Chapter 136 News about Chen Yue

In the exchange room, an old man with a white beard was flipping through an ancient book out of boredom.

Hearing the movement at the door, he looked up and saw the young Luo Feng walking in. He smiled and said, “Oh? Little guy, you have collected enough thunder stones so quickly. It’s surprising.”

He sneered in his heart, full of speculation and disdain for Luo Feng. He must be a core member of a big family or royal family, right? Otherwise, how could he get so many thunder stones on his own? I, an old man, can’t stand this kind of rich kid who bullies others by taking advantage of his power. Humph! Just wait and see how I play tricks on you!
“See what you can choose. This is the list you can redeem.” The old man smiled, but that smile was not necessarily sincere. “Because you are the first person to make a large exchange with me, I can give you some special discounts.” His voice was like a knife dipped in honey, sweet and needle-like. “You have a chance to redeem the inheritance crystal code!”

There was temptation in his words, as if he was inviting Luo Feng to step into a carefully designed trap. Otherwise, how could he easily give such a rare opportunity?

The old man was secretly pleased with himself, but there was always a gentle smile on the corner of his lips, as if everything was under control. He patiently waited for Luo Feng’s reaction, his eyes full of anticipation.

“I don’t want it.” Luo Feng answered without hesitation, his tone was as firm as iron, almost lowering the temperature in the air.

“Hmm?” The old man was slightly stunned and frowned, obviously surprised by such an answer.

“You are so eager to collect so many Thunder Stones, but you don’t plan to use them to exchange for the password of the inheritance crystal?” He looked at Luo Feng puzzledly, trying to find some clues from his expression.

“That’s right. I just want to know the news about my teacher. If you can tell me, I am willing to exchange all these thunder stones for it.” Luo Feng pointed at the pile of gleaming thunder stones on the table, with a hint of determination in his tone.

“Your teacher?” The white-bearded old man’s gaze lingered on Luo Feng for a moment.

“No wonder you are not interested in my master’s inheritance crystal. It turns out that there is another master who is guiding you! Tell me, who is your immortal teacher?” the old man said with a hint of sarcasm.

“My teacher is in this world within a world. He is also the young man who came with me to take the test.” Luo Feng explained, his eyes firm and revealing a hint of anxiety.

“Puff!” The old man almost spit out a mouthful of tea, and a flash of surprise passed through his eyes.

“Same as you? Your teacher? Stellar level?” the old man repeated in disbelief, with a hint of subtle ridicule in his voice.

“That’s right. After entering the world within the world, I lost contact with him.” Luo Feng continued, his words full of unquestionable conviction.

“I have gathered all those who are taking the test here. If you didn’t see him, it means he was swallowed by the black hole.” The old man said this coldly, as if he was stating an unchangeable fact.

“Impossible!” Luo Feng retorted loudly, with an unyielding will in his voice.

“If you don’t believe me, this world of thunder is under my control.” The old man said confidently, as if he was in control of the overall situation. His voice echoed in the empty room, sounding particularly heavy.

hum-

Luo Feng felt as if there were millions of bees vibrating and buzzing in his mind. He frowned tightly, and a huge wave of emotions surged in his heart.

Did something really happen to the teacher? This thought struck his heart like thunder, and he almost didn’t dare to believe it.

The confidence he had accumulated over a long period of time was crumbling at this moment, but deep in his heart there was still a determination not to give up that supported him.

“Hey, I won’t be polite with these thunder stones.” The old man sneered, not caring about the complicated expression on Luo Feng’s face at all, and casually put those thunder stones flashing with blue electric light into his pocket one by one.

The Thunder Stone flashed a faint light in the old man’s hand, as if making a final struggle, and then disappeared.

Luo Feng watched all this and silently clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from excessive force.

He knew that he had to keep his mind steady at this moment and not be controlled by panic and loss. Chen Yue couldn’t just disappear in this world full of unknowns.
–
Luo Feng seemed to have lost his soul, staggering out of the room, his expression dazed, as if he had lost all hope. Hong and Lei Shen immediately stepped forward, their eyes full of concern and anxiety.

“How is it, third brother? Any news about Chen Yue?” Hong asked impatiently, with an anxious tone.

