It seemed that the heavens had not heard Vent’s prayers, as Zhang Wen and Linoah’s “exercise” continued without pause. Vent could do nothing but remain stuck in place, feeling extremely frustrated. Meanwhile, Goldfish and the others, who had been closely tailing Zhang Wen’s group, had already stopped at a location near the edge of the Dream River. However, without any news from Vent, they could only wait anxiously on site.
However, behind the thicket that had trapped Vent, Zhang Wen was still fully dressed in his complete combat gear. In front of him was the seductive beauty Lynora, crouching half-prostrate on the ground.
In order to completely bewilder Vent outside, this sexy beauty had no choice but to remove her entire combat outfit. With only two pieces of underwear left to cover herself, her nearly naked body was fully exposed before Zhang Wen. Even worse, according to Zhang Wen’s hateful idea, she actually had to perform a seductive act in front of him! The soft, whimpering moans that she forced from her throat made her own face flush with embarrassment and her heart race.
Stripping off all her clothes in front of a young man and making such shamefully seductive sounds— even someone as composed as Liruona couldn’t help but blush with a look of alluring embarrassment across her face. Moreover, the sight of this beautiful secret agent wearing an expression somewhere between coquettish pouting and shyness was enough to stir even a stone-hearted man!
Linoor has certainly invested heavily in this collaboration with Zhang Wen!
“Very well.” Feeling that Went beside her had finally fallen completely silent, Zhang Wen finally whispered into Lirnoya’s ear with a faint smile. Then he arched his body and began to retreat slowly backward.
However, as Zhang Wen stepped backward, his gaze never left Linoah for a moment. As the distance between them gradually increased, Zhang Wen found himself taking in the sight of Linoah’s half-naked beauty even more fully.
Whether intentionally or not, Lirnoah seemed to have chosen a bra that was a size too small. Under the tight-fitting black sheer fabric clinging to her chest, her already full and perky breasts were accentuated, forming a tantalizing cleavage that was almost enough to make one’s nose bleed.
What made the scene even more electrifying was that, due to the need to fit snugly with her combat suit, Linoa was wearing lingerie so thin it was practically gossamer, creating an alluring see-through effect that revealed just enough to spark the imagination. The hazy, tantalizing glimpse suggested that with just a little more effort, one could feast their eyes on her perfect, delicate breasts—but each time, it remained just out of reach, leaving an infuriatingly unclear view. Even Zhang Wen, who had experienced two lifetimes, found himself unable to suppress his excitement.
As for Linoah’s lower body, she was wearing underwear that was almost indistinguishable from a T-back on Earth. Between the two thin strings forming a T-shape, the captivating curves of Linoah’s slender waist and beautiful hips were fully visible to Zhang Wen.
As for looking further down, Linoah’s beautiful legs, which she herself was immensely proud of, hardly needed any additional description. Against the backdrop of the surrounding tender green leaves, her perfect long legs appeared even more graceful and delicate, like jade. This allure even drew Zhang Wen’s gaze to steal a few extra glances at her delicate little feet.
“Keep going, don’t stop!” Feeling the burning gaze fixed upon her, Linoah’s blushing deepened further. The sexy beauty continued moaning softly, then turned her head and cast a sharp, embarrassed glance toward Zhang Wen with her flushed face. At the same time, she had no choice but to extend her delicate hand and shake the bushes in front of her a few times.
“Oh?” Zhang Wen couldn’t help but chuckle at Linoah’s embarrassed glare, a mischievous thought once again crossing his mind. He stepped back to a distance of five or six paces from Linoah, then deliberately let his eyes scan her entire figure from head to toe a second time. After that, he solemnly gave her a thumbs-up sign, saying with a straight face, “Well done.”
“Bastard!… Ah! I can’t take it anymore… Ugh… Ugh…” Without hesitation, Lenora mouthed the words to Zhang Wen, then quickly let out a series of incredibly alluring gasps.
