The Winged Azure Wolf, already heavily wounded, completely lost all resistance in this battle and was directly slain by Zhan Kong.
In fact, if they hadn't trespassed into the Winged Azure Wolf's territory, slaying the Winged Azure Wolf would still not have been easy.
But now, they had charged in.
In its own territory, with no chance to escape and old injuries, coupled with Zhan Kong fighting from high in the sky, under these various conditions, the Winged Azure Wolf had its demon skull severed.
And as the Winged Azure Wolf died, the moment Mo Fan intended to collect its remnant soul, he discovered that what floated out was a Spirit!!!
Hiss...
This was a huge profit!
"Are you two alright?" Zhan Kong asked.
"We're fine," Zhang Xiaohou replied.
Even the Magic Wolves that charged over were stopped by Mo Fan.
He was completely unharmed.
Looking at Mo Fan's not-so-sturdy back, it brought Zhang Xiaohou immense peace of mind.
"Mo Fan, are you alright??" Seeing Mo Fan didn't respond, Zhan Kong turned his head to look at him.
"Oh, I'm fine."
Mo Fan recovered from his daze over the Winged Azure Wolf's Spirit.
Although he had some scars on his body, these injuries were naturally nothing to him.
Nothing made him happier than obtaining a Commander Level Spirit.
"Can you still leave?"
"Yes."
"Good!"
Zhan Kong responded, then released another High-Order Magic to repel the Magic Wolves, before personally severing the Winged Azure Wolf's head and ascending into the sky with Zhang Xiaohou.
Although Mo Fan had consumed a good deal of energy, using Shadow Escape to leave was no problem.
Then, one left by ground, and the other flew through the sky.
With the attraction of the Winged Azure Wolf's head, the Magic Wolves were filled with dread.
After all, even the powerful Winged Azure Wolf had been slain; how could these little wolf cubs dare to challenge them?
Of course, the main reason was also that these Magic Wolves were ground creatures. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy for Zhan Kong to leave. One could even say the chances were slim. After all, at this moment, one Magic Wolf pack after another was rushing towards them.
When Zhan Kong returned to Bo City with the Winged Azure Wolf's head, he dropped Zhang Xiaohou outside Snow Peak Mountain Station.
"I acted without authorization, so I will naturally be punished. However, I still have something I must do right now. I've taught you everything I can; next, you should go to Ancient Capital and find a guy named Fei Jiao to learn from," Zhan Kong instructed.
"Head Instructor..." Zhang Xiaohou looked like he wanted to say something but held back.
"Slaying the Winged Azure Wolf is what I owe this city. Next, I'm going to do what I want to do." After Zhan Kong dropped this statement, he flew directly towards Bo City with the Winged Azure Wolf's head.
When Zhan Kong landed above Bo City, countless citizens of Bo City were already in tears, their hearts filled only with admiration for this Guardian Mage!
"Zhan Kong, how can you defy military orders? Didn't I tell you that we would find a way to eradicate the Magic Wolf race? If you act so recklessly and die an untimely death, Bo City will be even more precarious!" When he saw Zhan Kong return with the Winged Azure Wolf's head, the new Grand Commander Jiang Yu furiously reprimanded him.
Zhan Kong threw the Winged Azure Wolf's head to the ground and said indifferently, "By the time your cowardly subordinates act, when will the sacrificed souls of Bo City ever rest in peace?"
"What did you say!!" Jiang Yu roared in anger.
"Whatever military regulations you want to use to punish me, suit yourself. I'll go accept my punishment when the time comes." Zhan Kong didn't stop, the Wind Wings on his back still in a state ready to fly into the sky at any moment.
"Where are you going now!!" Jiang Yu, seeing that Zhan Kong didn't put him in his eyes at all, roared even louder.
"To find Sa Lang," Zhan Kong said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yu was stunned.
But Zhan Kong said no more and left.
Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou reunited and returned to Bo City.
As for Zhan Kong wanting to find Sa Lang, frankly, in his opinion, it was pure suicide.
Leaving aside whether he could even find her, one must know that Sa Lang was a Super-Order Mage. What could he, a High-Level Mage, do even if he genuinely found Sa Lang?
However, some people's ideas cannot be changed.
Head Instructor Zhan Kong was a man unafraid of death, a man willing to sacrifice for a better world.
"I had a good harvest this time; I got the Winged Azure Wolf's Spirit. Zhan Kong left directly, so when the time comes, I..."
Before Mo Fan could finish, Zhang Xiaohou shook his head and interrupted, "Fan Ge, if you got the Spirit, then even if it's splitting the spoils, it's between you and Zhan Kong. Although this training seemed dangerous, with your protection, I didn't contribute anything at all. Moreover, Fan Ge, you have many magic elements and need resources, so you don't need to worry about me. I have an organization; I just need to cultivate diligently."
Mo Fan had no intention of hiding the matter of the Spirit.
However, Zhang Xiaohou's answer and reaction were somewhat expected.
"Alright, then I won't be polite with you. I'll arrange a big gift for you when I get the chance," Mo Fan said, patting Zhang Xiaohou's shoulder.
After this battle, Mo Fan could already feel that his Fire Element Nebula had undergone subtle changes.
Currently, he naturally had to return to Magic City and then claim the Three Step Tower cultivation opportunity. Although it was currently a holiday, Mo Fan needed to advance to High-Order, and he believed Dean Xiao and the academy's High Level officials would not refuse him.
"Fan Ge..."
"Stop nagging."
Mo Fan waved his hand, then directly left towards the outskirts of Bo City.
As for gathering, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future; a day or two wouldn't make a difference.
After returning to Magic City, Mo Fan went directly to find Dean Xiao. Upon learning that Mo Fan was already close to breaking through to High-Order, Dean Xiao agreed without a word to allow him to cultivate in the Three Step Tower.
It wasn't that Dean Xiao was biased towards Mo Fan or anything.
It was simply an early acquisition of an academy reward.
Mo Fan was already someone about to step into High-Level Mage, so an early start was naturally acceptable.
Most importantly, Mo Fan fully met the academy's age requirements. Giving him a little convenience, they believed Mo Fan would be able to bring glory to the nation later on!
Entering the Three Step Tower, Mo Fan calmly began to cultivate.
He spent a day first replenishing the magic energy his Nebula lacked. After that, he directly took out the Star River Vein.
Immediately after, Mo Fan's first breakthrough began!
Combat indeed had a huge assisting effect.
Originally, Mo Fan still needed a long time, but through this fierce battle in the wilderness, he felt that the opportunity was right before his eyes.
Having this opportunity, Mo Fan naturally didn't want to miss it.
The cultivation barrier around the Nebula was too thick and high. Only by giving the entire Nebula, by giving the 49 Star Dusts a stronger stimulation, could they break through the Nebula's barrier in one go and roam in a wider world. Therefore, Mo Fan needed more energy!
And the Star River Vein just happened to have enough energy.
Due to his four elements, his mental endurance and soul were stronger than other Mages, and the energy impact he could withstand would definitely be doubled.
And after using the Star River Vein, he directly used the strengthened Star Dusts to charge, making the cultivation barrier's cracks grow larger and larger. Mo Fan held his breath and concentrated, using his will to pour the energy of the Star River Vein into his Nebula like a waterfall, determined to break through the barrier!!
Every advancement was accompanied by immense mental pain; that feeling of a splitting headache was not something everyone could endure. And under this mental expansion, one still couldn't relax, and had to self-destructively draw in energy, causing an even greater impact on oneself.
But Mo Fan had long anticipated this situation; pain was pain, but as long as he persevered, after the pain, everything would be beautiful.
