Just as Qi Yu was struck by the red dragon's breath, the worm scarf wrapped around his neck burst forth with a strong dark light.

The worm seemed to come alive, its armored legs trembling wildly, and its dozens of compound eyes began to glow red.

Qi Yu sensed the change in the worm scarf and looked down. He was immediately startled by the shocking sight. Before he could react, an enlarged, grotesque worm phantom emerged from the ground beneath his feet and spiraled upwards along his body.

A huge insect head coiled atop his head, stretching out its segments at will, its terrifying mouthparts opening and closing repeatedly at the head of the flames, hissing as if in a show of defiance.

At the same time, Qi Yu felt that the extremely scorching attack in front of him had suddenly lessened considerably.

Qi Yu looked up at the menacing phantom and sensed the changes in himself, knowing that the damage reduction effect of the Worm Scarf had taken effect.

In response, Qi Yu could only say: As expected of the academy's prized possession, even if it falls to ordinary quality, it can still generate such a grand scale and effect.

What he didn't know was that Zhou Xi, who was chanting a spell not far away, paused immediately after seeing Qi Yu successfully trigger the effect of the Worm Scarf. Then, her eyes gleamed with surprise as she said:

"Just as Teacher Liu said..."

Meanwhile, Teacher Li, standing in front, noticed the many unusual phenomena surrounding Qi Yu and looked at him with surprise, taking a closer look at him.

"This kid has quite a few treasures. The protective ornaments that can exhibit such extraordinary phenomena must be of a high grade."

As she spoke, she glanced at the ring on her hand, then looked at the shield in Qi Yu's hand, which was constantly emitting the sound of dragon roars: "This shield contains a strong holy aura, and it should be made of the holy ingots of the Holy Church. But the workmanship does not seem to be the work of the Holy Church. It's really strange."

Meanwhile, Qi Yu, who was struggling to hold on not far away, was unaware that he had already attracted the attention of everyone present. Whether it was the four people on the battlefield or the apprentices waiting around, they couldn't help but focus their attention on him.

Despite this, no one felt that this situation was inappropriate. As an exchange student from the Wood Element Academy, Qi Yu could be considered a prodigy, so it was normal for him to have some extraordinary phenomena.

At this moment, although Qi Yu had reduced some of the damage from the flames thanks to the worm scarf's damage reduction, the scorching fire elemental energy was like a persistent flame, constantly eroding his body as the two energies clashed.

The burns on his arms, which he had been trying to suppress, began to crack and bleed again under the constant clash of energy.

"Uh...Are you done yet? How much longer?" Qi Yu asked, turning his head to urge him while forcibly enduring the burning discomfort.

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Zhao Ran's eyes. Recalling how the other party had tricked him before, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. However, since the other party had the director backing him up, he had no choice but to slowly suppress his murderous intent.

"Hmph, you can't fight here. You'll see when you get to the Trial Grounds. I'll show you that my things aren't so easy to take."

Although he cannot openly retaliate against the other party at this time, he can still make them suffer a little.

So, Zhao Ran first pretended to look up at Zhou Xi, then, without waiting to see if Zhou Xi was ready, turned to Qi Yu and said:

"Hang in there! It should be almost over. This is the final push."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yu was taken aback. He sensed that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Just as Qi Yu was about to ask more questions, Zhao Ran's voice came from behind him again: "Don't be afraid, I'll cast a buff spell on you, hang in there."

After saying that, he actually raised his hand and threw out a series of buff spells in Qi Yu's direction.

Suddenly, various lights flashed around Qi Yu's body, displaying a dazzling array of red, white, blue, and green colors. Qi Yu sensed that most of these were healing spells with healing abilities.

Suddenly, Qi Yu seemed to remember something and hurriedly opened his status bar. Looking at his empty status bar, Qi Yu felt helpless.

This is because, as the wielder of the Muramasa demon sword, under the influence of its passive ability, any external healing effects are ineffective against him.

Qi Yu could only watch helplessly as a dark aura emanated from his body, blocking all the healing effects.

"Damn it!" Qi Yu cursed under his breath while defending, "This lousy effect is such a waste of time."

Fortunately, because the light emitted by the worm phantom was basically the same color as the light attached to the curse of the demon sword Muramasa, this situation was not noticed by the others present.

Zhao Ran naturally had no idea that he intended to make Qi Yu suffer. To this end, he used simplified chanting for all the buff spells he released, and the spells he released were all "castrated" healing spells. They seemed to be numerous, but in reality, only one-tenth of them were effective.

Seeing Qi Yu's pained expression, Zhao Ran assumed it was due to his reduced treatment dosage, unaware that his treatment had been ineffective from beginning to end.

At this moment, Teacher Li, who was standing not far away, frowned slightly upon seeing this situation. This stalemate was not what she wanted. Her original purpose was to let them get used to the feeling of being on the brink of life and death in advance.

However, judging from the current situation, the three little guys on the other side seem to have easily dealt with the "crisis" she brought.

Thinking this, she shook her head inwardly, and then took out a crimson crystal from her sleeve.

"I can't let you get away with this. You won't die anyway, but if you don't achieve my training objectives, that won't do..."

With that, she slightly tightened her fingers and crushed the crimson crystal in her hand. Then, guided by her magic, a stream of pure fire elemental energy entered the flaming dragon head that was currently wrestling with Qi Yu.

Qi Yu, who was defending nearby, was slightly taken aback. Then he felt the burning sensation, which had been reduced, return with a vengeance, and even become more violent.

If it weren't for the "Invincible Body" effect supporting him, he would have been blasted away by the sudden surge of elemental energy.

Despite this, although he did not retreat, the damage he suffered was real. Inside his body, his internal organs were like torches being lit, and his whole body was being scorched by flames. The pain caused by this made him groan involuntarily.

Although the pain is not as intense as the "Painful Curse" of the Muramasa Demon Sword, it lasts for a long time.

"Not ready yet?!"

Qi Yu cried out in a trembling voice, "We can't hold on any longer! I don't know what's wrong with this fire, it seems to be getting stronger the more it's consumed!"

Zhao Ran, standing not far away, stopped what he was doing, frowned slightly as he stared at the increasingly energetic fire dragon head, and muttered to himself:

"That shouldn't be the case. It's only at the peak of the third tier. After all that consumption, it should have been weakened by at least half, right? How come it's gotten stronger instead?"

"Could it be that this kid is deliberately putting on a show for us? He seems to be resisting the exhaustion, but in reality he's just putting in the effort without actually doing anything?"

Given Qi Yu's previous act of extorting equipment from him, Zhao Ran's opinion of him was naturally negative, and he couldn't help but think the worst.

But just as he was pondering, a burst of blue light suddenly erupted from Qi Yu's body. At this moment, the ice tortoise shell in his arms began to tremble slowly, and a light blue protective shield quickly enveloped his entire body, blocking most of the flames that were burning through the shield.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ran immediately realized that the ice turtle shell he had given Qi Yu had taken effect, which also proved that Qi Yu was indeed effectively resisting those attacks.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ran's expression softened a little, but he understood that although he could use some minor obstacles, he must not push Qi Yu too far. If the attack at this moment endangered Qi Yu's life, he did not believe that the other party would be foolish enough to continue resisting.

If the opponent stops at this moment, then the first person to face this sudden surge in attacks will naturally be himself.

The blue protective shield that had been triggered on the tortoise shell was a signal, a signal that there was no longer any time to delay. Therefore, he looked at Zhou Xi again and asked her:

"Zhou Xi, are you done yet? That fire dragon is acting strangely, we can't delay any longer."
