Mo Fan threw a punch down!

Scorching flames poured down like a waterfall, forming a burning red swamp on the river!

The enormous creature melted instantly in the flames, its sturdy flesh along with the carapace that could withstand Advanced Spells. It completely was turned into ashes in the burning swamp.

Wei Rong fell to the ground, staring at the flames with wide eyes.

The creature was stronger than Wei Rong had imagined. He was prepared to sacrifice himself to save his students, but a powerful Mage had arrived in time to kill the creature with a single blow!

Wei Rong immediately brought his hands together when he saw Mo Fan landing on the ground.

“Thank you for your help… holy crap!” Wei Rong was spooked after he took a closer look at Mo Fan’s face.

“Mr. Wei, you don’t have to be so polite to me. Are my juniors doing well?” Mo Fan smiled. He looked to the other side of the river.

There were around fifty students dressed in the same uniforms on the other side of the river. They were obviously students of Fire School.

The students on the other side of the river were dumbstruck.

Was the creature really gone so quickly, even though it had been unharmed after taking so many hits from them?

How strong was that young man!?

“Students, this is your senior of the Fire School, Mo Fan!” Wei Rong quickly called out to his students.

Wei Rong turned around and saw Mo Fan lifting his hand.

He thought Mo Fan was greeting the students, but he noticed Mo Fan clenching his hand with lightning flickers around it!

“Mo Fan, what are you doing?” Wei Rong yelled.

The students were terrified too. Even though there was a river between them, the clouds instantly twisted together. The pressure was suffocating even before the lightning appeared.

“Lightning Scissors!”

Mo Fan continued to attack. He swung his hand at lightning speed. Two bolts of lightning appeared behind the students and flew at the mist there like a pair of scissors!

The lightning flickered wildly and revealed the true appearance of a creature there. It was a Poisonous Loach Demon, stained the same color as the mud. Its size was equal to that of a prehistoric crocodile. It was hiding in the wetlands and had covered itself in mud to hide from the students!

However, the Lightning Scissors cut the Poisonous Loach Demon in half before the students had time to be scared. Lightning arcs wrapped around its remains, preventing the poison mist from harming the students after its death.

“What…” Wei Rong gasped. He was lost for words.

He thought he could sacrifice himself to save his students, but he was unaware of the existence of another sea monster at the farms!

If Mo Fan had not been around, they would all be dead! The thought alone sent chills down his spine!

“These sea monsters aren’t easy to deal with. Why are you the only teacher with these students?” Mo Fan asked him.

Wei Rong let out a sigh and answered, “Dean Xiao and the other directors are at the opening of the Huangpu River. They have to guard the place to stop more sea monsters from reaching inland, but the river is over a hundred kilometers long and is already crawling with countless sea monsters. We can only hold them back until the people are evacuated to safety.”

The students stood around them. They seemed extremely demoralized.

These young students thought they could finally put their skills to use, but they could not even take on the weakest sea monsters. They were starting to have lingering fears toward the invading creatures.

“Mr. Wei, the school didn’t assign the students into groups appropriately. Students with the Fire Element are naturally at a disadvantage when fighting sea monsters. You should assign them into groups with other Elements,” Mo Fan pointed out.

“It all happened too quickly, so we didn’t put much thought into it,” Wei Rong answered numbly.

“You all are strong enough to handle these creatures, but the sea monsters are different from the demon creatures on land. You must probe them with the Shadow and Wind Element first and suppress them with Light and Water Element. You can’t engage the sea monsters recklessly until you have learned their strength and abilities. The more impatient you are, the greater the casualties will be,” Mo Fan told the students to encourage them.

“Mo Fan is right. If we keep fighting recklessly, not only will we fail to rescue the civilians, we will also die for nothing. I’ll gather the rest of the students and assign them into groups properly. We must handle the situation calmly,” Wei Rong nodded in agreement.

They had to evaluate the sea monsters differently, especially when they were close to water. They had to be smarter and better at working together. They also had to treasure their lives more.

“Mo Fan, there’s a huge one ten kilometers from here!” Zhao Manyan had continued to circle in the sky like a golden eagle.

“What level is it?” Mo Fan asked him.

“I’m afraid it’s a Ruler-level creature. I can see many teachers fighting it,” Zhao Manyan called down.

“We’ll head over now!” Mo Fan stated.

A Ruler-level creature… a creature like that would result in heavy casualties in the area!

Commander-level creatures were already deadly for most people. They had to keep Ruler-level creatures at bay as quickly as possible and drive them away, or kill them before they could cause irreversible destruction!

“It’s the creature that is summoning the red tides! It stopped the people in the new district from leaving…” Wei Rong winced in sympathy.

The first place Wei Rong had gone to was not Zhanghe Town, but the new district of the Headquarters City. He had witnessed a terrible disaster from the top of a hill.

The Red Tide Demon had immediately hidden in the water and looked for a new target after destroying the new district.

“Why would a Ruler-level creature show up here? Shouldn’t they be out at the sea?”

“How scary, we can’t even handle Commander-level creatures. We are no different from the ordinary people when we stumble into Ruler-level creatures!”

“Senior Mo Fan probably won’t make it back alive if he fights the Ruler-level creature.”

The students had just regained a little confidence, but they panicked as soon as they heard about the Ruler-level creature.

“Don’t give up yet. We’ll surely purge the sea monsters in the river. Don’t forget, we are from the Pearl Institute. Your Senior Mo Fan is our alumni!” Wei Rong proclaimed.