Luo Feng just shook his head lightly and let out a helpless sigh. The sigh was like a cool breeze, instantly making the air around him feel a bit bleak.

“What do you mean by shaking your head? Is there no news, or did something unexpected happen?” There was a hint of uneasiness in Thor’s voice, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was waiting for an answer but was afraid to hear some unfortunate reply.

At this moment, the air around seemed to solidify, and time seemed to be compressed to this moment.

Luo Feng’s silence was as heavy as a thousand pounds, making their hearts rise to their throats.

Luo Feng stared at Hong and Lei Shen standing in front of him, his heart filled with countless questions and uneasiness. “Brother, what should we do now?” he asked in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

The choice before them put them in a dilemma. One option was to stay here and search for the missing Chen Yue, but this also meant that they might be retaliated by other forces. Another option was to give up the search and take the opportunity to leave this dangerous world as soon as possible. However, as soon as this thought came up, Luo Feng felt a dull pain in his heart.

He clenched his fists, his fingertips turning pale due to excessive tension. Although he had a plan in mind, he still felt the need to discuss it with his companions. After all, they were a team.

Hong smiled faintly and shook his head, his eyes flashing with an unyielding and determined light. “Don’t ask me, I will definitely save Chen Yue.” He said, his tone full of unshakable determination. Chen Yue ventured into the Thunder World to save them, and he could not just watch and do nothing. Even if he obtained more Thunder Stones and exchanged them for more precious treasures, the burden in his heart could not be relieved.

“Third son! That’s not fair of you.” Lei Shen interrupted with a hint of dissatisfaction, “We all know your relationship with Chen Yue, how could you not save him?” He paused, and added, “Besides, Chen Yue has saved me many times, it is even more impossible for me to abandon him.”

No matter how difficult the road ahead is, they must fight side by side to find Chen Yue, and work with their partners to fight for the exciting treasure in this treacherous world.
–
The 50th day in a world within a world.

Luo Feng felt warm in his heart, knowing that no matter how dangerous the road was, he would always have trustworthy partners around him. Their determination cheered him up, as if he had found a direction in the haze.

“Okay, let’s go find Chen Yue together.” Luo Feng said firmly, his eyes regaining their former brilliance. He knew in his heart that no treasure could compare to the importance of his companions.

After discussing the plan, the three of them set out quickly, heading towards the depths of the world within the world. Along the way, thunder roared and lightning flashed, but in their hearts, the initial fear and uneasiness were no longer there.

They passed through one dangerous place after another, and crossed one obstacle after another, without stopping. However, Chen Yue’s whereabouts were still as elusive as fog.

In a hidden canyon, they stopped briefly to rest. Thor rubbed his sore shoulders and said with a hint of fatigue, “If we keep searching like this, we might get lost in this world of thunder.”

Hong’s eyes became more serious, and he nodded gently: “That’s right. We can’t keep searching aimlessly like this, we need to adjust our strategy.” Luo Feng pondered for a moment, and an idea flashed in his mind. “Perhaps, we can try to find other examinees to see if they have seen Chen Yue.” He suggested, with a hint of urgency and hope in his tone.

This proposal was immediately approved by Hong and Lei Shen. So, they acted quickly and consciously contacted other examinees, hoping to get some clues about Chen Yue from them. They ran around and asked questions, hoping to get any clues.

However, the reality was like a bucket of cold water. No one had ever seen Chen Yue. Disappointment and anxiety settled in the air.

Just when they were at a loss of what to do, suddenly, a solemn and authoritative voice echoed in the Thunder World, shaking the mind like thunder.

“Everyone leave the Thunder World! The assessment is over!”

Luo Feng was shocked, “Brother, this…” His voice was full of confusion and unwillingness. They had not found Chen Yue yet.

Hong sighed, with a hint of helplessness and heaviness between his brows. “Well, let’s go out first.” He said, his voice was low, but it was full of unquestionable determination. They had to leave this dangerous world. Although they were worried, they knew that only by staying alive could they find Chen Yue again.
–
At the entrance of Thunder World, a villa stood quietly. At this time, people walked out of the exit one after another, with different expressions.

Brolin stood in front of the team, frowning slightly, his eyes fixed on Luo Feng. He glanced around, but didn’t see Chen Yue, and he felt uneasy. Could it be that Chen Yue really met with an accident?

