An expression of slight disappointment was etched on Chief Instructor Lus face. The majority of the members of the elite class had similar looks of disappointment on their faces.

Every single one of them was aware of the magnitude of the test they were about to take. They really needed Luo Yunyang for this sort of test.

Announce the name list!

Gun Wanli, Sun Miaomiao, Yang Yirui Bai Yuming and Zhao Buge!

When the last name was announced, most people turned to look at a feeble-looking young man. This was Zhao Buge, a young man who came from an ordinary family living outside the main cities.

He hadnt made much of a name for himself ever since he had entered the Rising Dragon Armys elite class, but during those few days of training, he had distinguished himself from the crowd.

Why isnt there any news about our leader yet? Zhao Buge asked Xu Zhong solemnly instead of showing any delight.

Xu Zhong, who understood what Zhao Buge meant, rubbed his head out of habit. He suddenly heard a cough.

This was a reminder from Chief Instructor Lu. No, perhaps it was a warning.

We have yet to find Luo Yunyang, but time is of the essence, so we have to hurry and get to Xiping Lake as soon as possible. Listen up, everyone! This matter concerns both the glory of the Rising Dragon Army and your ability to become martial masters.

If we end up obtaining very little source fluid, then the majority of you will not be able to receive any source fluid at all.

Xu Zhong took a deep breath. You should all be very aware of the consequences of not having any source fluid! None of you will be able to become a martial master. You wont even have to wait till next year. The majority of you will have to leave with your tails between your legs! Got it?

Most of the students expressions turned grave.

Could Luo Yunyang have heard the news and hidden intentionally because he was too afraid of losing? a voice blurted out.

The person who had spoken was a member of the elite class. As he said these words, his entire body trembled.

He had still uttered them, though.

The moment he did, Bai Yumings loud voice was heard. Chief Instructor Lu, everyone I feel that there is a high possibility that this is the case. If hes not hiding intentionally, then why arent we able to find him?

I suggest revoking his status as a member of the Rising Dragon Armys elite class!

A hint of loathing appeared in Chief Instructor Lus eyes. However, a slim officer standing next to him said dully, When you put it this way, it actually makes sense.

How can a Newcomer King not follow orders and leave without a warning for such a long time?

Thats outrageous!

The students words resulted in a few scattered comments. Suddenly, Chief Instructor Lus expression turned much colder.

Luo Yunyang would never act like a coward! Qin Feifei retorted loudly. She was the first to step forward. Do not talk nonsense, unless you have proof!

He hasnt appeared in a long time. If he isnt hiding, then maybe hes dead! Bai Yuming guffawed without restraint.

He had originally had a rather favorable opinion of Qin Feifei. He had thought that this maiden had a unique personality and he would one day get to know her personally. She was the prettiest maiden in this elite class after all.

However, after a while, he had been really disappointed. Qin Feifei had joined Luo Yunyangs group and he realized that she seemed to stick very close to Luo Yunyang. Plus, she actually ignored Bai Yumings very existence. Or was that her simply being ice-cold?

Stop it with your nonsense! How could Big Brother Yunyang die? Qin Feifeis face had turned red.

If he isnt dead, then he must be hiding. Otherwise, why dont you get him to come out? Chief Instructor Lu is still waiting! Bai Yuming felt very pleased as he said this.

Luo Yunyang cant come. Lets see what else you will say now!

However, as he was feeling pleased with himself, he realized that the dull expression on Xu Zhongs face had become lively.

Whats up with him? Could he have finally realized that I am a rare genius that only appears once in every 100 years? Does he want to bow down before me?

Goosebumps erupted all over Bai Yumings body at the thought as he started to ponder how he would respond to Xu Zhongs statement. Actually, Bai Yuming was very ordinary, but he was also farsighted.

Before he could even finish preparing what to say, he realized in shock that Xu Zhong and the others were staring into the distance with their eyes blazing.

Luo Yunyang!

Its Luo Yunyang! He has finally returned!

Luo Yunyang! Where the hell have you been? I went almost crazy trying to locate you! You bastard! You nearly put me in an early grave! Xu Zhong was like a whirlwind as he took a big stride forward and shot towards Luo Yunyang. He hadnt even reached him, but his spittle had already started flying.

