"Counterattack begins!"

Jiang Yuan made a powerful entrance. Although he no longer had the support of the God of War, he still possessed sufficient strength.

Apart from the Azure Sky Rhinoceros and the Earth-Shaking Tiger, both eighth-tier holy spirit beasts, the rest of the monsters besieging Nanwang Academy were only fifth-tier monsters.

"Bloodlust activated!"

When a notification sound rang out, Jiang Yuan became even more focused, and all the students from Nanwang Academy began to retreat, leaving only Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan at the front line.

However, Ning Yanlan did not make a move, and Jiang Yuan controlled the battle from start to finish.

"Divine power limit increased by one!"

"Divine power limit increased by one!"

As the battle intensified, the Heavenly Eye gave him two hints. His suppressed realm, which he had maintained for so long, finally loosened up at this moment, and the loosening resulted in two consecutive increases. This also meant that his divine power had reached 104, and two points of divine power were enough to equal six points of energy in a single element, which was quite a breakthrough.

Just as Jiang Yuan was frantically slaughtering those monsters, Liu Xiuran and Liu Zhaodi, the siblings, arrived with their men. The first one to be surprised was not Liu Zhaodi, but Liu Xiuran.

"Impossible, how could so many people in our academy have died?" Liu Xiuran, who had been being supported, suddenly collapsed to the ground, disoriented.

Before him lay blood-soaked corpses, not those of monsters, but those of students and teachers from Nanwang Academy. At a glance, there were four or five hundred corpses.

Nanwang Academy has limited resources, and over 90% of its students have never undergone spiritual awakening. Once they encounter monsters, they are completely powerless to resist.

"How could this be?" Liu Xiuran's eyes were bloodshot, filled with disbelief.

"Senior Liu, Qi Peng has led a group of capable people from the academy to break through!" A young man with a missing arm said indignantly as he stepped forward.

"Qi Peng, they're gone?" Liu Xiuran's blood rushed to his head, and he instantly realized why so many people had died at Nanwang Academy.

"Yes, they left directly. If it weren't for Assistant Instructor Zheng leading a group of teachers to risk their lives to cover for us, at least twice as many people would have died at Nanwang Academy!" The one-armed youth cried.

"Where are Assistant Professor Zheng and the others?" Liu Xiuran had a bad feeling.

“They…they…” The one-armed youth suddenly choked up and could no longer speak.

"Bastard, bastard!" Liu Xiuran collapsed to the ground and frantically pounded the stone slab with his fists, feeling nothing even though his fists were covered in blood.

Seeing this, the others immediately stepped forward to comfort him, "Senior Liu, it's not your fault, it's all because we were too useless!"

"Qi Peng, I will kill you all!" Liu Xiuran gritted his teeth. The reason he delayed the eighth-tier holy spirit beast was to buy time for the people from Nanwang Academy. If they hadn't escaped, the outcome would definitely not be like this now.

"Things are different now!" Liu Zhaodi said forlornly, looking at the lone figure fighting ahead.

She had never felt such a surge of emotion before. Mystery, power, misunderstanding, aloofness, atmosphere, emotions—all these external factors influenced her. Suddenly, she realized that she seemed to have fallen for this masked person. Even she found it strange, because she didn't even know if the other person was male or female, beautiful or ugly. Falling in love came so unexpectedly.

"Go up and help!" Liu Xiuran's playful smile vanished at this moment. He was suppressing his anger, which needed to be vented through killing.

"Stop! He'll kill you!" Liu Zhaodi decisively stopped Liu Xiuran. The people who made the oath were too terrifying. Whether it was the God of Slaughter or this freak, they were not ordinary people.

"Won't!"

Liu Xiuran simply uttered a sentence, then walked into the monsters' encirclement without looking back.

Jiang Yuan spotted Liu Xiuran but didn't stop him. It was a personal choice, and he couldn't interfere or want to.

However, this time Jiang Yuan still used his Heavenly Eye to conduct a deep investigation of Liu Xiuran, and the result surprised him.

Human race, fifth-tier dual-elemental (mutated), psionic energy: 52, soul energy: 51, bloodline: primary spatial bloodline, talent: spacetime conversion.

Spacetime Conversion (Upgradable): Enables spatial teleportation and time travel within a certain range. (Lacking a temporal bloodline, time travel is not possible.)

The rank was ordinary, but the mutated dual system was something he had never seen before, and there was also the spatial bloodline. He had opened so many cores, but he had never seen a spatial or time bloodline before, while this unknown guy in front of him possessed a primary spatial bloodline.

Furthermore, his talent is very strong, similar to Ning Yanlan's Spirit Shield and Spirit Judgment. Moreover, it is clear that he stumbled onto the right path by accident, as this talent is only applicable to spatial and temporal bloodlines.

"How interesting!" Jiang Yuan felt a strong interest in this eccentric young man.

"Shouldn't we stop him? It feels like he could die in the beast tide at any moment in his current state!" Ning Yanlan said.

"No need. Since he wants to vent, let him vent. Of course, give him a shield if necessary, otherwise it'll be a shame if he dies!" Jiang Yuan said and continued slaughtering monsters.

Here, too many innocent people have perished. For humans, he can only send them into reincarnation with the chant of death. For monsters, it is naturally a blessing or a curse. But after experiencing so much, Jiang Yuan also understood one thing.

Is there right or wrong in life and death? From the perspective of death, life and death are just an endless cycle.

If we really want to understand its meaning, it's probably just a dream of being born and a dream of dying. The true spirit doesn't dissipate, and the dreams continue. It's just that some dreams can't be remembered after you wake up.

Despite facing so many monsters, Liu Xiuyuan didn't actually have many opportunities to attack, because Jiang Yuan's slaughter speed was too fast. With the Divine Wings of the Xingzi Technique activated, he was like a ghost in the night, and no one knew where his blade would appear next.
