Lu Shi stared blankly at the pile of black ash that the Shadow Serpent had turned into. Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming from under the tree.

She quickly used Shadow Cloak to hide in the shade of a tree canopy. Under the cover of darkness, she quietly observed who was approaching.

"Teacher Wen, come quick! That lightning bolt was right near this tree!" a girl's voice rang out.

Lu Shi vaguely recognized the voice; it belonged to a girl in Class 3, whose name seemed to be Wu Ping. She was a beginner in the water element and didn't get along with Zhou Rui.

"Ah Ping, slow down, it's dangerous here. We can't stray too far from Teacher Wen." Another girl's voice came from Class 3. He Lan, a beginner in the Light element.

Huh, why are they in the central region?

Lu Shi was completely puzzled.

"You two, be careful," Wen Tianming's gentle voice came over.

At the same time, Lu Shi finally saw the three people appear under the big tree.

“Teacher Wen, we’ll be careful. Since we chose to enter the central region, we’re here to find monster corpses. As long as we can take back a few 3rd and 4th tier corpses, Class 3 won’t be at the bottom this time,” Wu Ping replied, her voice somewhat stubborn.

He Lan didn't speak, but bent down and searched carefully under the tree, muttering to herself, "Such thick lightning, whether it's a magical beast or a human mage, must be very powerful. Let's hurry up and find the corpse."

Lu Shi looked at the three people under the tree. The two little girls were searching carefully, while Wen Tianming did not move. He kept watching the two little girls and paying attention to the surrounding environment.

Seeing this, Lu Shi couldn't help but sigh, "Look, this is what a qualified teacher should be!"

Then look at yourself, and you just throw away your four burdens.

But speaking of burdens, shouldn't Wen Tianming have five students with him? How come there are only two left now?

“A battle just took place here, we have time to search slowly,” Wen Tianming said gently.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shi knew something was wrong.

Teacher Wen is known for his uncanny ability to jinx people!

Sure enough, a rustling sound came from afar.

A powerful magical beast is coming.

Waaah.

With a low hiss, three storm leopards appeared before us.

They look very similar to the Shadow Cheetah, except for the color of their fur. Storm Cheetahs have blue fur, which looks smoother and shinier than the blue fur of the Gale Wolf.

However, these three Storm Leopards are all Tier 3, so they should be descendants of the Tier 5 Storm Leopard that stole the Shadow Leopard.

Lu Shi was hesitating whether or not to go out and help.

Wen Tianming shouted, "You two run towards the campsite, I'll hold off these three leopards."

"Teacher Wen, these are three Tier 3 magical beasts!" Wu Ping said in fear.

“So, you can’t help, hurry up and leave. I’ll distract them, see you at the camp.” Wen Tianming said, and a blue light appeared beneath his feet.

So Wen Tianming's second element is wind.

In the blink of an eye, Wen Tianming had already rushed towards the three Storm Leopards. At the same time, he waved his hands, and a series of wind-shaped blades shot out from his hands, heading towards the Storm Leopards.

【Wind Blade】

A mid-level wind-based attack spell.

It turns out that after reaching the intermediate level, Teacher Wen did not learn the Wind Prison control skill, but instead learned the attack skill.

Lu Shi had heard of magic users at the same level mastering different skills, but she didn't understand it at all. She couldn't even name all the skills.

Currently, she learns skills entirely through random assignments from Xiaotong.

This won't do; I need to go back and figure out a way to combine them.

But Lu Shi was only distracted for a moment.

Storm Leopard and Teacher Wen disappeared as they ran and collided.

When a wind-type magical beast faces a wind-type mage, regardless of how intense the battle is, its running speed is at least top-notch.

The two female students looked worriedly in the direction Wen Tianming had left, exchanged a glance, and then ran off in the same direction.

In no time, everyone had run away.

Lu Shi pondered again whether she should act as a saint and escort the two little girls.

But this delay only lasted a moment, and then Wu Ping's screams rang out.

Lu Shi hurriedly used Wind Track to fly towards the direction from which the scream came.

