---

The atmosphere turned cold around Lu Chang; it was certain that Qin Yue was already at work.

The Dao caves were very vast; they were created by mana imbalances. Every day, about 20 get made, and all forest creatures inhabit them, because of how rich they were in resources.

The spiders immediately hopped down in their numbers, and Qin Yue was immediately cornered as she tried to use her spatial blasts.

Ice waves rocked the cave from head to bottom, informing other creatures of their presence.

Lu Chang quickly channeled up his core as he prepared to use the Dual Spirit Storm.

He closed his hands, and no matter what, he held himself up.

Suddenly, a large storm of ice fell from above, freezing all spider creatures around her.

Just as he thought he might have conquered all of them, a few that were able to escape jumped off the roof of the cave; sharp-minded Lu Chang ducked out of the way as they fell to the ground.

'Can I control the storm?' Lu Chang thought as he began contemplating a lot of things.

Definitely, all his skills were somehow tied to that of his students, so if he had an AWS-sending fire user right now, he might have been able to create a firestorm.

Lu Chang finally closed his eyes one more time as he tried to summon the storm of ice again, but this time he tried to wield it.

It was extremely hard, as though he was pushing against solid concrete. Doubt began to creep into his mind as the spiders finally climbed onto his body.

The pain of their sharp claws sent jolts of pain and adrenaline through his body.

Their needle-like teeth started nibbling on his body as they made their way to his core.

Lu Chang could feel it; they were already digging in, only inches away from crippling him.

In the nick of time, he finally changed his plans as he grew desperate for survival.

Instead of gaining deep control, he decided to change the direction of the flow continually until it formed a mini ice tornado, raising his attackers from the ground up and striking them flat on the ground.

Dismantling them whole.

"Teacher Changgggg," Qin Yue shouted as Lu Chang turned toward her direction. She had to hold back, and it was killing her. With only her aerial attack, she was down and surrounded, and from afar it already looked like she was being devoured by them.

Lu Chang panicked and leaped forward; using the same technique, he obliterated the creatures in less than a second.

But the deed was already done; he could see a hole right where her core was meant to be. His heart shattered immediately, but there was no time wasted. He laid her carefully on the ground as the cave rattled, fragments of it falling down.

'This cave is not going to last long,' he thought, gradually turning as he sensed a gigantic spider-like creature. It had three heads and very sharp spear legs.

Lu Chang was shocked; the creature towered, slime dripping from its mouth. There was no way forward from here.

Without warning, the creature attacked again. Lu Chang jumped to the side, dodging the dagger-looking limbs of the creature. Lu Chang fell awkwardly, so he couldn't recover immediately, but strangely, the creature didn't attack him.

It was instead looking to go for Qin Yue, who was on the floor. Without even thinking, Lu Chang plunged up immediately. Out of sheer will, he summoned the Divine Storm technique yet again, but it was no use as the beast struck him hard into the wall of the cave.

Blood gushed out of his mouth as he couldn't help but watch the creature approach Qin Yue.

"This can't happen, you bastard. I will sever your head from your body, I promise," Lu Chang said in anger. He couldn't believe he couldn't even save his own student.

The beast turned and shot him a disgusting look as it approached Qin Yue's body.

[Notification!!!]

[Beast weakness discovered]

[A book has been made.]

Lu Chang's eyes widened as he read the messages.

Lu Chang had to take the gamble. The time he spent in the Divine Lust Library was not being counted as normal time; in reality, he could still move.

Lu Chang immediately entered the library; deep down, he was scared he might actually be wrong, but he had no other option. He was just in the Vein Concealment Realm, so his technique wasn't evolved; all his strikes were still weak.

The only way to survive was to know the weakness. He did it against Wei Fang—why couldn't it work against these creatures?

Lu Chang rushed through the information the library gave him; from what he could see, this beast was at the fourth level of their cultivation.

They were called Killer Spiders and attacked like other beasts, only going for the core of individuals.

Lu Chang, despite knowing this, was not satisfied; he was looking for the actual weakness. He didn't care about the history at this moment.

After searching, he finally discovered something stranger than usual; the book talked about the Queen Mother with three heads.

She was actually very vulnerable, since her core was located on her back. It wasn't as though that meant she was useless, but all Lu Chang needed to do was hit her at the exact spot, and that would be enough.

With this knowledge, he finally rematerialized in the cave, but almost immediately he could feel the huge pain wrap around him again.

The walls of the cave were already rapidly failing; it would collapse very soon.

Lu Chang only needed to strike at the back, but there was no energy to do that. Was this going to be the end? Lu Chang thought as the creature approached Qin Yue in the corner.

No, this can't be happening. He only wanted to train her, and now he might have killed them both. Lu Chang held himself up slightly, but fell down again.

    The noise of the arena no longer felt overwhelming. It felt… focused. The number of participants had dropped significantly. Where there had once been dozens of voices, now only a handful remained. The air itself seemed heavier, filled with pressure and expectation. Tang Mo crossed her arms, staring at the board. “…We’re close.” Qin Yue stood beside her, silent, her breathing steady. Lu Chang didn’t look at the board. He was watching the arena. Always watching. A new set of names appeared. Tang Mo vs Lin Qiao Qin Yue vs Han Lei Tang Mo frowned slightly. “…Lin Qiao?” Qin Yue spoke quietly. “She’s known for speed.” Tang Mo smirked. “…Good.” “Next match!” “Qin Yue vs Han Lei!” Qin Yue stepped forward without hesitation.
