Assassination System

Within Dan's palm was a token shining in an incomparable brilliance that illuminated the entire pavilion. Everyone's eyes darted on the source of sudden light and their eyes simultaneously widened in shock when they saw the mark clenched within the former's palm.

"Honorary Disciple Token!?"

"That brat is an Honorary Disciple? Was acquiring an Honorary Disciple Token that easy?!"

"So that's the reason why he walked up to the front with confidence, is he courting his death?"

Murmurs echoed in the area and every Core Disciples' eyes sparkled with dangerous lights. Eyeing Dan in a blatant manner, dozens of Spiritual Energy in the form of threads landed on Dan's body and inspected his cultivation along with his foundation.

[Approach of numerous foreign Spiritual Energies has been detected. Do you want to expel? Y/N]

A bluish screen appeared right in front of Dan's eyes which made him smirk. Sweeping his gaze across the Core Disciples who stared right back into his eyes. Dan softly mumbled into the air and the Spiritual Energies flying towards him, all shattered at once.

Muffled groans rang out from those that tried to probe Dan. Holding their stifled chests, they stared at Dan with renewed lights within their eyes before retracting their penetrating eyes. It seems like Dan who held the Honorary Disciple Token wasn't so simple.

Standing at the corner of the pavilion was a figure clad with the Core Disciple robes of the Paradyne Academy. Despite his tall and slender stature that towered over the short disciples around him. None of the disciples noticed his presence. In fact, if one didn't stare at him, they would not feel his presence.

With a wine glass on hand, the young man sipped and licked his lips clean. Staring at Dan's direction. His eyes sparkled with interest before shaking his head and turning around to leave.

Back at the front of the line, Dan swept his gaze across the crowd. Seeing the each and every disciple had retracted their ferocious eyes, he smirked and slowly made his way towards the array. As a Honorary Disciple, Dan didn't need to pay the required Spirit Stones and so did his wives.

In a flash of brilliant light along with the undulations of Spatial Transfer. Dan and his wives disappeared from the vicinity. Just as they vanished from the eyes of everyone. The disciples standing within the pavilion exploded into a clamor as each and everyone of them crushed jadeslips, disseminating information throughout the region.

"Damn, I could never get used to this feeling..."

The sensation of Spatial Transfer assaulted the nerves of the three who looked somewhat pale upon arrival. Sweeping their gaze around, they discovered that they had arrived at the center of a Wilderness. Towering trees and thick shrubs and the prevalent smell of earth filled their senses. Incredibly, they had arrived deep inside a forest!

Unsheathing their weapons, the three went into cautious mode and scanned the area with wary eyes for predators. According to Mathias and the attendant, the world within the array had numerous hidden dangers that could easily annihilate those that didn't brace for enemies.

Grace held twin daggers personally made by her within her hands, while Natalie assumed a defensive stance with her Soft Sword. Dan used the same weapon as Grace and the three of them slowly searched for enemies.

Since Dan intended on further tempering his senses and techniques. He didn't rely on the System. This time, he used everything that he had and entered a state of concentration as his mind madly spun and processed everything in front of him, looking for any traces of movement in the surroundings.

Natalie and Grace wore same expressions on their faces as they warily glanced at the surroudings with their nerves stretched taut. Inhibiting their auras, the three concealed their breathing and slowed down their footsteps.

"Up ahead, one is slowly approaching our way..." Dan mumbled in the softest voice that he could. Natalie and Grace nodded their heads and stared at the distance. Concealed within the darkness of the forest and the thick shrubberies, stood a two meters wolf looking for a prey to feast on.

Dan turned to look at Natalie and informed his wives through voice transmission, "Natalie, you go take that wolf out, your weapon is more suited at medium-range engagements. Make sure to take it out in a single strike..."

With Dan's command, Natalie solemnly nodded her head and infused Spiritual Energy into her Soft Sword which quickly transformed into a snake that she flicked at the direction of the wolf. Air itself split up with a whistle and Natalie's attack struck the unsuspecting wolf right at its neck, instantly killing it.

Sighing in relief after completing her objective. Natalie retracted her Soft Sword and relaxed. But when she turned to look at Grace and Dan. Her expression changed when she saw them frowning, "What's going on with the two of you? I just killed the wolf..."

"Yeah, you did kill the wolf, Natalie. But that wolf isn't the only enemy that we have within this forest. Soon, the smell of fresh blood will attract other predators..." Grace solemnly declared and Dan nodded his head.

