Blazing Academy's trial to Mt. Almans finally began. The ten classes were divided into five groups, entering the mountain simultaneously from different directions. Before starting, Xuanyuan Xin once again emphasized the issue of safety, and especially told Ji Dong that if anything happened, he would take full responsibility. At the same time, he also secretly communicated with his wife Tang Yilian. If necessary, he could give up on Ji Dong.
Ji Dong didn't care at all about what Xuanyuan Xin and Tang Yilian said. He also wouldn't take any action because of Xuanyuan Xin's hostility. A Devil Master at Xuanyuan Xin's level basically didn't have the qualifications to become his enemy. Ji Dong's main goal in leading a class into the mountain was to use actual combat to test the effect of his Five Elements Symbiosis, Five Elements as One. If he succeeded, then he could promote it on a large scale on the continent. Five years later, after the Red Lotus Heavenly Fire was dispelled, they would have a higher chance of winning the holy war against the Darkness Continent.
After time and Yin Zhaorong's reminder, his state of mind gradually recovered. Even though he was still grieving, but after burying it deep in his heart, Ji Dong was no longer deathly still, but ice-cold.
"Teacher Ji Dong, do you have any plans for the trial this time?" Tang Yilian stood at Ji Dong's side. After all, they were in charge of this group, and everyone was leading their own class. Even though they didn't have a good impression of Ji Dong, he was still a teacher after all. They still had to communicate with him before the trial started.
Ji Dong glanced at Tang Yilian, and said indifferently: "Directly enter the mountain, straight up."
Tang Yilian was startled for a moment, then said: "That's not appropriate. I think we should start from the foot of the mountain, let the students gradually adapt to the strength of low-level magical beasts, and gradually increase their ability to display it. Then gradually approach the area with stronger magical beasts. The trial should also emphasize gradual progress."
At this moment, the two of them, as well as the twenty students, had officially stepped into the boundaries of Mt. Almans. The students were clearly a little nervous, looking around from time to time. Most of them did not have much combat experience, and it was their first time facing a Magical Beast. It was impossible for them to not be nervous.
Ji Dong glanced at Tang Yilian and didn't say anything else. Tang Yilian thought that Ji Dong had acknowledged her words. At this moment, suddenly, Ji Dong's eyes moved slightly. Not far away, a red figure suddenly jumped out and pounced in the direction of everyone.
Tang Yilian subconsciously turned her body to the side and stood together with her students. The speed of that red figure wasn't very fast. It was a fire cat that was about two feet long. Its four hooves stepped on fire and its claws popped out. It went straight for a student. Although its body wasn't big, it looked very fierce.
Even though the students hadn't really fought with Magical Beasts, to be able to enter Blazing Academy, they still had a certain amount of combat experience. The students of Class Three led by Tang Yilian immediately moved at the same time. In a moment, all kinds of colored magic skills bombarded out. Ten rays of light of different strengths instantly engulfed the fire cat.
Magic power filled the air and the fire cat let out a miserable shriek. It was only the lowest first rank Magical Beast. How could it withstand the sudden attack of ten Second and Third Crown Magicians? It had already turned into a corpse when it landed. Unfortunately, such a low level Magical Beast didn't produce any cores.
Tang Yilian was still very satisfied with her students' reactions. Her teaching mainly started from reaction speed. In this month, she had spent most of her time practicing these students' reaction speed.
"Reaction speed is still okay, keep it up." Tang Yilian encouraged her students.
The students of Class Three were clearly a little proud. Looking at the students of Class One, their gazes carried a bit of provocation. After all, they were two classes, and the thought of competing with each other was inevitable.
What Tang Yilian found a bit strange was that none of the students of Class One had any reaction, so much so that they didn't even prepare to defend. Normally, the ten students of Class One were the most outstanding of this year's freshmen, how could they be so slow?
Zi Chenxing swept a somewhat disdainful glance over the students of Class Three. He seemed to be talking to himself, but his voice was a bit loud: "The students of Class Three are really amazing, killing a first rank Magical Beast and getting ten magic skills in one go. Really a big hand."
The students of Class One didn't move not because they were slow, but because they hadn't received Ji Dong's orders. Before entering the mountain, Ji Dong only had one request for them — — Strict obedience. Without his orders, they couldn't make a move, and they had to be vigilant at all times.
