Amidst the clamor outside the plaza, Han Shuo's body leapt through the wall that the zombie warriors had created earlier and landed on the flat ground behind it. A few steps behind Han Shuo was the trap that the skeletal warriors had dug. There were a few tree branches blocking the mouth of the trap, and the ghouls had covered the outside with mud. It looked very normal.
The dark creatures that had completed their mission dispersed under Han Shuo's command, hiding behind the surrounding trees and fake mountains. Then, Han Shuo stood behind the earthen wall and once again released bone spears and bone arrows to attack the three light major students that were quickly approaching.
"Hmph, you're asking for trouble if you want to fight openly." Keelung approached and two Radiant Sword Slashes flew out from the front, destroying the attacks that Han Shuo had shot at him. Then, together with the other two students, they quickly closed in on Han Shuo.
The other two students, who were about to reach Han Shuo, also chanted magical incantations and blasted down the earthen wall that Han Shuo had just piled up. One of them had just stepped in when Han Shuo saw him step on the rope and abruptly gave an order to the zombie he was controlling.
The zombie warrior standing in the distance suddenly tightened its grip on the rope, and the loose rope abruptly tightened under the light major student's foot. It suddenly wrapped around the student's ankle and sent him flying.
"Damn it!" Keelung shouted angrily. Just as he was about to make a move to save the light major student, Han Shuo, who had retreated from his original spot, began to release bone spear attacks at him from another direction, forcing him to temporarily retreat.
However, the other student quickly released a Radiant Sword Slash and cut through the rope, causing the student to fall from the sky and cry out loudly in pain.
A large rock that had been entangled by the rope suddenly rolled down from the fake mountain on the left, crashing towards Keelung and the others. Keelung and the other two were shocked and simultaneously released magic to defend against the falling rock. Then, they hurriedly closed in on the direction of the trap.
Light magic did have a miraculous restraining effect on dark creatures. However, from beginning to end, the dark creatures that Han Shuo had summoned hadn't faced them head-on. Instead, they'd used other items to attack the three light major students. This made it so that the restraining effect of the light major on the dark creatures couldn't be fully utilized.
Finally, the four dark major students chasing from behind also caught up to this place. When they saw that the three from the light major were hurriedly dealing with the attacks of the traps, they immediately joined the fray excitedly. They arrived not far in front of them and started chanting dark magic, planning to add insult to injury and lend Han Shuo a helping hand.
Suddenly, a magic incantation came out of Keelung's mouth, and a blinding light suddenly shot out from the dark sky. This light was so bright that everyone's eyes were temporarily blinded for a moment. Even the other two light major students, who were caught off guard, couldn't see their surroundings with their eyes open.
Keelung, who had closed his eyes earlier, calculated the time for the Strong Light Spell to run out and suddenly opened them, intending to give everyone who was temporarily blinded a devastating blow that could turn the tide of the battle.
Unfortunately, when he opened his eyes and didn't even have time to chant the spell, he saw a dozen skeletal warriors and zombie warriors surround him. Pushed by the two zombies, his body retreated uncomfortably, and then he fell into the trap.
The other light and dark major students who were temporarily blinded stood there anxiously. Then, dark creatures approached them one by one, lifted or pushed them, and threw all of them into the trap. Not a single one was spared.
The Strong Light Spell did indeed have a great stimulating effect on the eyes of ordinary people. Han Shuo had also been hit by it, but Han Shuo's body was different from ordinary people's, and his eyes recovered extremely quickly. The Strong Light Spell, which would normally take ten seconds to recover, had only blinded Han Shuo for two seconds.
Then, before the Strong Light Spell's power had completely faded and Keelung hadn't even opened his eyes, Han Shuo had already recovered. He commanded the dark creatures and forcefully turned the tides of the battle that could've had a great change, and decided the outcome of the match in one fell swoop.
It wasn't just the light major students, even the four from the dark major were all taken care of by Han Shuo and sent into the trap. The trap had been dug very deep and contained a few minor mages who didn't know the levitation spell. There were also dark creatures lifting large rocks above them, ready to roll down at any moment. This was the end of the match.
Deo, who'd just seen Han Shuo's abnormally eye-catching performance, had originally warmed up and become excited. But when he saw that Han Shuo hadn't even let the dark major students go and had thrown them into the trap, he snorted coldly and tensed up his face again. He said to Fanny beside him, "Your student has no team spirit at all, what good things have you done!"
"I saw that your four students had no morale from start to finish, and didn't have any use at all. Brian must've thought they were useless, that's why he gave them a reminder. It was just a joke, it's no big deal. "Fanny was in high spirits as she laughed merrily, giving tit for tat to Deo.
On the other side, the light major archmage Voigtlander stood up with a gloomy and dejected face. He waved his sleeves and said a few words to Emma before leaving the plaza, leaving only Master Beacher to preside over the rest of the matters.
