Chapter 410 Hopeless
Lu Yu returned to Xu Yuan and the others amidst everyone’s shocked gazes.
“What does he mean by countering them?” Zhao Kuan was still confused.
He suddenly realized that Lu Yu’s pair of dragon claws were composed of light elements. Light was the bane of all darkness, and it was because of this that Lu Yu could counter these undead warriors.
“So that’s how it is…”
He heaved a long sigh of relief. If Lu Yu were really as powerful as he once assumed, his worldview would probably collapse.
But even so, Lu Yu’s strength was still through the roof. Those two dodges were not something any student could do.
Even if the others have light elemental skills, they might not be able to achieve the same effect as Lu Yu.
“Lu Yu… he saved all of us!”
Zhao Kuan stood up and looked at the crowd. “If Lu Yu didn’t help out today, we would all be dead. Lu Yu is our savior!”
He shouted loudly, and the crowd also nodded in agreement.
“That’s right. Without Lu Yu’s help, we would be dead!”
“Fortunately, Lu Yu helped out in time. Otherwise, Zhao Kuan would’ve been killed, along with us.”
“Our savior! Lu Yu is our great savior!
“…”
These seniors were all grateful for what happened, although they felt slightly embarrassed by a junior saving them. They didn’t ignore Lu Yu’s contributions just because he was a junior.
Of course, some were adamant and unwilling to admit that a junior had saved them. However, they were immediately isolated by the crowd.
Lu Yu had returned to Xu Yuan’s side.
“See? I told you not to worry about me. I can handle it.”
Xu Yuan nodded helplessly and replied, “You’d better be more careful in the future. Fighting these enemies is simple because you just so happen to counter them. It’ll be bad if you’re still this reckless when you meet a stronger enemy.”
Lu Yu shrugged and smiled. “I’m a rational person. If I face an enemy I can’t beat, I won’t force myself to fight; Duan Zhenglin is a perfect example. I’ll definitely lose if I face him, so that’s why I’m not in that battle.”
They looked at Duan Zhenglin as they spoke.
The instructors still surrounded Duan Zhenglin. He was already covered in wounds, and his stamina was exhausted.
The other instructors fighting with him had also used up most of their energy. They were basically fighting at their limits.
The battle was getting increasingly intense, and it was difficult to determine the victor. However, Duan Zhenglin had a higher chance of winning overall.
The instructors’ only advantage was that they fought as a group. If they continued this way, their advantage would gradually disappear once Duan Zhenglin slowly reduced their numbers.
However, it wasn’t appropriate for the students to intervene. A battle at this level wasn’t something the students could interfere with even if they wanted.
Even Zhao Kuan, who was ranked third on the combat power ranking, would find it difficult to last more than five exchanges against Duan Zhenglin.
Although they were at the final stage of the battle, the students didn’t dare interfere.
“There are barely any enemies left in the sea of fire. I think we will completely eliminate them soon,” quipped Lu Yu.
Compared to before, there were clearly fewer undead warriors, and their battles were getting more manageable.
“The credit is all on you. You alone killed at least a third of them.” Xu Yuan said.
Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders and didn’t say much. Of course, his kill count would be first, with his Light Dragon Claw and all.
He raised his head and looked up into the sky to check on Jiang Lengyue. Under her control, the Death Spirit Dragon hadn’t spewed any fireballs in their direction.
Jiang Lengyue’s control was still going strong, but she still couldn’t defeat the dragon, and there was no hope for that happening.
Lu Yu lifted his head and looked up at the sky, locking his gaze on Jiang Lengyue.
At that moment, Jiang Lengyue seemed to be falling.
“The Dean is falling from the sky!”
Lu Yu exclaimed, making Xu Yuan, Han Xuefei, Wang Meng, and the rest look at the sky. To their astonishment, they discovered that Jiang Lengyue was rapidly falling from the heavens.
“It seems that she has reached her limit.” Xu Yuan sighed.
“If even the Dean can’t do anything about the dragon, will this be the end?” Han Xuefei’s usually stoic face was replaced by panic. In the face of danger, not even she could continue to be calm and collected.
“The Dean should be fine as she doesn’t seem injured. Her mana should just be exhausted, being the reason for her fall.”
Lu Yu studied as he stared at her.
“That’s right. It seems like that’s the case. This Death Spirit Dragon isn’t as easy to deal with as we initially thought.”
Xu Yuan frowned. Was there really no way to break out of this situation?
“I hope the heavens will bless us and give us a way out…”
Wang Meng, like everyone else, felt helpless in the face of their dire situation.
Very quickly, Jiang Lengyue descended in their direction.
She landed in the crowd, and the students surrounded her as they began to ask questions.
“Dean, are you alright?”
“Dean, can that dragon be defeated? Do we still have hope?”
“The upper house is going to be destroyed! What are we going to do?”
“Dean, you’re calling the shots here, and there must be a way out of this!”
“Dean, you are supposed to be our savior. No one else can save us other than you!”
“If even the Dean can’t do anything about it, then we will die here…”
As Jiang Lengyue stood up, her petite face was pale, and her limbs were trembling. Clearly, she had exhausted all her energy, along with her mana.
“I can’t find a way to kill it. My attacks do not affect it as it doesn’t have a physical body.”
Hearing this, Zhao Kuan and the others felt despair as they knew how difficult it was for her.
Zhao Kuan was a boxer, and he had always enjoyed the feeling of hitting his opponent with his fists; fighting an ethereal enemy was probably torture to him.
“What can we do to overcome this crisis? Is the upper house really going to be destroyed here?”
Zhao Kuan exclaimed in grief. He had just seen his two old friends off, and he slowly descended into desperation when he couldn’t see even a glimmer of hope.
“I’ll try my best to stop the Death Spirit Dragon from spitting more flames in our direction.”
She pondered for a moment and continued, “It’s been almost a day, so the outside world should have received the news. Hang in there, as there will be reinforcements!”
Jiang Lengyue gave words of encouragement, calming down the students. The last thing she wanted was for them to have a mental breakdown.
After that, Jiang Lengyue took out a bottle made of pure gold; inside was some highly effective mana recovery medicine.
She drank it in one gulp, and soon, her mana began to recover. Her pale face looked much better after a moment.
“Duan Zhenglin is still alive? How could this be?”
She clearly recalled that she had wrapped Duan Zhenglin in a solid block of lava before she flew up. How did he manage to survive?
