Two Realms: I am a Genius Magician

The four red-armored ants were almost the limit of Han Qianfei's strength. He first used nested magic to kill one, and then the fireballs of the other three arrived in front of him, forcing him to dodge.

With Han Qianfei's current strength, he is not yet able to instantly cast enhanced magic to deal with the three red-armored ants that have already gotten close, nor can he spare the energy to condense nested magic forms.

Han Qianfei could only rely on his physique (over 400 points) and instant-cast level 2 magic to fight back.

He would occasionally unleash golden blades and ice walls to divide the battlefield, so that he could fight a single red-armored ant in melee combat.

Finally, after twenty minutes, Han Qianfei's fist smashed the head of the last red-armored ant.

He collapsed to the ground, panting, and looked at his fist. It was a little red, but he wasn't injured.

The head of the red-armored ant is no less hard than steel. It seems that the improvement in physique is not only reflected in strength and speed, but in all aspects, including physical strength, nerve reaction and so on.

Sitting on the grass, it took him a while to recover. He stood up, glared at Ye Hongren who was watching the commotion in the distance, and wanted to say something, but in the end he just snorted.

Ye Hongren laughed even more heartily.

Han Qianfei shouted, "Dagger!"

Ye Hongren flicked her sleeve lightly, and the dagger flew out.

The dagger, moving at incredible speed, appeared to Han Qianfei as if it were moving in slow motion; he easily gripped the handle.

He used a dagger to cut open the heads of the red-armored ants, and luckily, all four ants had magic cores.

All done! Four level-three magic cores, ready to be upgraded to level three.

Han Qianfei picked up the leather backpack he had left on the ground before the battle, took out ten purple magic crystals from it, and prepared to set up an upgrade array.

The level 3 upgrade array is very simple and does not require a professional array master. As long as the approximate positions of the magic core and magic crystal are correct, and then connected to each other with yellow earth, you can activate it using mental power.

The quality of materials used to upgrade a formation and whether the formation itself is up to standard will not affect the strength after the upgrade, but only the success rate of the upgrade.

The purpose of upgrading the formation is to unlock a lock within the body. Whether you use a key or a hammer, the effect is the same once it's opened.

Han Qianfei wasn't worried about the success rate, after all, he was a genius.

Following his memory, he placed the magic cores and magic crystals in their respective positions. During this process, the elemental creature that Han Qianfei named Little Flame ran around him and even picked up a magic core, about to swallow it.

Han Qianfei kicked him away, snatched back the magic core, and was completely invisible while fighting the Crimson Ants. Now that the fight is over, he wants to come out and eat the spoils?

The little flame walked away dejectedly, and Han Qianfei placed the last magic core in its corresponding position.

All done! Now all we need to do is connect them with loess.

Loess, loess, loess...

Why is there black soil everywhere around here?

Loess soil is ubiquitous in Batan, but becomes a rarity in the Hengduan Mountains.

What a fertile land!

Han Qianfei continued to expand the search area for a while, but still found nothing, so he had no choice but to give up and return to the city. He figured he couldn't be stopped by the yellow earth.

I packed the materials into my backpack and prepared to leave.

Just then, red-armored ants began to emerge from the woods—not just one or two, not ten or eight, but countless red-armored ants.

The little flame was so frightened that it spun around in circles, not knowing where to hide, since there was no gap left for it to escape from any direction.

However, the red-armored ants ignored the small flame as they passed by and continued towards Han Qianfei.

Their only target is the marked enemy.

Han Qianfei said, "Ye Hongren, you go!"

Ye Hongren's face turned pale: "I'm not a magician, how am I supposed to kill all of them?"

"Can you save me?" Han Qianfei asked.

Ye Hongren said, "I can't save you; you might die here."

"Even a level four professional has only a very small chance of escaping a swarm of red-armored ants."

Han Qianfei's gaze was cold; even knowing there was no way out, he still wanted to fight with all his might.

Ye Hongren suddenly said, "The Crimson-Armored Ants are nothing to me; I can kill them with a wave of my hand. However, there are too many of them, and as a body cultivator, I don't have the ability to deal damage to multiple targets. So, you need to stick close to me, and I will do my best to protect you. Whether we can break through the encirclement depends on fate."

Han Qianfei nodded and followed behind Ye Hongren.

The moment Ye Hongren made contact with the ant swarm, she swiftly pierced five red-armored ants with her butterfly knife, demonstrating an astonishing level of skill.

However, the Red-Armored Ants were fearless and continued their attack. Ye Hongren went berserk, while Han Qianfei could only barely keep up. Their advance slowed down and eventually came to a near halt.

Ye Hongren's aura was already somewhat disordered. Dozens of Crimson Armored Ants formed a wall. Han Qianfei thought to himself, what a fortune it would be if their magic cores were extracted.

Unfortunately, even survival is difficult.

Just then, Han Qianfei sensed an unusual aura approaching from the side, chilling and eerie...

He then felt his waist move, and looking down, he saw that a red-armored ant had pinched a huge gash in his side.

Fortunately, a wisp of white energy slowly spread there, stopping the bleeding and preventing the kidney from being exposed.

Han Qianfei looked at the owner of the chilling aura that had just attacked him.

He was a man with thinning hair and dark skin. His facial expressions were complex, showing pleasure, cruelty, and ferocity, with occasional flashes of pain.

Han Qianfei felt that the other person looked familiar. He tried hard to recall and finally remembered: Ren Chao from the Earthly Mad Star!

He's still alive, and his strength has increased dramatically. How did he become neither human nor ghost?

Han Qianfei felt that what was originally a nine-out-of-ten chance of death had become a ten-out-of-ten chance of death.

What's most infuriating is that these red-armored ants seem to be a bunch of idiots, only attacking him and Ye Hongren, while ignoring Ren Chao simply because the two had killed their kin.

Ye Hongren kicked away a red-armored ant and said, "It's alright, I can handle it, and it's not difficult. Don't be discouraged."

Han Qianfei knew Ye Hongren was strong, but he didn't expect her to be this strong. Ren Chao was definitely a level four warrior at this time, but Ye Hongren said that he was not difficult to deal with.

Ren Chao made another move, this time targeting Han Qianfei.

Ye Hongren gripped the butterfly knife in reverse, and in the next moment, the blade would slice open Ren Chao's neck at a speed Ren Chao couldn't even perceive.

Another unexpected event!

"Your opponent is me." This was the voice of Wang Yan's attendant.

Ye Hongren was startled and focused most of his attention on the attendants. He only managed to knock Ren Chao back with a single palm strike, temporarily resolving Han Qianfei's crisis.

The attendants had already arrived, and the two quickly engaged in combat.

The larger the entourage, the more alarmed he became. If it weren't for the red-armored ants restraining the enemy, he would definitely not be a match for them.

He's a level 5 peak warrior!

Han Qianfei saw a boy standing under a tree in the distance, a blade of grass in his mouth, smiling at him.

The young man was none other than Wang Yan.

Han Qianfei thought to himself, if he survives this time, he must kill the other party, no matter what his background is, even if it means causing a huge uproar, he must kill him.
