacking him without giving him any time to ask. Without the two burdens, she could fight freely now.

During the exchange of blow just now, Ling Lan discovered that Elder Hong was not just a normal titled domain realm formidable warrior. Maybe… she could try something new today. Ever since she learned that skill, she didn't dare to use it on anyone yet.

You would only know the power and usefulness of some techniques after you use them in a real battle. She hoped that her opponent would not disappoint her.

Ling Lan released all her energy and created a mini ice world. She enclosed Elder Hong as well as the trees around them in her world. Elder Hong retaliated by allowing the plants around him to grow furiously, attempting to break through the ice world.

This was a battle between life and death. The ice world killed all signs of life. The trees and plants wanted to use their undying spirit to break the ice world.

This clash was a battle between their domains. The stronger person would last longer.

After their domains furiously contending with each other for a few minutes, cracks started forming in the ice world. At last, a sapling broke through the Ice Blockade. The sounds of more cracking could be heard. The sound got louder and louder. The ice world was broken apart by numerous saplings and plants.

In the battle of life and death, the power of life was stronger. Ice Blockade lost.

It was hard to win against the wood element in a forest as there was almost an infinite source of it. Ling Lan suddenly took a step back. A wooden spike had appeared at the place she was just standing at. If Ling Lan didn't move quickly just now, she would have been injured by it.

She didn't manage to seal her opponent because there was a lack of water element in the forest. Her opponent managed to manipulate his element very well. Ling Lan felt enlightened. She looked at Elder Hong who was standing on a broken trunk.

"You are indeed a titled domain realm formidable warrior!" Only people of this rank were able to change their bodies into their respective elements. This kind of domain realm masters was frightening. You never know when they would attack you and there were also no warnings or signs for you to prepare yourself.

The moment he finished speaking, he merged with the broken trunk. Ling Lan didn't know where he could be as there was wood all around her.

The entire forest was covered in mist, so it was hard for Elder Hong to find Ling Lan too. This was a battle of patience, attentiveness, courage, and cautiousness…

The entire forest was dead silent. It seemed as though there wasn't a tense battle occurring there. 10 seconds had passed… 20 seconds had passed… one minute had passed… three minutes had passed. Just when it looked as though the silence was going to continue longer, a hand shoot out from a tree and grabbed something in the thick mist.

Ling Lan's right arm was grabbed by Elder Hong.

"You're dead!" Elder Hong scoffed. "Fusion!"

Ling Lan's right arm suddenly started turning into wood. The wood was slowly spreading to other parts of her body. Ling Lan was lifted out of the mist, revealing the entire right side of her body which had already turned into wood. Elder Hong felt that he was going to win so he revealed his true form, showing a delighted smile on his face as he enjoyed his enemy dying in a slow and painful manner.

"Actually, you shouldn't grab a water element domain realm master." Ling Lan's force of presence suddenly changed. The coldness around her disappeared, turning the surroundings warm, and an innocent face with a smile was revealed. Elder Hong was flabbergasted. "You!"

The Little Brother Shaoyun who Young Master Rong wanted to invite into the organization was actually a titled domain realm formidable warrior!

The water elements in the air slowly landed on the side of the body that was turned into wood, changing her body back to its normal state.

"How is that possible!" Elder Hong was dumbfounded. His strongest technique, Fusion, got broken just like that.

"You even revealed your true form. What a stupid decision." Ling Lan sighed as she flicked her fingers, and Elder Hong exploded, turning into a pool of blood. He didn't know how he died.

Never use your true form to touch a water element domain realm formidable warriors.

Ling Lan didn't know if this ability was unique to her or could all water element domain realm formidable warriors be able to use this technique as long as they understood how to use it? This must be a bug! If Ling Lan were to meet an opponent with this exact technique and was caught by it by surprise, she wouldn't be able to retaliate too.

However, if her opponent didn't grab her with his real hand, this battle might not have ended this way.

Ling Lan's force of presence changed again. The air around her turned cold. She waved her hand at the pool of blood, freezing it. Then, she snapped her fingers. The frozen blood turned into fine dust and dispersed into the air. Only the faint scent of blood was left. It too soon disappeared and was replaced by the fresh air of the forest.

