After everyone deftly cleared the way, Li Weixuan drew his sword from his waist.
As a Fourth Phase pinnacle Swordsman, his actions were far from ordinary.
The sword sang like a dragon’s cry as he unsheathed it.
There wasn’t a dazzling sword light, nor was it as fast as lightning as one might expect.
The tip of Li Weixuan’s sword seemed to carry a heavy mountain, slowly extending towards the barrier.
At that moment, everyone seemed to hear the roaring of the heavens and the earth.
After the roar, sword energy surged everywhere, and those close by were even thrown off by the violent gusts.
Everyone instinctively looked towards the tip of the sword.
This…
On the invisible barrier, there still wasn’t any crack, not even the slightest tremble.
This indomitable strike still did not evoke any reaction.
How could this be!
Crack!
A series of crisp sounds followed, and the long sword in Li Weixuan’s hand first showed a spiderweb of cracks, then shattered into fragments the size of fingernails.
The might of a single sword was such that even the sword itself couldn’t withstand it.
Even such an attack wasn’t enough to break the barrier?
Are we going to be trapped here to die?
Everyone exchanged glances, feeling an uncontrollable sense of despair rising within them.
Could it really be impossible!
Fu Qian sighed on the side.
Although he subconsciously felt that it shouldn’t be so simple, the fact that such a terrifying blow left no trace was still shocking.
It almost certainly meant that the barrier could not be force-broken, and another method needed to be found.
Li Weixuan, however, stared at the broken sword in his hand, momentarily dazed.
Since his debut, he had never encountered such a bizarre incident.
“Try the top.”
At this moment, someone in the team shouted.
Right! There was still the top!
This reminder awakened many, as the barrier might not cover every direction; perhaps they could bypass it from above.
Someone in the team had a bow and arrows, and immediately took them out to fit the bowstring and draw an arrow, aiming it upwards.
Fu Qian stood by, quietly observing the changes without telling them that he had already tried with Air Bullets.
It never hurt to try more.
Crack!
As expected, after the pricey arrow was released, it flew upwards at an angle, only to crash into some invisible barrier and break into several pieces.
…
The looks in everyone’s eyes quickly dimmed.
The archer paused, then drew another arrow, trying a different direction.
Still met with the same barrier.
Another arrow…
Until the quiver was empty, finally someone stepped forward and held the archer’s trembling hands; the ground was littered with broken arrowheads.
The only finding was that the barrier extended from the boundary upwards, growing higher, roughly dome-shaped like an arc.
By this time, Li Weixuan had regained his senses.
This exploration and training could not continue.
He was about to give orders when suddenly a series of crisp bell sounds came from a distance.
“Follow up.”
Everyone was startled, and Li Weixuan briskly commanded, already the first to rush out.
That was the Arrow Bell unique to the Academy, used by students in distress seeking help during outings.
There were still two teams in the ruins!
Watching Li Weixuan’s retreating figure, the students also hurriedly followed suit.
Unable to get out, with strange monsters inside, following Director Li seemed like the safer bet.
