Guarding the Sub-Hall
Lu Benwei and the others were helping Lin Feng absorb the energy from the legacy stone tablet.
“The battle outside is so intense!”
The few of them chatted with each other.
“It seems like some secret treasure has appeared. Otherwise, such an intense battle wouldn’t have been triggered. It’s no wonder that no one is interested in the treasures of the first hall,” Lu Benwei lightly said.
“Who said there isn’t?”
Lu Benwei’s voice just fell when a faint voice came.
“There’s really someone who wants to fish in troubled waters.” Lu Benwei sneered, stood up from the ground, and looked at the entrance of the hall.
Lu Benwei was in a daze.
At the entrance of the first hall, there was a huge group of people fishing in troubled waters. There was more than one university.
However, most of them were from the lower ten teams, and their overall strength was not as good as the top ten geniuses’ teams.
...
“So, it’s a small fry alliance.”
“You even dare to have ideas about me!”
Lu Benwei’s cold voice was filled with endless majesty, like a tsunami hitting the shore. It was like an ancient bell shattering the void, creating an ancient echo.
In that instant, the group of participants led by Zhang De immediately fell silent, all of them thinking that there was an extraordinary existence in the sub-palace.
“Who are you?” Zhang De was also a little scared.
It was so dark inside the sub-hall that people could not see anything. With Lu Benwei’s terrifying aura, many people began to retreat.
“Zhang De, are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”
“Didn’t you say that almost no one has entered the first palace? How can there be the ten great monster-level geniuses?”
“You’re asking me? Who should I ask?!” Zhang De’s neck bulged as he asked.
“But who’s the person inside?”
Some people began to have doubts.
...
“Why do I feel that the aura of the person inside is so familiar?”
“Who is it?!” Zhang De quickly asked.
“I think it’s Lu Benwei, the first-year magician from Zhejiang Hunter University!” the man replied.
“That Lu Benwei?” Zhang De’s expression was filled with disbelief. “How could he possess such a terrifying aura?”
“How is it impossible? Have you forgotten how he opened up a path for us in front of the Bitter Poison Demonic Tree?” in the crowd, someone replied with empty eyes as if the scene of the creation of heaven and earth was still vivid in his mind.
“Tsk!” Zhang De said disdainfully, “Isn’t that all thanks to Yang Ke, Zhou Qingfeng, and Wang Zining?”
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent.
“That’s true. How can a magician has the power to split the heavens and earth?” someone said while swallowing his saliva.
“I don’t care. I must get the treasure inside.” Zhang De stomped his feet and directly entered the palace.
The others followed suit.
Lu Benwei immediately became alert, stood up, and directly blocked the road.
...
“It’s you!” Zhang De was both surprised and happy. “It’s really you!”
Then, Zhang De stood on his tiptoes and peeked out to find Lin Feng absorbing the energy of the legacy stone tablet behind Lu Benwei. He was immediately overjoyed.
“It’s a legacy stone tablet! Get out of my way, or I’ll beat you up!” Zhang De said sternly after a pause.
Lu Benwei’s eyes were indifferent. “I heard your conversation and know that I just saved you. Why do you want to repay my kindness with ingratitude?”
“I say, junior Lu Benwei, everyone knows that you’re the one who gathered the power of Zhou Qingfeng, Wang Zining, and other monsters to save us.” Zhang De smiled.
Someone behind him sneered and continued, “Perhaps without you, we’d have been able to defeat the Bitter Poison Demonic Tree even faster.”
“If you want the legacy stone tablet, I can give it to you. However, you have to wait until Lin Feng has finished absorbing it!” Lu Benwei coldly shouted.
When absorbing the legacy stone tablet, he was most afraid of being disturbed. This was also the reason why Lu Benwei did not want to deal with this group of people. Otherwise, Lin Feng would fail at the last step and might even suffer a backlash. In short, the consequences were unbearable, and Lu Benwei did not want to take the risk.
“Hmph!” Zhang De sneered. “You want to send us away with just a used legacy stone tablet? In your dreams!”
Before the energy was absorbed from the legacy stone tablet, it was the purest and most valuable.
However, once the energy of the legacy stone tablet was absorbed, the price would be greatly reduced. Although it was possible to absorb the energy, the effect would not be as good as before.
...
Suddenly, an assassin made his move. He twisted and turned in the air, easily passing Lu Benwei and going straight for Lin Feng.
“Hmph!” Zhang De sneered. “Magician, open your eyes and see what the gap is!”
“Is there only one person on my team?” Lu Benwei almost laughed.
After saying that, a beautiful figure flashed past and jumped up.
“Boom!”
A loud noise was heard, and five elemental powers flashed around the beautiful figure. The moment he crossed swords with the assassin in Zhang De’s team, the power of five elements instantly wrapped around him, producing earth-shattering fluctuations.
“Boom!”
The assassin fell heavily to the ground, blood spurting out of his mouth. The beautiful figure landed, and a foot stepped heavily on the man’s chest.
“Who else dares to step forward?!”
The beautiful figure shouted coldly, scaring Zhang De and his group into retreating. It was only then that Zhang De and the others could see the face of the beautiful figure clearly.
She had exquisite facial features, a smooth face, a perfect high skull, and jade-like skin. She was a peerless beauty, like a fairy from heaven.
...
The moment Zhang De and his group saw her, they immediately felt ashamed and did not even have the courage to look her in the eye.
“Isn’t he just a small elementalist?” Zhang De swallowed his saliva and bit the bullet, there are so many of us here. Do we need to be afraid of her?!”
With that, Zhang De took the lead and went straight for Chu Yan. Seeing this, the others also gathered their courage and used all kinds of skills to attack Chu Yan.
The hall was filled with a dazzling light. Chu Yan’s eyes were extremely cold as the power of the five elements revolved around her.
“Dancing Flames!” Chu Yan shouted coldly, and the fire elements in the air instantly went berserk.
The raging flames swept across and burned half of the hall red. Countless people were affected and were blown away on the spot.
Zhang De was unconvinced and used his most powerful skill to defend himself. However, Chu Yan’s attack was so powerful that half of Zhang De’s body was covered in flames, and he was almost turned into charcoal.
“Great aunt, please spare me!”
The rest of the players were dumbfounded. A single skill had beaten them to a pulp, so they naturally understood that this beauty in front of them was not someone to be trifled with.
Chu Yan stepped on half of Zhang De’s body and coldly said, “Tell me who ordered you to do this?”
The others immediately shivered. “It’s the one you guessed under your feet. He said that everyone outside is fighting for the stigmata, and no one is paying attention to the sub-palace. Even if there are people in there, they aren’t people like the top ten geniuses. So, he tricked us to join forces and pick up the leftovers.”
