I Can Extract Abilities – Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Beast Swarm Assault

The exchange students from the Sea Eagle Empire didn’t stay long in Daqian City.

Just a few hours later, a silver airship ascended and departed from Daqian City.

Not long after, the news of Li Feng’s decisive victory over the Sea Eagle Empire students spread like wildfire, filling the students of Daqian City’s academies with pride.

“Haha, they came here so arrogantly, but they crawled back obediently. They really thought the people from the Sea Eagle Empire were all that powerful. Li Feng is mighty!”

William and the others were excessively arrogant and employed ruthless tactics, earning the disgust of the people of Great Xia Nation. Upon learning of their defeat, everyone rejoiced.

However, some were worried: “The exchange students who came to our Daqian City indeed suffered a setback, but the exchange students who went to other cities have achieved overwhelming victories.”

“There’s nothing we can do about that. Although those from the Sea Eagle Empire are arrogant, their strength is indeed formidable.”

This time, the people who came from the Sea Eagle Empire naturally wouldn’t consist of only William’s team.

Within the Sea Eagle Empire, there are also many powerful academies.

But up to now, only Daqian City has had good news.

The situations in Fengdu Academy and Yanjing Academy are dire. Many have been defeated by the Sea Eagle Empire students and severely humiliated.

“Alas, the power of one person is ultimately limited. I can’t take care of everything.” Li Feng also heard the news and sighed.

In fact, Beihai Academy wasn’t overly joyous upon hearing this news. Although within Great Xia Nation, the three top academies are rivals, it’s still a matter of their own people fighting amongst themselves. Being bullied by outsiders was unacceptable.

That day, Headmaster Chu even called the other two top academies and scolded them, resenting their lack of competence.

“Aren’t you just relying on having Li Feng? Otherwise, would you still be so smug?”

The headmasters of the other two academies were already displeased, but they had indeed suffered a significant loss against those from the Sea Eagle Empire. Initially, when they heard Chu Xun’s scolding, they could only grit their teeth and accept it.

However, they gradually realized that Chu Xun was actually gloating, so they retorted.

…

…

Seven days later!

An Azure Luan soared into the sky from Beihai Academy.

The Azure Luan’s feathers were vibrant, with radiance flowing within them. Its massive body, as wide as a football field, obscured half the sky.

Atop the Azure Luan’s back stood a group of people.

“This time, we may face significant challenges when we go to the Sea Eagle Empire. I hope you won’t be careless.” Shang Yue said with a serious expression.

This time, the accompanying individuals were Li Feng, Lu Feng, Huangfu Yun, and Wu Yong, a total of four people.

Huangfu Yun and the others exchanged glances and replied in deep voices, “Understood.”

When the Sea Eagle Empire exchange students arrived, they were clearing a dungeon and couldn’t get away. However, they learned of their strength from other students and therefore wouldn’t underestimate them.

“It’s a bit of a pity that we missed those guys. I wonder if they’re really that strong.” Lu Feng licked his lips, somewhat regretful.

He truly felt it was a shame, eager to witness the prowess of those foreigners.

Beside him, Wu Yong pondered and said, “Li Feng, haven’t you fought against them? How did you feel about their strength?”

Li Feng glanced at them and said seriously, “Compared to me, they’re weak. But compared to you guys, they’re probably evenly matched.”

Everyone: “…”

Wu Yong felt somewhat disheartened. Li Feng’s words were a bit irritating. However, when he recalled his past jealousy of Li Feng, he now found it laughable.

Because now, they were simply not on the same level.

Lu Feng rolled his eyes and said, “Wu Yong, comparing Li Feng to them is pointless.”

He had self-awareness. While he previously wanted to compare himself to Li Feng, that thought was now completely gone.

“Instructor, you told us not to be careless. Why not just let Li Feng fight alone? He’s guaranteed to sweep them.” Huangfu Yun suddenly interjected.

Everyone fell silent again. There was nothing wrong with what he said!

Shang Yue glanced at them exasperatedly and said, “My warning about carelessness was directed at you four. You’ve all reached the limit of the Professional level and should be preparing for Awakening. This time, I’m taking you out to broaden your horizons and spar with top-notch opponents, which will help you grow.”

In fact, bringing Huangfu Yun and the others to the Sea Eagle Empire also had this consideration. As they were all top talents of Great Xia Nation, they needed to undergo some trials to better develop their potential.

As for slapping the face of the Sea Eagle Empire, Beihai Academy wasn’t that petty. The main reason was that it wasn’t them who were embarrassed this time, but the other two top academies. Let them do the hard work.

