One more thing to be done?

Everyone was confused as they waited for Ai Hui’s next order.

”We have to capture a blood ant alive,” Ai Hui spoke rapidly as he brandished his Dragonspine Inferno continuously and surged towards a blood ant. ”Listen to my commands.”

There was no time to waste on the battlefield. It didn’t take long before the remaining blood ants pressed down on Ai Hui and the others.

”Run!”

Ai Hui turned around abruptly and started running.

Upon seeing this, everyone followed suit and ran without hesitation.

The blood ants pursued behind them tightly. With their low intelligence, they based their actions on instinct, so as soon as they saw Ai Hui and the others running away, they went after them with lightning-like speed!

Mist drifted from Shi Xueman’s back, and her speed increased sharply. She brushed past Ai Hui, leaving him far behind.

Sang Zhijun resembled a lithe and agile bird with her clothes fluttering in the wind as she similarly blew past Ai Hui.

”Come on.” She smiled at Ai Hui.

From under Duanmu Huanghun’s feet, a glowing green flower pattern was spinning. He flew through the air as if running on a level road. At first glance, he didn’t seem fast, but he gradually bypassed Ai Hui. Without looking back, he gave a cold sneer. ”Ahh….”

Ai Hui was dumbstruck. He had become the last one.

Behind him, the blood ants were pursuing him relentlessly, and in his ears sounded the incessant hissing. He trembled in fear and dashed forward frantically.

It was at this point in time that he realized his weakness. He never learned an escaping technique! He was relatively fast in short distances, and this was why no one had noticed until now that Ai Hui’s running pace was neither nimble nor fast.

And so when the running distance was pushed to a hundred meters, his weakness revealed itself.

His base level had risen too quickly, exposing his many shortcomings. Compared to Shi Xueman and the others who had a balanced growth, Ai Hui was clearly unbalanced in his developments. All his time was spent on sword moves; he had to find a chance to learn a few escaping techniques. He placed great importance on anything that would ensure his survival.

He undoubtedly had to learn how to use azure wings in the future….

This bunch of fellows… was too much!

Ai Hui felt the blood ants behind him approaching closer and closer, and so he exerted all of his strength into running as quickly as possible.

Like a drill, his right leg dug into the rubble-filled ground. Boom! The ground under his feet suddenly exploded, sweeping up a tidal wave of dust that reached a height of three meters.

Making use of this explosive force, Ai Hui’s speed rose sharply.

He flitted forward at an extreme speed. His left leg behaved like a drill once more, digging ferociously into the ground.

Boom! Dust diffused into the air.

Ai Hui was akin to a heavy beast. He surged forward frantically, and with every step, he stirred up towering waves of rubble.

The students watching from afar were stunned at the sight. Shi Xueman was fast as lightning while Sang Zhijun was lithe and agile. Duanmu Huanghun flew gracefully through the wind. And as for Ai Hui, there were no techniques involved in his sprinting. His violent and imposing manner while running was driven by his capricious mule-headedness.

With every step he took, the ground quaked and the mountains shook.

In a blink of an eye, he covered a distance of one hundred metres.

”Lou Lan!” Ai Hui yelled.

”Lou Lan is coming!” Lou Lan cheered as he shot out the chili concoction in his hands, creating an immense cloud of red mist.

Like a cannonball, Ai Hui landed headfirst into the topsoil behind Lou Lan. Boom! The soil flew up into the air from the powerful force.

Ai Hui managed to use this momentum to change his direction before he then roared, ”Get ready!”

The blood ants emerging from the curtain of dust and soil were doused in the chili concoction, and chaos descended once more. This time around, however, they continued to instinctively fly towards Ai Hui and the rest.

Ai Hui flipped his sword and used the side of the blade to strike one of the incoming blood ants.

It arced towards Shi Xueman.

”Stop the ant!”

Shi Xueman spun Cirrus in her hand lightly, and a cloud of mist engulfed the blood ant, slowing it down as if in a pit of quicksand.

”Use [Viridescent Flower] to tangle it up!”

”Use your arrows to stop the rest of the blood ants from advancing!”

By now, Duanmu Huanghun had nearly used up all of the elemental energy in his body, yet he forced himself to channel the last strand still available. A green vine shot out and lightly tangled up the blood ant from within the cloud of mist.

Meanwhile, Sang Zhijun’s Golden Silk Longbow explosively shot out numerous dazzling streaks of light, stopping the other blood ants from advancing.

Ai Hui leapt into the sky and surged towards the blood ant that was engulfed in the cloud of mist.

”Withdraw your spear!”

Upon hearing Ai Hui’s command, Shi Xueman withdrew her spear without any hesitation.

As soon as Cirrus’ suppression was lifted, the blood ant became agitated. The green flower vine executed with the last of Duanmu Huanghun’s elemental energy also loosened bit by bit.
