Heroes' Prison

Chapter 839 - 793: The Woman in White

"Ding!" When his Bloodstained War Halberd fiercely struck the Dandelion, it emitted a sound like metal colliding, as if it wasn’t hitting the fragile-looking Dandelion, but solid metal, forming a stark contrast with its delicate appearance.

This Dandelion was imbued with the Power of the Formation, making it exceptionally resilient, capable of withstanding even his formidable Attack Power.

"Heavy Judgment!" Huang Yi unleashed his strongest Attack skill, striking the Dandelion again.

But the same scene unfolded once more—his attack had no effect. The Dandelion remained intact, its capacity to withstand damage astonishing. At this rate, who knows how long it would take to completely destroy it!

"Boom!" At that moment, a deafening explosion echoed from the distance. Faintly visible were several massive trees being pushed down by someone with Brute Force, creating a tremendous commotion.

The two Half-Beastmen were closing in, leaving Huang Yi with very little time. Relying on Physical Attacks alone was clearly not enough to destroy this Formation Eye.

He quickly opened his Formation textbook again, flipping through it rapidly, trying to see if he could find a faster method to break the formation.

Suddenly, his eyes inadvertently scanned the corner of one page, where Dragon Spike had left a note—

"Only when your strength vastly exceeds the one who set up the formation should you consider breaking it with brute force. If your strength is weaker than the one who set it, use the method that is most aligned with the Formation Eye to dismantle it systematically."

"The method most aligned with the Formation Eye..." Huang Yi pondered these words, then turned his gaze back to the Dandelion.

At that moment, a gust of eerie wind stirred, making his hair flutter slightly.

He froze. The element most aligned with a Dandelion was undoubtedly wind. Whenever people think of dandelions, they immediately associate them with wind—they are practically inseparable companions!

Using Wind Skills to destroy this Dandelion should work seamlessly!

But Huang Yi lacked Wind Attribute Attack methods; he was merely a warrior. His Magic Skills were scarce, and among the few he had, End of the World was Fire Attribute, and Storm of Thunder Clouds was Thunder Attributes—none involved Wind.

He quickly flipped through the items in his storage ring to see if he had any Wind Attribute Magic Scrolls or Potions.

Luckily, he found a Magic Scroll—a Gale Technique!

This was a scroll he had purchased at some point and had kept in his storage ring without ever using it.

Though the Gale Technique was merely a low-level Wind Spell and typically inconsequential, in this moment, it was impossibly precious—more enticing than even Forbidden Magic.

Without hesitation, Huang Yi activated the Magic Scroll and unleashed the Gale Technique sealed within.

"Whoosh!" Instantly, a gust of wild wind erupted, making Huang Yi’s cloak flap loudly!

The Dandelion was finally blown into motion, its seeds lifting into the air. The Formation Eye began to loosen! Huang Yi had indeed found the right method!

"God of Slaughter, I can’t believe you actually found the Formation Eye!" At that moment, the surprised voice of the Half-Beastmen’s archer rang out in the distance. Along with his words came a sharply angled arrow; it weaved through gaps between the towering trees, accurately aiming for Huang Yi with a piercing whistle!

Hearing the sound, Huang Yi instinctively shifted to the side, narrowly avoiding the arrow—it had nearly hit him!

He turned to look in the direction the arrow had come from, noticing that the two Half-Beastmen were now less than a hundred meters away and rapidly approaching!

Now it became a race against time—either the Formation Eye would be destroyed first, or the two Half-Beastmen would reach him!

Once the two Half-Beastmen arrived, Huang Yi would have no chance whatsoever!

In that instant, the wind died.

His flapping cloak suddenly drooped, and the Dandelion ceased its scattering!

The Gale Technique had ended!

There was still a small portion of the Dandelion’s seeds that hadn’t fully scattered.

The Formation Eye was not completely dismantled.

Huang Yi had failed!

He had failed at the most critical moment!

"Whoosh!" Almost simultaneously, another gust of wind blew from behind Huang Yi, scattering the last remnants of the Dandelion’s seeds!

It was akin to a frozen moment in time—the Formation was finally broken!

"Someone assisted!" A flash of realization struck Huang Yi’s mind, prompting him to turn and see who had helped.

Just then, a graceful white silhouette sped past his vision, and before he could react, a delicate, boneless hand grasped his wrist. In the next instant, his surroundings shifted, and he found himself in an entirely different location.

The next moment, Huang Yi was standing before a grand staircase, its center adorned with majestic statues that many people gazed at in awe.

This was none other than the entrance to the Oskan Royal Academy!

Someone had teleported him here!

Huang Yi quickly turned to look at his rescuer and saw a familiar figure.

It was a female player dressed in a flowing white gown, wearing a white bamboo hat that revealed half of a flawless face—a classical kind of beauty.

