Principal Sun turned his head around and looked at Meng Chao with praise in his eyes.
Then, he strode forward and charged into a pack of wolves like a hungry tiger pouncing on sheep.
The skill that made Principal Sun famous in the Red Dragon Army in the past was known as Demon Subduing Pole.
He guided rampaging spirit energy into his arms and had it circulate at high speed in the spirit meridians in his arms to form spirit magnetic field rotation energy and spirit energy magnetic field. Not only did it turn his arms as tough as steel, it also allowed him to deliver monstrous punches that reduced everything within a circular area of dozens of meters to powder.
At that moment, layers of profound and complicated spirit tattoos appeared on his arms, and they looked like the pillars in Mahavira Hall. All the Demonic Bloody Moon Wolves that were enveloped by his fists felt as if they had been sucked into a meat grinder. Their bones were broken, their brains burst, and their eyeballs popped out.
Some of the more unlucky bastards had their spines destroyed by Headmaster Sun. They did not die immediately, but they lay limply on the ground and spat out pink foam. Their eyes, which were originally filled with ferocity, were now filled with fear and despair.
The strongest Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf below the wolf king opened its mouth wide and went to bite Principal Sun's right arm.
Principal Sun stabbed his right arm, which was like a demon subduing pole, into the creature's throat. He pierced through its throat and diaphragm, then crushed its heart!
"Ha!"
Principal Sun glared at it, and he roared like a Buddha subduing a demon. Spirit flames surged out of his palm and burned the creature's organs to a crisp.
Then, another Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf snuck over from behind him and bit his calf.
Principal Sun didn't even frown. His large hand grabbed the beast's neck and forcefully threw it to the ground. First, it made the beast feel dizzy. Then, he clamped it under his armpit. With a "kacha" sound, the beast's head hung down crookedly. It had actually been clamped to death by Principal Sun!
This scene of madness made Meng Chao and the examinees' blood boil.
The wolves' howls trembled in the fog.
These ferocious beasts that were not afraid of death were scared witless by the humans who were even more fearless of death.
The wolf king finally retreated.
It led the remaining wolves and disappeared without a sound, as if it was a nightmare that disappeared without a trace.
The survivors cheered and cried in joy.
"Students, I'm very sorry that I didn't detect this spatial turbulence in advance, causing everyone to encounter an accident."
Principal Sun wiped off the blood on his face. His arms remained swollen and burning, but his face returned to its usual gentleness. He smiled and said, "But all of you did very well. You showed the courage and momentum that Dragon City teenagers should have. Your teachers and alma mater will be proud of you.
"Don't worry, I've already contacted the rescue team and sent out the coordinates. They'll find this place in ten to twenty minutes at most. We'll definitely be saved."
"Great!"
"We're saved!"
"Victory!"
The students who had survived the disaster hugged each other.
"Take this opportunity to rest well. Force yourself to eat wolf meat and drink wolf blood. Then sit in a stance to regulate your breathing and recover your strength!"
Headmaster Sun's eyes shone brightly, and he said in an irrefutable tone, "Even if there's only one minute left, you must hold your post. Don't give the wolves a chance to take advantage of us. I will protect everyone until the very end!"
As he spoke, Principal Sun strode in the direction where the pack of wolves had fled.
Burning spirit flames surrounded him, and he was like a burning torch that illuminated the night and chased away the fear in the examinees' hearts.
With such a powerful fighter as their guardian, everyone felt at ease. They quickly sat down and circulated their qi to treat their injuries.
Meng Chao watched the old principal sway slightly and the spirit flames that were changing nonstop until they gradually lost control. His eyelids twitched.
'Principal Sun is injured?
He saw how badly injured the Bloody Moon Wolf King was and how there was a dagger in its neck. It must have been Principal Sun.
Principal Sun was the one who fought against the wolf king while surrounded by wolves, which was why he bought time for them to gather together and set up their defenses.
Principal Sun had also paid a devastating price when he fought against the wolf king alone. Meng Chao wondered just how badly he was injured.
"Principal Sun!"
Meng Chao quickly went forward to support the old principal.
But he noticed that his skin was burning like a burning metal plate. His breathing was heavy, and pink bubbles came out of his nostrils and mouth. He could not help but gasp.
"Shh …"
Principal Sun mouthed a signal for him to remain silent, and both of them took a few steps into the forest.
"This is …"
Meng Chao's eyes were sharp. He saw that there was a large patch of blood under Principal Sun's chest. Even though he used gel and bandages to cover it, red blood still gushed out.
This was a fatal wound.
And Principal Sun had fought against the wolf king and suppressed the wolf pack with this fatal wound. He was the examinees' guardian!
Meng Chao felt complicated.
In his previous life, Principal Sun should not have joined the practical test for the national college examination.
Based on Meng Chao's memories, he had been heavily injured by the mutated Demonic Air Ripping Eye during the fog three days ago, and he had been lying in the hospital for a long time.
This was why Meng Chao had reminded Principal Sun three days ago. He had managed to turn the old man's heavy injuries into light injuries.
