Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 19 Vine
A man wearing a straw hat jumped down from the tree holding a scoreboard. He had seen Zhang Xiaohou's performance and Lin Ran's extremely cool tightrope walking. To be honest, this was the first time in all these years that he had seen a student like Lin Ran do things with ease. After observing for a period of time, he was sure that Lin Ran's physical fitness was very good, because Lin Ran did not look tired at all during these days.

Take the scoreboard and walk to the tent not far away.

"All three groups passed, especially Zhang Xiaohou's performance was outstanding." The man in the hat handed the scoreboard to Zhan Kong and spoke.

Next to Zhan Kong sat the teachers of the practical class and the instructors. They sat together comfortably eating snacks and drinking beverages.

“Oh?” Zhan Kong raised his eyebrows.

He had read the information and found that Zhang Xiaohou was not one of the few people with high wind element, but that was normal. After all, cultivation was only the foundation. An excellent magician needed to develop in all aspects.

“Write down the name and give a high score. However, it seems that apart from his excellent physical fitness, there is nothing else that can be seen about Lin Ran right now!” Zhan Kong touched his chin and said. To be honest, what he was most looking forward to was Lin Ran’s performance, but now Lin Ran looked like he was just slacking off and there was no sign of any good performance from him.

Tang Yue said at this time: "There is no place for Lin Ran to show his ability, right? You can't ask him to jump over a cliff that is dozens of meters wide? If he can do it, then I will doubt whether he is a demon."

Zhan Kong nodded and said, “That’s true.”

"Hahahaha, you guys really know how to have fun." Zhang Jianguo said at this time.

At this time, the instructors and teachers also started discussing with each other.

They were guessing who would be able to successfully defeat the demon.

"Compared to the past when they just muddled through their days, this is indeed a way to test students' psychological qualities. However, these tests are too easy for Lin Ran. I've learned that Lin Ran will surpass himself yesterday every day, even if it's just a little bit. For example, if he runs 10 kilometers today, he will definitely surpass 10 kilometers tomorrow. He will persist even if it's just one meter. So you should be able to imagine how strong Lin Ran's perseverance is. That's why Lin Ran is so comfortable. I have to say that he is a very surprising student."

Tang Yue said to a few people while thinking about Lin Ran's affairs.

At this time, Pan Lijun said: "I thought he was just a ruffian student."

At this time, Zhan Kong said, "No one doesn't like to be looked down upon, especially someone as talented as Lin Ran. He is young and can use the third-level magic. He is hardworking and talented, and his future is limitless. Naturally, I am dissatisfied with your condescending attitude, but now Lin Ran is completely useless. If he is still useless in the end, then I will eliminate him. Teacher Tang Yue, you should have no objection, right?"

Tang Yue nodded and said, "Of course I have no objection."

"Can the bounty on Lin Ran really be fulfilled?" Zhang Jianguo said at this time.

"It's great to be able to pass the demon vine area. It's impossible to defeat the demon, right? Even if it's one of us, it's very difficult to deal with the demon, let alone a high school student." An instructor said.

Then the instructor continued: "But this time it's not a demon, but a summoned beast."

Zhang Jianguo's eyes widened: "Is this true?"

"Really! Demons are uncontrollable so we naturally won't use real demons for training, but summoned beasts can be used."

At this time Luo Yunbo spoke.

Xue Musheng said: "Demons are uncontrollable, so it is a good idea to let summoned beasts replace demons. This way, students can see the true strength of demons and avoid losing their lives due to their arrogant character.

I have to say that you are a very good person, Boss Zhankong. I believe that my students will benefit a lot from this experience."

"As they should be. They are the guardians of the future of mankind. We have the obligation to protect them before they grow up. However, training is also indispensable."

Zhan Kong spoke up and said that the higher up the hierarchy, the more they understood the threat that demons posed to humans.

At this time, Tang Yue said: "Lin Ran's level 3 Fire Breath can seriously injure summoned beasts, which means that when facing summoned beasts, it is time for Lin Ran to show his skills."

"That's true. Level one magic basically cannot harm summoned beasts, and level one thunder magic can at most paralyze the monsters for a moment, and level one fire magic can only cause superficial injuries to summoned beasts. However, summoned beasts are extremely fast. I just don't know if Lin Ran can avoid the attack and then counterattack." Chen Weiliang spoke at this time. He also had high expectations for Lin Ran.

The teachers and instructors all laughed.

Tang Yue looked towards the valley shrouded in thick fog. Mo Fan had a Stardust Magic Weapon, so his cultivation level must not be too low. This time could be said to be the performance time for Lin Ran and Mo Fan. Tang Yue was not worried about Lin Ran, but was a little worried about Mo Fan. She hoped that Mo Fan could use his magic completely in front of the summoned beast. As long as he used magic and hit the summoned beast, he would definitely get an S-level score.

