Chapter 435 - 428: Space Academy! Bizarre Enemy Attack!
Chapter 435 - 428: Space Academy! Bizarre Enemy Attack!
The two octopus people from the Sea Demon Civilization arrived faster than expected.
On the third noon after Su Qiangwei translated the prophecy dialogue, the sky over Grass Hut Academy went dark.
The so-called "went dark" meant that in the sky, the sun seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant.
Not a single ray of light could shine into the area of Grass Hut Academy.
Members of the academy, who were either in seclusion for intense cultivation or replenishing energy in the canteen, all rushed out of the buildings and immediately reacted.
Lights of various colors illuminated from all directions, lighting up the view.
Except for the first phase members, the second and third phases, upon joining the academy, were subjected to two weeks of devil-style emergency training, quickly reacting to all kinds of sudden situations, never driven into chaos like ordinary people.
Until this moment, many members still thought that this time was just another surprise coordination training ordered by President Huang Weiguo.
However, once the view was lit up, everyone suddenly realized that things were not as simple as they had anticipated.
All the buildings and members inside Grass Hut Academy were intact.
The only difference from usual was that Earth’s gravity seemed to have suddenly lessened considerably; just a light leap could allow someone to jump dozens or even hundreds of meters.
At this moment, the gravitational pull of the planet seemed to be weakened to the extreme.
Members gazed into the distance, discovering nothing around the outskirts of Grass Hut Academy!
Pitch black!
At this moment, the entire academy seemed to be floating in the vast, icy, and silent cosmos, surrounded by emptiness, with no visible landmarks for orientation.
Moonlight, starlight, sunlight...
Seemed to have completely disappeared!
"Gravity... has weakened!"
"We may have already left Earth and are currently in an outer space environment."
"So why can we still breathe? None of us has cultivated to the Nineteenth Rank of ’Burning Martial’ yet; we’re still far from an energy cycle and forming an inner breathing system!"
"Perhaps the oxygen in the academy area hasn’t been exhausted yet? After all, we’ve been directly transported from Earth to an unknown corner of the cosmos by Superpower Users."
"We’re doomed!"
"I’m still young, having just joined the academy, with a bright future ahead. I don’t want to die a pointless death here! If I must die, let it be meaningful, valuable, can’t it? Even if I had an enemy, it’d be something!"
"Wait! Does anyone else smell a sea-like odor? Like a mix of algae, fish, and a bit of coriander..."
"Cilantro? Isn’t that coriander? Never mind... it’s not important, I wanted to mention it earlier when everyone seemed panicked, but I didn’t."
"I smelled it too! What’s going on?"
"No matter who it is, it should be related to Sea Demon Feng Yuji. I previously obtained some samples of the ’Doomsday Black Rain,’ which had the exact same scent as now."
"I’ll go find the Prophet! Qian Duoduo, you go inform the Martial God! We’re all at a loss now and need a key figure to make a decision!"
"No need; Brother Ran and Sister Qiangwei are already on their way."
"Space environment... We must begin accounting for the remaining quantities of air, water, food, fuel, and distribute them ration-wise!"
"Where’s President Huang Weiguo?"
"Unconscious, but in good condition, no life-threatening issues."
Crisis truly reveals a person’s qualities.
Realizing they now faced a mysterious supernatural event, not a surprise training, some academy members were understandably flustered.
However, at this moment, a seemingly unremarkable young man and woman stood out, organized and planned, under whose command the confused members promptly acted in an orderly, disciplined manner.
These two were very low-key within the academy, neither standing out nor hiding, with medium cultivation, intelligence, and appearance, notably mediocre among geniuses, with neither strengths nor weaknesses.
Their names were Li Zhen and Ji Ke.
Wu Di furrowed his brow, grasping the small sword-like weapon in his hand tightly.
His gaze fell on those two, striving to suppress the urge to draw his sword and stab them.
Standing next to Wu Di, Li Xing, surrounded by an aura of cold, seemed ready to launch an attack at any moment.
"What’s the deal?"
Li Xing refrained from looking at Wu Di, merely releasing a wisp of cold air that lightly pricked him, saying without blinking, "Are Senior Sister Li Zhen and Senior Ji Ke problematic?"
Wu Di bit his lower lip, gripping the trembling sword hilt tighter: "I don’t know either. The Fearless feels a killing intent towards them."
Li Zhen and Ji Ke were both first-batch members of Grass Hut Academy, their seniority equivalent to Dong Huaiming, Wan Haihao, Ma Ran, and Su Qiangwei, making them more experienced than Wu Di.
Second-phase members like Li Xing had to address them as senior upon meeting.
Bang!
A blazing fire lotus suddenly erupted beside Li Xing and Wu Di.
The bodies of Li Zhen and Ji Ke, who were still coordinating the situation, abruptly exploded, reduced by the flames to pieces like stones.
The scent of blood and burnt flesh filled the air, lingering under the noses of those present.
The academy members instantly fell silent, their incredulous gazes focusing on Su Qiangwei, who had just arrived at the scene.
At this moment, Su Qiangwei maintained a forward-reaching gesture, smoke swirling between her fingers.
Clearly, it was she who had just blasted Li Zhen and Ji Ke to death.
Usually portraying the demeanor of a comedic girl, Su Qiangwei now appeared serious, calm, with a powerful aura that made her unapproachable.
This was seamlessly switching into Martial God mode.
Since the advent of the Extraordinary Era, Su Qiangwei and Ma Ran jointly resolved numerous disastrous events, achieving significant feats, and many academy members admired and respected her deeply.
So, even though Su Qiangwei committed the appalling act of "killing comrades," the crowd did not immediately voice doubts, instead falling into deep thought.
"Is there an enemy disguised as Sister Qiangwei? Qian Xixi? Aren’t you usually tagging along behind Sister Qiangwei? You come and make a judgment!"
"No, absolutely impossible! That move just now required a combination of four superpowers paired with a cultivation level of Inner Qi Seventh Rank or above to execute such a complex attack maneuver. It’s not something you can imitate on a whim!"
"Then... was it aliens secretly killing Li Zhen and Ji Ke, peeling off their skin to disguise as them?"
Academy members, with their vast imaginations, took not long to come up with several possibilities.
Seconds later, someone finally appeared to elucidate their confusion.
Swish!
In a blink of an eye, a black-and-white-haired youth, dressed in a black coat with silver edges, stepped on Hexagram military boots, and wielding a crimson Straight-Blade Tang Blade, appeared before everyone.
"Li Zhen and Ji Ke never existed."
Ma Ran slowly walked over to the charred body fragments, his demeanor composed, tone calm: "Your memories were forcibly altered by the enemy."
