68: Chapter 68 A Terrifying Behemoth! Everyone in Danger!
Before he knew it, the train had been traveling for a day.
On the morning of a new day, Su Lin leaned back against the leather sofa seat, sipping his freshly ordered milk tea while reading a book in his hands.
[You drank a sip of milk tea, Qixue + 100]
His current Qixue is 3900 points, and by tomorrow, Su Lin will be able to step into the Fourth Stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.
With no need to worry about his Qixue cultivation, Su Lin began to study the Ten Thousand Races Language.
"Student Su Lin, are you studying the Ten Thousand Races Language?"
Qin Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed nearby, opened his eyes at this moment and looked at Su Lin with curiosity.
Qin Chuan recognized the book on the Ten Thousand Races Language at a glance; many top students in Tianhai City studied the Ten Thousand Races Language.
Some people had mastered a dozen or twenty languages of the Ten Thousand Races within just a few short years.
Su Lin nodded.
"Given your talent, Student Su Lin, you must have learned quite a bit of the Ten Thousand Races Language, right? Would you mind telling me how many you have learned so far?"
Su Lin shook his head, a smile on his face.
"I've been immersed in martial arts training recently, so I've neglected the Ten Thousand Races Language for a long time."
"Up until now, I've only learned a few, let me count..."
"I've probably mastered about thirty-seven of them."
Su Lin said calmly, but Qin Chuan's mouth hung wide open in disbelief.
"How many?"
"Thirty-seven!"
Qin Chuan gasped; he had almost believed Su Lin's previous words, thinking he had learned at most a dozen or so.
He didn't expect it to be thirty-seven! This was truly heaven-defying! Even more exaggerated than any genius in the Ten Thousand Races Language that Qin Chuan knew of.
"Then you are already an elite in the Ten Thousand Races Language, Su Lin. Even if you don't rely on martial arts in the future, you could easily become a researcher in Tianhai City with just the Ten Thousand Races Language, or even join the official government directly; they are very short on talent in that field!"
"The Ten Thousand Races Language is a great asset. Not only does it provide bonus points for the college entrance exam, but if you want to buy a house in Tianhai City, talents in the Ten Thousand Races Language can also receive many discounts."
Qin Chuan continued to explain the situation in Tianhai City to Su Lin.
Su Lin nodded, put down his book, and his mind filled with thoughts.
Indeed, with his current abilities, he could even afford to buy a house in Tianhai City right now.
He could even buy a nice house in the Minan District, the best area in Tianhai City.
This had been Su Lin's dream for over a decade. Now, whether in terms of ability or funds, he met all the conditions; as long as he wanted to, he could fulfill this dream at any time.
"Anyway, there's still time. When I arrive in Tianhai City, I'll go check out some houses in good locations first."
"But I should wait until after the college entrance exam to buy. If my exam results are good enough, maybe they'll just give me a house directly. Getting it for free is even better."
Su Lin felt excited inside and couldn't wait to get to Tianhai City to see what the good houses there really looked like.
Su Lin looked out the window at the scenery passing by, lost in thought.
"I'm about to reach the other side very soon."
His phone vibrated, and Su Lin picked it up to see a message from his younger sister.
"Brother, where are you now? Are you feeling carsick?"
"I put motion sickness medicine in your bag."
Su Lin smiled and replied instantly.
"I'm about halfway there. I'll arrive in two more days. Do you miss me?"
"Your brother isn't carsick, don't worry!"
Su Xiaoyue sent a cute emoji.
"Stay safe, let's talk again when you have time."
Su Lin put away his phone. Just then, the train suddenly shook violently. The piercing sound of the brakes felt like it would pierce his eardrums, and the immense inertia caused items on the train to topple over everywhere.
Besides that, various explosions erupted outside the train, causing it to vibrate intensely.
"Rebel attack!"
Hong Feng's voice, very serious, came over the broadcast, spreading throughout the train.
"All Law Enforcers, disembark immediately and engage in combat!"
"Su Lin, Qin Chuan, and all train crew members, stay on the train. Do not leave the train under any circumstances!"
"I and all the Law Enforcers will ensure your safety."
As soon as Hong Feng finished speaking, all the Law Enforcers from every carriage poured out and rushed outside.
Su Lin and Qin Chuan looked out the window. Su Lin frowned slightly, while Qin Chuan was too shocked to speak.
