Chapter 346 -0341: Encounter with the Assassin Again

In the blink of an eye, another five days had passed, and in the Token collection contest, Chen Yu and Yuan Chen had no gains to speak of.

Fortunately, in these five days, they had scavenged quite a few precious materials, so it wasn’t a total waste.

Of course, both of them had also consumed a lot of valuable resources.

Yuan Chen needed to consolidate his recently achieved breakthrough in power, while Chen Yu also needed to quickly increase his strength to secure a better ranking.

There were less than five days left until the end of the first stage.

Chen Yu’s “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record” second layer was almost complete.

With a little more study, he would be able to step into the third layer.

The demon patterns formed by the second layer were like a layer of dragon scales, named “Demon Scale Pattern,” which connected to the “Devil Claw Secret Pattern” and extended to his back.

Having a complete “Demon Scale Pattern” would also allow for the practice of related combat skills, but Chen Yu simply did not have the time to do so right now.

“Senior brother, how many Tokens do you have now?”

Chen Yu asked.

“Six hundred thirty-two,” Yuan Chen answered.

If Yuan Chen hadn’t broken through to the Guiyuan Realm early on, he probably wouldn’t have been able to collect so many Tokens.

Compared to Yuan Chen, Chen Yu currently had five hundred ninety Tokens, which was also relatively high.

All thanks to Lv Qiuling, Ge Lin, Yin Chengzhuang, and others.

Lv Qiuling, ranked second at Sky Star Academy, Ge Lin, and the robust young man along with their numerous group had almost all their Tokens end up in Chen Yu’s hands.

Next was following Senior Brother Yuan Chen, from whom he had scavenged a large number of Tokens.

But as time went on, the difficulty of collecting Tokens suddenly increased manyfold.

Logically speaking, five hundred ninety Tokens should secure a place in the top ten, but nothing is absolute. The later it gets, the greater the variables, it’s still best to collect as many Tokens as possible to ensure the ranking.

After all, the more Tokens one has, the higher the ranking, which would result in richer rewards.

“It looks like the only way to get Tokens now is through a big battle.”

Yuan Chen pondered for a moment before speaking.

Currently, those with the majority of Tokens were basically part of a sizable team.

In the past few days, the two had also witnessed two large-scale battles that were incredibly fierce.

“Let’s go, find No Demon Academy’s team first, and then look for our prey.”

Yuan Chen made up his mind.

Initially, he was only acting with Chen Yu, naturally wanting to maximize their gains; after all, with more teammates, their own share would inevitably shrink.

Afterward, Chen Yu and Yuan Chen started hurrying on their way to find the large team from No Demon Academy.

However, they hadn’t gone far before they felt a massive and chaotic surge of energy rapidly approaching from afar.

“A large team is closing in on us.”

Yuan Chen’s heart tightened slightly.

If it was No Demon Academy’s team, that would be good, but if it was from another academy, that would be bad.

Just then, a powerful Guiyuan Realm aura burst out from that team, accompanied by a soaring, crystal-white Sword Intent glow.

“Ye Chengfeng!”

Yuan Chen’s face showed a hint of alarm.

In Sky Sword Academy, there were not many who had broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, and no one else possessed such special and strong Sword Intent apart from Ye Chengfeng.

If it were only Ye Chengfeng, who had broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, Yuan Chen might not be his opponent, but he wouldn’t be overly afraid either.

But clearly, Ye Chengfeng had come with a large team, and even if he and Chen Yu had remarkable abilities, they wouldn’t be able to contend with them.

“How could we be so unlucky to run into Ye Chengfeng’s team? We’ve got to get out of here.”

Yuan Chen immediately said, leading Chen Yu to retreat.

They had just started to turn away when the huge Sword Intent behind them became stronger and more focused, aiming directly at them.

“No good, we’ve been discovered.”

Yuan Chen knew that Ye Chengfeng had set his sights on them.

Swoosh!

A figure in white burst out from the large team, like a sharp sword, leaving deep sword marks a few inches deep on the trees as it passed by.

