Chapter 301 - 8.28 First Blue Star - Escape
Qu Yul: {Dage. We are here. Head to the center and lower your heads!}
The voice of Qu Yul was heard in their change and everyone heard what he had said. It only took a split second for the three sentinels in the group to jump towards their other teammates and push down their heads and cover theirs at the same time. In the next moment, sounds of explosions in their surroundings could be heard.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Grenade blasts can be seen in all directions in Qu Yeon and his team area. In the midst of the explosion, Feng Wu, Qu Yul, and Wu Liu went to the other team and helped them carry the injuries.
Feng Wu started issuing orders, "Yul and your brother cover our escape."
The Qu brother responded at the same time, "Go!"
GRROWL~
ARRG~
HOWL~
Feng Wu carried the two unconscious students while Wu Liu and Tang Si helped the injured twins. He leads the team to the safest route back to the campsite. They didn't fight with the wolves as the number of the pack increased at each howl the injured or dead wolf did. They could only run away as soon as they broke through the encirclement. Once the team had lost the wolf pack, they rested somewhere quiet and safe.
As soon as they felt that the area was safe. They decided to rest and start treating the injured ones. The Qu brothers rested at the sidelines guarding the whole team. Wu Liu, Feng Wu, and Tang Si started giving those who are injured with first aid. Among them, the ones with slightly heavy injuries were the twins. Their bones at the arm and leg were almost chewed out, if not because of their high pain tolerance, they would have fainted already.
Feng Wu gave the twin a healing concoction, one with regeneration ability at the highest purity level. Just by drinking it, their wound should heal immediately, these are concoctions Feng Jing gave the team for emergency purposes.
Tang Yi said who stares at the white potion given to him by Feng Wu. Even he as a commoner knew what kind of potion he had just received.
"T-This is...! A High-level Healing Potion with 100 purity!!?" exclaimed Tang Yi in shock.
Tang San's reactions aren't that much different from his twin's, "S-Shit! Isn't this a million prized concoction!!?"
Feng Wu frowned for a bit which made Tang Si know what he was thinking and immediately forced his twin elder brothers to drink the healing potion.
UGH! Gulps~ Gulps~ Gulps~
Then everyone watches as all of the twin's injuries disappear at a very fast rate under someone's naked eye. The clawed skin showing flesh had closed up like the injuries were never there in the first place except for the slight pale complexion due to the loss of the blood the twins were no longer in danger.
"Drink this next. It's a Blood Coagulation Concoction. It will help replenish your blood." said Feng Wu as he passed a red potion to the twins.
The twins drank the red potion without question. Afterward, Tang Yi and Tang San looked at each other before moving their eyes at Feng Wu. They knew who Feng Wu is. He is the aide of the youngest phoenix of the Feng Clan, Feng Jing. Knowing that he is someone who serves Feng Jing, the twin had trusted him quite a lot.
After all, Feng Jing is the only noble in the First Military Academy who never cared about someone's standing. Regardless of whether you are a noble or a commoner if he likes them good but if he hates you then we can say condolences.
Isn't Navi Nash's ending a great example of someone Lord Jing hates? Now that noble-born son ended up becoming an idiot for angering Feng Jing. They've learned that the fool had once again tried to molest Lord Jing's friend and even tried to harm Feng Jing. Thankfully, Lord Jing's fiance is with them at that time and protects his lover from Navi Nash.
Rumors say that Lord Jing's lover is extremely strong. His spiritual rank is high enough to allow him to be able to touch another worldly creature like the quantum beast. It was well-known that only peak rank SS Sentinels and Guides are able to control their spiritual energy at a certain level which allowed them to enter the same dimensional space as the quantum beast. This allows them to be able to touch a quantum beast which is impossible to those who only have the potential of S and below.
Feng Wu walks away from the twins seeing that their state has stabilized. He checked the ordinary people who fainted due to pain. Wu Liu had poured some potions directly into the mouth of the fainted students and forced the concoction to enter their bodies to take effect. Now all their wounds had closed and their breathing had stabilized as well.
