A group of people were gradually leaving the Secret Realm, while Ye Bai frowned and looked at his watch.
There were still fifteen minutes until five in the afternoon.
The intelligence system said Li Weiyang would be shot. Where is the assassin?
However, from the intelligence provided by the system, it seemed that Li Weiyang would be seriously injured. This meant the attack was too sudden, and those protecting her didn't have time to react or hadn't arrived yet.
During the awakening, the school's electromagnetic wave shield was already activated, and then Zhang Lingxue hurriedly led her classmates into the Secret Realm. Her Light Goddess Butterfly had been detecting eerie fluctuations.
Li Weiyang, who had awakened an A-level talent, would definitely be heavily protected and logically should be very safe.
It seems there is an organization purposefully hunting down humans who have awakened rare talents.
There must be spies from other countries among the high ranks of the Flame Country Alliance, otherwise how would such confidential information be known by these people.
Everyone on Blue Star has different awakened talents, but the Eye of Insight talent is among the top.
Although the Flame Country Alliance for everyone's consideration, simply divided talents into S, A, B, C, and D levels for easier distinction.
But in the Beautiful Country Alliance, the Eye of Insight is marked as a strategic-level talent, a talent capable of impacting national destiny.
The homeroom teacher had already reported Li Weiyang's talent; one could say that awakening the Eye of Insight talent meant Li Weiyang had already reached the finish line, stepping into the top academy's doors.
Once they left the Secret Realm, Li Weiyang would be surrounded and protected by people dispatched from the Flame Country.
No one would expect someone to attack at the moment Li Weiyang walked out of the Secret Realm.
So if one wanted to obtain Li Weiyang's blood, this would be the only chance.
As for the bet Ye Bai mentioned, Li Weiyang probably wouldn't care.
After all, soon she would be taken away by people sent by the top academies.
So Ye Bai is indeed managing to get something for nothing, using a false promise to exchange for He Qingyuan's 'real money.'
Li Weiyang and Ye Bai walked out of the Secret Realm one after the other, with the homeroom teacher being a step late because he needed to verify the number of pet beasts with the Secret Realm's manager.
At this time, there was only one minute left until five o'clock, and Ye Bai looked around with a vigilant face.
For the moment, nothing unusual was found, and he secretly wiped sweat from his palms, exhaling deeply.
Meanwhile, in a high-rise building one thousand meters away from the Secret Realm, a blue-haired beauty took the elevator to the top floor.
She used her hairpin to pry open the building's wire mesh, entered the rooftop and searched for a suitable spot with her beautiful eyes.
There were still thirty seconds until five o'clock at this point.
"Great, the timing is just about right."
"Come out, Bullet Ant."
A slender, fiery red ant was summoned by the beauty.
Its body was very long, like a stick, and its sharp eyes glinted like knives, equipped with eight long legs for support.
The Bullet Ant's abdomen was large, resembling that of a pregnant one, housing a huge ant nest inside.
Its wings were as thin as cicada wings.
Measuring 1.5 meters in length, it resembled a heavy sniper in appearance.
The Bullet Ant is a rare pet beast, capable of expelling Drilling Armor Ants and Blast Ants from its mouth as thick as a thumb.
The Drilling Armor Ant can pierce through prey's body like a bullet, while the Blast Ant explodes upon hitting the target.
However, breeding Drilling Armor Ants is easier for Bullet Ants, while Blast Ants take longer to breed.
The beauty took out an eight-time-telescope and looked toward the direction of the Secret Realm's exit.
Li Weiyang was coming out of the Secret Realm at this moment, followed closely by a handsome young man who seemed to be her classmate.
The two were quite close to each other.
"That's almost it, Bullet Ant, start attacking now."
"For a newly awakened little underling, using Drilling Armor Ants will suffice, don't waste the precious Blast Ants."
Blue light flashed across the beauty's eyes as she shared her vision with the Bullet Ant through a contract.
Then the Bullet Ant suddenly spat out a bullet (Drilling Armor Ant), an air-piercing sound echoed.
A fiery red light flashed past.
Cracks appeared on the ground where the Bullet Ant stood, while a wisp of white smoke emerged from its mouth corner.
The beauty looked at Li Weiyang's face with pity: "What a graceful beauty, yet her jade body will perish like this."
"Don't blame me, blame it on your awakening of such rare talent."
"And blame the fact that you were born in the Flame Country Alliance."
"We must eliminate every critical factor that can increase Flame Country Alliance's national strength."
"This is our assassins' mission, sorry!"
Just a few seconds remained until five o'clock.
Ye Bai immediately noticed a fiery red light appearing suddenly in the distance. After awakening his talent, Ye Bai not only had enhanced memory but also heightened five senses.
Li Weiyang casually continued to walk forward, completely unaware of the approaching danger.
With his awakened unforgettable talent, Ye Bai possessed strong mental calculation ability, allowing him to estimate the bullet's landing position by assessing wind speed and bullet trajectory.
As the fiery red light was about to blow Li Weiyang's head off.
"Watch out!!!"
