Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

Chapter 104 To Gamble On The Formation

THE GROUND GRUMBLED.

Sights of debris falling from the tall establishments of the Spirit Race were caught by everyone’s eyes. A trace of wind whistled past their ears, their heartbeats as loud as a beating drum. Sooner, their legs shook as tears seeped out of their eyes. They were silent because they were all too terrified to speak.

Something happened.

And not just something.

“What the hell is happening? Why did the Fortification Spirit Text fail at this time? Why now?” The Spirit Race Queen gritted her teeth as she muttered these words. “Why…”

She almost jumped out in fright upon the arrival of the Spirit Race Ancestor beside her.

Albeit, the Spirit Race Ancestor’s face was a bit crunched. “What’s going on?”_.

“Mother, it seems like something happened that failed us to complete the Fortification Spirit Text. I must investigate it now—”

BOOM!

SPLAT!

BOOM!

Sounds of flattened flesh and explosives suddenly rang into everyone’s ears. This time, they screamed and hurriedly ran to the center spot where their ancestor was living in. These explosions and mysterious deaths of their fellow race members were definitely something premeditated.

But who did it?!

BA-DUMP!

BA-DUMP!

“Quick! Mobilize the Spirit Race Army!” the Spirit Race Ancestor commanded as she disappeared in place.

This rendered the Spirit Race Queen in a daze momentarily. However, a second later, she immediately recovered and shouted at the top of her lungs, “AN ORDER FROM THE ANCESTOR! SPIRIT RACE ARMY, GATHER! READY YOUR POSITIONS! SQUAD A TO C, BE AT THE FOREFRONT! SQUAD D TO E, BE AT THE REARGUARD!”

“ROGER, YOUR HIGHNESS!” all of them chorused as soon as they appeared in front of the Spirit Race Queen. Then, they flew out to their positions quickly, each commander giving orders to their respective subordinates!

“SPREAD OUT! ALWAYS REMEMBER TO WANDER IN THREE AND MAINTAIN A CLOSE DISTANCE TO ONE ANOTHER!” a commander loudly shouted as he fixed his soldier helmet.

“DO AS HE SAYS! DON’T FORGET THE EAST AND WEST SIDE!” another commander seconded.

“ROGER!”

“Hahaha! Look at them!” Jing Shuai laughed at the situation he had caused. Earlier, he purposely left his post and attack five men who were mobilizing the technique to further strengthen the foundation of the Fortification Spirit Text. “While you can be despicable to us, I can also become despicable to you! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! This is what you all deserve for the treatment you all have given us!”

“Did you do this?” the Spirit Race Ancestor suddenly said, appearing out of nowhere behind him.

As his immediate response, he quickly slid through rough mud and faced the Spirit Race Ancestor from a certain distance.

“Spirit Race Ancestor…” he said, briefly stunned by the sudden appearance of their ancestor. He then fixed his posture and stood aloof even in front of the pressure their ancestor was giving him. “How did you know I did it?” he asked, to say presumptuously.

“Simple, I can hear you from afar, but this is not why I am here. I want to ask you, why did you do it?”

Jing Shuai’s eyes turned bloodshot as he remembered what his parents had gone through back then. “You… you killed them… it’s only natural I want to kill everyone in this race as well… those royalties behind you…” He covered his face with one hand and took a look at the sky, laughing. “They’re pretty scheming… I just want to scheme against them… don’t you agree, a useless ancestor who only uses her hands and strength to settle things out without further investigation? Why would you do that… do you have no pity on us…”

The Spirit Race Ancestor was a bit taken aback. She didn’t know where this conversation was going to go. “What do you mean?”

“It seems like they’re really nothing for you, huh? You even forgot about their kids…” he trailed off as he walked to his unconscious big sister’s side. “You people… you are the reason why we are like this! I JUST WANT TO KILL ALL OF YOU! I WANT ALL OF YOU DEAD! A NOBLE RACE, THEY SAY?! HUH? NOBLE MY ASS!”

The Spirit Race Ancestor frowned as he looked at the two siblings. When she turned to look at the woman in Jing Shuai’s arms. “You’re their children…”

“Oh, so now you remembered?” Jing Shuai mockingly said as he laughed like he had just gotten out of hell.

Meanwhile, the others were busy defending against the approaching enemy. However, no matter how they looked up ahead, they could only see a creature running in their direction while seeing a bunch of explosive projectiles aimed at their territory in a disorderly manner.

“DEFEND!”

As their commander screamed the word, all of the squad members got into position as though they rehearsed everything before this even happened.

“Perform the Flower Text Formation!” the commander further ordered.

Adrenaline rushed into each of them as their movements became unhurried but ironically fast and precise. As soon as they got into each of their positions, from a bird’s eye view, a flower was formed; and while they were in this position, strange words kept chiming out of their lips. It was as if they were singing a certain melody.

As soon as the incoming projectiles almost reached their post, a transparently blue barrier formed above them as it enveloped the entire race’s territory. What they did was the same as others.

In fact, they were spread over the whole territory just in case something like this ever happened. To prevent any more casualties, they took the defensive stance and used the four directions to create an almost instant massive defense.

However, this was a gamble for them. Once they were interrupted or disturbed during the process, the formation would fall and all of them would most probably incur a backlash or even die, for those who were slightly weaker.

This was a gamble. If they couldn’t maintain this for an hour… no one knew what would happen then.
