Desperate Night

In addition to that, Yu Hong also bought some snacks and treats to pass the time on the road.

Life isn't just about cultivation; it always needs some adjustment and relaxation.

On Emerald Island, he was the only one quietly exploring the usage of the Book of Teleportation.

The campfire swayed constantly in the sea breeze. The Black Spirit, which had been so lively before, now had only him left.

The next morning.

Yu Hong stuffed all the things he bought into the boat, stood at the gate, and took one last look at this pure and wide island.

He sighed, no longer hesitated, and turned to walk into the gate.

"Captain!!!"

"Weren't you guys going for the assessment?" Yu Hong's mood improved a bit, and he asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Ku Chan flew closer. "We passed."

He jumped off the flying carpet and stuffed a black briefcase into Yu Hong's arms.

"A farewell gift prepared for you, a token of our, Ku Chan and Yi Yi's, appreciation."

"Yes, our appreciation!" Yi Yi nodded earnestly beside him.

"I appreciate the thought, but you guys should take your things back. Compared to me, you need the money more." Yu Hong felt a warmth in his heart and tried to return the box to Ku Chan.

"Just accept it. What your teacher did wasn't right." Harvey sighed from the side. "After I found out, I also helped Ku Chan contact the seller. It wasn't easy to get this thing. To be honest, I'm a little shocked that Ku Chan is even qualified to buy this."

"Although it's not much, it's a token of my appreciation." Ku Chan said seriously, stuffing the box back into Yu Hong's hands.

"The item is only suitable for you, Captain. There's no point in giving it back to me. Since you've already bought it and spent the money, don't let my good intentions go to waste."

Yu Hong had a faint guess in his heart. He immediately took the box and quickly opened the lid.

Inside was a small box of irregular metal pieces with a rainbow-like luster.

A note was stuck on the side, which read: Sub-Star Spirit Alloy (Self-healing ability is one-fifth to one-tenth of the complete form. Contains more impurities, weaker strength).

Yu Hong looked at this small box of metal pieces, raised his head, and saw Ku Chan turning his eyes away in embarrassment, not daring to look at him.

"Where did you get so much money to buy this!?" He had also seen this thing in the Book of Teleportation. Even the sub-grade costs tens of thousands of crystal coins per kilogram!

Casually weighing it in his hand, there were at least seven or eight kilograms!

"Captain, why do you care so much? Compared to the cultivation method you gave me, what is this?" Ku Chan immediately put on an impatient posture.

"He sold all the meditation resources his teacher gave him," Harvey whispered from the side.

"You know nothing!" Ku Chan rarely shouted rudely. "I passed all the assessments in one go, with full marks! I'm a genius in the second tier, only second to the highest! With my qualifications, I don't need these resources at all!"

"I can get the same thing back in minutes!"

"Are the benefits that good?" Yu Hong's hand trembled. He was silent for a moment, then joked, "Can I also take the test?"

"You can, Captain, you're definitely stronger than me, but you might not be willing to do the second test..." Ku Chan hesitated.

"Ku Chan participated in Dean Liu Chi Xuan's assessment test at the Os Academy. The difficulty is very high," Harvey continued to explain in a low voice. "The first test is to select only one hundred people out of three hundred thousand, and the second test is even more troublesome. You need to open up all your memories from childhood to adulthood and let them examine it, without allowing any concealment."

"." Yu Hong didn't need to think to know that someone like him would definitely not pass the second test. Only an honest and upright guy like Ku Chan has the qualifications and dares to take the second test.

Thinking about it carefully, this guy has an upright character, clear likes and dislikes, excellent qualifications, loyalty, and always rushes to the front in case of trouble. He is responsible and not afraid of danger.

If someone were to take him as a disciple, he would probably choose this guy first.

Yu Hong doesn't want to be such a person, but it doesn't stop him from liking to be with such people.

Or rather, no one would not want to be friends with someone like Ku Chan.

"I'll accept the things." Yu Hong didn't know what he was feeling at this time. Looking at the box of metal in his hand, he was silent for a moment.

"Can the sequelae on your body be resolved?" he asked.

"The teacher said there's no problem. But it's also fortunate that there's the Red Food Method to suppress and delay it. The teacher said that without this method, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until now," Ku Chan said seriously.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yu Hong, hesitant to speak.

He really wanted Yu Hong to stay, but... he also asked the teacher about Aggres...

"Captain, if you have any trouble, remember to come find me!"

Yu Hong didn't speak any more, just reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then stepped forward and hugged Yi Yi.

"Take care."

"Can't you come back occasionally?" Yi Yi asked a little confused.

"Uh... it seems like you can." Yu Hong blinked. The slightly sad parting atmosphere was completely overturned by this sentence.

"Okay, I'm leaving. I'll come back to see you later." He didn't say much, turned around, and walked into the gate.

The door slowly closed.

Blocking the figures of Ku Chan and Yi Yi waving constantly.

The Black Spirit took off, turned around, and chose to leave again without even finishing the repairs.

With a whoosh, the ship disappeared into the teleportation exit in this sky.

Leaving Ku Chan and Yi Yi still staring blankly at the sky.

"Now that we've sent off the person, it's time to go back with me."

A blurry blue figure silently condensed and appeared behind Ku Chan.

