Yu Rui stood in front of the cultists, her eyes calmly fixed on them who wanted to tear her apart.
The believers had never seen Qin Sheng, the leader, and only recognized the deputy leader by the wings on her back. They did not know that the person in front of them was the one who gave them the mission.
She pulled a folded sickle from her waist and unfolded it in her hand with a gentle pull.
What's striking is the scythe blade, which, when unfolded, is covered in a layer of blood red, adding to its menacing aura.
However, at that moment, her own blood covered the top of the scythe.
"You're the first one!"
With a fierce look in his eyes, the cultist punched Yu Rui, as if he were hitting her head with a watermelon.
Yu Rui's movements were quick and simple.
The scythe danced lightly in her hand, its long handle landing on the cultist's charging fist and shifting its position.
With a loud thud, his fist slammed into the ground.
Yu Rui's figure resembled that of a dancer, gracefully turning around while wielding her sickle, bringing with it a layer of crimson light.
The scythe danced at her waist, and as she turned, the blade struck the cultist's neck before being swiftly pulled out.
The sharp blade easily pierced through the defenses inside the Berserker Potion, passing through his neck without any resistance.
Amidst the fluid movements, a heavy thud was heard behind him.
The sickle lay beside Yu Rui, and she never looked back to check it. Then, with a gentle press, the sickle folded back into place.
Qi Jie stared blankly at the figure.
A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, and the calm expression on her face revealed unparalleled confidence, a sight that made his heart pound.
"Are you alright?"
Yu Rui wasn't interested in him; instead, she asked Ye Bufan.
"fine."
Ye Bufan looked enviously at the scythe she had put away. It must have been a weapon made from the remains of a high-level alien beast, which had killed the cultist so easily.
In reality, the company's funds were insufficient to purchase the remains of other alien beasts.
Yu Rui's weapon was made of ordinary materials, except that a layer of her blood had broken through the blade.
Yu Rui glanced at Xu Ruiling again and explained, "She's just unconscious, you don't need to worry too much."
Shang Wu breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely said, "Thank you."
Yu Rui nodded. This should leave a deep impression on Ye Bufan, and joining their small team later should go smoothly.
The city guards, who had been observing from the shadows, also appeared at this moment. After praising Yu Rui, they took away the cultist's corpse.
"Attack..."
Luo Hongxia listened to the report without being surprised.
Similar situations have been occurring frequently recently, with the city guards only intervening when the students are unable to stop them.
This also proves that the initial intelligence was correct; the Creation Cult was indeed preparing to target the top spot.
only…
"It's so obvious, what is the leader of the Creation Cult thinking?"
Luo Hongxia was puzzled. If one wanted to find out a student's weakness, doing it secretly would be the best option.
But today's attack almost revealed the plan to the public through the words of the believers, which is completely counterproductive.
"Could it be a smokescreen?"
Luo Hongxia looked at the recent warehouse reports, which indicated that unidentified figures had been frequently appearing in the vicinity.
The Church of Creation wouldn't want to distract them by secretly deciding to directly seize the dragon beast remains from the warehouse.
The original intention of releasing the location of the dragon beast's remains was to gauge the reaction of the Creation Cult.
Sure enough, they sent people to investigate. Luo Hongxia even let two people go, trying to tempt the Creation Cult and see if they could hold back.
I thought the next step would either be a surprise attack or they would focus their attention on the students.
The result was unexpected; the Creation Cult members continued their investigation at the warehouse, albeit in a much more discreet manner.
They didn't send the guards to alert the enemy, but the Creation Cult also remained inactive.
Luo Hongxia closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. The students and the warehouse—one of them must be a smokescreen to mislead them!
But regardless of which one is a smokescreen, they have to be prepared, because they cannot accept the consequences of guessing wrong.
"Creation Church, what exactly is your plan...?"
Luo Hongxia murmured, recalling that the facial restoration work was nearing its end.
Around the time the martial arts exam ends, we should be able to restore the appearances of those few followers. Then, by following their latest information, we can pinpoint the location of the Creation Cult.
Even if they don't take the bait this time, the Creation Cult can forget about staying in the shadows any longer!
...
A few days later, Qin Sheng was lying idly in the yard of his house, basking in the sun.
Having resolved the issue of the humanoid form, he was now waiting for the dragon beast remains to prepare his potion, and could finally relax for a few days.
After all, he had been busy with experiments ever since the founding of the Creation Church.
The most pressing issue troubling him now is his lifespan, which is only missing the remains of a dragon beast.
Qin Sheng looked into the distance with amusement.
For the time being.
The city guard's actions were all within their expectations, and the dragon beast's remains were practically theirs for the taking!
"The rules for the martial arts exam have been announced."
Qin Sheng noticed the message pushed to his phone, and at that moment, countless people flooded into the official website!
Much of the attention came from other districts.
After all, it concerns the remains of a dragon beast, so this year's martial arts exam in District Seven will inevitably attract the attention of countless people.
"Brother Jie! No!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Qi Jie ignored Wang Xiaopang's cries of pain and rushed forward, attacking him relentlessly with a baseball bat. The terrifying force made Wang Xiaopang unable to even hold onto the knife.
"It's been three days already. I promised I'd help you break through, and you absolutely have to!"
In order to get Yu Rui's contact information, Qi Jie agreed to Wang Xiaopang's request to help him break through the last one percent.
It's been three days, and there's still no sign of anything happening.
"Let's stop for a moment, the rules for the martial arts exam have been released," Ye Bufan said from the side.
"Brother Jie, Brother Jie, let's look at the rules of the martial arts exam first, okay?"
Qi Jie sighed and agreed to let him rest for a while.
Shangwu, who follows the martial arts exam, also noticed the news.
"Finish this quickly and leave this place of trouble."
Xu Ruiling was attacked by cult members. If the cult members had killed her, Shang Wu would never have believed that Xu Ruiling was missing.
Coming to District 7 was definitely a mistake, but there's no turning back now.
All I can do is hope the martial arts exam goes well so I can return to District One safely with Xu Ruiling.
I recall the fear and dread that arose in my heart when the believers seized Xu Ruiling.
A flicker of fear crossed Shangwu's eyes. He would wait until they returned this time and then...
Yu Rui opened her phone and started looking at the information about the martial arts exam.
The martial arts exam is divided into three rounds.
The first round of testing scores students' individual abilities, while the second round of competition selects the top 100.
The third round is the arena battle, which is also the round to determine the champion.
In previous years, the top spot was determined directly by points ranking in the second round, but this year's dragon beast remains added an extra round to the martial arts exam.
The top 100 students will decide who gets the dragon beast remains based on their actual strength!