The students of the two classes each maintained a different formation. On the side of Class Three, they were all male and female. Two Magicians of the same attribute walked together, with the intention of complementing each other. On the side of Ji Dong's Class One, they were divided into two groups. The five boys and the five girls formed a faint circle. Although Ji Dong was walking in front, he was right in the middle of the two groups. It looked like the students of Class Three were moving in a neat formation, while the students of Class One seemed a bit messy. Tang Yilian naturally felt that Ji Dong was misleading the students even more.
"Zi Chenxing, what did you say?" A well-built male student of Class Three took a step forward and shouted angrily.
Zi Chenxing curled his lips in disdain and said, "Do I need to repeat myself?"
Tang Yilian rebuked, "Enough. You are now companions, and can encounter magical beasts at any time. I didn't ask you to come to Mt. Ahmansi to bicker."
Zi Chenxing snorted and didn't say anything else. Although he was still full of enmity towards Ji Dong, the Five Elements Symbiotic Combination Skill made it hard for him to not feel some admiration towards this teacher. He was even more disinclined to pay attention to Tang Yilian.
Ji Dong didn't make a sound from beginning to end, and continued to advance.
Mt. Ahmansi was worthy of being one of the places where magical beasts gathered. Even when they had just entered the range of Mt. Ahmansi, all kinds of low level magical beasts had already begun to appear in an endless stream.
Ji Dong didn't give the order to attack the entire time. Under the deliberate display of the students of Class Three, the first and second rank magical beasts continuously died, and finally obtained a few crystal cores. For a moment, they couldn't help but feel even more pleased.
"Teacher Ji Dong, do you want us to attack as well? We can't let those fellows from Class Three continue to be complacent." Hou Xin moved to Ji Dong's side and said somewhat urgently.
Ji Dong coldly glanced at him, and Hou Xin only felt his heart suddenly contract. He awkwardly retreated, not daring to say anything more.
At this time, everyone had already climbed up about two hundred meters. Tang Yilian stopped, and Hyōhime said, "Teacher Ji Dong, let's start moving horizontally. If we go any higher, there will be even higher level magical beasts." There was a bit of pride in her voice. The magical beasts they had encountered earlier were almost all dealt with by the students of Class Three. In her opinion, it was because the students of Class One didn't have enough reaction time and didn't have the chance to attack at all. And at this time, the students of Class Three had used up quite a bit of their magical power. She planned to let the students rest for a while, recover some magical power, and continue to kill these low level magical beasts in the vicinity to gain experience.
Ji Dong said indifferently, "I think the students of Class Three can deal with this. I will take my students up a bit, so they can also gain some combat experience.
Tang Yilian's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain. She thought to herself, "You can't compete with my students, so you want to hunt higher level magical beasts? Do you think third rank magical beasts are easy to deal with?" However, she didn't object. At the very least, third rank magical beasts shouldn't be dangerous. She had a slight understanding of Princess Xuan's strength, so she said, "It's good that we split up for now. But, Teacher Ji Dong, please pay attention to the safety of the students. If anything goes wrong, remember to use the signal stick, and we will immediately rush over. Let's meet up in the vicinity later."
Ji Dong responded indifferently. With a slight wave of his hand, he continued to lead his students up the mountain.
Let alone first and second rank magical beasts, even third and fourth rank magical beasts weren't within the scope of the students he was leading this time. When he taught his students, he would always start from his own experience. In the process of Ji Dong's cultivation, every time he encountered the most difficult moments, when he faced enormous pressure, his strength would make a qualitative leap. What he needed to do now was to bring some of this level of pressure to these students.
Watching Ji Dong and the students leave, Tang Yilian gave the order to rest. She inwardly snorted, wanting to see how many fruits of victory this drunkard could bring back. Although she and Ji Dong had the obligation to supervise each other, she wasn't afraid that Ji Dong would cheat. Because she had already planned with Xuanyuan Xin that no matter what the results of this time's class one were, they would give this drunkard the title of cheater when they returned and make him leave Blazing Academy as soon as possible, so as to avoid misleading the students.
"Chen Sixuan." Ji Dong called as he led the students up.
"Teacher Ji Dong, what's the matter?" Ji Dong rarely called her name, so Chen Sixuan couldn't help being a bit surprised.
