Seeing Ding Huan’s expression, Fei Tongtong sighed internally; it seemed Mr. Ding had no intention of going to rescue his own student.
Indeed, the fierce beasts at the human corridor defense line were too formidable; Mr. Ding might not be even considered a match. If it were her, she probably wouldn’t go either.
Naturally, Ding Huan did not want to go to the human corridor defense line; he had already planned to make a round at the Genetic Alliance headquarters once he reached Pu Hai.
To see if he could get some information on the Kunlun Daoist relics, and also to see if he could obtain some vitality stones.
After returning from Kunlun Mountain, he planned to visit Qu Yi and then head to Zhengping City’s Da Han Yi Academy to see Fang Chong.
Ding Huan was quite optimistic about Fang Chong’s development.
While Ding Huan was considering how to deal with any Innate Strong People from the Genetic Alliance he might encounter, Principal Tan Bei hurriedly arrived at the school gate.
"Mr. Ding, I’ve finally seen you," Tan Bei greeted with a warm smile.
"Principal Tan," Ding Huan also greeted; he stayed at Yujiang University for one purpose only—the gene laboratory.
"Here is your letter; I’ve been unable to meet you, so it’s been with me," Tan Bei said as he handed a letter to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan’s Divine Will scanned the letter, which contained only one sentence: "Ding Jie is hiding at Chong Yan’s house in Heluo Shangwu University."
"Principal Tan, who gave you this letter?" Ding Huan asked, tucking the letter away.
"Was this mailed?" Tan Bei asked, puzzled.
Ding Huan realized it must have indeed been sent by mail.
At Yujiang University, the most famous person wasn’t Principal Tan Bei but rather Mr. Ding Huan.
Since Ding Huan was not in the school, any letters for him were naturally handed to Tan Bei immediately.
If the information from the person who sent Ding Jie’s details was true, not only did they have extensive Divine Skills, but they were also adept at understanding human psychology.
"Thank you."
Ding Huan thanked Tan Bei and then said to Fei Tongtong, "You may find a place to stay first; we won’t be leaving until tomorrow."
"Alright." Although Fei Tongtong was eager to accompany Ding Huan to Pu Hai immediately, she knew she couldn’t rush this matter.
"Mr. Ding, are you leaving tomorrow?" Tan Bei had planned to hold a meeting, letting Ding Huan give a speech, and then let Yujiang University gain some more fame; he hadn’t expected Ding Huan would leave the next day.
Ding Huan smiled, "Principal Tan, Yujiang University already has plenty of students; as long as these students are well-taught, Yujiang University will gradually improve."
He knew what Tan Bei was thinking.
Realizing his thoughts had been seen through by Ding Huan, Tan Bei chuckled sheepishly and didn’t mind.
...
When Ding Huan headed to Luoh River Shangwu University, the human corridor defense line was in complete disarray.
Because the defense line had been breached.
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
Under the cover of millions of Genetic Beasts, a Flying Dragon, even stronger than an Innate Strong Person, mounted the steel city wall of the human corridor defense line.
This Flying Dragon’s strength was obviously far superior to the other Genetic Beasts; most frightening of all, it could also emit Wind Blades.
With just one opening of its mouth, a row of Wind Blades sprayed out.
Any soldier standing in front of the Flying Dragon who got touched by these Wind Blades would die instantly.
"Focus the firepower, all attack this beast," the commander of the human corridor defense line, Zheng Fang, roared crazily.
Zheng Fang didn’t need to remind them; bullets had already been ricocheting off this Flying Dragon. The bullets didn’t draw any blood on the dragon’s body, and sparks even flew off.
Desperate, Zheng Fang himself grabbed the Penetrating Burst Arrow Cannon and fired at the Flying Dragon.
In the Alliance Army, the most powerful single-combat weapon was this Penetrating Burst Arrow Cannon.
Regrettably, the cannonballs of the Penetrating Burst Arrow Cannon were too expensive, costing hundreds of thousands of Alliance currency each, and under normal circumstances, it was simply not affordable.
Boom! This cannon finally tore open the body of the Flying Dragon, and clouds of blood burst forth.
The Flying Dragon let out a terrifying cry and, madly, lunged towards Zheng Fang.
Zheng Fang didn’t have the chance to fire a second shot before the Flying Dragon tore his head apart.
With the first commander killed by the Flying Dragon, the rest of the people were blinded by rage, all their attacks bombarding this Flying Dragon.
Unfortunately, only the Penetrating Burst Arrow Cannon could injure the Flying Dragon; after Zheng Fang’s death, the cannon was crushed into a heap of scrap metal by the Flying Dragon.
On the human corridor defense line, Zheng Fang was extremely beloved.
Now with Zheng Fang killed, even Qu Yi was pushed to her limit of rage, her Wind Blades furiously deluging the Flying Dragon.
Ai Xi also frantically wielded her Wind Blade Skill.
Although their skills weren’t bad, compared to the Flying Dragon, their methods of attack were too simplistic and frail.
Wind Blade Skill would be a lethal weapon against low-level Fierce Beasts, but against a creature like the Flying Dragon, it was far too weak.
