Chapter 155: I'll Give You Two Hours
The mage behind stood frozen in disbelief.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that his infallible vengeful spirit would have zero effect on the person right in front of him!
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it, even if it killed him.
Gritting his teeth, he let out a low growl: "Darkness Orb!"
A pitch-black sphere of light shot rapidly toward Xu Han.
Meanwhile, the man with bear paws and the winged archer had also recovered.
They launched their own attacks against Xu Han as well.
Although the strength of these individuals was not particularly formidable in Xu Han's eyes, their attacks were by no means weak.
If he were hit, he would still sustain injuries.
Moreover, it was not daytime, meaning there was no sunlight to aid in recovery.
Xu Han temporarily abandoned his plan to finish off Li Hu, shifting his body rapidly to dodge their incoming assaults.
His gaze swept across the group.
A chilling glint flashed in his eyes.
Since Li Hu could not be taken down immediately, he would eliminate the others first!
Brilliant arcs of electricity erupted in the palm of his hand.
With a thunderous roar, he launched the attack at the mage.
Chain Lightning!
Boom!
The mage was blasted away by the thunder and lightning, crashing heavily into the sandy ground.
"Gravity Field!"
The bear-pawed man let out a low roar.
He slammed both palms fiercely onto the ground.
Xu Han instantly felt his body grow exceptionally heavy, and his speed plummeted significantly.
He frowned slightly.
A gravity field could alter the surrounding gravitational pull.
The higher the level, the stronger the generated gravity field.
Based on Xu Han's perception, the gravity pressing down on him had reached at least five times the normal level.
This suggested that the opponent's gravity field was at Level 5 or higher.
Fortunately, his strength and physique were formidable enough.
If this were any fragile-class profession, they would have been pinned flat to the ground, completely unable to move.
Seeing Xu Han's speed drop, Li Hu's eyes flashed with a crimson light.
This was the prime opportunity to slay this brat!
"Savage Charge!"
He let out a roar like a wild beast.
His massive physique rushed toward Xu Han like a runaway tank.
Xu Han broke into a grin.
By charging straight at him, Li Hu had separated himself from the others.
"Phantom Flash!"
In an instant, he transformed into a blur, dashing swiftly toward the mage.
The ice-blue blade swept across the mage's throat.
The mage's eyes widened in sheer terror before the life drained from them, and his body slumped limply to the ground.
Everyone watching before the screen breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Jiang Bin sighed and remarked, "The little guy Xu Han certainly has plenty of tricks up his sleeve."
Liang Xingteng smiled and nodded, "Indeed."
"He has sparred with Xiao Wang so many times before. Unless Xiao Wang goes all out, he always ends up suffering losses at Xu Han's hands."
"As for these people, it goes without saying."
Wang Yuan looked a bit embarrassed.
Having such a humiliating matter brought up in public made him wish he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
***
Li Hu's face turned livid with rage.
Gripping his giant axe tightly, he prepared to charge forward once more to execute Xu Han.
Just at that moment, a deep, rumbling sound echoed from beneath the ground.
It felt like a violent earthquake.
The group could barely keep their footing.
Then, the massive sand dune suddenly collapsed, sinking downward toward the earth.
Seeing Xu Han's screen suddenly go black, the spectators before the monitor turned pale with shock.
"What's going on? What happened?" Jiang Bin asked, frowning deeply.
"The ground shook just now. Could some accident have occurred?" Liang Xingteng slowly chimed in.
"For now, we can only check the camera feeds of the others."
Everyone shifted their gaze to the remaining four screens.
***
Far in the distance, Jiang Yucheng and his companions heard the commotion and felt their expressions shift as they hurried toward the source.
Standing at the edge of the sand dune and looking ahead, they saw a gigantic crater had formed.
Peering down from the rim, the interior was pitch-black, resembling a bottomless abyss.
Astonishment filled everyone's faces.
Earlier, they had all seen Xu Han fighting the people from Annam on that very spot.
However, because it was too dark, coupled with Xu Han's warning, Jiang Yucheng had stopped the others from going over to help and told them to wait here.
Who could have anticipated that the sand dune would suddenly collapse?
Now, not only were the people from Annam gone, but Xu Han had vanished as well.
His fate was completely unknown.
Yet, falling down a crater this deep meant the probability of survival was near zero.
Despair crept into the hearts of everyone present.
Not just them—even the individuals watching before the screens wore looks of utter shock.
"What is going on? How could such a massive crater appear? Is the desert hollow underneath?"
Wang Yuan clenched his fists and spoke through clenched teeth.
Ye Yuanzheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Perhaps something is hidden beneath this earth."
Liang Xingteng's voice turned hoarse. "But... falling from such a height... I'm afraid..."
Everyone fell silent.
Judging purely from the visual feed, this crater was easily over a hundred meters deep.
Plummeting from that height, unless one was a Shield Warrior of Tier 4 or above with an exceptionally high physique, certain death awaited them.
Ni Wei scoffed dismissively, "Dead is dead, it's just one person."
"Trading his life for the entire Annam squad, his death was worth it."
Wang Yuan clenched his fists so hard they cracked, pronouncing each word with deliberate fury: "Shut up!"
Ni Wei frowned, opening his mouth to retort, only to find everyone else staring at him with hostile glares.
He said coldly, "What? Am I wrong?"
"Compared to the treasure inside, what is a single human life worth?"
Wang Yuan's eyes gradually turned bloodshot.
"Say that to me again, you motherfucker!"
Clenching his fists, a terrifying murderous aura instantly erupted from his body.
At this moment, he resembled a crazed beast.
Stamping hard on the ground, he lunged furiously toward Ni Wei.
Panic flashed across Ni Wei's face as he stumbled back a couple of steps.
His bodyguard hurriedly stepped forward to block the path.
Liang Xingteng reached out and grabbed Wang Yuan by the arm.
Trembling with rage, Wang Yuan finally managed to halt his steps.
Ye Yuanzheng narrowed his eyes, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number.
A stern voice came through the receiver: "Hello, who is this?"
Ye Yuanzheng stated coldly, "Nan Yuansi, get your ass over to Spring City right now!"
The voice on the other end paused in clear astonishment before asking in confusion, "Principal?!"
Ye Yuanzheng glanced sideways at Ni Wei. "If you don't want me to visit you personally to beat some sense into you, I am giving you two hours to appear before me!"
"And keep a proper leash on your dog! Don't make me handle it myself!"
With that, he hung up the phone immediately, giving Nan Yuansi no room for refusal.
The others stared at Ye Yuanzheng in utter bewilderment.
They were extremely familiar with the Headmaster's voice and naturally recognized it as belonging to Nan Yuansi.
Only...
They had never heard anyone dare to speak to the Headmaster in such a manner!
Utterly霸气 ( domineering)!
Ye Yuanzheng glanced at Ni Wei again. "Since you're Nan Yuansi's dog, it's not my place to discipline you, so I'll let him do it himself shortly!"
Ni Wei's face turned ashen.
He never imagined that Ye Yuanzheng would directly summon the Headmaster himself!
His entire body trembled.
If the Headmaster were to hear what he had just said...
Wouldn't that mean...
Seeing Ni Wei's pale, bloodless face, the anger in Wang Yuan subsided by more than half.
The rest of the group glanced briefly at Ni Wei, too lazy to bother with him further, and turned their attention back to the screens, pondering potential solutions.