Luo Yunyangs face was dirty, and his hair was messy. No, this didnt seem like an accurate description. His clothes were worn apart and shabby, but his face was fair, and his skin looked really delicate. His level of exquisiteness seemed to surpass even that of a fair maiden.

As Xu Zhong dashed over, Luo Yunyang moved like a demon and appeared behind Xu Zhongs back. Xu Zhongs spittle hit the ground.

That damn forest didnt have any signal. Luo Yunyang looked at Xu Zhong innocently. Didnt you say that we were supposed to have two months of free activities?

Xu Zhong rubbed his head. He didnt know what to say. Show-off! I did say that, but you cant go two months without meeting me!

Ha ha! Are you guys distributing source fluid? I hope Im not late! When he noticed the number of eyes fixed on him, Luo Yunyangs heart felt a little weak. However, he still maintained his sweet, naive appearance.

Sometimes, acting dumb was very effective.

The looks he received in return werent what he had expected. What exactly was going on? He had just spoken the truth. Why was everyone staring at him as though they had just seen a ghost?

Xu Zhong quickly solved the problem by informing Luo Yunyang about the current situation. By the time he reached the last part, his spittle was flying all over the place as he snarled, Luo Yunyang, are you mad? Are you angry

Im not angry! Luo Yunyang was actually able to keep his cool.

Xu Zhong felt his knees weaken. He was on the verge of going insane from anger, yet this boy didnt even show any feeling. He looked as if this did not affect him

Although he was displeased deep down, Xu Zhong still spoke to Luo Yunyang like a senior speaking to a junior. Dont you feel any loyalty?

This isnt a big deal. All we have to do is get it back. Is this worth making your voice hoarse over? Luo Yunyang patted Xu Zhongs shoulders nonchalantly when he was finished.

Hes making so much sense that Im actually speechless!

Alright, Luo Yunyang. Return to the ranks. Time is of the essence. We have to hurry to Xiping Lake. Oh, I forgot. If you need any weapons, inform Xu Zhong as soon as possible, Chief Instructor Lu said with a faint smile.

Although Luo Yunyang had arrived a little late, his attitude had made Chief Instructor Lu feel a little more at ease.

They would just get it back!

What was the point of getting angry, when they could just take it back? This was the true character of a man, although it felt like a conventional cliche.

Big Brother Yunyang! I can rest easier with you here! Zhao Buge, who was the one who had filled in the last spot, automatically withdrew from the team of 20.

Luo Yunyang patted Zhao Buges shoulder as he said, That wont do. You still have to fight alongside me. Deserting the army is forbidden. If we have to push someone out, lets just take out Bai Yuming.

When Bai Yuming, who had gotten extremely worried by Luo Yunyangs sudden appearance, heard Luo Yunyang try to exclude him so brazenly, he clenched his teeth so hard that they almost hurt. He had no way out. He couldnt afford to offend Luo Yunyang after all.

He had improved considerably during the past few days, but facing Luo Yunyang was still a huge step. Luo Yunyang had actually stripped him of his qualifications without saying anything. How could this be?

This was not just a duty, it was also a sort of honor. Plus, he would be able to obtain vast amounts of Rising Dragon Army resources for free.

Lets not go overboard, Luo Yunyang! I relied on my own strength and abilities to get this spot. Who are you to revoke my right to it?

When Bai Yuming had said his piece, he felt much calmer. He believed that by saying this, he would be able to hold on to his spot.

Chief Instructor Lu, Boss Xu, there isnt any rule about not attacking our own during the battle, right? I really hope that I wont carelessly injure my fellow comrade. That would be just too tragic! Luo Yunyang folded his arms and flashed a bright grin at Bai Yuming.

Bai Yumings face flushed. He pointed at Luo Yunyang as he said loudly, Stop bullying me like this! There are always ups and downs in life. A lot of things change in time!

Everyones eyes ultimately landed on Chief Instructor Lu. He would get the final say on this matter after all.

Chief Instructor Lu watched Luo Yunyang as he muttered something to himself. Then, he ordered expressionlessly, Bai Yuming will stay at the base to train!
