Chapter 27

"Hey. Huang Yu…"

"Yes?"

A giant ape had its heart ripped out of it while a wolf had its head smashed into pieces at that moment.

"Can you leave some of the beasts for us?"

Another three beasts were slashed in half before having their bones used as projectiles.

"No problem bro. Just let me take care of a few more. They've been bothering me for quite a while."

"Umm, sure?"

The other students of class zero didn't know what to do inside the spirit ascension platform. The moment they entered, Huang Yu began demolishing every single beast that approached before they could even blink.

They had come in at peak performance. They were extremely alert, preparing to fight against the wave of spirit beasts that they had been warned against by their teacher, Wu Zhangkong.

They clearly didn't expect this to happen...

As Huang Yu stabbed his sword into the last spirit beast that was still alive, Xie Xie couldn't help but ask. "I thought you said you hated fighting spirit beasts here?"

"I did." Huang Yu's reply was curt, pulling out his sword from the corpse of the spirit beast as he did so. Some blood nearly splattered onto him, but he repelled it with a subtle use of the King's Wisdom.

"Then why are you killing all of them? By yourself too may I add."

Huang Yu turned to Xie Xie with a raised eyebrow. "Why are you complaining? Aren't you getting free benefits from what I'm doing?"

That quickly shut Xie Xie up.

The words Huang Yu had spoken were true. Inside the rebellion spirit ascension platform, the energy that was gotten from killing the spirit beasts were shared among teammates.

Of course, as the killer of the beasts, Huang Yu received the most benefits. However, the amounts gotten by the others weren't small by any means.

Although they realised that Huang Yu was monopolising most of the benefits, they couldn't really blame him.

If he had chosen not to fight, they would definitely have been swiftly overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of spirit beasts that had been coming at them. The trickle of energy that had been left over from the beasts were far more than anything they could have gotten on their own.

Of course, the overwhelmed part would be a different story if a certain silver dragon king decided to take action instead of acting super low-key all the time.

The reason they decided to speak up about Huang Yu's actions was because they really wanted to get some battle experience.

Huang Yu had taken out a large number of beasts at this time, so it should be safer for them to come in and fight now.

"Ok, I'm done. You guys can take the leftovers. If you don't think they're enough, there are a couple more up north. We can head there if you want. Be warned though, if they decide to approach me, I won't be courteous."

Tang Wulin wanted to spit blood when he heard that. Would there be any difference like this? Each and every single time the spirit beasts appeared, no matter who was nearer to them, they would always target Huang Yu.

Hell, even when a wolf right beside him, it still went to target Huang Yu.

This scene was vividly clear to him that it was the same as when he had gone mad and attacked Huang Yu.

He would have to ask Old Tang about this for more information.

"Guys, there seems to be three people approaching in our direction. Two males, one female. They seem to be about 15 or 16-years-old. One of them has three rings while the other two have two rings. We should finish up the remaining beasts and leave now."

Zhou Yangzi succinctly reported his evaluation of the approaching group.

"""OK!"""

Tang Wulin and the others tried to take out the remaining spirit beasts. Much to their chagrin(and expectation), the spirit beasts rushed towards Huang Yu again before quickly losing their heads a few moments after.

Sighs came out from the mouths of the other students of class zero.

"Let's leave. We shouldn't waste time fighting it out with other competitors. It wouldn't be worth our time." Gu Yue abruptly spoke.

With that, they all left the area.

— — — —

Class zero leisurely travelled through the forest of the spirit ascension platform. This was a horribly dangerous thing to do for other people, but since they had the 'cheat' existence called Huang Yu in their team, they could afford to do so.

When they saw it, they didn't even bother to put up their guard.

Huang Yu didn't because the beast was too weak.

The other students didn't because they knew that it was going to attack Huang Yu anyways.

With a sigh, Huang Yu prepared for a killing blow. But before he could, a bright, white light flashed from far ahead of them and heavily wounded the Six-armed Fire Snake. A bizarre ice wheel fluttered in the breeze, it's points dripping with the blood of the spirit beast.

Huang Yu watched as a figure with three spirit rings underfoot appeared before them, quickly absorbing the spirit energy of the fallen Six-armed Fire Snake.

The figure was eighteen, with two yellow spirit rings and one purple spirit ring coiled around his body. This indicated that he was a Spirit Elder. In his right hand, he held a snow white staff which was topped by an icy, blue crystal. His face was cold and arrogant, not much different from Wu Zhangkong's usual expression.

Huang Yu seeing the staff in the Spirit Elder's hand snickered softly. That Spirit Elder really looked like he was cosplaying for Elsa.

Not only that, he wasn't alone.

A girl seemingly around the same age as Huang Yu's group popped her head out from behind the youth. Her blue hair was styled in twintails, and she looked as if cut from jade. Her beauty was stunning and far exceeded that of Gu Yue's. In her hand was a staff nearly identical to the youth's, only hers being a bit smaller. A single yellow soul ring flickered beneath her, illuminating her frightened expression in the face of such killing.

Seeing her, Huang Yu wasn't affected by her beauty at all. While a lesser man might've, he wasn't interested in the little girl. He preferred big and mȧturė ladies.

All in all, they looked pretty interesting. However, he didn't hold much more interest in them than that.

He didn't mind that they killstealed the snake. If he did, it would be like getting angry that you lost a penny when you had a million dollars.

Opening his mouth to ask his team to leave, he was suddenly cut off when the male Spirit Elder spoke.

"Withdraw from the spirit ascension platform voluntarily and leave behind your spirit energy. Then you'll be spared from some pain."

Oh?

OHHHHHHH??????

Was this the scenario he had anticipated the most in this life?

Did he just meet one of them??? He needed to confirm this.

Before anyone else could give a reply, Huang Yu had already spoken.

"You…" he began in a grim tone, "you look familiar. Are you perhaps from one of the powerful families in this city…"

Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie and the others looked at him in surprise when they heard him speak so grimly. They had never seen Huang Yu act like this before. Was this person's background that terrifying?

The youth holding the ice staff sneered. "That's right. I am a genius from the esteemed Xu Family, Xu Xiaoyu. Since you know this, I'll be generous. I'll give you a second chance to leave voluntarily."

Ah ha! He hit the jackpot on this one.

Those words were young master 101.

Oh boy, this was going to be fun!
