Chapter 264: Emergency
“Something happened!”
A cry suddenly sounded in the spaceship’s hall, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
Sun Xiangren was discussing a problem with a subordinate when he was suddenly interrupted by this exclamation. He frowned and looked in the direction of the voice, only to discover that it was coming from the monitoring department of the examinees. His heart immediately tightened and he hurriedly walked over.
“What is it?”
The staff member of Star Cloud Academy who was in charge of monitoring the examinees’ situation in real time pointed at the virtual screen in front of him and said with a frightened expression, “There’s… there’s an examinee and… and a C-rank beast fighting!”
“What!”
Sun Xiangren was shocked and hurriedly looked at the virtual screen. He saw that on the real-time monitoring map, a huge red dot was flashing non-stop.
Unlike the ordinary red light dot that represented a D-rank beast, this red light dot was not only larger but also brighter. There were only three on the entire terrain map, representing the only three C-rank beasts on Continent 3. It was very dazzling.
Now, a green light dot representing the examinees had already completely overlapped with this huge red light dot. Moreover, it was almost completely enveloped and almost disappeared.
This meant that this examinee had clearly collided with this C-rank beast!
“Why didn’t you discover it in advance? Why did you have to inform me after they collided?” With just a glance, Sun Xiangren immediately became anxious and roared at the staff who was still in a daze, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and confirm their location? Also, pull out the information of this examinee and this C-rank beast!”
After instructing, Sun Xiangren looked around but did not see Zhao Zhiming. He immediately roared.
“Where are the people from the rescue team? Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and prepare a rescue team. I want you to arrive in two minutes!”
With Sun Xiangren’s roar, the spaceship was immediately in chaos.
“Director Sun, I’ve found out that this C-rank beast’s number is ZT-81718. According to the information provided by the Declan Empire, it’s a Storm Killer King. It should be the leader of this large area. It…”
“Cut the crap.” Sun Datong interrupted him bluntly, “Tell me, how’s the strength of this bullsh*t Storm Killer King? Do ordinary Internal Breath Martial Artists have any hope of escaping from it?”
The staff glanced at the introduction on the virtual screen and swallowed his saliva with difficulty.
“This… Although the Storm Killer King is not especially strong among C-rank ferocious beasts, ordinary Internal Breath Realm Martial Artists are definitely not its match. As for escaping… Although the Storm Killer King is huge in size, its movements are very agile and its speed is shocking. If his luck is bad…”
He did not continue, but the meaning of his words was obvious.
Sun Xiangren’s expression sank. He looked at the virtual screen and discovered that the green dot had been enveloped by a huge red dot. There was no sign of it leaving, proving that the examinee had not been able to leave. He became even more anxious.
“Why doesn’t this damned guy immediately release the energy barrier? Does he really want to die?”
If this examinee could activate the energy barrier in time when he discovered the C-rank ferocious beast, the Storm Killer King, he should be able to last until the rescue team arrived.
However, he was afraid that he did not recognize this C-rank beast and treated it as an ordinary D-rank beast to fight. He did not even have the intention to activate the energy shield.
If that was the case, he might not be able to last until the rescue team arrived.
“What’s this examinee’s current state? Is there any response?” Sun Xiangren asked in a low voice.
In order to ensure the safety of every examinee, not only did Star Cloud Academy distribute an energy protection device to each of them before the test, but they also implanted a special program in their personal terminals that could detect the situation of every examinee through the temporary release of satellites. Only then could they accurately determine their location.
Through this special program, it could also detect the general physical condition of these examinees.
That staff member operated it nervously. While he heaved a sigh of relief, he also looked a little surprised.
“From his state, he seems to be fine for the time being…”
“Is he really fine?” Sun Xiangren did not believe it.
That was a C-rank ferocious beast. To these examinees who were at most at the fifth-stage Internal Breath Realm, it was almost impossible to resist.
It had been a few minutes since this examinee had come into contact with the Storm Killer King, but he was still fine?
Sun Xiangren’s mind stirred, and he asked, “Who is this examinee? Is it Feng Mingxi? Or Angie Prairie?”
In Sun Xiangren’s opinion, only Feng Mingxi and Angie Prairie, these two examinees who had an intimate relationship with Star-Grade Martial Artists, could have some special methods and persist in the face of a C-rank beast.
Among the other examinees, even Rudy Karl, who was currently ranked second and was extremely famous among the young martial artists of the Earth Federation and was also a disciple of a famous Heaven Control Realm expert, found it very difficult to do.
“No… it’s not the two of them. It’s…” The staff hesitated for a moment and his expression became strange, “It’s Chu Nan.”
“Chu Nan?” Sun Xiangren was stunned, “Why is it him? Didn’t he just break through to the Internal Breath Realm not long ago? How can he block the Storm… No, he must have thought of a way to hide!”
Thinking of this, Sun Xiangren heaved a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, this kid is smart enough. Otherwise, if he really encountered this Storm Killer King, he would be dead.”
The staff looked at the real-time state of Chu Nan displayed on the virtual screen and frowned as he shook his head.
“Director Sun, I’m afraid it’s not what you guessed. This Chu Nan… should be fighting with the Storm Killer King now.”
“Fight? How is that possible?!” Sun Xiangren naturally did not believe it, “He’s only an initial-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. Fighting a C-rank beast? Does he want to die?”
“Look…” The staff pointed at the monitoring data of Chu Nan’s physical condition that was about to be pulled out on the virtual screen, “His data fluctuations are so huge and frequent. I’m certain that he should be in an intense battle. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be like this.”
“Then why did you…” Sun Xiangren opened his mouth and immediately stopped.
He thought for a moment and opened another virtual screen. He shouted at the rescue team who were already ready on the surface of the Beast Garden Planet’s Continent 3, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and set off to rescue them!”
The leader of the rescue team looked at Sun Xiangren and hesitated.
“Director Sun, this examinee did not send out a distress signal or enter a state of being forced to seek help. If we rush over like this… what should we do?”
“Hmm?”
Sun Xiangren was stunned for a moment before realizing.
According to the rules that Star Cloud Academy had stated to the examinees, once the examinees accepted the rescue, it meant that they had lost their qualifications for this test.
However, Chu Nan had not sent out any distress signal until now. His current state did not show that he had to receive help. If he sent the rescue team over now, should they save him?
“Alright, go watch first. As long as you see that his life is in danger, immediately save him. Don’t care about the details.”
“Then what if… what if he defeats this Storm Killer King and doesn’t encounter any danger?” the leader asked.
“Impossible! He’s only an initial-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. How can he be a match for a C-rank beast? Go quickly. I’m afraid it’ll be too late if you’re late.”
The leader and the other staff members of the rescue team looked at each other, nodded, and left.
Seeing that they had already set off, Sun Xiangren was slightly relieved.
He turned around and looked at the virtual screen that displayed the monitoring request again. He discovered that the green dot representing Chu Nan was still shining firmly and was not completely covered by the huge red dot representing the Storm Killer King.
“Hmph, he wants to defeat a C-rank beast? This kid is simply ignorant!”
