Chapter 681 - 676: Powerful Reinforcements Will Arrive
"Since the Sea Race has joined this region, conflict with them is inevitable. Let’s see which alliance the Sea Race chooses, how many powerful warriors they have, and what their strength truly is."
Wenjiu rubbed his round chin, "If the Sea Race dispatches powerful warriors and their overall strength is formidable, then we’ll choose the same alliance as them. Otherwise, we’ll choose the opposing alliance."
Choosing the same alliance means avoiding their edge.
After all, in the eyes of the natives, attacking allies of the same alliance is equivalent to betrayal. Even elemental creatures, once they develop intelligence, would adhere to this simple value.
If we choose the opposing alliance, it means we won’t back down from a fight.
"Alright." Soul Capture nodded, as tasks like intelligence gathering usually fell under her responsibility in the Wenjiu Brigade.
"We should report this information to Commander Gangxin," Wenjiu said.
"Indeed, Gangxin can provide a backup plan," Circular Flow agreed.
These people were unaware of Bai Pu’s current condition, which prevented him from engaging in combat.
They only knew that Bai Pu had encountered two arrogant Princes of the Sea during the battles at Skalaste Peak and Lorich Magic Academy, killing one and repelling the other.
This was why Bai Pu, at less than twenty years old, had gained the unanimous recognition of the Huaxia Battle Group—
He can fight!
After the contact, Soul Capture said, "Gangxin replied instantly. He told us to fight without worry, as powerful reinforcements will arrive in due course."
...
Garrison Academy.
Principal’s office.
"Dior Fulri, you finally returned."
Principal Bosh Gajisen frowned at Bai Pu, "However, your aura seems a bit unbalanced. Have you encountered any trouble?"
Beside him, the Head of the Knight System, Blood Plum Knight Dana Cidibe, heard this and carefully observed Bai Pu. She couldn’t see anything unusual.
Bai Pu was quite honest with Principal Bosh.
"Indeed, I’ve encountered trouble. At Lorich Magic Academy, I faced a very strong enemy... To defeat him, I paid a significant price."
Subsequently, Bai Pu explained to the principal his situation of accommodating two top-level Sources of Magical Power, which led to the brink of collapse for his other two Magic Cores.
"You need top-level Sources of Magical Power for the other two elements..."
Principal Bosh frowned, "It’s difficult to find Wind and Fire Sources of Magical Power that rival the Earth Dragon Bead. They might not even exist on the entire Twin Star Continent. After all, the Garrison Warrior Academy is the domain of Martial Artists and doesn’t store top-level Sources of Magical Power."
Bai Pu didn’t intend to leverage his status as a Garrison Academy student to obtain the top-level Sources of Magical Power effortlessly.
It’s impossible. The Spirit Realm Will adheres to a principle of fairness. To acquire a top-level Source of Magical Power, an Awakened must put in effort matching its value and cannot expect it to be freely given by the natives.
Not even the Lorich Magic Academy, known for its magical prowess, has found a top-level Source of Magical Power comparable to the Earth Dragon Bead—
According to Laine’s explanation, all Ancient Divine-Demonic Relic Level Sources of Magical Power were offered by Ferudo to Demon God Salajael for his revival.
Bai Pu shook his head and said, "I already have a target. Some of my adventurer friends are helping me acquire it. However, Salajael’s minions are relentlessly targeting them... Currently, I can’t act and can only request the academy’s help."
"Are you planning to issue a mission?"
Principal Bosh Gajisen smiled, "As long as you can offer enough Merit Points, there are plenty of capable youngsters in the academy to take on your mission."
Dana Cidibe laughed, "Gangxin isn’t short on Merit Points. Last time, he made a great contribution by protecting the Secret Collection Hall from the Beastmen. Getting a few students from War God Peak to help you is no problem."
Bai Pu shook his head solemnly, "I do not intend to request ordinary students from War God Peak."
"Oh?"
"Principal, Director, please forgive my frankness. The minion of Salajael I encountered was exceptionally powerful, surpassing the capabilities of any War God Peak student. Even his two subordinates possess strength that exceeds that of War God Peak students."
"That strong?" Principal Bosh Gajisen and Dana Cidibe were somewhat surprised.
War God Peak students, at their weakest, are Enhanced Warrior Level and often hold Lord Level templates. For example, ’Munis’ from War God Peak’s second cohort is a Level 8 Lord.
Bai Pu continued, "Therefore, I hope for the principal to personally take action."
"Me, take action... Hmm, you really have a lot of nerve."
Principal Bosh wasn’t angry and considered for a few seconds before saying, "Having me assist you is possible. However, the guidance I promised you last time will be forfeited."
Last time, during the Professional Plane’s trial, Bai Pu protected the books in the Secret Collection Hall and exterminated many Beastmen, achieving great merit.
In addition to the Merit Points, Principal Bosh also promised Bai Pu a chance for his guidance.
The opportunity for guidance from such a strong Lord as Principal Bosh is undoubtedly extremely valuable. At that time, with a mere Level 7 and half-baked Mystical Arts understanding, Bai Pu naturally wasn’t willing to squander this chance and decided to save it.
Now, as the principal mentions this seemingly insensitive decision, it’s actually based on the passive balance enforced by the Spirit Realm Will.
Bai Pu understood he couldn’t freeload on someone of the principal’s caliber.
This valuable opportunity for guidance had to be sacrificed.
In reality, being personally guided by the principal compared to having him act as muscle, the latter was indeed more valuable. Managing to persuade the principal to assist was already the maximum favor granted by the Spirit Realm Will.
For an average person, it would just be wishful thinking.
"Alright, where do you need me?"
...
To the north of the Twin Star Continent, Pale Earth Palace.
Napo Gang held the Electric Wave Snail in his hands.
"Gangxin will go to the Howling Wind Highlands for reinforcement? Is this information reliable?"
After receiving a confirmed answer, Napo Gang smiled faintly.
"Very well. My Reversing Dharma Bead hasn’t been repaired yet; attempting to kill him before Gangxin could react is currently quite challenging! For now, it’s wise to avoid confrontation."
"With Gangxin going to Howling Wind Highlands, I’ll head to Pale Earth Palace."
"First, I’ll clip his wings and gradually deal with him!"
...
Garrison Academy, student dormitory.
Bai Pu was wholeheartedly focused on controlling the two top-level Magic Cores within his body, slowing their rate of expansion.
At present, when he couldn’t act, only a top-tier sanctuary like Garrison Academy was the safest.
These past few days, Bai Pu had been continuously managing the Magic Cores, and his understanding of Earth and Wind Magic had advanced rapidly, as if propelled by a rocket.
He hardly needed to put effort into learning these element’s middle and low-level magic, instantly understanding how to cast them, and when demonstrated, the power was formidable — undoubtedly at the Controller Level (Super Mage)!
Suddenly, Rooster burst in hurriedly.
"Commander, a message from Howling Wind Highlands."
