Full-Time Magister: Crimson Lion, the Strongest Divine Soul!

Chapter 35: The Military Mage Attacks, Blazing Crimson Flames Descend! [Please Read On]

"I've had Crimson Lion keep an eye on the next group. Nightwing, all you need to do now is protect me."

After speaking, Li Xuan slowly adjusted his posture and sat down cross-legged steadily.

Nightwing understood immediately, and dark red energy slowly spread out, forming a solid barrier that protected Li Xuan.

Lu Nian has not yet appeared, so Li Xuan still has the time to study the Soul God Power of the Destroyer Crocodile and the Armed Heavenly Dragon.

Having learned that the Crimson Flame Lion's soul power is fire-based, Li Xuan also roughly understood the power represented by the soul power and how to cultivate it.

It possesses the Light element in the realm of sluggishness and the immense life force in the Healing element.

These two forces will surely be of great use later on, and we cannot slack off on them.

…………

Meanwhile, during the time Li Xuan was cultivating, the team had already surveyed several nodes.

Although they were ambushed by the fake demon in the downtown building, they managed to escape with the help of Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao, and Mo Fan's exceptional strength.

They passed through it safely.

The main reason was that Li Xuan's assistance was too great. Mu Ningxue lost the Mu family's hypocritical investment and instead received help from Pang Lai.

Mu Nujiao and Mo Fan, on the other hand, were simply well-trained by Li Xuan.

As for the giant lizard pseudo-dragon, it was silently killed by the Crimson Flame Lion.

Then we arrived at the church in the original timeline.

The expected team fight was immediately noticed by Jiang Yu's kitten, and then the Crimson Flame Lion personally took action, destroying the Bewitching Demon Spider with a single claw.

Although both crises were averted, the successive life-or-death tests still made some people in the team consider giving up.

After all, this is completely different from the stable training at school. Every battle is a matter of life and death, a true life-or-death struggle.

Shen Mingxiao and Luo Song were already terrified and no longer dared to shout at Mo Fan and the others as they had before.

They witnessed firsthand the cruelty of the path of a magician.

Lu Zhenghe, however, remained obstinate and insisted on continuing forward.

Judging from his confident expression and firm attitude, he clearly had something to rely on.

In the end, the minority yielded to the majority, and Luo Song, Shen Mingxiao, and the others also dared not leave alone.

So they continued to complete the mission.

…………

Before long, all the planned exploration sites had been surveyed.

"Mission accomplished, we should go." Mu Ningxue's cool voice rang out.

After saying that, he turned and left.

Others naturally had no objection to this.

After all, everyone knows that this desolate Jinlin City is not a place to stay for long.

The return journey seemed peaceful, but it was quite different from the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere on the way there.

Having gone through this ordeal, no one dared to slack off in the slightest, and everyone remained extremely vigilant at all times.

"Wait a minute... who are those people?"

Mu Ningxue paused, her expression changed drastically, her bright eyes fixed on the front, and she quickly spoke up to warn them.

Upon hearing the sound, everyone instinctively followed her gaze.

Not far ahead, a group of people were walking steadily toward them.

The group consisted of about a dozen people, all dressed in military uniforms, and marched in perfect unison.

Leading the group was a man with a pipe in his mouth.

"It's probably the military coming to pick us up?"

Liao Mingxuan forced himself to remain calm and spoke to ease the suddenly tense atmosphere.

"Finally, I can go back safely."

Upon hearing this, the others also breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing expressions of relief.

"But..." Bai Tingting, who was very thoughtful, frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"Did you notice? They've all taken off their badges of honor."

These words were spoken.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and their relaxed expressions instantly froze.

"Have you all forgotten?" someone exclaimed, raising their voice as if waking from a dream, "This training exercise didn't include any rendezvous or support arrangements!"

"Yes, Instructor Li Xuan emphasized that we had to complete it independently!" another person chimed in.