Outside, dozens of black-robed rebels had surrounded the train on both sides, launching various attacks and bombarding the barrier outside the train frantically.
Even more shocking was that in front of the train, there was a black behemoth over ten meters tall, blocking out the sky. The black behemoth was reaching out a giant hand, grabbing toward the train.
"How dare you!"
A majestic, deep voice rang out. A dazzling figure, carrying earth-shattering momentum, flew directly toward the behemoth.
Hong Feng leaped into the air and struck with a palm, slamming fiercely into the giant hand reaching out from the behemoth.
Boom!
The black giant hand shattered instantly, as if blasted apart by heavy artillery, with countless pieces of black flesh flying everywhere.
The ten-meter-plus behemoth was knocked over a hundred meters away and crashed heavily onto the ground.
Hong Feng landed on the ground, crossed his arms, and looked coldly at the behemoth that had fallen to the ground.
At the same time, thirteen Law Enforcers jumped out of the train windows and engaged in battle with the dozens of rebels.
The attacks bombarding the train ceased instantly, and the rebels were sent scurrying in fear by the Law Enforcers.
"As expected of Senior Hong, he's truly strong. He could take down such a terrifying monster in a single blow."
"The Law Enforcers are also fierce in their offensive. These rebels are no match at all. They scared me just now, but it seems I was overthinking it."
Qin Chuan said, watching the battle outside the train.
In front of the train, Hong Feng looked coldly at the behemoth. Standing on the behemoth was a black-robed person letting out a cold laugh.
"As expected of the Divine Aperture Realm. You were actually able to beat the Heaven-Reaching Beast into this state with a single blow."
"I still underestimated you."
"I am Moss, a Three-Star Master of the Evil Beast Sect."
Hong Feng scoffed and said disdainfully.
"If you don't want to die, surrender obediently and tell me who your boss is and where your nest is, otherwise don't blame my fists for being ruthless."
Upon hearing this, Moss didn't get angry but laughed instead, his laughter even colder.
"Interesting. Do you really think I'm bound to lose?"
"Nonsense. You're just at the Ninth Stage of the Pulse-Opening Realm. Do you really think you can make up for a two-realm gap just by relying on a monster?"
"How would you know if you don't try?"
"Then go ahead and try."
Murderous intent flickered in Hong Feng's eyes. He took a step forward and charged directly at the black-robed person.
A sudden change occurred. The fallen Heaven-Reaching Beast suddenly stood up, and a black gale appeared, directly hindering Hong Feng's speed as he charged.
The Heaven-Reaching Beast let out an angry roar, and its lost right arm grew back immediately. The Heaven-Reaching Beast clasped its hands together, and a huge black bell appeared in its hands.
Bang!
Hong Feng only felt his vision go dark, and the next second, he was trapped under the large bell.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye; Hong Feng was completely trapped before he could even react.
Deafening roars constantly came from inside the bell. Although Hong Feng continuously unleashed powerful attacks, the bell weighed down on him like a massive mountain, pinning him firmly beneath it.
"This is the Black Wind Bell bestowed upon me by the Sect Leader. Although my realm is inferior to yours, relying on this bell is enough to trap you for a while."
"Just listen to the screams outside while you're inside the bell."
The Heaven-Reaching Beast pressed down on the bell with both hands and roared at the sky. Bursts of black gas erupted from its body, flying directly toward the dozens of black-robed people fighting not far away.
In an instant, the black gas merged into the bodies of the dozens of black-robed people, and astonishing changes appeared in each of them.
The muscles on each black-robed person expanded tenfold, bursting through their clothes and turning them into tall, black-furred monsters.
Not only their bodies, but their strength and realms also achieved a leap.
Originally, most of the black-robed people were at the Third or Fourth Stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, while the Law Enforcers were mostly at the Fourth or Fifth Stage, allowing them to easily suppress them.
But now, the strength of all the black-furred monsters was above the Fifth Stage.
In the short moment the change occurred, one Law Enforcer after another was beaten until they spat blood and flew backward.
"Oh no!!"
Qin Chuan's face turned ugly, and he shouted that things were bad.
"Su Lin, let's quickly hide in the rear carriage and wait until Senior Hong Feng escapes..."
Qin Chuan was just about to pull Su Lin away, but he suddenly discovered that the seat where Su Lin had been sitting was empty.
Qin Chuan looked left and right, searching constantly, but he couldn't see a trace of Su Lin anywhere.