“Yuan Chen, hand over your Tokens.”

Ye Chengfeng’s cool voice transmitted through the air.

“Run, Junior Brother, no, you and I should split up now. If you stick with me, Ye Chengfeng will target you too.”

Yuan Chen smiled slightly, speaking with urgency.

“Alright, Senior Brother, take care.”

After speaking, Chen Yu quickly parted ways with Yuan Chen.

If he were to flee with Yuan Chen, he wouldn’t be able to keep up, and would only be a hindrance.

Yuan Chen might not necessarily be a match for Ye Chengfeng, but he had no problem ensuring his own safety.

Behind them, within the ranks of Sky Sword Academy’s team.

“Ha ha, the top figure of No Demon Academy runs away as soon as he sees Senior Ye.”

A male student laughed heartily.

“That’s right, Senior Ye’s talent is unparalleled. In this year’s academy competition, Senior Ye might even have a chance to defeat Yunhai Zhen of Yunyang Academy and become the first.”

Another student spoke proudly.

“Ice Mountain Fairy’s talent is also astounding. In the next academy competition, Miss Luo Feng will definitely shine even brighter than Senior Ye does now.”

A handsome young man glanced at Ye Luofeng within their ranks, his eyes sparkling as he spoke with a smile.

Hearing about Ye Luofeng, almost everyone’s gaze in the team converged on the ice-cold beauty in white.

“Eh? Yuan Chen’s Junior Brother is here too. Ye Chengfeng has gone after Yuan Chen, so let’s handle his Junior Brother Chen Yu.”

A student said with ease.

Previously, Chen Yu had been collecting Tokens everywhere alongside Yuan Chen, much to everyone’s annoyance.

But now, with the protection of Yuan Chen gone, and given Chen Yu’s ranking of thirteenth in No Demon Academy, he would be easy to deal with.

“Miss Luo Feng, will you join us?”

The handsome young man who had previously complimented Ye Luofeng asked.

“I won’t go,”

Ye Luofeng promptly refused.

She was well aware that Chen Yu was Yuan Chen’s Junior Brother.

Although she wanted to compete with Chen Yu, it was to be a fair one-on-one match, not a group beatdown.

She even wanted to persuade these seniors not to go after Chen Yu.

But as a member of Sky Sword Academy, she couldn’t find a reason not to.

“Alright, once I get that kid’s storage bag, Miss Luo Feng, if you see anything you like, just pick it out.”

The handsome youth smiled warmly, immediately setting out.

Of course, a group of students followed suit.

After all, in the final stage of the first phase, it’s rare to come across such solitary prey.

Some students, however, preferred to stay behind and catch a few more glances of the Ice Mountain Fairy within the academy.

In the ancient forest, Chen Yu had relaxed after running with all his might for a distance.

“I should find the main team first, otherwise it would be bad if we encountered a large team from another academy.”

Chen Yu made his plan.

Moreover, after finding the No Demon Academy’s main team, he could also go to support Yuan Chen.

However, as Chen Yu was about to move, he noticed several people chasing after him.

Whoosh whoosh…

Seven people appeared in Chen Yu’s vision, all looking at him with relaxed and comfortable gazes, as if he were prey in abundance.

“Kid, you’re not running?”

The elegant young man revealed a graceful smile, with a hint of curiosity.

When he saw Chen Yu, Chen Yu just stood his ground until they caught up, without moving an inch.

“Haha, I think he’s resigned to his fate; he can’t run away anyway!”

One of the students laughed unrestrainedly.

“Hehe, if you’re bringing your Tokens to me willingly, it would be rude not to accept.”

The corners of Chen Yu’s mouth lifted slightly, with an amused smile.

Upon hearing this, the complexions of the seven people opposite him changed abruptly.

“Heh, courting death.”

One Sky Sword Academy student’s eyes sharpened, holding a purple shining sword, and he rushed out in an instant.

However, just as he got close to Chen Yu.

