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

Before the fourth-tier dungeon, [Mass Graveyard], Chu Yunfeng glanced at Chu Lingxi beside him, feeling somewhat helpless.

After receiving the mission, he returned to Qinglong Academy, intending to ask Shen Danqing for a few bottles of Qi Condensation Pills.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Chu Lingxi on the way.

Upon learning that Chu Yunfeng was going to the fourth-tier dungeon alone, Chu Lingxi's eyes welled up with tears of worry. She bit her lip and tugged at his clothes.

I insisted on going with him no matter what.

Chu Yunfeng tried to persuade her for a long time before finally getting the clingy little thing to let go. But as soon as he stepped into the teleportation array, Chu Lingxi followed him.

"Are you sure you want to come in with me?" Chu Yunfeng looked down at his sister and asked helplessly.

"Yes!" Chu Lingxi nodded without hesitation, "I've awakened my Martial Soul and can fight alongside my brother! Moreover, the Guardian Beast said that my Martial Soul and my brother are a perfect match, and when combined, they can unleash tremendous power!"

"This dungeon is full of terrifying zombies, aren't you afraid you won't be able to sleep at night?" Chu Yunfeng asked.

"I'm not afraid of anything as long as I can help my brother!" Chu Lingxi pouted.

"Alright," Chu Yunfeng sighed and had no choice but to agree.

Chu Lingxi had already followed him here; leaving her alone outside the instance would be more dangerous.

"But you have to promise me that once we're inside, you must stay by my side and never leave my sight, understand?"

"Yes!" Chu Lingxi nodded vigorously immediately.

"Let's set off then, and try to finish this quickly."

Chu Yunfeng gripped his sister's hand tightly and led her into the vortex before them.

……

[Enter the instance - Mass Grave]

[Dungeon Level: Tier 4]

Upon entering the instance, one is greeted by a desolate graveyard, with withered grass lying flat, tombstones crooked, and countless broken coffin fragments scattered on the ground.

Tens of thousands of pale-skinned zombies were thrashing about aimlessly, emitting eerie roars from their throats.

Sensing the presence of living beings, the white zombies turned around and slowly thrashed about, converging towards Chu Yunfeng.

There are nine levels of zombies: white zombie, green zombie, purple zombie, hairy zombie, flying zombie, wandering zombie, lying zombie, uncorrupted bone, and demon.

High-level zombies have long lifespans and possess extremely high intelligence, making them very troublesome for humans.

However, these white zombies were not a threat. They were slow-moving, unintelligent, and their physical strength was far inferior to that of ferocious beasts and demons of the same level. Even if their numbers were large, they would be easy for Chu Yunfeng to handle.

Chu Yunfeng raised his right hand, and the blood-red codex silently appeared, its pages automatically turning in front of him and stopping at one of them.

Gazing at the dark, overwhelming horde of white zombies before him, Chu Yunfeng slowly uttered four words: "Nine Heavens Thunder Curse."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky above the entire mass grave suddenly darkened!

Thick thunderclouds surged in from all directions, and a deep, suffocating thunder rumbled from the depths of the clouds.

The next second, a blazing white lightning bolt descended from the sky, enveloping the entire graveyard in blinding light.

The white zombies didn't even have time to scream before they were reduced to ashes by the lightning.

A moment later, the lightning gradually dissipated, and a strong smell of burning filled the air. Tens of thousands of white zombies had been completely annihilated by this attack, leaving not a single intact corpse behind.

"Brother is so amazing!" Chu Lingxi's eyes sparkled with admiration.

Chu Yunfeng smiled and patted her little head, but didn't let his guard down.

The instance did not disappear, nor were the two teleported to the outside world.

This means that the dungeon has not yet been completed.

Just then, an arm covered in black corpse hair suddenly emerged from the ground in the distance.

Unlike the slow-moving white zombies, this zombie moved very smoothly, and its eerie green eyes gleamed with a light similar to that of a human.

"It wasn't that simple after all..."

Chu Yunfeng was already prepared.

Since it's a Tier 4 dungeon, it can't just be a bunch of white zombie minions.

However, the hairy zombie in front of him still surprised him.

Both its aura and its eerie eyes far surpassed those of an ordinary zombie.

It's evolving into a zombie!

If given a few more days, this hairy zombie will probably evolve into a wandering corpse!

"Human, you are very strong, but that's all."

The zombie slowly raised its arm covered in corpse hair and grinned maliciously.

In an instant, the ground of the mass grave trembled violently, and one after another, pitch-black coffins emerged from the ground, standing densely behind it.

They stood densely packed behind it. The coffin lids exploded one after another, revealing rows of purplish-black zombies inside.

One, two, three, four...

There were over a thousand purple zombies whose strength was comparable to that of a third-tier martial artist!

"I know humans very well." The zombie grinned, its mouth full of fangs, and chuckled hoarsely, "Your bodies are far inferior to those of the Corpse Clan. Your meridians are incredibly fragile, and your strength is only at the third rank. You can only unleash that kind of powerful lightning spell once or twice more before your body can't withstand it. At that point, I won't even need to lift a finger; you'll die right here!"

After saying that, Mao Jiang said in an icy voice, "Kill him and make him one of our comrades."

The moment the voice fell, thousands of sleeping purple zombies awoke simultaneously.

They roared deafeningly and surged towards Chu Yunfeng and Chu Lingxi like a raging torrent, the air thick with the stench of corpses.

"This is hardly the level of a Tier 4 dungeon!" Chu Yunfeng complained helplessly.

If he were alone today, he really wouldn't be able to handle this situation.

Fortunately, Lingxi came along.

"Lingxi," Chu Yunfeng called out to Chu Lingxi.

"Mmm!" Chu Lingxi nodded vigorously, clasping her two small hands together in front of her chest.

A tender green sapling emerged from her palm, its delicate branches swaying gently, casting a soft, emerald-green halo that enveloped Chu Yunfeng.

Chu Yunfeng opened the [Forbidden Codex], smiled slightly, and said in a calm voice, "Nine Heavens Thunder Spell."

The sky was covered with dark clouds.

"boom!"

A thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky once more, striking the center of the purple zombie horde.

Hundreds of purple zombies vanished in an instant.

The furry zombie in the distance remained unmoved, instead grinning and revealing a hint of disdain in its eerie green eyes: "I'd like to see how many more times you can unleash this ability."

As the forbidden spell was cast, Chu Yunfeng raised his hand again: "Nine Heavens Thunder Spell!"

"Nine Heavens Thunder Spell!"

"Nine Heavens Thunder Spell!"

"Nine Heavens Thunder Spell!"

"..."
