“Hold on a little longer. There’s about another kilometer before we can reach the ruins you mentioned!”
Zhang Xu turned his head and smiled at the students who were sweating profusely.
Hearing the teacher’s words, the students were stunned at first, but then their faces were filled with joy.
“Teacher, did you want to take us there from the beginning?”
“I knew it. In the past, we were all killing demonic beasts. Why are we climbing mountains this year?”
“Can’t we find a better way to go?”
The last person spoke in a very soft voice.
Nonetheless, he did not expect Zhang Xu to hear his complaints.
“Don’t underestimate mountain climbing. It can train your temperament. Don’t you see that there’s a long staircase in front of those ancient martial arts sects?”
Zhang Xu said confidently. Although the students were puzzled, they did not refute him.
Everyone rested tor a wnlle.
Just as they got up and were about to continue on their way, the mountain ridge behind him exploded into a cloud of dust.
Countless birds scattered in all directions.
Then, the surrounding vegetation shook violently.
The ground beneath their feet was trembling.
The four students cried out in surprise. Seeing this, Zhang Xu quickly came to the students’ side and guarded them carefully. “Teacher, is there an earthquake? I’m so scared!” A girl tugged at Zhang Xu’s sleeve timidly.
“I don’t think so!”
Zhang Xu’s expression was solemn as he looked in the direction of the explosion.
He made a rough estimate.
It was at least ten kilometers away.
What had happened to cause such a huge commotion?
“It was only once!” Someone exclaimed in joy.
Zhang Xu heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s not an earthquake. It should be a survey team blowing up the mountain!”
Hearing the teacher’s words, the students could not help but start complaining. “What kind of people are they? Why didn’t they check if there was anyone here in advance?”
“They’re too irresponsible. Fortunately, we’re far away. If they injure us, wouldn’t we have no place to reason?”
“I was scared to death. The tree beside me was directly broken by the shock!” “What kind of explosives can cause such a huge amount of power?”
The students all vented their dissatisfaction.
Only Zhang Xu remained silent.
He, who was knowledgeable, did not think that the explosives used to blow up the mountain could cause such a huge commotion.
“The training this time is temporarily canceled. Let’s speed up and leave this place.”
Zhang Xu called out.
He did not dare to bet on the students’ safety.
Leaving this place was the best choice.
At this moment, a young man in casual clothes walked over from the foot of the mountain.
The young man was extremely fast.
Even if it was a steep rock wall, he still felt as if he was walking on flat ground.
Zhang Xu and the students looked up. “He’s too handsome!”
One of the girls’ eyes sparkled.
In just a few breaths, the young man disappeared completely.
“I’m afraid that even martial artists can’t do it as easily as him!” Someone sighed.
Zhang Xu nodded. “He should be in the Martial Master Realm. Look at him. He doesn’t seem much older than you. Work hard!”
The students seemed to have been provoked by their peer.
This time, the group moved very quickly.
Nevertheless, what they saw next was unforgettable.
Not far away from them, a huge pit with a diameter of more than 100 meters and a depth of more than ten meters appeared in front of them.
Hundreds of meters around the huge pit was a mess.
The students walked forward and stood at the edge of the huge pit to look
uown.
At the bottom of the pit, a huge rock the size of a house shattered into powder. “Teacher, are you sure we’re not going in the wrong direction?”
“Yeah, didn’t they say that the ruins are on the top of the mountain? What’s this?”
Zhang Xu did not answer.
He jumped down, grabbed a handful of soil, and sniffed it.
There was no smell of gunpowder, nor was there any residual spiritual power fluctuation.
Were the stone fragments beneath his feet from a meteorite?
However, he had not seen any meteorites fall!
If it was not a meteorite, then there was only one explanation for the scene in front of him.
Grandmasters had fought here before.
The more Zhang Xu thought about it, the more excited he became.
At the same time, a strong sense of loss rose in his heart.
At such a close distance, he missed the scene of a Grandmaster making a move.
Rumble…
At this moment, the sound of a propeller turning came from the sky.
The helicopter landed slowly.
A few City Defense Army soldiers came down from the plane.
After checking the documents, the captain of the City Defense Army asked,
“Hello, Teacher Zhang. Did you guys just arrive here?”
Zhang Xu nodded and pointed at the huge pit. “Have Grandmasters fought here before?”
The captain shook his head.
“We don’t know the exact situation either. We only detected the fluctuation of Grandmaster-level strength here…
“After checking the surveillance cameras, we found that other than you, there was also a young man in casual clothes who came here.
“Well, Grandmasters are usually elusive.”
The captain looked a little disappointed.
Obviously, he felt regretful that he could not meet a Grandmaster.
That said, when Zhang Xu heard about the young man in casual clothes, his expression changed.
‘Could it be him?
‘Although Grandmasters come and go without a trace, if he wanted to leave this place quickly, he would probably leave behind traces!’
Zhang Xu shook his head and shook off the crazy thought in his mind.
“Teacher, was this caused by a Grandmaster?” A few students walked forward curiously.
Their eyes were full of awe.
“It should be.”
Then, the City Defense Army took pictures of the huge pit.
After expressing their regret again, they returned to the helicopter and left.
The person who caused such a huge commotion was Lin Bai, who had come here to test his strength.
After arriving here, he directly found a huge rock.
Although he had a rough estimate of his strength, he still underestimated his miraculous right leg.
The moment he jumped up and stomped down heavily, he realized how terrifying the divine body was.
Not only did the boulder under his feet sink into the soil, but it also blasted a terrifying deep pit into the surrounding ground.
Lin Bai thought to himself that this was not good and quickly rushed in the direction of the forest.
After all, this was still within the city.
With such a huge commotion, the City Defense Army would definitely come to investigate.
In order not to expose his strength, he could only flee far away and find a new place to test his strength.
As for the teachers and students of Shanghai First High School, Lin Bai did not notice them.
Anyway, he was so young.
Even if those people saw the huge pit.
Presumably, they would not associate it with him.
He ran for half an hour.
Lin Bai finally stopped in the jungle 300 kilometers away from the base city of Shanghai.
“I should be able to use my full strength this time!”
Driven by his thought, golden spiritual power instantly wrapped around his body.
His soaring aura made him look like a god that had descended into the world.
Rumble…
The entire forest became noisy at this moment.
A series of loud bangs resounded in the depths of the forest.
In the forest, no matter how strong they were, almost all the demonic beasts fled.
To his heart’s content, Lin Bai even summoned the Super Metal Mimetic Alloy and used his strongest attack..
