Chapter 14

Although it had been a few months since Ji Ruo transmigrated to this world, and he had already merged with the host’s memories, Ji Ruo did not really accept the host’s social relationship.

Ji Ruo seemed to be very familiar with his classmates, but only Ji Ruo himself knew that these ‘familiar’ classmates were strange to him.

The original host’s memory was still the original host’s memory.

In Ji Ruo’s eyes, these ‘familiar’ classmates were just the original host’s familiar classmates.

Earlier, when Liang Shixian, as the class president, had planned to lead by example and cover the retreat of Ji Ruo and the other ‘ordinary students,’ Ji Ruo’s heart had been shaken.

That ‘I’m the class monitor after all!’ It was like a heavy hammer that smashed the barrier in Ji Ruo’s heart.

Although Liang Shixian phrased it nicely, the result of staying behind to cover while they retreat was death.

Did Liang Shixian not know? Of course, he knew!

Even so, Liang Shixian still decided to bring up the rear. Even though he was also very afraid and even though his voice was trembling, he still used Iron Skin which he had just glimpsed the basics of.

Ji Ruo was shocked.

In the memories left behind by the original owner, there were many bits and pieces of his school days.

Liang Shixian was not the only one who had helped Ji Ruo.

Yonkers’s grade 12 class 4 was very united, and there had never been any bullying.

Liang Shixian’s ‘I’m the class president after all.’ It was like a sharp sword that pierced through the memory gap between the original host and Ji Ruo, forcefully merging Ji Ruo’s life with the life of the original host.

His memory became clear. At that moment, Ji Ruo suddenly felt that it was not bad to have a group of classmates like this.

So he stopped, turned around, and walked forward. He comprehended the swordsmanship and faced the demonic creature!

Liang Shixian wanted to learn swordsmanship, and Ji Ruo didn’t plan to hold anything back.

To Ji Ruo, this Sword Art was not particularly precious.

Moreover, Liang Shixian exchanged his life for this.

Even though Liang Shixian did not have the chance to face danger until the end, his courage to stop at the very beginning was worth Ji Ruo remembering this class president whom he had only known for a few months!

“Let’s go this way. I’ll teach you slowly on the way,” Ji Ruo said as he tried to figure out the direction.

Along the way, Ji Ruo had been showing the way, but [Absolute Directional Sense]’s correction percentage didn’t increase.

Thinking about it, it would be unreasonable if such a powerful ability could be improved so easily.

“Yes.” Liang Shixian nodded.

Now, he had no doubt about Ji Ruo’s ability to point the way.

It had only been a day since the martial arts exam, and they had already graduated. Although luck played a big part, it was still because of Ji Ruo’s guidance.

In theory, if this was all luck, then it was all Ji Ruo’s luck.

As they walked, Ji Ruo taught Liang Shixian Solitude Nine Swords – broken arrow form. Liang Shixian learned it very seriously, but he did not let his guard down. At the same time, he was still on alert for any movements around him.

Being in the secret realm of Myriad Beast Mountain, he could not be careless.

Zhang Quan and Liu Neng looked at the two of them enviously, but they didn’t get too close.

They were able to survive until now all because of these two top students from other schools that they met on the way.

They had been saved by Ji Ruo several times. Although Ji Ruo was a little immature and liked to sing songs that they had never heard before, he was very capable.

Besides, Ji Ruo was a good man. He had brought two strangers with him to this day. When they were being chased by the stinger demon bees, Zhang Quan and Liu Neng had never stopped. Now, even if they wanted to learn Ji Ruo’s swordsmanship, they were too embarrassed to ask.

They slowed down a little, too embarrassed to learn Ji Ruo’s sword technique.

If they wanted to learn, they could buy it after the martial exam.

Zhang Quan raised his wrist to take a look at his watch, but the distress message displayed on it remained unchanged.

He frowned, “Why is it so slow? A day had passed, but the martial artist invigilating the examination has not arrived yet. The teacher didn’t say anything about this situation!”

“Could there have been an accident?” Liu Neng hesitated.

“Impossible!” Zhang Quan’s eyebrows raised. “There won’t be any demonic beasts or devils that can threaten a realm martial artist in the open area of the martial examination. Even if something happens to us, it’s impossible for anything to happen to the patrolling martial artists!”

“But why hasn’t the martial artists on patrol found us after such a long time?”

“Yeah, why…” Zhang Quan was stunned for a moment.

…

“I District…”

The director of the education division panted heavily as he identified the original sequence of the area in front of him through some traces.

The humans divided Myriad Beast Mountain region into sixty regions, each named after the Heavenly Stem.

I District was originally the second last region, and the danger index was extremely high.

But now, because of a large-scale geological change, the last place, the J District, had been moved to an unknown place. The I District was no longer in its original position, but it had become the area closest to the mountainside.

Simply put, outside the I District was an area that had never been controlled by humans.

The second to last place became the first to last place.

“I hope there won’t be any candidates here.” The director of the education division took a deep breath. If any of the candidates were unlucky and were sent to this area, they would most likely be in trouble.

He didn’t have the power to bring the dead back to life. Even if he found it, he would only be collecting the candidates’ corpses.

Although this division chief had used his powerful strength to save thousands of candidates in a short day, many more candidates had already died. He had only returned the broken corpses of the candidates.

Every time he saw a candidate’s corpse, he would feel terrible.

The secretary didn’t stop and directly charged into I District.

Although he didn’t have much hope, he still had to search.

Even if they couldn’t rescue the students, they had to collect their corpses.

Even if it was already the worst-case scenario, they couldn’t let these young students be buried in a foreign land.

“Eh? Why is there such a strong smell of blood?” “Could it be…” The director was stunned.

He increased his speed and was so fast that he appeared to be a bright stream of light, speeding in the direction of the smell of blood.

In the blink of an eye, the director had crossed dozens of miles of the forest and saw the corpses of hundreds of dead beasts and monsters.

Above the corpses, a large group of stinger demon bees was moving their bloody food.

“This place…”

This purgatory-like scene didn’t scare the chief. After all, he was very knowledgeable.

“It seems that the demons and monsters have a conflict due to some reason, causing chaos and eventually suffering losses on both sides… The strong smell of blood attracted the stinger demon bees?”

The division chief was deep in thought and didn’t try to hide his presence, so he was quickly discovered by the stinger demon bees.

The swarm of stinger demon bees had just let go of a few of their food that could run away, and new food was coming to their doorstep now. How could the stinger demon bees hold back?

The bees immediately attacked the director.

“Hmph! You don’t know your place!”

The director snorted. He had seen too many deaths in a day’s journey. He was both guilty and anxious. These stinger demon bees still dared to make the first move?

It was simply looking for death!

“Heavenly Steel Palm!”

His vitality surged and the director struck out with his palm. The thick vitality transformed into a huge golden palm in the air, and the lines on the palm were clearly visible.

The giant palm released an unusually strong suction force and sucked the hundreds of stinger demon bees into the palm. Then, it wiped them out with one palm.

After dealing with the stinger demon bees, the division chief walked into the pile of corpses.

Although he didn’t have much hope, he still had to check if there were any traces of students or missing martial artists before leaving the I District.

“Eh? This was… Iron Sand Palm?”

On the chest of one of the goblin leaders, the chief was surprised to find a pair of charred palm marks.

The director was very familiar with the two marks.

It was clearly left behind by the Iron Sand Palm.
