Chapter 427 – Yuge Breaks Through
“Then if we continue moving in the mountain range, will we still be welcomed by their attacks?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
Tang Yuge said, “The Earth Spirits are slightly better. They have a generous nature and are not keen on attacking. I will use my own earth element aura to protect everyone and let the Earth Spirits think that we are the same species as them, so that they won’t attack us. The problem is outside the mountain range. Outside the mountain range is a world of metal elements. The metal elements are sharp by nature and will be more hostile towards us, so they will definitely attack us. Also, their attacks will be very strong. This is the feeling I got from the Earth Spirits. So, we have to be more careful once we’re out of the mountain range.”
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath and said, “We still have to continue with our mission. Once we’re out of the mountain range, we’ll act according to the situation. We’ll return as soon as we get the rare metal we need for our mission. As for the matter about invasion, senior sister shouldn’t think too much about it. When we return, we’ll ask the teacher and get him to answer our doubts.”
Tang Yuge nodded silently.
“Why are you thinking so much? Our Shrek Academy has always loved peace and is unwilling to invade. But the development of this planet clearly has a lot to do with the academy. Obviously, the academy agrees with the Federation’s idea of development. We definitely won’t exploit planets to the extent of destruction. Some people just don’t have good brains,” Yuanen Huihui suddenly said.
Upon hearing his words, Tang Yuge was stunned for a moment. ‘That’s right! The academy allowed them to complete their end-of-year assessment here, so this Resource Planet must have something to do with the academy. Shrek Academy has always been peace-loving and holds a neutral position in the Federation. If the academy can approve of it, the exploitation of this planet shouldn’t be destructive for it.’
“I agree with Huihui,” Dong Qianqiu said. “After the Federation started the interstellar migration, although I’m not sure of their specific policy, but since the Federation has been able to develop two planets for the soul beasts, they will definitely think about the ecosystem of the planets that we are occupying. We should ask teacher when we get back.”
“En.” Tang Yuge nodded her head, then she suddenly looked at Yuanen Huihui coldly. “Don’t get cocky. I’ll deal with you when we get back.”
Yuanen Huihui puffed up his chest and wanted to say, “Do you think I’m afraid of you, huh?” But when the words were at the tip of his tongue, he looked at Tang Yuge’s cold gaze and didn’t dare to say it out loud. He didn’t know why, but ever since he saw her for the first time, Yuanen Huihui would naturally get afraid.
“Alright, let’s continue moving then. Yuge, sorry to trouble you,” Lan Xuanyu said to Tang Yuge.
They set off once again and Tang Yuge released her fifth soul skill, causing everyone to be surrounded by an earth element aura. As expected, there were no more attacks from the Earth Spirits along the way.
Those Earth Spirits were fused with the mountain rocks. According to Tang Yuge, wherever they went, the mountain peaks and hills they passed by would have different density of earth elements. The denser ones would have Earth Spirits.
Because of the previous delay and their careful journey, when they finally arrived at the edge of the mountain range, five hours had already passed. At this moment, 56 hours had already passed since the start of the mission. There was only slightly more than half of the 120 hours left.
Lan Xuanyu frowned as he stood at the peak of a tall mountain and looked out. His vision outside the mountain range was blurry.
From where they were, the world outside the mountain range seemed to have turned yellow amidst the whirlwinds. This was different from the snowstorm in the mountain range.
“A dense metal element aura,” Tang Yuge said to Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu said, “If you use the metal elements to protect us, can you block the attacks from those Metal Spirits?”
Tang Yuge said, “It’s hard to say. It depends on how strong they are. According to the feeling I got from the Earth Spirits, Metal Spirits are much stronger than them and are especially violent. They seem to have mutated. So everyone must be careful. I’m afraid you’ll really have to use your Spirit Shield.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “I checked the map just now and the direction over there is where two types of rare metals converge. We’ll take less and leave once we have enough.”
Tang Yuge said, “I have an idea. It might bring us more benefits.”
“En?” Lan Xuanyu looked at her doubtfully.
Tang Yuge said, “I’m already at the peak of rank 59, just a step away from rank 60. Earth elements here are so concentrated, if I have some time, I might be able to break through and reach rank 60. After rank 60, I will obtain a special soul skill that will be of great help to our extraction.”
“Can you tell me?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
Tang Yuge nodded and whispered in his ear.
“You mean that...?” Lan Xuanyu was surprised.
“En, it should be possible. But when the time comes, all of you have to buy me some time, enough for me to create sufficient space for everyone.”
“How long do you need to break through?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
Tang Yuge said, “I can’t make a precise judgment, but it shouldn’t be more than ten hours.”
Lan Xuanyu replied without hesitation, “Alright, then you can break through here. We will protect you and everyone can take a break.”
Rank 60! Tang Yuge was about to reach rank 60. How envious ! Rank 60 Soul Emperor.
Although Lan Xuanyu’s mother, Nan Cheng, was also rank 60, he knew that Tang Yuge’s rank 60 was completely different from his mother’s rank 60.
Tang Yuge, who was a rank-60 Soul Emperor, could probably crush everyone other than Yuanen Huihui. Even Huihui would not be her opponent as he didn’t have a Battle Armor.
Lan Xuanyu called his teammates to his side and they built another ice house at the top of the mountain. Tang Yuge began meditating.
Yuanen Huihui had a complicated look in his eyes as he looked at Tang Yuge, who was sitting cross-legged.
Tang Yuge was considered young among the third years, she was only 15 years old now. 15 years old and a rank 60 Soul Emperor. She was definitely a top genius in the entire Federation. With this cultivation, as long as she had her Two-Word Battle Armor in a year or two, she would definitely be able to enter the Inner Court. When she would graduate from the Outer Court, breaking through to rank 70 would not be a problem. Her future was limitless.
Ever since Yuanen Huihui’s soul power broke through rank 50, he realized that his speed of improvement had slowed down. After his Second Awakening, his speed had increased. But he was only rank 56 now. In addition, he still had to make his Battle Armor, so he felt that he might not be able to reach rank 60 by the end of his first school year. Although he was still young, he had a feeling that he would never be able to catch up to Tang Yuge.
“What are you thinking about?” Qian Lei nudged Yuanen Huihui.
“She’s already at rank 60! I just broke through rank 56. Cultivating from rank 50 to rank 60 is so slow!” Yuanen Huihui sighed.
“I don’t want to talk to you, do you know that?” Qian Lei said in annoyance. You’re only rank 56? Then who am I going to talk to when I’m only at rank 30? And we’re the same age.
“Keep quiet.” Lan Xuanyu looked at the two of them and felt helpless. Comparing yourself to other people was not good for your mental health ! Were they really the same age?
Yuanen Huihui was the most monstrous among them. He wasn’t even 13 years old yet, but he was already at rank 56. His bloodline and cultivation speed were simply blessed by the heavens. When he would graduate from the Outer Court, he didn’t know how far he could go. Furthermore, his Martial Soul had gone through a Second Awakening. After this awakening, his attack strength had increased substantially and he also had his powerful innate ability : the Eye of Samsara. Compared to him, although Tang Yuge was very strong, her soul power rank was at least 10 ranks lower at his age.