After she dusted off the dust in her hands, Ling Lan quickly returned back to her room.

"I've already locked them up for some time. It's probably about time to release them." Ling Lan snapped her fingers and a giant ice cube far away unsealed itself.

Chapter 768: Who Taught Him Bad Things?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When they were almost to their apartment, the door of their apartment opened, revealing Ling Lan who opened the door excitedly. She widened her eyes in shock as she looked at the two of them. "You… why are you two like that?"

"He offended me just now so we fought." Mu Chaoran was slightly pale in the face. He looked at similarly pale-faced Tang Ningyu while bearing with all the pain in his body, and forced a smile out.

Ling Lan was puzzled. She didn't seem to understand why they needed to fight when they offended each other. Then, she saw Leng Hanfeng not wearing his uniform, and was only wearing a T-shirt. "Did your uniform disappear during the fight?"

"It was torn so I threw it away," Leng Hanfeng said casually.

Ling Lan nodded. She looked as though she believed what they said. All the while thinking in the head, these people sure have a lot of money to waste.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Shaoyu felt relief when they saw how easy it was to fool to Ling Lan. Fortunately, their Little Brother Shaoyun was an innocent person, so he didn't doubt their wounds as these wounds could not be explained by a fight.

The two of them wanted to go back to their rooms to dress their wounds. Additionally, they needed to report their findings. While they were thinking of reasons to excuse themselves, Ling Lan muttered to herself, "Brother Gu forgot about me the moment he got a girlfriend. It has been a while since he left."

Tang Ningyu looked at Ling Lan's sad face. He didn't know how to explain to him. Although Gu Zhengrong was not dead, he would not be back soon.

Furthermore, his mission was almost about to end. He would have to leave this school with Mu Shaoyu soon. Tang Ningyu could almost imagine how Pei Shaoyun would react when he found out that he was tricked. For some reason, Tang Ningyu felt a stabbing pain in his heart. He only met this young man for a short while but he had already entered his heart.

If Little Brother Shaoyun entered the military in the future, he would take care of him properly. He might not be able to let him climb high up in ranks but he could ensure that he would have a smooth journey ahead of him. This was enough to repay their friendship.

Thinking about this, Tang Ningyu felt that he shouldn't give Pei Shaoyun any false hope. He said, "Gu Zhengrong will not come back today."

Ling Lan looked at him in surprise. She asked curiously, "Why not?"

Tang Ningyu turned to Mu Chaoran decisively. "Ask Shaoran, he was the one who told me." He was good at finding scapegoats.

Mu Chaoran almost kneeled down. This bastard!

Ling Lan controlled her urge to laugh. She wore a look of anticipation on her face. Mu Chaoran couldn't bear to ignore her. He gave Tang Ningyu a 'just you wait' sign with his hands and smiled. "Shaoyun, mature men would do something when they get bored. Your Brother Gu did that something and doesn't have the energy to come back now." Would Shaoyun understand what they were saying?

Ling Lan gave them a look of contempt when she heard his answer. "Is he having a one-night stand? Why did you have to explain it so complicatedly?" Then, she returned to her room and banged the door shut.

Mu Chaoran pointed at the door with his mouth agape. Then, he pointed at himself. "I was too complicated?"

Tang Ningyu nodded seriously. "Yes."

"Tsk, how would I know that Little Brother Shaoyun knew about one-night stand…" He raised his eyebrows. "Who taught him those kinds of bad things?"

Tang Ningyu shook his head firmly. He looked puzzled. "Did you say anything strange to him?"

"Do I look stupid?" Mu Shaoyu glared at Tang Ningyu. Why would he teach his cute and innocent Little Brother Shaoyun such things?

"Gu Zhengrong!" The two of them thought about this person simultaneously. They immediately gritted their teeth. They were too soft on him just now. They should have killed him. If this person dared to appear in front of them again, they would definitely kill him. How dare he teach their Little Brother Shaoyun bad things!

Gu Zhengrong, who was waiting on the operation table for a new body, sneezed. The doctor beside him asked nervously, "Young Master Rong, how are you feeling?" If anything happened to Young Master Rong, everyone in the headquarters would die a horrible death!

"I'm fine. Continue to prepare for the surgery." Gu Zhengrong felt that there was nothing wrong with him. He frowned and gave his order.

