Chapter 78 - The Dangerous Fairy Planet

Chapter 78: The Dangerous Fairy Planet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Several martial arts students from other classes were standing on the edge of the Fairy Square, looking enviously at the elite class students about to depart.

The ultimate goal of every student who entered the Fairy Planet’s Institute of Martial Arts was to go to the Fairy Planet.

Even though this was very dangerous, there were also many opportunities one could take advantage of. Almost everyone who had entered the Connate had been to the Fairy Planet.

Besides, some scholars and pessimistic experts estimated that sooner or later the fairy beasts would break through the protective wall of the Fairy Square. Once the monsters broke through the wall, everyone on the Fairy Square would die.

Some people believed that the monsters did not have lower intelligence than humans and would eventually get to Earth one day. If those monsters really reached the Earth, the consequences would be disastrous and human beings would most likely face extinction.

Some people had proposed pushing the Fairy Planet out of the solar system, but such an idea was not feasible. The Fairy Planet was wrapped inside an immeasurable protective array, so transferring it out of the solar system was just a fool’s dream.

Being able to enter the Fairy Planet earlier and improve one’s cultivation level would help one survive in case such a disaster occurred in the future. This was what all the students who entered the Institute of Martial Arts believed.

“The test trial will last a month this time. I wish you all an enriching experience. Now open the protective gate of the Fairy Square and enter the Fairy Planet,” Zeng Dongling said with a wave of his hand.

A green line suddenly appeared on the ground of the Fairy Square. Yu Jie and Wang Chuantian walked in the front and back respectively, while the connate expert called Wu Cheng led the path as he followed the green line out of the Fairy Square.

“Don’t envy these people, Ziyu. We will also be following that green line into the Fairy Planet soon,” Rong Tao said in an enthusiastic tone as he walked over to Shen Ziyu.

He would request to join Shen Ziyu’s class, even if he could not do so by networking.

Shen Ziyu did not answer. Although her eyes were on the elite class students about to enter the Fairy Planet, her mind was elsewhere.

...

As he walked through the gate built in the protective wall at the edge of the Fairy Square, Di Jiu looked back and saw something that resembled a majestic ancient castle.

The wall was at least 10 feet wide and nearly 100 meters high. The 10-feet wide reinforced concrete structure seemed difficult even for monsters to tear down. This wall was the biggest project on the entire Fairy Square.

Although Di Jiu could not see where the laser wall started, he was sure that it would be difficult to rush out.

He did not think that his speed while flying on the kitchen knife would be faster than that of a laser wall. Given his current strength, he would not realistically be able to block a laser attack.

All the trees outside the wall had been cut down, so as they stood outside the protective wall and looked towards the horizon of the Fairy Planet, everything looked foggy.

Wu Cheng did not like to talk, but Yu Jie suddenly said loudly, “The moment we walk out of the protective wall, our lives will no longer be protected. Anything can happen on the Fairy Planet. I hope that no one will leave the group at will before the teams are formed. I have repeatedly said in class that even a single thorn or wild rabbit from the Fairy Planet could kill you. We are all very fragile compared to the creatures of the Fairy Planet.”

Although Yu Jie had spoken very solemnly, the 60 students of the elite class grew very excited.

People who cultivated martial arts seemed to be unconsciously self-confident, a trait that made them immune to fear. Most students thought that someone who could throw a punch with more than 1,000 kilos of strength was invincible and able to even kill a tiger.

This was particularly true for the few students who were so close to the Earth Tier Level that they would reach it after another step. They wanted to get an opportunity to become better than everyone else on the Fairy Planet.

In fact, Di Jiu’s mindset resembled most of the other students’. He was also looking for an opportunity. However, unlike most people, after gathering a lot of experiences and information, he had discovered that there were many people in the world who were stronger than him.

Three hours later, the group saw a lush green forest so vast that it almost seemed endless. A path formed out of frequent human footsteps extended from the feet of the group, its end not visible from where they were standing.

Wu Cheng, who had not spoken so far, suddenly stopped, turned around and told everyone, “There are very few developed places on the Fairy Planet, so most of its surface is covered by a big primeval forest. You should all be careful once we enter the forest. We must pay attention to our surroundings, as well as where we step. There is no cure for anyone who is hurt by poisonous snakes or other creatures on this planet. Last but not least, we should not be standing too close to each other. There will be two people per row, each person standing far from the person next to them.”

The students of the elite classes seemed to pay more attention to Wu Cheng’s words compared to Yu Jie’s. As Wu Cheng spoke, everyone listened very seriously.

