Thinking of Matt, the invincible protector, made Du Jun’s scalp tingle.
Although he was the most dazzling rising star in Dragon Country’s military at the moment, he was likely not even qualified to carry Matt’s shoes.
If Matt truly lost his temper, no one in Dragon Country would dare to protect him.
Why had he ever thought of instigating this matter in the first place, insisting that the two go on an adventure to the Fu Long Mountain Range?
He had initially thought it would be an exceedingly easy mission for some gilded experience.
But little did he expect the development of events to completely exceed their predictions.
A stampeding high-level beast tide, an army of millions of aliens, and a super-large teleportation gate that might have already been established…
Each of these matters was dangerous enough to warrant the attention of the entire Dragon Country, let alone their Qing Jing.
And in a corner where no one was paying attention, Zhao Wudi was silently suppressing a laugh.
In the face of such a colossal crisis, Lin Ran and Luo Qing Yan were indeed very likely to have met with misfortune.
Serves them right, daring to run back up the mountain when the beast tide was surging…
With these two gone, it had certainly reduced a lot of trouble for him!
Otherwise, he would still have to figure out how to remove himself from the suspect pool, which was no easy thought.
…
Qing Jing.
Yan Yun University.
Principal’s Office.
Principal Matt and the five department heads sat upright, their faces solemn.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Matt began, "At least we know now that the two are not dead…
"After all, the soul imprints they inscribed at the school are still there, so the situation is not yet at its worst."
Yan Yun University inscribed a four-year soul imprint for each student in the archives upon enrollment.
This way, at the very least, when they encountered misfortune, the school would not be completely unaware.
However, Xu Lei's face showed no relief from his worry, "But it's already very grim…
"They certainly have many means of self-preservation, but they clearly haven't escaped danger yet.
"They must have stockpiled quite a few emergency teleportation scrolls.
"Since they haven't used them, it likely means that those damn lightning elementals have already sealed off the space.
"Not to mention, the biological chips in Lin Ran and Luo Qing Yan’s minds have also been shattered…"
"This!"
Hearing them say this, Lin Miao became even more uneasy, "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry to the Fu Long Mountain Range together and charge in to rescue them!
"Every second we waste, the danger they face could increase!"
Matt, however, shook his head and said, "Not so…"
"The current situation within the Fu Long Mountain Range is chaotic, with all sorts of people mixed in.
"If you go in rashly, you might not only fail to help them but also harm them.
"After all, if human experts gather in the Fu Long Mountain Range, the alien race won't remain idle.
"It would be problematic if it attracted a second wave of reinforcements from the alien race.
"Furthermore, your individual combat power at the eighth and ninth tiers would only have so much impact in a battle involving millions of units.
"You shouldn't be overconfident!"
Gao Xian frowned, "Then what are we supposed to do, just sit at home and wait?
"Wouldn't that mean the pressure to escape falls entirely on the two of them?"
Matt chuckled, "Don't worry, they are both very capable.
"Since they were severely injured but their lives are out of danger, it means they are being extremely cautious right now.
"You all surely haven't forgotten Lin Ran's spatial ability that grants him a miraculous immunity to attacks, right?
"So, we just need to head to the armed fortress first to stand guard and prepare defenses.
"For the rest, we can just wait for their triumphant return…"
Lu Qiufeng stared dumbfounded, "Boss, you truly have faith in those two…
"The alien race, ferocious beasts, and our soldiers are about to clash there, and you still think those two are fine!"
Matt snorted and said, stroking his beard, "You should know Lin Ran better than I do.
"Those who can kill him likely haven't even crawled out of a rock yet!
"How can they compare to you five commoners?
"Let alone him, even Luo Qing Yan, given some more time, will be capable of beating you all soundly.
"You really have no idea of your own limitations!"
Ling Shangqing rolled his eyes, "Boss, you really turn your back on people just like that…
"When you led our batches back then, you didn't say this.
"Now that you have better talent reserves, you're acting all smug. Is that appropriate?"
Matt burst into laughter, "Alright, stop bickering, let's get going.
"Let's head to the armed fortress first to support the army and stabilize morale.
"Also, although we here firmly believe that Lin Ran and the other will be fine.
"However, among the army, we must display anger, dissatisfaction, and blame, attributing this incident to their responsibility.
"This way, we can also help them secure some rather substantial compensation, wouldn't you agree?"
Lin Miao was speechless, "Boss, your unscrupulous merchant style truly hasn't diminished one bit."
…
In the Divine Might Space.
Lin Ran was frantically wielding his energy, using the technique "Knights Don't Die Unarmed" to desperately break the restrictions on the seven-colored light sphere.
Luo Qing Yan leaned quietly on Lin Ran's shoulder, watching this magical sight.
Countless magic runes were continuously peeling off the light sphere, and its seven-colored glow became increasingly dazzling.
The Razor of Destruction was not in the same space as them, so even if it had imprinted a soul mark on the seven-colored light sphere, it couldn't prevent this.
Moreover, its soul imprint had already been burned away by Lin Ran's Amaterasu, making energy transmission impossible.
Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Lin Ran completely wore down all the restrictions within this seven-colored light sphere.
Finally, with the disintegration of the last restriction chain, the seven-colored light sphere finally revealed its true form.
Brilliant, crystal clear, and dazzling.
Coupled with the constantly flowing seven-colored aura and natural energy on the sphere, just looking at it instilled a sense of peace.
"So beautiful!"
"And this thing is similar to the Angel Heart that Sister Miao gave me back then…"
"Except, mine was golden."
"Could this one also be a special equipment of that type?"
Luo Qing Yan murmured to herself.
Lin Ran, however, turned serious, his gaze fixed on the seven-colored light sphere.
This light sphere was not just a regular special equipment…
Besides its inherent energy form, it also contained a surge of spatial-temporal power.
Clearly, the Thunder Elemental clan had paid an extremely high price to forge this light sphere.
So, its attributes…
