Late at night, Luo Cheng international school was still brightly lit and thousands of Daoyuan students had an emergency gathering. Only a few were still uncontactable.
Each class teacher did a headcount and a total of 20 rows of students were lined up under a huge searchlight. Lu Shu whispered to Jiang Shuyi, “Do you know what it is?”
“Remains have surfaced and we responsible for the security,” Jiang Shuyi replied seriously. Lu Shu suddenly thought that Jiang Shuyi’s serious face was quite cute… Hehe, damn this is a guy!
Lu Shu asked curiously, “Do we go inside the remains?”
“Not inside, just around the border. Even a Class E like me might not able to protect myself and not to mentioned Class Fs,” Jiang Shuyi said.
That made sense. A part of Daoyuan class had already obtained superhuman strength and a few hundred pounds were no problem to them. And there were also students with strength second only to Xi Fei & co- Jiang Shuyi, Liu Li and so on.
But they were still only students and didn’t have any experience. Xi Fei & co’s advantage was that they went through proper training and was definitely more accustomed to battles compared to the students.
And so, Daoyuan students were still not up for the real task and asking them to go into the remains was suicidal.
“Speaking of which, what exactly were these remains?” Lu Shu had heard the term remains so many times but still never figured out what exactly remains were.
“I’m also not sure but I do know that wherever ancient remains resurfaced in the world, it would attract countless experts to come and rob the items inside. There’s herbs and spiritual instruments but the most important thing was something known as the ancient relic. When someone removes the relic, the remains would disappear and this was the most valuable object there,” Jiang Shuyi explained, “I heard that a big change is about to happen tonight. Previously, one site of remains resurfaced in the country but it was in the desert and did not attract much commotion. Class Bs from outside were stopped at the borders but there were some Class Cs and Ds that created trouble. Our country managed to obtain the relic in the end and it was rumored to be a sword which is now in the hands of a Heavenly King. It’s a huge advantage and worth the risking of many lives.”
Lu Shu was shocked. Class Bs were stopped but Class Cs and Ds weren’t?
Could it be that Class Bs were too big of a target?
In reality, the Heavenly Network only had their sights on the various Class Bs in other countries and there wasn’t enough manpower to target Class Cs and Ds. Even though these Classes were also hard to deal with, but it was their home ground after all and there were Heavenly Kings protecting it.
As such, slightly weaker power from outside could provide the practitioners in Heavenly Network to have some training opportunities.
There were quite a few experts in the Heavenly Network but peacetime had lasted a long while so there weren’t many veterans. Some practitioners saw blood and bodies for the first time and puked.
It was a better option to let everyone gain experience slowly under the protection of Heavenly Kings rather than to let a group of fresh soldiers onto the battlefield.
Lu Shu and Jiang Shuyi were aware of the situation compared to the rest who displayed faces of confusion.
At that point in time, Li Yixiao wasn’t there and Lu Shu reckoned that he was at the remains.
Daoyuan students did not have the discipline Xi Fei and company had which was built on the tough daily training they had been through.
The rows were chaotic as a group of people was speculating about what happened.
Everyone was still wide awake. It would be too pathetic for a practitioner to feel sleepy from a little lack of sleep…
“What’s with the sudden mysterious gathering, could it be to impart us a new training method?”
“I don’t think so. Imparting a new training method wouldn’t create such a big scene. I think it might be to distribute some standard weapons…”
A few of them were speculating when someone noticed Lu Shu’s sarcastic laughter and went silent. This was Lu Shu’s power…
But Lu Shu did not plan to let them off yet as he sniggered, “I’m really envious of your naive faces which I can’t have. I can only rely on arm-wrestling the class rep to gain strength.”
Everyone looked towards Liu Li’s directions and felt an impulse to arm-wrestle Liu Li straight away…
Liu Li was originally quiet and staying out of the discussion when he almost vomited blood. What the f*ck, did I say anything? Did I? What’s wrong with you?!
Where did that come from?! Can’t you just find someone else to agitate?
“From Liu Li’s distress, +388”
Those students were no exception and contributed a wave over 1000+ distress points…
Lu Shu was in a good mood and also grateful for the Daoyuan class’ contribution of distress points in the middle of the night!
At this moment, a Class D practitioner who Lu Shu recognized to be one of the pursuers during the fugitive case appeared. He was the one who managed to stab the fugitive in the left shoulder.
This person had a manly, chiseled face as he addressed the students, “Tonight’s activity is confidential. Instead of working together, it would be more accurate to call it gaining experience. If anyone was to leak about it, you won’t just be expelled but be prepared to face the military court.”
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. The term military court was normally only heard in television shows and they never expected to hear about it in real life.
They understood the seriousness!
And Lu Shu had understood that the remains were dangerous and to let everyone witness it would be beneficial for them.
Twenty military trucks came down and everyone boarded their respective allocated trucks. Under Lu Shu’s calmness was a feeling of anxiety. If what Jiang Shuyi said about the various metahumans and practitioners from various countries wanting a part of this, then this trip to the remains might not be a peaceful one.
Europeans and Americans aside, as it was quite impossible for them to sneak into the mainland, it would be terrible if Asians had sneaked in.
The Daoyuan students were really bold as they excitedly boarded the trucks as if they were going sightseeing. They might as well have brought snacks and kites…
This reminded Lu Shu of the time when the teacher in the orphanage brought them to go sightseeing…
