299: A true hero

As everyone stepped into the range of the Flesh Altar, the critical moment had finally arrived!

"Everyone stand on it; I will try to activate the Teleportation Altar."

In an instant, the students, completely unaware of the danger, took their places on the Flesh Altar one after another.

At this very moment, the Psychic Mushroom on Classmate Chen Xu's shoulder suddenly bloomed with a faint light.

This light was strange, as if it were a special signal.

"Finally, I have waited for this moment for far too long."

Classmate Chen Xu was unable to contain his inner excitement; he could already see Stana City flowing with blood.

With a wave of his hand, the Flesh Altar in front of him started up with a roar.

Immediately after, a powerful aura was released from the Flesh Altar.

Come out! Alienated Epic-Grade Spirit Beast — Cursed Blue Lotus!

Classmate Chen Xu maintained his arm-waving posture as time ticked away, minute by minute, until several minutes had passed...

"Activate! Activate! Why isn't it activating yet!"

"Activate!!!"

"Uh... Classmate Chen Xu, are... are you alright?"

Up ahead, a few female students asked cautiously.

Classmate Chen Xu was dumbfounded. Why hadn't the Alienated Epic-Grade Spirit Beast come out? Could the Flesh Altar be malfunctioning?

He hurriedly inspected the condition of the Flesh Altar, and the results came out quickly.

The Flesh Altar had no abnormalities; it was even running smoothly, yet it just hadn't summoned the Cursed Blue Lotus.

"What exactly is going on? Where did something go wrong?"

Classmate Chen Xu was full of confusion, his brow furrowed tightly. He remembered clearly that he had set everything up correctly.

Meanwhile, in another part of the Void Fissure World.

Clang, clang, clang, clang.

Black Crystal Miner Wen Xinyi continued to exert force, swinging her pickaxe rapidly, digging hard at the Black Crystal Ore, one strike after another.

However, she was completely unaware that with every piece of Black Crystal Ore she dug up, the power of the Alienated Yao Beasts throughout the Void Fissure World would be weakened by a fraction.

She only knew that Dog Thing could also absorb this kind of Black Crystal Ore.

And with every piece absorbed, she was one step closer to the life of luxury she desired.

"Hehe, slurp."

Perhaps for the Human Race and Beast Tamers of this world, these Black Crystal Ores could be considered lethal.

Even if they were to touch the slightest bit, they would fall into an alienated state and gradually lose themselves.

But in the eyes of Li Jinian, these Ores were undoubtedly a massive fortune!

Li Jinian only needed to refine them slightly to separate the energy within the Black Crystal Ore.

As for the other Impurities, he would never waste them either.

As it happened, wasn't Fellow Countryman Yao Yian in the Evil Cultivator world?

These Impurities were a great tonic for Evil Cultivators; he could just send them to Yao Yian, allowing him to trade them for some treasures in the Evil Cultivator world.

A bit of shuffling around, and it was a guaranteed profit.

Thinking of this, the corners of Li Jinian's mouth couldn't help but lift slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Thus, the twin star mirror awakened its second function: release — Chaos Evil Qi.

The subsequent events need not be mentioned; Black Crystal Miner Wen Xinyi worked hard and successfully collected all the Black Crystal Ore in all the [Reward Locations].

In short, it was a phrase: painful yet happy.

It was a bit tiring, but the moment she thought of a dozen handsome guys with abs, a dozen cute puppies, a dozen bad boys, and a dozen aloof male gods, Wen Xinyi beamed with joy, full of motivation.

Li Jinian was also beaming, with energy constantly arriving in his account.

And after collecting a large amount of Black Crystal Ore, the entire Void Fissure World successfully restored communication with the outside world.

Bzzzt... bzzzt, ding!

"Chairman! The alienation values in the Void Fissure World have returned to normal!"

"Chairman! The emergency escape traction signal has been restored!"

"Quick! Immediately initiate the forced detachment procedure and rescue all the students!"

"Yes! Executing immediately!"

