Chapter 355: Second Circle

What the hell?

Lynn frowned, looking at the three people slowly surrounding him.

According to Julia, they were all ‘goods’ sent to him, to enhance his cultivation.

They should have been restricted in their ability to move, at his mercy, but now they had unexpectedly broken free from their restraints.

Even Mandy, who was supposed to be watching them, was on her last breath.

Where did things go wrong?

“Swish!”

Before Lynn could figure it out, the person on the left had already transformed into a spider the size of a millstone.

Scorching flames wrapped around the spider’s body.

A first-order creature—a Fire Spider!

Spiders are usually afraid of fire, but there are always some exceptions. The Fire Spider is a legendary creature that manipulates flames.

As the Fire Spider pounced, its sharp, thin spider legs, like spears, quickly stabbed forward.

The spears were like dragons, leaving behind countless afterimages.

“Swish!”

The mud beneath Lynn’s feet splashed as his entire body, like a nimble snake, darted out from the gaps between the countless spider legs.

Before he could land, darkness filled his vision as a Fire Fox several meters long appeared in front of him, baring its teeth.

The Fire Fox crouched low to the ground, its body surrounded by flames that had solidified into blades, charging towards Lynn like a whirlwind.

“Hiss…”

Lynn’s body swayed as he transformed into a Fire Scale Flood Dragon, his serpentine body rolling to entangle the Fire Fox.

On the other side.

“Roar!”

The last person transformed into a giant tiger, its ruby-like eyes radiating a scorching light.

The tiger’s body crouched low, about to launch an attack when a drifting human skin suddenly appeared before it.

“Flap, flap…”

The human skin swelled up against the wind, instantly transforming into a giant over three meters tall, who headbutted the tiger.

The Hundred-Faced Demon, Susan!

“It seems your cultivation is all obtained by devouring others, and you don’t even know how to cast spells.”

The Fire Scale Flood Dragon was barely second-order, so facing two late-stage first-order demonic creatures, it didn’t fall behind.

However, their methods were very strange, and for a moment he couldn’t gain the upper hand.

“Aren’t you the same?”

The Fire Spider’s legs pierced the air as it spoke in a shrill voice:

“Although we don’t understand spells, we have the top-tier martial techniques that the Luo Er Family collected from other worlds, which are especially suited for our current bodies.”

“Take my Thousand Spider Stabs!”

The Fire Spider’s form flickered, now east, now west, unpredictable, its spider legs even more fierce, making it impossible to defend against.

The Fire Fox was no less impressive.

Pouncing, tail-whipping, biting, it could even control flames to form blades, creating gusts of fiery hurricanes.

Although they didn’t understand spells, they had grown to their current strength through constant battles, so their power was not weak.

Especially in this relatively small courtyard where close-quarters combat was taking place, spells were not as convenient as the instincts of animals.

Even if a late-stage first-circle wizard came, they would probably suffer.

“Boom!”

The house was swept by flames and collapsed on the spot.

The boulders in the courtyard were grazed by the flame-turned blades, instantly scattering into a pile of rubble, which was then melted by the high temperature.

Indeed!

The Luo Er Family was training them to be top-tier fighters, so they naturally wouldn’t be stingy with resources.

These martial techniques suited for different bodies were something even the original body rarely came into contact with, so he was somewhat disheveled for a moment.

Susan was even more overwhelmed.

The Hundred-Faced Demon was naturally afraid of fire, and the faces on its body let out miserable cries under the scorching flames.

Fortunately, Lynn’s foundation was deep, and with the experience of a martial arts grandmaster, he gradually turned the tide after adapting.

“Swish!”

The huge, slender serpentine body moved nimbly, lightly brushing aside the incoming spider legs, and coiled towards the Fire Spider.

“Hiss, hiss…”

Lynn flicked his snake tongue, his speed suddenly increasing, and the Fire Spider was instantly constricted, unable to move.

