Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

On one side.

The stone cave.

Xiao Mengyu suddenly opened her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Guo Yunye asked.

"Such a powerful aura... It's a rare monster..." Xiao Mengyu said with a grave expression.

Without a word, Guo Yunye transformed into a Teddy with a "snap" and shrank down to Xiao Mengyu's feet.

Xiao Mengyu laid her hand on her sword, assuming a stance to strike.

"Hold on, don't be hasty to attack. I'll go first."

The Biochemical Avatar spoke.

It took a step forward, bringing its hands together to form a heavy metal cannon barrel.

Humming noises...

The cannon began to charge up.

"The noise is a bit too loud," Xiao Mengyu reminded.

The Biochemical Avatar replied:

"It's fine, that creature has been coveting for a long time, and it couldn't resist climbing up here at last. I've made the most optimized combat strategy choice based on Shen Ye's talents and fighting style—"

"I'll take the first move, don't do anything."

Xiao Mengyu paused,

seemingly placing her confidence in this robot.

Well then,

she could use this opportunity to learn more about the monster.

She took a slight step back, giving her position to the other.

——And then the monster arrived.

Countless claws dug tightly into the stone wall, the hard and ferocious black carapace shone with a captivating luster, and the giant tail spine on its back emitted a dark green cold light.

The Human-faced Poison King Scorpion!

The Triple Layers of the Law Realm!

It was smarter than the previous creatures—

the moment it appeared, it unfolded its Law Realm.

An endless number of small scorpions filled the Law Realm, climbing and connecting to each other, forming a giant poison stinger.

Dharma Aspect combined with skills, it made an all-out attack!

However, inside the stone cave, the Biochemical Avatar's hand-formed cannon continued to accumulate power, with no intention of firing yet.

"Hey! If you don't attack now, it'll be too late," Xiao Mengyu urged anxiously.

The Biochemical Avatar remained unresponsive, still charging the cannon.

The Human-faced Poison King Scorpion made its move!

It suddenly leaned forward, thrusting its long tail stinger!

This was a poison fog injection!

The entire cave would be eroded by the poison fog, and these humans would be unable to stand on the cliff, left to be slaughtered at will!

The tactic was flawless, but—

Inside the cave, everything was as usual.

No poison fog.

No poisoned humans.

No panic or screaming, no chance to launch a surprise attack.

——What's the situation?

The Human-faced Poison King Scorpion couldn't understand.

It couldn't help but thrust its stinger again, shooting randomly into the cave.

Still no effect!

Its attacks all entered Hell.

Next, if it dared to rush into the cave, then it too would go to Hell!

No—

It had no chance anymore!

The Biochemical Avatar's cannon, fully charged, released a blinding light at the cave entrance, piercing through the body of the Human-faced Poison King Scorpion.

The scorpion's body flipped over and fell down.

Standing in the cave, one could hear the "thump", "thump", "thump" sounds gradually fading as the scorpion hit the stone walls.

That was the sound of the Human-faced Poison King Scorpion hitting the stone walls.

"Why did its attack have no effect?" Xiao Mengyu asked.

"Shen Ye's Technique," replied the Biochemical Avatar succinctly.

Its cannon disappeared, reverting back to two hands, smilingly it said:

"It is now midnight. Do you need a late-night snack?"

"I have recorded tens of thousands of recipes, guaranteed to satisfy your appetite."

...

Shen Ye flew back all the way.

He removed the "gate" attribute from above the cave and entered inside.

He saw Xiao Mengyu, Guo Yunye, and the Biochemical Avatar all waiting there intact.

The Biochemical Avatar held a rocket launcher in a defensive posture.

"How did it go?" Xiao Mengyu asked.

Shen Ye then recounted what could be told.

The pair were somewhat stunned when they heard that the five classmates were aliens.

"Remember," Shen Ye emphasized, "Azure Academy has now completely turned towards aliens. Be cautious when you encounter anyone from Azure."

The two tensed up, immediately worrying about their classmates from Xi Rang.

Guo Yunye said with a worried look:

"I don't know how Zhang Xiaoyi and the others are doing, whether they're still alive."

"They must be," said Xiao Mengyu firmly, "when I fell down, I saw him with Nangong Sirui."

"With him? Then there should be a chance of survival," said Guo Yunye with relief.

——Nangong Sirui has the Divine Artifact Shield, which is good for defense.

Shen Ye suddenly remembered something and asked:

"Yun Ye, it's past midnight. What kind of dog's abilities do you have now?"

Guo Yunye slapped his forehead and shouted: "Transform."

Bang!

He turned into a Husky.

"Do you have to shout 'transform' when you're changing?" Shen Ye asked curiously.

"That's not necessary, but it feels more imposing to say it," the Husky said, wagging its tail.

"What's today's ability?" Shen Ye asked.

"Destructive Dog," the Husky said, sounding somewhat dismayed.

"..." Shen Ye.

"..." Xiao Mengyu.

"I remember that you have a different profession each day of the week, today being Saturday—will you be a Destructive Dog every Saturday from now on?" Shen Ye asked.

"That's not the case," said the Husky.

"Why?"

"Because there are too many professions I have; I can't get through them in just one week."

Shen Ye did not continue to ask.

——Asking Guo Yunye about all his professions would be prying into his secrets, which wouldn't be polite.

"But these are all rocks, how are you going to tear them apart?" Xiao Mengyu asked.

The Husky spoke in human language:

"This is a cause and effect activation skill. First, you need to say—"

"I can't take you out to play today."

