173: How come I didn't think of that?

Wind, Thunder, Poison, Gold, Fire.

Five great Forbidden Curses surged!

Lu Yuan’s face was pale, his target aimed directly at Yuan Yongfeng.

“Five!” The Pengcheng University Instructors inside the barrier were dumbfounded.

They couldn’t understand where Lu Yuan got so many Forbidden Curses!

It was as if Forbidden Curses were as common as cabbage, but then they realized that none of their many Domain Realm Practitioners had one either.

“Even if he has them, isn’t his Spiritual Power reserve too exaggerated?” Domain Realm Peak Yang Binghong exclaimed.

As he spoke, Lu Yuan controlled the Forbidden Curses to clash head-on with Yuan Yongfeng!

The milky white lightning net fell, the Scarlet Flame Golden Dragon roared, and the Golden Giant Sword was unstoppable!

Roar—

Yuan Yongfeng, a Saint Realm Six-star Thunder Attribute Practitioner, wore a solemn expression.

The Forbidden Curse he deployed was named Sky-Seizing Rushing Thunder, and he held a massive Lightning Bow tightly in his hand.

Drawing the bow and nocking the arrow was done in one smooth motion!

“I refuse to believe that a Forbidden Curse cast by a Transcendent Realm Practitioner is stronger than mine in the Saint Realm!” Yuan Yongfeng shouted hoarsely.

The Lightning Arrow collided head-on with the milky white lightning net, piercing right through it.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Yongfeng burst into maniacal laughter.

However, the next second his smile froze, for after piercing the lightning net, there was still the Scarlet Flame Golden Dragon.

This time, the Lightning Arrow collided with the Scarlet Flame Golden Dragon and was instantly annihilated.

Bang—

The air rippled layer after layer, a Lightning Storm Magnetic Field appeared out of thin air, and Golden Scarlet Flames ignited.

The ground cracked within a ten-mile radius, and bottomless pits spontaneously appeared.

The barrier condensed by the thirty Instructors visibly dimmed, and the protected staff members were terrified.

They, being Qi Refining Realm and Xuan Gang Realm Practitioners, were as small as ants at this moment; even a trace of the Golden Scarlet Flame would turn them to ash!

The Instructors' expressions were also quite grim.

“A Forbidden Curse, this is a Forbidden Curse!”

Domain Realm Peak Yang Binghong, the strongest among them, spoke with yearning.

It was clearly Lu Yuan and Yuan Yongfeng clashing, yet they, as bystanders, were nearly affected!

Yuan Yongfeng’s pupils dilated as he watched the Golden Giant Sword descend.

His guess was correct.

Lu Yuan was in the Transcendent Realm, and he was in the Saint Realm.

Even with the same Forbidden Curse, the Saint Realm was much stronger than the Transcendent Realm.

The key was that Lu Yuan cast five Forbidden Curses, while he only had one!

“Lu... Lu Yuan, I don't want the Artifact Forging Materials or the Mineral Map anymore, and I can also overlook the matter of you killing my Younger Brother.” Yuan Yongfeng took out a Bronze Armor and put it on, speaking very quickly.

“How about we turn hostility into friendship?”

Yuan Yongfeng, whose forehead was covered in sweat, actively begged for mercy.

This was too insane!

He never dreamed that one day, he would actually be defeated by a Transcendent Realm Practitioner!

“You just know you’re about to die,” Lu Yuan sneered.

“No, Lu... Lu Yuan, wait!”

Having lost all other options, Yuan Yongfeng instinctively raised his arm to block.

The Golden Giant Sword descended!

Bang—

The High-Grade Defensive Spiritual Artifact, the Bronze Armor, shattered. First his right arm, then his left arm, then his calf... Yuan Yongfeng watched his limbs turn into minced meat!

“That’s too brutal!”

The Pengcheng University Instructors were alright; they had rich combat experience and had seen too many gruesome sights.

The Engineers and staff of the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce, who usually worked in Safe Cities, bent over and vomited, their faces turning paler than the next.

Especially witnessing the messy things squeezed out of Yuan Yongfeng, the more they looked, the more disgusted they felt.

But they just couldn't help wanting to look!

“Even a Saint Realm Expert is no match for Lu Yuan?” Chu Wushe ignored the babbling Artifact Spirit beside his ear.

Yuan Yongfeng was a Six-star Saint Realm Expert with the Thunder Attribute!

