The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

"Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!"

Everywhere, the fierce wind roared in his ears.

He squinted his eyes and discovered it was a natural cave, somewhat dim, with azure Gang Feng visible to the naked eye chaotically swirling around.

These Gang Feng were as thick as a forearm, flying wildly and irregularly, nearly covering every corner of this space.

On the cave walls were many marks as if slashed by knives and axes, clearly caused by the Gang Feng.

"Ah! It hurts so much! I’m going to die!"

The Barbarian lay a meter away from the cave entrance, on the ground, his bare body covered with numerous bloody scars, tortured beyond recognition by the Gang Feng.

"Whoo, whoo!"

Several swaths of Gang Feng swept over, and Qin Hao frowned, channeling Spiritual Qi throughout his body.

"Swish!"

Instantly, a Spiritual Energy Shield formed around him, the Gang Feng clashing against it, making "ding, ding, ding" sounds but unable to break through.

"Idiot, get up and use Spiritual Qi to protect your body!" Qin Hao shouted sternly, startling the Barbarian awake. He ceased his cries of pain and channeled his Spiritual Qi, immediately forming a shield on his skin.

"It doesn’t hurt! It doesn’t hurt! Wonderful!" The Barbarian was so delighted he nearly went mad.

However, ding!

A swath of Gang Feng swept over, causing a crack to appear on his Spiritual Energy Shield.

Ding!

A second Gang Feng came, causing the Barbarian’s shield to completely collapse.

The Gang Feng swept over his body again, and the Barbarian cried out miserably, "Big brother, save me! It’s killing me! These damn Gang Feng are as sharp as knives!"

"Get over here!"

Qin Hao felt deeply annoyed, not by the sound of the Gang Feng, but by the Barbarian’s unbearable cries.

"Thank you, big brother!" The Barbarian immediately ran over, entering the coverage of Qin Hao’s Spiritual Energy Shield.

As long as the Barbarian stopped shouting, Qin Hao did not bother with him and said coldly, "Stay close and don’t touch me, or else."

"Okay, okay!" The Barbarian nodded frantically.

Qin Hao ignored the Barbarian and channeled Spiritual Qi into his eyes, starting to search the surroundings.

This space wasn’t large, only a few hundred square meters. Qin Hao looked around but seemed to find no trace of Jin Kui.

"Could he not be on this level?"

Qin Hao mumbled to himself.

"No way! That Jin Kui guy isn’t strong, and the Gang Feng on the next level is even more terrifying. He couldn’t have managed to get down there!" The Barbarian, hearing Qin Hao’s murmur, spoke confidently, "He must be hiding in some corner! Big brother, you should look carefully!"

"Hmm." Qin Hao nodded. Jin Kui’s strength was not formidable, only barely managing the Gang Feng of three levels; reaching the next would be uncertain.

"Let’s look for him first." Qin Hao proceeded slowly, the Barbarian trailing closely behind.

After walking a distance, Qin Hao noticed a faint glimmer of Spiritual Light not far ahead. He quickly ran over and, rounding a large boulder, saw a person.

The person lay on the ground, leaning against a stone, lips purple, and a faint spiritual light flowed around him, but due to the lack of Spiritual Qi, the light was very weak, seemingly on the verge of dissipating.

Seeing this person’s face, Qin Hao’s expression brightened, "Jin Kui!"

Indeed, the person lying there with a sullen face was Jin Kui!

He struggled to open his eyes, looking at the Conical Hat Man before him in disbelief, "Big brother?"

"It’s me!"

Qin Hao hurried over, helping Jin Kui up, "You’ve suffered!"

"Big brother!" Jin Kui was so excited that tears streamed down his face.

Qin Hao watched intently, his heart filled with complex emotions.

Seeing Jin Kui in tears, Qin Hao realized he must have endured a lot of hardships.

"Jin Kui, stay composed." Qin Hao, not knowing how to comfort men, could only say that.

"Big brother! I will!" Jin Kui wiped away his tears, "Sorry for letting you see that."

"It’s nothing." Qin Hao shook his head with a smile.

"But big brother, how did you find your way here? And why are you wearing a conical hat?" Jin Kui asked, full of confusion.

"Well, it’s a long story. In short, I’m wearing the hat to conceal my identity, and I’m here to find you so we can do the mission together."

Hearing Qin Hao’s words, Jin Kui’s face brightened, "Do missions together! I want to do that too!"

But quickly, his expression darkened, "My master trapped me here, saying it was to build my resolve... I might not be able to leave."

"We’ll discuss that later, Jin Kui. Shall we head out now?" Qin Hao asked.

"Big brother! The folks outside are very nasty..." Jin Kui said with some worry.

"With me here, are you still afraid?" Qin Hao said with a sly grin.

Hearing this, Jin Kui’s entire being trembled, recalling his glorious and joyous days with Qin Hao!

He shook his head, looking determined, "Of course not! Following you, even if the sky falls, it’s not a big deal!"

"Have you become a flatterer, kid?" Qin Hao chuckled, "Let’s leave this place."

"Boom!"

At that moment, the ground quivered suddenly, causing all three to stagger.

After steadying himself, Qin Hao looked down, "This tremor came from underground. Is something happening below?"

"Underground? Could someone be on the fourth level of the Gale Prison?" The Barbarian seemed dumbfounded, "I’ve heard that those who can enter the fourth level are geniuses of the sect; could the person below be one of them?"

"Big brother, when I was here before, I vaguely saw someone entering the fourth level." Jin Kui’s words further confirmed the Barbarian’s speculation.

Now Qin Hao felt puzzled too, "This place is meant for training; it’s normal for someone to go down. But why the earthquake?"

The Barbarian slapped his forehead, "I heard after the fourth level of Gale Prison, there are guardian spiritual beasts! The fourth level is said to have two Pangolins, the fifth a Flame Leopard, and the sixth an Alien Stone Giant... The tremor is so loud; maybe that genius is battling the Stone Giant?"

Jin Kui was also shocked, "I’ve heard from my master, Stone Giants are rare beings, formed of mystical stones, nearly Vajra Indestructible and Water and Fire Immune. That disciple dared to provoke it, undoubtedly to reach the seventh level!"

After he spoke, both Jin Kui and the Barbarian took a deep breath.

"The seventh level of Gale Prison, only elders and above can supposedly step there. Is that disciple really so powerful?"

"In any case, it must be someone from the Bright Monument!"

Listening to their exchange, unexpectedly, Qin Hao’s calm heart was stirred.

He observed that although the conditions in the Gale Prison were harsh, the training effect was significantly better than outside.

Each strike of Gang Feng on the Spiritual Energy Shield tempered the Spiritual Qi.

Through thousands of strikes, Spiritual Qi naturally became concentrated and of higher quality.

Moreover, though this place seemed harsh, the Spiritual Qi was abundant, making Qi Absorption easier than in the outside world.

"It seems Gale Prison is an excellent place for training. It would be a pity to leave so easily after coming here."
