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

White Tiger Academy.

Principal's Office.

"Lin Fan, Xu Liyue, Chu Yunfeng, and... Kong Bowen."

Han Xiao's gaze swept over the four photos on the table, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

The guardian beast of Qinglong Academy is indeed not to be underestimated.

Since he took over as the guardian beast, the strength of Azure Dragon Academy has been steadily increasing.

Especially the four people he personally taught...

If these people survive to the martial arts tournament, they are very likely to pose a threat to the White Tiger Academy!

Fortunately, Qinglong Academy's good luck has come to an end.

Because today, they are all going to die!

Han Xiao looked down at the red glass ball in his hand, a cold smile slowly curving his lips.

Although Lu Tianxiong, that good-for-nothing, has limited strength, the space he opens can only accommodate one fourth-tier dungeon at most.

But that's enough.

The terrifying [Eternal Hellfire Demon] could kill a few mere second-tier students as easily as crushing a few ants!

……

Qinglong Academy.

When Lin Fan opened his eyes, the martial arts training ground had already disappeared.

[Enter the dungeon - Eternal Abyss]

[Dungeon Level: Tier 4]

The place where the four were located had become a giant active volcano.

The sky was crimson, and beneath our feet lay jagged volcanic rocks, with molten lava gushing from the cracks.

The temperature here is frighteningly high; the scorching air almost melts you.

"Is this... a copy?"

The four quickly realized their current predicament.

Lin Fan frowned, noticing something amiss.

Three hundred years ago, after all races descended.

Various instances began to randomly appear across different parts of Earth.

Initially, quite a few residents were indeed unexpectedly drawn into the instance.

However, as humanity entered the martial arts era, martial artists skilled in formations set up barriers around cities, and such things rarely happened anymore.

With the protection of the barrier, most dungeons can only occur in desolate wilderness areas. Taking Ningchuan City as an example, in recent decades, there have been no cases of innocent citizens being caught up in dungeons within the city.

Not to mention, it's a level 4 dungeon.

"roar!"

Just then, a deafening roar resounded.

Inside the volcano, a massive figure, over ten meters tall, slowly rose from the lava.

It was a demon with a bull's head and a human body, wielding a giant sword.

Its body is made of dark red lava, with hot magma slowly flowing on its surface. Its horns and eyes are burning with flames, and it exhales hot white smoke from its nostrils.

[Dungeon Boss: Eternal Hellfire Demon]

[Race: Demon]

Boss Level: Fear Level 6

"A terrifying boss..."

Xu Liyue frowned slightly.

Clearly, she didn't think it was a coincidence either.

This suddenly appearing copy is very likely the work of someone.

"It seems that person thinks this terrifying-level boss can kill us all."

"But..." Staring at the colossal object before her, Xu Liyue showed no sign of backing down; instead, a fierce fighting spirit ignited in her beautiful eyes: "I don't think so!"

"Me too." Lin Fan smiled slightly, raised his hand and clenched his fist, a spear crackling with purple lightning appeared in his hand: "My physical body is the strongest, I'll take care of holding it off from the front."

Xu Liyue nodded slightly, and a pair of golden fiery wings unfurled behind her: "I'll go to the front too!"

"Fire Wing Technique".

Xu Liyue let out a soft shout, and suddenly a pair of wings formed from crimson-gold flames unfurled from her back.

With a flap of her fiery wings, scorching air currents swept outwards, and her figure rose from the ground, hovering in mid-air.

Xu Liyue turned to look at Kong Bowen and said, "Chu Yunfeng is the key to this dungeon raid, so I'm entrusting him with your protection."

Upon hearing this, Kong Bowen was somewhat surprised.

He had only known the three of them for a short time and didn't yet understand their martial spirits.

Chu Yunfeng was not particularly handsome, and his physical abilities were not strong when he trained in the martial arts training room.

I thought he was just like me, a newbie who had just officially embarked on the path of martial arts.

Kong Bowen never expected that this kid was actually a hidden master!

"Leave it to me. I'll protect him even if it costs me my life!" Kong Bowen patted his chest and promised.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan and Xu Liyue no longer hesitated and charged straight at the Eternal Prison Flame Demon.

Lin Fan made the first move, his Thunder Spear, crackling with blinding lightning, piercing through the air towards the Eternal Hellfire Demon.

The Eternal Hellfire Demon slowly lowered its head, the flames in its eyes flickering, and a smile spread across its lips: "Overestimating yourself."

It swung the huge cleaver with one arm, the blade bringing with it a wave of scorching fire, and slashed down at Lin Fan's head.

"Demons?"

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Fan immediately understood that the dungeon boss in front of him was from the demon race.

Compared to the beastmen, the demons are physically weaker, but they also possess greater intelligence, and a few demons can even wield powerful magic.

Lin Fan did not dodge; he held his spear horizontally, meeting the attack head-on.

"clang!"

The moment the blade collided with the spear, a violent shockwave exploded from the point of impact.

The rocks beneath Lin Fan's feet instantly cracked like a spider web, his body was suddenly pressed down, and the veins on his arms bulged.

This attack was barely blocked.

A hint of excitement flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.

He knew in his heart that the Thunderous Nine Forms could stack layers of hidden energy. As long as he could block the first attack, it meant that he could block the next eight attacks!

At the same time, Xu Liyue had already flown into the air.

A flaming bow materialized in her hand, and an arrow engulfed in golden flames was nocked on the string. The moment the bowstring was fully drawn, the surrounding air was scorched and slightly distorted.

Xu Liyue locked onto the Eternal Prison Flame Demon's burning eyes and suddenly released the arrow.

With a buzzing sound, the flaming arrow, trailing a dazzling golden tail, shot into the left eye of the Eternal Hellfire Demon.

"what!"

The Eternal Hellfire Demon let out a painful roar, magma splattering from its eye sockets.

It angrily swung its giant sword wildly, but Lin Fan was incredibly agile, weaving and dodging between the blades with ease.

Seizing the opportunity, the spear crackling with purple electricity lashed out and struck the Eternal Hellfire Demon's left knee.

Instantly, the rock above the Eternal Hellfire Demon's legs shattered, and magma gushed out from the cracks.

"You ants!"

The Eternal Hellfire Demon was utterly enraged.

Although the two humans had it completely outmaneuvered, the injuries they inflicted were not serious.

What truly bothered him was a strong sense of unease.

The source of this unease is not the two humans currently struggling with it.

Instead, it was the boy standing in the distance, holding an old black book, muttering something to himself.

The Eternal Prison Flame Demon had a vague feeling.

What that boy is doing is dangerous.

If we don't stop him, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"Show yourself, my retinue!"

The Eternal Hellfire Demon plunged its giant blade into the ground, causing the rocks beneath its feet to crack violently, with fissures spreading outwards like a spiderweb.

Fiery magma gushed from the cracks, and skeletal hands burning with flames rose from the ground, followed by empty, fleshless skulls.

Countless fiery skeletons crawled out of the lava, their eye sockets flaming with crimson flames, and they wielded bone knives as they surged toward Kong Bowen and Chu Yunfeng.

Densely packed, stretching as far as the eye can see.
