"I don't think so," Liu Zhengyan said with a smile.
"Why?" Wang Fei asked Liu Zhengyan, perplexed.
Anyone who had seen the video of Zhou Wen and Li Xuan battling the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus would know that Zhou Wen and company had the strength to slay it. They were just short of the final strike.
Now that they had four stronger people, it didn't make sense for them to fail.
"Take a look at this first." Liu Zhengyan switched on his phone and clicked on a video.
"This is the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus? I don't think it's this one, right? " Wang Fei glanced at the video and immediately saw a few soldiers controlling their Companion Beasts to fight the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus.
Liu Zhengyan said, "This is the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus that the army discovered elsewhere in Underground Buddha City. They mobilized five Legendary Companion Beasts, but they suffered heavy losses and were nearly wiped out."
"There's actually such a thing?" Wang Fei was somewhat alarmed.
Liu Zhengyan pulled the video to the end and made Wang Fei watch it carefully. The final scene was the scene of twenty to thirty blood fountains spewing out from the lotus platform.
The five Legendary Companion Beasts were drenched in blood as their bodies rotted. They fell into the lotus pond with tragic cries, leaving nothing behind.
"The blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus actually has such an ability. Should we stop Hui Haifeng and company?" Wang Fei said with a frown after watching the video.
Liu Zhengyan shook his head and said, "We can warn them now. In the future, when they enter unknown dimensional zones to explore, who can warn them? Cruel reality is the best teacher. Today, they only need to pay the price of a few Companion Beasts, but the experience they gain might save their lives in the future. "
Wang Fei nodded slightly. What Liu Zhengyan said was right. In school, the dimensional zones they came into contact with were areas that the army had already explored. It wasn't dangerous enough, making some students belittle dimensional zones. It was good to let them suffer a little.
"Teacher Liu, what do you think of Zhou Wen's student?" Wang Fei's gaze landed on Zhou Wen, who was commanding the battle.
"To be honest, although his and Li Xuan's performance was spectacular, I think more highly of Li Xuan in terms of potential. After all, to go further, just relying on talent and hard work isn't enough. Besides, I heard that Zhou Wen is addicted to gaming. I'm afraid he won't amount to much." Liu Zhengyan paused and looked at Wang Fei. "Zhou Wen's class should be led by you, right? I'm afraid you'll have to work a little harder. "
Wang Fei nodded and looked meaningfully at the distant Zhou Wen. She muttered to herself, "I don't think so. This Zhou Wen might be a very interesting fellow."
Under Zhou Wen's command, the four Companion Beasts attacked the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus. Hui Haifeng and company were very cooperative, and their ability to control Companion Beasts was also very strong. Soon, they tore through the blood Buddha petals and slayed the toad.
After the toad self-destructed, the four of them controlled their Companion Beasts to charge at the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus in a bid to slay it.
"Windchime Bird, Blood Raven, retreat ten meters. Water Vines, retreat fifteen meters. Raven Tengu, move seven meters to the left. At the same time, shoot out feather attacks," Zhou Wen instructed.
With victory at hand and the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus on the brink of collapse, the boy controlling the Blood Raven said in excitement, "Let me complete the final strike. Blood Raven, activate Blood Feather Storm!"
Hui Haifeng and Nana controlled their Companion Beasts to retreat according to Zhou Wen's instructions. However, the boy didn't let the Blood Raven retreat. Instead, he delivered the final strike.
This was because everything had gone too smoothly. It was so smooth that he believed that he didn't need Zhou Wen's help.
He saw the blood feather strike the lotus platform, immediately riddling it with wounds as though it was about to crack. Just as the boy was feeling smug, he heard a boom.
The lotus platform exploded as twenty to thirty blood fountains shot into the sky. Instantly, it turned into a rain of blood that blanketed the area.
Hui Haifeng and company's Companion Beasts had already retreated according to Zhou Wen's instructions. They calmly reacted and retreated out of the range of the blood rain.
As the Blood Raven hadn't retreated a step earlier, it was too close to the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus. It couldn't escape in time and was drenched by the blood rain.
Caw!
The Blood Raven let out a tragic cry as most of its feathers rotted away. It fell straight into the lotus pond, making the other students draw a cold gasp. The boy's expression turned nasty.
Zhou Wen didn't say a word as he continued commanding. "Windchime Bird, use your Primordial Energy Skill to attack the flower stem. Raven Tengu, use your feather attacks to provide cover. Water Vines, prepare to catch the lotus flower."
Under Zhou Wen's command, the trio successfully slew the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus and dragged the damaged lotus flower out.
"Junior, not bad," Nana said with a smile.
"I'm not responsible for the Blood Raven's death. I won't compensate you," Zhou Wen said.
The boy controlling the Blood Raven blushed when he heard that. He said in embarrassment, "There's no need to compensate me. I'm sorry. I was too anxious. Zhou Wen, you are indeed something. How did you know that the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus had such a self-harming move?"
"When facing any dimensional creature, one has to be fearful. Otherwise, one might pay the price with their lives. I'm only doing my best to prevent any accidents from happening," Zhou Wen casually gave a reason.
"Thank you for this; otherwise, we would have suffered heavy losses," Hui Haifeng said with narrowed eyes. He didn't care about the losses, but Zhou Wen's performance piqued his interest.
"I'm paid to do things. It's only right. If there's nothing else, I'll be heading back." Zhou Wen turned and left after saying that. He was bent on entering Small Buddha Temple's main hall to investigate, so he wasn't in the mood to say anything else.
Gao Yang watched Zhou Wen leave with a complicated expression. He had always felt that Hui Haifeng's hiring of Zhou Wen was unnecessary, but from the looks of it, without Zhou Wen, it was very likely that the four Companion Beasts would have died. The loss was greater than losing a Companion Egg.
Liu Zhengyan wore an odd expression as well. "Strange. Could it be that he has connections in the military and has seen this video?"
Wang Fei said with a smile, "Don't you know that Zhou Wen's stay in Four Seasons Garden was arranged by the An family?"
"I see. No wonder." Only then did Liu Zhengyan come to a realization.
However, Wang Fei narrowed her eyes as she looked in the direction of Zhou Wen's departure. There was something she didn't say. Although Zhou Wen has a deep relationship with the An family, it's absolutely impossible for him to obtain information from them. How did this fellow do it to such an extent? What an interesting fellow. From the looks of it, there's a need to gain a deeper understanding of him. Just treat it as helping Xiaolan.