“Luo Feng, is there still no news about Chen Yue?” Brolin put aside his doubts and asked directly, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

Luo Feng’s face was as gloomy as water, he nodded slightly and remained silent. Brolin wanted to comfort him, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn’t say them, as if any words seemed pale and powerless.

At the same time, in the crowd at the exit, McDaniel looked around anxiously, his eyes full of expectation and confusion. Why hasn’t Chen Yue come out yet? He was filled with anxiety.

When he saw the first student from the Qianwu Dojo, he immediately walked up to him and asked anxiously, “Where is Chen Yue?”

The student stood there in a daze, looking bewildered, as if he didn’t know how to answer. There was a silent tension in the air, and everyone was waiting for an answer, but the answer was slow to emerge.

McDaniel immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. His voice echoed around like thunder: “Tell me! Where is Chen Yue?”

Li Youzhi lowered his head helplessly, his tone full of helplessness and regret: “Master, Chen Yue is missing and has not been found.”

“Impossible!” McDaniel roared, and his thunderous momentum burst out, making the air around him seem to solidify.

Not far away, several Realm Master-level warriors were hiding in the dark. When they felt this unparalleled pressure, their faces suddenly changed.

“This aura… this is actually an immortal powerful being!” One of them realized it instantly, and they were filled with inexplicable shock.

The old man who was hiding in the shadows was shocked and said in a trembling voice: “I remember… That was McDaniel, the third military leader of the Qianwu Universe.”

“The third military leader?!” The young Ma Hua was shocked, and a huge wave of emotions rose in his heart. In the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, the Realm Master level was already the top, and the Immortal Powerful Ones were the peak of the peak.

“Then what should we do?” Ma Hua asked anxiously.

“Let’s go, leave here immediately!” The old man made a prompt decision, with a flash of determination in his eyes. Although he didn’t know what happened exactly, all the students of Baihu Building were destroyed in the Thunder World. McDaniel’s anger clearly indicated that it was not a wise move to stay.

Ma Hua nodded and followed the old man closely. However, just as they were about to evacuate, a deafening sound swept through the air.

“Want to leave?!”

McDaniel’s voice was like thunder, and his momentum instantly swept the whole audience: “No one can leave!”

Suddenly, a powerful pressure enveloped everyone present, causing everyone to hold their breath.

Qinia, who was standing by, looked at McDaniel blankly and muttered to herself, “Something happened to Chen Yue, and the teacher is so angry.”

On Luo Feng’s wrist, Babata hurriedly whispered to him: “Be careful, Luo Feng! This is an immortal strongman! Don’t offend him.”

Luo Feng nodded solemnly, wondering in his heart: “Is he Chen Yue’s teacher? Otherwise why is he so angry?”

Hong and Lei Shen stood by, silent and not daring to act rashly.

Brolin also recognized McDaniel and was shocked: “Oh my God! It seems that I guessed right. There is an immortal behind Chen Yue.”

However, thinking of Chen Yue’s situation, Brolin couldn’t help but feel a little sad: “Fortunately, I didn’t attack Chen Yue’s friends in the world within the world. I hope Chen Yue is safe.”

McDaniel turned his gaze to Qinia. His tone softened a little, but he remained firm: “I won’t make things difficult for you. After I question everyone present one by one, if there is nothing unusual, I will let them go.”

Qiniya nodded slightly, but she had a lot to say in her heart. She hesitated: “Teacher, if Chen Yue really…”

She didn’t finish her words, but the implication was clear enough. As a veteran who had gone through many cosmic mercenary training tests, she knew very well that once the Thunder World was closed, even if the people inside barely survived, it would be extremely difficult for them to return to this world.

McDaniel was silent for a moment, with a trace of worry in his eyes. He knew in his heart that facing the possibility of loss, he must remain calm and rational, and not let his emotions influence his judgment.

The air around them was as heavy as lead, and everyone held their breath, fearing that the tense silence would be broken. There was an invisible sense of oppression in the air, like the calm before a storm.

Qinia’s eyes showed some uneasiness. She had great trust in McDaniel, but the fear of the unknown still hovered in her heart. She prayed silently, hoping that things would not develop to the point of no return.

“Chen Yue will be fine!”

McDaniel said.

“Nothing can happen!”