Then, Shang Yue turned to Li Feng and said, “This time, you just need to behave and don’t cause trouble.”

He said this after careful consideration. Otherwise, with Li Feng’s age and strength, it would be like cheating.

“Do I look like someone who causes trouble?” Li Feng said sheepishly, then added, “As long as they don’t provoke me first, I won’t make a move.”

Hearing this, Shang Yue sighed again. This was too difficult. Li Feng had just slapped those people in the face not long ago. This time, upon arriving in the Sea Eagle Empire, he would undoubtedly be a prime target, and trouble would be inevitable.

This was also why he was reluctant to bring Li Feng to the Sea Eagle Empire.

The flight was long, as the distance between the Sea Eagle Empire and Great Xia Nation was over thirty thousand li.

Even though this Azure Luan’s strength had reached Peak Awakened Level, its flying speed was only a little over a thousand li per hour. To travel from Great Xia Nation to the Sea Eagle Empire, it would take at least thirty hours.

Moreover, the Azure Luan couldn’t fly at full speed all day, as its stamina wouldn’t allow it.

It needed to rest approximately every five hours, and each rest period required more than twelve hours.

Therefore, it would take Li Feng and the others at least three days to reach the Sea Eagle Empire.

During these days, they would have to spend their time in the wilderness.

“This blue sky looks quite beautiful at first glance, but after looking at it for a long time, it’s just so-so.” Li Feng sat on the Azure Luan, somewhat helplessly.

At first, he was excited to soar in the sky, but after a while, he felt bored.

Moreover, he couldn’t cultivate properly up here, as the Xianxia cultivation system was still a secret. Outsiders all thought it was his Super God State.

Out of boredom, he looked at Huangfu Yun and the others and said earnestly, “You are all the future of Great Xia Nation. You need to work hard this time and don’t embarrass our nation.”

Huangfu Yun, Lu Feng, and the others glared at him. Despite being the same age, he spoke in such an old-fashioned way. Who was he trying to fool?

Shang Yue was also speechless and ignored Li Feng. This kid was purely bored.

“Lu Feng, you seem a bit disgruntled. Are you dissatisfied with me?” Li Feng wanted to find something to do. Seeing Lu Feng’s displeased expression, he smiled.

Lu Feng’s face stiffened. When he initially invited Li Feng, his attitude wasn’t very good. He suspected that Li Feng was looking for an opportunity to teach him a lesson.

So, he quickly said, “No, no, you’re absolutely right.”

Li Feng nodded with satisfaction.

Wu Yong, however, curled his lip: “Such a coward.”

“I heard you looked down on me quite a bit before, Wu Yong. Is that true?” Li Feng squinted at him.

◈◈◈

“No, no.” Wu Yong quickly shook his head, very compliant.

Thus, with their banter and jokes, time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the third day, and they weren’t far from the Sea Eagle Empire.

Below the Azure Luan was a vast ocean.

“I kind of hate the ocean.” Li Feng muttered as he saw the vast expanse of water. He had encountered giant whales twice in the Great Heng Ocean.

Now, he had a bit of a phobia of the sea.

“We should arrive at the Sea Eagle Empire today. I’m going to make those guys pay.” Lu Feng cracked his knuckles, eager for a fight.

The main reason was that Li Feng had been intimidating him for the past few days, and he had pent-up frustration that he wanted to vent. He naturally wouldn’t vent it on Li Feng, as that wouldn’t be venting but rather asking for trouble.

Wu Yong also wanted to howl a few times, but he was afraid of attracting Li Feng’s attention. More importantly, he had indeed been disrespectful to Li Feng in the past, badmouthing him many times. He didn’t know where Li Feng had heard these things from.

“Take it easy, you two.” Shang Yue, seeing this, sternly warned them not to go too far.

Although they were going as exchange students, and the Sea Eagle Empire wouldn’t forcibly detain them, he was afraid things might get out of hand.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings rang out.

“What’s that?” Lu Feng looked up and saw more than a dozen small birds appearing ahead, charging towards the Azure Luan.

After seeing them clearly, Li Feng said, “Those are Harpies, a type of bird. It seems like they’re about to attack us!”

The dozen or so Harpies clearly noticed the Azure Luan, but they showed no fear and flew towards them.

“Aren’t they courting death?” Wu Yong sneered and said, “Let me handle this. It’s just a warm-up before we arrive at the Sea Eagle Empire. It’ll improve my feel for beating up those foreigners later.”

He was still regretting missing William and the others, especially after knowing that they had come to show off their strength. He was furious.

If he had been there, Li Feng wouldn’t have had a chance to act, and he would have already become famous.