With the operations of the Beast Tamer Association experts, the emergency escape device activated, and all the students in the Void Fissure World were instantly teleported back.

The many students on the Flesh Altar felt a powerful energy fluctuation and were overjoyed, thinking that the "Teleportation Altar" had activated.

"Wuwuwu, finally, we can go home."

"Classmate Chen Xu is truly amazing! You saved us all! You are our great savior!"

"Hahahaha! I knew it; as long as we followed Classmate Chen Xu, there would definitely be no problems."

The moment they slowly opened their eyes, they were already safely back on the playground of the Stana City No. 3 Elementary Beast Taming Academy.

In addition to this group of students, other scattered students who had luckily survived were also successfully rescued.

Clang, clang, Wen Xinyi had just painstakingly dug up a piece of Black Crystal Ore and hadn't even had time to put it into the system space before she was pulled by the teleportation energy.

"No!!! My hard-earned fruits of labor!!!"

Before she could finish speaking, she was also teleported out.

Of course, the moment she was teleported out, that piece of Black Crystal Ore was naturally accepted by Li Jinian with a smile.

After leaving the Void Fissure World, everyone was full of questions about what had happened inside.

All the experts from the Beast Tamer Association began questioning the surviving students one by one, with the most important reference standards being the evaluations of others and the combat recorders.

Besides this, the combat recorders also faithfully recorded the number of Alienated Yao Beasts defeated.

During the questioning process, the students spoke one after another, piecing together their experiences in the Void Fissure World.

When Classmate Chen Xu was mentioned, everyone gave him a thumbs up, praising him for leading everyone to find the Flesh Altar and for activating the teleportation device to save them all.

Many students were filled with gratitude toward him, and quite a few female students blushed, casting flirtatious glances at him.

In everyone's eyes, Classmate Chen Xu was undoubtedly the great savior who had rescued them from danger.

As for other students like Wen Xinyi, they didn't know them at all.

A freeloader! She was just a total freeloader!

The Beast Tamer Association expert in charge of questioning listened to these descriptions, his gaze falling upon Classmate Chen Xu.

"Prince, what should we do?"

"Shut up! Black Knight, don't you dare cause me to expose my identity."

At this moment, Classmate Chen Xu was internally panicked. His original intention had been to break the Seal of the Alienated Epic-Grade Spirit Beast and lure out the Origin-Grade Spirit Beast "Saint Orchid Red Thunder Dragon." At the very least, he could have destroyed most of Stana City, reigniting the war between the Alienation Alliance and the Beast Tamer Association.

He hadn't expected a slip-up in the process, leading to his failure at the last moment.

For now, he could only force himself to remain calm and try his best to hide himself.

"Classmate Chen Xu, tell us in detail about the situation inside the Void Fissure World."

The eyes of the Beast Tamer Association experts were full of admiration; they were extremely satisfied with Classmate Chen Xu's performance.

In their view, it was thanks to Classmate Chen Xu stepping forward that most of the students were able to survive.

Classmate Chen Xu hurriedly denied it, but this action was seen by others as a display of humble refusal.

"No, no, no, Classmate Chen, you don't need to be humble."

"Classmate Chen Xu, you are a hero deserving of the title!"

And just as Classmate Chen Xu was being fawned over by the crowd like a hero, within the ranks of the students, Wen Xinyi was glaring at him from afar, angry.

Damn it! I hadn't gathered enough resources yet!

It's all your fault! I'm going to draw a circle and curse you!

Most students had made it out, but there were still quite a few students who, like many pioneers in the history of Beast Taming civilization, remained in the Void Fissure World forever.

These were the events from a year ago; life had returned to normalcy since then.

However, in subsequent investigations, the Regional General Beast Tamer Association found an emblem of the Alienation Alliance within that Void Fissure World.

...

Withdrawing his gaze, Li Jinian finally turned his attention toward Fellow Countryman Zhao Kaishan.

Ah, no, now it should be Fellow Countryman Zhao Zheng...