Between gasps, Linoah’s half-naked chest rapidly rose and fell a few more times, as if her resilient, snow-white breasts were on the verge of bursting through the thin black gauze, threatening to tear the fabric apart. The sight caused Zhang Wen’s heart to beat noticeably faster.
“Hmph!” Zhang Wen’s expression of astonishment did not escape Lino’s sharp eyes. The sexy, half-naked beauty smirked triumphantly at Zhang Wen and then turned around, leaving him with only a tantalizingly alluring back view.
Linoah… this woman is just too sexy for words! It’s not like anything actually happened—just a few glances at some lingerie and the sound of her moaning—and yet the Chunshui Qi inside my body is already on the verge of going wild! Tsk! Pathetic. Zhang Wen shook his head in frustration, slightly disgusted with himself, and quickly stepped back.
“Hmph! Finally made it out!” He slowly stood up and stretched his arms with a sense of relief after exiting the grove and no longer seeing Lino’s figure.
“It’s time to get down to some serious business,” Zhang Wen murmured to himself with a slight smirk, his figure seemingly vanishing in an instant.
Xiao Boter is a student at the Bocca Academy’s martial arts department. Like most students who excel at his age in an academy, Xiao Boter is also an extremely arrogant individual. At the Bocca Academy, aside from maintaining a bit of respect for the academy’s principal, who has surpassed the tenth rank of strength, Xiao Boter has never regarded anyone else highly.
Take Frank, the instructor who brought them to this survival competition, for example. Young Porter had never shown him the slightest respect. This was because Porter always found Frank’s eyes, which had a protruding texture, extremely ridiculous. In fact, the nickname “Goldfish Eyes,” which Frank had earned at Boca Academy, was given to him by Young Porter himself during a competition within the academy.
Yet, it was precisely this guy, whom Xiao Bot had always looked down upon, who managed to eliminate Xiao Bot in the most critical battle of the first round of the survival competition!
Although this guy spoke grandly about things like “your mission is far more dangerous than ours” and “if we win, half the credit will go to your task today,” young Potter didn’t listen to a single word!
This guy who’s all about big eyes but has no vision whatsoever. You’re leading the charge against Almichus Academy, while I’m stuck at the back with the badge—what danger could there possibly be? Hmph! It’s just because I accidentally gave you that nickname “goldfish eyes” last time, isn’t it? You really hold a grudge! Thought little Potter indignantly.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Xiao Bot looked down on Goldfish Eyes, who made you a student and Goldfish Eyes a teacher? In the end, under the round-eyed gaze of Goldfish Eyes, Xiao Bot still had to reluctantly accept the small pouch containing five badges.
Following Frank’s instructions, Xiao Boter was originally supposed to leave their martial arts team immediately and head south at full speed to reunite with the two teams of spellcasters they had left behind.
But for Frank’s strict orders to Little Porter, along with his threat to report Porter to the principal if he dared to disobey, Porter would have long ignored Frank’s instructions and secretly gone back alone to confront the students from Almisham Academy. Last year, Porter had already crossed paths with people from Almisham before. In his eyes, those cowards from Almisham Academy wouldn’t stand a chance—even if four of them ganged up on him at once, they still wouldn’t be any match for him alone!
Unlike prestigious academies such as Themis Academy or Almace Academy, which have strong hopes of competing for victory, smaller schools like Boca Academy never even consider vying for first place from the start. Therefore, what each student cares about is not their academy’s final ranking in the survival competition, but rather how they themselves will perform in the contest.
When Xiao Porter joined the Boca Academy team, he was already dreaming of becoming the hero who would defeat Almirus Academy. But now, even before the battle began, Frank had already sidelined him. It’s easy to imagine how frustrated and disappointed Xiao Porter must feel right now. With no chance to prove himself, he now secretly hopes that the students from Boca Academy and Nancy Academy will suffer a major defeat when they face off against Almirus Academy.
Given Harry Potter’s character, if he could still follow Frank’s orders and quickly join forces with the Mind Arts department, it would be nothing short of a miracle!
