Chapter 140 Regressors' Reckoning

Zhou Jun grinned triumphantly as he stared at the crystal, its brownish glow casting a dim light. This was no ordinary crystal; it was an incredibly rare material sourced only from the sand monster.

His fingers caressed the crystal's surface, attempting to pry it from the wall. But the crystal remained stubbornly attached.

[Alert, danger level D detected]

The holographic system surprised him, and he turned to see several humanoid figures made entirely of sand.

"Of course, I have to deal with you all first," Zhou Jun declared.

With that, he confronted the sand figures.

------------

Meanwhile, in another part of the city...

A young man dashed towards the city of Tianhai, undeterred by the challenging terrain obstructed by thick sand. His steps were unwavering, his spirit undaunted.

"I must find that crystal!" he exclaimed with fervent enthusiasm.

He had traveled all the way from Shanghai to Tianhai with a single purpose: to locate the sand crystal. It was an item he must obtain, a super rare material that undoubtedly held significance in the future.

The young man sprinted faster, his eyes scanning the entire area.

If you looked closely, his face seemed familiar. He was a high school student from Shanghai, reborn into his younger self.

His name was Lei Guang.

He didn't know why; he was just an ordinary human who suddenly found himself reborn thirty years into the past.

With this second chance, he wouldn't waste it.

--------------

Back to Zhou Jun, with the final blow, the sand figure in front of him crumbled, marking his last opponent's defeat.

A triumphant smile graced his lips as he gazed at the crystal. "Now, for the main prize," he smirked.

With that, he yanked the crystal from the wall, successfully retrieving it.

Simultaneously, the sandy area beneath his feet vanished, along with a significant space around him.

Zhou Jun regarded the crystal with satisfaction. "One down. I must collect the other crystals. That place belongs solely to me!" he declared, his grin widening.

With that, he leaped and soared, scouring the surroundings for the locations of the other crystals.

---------------

Meanwhile, in another location...

Slash!

Long Tian's lightning-infused sword cut through one of the spiked tiger's legs, a ferocious two-star soul beast.

The tiger appeared to be in pain, strunggling to maintain its balance. Gu Jie took the initiative to assist by throwing a small ball. The moment it hit the tiger, it transformed into a net, incapacitating the beast.

Long Tian following by raising his hand high and then bringing it down swiftly, accompanied by a yellow lightning bolt that struck the tiger.

With a final growl, the tiger fell dead.

Long Tian was sweating, finding it challenging to battle a two-star soul beast in a sandy area.

Gu Jie approached, "Well done, with that tiger down, it marks the last monster in this area. The other areas might be cleared too," he said.

"Well, I really want to go home; this place sucks," Long Tian replied.

"What about those soul crystals? There are quite a lot; you could at least get 300," Gu Jie suggested.

"There's someone named Long Ji at Emberwing Academy. Just give them to him and tell him to hand them over to me," Long Tian responded.

Gu Jie nodded, "Alright then," he said.

Long Tian nodded back, and with that, lightning crackled at his feet as he leaped high onto one of the buildings.

------------

Long Tian stood atop a rooftop, brushing sand off his clothes. He was quite surprised by the size of the sand monster. Today, he also got acquainted with a powerful figure in the Han Empire, Lu Zhen.

Although he had heard his name a few times, it was the first time he had seen him in action. He was quite surprised to discover that Lu Zhen's martial spirit was a dragon. No wonder he sensed a resemblance to him. The aura was similar to the dragon woman he had encountered in the dragon realm. Perhaps it was a heavenly dragon's type martial spirit.

Long Tian surveyed the sight of Tianhai City, now covered in sand, resembling a desert.

"This place is a mess. It will take a long time, I think, to restore Tianhai City to its former state," he muttered. "And I better return to the villa now," he added.

With that decision, his feet crackled with lightning. But as he was about to move, a distant glimmer caught his attention.

His gaze fixed on the sparkle. "What's that?" he pondered, his brow furrowing. "It might be worth investigating," he remarked.

With that, his destination was no longer the villa but the source of that gleam.

Long Tian landed on the roof of a lower building, his gaze fixed on the crystal adhered to the wall before him.

He approached it, his hand gently touching the crystal's surface. "So, the glow is coming from this crystal?" he mused to himself.

The crystal gave him an odd feeling, something like an opportunity not to be missed.

After a few moments, he chose to pull it off, but it felt strongly stuck to the wall.

When he attempted to pull it again, he suddenly sensed several presences behind him.

Turning around, he saw five human-sized sand figures staring at him.

"Ohh, what do I have here?" he said, intrigued by the turn of events.

The sand figures did not look friendly.

Long Tian took the initiative to attack. He extended his hand, and lightning crackled, striking one of the sand figures and spreading to the other four, instantly reducing them to nothingness.

"Heh, that was too easy," he smirked.

However, in the next instant, more sand figures emerged, this time tripling their previous number.

"Ohh, looks like I need to exercise a bit more," Long Tian grinned, cracking his knuckles.

His hands flickered with lightning, but as he was about to attack, dozens of swords made of golden energy suddenly rained down on the sand figures, swiftly obliterating them.

The next moment, a young man landed, and it was none other than Zhou Jun.