Clang!

A muffled sound was heard, and the student was sent flying back rapidly and crashed heavily to the ground, his precious sword flung to the side, quivering.

This student ranked thirteenth in the Sky Sword Academy, so he was eager to make a move, hoping to teach Chen Yu a lesson.

Unexpectedly, he hadn’t even seen Chen Yu’s action clearly, and without Chen Yu even moving his weapon, he was kicked back, and he found that several of his ribs were broken.

“You do have some skill, sir.”

The elegant young man narrowed his eyes, a sword appearing in his hand, and he leaped out the next moment, exuding a sharp presence.

At the same time, the other six charged out as well.

Among these six, four were external academy students.

“Why not just hand over the Tokens directly? Why demean yourself?”

Chen Yu revealed a hint of a wicked smile, took out the Giant Ruler Sword, and pushed his Copper Statue Gang Body to the limit.

In an instant, Chen Yu became a glowing bronze giant.

“Sword annihilates all directions.”

True Qi condensed, and with a wave, terrifying waves of Evil Qi Sword Intent surged forward, layer upon layer pressing onwards.

Boom bang peng!

Just this one round of attacks had the four external academy students blown away.

Of the three remaining, aside from the elegant young man, the other two were worse for wear.

This time, Chen Yu’s attack finally intimidated them.

Bang~

With a fierce stomp, Chen Yu charged forward, initiating an attack.

In moments, the other two were also sent flying, leaving only the elegant young man.

“How… how can you be so strong?”

The elegant young man was shocked and questioning within.

He ranked sixth in the Sky Sword Academy, but at the moment was completely suppressed by Chen Yu, only able to defensively react.

Bang!

The elegant young man didn’t last twenty moves before he was swept away by Chen Yu’s sword, crashing hard to the ground.

Although the first phase of the trial was short, comparing before and after, Chen Yu’s strength had improved significantly.

After defeating these seven people, Chen Yu first approached the elegant young man and snatched his storage bag.

“Not bad, there are some Tokens here.”

Chen Yu merrily took away the Tokens and some other valuable items.

In comparison, the other people’s storage bags were quite meager, with few items of interest to Chen Yu.

“Scram.”

After taking the spoils, Chen Yu let them go, preparing to get on his way.

But just then, from behind a robust ancient tree beside Chen Yu, a short blade suddenly extended, silently but swiftly slashing towards Chen Yu’s throat.

In that instant, Chen Yu’s hairs stood on end, and a cold sharpness brushed his neck.

“Assassin.”

Chen Yu’s heart jolted.

The assassin was so close, and he hadn’t noticed.

While part of the reason was that the attention drawn by the seven Sky Sword Academy students had caused him to lower his guard,

the assassin’s concealment skills were undoubtedly top-notch.

Facing the assassin’s sudden strike, Chen Yu tossed his head back.

The short blade shifted, aiming to make a rearward cut, showing how swiftly the enemy reacted.

Chen Yu didn’t underestimate his opponent, having anticipated the move, he blocked it with his hand.

Ting chichi!

The dagger scored a cut on Chen Yu’s palm, blood oozing out.

The figure in black furrowed his brows, as a practitioner at the Innate Peak and a True Disciple from the alliance of sects, his assassination attempt on Chen Yu had also failed.

No wonder the two assassins sent out before had not managed to kill Chen Yu.

But it didn’t matter, his dagger was poisoned, Chen Yu’s condition would continue to deteriorate, and he would soon die.

To the black-robed figure’s surprise, however,

Chen Yu’s wounded hand had actually grabbed the dagger tightly, pulling fiercely.

Yes, his dagger couldn’t be withdrawn, it was grasped by Chen Yu, and the assassin had never encountered such a situation in his years of killing.

A tremendous force came, and the figure in black was abruptly pulled out.

“Courting death!”

Chen Yu’s Secret Pattern Demon Body was activated in an instant, his legs enveloped with a layer of demon patterned energy, and he sent a leg flying over.
