Chapter 202: Chapter 188: The Mark of Fel Energy, Targeted by the Abyssal Lord!_2

“`

“Whoa, the new students this year are quick on their feet, eh? In such a short time, they’ve wiped out the Lord Boss inside Abyssal Castle. Not bad at all.”

“Tornado of the Winds!”

“Protection of the Holy Light!”

“Water Tide!”

The first four teachers who ran out, two of them raised their hands directly toward the new students in the castle.

The wind element formed a gigantic vortex that, in the blink of an eye, turned into a massive tornado surrounding the entire castle, lifting all beings and sweeping them into the eye of the storm.

The light element created eggshell-like barriers encasing all the new students, protecting them within so they were unharmed by the ravaging tornado.

The water element generated waves that created a current within the tornado, propelling all the students cocooned in the Holy Light eggshells towards the spatial rift outside the castle.

All the new students, at this moment, only felt the world spinning around them, their vision darkened, and they each passed out.

It might have been an instant, or eons could have passed, but when they regained consciousness, all the new students were within the canyon where the Abyssal Rift was located.

“All students, immediately withdraw from the Abyssal Rift. This rift will soon collapse. Those who wish to stay in this Abyssal Rift permanently, good luck!”

The teacher’s words echoed in their ears, clear yet filled with a chilling intent.

And of course, there were over a dozen people who witnessed the teachers’ actions, now with looks of utter bewilderment on their faces.

At this moment, Zi Liyuan, with Shen Yurou on his left and Number Two on his right, had a face as pale as death.

Just now, he had been warned by a teacher.

The main issue was the sudden turn of events, especially when the tornado struck, he had without any hesitation released a “Death Dark Arrow” into the air.

This sudden attack almost pierced into one of the unsuspecting teachers, almost resulting in a grave incident of student assaulting teacher.

Fortunately, the teacher reacted quickly and activated a life-saving artifact at the crucial moment, otherwise, they would have tragically fallen to a student’s hand.

Thus, the teacher who had a close shave did not hesitate to unleash a spiritual attack on Zi Liyuan.

And Shen Yurou, Number Two, and Wang Fatty, who were alongside Zi Liyuan, naturally suffered collateral damage.

Lord Zi, whose Soul Value had broken through the two-thousand mark, endured the pain caused by the spiritual attack, headache splitting, but still made it through with little impact.

However, Shen Yurou and Number Two weren’t as fortunate; their Spirit wasn’t as strong as Zi Liyuan’s and were knocked unconscious by the aftershock of the spiritual attack.

As for the unlucky Wang Fatty, he fell flat on his face with a “slap” because he was too heavy, and Lord Zi couldn’t hold on to him, so they let him lie on the floor for a while to recuperate from the spiritual discomfort.

Wang Tie, this fatty, because of the special nature of his profession, had a strong Soul Value as well and had many pet boss soul contracts helping him resist the spiritual attack, so he did not pass out.

However, the side effects he endured after the spiritual attack were more severe than Lord Zi’s to the point where he lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth, body convulsing, yet he remained conscious.

Having suffered an unwarranted disaster, Zi Liyuan was furious, but also made a mental note of that warning.

It’s one thing to hit him, but another to hit his women!

So he took note of this vengeance, believing it wouldn’t be long before he could have a fair and open duel with the teacher who warned him!

Lord Zi’s mind raced wildly; it seemed the rules at Dragon Academy didn’t say anything about not being allowed to strike a teacher for begging, did they?

Just as the crowd of new students was recovering from the spatial displacement and starting to orderly prepare to leave the Abyssal Rift, something unexpected happened again.

“Roar! You damned vermin, even if you escape the Abyssal Rift, this Lord of the Abyss will hunt you down, and grind you all to dust!”

Enormous demonic energy spread in an instant, over a thousand miles, and then one after another demonic mark condensed before all the new students, turning into a dark green streak of light that shot into their bodies.

At the same time, the system alert rang in everyone’s ears.