Ye Bai pushed forward following the momentum, prompting Li Weiyang to dive ahead, causing the Drilling Armor Ant to veer off course and pierce Li Weiyang's shoulder blade, scraping Ye Bai's arm.
Blood dripped from his arm onto the Ancient Jade, which emitted a faint glow.
A large amount of blood gushed from Li Weiyang's wound like a spring, splashing onto Ye Bai.
When Ye Bai wasn't paying attention, the Ancient Jade hanging from his chest moved slightly after it came into contact with Li Weiyang's blood, and a large volume of blood flowed into the jade.
Then the jade abruptly transformed into a stream of light and merged into Ye Bai's chest.
He felt a faint stabbing pain in his chest, but Ye Bai didn't notice, as the pain in his arm made him grit his teeth.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack, everyone scatter quickly."
The students scattered like frightened birds and beasts, leaving only Ye Bai and Li Weiyang at the entrance of the Secret Realm.
Even Li Weiyang's admirers, her hangers-on, abandoned her one by one, especially He Qingyuan who ran the fastest, without even realizing he lost a shoe.
They all showed a hint of guilt on their faces, but it was quickly replaced by a sense of relief.
Hmph! Admirers and backup plans are unreliable after all, one must rely on oneself.
At the critical moment, Ye Bai, whom she usually disliked, was more dependable.
Li Weiyang secretly made a resolution that since she had awakened the talent of the Eye of Insight, she had to rely on herself.
"Are you alright?"
Ye Bai promptly took out a white towel and pressed it against Li Weiyang's shoulder wound, causing Li Weiyang to grit her teeth against the piercing pain in her shoulder.
A gleam flashed in his eyes; he had succeeded with Li Weiyang's blood.
Later, Ye Bai would find a safe place to freeze the blood and store it in a refrigerator.
As long as he found the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade, Ye Bai could acquire this rare A-level talent, the Eye of Insight.
"Let's go, we must leave here immediately."
Li Weiyang said weakly.
Actually, the guards of the Secret Realm had already reacted, charging towards Li Weiyang, desperate to protect her.
This was, after all, Flame Country Alliance's seed player, and she couldn't die here, but their reaction was still a step too slow.
Assassin Z was displeased upon seeing her attack being intercepted.
According to her predictions, Li Weiyang should have been shot in the head by the Drilling Armor Ant, but instead was pushed aside.
Assassin Z, who had a perfectionist personality, bit her lip and ordered the Bullet Ant to fire another shot.
The Bullet Ant aimed at the previous direction and fired again.
Ye Bai's brow furrowed instantly, and he felt a chill down his spine as a sense of foreboding arose.
Without thinking, he kicked Li Weiyang away.
A dirty footprint appeared on her wide white dress, and blood oozed from Li Weiyang's wound, dripping onto the ground.
Ye Bai ignored the piercing pain, rolling on the ground to evade the Drilling Armor Ant's attack.
Bang.
The Drilling Armor Ant hit the ground not far from Ye Bai, causing the surface to crack like a cobweb.
But Ye Bai noticed the Drilling Armor Ant wasn't dead yet, and was charging towards him with a fierce gaze.
Then Ye Bai summoned the Thousand-Change Silkworm from the Secret Realm within his body to shield himself.
That was a Drilling Armor Ant, slightly more powerful than a normal bullet.
And the Thousand-Change Silkworm's defense was strong enough to resist the Drilling Armor Ant's attack.
Ye Bai was gambling, gambling that the Thousand-Change Silkworm could withstand the Drilling Armor Ant's attack.
At this range, without the Bullet Ant's reinforcement, the Drilling Armor Ant's attack might only slightly harm the Thousand-Change Silkworm.
At this moment, Ye Bai shouted loudly, "Teacher, help!"
He wasn't worried that the Thousand-Change Silkworm would die as a result.
Due to the newly established contract, even if the Thousand-Change Silkworm suddenly died, it wouldn't cause Ye Bai too much harm.
There are three ways to dissolve the contract between a Pet Beast and a Pet Beast Master: Pet Beast's death, Pet Beast Master's death, or mutual agreement between both parties.
Bang.
The Drilling Armor Ant landed heavily on the Thousand-Change Silkworm, producing a muffled sound, and to Ye Bai's surprise, the Thousand-Change Silkworm opened its blood-red eyes.
The Thousand-Change Silkworm, which had been sleeping soundly, instantly felt a piercing pain in its rear, and howled while charging upward, emitting a shrill scream.
It fell from mid-air, crashing heavily on the ground.
Ye Bai noticed a thumb-sized, twisted ant with a drill-like mouth on the Thousand-Change Silkworm's rear.
And the silkworm's rear was only a bit swollen, with no broken skin at all.
"Such astonishing defense ability."
Code Z, seeing the Bullet Ant's second attack being blocked, was furious with a face dark as ink, and gritted her teeth as she fired a third shot.
By this time, Zhang Lingxue had already emerged from the Secret Realm, and upon seeing the two drenched in blood, was furious.
This was an assault on her own territory.
It was her oversight.