Ji Dong indifferently said: "All the magical beasts we encounter on the way up the mountain will be handled by you alone, until I say stop."
"Alright." The other students might still insist on Ji Dong being clean, but how could Chen Sixuan not support him? She immediately agreed. Let alone the fact that she had the strength to win six championships, just the rich experience from her time in the Flaming Bar was enough for her to deal with all kinds of situations.
As the saying goes, no matter how much you change, you can't stray from your roots. Changing from the fire attribute to the second wood attribute didn't have too big of an effect on her application of magical power, only weakening her cultivation.
"Teacher Ji Dong, why don't you let us make a move?" Zi Chenxing finally couldn't bear it anymore. He'd already held it in for a long time, and like the other students of Class One, his hands had long since been itching. But Ji Dong didn't let them make a move. Seeing Class Three's students' arrogant appearances, they all felt stifled.
Ji Dong said coldly: "Because I don't want to waste time here. If you want to make a move, you'll have a chance later. Starting now, speed up." While speaking, he was the first to speed up. And at this time, Chen Sixuan also released her Yin Yang Crown. With Ji Dong's instructions, she didn't have any intention of hiding her strength.
Up until now, in the eyes of all the new students, and even in the eyes of the vast majority of Blazing Academy's teachers and students, Chen Sixuan was the Eastern Wood Holy Maiden. Her appearance really was too unparalleled, to the extent that no one truly cared about her strength, and even more subconsciously overlooked her reputation as a genius Devil Master.
Right now, when Zi Chenxing and the others saw the second wood attribute Yin Yang Crown on Chen Sixuan's head, they couldn't help but stare dumbstruck. This was the strength of Blazing Academy's department head! Moreover, how old was she? She wasn't even twenty yet. Reaching this level at this age, it was perhaps the only one on the Continent. They even suspected that Ji Dong wasn't Chen Sixuan's match.
If it was said that Zi Chenxing still had some improper thoughts about Chen Sixuan before, then right now his heart was like dead ashes. The gap between him and Chen Sixuan really was too great. If it was said that he had been conceited about being a genius before, then only now did he understand what a true genius was. Princess Xuan was absolutely deserving of her position as class monitor, but just her strength alone was enough to match all the new students.
As if seeing the shock and doubt in the students' hearts, Chen Sixuan smiled faintly, saying in a low voice: "Everyone, no need to be surprised, just keep up with teacher Ji Dong's steps. Hyōhime, learn from teacher, there will be a day when you can also reach this level, even surpass me. Teacher Ji Dong is much more powerful than me." While speaking, she had already fallen to the back of the group, taking up the task of bringing up the rear.
There were indeed quite a few magical beasts on Mt. Ahmans, but in front of Chen Sixuan's strength, they were completely useless. What made the other students confused was that along the way, Chen Sixuan had not killed a single magical beast. She had only made them lose the ability to attack and then stopped attacking. Ji Dong did not say anything, and the students of class 1 did not ask any questions. Right now, they only had a very strange feeling in their hearts. This feeling came from both Ji Dong and Chen Sixuan.
With Chen Sixuan's protection, the group of eleven did not slow down at all. Even Class 5 Magical Beasts were completely useless against Chen Sixuan, who was able to fight against Class 7 Magical Beasts. Not to mention that other than the fact that Mt. Ahmans was suitable for fire attributed magic masters to fight, it was also suitable for wood attributed magic masters to fight. There were no obstructions along the way, and after an hour, they had already arrived at a place roughly a kilometer above the sea level.
"Teacher Ji Dong, if we go any higher, we'll exceed the range of our trial," Jin Sha could not help but say. She was a girl, so it was normal for her to be timid. She could clearly see that Ji Dong had no intentions of stopping at all, and the other students naturally had the same feeling.
Ji Dong stopped and closed his eyes for a while. Slowly nodding his head, he said, "If we go up another 500 meters, we'll reach an area where Class 6 Magical Beasts are more concentrated."
Jin Sha said in shock, "But, doesn't that exceed the range of our trial?"
Ji Dong said coldly, "That is the range of the trial set down by the academy, not the range of our class 1 trial. I'll say it again, as students of class 1, you must listen to my orders. Since no one has chosen to back out before, then even if you want to back out now, it's already too late. Unless you back out is a corpse."