After some time, he started to feel uneasy. He asked, "Is Elder Hong back yet?"

"Not yet, Young Master Rong."

Gu Zhengrong got even more uneasy. With Elder Hong's ability, he should be able to defeat Leng Hanfeng and Meng Shaoran within a few seconds. Why wasn't he back yet? The people sent to deal with them this time were stronger than expected. Did the Federation prepare a titled domain realm formidable warrior? Or did they prepare someone even stronger, an imperial level domain expert?

Gu Zhengrong felt a chill down his spine. If that really did happen, he needed to get his new body as soon as possible. If not, he might die here. Gu Zhengrong immediately gave his order. "We will not wait for Elder Hong. Get the material with the greatest potential here." He wanted to wait for Elder Hong to come back because he wanted Leng Hanfeng's body. However, from the looks of it, he had no time to wait.

"But…" The doctor wanted to say something but Gu Zhengrong interrupted him fiercely. "No buts. Start the operation immediately!"

The doctor instantly replied, "Yes, I'll prepare for the operation immediately."

Very soon, a body was pushed into the room. After the doctor inspected it, he said with satisfaction, "This body is not bad. Young Master Rong, what do you think?"

Gu Zhengrong lifted the sheet covering the face of the body, and a familiar face was revealed. It was Xiao Yiqiu!

After Ling Lan sneaked into the base, Xiao Yiqiu was prepared to leave the forest to get some help. However, he was unlucky. Just as he was about to leave, another guard patrolling the area found him, so he didn't manage to escape the fate of being caught.

Xiao Yiqiu was unconscious after he was given some tranquilizers. What he didn't know was that this would be the final moment of his life.

"It's him? Haha, good." Gu Zhengrong thought that his mission to infiltrate the military had failed. But, it didn't look that way now.

"Let's use him." With one sentence, Gu Zhengrong had sealed Xiao Yiqiu's fate.

Soon, the operation started.

Su Pei rushed all the way back to the school. He tried contacting Xiao Yiqiu along the way but failed. Su Pei knew that Xiao Yiqiu was in danger. He only hoped that he was caught and not dead.

Su Pei knew that he didn't have any time to waste. He rushed to the great hall where Li Lanfeng was giving a lecture. The hall was crowded with people who he could ask help from, but Su Pei didn't trust anyone from the school now. Hence, he didn't create a huge commotion. He prepared to find a chance to get close to Li Lanfeng. Then, he would tell him what had happened in the forest.

Chapter 769: Final Attack!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Pei wrote a message and secretly passed it to the youth who came with Li Lanfeng. The youth looked at the message, and his expression immediately changed. He went onto the stage and whispered something to Li Lanfeng. Then, he left.

Li Lanfeng continued smiling on stage, as if unaffected by the message. "Do you guys mind if I go and have some water? I have been speaking for quite a while now."

"No problem!" The scouts below shouted simultaneously.

Li Lanfeng's lecture was very interesting. Sometimes, he would talk about the funny things that happened at the First Men's Military Academy and the 23rd division. All the scouts listened to him happily. In the past, Li Lanfeng was just a legend of the Azure Central Scout Academy. He was someone their teachers always asked them to look up too. Now, Li Lanfeng became a well-respected senior in the eyes of many as he was no longer someone who only existed in their imagination. Many scouts had made a decision that day. No matter which academy they went to in the future, they would apply to the 23rd division after they had graduated. They wanted to be in the same division as Li Lanfeng.

Also, there was Ling Xiao, the ultimate idol of the military. These two people made the scouts in the Azure Central Scout Academy even more curious about the 23rd division.

The moment Li Lanfeng walked down the stage, he asked Li Shiyu to bring Su Pei to the side entrance of the stage situated outside the great hall.

Su Pei quickly told Li Lanfeng what had happened in the forest. Li Lanfeng wasn't surprised as he was already informed by Ling Lan. He lowered his voice and replied, "Don't worry, I'll contact my division immediately and ask them to send a rescue team."

Su Pei nodded. He started to feel less worried. He knew that it was not possible to save Xiao Yiqiu with just themselves. They would not be able to win against frightening domain realm masters.

