168: Something feels off.

Pengcheng University, testing grounds.

Lu Yuan recounted the Ancient Professionals' attempt to kidnap Jiang Tianxia.

"The Great Shun Dynasty wants to win over the Jiang Family?"

Lao Qiyuan shook his head.

"Ridiculous, the Jiang Family is a military family; there's absolutely no possibility of them being won over!" Lao Qiyuan's tone was firm.

In his opinion, there were two reasons for kidnapping Jiang Tianxia.

Jiang Tianxia was one of the five young people, and secondly, the Jiang Family was a top family in Huaxia.

Chu Wushe couldn't be won over; he was the son of the Alliance Master of the Thunder Alliance.

As for Lu Yuan, it was even more impossible.

Don't forget that Prince Mu Qianfeng died at Lu Yuan's hands not long ago!

"As long as we find the master of silent break, the five young people will be complete," Lu Yuan's thoughts were clear.

The Imperial Advisor of the Great Shun Dynasty's prophecy clearly stated:

The five young people are Practitioners who awakened this year, and only together can they turn Blue Star upside down, or even unify Blue Star!

If they can't have them, they'll destroy them—this was the Great Shun Dynasty's current thinking.

They wanted to kill one of them: himself, Chu Wushe, Jiang Tianxia, or Han Junchen.

That way, the prophecy would cease to exist!

"I'll go to the Imperial Capital immediately and report this to the Supreme Alliance Leader." Lao Qiyuan left in a hurry.

The Seven Alliances and One Hall had been searching the world for the five young people, and now the truth was out.

The urgent task now was to find the master of silent break!

"Let's go, you're sleeping at my place tonight," Lu Yuan said to Chu Wushe.

They were to head to the No Mans Land together tomorrow morning.

Time flew by, and dawn was breaking.

On the training ground, Lu Yuan looked at the thirty Domain Realm Expert instructors on standby.

Beside them stood Vice Principal Zhan Shoucheng and Vice Principal Liu Ruixiang, both Saint Realm.

"Principal Lu, you're up quite early." Fu Dechang arrived with his subordinates from the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce.

There were two to three hundred people in total, with varying cultivation realms.

Some were in the Qi Refining Realm, others in the Xuan Gang Realm.

These people were professionals specializing in mining artifact refining materials.

They only needed to focus on mining, leaving the protection work to Pengcheng University.

After all, the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce had spent three billion, and Fu Dechang was very satisfied with the lineup Pengcheng University sent.

So many powerful experts were enough to walk unhindered in the No Mans Land!

Lu Yuan and Fu Dechang walked side by side, leading the two to three hundred strong team majestically into the Teleportation Array.

Upon arriving in the No Mans Land, Lu Yuan first chose the largest artifact refining materials mine.

"Tsk tsk tsk, such a large area of Frost Jade; extracting it will surely make a fortune."

The cold was biting!

Before them was a depression, and the fierce beasts within a ten-mile radius were quickly cleared out.

Feeling the sudden drop in temperature, Fu Dechang caressed the artifact refining material, Frost Jade.

"Principal Lu, once the net profit from extracting the Frost Jade here is calculated, I will immediately give you seventy percent of the money," Fu Dechang said.

Lu Yuan stretched lazily.

He wasn't afraid of the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce going back on their word; after all, the contract had been signed.

The thirty Domain Realm Expert instructors were diligent, protecting the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce staff as they set up a small Defensive Array.

Only when the small Defensive Array was established could mining officially begin.

A sapphire barrier enveloped the sky.

The Defensive Array was completed by noon, and Lu Yuan didn't linger, heading to the second artifact refining mine according to the map.

Then the third, the fourth... "It's going smoothly, isn't it?" Fu Dechang rubbed his hands, his eyes filled with a longing for money.

"Vice President Fu, how much money did your boss reward you for developing the artifact refining materials mines?"

Lu Yuan asked.

"Money is secondary," Fu Dechang's answer surprised Lu Yuan.

"Everyone in the chamber of commerce, from top to bottom, hopes to earn as much money as possible, for only then can we become stronger."

Fu Dechang said.

