It was supposed to be a Mythic card set, but what the heck is this Warhammer 40k?

The atmosphere between the two sides was becoming increasingly tense.

Just then, a student ran over in a panic.

"Brother Tao, something's happened! Something really bad!"

The student ran up to Gu Tao, panting, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Gu Tao's expression changed from gloomy to astonished, and finally to pleasant surprise.

He asked the student, "Is what you're saying true?"

The student nodded repeatedly: "I saw it with my own eyes, there's no mistake!"

After receiving the student's answer, Gu Tao took a deep breath, a hint of barely suppressed excitement flashing across his face.

Then, he glanced at Lu Ya and snorted coldly, "You're lucky today. I'll let you off the hook for now. We'll settle this score later."

After saying that, Gu Tao left in a hurry with everyone without looking back.

Watching Gu Tao's departing figure, Lu Ya and the others were somewhat confused.

To be honest, Lu Ya actually hoped that Gu Tao would fight him.

He was all ready to have the judge go up and give Gu Tao two big psionic contests!

After all, the best way to deal with a treacherous person like Gu Tao is to traumatize him once and for all, so that he won't stab you in the back in the future.

However, it seems there's no such opportunity right now.

"You just left like that? I really thought you two were going to fight?" Zhong Xu muttered in a tone that seemed to enjoy watching a good show.

Lu Ya glanced at Zhong Xu: "You seem to really want us to fight?"

Upon hearing Lu Ya's words, Zhong Xu coughed and quickly explained, "No, no, how could that be? Besides, even if a fight breaks out, I'll be on your side."

Lu Ya sneered at this: "Is that so? Well, thank you in return!"

........

At the same time, a similar conversation took place on Gu Tao's side.

One of the students couldn't help but ask, "Brother Tao, are we really leaving like this?"

Gu Tao snorted coldly: "Otherwise what? The evil spirits here have already been dealt with. Staying any longer would just be a waste of time."

"Moreover, I just received news that someone has also discovered a 'polluted' evil spirit in another location."

"The most important thing right now is to get to this evil spirit while Hu Fei and Ding Heng are still unaware of this."

The student nodded, then asked with a hint of doubt, "But, Brother Tao, this is just a final exam, don't we need to be in such a hurry?"

Upon hearing the student's words, Gu Tao coldly replied, "What do you know? Do you really think this is just a simple final exam?"

"Let me tell you, this assessment is crucial to the school's future arrangements for the Card Master High School League. The top performer will receive special support and cultivation from the school!"

"These things were all told to me by my homeroom teacher!"

These words shocked the other students around them: "When did this news come about? How come we haven't heard our homeroom teacher mention this before?"

Gu Tao sneered, "What's the use of you knowing? Does knowing guarantee you'll get first place?"

After Gu Tao said that, the students immediately wilted like eggplants that had been hit by frost.

Gu Tao took a deep breath, a hint of excitement flashing across his face: "With Hu Fei and Ding Heng around, I didn't really expect to get first place this time."

"But fate gave me an opportunity. The two of them were unlucky enough to run into the evil spirit thief, which greatly reduced their strength. This is when my chance came."

"As long as I can get first place in this assessment, all the school's resources will be allocated to me. With my talent, my strength will definitely not be worse than Hu Fei's group."

The other students also looked enlightened and started discussing it amongst themselves.

"In that case, Brother Tao, you're practically the chosen one."

"Yeah, Tao, when you get first place in the final exams this time, don't forget about us!"

"Yang Feng is lucky. If Brother Tao hadn't been too busy to deal with him, he would have beaten the crap out of him."

Listening to the students' praise, Gu Tao felt a little smug.

However, when Yang Feng was mentioned, Gu Tao's smile vanished once again, and a dark look flashed across his face.

"Hmph, Yang Feng, is that it? I'll remember you. We'll settle this score later."

After silently blaming Yang Feng in his heart, Gu Tao stopped thinking about it and hurried to another place.

........

Meanwhile, on the other side of the secret realm.

"Achoo, achoo!"

Yang Feng suddenly felt an indescribable chill down his back, and he couldn't help but sneeze twice.

He then rubbed his slightly sore nose and muttered to himself with a puzzled look.

"That's weird, I haven't caught a cold these past two days. Could it be that some bastard is talking behind my back?"

After pondering for a while without success, Yang Feng shook his head and could only put the matter out of his mind for the time being.

He then looked at the two people in front of him and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

Faced with Yang Feng's question, a boy walking in front paused: "Brother Yang, didn't you say you were going to see your friend? Isn't this a good opportunity to take you there?"

Yang Feng raised an eyebrow: "You've met my friend Lu Ya, do you know where he is?"

The boy gave a wry smile: "No, but I do know a temporary gathering point."

Temporary gathering point?

This made Yang Feng frown slightly: "Go on."

The boy continued, "This temporary gathering point was spontaneously organized and established by students from several of our classes. Now, many students go to the gathering point every day to exchange information."

"I was thinking that maybe your friend, Brother Yang, would go there too, so I thought I'd take you there."

After listening to the boy's words, Yang Feng nodded thoughtfully.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he stared at the boy warily and said, "You guys aren't lying to me, are you? You should know what the consequences of lying to me would be!"

As Yang Feng finished speaking, a terrifying demon exuding a chilling aura appeared beside him.

Upon seeing the ghost messenger beside Yang Feng, the two men and women turned deathly pale.

They waved their hands repeatedly and said, "No, Brother Yang, you just saved our lives. How could we possibly repay kindness with enmity?"

Yang Feng carefully examined the two men, and after confirming that they didn't seem to be lying, he nodded and a smile returned to his face.

"That's good. Then please lead the way."

After seeing Yang Feng recall the ghost messengers and choosing to temporarily trust them, the two men and women finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the two of them did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and quickly led the way.
