The communication between Ancient God Chaos and Divine Beast White Dragon had nothing to do with Fang Lin Kong, who was not interested in what these two ancient cosmic-level creatures were discussing. Moreover, Fang Lin Kong had a basic understanding of Chinese but only knew how to choose four letters in bird language. The exchange between these two extraordinary beings was conducted through direct mental waves, and Fang Lin Kong's mental level was insufficient to penetrate their communication.
Suddenly, without any warning, Fang Lin Kong found the space around him collapsing. As he stepped onto a patch of lush grassland, he heard the voice of Divine Beast White Dragon booming like thunder.
"Thank you for helping us break free from our constraints! I gift you this dragon horn. In the future, you can come to Dragon King Star and receive a warm welcome from my kin..."
"Hmph! I am Chaos! Since you helped me communicate with this White Dragon and break the trapped realm, I will not pursue the matter further. This item is given to you; take care of it! Without the energy support from me and White Dragon, this space will gradually collapse within a few hundred years! You must leave immediately!"
Fang Lin Kong looked around in confusion but saw nothing. Remembering the hardships he had endured to finally escape that damned place, his mood lifted significantly.
Just as he was about to turn and search for an exit, something suddenly struck him silently on the head. The object came so unexpectedly that even Fang Lin Kong could not evade it. He reached out and grabbed whatever had hit him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a thin metal sheet covered in countless patterns, appearing almost transparent when held up. After staring at it for a while, all Fang Lin Kong could feel was resentment towards Ancient God Chaos for being so stingy; he couldn't figure out what use this item could possibly have.
Now that he had returned to Zero Boiling Point, Fang Lin Kong believed completing his mission would be a piece of cake. His first task was naturally to find Lin Yu and Ye Lisha. Casually putting away Ancient God Chaos's gift, he restored his ordinary youthful appearance and concealed his divine armor within himself. Otherwise, his fierce and menacing look would not be suitable for meeting anyone.
Scratching his head, Fang Lin Kong smiled brightly and muttered to himself, "Looking for someone? This thing is definitely the most convenient!"
He simply let his hands hang down and spread his fingers wide; dozens of golden Light Spots scattered in all directions. It was the Wutu Zhenluo that Liexiezi had used to ambush his senior brother Voidbreaker back in the day. Although using Wutu Zhenluo as Seeking Demon Bugs seemed like overkill, these ancient alien locusts were indeed very useful.
Chen Mingbin and Wen Yi were currently in dire straits after falling out with their teammates. The accumulated resentment between both sides finally erupted. The disparity in strength was evident; they had not been turned into minced meat only thanks to Chen Mingbin's exceptional mastery of Wind Element Spells, which allowed him to outpace even the Unicorn Dragon.
However, Wen Yi's body was simply too heavy for Chen Mingbin's wind riding technique to sustain for long. After several encounters with members of the Dark Alliance, Chen Mingbin sustained significant injuries during their battles.
With their newfound mounts, the Dark Alliance's strength surged dramatically. If most of them hadn't been eager to attend to their own missions without much thought for the chase, even if Chen Mingbin's speed doubled, he wouldn't have been able to prolong the fight until now.
Stumbling onto solid ground, Chen Mingbin took a difficult breath and expelled the pent-up frustration from his chest. At this moment, he was utterly exhausted and could hardly move another step. Wen Yi had a broken thigh bone and hadn't had a chance to treat it over the past few days; although Chen Mingbin tried his best to protect him, the hardships of fighting and fleeing had nearly cost him half his life. Now, Wen Yi looked as if he were on the brink of death, filled with regret for having acted so impulsively back then and falling out with Fang Lin Kong.
“Old Chen! If it doesn't work out, just leave me behind! Go find Fang Lin Kong and help me take revenge!”
Wen Yi hung his head in despair, starting to give up and suggesting that Chen Mingbin escape alone.
Chen Mingbin coldly refused, saying, “Wen Yi, stop pretending! You're so afraid of dying, but you only talk big. Deep down, you're terrified! Let's hold on a little longer; we might still find Fang Lin Kong and the others. Then we won't have to fear those guys anymore! Just endure a bit longer!”
Wen Yi cried, snot and tears streaming down his face. He spoke bravely, but inside he was utterly dejected.
“How long are we going to keep running like this? Those guys are really ruthless; they're still following us! I wasn't the one who started it!”
