Chapter 86 Ch 86: Back To Academy

"Impossible, This has to be my illusion. It is not possible. My Nine Poison Worm King can even corrode the soul. You only have the power of the Heavenly Completion Stage, how could you expel the poison out of your body?" The old man cried out in disbelief when he saw the traces of poison disappearing from Zhu Yun's body.

"You don't need to know!" Zhu Yun coldly snorted at him, ready to attack again.

This venomous bug was the old man's trump card. However, it was easily resolved by Zhu Yun in front of his eyes, this caused his heart to tremble.

Zhu Yun, on the other hand, fiercely stomped her foot on the old man's face. With a cracking sound, the face of the old man became distorted.

"I won't waste time with you. Just die!"

A cold light flashed in Zhu Yun's eyes and an ice ball appeared in her hand. Then she threw the ice ball on the old man's body.

The ice that just landed on the old man's body was no ordinary ice but ice that was born from her Extreme Ice Sage Body. It was extremely powerful and had a kind of burning effect. Towards a demonic cultivator like the old man, it was like the bane of their existence!

"What kind of ice is this? Not only it is burning my body, it is burning my soul as well? AHH!"

The old man desperately tried to disperse the ice from his body, but how could it be that easy. The old man only struggled for a moment before he came to a halt.

Whoosh!

Zhu Yun looked at the body of the old man and breathed a sigh of relief. She did not want to use her Extreme Ice ability at all. With her current cultivation level, using the Extreme Ice could consume a great deal of energy from her body.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Yun shook her head, then turned around to look at Alex, only to see him slowly walking towards the cave's exit.

"Wait a moment." As Alex was leaving, a crisp female voice sounded from behind him. He turned his head, only to see Zhu Yun, who was trapped in the formation a moment ago and after regaining her freedom, she killed the old man, calling out to him.

"What is it?" Alex asked.

Zhu Yun smiled beautifully and said, "Thank you. Thank you for freeing me from that formation!"

"It is ok. No need to mention anything!" Alex smiled and replied.

Zhu Yun said again, "No, I truly want to thank you. Let me officially introduce myself. I'm from the Middle Land. You might not know that the country you reside in is located in a wasteland of the past. In the past, there was nothing here and it was kind of desolate, however, people slowly moved here for some reason and a few countries were established later. But the people of Middle Land still call this place Wasteland because the resources here are really too scarce."

"In the countries of wasteland, it is very difficult to find a single Heavenly Completion Stage martial warrior. Maybe, only those leasers of some big sects are Heavenly Completion Stage martial warriors. However, in the middle land, Heavenly Completion Stage martial warriors can be seen walking on the road like normal people. I mean to say, there are too many Heavenly Completion Stage martial warriors in the Middle Land, and it is all because the resources in the Middle Land is enough to give birth to many Heavenly Completion Stage and above martial warrior."

"In the Middle Land, my Profound Star Sect is a second rate power. And I'm the daughter of the current leader of the Profund Star Sect, Zhu Yun. My Father is a Martial King Stage martial warrior."

Suddenly, realizing something, she stopped for a second and said again, "Oh, you might not know, there are many cultivation stages above the Heavenly Completion Stage. Above Heavenly Completion Stage is Crystal Transformation Stage and after breaking the limit of Crystal Transformation Stage, a martial warrior can step into the Martial King Stage, becoming a Martial King."

Alex nodded his head in understanding.

Previously, when he heard the old demonic cultivator talking about Wasteland and Middle Land, he wasn't able to understand what they were talking about. But he could guess what they were referring to with the word 'Wasteland'!

As for Zhu Yun's identity, he already knew about it because he also heard it from the old man's dirty mouth.

What attracted the attention of Alex was the cultivation stages that Zhu Yun talked about. He didn't know what cultivation stage is above the Heavenly Completion Stage, only now did he know.

Zhu Yun saw Alex's curious face and knew she has successfully attracted his attention. Somehow, she felt happy in her heart. Then she gave a token to Alex and said, "If you ever come to the Middle Land, with this token, you can enter the Profound Star Sect without any problem. You can also meet me after showing this token, keep it well."

After that, she took out another token. This token was called a communication token. With the help of this token, a martial warrior could communicate with other people within the area of a hundred thousand kilometers.

After communicating with someone, she kept the communication token, looked at Alex, and said again with a smile on her face, "I've sent a message to my fiance. My fiance has also come to the Wasteland because of some reason. Knowing that I'm here, he told me he'll come and bring me back to the Middle Land."

Alex nodded his head and was about to say something when Zhu Yun once again opened her mouth and started talking, not giving Alex the chance to say anything.

"This old man slaughtered countless people in the middle land. Before coming to the Wasteland, he had just slaughtered an entire village. For some reason, he didn't even completely absorb the blood of the people he killed and flew to this wasteland in rage!"

Alex smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew why the old man flew in rage. It must be because he broke the plan of the old man.

They both chatted with each other inside the cave for close to two hours. And after that, Zhu Yun's fiance arrived, thanked Alex for helping Zhu Yun, gave Alex another token, and told him he'll know the value of this token after he arrive at the Middle Land. After all this, he left with Zhu Yun for the Middle Land.

After Zhu Yun left, Alex also left the cave, and very soon he left the abyss, arriving at the Dark Edge City.

He thought of directly leaving the Dark Edge City and but he suddenly thought of Neon and Arlo, and stopped in his tracks. Then he decided to first look for them in this city.

He spent a few hours looking for them in every hotel and other place but didn't find them. So, he finally decided to leave.

.....

_Floating Cloud Academy_

Alex once again returned to the academy and after submitting the mission, he received a few hundred contribution points. Then he returned to his courtyard.

When he was submitting his mission, he heard a few people talking about the competition of the outer sect that was about to help tomorrow.

It means, he had stayed inside the abyss for close to three months. This shocked him. Although he had expected that a long time has passed, he never imagined that close to three months has passed.

That abyss was really terrifying. The concept of time there didn't exist at all.

He rested for the entire night and slept comfortably. The next morning, after waking up, he washed up and then went to the square where he fought against the top ten and ninth ranked disciples of the outer sect.

The Outer Sect Competition was held once a year.

One of the reasons why this year's competition was held at this time was to show the strength and foundation of the old disciples of the Floating Cloud Academy to the new disciples and to motivate them to improve.

Of course, this competition wouldn't force the new disciples to participate.

After all, they had just entered the academy not long ago and compared to the old disciples, there was still a gap in their strength.

If new disciples took the initiative to request to participate, it was also allowed.

And Alex was one of those new disciples who took the initiative to go to the square in order to participate in this competition. Well, there was another reason why he came here. He wanted to see the so-called Five Giants, the top five outer disciples of the Floating Cloud Academy.

Of course, part of the reason why he participated in this competition was to show off and gather as many energy points as he could. This competition would gather all the disciples of the Outer Sect at once place.

Apart from that, the elders in charge of the competition will be also present. There would definitely be a lot of treasures present, and he could duplicate all of them.
