Xue Musheng found Li Yiyi's homeroom teacher as quickly as possible, and then rushed to Li Yiyi's home without stopping.
As soon as she heard that Jiang Yuan was recruiting on behalf of Mingzhu Academy, Li Yiyi agreed without a second thought, without any hesitation.
Because she was also one of Jiang Yuan's little fangirls back then at Tianlan Magic High School, and of course, she still is.
She had originally planned to go to Mingzhu Academy.
The recruitment in Bo City was considered over, and after a short rest, they would head to Hangzhou.
However, after Xue Musheng learned that Jiang Yuan had advanced to High-Level Mage and possessed Commander-level Undead, he wanted Jiang Yuan to help him with something.
That was to take all the students to the outskirts of Bo City for a drill before the second-year students' practical training.
Jiang Yuan agreed.
As a little fangirl, Li Yiyi automatically joined the drill as soon as she heard about it.
......
Outside Bo City, the second-year students of Tianlan Magic High School marched majestically into the wilderness, attracting the attention of many hunters.
A hunter watched the students walk towards the Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge and patted his teammate's shoulder: "What do you think these students are going to do? They're getting further and further from the Safe Zone."
"How would I know? But the direction looks like Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge. The number of Magic Wolves there is very small now, so there shouldn shouldn't be too much danger."
The speaking hunter suddenly shivered, remembering the Undead figures he had seen in the Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge back then.
The Magic Wolves in the Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge had been cleared out by a Three-Eyed Underworld General more than a year ago, and its Commander-level aura still lingered there.
Very few Magic Wolves would intrude there, and even if they did, they wouldn't dare to stay long, so it was a recognized Safe Zone by hunters.
They crossed Baoya Mountain and entered the Southern Ridge.
That was the Magic Wolves' den, not only with Monarch-level Magic Wolves but also other Monarch-level demon beasts entrenched there. It was a truly dangerous area.
Jiang Yuan led the team and had already arrived at Baoya Mountain, only encountering a few Servant-level demon beasts during the journey.
Seeing that they were about to cross Baoya Mountain, Xue Musheng said with a worried expression: "Are we too far from the Safe Zone? If we go deeper, we'll enter the Southern Ridge, where there are many demon beast tribes. It's too dangerous."
"Don't worry, teacher, we'll only go to the outer perimeter, we won't go deep inside. And as long as no Monarch-level demon beasts appear, I can protect the safety of my junior brothers and sisters." Jiang Yuan comforted him.
Even if a Monarch-level demon beast appeared, Jiang Yuan could easily protect his junior brothers and sisters, but saying so would be too shocking, so it was better to be more subtle.
"Alright." Hearing Jiang Yuan say that, Xue Musheng had no choice but to temporarily suppress his unease.
The team continued forward.
Suddenly, roars and howls erupted from the bushes ahead, and the students immediately looked over nervously.
A huge figure, three meters tall, rushed out of the bushes. It had a black body with crescent-white spots on its limbs and forehead, clearly a Warrior-level Giant Bear demon beast!
It seemed to be fleeing, only focused on running wildly, not noticing the students in front of it.
By the time it reacted, it was already within fifty meters.
And behind the Giant Bear, more than a dozen Warrior-level Three-Eyed Magic Wolves appeared howling in everyone's sight.
"It's a demon beast!!!" The students exclaimed, and the team immediately became chaotic, with no one daring to use magic to counterattack at this moment.
Although their magic had a very weak effect on Warrior-level demon beasts, not even daring to use it was truly inexcusable.
Just as Jiang Yuan was about to stop the Giant Bear, a voice rang out.
"Water Magic - Water Barrier — Cycle!"
As the words fell, several streams of water appeared in front of the Giant Bear, forming a vortex shield to block the Giant Bear's charge.
Unfortunately, elementary magic was simply not enough against the Giant Bear; with just one collision, water splashed everywhere.
Seeing this, the students felt despair.
"Water Magic - Water Barrier — Heavenly River!"
Jiang Yuan made his move. Nine streams of water, several meters thick, stretched across in front of the Giant Bear, forming a thirty to forty-meter-long Heavenly River that completely separated the demon beasts from the students.
Then, Jiang Yuan flipped his right hand, and the Water Magic - Water Barrier Heavenly River flipped over with it, its immense weight easily taking the lives of the Giant Bear and the Three-Eyed Magic Wolves.
"These were more than a dozen Warrior-level demon beasts, and you dealt with them so easily?" Xue Musheng's mouth hung open, watching everything in stunned disbelief.
The other accompanying teachers all had the exact same expression; just a moment ago, they were all ready to cover the students' retreat.
As a result, more than a dozen Warrior-level demon beasts were gone in the blink of an eye.
Absurd, too absurd!
"It's alright, no difficulty." Jiang Yuan smiled.
This caused Mu Ningjiao and the other girls beside him to roll their eyes repeatedly.
"Senior Jiang Yuan, why is your Water Magic - Water Barrier different from mine?" Li Yiyi asked, her face flushed.
That scene just now had truly shocked her.
Compared to Senior Jiang Yuan, if her Water Magic - Water Barrier was a stream, then Senior Jiang Yuan's was a vast ocean!
"Jiang Yuan, what's going on with your Water Magic - Water Barrier Heavenly River?" Xue Musheng also wanted to know, though he had some guesses in his heart, he just didn't know what level Jiang Yuan's Water Magic - Water Barrier had been strengthened to.
"This is a sixth-level Water Magic - Water Barrier; it might be slightly, just a tiny bit, more powerful than a normal Water Magic - Water Barrier." Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
"Sixth-level!!!" Ai Tutu was the first to exclaim, the expression on her face was too complex to describe in words.
"Are you kidding? A sixth-level magic requires a Commander-level spirit to strengthen. That means you used seven Servant-level spirits, seven Warrior-level spirits, and seven Commander-level spirits on an elementary magic?!"
Servant-level spirits cost millions, Warrior-level tens of millions, and Commander-level even hundreds of millions!
Ai Tutu quickly calculated that Jiang Yuan had spent almost a billion in assets on elementary magic!
However, they then thought that Jiang Yuan had the Undead System, and so many Undead, so it wasn't surprising that he didn't lack spirits.
But a billion in assets was still too shocking!
Jiang Yuan smiled without speaking. If Ai Tutu and the others knew that all his star points had been strengthened to the sixth level, then who knew what would happen.
"You..." Xue Musheng didn't know what to say anymore. After a long pause, he said: "Since the danger has been cleared, let's continue."
Now he felt much more at ease than at the beginning.
The students, still shaken, re-formed their ranks with unsteady steps, their eyes fixed on the corpses of the Giant Bear and the Three-Eyed Magic Wolves, filled with fear and bewilderment.
When they subconsciously shifted their gaze to Jiang Yuan, their eyes instantly ignited, filled with endless admiration and fanaticism.
Too strong!
This was the power of a Mage they had yearned for day and night, dreamed of!
"So the power of the Water System can also be so strong, the teacher really didn't lie to us!" Many students who had awakened Water System abilities simultaneously had this thought, and the blood in their chests boiled with excitement!
