Chapter 234: Twenty-Eight Minutes

Zhou QIang appeared by Lin Xu’s side, dealing with the mutated beasts while saying, “Dean, not everyone can have your patience. These students are all full of youthful vigor. Just now, they were insulted and pressured by others. Moreover, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli have a very high popularity in our academy. They first live-streamed the killing of the Nine Infants, then perished with the Three-Legged Golden Crow, only to return from death. They have also consecutively ranked first on the Hidden Dragon Ranking for two sessions, doubling the resources enjoyed by the students. You often talk about Ye Xuan and Su Mengli’s achievements among the students in the academy. Everyone regards them as idols, so when idols are attacked, they feel the same pain. Of course, they are unwilling to fight now.”

Lin Xu’s face changed upon hearing this, wanting to say something but unable to. Being older, he valued the bigger picture, hence he could unhesitatingly confront these mutated beasts to protect these people. However, the awakened individuals in the academy were different, full of youthful vigor and intolerant of any opposition. In their eyes, whether it was Ye Xuan, Su Mengli, or the awakened individuals from the martial world, they did nothing wrong. Why should they be attacked? Why should they be pressured? When there’s no trouble, they come to cause chaos, to pressure us. Now that the mutated beasts have appeared and are about to prey on humans, they want us to go out and protect them? Where in the world does such a good thing exist?

Therefore, although Lin Xu was anxious at the moment, he couldn’t blame the students in the academy for their choices. Fortunately, Long Hanjie’s Ancestral Dragon’s True Body was indeed powerful and very useful in dealing with these foot soldiers, combined with the teachers from the academy and Lin Xu’s assistance. Although the troublemakers continued to die, at least it was not like in the beginning when they were devoured by the mutated beasts like a buffet. They now had some resistance, and the rate of casualties had slowed down significantly.

As time passed, with the number of mutated beasts being too many, and with less than ten people to rely on, none of them were powerful elemental ability users like in dreams. Therefore, the total number of mutated beasts they managed to kill was less than one-fifth. In contrast, more than half of the troublemakers had already died or been injured, and their numbers were decreasing.

In the dormitory, Su Mengli asked, “Ye Xuan, when do we make our move?” Ye Xuan glanced at his phone and replied, “From the start of the trouble to the mutated beast attack, it has been a total of twenty-eight minutes. And from the mutated beast attack until now, twenty-five minutes have passed. Wait for three more minutes, and after that, we’ll start clearing out the mutated beasts.”

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Su Mengli nodded slightly and said, “Alright, since they caused trouble for twenty-eight minutes, let them endure for twenty-eight minutes under the mutated beasts. Those who survive are lucky, those who die deserve it.” Su Mengli wasn’t as generous as the Empress, but she aimed to enhance her strength to protect China and its people. However, the people she protected had to be law-abiding citizens, not troublemakers who sought chaos.

Zhou Yun also smiled and said, “This method is good, let’s go with that.” Immediately, Ye Xuan posted what he and Su Mengli had said in the academy’s communication group. Soon, other awakened individuals in the academy responded, “I support Ye Xuan! Let’s act in three minutes!”

“I support Ye Xuan! Let’s act in three minutes!” The same words were repeated by hundreds of people in the group, all feeling a surge of determination. Now, Ye Xuan’s proposal for the troublemakers to endure twenty-eight minutes under the mutated beasts satisfied everyone, and they all expressed their agreement.

As time passed, more troublemakers were killed by the mutated beasts one after another, many of them becoming meals for the beasts without leaving a trace of their bodies. Finally, after twenty-eight minutes, the awakened individuals from the academy’s dormitory building walked out. Ye Xuan and Su Mengli led the way, followed by Zhou Yun, Qin Kai, Xia Mo, and others. Behind them were the awakened individuals from the Magic City Awakening Academy, walking out in a grand manner.

The attacking mutated beasts all turned their attention to Ye Xuan, Su Mengli, and the others, feeling an inexplicable chill. At that moment, Ye Xuan said to Su Mengli, “It’s up to you now.” Su Mengli nodded slightly, and the surface of her body was covered with nano battle armor, quickly enveloping her body. Next, a layer of red Lotus Fire appeared on top of the nano armor.

Then, all the thermal weapons of the nano battle armor on Su Mengli’s body emerged, and countless ammunition poured out. These pills were blessed with the power of the Flame Red Lotus and were shot towards the group of mutated beasts. The aiming and firing system of the nano battle armor had its own positioning and aiming functions, so Su Mengli didn’t need to worry about it. The targets of these ammunitions were the scattered mutated beasts.

With precise strikes and the enchantment of the Flame Red Lotus, Su Mengli’s killing effect on these mutated beasts was astonishing. After just one round of all-around coverage, ninety-eight percent of the attacking mutated beasts were killed on the spot, with only a few managing to survive, who now felt the situation was not in their favor and scattered to escape.

Lin Xu, who was fighting the mutated beasts, suddenly saw a group of mutated beasts around him being hit by shells, then quickly caught fire and soon lost their vitality. He was stunned and looked around. The battle ended the moment Su Mengli appeared, leaving Lin Xu somewhat lost. Had he been surpassed by the students?

Long Hanjie also looked at Su Mengli in shock, thinking, “Truly worthy of the SSS-class Flame Red Lotus on par with mine? These people with instant abilities are too strong, aren’t they?” It seemed that Su Mengli’s growth during this period was indeed terrifying.

Awakened individuals with SSS-class talents became stronger as they progressed, ultimately surpassing those at the SS class. At this moment, only about a third of the troublemakers who survived were left. A middle-aged man in a suit was holding the body of a middle-aged woman, crying bitterly. He glared at Su Mengli and said, “Why did you only act now? Why did you appear only now? My wife just celebrated her thirtieth birthday, and my son is only four years old. You made me lose my wife, made my son lose his mother. You deserve to die!”