……

We crossed the river valley and passed through an area of ​​weeds taller than humans, and then we saw the Baicao Valley.

"These narrow valley roads are so winding." Wang Sanpang couldn't help but say at this time. His scalp tingled when he looked at these winding narrow roads. To be honest, he didn't like such roads.

"Hmm~, there are so many vines on the road, it's annoying that they will scratch my skin." said a delicate girl.

The vines look like blue-black snakes lying on the ground or rocks. At first glance, it feels like you have entered a group of snakes, so it is normal to be afraid.

"Creepy." A girl said, rubbing her arms in fear.

"Aren't they just some broken vines?" Wang Sanpang said disdainfully, then took a knife and cut the vines.

As long as Wang Sanpang can pass, others can pass too.

"Ah...!!! Damn it! What the hell, oh my god! It hurts!" Suddenly Wang Sanpang cried out in pain, and it felt like an old dog barking after being beaten.

Everyone took a step back. The vines moved and hung Wang Sanpang up. Then the vines whipped Wang Sanpang viciously. The barbs on the vines cut Wang Sanpang's skin and blood flowed out.

Many girls screamed in fear.

At this time, Xu Zhaoting said impatiently: "Why are you yelling? Is this going to work?"

At this time, Mo Fan looked at the vine and said, "Don't you like watching videos of people being abused? Do you have any ideas to enjoy it?"

Before Lin Ran could say anything, Zhou Min turned around and said, "Can you guys be serious? Someone is injured now!!!"

Lin Ran spread his hands and said, "This is a lesson. Wang Sanpang will remember this lesson well in the future."

At this time, Xu Zhaoting had already started using magic. The shadows of stars appeared and quickly arranged together, and fascinating purple starlight appeared.

In a moment, Xu Zhaoting completed the arrangement of the stars, and now he is very skilled in controlling the stars.

“Thunder Seal: Python Mark!!!”

In one go, the violent skills of the Elemental Leader are released.

Arcs of lightning lashed the vines around Wang Sanpang.

Although there were some charred marks on these vines, it was not a big deal. It was obvious that lightning magic had little effect on these vines.

Wang Sanpang was hung up and moved upwards.

At this time, Wang Sanpang had already started crying and was extremely scared.

"Help..." Wang Sanpang said in a crying voice.

Not only that, the vines also spread towards other people. One of the girls was so frightened that she even forgot how to use magic.

"Step back!!!!" At this time Ban Zhoumin stood up bravely.

The fire stars arranged themselves quickly, forming fire star trails in a moment.

The air around Zhou Min became hot, and a ball of fiery red energy appeared in Zhou Min's hand. Zhou Min swung it violently, and the ball of fire sank into the blue-black vines. In an instant, flames shot out from the vines.

These vines were swallowed up in an instant, which shows that these vines are very afraid of fire. After encountering fire, these vines quickly moved.

These vines also threw Wang Sanpang to the ground.

Wang Sanpang was quite frightened, but he finally stood up.

"The monitor is so handsome."

"The monitor is still awesome!"

At this time, the students began to compliment Zhou Min.

Xu Zhaoting frowned.

Xu Zhaoting's eyes fell on Lin Ran at this time and said, "If you don't perform like this, you will definitely fail."

Xu Zhaoting also glanced at Mo Fan. He felt a little unwilling that these two people had better grades than him. If they were the ones who used fire to force back the vines, he would have been able to accept it, but it was Zhou Min, whose grades were not as good as his, and he found it hard to accept.

Lin Ran tilted his head and said, "If I make a move, you won't have a chance to show off, so you should show off more before I make a move."

Xu Zhaoting curled his lips and said, "You are really arrogant."

Xu Zhaoting has always disliked Lin Ran because he couldn't understand whether Lin Ran was joking or mocking others.

Xu Zhaoting had seen Lin Ran and Mo Fan often mocking each other before, and he couldn't believe that they didn't get angry. Xu Zhaoting felt that if it were him, he would have been angry a long time ago.

It has to be said that there is a reason why these two people became friends.

Mo Fan couldn't help but say, "You've become more and more shameless recently."

Lin Ran glanced at Mo Fan and said, "When it comes to shamelessness, you, Mo Fan, are the most shameless. How dare I compete with you?"

Mo Fan laughed and cursed, "You bitch."

"You little bitch."

"You little bitch."

"I say! Can you be more normal while we're still taking the assessment?" Zhou Min said. Are they children?
Lin Ran said, "Others laugh at me for being too crazy."

“I laugh at others for not being able to see through it. How ridiculous you, the little squad leader,” Mo Fan said immediately.