Upon hearing these words, the smiles on Liao Mingxuan and the others' faces instantly froze.

A strong sense of unease welled up in their hearts. They looked at each other, wondering what this group of people with unclear intentions wanted to do.

"Big brother, you've finally arrived!"

Lu Zhenghe didn't care what others thought. He walked straight towards Lu Nian, ready to begin the reckoning!

"Little Jiang Yu, shall we make our move?" asked the Crimson Lion perched on Jiang Yu's shoulder.

Based on his years of experience traversing the Divine Soul Continent, he was certain that the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him was no good.

"No rush, Senior Brother is already here!" Jiang Yu whispered to the Crimson Flame Lion.

"..."

When the others saw Lu Zhenghe lead the way to meet the group of military mages without hesitation, their doubts vanished instantly.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

In their view, Lu Zhenghe seemed to have some connection with this group of military mages. Since he was one of their family members, he probably wouldn't be in any danger.

After all, what kind of trouble could a mere Military Intelligence Bureau possibly cause?

However, Mu Ningxue, Mo Fan, Mu Nujiao and others remained highly vigilant and suspicious.

Why did Lu Zhenghe's older brother suddenly appear here?

It should be noted that this was a training mission organized by the academy, so his appearance seemed extremely abrupt.

It just doesn't look normal at all.

In their minds, with Li Xuan in charge, these so-called military mages were practically dispensable.

Therefore, there is definitely something wrong with this matter.

As expected, things unfolded exactly as they had feared.

Just as Shen Mingxiao and Luo Song were walking towards the group of military mages without any warning, the group from the Imperial Capital Academy walked towards them.

That man with thick eyebrows and big eyes issued a kill order without any warning!

"Brother, they're my classmates."

Lu Zhenghe was also stunned; this wasn't how his plan was supposed to unfold!

The others who followed Lu Zhenghe also had expressions of shock and fear on their faces.

"That's why I had to silence them. I don't want this to get out!" Lu Nian said coldly, then asked, "What about Li Xuan?!"

"I don't know, he left early this morning," Lu Zhenghe said tremblingly.

While Lu Nian was questioning him, his military mages attacked him directly.

*Pfft pfft pfft!*

Liao Mingxuan, Shen Mingxiao, Luo Song, and the others looked at Lu Zhenghe and Lu Nian with resentment and hatred, and then collapsed.

Several ice locks and lightning bolts had already landed on them without them even realizing it.

The gap was too large, and the distance was so close, they didn't even have a chance to fight back.

The Crimson Lion, who was able to react, simply watched these people with indifference.

"Damn it!" Mo Fan and the others watched this scene with uncontrollable rage.

They were far enough away from Lu Nian's people that they had enough time to react.

Therefore, a magical defense was established immediately.

"Are you going to surrender now, or wait for me to take action myself?" Lu Nian squinted at Mo Fan and the others.

In reality, magic was already being secretly accumulated.

"You resort to sneak attacks against students? You're truly despicable, Lu Nian!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a huge black shadow swept down from the sky.

Wherever the dark figure passed, the air seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, emitting a buzzing sound.

An overwhelming pressure, like a tidal wave, instantly enveloped the group of military mages, causing them to catch their breath and almost lose their footing.

Immediately afterwards, streaks of blazing red flames shot out from above the dark figure.

The flames brought rolling heat waves, scorching the ground and turning the soil into scorched earth wherever they went.

The flames hurtled towards Lu Nian, whose expression changed drastically. Without thinking, he hastily retreated.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, flames exploded in front of Lu Nian, forming a raging wall of fire that separated him from the others.

P.S.: Dear readers, if you have any opinions or suggestions for improvement, please feel free to share them. I'm also a newbie author and will humbly accept and revise accordingly.

I'd like to recommend a book to everyone, *The Great Scientist*. My contemporary, he didn't join any factions; he just charged ahead on his own!