Wu Cheng did not say much else. After mentioning the dangers ahead, he turned around and walked away.

As soon as they entered the primeval forest, the students followed Wu Cheng’s instructions and kept a distance from each other. Pang Fan was naturally in the same row as Di Jiu.

After they entered the forest, everyone’s vision was restricted to a 10-meter radius. Their long-distance vision was blocked by bushes growing there for years, some tall trees, and the occasional moss-covered stone the size of a small hill.

Half an hour later, everyone could hear the sound of their own footsteps, as well as the monsters roaring in the distance.

The students who were the most nervous took out their weapons and held them in their hands. Most of them owned long sabers, swords and rifles.

Perhaps the long saber was the most lethal weapon, as it was very good at slashing. Almost half the students were using long sabers.

“What do you think of my weapon, Di Jiu?” Although Pang Fan’s cultivation level was lower than everyone else’s, in comparison to the many nervous students, he seemed too thick to sense the tension around him.

Pang Fan took out a saber longer than a meter. Appearance-wise, his saber was 10 times better than Di Jiu’s kitchen knife.

Although Di Jiu did not know much about weapons, when Pang Fan took out his long saber, he could tell that it had cost a lot of money.

“It seems good. Why have you been hiding it so far?” Di Jiu said honestly. Pang Fan’s saber could naturally not compare to his kitchen knife, but it certainly looked much better.

“Ha ha! I did not want to bruise your ego. Fortunately, your ability to withstand ego strikes is really powerful. You seem unaffected by my treasured saber.” Pang Fan laughed as he held his cherished saber in his hand.

Then, he unconsciously looked at the long kitchen knife hanging by Di Jiu’s waist. He silently thought that he would rather die than use such an ugly knife.

“Ah...” Di Jiu had no time to answer. He suddenly screamed, shocking everyone carefully walking around him.

“He Wei has been bitten by a snake!” a student immediately called out.

“What happened?” Wang Chuantian only had to take two steps to reach the student’s side. A half-meter-long spotted snake had bit the student’s calf.

Wang Chuantian pulled out his saber and tried to strike.

“Don’t move!” Wu Cheng grabbed the handle of Wang Chuantian’s saber. Wang Chuantian felt like the saber in his hand was being held back. Suddenly, he could no longer move it.

Wang Chuantian was shocked. He was a late-stage Earth Tier Warrior, so he knew that there was a gap to the connate realm. However, he had not expected the gap to be so big.

If a supreme-level expert attacked him, given his strength, he would never be able to restrain his opponent’s saber.

However, it was not that difficult to grab the saber handle of an Earth-Tier expert.

Wu Cheng’s move had given everyone a more intuitive understanding of a connate expert’s abilities. However, everyone quickly turned their attention back to He Wei. The snake had not let go of his leg. His face had already turned pale, and he was breathing kind of hard.

“Vice Principal Wu, He Wei has been bitten by a snake. We must kill the snake quickly,” Yu Jie, who had also run over, said anxiously. She did not understand why Vice President Wu would not allow Wang Chuantian to kill the snake.

When Di Jiu saw the snake biting He Wei’s calf, he realized that Wu Cheng was not wrong.

This snake, which was called a seven-color spot, was several times more poisonous than the snake that had bitten Yu Mu. There were seven kinds of markings on a seven-color spot. Although these markings were not arranged in a beautiful or horrifying pattern, its appearance made most people feel uncomfortable.

When the seven-color spot bit someone, it would not let go until the person in question was dead. If the snake was killed while biting the person, its poison would immediately rush into the heart of the victim, causing it to die on the spot.

“I’ll do it.” Wu Cheng raised his hand and hit He Tai’s calf. A powerful force shocked the seven-color spot, making it loosen its hold. Wu Cheng did not wait for the snake to fall to the ground. He immediately slashed it down with Palm Saber Qi.

The seven-color spot, which was beheaded by Wu Cheng, died after a few tumbles on the ground. Meanwhile, He Tai was comatose.

Wu Cheng grabbed a bottle and placed a pill in He Tai’s mouth. As he was about to talk, a roar filled with killing intent was heard from afar. The voice seemed to be approaching them, accompanied by the sound of a roar.

“Go! Just speed up and follow me,” Wu Cheng said. He did not take the original road. Instead, he walked to the side.

Wang Chuantian quickly picked up He Tai and said, “Everyone must leave as soon as possible. Just follow Vice Principal Wu. Pang Fan, you help carry He Tai’s bag!”