"Teacher! Why are you here?" Ku Chan was shocked and quickly turned around, pulling Yi Yi to bow to the other party.

Harvey also quickly bowed and saluted.

"Patrol Mage Harvey greets Dean Liu."

"Is it worth it?" The blue figure ignored Harvey and just looked at Ku Chan, asking in a deep voice.

"The greeting gift I gave you when you became my disciple is at least equivalent to the accumulation of ordinary mages for decades, and you sold all of it to exchange for such a box of sub-grade Star Spirit Alloy. Do you know how much of a price difference you lost in the middle?"

"It's worth it," Ku Chan said seriously.

"Just for a Savior's Ark captain who has no future and is destined to be imprisoned by Aggres until death?" the figure asked again.

"The captain is one of the people I admire most in my life. If it weren't for him, I would have died in my own world," Ku Chan replied.

Looking at his firm and sincere eyes, the figure was silent for a moment.

"I'm starting to doubt whether accepting you was the right decision... Arcane magic needs reason, absolute rationality. Not impulsively doing things that you might regret in the future."

The latest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Jiu Shu Ba!

"The student will not regret it. Not now, and not in the future," Ku Chan said firmly.

The figure didn't speak any more, just snorted coldly, turned around, and walked towards the teleportation array.

"Let's go, back to the academy."

"Yes." Ku Chan pulled Yi Yi, gave Harvey a salute to express his gratitude, and then quickly caught up with the blue figure.

But after only a few steps, he felt a dark object smash towards his head.

With a 'pa', he caught the object, which was actually another black box wrapped in blue-black cloth, exactly the same as the one he had just given to Yu Hong.

"This is...!?" Ku Chan looked at the teacher in confusion.

"There are two copies of the apprenticeship gift. This is the second copy. Fortunately, I, the old man, didn't give you all of them together, otherwise you would have taken them all to sell, wouldn't that be a big loss?!" The blue figure snorted coldly and walked forward, disappearing into the teleportation array in the blink of an eye. Although he didn't think it was wise to waste resources on someone like Yu Hong, who was destined to have no future, he could only let his disciple do as he pleased since that was what he wanted to do.

After all, although there aren't many people with qualifications like Ku Chan, they can still be found, but people with his kind of heart and will... he has only seen a few in the past hundred years.

Ku Chan blinked, looked at the box in his hand in confusion, and followed Yi Yi up.

Leaving Harvey, looking at the afterimages of the two disappearing, he sighed speechlessly.

"I've really broadened my horizons..." He looked up at the sky, recalling the scene when he first became Margaret's disciple. It was all him giving gifts to the teacher.

"I've never seen a teacher give gifts to students, let alone give two copies at once..."

Deep in the Wind Disaster, in the torrent of colorful threads.

Yu Hong controlled the Black Spirit, floating in the colorful threads, no longer moving forward.

He stood alone by the window, watching the huge sunflower-like human faces that occasionally floated by outside, his heart without sorrow or joy.

"Everyone's gone, now there's no one who can stop me."

He took out the strengthening Outer Eye.

There were 33 hours and 12 minutes left on the countdown.

Which is a little over a day.

"I'll wait here for the strengthening to finish, then repair the Black Spirit and set off again." He made a decision. This place is adjacent to the Sky City Absolute Balance, and the surrounding area is actually safer.

In his current state, there was no need to continue stubbornly setting off. Although the Black Spirit has strong concealment even without opening the isolated state, after all, its defensive capabilities have dropped a lot. If he was unlucky enough to encounter a sensitive big guy, it would be troublesome.

Yu Hong sat cross-legged in front of the window, bathed in the colorful light projected from outside, and entered the cultivation state of the Chaotic Divine Sky Eye Technique.

Strangely, usually, when practicing the Chaotic Divine Sky Eye Scripture, he would only enter a meditative state and never fall asleep, but this time, he unknowingly fell into a drowsy sleep.

"Yu Hong..."

"Yu Hong..."

A low and vast voice echoed constantly in his ears.

In a daze, Yu Hong came back to his senses and found himself floating in an boundless and vast starry sky.

All around were dark spaces filled with silver stars.

And that voice was coming from directly above him.

Above?

Yu Hong raised his head, and suddenly his pupils shrank.

He saw an incomparably huge black giant lizard clinging to a yellowish-brown planet.

The giant lizard's head rested on the surface of the planet, and its body wrapped around the planet in a circle.

At this time, the platinum-gold eyes of this black giant lizard were calmly watching him.

Watching Yu Hong, who was like a speck of dust.

"Nice to meet you, I am Aggres." The giant lizard's deep voice, like thunder, entered Yu Hong's ears.

Aggres? The main body!?

Yu Hong was stunned, staring at the other party, and suddenly an indescribable chill rose from the bottom of his heart.

"The time hasn't come yet, right?" He suppressed the instinctive fear in his heart caused by the excessive difference in status. He said in a deep voice.

"Of course. I came to you because just now, all the other Savior's Arks under my jurisdiction were destroyed, leaving only your ship still alive," Aggres said calmly.

"You should have seen the message left by the Space-Time Demon before it was annihilated, right? That was the scene at the beginning of the Great Extinction three thousand years ago."
