The God of Cataka
35
"CHIAAAAAAAT!"
A SLAAASSSH!
Jialin shot out a sickle-shaped light energy from the tip of his sword towards the wolf-like monster in a twisted motion in the air.
YOAAARRRR!
Tiao threw out a crystal ball-shaped light energy on the other side.
YOOOOOOOOOO!
A bear as big as a kingkong roared while punching his own chest.
Shen Zhu stood before the bear vigilantly. His sword was drawn in his right hand.
Behind Shen Zhu, the eight other finalists were surrounding the white-haired Wolf God's Tracking Dog.
Lim Hua was slammed as he tried to throw a dome-shaped light energy towards the wolf. Lightning frowned from the wolf's forehead and stung Lim Hua like a stream of electricity.
"It didn't work!" Lim Hua realized. "The water element will only expose me to a counterattack!"
"Let me try!" Lian Ze shot out a dome-shaped light energy with wind elements towards the wolf. But his level of strength was not strong enough to catapult the wolf.
"CHIAAAAAAAT!" Jialin shot towards the wolf from the other side in the same movement— twisted in the air while swinging his sword and flashing out a sickle-shaped light energy.
SLASHY!
The wolf panted a little, but did not fall.
On the other hand, Shen Zhu had already soared while swinging his sword aiming at the jaws of the giant bear which in an instant had already incised a scar that left embers behind.
The bear growled and swung its claws towards Shen Zhu. But quickly the young man had already soared to the back of the nape of the giant bear and swung his sword again.
A SLAAASSSH!
A new incision wound was created in the nape of the bear.
YOOOOOOOOOO!
The bear roared again, unpretentious to the howling of the wolf.
The snow desert trembled and crouched as ice-covered rock fragments suddenly fell from the vibrations caused by the sounds of the two monsters.
"Mixed magic formation!" yelled Tiao instructed.
Then the eight teenagers simultaneously kept their swords and mounted horses, preparing to bring out spiritual moves. Then join one another in their spiritual power from the eight winds.
A disc-shaped magic formation was created from their combined strength, then floating above the head of the white-haired wolf and pressing down on it.
Simultaneously, Shen Zhu floated down on the head of the giant bear with a magic circle under his feet.
Seconds later…
BUUUUUMM!
The two monsters instantly crumbled into pieces. Massive explosions erupted along with light and strong winds that spewed snowflakes, chunks of ice and rock shards.
Except for Shen Zhu, everyone was swept away to a radius of hundreds of meters.
Shen Zhu soared with a salto motion when the explosion occurred, then landed on the top of one of the cliffs.
A while later, two crystal pieces floated up from the shards of the two monsters.
Shen Zhu darted off the top of the cliff, grabbed the two crystals earlier and landed near Lim Hua. Then leaned over to stretch out his hand to help his older brother stand up.
Everyone around them got up panting.
"We need to get out of here before the other monsters arrive" Shen Zhu said.
Then compactly everyone nodded in agreement. I don't know since when they finally started getting along with Jialin and Jiangwu.
The journey felt like it had been years until they had forgotten that they had never been that close.
Whether thanks to Shen Zhu or due to the challenges that were forced to be borne together, the mission had truly brought them together without them noticing.
The atmosphere of togetherness felt more cheerful when they had turned towards the way home.
Sometimes they are also forced to fight with monsters they meet along the way home.
In the end, the crystals they obtained were increasingly complete. Even Jiangwu had also obtained his own crystal even though his strength level was not as good as the rare crystals Shen Zhu had obtained.
That said, they were reaping a huge harvest!
So, as soon as they arrived at the place where they had tethered the horse carriage, a group of strangers were already waiting to rob them.
It's not Sicarii who wants revenge!
Only hordes of thieves used to act on the border of the Hunt Forest.
Tianba was also there in a bound and battered state.
Shen Zhu smiled looking at the young man. His fate is really bad! the scorn in the heart. He must have sold the information to exchange his life, Shen Zhu concluded. Otherwise, the robbers would have killed him!
"Give me your storage ring!" snapped one of the robbers while pointing his sword at the neck of Tianba who was sitting under his feet. "If you don't, your friend's life will be lost."
"Friends?" Jialin snorted cynically while glaring at Tianba. "What friend?"
"Adik—" cried Tianba with an expression of shock.
The robber finally actually swung his sword towards Tianba.
Tianba instantly paled.
But when the sword eye came close to slashing Tianba's neck, the sword suddenly slammed and the robber slumped while bending his stomach. Then it collapsed and did not move anymore.
Tianba froze with wide eyes.
Everyone is flabbergasted.
Even Shen Zhu.
"Dare to injure a disciple of the Bao Sect?" Someone's voice boomed from behind the robbers.
Everyone gasped and turned towards the owner of the voice.
A beautiful-looking man floated down on Tianba's side with both hands folded behind his body.
"Teacher!" The disciples of Dormitory Seven exclaimed simultaneously.
Jialin and Tiao blinked and stammered.
At the same time, the robbers simultaneously charged towards Bao Yu.
Bao Yu pulled out one hand, swung the dangling fan tied from her wrist, and instantly the robbers were swept away and slammed into a radius of tens of meters.
The ten teenagers crossed their hands in front of their faces to fortify themselves from the wind mixed with dust that erupted from the fan Bao Yu.
What a terrible energy! thought everyone.
In the next instant, the herd of robbers heaved their bodies and ran away.
"You're running away after making a mess?" bao Yu growled while swinging one of her hands to the side and jerking her five fingers.
Needle-shaped light energy shot out from the sidelines of his fingers and knocked all those robbers down in one go.
YOAAARRRR!
The robbers fell together and did not move anymore.
Everyone gasped and gasped.
Tiao gulped and looked at his uncle with a horrified expression. He broke through! thought. How could?
Everyone knows Bao Yu can't level up. But not many knew his dantian had recovered and broke through the level in an instant.
Then suddenly and without warning, Bao Yu glanced at Tiao, and at once the young man blinked and bowed. "Uncle," he said almost inaudibly. Bao Yu and his two nephews never spoke to each other. It was the first time Tiao had greeted his uncle. His voice was stuck in his throat.
The beautiful man only nodded at a glance in response. He then glanced at his students.
"Teacher!" The disciples of Dormitory Seven rushed towards their teacher like chicks finding their mother.