Li Lanfeng asked Su Pei to return to the great hall and wait for news. Then, he contacted the headquarters of the 23rd division and told them what had happened. After he finished explaining everything, he went into a daze. Li Shiyu didn't want to talk to his cousin but he didn't like the helpless expression on his face too. He thought for a while and finally said, "What happened?"

"I can only report and not participate when I meet such a situation. I'm useless." Li Lanfeng lowered his head and clenched his fist tightly. Why couldn't he catch up with him? He could only watch him fight alone.

Li Shiyu went silent for a few seconds. He said, "Be stronger then!" Their Boss's opponents were getting stronger but, they could only stand at the side and watch him. This sense of helplessness made them uncomfortable.

"You will help me, right?" Li Lanfeng looked at Li Shiyu hopefully.

Li Shiyu turned and replied coldly, "I'm not helping you. I just can't bear to see our regiment commander standing alone."

Li Lanfeng smiled. His younger brother replied harshly but he still had a soft heart. Li Lanfeng was grateful. "Thank you, Shiyu."

Li Shiyu got a little furious. "I said I'm not helping because of you. It's for our regiment commander. Why are you thanking me?" He angrily returned to the great hall. He had not forgiven his eldest cousin brother yet. A 'thank you' was not enough to buy him over.

Boom! A loud noise was heard. A school building near them was smashed by something. The noise alerted all the students in the great hall, and they immediately rushed out of the great hall.

"What happened?"

"Ah, something seems to have smashed into the roof of that building."

"What is it?"

"What is happening?"

Li Shiyu silently moved beside Li Lanfeng. He asked in a low voice, "What did you see?"

"Ice," Li Lanfeng replied with a stern face. He saw it a glimpse of it.

"You mean our Boss?" Li Shiyu was shocked.

"Let's go and take a look." Li Lanfeng moved his body and arrived at the building.

"Wait!" A teacher who had arrived before them shouted.

Li Lanfeng frowned. However, he didn't stop. "Teacher, what happened here?"

"An unidentified object fell onto this building just now. We have made arrangements for someone to inspect the building so don't go in first. We don't want to destroy the evidence left at the scene," the teacher replied seriously.

Li Lanfeng nodded. Li Shiyu quickly pulled Li Lanfeng. He didn't understand why Li Lanfeng gave up so easily.

Li Lanfeng whispered, "With our Boss's ability, he wouldn't be the one who got thrown there. It might be his opponent."

Li Shiyu was enlightened. To fight with their boss like that, that person must be a domain realm master. They would not be able to deal with him. If they went in and got taken as hostages…

Li Lanfeng was thinking about the same thing so he brought Li Shiyu back. Since they couldn't help their Boss, they must not create trouble for her.

Soon, news came back that there was nothing there. The hole seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Many people saw the damaged terrain in the forest, arising a huge commotion in the academy. Many teachers turned serious. Damaging a terrain to this scale would definitely need a person who was much stronger than them. They were just at the Qi-Jin stage, what could they do if they met a domain realm master. What on earth happened here? Who came to their school and created this mess?

Li Lanfeng looked at the debris in the forest. He thought for a moment and decided to send Ling Lan a message. If Ling Lan was safe, she should be able to receive his message.

In her room, Ling Lan asked Little Four to message Li Lanfeng immediately when Little Four told her that Li Lanfeng was looking for her. If Li Lanfeng looked for her at this time, it must be something important. This was why she went back to her room when she had the chance to.

Li Lanfeng was relieved to know that Ling Lan was safe. He told Ling Lan what Su Pei told him. Ling Lan frowned. She knew that she had saved Xiao Yiqiu. If Xiao Yiqiu was still not back, it must be because he met someone from the organization again.

"Boss, what do we do now? Are we going there again?" Little Four asked.

"Firstly, what is the plan of the Federation?" She had sent that information to the Federation already. By now, they should have started to move.

Thus, it was not a good time for her to go out now. Additionally, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were still here. She didn't know if they would suddenly look for her. Also, all the students and teachers in school were currently paying attention to the forest now. The organization should have realized the wood element titled domain realm master was dead by now and would have strengthened their security.

Ling Lan didn't want to expose herself in this mission. She didn't want to have anything to do with the Flying Dragon Special Forces and didn't want to endanger her comrades.

