When I woke up, I entered Terraria?!

Upon hearing this, Teacher Li's expression faltered slightly: "There's another person? Is it that little girl who was locked outside?"

Thinking of this, Teacher Li vaguely sensed something was wrong, and while she was distracted, Qi Yu's figure had already been completely swallowed up by the Thorn Forest.

Teacher Li turned to look behind him and saw that Zhao Ran, who had been fighting the flame clone, had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the flame clone standing there with its hands hanging down.

At this moment, in the entire area surrounded by thorny thickets, only Teacher Li remained standing alone.

"Hmph, I knew it. These three are all very clever. How could they possibly make such a basic mistake as abandoning their teammates?"

As Teacher Li spoke, she tossed a crimson staff from the sleeve of her wizard's robe. With the appearance of the staff, the density of fire element around her increased visibly.

"Come on, let me see your growth. This trial is different from the past. If you don't have the ability to protect yourself, it's better to stay in the academy and recover than to lose your life."

………………

In the backyard, outside the thicket of thorns.

A figure was slowly pushed out of the thorns, and then with a "thump," it was thrown to the ground not far away.

This person was Qi Yu, who had escaped the battlefield. At this moment, his body felt as if it had fallen apart, with burns all over his body, from which blood was constantly seeping out.

The clothing on his back had a large hole in it, revealing the jungle armor underneath. The back part of the armor was charred black from the explosion and was now emitting a soft green light as it repaired itself.

"Ouch, what are you doing? Ouch~~."

As Qi Yu got up from the ground, he grumbled, "Zhao Ran, can't you control your thorns and be a little gentler?"

And the one who shaped this jungle is now emerging from the thorn wall on the other side.

Although he wasn't in such a sorry state compared to Qi Yu, his serious expression revealed that his situation was equally dire.

"Teacher Li is launching a massive attack inside. It's already quite an achievement that I can keep the Thorn Forest from collapsing. How can I have the mind to control whether it's gentle or not?"

Qi Yu stood to the side, checking his injuries. He grimaced and touched his back: thankfully, the thorns had blocked some of the damage. Although it wasn't an explosion like a fiery clone, taking a solid hit from that palm strike was still painful.

"Didn't you say that you would take advantage of Teacher Li's reluctance to use his strength to carry out the plan? But that fireball attack was clearly aimed at keeping me bedridden for a few days. If I hadn't defended it in time, I would have been incapacitated by now. Are you sure he won't use his strength against us?"

After listening to Qi Yu's words, Zhao Ran shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know what Teacher Li is thinking. Although the process was a bit bumpy, the result is good. Our plan is going smoothly so far, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yu turned to look at the side. Zhou Xi was holding her staff out with both hands, and a large amount of magical energy was flowing into her body, causing her mage robes to flutter without wind.

Seeing Qi Yu and Zhao Ran looking at him, Zhou Xi nodded, indicating that they could launch an attack at any time.

"Let's begin, Zhou Xi. My Thorns are about to give out," Zhao Ran said after seeing the other person nod.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xi changed her staff from being held horizontally to vertically, and then, under her control, slammed it into the ground. Instantly, a magic circle enveloped the entire Thorn Forest.

"Forbidden - The Calamity of the Styx"

As soon as she finished speaking, a dark green crack suddenly appeared in the very center of the magic circle, and the pale river water, carrying countless souls of the dead, crashed down like a waterfall.

The immense power instantly enveloped the entire "Thorn Forest." Wherever the River Styx passed, thorns withered, vegetation carbonized, rocks crumbled, and a vast forest was destroyed in an instant.

Accompanied by the sound of rushing water and the wails of souls, the pale waters of the Styx surged rapidly in all directions with ferocious force.

Seeing this, Qi Yu was about to fly away when he discovered that the river water could not escape the range of the magic array. The constantly rotating magic array in the sky was like a transparent barrier, and all the water waves that touched the magic array were bounced back.

In Qi Yu's view, the current situation is like looking at a washing machine, and Teacher Li, who is inside the "washing machine," is no longer visible.

Feeling the immense power of this magic, Qi Yu clicked his tongue slightly. He felt that if this attack were to hit him, even if he used all his trump cards, he might not be able to escape from the turbulent River Styx.

Fortunately, Zhou Xi's forbidden spell has a long preparation time, so in a real one-on-one battle, the enemy wouldn't give her any time to cast it.

"Done?"

Qi Yu asked subconsciously.

"Water can extinguish fire, so barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be successful."

Zhao Ran, who had already stopped channeling his magic power, stood beside Qi Yu, equally shocked as he watched the wide-range attack spell and felt its power. While answering Qi Yu's questions, Zhao Ran secretly observed Zhou Xi.

In fact, the three of them were all aware of each other's behavior of hiding their true abilities. When Zhou Xi said that he was a support player, the other two did not believe him at all. Qi Yu did not believe him because he still knew the other party's information through the system's identification.

Zhao Ran didn't believe it, entirely because of her title of "Black Witch." Unlike Qi Yu, a freshman who knew nothing about the academy, he knew the origins of the Black and White Witches. To say they only knew how to play support roles? Ha, who would believe that?

Therefore, he had long anticipated that Zhou Xi not only knew auxiliary spells, but also offensive spells. However, he did not expect the opponent's attacks to be so powerful, and he couldn't help but raise his danger level in his mind.

"It's not over yet."

At this moment, Zhou Xi's cool voice interrupted their conversation.

Qi Yu was stunned: "No way? Nothing happened? Didn't you say your attack was comparable to a 4th-tier spell?"

Before Zhou Xi could answer, Zhao Ran said, "She's right. Look at the teaching assistant and the apprentices around you. They're not flustered at all, which means Teacher Li is fine. Let's get ready to continue fighting."

After hearing this, Qi Yu glanced around and, sure enough, the guards watching over the four sides and the teaching assistant leaning against the door all looked calm and showed no signs of panic.

Qi Yu could only sigh in response, then looked at Zhou Xi and asked, "How much longer can this last?"

"Ten minutes max."

After listening, Qi Yu nodded, then said to Zhao Ran, "Hurry up and get back into shape. Victory or defeat depends on this final move."

After saying that, he sat cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes and began to recover his magic power. Zhao Ran looked down at his empty hands and then remembered that his magic book was left inside. Looking at the surging river, he could only smile bitterly and then began to recover his magic power as well.
