Chapter 414 Turning Point

This disaster brought significant losses to the upper house. They had lost countless future geniuses, which was a tragedy for the entire Freedom Federation.

Hence, the first thing Jiang Lengyue had to ensure was Lu Yu’s survival. If Lu Yu were to die here, it would be a ma.s.sive blow to everyone!

Jiang Lengyue took Lu Yu along and approached the Death Spirit Dragon. She looked at Lu Yu and asked, “Are you confident?”

Lu Yu was silent for a moment. The cold wind in the sky blew his hair around, and he saw that they were near the Death Spirit Dragon.

“Let me try it. Even if it doesn’t work, we can still escape.”

Jiang Lengyue replied, “It’s true that we are out of ideas now. There’s no way out and no way back. If we fail, you must understand that I can only bring you away.”

In Jiang Lengyue’s eyes, Lu Yu was her last trace of hope.

However, in the eyes of the group of people on the ground, there was no longer any hope but despair.

In that group of people, only Xu Yuan was hoping from the bottom of his heart that Lu Yu could turn the tide.

Amidst everyone’s despair, Lu Yu approached the Death Spirit Dragon.

“Try to hold on for a while longer…”

Jiang Lengyue nodded, “I will try my best. However, I’ve used up too much of my mana, and I don’t have much left now. I will bring you away if you cannot defeat this dragon.”

“If you want me to buy you as much time as possible, it means that I can only bring you alone to leave this place once we fail.”

At this point, Jiang Lengyue’s face was filled with sorrow.

There were still many core members of the upper house below, especially the instructors. If they all died here, the upper house wouldn’t exist anymore.

If the instructors survived, even if all the students died, the core of the upper house would still be there. They could continually expand their enrollment and grow strong again.

Jiang Lengyue chose to trust Lu Yu and tried her best to buy time for him, betting on the lives of all the survivors in the upper house. But if she didn’t, she could still quickly bring these people out of this place with the remaining mana she had.

After knowing how much trust Jiang Lengyue had in him, Lu Yu also started to get serious.

His hands simultaneously switched to his Dark Dragon Claws.

At that moment, the Death Spirit Dragon’s flapping wings stopped for a moment. Then, it continued to flap its wings and adjusted its posture, turning to look at Lu Yu.

The pair of eyes burning with green flames looked straight at Lu Yu as if they could see through his soul.

The next moment, Lu Yu activated his skill, Absorb!

An invisible suction force connected the two of them, and the dark energy inside the Death Spirit Dragon’s body began to flow into Lu Yu’s body.

The Death Spirit Dragon flapped its wings violently when it felt its life force being absorbed.

However, its wings didn’t have a physical body, so it couldn’t do any damage to Lu Yu.

After that, it started to gather flames in its mouth, planning to throw them at Lu Yu.

Jiang Lengyue saw this and used her telekinesis to maneuver them around rapidly, avoiding the fireball.

Seeing that its attack had no effect, the dragon flapped its wings and immediately turned to escape.

Jiang Lengyue hurriedly brought Lu Yu along and followed behind.

“It’s working. I didn’t expect you to really be able to hurt it!”

Jiang Lengyue looked at Lu Yu in surprise. But, although he had caused damage to the dragon, there was still one crucial problem. They had no idea how long it would take for Lu Yu to absorb enough energy to be deadly to the Death Spirit Dragon.

“I wasn’t too confident at first, and I didn’t expect it to really work. My Dark Dragon Claw’s absorption speed is much faster than I expected!”

To Lu Yu’s surprise, the rate at which he absorbed the dark elemental energy of the undead warrior was much slower than at which he absorbed the dark elemental energy of the Death Spirit Dragon. It was as if he was absorbing something that belonged to him!

“I’ll continue to help you complete that, and then only decide what to do according to the situation after that!”

While Jiang Lengyue was estimating how long she could last, she was also carefully observing the state of the Death Spirit Dragon. At least for now, the Death Spirit Dragon was fleeing in a panic and didn’t seem to be in a critical state.

However, the effect would soon be apparent if they continued this chase.

High up in the sky, Lu Yu and Jiang Lengyue chased after the Death Spirit Dragon, causing it to stop spewing flames.

This made everyone relax quite a bit.

“I didn’t expect his skill to be effective. It really dealt some damage to the dragon!”

“This young man is sure of something else. I thought he was bulls.h.i.tting; who’d expect him to have such ability?”

“Don’t be happy too early. He might not have caused any harm to the dragon and only drove it away temporarily. The result is not set in stone.”

“Ha, the Death Spirit Dragon is an ancient divine dragon. How can he defeat it? ”

“That’s true. If even the Dean can’t do anything, how could he possibly have the strength to do so?”

The experienced instructors were certain that Lu Yu couldn’t kill the dragon. The difference in their strengths was just too great!

If even Jiang Lengyue couldn’t do it, no one in the upper house would be able to.

“This is just a waste of time. It’s better to take us and leave this place quickly!”

“I know, right? I thought he had some way to deal with it, but he only temporarily drove away the Death Spirit Dragon. That’s useless!”

“If the Dean takes us out of here now, we still have a chance to live. If she continues to let Lu Yu do whatever he wants, we might all die here!”

“I hope she can be more rational and not take unrealistic hopes too seriously!”

Among the instructors and students, not many of them felt that Lu Yu had the ability to kill the dragon. To them, this was something impossible.

If Lu Yu, a freshman, could kill the Death Spirit Dragon, wouldn’t that mean the seniors and the highly respected instructors were useless?

While everyone was filled with despair, Duan Zhenglin was still fighting. With his Dark Star talent, he could sustain himself in a battle for a long time and recover the health and stamina he had lost quickly.

When these instructors fought with him, they could only even the odds.

At that moment, Duan Zhenglin, whom a few instructors surrounded, scanned his surroundings and sneered.

“You guys are too useless. So many of you are fighting against me but can’t defeat me. I’ve already won!”

More than a dozen instructors fought just one person, but there was no result after all this time. Duan Zhenglin was considered to have won, and no one would have any chance of winning if they were to fight him one-on-one.

“Duan Zhenglin, don’t be so arrogant. If you had not absorbed the Death Spirit Dragon’s power, you would have died there and then!”

Duan Zhenglin burst into laughter upon hearing that. “Hahahaha, I’ll continue to absorb the power of the Death Spirit Dragon even after I defeat you all. By then, all of you will be dead anyway!”