This white-garbed woman was none other than the lady who had previously accompanied Gentleman—her name had only one character: Qi.

"Thank you!" Huang Yi sincerely expressed his gratitude to Qi.

Qi smiled gracefully and replied softly, "No need to be polite. You’re his friend, so it’s only natural I lend a hand."

The "him" she referred to was, of course, Gentleman, also known as Dao Feng. Not long ago, when Huang Yi sought out Dao Feng, Dao Feng had mentioned that Qi had already arrived in the Central Continent.

"Are you studying at the Oskan Royal Academy too?" Huang Yi speculated aloud. He couldn’t sense any Legendary or Epic Equipment on Qi, which clearly indicated that she had mastered Internal Refinement.

"Yes!" Qi nodded slightly. "I’m in Dabsny Class Two."

Dabsny was the name of her class’s mentor. Though Huang Yi had just arrived at the Oskan Royal Academy, he was familiar with some of its most renowned instructors.

Dabsny was a distinguished mentor on par with Krabi, and Dabsny Class Two was one of the academy’s elite classes. However, the class had never graduated a student like Dragon Spike, who specialized in Formation courses, so its renown was slightly eclipsed by Huang Yi’s Krabi Class Three.

"I’m in Krabi Class Three. If you ever need help, feel free to reach out to me." Huang Yi offered, handing Qi a card with his contact information.

"You’re in the top class!" Qi smiled faintly and offered her own card in return. The two effectively added each other as friends.

Huang Yi glanced at Qi’s card and saw that her class was categorized as an Outlander Class profession, oriented toward priests and Wind Mages—no wonder she could use Wind Skills earlier.

"Why were you being hunted by them?" Qi asked curiously. Her demeanor was open and confident, showing no shyness as she quickly grew familiar with Huang Yi.

Huang Yi shrugged helplessly and replied, "I wanted to visit the Warrior Alliance Office in Jinkela City, but since I haven’t mastered Internal Refinement, my Equipment betrayed my identity."

He felt powerless about the situation. After all, he couldn’t not wear his powerful gear—without his Epic Legendary Equipment, he would be extremely vulnerable, susceptible to any ambushes.

More importantly, even changing Equipment wouldn’t completely conceal his identity! In the freedom-filled Second World, countless detection methods existed, and there were always unique techniques to expose someone’s background.

Wearing his Legendary Epic Equipment inevitably compromised his anonymity, but it allowed him to stand against stronger opponents. For example, during his recent battle with the two 180-level Half-Beastmen. Huang Yi, only 120-level, had managed to hold out for a considerable time—without his gear, he would’ve been slain instantly.

The true solution to this dilemma lay in mastering Internal Refinement, absorbing the essence of his Equipment into his body and discarding tangible gear.

"You want to go to the Warrior Alliance?" Qi pondered aloud before suggesting, "I have a classmate who’s an influential figure in the Warrior Alliance. Should I introduce you to him?"

After brief consideration, Huang Yi nodded decisively. "Alright, I’d appreciate that!"

"I have class this afternoon, so how about I take you to our classroom now?" Qi proposed as she ascended the steps ahead of Huang Yi, leading the way.

Ten minutes later, Qi finally brought Huang Yi to her classroom.

With about twenty minutes left before class began, many students were already seated, diligently reviewing their material.

Qi guided Huang Yi into the classroom, stopping before one particular male student.

The young man had a tall, muscular build, with perfectly balanced arm muscles—neither exaggerated nor meager, exuding a subtle yet palpable strength.

He sat upright, effortlessly spinning a basketball-sized steel sphere on his finger—an impressive feat, considering ordinary people would struggle to even lift it. Clearly, this was merely a subconscious motion for him.

His other hand flipped through a textbook on the desk, his focus on learning uninterrupted, while the sphere spinning seemed like a mere casual gesture.

"Excuse me, basketball enthusiast classmate," Qi gently tapped on the desk as she spoke softly.

The young man immediately lifted his gaze, smiling warmly at Qi. "Ah, it’s the class monitor—what’s up?"

"My friend here wants to learn more about the Warrior Alliance. As a well-regarded member within the alliance, would you mind sparing a moment?" Qi gestured toward Huang Yi as she introduced him.

"Hello!" Huang Yi greeted the young man politely with a nod and a courteous smile.

"Absolutely! Not a problem!" The young man, Campus Basketball Fan, nodded heartily before standing and addressing Huang Yi, "Let’s chat outside."

Huang Yi nodded in agreement and followed Campus Basketball Fan out of the classroom, leaving Qi behind.

The two reached a secluded section of the hallway before stopping.

"Do you know of an Epic Equipment item called Thunder Guard Bracers?" Huang Yi asked directly as he turned to face Campus Basketball Fan. (To be continued.
