Squeak squeak!
Classmate Bug seemed greatly encouraged, excitedly flapping its non-flying wings.
"But... the forest here is dense, and we don't know if there are mountains, lakes, or hordes of monsters in that direction."
"If we keep walking that way, it's hard to guarantee we're on the right track!"
Monkey said with a frown.
"It's a shame my Level 5 Wind ability isn't proficient yet, otherwise I could fly up and scout for everyone!"
Bi Feng sighed.
"Huh? Where's Teacher Zhang?"
While the few of them were discussing, Green Hair suddenly noticed Zhang Chen was gone.
"That... is that Teacher Zhang, that tiny dot in the sky?"
Ling Jiaojiao, her face full of shock, looked at Zhang Chen in the sky and said.
"Holy crap, no way! Teacher Zhang must be a Level 6 Wind ability expert! To fly without creating even a ripple of air, this ability is too formidable!"
Bi Feng exclaimed in astonishment.
"Although I've never seen Teacher Zhang fight at his full strength, I have a feeling Teacher Zhang is an all-element ability user..."
Green Hair said with deep admiration.
"An all-element ability user? All elements reaching Level 4 or above, does such a person truly exist?"
"They say only that legendary elder from the Ability Fluctuation Bureau has such power."
"But he's been participating in ability research projects and has been in seclusion for five whole years; no one has seen him since."
"Since then, all-element ability users have become mere legends."
"Is Teacher Zhang really that strong?"
Bi Feng said in shock.
At this moment, Zhang Chen, suspended in mid-air, surveyed the vast landscape below.
"This is... a town? And a palace?"
"This world actually has civilization?"
Zhang Chen floated in mid-air, disbelief etched on his face.
He had initially thought this was just a wilderness world occupied by bugs, but unexpectedly, civilization existed here.
Moreover, the architectural style here bore a striking resemblance to ancient Dragon Country architecture.
"I... I think I've been to this place before..."
Zhang Chen activated Absolute Vision, extending his sight thousands of kilometers forward, faintly seeing a majestic city wall inscribed with: Imperial Capital City.
"In any case... it's good there are people. We can talk to the locals; perhaps they can provide some clues!"
Zhang Chen turned and looked towards the direction the teleportation portal had moved.
He saw the massive teleportation portal gradually turning transparent, then disappearing.
"The teleportation portal is gone? Then... Master, can you open a teleportation portal back to our original world?"
Pluto Mushroom asked nervously.
"I can open one, but I'm not very proficient yet, so it might fail a few times before succeeding!"
Zhang Chen stated frankly.
"Ah? I really like the previous world! I don't like the energy of this world; I feel very uncomfortable here..."
Pluto Mushroom squirmed on Zhang Chen's arm and said.
"Don't worry, this teleportation portal should be disappearing and reappearing in stages."
"It's because the bugs in that world don't appear continuously; they appear sometimes and are calm at other times."
"The so-called energy fluctuations of the teleportation portal should be when the portal appears."
"When we find our lost students, maybe the teleportation portal will return to normal!"
Zhang Chen said indifferently.
"I hope so, I really hope so..."
Pluto Mushroom mumbled softly.
Zhang Chen slowly floated down from mid-air.
"Let's go, we'll check out the nearby town!"
Zhang Chen waved his hand lightly again, and a teleportation portal materialized, bringing the students to the outskirts of the town.
This place was deserted, so it wouldn't cause much of a stir.
"Wow, I didn't expect there to be a town in a place like this?!"
"It's so quaint and ancient; have we time-traveled to the past?"
"I feel like Teacher Zhang is taking us on a tour; it's both novel and exciting!"
"We should have listened to Teacher Zhang; our previous actions were really wrong!"
A group of students flattered him profusely.
Zhang Chen was long accustomed to flattery.
Before, in the apocalyptic world, whether it was his status as a true god, the position of emperor in a prosperous dynasty, the leader of the world's number one organization, or the Terminator of the Apocalypse...
He had never lacked people to flatter him.
"Send two people to scout the situation. We'll regroup at the city gate!"
Zhang Chen said faintly.
"Alright, someone, come with me into the city to scout!"
Monkey casually grabbed a student, and the two of them dashed into the city.
Zhang Chen and the others strolled leisurely.
Upon arriving at the city gate, soldiers clad in ancient armor immediately approached, asking vigilantly:
"What are you doing here?"
In their eyes, Zhang Chen and his group's hairstyles and clothing were too peculiar, looking awkward no matter how they were viewed.
"You are very happy to have us enter!"
Zhang Chen said faintly.
"Indeed, we are honored by your presence, please, come in, come in!"
The two soldiers paused, then immediately put on smiles and welcomed everyone in.
"Wow, did you see that? The rarest Mind ability! Teacher Zhang knows even this!"
"So strong, truly too strong!"
Everyone marveled secretly.
As soon as they entered the city gate, they saw Monkey and another classmate preparing to climb back over the city wall to exit.
Without Mind ability, they had relied entirely on their own abilities and physique to scale the five-to-six-meter-high city wall.
"Teacher Zhang, you're here?!"
Monkey, seeing Zhang Chen and the others, ran over excitedly.
"How was the reconnaissance?"
Zhang Chen asked.
"We've scouted the general situation. The civilization level of this world is equivalent to ancient times, but their martial strength is much higher than in ancient times. They also have experts similar to ability users and have developed many combat skills!"
"The currency in this world is crystal stones. As long as we input our abilities into a stone lion, its mouth will spit out crystal stones!"
"The energy we lost can be replenished after a night's sleep!"
"These are the clothes I bought with crystal stones, and this is a money bag for storing crystal stones—this money bag seems to have spatial abilities and can store many things!"
"However, my ability level isn't high enough, so the money I got only bought two sets of clothes and one money bag."
"If everyone wants to change their clothes or anything, you can go to the stone lions yourselves to exchange energy for crystal stones, and it's also a good way to test everyone's strength!"
Monkey explained excitedly as he spoke.
"Teacher Zhang, can we go take a look?"
Bi Feng was about to lead the team when he suddenly remembered Zhang Chen was still there, so he quickly and cautiously asked for permission.
"Go ahead, I wanted to try it out too."
Zhang Chen smiled slightly and said.
