While I'm at the martial arts academy, my wife is cultivating while I enjoy life.

We arrived in the Beiwei area around 6 p.m., when it was already dark.

Yang Ding got off the bus with everyone else, but couldn't find his group, so he found a shared bicycle and decided to wander around aimlessly.

A student from Class 7 came over and said, "Your Class 3 students are all in the Fishermen's Community."

"There's not much stock left over there, I'm going to wander around."

Yang Ding was just saying it casually; he didn't know where the fishermen's community was.

The students in Class 7 immediately became alert.

"You're not trying to steal beast crystals, are you? Go out of the city and hunt. There's already a shortage of them in the city. What are you doing hanging around here? Don't follow me."

"Hey bro, wait a minute, I need to ask you something."

"Screw you, get lost!"

This guy shook off Yang Ding's pull, stomped his foot hard, and ran away in a flash.

Last night they finally managed to get a gold-type beast crystal, but it was stolen, and they still haven't found out who the thief is.

Beast crystals are not only related to rankings, but also to huge rewards.

As more and more alien artifacts infiltrate the area, the bonuses will decrease, making now a good time to make money.

Having money makes life a bit easier in the North. If you can't afford a beast mount, you can only walk or mooch off your teammates, which is very lowly.

The residents of the fishermen's community are mainly fishermen who fish in the Longjiang River. They have to leave the city very early every day and should live near the North City Wall.

Yang Ding rode his bicycle straight there.

Apart from the occasional speeding off-road vehicle from the law enforcement team, there was hardly anyone to be seen on the road.

It was as if he were the only person walking alone in the entire city.

A law enforcement car with its siren blaring pulled up beside him. "Hey, what do you want?"

"I am Yang Xiang, a senior student from Class 3, Grade 4 of the Martial Arts Academy at Jiangling University. I got on the wrong bus and can't find the Fishermen's Community."

"Turn right ahead, then left, and you'll arrive. It's right next to the city wall."

The law enforcement officers took his temperature and then left.

Yang Ding quickly found the fishermen's community, which consisted of only one building and was less than 100 meters away from the city wall.

He took out his student ID, flashed it, and knocked on the window of the guardhouse.

"Have the students in Group 1 arrived yet?"

"It's so late, you've been here for a while. Let's take your temperature."

The security guard took his temperature and, seeing that there was no problem, said, "There are two groups of people. One group is checking on the 150th floor, and the other group seems to be on the 50th floor. Go up and check it out yourself."

"Okay."

Yang Ding took the elevator to the 51st floor, went to the stairwell, and used his hearing to listen to the sounds downstairs.

Across the Longjiang River in the abandoned city area, you can see searchlights from aircraft searching everywhere.

"Team leader, the guards on the city wall have left. I'll go down and take a look."

"Okay, just don't fall into the river."

Don't worry.

Then Yang Ding saw a figure jump out of the window on the 50th floor and land in the woods by the river.

The height of the 50th floor is about 200 meters, while the city wall is only 100 meters high, so jumping over it would be easy.

"Next, hurry up, don't let the patrol archers see us and shoot us like we're parasites."

"Team leader, I reckon a lot of teams will be going out tonight. We didn't hear any alarms or anything, so they probably set them off on purpose."

"It's possible that if a student dies outside, they won't have to explain it to the Empire."

Then they jumped down in a row, about ten times in a row.

The impact of a 200-meter fall is no less than being hit by a large truck at high speed, but these people don't seem to be afraid of it. They are probably at least at the middle stage of the third rank.

After they went down, the group headed towards the Longjiang Bridge with flashlights in hand.

Yang Ding buttoned up his leather jacket, stood on the windowsill, took a deep breath, and then jumped down.

Last time I jumped from the 80th floor, I was only at the mid-stage of the third rank cultivation level. I was caught by a big tree and suffered some minor injuries.

This time, the ground was damaged, leaving a small crater, but I didn't feel any pain.

Just as Yang Ding climbed onto the riverbank, a masked man, holding a short sword, landed steadily in the woods.

He glanced at the large sand pit on the ground, looking puzzled.

"You little bastard, you actually tried to hide your strength like me."

Then he leaped across the thousand-meter-wide river, landing on the roof of an abandoned building on the opposite side, silently observing the Yangding Bridge on the Longjiang Bridge.

The ten students in Class 3 didn't dare to walk too fast. The abandoned city was pitch black, and using a flashlight would be too conspicuous.

Yang Ding didn't dare to get too close, worried that he would be recognized. He would follow the other person when they left and stop when they stopped.

He hid behind a long-abandoned sports car, its body buried under weeds, rusted and indistinguishable in color, but the logo on the rear was still faintly visible: Damai 7 Ultra.

This is a legendary car.

Yang Ding realized at this moment that he had not traveled to a parallel world, but to the world he was in.

On the opposite bank of the river, red lights were flashing on an aircraft, and ten law enforcement officers could be seen jumping from the sky, indicating that a discovery had been made.

The law enforcement officers were even more eager than the students to go to the capital to attend the princess's coming-of-age ceremony, as this might be their last chance to defy fate.

"Everyone be careful, this could be a trap."

"The parasites will disguise themselves as students from Gangneung University or members of our enforcement team, and we'll have them identify themselves so we can check their identities on the spot."

"Yes."

The team leader of Squad 3, who was lying in wait at the bridgehead, waved his hand and said, "Let's go take a look."

There were about ten of them, and the sound of their footsteps when they ran could completely mask Yang Ding's tracking, so he kept up with them.

Parasites are also humanoid, making it difficult for opponents to quickly identify them, which can easily lead to situations where people kill each other.

Just as Yang Ding was jogging along, he seemed to hear footsteps behind him, which startled him so much that he quickly turned off his headlamp.

He crouched down and used his internal energy to eavesdrop. The footsteps were very dense, indicating that there was more than one person, which meant that other classes were following behind.

Just then, the aircraft hovering above the abandoned building suddenly went out of control, spinning and crashing into the roof, followed by a loud explosion of the solid-state lithium battery.

Fortunately, this aircraft was unmanned, so there should be no casualties.

Metal and fire elemental ability users, once they reach level B, can easily destroy these aircraft costing over a hundred million.

This is why humans have abandoned technology and chosen to cultivate and evolve on their own.

"Holy crap, the law enforcement team has been attacked."

"There's probably a large shipment."

Yang Ding didn't care about the team behind him anymore. He leaped a hundred meters into the air, stepped on the steel cable on the bridge, and pushed off with all his might to catch up with Class A3 in front.

The students in Class 3 were also accelerating. They first jumped continuously to the top of a shopping mall, and then, with the help of a sprint, rushed towards the office building opposite.

The fighting is raging in the office building; there must be quite a few parasites there.

Yang went up to the top of the shopping mall, but did not enter the office building. There were people on all three sides, and it was easy to accidentally kill someone.

He found a corner to hide in and activated his spatial abilities, connecting to the 20th floor where the fighting was most intense.

His spatial abilities allow him to both travel by stealth and serve as his third eye.

The rift opened in the ceiling on the twentieth floor. Yang Ding quickly moved his viewpoint, searching for a parasite he could ambush.