Chen Mingbin became impatient at this point and replied coldly, “Wen Yi, won’t you reflect on yourself? Stop blaming others! Why don’t you blame yourself for insisting on fighting over that Unicorn Dragon King? If you had caused less trouble, we wouldn’t be in this situation!”
Wen Yi immediately lowered his head at Chen Mingbin's words. Having learned his lesson, he realized that his recent behavior had been somewhat erratic. Before he had any superpowers, Wen Yi was quite amiable; he wouldn’t get too angry when people scolded or insulted him. However, ever since gaining Magic Power, the resentment from being looked down upon could no longer be hidden. Subconsciously, Wen Yi could no longer tolerate being belittled or having someone stronger than him. This painful experience had a profound impact on Wen Yi’s mental growth, reshaping his life in a way. Of course, any insights akin to “hearing the Dao in the morning and dying in the evening” held little value for someone as ordinary as Wen Yi.
“Stop it! Chen Mingbin, I know I was wrong. When I see Fang Lin Kong, I will apologize! I’m really sorry for dragging you into this!”
Chen Mingbin's expression remained icy; he merely snorted in response. However, if he truly blamed Wen Yi, he wouldn’t have been so furious when Wen Yi was attacked. Even after experiencing life-and-death situations together with Fang Lin Kong and the disqualified Ma Jingjie, their bond was no longer comparable to that of ordinary high school classmates.
Wen Yi said a few more words before focusing on healing his injuries with spiritual energy. As long as there was some spiritual energy in a living being, they would possess a self-healing ability that surpassed that of ordinary animals. Although he hadn’t specifically trained in spiritual healing, Wen Yi had seen related lessons in the materials left by Auronvijin. At this moment, he could only try to alleviate his pain.
While he couldn’t heal his fractured leg completely, using spiritual energy to numb the pain worked quite well. Otherwise, running like this would have caused the chubby boy unbearable agony.
Chen Mingbin kept watch for any signs of pursuers while also trying to recover his own spiritual energy to relieve his fatigued body.
Once Wen Yi had tended to his injuries, he formed hand seals and began cultivating his magic power. On their escape route, if it weren’t for Wen Yi’s fireball technique holding them back, Chen Mingbin would have struggled to escape while carrying a burden. Through their numerous battles, both of their magical abilities had nearly returned to the level found in real society. Moreover, their combat skills and experience were far beyond what they had before. In the relentless pursuit and life-and-death struggles they faced together, both gained immense benefits.
“Wen Yi! Where do you think Fang Lin Kong is now? That day we saw him running toward us, but now we can’t find him anywhere. And where did Lin Yu and Ye Lisha go?”
Wen Yi did not rush to answer Chen Mingbin's question. He let the flame magic circulate slowly within his body for a while, until the meridians were filled with a surging magical energy, before returning to the reality of the situation.
"I don't know what's going on either, but I have a feeling that when Fang Lin Kong shows up again, he will have even more secrets. Here, everyone starts from the same point, but Fang Lin Kong can always get ahead of us, cultivating to become stronger, and even changing his mount every day. This guy will definitely be even stronger!"
Chen Mingbin nodded. Even when they were just ordinary high school students, Fang Lin Kong was always peculiar. He would travel to Tibet alone and often did things at school that others couldn't manage. Although the four friends had no hierarchy among them, Fang Lin Kong always took the lead in everything.
Just as the two of them caught their breath, they heard a soft, eerie laugh.
"You two recover quickly. I only waited a little while before I can continue my hunting game."
A tall and thin man in his thirties floated down to the ground. The Demon Hunter Exam was not something just anyone could participate in; without profound spiritual power and practical experience, one would only embarrass themselves here. Thus, it was usually those who had cultivated for decades that attempted to join. Youngsters like Fang Lin Kong made up at most one-tenth of the participants. Most were adults in their twenties or thirties. Of course, there were also a fair number of middle-aged men in their forties and fifties and elderly perverts in their seventies and eighties.
"Wen Yi! Get up and prepare for battle!"
Chen Mingbin immediately calmed down and issued a brief command. Wen Yi struggled to support a leg that he could not use at all, flames swirling in his hand as he spread his fingers forward, ready to launch a Magic Fireball at any moment.
"We have no grievances with you. That boy saved you too, right? Why do you keep trailing behind us like a Fallen Boot Ghost?"
The man spoke in a half-baked, strange accent of Chinese: "I wouldn't chase you down just for that unfamiliar child. To me, you are very interesting prey! In fact, I enjoy hunting not only monsters but also humans. Especially resilient humans like you. It's quite a challenge!"
