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

It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.

Song Yufei never expected that Kong Bowen would appear in front of her so easily.

"Perfect timing, I'll take care of him!" A boy stepped out from the crowd and said confidently.

He possesses an A-grade elemental martial soul, [Flame].

While not top-tier, they are definitely a core group among a dozen or so people.

The boy stole a glance at Song Yufei, secretly feeling smug.

Senior Song's abilities are second only to Shen Yifeng's, making her one of the principal's most valued students.

Gaining her favor will surely bring many benefits in the future.

What's more, Senior Song is already beautiful. If this move can make her think more highly of me, then I'll have hit the jackpot!

Thinking of this, the boy quickly condensed a ball of crimson flame in his palm, about to shoot it towards Kong Bowen.

Just then, a dark blue fireball, dozens of times larger than the flame in his hand, suddenly flew out from behind Kong Bowen and hurtled towards the boy.

"boom!"

The fireball exploded, and the boy was thrown away by the violent impact, crashing heavily to the ground, his entire body engulfed in eerie blue flames.

The screams were incessant.

The light from the teleportation array quickly enveloped the boy, teleporting him outside the secret realm.

Song Yufei was stunned.

What just happened?

She did not see Kong Bowen make a move.

So, what was that ghostly blue flame just now?

Song Yufei looked past Kong Bowen and towards what was behind him.

The next moment, Song Yufei's expression froze.

Countless heavy footsteps echoed from the depths of the forest, the ground trembled violently, and a chilling roar reverberated in the air.

Song Yufei finally saw the real culprit from earlier.

Amidst the billowing dust, a male lion engulfed in eerie blue flames charged out first.

Flaming Lion, a ferocious beast of the dangerous level!

That's not all; there are also armored lizards, giant-toothed boars, shadow-patterned leopards, thunderous bulls...

Thousands of ferocious beasts, in a vast and mighty procession, followed Kong Bo as they charged toward this place.

"No, have you guys not eaten? Can you run a little faster?"

As Kong Bowen ran, he would occasionally glance back and sneer.

Song Yufei's face turned deathly pale instantly.

She really couldn't understand what Kong Bowen was doing.

Gathering thousands of ferocious beasts at once, is he trying to kill himself even faster?

Although the bracelet has a near-death teleportation array, it can only teleport a person to the outside of the secret realm before they suffer a fatal injury.

If Kong Bowen dares to stop now, he will be torn to pieces by these ferocious beasts in an instant, and even a teleportation array cannot save him.

madman!

This guy is an absolute madman!

We absolutely must not get involved with him!

"Sister Song, should we still go after Kong Bowen?" a boy asked, his voice trembling slightly.

"If you want to die, go ahead and do it yourself!" Song Yufei glared at him fiercely and said sharply, "Forget about him, let's go! If we get targeted too, it'll be too late to escape!"

After saying that, Song Yufei turned and flew off in another direction without looking back.

Seeing the surging beast tide coming from behind, everyone else was terrified and followed Song Yufei's footsteps, afraid of getting involved with Kong Bowen, this jinx.

"Yellow River Swordplay!"

A sword aura shot out from Kong Bowen's hand, slicing through the neck of a Shadow Leopard.

While running, the Shadow Leopard suddenly stiffened, fell heavily to the ground, twitched a few times, and then stopped breathing.

But this did not deter the ferocious beasts behind them; instead, it made them even angrier.

The ferocious beasts, which originally inhabited various places and had no connection with each other, now all had a common goal—

This despicable human must be killed!

"Oh no, I think I'm running out of energy."

Sheathing his sword, Kong Bowen continued running forward, his breathing noticeably heavier, sweat beading on his forehead.

In the original plan, he was only responsible for luring them away and did not have to fight any of the ferocious beasts.

But as more and more ferocious beasts joined the beast tide, and speed-type beasts such as the Shadow Leopard and Lightning Wolf appeared, he was forced to take action.

This resulted in physical exertion occurring much faster than Kong Bowen had anticipated.

At this rate, he won't be able to hold out long enough to run back to Chu Yunfeng!

The roars of beasts behind him grew closer, and several dark figures darted among the trees, now less than a few dozen meters away.

Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through Kong Bowen's mind.

He received the Yellow River Sword Technique when he recited "Bring in the Wine" last time. What if he recites other poems?

"A strong wind rises, and the clouds fly high!"

The moment the voice fell, a movement technique called "Wind-Treading Technique" appeared in Kong Bowen's mind.

A lightning wolf pounced from the side, moving with lightning speed, its sharp claws slashing towards Kong Bowen's throat.

Just then, a gentle breeze suddenly arose beneath Kong Bowen's feet, making his entire body instantly feel incredibly light.

Kong Bowen stepped on the breeze and turned to strike with his sword.

"Yellow River Swordplay!"

With a single sword strike, Lightning Wolf was decapitated, his body crashing to the ground!

Kong Bowen landed on his feet, and with each step he seemed to be carried by a gentle breeze, making him nearly three times faster than before.

"This is the 'Wind-Riding Technique'!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Kong Bowen's eyes.

With the blessing of this method, he immediately became more and more at ease.

……

The outskirts of the forest.

Lin Fan stopped in his tracks.

From afar came deafening roars and the sound of running, and countless birds were startled from the forest and scattered in all directions.

"What happened?"

Lin Fan frowned.

Such a commotion could not have been caused by just a few ferocious beasts.

I glanced at the time; there were only ten minutes left before the secret realm ended.

Lin Fan decided to seize this last bit of time to maximize his points.

He gripped the Purple Lightning Spear tightly, his figure blurred, and he quickly rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.

……

On the summit of a towering mountain, Xu Liyue stood gazing into the distance.

The view here is excellent, offering a panoramic view of most of the Qingyun Secret Realm.

She quickly noticed something unusual deep in the forest.

Xu Liyue narrowed her beautiful eyes.

Such a commotion, could it be...?

"Xiao Hong, let's go."

She glanced at the little bird on her shoulder, then leaped down from the mountaintop and headed towards the chaotic area.

……

at the same time.

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon!"

As they drew closer to the meeting place with Chu Yunfeng, Kong Bowen deliberately slowed down.

The ferocious beasts behind them gradually caught up.

Running at the very front was the Flaming Lion, who hated Kong Bowen to the core.

"roar!"

Seeing that it had finally caught up with the despicable human, the Flame Lion let out an excited roar, as if it could already smell the blood of the human being torn apart.

"Wind-Riding Technique!"

Just then, a gentle breeze arose from beneath Kong Bowen's feet, and his figure shot forward like an arrow, his speed suddenly increasing, leaving the Flaming Lion and the many ferocious beasts behind him behind, and he shouted forward.

"My mission is complete."

"The rest is up to you!"
