Chapter 326 - 186: I Shall Return Like Lightning! (Part 3)
"Could it be... Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
...
Everyone exclaimed, rubbing their eyes, suspecting they were seeing things.
The color of the Rift changing from red to blue could only mean one thing: the Rift had been conquered!
The source of chaos had been ended, and after self-reconstruction, the Rift World had restored its balance and stability.
Once the entrance turned blue, it meant it was completely connected to the real world, permanently open for everyone to freely enter and exit the Rift World.
But... how could it be possible?
This was a massive Rift, and not just the usual Saint King level challenge. At least Infinite Saint King power was needed to have a chance at clearing it.
Everyone was dumbfounded, staring at the blue rift opening, not knowing how to react.
Whoosh!!
Suddenly, a fierce gale erupted.
A stone boat, assembled from rocks, burst out from the rift with a thunderous noise.
The terrifying wind pressure swept in all directions, blowing sand and rocks, toppling the people closest to it.
"Hahaha, finally out!"
A six-meter-tall Muscle Panda let out a hearty, joyous laugh. His majestic figure leaped gently from the stone boat and landed heavily with a loud thud.
The Panda People’s muscles were knotted and robust, wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a huge iron rod, exuding an aura of a chivalrous hero.
"Tsk, after more than a thousand years, the world hasn’t changed much."
Next was a formidable Werewolf, who also disembarked, standing firmly on the ground, constantly looking around.
"Mom! I’m here!"
A student from Senior Class 4 choked up, raising both hands, shouting excitedly towards a familiar figure in the distant crowd.
"Son! Is that really you?"
...
The scene was chaotic like a pot of boiling soup.
Parents swarmed past the security line, running towards the stone boat with tears in their eyes, embracing their children.
On one side was a large family reunion.
On the other was a sudden emergence of a group of exceptionally unfamiliar figures.
The aura of King-level Creatures, even Saint King level big shots, faintly permeated the air, instinctively making one’s legs go weak.
Shi Yanxin and others were all stunned.
... What the heck is this?!
"Mage Finn is quite the interesting person. You’ve been disconnected from the outside world for over fourteen hundred years, yet I feel no generation gap conversing with you," Wuer respectfully greeted the Undead Race senior beside him, asking, "Senior, what do you plan to do next? Would you like to return to the tribe for a visit?"
"Haha, I haven’t decided yet, let’s talk about it later." Mage Finn reached out a skeletal hand, patting Wuer’s shoulder, and laughed, "We’ll meet again if fate allows, young man. You seem to be a foreign student, right? How are your studies? Don’t bring disgrace to our Undead Race."
Hearing this, Wuer suddenly felt a pang of guilt, stammering:
"My studies... Uh, well, not bad. I’m on the rise, with a lot of room for improvement. Rest assured, I will strive to excel, and once I finish my studies and achieve success, I’ll return to the Undead Race to work hard on developing our homeland..."
Lu Xun almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.
Da Gu, you liar.
Clearly, you ranked last in the last monthly exam.
Yet out of your mouth, it becomes "rising" and "huge potential for improvement."
If Mage Finn wasn’t actually Lu Xun’s puppet, he might have really been fooled by this kid.
But Lu Xun didn’t plan to tease his deskmate any further, so he let it go.
...
The situation was too complicated.
Shi Yanxin’s Pioneer Corps hadn’t even gathered all their people, and you tell me the Rift cleared itself?
The Rift was not only inexplicably conquered, but even the victims were rescued and returned.
Listening to all this, everyone had never encountered such a bizarre and strange event in their lives.
"Wei’Er, who are these people?"
Shi Yanxin, spotting a familiar face in the crowd, quickly went over to ask Wei’Er.
"Here’s how it all happened..." Wei’Er soon explained the whole story to the Imperial Special Envoy.
Of course, regarding the well-versed Lu’s help in using "secret techniques" to lift her curse, Wei’Er skimmed over it briefly, not elaborating on any details.
After understanding the situation, Shi Yanxin stood there in shock.
She was thoroughly shaken.
It turned out this Rift had once been captured, but due to equipment failure, it got away.
Sarnik Adventure Team’s exploration failed, trapping everyone for fourteen hundred years.
Amid these high schoolers was a prodigy named "Lu Xun," only eighteen years old, yet already the most powerful appraiser in Jinghai.
He discovered clues, awakened these big shots, who then swept through all enemies, cleared the Rift, and returned with the students like lightning!
"Holy shit!"
Shi Yanxin couldn’t help but curse, wanting to express her feelings.
But after holding it in, only managed to blurt out two words:
"Incredible!"
"Who’s Lu Xun?" she then asked Wei’Er.
"That one." Wei’Er pointed with her little hand, not far away.
Following the direction, Shi Yanxin’s gaze landed on the male figure and couldn’t move away.
Just one look, and she was captivated by Lu Xun’s overwhelming charm, deeply attracted, unable to extricate herself.
"I feel like I’ve seen him before," she murmured.
"Do you know Lu?" Wei’Er was a bit surprised, "With your unique status, you shouldn’t have crossed paths with Lu Xun, right? Where did you meet?"
"In a dream," Shi Yanxin said with certainty, "He looks like the man of my dreams!"
"???"
Wei’Er was stunned, then showed a cautious expression, blurting out:
"He’s still young, and you’re not age-appropriate for each other."
Immediately regretting it.
Why was she meddling like this?
Why was she so quick to dismiss other women’s interest in Lu?
Do I like Lu?
No, no, no, that’s impossible!
’I’m an Elf, more unsuitable for him, there’s no way a Longevity Species and a short-lived one could have a future. I definitely can’t have impure thoughts about Lu.’
Wei’Er repeatedly told herself.
Yet for some reason, she felt a faint melancholy.
The end before it even began.
