Silence fell over the room, and all eyes were on Xu Ruiling.
Waiting for her answer.
And she was also pondering it.
Leave, or surrender?
Shang Wu stood up with a bitter expression: "Dean, this is what the higher-ups want, right?"
Dean Mo did not answer, but based on Shang Wu's understanding of him, the other party would never point a sword at his student.
"I see…"
Shang Wu looked at Xu Ruiling with a complicated expression, while the latter turned her head away with a guilty and ashamed look, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Ling'er." His voice was gentle, just as it always was, still full of love.
"Let's go, the farther the better."
How could he bear to watch Xu Ruiling be arrested and taken back?
The Creation Cult will now be a public enemy of humanity in District 11. Xu Ruiling may survive being captured alive, but she will definitely not have an easy time!
Shangwu would not make such a decision for his own selfish desires, just to keep Xu Ruiling by his side.
The love was like a tidal wave, and her gaze was fixed solely on the other person.
"They can't leave."
Before Xu Ruiling could make a move, Dean Mo had already spoken.
Rumble...
After several loud bangs, they still didn't know what had happened until Dean Mo spoke up to explain.
"This entire mountain has been hollowed out, but in front of the dragon beasts, what do you think is being imprisoned here?"
Shang Wu's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Let's go!"
Without further hesitation, the dark red lightning condensed beneath her feet like a magic circle, and in the next second it carried her out with a roar!
Bang bang bang!
In an instant, several red lights exploded behind her, disappearing in a circular pattern as if the sound barrier had been broken.
Dean Mo did not stop her, but a few seconds later, Xu Ruiling returned to the scene.
"You should have learned the concept of extreme conditions from your textbooks."
Dean Mo looked at Xu Ruiling with a complicated expression: "I never expected that it would appear on a person now."
They had naturally studied the extreme conditions as well.
Unlike the inherent power of the beasts themselves, the extreme realm is more like enlightenment, or a qualitative change that occurs through accumulation over time.
The reason why the information about the beasts with extreme speed in the textbook was so detailed was because they had studied them here, hoping to learn how to achieve extreme speed from them.
The result was, of course, failure, but the place remained and was used to imprison the strange beasts.
After witnessing Xu Ruiling's terrifying speed, Cao Guangxing realized that the Creation Cult might have accomplished what they had failed to do.
The Creation Cult, which integrates the genes of alien beasts, has also successfully brought the extreme realm to its followers.
In other places, Cao Guangxing might need to call upon another venerable figure to intercept Xu Ruiling to have any chance of success.
But here, neither the extreme beast from before could leave, nor could Xu Ruiling.
"Three seconds."
Dean Mo gripped his longsword: "Although it was only three seconds, you should have walked across the entire field by now."
Xu Ruiling nodded silently.
“That iron chain is only effective against strange beasts. You can’t use it against me,” Dean Mo continued, having already noticed that the dragon beast’s iron chain had disappeared.
Xu Ruiling sighed and slowly took out the iron chain and threw it on the ground.
"Is there anything else you'd like to say?" Dean Mo paused for a moment. "Or, would you like to spar with me?"
Xu Ruiling shook her head: "Dean, I'm so sorry..."
“Child, I can see it,” Dean Mo said with a pang of pity. “You are a good child. The fault lies not with you, but with the Creation and Life Education.”
"Give up resistance now, and I will do my best to save you."
Xu Ruiling looked around, her gaze sweeping across Qin Sheng's face before landing on Shang Wu.
Judging from Qin Sheng's previous ability to control himself, he couldn't reveal any information about him.
Should we give up the fight?
For a moment, there was a slight silence in the room.
Seeing her own reflection in Shang Wu's resolute gaze, Xu Ruiling suddenly remembered the potion Qin Sheng had taught her.
She seemed to have a moment of wisdom and realized why Qin Sheng had given her the medicine.
Knowing her as he did, Shangwu was certain that his subtle actions along the way would not escape her notice.
Since the medicine looked like a glass product, she couldn't help but worry that it might break and upset Qin Sheng.
At that time, he might take his anger out on Shangwu.
So along the way, Xu Ruiling would occasionally touch her pocket to make sure the medicine inside was intact.
Shangwu may not know what that place is, but now that his identity as a cultist has been exposed, the only thing that would make him protect it so carefully is probably the potion.
Xu Ruiling trusted Shang Wu and believed he could have guessed this.
It seems that Qin Sheng's goal was to inject Shang Wu with the drug and turn him into a believer!
No, absolutely not!
Xu Ruiling knew the price of becoming a believer; she had become Qin Sheng's puppet.
How could she bear to let Shangwu be controlled by the Creation Cult just like her?
Just as Shangwu couldn't bear to see her surrender and be arrested, Xu Ruiling also didn't want Shangwu to become a believer and be manipulated by others.
Both of them were thinking of the other.
"Brother Shang..."
Xu Ruiling had eyes only for him; a surge of love welled up in her heart, but it was stuck in her chest, and she dared not express it.
She was afraid—afraid that if she died after saying those three words, Shangwu would never be able to escape the shadow of the past, afraid that he would live entirely in the past.
Love is restraint—a statement she once disagreed with, now so clear and distinct.
Her boundless love was ultimately suppressed, and Xu Ruiling smiled.
"Brother Shang, you must live well."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Ruiling's hand went into her pocket and grabbed the vial of medicine that Qin Sheng had given her, clearly intending to destroy it!
