Pshew!
The Fifth, Sixth and Seventh squad leader finally arrived at the scene after half of an hour travelling from their camps at neck-breaking speed.
"Here is the location of where we saw that unknown figure battling against the monsters before.." the patrolman said as he scanned his surroundings nervously.
Where did that person go?
Looking at the physical state from the leftover battleground with their very own eyes, they couldn"t help but to swallow a mouthful of saliva each.
Gulp!
"The entire ground was devastated!" Mo Shinfeng commented as his eyes opened wide in astonishment.
Countless chunks of rocks were jutting out from the ground due to the impact of Duan Li"s fist art, littering tons of soil and debris around it.
For these to occur as such, it would require a tremendous amount of power to be able to do it.
"Look at all of those dead monsters.. their entire remains were being plastered forcefully to the ground.." Xu Liyu added as she surveyed an area of crumpled rocks.
Zhuge Liang on the other hand, observed his surroundings calmly with his hands behind his back. He noticed that there were vast traces of burnt marks all over the ground as he nodded repeatedly.
Some of the monsters even melted and was in a gooey state!
"It seems that what you said was indeed correct.. these decimated areas were all burnt as if it had collided with some meteors.." he said towards the patrolman feeling intrigued.
"Just who exactly is this mysterious figure?"
...
After further a.s.sessing the battleground and piecing the hints together, they were able to learn and understand 3 things;
One, was that there was not just a single individual duking himself against the monsters as was saw by the patrolmen. Instead, there were at least four, including the mysterious man.
This was evidenced by the different damage marks done onto the enemy such as traces of the monsters being decapitated, punctured, slashed and smashed.
Two, was that while these 4 individuals were strong, they were only able to eliminate roughly around 8,000 of the monsters before retreating hastily. As for the reasons, they could only make some baseless hypothesis for now.
And three, was that from the vast damaged areas, they could make out two separate sides, left and right from the middle. These meant that the enemy was split to at least two groups and was being handled separately while the main force of the monsters were suppressed somehow!
The only thing that had them confused was the damage wounds..
After all, the 4 different types of damage wounds were on both side as well as further up ahead, excluding the decapitated enemies, which were only present on the North side.
Did all 4 individuals rotated themselves for each side repeatedly?
But that would be too much task..
Tap!
"I"ve finished the scouting and the enemy"s new position was located up ahead by 30 kilometers to the East from here. They settled down to a new area before resting for the night due to the cold.." said the patrolman who had just came back after being instructed to find the location of the enemy.
"En! Seems like we are done here too and there are not much to do to hang around anymore. Let us return to the camp to discuss about this situation further and report it to the higher ups." said Zhuge Liang.
All four of them nodded in agreement.
Pshew!
...
Pshew!
"Huu! That was a close one!" Duan Li said in relief. He was now somewhere near the outskirts of the Blastwinter desert.
He had used the One Step To Reach movement skill art several times to quickly fled the battlefield. Only then did he dare to flew normally after he reached a safe distance away.
After exhaling another sigh of relief, Duan Li"s face beamed with a wide smile!
"Eventhough I was short of 2,000 monsters from my initial expectation, I still couldn"t believe that I was able to do what I just did!" he said while laughing out as he clenched both fist and threw them into the air.
That was a very good feeling of being able to dominate the entire battlefield back there!
"Seems like my real battle prowess is actually around Golden core realm.. and my fist art attacks, and possibly the rest of the Nine Legends Edition skill arts too.. each of their might should be on the level of a skill attack from a Nascent soul realm at Major mastery!"
"Young Master, this was only natural for you, back then.. ehh nevermind!" the sword was about to say some more before it realized something and quickly shut its mouth.
It was fortunate that Duan Li wasn"t really paying attention to him.
"Young Master, those Alpha monster.. it would be quite a trouble handling it.." the sword said as he switched to another sentence quickly.
Hmm?
"That"s right.. to think that an Alpha was among them.. but the Princ.i.p.al and the rest should already be discussing on what to do about it at the moment.. after all, they could see everything from the beacon jade.." Duan Li said as he cupped at his chin.
Anyway, time to go back!
Pshew!
...
Back in the Princ.i.p.al"s office..
The atmosphere within the room was oppressive such that not a single one dared to utter a single word.
The Princ.i.p.al and the Vice-Princ.i.p.al included!
However, the robes of these two enigmatic figure whose status was the highest of all in the academy were currently wrinkled, a little bit tattered and their hairs dishevelled.
Seeing that Duan Li was finally on course to head back to the academy, all of them could finally breath in relief!
"H-Hey.. its okay now see? We are confident of his abilities.." the Princ.i.p.al started to open his mouth.
"Shut it!" an angry shout came from a chiby woman by the side.
She was Meng Yue, Duan Li"s mother!
When she first came to know this, her entire face was dark, seething with anger that was about to explode anytime.
Only after she saw Duan Li was safe without any sorts of injuries on him, did her face softened up gradually.
But as a result, she had to vent some of her anger away by roughing up both the Princ.i.p.al and the Vice-Princ.i.p.al that were responsible for it all!
Against her beatings, they were helpless and didn"t dare to retaliate against her due to past traumas.
"I"m gonna wait for my son by the entrance. The next time you two dared to do something like this ever again, you would pray that I did not find the two of you! Hmph!!" she said as she harrumphed loudly before leaving the room and banging the door hard.
BANG!!
Huuu..
Safe!!
We are safe!!
"Sh*t! I"ve never been in such a dangerous situation like that before! This was all your fault!" the Princ.i.p.al bellowed out towards the Vice-Princ.i.p.al.
"Well.. if I knew that she was coming over, even if this world were to collapse, I would have never agreed to his request either!" the Vice-Princ.i.p.al replied frustratingly as he bent his body down to collect the broken pieces of several of his favorite teacups and pots scattered on the floor.
Hais!
"That 3 Star Monster back then, she almost exploded on us when she saw that. Thankfully, Duan Li made the right decision to retreat quickly." the Princ.i.p.al said as he sighed in relief.
"Indeed, even with Duan Li"s battle prowess right now.. which shouldn"t be possible at someone of his realm yet, had he decided to foolishly fought it.. the likelihood of him being killed is extremely high.. and us too here.." the Vice-Princ.i.p.al added.
Since they had all witnessed Duan Li"s shocking might through the jade beacon, they now had a good grasp of the latter"s battle prowess..
Pinnacle stage Golden Core realm!
"Should we send the Emperor a notice for us to leave the academy to beat that thing up?" said the Vice-Princ.i.p.al as he suddenly thought of a good idea.
"Oh? I reckon the Emperor would immediately agree. After all, if he too was here, even his status as the Emperor would not protect him from Meng Yue"s wrath." the Princ.i.p.al snickered as he sent out a message through the communication jade slip.
Shortly after, they got the Emperor"s reply;
"Permission granted!"
