The army began to move.
Quite a few officers were flying in the air, loudly shouting orders to their subordinates.
Rows after Rows of soldiers appeared from all directions, advancing rapidly towards the Royal Academy.
They formed a formation under the giant card, distributing weapons, armor, and supplies.
Once they were ready, each squad will rush into the card under the lead of the officer.
On the clock tower.
Liu Ping observed for a while, then asked in a low voice:
"What do you think about that monster?"
Zhao Chanyi's voice came from his ear: "I think it's incomplete, from what that guy called Qian Wuzhou said, its main body should still be somewhere very far away."
"So, do we have a chance of winning?" Liu Ping asked.
"From what I can tell, as long as this monster doesn't receive any help, we can definitely fight against it" Zhao Chanyi answered.
"Very good, we need to think of a way to sneak in" Liu Ping said.
"Why? Isn't this place safer? "Zhao Chanyi didn't understand.
"I still have two friends sealed inside, I need to think of a way to save them," Liu Ping answered.
"So that's how it is, but you've already lost all your strength, it won't be easy to sneak in, how about I go instead?" Zhao Chanyi asked.
"No, I have to do this, otherwise, if you're discovered, it'll be troublesome" Liu Ping replied.
His gaze swept through the void of space.
Lines of burning words quickly appeared in front of his eyes.
[You've activated Heroic Spirit Shelter]
[Choosing a Heroic Spirit randomly. Chosen one: Andrea.]
[If the following conditions are met, you can draw one of Andrea's ability variant and use it once]
[Draw requirement: Fool ten targets.]
[— — -Dragon race's basic skills need to be practiced at any time to avoid rusting]
Liu Ping finished reading, thought for a few moments, and then jumped down from the clock tower.
"Let's go" he said.
"Are we going to go in just like that? Won't we be stopped? "Zhao Chanyi asked.
"I've already left the battlefield, as long as we don't get discovered, we can sneak in."
Liu Ping quickly walked through the streets, occasionally meeting groups of soldiers.
He avoided the soldiers and slowly approached the area of the Sealing Card, quickly seeing the blockade set up by the military.
Unrelated people are not allowed to enter the blockade.
Liu Ping hid in the distance and watched for a while. After calculating the timing, he suddenly walked to the middle of the road and transformed.
In an instant, lines of burning words appeared:
[You've used the Occultism Card: Rock of nothingness]
[You've become the item that you needed to become in order to sneak into the Sealed Card]
After a few breaths.
More than a hundred soldiers rushed over.
The leader abruptly stopped and loudly shouted: "Which careless bastard was it that didn't even know that he dropped his own defensive Card?"
He bent down and picked up a card from the ground.
Depicted on the card was a complete set of Imperial standard armor.
— — this was a defensive equipment card.
Naturally, a complete set of armor could not be casually discarded.
The man put the Card away and waved his hand: "Keep going, we're almost there!"
They continued to march and soon arrived at the blockade line.
"Let them pass!" The officer guarding the blockade shouted.
The group of soldiers rushed below the Sealed Card and reported to their commanding officer.
"Reporting to Colonel, we have finished assembling!"
"Very good. Distribute the equipment and prepare to enter the sealed land."
"Yes sir!"
The soldiers anxiously prepared, and soon, they were in formation and rushed
into the Seal Card.
…
In the sky.
There were flying black monsters everywhere.
Their upper bodies were humans, while their lower bodies were insects. Rather than monsters, it would be more accurate to call them insects.
— — The insects were rampaging.
The Card users with powerful presence were flying back and forth in the sky, occasionally throwing out Cards to fight against the half-human, half-insect monsters.
On the ground.
The soldiers had gathered into formation, roared, and attacked the insects.
The battle between the two sides was gradually reaching its climax.
Liu Ping hid behind a school building, silently peeled off the military uniform of a soldier's corpse and put it on himself.
Lines of burning text appeared one after another:
[You've successfully fooled several dozen soldiers and entered this sealed land]
[Heroic Spirit Shelter has taken effect]
[Extracted abilities from Andrea and underwent Mystic-type transformation to obtain the following abilities:]
[Treasure picked up.]
[Note: For the next day, you will possess the dragon race's sharp intuition and related abilities, directly picking up the treasures of those who died in battle]
Liu Ping sighed and shook his head.
The current situation is very complicated, I originally wanted to extract an ability to support me in battle, but who knew I'd get something like this instead.
Forget it — —
Let's hurry up.
"How do we fight?" Zhao Chanyi asked.
"You can't show yourself" Liu Ping said.
"Can you show yourself?"
"I can't as well."
"Then — —"
"We'll use a disguise technique to hide our faces, making it so that no one can see through our disguise. But I'm not sure if those powerful Card users can see through our disguise, so we need to avoid them as much as possible."
"Liu Ping, I have a secret technique that can deceive those people."
"Ah? You're that confident? What technique is it? "
"You know, the technique I'm good at — — I almost used it on Fire Fang before."
"Male to female? No, use other methods! "
"… Then let's just demonize a bit, making it so that no one can see through your true identity."
"That's possible." Zhao Chanyi let out a joyful 'meow' and controlled Liu Ping's hands to form a hand seal.
Liu Ping's body slowly changed.
His face became thinner, his facial features also changed, his body became taller, his hands and legs also became longer.
— — -He turned into another person.
Or more accurately, he's demonized.
But this kind of thing can't be seen, because demon beasts' flesh, bones and behavior are basically the same as humans.
Zhao Chanyi was the previous Demon King, as well as a cat demon, so she's very familiar with this kind of thing.
The degree of demonization on Liu Ping's body is at a very subtle point, not only does it make him look like another person, but it also makes it so that humans won't think of him as a devil.
Liu Ping was lying on the ground with his hands and legs on the ground, squinting his eyes to observe the buildings around him.
