Chapter 202: Settling!
"I only have five seconds left."
Immediately he entered the building, Lucian jumped up with all his might and caught the handle leading to the second floor, he instantly smashed through a door to one of the rooms in the building.
Upon getting entering the room, Lucian saw the devastating corpse of the old man.
Not waiting a single second, Lucian turned the old man's corpse over and forcefully yanked the small backpack hidden behind the old man's back.
He didn't even mind the boots. It was definitely a high grade Skywalker. This made him very reluctant to leave it.
Although reluctant, he knew his limits. He hadn't fully healed yet, there was no way he would handle the pursuit of the four students if they were really determined to pursue him.
He didn't place a single hope in his suggestion at all since he also wouldn't follow it if it were someone else who found the corpse of the old man.
Therefore, he left the Sky walker there as distraction, to let them fight over it, greatly reducing the amount of pursuers her might have.
Placing the compact bag behind him, he jumped out of a small window which was barely his size.
As he landed, Lucian rolled twice on the ground to reduce the impact of his fall in order not to alert those that were about to reach the roof and would soon figure out how empty it is.
"Two seconds left. That's all the time I need to escape."
Lucian smiled widely and he started running.
All of a sudden, Lucian's gaze turned cold as he saw two people with malicious intent blocking his way, attempting to ambush him.
"Drop the things y..." he wasn't done speaking when he was suddenly and violently interrupted.
Lucian abruptly increased his speed and in the blink of an eye, he smashed a palm at the neck of the first person, while simultaneously twisting his waist as his leg turned into a black blur, smashing straight at the chest of the second opponent.
The two students had a drastic change in expressions as they attempted to evade the attack but to no avail.
"Twack! Boom!"
The two was immediately sent reeling backwards like broken kites.
Suddenly, Lucian coughed out a little bit of blood. His expression solemn. His injuries were more serious than he had imagined.
"I need to hurry up and recuperate quickly." Lucian's speed only slowed for a bit suddenly, he heard the sound of people furiously shouting and cursing behind him.
Lucian smirked but didn't bother to look back. He had take what he could. He wasn't going to wait to see how things would turn out between the four people.

"That bastard!" A young boy standing at the roof of an old abandoned building furiously yelled with his face red while there people around him also loudly gave out their own dishes of curses to an unknown person.
Suddenly, the green haired girl's eyes sparked as she thought of something. Her figure instantly blurred and she charged into the one hole which was right in front of them.
The others were stunned, but they weren't stupid. They instantly followed her and jumped into the hole in the roof, heading straight into the building.
The distance from the roof to a floor from the hole was a bit deep and there was no telling that when she landed, the ground wouldn't collapse quite suddenly.
The four students executed different tricks and skill, and they successfully landed right before the corpse.
As the first to arrive, the green haired lady saw the corpse and sighed in relief as she saw that the boots were still intact, she immediately grabbed at the body of the old man using his almost pulverised neck, like it weigh nothing and without hesitation, dashed out from the room and reached for the exit of the building.
It took Lucian almost twenty minutes to reach a safe location. It was a thoroughly collapsed building which also had an underground basement which he had found by chance.
He immediately closed the entrance to the basement and upon entry, his imprint gave off a soft glow, which was the work of Hazel.
"Turn off the illumination. Although the chance might be low, I don't want to attract anything over here if the light escape this place through the entrance." Lucian warned Hazel and he found a place he could meditate on.
With his night vision, seeing through this layer of darkness wasn't anything much.
He walked gently through the small passage way until he reached upon a wider room.
It was a place with different types of metallic machines which Lucian couldn't name. They looked as of they had been barely used but still, layers of rust and cobwebs covered the machines and the corner of the building.
Breathing out slightly in relief, he could finally rest a little. His tense muscles relaxed and he dragged his foot to an empty space in a small room that resembled a store.
He closed his eyes as he sat down with his legs crossed on the floor.
Suddenly, a wave of fatigue hit him and Lucian paused. He knew most of his stamina had been depleted and if he didn't replenish them now, the consequences might be dire.
All of a sudden, Lucian smacked his palm on the wall beside and a squashing sound came out. It was just a weak spider. He cleaned his hand with a piece of cloth and at the same time, grabbed his compact bag that was behind him.
After rummaging through it for a few seconds, he grabbed several blood orbs whose sizes vastly varied from each other.
He popped the smaller one directly to his mouth and his gaze simultaneously focused on genetic nucleus before him.
It was very tempting to him at the moment but he knew he couldn't recklessly consume it just like that.
Although he had an Exercising method, Formless Heat that he had chosen from the institute which would vastly decrease the amount of side effect gained from ingesting the genetic nucleus, the energy within it wasn't something he could contain.
