Bingqinru

The students on the bus hadn't noticed yet that the driver of the vehicle, including the Plainclothes Martial Artist, had disappeared.

The black, extended coach seemed to have entered an autonomous driving mode, continuously moving forward.

Suddenly, the young girl who had awakened an SS-rank Special Ability noticed something was wrong.

With a cold expression, her glazed eyes emitted a faint chill that made people hesitant to approach her.

She stood up, looking sharply ahead, clearly having sensed that something was amiss.

Tuoba Shi and Gongsun Qin also noticed the problem; they followed closely behind, appearing behind the girl.

"Bing Qinru, have you detected something?"

Gongsun Qin spoke first. He looked at the girl in front of him. As an S-rank Ability user, he possessed an extraordinary keen sense.

He just felt that something bad was about to happen ahead.

Bing Qinru was her name.

She shook her head. She had only sensed that something was wrong, but she wasn't entirely sure what awaited them ahead.

And the people inside the bus finally reacted.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Huh? Where's the driver? Why is the driver gone?"

"Not just the driver, the Martial Artist who was supposed to pick us up is also gone. This is really uncanny!"

The scene suddenly became a little chaotic. Although they were all Geniuses selected from various regions, they were still a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old children.

When faced with a sudden situation, they immediately became agitated.

"Quiet!"

Bing Qinru said coldly to everyone. She felt a sense of crisis.

"Everyone, get off the bus immediately!"

Under her powerful aura of suppression, the people inside the bus could only obey her instructions.

The bus was forced to stop, and everyone except Lin Xiao got off.

Lin Xiao's actions were observed by them.

Some people who already had an issue with him spoke up.

"Kid, what are you still doing in the bus? Haven't you seen everyone else get off? What, do you want to hide in the bus?"

"Heh, this kid is a low-class person, came out of who knows what corner. He's never seen a scene like this before, probably already wet himself from fear, hahaha!"

"You can say that again, you really can!"

A few teenagers grew more excited as they spoke. They had disliked this kid for a long time.

What class is he?

Does he even deserve to ride in the same car as them?

"Everyone, stop talking!"

Tuoba Shi interjected to stop them, while also looking at Lin Xiao, who was still sitting inside the bus.

He pursed his lips, then spoke.

"Classmate, we are all in the same boat now. You should know that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact."

He was reminding the other party not to throw a tantrum at this time and to follow the main group.

However, Lin Xiao still made no move, still sitting leisurely inside the bus. This made Tuoba Shi feel that he had lost Face, so he snorted coldly and ignored him.

Gongsun Qin glanced indifferently without speaking.

Bing Qinru didn't even look. Her gaze had never focused on Lin Xiao, just like her ice Special Ability; she was naturally an extremely cold person.

Just as everyone was at a loss, a sound came from the ground.

Accompanied by violent shaking, it was as if an earthquake had occurred.

"What's wrong?"

"Why is the ground shaking so much all of a sudden! Could it be an earthquake?"

"It's not an earthquake! It's a pack of Vicious Beasts!" Gongsun Qin uttered with a grave voice.

He had just activated his Special Ability, sensing through his shadow that a large group of Vicious Beasts was approaching them.

"Vicious Beasts!?"

"Why are there Vicious Beasts here? Where are our instructors?"

They were all pampered individuals, like flowers in a greenhouse, who had been doted on since childhood. They had never encountered such a situation.

"There are a lot of them! There must be over a hundred Vicious Beasts!"

"Moreover, I feel that two of the Vicious Beasts are exceptionally powerful, probably at least Second Tier and above!"

Gongsun Qin murmured again with a grave tone.

Tuoba Shi's pupils constricted slightly. So many Vicious Beasts?

He looked at the girl standing at the very front. To be honest, this was his first time seeing such a scene; it would be a lie to say he wasn't panicking.

"Bing Qinru, do you have any ideas!"

Bing Qinru was the strongest among them and also had a military background. They wanted to hear her opinion.

"Everyone, don't panic!"

Bing Qinru said coldly, "Form groups of two, stick together, and don't get separated!"

"You are all Geniuses; show the strength befitting a Genius. The weak are not worthy of entering the Prodigy Training Camp!"

After saying this, she said no more. Having grown up in a military camp, she had witnessed such scenes many times.

Compared to the others, she was much calmer.

Meanwhile, hundreds of meters above in the clouds, several figures appeared.

Among them were the bus driver and the Plainclothes Martial Artist.

"Tsk tsk, I wonder how many Vicious Beasts these little ones will ultimately kill this time."

A man in a black leather jacket stroked his chin, a hint of playfulness in his expression.

"Hard to say. This batch is stronger than the last. The leading girl, is she called Bing Qinru? She truly lives up to her origins; a few words and she controlled the situation."

The middle-aged man next to him pondered for a moment. He personally had high hopes for this batch.

"Alright, everyone pay attention later. They are all those guys' precious darlings. If anything really happens, those guys will come at us with their lives!"

The leading middle-aged man said gravely. His gaze swept towards Lin Xiao, who was sitting inside the bus.

He had vaguely sensed Mental Energy sweeping over them just now, but there were no other people here.

"Mental Energy can only be projected by a Fourth Tier Martial Master. Who could it be?"