"Where are we going?" he spoke in a soft voice.
"To the Martial Training Hall, Libertas and Xiao Mengluo usually like to train there," he spoke in a normal voice again.
"Let's go."
Liu Ping used both his hands and legs, effortlessly climbed up the 10-meter tall school building and looked towards the Martial Training Hall.
Between the teaching building and the Martial Training Hall, the human soldiers were currently fighting against the monsters.
Liu Ping looked up. In the sky, the Card users were also happily fighting against the monsters.
"I can't waste any more time," he muttered.
A ring of light appeared from below his feet and quickly spread to a range of 40 meters.
Liu Ping leapt forward — — -
From all directions, pieces of rocks, broken weapons, broken armor, and insect corpses quickly flew towards him and hovered in the air.
[You've used a '40-meter Summoning Halo']
[You've summoned a lot of battlefield debris into the air to form a floating bridge]
Suddenly.
A black shadow attacked Liu Ping — — -
Dong!
It crashed into a large rock that suddenly appeared and was sent flying.
Four large words were carved on the rock:
[Lide Treant]
— — -This is the Royal Academy's motto!
Liu Ping ignored everything that just happened and moved like a blurred shadow, quickly borrowing the momentum of these things to move forward.
Almost instantly — — -
He passed through the long battle line and landed on top of the Martial Training Hall's high platform.
"I'm going to hide for a while first."
Liu Ping uttered a small voice, then hid in the shadows of the wall and moved forward.
— — -like a vigilant cat, he slowly became one with the shadows.
A few moments later, he stopped, crouched down and observed his surroundings with a pair of glowing eyes.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
The insects that were attracted by flying over the two buildings just now landed on top of the high platform.
The insects let out a rhythmic chirp, looked around, but didn't see any living beings, so they had no choice but to fly up and leave this place.
It was only now that Liu Ping carefully came out, hung upside down outside a window and lightly pressed it — — -
The window was sealed shut, so he couldn't go in.
Liu Ping glanced inside, then instantly activated his Summoning Aura, moved the lock on the window to another position, opened the window, and went in.
"Who is it!?"
A voice shouted.
A few armored students came forward.
"I'm a special soldier of the 3rd Corps, here to save you," Liu Ping spoke in a low voice.
Everyone looked at his military uniform and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The other party was obviously a human wearing a military uniform, just like the soldiers fighting outside.
Libertas' voice sounded from not far away.
"What the hell? So the guy who flew through the air in such a flashy manner was you?"
He rushed in front of Liu Ping and looked him up and down. Suddenly, he said, "There are too many insects outside. The road has been completely blocked. Can you bring us to the dormitory?"
"Why do you want to go to the dormitory?" Liu Ping asked.
"We have many companions there," Libertas said.
A graceful figure rushed over and stood in front of Libertas. She hurriedly said to Liu Ping, "Please, take us to the boys' dormitory to save them."
Xiao Mengluo.
Although they knew that the environment was not right, the crowd still cheered in unison.
Liu Ping let out a cold snort that was full of arrogance. His expression changed continuously as he said in disdain, "You guys want to save people?"
Xiao Mengluo was stunned.
Liu Ping said in a low voice, "Take care of yourselves first. The ones in the dormitory have been rescued."
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Liu Ping raised his voice and said loudly, "We can't stay here for long. We have to leave immediately and escape from the academy to be safe!"
"Those insects are too powerful. With our strength, we can barely guard the entrance here," someone said.
"And this is because a large number of troops outside have attracted their attention. Otherwise, we would have been finished long ago," Libertas added with a relaxed expression.
Everyone agreed.
At this moment.
A loud noise came from the west door of the arena.
A monster more than three meters tall rushed in and landed high in the arena.
Its lower body had six compound legs, but its upper body was that of Qian Wuzhou.
"Qian Wuzhou!" Libertas exclaimed.
The monster turned its head and looked at Libertas, then at Xiao Mengluo.
"Very good, one escaped. There are two left," it said fiercely.
Xiao Mengluo said happily, "One escaped? You mean, Liu Ping has already escaped? "
"You want to know? Exchange it with your life! "
Qian Wuzhou's chest split open and a pale green liquid flew out.
The next moment —
The liquid was originally flying towards Xiao Mengluo, but it suddenly
disappeared in mid-air and appeared behind Qian Wuzhou.
Pew pew pew!
A strong corrosive sound came from his back.
"Ahhhh, which bastard is it! I'm going to kill you — — " Qian Wuzhou rolled on the ground in pain.
At this time, a few more insects flew in and landed around him.
"Haha, how did it end up like this?" a half-human, half-insect monster asked.
"It's new, so it naturally doesn't know how to fight" another insect said with contempt.
"But it's the one chosen by that person. Don't underestimate it, it might be stronger than all of us soon," a third insect said.
After that, their gazes moved away from Qian Wuzhou and looked at the students around them.
Liu Ping walked out and stood in front of everyone, saying softly:
"Are you willing to fight with me?"
He then said in an extremely soft voice: "Yes"
In the void of space, lines of burning text appeared:
[Zhao Chanyi agrees to fight with you]
[The activation conditions have been met]
[As a Warden Knight, the cards you draw will become your exclusive item and have an exclusive combat mode]
Liu Ping smiled and spoke to the monsters in front of him: "Do you dare to fight me?"
"You're courting death" a monster muttered.
"Kill him!"
"I'll go first — —"
The three monsters rushed towards Liu Ping!
Liu Ping stood still.
Lines of burning text quickly appeared one after another:
[The other party has agreed to fight with you!]
[The conditions have been met!]
[As a Warden Knight, this battle will immediately enter your exclusive combat mode: Soul Gambling]
[The soul of the loser will belong to the victor!]
