Chapter 178: Return to Reality
Outside the obelisk of Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
Huang Ying’s Phoenix had already been shattered. It had already lost the chance to revive.
“Mr. Xiahou, you said that you would protect Heavenly Secret Pavilion no matter what. What has changed you?” Huang Ying was struggling to support his body and was questioning Xiahou, who had already become a demon.
Xiahou did not answer. Instead, he commanded his Xuanming warrior to launch the final attack on the Phoenix.
The Phoenix had completely disappeared. Along with it was the soul contract on Huang Ying’s body.
Huang Ying was already the last expert present. The other teachers were already lying on the ground, not moving at all.
“Fang Yuan… From now on, I’ll rely on you alone…” Huang Ying saw Xiahou holding a sword and getting closer to him. He chose to close his eyes.
He began to miss the days when he studied under Xiahou.
“Mr. Xiahou, you’re really kind to your pet beasts. You actually bandaged their wounds.”
“Huang Ying, do you think I’m overdoing it?”
“No, I think you’re too great, Teacher.”
“Pet beasts are actually like children. They don’t have individual consciousness. Only pet beasts that have signed a contract with humans will gradually have self-consciousness.”
…
“Mr. Xiahou, where are you going?” Huang Ying looked at Xiahou who had rushed out of the door and hurriedly chased after him.
It turned out that the students of the Earth group were torturing and killing a captured little demon wolf in order to obtain a magic core.
“Xiahou, you’re really a hypocrite. Don’t you eat meat yourself?” Sima Kaile asked with a cold gaze when he saw that Xiahou had beaten all his students to the ground and was on the verge of death.
“I told you not to torture and kill them, and not to eat meat?” Ouyang Xinglan hurriedly stepped out to be the peacemaker and said, “It’s too inappropriate for your students to do such a thing.”
“Then what should we do? Give it anesthetic first, and then kill it?” Sima Kaile laughed and said.
At this moment, Xiahou walked to the student’s side. Sima Kaile was afraid that something would happen to the student, so he quickly prepared to go forward and stop him.
Xiahou grabbed the student’s neck and lifted him up in the air.
“Teacher, I beg you to spare me.” His face had already turned purple from being pinched, and he was begging for mercy.
“Stop right now!!” Sima Kaile could not take it anymore and summoned his pet beast.
But at this moment, Xiahou let go.
He asked coldly, “Do you know what fear is now?”
The student nodded in fear. His eyes were filled with tears as he ran away.
…
The scene returned to the laboratory.
Huang Ying asked, “Mr. Xiahou, why did you do that?”
Xiahou said without turning his head, “It’s very easy to be cruel to the weak. I just wanted to let him know what it would feel like to face the strong.”
…
Huang Ying did not know why he thought of these things. Perhaps this was so-called “when a person is about to die, memories of the past will appear in his mind”.
During the days when Xiahou left the school, Huang Ying had been unswervingly carrying out the education policy that Xiahou had left behind. He did not expect that he would die under the sword of the person he admired the most.
This was enough.
He had already lived for too many years in Heavenly Secret Pavilion. This was also a kind of relief.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and waited for the end to come.
“Teacher Huang, at any time, you can not give up hope.”
Just as Xiahou’s sword was about to touch Huang Ying, a familiar voice came from behind.
Then, a long spear pierced through Xia Hou’s elbow, making him put down the sword in his hand.
“Fang Yuan?” Huang Ying’s eyes were full of tears. He was originally in despair, and now his heart suddenly lit up with hope.
“I am late.” Fang Yuan stood behind Huang Ying and put a hand on Huang Ying’s shoulder. “Teacher, don’t give up hope.”
“Alright, I won’t.” Huang Ying actually stood up under this encouragement.
He suddenly realized that his body was beginning to flash with a green light. This was Fang Yuan’s imprint power.
Huang Ying felt that the soul contract in his body had been restored. His Phoenix had also transformed back into a small pet egg. This egg shell also had a unique flame pattern on it. That was the egg that Huang Ying had seen for the first time.
“Who are you?” Xiahou, who had been silent all this time, actually asked when he saw Fang Yuan.
“My name is Fang Yuan.” After Fang Yuan helped Huang Ying up, he stood in front of Huang Ying. “I’m the man who came to end the curse of your demon race.”
“You’re overestimating yourself.” Xiahou snorted. The Xuanming warrior holding the Rice-Wife Sword instantly came in front of him and made a protective posture.
[ Scientific name: Xuanming Warrior ]
[ Bloodline: Skeleton Emperor ]
[ Rarity: Peak King ]
[ Attributes: Darkness, undead race ]
[ Positioning: Attack, meat Shield ]
If it was in the past, Fang Yuan would have been shocked by this pet beast.
It could actually be considered a peak king at such a level.
However, only after Fang Yuan had truly come into contact with the legendary realm did he understand that the difference between a king and a legendary was not just one or two levels.
He now understood that even if he had a 100 times increase system, he still wouldn’t be able to evolve a peak king into legendary. This was the difference in quality, and it wasn’t something that could be made up with quantity.
In other words…
A peak king’s pet beast used the rules to the extreme, while a legendary pet beast created the rules within its ability.
“Ah Li, let it experience your power.”
Fang Yuan smiled.
The current Ah Li was exactly the same as the one he had seen in the illusion. Its name was Nine Tails, and its rules were energy absorption.
The reason why the Xuanming warrior was so powerful before was because it was an immortal warrior. Its sword was also covered with darkness damage. Other than the light-type pet beast and its attributes that countered each other, all the other pet beasts would be dealt double damage by the darkness-type skills.
In addition to the physical damage of its sword, it could kill most pet beasts in one hit.
He also attacked Ah Li in the same way.
Unexpectedly, all the darkness power on its sword was absorbed by Ah Li.
“This is…” Xiahou was a little surprised. He couldn’t believe that someone could really reach the realm of “King” like. This was the power of a legendary pet beast!
“I have often heard Teacher Huang mention about you. He said that you are a gentle and kind person, but now you have fallen into the hands of the demons. It really makes me feel sorry,” Fang Yuan said. At this time, his body was already burning with the “Power of Circulation”.
“Ah Li, destroy them altogether.”
Nine Tails jumped in front of Fang Yuan and used its tail to gather the power of nine attributes. It was like a laser cannon that was continuously shooting at Xiahou and his Xuanming warrior like a sieve.
“I lost…” Xiahou looked at the sky in disbelief.
