The Human Emperor System

4

Shadow Forest ke andhere aur ghane ilake mein kadam rakhte hi sabhi students ko ajeeb sa aabhas hone laga tha. Pedo ki moti daalein aapas mein is tarah uljhi hui thin ki suraj ki roshni zameen tak pahunch hi nahi pa rahi thi. Charo taraf ek sannata chaya hua tha, jise beech-beech mein kisi anjaan aur khatarnak janwar ki dahaad hi todti thi. Li Tian apni team ke sath ek nishchit raste par aage badh raha tha. Use acche se pata tha ki Mu Qiang aur Yang Shuching chup nahi baithne wale hain aur wo zaroor is jungle mein un par koi na koi chaal chalenge. Isiliye Li Tian ne apne sabhi sathiyo ko alert rehne ke liye keh diya tha.

​Toh dusri taraf, jungle ke dusre kone mein Mu Qiang aur Yang Shuching apni team ke sath ek ped ke piche chhupe hue the. Mu Qiang ke chehre par ek shaitani muskaan thi aur usne apne sathi se kaha, "Kya tumhe Li Tian ki location ka andaza mila? Wo is waqt kis taraf ja rahe hain?" Uske sathi ne ek chhota sa magical compass nikal kar dekha aur bola, "Mu bhai, wo log seedhe purab ki taraf jo purani ghaati hai, us raste par ja rahe hain. Wahan par 'Iron-Clawed Beasts' ka ghabrane wala ilaka hai." Yeh sunkar Mu Qiang ki khushi ka thikana nahi raha. Usne gusse aur excitement mein kaha, "Bahut badhiya! Wahi sabse acchi jagah hai unhe sabak sikhane ki. Chalo, hum shortcut lekar unse aage nikalte hain aur raste mein unke liye ek khaufnak surprise taiyar karte hain."

​Li Tian jab apni team ke sath us purani ghaati ke kareeb pahuncha, toh 'The Human Emperor System' ne achanak ek tez warning signal dena shuru kar diya. Li Tian ke dimag mein system ki screen par flash hua—'Warning: Multiple hostile signatures detected ahead. Prepare for surprise ambush by rival students and wild beasts.' Li Tian ne turant apana haath uthakar apni team ko rok liya. Usne apne dosto se kaha, "Ruko! Aage khatra hai. Humein seedhe nahi jana chahiye, yahan kisi ne humare liye chaal bichhayi hai." Uske dosto ki aankhen darr se fati ki fati reh gayeen, kyunki unhe abhi tak koi aabhas nahi hua tha, lekin Li Tian ki system wali powers aur tez dimaag ki wajah se wo pehle hi savdhan ho gaye the.

​Jaise hi unhone rasta badalne ki sochi, achanak aas-paas ki jhadiyon se aawazein aane lagin aur teen-chaar bade 'Iron-Clawed Beasts' khunkhar tareeke se unke samne kood pade. Unke panje lohe ki tarah tez aur chamakile the. Usi waqt, pedo ke upar se Mu Qiang aur Yang Shuching bhi haste hue niche utar aaye. Mu Qiang ne taana marte hue kaha, "Arre Li Tian! Kahan ja rahe ho itni jaldi? Lagta hai tumhara ye safar yahin khatam hone wala hai. In jangli janwaro ke sath-sath ab tumhe hamara samna bhi karna padega!"

​Li Tian ne zara bhi ghabrahat nahi dikhayi. Uske hotho par ek thandi muskaan aa gayi. Usne apne dosto ki taraf dekha aur kaha, "Main soch hi raha tha ki ye log kitni der tak chhup kar rahenge. Abhi maza aayega." Li Tian ne bina ek bhi pal ganvaye apne andar ki black iron level ki urja ko poori taakat ke sath bahar nikal diya. Uske shareer ke charo taraf sunehri aur kaali roshni ka ek ghera ban gaya, jise dekhkar Mu Qiang ka ghamand ek pal ke liye dagmaga gaya. Li Tian ne apne hath mein apni nayi shakti se bani ek urja ki talwar banayi aur seedha un khunkhar janwaro aur Mu Qiang ki taraf badhne laga, jisse kahaani ka sabse romanchak aur khatarnak yuddh shuru hone ja raha tha.