Wu Liu asked, "Why are Lou-ge and Wen-ge aren't waking up?"
"They were hit directly by a guide's spiritual attack. I need to help them wake up directly in their soul. Don't worry, Xiao Liu." said Tang Si.
He was about to place his hands on the heads of the Shi brother only for Feng Wu to stop him.
Feng Wu was shaking his head which meant for Tang Si to stop what he planned to do.
"Why?" asked Tang Si.
"If you use your spirit energy at your current state you would fall into a coma. You've already overused it to the extent you can barely keep yourself awake." Feng Wu covered Tang Si's eyes and said, "Sleep. Leave the rest to me." said Feng Wu.
As soon as Feng Wu said those words, Tang Si finally fainted. He passed the sleeping person to Wu Liu who was beside him.
Feng Wu says, "Let him sleep. He will recover with a long rest."
Wu Liu nodded his head and didn't notice the Qu brothers appearing behind him. Qu Yeon took over the job of looking after his guide from Wu Liu while Qu Yul went to them waiting for Feng Wu's orders. No matter what the situation is right now. Feng Wu is still the leader of their team.
He said, "Please leave him to me." Qu Yeon gently carried his guide in his arms.
"Okay. Don't worry, dage. Si-ge would be fine." said Wu Liu.
Qu Yeon smiled and nodded at his future younger brother-in-law of his. Then he looked at Feng Wu and didn't even glance at him.
Feng Wu says, "Please wait for a moment. Let me check on these two for a while."
"Go ahead," said Qu Yeon as he waited in the side for Feng Wu to finish what he was doing.
After talking with his little brother just now, he learned that the leader of their team of three is not Qu Yul but instead a guide like Feng Wu. When he learned that their group had split into three, Qu Yeon was surprised by this risky plan. He wanted to ask his brother who is the real leader of their whole team but for some reason, he is not answering. But he could more or less guess who is the leader of his younger brother's team, with Feng Wu here, the probability of that person leading is higher.
Qu Yul who sat beside his big brother and his partner started a conversation about the former team's current situation.
"Dage, what happened to you guys and why did you get surrounded by wolves?" asked Qu Yul.
When he asked this question not only Qu Yeon but every one from his team that was still awake had frowned with an ugly expression on his face. They knew that if it wasn't for Qu Yul and his team bumping on them, they would have died in that forest. The twins were in rage after remembering what just happened.
Tang Yi shouted, "It was that bastard noble son from the Sidra Clan. They've signed an alliance with us and dared to use us as decoys to escape the wolf pack!"
"That jerk and his team is the reason why A'Wen and A'Lou are in that state! They attacked them at a blind point ignoring the laws of the Oberion Empire that an awakened person is not allowed to use his quantum beast to attack an ordinary person," said Tang Yi.
Qu Yul spoke, "We thought that the Sidra Clan is different from the rest of the noble-made teams. They have never been involved with the anti-commoners in the Academy but I guess we thought things were wrong."
Wu Liu spoke, "Why did you ally with the Sidra Clan? They are infamous because they back up the anti groups in the academy the most but they did it in a secretive way to keep their reputation clean."
"Moreover, rumors say that they serve the Navi Clan as well," said Qu Yul.
The Tang twin's faces turned dark upon this truth. If not because the deadline for team submission is impending, they wouldn't forget to investigate the team. Sadly, things had gone worse from the moment they decided to sign an alliance with the Sidra Clan.
Qu Yul had a bitter look on his face and looked at his brother, "This might have happened because of our group. Lord Jing's fiance had turned one of their candidate heirs into a fool for trying to harm Lord Jing so. They might have started targeting our team's family or friends. I'm sorry, dage."