“Be careful, something seems amiss.” Li Feng warned.

Generally, flying creatures like these would be suppressed by higher-level beings. They were currently on the back of an Awakened Level Azure Luan, yet these Harpies weren’t afraid. This didn’t seem logical.

“What’s there to be afr—” Wu Yong was about to taunt, but suddenly remembered that the speaker was Li Feng, and immediately changed his tune: “I’ll be careful.”

He drew a large blade, activated a skill, and a sharp blade light swept out, charging towards the Harpies.

Bang! Bang!

Blood splattered. Before the dozen Harpies could get close, they were bisected by the blade light.

“Haha.” Seeing this, Wu Yong laughed, “Just some small fry, daring to attack us. They really have some nerve.”

However, before he could finish speaking, Li Feng interrupted him: “Not good! It’s a Harpy swarm!”

Buzz, buzz!

The vibrating sound of wings, like infrasound, reverberated through the air.

In the distance, a dense swarm of Harpies flew towards them from the horizon, darkening the entire sky.

“No wonder these guys dared to attack us. Turns out they had a large army behind them.” Shang Yue’s face changed slightly as he spoke.

Generally, swarm-type dimensional creatures like these would ignore level suppression.

Wu Yong’s face paled, his previous pride vanishing completely. The vast swarm of Harpies ahead numbered over one hundred thousand. They could be buried alive by sheer numbers.

“Can this Azure Luan withstand them?” Li Feng asked, his expression remaining calm.

Shang Yue shook his head: “It’ll be tough. If there were only a few tens of thousands, we could rely on the level difference to break through. Prepare for battle and help the Azure Luan clear a path!”

Although Awakened Level dimensional creatures could crush Professional Level ones, a swarm of one hundred thousand could simply overwhelm them with sheer numbers.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided.

Rumble…

Blazing thunderbolts descended from the sky, striking the Harpies and creating a small gap, which was quickly filled.

The Azure Luan cried out, and a stream of azure flames erupted from its mouth, covering the area ahead in a sea of fire.

Harpies were incinerated, falling continuously, some even turning to dust.

“Kill!” Lu Feng and Huangfu Yun also took action, summoning flying creatures to charge forward.

On the Azure Luan’s back, there were also many terrifying summoned beasts, such as Titan Giants and Behemoths.

Their massive bodies were only supported by the Azure Luan’s own strength. Their palms were covered in gray light, and with a single slap, hundreds or even thousands of Harpies were killed instantly.

However, compared to the hundreds of thousands of Harpies, this was just a drop in the bucket.

“Not good, there seem to be even more Harpies behind them.” Electric sparks erupted around Shang Yue, making him resemble a Thunder King. Every time he attacked, countless bolts of lightning fell, and electric arcs shot out in all directions, causing heavy casualties among the Harpies.

Despite this, the effect still wasn’t ideal, as more Harpies continuously swarmed from behind.

Li Feng frowned, summoning hundreds and thousands of Rx Pursuers to explode, but the effect wasn’t significant. These Harpies were like madmen, relentlessly charging forward.

“I can’t hold on much longer!” Wu Yong roared. He was covered in blood. As a Warrior, he was at the forefront, and his arms were numb. Fifteen minutes had passed since the beast swarm attack began, and he didn’t know how many Harpies he had slain.

Previously, he was enthusiastic and excited to kill Harpies, but not anymore. This beast swarm was too terrifying and endless.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a sharp sword light slashed out, like a beacon in the darkness, tearing open a path.

“Go!” Li Feng roared, commanding the Sword of Life to continuously slay Harpies. In an instant, tens of thousands of Harpies died by his hand.

The Azure Luan cried out, and its two pairs of wings ignited with flames. The brilliant flames were like a miniature sun, instantly killing all the nearby Harpies.

Seizing this opportunity, it charged forward, flying towards the higher void.

Li Feng stared at the Harpies below the Azure Luan, his expression uncertain. He felt that this beast swarm assault was somewhat strange.

But now that they had escaped danger, he didn’t bother to think about it.

“These swarms are even larger than I expected!” Shang Yue said fearfully. They had killed seventy to eighty thousand Harpies below, but the number didn’t seem to have decreased at all.

This was more serious than he had estimated, but fortunately, they had broken through.

Huangfu Yun and Lu Feng looked at the scene with lingering fear. However, as Summoners, they didn’t have to participate in the battle directly, so they were still in good condition.

Wu Yong, however, was different. He collapsed onto the Azure Luan’s back and sighed in relief: “Those damn bastards are really tough.”
