131 Chapter 130: Heading out! (2/2)
”Take them, and this movement skill art should allow you to retreat easily if the need arise. But, destroy that manual book once you studied it. It's one of the secret arts from my clan, so I wouldn't want others to learn of it.” he said.
”This.. Thank you Vice-Principal!” not expecting the other party to impart him an important skill art just like that, Duan Li was filled with gratitude towards the latter.
The Vice-Principal waved his hand casually, ”Its nothing, just make sure to arrive back safely here by midnight and let the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Squad handle the rest tomorrow. You just do what you can and then retreat.”
Soon after, Duan Li finally left the Principal's office in a happy mood as he couldn't wait to immediately set course to his destination.
”Are you sure about this?” the Principal asked with concern.
”Don't worry, he is the chosen one after all.” the Vice-Principal chuckled as he replied and then continued to sip down his tea.
If even he could not make it, then our quest to change our fate would be laughable and nothing more than a pipe dream..
...
Duan Li left the academy through another gate that requires a special token to exit, which the Principal conveniently gave him beforehand.
Currently, he was on the move to the express Airtrain station on the North of the capital.
”Duergar the sword should be inside 'that' room within my dantian along with the others. I should call him out.”
Weengg!!
A sword-shaped earring materialized as it dangled on his right earlobe.
”Eh, Young Master? Why did you call me.. We were having fun at card games..” the sword complained.
”Oh? You've finally grown a pair of big balls that gave you the guts to question me now?” Duan Li replied with narrowed eyes.
For this sword of his, Duan Li had to exert his dominance over it. Otherwise, it's cocky personality would resurface once more.
Seeming to realize this, the sword sweated as it quickly apologized.
”F-Forgive me Young Master! I have truly misspoken this time around!”
”You'd better, otherwise don't blame me for going overboard, hmph!” Duan Li snorted as he replied menacingly which caused the sword to shirk even further.
”Anyway, we will be heading to the battlefield soon, you should prepare yourself!”
Hearing this, the sword quickly became happy.
”Battlefield? HAHA! It's been such a long time since I've been to one that my metals began to rust! What are we fighting against Young Master?” the sword asked energetically.
”Oh, its nothing worth mentioning for your caliber, we will just be fighting against 50,000 One Star monster stampede, it should be a breeze for you.” Duan Li replied casually with an indifferent expression, but inwardly he was laughing hard!
Although this sword of his was undoubtedly a supreme existence that had unparalleled might in the past, or so it claimed to be, it also had a cowardly personality somehow.
And as expected, the sword froze after hearing that they would have to fight against 50,000 monsters!
Cough! Cough!
”Young Master, can I get a sick leave today? I'm not feeling so good.. must be because of the tea that Dilong made for me just now.. Damn that Earth dragon! How dare she do this to me!” the sword bellowed out, trying to act angry.
”Eh? Don't tell me that you can't handle some puny monsters and are trying to hide in safety?” Duan Li said teasingly.
Hearing that, the sword's ego made a refutement on reflex.
”Hah! Me, afraid against some meager insignificant ants? Even if the Primordial dragon ancestor himself were to descend down to this mortal realm to wreak havoc, I would still have stood tall to cut at its genital to feed at the fishes!”
Duan Li chuckled as he replied sarcastically, ”Oh? You sure are quite dependable! That's a very good battle spirit you've got there. I'm expecting great things from you later on, do not disappoint me!”
The sword cried.
Damn it.. my stupid mouth!
...
Duan Li soon boarded the express Airtrain and it would take him roughly an hour to arrive at his destination, just before evening.
He did not bring any of his followers along because if things comes to worse, it would be difficult for him to retreat while taking care of others.
Besides, he was just trying to see on how strong he had become and this monster stampede would be a way for him to let loose completely without others obstructing him.
...
After an hour of Duan Li's departure at the Principal's office..
”Look, he already boarded off the Airtrain, from here on out, it should take him another hour to arrive at the border.” the Principal said as the rest nodded.
The Principal, Vice-Principal, Wang Guozhi and Ling Yu were currently casting their soul sense onto the jade beacon to observe Duan Li when someone suddenly came knocking.
Knock! Knock!
A teacher came in and he was surprised to see what they were doing.
”What is it? If it's not important, don't disturb us and tell me tomorrow morning!” the Principal said with a frown.
What audacity to just barged in without my permission!
”Pardon me Principal, but a lady just came by the Academy entrance gate a few minutes ago.. she goes by the name of Meng Yue and wanted to meet you. She was adamant about it.. so I had to inform you..” the teacher said apologetically.
Hearing this, everyone's heart almost stopped beating as they turned their head towards the Vice-Principal slowly.
Well..
Sh*t.
