Chapter 134: Retreat

The golden monkey saw the Kunpeng, which was dozens of meters long, and grinned. Its body also swelled in the wind, transforming into a size equivalent to the Kunpeng in just a few seconds.

The golden staff in its hand also enlarged, swinging towards the transformed Kunpeng, Ye Xuan.

Although Ye Xuan’s injuries on his legs did not transfer to the Kunpeng form, the Kunpeng form could not use the Hammer of the Thunder God, causing Ye Xuan’s power to decrease significantly.

However, the Kunpeng form also had its advantages. In this state, Ye Xuan’s speed surpassed many previous class. (PS. The Kunpeng is basically a Roc)

Taking full advantage of his speed, Ye Xuan’s tens of meters long body swiftly dashed forward, his sharp wings slashing at the Monkey King’s body.

Although the Monkey King’s speed couldn’t match Ye Xuan’s, its combat instincts were formidable.

Realizing it couldn’t catch up to Ye Xuan, the Monkey King immediately went on the offensive, using its golden staff to deflect Ye Xuan’s wing strikes with minimal movements.

The clashes between the Kunpeng’s wings and the golden staff resulted in only one out of ten of Ye Xuan’s attacks being effective. However, the Monkey King’s defense was strong, causing only superficial wounds.

Facing a speed-based opponent like Ye Xuan, the Monkey King became increasingly agitated as it couldn’t keep up.

Roaring, the Monkey King abandoned the pursuit of Ye Xuan and instead swung its long golden staff towards other students from the Awakener Academy.

Ye Xuan’s expression changed. This time, he couldn’t avoid it. In his Kunpeng form, he used his wings to block the strike.

While the Monkey King remained motionless, Ye Xuan, in his Kunpeng form, was sent flying back seven to eight meters by the force of the blow.

Evidently, without the Thunder God’s Hammer, Ye Xuan’s Kunpeng form was overpowered by the Monkey King.

Seizing the opportunity, the Monkey King leaped up and struck down with its staff once more.

Fortunately, the Monkey King couldn’t speak. If it could, it would bear too much resemblance to the legendary Sun Wukong from the China mythology…

At that moment, a scream rang out as one of the six-tailed white foxes had two tails burned off by Su Mengli’s Flame Red Lotus.

It managed to sever its own tail just in time; otherwise, the fire would have consumed its body as well.

Su Mengli, now transformed into a phoenix with the power of the fire, charged towards the six-tailed white fox.

Seeing its companion injured, the Monkey King disregarded Ye Xuan and rushed to the white fox’s side, using its staff like a propeller to shatter the Fire Phoenix.

Although the Monkey King was the core of their fighting force, the white fox represented the core of intelligence. Even the Monkey King followed its commands.

It realized that they were facing foes they couldn’t handle, especially Lin Xu, who was entangled by Zhou Qiang. If Lin Xu found a way out, they would be in danger.

Hence, the white fox howled and communicated with the Monkey King.

Glancing at the real estate company’s second-generation rich man whose brain was bursting, the Monkey King agreed to the proposal of retreating with its companions.

Subsequently, the Monkey King roared to the sky, and the other beasts began to retreat.

Meanwhile, the white fox, with only four tails left, released a colorful Soul-Stealing Fart, targeting the students.

The white fox’s Soul-Stealing Fart affected Zhou Qiang even from a distance. Although it was a group attack, due to the weaker overall strength of the students, some managed to dodge it, while others succumbed to the confusion and began attacking those around them.

Chaos erupted as the students of the academy engaged in a brawl.

Lin Xu shouted, “Everyone, disperse immediately, be mindful of your actions, control those who are confused, and avoid casualties!”

Ye Xuan also joined the crowd, swiftly using his Kunpeng form to knock out anyone who was disoriented with a single wing strike.

Su Mengli refrained from acting at this moment. Her Flame Red Lotus could easily turn everything to ashes. With Ye Xuan’s presence, the situation remained under control.

However, time was still required, as the white fox’s last move before leaving had thrown the academy into disarray, making it impossible to pursue the white fox and the Monkey King. They had to let them retreat.

Half an hour after the white fox departed, those who had been subdued or knocked out finally regained consciousness.

Simultaneously, Zhou Qiang, who had been entwined around Lin Xu like an octopus, released his grip on Lin Xu’s body.

Zhou Qiang looked embarrassed, “Dean Lin, I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this…”

Lin Xu waved his hand, “It’s okay. Your abilities were countered. It’s understandable. Is everyone alright?”

The students responded affirmatively. Overall, the skirmish had been thrilling but not too dangerous.

Lin Xu then said, “Everyone has experienced what they needed to. I believe you now have a better understanding of the beasts. Old Zhou, lead the students out. I will continue on my own.”

Lin Xu’s main purpose for coming was to hone the students’ skills and gain experience. He just didn’t expect to encounter such tricky beasts.

Although the Monkey King was powerful, it was the white fox’s psychic abilities that no one among them could counter. With the white fox around, having more people would be a burden.

Lin Xu wasn’t afraid of the white fox’s abilities. With his strength, he could easily resist them. However, he couldn’t help his teammates break free from the control, nor could he harm his allies. Hence, it was best for him to continue alone.

Zhou Qiang understood this and said, “Alright, be careful on your own… Well, let’s be cautious instead. You don’t need to worry.”

With Lin Xu’s strength and abilities, he truly had nothing to fear…

Subsequently, everyone went their separate ways. Lin Xu continued deeper into the area, while Zhou Qiang led the other students back to the academy.

After leaving the Magic Valley, Zhou Qiang said, “Alright, let’s split up. Injured students, come with me to the hospital, while the others can return to the academy.

“Ye Xuan, your leg injury is severe. You need timely treatment; otherwise, you might miss the chance to showcase your skills in the upcoming exchange competition.”

Ye Xuan replied, “I don’t need to go to the hospital. I have my ways to deal with my injuries.”

Zhou Qiang paused, thinking of Ye Xuan’s strange abilities, and said, “Alright, just be careful. Recovering from such injuries won’t be easy.”
