On the other side, engaged in battle, were Lin Shuyao from Class Seven and over a hundred other students from the same class.

The battle was incredibly fierce. Many students in Class Seven had already been critically injured, and over twenty had been eliminated.

Although the three Wasteland Wolves were also heavily wounded, their combat power hadn't decreased significantly. In fact, their ferocity seemed to grow with their injuries.

"With their strength, even if they manage to take down these Wasteland Wolves, more than half of the participating students will still be eliminated in the end."

Chu Kuang estimated the outcome of the battle with just a glance.

The reason the fight was so difficult wasn't just because the Wasteland Wolves were strong, but also because there was no expert with Great Accomplishment in External Martial Arts to keep them in check.

With Jiang Feng absent and Chu Kuang not acting with the group, Lin Shuyao alone couldn't possibly handle everything.

After all, while Lin Shuyao had decent talent and the skill level of an elite in the special class, stopping the wolf king was already her limit.

For the remaining two Wasteland Wolves, the students, whose Life Levels averaged around 4.7, had no chance of confronting them head-on.

Even with a hundred people working together, they could only form a battle formation to barely hold their ground. Facing them individually would likely result in instant death.

"No wonder students in the first year aren't allowed in the Dark Domain."

"They can't even handle these weakened Bio-Beasts. If they encountered real Source Energy Fierce Beasts, they wouldn't even qualify as cannon fodder."

Thoughts flashed through Chu Kuang's mind. Apprentice Level Source Energy Fierce Beasts were known as Beast Soldiers, divided into four tiers: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and top-tier.

Once these Source Energy Fierce Beasts matured, their Life Levels would be seven, eight, nine, and ten respectively.

Even the weakest beginner Beast Soldier had combat power comparable to a martial artist who had reached Perfection in basic External and Internal Martial Arts. For the first-year students, whose Life Levels averaged between 4 and 5, facing them directly would be no different than seeking death.

"Damn it."

At this moment, in the center of the battlefield, Lin Shuyao was locked in an intense struggle with the Wasteland Wolf King.

The more she fought, the more alarmed she became. The Wasteland Wolf King was incredibly powerful, and even with her current strength, she had no chance of winning.

The others, facing two wolf kings, could only fight with their lives, having no chance of victory in a direct confrontation.

"Where exactly did Jiang Feng go?"

At this moment, Lin Shuyao's expression was grim.

After entering the Dark Domain, Jiang Feng's sudden disappearance had caused them to waste time searching for him. As a result of this half-hour delay, others had already claimed the easier-to-deal-with Source Energy Spring Eyes on the outskirts.

With no other choice, they had to venture deeper, which led them to this Source Energy Spring Eye guarded by Wasteland Wolves.

Source Energy Spring Eyes guarded by three Bio-Beasts were far more difficult to capture than those on the outskirts. However, they had no choice but to take the risk, as they couldn't return empty-handed after coming all the way to the Dark Domain for special training.

It was a shame Jiang Feng wasn't here. If he were, this battle wouldn't be nearly this difficult.

Seeing more and more students being eliminated, Lin Shuyao felt a mix of emotions, and her sword faltered slightly.

In that instant, the wolf king let out a ferocious roar, and its sharp claws lunged towards Lin Shuyao.

Facing such an attack, Lin Shuyao could only focus her mind to counter.

Her Spirit Stream Technique had long since reached Great Accomplishment, and the Spirit Stream Sword Art she practiced flowed endlessly like a stream, known for its sustained Internal Force. Even against the wolf king, she wasn't at a disadvantage.

But just as she was fully engaged in battle with the wolf king, the two Wasteland Wolves, surrounded by the students, made their move.

Ignoring the students' attacks, they leaped from the crowd with deadly intent, charging towards Lin Shuyao.

"Not good!"

In a moment of crisis, Lin Shuyao forcefully raised her sword to block, using her movement techniques to evade the fatal blow. However, she was still grazed by a claw, leaving a faint mark on her battle armor.

"You have sustained an injury. Combat power will continue to decrease."

Lin Shuyao retreated ten meters, sword in hand, and a look of solemnity appeared in her eyes as she listened to the broadcast from her Intelligent Brain.

Even though she had avoided vital areas, without the protection of her battle armor, that single claw strike would have left a wound half an inch deep.

At the same time, the three Wasteland Wolves slowly closed in, forming a pincer formation and surrounding Lin Shuyao.

These Bio-Beasts were highly intelligent and knew that the greatest threat was Lin Shuyao, so they intended to eliminate her first while they had the chance.

"Quick, save our class leader!"

"Don't be afraid to die! We have battle armor for protection, let's go fight these beasts."

Meanwhile, many of the students in the class, seeing this, shouted and rushed forward to help Lin Shuyao.

At this moment, the wolf king suddenly let out a long howl towards the sky, unleashing the Wasteland Wolf's innate divine technique—Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon!

As the wolf king roared, invisible shockwaves swept in all directions. Students with Life Levels below 5 immediately turned pale, and many even bled from their ears and noses from the impact.

"This is bad."

Lin Shuyao sensed danger and could only force herself to raise her Internal Force to resist. However, her movements momentarily faltered, and the gray wolf on her right seized the opportunity to lunge towards her throat!

"Clang!"

At the critical moment, Lin Shuyao hastily raised her sword to block. The wolf's fangs bit down on the blade, sending sparks flying.

The giant wolf on her left attacked her lower body, its claws aiming for the back of her knee, its chilling glint sending shivers down one's spine.

Lin Shuyao had to forcefully summon her Internal Force, her graceful figure flipping to dodge. She intended to turn and slash its throat with her sword, but saw the wolf king sweep its body and lash out with its steel-whip-like tail, sending her flying with a grunt.

Lin Shuyao flew out, managing to steady herself by planting her sword on the ground. She saw the wolf king, several meters long, pounce from mid-air, while the other two Wasteland Wolves blocked her from the sides.

Despite the many classmates in the room, the Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon had sent them all tumbling down, and at this critical moment, not a single one could be relied upon.

"It's over."

Lin Shuyao sighed inwardly and could only draw her sword for one last desperate fight.

And in that very instant, a piercing sound suddenly tore through the air from the wilderness.

"Whoosh—"

An armored figure descended like a falling meteor, a battle spear nearly ten feet long carrying the force of wind and thunder, thrusting down with an unstoppable power towards the wolf king.

The power and momentum of this strike were astonishing. The wolf king didn't dare to meet it head-on and could only forcefully disengage and evade, abandoning its fatal blow against Lin Shuyao.

The other two Wasteland Wolves still wanted to pursue Lin Shuyao, but it was no different than seeking death.

Chu Kuang thrust his spear forward. The wide blade, as if cutting through tofu, easily pierced the abdomen of the giant wolf on the left, killing it in a single blow after just one exchange.

Chu Kuang's Life Level had now reached a high of 6.7. His base strength exceeded 5,100 kilograms, and the instantaneous burst power of his Gold-Splitting Spear even surpassed thirteen tons.

A Life Level brought about comprehensive improvements in strength, speed, physique, defense, and more. In the face of an absolute gap in Life Level, the foundation of this life was no different than a child compared to the Wasteland Wolf, which was only at Life Level 6.0.
