Chapter 82.1
Why Couldn't He Behave as a Collection and be Taken Away by Him? (1)
The heat wave came with the smell of smoke and burning.
The dragon's wings cut through the clouds, eyes like a blazing fire glaring in the sky's darkness, and suddenly swooped down.
It let out a deafening roar-
In an instant, the wind howled, and the earth shook.
The silver-haired man stood holding his sword, his deep blue eyes reflecting the magnified shadow of the dragon.
His pupils were slightly dilated by excitement as if catching the scent of bloody beasts.
A feverish light swept under his eyes. The external hostility was like a sharp blade, cutting through the surface of indifference, tainted with a very aggressive desire to kill.
It was a dragon.
The dragon attacked in the blink of an eye. Its wings lifted a strong airflow and giant sharp claws were directed straight toward the human on the ground!
But before the claw tips touched the human, the opponent's body suddenly disappeared.
The next second, the air behind the dragon was flooded with powerful magical fluctuations.
The man's slender and upright figure appeared in mid-air.
The steel-blue eyes glittered with bloodthirsty shimmer and the corners of his thin lips subconsciously lifted upward to reveal the tips of his sharp snow-white teeth.
The long sword condensed with magic power, cutting through with a bright white light.
In the darkness, the sword light was the only source of light, with a force of 10,000 pounds, straight to the dragon's defenseless back-
However, the dragon seems to sense the intense murderous aura behind it.
It let out a roar and swung both wings fiercely, pulling up from the ground. The high-heat air flowed fiercely toward the human, lifting the other away.
Mu Heng landed lightly on top of a jagged mountain rock.
He looked up at the dragon overhead, revealing a cold smile without warmth.
Hello, my prey.

On the other hand, Wen Yao led the Bureau members and urgently organized the evacuation of the students.
Without a detector, one could still perceive the magic fluctuations coming from near: intense, dangerous, dark, and horrible.
The ground trembled with it like a landslide and one could not help but feel frightened.
Wen Yao clenched her teeth, forcing herself not to worry about the battle not far away, concentrating on the work in front of her.
The good news was that they shouldn't worry about information leakage this time.
The Ability Academy had been completely sealed off for a hundred meters, the darkness released from the abyssal rift enveloping the entire area, and the signal was blocked entirely.
But at the same, this also brought with it terrible news.
The communication between sub-teams was utterly cut off and each team could only fight independently with no backup and no light.
Even the Bureau headquarters could not fully control the current battle situation.
The Ability Academy was too big and the various areas were severely divided from each other.
Fortunately, it was curfew time when it happened, which created great convenience for their evacuation work.
After all, the students were also Abilities and had some competence in crisis management. They maintained order and calmness and cooperated with the Bureau members as quickly as possible.
Soon, Wen Yao and the others evacuated the first-year students.
There were several more familiar faces in the crowd.
Wen Yao gazed in one direction in the crowd and rested her gaze slightly on one of the students.
This face... should be Shi An's half-brother?
He looked as if he was frightened out of his mind and his eyes were evasive.
Although the other students also looked equally alarmed, Shi Rui always looked... odd.
Wen Yao frowned and withdrew her gaze.
Was it an illusion?
While she was lost in thought, a commotion suddenly came from the side of the line.
A student was seen standing in the same place and trying to communicate with the Bureau's staff.
"... My roommate hasn't returned yet! Can you -"
At this time, Wen Yao saw with hindsight that Shi Rui, who had just been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his eyes and looked in the direction from which the chaos came.
That pale, cowering, weak face slowly blossomed into a small, untraceable smile.
That smile seems to carry an extreme pleasure, grim and malicious. Although only for a moment, it made one's scalp tingle.
Wen Yao frowned.
She turned around and walked toward the student who was pestering them.
When the Bureau staff saw her arrive, they made way for her. "Captain Wen."
Wen Yao looked at the student and asked in a smooth and calm tone. "What's your name?"
The student settled down and replied, "Lin Yanming."
"What's the matter?"
Lin Yanming took a deep breath. A worried and anxious look showed from under the surface of forced composure. "Before the Bureau arrived, my roommate suddenly left the dorm and hasn't returned. I wonder if you could send someone to look for him. I'm distraught..."
A member of the Bureau on the side frowned and asked, "Why would your roommate choose to leave at this time? Where did he go?"
Lin Yanming was momentarily dumbfounded. "..."
After two seconds of silence, he said, "I also don't know."
The Bureau member sighed. "We're severely short-staffed now. You don't have a specific direction, so we also can't-"
He did not finish his words, only to see Wen Yao on the side raise her hand and interrupt the other party's following words.
She asked, "Who is your roommate?"
Lin Yanming looked at Wen Yao expectantly and said, "Shi An."
Although she already had a hunch, Wen Yao still couldn't help but feel slightly stunned.
She twisted her head and looked toward the stream of people behind her.
Shi Rui's figure was already drowned out and had disappeared into the crowd.
Wen Yao narrowed her eyes.
She turned her head to look at Lin Yanming.
"I will see what we can do."
Watching the other party turn to leave, Wen Yao pursed her lips.
Although she said so just now, no one knew better than her that they could not afford to spare any staff to search for the missing Shi An in this current situation.
Everything could only start after the most important work was finished.
Wen Yao closed her eyes forcefully.
At least... Shi An was powerful, even more so than many of the official members of the Bureau.
Although temporarily unable to send someone to find him, there were some things she could do now.
Wen Yao turned around, called one of her men to her, and said, "After the evacuation, let the first-year Ability named Shi Rui stay behind and wait for me to interrogate him."
