Dean Xiao heard the bet between the two department heads and shook his head helplessly, then said in a deep voice, "Wang Feng and his group are about to enter the ambush point. Activate the Night Rule array directly."
The instructors present immediately understood Dean Xiao's intention.
A thousand Intermediate Level mages against one person, if not restricted, even a Commander-level demon would perish on the spot.
...
"Eh?"
Wang Feng's expression shifted, and he looked up at the suddenly appearing pitch-black night sky above his head.
The night sky was like a thick curtain, completely obscuring the starlight, and the surroundings immediately plunged into darkness.
"It's the Night Rule array. It must have been specially set up by the school to avoid a large number of casualties, to suppress our magic," Mu Ningjiao explained.
Hearing this, Wang Feng carefully sensed it.
This Night Rule array had a great suppressive effect on his Elemental System and Dimensional System magic. Both casting speed and power were forcibly reduced.
But... he was a High-level mage, and he had enough talents!
The innate talents he copied were enough to compensate for the strength suppressed by the Night Rule array.
Conversely, those thousand Intermediate Level mages were mostly newly entered Intermediate Level, unable to even skillfully cast Intermediate Level magic.
Under this Night Rule array, their Star Dust was interfered with, and the difficulty of casting magic increased significantly. They were nothing but a cheerleading squad that could only shout!
"Brother Wang Feng, it seems there's an ambush here?" Ye Xin Xia's beautiful eyes showed a hint of vigilance.
"Don't be afraid, just leave it to me," Wang Feng chuckled.
Mu Ningjiao, Ai Tutu, and Ye Xin Xia understood Wang Feng's meaning upon hearing this.
Translated, it meant: "Lie down, no need to send me off, guaranteed win!"
They continued forward.
After walking about another two hundred meters, Wang Feng and his group arrived at the mountainside.
Wang Feng suddenly stopped, his gaze sweeping around, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"You have the guts to team up, but why don't you have the guts to act? Haven't I already entered your encirclement?"
Wang Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly echoed throughout the entire mountain path.
For a moment, a commotion came from the dark forests on both sides.
"This guy, could it be that he discovered us long ago?" someone whispered, a hint of unease in his tone.
"No way. If he discovered us, why would he walk into the trap?" another person wondered.
"He's too arrogant. Does he think that after defeating thousands of Novice mages at the welcoming party, he can look down on us Intermediate Level mages?" someone said indignantly.
After being discovered, the people in ambush no longer hid and emerged from the shadows.
Centered around Wang Feng and his companions and the Shadow Demon Beast, dense figures surged from all directions. People emerged from the jungle, trees, behind rocks, and even from the ground.
They surrounded Wang Feng and the three others in tight circles, layer upon layer.
"So... so many people," Ai Tutu shrunk her neck.
Mu Ningjiao and Ye Xin Xia were also on high alert at this moment.
To be targeted by the entire Qing Campus, Wang Feng was probably the only one in the history of Pearl Institute!
"Wang Feng, you've incurred public wrath, so don't blame us for joining forces to crusade against you, the Great Demon King!" Li Hongxuan stood on a huge rock, a hint of triumph in his voice.
"Who are you?" Wang Feng glanced at him and asked, puzzled.
Li Hongxuan's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, "Arrogant, damned! Tutu, come over quickly, or you'll be accidentally injured later!"
"Yes, yes, Goddess Mu, come over quickly!" someone in the crowd echoed.
"Goddess Ye, you also come over quickly. Don't stay with the Great Demon King, or you'll get hurt!" another person shouted.
...
Wang Feng's face darkened.
What was this?
NTR in person?
Originally, he had wanted to toy with these overconfident defeated opponents.
But now!
An uncle could endure, but an aunt couldn't!
Wang Feng's gaze narrowed, and his mental power surged out like a tide, combined with the Calamity Water Spout talent, instantly drawing all the water from a nearby river.
"Raging Wave - Deluge!"
The river water transformed into a monstrous flood, rushing down from the mountaintop.
The flood was like a roaring dragon, carrying destructive power, instantly sweeping across the entire mountain path.
Trees were uprooted, rocks were sent tumbling, and even the air was compressed by this violent water force, emitting a low roar.
"Holy crap, we have a traitor among us!" someone screamed in terror.
"Water Department, you have no martial ethics!" another person angrily accused.
"Bullshit! In the Night Rule, who can unleash such a terrifying raging wave!" the people from the Water Department immediately retorted.
"Help!"
"This water, why is this water dissolving clothes! Poison Department, you secretly poisoned us!" someone shouted in a panic, a hint of breakdown in his voice.
"I didn't... Gurgle, gurgle." The only Intermediate Level Poison Department student of this year didn't even have time to refute before being swallowed by the flood and instantly washed away.
Mu Ningjiao's expression hardened when she saw this scene, and she hastily began to draw a Plant System star map, hoping to use it to block the impact of the flood.
However, just as she was about to complete the star map, she found that the surging flood suddenly split into two about a hundred meters away from them.
It was as if an invisible hand had parted it, flowing past them on both sides, not affecting them in the slightest.
"This... did you do this?" Mu Ningjiao's beautiful eyes widened, looking at Wang Feng in disbelief, her voice filled with incredulity.
"Who knows?" Wang Feng smiled but didn't explain much.
...
On another mountaintop.
"Holy cow, whose flash flood is this! Isn't this completely screwed?"
Director Wei Rong's face instantly turned ashen when he saw this scene, feeling as if the sky was about to collapse.
He had originally thought that with a thousand Intermediate Level mages against one person, the advantage was on his side, but he never expected that with one flash flood, he would have to lose half a department's resources!
"Hehe, Old Wei, thank you for your resources!" Jiang Yunming grinned from ear to ear, his voice full of triumph.
"Why does it feel a bit off? Can such a severe raging wave be triggered within the Night Rule array?" Dean Fu frowned, his voice filled with doubt.
"Yes, if there weren't the suppression of the Night Rule array, this power could probably be several times stronger... It's a bit like a Calamity Water Spout," Professor Shi nodded, his expression grave.
"Don't guess wildly. Someone probably drew the mountain top's pond water down, combined with the terrain, to trigger this level of flash flood," Dean Xiao said calmly.
However, as he said this, his gaze remained on Wang Feng, who stood in the center of the flash flood, a meaningful glint flashing in his eyes.
...
Soon, the flash flood passed, and the entire mountain path became bare, covered everywhere with mud and gravel. Only the area within a few meters around Wang Feng remained in its original state, appearing particularly conspicuous.
"Let's go. Put the Shadow Demon Beast into the cage, and this assessment will be over."
