Chapter 16: Zhaoxiang

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“It’s so troublesome to do a mission.”

Fang Xuan could not help but sigh as he felt the cliff wall receding beside him.

From afar, a wave of heat hit his face.

This was not simply because of the terrain, but because someone was fighting at the top of the mountain.

Fang Xuan gritted his teeth and jumped to the top of the mountain.

Just now, the girl was fighting the Flame Commander. The tip of the spear in the girl’s hand was completely wrapped in flames. Just like Fang Xuan, she did not need any protection even if she faced the Flame Commander directly. Moreover, the more she fought, the braver she became.

On the other hand, the Flame Commander opposite her was like a fiery red flood dragon. He had a fiery red tail on his lower body and a fiery red armor and wrist guard on his upper body. He held a trident formed from fire energy in his hand.

On the other hand, the girl’s familiar was the Fire Dance Triple Horse. It was an S-Grade beast of the fire attribute. Its attack speed was one, and its attribute damage and speed were extremely high. It could be said to be a natural Battle Mage.

Fang Xuan hid behind a rock and observed for a while before realizing that something was amiss.

Although the girl had been suppressing the Flame Commander, she could not break through his defense at all.

A few more minutes passed and the young girl was slowly exhausted. However, other than the white marks on the Flame Commander’s armor, there were no traces of battle on his body.

Moreover, the teacher had said in class that not only did the Flame Commander have an astonishing defense, but the Flame Wrist Guard on his arm was also a sharp weapon for attacking. It could transform into any form of fire attack.

However, from the looks of it, the Flame Commander did not reveal any of his attacks.

Fang Xuan understood. He wanted to slowly wear her down and seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

This was his home ground, so he didn’t have to worry about not being able to replenish his energy. On the other hand, the other party… Fortunately, the girl was of the fire attribute, so she didn’t have to worry about being attacked by the fire poison. Even so, her movements of waving the spear slowed down bit by bit.

A moment later, the young girl’s powerful spear was blocked by the Flame Commander with a trident in one hand. The latter’s other wrist guard emitted a terrifying red light as his palm ruthlessly struck the young girl’s abdomen.

Although the other party had turned his energy to block in time, it was only a drop in the bucket.

The girl’s body drew a bloody arc in the air and slammed into the rock.

“Save, save me. I’m the daughter of the Northwest Spear King, a second-year seed student of Cloud Academy. I know that the senior is here, so I hope you can save me!”

Fang Xuan raised his eyebrows. He had never heard of the Northwest Spear King. Moreover, he found it hard to accept this bullsh*t woman’s arrogance.

However, this fellow was actually his schoolmate? Furthermore, she was a second-year senior… On the other side, the Flame Commander stopped in his tracks and looked around warily, as if he could understand human language.

After dozens of seconds, nothing happened.

He grinned hideously and raised his hand to end the girl’s life with the flaming trident in his hand. The latter also closed her eyes in despair.

Her meridians had already been messed up by the palm just now. At this moment, she did not even have the ability to gather qi. If not for the fact that she was born with the fire attribute, she would probably have been a piece of roasted meat in this environment.

No matter what, she was a youngster who could be ranked in the Empire, but she actually died in such a place. She was really unwilling… The imagined feeling of her stomach being cut open did not come. When she opened her eyes again, a tall figure appeared in front of her.

At this moment, Fang Xuan was standing in front of the Flame Commander. The latter’s flame trident had already been devoured until only the handle was left.

The Flame Commander seemed to be stunned, but the Boss’ intelligence was indeed much higher than those small fries. After a slight pause, it quickly retreated and at the same time, a new flame trident quickly formed.

Fang Xuan sneered.

Everything was over. The toxins of the ants had already been injected into his body. Soon, this guy would become a fish at the mercy of others.

As expected, the Flame Commander fell to the ground halfway through his retreat, as if he had been shot.

Following that, the flame energy gradually dissipated without a trace. Fang Xuan waved his hand, and more than ten ants shot out. These were the newly created army of ants that he had just devoured.

Soon, not even a bone was left of the Flame Commander. It was eaten clean by the ants.

Fang Xuan walked over and put away the Flame Armor and Flame Wrist Guards that were left on the ground into his storage ring.

“I don’t know. How does it feel to watch yourself being eaten?”

At the same time, the token in his storage ring trembled again. He understood that this was a sign that another small goal had been completed.

On the other hand, the girl was completely stunned by the scene in front of her. She had even forgotten most of the injuries on her body.

W-what was going on?

Wasn’t this a first transition mission? Why did this guy look like a bug? What kind of familiar was the ant in his hand?

Fang Xuan turned around and slowly walked towards the young girl.

The girl panicked and felt even more sorrowful.

He had just been talking nonsense to the other party for the Flame Lingzhi, but now she was in such a situation.

“I’m sorry for what I did to you at the foot of the mountain… Don’t worry, I’ll definitely repay the favor I owe you. Our family…”

Fang Xuan simply activated his perception to detect the former’s injuries and interrupted her.

“There’s no need to be sorry. I saved you just in passing. The main reason is that we’re both schoolmates. It’s difficult for me to explain why you died here. I’m only doing this for myself.”

“Remember that there’s always someone better than you. Just don’t be so arrogant.”

After saying those words, Fang Xuan slowly walked down the mountain.

The completion of the mission was much easier than expected. It seemed that the five-star mission was only so-so.

He walked to the foot of the mountain and took out two pieces of equipment from his storage ring to carefully examine them. A familiar aura appeared behind him.

“What else do you want?”

The blood at the corner of the girl’s mouth had just dried up, but she had followed Fang Xuan all the way to the foot of the mountain. It seemed like she had something to look for.

“My name is Xiang Zhao. What about you?”

“I said, if there’s anything, just say it.”

“Hmm… Can you trade that Flame Armor of yours to me? This time, I came out to do a fire-elemental mission for this equipment. At the same time, I want to prove myself to my family. Our family can…”

Fang Xuan threw the armor over.

He had just detected that this equipment was almost useless to him. It was far inferior to this wrist guard, so he simply threw it to this woman to shut her up. He kept saying that her family was annoying.

Zhao Xiang was overjoyed. Then, as if she had made a decision, she kissed Fang Xuan on the cheek and disappeared.

Fang Xuan touched his cheek.

Young people nowadays were really open-minded… but it was best not to tell Ning Lanqing about this.

“Achoo, achoo!” Ning Lanqing, who was thousands of miles away, sneezed a few times for some reason.
