Chapter 1172: Chapter 479 Exploding Heart_2

Chapter 1172 -479 Exploding Heart_2

The radio signal in the rift was terrible, so it was not even a question of communication from the second layer to the first layer, if they were slightly far from each other even on the first layer, they would lose contact. Even if they managed to establish contact, the signal could be very poor. So, as long as he went to the second layer, apart from Ding Yuqin who could contact others via the Perception Ring, nobody else could reach him.

“He said he has been following your instructions and hasn’t reached the Stone Forest yet, but he should be closing in.”

“Hasn’t arrived yet? Could he possibly have taken the wrong path?”

Wang Tao immediately furrowed his brows.

“Not sure, shall we go and check?”

“Yeah, let’s go and check.”

Wang Tao had originally planned to wait for them in the Stone Forest, but since they hadn’t arrived yet, and Wang Tao was also free for the time being, he decided to go and check.

Everyone got into the car and hurried back.

Soon, Wang Tao and his group had returned to the Stone Forest. Indeed, there was no one inside. They didn’t stop, continuing back on their way.

After walking for a few more minutes, Wang Tao finally saw a large group of people in the distance.

They were fighting with some mutated plants, and the battle was intense.

But after watching for a while, Wang Tao shook his head helplessly.

No wonder this group never made it to the Stone Forest, Wang Tao could only describe them with one phrase—amateurs pecking at each other.

After Wang Tao had left the main squad earlier, they had always been moving deeper at a fast pace, and it was certain that quite a few escaped his net. It was only around the Stone Forest area when they collected the 100 Secret Keys that the cleanup was more thorough.

Facing the mutated plants that Wang Tao’s team missed and underestimated, these students encountered significant difficulty, especially since there was no one to control the black fog after Wang Tao left, causing their light range to be significantly reduced… This made their progress extremely strenuous.

Even though they had Fourth-order Awakener teachers leading the team, who had to kill monsters and protect them, it was very hectic.

Had it not been for these weak links, these Awakener teachers would have probably reached the Stone Forest much earlier…

At a thought from Wang Tao, the black fog began to surge and quickly spread around.

Pan Jian and the others couldn’t see the black fog; they just felt it was very dark, and their lights couldn’t shine far. But as soon as Wang Tao controlled the black fog, they immediately noticed that the range of their lights started to increase.

“The principal is back!”

Pan Jian breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he saw this.

He had seen Wang Tao’s Ability before, and Wang Tao had just contacted him via radio.

The others weren’t foolish either; seeing this, they knew Wang Tao had returned and felt somewhat joyful.

Especially the Awakener teachers; they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Others might not know how strong Wang Tao was, but as Fourth-order Awakeners, they were well aware of how powerful Wang Tao was. He was definitely one of the top existences among the Level 4 Awakeners!

Not only Zhou Wang was strong, but the members of his team were also very strong. With the Starfire Society group present, things would be much easier for them.

“Go on.”

Wang Tao waved his hand, and Xiang Hongbin and a few others immediately rushed forward.

These were just some minor enemies, the strongest being just a few Level 4 Lords, not worth Wang Tao’s personal involvement.

With the addition of Xiang Hongbin and others, the mutated plants around were quickly cleared.

Wang Tao encountered the sweaty Pan Jian and his group.

Pan Jian was a bit embarrassed; he had earlier asked Wang Tao if he needed help, but ended up being the one needing help. He had underestimated not only the dangers within the rift but also Wang Tao’s strength.

“What’s the damage so far?”

Wang Tao asked directly.

“Thanks to the teachers’ dedicated protection, no one is dead, but many are injured; currently, over fifty have minor injuries, and six are more severely wounded… they don’t have much combat power left…”

Pan Jian firstly acknowledged the Awakener teachers’ efforts, then counted out the numbers a bit nervously, worried that Wang Tao wouldn’t be satisfied.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tao wasn’t unsatisfied. Given their combat power, having no deaths was already very good, and as for the injured, even if they were critically wounded, as long as they were still breathing, Lan Yulian could heal them.

“All the injured, come over here.”

Wang Tao yelled, his voice spreading throughout the entire team.

Soon, dozens of people had gathered, some were carried over on stretchers.

Lan Yulian immediately stepped forward, and a flash of green light enveloped all the injured.

“Ah! That feels amazing!”

Someone exclaimed unconsciously.

The others also felt great. If it weren’t for Principal Wang Tao being there, they might have cried out as well. Those who hadn’t been healed by Lan Yulian couldn’t understand that feeling. Compared to other Healing-Type Ability Users, it was like night and day.

“Let’s go.”

Lan Yulian performed a continuous-area healing, guessing that walking for a while should sufficiently replenish their HP.

“Yes!”

Pan Jian called everyone to follow and then reported the situation to Wang Tao.

“… I knew it would be dangerous before I came, but I didn’t expect it to be this dangerous. We are lucky to have these teachers, or we might have been completely wiped out…”

After the report, Pan Jian once again praised the Awakener teachers. He wasn’t just speaking politely—he was truly grateful. If these teachers had been any less diligent or caring, there could have been fatalities. Whether his life would be spared was uncertain…

Wang Tao nodded silently. He was solely in charge of this Awakeners School, choosing not only the students but also the teachers. These teachers not only were skilled but also had good reputations.

“Don’t worry, the rewards will not be lacking.”

Wang Tao nodded to Pan Jian.

Then he said to the teachers:

“Thank you all for your hard work!”

“No trouble at all. It’s what we ought to do!”

The teachers quickly shook their heads.

They genuinely had good character, but they also had their selfish motives—Wang Tao had placed some irresistible equipment and potions in the school treasury! However, these items could not be sold and could only be exchanged for Points within the school, and they were also after the Points…

With the help of the Starfire Society, the team quickly arrived at the Stone Forest.

Upon seeing this impressive Stone Forest made up of various huge rocks, everyone was amazed. Especially when they found that the rocks were incredibly hard, so much so that they, with their strength, could not destroy them, they conceived the same idea as Wang Tao had earlier—whether they could turn these stones into armor.

“Shh—there are engravings on these rocks, signed… Principal!”

Seeing the characters on the rocks, let alone the students, even the Fourth-order Awakener teachers found it unbelievable. They had just tried it; with their Fourth-order Awakener strength, not only could they not carve anything, but even their carving tools shattered immediately! Yet Wang Tao could still engrave on them… Not only was Wang Tao’s strength terrifying, but his weapons were incredibly powerful as well!

They then thought of the various weapons Wang Tao had placed in the school’s treasury, and their hearts grew even more eager.

Amidst everyone’s exclamations, Wang Tao smiled and shook his head, then said to Pan Jian:

“Has everyone’s Points been tallied?”

“Yes!”

Pan Jian immediately pulled up the data on his informational wristwatch. They had a local network among their group, where contributions and Points were automatically calculated by a computer. Even if someone left the group, the computer would still keep track offline and transmit the data back to Pan Jian once reconnected.

This was also one of the duties of the teaching staff.

There were no rules without standards. This definitely could not be taken carelessly.

“Hmm, let me see…”

Wang Tao glanced briefly at it then suddenly said:

“Call the top three students in Points, I will reward them with an Awakening opportunity.”

“Ah?”

Pan Jian was stunned. The school had only been officially established for a few days, and already they were granting students the chance to Awaken?

Wasn’t it said that obtaining the opportunity to Awaken was very rare…

“Is there a problem?”

“No! Principal, just give me a moment…”

Pan Jian immediately ran to call people personally.
