Chapter 7 Wilderness Trials, Tang Yue's Expectations!
Inside the top class of the second semester of the second year at Tianlan Middle School.
"Brother Fan, Brother Jiang, this Stardust Magic Artifact is really useful!"
Zhang Xiaohou excitedly told the two people in front of him about his experience using the Stardust Magic Artifact.
He ranked 62nd in the top class, and it wasn't until the second semester of his junior year that he received the Stardust Magic Weapon.
"yes……"
Mo Fan scratched his head awkwardly, because he was still terrified when the topic of Stardust Magic Artifact came up.
The little mudfish necklace around my neck actually absorbed the Stardust Artifact!
Fortunately, after he confessed, the school said it was a normal phenomenon, since Stardust Magic Artifacts also have a lifespan.
He then went to the library and researched for a long time, only to discover that his little mudfish was actually a magical artifact with growth potential!
Jiang Che, on the other hand, was holding his breath and meditating.
Hearing Zhang Xiaohou's call, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and woke up, saying:
"Indeed, stardust artifacts are extremely important for novice mages."
He couldn't help but feel the warm, jade-like necklace on his chest, which was the Stardust Magic Artifact that Mu Ningxue had given him.
With the Stardust Magic Artifact, Ice Affinity, and innate dual-elemental powerful mental strength, Jiang Che's cultivation speed has already taken off!
In less than two years, his ice element was only one step away from the intermediate level, and his fire element had also reached the second level.
In contrast, among his peers, the strongest was only Mo Fan, who had just reached the second level of the initial stage...
"Sigh, I only have one month of usage time left, I'm so reluctant to give it up."
Zhang Xiaohou dreamed of when he would have his own Stardust Magic Artifact.
Jiang Che seemed to sense Zhang Xiaohou's doubts and patted him on the shoulder.
"There will be more in the future."
Just after Jiang Che finished comforting Zhang Xiaohou.
"Ahem, I have something to announce now."
Xue Musheng, the head teacher of the top class, walked straight in and stood on the podium, looking at the students and speaking.
"After you finish lunch today, Director Chen, Teacher Tang Yue, and I will take you to participate in a field trial."
"I absolutely have to be on my best this time! My score will count towards the Magic College Entrance Exam!"
At this moment, Mu Bai, who was in the front row, clenched his fist and looked at Jiang Che and Mo Fan provocatively.
He never expected that he would only be third in the entire school in the last annual assessment!
This is an absolute disgrace!
"Alright, let's start assigning teams now."
"Jiang Che, Mo Fan, Mu Bai, Xu Zhaoting... the five of you will be the team leaders."
"The team members are..."
When the assignments were being made, most of the students looked at Jiang Che.
After all, by attaching themselves to this powerful figure, their practical achievements are at least guaranteed.
After the assignments were completed, Jiang Che looked at the composition of his team and felt speechless.
He's crammed five Light-type abilities into himself! Old Xue really thinks highly of himself.
"Ahem, let's go."
……
Xuefeng Mountain Station is located outside Bocheng and serves as an important barrier to isolate wild demons.
During that time, they encountered many, many hunter mages.
"These hunter mages seem to be about the same level as us."
Zhang Xiaohou, who was in Jiang Che's team, asked with some confusion.
Xue Musheng, who happened to be nearby, overheard this and said with a smile:
"Breaking through to the intermediate level isn't that easy. In Bo City, every intermediate-level mage is a big shot!"
"And don't underestimate them. In terms of actual combat ability, a Hunter Mage is probably several times better than you."
Hearing this explanation, Zhang Xiaohou was clearly unconvinced.
"Alright, this is your destination."
Several military magistrates in green uniforms stood straight ahead.
The leader was a handsome, dashing middle-aged man with a beard.
He looked at the female students in the student group with a frivolous expression, appearing somewhat lewd.
"Another bunch of greenhorns have arrived."
"Let me introduce myself. I'm the person in charge here. You can call me Instructor Zhan Kong."
After Zhan Kong finished his introduction, Xue Musheng stepped forward to negotiate.
"The usual rules?"
"What old rules? I don't know that!"
Zhan Kong feigned ignorance and replied.
"I made some changes to this wilderness trial, but it's still pretty much the same."
Hearing this, Xue Musheng and Director Chen were relieved.
"This year's trial is..."
"Complete a demon-slaying bounty!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
Before the students could react, the onlooker hunters started to make a ruckus.
"Is Boss Zhan Kong out of his mind? Sending a bunch of students to fight demons all by themselves!"
"Isn't this just sending them to their deaths?"
Xue Musheng quickly stepped forward to negotiate:
"Did Instructor Zhan Kong make a mistake? This mission's difficulty level has already exceeded the trial requirements."
But Zhan Kong ignored Xue Musheng and said seriously:
"The concept of 'getting by' doesn't exist in my culture!"
"If the bounty isn't met, you're all unqualified!"
Such harsh words were spoken.
The students were stunned, as if struck by lightning.
"Are you kidding me? Confronting demons head-on?"
"I've only recently mastered casting magic!"
It's important to know that even a slave-level demon requires several experienced hunter mages to kill.
As for these students, most of whom have only barely mastered first-level magic?
It probably can't even break through the demon's defenses!
Seeing the students' reaction, Zhan Kong was very satisfied and continued:
"Of course, if any of you completes this bounty, everyone will get an A rating!"
"Furthermore, I personally provided the killer with an extra shield-type magic item!"
The students showed no excitement when they heard about the magical artifact worth hundreds of thousands, mainly because they didn't have the chance to get it alive!
"Alright, let's go right now!"
Ignoring the teachers' objections, Zhan Kong announced the start of the trial.
Five teams set off from different points toward the demon cave.
What these students didn't know was...
Several eyes were following them from behind.
"How was my acting? Not bad, right?"
Xue Musheng showed no trace of his earlier anger and laughed as he spoke.
Director Chen couldn't help but praise:
"Using summoned beasts for assessments is a really good method."
Zhan Kong looked smug; he was determined to train these hothouse flowers properly.
Tang Yue, standing to the side, gazed at Jiang Che's figure in the distance and said hesitantly:
"What if a student actually kills the summoned beast?"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Kong immediately denied it:
"Impossible, even if there were a hundred more students, it wouldn't be possible."
"Even a seasoned monster-hunting team would have a hard time defeating Bai Yang's summoned beast!"
Xue Musheng echoed:
"Yes, Teacher Tang Yue, that's impossible."
Tang Yue didn't continue arguing; she just stared at Jiang Che's figure.
Jiang Che's fire element should be at the second stage of the initial level.
She always felt that this boy would create miracles.
On the other side...
The journey to the demon's cave was not without its challenges.
They encountered a cliff, but fortunately Zhang Xiaohou stepped forward and crossed it in one fell swoop. The vine monsters behind them were instantly killed by Zhou Min!
Jiang Che, as the team leader, didn't show much; he seemed to be waiting for something.
