Chapter 46

"Phew~ Phew~!" Gong Sun Murong panted heavily; he had used his inner strength too quickly and was not yet accustomed to it.

"Oh, they escaped, let me finish them off." Nalasha sighed and then pierced a panicked opponent with a water arrow.

Gong Sun Murong moved his hand, and his sword flew in an arc, killing two more who had carelessly rushed in.

"What should we do?" Nalasha asked.

"How much more?" Gong Sun Murong asked with concern, referring to the suppression Nalasha was facing.

"A little bit." Nalasha used her thumb and index finger to indicate: "Someone is using a large amount of earth magic, with very strong control. It's also evening there, so my water, ice, and light magic aren't very effective."

Nalasha had finally encountered a formidable opponent. Previously, she had always been the one suppressing others, and the sky seemed to belong to her. But this time, it felt different.

"A little bit?" Gong Sun Murong asked again.

"Uh-huh!" Nalasha nodded vigorously.

"Change your equipment, use earth magic to counter them." Gong Sun Murong said, taking out some earth-gray jewelry from his spatial storage.

"Okay!" Nalasha didn't like this color, but she still took it and changed her deep blue jewelry.

Gong Sun Murong put away the jewelry Nalasha had taken off and said, "In a moment, we'll charge out. You immediately use earth magic to counter them, then give me a wind magic boost. I'll fire a shot first, then rush over and take their bodies, or finish them off with a sword."

"Okay, Brother Murong, remember to use poison. We should bring anti-poison items. We've already fought once, we can't let it be for nothing," Nalasha added.

"After this attack, you immediately change your jewelry back," Gong Sun Murong thought about the situation afterward.

"Okay."

"Prepare, three, two, one, charge."

Gong Sun Murong carried Nalasha and charged out again.

Dorn Flower was currently reporting to two newly arrived imperial earth mages, both of whom were more powerful than him, one at level three and the other at level four.

Just as he opened his mouth, he felt the earth magic around him was no longer under his control, as if it had been forcibly channeled into someone else's domain.

Then he saw the two children appear again. The girl who had been sitting on the boy's shoulders, previously dressed in deep blue, was now dressed in earth gray.

He instantly understood what was happening. She had previously been using a water magic set, and now she had switched to an earth magic set, still a complete set.

Could such a pure, high-level single-element magic set be changed so easily?

The boy no longer held his sword. What was that? It seemed he was about to aim something at them.

"Defend!" Dorn Flower shouted, his voice filled with panic, and he simultaneously tried to move backward.

The other two newcomers, not knowing what was happening, instinctively cast their own earth magic defenses.

Then they saw the boy aim something at them, followed by a flash of white light.

Dorn Flower was already retreating, but in that instant, he felt as if the sky had collapsed.

His mind was filled with one thought: What was that thing? It didn't give time to dodge; seeing it meant taking the hit, with no way to avoid it.

He found himself flying through the air, and he forced his eyes open.

Looking down, he saw the boy's figure flickering, and upon sensing, he realized all the earth magic elements around were under the control of the girl on the boy's shoulders, her arms spread wide, her golden hair flying.

Countless spikes shot out from the ground within a 500-meter radius.

A thick mist quickly spread out in all directions.

Dorn Flower struggled to maintain his flight and balance in the air.

He couldn't help but scream, "What is on the other side of the passage~?"

He was beginning to doubt, suspecting that the other side was not the Gels Principality but a concentration camp for geniuses on the Lanceskent continent.

Legend had it that any child from there could instantly cast various large-scale spells.

But the boy showed no signs of any magic, how could he be so fast?

He was right in front of them.

Defend, Thick Earth Guard.

'Boom' Dorn Flower had already taken flight, but after casting an earth defense spell, he was thrown backward again.

As he flew, he saw the two higher-level earth mages, one hit by the boy's fist on the head, the other kicked down by the boy's spinning kick.

The problem was that the boy's foot was at least a meter away from the heads of the people, yet he still managed to kick them.

The boy then used his free hand to grab the one he had knocked out with his fist and the one he had kicked unconscious, and flickered away again.

Only when the two children disappeared into the teleportation passage did Dorn Flower finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He controlled his descent, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and panting heavily.

He didn't order anyone to chase them, knowing it would be futile and that anyone who went after them would be killed.

Even if he went, he would be killed, let alone the others.

And...

"What's wrong with you?" Dorn Flower noticed something was amiss.

When the two children charged out, they were accompanied by a thick mist, which was now spreading and thinning.

But everyone who came into contact with the mist was vomiting.

