Chapter 894: Chapter 694: Sudden Upheaval (Part 2)
At this moment, Xudong’s pounding hand stopped, his body slumped, and he completely lost all movement.
"To hell with it!"
Old Cheng’s eyes turned crimson as he roared furiously. A sudden storm violently tore his shirt apart, and the surging Wind Star Power, combined with the Wind Return Wall, blew away the three Shadow Strikes.
Old Cheng quickly stepped forward to pick up the talisman, then infused it with Star Power to activate it.
The next moment, the alarms throughout the entire suburban base went off!
Old Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally..."
"Hiss!"
Before the words fell, a black claw burst through his chest.
Old Cheng’s whole body trembled, and then he collapsed weakly...
In Shuzhou, on the plaza outside the Rainforest Secret Realm in Guangchuan City, several hundred students lined up under the guidance of their teachers.
"Finally here, finally here, the United Trials! All the high schools from Guangchuan City participating together in the trials, just thinking about it makes me excited!"
"Especially since several schools from Qingye City, including Qingye High School, also came. It’s said that Qingye High School has three Star Apprentice Ninth Rank students!"
"Really!"
As many young students sized up students from other schools, they chattered excitedly.
"Speaking of which, Guangchuan City’s development seems to have become quite impressive over the years, with three new schools being built.
Not to mention other policies, the rewards for this United Trial keep getting higher each time, and it’s said that the top three this year will get green Star Cards and white Star Devices!"
"It feels like Qingye City is strongly supporting us, probably because of Senior Su Yuan, who has made the higher-ups see our potential."
"Because of Senior Su? Although it sounds a bit exaggerated, it seems there aren’t any other reasons..."
In every generation, talented people emerge, and it seems that destiny has arrived. Over the past few years, the academy has had super prodigies causing a sensation almost every year.
Although, for students across the entire Great Flame, the once-renowned Su Yuan is history.
But for a small Third Stage city like Guangchuan, Su Yuan is still the only genius known to every household and remains the greatest idol in the hearts of all Guangchuan students!
...
Not much later, a relatively young captain came over, none other than Guo Hao, the City Guard Captain responsible for this United Trial and a Gold Level expert.
Many students had never really seen Gold Level experts before, and couldn’t help but look on curiously and observantly.
"Let me repeat the rules..."
Guo Hao expressionlessly recited the rules of the United Trial and emphasized the safety guidelines in detail once again.
"Alright, those are the rules, and you all are clear about the rewards. Next, we’ll start preparing for phased entry beginning with Qingye High School!"
Guo Hao stepped forward, took out the talisman to control the Secret Realm, and was about to make a move.
But at this moment, several City Guards hurriedly approached from the base!
"Captain Guo, there seems to be a problem inside the Secret Realm. We’ve received an emergency signal!"
"Hmm? Emergency signal?!" Guo Hao’s expression turned serious, and he quickly asked, "What’s the specific situation?"
"We don’t know the specifics. We just received an emergency signal from the stationed Secret Realm team, and then we couldn’t contact them anymore!"
Guo Hao said, "Notify everyone, Level One Alert status, gather all personnel here and immediately seek assistance from the City Guard Bureau! Also, inform the elite squad to prepare to go into the Secret Realm with me for rescue!"
"Yes!" one of the City Guards who came to deliver the message immediately responded and took action.
Guo Hao then looked at the many teachers and students outside, pondered for a moment, and called out loudly, "The United Trial is temporarily postponed. All teachers immediately lead your students away from here! Chen Ting, you take a squad and cooperate with them, quickly, everyone move!"
The fully-prepared students, although they hadn’t clearly heard what Guo Hao and the City Guards were saying, could see that something seemed to be wrong.
"What’s going on?"
"It seems like something happened inside the Secret Realm!"
"Huh? When will we be able to have the United Trial, then..."
"Don’t worry about it now; it seems serious. Quickly follow the instructions and go with the teacher!"
...
"Quickly, everyone, follow me and run out immediately!"
Under the guidance of teachers from each school and the City Guards, all students quickly evacuated outside.
Guo Hao hadn’t expected star beasts to rush out, but in the current situation, the United Trial definitely couldn’t proceed, and in case of any issues, having the teachers quickly lead the students out was reassuring.
Over forty City Guard members stationed at the base quickly gathered, armed with standard weapons and Star Energy Guns.
City Guard members were at least Bronze Level, with twelve at the Silver Stage.
Such a configuration, in theory, should be more than sufficient to handle the star beasts within the Bronze Level Rainforest Mysterious Realm.
But Guo Hao couldn’t shake an ominous feeling from his heart.
Not just because of the "emergency signal," but also because contact was lost with the stationed Secret Realm members moments after they sent out the alert.
The ominous feeling in his heart became more apparent, and Guo Hao couldn’t help urging once more.
"Quick, Chen Ting, evacuate the students faster!"
"Duan Hao, has the support from the City Guard Bureau been deployed?"
...
The teachers and students from each school hadn’t even completely left the field of view when suddenly a layer of shimmering silver light spread from the entrance of the Secret Realm on the plaza!
"What is that?"
Students who hadn’t gone far saw this scene and were greatly surprised. They stopped in their tracks and turned their heads, as did the teachers from various schools.
And in the next moment, Phantom Tigers, Gale Wolves, Speedy Bulls...a variety of star beasts burst out of the silver light fiercely.
In just one confrontation, a Speedy Bull suddenly dashed out and sent a nearby City Guard member flying, its horn piercing through the heart, splattering blood on the spot!
Although most students from many schools had killed star beasts, watching a person be killed by a star beast was a first for almost all of them.
Hundreds of teachers and students felt a jolt in their hearts as they saw the splattered blood, fallen bodies, and the large number of star beasts swarming out, a wave of fear instantly filled everyone’s hearts.
"Star beasts! So many star beasts!"
"Run!!"
"..."
"Don’t panic, quickly, stay close to me!"
Terrified students and shocked teachers had never encountered such a situation before!
Guo Hao shouted angrily, "Damn it! Hold these star beasts off; don’t let them reach the students!"
Guo Hao led the charge, his Fist Power surging, crushing one star beast after another on the spot!
With his Gold Level mighty strength, Guo Hao himself was not in danger, but he feared these star beasts would break through the defense line and attack the students at the back, so he had to unleash his full force to efficiently annihilate these star beasts.
However, there were just too many star beasts swarming out!
Even though Guo Hao blocked most of the star beasts, the rear City Guards were still under considerable pressure, and soon several City Guards were injured.
At this moment, a massive Wild Flame Mammoth charged with its horns towards a Bronze Level team member!
In a split second, Guo Hao suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the horns, and with his formidable Gold Level power, pinned it to the ground, then smashed down with a punch.
"Boom," the Wild Flame Mammoth’s head was crushed.
"Tha...thank you, Captain Guo..."
The Bronze Level team member narrowly escaped death and thanked fearfully.
But Guo Hao’s expression changed.
"Silver Star Beast? Damn! How can there be Silver Star Beasts!"
Everyone was shocked by these words.
Indeed, the Rainforest Secret Realm is merely a Bronze Level Secret Realm for student trials; how could there be Silver Star Beasts!
Not just one Silver Star Beast like the Wild Flame Mammoth, but Silver Star Beasts were continuously coming out one after another...