"Damn! So you're a pervert! You must have twisted thoughts from being exposed to too much darkness in society! Were you raised by being thrown into a toilet as a child?"
Wen Yi couldn't help but curse back upon hearing that he was being hunted for such reasons.
"Hehe! You probably don't know that many people seek the Demon Hunter License just to kill more conveniently. Besides me, there are several others who are quite interested in you! But I'm lucky enough to find you first!"
"Then you should go die first!"
Chen Mingbin had long prepared the Wind Blade in his hand. Seeing that his opponent seemed quite pleased, revealing a hint of carelessness and flaw in his demeanor, he immediately struck without hesitation. Wen Yi's palm suddenly split into five fireballs, shooting out violently. This was the result of his latest training insights.
"Die, you perverted man! Let you taste the power of my fragmentation fireball!"
After numerous battles, the two had developed an intimate cooperation. The tall and slim man did not expect that as soon as they decided to fight, they would actually engage. He hurriedly retreated, creating countless afterimages, but still received a slash from Kazama's Wind Blade. His waist was further scorched by Wen Yi's fireball, leaving a charred mark.
Although injured, the Tall and Slim Man let out a fierce roar, suddenly exuding a menacing aura. His slender figure unleashed a powerful force that shattered the ground beneath him, sending dirt flying everywhere as he charged forward aggressively.
Despite Chen Mingbin's astonishing speed, he dared not evade. With Wen Yi unable to move freely, he could only brace himself for a hard fight. He brandished his Eagle-Type Sniper Rifle and fired four bullets in quick succession.
Clang! Clang! Clang! The crisp sounds of metal colliding rang out. The Tall and Slim Man revealed a dagger in his hand, skillfully changing its angle to deflect Chen Mingbin's energy bullets.
Roar!
Confronted by such a fierce enemy, Chen Mingbin stood firm and raised his Eagle-Type Sniper Rifle to block the dagger wielded by the Tall and Slim Man. He had no idea what alloy the dagger was made of, but its sharpness was unparalleled. The Demon-Breaking Alloy crafted rifle body cut through the air.
Relying on his swift movements, Chen Mingbin leaned back to avoid the incoming dagger and rolled away clumsily, breaking into a cold sweat.
"This is bad! Wen Yi over there..."
As Chen Mingbin dodged, Wen Yi would naturally become the next target for their enemy. Realizing this, Chen Mingbin's body sprang up like a carp leaping from water. Without losing momentum, he generated a powerful whirlwind with his hands and fiercely pursued the aggressive figure.
At that moment, Wen Yi also understood that his life was hanging by a thread. A flash of red fire flickered in his palm as he swung out with all his might. The Flame Slash surged forth with a massive fiery tail, transforming into a stunning arc as it flew.
Oh! Oh...
The Tall and Slim Man displayed his seasoned combat experience once again; his figure blurred and created several illusions. However, Wen Yi and Chen Mingbin had never undergone systematic training and were completely unaware of such deceptive techniques. Confronted by this bewildering display, they closed their eyes and fought back blindly without understanding what they were up against.
Realizing this, the Tall and Slim Man couldn't help but let out a muffled groan as he changed his tactics once more. He countered Wen Yi's Flame Slash while responding to Chen Mingbin's whirlwind energy. With that single move, the three of them separated. Chen Mingbin acted swiftly, using the momentum to redirect the force, but he only managed to spit out a mouthful of blood. Wen Yi was sent flying by the backlash from the Flame Sword, feeling as if his entire body was about to fall apart.
The most unfortunate one was the Tall and Slim Man. He was caught between the two forces; truth be told, although his combat skills surpassed those of Wen Yi and Chen Mingbin, his spiritual energy did not exceed their combined strength. This straightforward clash left him battered by the two immense forces, resulting in six or seven broken bones and blood gushing from him like a fountain.
Chen Mingbin struggled to steady himself, intending to help Wen Yi up, when he heard a voice that made his expression change drastically.
"So these two little guys have such fighting spirit! I really like it!"
Several shadowy figures emerged in response, each looking rather sinister.
Although Chen Mingbin could still fight with difficulty, his strength had been greatly diminished, and Wen Yi could barely lift his arms. Surrounded by enemies at this moment, it seemed unlikely they would find an opportunity to escape. In the Dark World, laws and rules were not respected; both Chen Mingbin and Wen Yi had no doubt these people would kill them.
