After everyone had rested, Lu Zhenghe stood up and said, "Could the Hunter Alliance have given us incorrect information? The danger here is far greater than the information they provided. Not to mention the terrifying Lizard-Skull Giant, the Pseudo-Dread Demon that was eaten is beyond our ability to handle. If all else fails, we should ask Master Wei for help."
"No need for now. If we're careful, we can still complete the mission smoothly," Mu Ningxue said calmly.
"I believe the information the Hunter Alliance reported to us is accurate," Jiang Han said after thinking for a moment.
"How could it be accurate? We've only explored so many locations and already encountered so many dangers," Lu Zhenghe retorted.
Jiang Han glanced at Lu Zhenghe and said calmly, "Didn't you see the corpses of the hunter mages inside just now? The information the Hunter Alliance provided to me was all reported by the surviving hunter mages. That's because they didn't encounter any powerful demons, so their assessment of this place was average. Those who encountered danger must have been wiped out, so how could they report information to the Hunter Alliance?"
"So what should we do next?" Zheng Bingxiao asked Jiang Han.
With Song Xia injured, and Luo Song, Shen Mingxiao, Lu Zhenghe, and others clamoring to go back, everyone was waiting for the two captains' orders. Jiang Han said calmly, "The mission continues. Those who want to leave first may go. As for whether those who leave can make it back to Anjie alive, that's not my concern."
"I won't leave either," Mu Ningxue said.
Mu Ningxue wasn't the type to force things. Whether it was Mingzhu or the capital, this training was a test of her strength, and she wouldn't back down. A powerful mage who couldn't withstand life-or-death trials couldn't go far on the path of magic. Just as Dean Songhe said, improving strength wasn't about staying in the comfort of the city all day to cultivate diligently; it required more battles. Only through repeated battles of blood and fire could one become stronger.
"If Jiang Han stays, I'll definitely stay too," Ai Tutu said with a grin.
Mu Nujiao, Bai Tingting, and the weakened Song Xia all nodded, indicating that they had no intention of leaving. Mo Fan even said nonchalantly, "I haven't had many proper matches at school, how could I let this opportunity slip by?"
"Ahem, I'll stay too," Zhao Manyan said after clearing his throat twice.
Finally, only Shen Mingxiao and Luo Song remained on the Mingzhu Academy side. Although both of them were very reluctant to continue the assessment task, they could only nod with dark faces and agree to continue the assessment after thinking about the terror of the pseudo-fear demon and the lizard-headed giant.
After Mu Ningxue decided to continue the assessment at the Imperial Academy, neither the male nor female students had any objections. The two girls, Qingqing and Zhao Mingyue, followed Mu Ningxue's lead. Since Mu Ningxue, the Ice and Snow Goddess, was going to stay and complete the task, the boys, Liao Mingxuan and Mingcong, were too embarrassed to say they wanted to go back.
"There are still several exploration sites. Should we split into two teams to explore them separately, and then meet up at this exploration point?" Jiang Han said, pulling out a map and pointing to the last exploration point.
"Okay, then please be careful." Mu Ningxue nodded and said calmly.
"Yes, you too."
After resting in the residential building for half an hour, Jiang Han and Mu Ningxue each led their respective teams from the academy toward the two detection points. Not long after the Pearl Academy team left, Mo Fan said he wanted to leave the battle alone. So Jiang Han had Song Xia prepare a set of detection equipment and give it to Mo Fan, telling him to get lost. Before leaving, Zhao Manyan also gave Mo Fan a positioning watch.
After leaving the group, Mo Fan changed his mind and went to the municipal building. While he was there, the little mudfish pendant around his neck trembled several times. Knowing the little mudfish's temperament, Mo Fan then suggested leaving the group.
Returning to the gloomy, dusty, abandoned hall, Mo Fan followed the little mudfish's directions and wandered through the hall, finally stopping at a place full of broken stones.
"This is it, Swift Star Wolf, get to work." Mo Fan drew a moonlit star trail to summon the Swift Star Wolf in front of him.
After emerging from the dimensional space, the domineering Swift Star Wolf let out a howl, as if to announce its arrival as a warrior-level wolf king. In the end, under Mo Fan's command, the once domineering Swift Star Wolf became a tool wolf, digging for treasures for Mo Fan.
Jiang Han led the rest of the Mingzhu Academy for two hours before arriving at a survey point. This survey point was located to the west of Jinlin City. There were dense buildings covered with ivy, and even hundreds of one-eyed demon wolves and dozens of warrior-level bone-spiked wolves. Exploring this place would be extremely difficult.
"Awooo!!!"
Upon sensing Jiang Han and his group approaching, a Bone-Spiked Wolf of Warrior-level strength raised its head and let out a loud howl.
The howl carried far and wide, summoning all the nearby demon wolves. Looking at the snarling wolves, Zhao Manyan, Luo Song, and Shen Mingxiao's expressions turned grim, while Ai Tutu was so frightened that she clung tightly to Jiang Han's arm.
"Aren't there a lot of these dire wolves?" Zhao Manyan swallowed hard.
"How about we abandon this probe site and go to another one?" Luo Song suggested.
Jiang Han looked at the gray figures surrounding him and said with a smile, "Give up what? Only through actual combat can your strength be tested. I'll be the one leading the attack, not you. Why are you panicking?"
"Zheng Bingxiao, have your Rock Mage guard the vicinity. The rest of you attack any approaching Dire Wolves. Zhao Manyan, Luo Song, and Song Xia, your defensive magic should be ready at any time. Ai Tutu, you'll gather data."
After giving the order, Jiang Han grabbed the Snow Condensing Dragon Blade and charged out. With a single slash, several demonic wolves were instantly killed. Purple star trails intertwined to form a magnificent lightning star map. Once the star map was completed, dark clouds gathered above the wolves, and gray-purple lightning surged wildly. The terrifying aura of destruction frightened the one-eyed demonic wolf into retreating.
"Awooo!!" Several Bone Spike Wolves of warrior-level stood up and roared, causing the One-Eyed Demon Wolf, which wanted to retreat, to stop in its tracks.
"Thunderbolt - Frenzy!!" A gray-purple lightning bolt, carrying an aura of world destruction, descended from the sky and struck the pack of one-eyed demon wolves, instantly blasting more than a dozen of them into a rain of blood.
"Holy crap, that's terrifying!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed in shock, staring at Jiang Han who was wreaking havoc.
Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes. Just moments before, when they witnessed the one-eyed demonic wolf surging in like a gray tide, they had both doubted their own lives and even harbored intense resentment towards Jiang Han for preventing their departure. But seeing Jiang Han slaughter the demonic wolf, their resentment vanished, replaced by unparalleled joy.
Ai Tutu exclaimed excitedly, "Jiang Han is amazing! This must be his full strength!!"
"Hurry up and collect the data." After scolding Ai Tutu, Mu Nujiao smiled.
"Okay!" Ai Tutu stuck out her tongue and said.
Jiang Han's slaughter continued. Occasionally, a lucky one-eyed demon wolf would dodge Jiang Han's attacks and rush towards Mu Nujiao, Zhao Manyan, and the others, but they were all dealt with by Mu Nujiao, Luo Song, Zheng Bingxiao, and the others without suffering any damage.