Then Shen Ye said, "I can't take you out to play today."

"This is still not enough, it needs to be at home." the Husky said.

"This is our temporary home," Xiao Mengyu said in agreement.

"It's done!"

The Husky moved with tiny steps to the corner of the cave and gently pulled at something with its paw.

A deep claw mark was immediately scratched onto the cave wall.

"It's like cutting through iron like mud!" Shen Ye exclaimed in surprise.

"Any building with the 'home' attribute, I can destroy," the Husky said.

"Impressive." Shen Ye and Xiao Mengyu praised in unison.

But—

This is useless!

As Shen Ye pondered the usefulness of this skill, a voice suddenly rang in his ear:

"Be careful."

"Although the Dharma Aspect of the Sixth Layer of Law Domain had not unfolded just now, it descended upon your body—your body is already at its limit, and weakness will soon set in."

It was Yun Ni's voice!

Shen Ye's heart tightened, and just as he was about to take out a small blue pill, his head spun, and he collapsed to the ground.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Mengyu asked in shock.

Shen Ye tried to get up but found that his arms had lost their strength; he couldn't even push himself off the ground.

His vision darkened, and his consciousness began to blur.

A state of weakness!

Yun Ni's voice quietly sounded, with a touch of helplessness:

"I will come to protect you right away, but you must be careful too."

Shen Ye took a few breaths and was about to speak when he noticed a faint light appearing before his eyes, gathering into words:

"Strength: 0.1;"

"Agility: 0.1;"

"Spiritual power: 0.1;"

"Comprehension: 0.1;"

"Resonance: 0.1; (Legacy Resonance under the moon +20);"

"Available Attribute Points: 15."

"Your current gate power is also temporarily unavailable, unless you raise your spiritual power above 0.5."

Not bad!

The free attribute points are still there!

But it's uncertain how long the weakness will last; he couldn't afford to use them recklessly.

While he was pondering, Xiao Mengyu had already hurried over and picked him up in her arms.

"What happened to you?" Xiao Mengyu asked with concern.

"I practiced a School of Method, which leads to a state of weakness at special times. Unfortunately, it happened now," Shen Ye sighed.

Xiao Mengyu nodded slightly, indicating she understood.

She laid Shen Ye down in the deepest part of the cave, leaning him against a rock to rest as comfortably as possible.

"You rest for a while, I'll handle the rest," Xiao Mengyu said.

"And me," a dog's head popped out from behind Xiao Mengyu, saying earnestly.

At that moment, some noises came from the cave wall.

They instantly tensed up.

But a girl with curly hair appeared at the entrance of the cave, looking at them in surprise:

"Hello, I didn't expect to find other people alive here."

Shen Ye immediately relaxed.

Damn.

It's Yun Ni.

She must have used this method to find a legitimate reason to appear.

"Who are you? I have not seen you before."

Xiao Mengyu asked guardedly, her hand on her sword.

"I'm Yun Ni from Azure Academy. Mengyu, I added you as a friend, don't you remember?" Yun Ni said with wide eyes.

She even pulled out a card and sent a communication request right there.

Azure High School!

According to Shen Ye, the people from this school had completely sided with the aliens!

Guo Yunye immediately prepared for battle.

Xiao Mengyu's sword was already drawn—

"Stop!" Shen Ye shouted.

The sword tip halted at Yun Ni's pale neck.

Yun Ni's eyes widened in surprise, showing no intention to fight.

"She seems..." Xiao Mengyu hesitated.

—She seems not to want to fight at all.

Shen Ye rubbed his head in annoyance.

Right.

Yun Ni is also from Azure.

She would have to fight alongside Xiao Mengyu and Guo Yunye in the future, so it was best not to foster any ill will between them.

"I forgot to mention, I saw her just now."

"She helped me find a lot of information, including stuff about Azure High School."

"—She should be fine."

Shen Ye explained.

Xiao Mengyu glanced at Yun Ni, pulled out her own card, and checked the friend request record.

Turns out it was true.

"Indeed from Azure Academy... I remember now, what did you say you were going to do?"

"Skirts, I asked you where you bought the skirt you wore during the exams," Yun Ni said.

"I remember now, but why are you here?" Xiao Mengyu asked.

"I'm an exchange student. I just arrived at the school today—look," Yun Ni said.

Yun Ni handed her student ID, card, and exchange student documents to Xiao Mengyu.

Xiao Mengyu examined them carefully and nodded:

"The documents are real."

However, Shen Ye was thinking about something else.

—Yun Ni definitely did not get her exchange student documents after being caught by the teachers.

She had prepared her documents early on, intending to come to Breath Soil High School.

That's why she had given up the bet back then, hoping to get Shen Ye's help in finding information about Xi Rang.

But then the situation took a sharp turn—

When Shen Ye broke through to a real person, he was discovered by the planet, which in turn implicated her.

That's why she had to change her plans and start the bet.

So in the beginning, she was prepared to come to Xi Rang!

But why? Was it to find him, or for some other reason?

"All these things check out, Miss Yun Ni—unfortunately, as soon as you arrived, we got attacked," Xiao Mengyu sighed and gestured with her chin for Yun Ni to come inside the cave.

Her fingers, however, traced out a few words in Shen Ye's hand:

"Don't trust her."

Shen Ye was speechless.

—This young lady is actually quite vigilant.

"Eh? Isn't this Shen Ye, the heir of the Chaotic Heaven Gate? What happened?" Yun Ni feigned innocence and asked.
