Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

On Saturday and Sunday, the six people who were about to enter Lingnan Sand Bridge basically spent their time at the Shangwu Training Hall studying magic, practicing formations, and familiarizing themselves with teamwork.

As for whether it will actually be effective, we can only truly verify that once we enter Lingnan Shaqiao.

Monday arrived in the blink of an eye, and six seats in the already small Class 3 of Grade 11 were now empty.

Many students frequently turned to look at the empty seats, feeling both envious and worried.

Meanwhile, the six people had already boarded the bus.

Besides Wang Yi and his group of six, there were two other boys and two girls traveling with them, who were four senior high school students.

Wang Yi glanced at the face and saw no familiar faces, which immediately put him at ease.

Wang Jiang nodded and greeted one of the tall boys after they met.

Besides Bai Yu, there was also a thin, middle-aged male teacher traveling in the car, who was probably the teacher of several senior high school students.

The atmosphere on the bus was rather quiet. Wang Yi closed his eyes to rest, and most of the others were also trying to adjust their mood.

Even Qi Xiaohao, who was usually the most cheerful, didn't have much desire to chat at this moment.

The excitement had already been released in the past few days, and now that the moment was approaching, a sense of tension inevitably arose in their hearts.

The bus traveled south, gradually leaving the bustling city center behind.

Wang Yi looked out the window listlessly. The surrounding buildings were starting to become sparse, and occasionally some unfinished construction projects that looked like they had been abandoned for a long time would flash by.

About two hours later, the bus slowed down and came to a stop after climbing a steep slope.

"arrive."

Bai Yu spoke first, attracting the students' attention.

The gate opened, and Wang Yi picked up his backpack and stepped off the bus.

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge metal gate and a dark gray city wall.

That's right, it's the city wall, because it's a full twenty meters high and stretches all the way to the horizon.

In ancient times, this would have been an unimaginable undertaking, but in modern times, with its various large-scale machinery and even magical assistance, it is much simpler.

The city wall is also covered with a menacing metal electric fence, and there are eye-catching signs every few dozen meters.

"Military restricted area, no unauthorized personnel allowed!"

"High voltage, danger! Do not touch!"

Bai Yu took out the document and went up to negotiate with the soldier on guard.

The soldier picked up the phone to report, while Wang Yi and the others waited nearby, glancing around with curiosity and caution.

After giving the report, Bai Yu instructed everyone, "Unload all your personal belongings."

After the group opened the bus's luggage compartment and unloaded all the luggage, the bus immediately turned around and left.

Within five minutes, the sturdy metal door slid open a crack with a rumbling sound, and several jeeps drove out.

The door of the lead jeep opened, and a middle-aged man with a sturdy build, rough, dark red skin, and a square face stepped out. He was wearing a dark yellow camouflage military uniform.

"Teacher Bai." The middle-aged man smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Bai Yu first.

"Commander Zhang," Bai Yu greeted him first, and then began to act as the introducer.

"This is Zhang Jin, the commander of the Candlelight Army, and this is Shen Yuan, a teacher from our school."

Shen Yuan, the thin teacher standing next to Bai Yu, immediately extended his hand politely: "Commander Zhang, thank you for your assistance. This trip has been quite troublesome."

"Teacher Shen, you're too kind."

After introducing Shen Yuan, Bai Yu stepped aside to reveal the ten students behind her: "These are the students who entered Lingnan Shaqiao this time."

"Greetings, Commander Zhang!" the students greeted in unison.

Zhang Jin looked at the group of energetic students, his gaze sweeping over their still somewhat immature faces, and laughed heartily: "Truly a group of fine young men!"

He lingered a little longer on the general holding the two-meter-long halberd, and couldn't help but ask, "Who is the commander of the Pioneer Army's brigade, Wang Bing?"

The king stood ramrod straight: "He is my father."

Zhang Jin praised, "Like father, like son."

After the soldiers finished checking everyone's luggage, Zhang Jin waved his hand and said, "Get on the bus."

Wang Yi and his group of ten, carrying their bags and packages after inspection, boarded the following jeeps in an orderly fashion.

Bai Yu and Shen Yuan got directly into Zhang Jin's car.

The vehicle turned around and headed towards the military region.

"Teacher Bai, the way you've handled this matter is really giving me a headache," Zhang Jin said with a wry smile inside the car.

Since only ten spots were approved for entry into Lingnan Shaqiao this time, and Bai Yu gave them all to the students, Bai Yu and Shen Yuan should not have been able to enter this time.

However, Lanling Magic High School couldn't just leave these students stranded in Lingnan Shaqiao for training without sending teachers along.

Even if Zhang Jinhui assigns a team to provide covert protection, the school cannot remain uninvolved.

Bai Yu and Shen Yuan were the teachers who accompanied the ten students to provide protection.

"Commander Zhang, although Lingnan Shaqiao is not an open passage between the two worlds, Teacher Shen and I are authorized to apply for entry, and all our actions comply with the regulations." Bai Yu smiled slightly.

Since they can't take up students' spots, they can apply to get in themselves and then follow the students.

"Strictly speaking, that's true." Zhang Jin nodded. "However, the exploration progress of Lingnan Sand Bridge isn't that high, and the danger level hasn't dropped to F level yet, so the application can be rejected."

Bai Yu remained silent.

Zhang Jin was also having a headache. He could just let a few students go, since their strength was only so-so. As long as he sent someone to protect them, they would at most wander around the entrance area and maybe practice on a few lone monsters. Generally speaking, nothing serious would happen.

However, both of them are genuine mid-level mages, and it is believed that their strength is among the best of the mid-level mages.

If they occupy the ten-person quota and enter with the students, they will have to stay close to the students and will not be allowed to explore on their own.

However, if they go through the proper procedures to apply for entry into the Lingnan Sand Bridge, once their application is approved, it means they can freely explore the interior of the Lingnan Sand Bridge.

If something goes wrong, the responsibility will be far greater than if these students are injured or killed.

Zhang Jin didn't distrust the two men, but the danger level of Lingnan Shaqiao was still at level D. Although most of the area had been explored, it might be reduced to level E or F in two or three years.

However, as long as it is not downgraded, Lingnan Shaqiao will have to be considered as a D-level school.

Shen Yuan knew what Zhang Jin was worried about, so he assured him, "Don't worry, Commander Zhang, the reason Teacher Bai and I did this is simply to try and get two more spots for the students. After we enter Lingnan Shaqiao, we will only stay near the students to protect them and will not wander off or wander around."

"That's right, and we'll definitely come out with the students when they come out," Bai Yu added.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Jin finally agreed to the two people's application.
