Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy-Chapter 470 - 464: Quick Battle!

This instance is an aboveground A-level instance in Song City. Because the rift fluctuation value has always been stable, it was temporarily included in the list of instances that do not need to be raided.

But recently, instances in all cities have become unstable and irritable, with Magic Beast Tides frequently happening. Perhaps by a stroke of luck, the Demon Locusts inside found a crack in the instance, and after Qian Qi’s various operations, the instance now requires urgent raiding.

Upon entering the instance, the live streaming screen lost its network support and was cut off.

Qian Qi turned off the Light Brain with a snap, his expression quickly becoming serious, "Senior, Qingshan Xuediao at 30 kilometers northwest!"

"Understood." Su Ang nodded.

Xi Pingzhe barely had time to react before being lifted by Su Ang by the belt of his Combat Armor. He was taken back into the air alongside Su Ang and Qian Qi, and began flying again.

"Let go of me! I can run by myself!" Xi Pingzhe struggled.

The silver-haired young man laughed lightly, "It’s fine, you’re not heavy."

Xi Pingzhe was so angry his ahoge trembled, "Bah! I bet you’re just jealous that Master was always holding my little hand before! You scheming man!"

The three of them rapidly advanced towards the boss Magic Beast’s direction, while a mighty wave of Demon Locusts still pursued relentlessly behind them, creating an awe-inspiring scene.

Meanwhile, at 30 kilometers northwest, Qingshan Xuediao was unaware of what it was about to face.

Qingshan Xuediao stood lazily by a clear natural spring, leisurely preening its feathers, gently rubbing its beak against the pebbles on the pool’s edge, creating a crisp "tap-tap" sound.

Once it finished grooming its snowy blue feathers, Qingshan Xuediao was about to catch some magic fish in the mountain stream on the neighboring hill when it saw the birds in the forest flying wildly, and a dark cloud of something unknown rapidly approaching from afar.

"Chuu啊?"

Squinting, Qingshan Xuediao, using its excellent vision, finally recognized what that dark cloud was.

"Chuu—damn!"

Seeing it was a Magic Locust Tide, Qingshan Xuediao’s face instantly turned grim. It immediately flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

Normally, small eagles eat big bugs, but facing the devouring force of a Magic Locust Tide, even an A-level Magical Beast would be reduced to bones. How could a lone flying Magical Beast withstand a swarm of fierce insects?

Only foolish beasts would attempt that!

Fortunately, these Magic Locust Tides generally wouldn’t fly too high on their own. As long as it flew a little higher...

Qingshan Xuediao shot straight into the clouds, and upon reaching a certain altitude, it was about to breathe a sigh of relief when it saw the originally linear Magic Locust Tide suddenly rising straight up towards it!

Qingshan Xuediao: ???

What?

Qingshan Xuediao was dumbfounded. Squinting again, it finally spotted three humans at the forefront of the Magic Locust Tide.

"Damn it!" Qingshan Xuediao then realized it was these three humans who had provoked the Magic Locust Tide. Now, these three clearly intended to divert the disaster and drag it down with them!

With a nasty curse in bird language, Qingshan Xuediao swiftly raised its wings and flew rapidly northward!

"Senior, let’s make this quick!" At this moment, Qian Qi suddenly commanded.

"Got it."

The silver-haired young man responded, releasing Xi Pingzhe in his hand, casually gazing at Qingshan Xuediao. An invisible spiritual power shot out swiftly as a giant hand, tightly gripping Qingshan Xuediao’s brain nerves.

Qingshan Xuediao’s mind briefly blanked, losing control of its body and plummeting straight towards the ground.

Su Ang gently raised his hand, and dozens of sharp Spirit Blades carved into Qingshan Xuediao’s body. The pain covering its body briefly allowed Qingshan Xuediao to regain consciousness, issuing several sharp sonic ice attacks at the three!

"Caw ho—"

Su Ang raised his hand, and a massive Spirit Shield suddenly appeared in the center, blocking all the ice attacks.