The Azure Central Scout Academy was just the surface level of the organization, one could imagine how deep their hands had gotten into, as there was a half step imperial level domain expert guarding the organization. There were also many fake domain realm masters who were created. This organization was too scary. If they knew that she was the person who leaked the information, she believed that this organization, which conducted human experiments and performed many illegal actions, would kill her comrades and everybody close to her.

"The order has been given. They will attack at 2 pm tomorrow." Little Four managed to decipher the message from the military headquarters quickly.

"There is less than 24 hours left. Let's see if Xiao Yiqiu is lucky enough." Xiao Yiqiu was an acquaintance of hers. She was not going to risk the safety of her friends just because of him.

Time passed by slowly. The divisions that were based near Planet Azure sent their domain realm masters over. As time was tight, only less than 30 domain realm masters came. The commander-in-chief received intel that their opponent had a titled domain realm formidable warrior. Without one on their side, he could only be worried. He hoped that the intel he received was accurate, that the ice element titled domain realm formidable warrior was on their side and not just a passer-by.

Finally, the time for the attack came. When the Federation entered the grounds of the Azure Central Scout Academy, they realized that they were trapped in a difficult position.

The Federation attacked suddenly so they managed to catch their opponent off guard and controlled most of the school. However, the organization had made preparations for such situations. When they realized they were being attacked, the spies disguised as teachers from the organization kidnapped a portion of the students as their hostages. Coincidentally, the special class 2 was part of the hostages.

The teachers who kidnapped the students were not Qi-Jin masters. They were domain realm masters. Although they were fake domain realm masters, they overpowered the hostages using numbers. The domain realm masters from the Federation were not afraid of the fake domain realm masters, but they didn't dare to act rashly because of the hostages.

The people in the headquarters received the news of the attack, so they quickly came out of the forest. Very soon, more than 30 fake domain realm masters had gathered together. The people from the military cursed when they saw the number of fake domain realm masters. They made it seem as though domain realm masters could be made in a factory. What would those domain realm masters who worked so hard to reach their current status think about this?

Ling Lan squatted among the scouts while covering her head with her hands. Her entire body was trembling.

Mu Chaoran couldn't bear to see him like this so he comforted him. "Little Brother Shaoyun, don't worry. We are here."

"Yes, don't worry. We will ensure your safety." Tang Ningyu added on. If he could, he wished that Pei Shaoyun would not experience these things. He didn't want to taint his pure heart.

Ling Lan looked at them pitifully. "Are we really fine?"

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran nodded at the same time. They comforted him with their gazes.

"Stop talking. If not, I will kill you all." The domain realm master heard the commotion there and threatened them.

Ling Lan looked down hurriedly as if she was afraid her little life would be taken away. A killing intent flashed past Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran's eyes. How dare he scare their Little Brother Shaoyun. He is looking for death!

Chapter 770: Wrong Person!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The organization asked the military to retreat out of the academy grounds. The military, of course, outrightly refused them. They prepared for so long and sacrifices so many soldiers in order to get evidence of their crime. How could they let these people escape just because of a few hundred hostages?

The discussion came to a standstill. The leader of this bunch of kidnappers sent a weird look to his men. Ling Lan, Mu Chaoran, and Tang Ningyu's heart stopped beating for a moment when they saw that look. They felt that something bad was going to happen soon.

Sure enough, the fake domain realm masters grabbed the scouts beside them.

The leader sneered at the commander-in-chief. "You might be willing to talk after we show how serious we are here."

The commander-in-chief's expression changed. He shouted angrily, "Stop it!"

However, his shout was not enough to stop his opponent. The leader from the kidnappers raised his hand, and his subordinates all started to release their energy, getting ready to strangle the scouts to death.

"Bastards!" The Federation's domain realm masters rushed forward furiously. However, the fake domain realm masters stopped them. The Federation's domain realm masters wouldn't be able to break through the fake domain realm masters' blockage and saved the suffocating scouts.

Just as the scouts were about to die, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they activated their domain.

Lightning bolts and flames appeared from their bodies, attacking the fake domain realm masters who were strangling the scouts to death.

These fake domain realm masters who were occupied with strangling the scout suddenly felt a sense of danger. They immediately threw away the scout in their hands and activated their domain, blocking Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran's attack.