"This prey is of no value anymore. Let's all attack together and kill them!"
It was unclear who made the suggestion, but it was met with immediate agreement. Dozens of hands radiated various colors of light as spiritual energy began to converge. They planned to use the Spirit Wave Cannon to obliterate Chen Mingbin and Wen Yi in one fell swoop.
"Every time I participate in this exam, there are endless opportunities for killing. I absolutely love this Hunter Exam!"
A young man wearing a knitted hat shouted as he launched the attack. Soon, countless waves of light covered the ground where Chen Mingbin and Wen Yi stood.
Moreover, the tall and slim man received no sympathy; it was unclear who had slightly miscalculated their aim, but the coverage of the Spirit Wave Cannon did not miss this target that had lost its ability to resist.
In an instant, Chen Mingbin thought he was undoubtedly doomed and closed his eyes in despair. However, when he felt no pain at all on his body and opened his eyes again, he saw a layer of yellow light enveloping him and Wen Yi. It formed a hemispherical barrier that absorbed the attack from those individuals' Spirit Wave Cannon without any sign of wavering.
"My God! Is it possible that God has abandoned His vacation to save us mere mortals?"
"Have you ever believed in this merciful deity?"
"I was just about to convert!" Chen Mingbin replied instinctively.
But in the blink of an eye, he realized something was off. The shock that surged through him was indescribable when he discovered that the one he was talking to was a golden locust. "In this day and age! Even locusts are acting as saviors!"
"Idiot! I am Fang Lin Kong. This is my Seeking Demon Bug!"
Seeing the talking locust was like encountering a monster, and Chen Mingbin struggled to find the right words. Wen Yi interjected, "Could it be that God sent Fang Lin Kong, transformed into a locust, to save us?"
"You two idiots, just wait until I arrive; I'll show you how to deal with you!"
Since cultivating the Azure and Golden Qi within the Ancient God Chaos, Fang Lin Kong finally understood how to construct his own defensive barrier. Before this, he could only rely on the magical artifacts he carried to form a protective shield. It was because of this insight that he could utilize part of his power through the Seeking Demon Bug to rescue Wen Yi and Chen Mingbin. If it had been the Fang Lin Kong from several days ago, he would have been powerless to stop his friends from being killed.
Fang Lin Kong found Chen Mingbin and Wen Yi. Although he was confident that the shield formed by Wutu Zhenluo could not be broken by those perverted candidates, he did not want to waste any time.
"Control the Qi to the heavens, wielding the celestial sword! Liexiezi! Let's go!"
Even on Earth, Fang Lin Kong had never tried flying with a sword. First, he wasn't very skilled at this Spell yet; second, the power of Liexiezi was immense, leaving behind a blue electric tail that could stretch for miles. In his moment of urgency, he decided not to think too much about it.
The speed of Liexie Twin Hooks was incredibly fast, surpassing even the fastest fighter jets. Fang Lin Kong wasn't too far from where Wen Yi and Chen Mingbin were attacked; in just a moment, the electric fire rainbow formed by Liexie Twin Hooks reached them.
At that moment, those attacking Chen Mingbin and Wen Yi sensed something was wrong. They saw the pale yellow transparent shield surrounding the two and were utterly astonished. In battle, Demon Hunters had high demands for defense; over the years, whether it was the Eastern Immortal Path or Western Demon Hunting Teams or the newly emerging American Exorcist Guild, each had its unique defensive methods. However, there was one threshold that could not be crossed: each person's spiritual energy cultivation level. To form a perfect defensive shield required at least an energy value of eight hundred or above.
On Earth, having a Spirit Value over eight hundred already made one quite formidable. The candidates paused and exchanged glances, stunned by what they saw before them. When Fang Lin Kong rode down on his sword light from above, there was no need for him to take action; his mere presence was enough to clear the area.
Standing proudly in place and watching the scattered crowd flee in panic, Fang Lin Kong had no interest in killing them. He simply retracted Wutu Zhenluo with one hand and glanced at his disheveled friends before bursting into laughter without any grace as he plopped down on the ground. "You two must have suffered enough! Seeing you like this truly makes me feel pity for you!"
Being mocked by Fang Lin Kong, Wen Yi surprisingly felt no annoyance at all this time.
"Fang Lin Kong! My leg has been broken for days, and you show no sympathy at all!"
"Oh! How did you break your leg?"