Seeing its attacks were ineffective, Qingshan Xuediao let out an angry cry. Swinging its wings in a great sweep, four tornadoes, wrapped with countless ice shards, swept forth, freezing everything in their path and turning it into frost that was then swept into the tornadoes, advancing towards Qian Qi and the others!

The silver-haired young man’s expression remained unchanged. This kind of battle, he had experienced countless times already. In the history of his battles, it was even one of the weakest kinds. He lightly waved his hand, and an invisible pulse of spiritual power precisely passed through the safe zone of the tornado and struck Qingshan Xuediao’s forehead.

In front of him, several tornadoes arose out of nowhere, colliding with those ice tornadoes. The collision of wind and ice swallowed the ice tornadoes completely, the hard ice fragments being propelled by the force of the collision, shooting into the sky. Some flew directly towards the Magic Locust Tide, freezing or slicing up the Demon Locusts within.

Amongst them, one ice fragment brushed past Qian Qi’s cheek at high speed, leaving a long, conspicuous blood mark. However, instead of anger, Qian Qi laughed, his snow-bright eyes filled with a gradually igniting battle intent and some mischief.

"Little disciple! Here’s your chance to shine!" She laughed mischievously, grabbing the belt on Xi Pingzhe’s Combat Armor.

For the second time, before Xi Pingzhe could react, he felt like a shot put being lifted by an athlete. With a superior throw from Qian Qi, he whizzed towards the spiritually controlled Qingshan Xuediao!

In his ears, the sound of the wind cutting like a knife resounded. That extreme speed of free-fall and force was like his body being forcibly endowed with A-level "Origin" strength. Upon crashing onto Qingshan Xuediao, he almost felt like his whole body was breaking apart. The impact on Qingshan Xuediao’s heart made it cough up a mouthful of blood, almost on its last breath. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Xi Pingzhe embraced Qingshan Xuediao heartbrokenly.

Boohoo, old friend, we’re both in the same plight...

Xi Pingzhe and Qingshan Xuediao fell to the ground together, creating a huge crater, raising a cloud of dust.

Qian Qi and Su Ang landed, running towards the big pit, seeing Xi Pingzhe lying on Qingshan Xuediao, weakly reaching out towards them, "Master... next time, can you please give a heads-up before throwing someone..."

He almost developed a fear of heights.

"Didn’t I give a heads-up?" Qian Qi ran over, nudging Qingshan Xuediao with a foot, "Tsk, not dead yet?"

Saying so, she pulled the dagger from her waist, handed it to Xi Pingzhe, and urged, "Hurry up, kill it."

Xi Pingzhe struggled to get up, trembling hands holding the knife and plunging it into the already bloody Qingshan Xuediao.

[Wuhu~ Congratulations to someone’s little disciple for cracking the A-level instance~ and obtaining the A-level Ice Attribute Skill - Cold Ice Tornado!]

[Congratulations to someone’s little disciple for obtaining the A-level Support Skill - Eagle Eye!]

[Instance Drop Bonus Reward - A-level Ice Wing Flight Ability!]

"Ice Wing Flight Ability!" Qian Qi’s eyes instantly widened, looking at Xi Pingzhe with eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, "Damn! Why didn’t you say earlier! I would’ve kept it for myself if I had known!"

Xi Pingzhe: "Huh?"

Should I... cough it back up for you, Master?

[Forget it, extra rewards have only a one-in-ten-thousand drop chance, you’ve done so many instances and never got one, do you really think you’re that lucky?] The system picked its nose, grudgingly saying, [This kid’s luck is absurdly good, damn it, it reminded me how he drew several drops of the Black Mysterious River Water from me!]

Qian Qi stared at Xi Pingzhe jealously, not forgetting to joke, "Little Zhe, you must give all your future fortune to your master, okay~"

Xi Pingzhe patted his chest, nearly cried out from the pain pulling his sore muscles, "Master, rest assured, once my grandfather and brother are dead, all the inheritance is yours!"

On the school bus next to Song City, in the Song City War Zone, both Xi Mingde and Xi Ye sneezed simultaneously, "Ah-choo—!"