"Ahhh! I'm going to kill you." Zhou Min said, rolling up his sleeves.

At this time, Lin Ran said, "Go ahead and hit me. Beating is love and scolding is affection. Love me as much as you can."

Zhou Min: “…”

Don't use such a handsome face to say such perverted words!!!

……

"Zhou Min? A girl of the fire element. Not only is she pretty, but she's also very brave. She's a nice girl and very much to my taste." Zhan Kong said while pulling at his stubble.

"Right now Group 1 should be making the fastest progress, right? After all, Group 1 has the most outstanding students." Zhang Jianguo said.

"The fire mage in group one was a loser. He couldn't cast any magic at all when facing the demon vines. Fortunately, Mu Bai used magic to slow down the demon vines, so group one was able to pass. Now they should be about to encounter the summoned beast, the Phantom Wolf."

"The ghost wolf beast shouldn't hurt the students, right?" "Huh? How is that possible? It's normal to break a few bones when encountering a ghost wolf beast, but no one will be killed." Pan Lijun said.

A few people began to chat.

……

The scenery in Baicao Valley is nice. To the south is a palm-shaped lake and to the north is a raised mountain pass.

The lair of the one-eyed wolf is at the mountain pass.

The leader of the first group is Mu Bai, who is also the deputy monitor. With his handsome appearance and good ability, he successfully attracted some fans.

If it weren’t for Mu Bai this time, they might not even have passed the demon vine area.

At this time, Zhao Kunsan said: "The lair of the one-eyed demon wolf is just ahead. This reward is also very simple."

Zhao Kunsan entered the elite class in the last quarter and successfully colluded with Mu Bai.

"Be careful, the bounty is not that easy to fulfill. It should be said that the training has just begun." Mu Bai knew something about the bounty, so he spoke up to remind everyone that it would be wrong to fail at this time. A good magician should always be vigilant.

A group of twenty people climbed to the entrance of the cave.

There is a smaller spring pool here and it is only about half the size now.

The cave was pitch black, which gave people a sense of unknown fear, and the cold wind made the students nervous.

Zhao Kunsan felt goose bumps all over his body.

"Shall we wait until more people arrive before going in?" He Yu said timidly. The environment here made her very nervous, as if monsters would rush out from nowhere at any time.

Just as everyone was discussing, three groups of people arrived.

He Yu immediately became excited when he saw the people in group three. If group three was still the strongest, with three fire magicians with the best performance and Xu Zhaoting who was a lightning magician, group three was well-deservedly the violent group.

Having three groups of people around makes people feel a lot more at ease.

Seeing that the three groups were slower than him, Mu Bai curled his lips, feeling a little proud. So what if he did well in the exam? Am I not the one who is ahead now?

“Hey! Hello everyone.” Mo Fan greeted everyone in the group, but not many people responded.

At this time, the other groups had not arrived yet, and probably did not have the ability to get here. After all, not everyone dared to jump off the cliff or pass through the demon vine area.

"Let's go in together. Students from the Department of Light, please light up the light bulb." Zhao Kunsan said. He was about to complete the training, which made him happy.

The students of the Department of Light were very dissatisfied, but they did not refute. After all, they were just a moving light bulb.

The Light Element used its ability and illuminated the cave, but it did not completely illuminate it.

The rocky caves made people feel scared, and silent fear was eroding them.

"Students with wind skills, please lead the way." Mu Bai said. With wind skills, it would be easier to escape even if they encountered danger.

Zhao Kunsan, Zhang Yinglu and others stepped forward.

Zhang Xiaohou is also a wind element, so he also explored the way forward.

At this time, Mo Fan looked at the pool.

There are some water lines on the edge of the pool. The time it has taken for the water to drop should not be more than half a day, and it is impossible for it to evaporate so quickly. There should be more than one demon here.

Noticing Mo Fan's expression, Zhang Xiaohou walked over and couldn't help asking what happened.

Mo Fan shared his findings.

Zhang Xiaohou turned pale, and then said, "Don't scare me!"

Mo Fan touched his chin. At this time, Zhang Xiaohou ran up to Mu Bai and the others and told them what Mo Fan had discovered.

However, before Zhang Xiaohou could finish his words, a foul-smelling evil wind blew up in the cave, hitting everyone in the face.

Everyone felt like a huge wave was about to hit them, and their hair was all messy.

"Awooo!!" At this time, a terrifying roar came from deep in the cave.

There really is a demon here!!!
Some of the timid students' legs have started to shake.

Before they encountered the demons, they were full of vigor and thought that the demons were not worth mentioning. But now, looking at the green pupils deep in the cave, they felt unprecedented pressure, and fear was eroding their spirits. Was this the demon that the instructors were facing? It was really terrifying.

