Chapter 122: Run! This Bald Guy is a Hexagonal Warrior!

In the blink of an eye, President Chen and his group lost sight of Chen Ye.

Old Sun swallowed nervously and exclaimed, "Even his speed is terrifying? Is he really compatible with S15? Then what about mine?"

"It doesn't matter what talent he's compatible with! He's our teammate now!" Principal Lu stood up and shouted, "Our main objective now is to snatch the Elemental Demon's crystal core!"

President Chen followed, "Let's go! Keep up with Long Aotian!"

The three of them immediately followed suit.

The mountain wasn't far.

They chose to walk.

As fifth-tier powerhouses, their speed wasn't slow.

...

Chen Ye was running at full speed.

In just a few minutes, he reached the foot of the mountain.

At that moment, the base of the mountain was crowded with people.

All of them had heard the news and were preparing to fight for the Elemental Demon.

"Whoosh!"

Chen Ye swept past, creating a strong gust of wind.

Many people were blown to the point where they couldn't open their eyes.

"What the hell was that? It just zipped by!"

"Jason, did you see it?"

"No, it was too fast. I only saw a black shadow..."

"F**K! With that speed, it has to be a sixth-tier powerhouse."

"Should we still go?"

Similar scenes occurred wherever Chen Ye went.

These third and fourth-tier experts couldn't comprehend Chen Ye's current speed.

But the fifth-tier experts could barely keep up with Chen Ye's movements.

At that moment, several fifth-tier foreign fighters were heading up the mountain together.

When Chen Ye's figure swiftly passed by them, they were startled, thinking it was an enemy attack.

When they realized it was a human figure dashing up the mountain like lightning, they were all shocked.

Within two breaths, they lost sight of Chen Ye.

"Damn it! This guy's agility attribute must be over 1500 points!"

"Wasn't there supposed to be only one speed-oriented sixth-tier powerhouse here? Where did this one come from?"

"Could it be the new sixth-tier powerhouse who defeated Monk Shiwu?"

"To beat Monk Shiwu, you'd need powerful attack strength, not such speed."

"Let's hurry up and support Rick..."

...

Moments later.

Chen Ye reached the mountain top.

To his surprise, the mountain top was crowded with people too.

Chen Ye had thought, given his speed, he'd be the first to reach the top.

It seemed these people had been here all along, and they had just found the Elemental Demon's hiding place.

As Chen Ye leaped into the crowd, he noticed something extremely strange.

Everyone on the mountain top was killing each other!

All of them had bloodshot eyes, their faces fierce, fighting desperately against those around them, striking to kill.

Even if the person next to them was a companion, it made no difference.

Seeing this, Chen Ye immediately thought of one word: Illusion!

Could the Elemental Demon use illusions?

At this moment, someone nearby noticed Chen Ye and immediately raised their weapon, attacking him.

Chen Ye had no interest in wasting time with these weaklings.

He just wanted to quickly kill the Elemental Demon, get the crystal core, and handle everything before his father, President Chen, arrived.

He didn't want President Chen to step into danger.

Easily dodging the attacks, Chen Ye scanned around and quickly spotted a flame-covered figure lurking on the outskirts of the crowd.

Seeing this fiery figure, Chen Ye suddenly understood why the authorities named such a creature the Elemental Demon.

Its upper body resembled a human, but its lower body had four legs, and its face had three pairs of eyes, like spider eyes, making it look extremely creepy.

To describe it in one sentence: It looked like a demon crawling out of hell!

At this moment, the Elemental Demon was watching the humans killing each other, its six eyes showing a human-like sneer.

It seemed to relish the feeling of controlling others' lives.

Once Chen Ye identified his target, he dashed toward the Elemental Demon without hesitation.

The Elemental Demon, sensing the powerful human, locked all six eyes on Chen Ye and opened its mouth, letting out a high-decibel screech.

"Whoosh—"

Instantly, Chen Ye felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if needles were stabbing into his skull.

"Hmm?"

Chen Ye grunted, feeling dizzy, and had to stop in his tracks.

When he regained clarity, he realized his nose was bleeding.

Now he was certain that the Elemental Demon could indeed use psychic attacks.

Fortunately, he had invested almost all of his potential points in mental attributes in the secret realm, giving him high mental resistance.

Otherwise, he would have been affected just like the others.

Wiping off the nosebleed, Chen Ye looked at the Elemental Demon, his expression darkening.

No wonder this damned thing was hard to find.

It could use illusions. If someone had found it before, they might have perished silently.

Seeing that this human wasn't affected by its psychic attack, the Elemental Demon's six eyes, which initially held a mocking look, now showed panic.

Then, it turned and fled.

"Trying to run after showing off?"

Chen Ye snorted coldly and rushed toward the Elemental Demon.

With his speed, if this thing could escape, he'd write his name backwards!

"Go! Find the Elemental Demon."

"Hurry up, don't let them get ahead of us."