A Saint Realm Practitioner holds a high position among the Elders of the Seven Alliances and One Hall, belonging to the Core Elders!

“You’re already a freak, breaking through to Law Realm Three-star in the first year of your Awakening, but Lu Yuan is even more of a freak!”

“Two freaks, but unfortunately, you’re not as much of a freak as Lu Yuan!”

Hearing the Artifact Spirit’s words, Chu Wushe curled his lip.

The word ‘freak’ sounded strange.

“The Patriarch is dead!”

“Big Brother!”

Seeing Yuan Yongfeng die under Lu Yuan’s Forbidden Curse, Yuan Tianqi and the Yuan Family Members cried out in grief and indignation.

“Since you’re so sad, why don’t you go accompany Yuan Yongfeng?” Lu Yuan said.

The Pengcheng University Instructors: “...”

The Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce staff: “...”

Were these words spoken by a 37 Degree Mouth?!

Why did it feel like Lu Yuan was the Great Villain, and Yuan Yongfeng and the Yuan Family Members were the good people who were cruelly murdered?

The Poison Dragon rushed towards Yuan Tianqi, and constant, Powerful Winds rushed towards the Yuan Family Members from all directions.

Screams of agony and pleas for mercy rang out.

On the other side, Vice Principal, Liu Ruixiang, and Fu Dechang finished charging their Forbidden Curses.

Before Lu Yuan's arrival, they were at a disadvantage in terms of the number of Forbidden Curses.

Now that Yuan Yongfeng was dead, coupled with the assistance of Lu Yuan’s Poison Dragon, the battle had no suspense!

There was another violent explosion.

Four Saint Realm Experts and forty Domain Realm Experts fell on the spot!

“Damn it, we almost perished here!”

After the great battle, even the usually steady Vice Principal couldn't help but curse.

That was too thrilling!

If Lu Yuan hadn't turned the tide, first by killing that Six-star Dark Attribute Practitioner.

Then taking out the dragon blood crystal, and finally reversing the situation by casting five Forbidden Curses, they would have been completely wiped out!

Not just Vice Principal, Liu Ruixiang, and Fu Dechang, but also the Pengcheng University Instructors all breathed a sigh of relief.

“Principal Lu, we owe this to you.” Fu Dechang looked grateful.

Lu Yuan waved his hand.

“Was spending three billion worth it?”

“Worth it!”

Fu Dechang nodded heavily.

This three billion was absolutely worth spending.

The Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce staff brought a Defensive Array on this trip, which was incredibly expensive.

If it were snatched away, the loss to the Chamber of Commerce would be enormous!

Lu Yuan smiled and took out a dragon blood crystal to recover his Spiritual Power.

In any case, he was completely burned out; his Spiritual Power was thoroughly drained!

After surviving the ordeal, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

storage rings!

storage rings were scattered all over the ground, fifty in total!

The atmosphere suddenly became strange; the Instructors stared at the storage rings with longing eyes.

Although they were paid to protect the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce, they almost lost their lives in this battle.

They should have a share of these Spoils of War.

Vice Principal keenly realized this point, rubbing his aching forehead.

The Instructors were mostly safe, but six of them were severely injured and urgently needed treatment.

Treatment was easy to solve; they just needed to be rushed to the nearest Supply Point.

The key was, how should the Spoils of War be distributed?

Fifty storage rings weren't even enough for two per person.

Moreover, who knew which items inside the storage rings were good and which were bad?

“Principal, what do you think?”

“Principal Lu, what do you say?”

Vice Principal and Fu Dechang spoke simultaneously, looking straight at Lu Yuan, who was recovering his Spiritual Power.

Lu Yuan’s eyes flickered.

“Principal, however you say to divide it, we have no objection!” an Instructor said.

“Alright.”

Lu Yuan replied, thinking that they might say that.

If the distribution wasn't done well, everyone would definitely be unhappy.

“Why don’t we wait until we get back?”

Seeing that Lu Yuan was slow to offer a solution, Vice Principal suggested.

“No, let’s divide them now!” Lu Yuan condensed his Spiritual Power.

Over fifty storage rings floated in the air.

Vice Principal and Fu Dechang exchanged glances, worried that Lu Yuan's proposed method would cause objections.

However, after hearing Lu Yuan’s distribution method, a single thought appeared in both of their minds.

“Why didn’t I think of that!”
