Reborn as the Candle Dragon, I became the strongest academy guardian beast.

The moment the sound faded, the world seemed to stand still.

Centered on Chu Yunfeng's feet, countless dark blue ice roses grew and bloomed, spreading wildly in all directions.

Where the ice roses grow, red beetles, slime worms, white worms, and even the insectoids hidden deep underground are instantly frozen, turning into lifelike ice sculptures.

Snowflakes were falling heavily from the sky, and within just a few breaths, the entire instance was transformed into a deathly, snowy tomb!

Shen Yifeng's disdainful smile froze.

This is ice magic!

Who on earth could unleash ice magic powerful enough to affect the entire instance?!

Shen Yifeng suddenly looked down at his wrist.

At that moment, the counter on his wrist was jumping wildly as if it had gone mad.

[Notification: Azure Dragon Academy has slain 230 Tier 2 Red Beetles!]

[Notification: Azure Dragon Academy has slain 510 Tier 2 Red Beetles!]

[Notification: Azure Dragon Academy has slain 700 Tier 2 Red Beetles!]

[Notification: Azure Dragon Academy has slain one thousand Tier 2 Red Beetles!]

The numbers on the screen finally stopped.

In the end, Qinglong Academy ranked first with the achievement of killing 1,024 red beetles, 100 slime worms, and 80 white worms!

"Impossible!" Shen Yifeng's eyes widened as he stared intently at the unbelievable numbers on the counter.

What exactly happened?

Just a moment ago, Qinglong Academy was far behind him, so how could it suddenly increase by so much?

Could it be that the counter is malfunctioning?

That must be it!

Just then, a voice sounded from everyone's bracelets.

"All Zerg in the instance have been eliminated. Trial over."

"In this trial, Azure Dragon Academy achieved a crushing victory, securing first place. Congratulations to Azure Dragon Academy!"

"Everyone will be teleported back to their respective schools in thirty seconds."

"Repeat, the trial is over. Everyone will be teleported back to their respective schools in thirty seconds."

"..."

The Education Bureau actually approved this result?

Shen Yifeng was incredulous and roared hysterically in frustration, "This is impossible! I'm reporting this! Qinglong Academy must have cheated!"

However, a white light rose from beneath his feet and engulfed his body.

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yifeng's figure disappeared from the spot and was forcibly teleported back to White Tiger Academy.

The students from various schools in the instance, as well as Lin Fan, Xu Liyue, and Chu Yunfeng, also disappeared in the light.

……

at the same time.

Qinglong Academy.

[Evolving using 50000 Evolution Points]

As the system's voice sounded, Su Chen felt a surge of immense power erupt from his body, flowing along his blood vessels to his limbs and bones.

A series of cracking sounds came from his bones as his body began to grow again.

Forty meters.

Forty-five meters.

Fifty meters!

When Su Chen first evolved into the Fear level, his body length was only thirty meters.

Now, his body length has increased to fifty meters!

"roar!"

Su Chen raised his enormous snake head. Now, the sound emanating from his throat was no longer the hissing of a snake, but a deep, resonant roar, somewhere between a snake and a dragon.

Su Chen slowly opened his golden eyes, and his aura surged like a flood breaking through a dam, breaking through the shackles of the Fear level and stepping into a completely new realm.

Fifth tier, Lord level!

There is a huge dividing line between the fourth and fifth orders.

Most ferocious beasts below the fifth rank lack intelligence, live alone, and have low IQ, making them no different from wild animals.

However, ferocious beasts that reach the fifth-tier lord level often possess a certain degree of intelligence.

They know how to build their own power in their territory, how to fight as a group, and sometimes they will even join forces with other lord-level ferocious beasts to attack humans together.

Therefore, human warriors often need to be extra careful when facing lord-level ferocious beasts.

Of course, the intelligence of these lord-level ferocious beasts was completely insignificant compared to Su Chen's...

"System, open the panel," Su Chen said.

A panel quickly appeared in front of him.

Su Chen

Gender: Male

[Rank: Lord (Tier 5, Level 1)]

[Length: 50 meters]

[Race: Thunderflame Black Python]

Skill 1

[Devour (lv2): You can evolve infinitely by devouring everything]

[Skill 2]

【Demon God's Eye (lv2): You can see through other people's attribute panels, aptitude, hidden martial souls...】

[Skill 3]

[Forbidden Codex (lv1): A dark magic book that records countless powerful forbidden spells]

Skill Four

[Regeneration (lv1): You can quickly heal your own injuries and regenerate the injured parts.]

"My race has changed from a black snake to a black python."

"'Thunder Flame' probably refers to the power I gained from Lin Fan and Xu Liyue to control the elements of thunder and fire."

Su Chen murmured.

In addition, he also obtained the complete version of the Forbidden Codex from Chu Yunfeng.

Although using forbidden spells also consumes life force, fortunately, he also gained the regenerative ability of the [Undying Black Coffin].

Level 1 [Regeneration].

His current recovery ability is comparable to Chu Yunfeng's; he can quickly recover from injuries and regenerate severed limbs, but it will take some time.

As Chu Yunfeng's strength continues to increase, his regeneration level will also increase, with the upper limit potentially reaching immortality!

This will become his crucial trump card for survival!

"Very good." Su Chen narrowed his snake-like eyes in satisfaction.

As he continued to evolve, he could feel the faint trace of the Candle Dragon bloodline within him becoming increasingly pure.

Each transformation brought him closer and closer to that ancestor he had never met!

"I wonder how Lin Fan and the others are doing in the dungeon."

Just then, three beams of cyan light suddenly lit up from the teleportation array.

Lin Fan, Xu Liyue, and Chu Yunfeng walked out from there.

"Teacher, we're back!"

Upon seeing Su Chen, the three of them showed excited expressions.

Su Chen nodded slightly, his voice tinged with anticipation: "What was the result?"

Lin Fan glanced at Chu Yunfeng and said with a smile, "You should explain. This time, it's all thanks to you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfeng shook his head with utmost seriousness: "How could it be my achievement alone? If Brother Fan hadn't been slaying the red beetles in front of me, and if Senior Sister Xu Liyue hadn't been protecting me, I would never have been able to successfully cast the forbidden spell."

"So, this is the result of the three of us working together."

After speaking, Chu Yunfeng looked up at Su Chen and smiled憨厚ly, "Teacher, we have successfully completed our mission. We have won first place representing Qinglong Academy!"
