The light of the intermediate-level magic was extremely dazzling on the playground of Tianlan Magic High School. A turquoise star map intertwined beneath Wang Yu's feet, and violent wind elements spread outwards from him, forcefully pushing back the murky rain pouring down. Dean Chen Weiliang's mouth hung open in mid-air, his Adam's apple bobbing, but no sound came out. Xue Musheng pushed up his glasses, which had slipped off his nose, revealing utter horror behind the lenses.

"Now, follow my command." Wang Yu's voice, mixed with wind magic, clearly struck the eardrums of every teacher and student present. There was no discussion, no consultation; this was the power that came from overwhelming strength.

Fortunately, the teachers and students did indeed behave like lambs in the face of life and death, which relieved Wang Yu, who was preparing to make an example of them.

As the teachers gathered, dozens of one-eyed wolves had already scaled the wall, prying at the iron fence surrounding the playground with a sickeningly loud cracking sound. Their coarse, gray fur was stained with mud and blood, and their crimson single eyes stared intently at the dense crowd on the playground. Foul-smelling saliva dripped from their fangs, splashing onto the synthetic running track.

"Earth mages, all of you, advance! Release earth waves along the edge of the playground and turn the ground into a swamp!" Wang Yu slammed his right hand down, a burst of brown light flashing in his palm. He didn't wait for the terrified students to react before launching his spell.

The star map beneath his feet instantly turned from blue to brown, and a massive amount of earth-elemental magical energy flowed down his legs and into the ground. The rubber track at the edge of the playground, along with the concrete foundation below, churned violently, and the once-hard ground transformed in the blink of an eye into a dark brown swamp with a strong suction effect.

The seven or eight one-eyed demon wolves at the forefront sank into the mud the moment their front paws touched the ground. The immense momentum caused them to lose their balance, their huge bodies tumbling in the mud and water, emitting angry howls.

"Water mage, Water Defense! Cast shields on the people on the perimeter! Lightning, Fire, Ice, prepare to attack!" Wang Yu's commands rained down like a machine gun.

Mo Fan, who had just escaped from the Sacred Spring, stood in the crowd, watching the figure at the forefront, methodically directing the entire defensive line. His fist clenched tightly. He could feel the suffocating magical energy emanating from Wang Yu, a power that completely surpassed the initial stage.

"Awooo—"

A deafening wolf howl echoed from the direction of the hill behind the school. The sound was ten times more muffled and ferocious than the roar of the one-eyed wolf. Two enormous black shadows crashed through the glass curtain wall on the side of the teaching building, slamming heavily into the center of the playground.

The entire ground trembled.

Those were two bony wolves, each nearly seven meters long. Their bodies were covered in dark brown keratin, and a row of sharp, thick bony spurs protruded from their backs. Three scarlet eyes gleamed with a despairing ferocity in the rain.

Two demons at the level of generals.

The teachers and students, who had just breathed a sigh of relief after the one-eyed wolf was stopped, fell into a deathly silence. Several timid girls collapsed to the ground, their desperate cries echoing through the crowd.

"Quiet!" Wang Yu shouted.

He didn't retreat a single step, a faint blue tinge appearing deep within his pupils. Water-based magical energy gathered in his left hand, and a stream of eerie blue water materialized out of thin air.

The hind leg muscles of the bone-spiked wolf on the right suddenly bulged, and its huge body transformed into a heavy tank, charging towards the densest area of ​​the crowd.

"Calmness, Stormy Waves, Expulsion!"

Wang Yu pushed forward with his left hand. A five-meter-high wall of dark blue water rose from the ground and surged back towards the Bone-Spiked Wolf.

"Bang!"

The Bone-Spiked Wolf crashed headfirst into the wall of water, and a series of muffled thuds of bones breaking were heard. Broken ribs pierced its internal organs, and the enormous wolf was instantly killed.

At the same time, another Bone-Spiked Wolf pounced on Wang Yu from the flank. It leaped high into the air, its massive shadow completely enveloping Wang Yu, its sharp claws aimed straight for Wang Yu's head.

Wang Yu didn't even turn his head. His right hand had already completed the drawing of the fire star map, with forty-nine crimson stars intertwined in his palm.

"Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering!"

Wang Yu's right arm muscles tensed as he threw a punch upwards.

A massive fire fist, over two meters in diameter, rose from the ground, dragging a raging tail of flames, and slammed into the belly of the bone-spiked wolf in mid-air.

Boom!

The blinding flames illuminated the entire playground as if it were daytime. The Bone-Spiked Wolf let out a shrill scream, its keratinous layer on its abdomen carbonizing and shattering under the intense heat. Its massive body was sent flying by the force of the powerful punch, crashing heavily into the distant stands and collapsing a large section of concrete seats.

Two incredibly powerful and invincible warriors, who inspired despair, were easily and instantly killed by two spells!

The one-eyed demon wolves that had been charging frantically on the periphery noticeably slowed their advance after witnessing their leader's tragic fate. Their demonic instincts told them that the human before them was extremely dangerous.

Demons also possess a certain level of intelligence, and faced with the aura of a mid-level mage, the one-eyed demon wolves wisely chose to temporarily avoid a direct confrontation.

Wang Yu dispersed the magic he had drawn in his hand and shook the rain off his wrist. He turned around and glanced at the stunned teachers and students.

"The first wave of beasts has receded." Wang Yu's voice echoed across the deathly silent training ground. "But this is just the appetizer. Those who don't want to die here, line up immediately and prepare to evacuate!"

His gaze swept past the crowd, landing on the city ruins outside the school, engulfed in blood and fire. A denser cacophony of demonic howls was converging from all directions.

There was no time to waste. Wang Yu strode up to the Dean of Students and said in a rapid-fire voice, "Director Chen, Teacher Xue, the demon attacks haven't stopped. If the students stay here, they'll only die. We must move towards the safe zone."

Chen Weiliang, now relieved of his command duties, felt weak all over. He looked at Wang Yu, his voice trembling, "More than two thousand people... that's too big a target. The demons will soon notice us, then divide us up... and slaughter us."

"So we need a vanguard team." Wang Yu's gaze passed over Chen Weiliang and locked onto several figures in the crowd. "They'll clear the way ahead, eliminating any stray demons and avoiding large hordes of beasts. This team will be led by Teacher Xue Musheng." He turned to Xue Musheng beside him, "I suggest bringing Mo Fan, Mu Bai, and Zhang Xiaohou."

Xue Musheng nodded. "And there's Xu Zhaoting, Zhao Kunsan, Zhou Min, Wang Sanpang, and He Yu. The nine of us will form the vanguard team. Anyone who doesn't want to participate, raise your hand now to leave."

The students whose names were called jolted. Mo Fan pushed his way through the crowd, his eyes sharp. Zhang Xiaohou followed closely behind, his face pale, but he didn't back down. Mu Bai gritted his teeth, glanced at Wang Yu, and silently stepped forward.

No one has quit.

"Wang Yu, what about you?" Xue Musheng asked nervously. "Aren't you coming with us to clear the way ahead?"

"I'll stay with the main force." Wang Yu pointed to the two thousand teachers and students behind him. "The vanguard team is only responsible for scouting and dealing with lone monsters. If you encounter a Warrior-level or a large group of Servant-level monsters, signal immediately. I'll handle it. Your task is to maintain formation and never stray more than three hundred meters from the main force."

He walked up to Mo Fan: "Although I didn't witness your duel firsthand, I've heard you're born with dual elemental abilities. You're the key to breaking this deadlock. Don't hold back when danger arises. Staying alive is the most important thing."

Mo Fan grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "Don't worry, I haven't lived enough yet."
