Chapter 39 Dongfang Lie, the Second Warrior!
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Three crisp applause rang out from the slowly dissipating light screen, and He An, who had somehow appeared wearing a pair of dark purple sunglasses, stepped out and clapped leisurely.
"Your light magic is indeed very powerful." He An stopped and said with a hint of admiration, "But my shadow soldiers are not so easy to deal with either."
After saying that, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. His sunglasses turned into a cloud of shadow particles and dispersed with the wind, revealing a pair of clear eyes with a slight smile.
"Aww~~~"
A deep, ferocious roar suddenly rang out, and the beast was about to break free of its cage!
A massive, pitch-black body burst out from the light barrier, hurtling straight toward the light-elemental freshman who hadn't even had time to turn around.
The barbed, tooth-like bones on the head of the three-eyed wolf shadow resembled sharp spears stabbing towards him.
The next second, a blood-shaking scream echoed throughout the entire arena.
"My goodness!"
The light-element freshman clutched his lower back with both hands and screamed in agony.
The sound was heart-wrenching, with a long, drawn-out melody that echoed endlessly in the vast arena, its lingering notes resonating far and wide.
Although He An had already specially treated the bone spurs of the Three-Eyed Wolf Shadow, and there was also Teacher Gu Han's Holy Shield to cushion the blow, such a powerful attack was still too heavy for a young mage who had indulged in excessive desires.
"Bang! Bang!!"
Several more explosions rang out in succession, and the agile figure of the three-eyed wolf shadow darted among the freshmen who were going up on stage.
In just a few breaths, the two unfortunate fellows from the Light Department were all clutching their waists and reporting to the Healing Department teacher.
"Who else?"
He An smiled and asked the seated audience, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears in the silent arena.
Although He An's tone was very gentle and calm, for some reason, it seemed different to the freshmen.
His smile widened, revealing sharp teeth, and two curved demonic horns seemed to sprout from the top of his head. A pair of jet-black wings were faintly visible behind him. This demon king arrogantly raised his head and loudly mocked the crowd.
In the stands, some people clenched their fists so tightly that their palms were cut by their fingernails and bled slightly; others secretly groaned and cursed He An's ancestors for eighteen generations.
No matter how fierce their anger burned or how loud their curses rang, no one dared to actually step into the fighting cage.
"Are they all too afraid to go on stage? It seems that this is all the freshmen at Pearl Academy are capable of."
In the stands, a department head crossed his arms, gave a self-deprecating smile, and couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Only a hundred or so people have taken the stage, and they are all timid and hesitant. As one of the top magic academies in the country, the students of Pearl Academy are magic geniuses selected from among thousands. The resources they enjoy are enough to make many ordinary mages envious.
But now, facing an opponent we know is unbeatable, do we not even have the courage to try?
Do students like this really have the right to occupy those cultivation resources?
Can such students really fight off truly powerful demons?
"We also have to understand that most of the new students here are only at the initial stage. Facing a group of mid-level mages who might not even be able to defeat a general-level demon, it's already quite impressive that more than a hundred of them can stand up," an old professor said, stroking his gray beard as he comforted them.
Dean Xiao, seeing the freshmen sitting in their seats and unwilling to move, added fuel to the fire of this challenge.
"Those who dare not step forward to challenge without a formal reason will lose 50% of the public training resources for the first semester!"
Dean Xiao's words immediately caused an uproar in the quiet arena. Even the leaders and teachers in the stands looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
"Dean Xiao, what gives you the right to do this? That's a general-level demon that even mid-level mages can't handle! How are we, as novice mages, supposed to fight it?" A freshman stood up indignantly.
A chorus of approval rose from the seats, with almost all the freshmen feeling that Dean Xiao's punishment was unreasonable.
"Have you forgotten what I said at the beginning? Have you forgotten what kind of magicians our school motto cultivates?"
I have never given you any real punishment. As long as you dare to stand on the stage, you will naturally not lose that fifty percent of public resources.
If you don't even have the courage to stand on this stage, then you shouldn't stay at Pearl Academy.
