“This is the map of the locale we’re in . There are two teleportation portals here . The portal nearest to us is in the middle of the forest . ”
After the meal, Bai Kai started performing an analysis of their current situation . He was the only one who could take on this role among them . After all, there were four big shots and five little brothers in their group . Apart from him, who else could take on this role?
“You’re all originally allocated to this locale?”
Bai Xiaofei asked and looked at everyone . Everyone nodded .
“I’m wondering how the others are doing in the other locales . ”
Bai Xiaofei sighed, appearing somewhat dispirited . Suddenly, the perverted-looking guy from class 21 stepped out .
“Boss Bai, I might have some information . ”
Everyone looked over at the same time . The perverted-looking guy took this chance to introduce himself .
“Hello, fellow beauties and bosses . Hello, Boss Bai . I am Yang Wei, an Assassin Stream puppet master . I come from a rather unique family . My father is a fortune teller and is working an easy job at the Revelation Pavilion . Therefore, I am quite good in matters concerning the five elements . ” (TL note: Five Elements Theory is a Chinese philosophy used to describe interactions and relationships between things . In short, one needs to learn the five elements to learn fortune telling)
Yang Wei finished his introduction and stopped to smile . Before anyone lost their patience, he continued .

“Based on the name of this locale, we are probably in an illusionary land comprised of five locales of five different elements . We are in the Wood Realm, and joined with our locale are the Earth and Gold Realms . Both these elements countered the wood element . I can’t imagine what the Gold Realm looks like . But if we use the Wood Realm as the basis, the Earth Realm is probably a piece of desolate land . ”
Quite a few of them were stunned after hearing his explanation . Everyone thought that Yang Wei was only a pervert who knew nothing . It would seem like he was still useful when it mattered .
“Li Li, can you sense a dense elemental power when you’re in here?” (TL note: The Chinese will sometimes call the last character of a person’s name two times as a form of endearment)
Unlike the others, Bai Xiaofei was already thinking of their next step . Lin Li blanked slightly when he asked .
“Yeah . I can sense a power full of vitality here . But mother once told me that this is actually the power of life…”
Lin Li said, somewhat doubtful . Yang Wei immediately added an explanation .
“That will be correct . In the theory of five elements, the wood is the representative of life as well . Trust me, Boss Bai . I can’t be wrong . ”
Yang Wei continued trying to prove himself . Bai Xiaofei sank into thought .
“Fine . If that is the case, we have no choice but to go look for our old friend . ”

As Bai Xiaofei spoke, he recollected the time when he was playing rock-paper-scissors with that old friend .
Since you are not being kind, don’t blame me for my retaliation! If I don’t beat you up to the point you regret your decision, I will be writing my name upside down in the future . Today, I will teach you that 100 million isn’t that easy to earn!
Bai Xiaofei vowed to himself . He then brought everyone towards the Wood Realm . Since Tai Shan was an Energy Stream puppet master, he would certainly head towards the locale with a matching element . This was a choice he would make unless he was damaged in his head .
While this was happening, Mo Ka’s group of six was in the vicinity of the teleportation portal connecting the Earth Realm and the Wood Realm . Things were not looking good for them . As Bai Xiaofei had guessed, Tai Shan’s group had indeed decided to head towards the Earth Realm after leaving the Wood Realm . There, they encountered Mo Ka’s group who was also heading towards the portal .
As far as Tai Shan was concerned, if he couldn’t be the one to eliminate Lin Li, he would settle with eliminating a few inconsequential characters of the Savage Class . After all, each of them was equivalent to one million Amethyst Coins . With this in mind, Tai Shan led his group to start attacking them . However, after the fight started, he found that things weren’t developing as he had guessed .
Although they seemed to be holding the advantage in this conflict with them suppressing Mo Ka’s group all along, the fight had been dragged on for more than ten minutes . Mo Ka’s group of six was still perfectly fine . On his side, only five were left of the original eight . The other three had been eliminated by Wang Hang who was moving in concealment .
“Attacking from concealment continuously will require a huge amount of origin energy . You won’t be able to last long like this . ”
Tai Shan clenched his teeth and looked at Wang Hang who had just reappeared, wishing he could finish Wang Hang with one punch . When Wang Hang first appeared, Tai Shan was his first target . Tai Shan would have followed Fang Yuesheng’s footsteps by now if it hadn’t been for his third puppet .
Tai Shan was correct . Wang Hang was nearly out of energy and could only use his Shadowflash Shoes one more time . Moreover, he could no longer conceal himself for more than three seconds .

Mo Ka and the others were even worse off . They could only focus on preserving their lives . Their survival might have seemed easy; however, a gap did exist between them and Tai Shan, a Master Rank puppet master . Therefore, what they did might look effortless but in truth, it was not easy at all .
Mo Ka’s Floating Blade had only been able to threaten Tai Shan on the first attack . After that, he was never given a chance to send his blade up in the air . It was thanks to the Ming brothers and Chen Hui’s frost abilities that he could last this long .
As for Qi Wei, it’s as if she wasn’t even here . She might be useful when dealing with those at her level . But facing Tai Shan, she couldn’t even get near him .
“This is my final attack . Prepare to be eliminated . ”
The soil around them had long been transformed into sand by Tai Shan . After he spoke, the sand he controlled rose up . Before long, a huge amount of sand had gathered, reaching the point where the sky seemed to have been blotted out .
“Sand Funeral!”
“Splendor of the Thousand Stars!”
Just as Wang Hang and the others had given up, a familiar voice rang out . Then, the wave of sand that was supposed to come blasting paused midair . Slowly, the particles of sand turned into a ball of sand . Tai Shan’s heart tightened instinctively when he felt a familiar sensation . He looked towards the direction of the voice and gulped . Indeed, it was Lin Li!
Unlike before, Lin Li was already capable of flight! Of course, only Tai Shan’s group was surprised that Lin Li could fly . Lin Li had been able to fly ever since she had obtained the Thousand Star . She had merely been hiding her strength in the past . As a result, she had never used the Thousand Star in public before . It was different now as she no longer needed to hide her strength .
“Long time no see, old friend!”
Before Tai Shan had even recovered from his shock of seeing Lin Li, a voice that caused his scalp to go numb rang out .
Bai Xiaofei!
Tai Shan was greatly shocked while a bad premonition started rising within him . He would probably have to reveal all his trump cards now .
“What’s going on? It hasn’t been that long since we last met . Has Brother Tai Shan forgotten me already? Or perhaps you are too embarrassed to speak with me?”
As Bai Xiaofei spoke, his voice grew chilly . Tai Shan clenched his teeth and looked at Bai Xiaofei .
“It’s not like we are that close anyway . For our benefit, we accepted a mission that would satisfy both sides . Why not?”
Tai Shan decided to stop all pretenses and was behaving like a completely different person from how he had behaved during the elimination matches .
“Well said!”
Bai Xiaofei clapped . Then, a delighted expression started spreading on his face .
“I love straightforward people like you . Well, no point in talking then . Let’s do it!”
