102: Convergence

"Ah!!"

A piercing scream echoed through the sky.

Zhou Xinyang was patrolling near the temporary settlement.

His graduation project assessment task was different from everyone else's.

As the only Three-Star Martial Artist graduate of the academy.

His duty was to protect the students completing their graduation projects as much as possible.

Therefore, as long as others encountered danger, they could return to the temporary camp to seek his protection.

At this moment, Zhou Xinyang had just killed a Two-star Late Stage savage bull that was prowling around the camp.

With just three punches, he shattered the hard armor on the savage bull.

Stepping on the savage bull's corpse, Zhou Xinyang suddenly heard a scream from afar and couldn't help but frown.

"Is this... Zhuzhu's voice?"

As an Ability User, Zhu Yufang was also bringing along Chen Jie and a few other Two-Star Martial Artists.

In this residential area of Two-star Demonic Beasts, they shouldn't be in danger.

Without time to think about the reason, Zhou Xinyang quickly rushed toward the direction where the sound came from.

In a small forest somewhere.

Zhu Yufang ignored the pain in her calf, looked at Li Canglan with terrified eyes, and put on a fierce facade.

"No, you can't kill me. I am an outstanding student of the Hanghai Advanced Martial Arts Academy!"

"My mentor is a Six-Star Martial Master of the academy!"

"You can't kill me! If you kill me, no one in Luofeng City will be able to protect you!"

Zhu Yufang's words were full of threats.

Luofeng City was merely a satellite city of Hanghai Base City.

In the vast Luofeng City, the strongest person was only a Six-Star Martial Master.

Moreover, their strength was likely not as good as Zhu Yufang's mentor.

If such a powerhouse were to get angry.

Luofeng City would really have to consider if it could afford the consequences!

"Is that so?"

Li Canglan sneered,

"Since that's the case, I cannot let you go even more."

It was not hard to see from the resentment in Zhu Yufang's eyes.

She would absolutely not let this matter rest.

Once Zhu Yufang was let go, he might instead invite disaster.

Conversely, if he killed Zhu Yufang, her so-called mentor would not be able to find him.

Moreover, this place was already deep in the wilderness, and the distance from Luofeng City and Shanyang City was almost the same.

How could that person conclude that it was someone from Luofeng City who killed her?

At the same time, Li Canglan vaguely felt a sense of crisis rising from the bottom of his heart.

Not giving Zhu Yufang a chance to say any more harsh words.

Li Canglan drew his fangtian halberd and slashed across Zhu Yufang's throat.

A look of horror appeared on Zhu Yufang's face.

"My... mentor... will not let you..."

Before she could finish her words, she took her last breath.

Li Canglan's internal alarm bells rang loudly; he had no time to loot the corpse.

He directly threw Zhu Yufang's corpse into his space ring.

Immediately after, he did not choose to burst into speed, but instead concealed his tracks as much as possible.

To avoid becoming the other party's target!

Li Canglan quickly moved through the forest.

Soon, he saw a cave on a small hill in the distance.

Li Canglan immediately rushed into the cave and pushed a huge rock to block the entrance.

On the other side, after Zhou Xinyang arrived at the battlefield, he did not find Zhu Yufang's figure.

He only saw a pool of blood on the ground.

"Could it be that Zhuzhu has been murdered?"

Zhou Xinyang's expression instantly turned ugly.

From the time he heard the sound to the time he arrived here, it was only a matter of a dozen seconds.

Yet, he couldn't even save Zhu Yufang!

Don't look at his strength reaching Three-Star Martial Artist.

But in the eyes of the academy mentors, his value was far less than Zhu Yufang's!

"Damn it, don't let me catch whoever did this!"

Zhou Xinyang impotently raged and shattered a rock in the distance with one palm.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed a few small paths in the distance.

These were traces caused by a Martial Artist stepping on weeds.

Zhou Xinyang followed one of the small paths in pursuit.

As long as there was still hope for Zhu Yufang to survive, he could not give up!

Li Canglan hid in the cave, and after confirming that Zhou Xinyang did not catch up, he finally felt relieved to check the gains of this battle.

He did not take out Zhu Yufang's corpse immediately.

To avoid the smell of blood attracting enemies.

Li Canglan took out the Meteor Cloud Steps Martial Skill scroll and the captured Heaven And Earth Treasure.

He put his consciousness into the Martial Skill scroll.

This time, unlike the Martial Skill scrolls used before, there was no Martial Artist appearing in front of Li Canglan to demonstrate in person.

"What's going on? Could this Martial Skill scroll be fake?"

Before his voice had even faded, the sound of arrows piercing the air suddenly rang out from afar.

Li Canglan looked back, and his pupils shrank sharply.

Hundreds and thousands of arrows came flying through the air, dense like locusts passing through!

"Damn it!"

Li Canglan immediately wanted to dodge.

But the arrows covered a range of hundreds of meters, so how could he dodge them?

Then, Li Canglan discovered a miraculous scene.

He seemed to have lost control of his body.

His body involuntarily began to move according to a certain movement technique.

Whoosh!

Li Canglan just slightly turned his body and easily dodged the arrows in the front.

Then his body, like a phantom, began to stroll in the rain of arrows!

That's right, it was the feeling of strolling.

Li Canglan had never discovered that dodging attacks could be so easy.

These countless arrows didn't even graze his body!

Next was the endless dodging phase.

Not only arrows, but also fireballs and thunder from Ability Users.

As well as close-range attacks from Martial Artists.

Almost all were easily dodged by Li Canglan.

"Is this the advantage of a high-grade Martial Skill?"

Li Canglan sighed in his heart.

It was not just that the effect was stronger.

Moreover, this Martial Skill was demonstrated from a first-person perspective, making it easier for people to understand.

Of course, this was also because the difficulty of high-grade Martial Skills also increased accordingly.

If it weren't demonstrated from a first-person perspective.

Just to get started, it would probably take a lot of time.

A few minutes later, Li Canglan opened his eyes.

The Meteor Cloud Steps Martial Skill scroll placed on his knees also turned into particles and dissipated.

In just a few minutes, he had mastered the basics of the Meteor Cloud Steps.

If the deceased Jin Hangfeng knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life on the spot.

The reason he still kept this Martial Skill scroll was because he hadn't been able to learn it on the way!

Otherwise, this Martial Skill would definitely not have fallen into Li Canglan's hands.

Since the Martial Skill had been mastered, Li Canglan began to absorb the remaining Heaven And Earth Treasure.

The Raging Wind Thunder Eagle mark slowly emerged above his head.

The fifth emerald green wind-attribute divine pattern began to condense.

...

Academy settlement.

Zhou Xinyang returned here with a gloomy face.

After he sent out the gathering signal, all the students who were not far away rushed back one after another.

"Has anyone of you seen Zhu Yufang and the others?"

After everyone had almost arrived, Zhou Xinyang looked around.

Only the team of Zhu Yufang and Chen Jie was missing.

He held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked in a deep voice.

The students looked at each other, not yet knowing what had happened, and shook their heads one by one.

Zhou Xinyang let out a breath of turbid air,

"Someone has killed Zhu Yufang!"