"No. It wasn't your fault nor Lord Jing. This happens because the Navi Clan is being unreasonable as always. They always like bullying commoners. But with how things are going we could only accept disqualification." replied Qu Yeon.
Qu Yul, Tang Yi, and Tang San's faces turned gloomy at this decision. Now that they were removed from their allied team the requirements for the team cannot be met. As the leader of the team, Qu Yul had already received a message from this event's organizers. The content of the message is simple, their team had been officially removed as an alliance to the team lead by student sidra. They were given half a day to search for a new group to ally to or merge with.
Feng Wu spoke, "There is no need for that."
His tone is neutral as always as a professional aide, he is brought up thinking that his first priority is only his master. This is why before they even saved the team of Qu Yeon, Feng Wu had already sent a report to his master, Feng Jing.
"Lord Jing had sent a message. He said to come to meet him. We will bring you back to our campsite." said Feng Wu.
Qu Yeon and the twins were startled by what they heard. They even didn't notice Feng Wu touching his communicator and informing his lord about them. So they thought that Feng Wu had made a decision to save them by telling his Lord. Now that they think about it, the aides of the Feng Clan had always been professional. Regardless of any situation, they would always think of their lord as their topmost priority even above their own lives.
At this moment even Qu Yul was stunned, he had only seen Feng Wu touch his communicator when they were looking at the mapping program. He had never expected that everything had been reported to their leader at that time.
The seniors looked at each other and spoke through their eyes. In the end, they've accepted this unexpected priority and nodded their heads.
"Please show us the way."
With that decision finalized, Feng Wu's hunting team had no other choice but to return to the camp and see their leader. They brought Qu Yeon and his team as they were told to do so.

Meanwhile at their campsite.
Solaris Vega and Feng Jing finally distributed the traps equally into four parts. Now they only need to plant it around the camp for their group safety. Vega had opened his communicator and showed his leader the planned locations for his traps.
"Lead--- I mean... Lord Jing, I will do the work on the north, south, and west side. I have two support mecha to help me with planting. I plan to send them to the north and south while I go to the west side. Please take the east side, Lord Jing." said Solaris Vega while still a bit shy around Feng Jing.
Feng Jing smiled as always and said, "Okay, leave it to me!"
"Please be careful!" said Solaris Vega.
The two had split and temporarily left the camp unattended but they didn't move away from their camp too far. Just a few meters away from it where they would be placing the traps to create a defensive formation around the place they could rest. Feng Jing took the traps designed to be placed in the area he is supposed to go to. Under the surveillance of the cameras from those who were monitoring them from space, Feng Jing acted like an ordinary person without special abilities. Except for his bloodline skills like rebirth and ability to control fire and ice energy, Feng Jing walks languidly while acting, he is a waste with a physique of F level.
By the time he arrived at the east side, Feng Jing was already out of breath and decided to sit down. He looks around and sees that there is no clean rock around him as he is surrounded by weeds and trees. He could only pull a picnic mat from his space button before sitting down while out of breath. Those who didn't know his condition would think that he really is a useless person with the weakest potential.
On the other hand in his mind, he is mentally controlling the subsystem his System Yue had left for him. For a god-level hacker like from the highest realm hacking into the surveillance of all warships he targeted wouldn't be able to know what he is doing. Of course, he only bugged those screens that aren't allied with his family and only their personal perspective on him is affected.
[Host, the monitoring system of the warship under the White Tiger, Black Star, Azure Drake, and Black Turtle had been given edited feeds in accordance to what the host wanted to show them. Only the ship under the Sword and Roses, Fire Phoenix and Fallen Gods receive the real live stream of the host's perspective.]
With this everyone who was restricted to see the real feeds of Feng Jing's perspective received an edited version where they could only see how useless Feng Jing is. Those who aren't can see what Feng Jing is really doing. Of course, this only works when he is alone. If he is together with another person in a frame this restriction will no longer work. Well, he only needs to do something when he is alone anyway. Moreover, other things can be done secretly.
