Chapter 770 Perception Power Warning (Middle)

After contacting Zuo Wenyao, Lin Xinghai quickly got in touch with Little Fatty to tell him he needed to rest for an hour.

Hearing Lin Xinghai’s request, Little Fatty didn’t question it. After all, the high-intensity battle had already been raging for over three hours.

Under such conditions, even the regular students who weren’t fighting as intensely were feeling tired, let alone Lin Xinghai, who had been overseeing the entire battlefield.

Little Fatty immediately sent out a notification, telling the other teams to take the opportunity to rest as well.

As for Lin Xinghai, he quickly dealt with the Mutated Zombies that several teams had encountered before Zuo Wenyao arrived.

Zuo Wenyao didn’t come alone; he had brought Chen Yushi with him. With their combined strength, plus the support of Lin Xinghai’s Time Acceleration Ability, they would be more than enough to handle any problem.

"What’s going on?" Zuo Wenyao asked quickly as soon as they arrived.

At the same time, he had already released his Perception Power to carefully scan the surroundings for any powerful individuals who might be spying on them.

After all, his Perception Power had a range of 30,000 meters. Even while enveloped in this green toxic mist, it could still cover a 20,000-meter radius—a distance far greater than Lin Xinghai’s own Perception.

"I’m not entirely sure myself. I just got this feeling of danger." Lin Xinghai immediately explained what he had felt earlier in detail.

Zuo Wenyao and Chen Yushi both frowned deeply as they listened. Neither of them thought Lin Xinghai was making a big deal out of nothing.

As powerful individuals themselves, they knew very well that this kind of preternatural sense of danger had to be treated with extreme caution. Moreover, the stronger a person was, the more accurate this feeling of danger became.

"So, what’s your plan now?" Zuo Wenyao asked.

"I want to go take a look. If I don’t figure out what’s going on, I won’t be able to rest easy," Lin Xinghai said.

This was also why he had called Zuo Wenyao over. This way, even if he was truly being targeted by something like a Shadow Demon, he would have the confidence to face it.

"Alright!" Zuo Wenyao and Chen Yushi glanced at each other and immediately agreed.

The three of them quickly set off.

The direction they headed was precisely toward the core area.

In fact, it was because the danger originated from this direction that Lin Xinghai was even more certain he was being targeted by some entity.

The trio moved quickly. Since Lin Xinghai was already in the middle zone to begin with, it only took them a few minutes to approach the core area.

Once there, the three of them instinctively slowed down. They all released their Perception Power, spreading it out around them to ensure they wouldn’t be ambushed by that unknown entity.

"Anything? Do you feel it?" Zuo Wenyao asked in a low voice after they had advanced a bit further.

The closer they got to the source of the danger, the clearer Lin Xinghai’s premonition should become.

"No!" Lin Xinghai shook his head.

"That’s troublesome. To be honest, my biggest worry is that the Abyssal Plane has sent some Abyssal Creatures with special abilities for long-range surveillance, and they’ve been keeping an eye on you this whole time."

"In that case, with your keen Perception, it’s certainly possible you’d detect the malice they’re unintentionally giving off. But if they just stay hidden and watch without making a move, there’s nothing we can do. And it’s not like we can stay on guard forever," Zuo Wenyao said with a slight frown, voicing his speculation.

Lin Xinghai didn’t respond. He had a feeling Zuo Wenyao’s guess wasn’t correct, because that fleeting chill had been utterly bone-chilling.

He had only felt that way once before: when facing the Shadow Demon and encountering a mortal threat. Therefore, it couldn’t possibly be mere surveillance; the other party possessed the ability to kill him easily.

The three continued on their way in silence, soon entering the core area.

But just as they advanced a little further, Lin Xinghai suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The very instant Lin Xinghai halted, Zuo Wenyao and Chen Yushi, with perfect coordination, simultaneously activated their Divine Demon Bodies. They took positions in front of and behind Lin Xinghai, protecting him.

"What is it?" Zuo Wenyao couldn’t help but ask after carefully scanning the area again with his Perception Power and still finding nothing unusual.

"There’s no enemy. Instructor Zuo, you two can deactivate your Divine Demon Bodies," Lin Xinghai said as he began to move sideways.

Zuo Wenyao and Chen Yushi exchanged a look. Without a word, they deactivated their Divine Demon Bodies and followed beside Lin Xinghai, moving sideways with him.

They both knew that Lin Xinghai must have discovered something.

Lin Xinghai walked for just a moment before stopping again. He then took out his wrist-mounted computer and sent a message to Zuo Wenyao.

"Instructor, the Space ahead of me is wrong. Not just one spot, but the entire area of Space has a problem."

Seeing Lin Xinghai’s actions, Zuo Wenyao had a bad feeling. Lin Xinghai didn’t even dare to speak the words aloud.

And when he opened the message and read it, his gaze turned sharp.

"Are you sure you’re not mistaken?" Zuo Wenyao’s voice echoed directly in Lin Xinghai’s mind.

A look of surprise appeared on Lin Xinghai’s face.

"It’s a small Magic Technique that uses Perception Power for direct telepathic communication, undetectable by outsiders. Your Perception Power should be strong enough. You can learn it at the academy’s library later," Zuo Wenyao’s voice sounded in his mind again.

Lin Xinghai nodded silently, then continued to type on his wrist-mounted computer: "I’m sure there’s a problem. When my Time Acceleration Ability covered that area of Space, I felt something was off."

"Logically, within my Domain, Time should be completely under my control. But this Space in front of me seems to be able to affect my Superpower."

This surprised Zuo Wenyao even more. After first confirming the exact location of the area in question, he walked over to it. At the same time, he released flames from his body, which slowly spread outward.

"I don’t feel anything at all..." Zuo Wenyao was somewhat speechless.

He didn’t doubt Lin Xinghai’s words. The fact that he couldn’t sense it with his Superpower or detect it with his Perception Power could only mean one thing: the Energy affecting this area of Space was on a level so high he couldn’t even perceive it.

If Lin Xinghai hadn’t possessed the extremely mysterious Time Superpower, he likely wouldn’t have noticed anything either.

"Right now, we have no idea what’s happening. And since no one else can sense this thing and it appears harmless, it’ll be difficult to convince the military high command to take any action," Zuo Wenyao transmitted telepathically, his brow furrowed.

After all, he could trust Lin Xinghai unconditionally, but the same couldn’t be said for the military.

Lin Xinghai thought for a moment, then typed on his wrist-mounted computer: "Can you contact a Divine Demon Realm expert who has a Space Ability? Perhaps they would be able to sense something."