As they vomited, blood began to drip from their eyes, noses, ears, and mouths.

Dorn Flower continued to fly backward, realizing it was poison, a ruthless tactic.

A light breeze rose, and the toxic mist spread even faster.

It was over; everyone involved in the ambush plan was finished.

The airship was destroyed, and the people were dead.

Dorn Flower cried, then laughed, cried again, and laughed again, waving his hands and shouting, "It's fake, all fake, a beautiful dream," as he ran away.

Gong Sun Murong and Nalasha, having returned, began to work.

Nalasha changed her equipment.

Gong Sun Murong took out a large handful of medicine and stuffed it into the mouths of the two people he had knocked out.

His plan had some deviations; the person he had targeted reacted too quickly, and he couldn't catch up.

He had to settle for the two people next to the target, hoping to get more useful information from them.

Gong Sun Murong felt exhausted, both physically and mentally. The battle had shown him that people who had lived for many years were indeed formidable.

He needed to continue to work hard, even learning combat techniques and magic.

Although his inner strength could penetrate combat techniques and magic, having another method would increase his chances of survival when his inner strength was exhausted.

Gong Sun Murong was also very excited; he was about to break through, advancing the Fuxi Technique from the upper third level to the lower fourth level.

When they came to the capital, he had just reached the upper third level. In just over two months, he had made a significant leap, and he believed he would become even more powerful in the future.

Indeed, there was no pressure, no motivation. If he hadn't pushed his cultivation to the limit just now, he might not have had the breakthrough, and it would have taken another one or two months.

Nalasha also began to think. Was she a genius? She was indeed very powerful among her peers.

But on the battlefield, no one would hold back because she was young. Humph! These people had no compassion at all.

She needed to work hard, then go into the 'Crystal House' to sleep for a month, not seeing Brother Murong for a month.

Both of them, each with their own thoughts, decided not to charge out again. What if an even more powerful opponent appeared on the other side?

Did they have to use all their trump cards today?

No, absolutely not.

After a brief rest, the two of them, with the captives stuffed with medicine, quickly ran back.

They needed to report the message; this passage was too dangerous.

******

A large crowd stood by the shore of the Soul Lake. From a high vantage point, one could see a dense mass of people.

Susan Helen was almost frantic. She had requested the mobilization of 120,000 regular troops from the principality.

A combat group of 86 high-level mages, all that the principality could muster, was on standby, ready to attack at any moment.

Even two earth mages from the royal guard had been dispatched.

These were earth mages, and according to the intelligence she had, there were only five earth mages in the entire principality, four of whom she had seen, and one whose identity was unknown.

This showed how much the Grand Duke valued the two children.

Now, there was no news from the two children.

Susan Helen nervously glanced at the Grand Duke standing beside her, waiting for the order to send people down.

Yes, the Grand Duke had also come.

Originally, Gels was at the Celeste Comprehensive Academy, participating in a selection competition to choose qualified candidates to be sent to the empire for further selection.

Who would have thought that a problem would arise? His granddaughter found him and said that the pond dug by Gong Sun Murong and Nalasha might connect to the Soul Lake.

Not long after, someone reported that enemies had been found at the Soul Lake and that a battle had already taken place.

The latest news was that Nalasha and her brother had captured a level four high mage and discovered a teleportation passage.

Grand Duke Gels could no longer sit still. These two kids were risking their lives.

They should have returned after gaining the upper hand.

They were still waiting for them to participate in the under-10 and 10-20 age group competitions, and they had already been placed on the exemption list.

If they didn't return, the principality would suffer a great loss.

So, he was also extremely anxious as he hurried over.

Looking at the calm lake surface, it seemed to hide endless dangers.

"Grandpa, send people down quickly," Lucia stomped her feet in anxiety.

She had never had any friends and didn't want to lose the good friend she had just found.

Grand Duke Gels had a stern look on his face, nodded, took a deep breath, and was about to give the order.

But then he suddenly noticed that the water near the shore was no longer calm, but was boiling like it was being heated.

So, he changed his order to, "Alert the water, prepare for battle."

Numerous bows and crossbows were aimed, and the sky battle magic ships also aimed their cannons.

The high mage combat group's magic fluctuations were intense.

When everyone was ready to attack, a thick column of water shot up from the lake, reaching over ten meters into the air.

At the top of the water column, four figures appeared.

Two of the figures were lying down, while the other two were a girl in a beautiful princess dress and a boy in the uniform of the Celeste Comprehensive Academy.

Grand Duke Gels was slightly stunned and quickly shouted, "Cancel the attack, continue to guard the lake."
