Stuck in a Chinese novel-Chapter 438: Alive...?

"What's happening to you guys?!" Yue Peng asked as she kneeled beside Yan Rong, who suddenly collapsed, while Lin Ruan captured Xia Lu, who began to convulse as well while losing all strength in her body.

"They're receiving." The sect master, Song Huan, said. He looked at the two convulsing girls and felt the power that was emanating from them. It was beyond conventional increase. It was something else.

But what bothered him was...

'Why is it so similar to the cube?'

The cube that allowed him to return his body, or whoever's body it was used on, to return to youth held a certain power inside that couldn't be rivaled. Song Huan always felt that there was something different about that power.

Not only was it massive, otherworldly, but it was unique. Like no one else could learn that power to make it their own. However, right now, he was witnessing two girls who had little to no common among them emitting the same power.

The most common thing between them was...

'But the rest are unaffected.' But those two girls weren't the only ones who were a part of his organization. Which meant there was something special about them.

'They've slept with him.' Another common aspect about those two girls who were convulsing in the arms of their comrades.

Natasha tried to stabilize Xia Lu and Mark Wilson tended to Yan Rong. They were growing stronger and stronger with each passing seconds but their convulsions were becoming stronger as well. At that rate, they suspected permanent damage but, suddenly, it all stopped.

It all stopped and...

Boom!!!

Humph!

Song Huan immediately placed both his hands in front of him, and Morial instantly joined him. Their powers left their body and created a barrier just in time before a shockwave so strong that even with the barrier, all of them felt their internals shake, struck the barrier, and shook their surroundings.

"What is this!?" Yue Peng yelled as she expended the maximum of her Qi to avoid any internal injuries, but even with the shield of two monsters, the damage they suffered was quite a bit. If cultivators were like that, then it could only be wondered what state the mages would be in.

"Heal!"

Mark Wilson cast constant heals on his own body to bear the damage, but when he looked at Natasha, he couldn't help but be astonished.

Let alone hurt, she didn't even flinch in the face of that shockwave.

'What happened to her?' He couldn't help but ask internally but now was not the time to dwell into difficult questions. There was much to do and he needed to make sure he wouldn't get distracted by matters that could be questioned later. The same was the case for everyone else.

Although they were immensely curious about what was happening to the three of the girls, they refrained from asking at the moment.

"Umm... guys." They all heard Li Wei's voice through the intercom, the only person who wasn't there.

"What?" Yue Peng asked.

"You need to make it over there. Fast. Boss is in trouble." They all heard it and the first ones to move as soon as the shockwave ended were...

Swoosh!!!

~~

"Im..possible." Clarissa couldn't help but say as she saw the figure far away deep in the middle of a crater that was as deep as a building. In the middle of it, the focal point of the attack, stood a figure burned, charred and melted beyond recognition. Just looking at that figure was enough to induce nightmares for life but...

'He's alive.'

Clarissa couldn't help but say in her mind. The figure, whose skeletal structure could be seen from some places, was still alive even after that much damage. The attack was enough to wipe out a big city, and even a cultivator of Song Ruan's rank or even above.

Even if a peak martial artist were to face that attack, the result would be death, they were confident in that much.

However...

He was still alive. Their target was still alive. His hunched figure suggested he was trying to collect his surroundings, and the faint but tattered breathing was a sign that his windpipe was severely damaged.

Yet, he was alive.

If he were only alive, then it wouldn't have been too much of a problem. They were sure they would be able to defeat a person who was at and end. But even from far away, they could tell. They could visibly see the figure healing at a rate that was not even possible through a high-ranking spell.

Even the greatest of the heal spells, a seventh circle 'Ria Heal' or the strongest holy spell that required divinity and could hypothetically bring a person back from the last door of death 'Revive', wasn't capable of restoring a person to their original state that fast.

Black magic?

Who among them wasn't aware of the forces of evil? But even the forces of evil, even the very god of origin of evil, wouldn't be able to grant a power like that.

That power was like... like it refused to die. The power to refuse death. There could be no such power. Unless it was...

"Death itself."

The great ancestor standing next to Clarissa muttered. Seeing as things were, he knew the chances of survival were slim. So, at the very least, he would take that being of death with it. Because he knew that as long as that being over there was alive, the world would only face one consequence.

Chaos.

Bam!!!

Planting his feet firmly into the ground, he jumped at the figure far away at a speed no one in the area could comprehend.

Standing on his last legs, Wei Jun heard the shock of someone making their way to him, his senses tingling with hostile intentions, but other than his hearing and the instincts to perceive danger, not much of his systems were working properly. Let alone seeing, he couldn't even breathe properly.

But, instead of worrying about it, there was a smile on his face. Of course, it couldn't be told that it was a smile because his flesh was peeking and his teeth were as they were, in their entirety, so it couldn't be figured out that he was smiling.

But the great ancestor didn't need to be told that. He could pick up Wei Jun's emotions and sure enough...

Woosh!

Woosh!

Two figures passed Wei Jun's left and right and collided with the great ancestor, halting his advancement.

"You..." The great ancestor couldn't help but look at the man with the red hair and red eyes, his power similar to his, and another man who wasn't special in that sense but still strong enough to bear his physical pressure.

"An incomplete draconian." Morial said with a grin on his face, "Your core would help me grow further."

"How distasteful." Song Huan said as he pushed the great ancestor away with a wave of his Qi. Although he wasn't one to judge, he still hadn't left his humanity in all those years he had lived, even when he had chances to.

Yet that guy had done that and become someone who wasn't a full dragon or a human. He was incomplete on both sides. Song Huan would be extremely insulted if he lost to a being like that.

You both hold different intentions towards me." The great ancestor said before the scales on his skin began to glow, and he opened his mouth.

Shaa!!!

Fire erupted, fire that could melt metal in an instant, made its way to the two individuals.

Song Huan's Qi churned in full flux, and it began to cover the area before him. Heat no less than the incomplete draconian's flames produced in front of him.

On the other hand, Morial also opened his mouth and deep red flame left his mouth, colliding with the incoming flames. The great ancestor's flames collided with the two kinds of powers and the effect it had was enough to make sure no one would step closer to them.

Not only was the heat massive enough to melt the ground beneath them to turn into lava, but it was also a little bit strange. As if the heat emitted from them didn't just burn the body or the flesh, but even the very essence of a person's life.

Boom!!!

Inevitably, the powers finally reached the point of critical and exploded.

"Argh!" Song Huan shielded his face to protect himself from the incredible heat that even he had to admit was dangerous.

Suddenly, his eyes widened and his senses tingled. He spun and pushed his fist forward, his fist colliding with something scalding hot. The heat from whatever it was was enough to even affect his body through his Qi barrier.

Upon closer inspection, it was the fist of the incomplete draconian who had used the opportunity to attack but hadn't managed to deliver any considerable damage to Song Huan.

Instead, it had only allowed for its movements to come to a complete stop for a second, which allowed Morial to make his move.

"Hah!"

From the incomplete draconian blind spot, Morial appeared with a glowing ball of fire in his hand.

"Tch!"

~~

"What are you all waiting for!!!? Attack!!!"

Back at the castle, seeing the monstrous exchange between three individuals and the ever-healing Wei Jun, the academy professors declared a battle.

'Great.' Wei Jun couldn't help but curse.
