Jiang Yuan picked up the Sacred Spring from the ground and slipped it into his pocket.
"Fire Seed, Fire Seed, Fire Seed—"
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
"One more Fire Seed over here!"
"Boom!!"
Mo Fan kept tossing Fire Seeds, having a blast, seemingly unaware that his magic energy was nearly drained.
"Stop throwing Fire Seeds, you're about to run out of magic energy." Jiang Yuan came up beside Mo Fan to warn him, but his voice couldn't compete with the roar of the exploding Fire Seeds.
Mo Fan didn't hear him, so he had to shout it again.
"Huh?"
Mo Fan turned around, stunned: "It's over?"
Jiang Yuan nodded.
"You're saying you took on a High-level Mage by yourself and won?"
"And you didn't even get hurt?"
"That's right, exactly what you're thinking." Jiang Yuan nodded firmly again.
"Holy—shit!!!"
No way!
A High-level Mage was no joke—just one spell from them earlier and he couldn't even withstand it.
And Jiang Yuan handled it alone?!
Mo Fan suddenly felt like the sky had caved in.
In that moment, he realized that Innate Dual Elements didn't seem like such an amazing talent after all, and even Little Loach felt pretty average.
Just ordinary, nothing special.
"Don't lose heart. Aside from me, you're still pretty strong." Jiang Yuan smiled reassuringly, then went over to check on Lin Yuxin.
Lin Yuxin was already badly injured and had fallen unconscious from the ground wave attack earlier.
But she was fine otherwise.
"You're just ridiculous, you know that? How does a Beginner level mage beat a High-level one? I couldn't even put up a fight earlier."
"Still, I feel like my fire magic got stronger. When the flames exploded just now, I could vaguely hear a thunderous crackle—definitely more powerful!"
"By the way, Jiang Yuan, you're not at Beginner level anymore, are you?"
Jiang Yuan cut off Mo Fan's endless chatter, picked up Lin Yuxin, and said: "Let's talk later. Follow me out first. Something big is happening outside."
Mo Fan had a ton of questions, but hearing that, he shut his mouth and followed into the secret passage.
This passage led to the back mountain of Tianlan High School.
After emerging from the tunnel, the three of them appeared on the north side of the mountain within the city.
The torrential rain was still lashing down on Bocheng, with dark, gloomy clouds hanging overhead as if intent on destroying this small town.
In the oppressive atmosphere, countless residents were fleeing toward the safe zone.
Jiang Yuan observed carefully and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At least his plan had worked.
There weren't large numbers of demons inside Bocheng this time—not as many people would die under demon claws.
But in the distance, at the towering city wall, flashes of magic light flickered endlessly, and explosions rang out one after another.
Faint wolf howls could be heard, sending chills down the spine.
The real battlefield was outside Bocheng!
"What the hell is going on?!" Mo Fan couldn't hold back anymore.
"Demons are attacking the city. The military has raised the Crimson Alert." Jiang Yuan finished speaking and hurried down the mountain.
Mo Fan followed close behind.
But inside, a storm was already raging.
Crimson Alert—this was a city-destroying crisis!
Could Bocheng even survive?
"Awooooooooo~~~~!!!!!!!"
A roar that shook the entire city of Bocheng suddenly erupted, sending goosebumps across everyone's skin.
Jiang Yuan and Mo Fan whipped their heads around.
A horrifying, stunning scene came into view.
In the night sky above Bocheng's city wall, a massive black wolf shadow had somehow already crawled into place.
Its tail hung down along the city wall, its wings spread wide, completely blocking the already dim, barely visible light.
Its head lifted high, its gaping maw seeming ready to devour the dark clouds overhead!!
The overwhelming pressure made it hard for anyone who saw it to breathe.
It was simply too massive!
Jiang Yuan was also seeing a demon of such enormous size for the first time—it was utterly shocking.
"What exactly is that?" Mo Fan asked, still struggling to snap out of his daze.
"Commander-level demon, Winged Azure Wolf," Jiang Yuan said coldly, tightening his hold on Lin Yuxin in his arms as he quickened his pace down the mountain.
He needed to get Lin Yuxin to the safe zone, then head to the front lines to hunt demons.
"Hurry, hurry!"
"Get to the safe zone as fast as possible!"
Tianlan High School formed a massive column, advancing toward the safe zone like an urgent march.
Under the torrential rain, their figures seemed so insignificant.
How were they any different from ants migrating in droves when disaster struck?
"Speed it up!!" Xue Musheng and the other teachers shouted, terrified of losing even a single second.
Everyone had just seen the terrifying magic wolf crouching on the city wall, and a sense of despair spread through the ranks.
By now, they had reached a shopping mall a kilometer from the safe zone.
As they passed the parking lot, a roar suddenly erupted from within, followed by over twenty One-eyed Magic Wolves bursting out. Their agile bodies leaped four or five meters in a single bound.
Their blood-red eyes greedily fixed on these tempting students.
"D-demons! Demons are here!!!!"
A girl's scream shattered the order, and the column instantly fell into chaos.
"Don't panic, stay away from these beasts!" Xue Musheng shouted, standing at the front with the other teachers.
Their ranks were only at the Beginner level—what use were they against over twenty One-eyed Magic Wolves?
Yet they still did it without hesitation.
To protect their students' lives, they willingly used their own bodies to block the magic wolves!!
"Teachers, we'll help you!"
Xu Zhaoting, the school's only publicly known Lightning element student, struck out. A Lightning Seal - Wild Strategy shot from the air and landed among the wolf pack.
"You all go now! We'll hold them off here—there's no need for students to play hero! Get to the safe zone, that's the safest place!" Xue Musheng roared angrily.
The lightning had fully provoked the wolves' ferocity, making them even more savage.
In a brief moment of distraction, Xue Musheng was pinned to the ground by a magic wolf, its massive fangs sinking into his shoulder.
"Pfft!!!"
It all happened too fast—none of the surrounding teachers had time to stop it.
But before they could rescue him, they found themselves locked in a bitter struggle with the One-eyed Magic Wolves.
"There are hundreds of us students! Even if each of us throws one spell, we can kill these beasts. Listen to me—let's save the teachers!"
Xu Zhaoting organized the students to fight back, gathering everyone who could cast magic.
Yet, from the pitch-black underground parking lot, an even more ferocious roar echoed out.
Two magic wolves, large enough to fill the entire parking lot exit, slowly emerged.
They were different from the One-eyed Magic Wolves—they had three gleaming, rolling blood-red eyes!
"Those are Warrior-level demons, Three-eyed Magic Wolves!" Zhou Min, the Seed Class monitor, exclaimed.
The appearance of two Warrior-level demons instantly stunned the students.
Were the teachers really going to die like this?
We're all mages, so why can't we kill these damned demon beasts!!!
"This isn't something we can handle," Xu Zhaoting said, his voice filled with despair.
Just as everyone was resigning themselves to fate, someone they never expected arrived.
"Torrent—Flood Roll!"
Violent waves cascaded down from the sky, instantly engulfing the Three-eyed Magic Wolves, the One-eyed Magic Wolves, and the teachers trapped in the thick of battle.
