Chapter Sixty-Seven: Xiao Tiance Leaves the Team, Yang Feng and Others Enter the Instance
Yang Feng said nothing, quietly waiting for Lin Xue to make her choice.
After a fierce internal struggle, Lin Xue finally reached her decision.
She looked at Xiao Tiance and said calmly, "Xiao Tiance, you should leave the team."
At that moment, Xiao Tiance wore a confident smile. He was certain Lin Xue would choose him.
But unexpectedly, Lin Xue wanted him gone.
"What?" he exclaimed. "Captain, if I leave, you won't be able to finish the dungeon! Don't you want to pass the entrance exam?" Xiao Tiance couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
Lin Xue’s expression darkened. "Yes, we want to complete the entrance exam. But you seem to have forgotten that my profession is also Swordsman."
Xiao Tiance was a Heavy Swordsman.
Lin Xue was a Female Swordsman.
Though Female Swordsmen weren’t as strong as Heavy Swordsmen, the difference wasn’t that significant. Even if Xiao Tiance left, Lin Xue could fill the role of the tank.
More importantly, their progress so far was thanks to Yang Feng. She couldn’t bring herself to abandon him now.
Xiao Tiance sneered. "Fine! In that case, you’ll regret this!"
With those words, Xiao Tiance withdrew from the team.
With teams recruiting everywhere, it wouldn’t be hard for Xiao Tiance to find another.
Yang Feng stood up and announced, "Let’s enter the dungeon!"
Lin Xue was momentarily stunned. She knew full well the current situation. Even though the two sides had called a truce, no one could enter the dungeon.
Yang Feng stood, and Gu Panpan followed suit.
Gu Panpan smiled. "Xue, let’s go in together!"
Lin Xue asked in confusion, "How do we get in?"
"Follow me," Yang Feng replied, already heading toward the dungeon.
Seeing this, Gu Panpan immediately followed, seemingly full of confidence in Yang Feng. If Yang Feng said they could enter, they surely could.
Gao Yao and Yu Miao’er hesitated, unsure what to do.
Lin Xue thought to herself that, at worst, they’d just have to turn back. With her there, nothing should go wrong. Even at Magic City University, no one would resort to murder.
"Let’s go," Lin Xue said as captain.
Gao Yao and Yu Miao’er followed Lin Xue toward the dungeon.
Lin Xue walked up to Yang Feng, gripping her longsword tightly in her right hand and her iron shield in her left. It was clear she was nervous.
The five of them moved toward the dungeon, instantly drawing the attention of Magic City University students.
"Go back! No one is allowed near the dungeon!"
"Students of Qingbei University, get lost!"
Magic City University students shouted. Archers began to string their bows, and mages raised their staffs. If Yang Feng and his group dared approach, they would be attacked mercilessly.
But Yang Feng seemed not to hear and kept walking.
Lin Xue felt her heart leap into her throat, and Gao Yao and Yu Miao’er were visibly tense. Only Gu Panpan looked unconcerned.
"It’s fine, don’t be nervous," she said.
"Brother, what are you trying to do?"
"Brother, hurry and come back!"
"Brother, if you don’t, Magic City University won’t let you off!"
"Let’s go together and protect Qingbei University’s students!"
...
All the Qingbei University students present knew Yang Feng. Without his summoning of Crow Warriors, they wouldn’t have made it this far. Though they didn’t know what he intended, most chose to side with him.
Xiao Tiance sneered. "A clown who doesn’t know his limits, is he going to die?"
Magic City University students, seeing Yang Feng ignore their warnings, launched their skills. Arrows and spells rained down upon Yang Feng.
Lin Xue immediately raised her shield to block.
With a wave of Yang Feng’s hand, thirty Crow Warriors appeared around them, tightly shielding the group and absorbing all attacks.
Lin Xue was stunned, everyone else equally incredulous.
"My god, so many crows!"
"How can there be so many?"
"What’s his class, anyway?"
"These crows are fast, their defense is incredible."
"They look ordinary, but their defense is amazing!"
No matter how Magic City University attacked, the Crow Warriors stood firm.
"We’re entering the dungeon and choosing the hardest mode," Yang Feng said coolly, unbothered by the attacks.
Seeing his confidence, Lin Xue was reassured, trusting his words.
She selected the hardest mode as instructed.
The five of them vanished at the dungeon entrance, the Crow Warriors disappearing with them.
"What? They entered the dungeon!"
"The five of them got in!"
"Looks like they chose the hardest mode!"
"Normal mode is useless, of course they picked hardest!"
"Can they get the demon core from the boss?"
"Whether they get the demon core or not, we can't let Magic City University into the dungeon!"
"Exactly, we won’t let Magic City University in!"
After Yang Feng’s group entered, both sides fell into another stalemate, neither able to enter.
Inside the dungeon, Lin Xue breathed a sigh of relief. "Did we really make it in?"
Gu Panpan smiled. "Xue, I told you not to worry. We just have to trust Yang Feng!"
Lin Xue said, "We’re in, but we’re missing a member. How can we clear it?"
Though a Female Swordsman, Lin Xue’s health was lower than a Heavy Swordsman’s, so tanking damage would be tough.
The five could easily clear normal mode, but hardest mode would be a challenge.
Gu Panpan said, "Xue, don’t worry, we have Yang Feng!"
"Yang Feng? But he’s only level 19!"
Lin Xue was surprised.
Gu Panpan smiled. "Xue, Yang Feng’s Crow Warriors are powerful, not just strong in defense, but fast as well!"
With things as they were, Lin Xue could only trust what Gu Panpan said.