Qu Yi’s Wind Blade Skill could leave several red marks on the Flying Dragon, while Ai Xi’s Wind Blade Skill could only leave white marks.
One could say it was no different from ordinary soldiers shooting with guns.
Because the Flying Dragon had charged onto the steel city wall, the already disadvantaged protective wall was completely broken.
More and more Fierce Beasts charged in, and soldiers were continuously devoured or killed by the beasts.
The Flying Dragon, eventually infuriated by Qu Yi’s Wind Blade Skill, attacked her just as it had previously attacked Zheng Fang—it went crazy and pounced toward Qu Yi again.
Qu Yi, however, was no longer afraid. The moment she had reached the human corridor’s defense line, she had already decided to leave her life there.
Now as the Flying Dragon charged toward her, she recklessly blasted out Wind Blades and then prepared her Fireball Technique.
When the Flying Dragon opened its mouth to swallow her, she threw a bunch of fireballs straight into its mouth.
"Boom!" Almost when the Flying Dragon was about to reach Qu Yi, another explosion sounded.
Then Qu Yi saw a bloody hole appear on the Flying Dragon’s head. Despite the severe injury, the dragon didn’t die but instead roared crazily.
"Qu Yi, you and Ai Xi better retreat, retreat immediately. This world can go on without this old man, but it needs you young people."
An aged voice sounded, and soon Qu Yi and Ai Xi saw General Hu Jiatian shouldering the Penetrating Burst Arrow Cannon and aiming at the Flying Dragon.
Clearly, the shot that had just been fired was also from him.
The Flying Dragon’s anger instantly shifted to Hu Jiatian. Qu Yi’s damage to it was negligible, but this old man with just one shot had reduced its life by one third.
"Hurry and go!" Hu Jiatian yelled crazily at Qu Yi and Ai Xi, as he aimed the Penetrating Burst Arrow Cannon at the dragon charging toward him again.
"Qu Yi, let’s hurry. Otherwise, the General’s death will be in vain," Ai Xi said, knowing it was pointless to stay. Her eyes red, she frantically pulled Qu Yi and they fled.
Any lower-level Fierce Beasts that came close were torn apart by her Wind Blades.
Qu Yi knew in her heart that Ai Xi was right.
But to let an old man create a chance for them to live, she really couldn’t do it.
Boom! Another horrifying explosion sounded, followed by the Flying Dragon’s angry and mournful roar; Qu Yi’s tears couldn’t help but overflow.
She knew then, General Hu had fired the Penetrating Burst Arrow Cannon again, but without looking, she knew General Hu was gone.
"All units pay attention, fire at my position, use the G3X model missile cannon, quickly fire at me..."
Commander Kendi’s voice came from among the group of beasts, but the voice vanished after just a few words.
He died without seeing a single cannon shell fired toward him.
The moment the Flying Dragon charged onto the protective wall, it had foreshadowed the outcome.
Now, the General was dead, the Commander was dead, the Chief of Staff was dead, the Deputy Commander was also dead...
Inside the steel defense wall, the protective cannon squad was also about to be destroyed by the beasts. At this moment, the human corridor’s defense line was doomed to complete destruction.
After the anger, the guarding soldiers, knowing the situation was over, retreated one after another.
...
After graduation, this was Ding Huan’s first time returning to Heluo Shangwu Academy.
He initially didn’t want to come, simply because the ten-thousand-year-old Ancient Cypress behind Heluo Shangwu University was somewhat eerie, and Ding Huan did not want to get too close to the tree.
However, with Ding Jie here, Ding Huan absolutely would not miss the opportunity.
In his previous life under normal circumstances, he should have died at the hands of Ding Jie. His father, Ding Baishan’s disappearance was also related to Ding Jie.
Knowing the news of Ding Jie, how could he let it go?
Chong Yan, Ding Huan knew, served as an honorary professor at Heluo Shangwu University and basically did nothing in the academy. It was said that he came from Yanjing, somewhat mysterious.
This reminded Ding Huan of the Endurance Gene Potion.
The Endurance Gene Potion was researched by Geng Qianxing. In his previous life, he had not heard of Geng Qianxing, but later the Endurance Gene Potion was developed by Heluo Shangwu University.
According to the timeline of his previous life, the Endurance Gene Potion should have already appeared at Heluo Shangwu University at this time.
In this life, he had saved Geng Qianxing. After Geng Qianxing took the Endurance Gene Potion and left the Genetic Alliance, Heluo Shangwu University never again had the capability to develop the Endurance Gene Potion.
Upon arriving at Heluo Shangwu University, Ding Huan didn’t go around in circles; he went straight to Chong Yan’s office.
He planned to forcefully make Chong Yan take him to find Ding Jie.
What Ding Huan had not expected was, just as he arrived outside Chong Yan’s office, he saw Chong Yan talking to a man with a full beard.
Ding Huan sneered, it was indeed Ding Jie.
This guy had transformed into a bearded man, probably also holding some position here.
He didn’t know who had secretly helped him, making it so easy to locate Ding Jie.