As for Ling Lan, the moment Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran acted, she used her spiritual power to send an order to Little White.

Just after the fake domain realm masters blocked Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran's attack, they heard a loud bang.

The entire ground started shaking. The buildings at the side crumbled to the ground. Dust flew in the air, blocking everyone's vision.

At that moment, multiple whips (tentacles?) flailed across the sky. Then, they heard numerous slapping sounds with screams and shouts for help also ringing through the air.

The military then saw the tentacles hurling numerous black balls at them at an insanely fast speed. One could hear screams of terror following the black balls.

Is this an attack? The military was worried. They couldn't see what the creature looked like but from afar, they could faintly make out its size. It was humongous. These experienced soldiers would not be able to resist an attack from it.

The domain realm masters, on the other hand, weren't scared of this huge creature. They could faintly see that those black balls it hurled at them were the hostages. No matter what this creature was, it was helping them. They quickly shouted, "Catch those people!"

As expected of soldiers, the moment they heard this order, they knew what to do. They acted quickly and split into teams of three. When they saw someone falling close to the ground, they would dash in and catch that person.

A while ago, they were hostages. Now, they were flying humans. The scouts couldn't control their emotions and started crying the moment they landed in the arms of the soldiers. They were not scared or surprised. They were just confused.

The dust settled soon, and a big white circular creature was revealed among the hostages. Its tentacles flew everywhere. However, the domain realm master could see that it was not flailing its tentacles wildly for no reason. It looked messy but the creature only hit those fake domain realm masters. As for the scouts, they were hurled to the military.

The circular creature was big and had many tentacles. By the time the people from the organization realized what was happening, only Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were left.

Little White happily hurled one hostage after another. It reached out its tentacles and felt around… there was no one left. Little White realized that it threw all the hostages out already.

Did it throw everyone?

Huh? Little White suddenly widened its eyes and let out a screech of despair.

The literal sound waves it produced caused everyone around it to kneel to the ground. Some scouts that were weaker got internally injured by the sound waves and vomited out blood. Even some domain realm masters felt dizzy when they heard the screech. They had to activate their domain to block off the sound.

Little White dazedly looked at the empty place. It was flabbergasted.

It hugged its head with two tentacles in disbelief. It didn't notice that it threw its master out like a piece of rubbish! It, it, threw the wrong person! Ahhhh! It was dead.

Little White was so frightened that it turned small and hid in a corner of the hole, trembling in fear. It would definitely be beaten up by its master. Sob, can someone save me? I didn't do it on purpose.

Without the hostages, the military could finally attack without any worry. A battle between domain realm masters occurred. The scouts were able to spectate a domain battle, something they, by right, couldn't see this early in their life. This was a rare opportunity for them. Many students who were talented in physical skills received a lot of insights from this battle, thus improving their physical skills. A talented valedictorian set a greater goal for himself after watching this battle. In the future, this valedictorian became a domain realm master.

There were fewer domain realm masters from the Federation but the difference in strength caused them to subdue their opponents and take control of the situation.

When Tang Ningyu killed his second domain realm master, Mu Chaoran had killed his second domain realm master too. They looked around and realized that there were no more opponents around them. They exchanged glances with each other and nodded. Both of them wanted to go to the headquarters again.

Tang Ningyu still brooded over the fact that he didn't manage to enter the headquarters yesterday. The headquarters' boss was probably buying time for them to retreat by sending most of his men here. This time, he would not let them succeed.

Mu Chaoran wanted to investigate the headquarters too. He still remembered Su Pei saying that Xiao Yiqiu was caught. Although he had sent a message to the military headquarters, they would not change their plan for an unimportant person like Xiao Yiqiu.

Since they met and became classmates, Mu Chaoran didn't mind helping him along the way if he had a chance to.

As the two of them were about to leave, Mu Chaoran saw something from the corner of his eye. He walked there and squatted down near the hole. He looked inside and picked up a trembling round little ball.

"Haha, the pet is the same as its master. His pet is so timid too." Mu Chaoran looked at the teary-eyed Little White who was shivering in fear. He smiled.

"Suits him perfectly." Tang Ningyu smiled gently too.
