Five Elements Heaven.

Summary

Ai Hui heard a faint sound, as if it were a whisper carried by the wind. He lifted his head, cautiously scanning the surroundings, focusing intently to listen. The campfire crackled, and the students, having recovered from the discomfort of the day, were in high spirits. Ai Hui chose not to join them; instead, he quietly settled himself under a large tree, a good forty meters away from the campfire. He felt safer in the shadows of the night. Ai Hui mocked himself, having barely enjoyed a few good days before starting to reminisce about the past. The rustling of leaves in the wind filled the air, yet the ground remained eerily quiet. Ai Hui glanced at Zhou Jiao Guan not far away. Zhou Jiao Guan showed no reaction, boasting about his battle record from years past. Ai Hui's tightly pressed lips involuntarily curved into a smile. He realized his reaction was a bit excessive and shook his head inwardly. He recalled how, upon entering the sensing field, he had nearly lost control and harmed someone several times. Duanmu Huang Hun was on lookout duty, and he meticulously followed the instructions given by the instructor. He needed to remain vigilant and pay attention to the surrounding movements. At first, Duanmu Huang Hun thought it wouldn’t be too difficult, but as time passed without any incidents, boredom and monotony began to weigh heavily on his eyelids. The roaring campfire gradually quieted down. After a day of toil and commotion, everyone was unable to hold on any longer, and soon the camp fell into a peaceful silence as everyone drifted off to sleep. Throughout the night, nothing happened. When Ai Hui opened his eyes, he saw the faint blue glow of the sky, and the campfire had reduced to a wisp of smoke. Zhou Xiao Xi, who was on patrol, noticed Ai Hui waking up and nodded at him, a glimmer of admiration flashing in his eyes. Ai Hui felt immense respect in his heart. Zhou Xiao Xi’s performance was stronger than any of the Yuanxiu masters he had encountered. The elite of the Thirteen Departments were truly incomparable to those hunting teams. Returning from his lookout duty, Duanmu Huang Hun sported two clearly visible dark circles under his eyes. The team gathered, and everyone began to trek forward, heading towards the next destination. Xu Fuzi led the explanation on the road, talking about the Old Land and its connection to Five Elements Heaven. Ai Hui noticed that Zhou Jiao Guan seemed disinterested, and he understood why. On the front lines, the divide between Five Elements Heaven and the Old Land was like an invisible wall—unseen yet ever-present. Ai Hui didn’t think Xu Fuzi was wrong because whether it was the Old Land or Five Elements Heaven, the Wilderness was the greatest enemy. Ai Hui's gaze casually swept around, suddenly landing on a tree stump not far away, and he stopped. He walked up to the tree stump and squatted down.
