(The wind has passed, but the waves continue to rise.)
Under the teacher's guidance, the students' battle against the monsters finally became more organized, at least they stopped sabotaging their own side, and the frontline warriors finally began to fight back. The earth mage's traps affected the monsters' agility, and the archers finally stopped firing wildly and calmly began aiming at the monsters' vital points. The mages' spells also stopped canceling each other out, and they began to have both offense and defense.
The water mage continuously cast magical water shields to block the low-level spells cast by some magical beasts, relieving a lot of pressure on everyone.
The two frogs summoned by Wang Han kept a close eye on the battle ahead. Whenever they detected any danger to the students' lives, their long tongues would stick out from their mouths to dispel the magic of the monsters or stick to the monsters that threatened the students' lives, pull them back, and swallow them.
The teacher breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the students were able to cooperate to a basic extent, and that Wang Han's summoned beasts were always able to save the students before they were in danger.
Wang Han watched for a while longer, still somewhat disappointed. That was all; the results so far were only five or six. In fact, all the warriors in front were wounded, and several archers and mages in the back were also unfortunately injured by the magic of the monsters. These students had almost no experience in melee combat, and even lacked experience in fighting alone. How could they possibly excel in team battles?
Wang Han decided to end this farce. It was just children playing house, with no sense of life-or-death combat. Wang Han felt that he should first train Anqi's experience in fighting monsters before training her teamwork skills. Otherwise, it would only be a waste of effort, since she didn't even know how to fight, let alone cooperate with others.
Wang Han instructed the two-headed wolves surrounding the monsters: "Kill these monsters, but don't hurt the others."
"Awooo..." Upon receiving Wang Han's command, the ten two-headed wolves did not hesitate at all. They howled in unison and charged at the demonic beasts. With a single bite of their massive jaws, they shattered the bones of the outermost demonic beasts. With a swipe of their giant claws, they easily slammed the demonic beasts into the ground. A light sweep of their claws severed the bodies of the demonic beasts.
Within a few breaths, dozens of demonic beasts were all brutally killed by the massive jaws and claws of the ten two-headed wolves.
"Phew..." Amy and the female warrior breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the battle end in just a few breaths with the two-headed wolf. In such a short time, most of the students were already injured. Of course, this was also related to the strength of the summoned monsters; the students were only second-tier professionals and had never experienced such a life-or-death battle. They could outnumber the enemy, but being outnumbered themselves was not an option.
"It's finally over." The students breathed a sigh of relief, and some even plopped down on the ground.
"Treat them first," Wang Han instructed the two-headed wolf, who had healing abilities.
Upon receiving the order, the two-headed wolf with healing abilities stepped forward and breathed out a white light that enveloped all the students. In less than a minute, the students, who had been covered in wounds, were completely healed, and even their fatigue from the battle was greatly restored.
Anqi said to the two teachers, "Teachers, Wang Han said that everyone doesn't even have the awareness of fighting to the death, so the teamwork training will be temporarily suspended. We should first train individual combat skills before considering team issues."
Upon hearing this, the students breathed a sigh of relief. Those magical beasts were far beyond their current capabilities, and there were so many of them.
'Have they been abandoned?' The two teachers exchanged a glance, feeling sorry for the students who were still gloating. Wang Han was a summoner; the training provided by such a powerful figure was invaluable. These students would regret it terribly once they realized what was happening.
"Go hunt around on your own!" Wang Han waved his hand, letting the ten two-headed wolves go hunting on their own.
The team then continued their journey, but did not venture deeper into the Monster Forest, nor did they use the two-headed wolf to drive the monsters over. When they encountered suitable monsters, Wang Han would let Anqi deal with them alone, while he would instruct Anqi on how to command her summoned beasts to attack, where to attack, how to dodge, how to judge by appearance, and when the opportunity would arise.
The other students also adopted the same hunting strategy as the teams from other colleges. When they encountered magical beasts, they would rush in as a group. However, the magical beasts they encountered were on average one level stronger than those encountered by teams from other colleges.
Several days passed quickly. With Wang Han focusing his guidance solely on An Qi, while the others were consistently guided by their teacher (though safety was adequately guaranteed), the students finally realized they had been abandoned. Perhaps there would be other opportunities in the future, but not this Monster Forest expedition. Whether they could rejoin An Qi's group and receive Wang Han's guidance on the next Monster Forest expedition depended entirely on their future luck. As for seeking out Wang Han, none of them dared to actually do so.
——————————————
In the Monster Forest, after a battle, Angie successfully commanded her two-headed wolf cubs to hunt down a lone Tier 3 monster, the Flaming Red Wolf.
“Anqi, your command of summoned beasts still has some shortcomings. You missed several opportunities to hunt down the Flame Wolves during the battle.” After the battle, Wang Han said to Anqi, “Battle is all about fighting to the death, especially when the forces are evenly matched. You must seize the opportunity and beat the enemy to a pulp. It’s very common for the tide to turn in battle. You need to be bolder and more decisive. You also made a few wrong commands during the battle. Remember to command according to the characteristics of your own summoned beasts and the characteristics of the enemy, and play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.”
“Hmm…” Anqi nodded seriously, memorizing everything Wang Han said.
