I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

Three hours?

Xu Lingjun couldn't help feeling a sinking heart and asked, "How are the casualties inside now?"

Liu Zhiyuan replied, "We can currently only tally the list of those who entered the Secret Realm. To give the students the utmost respect and to achieve a better training effect, we haven't set up monitoring in the depths of the Secret Realm's safe zone, so we have no idea about the exact number of casualties. If it's the worst-case scenario... nearly half, or even more than half, of the students might have been killed or injured."

Xu Lingjun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then..."

"I know what you want to ask, Li Jingjun is also inside the Secret Realm."

Xu Lingjun's face immediately filled with a bitter smile.

This question is really...

Li Jingjun is in the Ice Snow Realm, and Jun Qing is in the Miwu Ghost Forest.

One is his student, and the other is his friend... yet both are in danger in two different places.

Liu Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I can only say that the timing of this Demon Beast attack is too coincidental. After the Secret Realm trial, the safe zone just recovered its prosperity. The students were cooped up for many months, so naturally, they all rushed into the Secret Realm, and then the Demon Beasts decided to riot just at this time..."

A student asked, "Has this situation never happened before?"

Liu Zhiyuan answered, "It has, but that was decades ago."

"How did we reduce casualties back then?"

"We didn't reduce casualties; we immediately activated the Terminator System and killed all the Demon Beasts, establishing the boundary between the safe zone and the danger zone in one fell swoop."

Liu Zhiyuan said, "At that time, the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion had just been established and was not as strong as it is now... Unlike now, at least we can consider rescuing some students back, but back then, we could only annihilate all students and Demon Beasts alike, and those students were recorded with first-class military merit. Their families and descendants still receive subsidies from Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion every year."

"Let's take action immediately."

Xu Lingjun stood up and said, "Hurrying to save people is the right thing to do. Didn't you say we only have three hours? If we stay here for a moment longer, we've already wasted an hour."

"Understood."

Liu Zhiyuan instructed, "There are 132 people present here. Each of you will be given a positioning device. Among you, the 46 with power above the Fourth Profound Realm will enter the Ice Snow Realm to fully assist the surviving students... and the remaining 84 will enter the Miwu Ghost Forest. Remember, when time is almost up, no matter how many people you have saved, come back immediately!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Go."

"Yes!"

Everyone simultaneously turned and hurried outside.

Only Xu Lingjun was left standing in place.

He said, "Can I apply to go to the Ice Snow Realm?"

Liu Zhiyuan said, "Both the Ice Snow Realm and the Miwu Ghost Forest are being invaded by Demon Beasts, but after all, the Demon Beasts and human powers in the Miwu Ghost Forest are relatively low, so the invading Demon Beasts are far less powerful than those in the Ice Snow Realm. For instance, all the Level 8 Demon Beasts are in the Ice Snow Realm, which might be a bit much for your power..."

Xu Lingjun said, "I could kill the Pirate King when I was only in the Huichuan Realm. Now if that Roger Sparrow was resurrected, I am fully confident I could fight him fairly!"

With full force, killing him is not impossible.

Liu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "But as far as I know, your newly recruited student is also in the Miwu Ghost Forest, right? Why, are you favoring beauty over friendship?"

"I just want to rescue Xiaoqing first, then immediately go find Jingjun. Although she might be very safe, if what you said is true, she might also be in mortal danger... I just won't feel at ease not going."

Xu Lingjun earnestly said, "She is my friend."

"Fine, I permit it."

Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Xu Lingjun and said, "Also, don't worry too much. The Li Family has deep roots, and Li Jingjun is the only heir of the Li Family. Surely there are many means to preserve her life. Additionally, with the unique effect of the Wind Seeking and Snow Returning Technique, she's probably the least likely person to die in the Secret Realm. Even if encountering a Level 8 Demon Beast, escaping shouldn't be a problem, unless the Demon Beast relentlessly pursues her... But that is unlikely to happen, as Demon Beasts have no deep enmity with humans and know when to back off."

"I understand."

Xu Lingjun nodded and quickly ran off into the distance.

Rushing out of the office building, a special vehicle was already prepared downstairs.

Just as Xu Lingjun arrived, he was handed a positioning device.

"This positioning device can track every student's whereabouts in the Secret Realm, and you will also have mutual sensing with each other. This way, you can avoid redundant, meaningless actions... there's no time, get in the car..."

"No need, I'll fly there. Is there anything else I need?"

"This... some specialized equipment..."

The service staff were taken aback, thinking, flying there... so arrogant?

"I don't need those, they're useless to me."

Xu Lingjun tapped his chest.

A red metallic armor seemed to flow over, covering his whole body.

Within moments, he transformed into a fully armored warrior.

With heated air streaming from his palms.

Xu Lingjun soared into the sky, heading straight toward the Miwu Ghost Forest.

Rescuing people comes first.

This is not the time for hesitation.

First, go to the Miwu Ghost Forest to bring Xiaoqing back, then head to the Ice Snow Realm to find Li Jingjun.

Xu Lingjun had a heavy task ahead... Although the response from Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion was undeniably swift, the Demon Beast attack had already begun an hour ago by now.

Meaning, if there were no mishaps, Li Jingjun should have returned to Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion at the first sign of trouble.

But as she had not returned by now, she likely encountered an unforeseen situation.

With nuclear energy boost, the speed of Mark 50 was faster than ever, almost like lightning.

In less than two minutes, he had already reached the entrance of the Miwu Ghost Forest... but the usually orderly entrance was now filled with the chaos of battle, countless students in white robes hurriedly carrying one wounded after another back from the Secret Realm.

What used to be a spacious square was now filled with the wounded.

Many with missing limbs...

It was evident that the patrol suffered heavy losses.

It must be the medical department.

Xu Lingjun wasted no time, flying in with full speed.

The detection mechanism at the Secret Realm's entrance was completely ineffective... and just after entering...

He heard a series of violent explosions in his ears.

Numerous cannon fires mingled with dense smoke, and the scorching flames instantly filled Xu Lingjun's eyes and ears.

A shadow flashed across his eyes...

A giant bird over ten meters long lunged in the direction of Xu Lingjun.

No, it was attacking the Secret Realm's entrance.

"Quick... the Thunder Wing Bird is too fast, turn all the cannons and lock its escape space, kill it first or we'll be in big trouble!"

The Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion commander roared loudly.

Numerous cannons turned simultaneously...

And just then, seeing the giant bird lunging down rapidly.

Xu Lingjun unhesitatingly drew the Sword of Oath and Victory.

The Formless Sword Body immediately displayed its splendid form, accompanied by True Qi surging onto the sword body.

He shouted loudly, "Excalibur!!!"

Gripping the sword with both hands, he slashed downward forcefully, a golden True Qi beam shot upward with incredible speed...

In the blink of an eye, it approached the giant bird.

The giant bird let out a long cry, shielding its body with its wings, but had them thoroughly pierced by the sword light.

Then, its chest was pierced through with a huge scorch mark.

The light beam continued to shoot forward without slowing down.

For a moment, the many students of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion who were turning the cannons were astounded, gazing at Xu Lingjun with awe.

The Level 7 Demon Beast Thunder Wing Bird, as fast as lightning, wasn't hard to confront head-on but was a real nuisance when harassing.

But this Iron Man just came over, casually swung his sword, and killed one?

No, was that Sword Qi?

Or... artillery fire...?

The crowd looked at the weapon in Xu Lingjun's hand, wondering whether this person used a sword to fire artillery or shaped artillery to look like a sword?