[Ding, professional is marked by a special demonic mark, when Abyssal demons appear, they will prioritize the marked individual.]

[Ding, professional’s special demonic mark activated, creating spatial coordinates detectable by the Lord Boss Mopah!]

“Damn! Targeted by the Lord of the Abyss?”

At this moment, Zi Liyuan was dumbfounded, his heart filled with resentment.

Who had he offended?

“`

It was just an academy-organized baseline assessment task, but it ended up with a terrifyingly powerful Abyssal Lord leaving his mark on me.

If I were to enter the Sea of Realms, wouldn’t I be hunted down and crushed to dust in minutes?

“Motherfucker, could this get any more screwed up? I just explored the abyssal rift a bit, killed a few Lord Bosses and a bunch of Demons, and now I’m targeted by a powerful Abyssal Lord whose strength is unknown?”

Li Fengwen cursed aloud, thoroughly regretting this expedition that had turned out to be a complete disaster.

Not only did I not gain any benefits, but I’ve also brought a huge trouble upon myself.

Ying Xueji, Zhu Wu, and Liu Shengnan, likewise, did not look too good.

Abyssal Lords are mighty, capable of crushing the likes of us with a flick of their finger, but it’s not fear that grips us; rather, when entering the Sea of Realms, one must be cautious and carry an item to shield one’s own presence.

Otherwise, if an Abyssal Lord genuinely comes knocking before we’ve improved our strength, the price to pay would be beyond our capacity to bear.

Those freshmen who knew the consequences of being targeted by an Abyssal Lord looked as though they had eaten shit, their faces incredibly pale.

Conversely, a group of teachers couldn’t help but let their mouths curl upwards slightly.

Pressure brings motivation. If you’re being watched by an Abyssal Lord and still don’t push yourself to improve, you’re going to have a hell of a time later.

Of course, the teachers of Dragon Academy might exploit their students, but they wouldn’t just watch them get picked off one by one by an Abyssal Lord.

The academy does have items to block and conceal one’s own aura; when the time comes, just spend some Contribution Value to exchange for one.

Everyone passed through the spatial rift one by one, returning to the Dragon Sanctuary.

“The performance of the students present here has been very impressive.

You have all passed this baseline assessment, and I hope everyone maintains this proactive attitude.

As for those students not present, I can only give a failing grade.

Now, for the real entrance test.

That is to ask everyone to find and enter the freshman campus within seven days.

Dear students, take care of yourselves. Your teachers will be waiting for you at the freshman campus.

Good luck~!”

In a moment, the teachers who had just appeared vanished from sight, leaving a wave of stunned students behind.

“Do they really have to do this every year? Is it fun?”

Wang Fatty was trembling, massaging his temples with one hand as he staggered to his feet, his face looking extremely unpleasant.

“Oh, is finding the campus not as straightforward as it seems?”

Dragon Academy didn’t have much information available, and Wang Fu hadn’t provided Zi Liyuan with much intelligence.

Therefore, Li Yuan didn’t know what was so problematic about finding a campus.

“Brother Zi, finding the campus isn’t hard; if you go in one direction, you can get there in three days. The tough part is that the journey isn’t peaceful at all.”

Wang Fatty, desperately massaging his temples to gain some semblance of composure, continued to explain.

“During these seven days, not only do the freshmen have to search for the campus, but they also need to be wary of the bullying from the sophomores.

Every year at this time, the sophomores come to shear the wool, snatching away the Contribution Value from the freshmen’s hands.

Those who can enter the campus without any loss are rare in every cohort.”

Wang Fatty’s explanation made Zi Liyuan’s eyes light up.

This is just perfect timing; it’s like someone is offering a pillow just as I’m getting sleepy!

I had originally planned to beg for alms from my fellow freshmen once I formally enrolled, treating them like leeks to be harvested slowly.

But the Contribution Value in the hands of my fellow freshmen isn’t much right now.

And now, those sophomore seniors are coming to offer warmth of their own accord; they’re really such good people!(〃’▽’〃)~

Sophomore seniors: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻!!!