“Hmph! That Frank guy! Settling personal scores under the guise of duty! Without my help, do you really think that rookie Finny and those useless folks from Nancy Academy can handle the people from Almisius Academy? Hmph! A bunch of short-sighted fools, just wait to get beaten black and blue by Almisius Academy!” Fuming with anger towards Frank, little Potter not only trudged slowly southward but also kept gnashing his teeth and grumbling along the way.
For a full half hour, Xiao Bot had only managed to walk less than two-thirds of a mile. Compared to Xiao Bot’s fifth-level physical abilities, this speed was even slower than a turtle’s!
The consequence of Xiao Boter’s slow advance was that he soon realized the martial arts team led by Frank had already chased after Zhang Wen and his group so far ahead that they were out of sight. Meanwhile, his teammates from the Psychic Arts division were still more than an hour’s journey behind him.
“Hey! What a fool I am! Why did I push myself so hard to rush back? Why not just rest here for an hour? After all, those from the spellcasting department will catch up sooner or later. Won’t we naturally regroup then?” With this thought, little Potter, stranded in the middle of nowhere, had a sudden change of heart. He decided to abandon his plan to continue southward and instead looked for a place to take a break.
However, just as Xiao Porter had found a shady spot with thick foliage and was about to start dozing off, he suddenly heard an unusual rustling sound coming from a distance.
“What’s going on? Could it be a magical beast?” Little Potter hastily opened his eyes, scanning his surroundings with heightened alertness.
When he was at the academy, Xiao Porter had heard countless rumors about the Sandra Forest. In those gossip-filled tales circulating from unknown sources, the Sandra Forest was consistently depicted as a place akin to hell itself. In this terrifying forest, man-eating beasts and monsters capable of melting humans into water roamed everywhere.
Although young Potter had always regarded those rumors as mere jokes before entering Sandra Forest, once he found himself alone within the forest, he could no longer prevent himself from recalling those spine-chilling stories. Especially now, as the sun that had once hung over Sandra Forest had already set, and darkness was rapidly closing in.
Shasha…
The sound of the trees shaking was getting closer and closer to Xiao Bote. As the distance between them continuously shortened, Xiao Bote became increasingly terrified. Because whatever it was, it was approaching him at an incredibly fast speed!
Even in the Academy’s principal, a ten-stage expert whom Xiao Bo had some admiration for, he had never seen such speed! Moreover, that creature wasn’t running on flat ground, but rather in the difficult terrain of a forest!
“That… that must not be a human!” Xiao Bot’s face had already turned somewhat pale. Almost instinctively, he tightened his grip on the crystal energy sword in his hand. However, don’t for a moment think that this means Xiao Bot possessed great courage and was determined to fight the opponent to the death. The reason Xiao Bot didn’t turn and run was simply because he had been completely paralyzed with fear.
“It’s coming… It’s coming…” Little Potter’s legs trembled as he watched the waves in the bushes hurtling toward him like arrows released from a bow.
Just as the thing was about to dash right in front of Xiao Boter, the rustling in the bushes suddenly stopped! Everything seemed as if nothing had ever happened, becoming calm and peaceful again. However, this silence didn’t calm Xiao Boter’s nerves at all; instead, it made his inner fear grow even more intense. His surroundings were just too quiet! The silence was so overwhelming that Xiao Boter couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
Just as Porter Jr. was about to give in to the growing fear and was nearly about to shout out in frustration, a casual glance downward caught his attention, instantly silencing all his impulses.
Because, little Potter spotted a hazy shadow on the ground! The owner of that shadow was unmistakably looming right behind him!
“Ahh!” Half a moment later, the terrified little Potter let out a scream as he turned around. However, what nearly made his heart stop beating was the sudden realization that, behind him, there was absolutely nothing! And yet, on the ground, that strange shadow still loomed right behind him, never moving away for even an inch!
Ghost… It must be a ghost! Cold sweat soaked through Little Porter’s body in an instant. He thought with a pale face, his fear rapidly expanding like a geometric multiplier as time passed.
