Inside dorm 506, the confrontation remained tense. Three strands of black mist, resembling human hands, had silently crept to Lu Xuan's side, their tips almost touching his clothes.
Originally, three pairs of blood-red eyes had locked onto Lu Xuan in a triangular formation, but now only one pair remained, hovering in the air before him.
The other two apparitions had teleported behind Lu Xuan, forming a pincer attack. The chilling aura in the room was thick enough to almost freeze the surrounding air.
Just as the black mist was about to entwine Lu Xuan, a warm golden Qi Force suddenly erupted from within him, enveloping him like an invisible protective shield.
The black mist, upon touching the golden Qi Force, ignited violently as if it were sparks thrown into oil.
The dark fog curled and dissolved in the golden light, producing crackling sounds like burning cloth, as if it wasn't mist but dried grass thrown into a blazing inferno.