Dean Xiao shook his head in disappointment. Looking at the many eyes in the room that were hoping he would rescind the punishment, he didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
Under the threat of punishment, the already fearful freshmen gritted their teeth and stepped onto the battleground, unleashing a barrage of underhanded tactics amidst a brainstorming session of numerous idea geniuses:
Intermediate combined force method, overwhelming force method, wolf body freedom restriction method —
But in the face of absolute power, all these little tricks are nothing!
No freshman could withstand a single slap from the Three-Eyed Wolf Shadow on the field.
The number of challengers has approached one thousand, which means that He An is about to defeat all the freshmen of Mingzhu Academy by himself and a wolf!
Just when the new students were in despair, a man with a somewhat cynical smile stood in the center of the fighting cage.
"Dongfang Lie of the Dongfang family!" Dongfang Lie smiled confidently as he stood opposite He An, but the caution and wariness in his eyes betrayed him.
Facing a true warrior-level demon head-on, even someone as arrogant as Dongfang Lie wouldn't dare to be careless. If he were to fail, it wouldn't just be him who lost face.
"Dongfang Lie? Isn't that a top ten player on the main campus's Fire Academy ranking list? What's he doing here?"
The freshmen in the audience who knew him exclaimed in surprise, "How come a welcome event has attracted monsters from the main campus?"
"Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces!"
Without any delay, Dongfang Lie skipped the pre-match trash talk and immediately began casting magic after standing still in the arena.
The star map was drawn at lightning speed, transforming into a blazing fire array that Dongfang Lie trampled under his feet. The raging flames swirled around him, making him appear like a king amidst the flames.
Dongfang Lie's unique innate talent makes his fire magic far stronger than that of other mages.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Nine towering pillars of fire, arranged in a nine-palace formation, erupted from the arena, their raging waves of fire churning wildly and blocking the three-eyed wolf's movements.
The temperature inside the arena suddenly soared to an alarming level, and the air itself became distorted and blurred by the heatwave.
The three-eyed wolf shadow let out a low whimper, and suddenly exerted force with its hind legs to dodge two tongues of fire that came from behind.
Just as the three-eyed wolf shadow leaped up to dodge the oncoming flames, Dongfang Lie precisely seized this opening in the air and rapidly drew a mid-level star map.
"Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering!"
All the blazing flames surrounding him gathered in Dongfang Lie's hand, and with a roar, he swung it out fiercely!
In an instant, the blazing pillar of fire transformed into a lifelike fiery dragon during its flight, striking the three-eyed wolf's most vulnerable abdomen.
"Aww~~~!!"
The fiery dragon struck the three-eyed wolf shadow precisely in the belly, tearing off a piece of its dark underbelly.
The three-eyed wolf shadow let out an extremely shrill scream, its shadowy body twisting and contorting under the impact of the flames.
The nightmarish figure of the three-eyed wolf vanished completely amidst the raging flames.
There was a deathly silence in the stands at first, then a deafening cheer erupted.
One by one, the freshmen jumped up from their seats, waving their hands and coats, shouting and clapping with all their might!
The few freshmen who remained in their seats wept with joy, constantly wiping away tears streaming from their eyes.
at last!
That nightmarish figure has finally vanished completely!
Dongfang Lie watched the three-eyed wolf shadow dissipate, panting slightly. Releasing two powerful mid-level spells in such a short time had taken a toll on him.
"you----"
Dongfang Lie put on his usual nonchalant smile again, ready to launch into his post-battle mockery, but He An's whispered remark froze his smile on his face.
"Forty-nine isn't quite up to par, forty-eight, you can go!"
Four——forty-nine?
Could it be that he has a total of forty-nine such general-level demons?
Just as Dongfang Lie was still in shock, the shadow in front of him suddenly began to wriggle silently.
First, two thick, powerful claws climbed up, then the familiar, ferocious head with three scarlet eyes, followed by the long, lithe body, and finally the iron tail that swept everything away.
A brand new three-eyed wolf emerged from the shadows. It was a size larger than the previous one, with sharp, menacing bone spikes on its head and an even brighter crimson light in its three eyes!
It stood still, looking down at Dongfang Lie from its high position, snorted disdainfully, and let out a roar that shook the entire arena!
"Aww!!!"
