Translator: 549690339
The Heavy Armored Beast wreaked havoc in the river and returned to the cave on the riverbank to rest and digest after getting its fill.
Withdrawing his consciousness, Jack Clark looked up and saw it was already past five in the afternoon. The orange-red sunset slanted in, casting streaks of light and shadow on the ground.
“It’s this late already.” Jack exclaimed.
Since the Heavy Armored Beast was released, Jack, who was constantly using his consciousness, felt that time passed so quickly that a day was gone in the blink of an eye, and there seemed to be no time to do anything.
At this time, Freya Louise closed her book, looked at the time and whispered, “It’s about time, shall we go back together?”
“Sure.” Jack nodded.
As usual, the two put their books back in place and took the elevator out of the Teaching Building.
On the tree-shaded Pedestrian Walkway within the School, the sunset penetrated through the branches, casting scattered spots of light.
Walking side by side, Freya suddenly asked, “How do you feel after sweeping up so many cultivating ‘geniuses’ today?”
Jack thought for a while: “…Well, those people are actually pretty strong.”
Freya slightly tilted her head, “Why do you say that?”
Jack explained, “Didn’t you notice? Although I suppressed them with absolute strength during the battle, they weren’t in a panic.”
“Even when caught off guard by my sudden burst, their instinctive reactions were very standard, and they didn’t panic after a single defeat.”
“This shows that their will and temperament are very tenacious. As long as they accumulate more combat experience, they will become formidable when their strength improves.”
“You know, I didn’t even notice that.” Freya blinked.
When she thought back to Jack’s battle today, she found that it seemed similar to what he had described, as those people didn’t panic even when faced with Jack’s crushing strength.
At the same time, she also admired Jack for being so sober at this time. Chatting, the two walked out of the School and followed the street… Boom! Suddenly a thunderous sound shook their ears. The sky was still clear, with no dark clouds in sight, but raindrops as big as beans fell densely from the sky. The sudden thundershower caught everyone off guard, and the streets were filled with people running to take cover from the rain. Cars were also hard to come by in half a day.
Especially due to the raging wind, people couldn’t even open their eyes.action
Jack and Freya were also drenched, and the nearest shelter was several tens of meters away down the road.
“We can take shelter from the rain over there.” In the midst of the downpour, Jack hurriedly led Freya to run towards a small park by the roadside with a pavilion, originally a place to escape the summer heat.
By the time they ran into the pavilion, their clothes were soaked. Jack was fine; he wiped his face and shook off the water droplets from his hair.
However, Freya was a bit disheveled, her long hair wet and draped over her back, entwined with the white butterfly ribbon, revealing her clean and beautiful face.
Her trousers were also tightly wrapped around her body due to the dampness, revealing her well-proportioned and slender legs.
“Stop staring!” Freya blushed slightly, as she hid from Jack’s gaze.
Jack retracted his appreciative gaze, smiled and said, “It’s not my fault. Who told you to be so beautiful and have such a good figure.”
He didn’t show a hint of the embarrassment a youth should have on his face, and his candid demeanor made Freya feel less shy and tense.
Jack casually asked, “I wonder how long this rain will last.”
Freya was indeed distracted and looked up, thinking, “This kind of thundershower usually doesn’t last long. It might stop in half an hour.” Summer thundershowers are always like this, sudden and unpredictable. Sometimes the sky is as clear as it can be, and the next moment it’s covered in dark clouds.
Sometimes, even when the sun is shining brightly, heavy rain suddenly pours down, catching people off guard.
As Freya predicted, the rain began to lighten after about ten minutes, turning into a lighter drizzle, which lasted less than half an hour.
As the strong wind died down and the heavy rain stopped, puddles were everywhere on the streets, and leaves were scattered on the ground. Illuminated by the remaining glow of the setting sun, everything looked hauntingly beautiful after the devastation.
Looking up at the sun that hadn’t set yet, Jack shook his head helplessly, “What a weird weather.”
As he said this, he began to unbutton his clothes, startling Freya, who immediately took a few steps back and asked warily, “What are you doing, Jack!?”
Jaked replied in annoyance, “What do you think? Do you think you can walk back like this?”
At this point, Jack had already removed his shirt, revealing his strong upper body. The eight clearly visible abdominal muscles exuded a masculine aura.
For the two who practiced True Martial Arts, getting soaked didn’t matter, as they wouldn’t catch a cold.
“Stop staring and put this on to cover yourself.” This time it was Jack’s turn to say.
Freya averted her gaze, somewhat embarrassed, and put on Jack’s wet shirt.
On the way back, passers-by cast strange looks at Jack, who was walking shirtless, revealing his well-toned body.
Especially the women; the younger ones would be embarrassed, but the married women would continue to stare with scorching eyes.
When they reached the intersection where they parted ways to go home, Freya said somewhat shyly, “I’ll wash and return your shirt tomorrow.”
“Alright.” Jack nodded.
When he returned home, Glenn Clark asked about Jack not wearing a shirt and then was casually dismissed by Jack.
After dinner, Jack practiced Dragon Elephant Power and Mind’s Eye Bright Knife before taking a bath. He lay in bed, let his consciousness sink in and arrived at the Heavy Armored Beast’s side.
It was already eleven o’clock at night, and he planned to eat his fill before resting.
However, just as Jack’s consciousness controlled the Heavy Armored Beast and was about to crawl out of the cave and into the river, he suddenly heard the sound of explosions and roaring coming from the rear.
The water surface was rippling from the tremors.
The sudden change made the Heavy Armored Beast pause as it slightly poked its head out of the water.
He saw over a hundred meters away on the riverside slope, more than ten figures were chasing each other at breakneck speed. In the blink of an eye, they appeared close by.
At the same time, a few Armored Cars were following closely behind, with the high-wattage searchlights on the cars illuminating a large area in front of them like daylight.
At this moment, a man in the chase leaped up high like a Roc and slapped it out with his palm.
Boom!
In an instant, the air exploded, and the violent force, like a tangible raging wind, blew away the turf in the range of tens of meters, creating a terrifying and intimidating scene.
Facing this strike, the two people in the front had to turn around and fight back. Glowing red blood shadows appeared around them, forming two transparent blood pythons as thick as water barrels, blocking their path.
Boom! Boom!
Under the force of the Overbearing slap, the two blood pythons shattered, and the Red Impact swept across the range of more than ten meters, resulting in trembling ground and flying dust and gravel.
And because of this retaliatory slap, the figures behind swiftly surrounded the two in all directions..