Fang Lin Kong, unaware of what had transpired between the two, walked over and placed a hand on Wen Yi's thigh. His healing powers were a hundred times stronger than Wen Yi's meager attempts. In an instant, there was a crack as the broken bone realigned. Then, amidst Wen Yi's grimacing, the muscles, skin, and meridians rapidly healed.
Noticing the poor condition of Wen Yi, Fang Lin Kong's anger flared slightly as he said, "Had I known these people were so despicable, I would have gone on a killing spree!"
Wen Yi quickly intervened, saying, "Fang Lin Kong, just let it go! The last time you killed someone, we were all terrified. Didn't it cause a huge mess afterward? We're supposed to be the charming youths of the new century; let's not ruin our image!"
Chen Mingbin relaxed and couldn't help but laugh at Wen Yi's antics. His expression began to soften as he playfully kicked Wen Yi's plump backside and teased, "If you're the charming youth of the new century, then I must be the new music idol! I'm at least ten times more handsome than you!"
After joking with Chen Mingbin for a while, Wen Yi felt a surge of energy within him; his injuries had completely healed. He curiously addressed Fang Lin Kong, who was still pressing on his thigh with a contemplative look. "Although I consider myself quite charming, you don't need to enjoy touching my thigh so much. Why don't you take your hand away?"
Fang Lin Kong was deep in thought about spatial laws. If anyone understood this exam's spatial dynamics, it would be him—no one on Earth could surpass his knowledge. He came from the lineage of the Divine Beast White Dragon, which created space. Normally, Wen Yi and Chen Mingbin's energy here couldn't be brought back to Earth. However, Fang Lin Kong felt a faint understanding emerging and thought he might try something.
While Wen Yi was joking around, he suddenly felt as if a small hole had been pierced in his body, and an energy flowed in rapidly. He exclaimed, "Hey! Fang Lin Kong, what are you doing?"
Fang Lin Kong stood up with satisfaction and said, "It's nothing much; I'm just helping you double your power. Moreover, this boost will be something you can take back with you!"
Wen Yi jumped up in excitement. Spreading his fingers wide, he discovered that his Fire Magic power had indeed increased significantly. The fire column in his palm shot up seven or eight meters high like fireworks in the New Year.
Chen Mingbin looked on with envy and was about to speak when Fang Lin Kong raised a hand to stop him and said to Chen Mingbin, "Wen Yi is lazy; there's no need for you to follow his example. Skills must be honed through personal effort to be truly valuable."
Seeing Chen Mingbin's wry smile, Fang Lin Kong burst into hearty laughter.
At that moment, Wutu Zhenluo had already tracked down Ye Lisha and Lin Yu's whereabouts. Fang Lin Kong casually summoned three Unicorn Dragons and beckoned Wen Yi and the others to board.
Wen Yi was quite happy to finally have his own mount, so he immediately chose the tallest one and climbed on.
Fang Lin Kong noticed that Chen Mingbin still looked displeased, so he comforted him, saying, "There are many ways to increase strength, but there's only one way to elevate your realm, and that is through personal comprehension. A lazy fellow like Wen Yi will never think about cultivating to a higher realm in his lifetime, but you still have a chance. Relying on external forces to increase spiritual energy is not a good thing!"
Chen Mingbin shrugged and replied, "I don't really care; I just feel frustrated that I might be worse than that fat guy Wen Yi!"
Wen Yi was furious upon hearing this and was about to argue back, but Chen Mingbin didn't give him the chance. He leaped onto another Unicorn Dragon and urged it to gallop away. Fang Lin Kong followed closely behind, and Wen Yi, unwilling to fall behind, spurred his own Unicorn Dragon.
Finally regrouping with Fang Lin Kong, Wen Yi and Chen Mingbin were ready to complete their assessments. The three friends had each made progress in their abilities and no longer feared the magical beasts in this area.
After the three departed on their Unicorn Dragons, a clear-eyed young man quietly gazed at the grassland that had just been trampled by Fang Lin Kong's landing. The electric aura of the Liexie Twin Hooks had scorched the vegetation, and Dinaus's eyes sparkled with unprecedented brilliance.
"An impressive fellow! To raise his strength to such a level in such a short time. I must see how I measure up against him!"
Dinaus stepped forward, and as he walked, the soil beneath him suddenly erupted into blazing golden flames. The boy, hailed as the most outstanding genius of the Flame Lion Family in a thousand years, had already regained the power of the Golden Fighting Flame.