"Could it be... this kid?" The middle-aged man shook his head. He must be confused; how could a 16-year-old boy be a Fourth Tier Martial Master, even if he possessed an SSS-rank Special Ability?

Lin Xiao, sitting on the bus, thought to himself, 'As expected.'

"This routine is really cliché!"

"However, I didn't expect it to be Vicious Beasts. Should I just kill them all directly?"

Through his Space-Time Divine Eyes, he saw all the Vicious Beasts.

Too weak.

The strongest was merely a Second Tier Late Stage beast, and there was another Second Tier Mid-stage one. The rest were all First Tier Vicious Beasts.

Lin Xiao was silent for a moment and did not immediately make a move.

Quite a few people had mocked him just now; let them suffer a bit.

What class are they!

After some encouragement, many also mustered their courage and huddled together.

After all, they were Geniuses who had successfully been selected for the Prodigy Training Camp; they wouldn't retreat at the first sign of danger.

"They're coming!"

Someone shouted.

Ahead, dust billowed, countless surrounding trees snapped, and the immense impact even changed the wind direction.

Hundreds of Vicious Beasts charged towards them, the two leading beasts emitting powerful fluctuations.

Bing Qinru's cold Face held a hint of seriousness.

"Leave those two Second Tier Vicious Beasts to me. The rest of you, be careful!"

With that, her Second Tier Early Stage Special Ability spread throughout her body, and a chilling aura enveloped the two Second Tier Vicious Beasts. A great battle was imminent.

"Let's go too!" Tuoba Shi roared hoarsely. His Special Ability was innate Divine Power, naturally possessing strength comparable to Vicious Beasts.

Without another word, he charged forward, confronting a First Tier Late Stage Vicious Beast head-on.

Gongsun Qin also quickly flashed, his Special Ability leaning more towards the bizarre, constantly harassing the enemy.

The rest of the people also huddled together.

A battle between humans and beasts thus unfolded.

The scene was extremely chaotic. The Vicious Beasts outnumbered them. Most of them were at the First Tier Early Stage, with fewer than ten at the Middle Stage, and only two at the Late Stage.

Soon, the human side fell into a disadvantage.

The Vicious Beasts fought more fiercely; they were thick-skinned and tough, and some attacks were merely tickles to them.

On the other hand, many on the human side had already sustained injuries.

"Damn it, why are these beasts so tough? I can't even hurt them. I can't hold on much longer!"

Someone gritted their teeth, still stubbornly holding on!

"Damn it! I'll fight these Vicious Beasts to the death!"

Some people, eyes bloodshot, disregarded their injuries and desperately tried to exchange blows with the Vicious Beasts.

Although they were currently at a disadvantage, not a single person retreated.

They were all Geniuses, chosen from hundreds. Tracing back three generations, their Bloodline contained a blood feud against Vicious Beasts!

"Hmm, not bad, quite spirited!" The middle-aged men hovering in the air nodded. At least for now, these kids' character was acceptable; none had abandoned their teammates and fled.

"Everyone, be careful, don't let anyone die!" The leading middle-aged man spoke again. Those below were the future seeds of the Dragon Kingdom; if they died here, it would be a loss for the entire nation.

Bing Qinru alone held off two large Vicious Beasts, continuously releasing her powerful Special Ability, making the surrounding air exceptionally cold.

Her hands constantly formed seals, countless ice blades condensed, firmly pinning down the two Vicious Beasts.

The two Vicious Beasts fighting her relied on their powerful cultivation and tough hides to withstand the attacks.

But they could only do so much. She had too little mastery over her SS-rank Special Ability to unleash its full power.

Facing two Vicious Beasts with higher cultivation than herself, she could only desperately hold them back.

Tuoba Shi, relying on his powerful physique, single-handedly beat a First Tier Late Stage Vicious Beast to death.

Before he could even catch his breath, another Vicious Beast targeted him.

His internal Special Ability was constantly depleting, and he couldn't last much longer.

Gongsun Qin, with his agile footwork and peculiar fighting style, killed two Vicious Beasts, but his Face was getting worse.

The entire battlefield was becoming increasingly unfavorable for them. The Vicious Beasts fought more fiercely, but many on their side were running out of Mental Energy.

They had to find a way, otherwise, they would surely lose!

But what solution could there be?

He looked at Bing Qinru; the strongest person in the entire team was tied up and couldn't be relied upon.

"What to do! How can we break this deadlock!!!" Drops of sweat appeared on his forehead; even his own internal Special Energy was running low.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon Lin Xiao, who was sitting inside the bus.

"He..."

After much deliberation, he spoke words that even he found hard to believe.

"Friend, if you can, please make a move and break this deadlock!"

Such a loud voice naturally reached Lin Xiao's ears.

He looked at Gongsun Qin, who was staring at him, sensing the firm resolve in his gaze.

It was as if he was saying that they couldn't lose this battle between humans and beasts!

Lin Xiao felt this inexplicable belief in his eyes. He paused for a second, then stood up.

"Good!"

Like Divine Might descending from heaven!

Lin Xiao instantly appeared on the battlefield, one punch instantly blowing up a First Tier Late Stage Vicious Beast.

Everyone was stunned, even stopping their attacks.

Even the Vicious Beasts were momentarily bewildered.

What happened?

What did they just see?
