The Girls Are All Coveting Me

The crisis was fully loaded, but keeping the students' lives intact is not easy.

Less crisis meant inadequate digestion of extraordinary traits.

More crisis meant casualties.

Deliver just the right amount of crisis, letting them hover between life and death yet cling onto survival, at the most opportune moment to digest the extraordinary traits—this is no easy task.

In essence, it's like grasping the control of heat and seasoning while cooking.

Everyone knows, but very few can make a delicious meal.

If cooking was that easy, everyone could be a top chef.

Furthermore, April was surprised to find that the strongest among these students were gradually reducing their support.

"Are you letting them adapt to higher intensity battles?"

April furrowed her brow.

She sensed something amiss.

It felt as if Chloe and the others planned to ditch these students.

Otherwise, it's hard to explain why they are so eager to make these younglings accustomed to combat.

Moreover, somewhere along the line, the strongest individuals in the student group started separating out, no longer participating in frontline battles.

She took a glance.

Not to mention Chloe and Lilith as commanders.

Third-year Miseria.

Second-year Fu·Icarus.

First-year Rephya, Fratiss, Aisha.

Of course, Abigail's behavior was even more excessive.

This little girl has been by Chloe's side from start to finish, never having participated in battles.

The students, in high-intensity battles, failed to notice when Chloe and others started leading new maze monsters from another direction, specially training those talents separated from the student group.

Focusing merely on the current situation had already drained most of their strength.

As another ground dragon fell thunderously, a new round of rotation was about to begin.

At this moment, those roaring demons suddenly stopped, their alert eyes turning in another direction.

The students, whose weapons were nearly blunted, took a step back and aimed their gaze towards the depths of the cave.

They vaguely sensed some dangerous presence rapidly approaching.

Even the demons, with their keen senses, began to panic.

"Damn, wouldn't we be so unlucky to encounter the Void Erosion Sect's lunatics?"

"Impossible, they are clearly targeting the Princess Swordswoman, what's the point in messing with us for no reason?"

"What if?"

"What if? Haha, if they provoke me, it's like they are provoking a lump of cotton."

The students still had the mind to joke.

Currently present, even the weakest among them had broken through to Sequence 8.

They were riding high on the wave, with fear slightly suppressed by youthful recklessness.

But the footsteps from the darkness grew clearer.

Suddenly, a flattened dragon's head was flung in front of the maze monsters, an exceptionally stern female face appearing in the shadows.

"Found you."

"Eh?" The surprise came from Fat Daniel, "Master Heisha, why are you here?"

The newcomer was none other than the Support Academy's Gui Jianchou, Chloe's mentor Heisha.

At this moment, she was surrounded by semitransparent heat, calmly walking over and saying:

"Handled things over here?"

"Yes, the rest will be up to you, Master Heisha."

Heisha nodded.

The next moment, a crimson glow flashed in the somewhat dim cave.

The students couldn't help but shield themselves from the light.

Putting their hands down, they found the maze monsters had vanished completely.

Chloe clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention.

"Perhaps some have already noticed, since 10 days ago, we've been minimizing support as much as possible.

Because henceforth, mazes below the 20th level are no longer suitable for deeper exploration.

With some elites accompanying us to deeper levels, from now on we need you to establish temporary safe zones on the 20th level.

Of course, students worried that not continuing to delve deeper would affect semester evaluations, need not fret.

Having come this far, any teacher will acknowledge your achievements.

Be proud, you are no longer the worst batch in a teacher's view."

Returning to their senses, faces naturally broke into joyful smiles.

While Heisha stepped forward to say:

"Apart from Master Nini, who will continue following the vanguard team deeper, Professor Lan and I will stay on the 20th level to supervise you in establishing temporary safe zones.

This is a valuable experience for you; every team delving into the maze needs logistical personnel to build the intermediary channel for the frontline.

Watch closely, learn well, maintain the temporary safe zone's operation; once mastered, no matter where in the world you go, someone will want you."

Only April pointed at herself, bewildered.

What's happening.

I still wanted to continue monitoring the younglings, why am I left here now?

Teresa looked at Chloe with deep meaning.

Teresa was already aware of Chloe and the team's plans to delve deeper.

Just didn't expect, that rascal had even summoned her aunt.

With her aunt backing things up here, the already forged [Steel] needn't worry about safety issues.

Thus.

The Chloe squad and the Association members separated.

A new vanguard team took form.