“Ahh!” After a few seconds, the young Potter, unable to endure the torment of fear any longer, finally let out a piercing scream and fled in a panic, not caring about anything else.
At this moment, young Potter finally grasped the true meaning of the saying, “Only the unseen fear is the real fear.” He felt as if the howling wind in his ears had transformed into the ghost’s haunting cries. He didn’t even have the courage to glance back, sprinting over ten kilometers in one breath until he dashed into the ranks of the Bocca Academy’s Spellcasting Department.
However, after Young Porter gradually calmed down, comforted by several companions, and was about to explain to them the strange incident he had just encountered, he suddenly realized with a jolt that in his frantic rush to escape, he had completely forgotten all about the small pouch containing the six badges.
“Quick! I was in such a rush just now that I left all the badges somewhere else! You two should check with your sensing abilities right away; we need to set off immediately to search for them!” Knowing how crucial the badges were, Xiao Bot also became anxious and hastily approached the two teachers leading the Mind Arts group.
The teachers from the Incantation Department at Boca Academy usually had quite a bit of tension with those from the Physical Arts Department. Seeing the Physical Arts students now at a disadvantage, the Incantation teacher immediately realized that his moment to shine had finally arrived!
“There’s no need to rush. Within the radius of several dozen kilometers around here, there are only two teams altogether: our Bocca Academy and Nancy Academy. Moreover, there’s only the Almishus Academy, which is currently under attack by Mr. Frank and his group. Steal our academy’s badge? Heh heh, unless a competing team drops down from the sky.” After exchanging a glance with the teacher from Nancy Academy, the instructor from Bocca Academy’s Grimoire Department slowly closed his eyes, having finished speaking at a leisurely pace, and began to focus on sensing the surroundings.
However, not long after closing his eyes, a teacher from the Department of Incantations at Bocca Academy frowned deeply. “Huh? Strange…” He opened his eyes and muttered to himself in confusion.
“What’s strange? Could it be that our badges are missing?” Little Potter was greatly startled and hurriedly pressed for an answer.
“No, that’s not it. But… could there be something wrong with my telepathic skills? Just now when I was sensing, I felt as if those six badges were right here with us! Strange! How could that be possible?” The telepathy instructor tightly furrowed his brows, looking around in confusion.
“Heh, nothing to be surprised about! Your badges are indeed right here,” a lazy male voice suddenly echoed within the joint team of Bocca Academy and Nancy Academy’s Spellcasting Department. Seconds later, they were astonished to see a male teacher with the emblem of Almithes Academy on his chest and four girls bearing the same badge emerge from the direction where little Potter had just come from!
Obviously, they were none other than Zhang Wen from the Almeshi Academy, along with the four female trainees from his team.
“Artemis Academy?! This… this can’t be possible!” The teacher from Bocca Academy’s Department of Incantation techniques took several steps backward in shock. He could hardly believe his own eyes. Wasn’t the Artemis Academy’s representative team being watched by that honorable warrior named Vento and about to be ambushed by Frank and his men? How could they suddenly appear here?
“Hehe, can’t figure it out? No problem. Your survival competition ends here this time. After you return, you’ll all have plenty of time to think it through thoroughly.” Zhang Wen smiled faintly and made a “please” gesture toward the four girls beside him, who were eagerly ready to act.
“Hmph! Fool, you really underestimate us. Do you think the five of you can defeat the seven of us? Hehe! Even if our spellcasting students can’t beat you, we have two teachers on our side! With your seventh-tier strength, do you really think you can take on both of us?” The spellcasting teacher from Boka Academy struggled with indignation.
“Is that so?” Zhang Wen slightly curled his lips. In the next moment, his figure had already abruptly appeared beside the faculty member from the Nen Arts Department at Borka Academy…
Half an hour later, all teams participating in the survival competition suddenly received the same message: “Boca Academy, Nancy Academy, all badges have been taken by Almishus Academy, the first two are eliminated.”
