A student fell apart in front of Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao's body was stooped, his hands naturally dropped, and his palms and arms were trembling.
"Have you reached your limit?"
Taking his hands back and placing them on his knees, Ye Xiao's rapid breathing eased slightly. Sweat kept overflowing from his forehead and slid down his cheeks in strands.
The eyelids opened weakly, and what appeared in his eyes were hazy and shaky double images. His head felt as if it had been struck by lightning, and the swelling made Ye Xiao feel pain.
Around him, there were only about a dozen figures still standing at this time. The rest had fallen to the ground, but most of them were already in a coma.
"Ahem!"
Following a slight cough, Ye Xiao's hands suddenly slipped from his knees, and his body suddenly staggered forward, almost falling directly to the ground.
It had to be said that fighting against thousands of people at the same time was too powerful, and the excessive physical exertion made Ye Xiao feel extremely sore all over his body.
Moreover, the loss of body water due to sweating at this time also made his throat unbearably dry.
Of course, the physical exertion was only part of it. During the battle with more than a thousand people, Ye Xiao was hit by them more or less.
Although the force was not strong and the number of times was not many, but based on his weak body at this time, the pain caused by the blow was magnified a hundred times or a thousand times.
"He is already dead. Let's take action together and kill him in one go!"
There was an impatient shout in the ears, and then the remaining ten or so people were seen moving at the same time, punching towards Ye Xiao.
Before the fist came, the strong wind had already risen. Ye Xiao could only see a few blurry figures approaching him quickly, but his hands could no longer use the strength to fight against them.
"it's over!"
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, creating a bitter arc on Ye Xiao's cheeks. His legs trembled violently, and he could no longer support his body. He leaned forward and fell to the ground helplessly.
Before falling into coma, Ye Xiao seemed to feel someone putting an arm on his abdomen.
Through his eyelids that were not completely closed, he could faintly see that the dozen or so people who were rushing toward him had stopped.
An inaudible conversation rang in his ears, and then his eyes finally disappeared into darkness.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
Next to the hospital bed, the vital signs monitor beeped in an orderly manner.
With the activation of brain nerves, Ye Xiao slowly opened his eyes. The dazzling light illuminated him and he couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands.
"You're awake!"
A deep voice came from one side. After getting used to the light, Ye Xiao also saw clearly the appearance of the speaker.
"Old thing?"
With the bright light, Ye Xiao naturally looked towards a corner of the house, and saw a figure standing straight next to the window with his back to him. Outside the window was the endless night.
Through the picture reflected in the glass, you can see that this man is an old man over ninety years old, with pale hair and a bit of a hunchback. His face is also crisscrossed with traces of the passage of time.
Through Ye Xiao's words, we can already know that this person is the old guy he has been talking about, and he is also the current president of Kunlun College - Guan Yuan.
"Time flies so fast. Three more years have passed in a blink of an eye. I am older and you have grown up. Unfortunately, your extremely rude name for me has not changed at all."
"You're used to it, you can't change it!"
Ye Xiao responded angrily, but looked at Guan Yuan's back without blinking, his eyes full of reverence.
Obviously, although he is unforgiving on his words, deep down in his heart, he still has great respect for the old man.
"That's it! No matter what I say, you won't call me too polite. How do you feel? I feel better!"
Guan Yuan sighed, turned around, and looked at Ye Xiao carefully with a pair of deep eyes, which made Ye Xiao feel uncomfortable.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm very fine. Just those little brats with no hair on their backs won't cost me my life."
As he said that, Ye Xiao deliberately avoided Guan Yuan's sight, then frowned slightly, as if he remembered something, and looked at Guan Yuandao again:
"Speaking of this, I have a question to ask you."
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Whatever I know, I will answer for you." Guan Yuan had a smile on his face, with dense wrinkles, showing his amiable attitude.
"I want to know where all the people who entered school with me have gone, and why none of the familiar faces showed up when I was in the martial arts arena."
Seeing Guan Yuan speak, Ye Xiao got to the point directly.
"Hey, my intuition is quite sharp. It seems that the three years of experience in the forbidden area have not been in vain."
Facing the doubts raised by Ye Xiao, Guan Yuan still had a smile on his face, and he did not hide his appreciation for Ye Xiao in his words.
"If you know, just tell me quickly and don't talk nonsense."
"You little bastard, you are quite impatient. I think what you really want to know are your three classmates' friends!"
After being urged impatiently by Ye Xiao, Guan Yuan was not only not angry, but actually smiled brighter.
"Then are you going to say it or not?"
Ye Xiao spoke again, but his tone had softened a lot. He really had to admit that what Guan Yuan just said was exactly what he was thinking.
But even though Ye Xiao was like this, Guan Yuan still didn't mean to answer him immediately. He just took a deep breath and walked out of the house with Ye Xiao's blank eyes.
"Speak!"
Seeing that Guan Yuan was about to leave the house, his steps suddenly stopped.
"How is your physical recovery now? Can you get out of bed and walk around? If you can walk, follow me!"
After saying that, Guan Yuan stepped forward again without turning his head. As for Ye Xiao who was on the bed, after hearing Guan Yuan's words, he opened the quilt without thinking, jumped out of the bed, and hurriedly followed Guan Yuan.
The pace of Yuan.
After leaving the house, Ye Xiao followed Guan Yuan through several security gates and then directly entered a long passage.
The inner walls of the passage are made of thick fine steel and extend straight. Even if there are lights along the way, it is still impossible to see the end.
But Ye Xiao didn't find anything strange about this, because Guan Yuan had already explained everything to him on the way here.
At the end of this passage, there is a secret laboratory, and usually this laboratory is only open to the internal management personnel of the college.
Therefore, it can be said that only a handful of people know about it, and what is done in the laboratory is classified as confidential.
As for what was done in the laboratory, Guan Yuan did not say much.
He just said that he was carrying out a great plan, and the most direct point was that he wanted Ye Xiao to see and feel it with his own eyes.
However, Ye Xiao didn't take Guan Yuan's appetizing approach too seriously.
After all, they all have to enter the laboratory, so for him, there is not much difference between knowing early and knowing late.
Of course, apart from the laboratory, Guan Yuan also talked to him about other things. At the same time, Ye Xiao finally knew the whereabouts of those who entered the academy in the same batch as him.
During the three years of his experience, the exploration of forbidden areas of life in various parts of the world has reached a feverish stage. However, due to the lack of manpower, the progress of exploration has always been very slow.
In order to solve this problem, the Elder Council decided to select some students from its various colleges and form countless advance teams to join in the exploration of the restricted area.
Since they are the vanguard team, they should be the ones at the forefront, and most of these people are unlearned and have no experience in exploring restricted areas.
On the surface it is a supreme honor to lead the charge, but in reality it serves as cannon fodder for those with ability and experience.
And this is obviously just a method used by the Elder Council to preserve the overall strength of the exploration force.
Use the sacrifice of the weak to achieve the glory of the strong!
