Chapter 458 Farewell to the Hero, An Beilin's Funeral

The drizzle of rain sprinkled the entire capital.

As soon as Xu Ye got off the car, he felt a sense of sadness and silence permeating the sky.

Students kept walking on both sides, with sad faces, and they were all heading to the Anbei Forest - the place where all the heroes who died fighting against virtual beasts and virtual demons were buried.

The three classmates who died in Longyu Forest before were buried there.

His expression was not very good, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes.

On the way back, he had also received a notice.

Wan Tuo, the hunter of the virtual world with the title [Tianya], died bravely in the virtual country and brought back important information for the Dragon Country.

The tomb of this hero was buried today, and the whole country mourned.

Whether it was the hunters of the virtual world far away in other cities or the technicians who were too busy.

All those who could take time out of Longxia College returned to the college to pay tribute to and see off this human hero.

Xu Ye sighed slightly, and just after taking a few steps forward, an umbrella appeared on his head.

"I heard you're back." Bai Tao appeared beside him, his face no longer smiling as usual, his tone quite solemn, "I'll come to pick you up."

"Thank you." Xu Ye nodded.

"Let's go, Instructor Lian Shou is also in the Anbei Forest now." Bai Tao said calmly.

The two kept moving forward and soon arrived in the Anbei Forest.

More than a month ago, Lian Shou personally brought Xu Ye here once.

But in just a month, he came here again.

The curtain of the Anbei Forest was opened by some kind of treasure, blocking the drizzle in the sky.

The petals of the white burial flower were scattered all over the sky, as if mourning this hero of the human race.

There was still half an hour before the funeral officially began.

The hunters and students who had walked in here one after another all lowered their eyes and stood in the open space, staring silently ahead.

In the center of the entire Anbei Forest, Principal Xia Wu and Lian Shou, as well as several hunters, all stood in front of an empty tomb, with an exquisitely crafted and simple coffin next to them.

This was the first time Xu Ye had seen the principal of Longxia College.

This old man with white hair and beard seemed to have the stars and the sea in his eyes, but his face was full of fatigue.

He stood there and stared at the stele forest in front of him, motionless, as if he was remembering something.

In the crowd, Xu Ye saw many familiar faces, and more unfamiliar faces.

Whether it was the people of the fifth hunting team, or the ice king Ruan Rui, as well as Qu Yi, Qin Ze and other familiar classmates, or the teachers he met during the usual classes, and more graduates of Longxia College, they were all here.

Without exception, they all looked down and looked forward, their eyes full of grief.

Xu Ye and Bai Tao stood at the end of the crowd, also waiting silently.

He looked forward, and on the tombstone of the senior Tianya, his life and deeds were recorded.

Wan Tuo, the Void Hunter, was given the title of [Tianya], and died at the age of 29.

When he was 10 years old, his biological sister was killed by a frenzied Void Demon, leaving an irreparable wound in his left eye.

On his awakening day at the age of 18, he awakened the A-level ability [Dual Pupils], and was admitted to Longxia College through his amazing combat performance.

By chance, Wan Tuo was valued by Xia Wu, the dean of Longxia College, and was taught by him for a year.

At the age of 19, he successfully passed the Void Hunter Assessment and became a Void Hunter as a [Lone Walker].

At the age of 22, he encountered a mountain realm Void Demon outside of Yuchuan City, broke through the mountain realm during the battle, and fought with the Void Demon alone for three hours before receiving reinforcements.

Regardless of his own casualties, he protected a total of 130 people in Yujia Village from being killed by the Void Demon, and severely damaged a Void Demon that was much stronger than himself.

Since the end of this battle, he has obtained his own formal title [Tianya], and began to act with this title.

At the age of 25, the young Tianya was already well-known among the hunters of the Void, and had carried out a total of 1,300 tasks, including 13 D-level tasks, 550 C-level tasks, 650 B-level tasks, 77 A-level tasks, and 10 S-level tasks.

At the age of 26, Tianya successfully entered the peak realm, and his strength was further improved. He slaughtered countless virtual beasts and made great contributions in the process of attacking several large virtual realms.

At the age of 29, Tianya broke into the Void Kingdom alone and sent back 67 important photos with his own ability, which recorded the topography and cities of the Void Kingdom, as well as the detailed appearance of the Ten Emperors of the Void Demon. In the end, he died heroically in the territory of the Void Kingdom.

Silently reading the life written on the tombstone, Xu Ye's expression became more and more serious.

For this hunter of the Void whom he had never met, he sincerely admired it.

Among the hunters of the Void, there are many scums, those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, those who pursue fame and fortune, and those who eat and wait for death.

But heroes as selfless and brave as Tianya do exist.

As time passed, more and more people came to the stele forest.

As a melodious bell rang, Lian Shou's voice came from the front: "Time's up, bury!"

The four hunters standing in front bowed respectfully to the coffin, and then lifted it up and placed it steadily in the grave.

Lian Shou tapped the ground with his right foot, and the sand and soil filled up automatically, leveling the soil.

After doing all this, they quietly stepped aside and looked at the principal.

Xia Wu walked forward slowly and flicked his right palm.

The tombstone recording Tianya's life flew high and fell to the ground with a bang.

He turned slowly, and an invisible aura emanated from the old man. His voice was loud, like thunder rolling in the sky, and like the sound of God echoing.

"The human hero Tianya is buried in the Anbei Forest today."

"The world remembers his achievements, and his name should be engraved in the history of the Dragon Country."

As the voice fell, countless white flowers rose into the sky, and the sky seemed to turn into a white ocean.

After a few seconds, these petals slowly fell, covering Tianya's grave, and piled up next to his tombstone.

Xia Wu turned around and looked at the tombstone, put his right fist on his chest, and saluted the tombstone at a 90-degree angle: "Human hero, rest in peace."

At this moment, there was no elder or inferior, no status difference, and no teacher-student relationship.

There was only an old man who was full of respect for the hero, bidding farewell to the human hero.

"Human hero, rest in peace!" The loud voice spread throughout the Anbei Forest.

Xu Ye, Bai Tao, and countless awakeners, teachers, professors, and technicians standing in the Anbei Forest all looked solemn and recited aloud.

The flying petals danced in the air, as if carrying the soul of this human hero to the other side.

After a long time, the people gathered in the Anbei Forest retreated one by one.

Everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts, and it was difficult to describe their inner feelings in words.

If any of them did the same thing, they would not have the courage to dare to break into the Void Kingdom alone.

Xu Ye looked forward with a look of disappointment, and just as he was about to leave, Lian Shou appeared beside him.

"You came back because of Tang Xiaowan's matter, right?" His expression was also solemn, and he looked down at Xu Ye.

"Come with me, I will tell you in detail the results of the investigation of this matter."
