Mana Revival: Starting by Sacrificing the Campus Belle!

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: An Extreme One-vs-Two Gamble?

Xia Yunmeng, who had been chatting casually, suddenly heard a loud bang from Fang Xiu’s end.

”I’m fine, Teacher! Another Demon Beast. I’m running for it!”

Fang Xiu’s voice came through.

Xia Yunmeng stared at her phone, speechless.

’How long has it been? How did Fang Xiu run into another Demon Beast already?’

’The school’s Gate World isn’t that big, but there aren’t that many Demon Beasts either!’

And yet, he had somehow managed to run into two of them in just over ten minutes.

But Fang Xiu was Level 10 now, so Xia Yunmeng felt a little more at ease.

Just as Fang Xiu had said, a Level 10 had a fighting chance against a Level 12.

’Wait, Fang Xiu is a Sacrificial Master!’

Suddenly, Xia Yunmeng remembered Fang Xiu’s Profession.

At this thought, she quickly sped up.

Meanwhile, on Fang Xiu’s side, he hadn’t run into any Demon Beast.

He had run into two people.

They were both men, and from the looks of them, they weren’t students. They looked more like thugs from outside.

The one who had just attacked him was one of the two, using the Skill—Falling Rock.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the man was a Rock Element Awakened.

Fang Xiu hadn’t been in conflict with anyone recently, except for his feud with Lu Yu’Er.

”Did Lu Yu’Er send you?”

Fang Xiu asked directly.

Hearing this, the two men’s expressions shifted slightly.

’We just made our move and we’ve already been identified?’

”Cut the crap. Someone just wants you dead!”

One of them, Yu Boyuan, sneered as he spoke.

They were Awakened as well. In fact, Yu Boyuan was a C Level Awakened, and his Level was as high as fifteen.

But they rarely hunted Demon Beasts.

They would only take risks when they were short on cash.

Otherwise, they just spent their time bullying the weak.

This time, his goddess had actually sought him out. She’d even promised that if he succeeded in killing this Fang Xiu, she’d go to a hotel with him.

Although Yu Boyuan’s Awakening Level was higher than Lu Yu’Er’s, and he could have just used force...

...it was the family behind Lu Yu’Er that he truly feared.

’As for Fang Xiu... I’ve already investigated him. A rich orphan.’

’Once I kill Fang Xiu, that villa will be mine.’

”This is the school’s Gate World. I don’t know how you snuck in, but all I have to do is press this watch, and the nearby teachers will come running!”

Fang Xiu said with a faint smile.

He had no idea how these two had found him.

After all, everyone was separated upon entering the Gate World.

It was impossible that the two people trying to kill him just happened to be teleported to the same location as him.

His luck couldn’t be that bad.

The only explanation was that they had a way to find him within such a large Gate World in a very short amount of time.

”Heh, nearby teachers? Don’t worry. We’ll kill you before they get here. We have plenty of time.”

Yu Boyuan sneered. ”You’re just a Sacrificial Master. How long do you think you can last?”

”So you know I’m a Sacrificial Master?”

Fang Xiu said, ”In that case, aren’t you afraid I’ll Sacrifice you?”

”Heh, if you Sacrifice me, you’ll die too. A one-for-one trade? There are two of us. No matter which one of us dies, you’ll still die, and we’ll have completed our mission!”

In truth, Yu Boyuan had already prepared for this possibility.

That was why he had brought someone else with him.

Otherwise, with his formidable Level 15 strength, killing a newly Awakened Sacrificial Master would have been a piece of cake.

By bringing another person, just as he said, one of them would still survive even if Fang Xiu managed a one-for-one trade.

Of course, Yu Boyuan hoped he would be the one to survive.

That’s why he’d brought along his good friend, a Rock Element Awakened.

’His ranged Attack is more suitable. Maybe he can interrupt Fang Xiu when he tries to use Sacrifice.’

’If that doesn’t work, and he keeps attacking, Fang Xiu will probably choose to Sacrifice the ranged attacker instead.’

These were Yu Boyuan’s thoughts.

After hearing him out, Fang Xiu was speechless.

”Um... My Sacrifice doesn’t have a target limit. As long as I have enough Spiritual Power, I can Sacrifice both of you at once.”

Fang Xiu added as a reminder, ”And with my current Spiritual Power, forget two people—I have enough for twenty.”

”Huh?”

When they heard this, both Yu Boyuan and the Rock Element Awakened froze.

That was something they hadn’t considered!

”Shit! That’s a two-for-one trade! We’d be losing out!”

The Rock Element Awakened was the first to react.

He couldn’t help but feel a little scared.

He had listened to Yu Boyuan before, but his thinking was that this whole thing was Yu Boyuan’s idea, and Yu Boyuan was the one who wanted to commit the murder.

’So when Fang Xiu uses Sacrifice, he’ll definitely Sacrifice the main culprit.’

’And I’d be the one to benefit in the end!’

But he’d never imagined a Sacrificial Master could Sacrifice two people!

”So? Still want to take your chances?”

Fang Xiu’s expression was completely relaxed.

He looked as if he were just watching a show.

But internally, he was freaking out.

After all, he was just a Sacrificial Master.

He had no desire to trade his one life for these two guys’ lives.

His path as an Awakened had just begun. There was no way he was going to let two guys get the better of him like this.

So Fang Xiu was just stalling for time. As long as he could wait for Xia Yunmeng to arrive, this problem would be solved.

And just as Fang Xiu had predicted, the two of them didn’t dare to make a rash move. They probably hadn’t thought things through that far.

BEEP BEEP BEEP...

Just then, a phone rang.

It wasn’t Fang Xiu’s, but Yu Boyuan’s.

”Hello.”

Yu Boyuan answered the call.

Lu Yu’Er’s voice came from the other end. ”Yu Boyuan, hurry up and attack! He’s stalling for time! A teacher is already heading your way.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of both Yu Boyuan and Fang Xiu changed.

Yu Boyuan was shocked that a teacher was already on their way so quickly.

Fang Xiu, on the other hand, was wondering how Lu Yu’Er knew Xia Yunmeng was coming.

’Can she predict Xia Yunmeng’s route and is waiting there?’

’Or is it just a coincidence? Was Lu Yu’Er waiting over there and just happened to see Xia Yunmeng pass by?’

’Or perhaps...’

’...someone notified Lu Yu’Er that Xia Yunmeng was on her way?’

’If that’s really the case, then this Lu Yu’Er has some skills. It seems it’ll take some effort to Sacrifice her without anyone noticing.’

Fang Xiu was quite surprised himself.

At this moment, Yu Boyuan seemed to have made up his mind. He said to the man beside him, ”You use ranged Attacks to interrupt his casting and stop him from Sacrificing us. I’ll go in and kill him directly!”

”Okay!”

The Rock Element Awakened nodded, his face grim.

’A teacher is coming. Can we even succeed?’

”ROAR!”

After speaking, Yu Boyuan let out a furious roar that sounded like a beast’s cry. Then, his clothes burst apart!