Meng Chao did not expect that this heroic citizen would uphold the glorious tradition of not leaving the frontlines even if he was lightly injured. Before he could recover, he came to invigilate the test. When the fog descended, he even took the initiative to jump into the space-time rift.
Meng Chao had seen clearly that Principal Sun was not within the area affected by the space-time vortex. He could have stayed out of it.
But he had first extended his hand to grab the examinee who had fallen into the fog, and when he realized that he would not be able to make it in time, he decided to take the initiative to jump in and be sent to the wild.
He had taken the initiative to send Meng Chao to the Bloody Moon Wolf King to fulfill his duty as an invigilator!
'I'm the one who harmed Principal Sun.'
A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in Meng Chao's mind. 'If I hadn't stirred up the butterfly effect, Principal Sun would definitely not have appeared here. If he's risking his life like this, there's a high possibility that … he'll die!'
Meng Chao was shocked and quickly said, "Principal Sun, why are you activating your spirit energy? Hurry up and sit down. I have a first aid kit here!"
If he used supernatural abilities, he had to pay an extraordinary price.
If he used spirit energy to attack the limits of his cells, he had to continuously burn his own life.
The years of fighting against monsters had destroyed Principal Sun's organs, tendons, and bones. The infamous Heavy Cannon in the past was now a spent force, or else, he would not have retired as the principal of Ninth High School.
Now, every time this Heavy Cannon fired, the recoil would deal a shocking amount of damage to his body.
The repeated fights had forced Principal Sun to the brink of death, but he still had to forcefully activate his spirit energy so that the rampaging power in his blood would surge and boil. He had to turn his arms, which were like sticks of wood, into two demon subduing poles that could support the heavens and earth. This was practically suicide!
"I'm sorry, Meng Chao. I can't kill anymore, but I can't sit down, and I can't withdraw my spirit energy either."
Principal Sun smiled calmly. "That creature is smart. It won't run far. It must be watching us coldly in the dark. If it notices that I'm just putting up a strong front, it will pounce on me without hesitation, and that will be bad.
"I have to persevere and release all my spirit flames to scare it … until the reinforcements find us."
"You'll die!"
Meng Chao said anxiously. "With your current condition, you should stay in a medical cabin and rest. You shouldn't even move your pinky. If you continue to use spirit magnetic field rotation energy like this, you'll burn your own life at the same time you burn your spirit flames. You'll definitely die!"
"Meng Chao, we'll all die," Principal Sun said faintly.
Principal Sun said faintly. "Regardless of whether I'm a member of the Red Dragon Army, the principal of Ninth High School, an invigilator, a normal Dragon Citizen, or an Earthling, I've never thought about living forever."
"I know that you're not afraid of death, but you're different!"
Meng Chao's mind was a mess, and he spoke without thinking. "You're a hero! You can't die in vain!"
"Me? A hero?"
Principal Sun could not help but laugh. "I'm not a hero. A real hero wouldn't let so many children be eaten by monsters, and they wouldn't — Ahem, they wouldn't tire themselves out like dogs just because they killed a few Demonic Bloody Moon Wolves."
The blood he coughed up was black.
It was the sign of wolf poison invading his body and corroding his organs.
Meng Chao shook his head vigorously. "To me and all the students in Ninth High School, you're the greatest hero in the world. You want to lead Ninth High School to rise to power and get rid of First High School, Second High School, and Construction High School!"
Principal Sun stared at him for a while. "Alright, then I'll reluctantly be a hero for once!"
As he spoke, the spirit flames on the old man's arms shone even brighter. Spirit tattoos shot out of his body and turned the Demon Subduing Pole into two lighthouses.
The darkness stirred restlessly like a tidal wave.
The two shining lighthouses stood at the center of the darkness and could not be shaken.
"Since I'm a hero, there's no reason for me to back down!" Principal Sun's gaze was as sharp as lightning, and he spoke resolutely.
Meng Chao found himself speechless. He was stunned for a long time before he pleaded, "The reinforcements will arrive in a few minutes. The wolf king needs to catch its breath. The wolf pack won't come back so soon!"
Principal Sun's eyes sparkled.
Meng Chao was a little stunned, but he instantly understood. "You haven't contacted the reinforcements yet. Were you comforting them just now?"
"Shh, the reinforcements won't be far away. Even if they can't find this place in around twenty minutes, they'll definitely find us in half an hour or at most an hour," Principal Sun said.
"And my mission is to do everything I can to intimidate these monsters before the reinforcements arrive so that they won't dare to get close to us.
"Meng Chao, instead of wasting your time on an old man like me, you should try to eat more monster meat to recover your stamina and fighting strength. If … If I die and the reinforcements don't arrive, you might have to rely on yourselves to fight for a while. That's the only way you'll have hope of surviving!"
The old principal coughed up another mouthful of black blood.
His blood was like fuel that caused the flames around him to become one hundred times brighter.
When the old principal saw the student's slightly puzzled gaze, he smiled and placed a hand on the student's shoulder. "I'm really not a hero. I'm just a normal human. To humans, there are also people who will risk everything even if they know that they're going to die. Even if their bodies are crushed, they will still do something, right?"
