8: Chapter 8 Deserter? Wrong! It's a true god!

Everyone looked at Ye Qing, feeling completely numb!

They were utterly shocked by this battle!

For the first time, they realized that a Spirit Master could fight in such a way!

Such a crushing display of power!

"Brother Ye!"

A boy hurried over, a smile plastered on his face. "Brother Ye, you're so cool! You arrived just in time!"

"From now on, you're my big brother!"

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have all perished here today!"

"..."

In an instant, the boy began chatter away, showering him with flattery.

The other students behind him watched his fawning behavior and secretly called him a sycophant!

Dammit, stop talking!

What you're saying are all our lines!

"Brother Ye, it's all thanks to you!"

"From now on, I will follow your lead!"

...

Sentence after sentence rang out.

Behind them, the Guard Army also looked at Ye Qing and came over. "Young man, thank you so much for this time!"

In Ye Qing's hand,

the yitian sword trembled slightly.

Then, it exited its transformed state.

Zhou Lingxue stood beside Ye Qing. Although she was so exhausted she was on the verge of collapse and her lips had turned pale, her eyes were still filled with excitement!

How did she become like this? What was that sword?!

"Ye Qing, why did I become like this?"

Zhou Lingxue asked immediately.

She was voicing the question that was on everyone else's minds.

Ye Qing then pulled Zhou Lingxue aside and whispered in her ear.

Then, Zhou Lingxue stood there in a daze.

She had actually undergone Ancestral Return yesterday when she was extremely tired!

She had been so overworked that she hadn't even noticed!

She had undergone Ancestral Return and turned into this sharp sword that could cut through iron like butter!

This meant she could completely avenge her parents!

An intense desire to become stronger appeared in her heart.

But!

She also knew her current problem. The duration after transformation was very short, just like last night.

She still needed to be powerful for the duration to last longer!

Only then could she withstand higher-intensity battles!

"Hey! What did you guys talk about!" nearby, students wondered to themselves, but they didn't dare say anything.

Ye Qing glanced at them.

"Alright, let's clean up the battlefield!"

A moment later.

Many crystal cores were extracted.

"Brother Qing, these are the crystal cores of the exotic beasts you just killed. They're all yours!"

Ye Qing looked at the largest crystal core, which was about the size of a fist. This!

This was the crystal core of a fourth-tier Silver-Backed Giant Ape!

And there were other third-tier crystal cores!

Ye Qing directly collected all the crystal cores.

"Mm." Ye Qing looked around. "Bring the remaining flesh and blood back too!"

This flesh and blood were also good things. Although the most valuable part of an exotic beast was the crystal core, the meat and fur could still be sold for some money.

"Sure thing, Brother Qing!"

At this moment, these people were like Ye Qing's little sycophants, showing no resistance to his words.

Everyone dragged the exotic beast carcasses toward the place where the others were.

"I wonder how the battle on the Captain's side is going."

"Our Teacher Xu is one of the fifth-tier Powerful Experts and went over there to provide support. They should have finished before us!"

"Let's head back first! You're all injured, so it's not good to keep fighting now!"

Meanwhile.

Here, near the gathering point.

Xu Bing and the others had also returned.

However, everyone was covered in blood, and there were many casualties, especially among the Guard Army.

Xu Bing looked at Wang Tingting here and wanted to say something, but in the end, it only turned into a sigh.

Wang Tingting also knew what Xu Bing wanted to say, and she cast a resentful glance at Lü Li!

This guy was truly useless.

Afterward, she also began to feel regret.

She hadn't expected Ye Qing to bring her such timing and control. She had previously thought Ye Qing was useless and only knew how to be a freeloading soft rice eater.

She was wrong, truly wrong!

Once Ye Qing returned this time, she would go and propose getting back together!

As it turned out, she and Ye Qing were the better match!

"Teacher Xu, you're back!"

"How are you? You aren't injured, are you?"

"The blood on your bodies?"

"Quick, take a rest."

...

The students who had stayed behind saw Xu Bing return and immediately crowded around, asking questions.

"Hurry and take care of the injured first."

"Has that other team returned yet?"

"No, only you guys have returned first!"

This sentence made Xu Bing's heart skip a beat. Oh no!

As expected, without one of the Powerful Experts guarding that side, it would likely be difficult to deal with those exotic beasts!

"Let's go, we're going over to provide support!"

Hearing this, the Captain of the Guard Army also forced himself to muster his strength.

"Those of you with strong enough strength, follow me," Xu Bing said.

"Where's Ye Qing!"

Xu Bing searched for Ye Qing. The situation was urgent and they were severely short-handed. He could only take Ye Qing along and see the situation once they arrived.

"Ye Qing ran away!"

A young man spoke up immediately.

"What do you mean? What do you mean he ran away? Where did he go!"

Xu Bing frowned and stared at the student, questioning him.

"He probably deserted! He was so scared he ran back inside the Barrier!"

"He ran really fast!"

"Not long after you left, Teacher, he ran away!"

"He's only good at being aggressive toward our own people, but he wimps out when facing exotic beasts!"

"We must give him a disciplinary action when we get back!"

...

Immediately, everyone started talking at once.

"Alright! Shut up!"

Xu Bing gave a low shout. Beside him, the Captain walked over. "A student deserted?"

"You don't need to be too upset. In our military, such situations are not allowed to exist. But for you all, especially students with insufficient strength, resisting exotic beasts deserves praise, while fearing them doesn't require condemnation."

"Can you still fight? Go with me one more time?"

"I'm fine. What about you? Can you still make it?" Xu Bing glanced at the Captain, seeing how he was just barely holding on.

"Who are you looking down on!"

Before the Captain could finish.

"Teacher Xu, you guys have already finished?"

A voice drifted over from a distance.

The voice arrived before the person!

Everyone was stunned when they heard the voice!

"Is this... Ye Qing's voice?!"

"How did this guy come back? Didn't he run away?"

"Did his conscience get the better of him, or was he just hiding somewhere before?"

Everyone began discussing, all filled with righteous indignation, looking toward the source of the voice!

After a while, from behind a giant tree,

two figures slowly approached.

It was Ye Qing and Zhou Lingxue.

Everyone looked at them, and then, pair after pair of eyes widened in shock. They simply couldn't believe what they were seeing!

Even Xu Bing sucked in a cold breath.

The members of the Guard Army also looked over and were then frozen in place!

This!

What was that Ye Qing was tossing in his hand?!

A fourth-tier exotic beast crystal core!

Beside him, the Captain couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice!

"Look at what's in Zhou Lingxue's arms!" a student nearby said!

They then looked toward Zhou Lingxue. In her arms, she was holding over a dozen crystal cores. Although each one wasn't as large as the one Ye Qing was tossing, they were still quite big!
