“Brother Cullen, this isn’t fair!” Immediately, a party member came out to protest.

But would Cullen listen?

Cullen glared at him hatefully and said, “How is it not fair? When the bet was set, didn’t you all agree?”

Another party member angrily pointed out, “But Brother Cullen, you were talking about the bet between you and Moss. When did we agree to share the cost of the 2-Star weapon with you?”

Cullen snorted coldly. With a move of his finger, the golden-red sword instantly flew to his side and made a buzzing sound.

“I advise you to think it through before you say anything further. I’m a Swordmaster!”

Cullen’s threat made his teammate, who had pointed out the loophole in his words, unable to bear it any longer.

At first, he did want to team up with Cullen because he saw that Cullen’s strength was superb and his class was intense. However, he did not expect Cullen’s performance to disappoint him again and again after they reached the Mystic Realm. He even began to threaten his teammates now.

“I’m leaving!”

“Cullen, I’m not going to team up with you anymore!”

Cullen coldly shouted, “Come back if you don’t want to regret it! Think about it. I’m a Swordmaster in the Mystic Realm, while outside, I’m a member of the White Deer Magic Potion Group!”

Cullen’s words made his teammate who wanted to leave immediately stop in his tracks.

Putting Cullen’s identity as a Swordmaster aside, Cullen also had an identity that these classmates could not compare to, the descendant of White Deer Magic Potion Group.

In White Deer City, although the family was not one of the top few families, it was not far from it. It was not a family that ordinary people were willing to provoke for no reason.

Seeing his teammate who wanted to leave turn his head over with an embarrassed expression, Coulomb sneered, “Come back. You should know the consequences of offending me.

“Moreover, although I don’t know why you have also seen Moss’s strength suddenly soar. Don’t you think that he will target you alongside me? We have long been in the same boat.

“I’m the only one who can protect you after you leave the Mystic Realm. Otherwise, don’t think that I’ll help you when Moss gives you trouble!”

Cullen’s words caused his teammates’ expressions to change drastically.

Although there was a hint of threat in his words, what Cullen said was not wrong. They were already in the same boat when they formed a team to enter the Mystic Realm.

Looking at the ugly expressions of his teammates, Cullen knew that he had persuaded them. However, since he had threatened them, he would need to pacify them now.

His expression softened a little as he said, “Alright, don’t put on a long face. Don’t think that I’m threatening you.”

His teammates looked at Cullen from the corner of their eyes.

Cullen shook his head with a hint of a smile on his face and asked, “Why do you think Moss is so powerful?”

Cullen’s words instantly attracted the interest of the surrounding people. They were also baffled as to why Moss had become so strong.

Cullen said, “Moss must have leveled up!”

‘He leveled up?’

When Cullen said this, the other team members’ eyes lit up.

That’s right, leveled up!

Leveling up could improve the strength of one’s own body and skills. This was common knowledge in this world.

Seeing that his teammates had realized, Cullen continued his speculation.

“We were unlucky. As soon as we arrived at the Mystic Realm, we were surrounded by a pack of explosive wolves. The enemy had the advantage in numbers. We were outnumbered and had no chance to level up.

“Moss might have encountered a lone Explosive Wolf when he entered. He probably leveled up by ambushing it. In addition, his strength wasn’t bad in the first place. That’s why he has the strength he has now. He can kill an Explosive Wolf single-handedly.”

Cullen’s tone became more serious, and he continued, “There’s no reason why we can’t do what he can do. After all, no matter how strong he is, he’s still a Knight. Everyone witnessed this during the Class Awakening.”

The expressions of his teammates around him became a little better. No matter how strong Moss was, he was still a Knight. There was no reason why they couldn’t do what he could do.

As long as they leveled up, they would definitely be stronger than him.

“Brother Cullen, what should we do next?”

Finally, one of Cullen’s teammates spoke up as if he had figured out the crux of the matter.

Cullen was delighted with this question, but he did not show it on his face.

As expected, the other teammates still looked at Cullen, even though their expressions were more or less unsightly. This was to seek Cullen’s opinion and treat Cullen as the team leader again.

Cullen directly expressed his thoughts, “Let’s go and conquer the boss of the Mystic Realm!”

Cullen’s teammates looked at each other, and their eyes could not help but reveal a surprised look.

Seeing the hesitation of these guys, Cullen said with disappointment, “This is our only hope. Moss has already leveled up one step ahead of us. His strength now far exceeds our efficiency in killing the enemy.

“If we want to defeat him in terms of points, the only way is to raid the boss of this Mystic Realm!

“Besides, it’s not like we don’t have an advantage in doing so.”

Seeing that his teammates were all perking up their ears, Cullen pointed at his flying sword and said, “We were surrounded just now. There were too many enemies. So, I couldn’t use my full strength. This time, we’re aiming at the boss. There’s only one of them. A Swordmaster is best at taking enemies’ heads from thousands of miles away.

“As long as we find the location of the boss first, I can use my flying sword to kill it without anyone noticing. I can guarantee that the boss won’t be able to realize it is being ambushed.”

Cullen’s words made his teammates excited. Everyone had a look of realization on their faces.

Seeing that his teammates seemed to have reached a consensus, Cullen nodded. He seemed to be very satisfied with the current situation.

“Let’s go. There’s no need to delay. We’ll search for the boss. This time, we have to be careful of being ambushed.”

However, his teammates hesitated again.

“What’s wrong? Any more questions?” Cullen could not help but become impatient.

One of his teammates pointed at the student who the Explosive Wolf behind him was biting and asked, “Brother, aren’t we going to save our teammates?”

Cullen looked in that direction coldly and said without a trace of emotion in his tone, “There’s no hope for him anymore. We don’t have to do anything. Besides, Moss and the other students will soon clean up those Explosive Wolves. We don’t have to fight to the death. Now listen to my command. Let’s leave this place and find the boss of the Mystic Realm!”

Cullen took the lead and walked toward the forest at the side.

Although his teammates were a little hesitant, they did not dare to disobey Cullen’s words. They could only follow obediently.
