Chapter 100 – Earth Bear King (1/2)

The battle stopped abruptly when this yellow barrier appeared. Because the Earth Bear King had stopped attacking, and it looked at Jiang Wei’s group of four and didn’t conceal the disdain and contempt in its eyes.

The Earth Bear King ceasing its attack was naturally everything that the other seven people wished for. One of the men within the barrier gazed at the barrier and seemed to have thought of something, and then he cried out involuntarily. “It’s actually the Origin School’s Barrier Ward!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly shot his gaze towards Jiang Wei that stood outside the barrier and said furiously, “Jiang Wei, what’s the meaning of this?”

When she heard the words Barrier Ward, Qingxue’s countenance turned pale as well. She’d heard of the Barrier Ward, it was a Divine Ability of the Origin School. It wasn’t that type of Divine Ability that caused adverse effects to the user after it was executed, and it was a true Divine Ability. The solidity of the Barrier Ward was something that even a Spirit Rank Darkbeast found difficult to break through. As for a King Rank Darkbeast, it was even more difficult.

Of course, she was more concerned about the intentions of Jiang Wei and the others!

Jiang Wei disregarded the seven of them, and he turned around to look at a man by his side and said, “Senior Brother Xuan Ming, if the Grand Qin Empire’s Martial Future Academy finds out about what we’ve done here, we’ll probably be in huge trouble!”

Amongst the seven people within the barrier, two were from Brightmoon Sect, one was from the Sword Sect, and four were from the Martial Future Academy of the Grand Qin Empire. Even though the Martial Future Academy was only a second-rate academy in the Grand Qin Empire, it still represented the Grand Qin Empire. So, if the Grand Qin Empire found out about what the four of them had done today, then they would definitely be in trouble.

As for the Brightmoon Sect and the Sword Sect? They weren’t worried about these two sects at all!

A wisp of an evil smile arose on the corners of Xuan Ming’s mouth, and he said, “Don’t worry. So long as all of them die, then would anyone know about all of this?”

When he spoke up to here, he turned around and nodded to Jiang Wei before he said, “Jiang Wei, you did well this time. If you didn’t lead them over to keep the Earth Bear King busy, then we would have been utterly unable to establish the Barrier Ward. With the gains from this Earth Bear King, the four of us won’t have to worry about cultivation resources for three months at least.”

Jiang Wei didn’t speak any further when he heard this. Cultivation resources were something that every disciple of a sect required. Besides those that possessed an extraordinarily monstrous natural talent, the sects wouldn’t hand out cultivation resources for free. If one wanted to improve one’s strength at a better and quicker rate, then one needed cultivation resources. Because one’s speed of cultivation would lag far behind other disciples if one didn’t possess such resources.

There was compet.i.tion in all sects, and the compet.i.tion within the Origin School was even more intense while the requirements to partic.i.p.ate in the Inner Court Exam was extremely harsh. If they wanted to become inner court disciples, then they had to possess even more formidable strengths because the spots for inner court disciples in the Origin School was limited.

They’d come to hunt the Earth Bear King this time because they’d accepted an a.s.signment in the sect. However, they were clearly aware that it was undoubtedly impossible for them to kill this Earth Bear King with their own strengths. So, the four of them had formulated a plan. This plan was to find some disciples from the other sects that had come to temper themselves in the Grand Myriad Mountains, and then utilize them to keep the Earth Bear King busy while they established the Barrier Ward to trap the Earth Bear King.

However, the development of the plan wasn’t smooth because the Earth Bear King had stopped attacking the seven of them!

Xuan Ming frowned. In his original plan, the seven of them were supposed to fight to the point both sides sustained great injuries and losses. Their strengths couldn’t compare to the Earth Bear King, but if the seven of them chose to detonate themselves, then it would absolutely be able to injure the Earth Bear King. In that way, it would be much easier to deal with the Earth Bear King.

However, the Earth Bear King had stopped attacking now, and this was slightly unusual!

“Jiang Wei, quickly open up the barrier and let us out!” A young man from Martial Future Academy spoke anxiously.

A wisp of ridicule suffused the corners of Xuan Ming’s mouth as he said, “Are they members of Martial Future Academy so lacking in their discerning ability? You still don’t understand our intentions until now? Sure, you can come out. Kill that Earth Bear King behind all of you, and then we’ll open up the barrier and let all of you out, alright?”

When they heard this, that last trace of hope in their hearts instantly vanished because these four disciples from the Origin School really intended to eliminate all seven of them along with the Earth Bear King.

“Aren’t all of you afraid of the Sword Sect, Brightmoon Sect, and Martial Future Academy’s revenge?” Qingxue spoke in a cold voice.

“Revenge?” Xuan Ming started laughing, and his face was covered in disdain as he said, “I agree about the Brightmoon Sect and Martial Future Academy, but your Sword Sect? Even if your Sword Sect finds out about what happened today, would your Sword Sect dare to take revenge on my Origin School? Based on what you said, you’re definitely a disciple that has just joined the Sword Sect, and you don’t know the gap between the Sword Sect and the other sects. Allow me to enlighten you. Not to mention anything else, how many outer court disciples does your Sword Sect possess? Less than 10,000, right? Do you know how many outer court disciples my Origin School possesses? 140,000! What do you think? Now you know how worthless the Sword Sect is, right?”

Qingxue’s expression was livid when she heard this. She knew that the Origin School was stronger than the Sword Sect, and she knew that the Sword Sect was the weakest amongst the six great powers. However, as a disciple of the Sword Sect, she felt both furious and helpless when Xuan Ming scoffed at her and looked down upon the Sword Sect because she was utterly unable to refute it!

Xuan Ming glanced coldly at the seven of them and said, “Don’t even think of breaking out of the barrier. If you want to live, then kill the Earth Bear King standing behind all of you. Kill it, and we’ll open up the barrier!”

That disciple from Martial Future Academy laughed coldly and said, “You’ll open up the barrier after we kill the Earth Bear King? Do you think that we’re three year olds?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around to look at the Earth Bear King, and he said, “Bear King, I know that you understand human speed. We were in the wrong just now, and I apologize to you. Now, we’re in the same situation, so we should join forces to break open this barrier. What do you think?”

The other six people within the barrier hurriedly apologized as well. Presently, their only path of survival was to join forces with the Earth Bear King!