Logically speaking, since the necromancy major was part of the dark major and Han Shuo had replaced Phillide in the match, it should've been the dark major's victory this time.
It was a pity that Han Shuo's actions were obviously a slap to Deo's face. This didn't make Deo feel the slightest bit happy. When he saw Voigtlander leave, Deo casually gave instructions to the teacher behind him and also bid farewell to Dean Emma, leaving with a dejected face.
The necromancy major students exploded into enthusiastic cheers. This moment was the most exalted moment for the necromancy major in many years. The necromancy major had always been suppressed and ridiculed, but because of Han Shuo's sudden appearance, not only had he redeemed Fanny's face, but he had also won glory for all the necromancy students.
When the magical boundary opened and Han Shuo walked out, he immediately saw the fiery joy in Fanny's eyes and heard the cheers of the other necromancy major students.
"Eh … although the situation is a bit odd, I still have to announce that the dark major is the winner of this time's match. The five students who participated in the match will receive five space rings that I personally refined. In addition, each of you will receive a magic staff. I hope that you will continue to work hard. "When Han Shuo walked out, Emma's voice sounded leisurely and spread throughout the plaza.
Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Han Shuo was the first to walk to Emma's side and receive the prize for this time's match from her hands. On the other side, the dark major and the others had climbed out of the trap with great difficulty with the help of others. Just as they were about to settle the score with Han Shuo, a smile once again appeared on their faces when they heard Emma's announcement, and they eagerly walked towards Emma.
When he received the space ring, Han Shuo inspected it with his mental strength and was very satisfied. This space ring had been personally refined by space grand magus Emma, and its capacity was at least five times larger than the one that Han Shuo was currently wearing. The materials needed for such a large capacity space ring should be even rarer. It looked like only a space grand magus would be able to refine it.
Up until now, Han Shuo had never used a magic staff. When he received this magic staff and infused it with his mental strength, Han Shuo suddenly discovered that there was another small space within the magic staff that actually had the function of storing mental strength. After casually casting a spell, he discovered that after the magic circulated to the magic staff, the speed of the spell increased by a small margin.
It looked like this magic staff had the function of storing a small amount of mental strength and increasing the speed of casting spells. It was no wonder that every mage was willing to risk their lives to obtain a suitable magic staff. A wondrous magic staff indeed had the function of increasing a mage's strength more or less.
After receiving the space ring and magic staff, Han Shuo didn't linger in the plaza for too long. He smiled and nodded at Fanny from afar, then left by himself, leaving all the remaining matters for Fanny and the others to handle.
"Wait, Brian." Han Shuo's departure didn't escape the gazes of the many students in the plaza. However, the crowd only looked at him in amazement and whispered amongst themselves, but didn't make any moves. However, when Lisa saw Han Shuo leave, she called out loudly from afar and chased after Han Shuo.
After leaving the plaza and arriving in the direction of the necromancy training field, Lisa's face was inexplicably excited. She stared at Han Shuo and kept asking, "You were too strong today. You took care of all of them by yourself, as clean and efficient as the floating clouds and flowing water. How did you do it?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Han Shuo said nonchalantly, "It's not that I'm too strong, it's that they're too weak."
During his trip to the Dark Forest, the people Han Shuo had met were all true adept mages or adept swordsmen. He'd even met the swordmaster Trunks and archmage Emily.
The McGrady Guild's guards, including Duke and Erick, were all experts who'd experienced hundreds of battles and had astounding strength.
Having fought with these people, Han Shuo had experienced all sorts of situations. Now that he was facing off against these students who hadn't even reached the adept mage level and had even less battle experience, he naturally had the upper hand. It would be strange if he didn't win.
If Han Shuo had used the Little Skull, his own martial arts techniques, and the Demonslayer Edge, then he wouldn't even need to use any tricks or schemes. In that case, he wouldn't even need to use any tricks or schemes. He would be able to use brute force to completely destroy the five light major students, leaving them with no room to resist at all.
"When did you become so strong?" Lisa looked at Han Shuo in high spirits and asked curiously.
Grasping the magic staff in his hand, Han Shuo infused his mental strength and started practicing the Bone Prison spell that a journeyman necromancer should know. As he chanted the incantation, his mental strength poured into the magic staff and used the staff as a primer, attempting to activate the Bone Prison spell of necromancy magic.
The Bone Prison spell was a spell used to imprison the enemy. Once it was deployed, it would form a prison made purely of white bones and forcefully bind the enemy, rendering them unable to move.
Necromancy magic with enough mental strength could control every single bone in the Bone Prison. Not only could it trap someone, but it could also use the bones in the Bone Prison to rebind any part of the person's body, turning the white bones into soft but tough vines. It was quite miraculous.
