Chapter 25 Two Petty Thieves

After finishing another day of cultivation, Fang Xiu, having cleaned up the traces, was about to return to his dormitory to rest when two streaks of light flew across the sky.

"Flying?"

Fang Xiu, who was walking towards the teleportation array, suddenly stopped. Why were there still people on the island at this time? And the direction seemed to be towards the Scripture Pavilion.

After recalling the events, Fang Xiu pulled out a fragment from his memory and decided not to go back for now. He decided to go and see what was going on.

If Fang Xiu remembered correctly, two petty thieves had recently come to the Divine Academy. One was tall and the other short, one was fat and the other thin. Both thieves were quite strong, both at the late stage of the Jade Void Realm. They came to the Divine Academy to steal things, but they were caught red-handed and suffered an endless lecture from the headmaster, Bao Zheng.

Divine Academy Forbidden Grounds - Scripture Pavilion

Two identically dressed figures landed, their eyes filled with greed as they looked at the Sutra Repository surrounded by a protective shield.

"This is the 'Acala Mudra' that the Grape Ancestor claims is completely immovable!?"

The short, stout man looked at the heavily guarded library in the distance, feeling somewhat unsure of himself.

"Hmph, once the method to break this barrier is known, it's nothing but a gimmick."

The tall, thin man, on the contrary, looked disdainful.

"Alright, let's get started."

That's what he said, but the tall, thin man was also feeling uneasy; he was just pretending to be calm.

"The Great Primal Revelation Technique!"

The two simultaneously formed hand seals and pushed out a spinning double-magic arrow, which flew out and landed on the protective shield in front of the Scripture Pavilion. The two collided and silently drilled a circular hole.

Of course, neither of them had the ability to break the seal on the Sutra Repository. In fact, the core of the Qiyuan Great Law they used was left behind by a great figure, specifically to unlock the seal on the Sutra Repository.

However, breaking the seal still required their own magical power. By the time the hole was big enough for two people to enter, sweat was already beading on their foreheads.

"Let's go inside."

Just as the two were about to go inside, a sound came from behind them.

"You're probably not allowed in. Trespassing into the library is incredibly audacious!"

"Oh my god! We've been spotted! Run!!"

Upon hearing the third person's voice, the short, fat thief immediately dropped to all fours and tried to run away, but was grabbed by the hair and pulled back by the tall, thin man.

"Fool! Look closely, he's just a brat!"

The newcomer was naturally Fang Xiu, who had followed them. Looking at the two thieves, Fang Xiu's eyes gradually turned sinister.

The two uninvited thieves were both quite strong, likely in the late Jade Void stage. They were easy targets for Fang Xiu to practice on, so he didn't need to hold back.

"Kid, your eyes are really annoying!" The two petty thieves didn't take Fang Xiu seriously at all, but they were about to pay the price for their contempt.

"Thunderbolt Spell!"

The spell was familiar to Fang Xiu, whom he had only recently learned. However, this time Fang Xiu did not counterattack with an attack, but remained completely still, letting the lightning fly by as if he were terrified.

The lightning bolt stopped abruptly a foot or so in front of Fang Xiu, as if it had struck an invisible barrier.

Fang Xiu Na from Twilight City perfectly inherited his family's current superpower: mental shield.

"Looks like it's my turn."

It is only polite to reciprocate, so Fang Xiu was naturally not going to be polite to the other party. He used the same Thunderclap Spell. Although he was a beginner, with the help of his talent, Fang Xiu's Thunderclap Spell hit the tall, thin man instantly, sending him flying.

However, the tall, thin man's injuries were less severe than Fang Xiu had anticipated. After all, his innate magic was lightning-based, and it was normal for him to have some strength, given that he dared to steal from the Divine Academy.

"Something's not right. This idea's tricky. Let's work together to take him out!"

The tall, thin man was crackling with electricity. The moment Fang Xiu made his move, he sensed something was wrong; the opponent's strength was no less than his own. What the hell? When did the students of the Divine Academy become so strong?!

The two petty thieves were clearly led by the tall, thin one, who stood behind the short, fat one. The two worked together, one of them crackling with electricity and the other seemingly roaring like a ferocious beast.

"Combined Attack Spell: Thunder Beast Roar!"

oooooooo! !

The ferocious magical beast head, crackling with lightning, lunged at Fang Xiu. This combined attack spell had an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Lightning roared, lightning magic is all about speed, and when combined with lightning, it accelerates the attack. When you open your eyes, the lightning is right in front of you. With a roar, dust and smoke immediately rise up.

As the smoke cleared, Fang Xiu was unharmed. The protective shield was more powerful than he had expected. This thing seemed to be linked to his mind; the stronger his mental strength, the stronger the defense. It was a mind-based system.

Flame Wave!

Fang Xiu wasn't one to just take a beating without fighting back. He immediately unleashed a blazing wave of fire. As the two thieves dodged, Fang Xiu's expression grew increasingly sinister. From the moment he made his move, time began to count down. He could practice a little more before the teachers arrived.

Hair grows on his body, and while maintaining his human form, Fang Xiu develops animalistic features and suddenly grows taller.

This half-orc transformation form was recently devised by Fang Xiu. Directly transforming back into his original form would be too large and inconvenient. This way, the half-orc appearance is similar to his original form, the Beast King transformation, which can maximize the use of Fang Xiu's powerful physique as a beast.

Claws emerged from his palm, but the distance of a few meters was negligible for Fang Xiu. Before the two thieves could react, they had already been struck by Fang Xiu, and two tiger claw marks appeared on their chests.

True Tiger Heart

His robes were torn, revealing two dark claw marks on the chests of the thieves. Fang Xiu was just a hair's breadth away from completing the operation of tearing out their hearts and lungs.

Fang Xiu's strength far exceeded their expectations. Judging from his aura alone, he was not as strong as them, and both of them were at the ninth level of the Jade Void Realm. How could they possibly be at a disadvantage?

"Use the ultimate move!"

While suspended in mid-air, both thieves were in excruciating pain in their chests, but they remained conscious. A battle of wits had to be fought properly, and their long combat experience taught them that the moment they lost consciousness was the moment they would die.

"Thor has possessed me!"

"Beast King, transform!"

Thor's Possession is a basic lightning spell that summons the Thunder God to possess the user, covering their entire body with electricity for both offense and defense. However, long-term use may be harmful to the body.

Beast King Transformation is a fundamental magical ability that requires cultivation by someone of a different kind. This spell allows the user to transform into a wild beast, using the unique abilities of that beast, and increasing their physical attack power to a certain extent for a period of time.

With a fierce roar, the skinny thief and the fat thief unleashed their strongest spells together. One of them was covered in electricity, as if possessed by Thor, while the other transformed on the spot into a panda with the character "king" carved on its head, looking quite out of place.

Fat Thief's transformation is similar to Fang Xiu's, but the other party transforms completely into a panda, while Fang Xiu's transformation is at most a partial one.

With his strongest spell unleashed, the skinny thief's confidence surged once more. He was electrified, his speed increased dramatically, and together with the fat thief, they launched a pincer attack from the left and right.

Two fists against four hands, the two thieves cooperated tacitly. Although one was fast and the other slow, their tacit understanding made up for this problem. Fang Xiu, on the other hand, used the Flaming Wave in his left hand and the Nether Sea Ice Array in his right hand, and occasionally interspersed the spells with Hurricane Spell and Thunder Spell.

As the saying goes, a higher value on the left hand means a higher value on the right hand.
