“What’s wrong?”

Han Zong did not look inside the wooden box. Seeing Liang Yiqing standing rooted to the ground, he frowned and said, “What are you standing there for? Give me the ancient manual.”

“There’s no need to worry about damaging the ancient manual,” said Ma s.h.i.+feng, leaning over. “The hidden map must have been augmented by some secret technique inside the b-book…”

His words trailed off as his eyes widened in shock.

“Why are you…”

Han Zong took a few steps forward and asked curiously. Not expecting to see the empty wooden box, he too froze on the spot.

The expressions of the crowd in the hall changed upon seeing their strange behaviors.

“What are you waiting for, President Ma? Take out the True Energy for Beginners from the box,” someone shouted.

The corners of Ma s.h.i.+feng’s eyes twitched. His mouth opened and closed.

However, at this stage, there was nothing they could do to stop this.

Right then, he slowly reached out and picked up the box while lowering his voice and asking Liang Yiqing,

“What’s going on? Weren’t you the one safekeeping the box?”

“I..I was the one safekeeping… No!” Liang Yiqing recalled something and shuddered. “An hour ago, President Liu said he wanted to take a look at the ancient book and see if we had gotten the wrong one, so I temporarily handed it to him for safekeeping. After that, I took it back and did not check inside the box!”

“Liu Jufen?”

Han Zong’s expression turned ugly. “d.a.m.n it, I knew there was something wrong with this old man!”

“What’s going on with you guys? Why do you guys have to hold a long discussion over an ancient text?” someone from the crowd urged .

Su Jingxing, who had been listening in on Ma s.h.i.+feng and company, smiled faintly.

Xuantian University was about to get lively.

Someone has taken away the True Energy for Beginners right before they unlocked it!

There are a total of four ancient books, and three are already lost.

They’re relying on the final one to save face. But now, even the fourth book is gone.

What else is there to crack?

An egg!

President Liu? Liu Jufen?

As far as Su Jingxing knew, there was no vice-president named “Liu Jufen” in Xuantian University.

This is either an honorific or this person is someone from the main campus!

It would be even more entertaining if he’s from the main campus.

Su Jingxing was in thought.

On the rostrum, Ma s.h.i.+feng had also made his decision. He turned the empty wooden box towards everyone.

At the same time, he shouted in anger and shame, “I’m ashamed to say that the True Energy for Beginners was taken an hour ago. The person who took it was Liu Jufen, from the Xuantian main…”

“Hahaha…”

Before Ma s.h.i.+feng could finish his sentence, mocking laughter erupted from below the stage.

“I knew it would turn out like this! You guys sure know how to find excuses!”

“Lost just an hour ago. What a coincidence.”

“Let’s go, let’s go. I’ll look for it myself. Everyone we’re having the same starting line, we’re all relying on luck to find ancient manuals. Whoever finds them first gets to keep them! I hope everyone adheres to the rules.”

“Heh, since when did you have the right to make the rules, Old Three Lu?”

“At the very least, he’s more qualified than you!”

…

A hubbub broke out. Everyone who was waiting got up immediately. Those who came alone left through the window, and those who came in groups discussed among themselves. Those who were already at odds with one another began to argue.

The huge auditorium was bustling with noise and excitement. No one listened to Ma s.h.i.+feng anymore.

This included the Li Family, Li Lilou quickly pointed at a few cloaked or masked figures. Then, Xu Tailong’s furious roar resounded through the auditorium.

“He! Pay for my son’s life!”

Xu Tailong unleashed a terrifying aura that divided his killing intent into four, charging towards the four figures Li Lilou was pointing at.

Among them was He Lieren, who was less than three meters away from Su Jingxing.

Su Jingxing could feel He Lieren’s heartbeat increase. Almost subconsciously, he darted out of the window.

On the contrary, in their shock, the other three people either turned around or glared at Xu Tailong coldly.

One of them bellowed in a deep voice, “Xu Tailong, what are you…”

“Found him!”

Li Lilou was the first to exclaim in delight. Pointing at the window where He Lieren had left, he said excitedly, “Chairman Xu, the person over there has escaped!”

“Give chase!”

As soon as his response sounded, Xu Tailong had already disappeared from where he stood. He charged out of the window and gave chase.

Three other people followed him out of the window. They were all experts in movement techniques.

Before Su Jingxing could get a clear look at their faces, the four of them flashed past his eyes and disappeared into the night sky.

When Li Lilou ran over with his men, he hurriedly nodded and followed suit. There weren’t many people left in the auditorium.

A few people, including Su Jingxing, stayed behind to wait for Ma s.h.i.+feng, Han Zong, and the others to finish their discussion.

Then, they followed behind Ma s.h.i.+feng and company to charge out of the hall.

Some did not believe Ma s.h.i.+feng’s claims.

Similarly, some people believed him.

The ones who stayed till the end were those who believed him!

After Liu Jufen took away the True Energy for Beginners, Ma s.h.i.+feng and company took action to recover it. Su Jingxing and a few others followed suit without hesitation.

Compared to Xu Tailong’s revenge plan that the Li Family was more than happy to join in to clear their name,

catching up to Liu Jufen and recovering the True Energy for Beginners was undoubtedly more exciting.

At the very least, that was what Su Jingxing thought and did!

…

The night wind blew.

Moonlight shone on the ground.

In the sky above the university town, a dozen or so figures were flying rapidly in quick succession.

Before long, they left the boundaries of the university town and entered the woods on the outskirts of the Eastern District of Qinghe City.

Su Jingxing, who seemed to be the slowest and had fallen behind, was actually relaxing, keeping pace with the crowd ahead.

Unsure of Ma s.h.i.+feng’s judgment, Liu Jufen fled towards the east. Su Jingxing was in no hurry to keep up.

If they had taken the wrong direction, it would still take time to turn around.

However, the facts proved that they were right.

Risking depleting their true energy at an alarming rate, the group continued their mad chase for more than ten minutes.

On the ground, an unlit car sped along the mountain path and appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Boom!

Han Zong, who was in the lead, threw a punch from a distance as soon as he spotted the vehicle. A huge fist imprint formed from flaming true energy tore through the night sky, shattering the air. Like a meteor, it whistled through the air as it headed straight for the vehicle.

Boom!

At the same time, the car suddenly accelerated. With a roar, it sped up and dodged the flaming fist imprint.

Bam!

A clap of thunder seemed to resound on the mountain path.

Dirt flew everywhere, and debris flew into the air. A crater with a radius of four to five meters was immediately created by the flame fist imprint.

“Liu! Ju! Fen!”

Han Zong’s furious voice resounded through the woods.

Boom boom boom!

The air exploded.

The fist imprint formed from flaming true energy was once again released through the air and slammed into the ground.

A violent aura sc.r.a.ped through the air, producing a shrill sound.

The result of unleas.h.i.+ng five fist imprints at once was succeeding in stopping the speeding car, blasting it, and sending it rolling on the ground.

However, as the burning vehicle rose into the air, a figure darted out of the vehicle at lightning speed and disappeared into the woods…