Then she witnessed a horrific scene.

Wu Ping's body was severed at the waist, cut in two, and blood gushed continuously from the cut. After screaming in agony, she was already dead.

He Lan, supporting Wu Ping's upper body, stared in horror at the opposite side.

A man dressed in black stood there, seemingly blending into the night. His entire body emanated a black aura, and even his appearance was shrouded in a layer of black mist, making everything unclear.

The man in black pointed at He Lan, black light gathering at his fingertips, clearly preparing some kind of spell.

He Lan was so frightened that she stood there blankly, forgetting even to dodge.

However, the man in black, who was halfway through casting the spell, suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from the spot.

A bolt of lightning struck the spot where he had been standing.

"Teacher Lu, Teacher Lu." He Lan looked at Lu Shi in surprise as she appeared before her.

"Stand back, don't get caught in the crossfire." Lu Shi waved her hand, signaling He Lan to stand at a distance.

The man in black reappeared eerily under the shade of another large tree. Facing Lu Shi, he slowly walked over. Although Lu Shi couldn't see his face, she knew he was watching her.

They stared at each other, closing the distance between them, but neither spoke.

Suddenly, an invisible white light shone in Lu Shi's eyes.

But the man in black seemed to have been prepared, a black light flashing in his eyes as well.

The space in front of them distorted, black and white light intertwined, and a loud bang was heard.

"Damn, he's actually a high-level mage."

Lu Shi couldn't help but curse.

The mental impact was neutralized by some strange shadow magic used by the opponent.

As for his own soul strength as a high-level mage, he couldn't gain any advantage at all.

Then, Lu Shi noticed a silver light shimmering on the other person's hand.

A huge, crescent-shaped silver wave blade slashed towards him.

Gazing at that familiar silver color, Lu Shi cursed inwardly:

"Damn space-type magic again."

Without time to think, Lu Shi unleashed a lightning strike with her left hand, slashing at the silver wave blade and causing it to pause.

However, the wave blade continued to fly stubbornly toward Lu Shi.

Lu Shi didn't expect to succeed in one strike. He pushed out the Phoenix Flame with his right hand, and the magnificent Phoenix Flame collided with the Wave Blade.

However, the phoenix flames were forcibly cut in two by the wave blade, and the phoenix flames were broken into two pieces, the phantom gradually extinguishing in the air.

Fortunately, after several attempts to stop it, the wave blade finally landed less than half a meter away from Lu Shi, leaving a crack in the ground.

"He's so strong. We can't give him time to cast a spell."

Seeing that the opponent used only one skill, I was forced to use two skills to block it.

Immediately, Lu Shi countered with speed, instantly unleashing lightning with his left hand and fire with his right.

The beginner-level skill recklessly splashed water on the man in black.

The opponent was also frightened by Lu Shi's shameless fighting style, staring at the sky full of dragon and phoenix flames, with lightning flashing above their heads.

The man in black, unwilling to fight head-on, slowly vanished from his spot. The place where he had stood was annihilated by lightning and fire, leaving behind a scorched earth.

Lu Shi's impressive performance left He Lan, who was standing to the side, stunned.

Teacher Lu was supposed to be a healer and nanny for the soul.

How did it suddenly turn into a thunder and fire violent turret?

If I had known that Teacher Lu was so good, I should have volunteered to be on Teacher Lu's team from the beginning.

But He Lan's wild thoughts were put to an end.

A large hole was ripped into her chest.

A bright red heart was held in the paw of a furry beast.

He Lan struggled to turn her head and saw a huge leopard.

The last thing she saw was the leopard throwing her heart into its mouth and smacking it.

Lu Shi turned around and saw He Lan die.

A level 5 Storm Leopard.

That's right, it's level 5.

Only a level 5 being can appear as if teleporting and take He Lan's life.

Lu Shi glanced regretfully at the two girls' corpses on the ground. Then she looked up warily at the Tier 5 Storm Leopard.

At the same time, the man in black appeared once again.

At this moment, he and Storm Leopard stood to one side.