Captain: Chloe

Vice-Captain: Lilith

Supervisor: Treasure Elf Nini

Other members:

(Grade 1) Rephya, Aisha, Abigail

(Grade 2) Fu·Icarus

(Grade 3) Miseria

The 8-member vanguard team continues to delve into the maze.

The goal is…

At level 23, the maze monster [Wilderness Giant] that produces Extraordinary Traits of sequence 7 from the Titan Path.

At level 24, the maze monster [Steel Mad Rider] that produces Extraordinary Traits of sequence 7 from the Iron Blood Path.

At level 25, the maze monster [Giant Blade Ghost Dragon] that produces Extraordinary Traits of sequence 7 from the Soldier Lord Path.

Rephya, Fratiss, and Aisha need to consume the Extraordinary Traits required for promotion to sequence 7 during this period and then quickly digest them to usher in sequence 7.

However, upon entering level 21, Rephya suddenly had a question.

"Don't we need to prepare the Extraordinary Traits for Abigail's promotion?"

Abigail, who had always been inconspicuous, blushed and instinctively lowered her head.

Chloe coughed and turned her head:

"Abigail has other promotion rules, she doesn't need to go down this path."

Rephya was half-convinced.

After emerging from the historical echo, she has learned of Abigail's identity.

But she couldn't think of a method that allows direct promotion without acquiring future traits.

After all, through information reincarnation, the original Life Sequence has already returned to dust and ashes with the past.

Having past experiences only helps them break through more easily, rather than directly obtaining power.

Forget it, can't understand it, just don't think about it.

Only Rephya didn't see, small Abigail, troubledly rubbing her earlobe, eyes looking at Chloe, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

Chloe coughed, and a thought echoed in her mind:

"After collecting all materials on level 25, I'll help you."

"Mm, then brother you have to be quick, without your Life Purification infusion, this body can't exert much strength."

"Okay."

Indeed.

Abigail's body actually has some issues.

According to her, ordinary practice is of no use to her.

Because this body is not her true form, but a life body condensed from the essence of the World Tree.

The essence of the World Tree is very high, hence this body inherently possesses the potential to break through to Angel King.

However… to awaken the power of this body is not through practice.

[So, is Annie over there playing games this wildly now?]

Chloe couldn't help but make a powerless complaint.

The trunk of the World Tree was greatly affected to accommodate the power of the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch.

Though the polluted power has been successfully extracted now, it also led to the deep fusion of the World Tree itself and the Filthy Sun's power.

To unlock the power on Abigail, not only do Abigail and Annie need to consent.

But Chloe's permission is also required.

Uh, as for how to give permission… that would be to reenact the moment of deep fusion between the World Tree and the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch to activate this Angel Body.

There are many methods, but the simplest is to go at it wildly.

But the more sensational move is here.

Now Chloe is sequence six, after being wholly saturated, Abigail's strength will rise to sequence six.

Yes.

Not directly transform into Angel Body.

Because Chloe herself doesn't have this part of the power now, couldn't completely unlock this permission.

So, Chloe needs to inject new genetic codes each time he is promoted.

To this, Chloe expressed it was too absurd.

With Abigail's means, how could she not release a genuine angel?

When this matters were raised, Abigail's expressions were somewhat subtle.

She indicated that she could indeed directly release genuine angels.

But that kind of angel, after all, isn't Abigail's true form.

According to her, Annie vetoed this plan with [this isn't your true body, it's ox-like] as the reason.

[Then what's the problem with Annie over there anyway?]

Chloe wasn't a fool.

His appearance hadn't changed since then with Annie, on principle, she shouldn't have failed to recognize him.

But the fact was, Annie seemed to spend quite some time confirming his situation.

Along with various previous signs, Chloe could basically ascertain, some considerable issue has occurred over there with Annie.

This wasn't Chloe's first time querying Abigail's situation.

But Abigail suggested if he truly wanted to know, directly asking Annie would be best.

However, perhaps seeing Chloe was a bit agitated, Abigail's expression softened somewhat, revealing a hint:

"Someone has added to the ingredients in your power, she's not very conscious right now, you have to hurry, otherwise her condition will further deteriorate."

"Okay."

Chloe remained silent for a long time.

He recalls a previous incident.

That's when Annie, who had never cared about the situation of earthly believers, lent the power of the Desire Mother Tree to others.

The explanation he got from Abigail then was: "Because those believers held part of your power."

Chloe also had some headaches.

During the battle on the Shadow Plane, he had his arm severed.

And that arm became [Saint's Right Wrist], and became the holy artifact for worshippers praying for the Desire Mother Tree's power.

"Need to find a chance to deal with it."
