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

Qinglong Academy.

Su Chen swung his massive body back to school and lazily let out a burp.

After destroying the wolf's den, he felt a bit hungry, so on his way back, he decided to eat as he walked, devouring hundreds of ferocious beasts along the way.

This meal was truly filling; even Su Chen, who possessed the [Devour] skill, was quite stuffed and needed some time to digest the food in his stomach.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached.

Su Chen looked up and saw Zheng Yuanshan rushing over, his expression serious: "Old Su, something terrible has happened! Lin Fan and the others... are missing!"

"What?" Su Chen narrowed his golden vertical pupils.

Zheng Yuanshan frowned and said, "The school's spatial detection device just detected abnormal fluctuations. A copy of the game descended upon Qinglong Academy a few minutes ago, right in the training ground. They've probably all been caught in it."

As he spoke, a spatial dagger appeared in Zheng Yuanshan's palm, and he said anxiously, "Although the dungeon entrance has been closed, I can use the spatial dagger to forcibly tear open a rift. It should still be in time to go now..."

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

Su Chen remained remarkably calm: "High-level dungeons can't appear in the city, so this dungeon's level shouldn't be high, right?"

"It's roughly around level four. The boss in the dungeon is between level six and eight of the Fear level," Zheng Yuanshan replied.

For him and Su Chen, a fourth-tier dungeon might not be considered high-level.

However, for students who lack combat experience, the fourth-tier dungeon is absolutely hellish in difficulty!

However, Su Chen simply said in a calm tone, "Fourth tier? Then we don't need to worry about them. Just wait for them to come out on their own."

"Wait?" Zheng Yuanshan was stunned, his eyes widening. "Old Su, these are all once-in-a-century talents! You've worked so hard to train them, what if something goes wrong..."

Su Chen simply yawned lazily and closed his snake eyes slightly: "Don't worry, I know my students well."

……

Inside the instance.

Countless fiery skeletons surged toward Kong Bowen and Chu Yunfeng like a tidal wave.

Kong Bowen stood in front of Chu Yunfeng, each punch capable of shattering the head of a skeleton soldier.

As the skeleton soldiers fell, scorch marks were left on Kong Bowen's fists.

Kong Bowen took a deep breath.

He knew that he could not possibly stop this army of skeletons with his fists and feet alone.

He must rely on the power of his martial spirit!

For other martial artists, the martial spirit is like the body and limbs they are born with; once awakened, they can move freely.

But Kong Bowen was somewhat different.

Since awakening his martial spirit, it has never responded to his call.

Although the sword had always been in his mind, no matter how he tried, the sword spirit refused to appear.

But now, he has to do it.

Behind him, Chu Yunfeng was at the crucial stage of his chant.

A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.

Since I made a promise to protect Chu Yunfeng, I must keep my word!

Faced with the surging army of skeletons, Kong Bowen closed his eyes.

The books he had read that day flashed through his mind.

The Analects, Mencius, the Book of Poetry...

Lines of text flowed through Kong Bowen's mind, finally transforming into a golden ray of light that entered his body.

Suddenly, Kong Bowen opened his eyes.

A sword appeared in his hand.

This sword has a long, slender blade, and is entirely white, as if carved from jade.

The sword had no chilling glint, no menacing killing intent, only a gentle and refined scholarly air.

The sword hilt is engraved with three elegant and refined characters: "Gentleman's Sword".

The burly Kong Bowen and this sword looked utterly out of place together.

The moment he gripped the sword hilt, countless words suddenly flashed through Kong Bowen's mind.

He raised his head, looked at the army of skeletons before him, and involuntarily opened his mouth: "The Yellow River's waters come from the sky, rushing to the sea never to return!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Bowen raised his sword and slashed forward.

A golden sword aura, surging like the Yellow River, poured forth from the Gentleman's Sword.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the fiery skulls were as fragile as paper, annihilated into ashes by the overwhelming sword energy.

After a single sword strike, this massive army of skeletons was completely annihilated!

The sight before him caused the flame in the Eternal Hellfire Demon's single eye to flicker violently.

It didn't expect that these four humans, the least skilled and naive among them, would be so difficult to deal with.

Can't drag it any longer!

The Eternal Hellfire Demon could clearly sense that the dangerous aura emanating from Chu Yunfeng was growing stronger and stronger!

It has to deal with this guy itself!

The Eternal Hellfire roared, its giant hooves shattering the volcanic rocks beneath its feet as it attempted to charge towards Chu Yunfeng.

Lin Fan and Xu Liyue attacked at the same time.

"Thunderous Nine Forms!"

"Explosive Arrow Rain, disperse!"

Xu Liyue released the bowstring, and an arrow burning with golden flames shot out, suddenly splitting in mid-air into tens of thousands of tiny fire arrows, which rained down on the Eternal Hellfire Demon.

The arrows exploded one after another, blasting out a continuous sea of ​​golden fire.

Huge plumes of smoke and dust rose up, obscuring the sky and the sun.

"Annoying flies!"

The Eternal Hellfire Demon swung its giant blade in a rage, and it took a long time before the violent blade wind dispersed the dust that filled the sky.

The Eternal Hellfire Demon's vision finally cleared.

Good news, those two annoying flies are finally gone.

Bad news: the boy's chanting is finished.

As Lin Fan and Xu Liyue retreated to his side, Chu Yunfeng closed the blood-red curse book in his hand and calmly stared at the Eternal Hellfire Demon.

In that instant, an unprecedented chill rose from the Flame Demon's spine.

Chu Yunfeng slowly opened his palm.

In the palm of his hand, a small, jet-black ball had quietly condensed.

"Forbidden Spell - Earth Explosion Star".

As Chu Yunfeng's voice fell, the small black ball suddenly flew up and hovered directly above the Eternal Hellfire Demon's head.

The next second, the earth began to crack.

Countless volcanic rocks were torn apart by gravity and shattered into pieces, large and small, like a torrential downpour, carrying the Eternal Hellfire Demon towards the black sphere.

"What...is this?!"

The Eternal Hellfire Demon swung its giant sword in terror, shattering several rocks on its body. But the fragments immediately reattached, and the rocks piled up, enveloping it in an impenetrable stone sphere.

The Eternal Hellfire Demon struggled frantically within the center of the sphere, but no matter what it did, it could not stop the stone sphere from continuing to solidify.

Countless rocks continued to rise, piling up layer upon layer.

Finally, a giant stone sphere with a diameter of over 100 meters hovered in mid-air, blotting out the sun.

The roar of the Eternal Hellfire Demon completely disappeared, and the blood-red sky returned to deathly silence.

[Dungeon boss, Eternal Hellfire Demon, is dead]

[Dungeon - Eternal Abyss, cleared!]