"Because of yourPresident's top-grade spirit artifact?" Lu Yuan thought of Lao Qiyuan's words.

The boss of the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce had a top-grade spirit artifact whose effect was linked to money.

It seemed that not only did the user benefit, but the chamber of commerce employees also benefited!

Fu Dechang smiled without speaking, but wondered how Lu Yuan knew.

It was now the eighth artifact refining materials mine, and the Defensive Array was about to be completed.

Roar—

A lion's roar echoed!

Hearing the deafening lion's roar, the Pengcheng University instructors didn't react much.

The Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce staff gulped.

"A Transcendent Realm demon king!" A staff member's legs trembled with fear.

Their realms were generally in the Qi Refining Realm and Xuan Gang Realm, primarily responsible for building Defensive Arrays and mining artifact refining materials.

Seeing a Transcendent Realm demon king leading the charge, they were all petrified.

With the Defensive Array not yet completed, it meant they could only wait for death when facing a Transcendent Realm demon king.

"Do your jobs properly! What are you panicking about with Principal Lu and the Pengcheng University instructors here?!" Fu Dechang said.

Lu Yuan looked at the snarling, human-speaking Earth Fiend Lion.

The Earth Fiend Lion could cultivate up to the Domain Realm.

One could judge the realm of this fierce beast by the length of its mane; this Earth Fiend Lion was a Four-Star Transcendent Realm.

"How dare you touch our demon race's artifact refining mines!" The Earth Fiend Lion roared repeatedly.

As it roared, the Earth Fiend Lion realized something was wrong.

Domain Realm Experts, and more than thirty human Domain Realm Experts.

Leading them were three Saint Realm experts!

Earth Fiend Lion: "???"

"I'll do it!"

Just as an instructor was about to make a move, Chu Wushe's expression became excited.

blood scythe appeared!

Seeing this, Lu Yuan allowed Chu Wushe to break through to the Transcendent Realm.

"Protect the master!"

The ten great calamities appeared, Nine Vipers commanded.

When Lu Yuan and Chu Wushe broke through to the Transcendent Realm, one would temporarily become an ordinary person.

Lu Yuan was currently in that state, but the ten great calamities were still Law Realm Six-Star!

Seeing Chu Wushe break through to the Transcendent Realm, everyone present was stunned.

"How did his realm suddenly skyrocket?" Vice Principal Zhan Shoucheng's tone was puzzled.

"It should be related to Principal Lu; his realm has disappeared."

Fu Dechang said.

However, in the next second, both their brows furrowed.

Lu Yuan's blue pupils stared at the Earth Fiend Lion, instantly causing it to lose its spiritual power!

Zhan Shoucheng: "???"

Fu Dechang: "???"

Without any effort, Chu Wushe eliminated the Four-Star Transcendent Realm Earth Fiend Lion!

"That simple?" Zhan Shoucheng's mouth twitched.

He could destroy the Earth Fiend Lion with a raised hand because he was a Saint Realm expert.

Lu Yuan and Chu Wushe were different; these two were merely in the Law Realm.

Through their cooperation, one's realm skyrocketed to the Transcendent Realm, and the other could make the Earth Fiend Lion lose its spiritual power.

"When they break through to the Transcendent Realm, won't they easily instant-kill Domain Realm fierce beasts?!" Zhan Shoucheng exclaimed.

Fu Dechang beside him nodded in agreement.

"Congratulations, congratulations! From now on, I'll have to call you Principal Chu." Lu Yuan laughed uncontrollably.

Chu Wushe was also laughing.

He didn't expect to fulfill the principal's request so easily.

"Why do I feel like you're happier than I am?" Chu Wushe felt something was off.

"You'll know when we return to Imperial Capital University, Principal Chu."

Pengcheng University had countless trivial matters; Imperial Capital University certainly wouldn't have fewer!

By then, Chu Wushe would probably regret killing this Earth Fiend Lion.

Thinking of Chu Wushe's future scene of sweating profusely and having headaches, Lu Yuan laughed even louder.

"What exactly is he laughing about?"

Chu Wushe fell into deep thought, always feeling that something was strange.
