Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy

Su Chen nodded, then said, "Let's go back, it's getting late."

"Hmm~" The two of them harbored their own thoughts as they navigated the bustling streets of Nadas City. But as they were only thirty or forty meters away from the inn, Su Chen suddenly felt a chilling aura tracking him and Du Ziteng. He turned back to look, but its owner swiftly hid amidst the crowd!

"Du Ziteng, someone is following us, hurry!"

Su Chen's voice was low.

Du Ziteng was startled, frowning slightly, "Why didn't I notice anyone tailing us?"

Without further explanation, Su Chen grabbed him and ran towards the inn. Yet the street was so crowded that they hadn't run more than ten meters when that chilling aura rapidly closed in, bringing an overpowering sense of oppression!

"Ah!"

Someone in the crowd cried out in alarm! Then everyone scattered in all directions!

"Move aside quickly!"

With a shout, Su Chen pushed Du Ziteng, who had turned pale, aside, but he himself got knocked over by the shadowy figure, flipping several times mid-air before crashing to the ground!

Du Ziteng turned to look at the figure completely cloaked in black, gritted his teeth, and sprinted towards a less crowded direction to the left!

Suppressing the sweet sensation in his throat, Su Chen watched in shock as Du Ziteng ran, exclaiming, "Run towards the inn, don't go that way!"

However, Du Ziteng seemed not to hear him, dashing furiously towards the less crowded direction, and vanished quickly into the vast sea of people. Su Chen hurriedly got up and chased after him...

"Damn it, why is he running that way!"

Su Chen cursed internally upon realizing Du Ziteng was heading towards the most secluded street in Nadas City. Here, pedestrians were scarce and the numerous alley corners made it easy to lose direction.

Gritting his teeth, he activated the Beast's Qi Energy within, causing gusts of wind to appear beneath his feet, propelling him forward rapidly. Each step covered nearly four or five meters. Despite this, astonishingly, he found himself unable to catch up with the shadowy figure and Du Ziteng, and the distance was increasing.

When did Du Ziteng start running so fast? Has he been hiding his strength all along?

Suddenly!

The shadowy figure accelerated again, causing the nighttime air to whistle eerily, and the robes emitted a chilling howl. With a few swift leaps and bounds against the wall, he blocked the path of Du Ziteng, who was now pale-faced!

Du Ziteng looked at the dark alley ahead, the high and cold walls surrounding him, and then at Su Chen rushing from behind. A glint flashed in his eyes as he suddenly drew out the parchment from his arms!

With a cold smile at his lips, he said icily, "Isn't it this you want? Take it!"

With that, he summoned all his strength and hurled the rolled parchment! The parchment was enveloped in a black glow, shooting toward Su Chen like an arrow!

Su Chen's facial expression changed, his palms emitting a bluish-green wave that caught the parchment firmly!

The shadowy figure turned to look at Su Chen, but Du Ziteng took advantage of the moment to swiftly scale a high wall and disappeared from both of their sight.

"Du Ziteng!"

Su Chen shouted anxiously, but the chilling shadow slowly approached him. The broad black robe unfolded to reveal an extremely horrifying figure inside!

Beneath the robe was a bizarre, skeletal frame, with twisted, ferocious features hardly resembling a human, especially those hollow eye sockets without eyeballs. The elongated limbs had transparent, fin-like structures at the joints, and an evil dark aura clung to his body incessantly.

"Ha..."

The strange figure twisted its neck, exhaled a breath of foul air, then lifted its head in enjoyment, gulping the chill of the night. Su Chen shivered involuntarily, stepping back several steps.

"Who are you?"

He tried to sound tough despite his cowardice.

"Leave the item, or else... I will kill you..."

The figure's voice was hoarse and cold, like a ghost clawed its way out of the Nine Nether Hell, filled with a moist and sinister aura.

Yet this threat only stirred Su Chen's desire to fight; he hated being coerced, and hated being overlooked even more!

"Really? If you have the skill, come and take it, I'll be right here waiting!"

He sneered.

The figure let out a low roar to the sky, rampant fury surged, and an icy aura arose fiercely, crashing towards Su Chen like tidal waves!

Startled, Su Chen quickly summoned a protective shield of wind energy over his body, then swiftly drew the blood-red sword from his back, tearing toward the figure at an angle!

"Seeking death!"

The figure roared angrily, its elongated arms spread wide, the fin-like structures suddenly activated, resembling saw teeth!

Two streams of eerie energy shot out, racing ahead of him. Su Chen let out a low shout, leaping high into the air, holding the blood-red sword, with the wind energy condensing around him, propelling his body like a drill downward.

The figure lost his target, exhaled a mouthful of murky filth to the sky, Su Chen snorted angrily, the blood-red sword slicing downward, casting a blood-colored arc across the night!

Buzz!

The arc tore through the filthy air, directly slashing towards the figure's grotesque face!

"Ah~!"

With a roar to the heavens, the figure kicked its feet on the ground, like a frog leaping forward, barely dodging the blood-red sword's attack. Then suddenly spun around, feet once again stamped powerfully on the ground, launching at Su Chen mid-air from behind!
