Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 78 The Master Attacks

Within the secret realm.

The three little ones finally gathered the three flags and put them together, thinking something would happen, but they found to their regret that nothing happened.

"Did I guess wrong?" Zhen Yi repeatedly checked the flag in his hand and found that there was indeed no reaction. "Don't we have to pass the level as long as everyone in the team obtains the flag?"

"Flags... too few?" Socially anxious Jing asked doubtfully.

"No." Zhen Yi shook his head. They originally thought that they could pass the level directly with three magic flags, but now it seems that it is not that simple. "Maybe there are other things I haven't considered." If the condition for passing the level is not the magic flag, there must be other rules that they have not discovered.

"So what should we do next?" Feng Ting also asked, "Should we continue looking for the flag? We... Hey, why is it raining?"

She was halfway through her words when she suddenly felt a fine raindrop drifting down, her head felt wet. She subconsciously looked up, but her eyes widened instantly, "What is that?!"

The two of them also looked up and saw a huge ice flower floating in the air. The flower was very large and transparent, hanging high in the air. If it weren't for the angle, they would not have been able to find it for a while.

I don't know if it's because the ice flower has been floating for too long, it seems to be melting, but the speed is extremely slow. Only one of the six petals of the ice flower has melted. However, due to its huge size, it has turned into fine and dense raindrops floating down.

Zhen Yi looked at it for a while and couldn't help asking, "Do you think this ice flower looks a bit like..."

"Hourglass?" He didn't finish his words when the other two responded in unison.

"This is a timekeeping device." The three of them reacted instantly. "Once the ice flowers melt, the secret realm should disappear."

"At this rate of dissolution, it should take about ten days." Zhen Yi calculated in his mind, "So, it seems that we can stay in this secret realm for ten days at most."

"What about after ten days? Will those of us who stayed behind have passed the test?" Feng Ting looked expectant.

"Not necessarily." Zhen Yi shook his head, "It is also possible that all of them will be eliminated." Everything depends on what the last rule is.

The social anxiety Jing next to him suddenly changed his expression and reminded, "Someone is here!"

Then the two of them also sensed the breath of a stranger, who was approaching them at a very fast speed. They became nervous and it was too late to hide, so they immediately put away the magic flag and looked in the direction of the person who came.

Sure enough, the next moment, a student was seen running towards them from a distance with a panicked look on his face. His speed was so fast that he almost left an afterimage. The spiritual energy around him was even more turbulent than the three of them, and he was actually in the Nascent Soul stage.

The three of them panicked and were about to defend themselves, but they saw the other party running past them without even looking at them, as if they hadn't seen them at all. How decisive.

"..."

what's the situation?
The three of them were stunned. Aren’t they here to grab the French flag?

Before they could react, they sensed more figures coming towards them. Each of them looked like they were being chased by a ghost. The figures flashed in the forest, looking as if they wished they could grow four legs.

The three of them looked at each other and realized that there was danger.

"Run!" Zhen Yi said, and the three of them turned around and ran towards the direction where the student had just disappeared.

Although I don’t know what happened, it must be something bad, so I just run away.

Sure enough, various screams and exclamations were soon heard from behind.

"Run! The teachers are all crazy!" "Wait, teacher...don't!"

"Master Li, I am your close student, I...ah!"

"Ahhhh, I want to switch to another profession!"

Waves of different cries were heard, but they disappeared in an instant. Zhen Yi and the other two finally realized who was chasing them. It was the Master. No wonder everyone was running so fast, as if they had seen a ghost.

They hadn't expected that after two days of wandering around the forest, searching for the flag without encountering the Master, he would now be chasing them. Without further delay, the three of them chose a direction and began running for their lives.

They ran for a full two hours, until most of their spiritual energy was exhausted and the screams behind them could no longer be heard. Zhen Yi stopped and gasped for breath. Looking sideways, he found that there were not only the three of them, but also several unfamiliar fellow disciples, who were bent over, supporting their legs and panting, all of them looking like they had survived a disaster.

"Not bad, brother! You have learned the art of speed." A Yuanying student smiled at Zhen Yi and greeted him. He was the first person who ran past them.

"Thanks, brother. We were able to escape in time." Zhen Yi smiled back, his social bull nature coming to the fore, and he immediately started chatting. "What happened just now? Why did everyone escape so miserably?"

"Masters!" The other party shuddered and said with a look of fear, "I don't know what happened, but the masters suddenly started hunting us everywhere. Two of my teammates were caught and sent out of the secret realm."

"Didn't the teachers chase anyone before?" He was stunned.

"No, we haven't seen the Master before except at the entrance, and they didn't chase us." The man also looked confused.

Zhen Yi frowned and asked again, "Brother, do you know which master was chasing us just now? How many were there?"

"I'm not sure about that. I was just running and didn't dare to look back. But even if there was only one of them, we couldn't withstand it." The man said with a look of fear.

"I, I saw it!" Another student nearby suddenly spoke up, rubbing his swollen face. "There's Master Li from our Formation Pavilion in there. I was almost stunned by his second-order Lingfeng Formation. Look at my big face, and he's been targeting the formation cultivators, and he said he only knew us because we looked familiar. That's too much!"

"I saw our Weapon Pavilion's teacher, too," another person said, looking ready to cry. "We just learned the Fire Darts a few days ago, and today he started throwing them at us. Both of my teammates were knocked out of the secret realm."

"And me!" Another student said angrily, "I also saw the teacher from the Magic Pavilion. He was clearly using third-level magic, but why did his blows hurt so much? I almost got my badge shattered and was eliminated."

众人你一言我一语的开始吐槽自己夫子，谁能想到前几天还和善可爱的师长，今天就把他们揍成猪头了呢。

After hearing this, Zhen Yi changed his previous smooth-talking attitude and fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong?" Feng Ting couldn't help but ask when she saw this.

"I have a guess..." Zhen Yi said slowly, "but I can't be sure right now. I need to find a chance to confirm it."

"How do I confirm this?"

"It's very simple." Zhen Yi glanced at the two of them, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "How about...we go catch a teacher first?"

Feng Ting: “…”

Social fear scene: "..."

What are you thinking about eating!
