Chapter 81 - 81: Exposed Strength, Astral Helmet
Past the walls of Quicksand Town, a considerable amount of machine guns and turrets were actively shooting the horde. Even so, the exotic beasts still rushed forward like a tide, coming from all directions.
The battle had only lasted for less than an hour, but a thick layer of body parts and minced meat was already piled up under the city wall. After a while, they were trampled into sticky, disgusting meat paste by the exotic beasts that followed.
The situation both outside and inside the city wall was tense.
Countless Sandbirds passed through the city’s air defense net and descended from the sky. Together with the divine blood warriors hiding in the dark, chaos bloomed in the city.
Many high rise buildings crumbled, and the chaos seeped into other towns.
The city guards were constantly putting out the fire, but they could not turn the situation around. Nothing was turning in their favor!
As the situation worsened, some people in the city began to harbor evil intentions and began to fish in troubled waters!
“No, if the situation continues to worsen like this, even if we win the battles outside the city, the inner city will be destroyed by those b*stards!”
On a roof, the principal called for an emergency meeting. His eyes were bloodshot as he spoke to the teachers around him.
Quicksand Tower, Dijing Garden, and Waterbank City were landmark buildings that got destroyed and set ablaze.
The group of powerful teachers had been dragged here by force. They were unable to carry out an effective rescue plan due to the overwhelming number of Sandbirds. Nothing was working for them. They were aggrieved, angry, and powerless.
Zhong Tongshan voiced everyone’s thoughts, but there was nothing he could
In this situation, they were like a flock of powerless sheep being watched by the wolves waiting in the dark. The moment they let their guards down, their lives will be taken!
“It would be great if we had a few espers with Perceptual Domain. Otherwise, we won’t be so passive!”
There were about 40 to 50 teachers in Quicksand High School, and most of them were martial artists.
There were only three teachers, Shan Qiuru and another two that were espers. However, they did not have the Perceptual Domain skill.
The teachers didn’t know what to do.
Just as everyone was at a loss, a student with a sunny face walked over. It was Chu Lingjun.
“Chu Lingjun, what’s wrong?”
“Chu Lingjun, you’ve broken through to Rank Two?”
As soon as Chu Lingjun approached, two teachers spoke over each other.
The former was his teacher, Shen Yanhu, while the latter was the principal, Zhong Tongshan.
As soon as Zhong Tongshan’s voice rang out, the teachers who were originally sitting around immediately turned their eyes to Chu Lingjun.
Chu Lingjun was shocked that someone managed to find out.
He had broken through to Rank Two for a long time, and neither Shen Yanhu nor Shan Qiuru had noticed it.
However, he didn’t expect to be seen through the moment he got close to the principal!
The mark of a Rank Two martial artist was true qi, which had little effect on a martial artist’s appearance. Therefore, if Chu Lingjun did not display it, outsiders would not know if he was a Rank Two martial artist.
The strength of espers was even more obscure. The higher the strength, the stronger the spiritual power and the more spiritual power in the body.
This was also something that others would find difficult to discover if they did not take the initiative to seek for it.
After a moment of silence, Shen Yanhu looked at Chu Lingjun with wide eyes. “You… You’ve broken through to Rank Two? Was it a Rank Two martial artist or a Rank Two esper?”
It had only been two months since school started!
Many first-year students were still struggling to even advance to Middle Stage Rank One, but Chu Lingjun had already broken through to Rank Two!
“He’s Rank Two in both of them.” Zhong Tongshan said with a hushed voice.
Everyone fell silent!
The teachers sitting on the rooftop looked like statues.
They stared at Chu Lingjun with their mouths agape.
Chu Lingjun looked at everyone. He felt a little awkward, but since his cultivation had been exposed, it saved him a lot of trouble explaining why he was here.
“Sir, I have a way to find the divine blood warriors hiding in the dark.” Chu Lingjun walked forward and said word for word.
“Really?” Principal Zhong Tongshan was shocked and then overjoyed.
“However, I need a weapon to help.”Chu Lingjun said.
“As long as we can find those b* stards, even ten spirit weapons will do!” Zhong Tongshan was so excited that he stood up.
Shan Qiuru thought of something and said, “Lingjun, are you saying that you want the Astral Helmet?”o
Chu Lingjun nodded. “After I became a Rank Two esper, the range of my Electric Field reached three hundred meters. With the Astral Helmet, the detection range should expand two or threefold. It will be much easier to find those divine blood warriors.”
The Astral Helmet was a Rank Three spirit weapon. Chu Lingjun had seen it from the information Shen Yanhu had given him previously.
“The Astral Helmet is a Rank Three spirit weapon, and it’s able to amplify the spiritual force of an esper.
“But the higher the rank of the spirit weapon, the higher the requirements for the wearer. You’re a Rank Two esper trying to wear a Rank Three spirit weapon. Your body won’t be able to withstand it, and you’ll suffer a heavy backlash!”
“But I’m also a Rank Two martial artist. My physical fitness is not something a normal Rank Two esper can compare to.” Chu Lingjun smiled.
Shan Qiuru assessed the situation and had forgotten that Chu Lingjun was a dual cultivator.
“Then I don’t see why we shouldn’t give it a try!” Shan Qiuru’s eyes lit up. “Let’s go to school right now. Once you feel a little uncomfortable, I’ll immediately take it off for you!”
“Okay!”
“The smell of slaughter is so enchanting!”
In a luxuriously decorated living room, the winged man laid on the sofa and drank a mouthful of beer.
Around him, there were also a few divine blood warriors lying lazily. They were either drinking beer or eating snacks. Their faces were content and they were relaxed.
Behind their sofa, the owner was on the ground with his eyes wide open. He died before he could close his eyes. Blood slowly flowed out from under his body and accumulated into a shocking pool of blood.
“Sir, when are we going to attack?”
“There’s no hurry. Let the Sandbirds exhaust themselves first. They must be getting very nervous now.” the winged man said indifferently.
“Sir, you have to leave that female teacher to me. I’ll kill her in all the right ways!”
The wretched divine blood man chuckled.
“That’s useless. After we complete this mission and obtain the powerful divine blood, every woman will come crawling at our feet.” The winged man said disdainfully.
The group of people ate and drank their fill in the room. When the sun set, the winged man revealed a sinister smile. “It’s getting dark.. Time to get to work!”
