Elite Mages' Academy

As far as they could tell, all of Asabanor's plans had been clearly revealed. Using Xiao Lin as a focus and using the reverse sealing formation to extract the power within Xiao Lin's body. It was true that the power did not belong to Xiao Lin, and was actually a part of his SS-rank talent. As for how strong that power was, even Xiao Lin did not know.

However, since Asabanor was so certain, it meant that Asabanor understood it well. The power to traverse the universe was impressive and horrifying.

Setting aside Asabanor's mentality and which side he was on, Xiao Lin could not help but be impressed. Even though he was a complete lunatic, he had done something so many people from all the academies had failed to do.

Chen Dao and the others did not understand Asabanor's words, but they still understood the final part.

"Xiao Lin will die!"

"Of course!"

"We have to think of something! We have to save him!"

"Once again, of course!"

Chen Dao and An Luo were the first to launch their attacks. Chen Dao's flame spells and An Luo's arrows all had incredibly high long-ranged killing potential, but unfortunately, within the so-called strongest sealing formation, their attacks meant nothing. Their attacks were dispersed the moment they shot it out, and no matter how hard they tried, there was nothing they could do.

In the end, they were still only Bronze-ranked students, and even Xiao Lin's power in his Ruin state could not do anything to break the formation, let alone their meager attacks.

Asabanor had definitely noticed their actions in the air, but he merely looked at them with disdainful eyes, as if he was looking at a few ants. He did not care about them at all, but after a few seconds, his eyes suddenly widened as he suddenly snorted in cold derision. "Know your place, little girl!"

Chen Dao and An Luo were busying themselves, but Cheng Ming and Gu Xiaoyue, who had no long-ranged attacks, did not stay idle. After calming down, Gu Xiaoyue once again used her intellect. Even though she knew nothing about the God Sealing Array, she had not been studying the whole year for nothing.

"Cheng Ming, listen to me, every magical formation has a core. As long as we break the core, even if we can't completely destroy the array, the effects would greatly decrease!" Gu Xiaoyue said in a low voice to Cheng Ming.

"Wait for me. I'll call the other two over." Cheng Ming had wanted to call Chen Dao and An Luo over as well.

"No, let them continue to distract Asabanor's attention. We only have one chance!" Gu Xiaoyue stopped Cheng Ming.

Cheng Ming did not mind as he scratched his head. He nodded as he said, "Alright! I know you're smarter than I am, so I'll listen to you. Only, are you sure where the core is? You said it as well, we don't have many chances, so if we make any mistakes, we'll draw the attention of that old pervert. "

Gu Xiaoyue pointed to the center of the blood-red formation that was a hundred meters away. There was a grave that was vaguely visible. Because of the sand that was flying around, it would easily be missed if one was not looking for it carefully. Cheng Ming rubbed his eyes and looked toward where the girl was pointing before he finally saw it.

Gu Xiaoyue smiled softly. "Every formation has their weak points. Even though I admit that Asabanor is an extremely careful person like Xiao Lin said, he still failed to fool me. That gravestone had felt wrong to me earlier on. Even though it's not very eye-catching, hiding in a cemetery, the fact that it remains unmoving despite the forces around us is extremely unusual. So, I'm very certain that the core is there!"

Cheng Ming wiped away his sweat and did not know if he should praise Gu Xiaoyue for her eyes or her intelligence. No matter what, he was not someone who used his brains a lot, and he trusted his companion. Even though Gu Xiaoyue had deliberately left some things out, Cheng Ming knew as well that regardless of whether or not he would succeed, he would still be taking an immense risk, so he still agreed, without a hint of hesitation.

Gu Xiaoyue was taken aback. The intelligent woman had indeed deliberately concealed the risks. For instance, the fact that it was the core meant that there would definitely be an incredibly strong energy field nearby. Even if Cheng Ming managed to get near it, it would be an incredibly difficult obstacle.

However, there was nothing Gu Xiaoyue could do. She wanted to save Xiao Lin, and wanted to save Gu Chengyun, who was on Earth. Even though it had been a year in the academy, Gu Xiaoyue only completely trusted Xiao Lin. The others, such as Cheng Ming and Chen Dao, were still regarded with some care despite the trust.

She never expected that Cheng Ming would unconditionally choose to accept such a risk at such a time, so it stunned her for a moment before she mumbled to Cheng Ming's back, "Thank you."

Cheng Ming waved it off, indicating that he had heard it before raising his large shield and moving forward. He had even thrown the sword in his hand aside since the additional burden would affect his speed. Furthermore, he felt that his strength was no longer of any consequence at that time, so it was better to reduce his burden.

"Know your place!" Asabanor coldly snorted. "Do you really think the God Sealing Array is something you can easily touch at your level?"

Asabanor did not want to care about those ants, but seeing as Gu Xiaoyue had easily found where his core was had insulted his dignity. He waved his arms, and the undead army around the formation slowly started to move again.

"Chen Dao! An Luo! Stop them!" Gu Xiaoyue had given up on her image, and started to shout loudly.

With Xiao Lin captured, Gu Xiaoyue had turned into the temporary leader. Chen Dao and An Luo exchanged a look. Even though they had not gotten briefed about the situation clearly, they both still chose to trust in Gu Xiaoyue's assessment.

Even though their physical abilities and intelligence attributes were decent, it was still hard for the two of them to face the undead army alone. Thankfully, the God Sealing Array did not care for friend or foe, and the undead army had been affected as well the moment they walked into the aray, their strengths immediately decreasing by over half. Some of the weaker skeletons had crumbled, not being able to stand the force.

Asabanor's eyes twitched in the air. He had wasted a lot of time on the high-level undead army, so it had pained him quite a bit. He had planned on using them as the base of his kingdom's revival on Earth, so he had not planned on using them so easily.

However, even someone as crazy as Asabanor had their dignity. He would not let just any random person find the core of his formation. If there was anyone who did, then he would just have to kill them.