A foot covered with green hair stepped out from the darkness, and its claws as sharp as a knife sank into the ground.

Soon after, a terrifying head appeared, its terrifying fangs were exposed in the air, and smelly liquid dripped from the demon's mouth.

The demon's body looked bigger than a camel, and in an instant a huge amount of pressure came over him.

Mu Bai, Xu Zhaoting, Mo Fan, and Zhang Xiaohou all began breathing faster and their hearts were beating violently.

They even found it difficult to swallow saliva.

“Run…run…run!!!” Someone shouted.

The next second, these students ran out of the cave in panic like frightened wild birds.

Zhang Xiaohou grabbed He Yu's hand and ran out. The little girl was completely frightened.

"Wind... Wind Track... Damn it!!!"

Zhang Xiaohou tried to use the wind track, but was unsuccessful.

He thought he was already very skilled, but now he found that he was unable to use magic when facing the monsters. The stars jumped around like frightened deer and could not complete the arrangement at all.

"Fan...Brother Fan, run quickly." Zhang Xiaohou said anxiously.

Mo Fan also started running, and all kinds of noises became louder, which made it impossible for him to connect with the stars quietly, and the pressure from the monster was too great.

Mo Fan grabbed Zhou Min's arm and ran out.

"I'll hold it back, you guys calm down quickly." Zhou Min said, she was unwilling to escape like this.

Mo Fan carried Zhou Min and left. This girl had gone crazy. Even his stars were interrupted and their arrangement was interrupted, let alone Zhou Min.

At this time, Mo Fan looked at Lin Ran and said, "What the hell are you doing?"

At this moment, he saw Lin Ran using magic. This guy is usually stupid, but why is he stupid now?
Lin Ran glanced at Mo Fan and said, "Take a deep breath and calm down. The demon in front of you is just a beast."

Lin Ran's voice was so loud that it attracted everyone in an instant. They all thought that Lin Ran was risking his life.

Lin Ran looked at the ghost wolf with an expressionless face, and then a fire star track flashed by, and a hot and fiery red energy ball appeared in Lin Ran's half-clenched palm.

Flames appeared on Lin Ran's body, illuminating the cave.

While using magic, Lin Ran said, "You have practiced so much in school, isn't it just to deal with demons? And what are you doing now? Running away?

You should know that these unscrupulous instructors might be watching us, and your funny looks can be seen clearly by others.

Be quiet, and then release your magic! You are the best students in Tianlan High School!!!"

"Fire explosion!!!" Lin Ran instantly unleashed his fire magic.

Lin Ran's voice was so loud that the students couldn't help but stop and started to get excited.

Lin Ran's magic fell next to the demon.

The demon was stunned for a moment. Is this magician’s aim bad?

Just as it was thinking this, the explosion of Lin Ran's magic produced a huge shock wave, which mixed with flames and engulfed the ghost wolf beast.

"Bang!!!" The ghost wolf beast was blown away. The huge power directly blew the ghost wolf beast half to death. If it was hit by such an attack, it would definitely die.

The ghost wolf was wary of Lin Ran.

At this time, all the hair on its body had been burned.

“It’s useless if it’s thrown in the wrong direction like this.” At this time, Mo Fan walked to Lin Ran and looked at the Phantom Wolf.

Looking at the figures of Lin Ran and Mo Fan, Mu Bai walked to Lin Ran with stiff steps and said, "Lin Ran needs to practice magic more in the future so that he can throw it away."

Lin Ran People came to Lin Ran one after another.

At this time, Mu Bai said, "Let's do it together. Listen to my command. Everyone is holding back their anger, right? Let's kill this damn beast."

"Brilliance·Purification!!!"

"Icevine·Slow!!!"

"Waters·Dissolve!!!"

"Ground Wave - Move!!!"

"Fire, Burn!!!"

In an instant, all kinds of magic were thrown at the demons.

……

"What a pity! If Lin Ran could hit the ghost wolf beast, he might get a higher score." Pan Lijun said at this time. Although Lin Ran released magic, his accuracy was too poor.

Hearing Pan Lijun's words, Zhan Kong snorted and said, "What do you know? He missed the target on purpose. If his magic hit the Phantom Wolf Beast, it would have died immediately. You see, Lin Ran's magic only landed near the Phantom Wolf Beast, and the Phantom Wolf Beast was seriously injured by the aftermath of the magic. This guy is giving others a chance to gain experience. No wonder he said that if he took action, others would not have a chance to gain experience. I thought he was just showing off, but I didn't expect he was stating the facts.

I can only say that this student is a monster. As long as he survives, he will become the backbone of mankind."

After hearing Zhan Kong's words, the group looked at each other in bewilderment. At this time, Bai Yang said, "Boss, are you too optimistic about him?"