The first time he'd used the Bone Prison spell, dozens of white bones had appeared in the air, but they couldn't truly form a Bone Prison. As Han Shuo relaxed his mind, the white bones couldn't flexibly assemble into a Bone Prison and fell to the ground with a loud crash.
"My strength is about the same as yours, so I can't say that I'm that strong. If you practice diligently, I think your accomplishments will be even greater. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to represent our major in next year's competition." Han Shuo continued to practice the Bone Prison Art as he responded carelessly to Lisa's words.
Lisa made a wry face at Han Shuo when she heard Han Shuo's words and then sighed lightly, "I'm too stupid. I've studied necromancy magic for so long, but I'm not as good as you who've studied it for a few months."
"No, there are so many necromancy major students, your strength is already quite good. Heh heh, I'm saying that if you work harder, you'll improve even faster. I think that the magic of our necromancy major isn't any worse than the other majors. It's just that there aren't many people practicing necromancy magic now, so there aren't many experts. "Han Shuo spoke carelessly with Lisa as he practiced the Bone Prison spell over and over again.
After a while, some other necromancy major students seemed to have recognized the power of necromancy magic for the first time because of Han Shuo's exploits today. They hadn't even eaten yet as they excitedly came to the training fields and started practicing magic over and over again.
Han Shuo actually stopped his magic practice when the other students appeared, avoiding the enthusiastic words of the students and walking out of the training fields. Han Shuo looked left and right when he left the training fields, and walked towards Fanny's lab when he saw that there was no one around.
When Han Shuo arrived at Fanny's lab, he discovered that the door was still locked. It looked like Fanny hadn't returned yet. Logically speaking, Fanny would usually be in the lab at this time. If she hadn't returned yet, it looked like she'd been delayed by the necromancy major's exploits today.
Not in a hurry, Han Shuo sat down on the grass behind Fanny's lab and took out the necromancy magic books he'd obtained from the cemetery of death to study. The three original demons patrolled in three different directions and weren't afraid that someone would suddenly approach. They slowly studied the Bone Prison spell that they were about to master.
After a while, the space in front of Han Shuo suddenly warped. A beam of light flashed and Dean Emma appeared in front of Han Shuo.
Startled, Han Shuo immediately put the necromancy magic books back into his space ring. He then put on a smile and said to Dean Emma, "Hello Dean, what are you doing here?"
Dean Emma looked up and down kindly at Han Shuo, her furrowed face brimming with an appreciative smile. She said, "You're a hardworking fellow alright, not letting go of even a moment's time. You're still studying magic books when you're waiting for Fanny. No wonder you've achieved so much in just a few short months."
Han Shuo felt a bit baffled when Emma spoke these words. He didn't know why Emma would appear here without a trace and say such strange things to him.
After thinking for a bit, Han Shuo frowned and looked at Emma, asking directly, "You didn't come here just to find me, did you?"
Nodding, Emma said straightforwardly, "Of course. Heh heh, I didn't suddenly appear here because my use of spatial magic failed."
"Then, what business do you have with me?" Han Shuo hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to ask again.
Emma smiled amiably at Han Shuo's question and said, "Actually, I'm grateful to you. If it wasn't for your discovery regarding Camilla's matter last time, I wouldn't have known that she was a member of the Kasi Empire's Dark Underworld organization."
Han Shuo was shocked when he heard these words. Han Shuo hadn't told anyone else apart from Candide about this matter. Now that Emma suddenly said these words, Han Shuo was truly shocked. Thinking quickly in his mind, Han Shuo stared at Emma and asked, "Did Lord Candide tell you?"
Nodding, Emma smiled, "Clever young fellow, my old man says that you're a talent. Fanny mentioned this to me last time as well. After today's match, I've discovered that you're indeed a bit mysterious. However, I won't ask you why. I've come here today just to persuade you of one thing."
With a face full of astonishment, Han Shuo never would've thought that Emma and Candide of the Dark Mantle would be husband and wife. No wonder Emma had looked at him so strangely before the match.
"What do you want to tell me?" After a moment of daze, Han Shuo looked at Emma and said.
"I can see from your gaze that you have a very good impression of Fanny, but I hope that before your strength is strong enough, you won't have any emotional entanglements with Fanny. Because if you're still a student who hasn't graduated, it won't be a good thing for both you and Fanny when your relationship really crosses that bottom line. Especially for Fanny, it might attract some unnecessary trouble. "Emma looked at Han Shuo and sincerely advised.
She paused and opened her mouth again, "I'm saying this for your and Fanny's own good. I hope you can listen to my advice. When you graduate from the necromancy major and your strength surpasses Fanny's, I can still help you if you and Fanny run into trouble in your relationship at that time. Oh, now that Fanny is here, I'll be leaving first. "
Emma's figure once again disappeared into thin air after she finished speaking. When Emma had just disappeared, Han Shuo also sensed Fanny's approach.