Die!

He roared inwardly, his snake mouth biting down, directly twisting off the Fire Spider’s head.

But during this gap, the Fire Fox also landed a few heavy blows on Lynn, leaving several hideous tears on his serpentine body.

But they were inconsequential.

“Swish!”

The Fire Scale Flood Dragon pounced, spewing flames from its mouth.

◈◈◈

“Boom!”

The second-order flames were clearly beyond the Fire Fox’s expectations. After taking a direct hit, it cried out miserably, its attack instantly collapsing.

Lynn pressed his advantage, taking the opportunity to rush forward, his snake tail whipping, his snake mouth tearing, once again pinning down one of his opponents.

“Hiss, hiss…”

The serpentine body coiled up, looking at the last remaining Fire Tiger.

“Only you left!”

The Fire Tiger had just sent the Hundred-Faced Demon flying. Before it could catch its breath, it saw its two companions killed, its face filled with bewilderment.

“How could this be?”

It muttered:

“We are the best of the best in the Dark Cave, we’ve even helped hunt down a second-circle wizard before.”

“You…”

“Dark Cave?” Lynn moved his body:

“A place where the Luo Er Family trains fighters?”

“Bang!”

The two giant beasts collided head-on with no reserve, producing a dull thud.

The tiger was known for its strength, while the Fire Scale Flood Dragon was known for its agility. This collision actually sent the tiger flying backwards.

“Forget it.”

Lynn shook his head:

“Where you came from is irrelevant to me. Just die!”

Huh?

Just as he was about to pounce, his body swayed, instantly transforming from a Fire Scale Flood Dragon back into human form, and he retreated rapidly.

At the same time.

A large net fell from the sky, landing where the Fire Scale Flood Dragon had just been, leaving even imprints on the ground.

If Lynn had retreated even slightly slower, he would have been torn to pieces on the spot.

“Who?”

“Truly useless.” A man dressed in black robes, Kreiji, appeared in mid-air, his eyes sweeping over the tiger in the arena with displeasure:

“Three of you working together, and you can’t even deal with one person.”

The tiger retracted its claws, its beastly face revealing a human-like embarrassed expression, and it retreated obediently behind the man.

“Hmm…” Lynn looked at the newcomer:

“Did you help them break free?”

“You should also be from the Luo Er Family, right? Offending Miss Julia, did you never think about the consequences?”

“Miss Julia wants results, not the process.” Kreiji shook his head:

“As long as someone can take her to the Viper Academy’s Astral Plane residence, it doesn’t have to be you.”

“Forget it!”

“It’s useless to say so much to you. Since the three of them are no match for you, I’ll have to do it myself.”

“Swish!”

Before he finished speaking, a white light suddenly erupted from Lynn’s body, rushing out of the courtyard.

“Trying to escape?”

Kreiji’s expression didn’t change:

“A first-circle wizard, impossible…”

“Huh?”

His eyes narrowed, his face showing surprise:

“A Three-Eyed White Raven!”

Lynn had actually transformed into a white raven with three eyes, crashing towards the barrier.

The barrier, which had been seemingly indestructible, immediately rippled, and even the void seemed to tremble on the spot.

“Unbelievable!”

Kreiji’s expression changed. His second-circle spell, the Hand of Elemental Power, reached out to grab Lynn:

“You actually received a blessing from a second-order creature.”

A year ago, when Lynn advanced to a first-circle wizard, he went to see one of the Viper Academy’s guardians, the Three-Eyed White Raven.

It gave him a feather.

The Three-Eyed White Raven possessed a legendary bloodline, said to be the messenger pigeon of an ancient deity.

It possessed extreme speed and the ability to traverse space.

Of course.

The Three-Eyed White Raven was far from as powerful as its ancestors, and the feather Lynn received only contained a small portion of its power.

If he was facing a first-circle wizard, he could definitely escape easily, but now he was facing a second-circle wizard.
