The Gathering of the Strong
Lu Benwei shook his head. “Chu Yan’s background is very mysterious. I don’t think their relationship is as simple as we think.”
Hearing this, Lin Feng sighed deeply. “Are we just going to let this she-devil follow our team until the end of the tournament?”
Lu Benwei shrugged helplessly.
“Heavens, when will this end?!” Lin Feng looked up to the sky and howled. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
Lu Benwei gently patted his shoulder and said, “Tomorrow morning, I’ll try to ask Chu Yan. If Chu Yan doesn’t want to be with Wang Zining, we can force them to leave tomorrow. You might have to fight with Wang Zining, so be prepared,” Lu Benwei said after a pause.
Hearing this, Lin Feng pursed his lips tightly. “I’ll try not to hold you back.”
…
The next day, there were still four days before the end of the tournament.
Lu Benwei and Wang Zining’s team had already finished packing and were ready to go to the legendary stigma secret realm.
Before they left, Lu Benwei sneaked behind Chu Yan and called out softly, “Chu Yan, come with me, I have something to tell you.”
Chu Yan felt that it was strange. Lu Benwei had always been straightforward, but today he was acting weird.
The two came to a small forest and Lu Benwei said, “Chu Yan, what’s your relationship with Wang Zining? Why does she seem to have special feelings for you? Could it be…?”
Lu Benwei found it difficult to finish his sentence.
Chu Yan shook her head and said, “I knew you asked me to come here for this. You don’t need to care about what relationship she has with me,” she said after a pause, “Don’t worry, with me around, she won’t do anything to us.”
Lu Benwei pondered for a moment. Chu Yan’s meaning was clear. Wang Zining’s relationship with her was not ordinary, and it was likely to involve Chu Yan’s background.
Lu Benwei shrugged helplessly and prepared to return to the main team. However, when Lu Benwei came out of the woods, he saw Wang Zining staring at him.
“Where did you take Yanyan?”
Her tone was very unfriendly, like a mother questioning her daughter who had gone out for some time.
Lu Benwei’s lips suddenly curved up and he smiled slyly. “We went to do bad things.”
Wang Zining tilted her head. “Bad things? What bad things?”
“What other bad things can a man and a woman do in the woods?” Lu Benwei smiled.
Wang Zining’s face turned red, and she stomped her feet in anger.
…
Half a day had passed.
The group played around and soon arrived at the entrance of the legendary stigma secret realm.
The stigma secret realm was not like the small secret realms that Lu Benwei had encountered. There were seven or eight entrances.
The biggest entrance was filled with powerhouses from the nine hunter universities. Lu Benwei also found the team from Zhejiang Hunter University.
Zhou Qingfeng, Liu Luchen, Wang Yan, Xu Tuo, and the other powerhouses gathered. They picked a good place and waited for the opening of the stigma secret realm.
Coincidentally, the camp of Hudan Hunter University was only a few meters away from the camp of Zhejiang Hunter University.
Zhou Qingfeng stood in front of the campsite and glanced at Lu Benwei. He was with Wang Zining at the Hudan Hunter University’s campsite.
“Qingfeng, why is that kid with your old classmate? Did he betray us? Do you want me and Xu Tuo to teach him a lesson?”
Wang Yan did not let go of any opportunity to deal with Lu Benwei.
Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand and said coldly, “Lu Benwei wouldn’t make such a stupid move.”
After a pause, Zhou Qingfeng continued, “Besides, are you sure you can defeat Lu Benwei if you two join forces?”
Hearing this, Wang Yan and Xu Tuo’s faces immediately turned green as if they had eaten gallbladder.
Suddenly, a few rays of light flashed past Zhou Qingfeng’s eyes and headed straight for the Hudan Hunter University’s campsite.
“Let’s wait and see. There will be a good show to watch in a while.”
At the same time, the participants from Hudan Hunter University were surprised to see Wang Zining leading Lu Benwei’s team from Zhejiang Hunter University into their camp.
“Zining, what are they doing?” someone from Hudan Hunter University asked.
Wang Zining coldly glanced at that person, and everyone who wanted to question her immediately shut up and did not dare to bring up any question again.
Lu Benwei finally understood. Wang Zining was one of the top students at Hudan Hunter University.
Lu Benwei did not rely on the power of the Ancient Sword of Clarity and easily defeated the second-ranked Lin Luoyu.
As for Wang Zining, even if Lu Benwei used all his strength, he could not guarantee that he could defeat her.
The few of them found a tent and went in.
At this time, Wang Zining’s teammate, Cheng Yuan, jogged in from outside and whispered in Wang Zining’s ear, “The top five from the nine hunter universities are here.”
Wang Zining laughed coldly after hearing this. “It seems that the three-rune stigma is really attractive.”
“Zining, even though the geniuses from the hunter universities aren’t the same, we still can’t underestimate everyone’s ability.”
“I know,”
Wang Zining’s eyes lit up.
“I only have three opponents in this tournament – Li Tiancheng, Zhou Qingfeng, and Lu Ziling, the witch from Yanjing Hunter University!”
Hearing Lu Ziling’s name, Lu Benwei frowned slightly. Chu Yan and the others also subconsciously turned to Lu Benwei.
Wang Zining suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little off and said, “Yanyan, if you meet Lu Ziling in the final round, you mustn’t use fire magic and fight her head-on.”
After a short pause, Wang Zining turned to her teammates and said, “And you guys too.”
At this time, someone in Wang Zining’s team expressed his dissatisfaction. “Zining, what’s so special about Lu Ziling’s flame?”
...
Wang Zining’s face turned serious and her voice subconsciously lowered.
“Lu Ziling’s flame is called the Fire of God. It can be said that it’s the ultimate flame, and it controls the power of the law of fire. As long as she wants to, she can make anything burn, and the fire will never die!”
When everyone heard this, they all gasped. The divine flame had the power of the fire law. No wonder it was the hot favorite for this tournament.
While everyone looked up to Lu Ziling’s strength, only Lu Benwei smiled bitterly. It was only today that he knew Lu Ziling’s true strength. At the same time, he was the only one who knew what kind of suffering Lu Ziling was about to suffer.
Suddenly, Wang Zining’s eyes became indulgent, and he said to Chu Yan, “Yanyan, don’t worry. I’ll get you the three-rune stigma.”