"That's right, before we get surrounded by predators, we should move out immediately and observe from a distance, make sure that your presences are still extinguished. Fighting beasts is vastly different from fighting humans, don't let your guard down...''

All three concealed their presences once again, at the distance. Innumerable footsteps formed a chorus that shook the earth. Amidst the darkness, the three could vaguely see dozens of wolves approaching their vicinity.

Crimson eyes lit up within the darkness followed by low growls that indicated fury and anger caused by the death of their companion. Staring at the scene, Dan clicked his tongue and hurriedly decided.

"Damn it, they have already arrived! There's no way that we could escape through their encirclement! We need to forcefully break out!"

With a cold flash of light, Dan swung his daggers and instantly killed several wolves around him. Natalie and Grace didn't reply with words. Instead, they leaped at the direction of the wolves and unleashed their skills and techniques that they honed for several months.

Blood littered the ground and the strong smell of iron filled the air. Natalie swung her Soft Sword around that lunged on its enemies like a venomous snake. Grace danced amidst the battlefield, each swing of her dagger claimed a single life while Dan looked like a mirage, leaving only a trace of Lightning as his attacks devastated the wolves.

Miserable whines and the angered growls of wolves never ceased along with the three's slaughter. However, the longer that they stayed within the battlefield and the more lives they reaped, the three realized that the wolves increasingly became frenzied, as if they were being aroused by the smell and sight of blood.

"Damn it, these guys are getting persistent! The more we kill the frenzier they become!" Dan clicked his tongue and gnashed his teeth. Even with his speed, he's having a hard time keeping up with these crazed wolves.

"Dan! This battle is a one-sided slaughter but there are too many of them! We need to open up a path so we can escape or else we'll die of exhaustion in here!" Grace shouted towards the two as glistening crystallized sweats formed on her forehead that dripped down her chin. Despite the exhaustion and the sore sensation on her limbs, she kept prancing around and her movements never stopped.

Natalie was better off than the two, with her Soft Sword that seemed to possess an intelligence of its own. She didnt need to move and apart from adjusting her body with the movements of her Sword, she just stood there and observed the scene of carnage.

"I'll go and open up a path, the two of you keep the others busy!" Natalie exclaimed and the three of them reached a tacit understanding. Opening both of her palms in parallel to each other. Natalie softly chanted and a burst of Lightning exploded from her body. Scaring those wolves that dared to approach her for a sneak attack.

Lightning continuously crackled as Natalie's body transformed into a Lightning Empress, her eyes sparkled with an azure light as the Lightning field around her body continuously expanded. The wolves that touched the Lightning field disintegrated into dust while those that managed to escape before it was too late looked miserable with burnt marks all around their bodies.

"Blessing of the Lightning God: Fourth Stance, Lightning Domain!"

Natalie ended her chant and the Lightning Field expanded to its maximum. The wolves were taken aback as they hurriedly retreated in a panic. Staring at this scene with smiles on their faces. Grace and Dan ignited their cultivation bases as they ran towards those fleeing wolves and reaped their lives.

The fear that the wolves experienced reduced resistance so Grace and Dan didn't have a hard time dealing with them like earlier. Though wolves had an affinity for Lightning, it has to be known that the environment within the forest was dark, staring at such a sudden brilliance robbed them of their eyesight and made them lose their minds.

Taking advantage of this weakness, Grace and Dan paved the way outside with countless corpses of wolves at the side. Signalling towards Natalie, the latter nodded and followed suit. Jumping tree branches after tree branches, all three tried their best in escaping the pursuit of the wolves, occasionally stopping and disposing of those that caught up to their movements.

"Right there, there's a cave! Once we turn right, abandon your blood-soaked robes and conceal your presences so that they'll get confused!"

Dan ordered and the two nodded their heads in understanding. Sharply turning right, the three abandoned their robes and dispatched everything that had the smell of blood. Concealing their presences, they leaped directly into the cave entrance and merged within the darkness.

The cold wind swept past their bodies and after seeing that no wolves lingered around them, they heaved sighs of reliefs and leaned on each other's shoulders. Earlier, they were surrounded by at least a thousand wolves. It was an incredibly lucky feat that they managed to escape without any injuries.

Taking out fresh set of robes from his Spatial Ring. Dan clothed both of his wives and the two sweetly smiled in return. Drinking some water, the three leaned on the cave wall and eventually sat down. Turning towards the depths of the cave, the eyes of the three widened in shock as they witnessed innumerable crimson eyes igniting within the darkness!
