Summoners: One Golden Term per Level
Chapter 186 - 39: Assessment Exam
When Zhu Xiao and Li Cunlong reached the location of the teleportation array, there were already many people present.
The notification about the teleportation array’s failure wasn’t sent to Li Cunlong alone.
"Professor Liu, is there any way to open this passage?"
Li Cunlong’s gaze fell on a man in a gray magic robe, with a white beard trailing on the ground.
Though a mage, he was muscular from his regular workouts, making the gray robe bulge.
Liu Yaming.
A rare profession, Space Magician.
A variant of Space Mage, but with more fanciful skills.
However, skills like the teleportation array, typically mastered by Space Mages, he was still familiar with.
But at the moment, he had a troubled expression.
"Eye of Space, this is the Eye Demon Abyss, a skill possessed by the Empty Nest Eye Mother’s Commander..."
"Something that happened an hour ago."
Silver light appeared in Liu Yaming’s eyes, revealing a large pupil outlined in silver within the teleportation array.
"You are free to use the Sky-breaking Tools from the school, just one requirement: quickly!"
said Zhong Yan, head of the Combat System, anxiously.
This military training involves their most outstanding batch of students this year, with rare professions clustered together.
Most have the potential of Venerables, some even Kings, and possibly Emperors.
Shen Fei, in particular, is almost guaranteed to reach Tier Ten, and if he really perishes inside,
Imperial University wouldn’t be able to face Wu Xia.
"To break it, it’ll take two hours," Liu Yaming said with difficulty, feeling immense pressure.
After Tier Six, the gap between each tier is like a chasm, hence the title with each tier.
Even though he is Tier Seven, dealing with a meticulously crafted lock by a Tier Eight isn’t something he can resolve swiftly.
"Two hours? The food will be cold by then!"
Zhong Yan complained irritably.
In two hours, one at Tier Six can accomplish a lot, especially within the Abyss.
"I..."
Liu Yaming was about to explain that he had already calculated using the school’s Sky-breaking Tools, but it still would take two hours.
Seeing a figure approaching from afar, he shut his mouth quickly.
"Rest assured."
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke.
This seemingly irresponsible remark prompted Zhong Yan, already furious, to curse loudly: "How can I be reassured?
If something really goes wrong, the department head who suggested military training to the Desert Abyss should answer with their life."
"It’s not that serious; you don’t need to atone with your life."
"Who dares belittle it!" Zhong Yan turned back angrily, but suddenly realized the people talking had all stopped.
Liu Yaming kept giving him signals with his eyes.
Zhong Yan swallowed hard, watching a beautiful woman in a tight purple dress approach.
Zhong Yan dared not show the slightest disrespect, speaking respectfully: "Luo... War God."
Luo Ran is known as the War God on Blue Star, the God of War, a title derived from the War School she proposed.
It’s said she single-handedly turned the tide of entire battles.
As of now, all of Luo Ran’s summoned beasts are assisting other Tier Ten practitioners in suppressing extremely terrifying Abysses.
Luo Ran alone is equivalent to multiple Tier Ten professionals.
She is also the cornerstone of Wu Xia’s position as Blue Star’s number one, suppressing the most ’World-Ending Level’ threats.
"Teacher... I."
Li Cunlong was full of guilt.
Luo Ran waved her hand unconcernedly, "Don’t worry, if I’m not mistaken, Su Xiaonizi’s talent is as I think it is."
"Do you think she wouldn’t realize it?"
Luo Ran looked at Zhu Xiao and asked.
Zhu Xiao, who was initially anxious, hadn’t thought deeply, but now, reflecting on Luo Ran’s words, he calmed down.
The ’Mother and Child Jade’ shattering happened over an hour ago, meaning Su Muyu knew there would be an issue long before.
But she still allowed the Demons’ plan to succeed.
Given Shen Fei’s status, taking over Zhenyuan City wouldn’t be an issue.
With the support of the Breaking Abyss Army, he could suppress the professionals in Zhenyuan City with ease, even coming out directly to warn them.
Zhong Yan was at a loss, "So why is this space teleportation array still sealed?"
Though he didn’t fully grasp what Luo Ran meant by Su Muyu’s ability,
According to War God Luo and Demon Slayer Venerable’s statements,
Shen Fei and Su Muyu must be aware of this situation.
Luo Ran chuckled, "That would naturally be to catch a turtle in a jar, preventing external forces from interfering with them."
"Shen Fei going to the Desert Abyss, this intelligence is likely known by many at Imperial University, but if only those at Imperial University knew, Shen Fei wouldn’t resort to such means."
"The only possibility is that something occurred inside, possibly Shen Fei temporarily deciding to enter the second layer of the Abyss, and then being targeted."
"So, Shen Fei must think there’s definitely a demon spy among this teaching staff team, and they hold a high position, calculating all..."
Luo Ran glanced around, "Perhaps he thinks that even notifying Imperial University, the reinforcements might also include a demon spy."
"So, to avoid additional factors from disrupting his plan and interfering with the Demons’ plan, he allowed the Demons to think their plan was successful."
"And he is confident in facing the Demons’ scheme. I recall the Sword King oversees the Desert Abyss."
If a Tier Eight appeared in the first two layers, the Sword King would notice."
"So, the strongest Demonic force this time probably won’t exceed Tier Seven, or at most just Tier Six..."
Since Luo Ran accepted Shen Fei as a disciple,
Her thinking is very aligned with Shen Fei. In a short time, she could deduce the whole scenario from Shen Fei’s point of view.
Everyone was dumbfounded listening to her.
Is this the thought process of the War God Luo?
But Zhong Yan reacted to the fact that this time there would be a demon spy among the team leading the group.
Even among the reinforcements, there could be a demon spy; he, an eighth-tier Warrior, usually undaunted by high heat, could not help but sweat.
"How... how could that be possible?"
If others said this, Zhong Yan might not question it, especially now when all gathered were at least Tier Six.
Each one held significant positions at Imperial University, even professors.
Would it be right to doubt them easily?
But this was Luo Ran speaking; in today’s times, the words of a Tier Ten are gospel.
And what Luo Ran says is the gospel among gospels, in matters regarding the Abyss, Luo Ran’s influence equates to several Tier Tens.
This comes from her strength.
"These matters are yours to handle; a thorough investigation at the university is inevitable,"
Luo Ran stated calmly, as if dealing with internal traitors required her involvement, Imperial University might as well disband.
"I guarantee the mission will be completed. War God Luo, about Shen Fei..."
Zhong Yan nodded.
"He is my newly accepted disciple."
This statement left everyone stunned; Zhong Yan repeated, stammering: "Disciple?"
"Yes, my only disciple. Since changes occurred, it’s just right to consider it a midterm exam for him, and it seems like he did well so far."
