Hello everyone, I am your Chief Instructor for this practical training, Zhan Kong. You should consider yourselves quite lucky, as you are the first group of trainees I've led since taking this position," Chief Instructor Zhan Kong said.
Although Zhan Kong appeared kind and benevolent, the students stood ramrod straight, none daring to speak.
Previously, they had only interacted with teachers, who, while knowledgeable, only imparted knowledge. Guardian Mages, however, carried an inherent aura from battling demons, which left these inexperienced students too intimidated to act rashly.
"..."
Zhan Kong first smiled, indicating he would grant them special treatment, but quickly issued a bounty. Though many questioned and expressed dissatisfaction, he then announced he would personally sponsor a defensive Magic Tool.
Well, the Chief Instructor was just talking big.
After all, he didn't believe the students could complete this bounty.
In fact, it would be impressive if they could even cast a spell.
But with the lure of the Magic Tool, the five groups of students immediately set off towards the training location. When they departed, Chief Instructor Zhan Kong said they only needed to walk thirty kilometers to reach their destination. However, this thirty kilometers was only a straight-line distance.
After traversing mountains and jungles, they unknowingly walked for a full ten days!
Fortunately, though it was arduous, they finally reached their destination, Hundred Grass Valley. As they arrived, the team led by Mu Bai had already reached the location.
After the two sides converged, Mo Fan could see the smug expression on that guy's face.
It must be said, the current Mu Bai looked utterly punchable!
"Let's go, let's go in together. Light Element users, you finally have a purpose, light up the lamps!" Zhao Kun San's courage grew with the crowd, but his obnoxious mouth hadn't changed.
It was only because of Mo Fan's exceptional talent that he no longer made snide remarks to him.
In fact, at this moment, even if he did make snide remarks, Mo Fan wouldn't care in the slightest, as he, Mo Fan, had come specifically for this Dire Wolf Beast.
Though the Light Element Mages were displeased, as beginners, weren't they just mobile light bulbs?
However, even though Mu Bai was acting quite obnoxious at the moment, his handling of the team's arrangements was clearly much better than Zhou Min and Xu Zhaoting.
"Awoo~~~!!!"
"Awoo~~~!!!"
But just as they entered, suddenly, two terrifying howls echoed from deeper within the cave. At that moment, everyone understood what the sticky, moist gust of wind that had just swept over them was!
These were demons!!
Real demons!!
As Mages, their most extensive knowledge in school, besides cultivation, was naturally about demons. In fact, many, after mastering seven stars, envisioned how they would unleash their power when demons attacked. However, when they truly felt two greedy green gazes shoot from the depths of the cave, their minds went blank!
The Light Element Mages' Light Illumination still hovered in the air, illuminating the cave ahead. A paw covered in green fur suddenly stepped out from the darkness, its razor-sharp claws digging into the ground!
Following that, a head slowly emerged, instantly exposed in the area illuminated by the Light Illumination!
Rows of saw-like fangs suddenly appeared, and terrifying incisors dropped from the upper jaw to the lower, exposed to the air and to the students' eyes.
Green drool slowly dripped from these two saber-toothed fangs, clearly indicating the creature's hunger at this moment!
A ferocious wolf head, a neck more powerful than an ordinary coyote's, a body larger than a camel's and covered in rock-like muscles, and deep blue, needle-sharp fur standing on end!
Upon seeing such a magical wolf appear, everyone's first reaction was to run.
Some were already screaming in panic and fleeing outwards.
Mo Fan looked at the big creature in front of him, naturally feeling a bit scared, but he quickly calmed down. The wolf in front of him was, after all, a summoned beast; it wouldn't lose its mind unless fiercely attacked. However, if he wanted to improve faster in the future, what he would encounter would definitely not be like this one, which merely roared and didn't pounce immediately.
Seven stars quickly formed!
When the fleeing crowd saw Mo Fan actually form a Star Orbit within three seconds, they were all stunned!
Although they all knew Mo Fan was a magical genius, who could have imagined that his speed in forming magic was so fast??
"Fire Ignition - Burning!"
"Boom!"
Mo Fan's Fire Ignition struck, but the Dire Wolf Beast showed little reaction. Clearly, while they were all in the same general category, they were not on the same level!
"Awoo~~~!!!"
The Dire Wolf Beast, scorched by Mo Fan, directly pounced forward.
The others, having seen their escape route cut off, had already fallen into complete despair. At this moment, Mo Fan's attack had attracted the Dire Wolf Beast's attention.
Mu Bai, Xu Zhaoting, Zhou Min, and others also completed their spell releases.
However, first-tier beginner magic caused it little harm, and this Dire Wolf Beast let out two roars in succession.
Sand and stones instantly swept towards the students, who were almost all directly battered and bruised.
The Dire Wolf Beast also sustained injuries, but compared to the students, it seemed to treat them as nothing.
"Fire Ignition - Bone Incineration!"
Seeing that his energy was almost depleted, Mo Fan naturally didn't hesitate. A stronger, higher-level Fire Ignition directly rushed towards the Dire Wolf Beast. Flames erupted, and a fireball roared through the air, accurately hitting the Dire Wolf Beast's massive torso. The fireball was silent for a moment, then, like a group of wildly growing crimson vines, it ignited from within the Dire Wolf Beast's body. The fire's power was far greater than any previous Fire Ignition!
The flames were vibrant and fierce, and the Dire Wolf Beast raised its head, letting out an agonizing roar.
The Dire Wolf Beast appeared extremely pained. It ran wildly and aimlessly on the ground, then continuously rolled, and finally plunged into the pond.
When Mo Fan unleashed his second-level Fire Ignition, it was still so proficient, leaving the few people present dumbfounded!
"Run, get out of here, it's not dead yet!" Mo Fan shouted to everyone after seeing the Dire Wolf Beast enter the pond.
Everyone was bewildered. Such a powerful Fire Ignition, and it still couldn't kill that Dire Wolf Beast?
And just as everyone was wondering, the Dire Wolf Beast had already crawled out, its crimson pupils filled with the most terrifying ferocity. The enraged Dire Wolf Beast's eyes locked onto Mo Fan, and its killing intent transformed into a chilling, icy aura that swept towards Mo Fan.
Mo Fan's heart also jolted!
Damn, so this is the true face of a demon!!
"Monkey, run inside!" Mo Fan shouted.
Zhang Xiaohou had already been forming his Star Orbit earlier, and this little monkey was naturally brave. The moment the Dire Wolf Beast pounced, he led Mo Fan directly deeper into the cave.
The frenzied Dire Wolf Beast pursued them directly. As for the others, while they were relieved, they were also filled with worry. With their escape route cut off, if Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou got into trouble, they wouldn't fare any better!