"With Sir Edward here, the Elemental Demon's crystal core will definitely belong to the Dain Empire! You all better leave now!"

"Ignore them, let's move..."

At the foot of the mountain.

Countless people were shouting as they charged toward the summit.

From a rough estimate, there were at least one to two thousand people!

Among these, the weakest were veteran third-tier fighters, with fourth-tiers being the main force, and quite a few fifth-tier experts as well.

When President Chen and Principal Lu arrived, they saw the throngs of people forming dense groups, swarming towards the summit.

Principal Lu, sweating coldly, couldn't help but say, "Old Chen, to be frank, with just the three of us, the hope of grabbing the Elemental Demon's crystal core is slim!"

President Chen nodded, his expression grim.

The more people there were, the fiercer the competition would be!

"Luckily, we have Long Aotian!" Old Sun remarked. "I wonder where he is now."

"With his speed, he should be at the summit by now, right?" Principal Lu had just finished speaking when they saw a young man with his face covered walking toward them. As he approached, he removed his mask, revealing his true identity.

"Long Aotian?!"

President Chen exclaimed and quickly asked, "How did you...?"

Chen Ye waved his hand to stop President Chen's inquiry and directly said, "Let's go back."

"Go back?" Old Sun instinctively asked, "Aren't we going to fight for the Elemental Demon's crystal core?"

"Oh! It's already in my hands."

Gasp!

The three were shocked, finding it hard to believe!!

They had just reached the foot of the mountain, and Long Aotian had already finished everything and grabbed the Elemental Demon's crystal core?

Wow!

Brother, you're amazing!

Your speed... is truly incredible!!

So incredible it feels like cheating!

Luckily, the three of them were seasoned individuals who had seen many ups and downs. They quickly regained their composure and tacitly kept quiet, without making a fuss.

"Let's go, we'll talk later."

President Chen said in a low voice.

The group started heading back, in the opposite direction of everyone else.

This behavior was unusual.

But it wasn't a big deal.

Because.

There were quite a few people who wanted to withdraw from the competition for the Elemental Demon.

They probably saw the fierce competition and, lacking any top-tier experts on their side, decided to withdraw to avoid being cannon fodder.

Although the authorities had prohibited random killing, in such situations, once people went crazy with competition, who could guarantee they could avoid fatal strikes?

It could easily turn into a chaotic battle!

Without strength, withdrawing was the right choice.

...

Moments later.

The group returned to the camp.

Then.

President Chen immediately ordered the staff of the association to retreat.

Next, the four of them boarded a transport aircraft and headed back to Lin'an City.

There was no dramatic incident of information leaking or being pursued by strong enemies during their departure.

Mainly because they moved too fast.

Even if someone noticed them, they had already boarded the aircraft, so how could they be stopped?

A few hours later.

The transport aircraft landed safely on the rooftop of the association building.

Only then did President Chen heave a sigh of relief.

Upon reaching President Chen's office, Chen Ye took out a box from his coat and handed it to President Chen.

The box was something Chen Ye had prepared in advance.

He was worried that the Elemental Demon's crystal core might emit some sort of radiation, and even if they got it, they wouldn't be able to hide it. So, he had prepared a box in advance.

The main material of the box was lead!

Lead is a poor conductor and highly resistant to corrosion, making it an excellent material for shielding against radiation.

President Chen instinctively opened the box after taking it.

As soon as he opened it, a wisp of flame emerged from the box, startling President Chen.

After the flame dissipated, he could clearly see the contents of the box.

It was a diamond-shaped object, with an entirely red hue.

Fiery red, like an eternal flame that never extinguishes.

Just one look, and President Chen knew it was genuine!

"Long Aotian, thank you, thank you so much, I don't even know how to thank you..."

President Chen was very excited.

His gratitude towards Long Aotian was heartfelt.

Because he knew that if Long Aotian had decided not to hand over the Elemental Demon's crystal core and keep it for himself, there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, there was no law stating that the Elemental Demon's crystal core belonged to Chen.

Not to mention, Long Aotian was so powerful...

With others present, Chen Ye maintained the pretense and said, "President, no need to be so polite with me. I also hope Brother Chen Ye can become stronger."

Saying this, Chen Ye put on a pretense of having urgent matters: "President, I have some urgent business, I'll take my leave... everyone, see you next time."

Hearing it was an urgent matter, President Chen, who initially wanted to retain him, swallowed his words.

Principal Lu and Old Sun, who had just sat down, also stood up to see him off.

"Alright, see you next time." Principal Lu said.

"Long Aotian, come visit Jinnan sometime! I will surely host you well." Old Sun said warmly.

President Chen also said, "Long Aotian, I will transfer your reward to your account as soon as possible."

Chen Ye just nodded, said nothing more, and left directly.

Seeing this, Principal Lu couldn't help but say, "This young man named Long Aotian has a great character!"

"Trustworthy and loyal, a reliable person." Old Sun nodded in agreement, then sighed, "It's a pity I'm old, otherwise, I would have sworn brotherhood with him."
