Chapter 210: Stupid Big Knife

Lan Xuanyu opened his eyes and realized that Bing Tianliang, Yu Tian, and Lin Donghui had already come to their senses before him and were standing in front, not far from him. Next to him, Qian Lei and Liu Feng had also woken up around the same time and were still looking confused.

This should be due to the gap in their cultivations; too bad others’ cultivations were stronger than theirs.

The three of them still only had two rings while the other team had one Soul Master with four rings and another two with three rings. The difference in strengths of their teams were very apparent.

Bing Tianliang turned his head and glanced at Lan Xuanyu, then said, “We’ve been in the Spirit Ascension Platform before and the soul beasts here are not controlled by any program, so they are more realistic and also more frightening. Although we’ve entered the Elementary Spirit Ascension platform, it’s not impossible to encounter strong soul beasts. We must be extra careful. As long as we kill a soul beast, everyone nearby would gain the Spirit Soul energy that is released by the soul beast, which will strengthen our Soul Rings and Soul Bones.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded. He understood what Bing Tianlian was telling him. It didn’t matter who killed the soul beast, the effect would be the same.

“You’re commanding? Or me?” Lan Xuanyu asked Bing Tianliang.

Bing Tianliang replied without hesitation, “You’ll do it.”

Hearing his straightforward answer, Lan Xuanyu had a better impression of this guy. This time, Bing Tianliang came over specially to look for him and didn’t beat around the bush, telling him his purpose directly. Simple and direct. Lan Xuanyu quite liked his personality; people who were direct were more honest and much easier to communicate with.

If Bing Tianliang said that he would be the one commanding, then even if Lan Xuanyu didn’t bring Qian Lei and Liu Feng away immediately, Lan Xuanyu would still be suspicious of this cooperation. If Bing Tianliang was the one commanding, what was the point of working together with him?

Lan Xuanyu gave him a thumbs-up sign and took on the responsibility. He then said, “Alright, Liu Feng, you’ll scout around and observe the situation around us. Let’s prepare ourselves and make sure we’re in the best condition before moving forward.”

Liu Feng nodded and bolted into the woods, disappearing in an instant.

The other three people were obviously very strong; he didn’t want to lag behind them so he displayed his extremely fast speed.

Bing Tianliang’s team were all offensive-type Soul Masters and Bing Tianliang was all-rounded; whether it be strength, explosive power, or speed, he was strong in all aspects. Plus, he had his four-ring cultivation. Lan Xuanyu had to admit that he felt quite safe with him in the front.

The five of them stood in the same spot and adjusted their Soul Powers quietly. Not long after, Liu Feng returned.

Liu Feng told everyone his observations. “There aren’t any traces of soul beasts within a 300 meters radius. It’s quite safe for the time being. I climbed up a tree and saw that the woods are more dense towards the north from where we are at and the trees are taller too. It should be an area where there are stronger soul beasts.”

Lan Xuanyu turned to Bing Tianliang, “Student Bing, with your previous experience here, do you suggest that we go deeper into the woods or try lingering around the peripheral area?”

Bing Tianliang thought about it. “If it were me, I would advance deeper inside.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded. “Alright, we shall linger around the peripheral area for a while, then.”

Bing Tianliang was surprised, Lin Donghui was stunned, and Yu Tian exploded in anger. Unable to hold it in, he said, “Lan Xuanyu, you’re doing this on purpose!”

Lan Xuanyu said indifferently, “I just wanted to try and see if my commanding works.”

Yu Tian was enraged. “Are you childish or what?”

Qian Lei placed his arms on his waist, “Stupid Big Knife, who are you referring to, huh?”

“I’ll fulfil your death wish for you.” Yu Tian glared sharply, and an oppressive force burst forth from his body.

Bing Tianliang lifted his hand and stopped Yu Tian. In a deep voice, he said, “Listen to him. How should we plan our formation?” The question was directed to Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Qian Lei and I will be in the middle, Liu Feng will take the lead. Brother Bing will follow behind. Stupid… er, that student who uses the big knife will be in front while the one who uses the sun Martial Soul will be behind him, in front of me and Qian Lei.”

Bing Tianliang nodded and said, “Alright.”

Liu Feng nodded and moved in a flash. Yu Tian scoffed coldly and strode to the front, Lin Donghui following behind him. Behind them were Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei walking side by side and Bing Tianliang at the back.

As Bing Tianliang walked behind Lan Xuanyu, he stared at the boy’s back and there was determination in his eyes. If not for Liang Shushi getting into Shrek Academy as well, with his personality, he would never approach someone for help, nor would he listen to the orders of others.

Bing Tianliang did not trust Lan Xuanyu, but rather, he trusted in Lan Xuanyu’s abilities. Lan Xuanyu’s team managed to achieve first place in both rounds of the qualifiers with their two Soul Rings cultivation, which wasn’t something any ordinary person could do. Bing Tianliang had a deep impression of Lan Xuanyu’s calm commands when he was faced with him. Even until the end, he could still get Yu Tian to be a scapegoat. Lan Xuanyu must have a special ability within him.

It was a blessing to bump into them at the Spirit Ascension Platform. He could take this chance to observe Lan Xuanyu’s abilities and decide if he wanted to work with him during the semi-final so that Liang Shushi could also advance to Shrek Academy.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden whistle up ahead. Lan Xuanyu froze. “There’s a soul beast. Get ready for battle.”

By the time Bing Tianliang returned to his senses, Liu Feng was already in front. “Three 100-year and three 10-year Tough Porcupines.”

He was simply too fast; while his words were travelling, he was already physically here.

Yu Tian, who was walking in front, tapped his toes on the ground and three Soul Rings rose from his feet, one yellow and two purple. Also, his gigantic Mo Sword appeared as well.

Yu Tian wasn’t sure why, but when he held the Mo Sword, he suddenly recalled the nickname Qian Lei gave him and he felt annoyed all of a sudden.

‘This bastard, how did I become Stupid Big Knife?’

Tough Porcupines were very irascible soul beasts, you could even say that they were impetuous. They would attack almost immediately when they encountered a living thing. Unless they were far more powerful than they were, there was no chance of chasing them away.

Following the low roars and noise, three large and three small porcupines appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Yu Tian stepped forward and bellowed, “HEY!”

His shout attracted the attention of all six Tough Porcupines. Among these six porcupines, the three small ones were about 1.5 meters long and were very plump while the large ones were over 2.5 meters long. The Tough Porcupines’ bodies were covered in spikes. Being provoked, the porcupines charged in their direction almost without hesitation.

The three large ones were in front while the three small ones were behind. As they ran over, their eyes began to redden, soon becoming blood-red.

This was an innate skill of the Tough Porcupine, Bloodthirsty! They were able to get into the Bloodthirsty state in a short amount of time, which increased their speed and strength. They had coarse skin and were meaty, and when they ran, they were like small bulldozers.

Yu Tian’s second Soul Ring lit up and he stood there like a javelin, becoming one with the Mo Sword in his hand. It was his second Soul Skill, Knife-like Body. His body and sword became one, and a tyrannical aura arose along with his oppressive air.

His third Soul Ring shone, and the surface of the Mo Sword glistened as it accumulated momentum and power. The third Soul Skill, Mo Sword Power.

Lin Donghui was working with him; the Brilliant Sun on his head lit up and three Soul Rings arose from his feet too.

Seeing that the six porcupines were nearing, numerous fireballs began flying out continuously, but they didn’t shoot directly at these porcupines. Instead, they were fired at the sides and those three small ones at the back.

Each fireball flew to the precise location they were supposed to go, and in a moment, there were loud rumblings and flames everywhere.
