When I woke up, I entered Terraria?!

As time passed, the smoke slowly dissipated, and the figures of the four people in the room reappeared. However, only Teacher Li was standing, while the other three were either kneeling or lying down.

At this moment, Qi Yu was kneeling on the spot, with the Holy Cross Shield deeply embedded in the soil in front of him. He could no longer maintain his defensive posture, and his "super armor" effect had also disappeared due to the disengagement of the shield-holding posture. His whole body was swaying precariously, and he barely managed to stay upright by relying on the support of the shield.

Although Qi Yu still has the strength to support himself on one knee, his body is seriously injured. Because he was not far from the center of the explosion, the terrifying fire elemental energy hit him almost without any loss.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Qi Yu once again took out the Holy Cross Shield to defend himself and reduce some of the damage. Otherwise, although he would not have died because of the Ring of Mercy, he would have lost his ability to move almost instantly.

The two on the other side were in equally disheveled condition. Zhou Xi was leaning on his staff for support as he struggled to his feet. His face was pale, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his robes were tattered, revealing large patches of his smooth skin, giving him a pitiful, battle-worn appearance.

It must be said that, if you disregard her aloof personality, she would be considered one of the most beautiful women in the Wood Element Academy.

On the other side, Zhao Ran was holding onto the protective light shield with one hand while trying to stand up. His clothes were also tattered and covered in blood. The magic book that had been open in his hand was now in pieces, scattered all around.

Upon seeing the scene on the battlefield, the apprentices watching from the sidelines remained silent for a moment, like statues, before erupting into a frenzy almost instantly.

"No way, it hasn't even collapsed?"

"I can understand if those two on the edge can hold on, but that kid at the center of the explosion didn't even take a step back!"

"I need to check the license plate!" (French accent)

"It can only be said that these people truly deserve to be the aces of the Wood Element Academy."

…………

Seeing this, Teacher Wang, who was maintaining the protective shield, was equally shocked. He even forgot to remove the shield and stared blankly at the three people standing firm in the field, especially the one who was at the center of the explosion but remained upright.

Teacher Li was quite satisfied with this. Looking at their figures, she nodded repeatedly and said, "Hmm, very good. I originally thought that it would be good if even one of you three could stay upright, but I didn't expect that all three of you could hold on."

She then put her hands back behind her back and announced loudly, "You three have passed the second phase of training."

As soon as he finished speaking, Teacher Wang, who was standing outside the arena, finally came to his senses. He then retracted the protective shield with a hint of disappointment. Qi Yu and the others collapsed to the ground like deflated balloons.

The intense battle, coupled with the massive consumption of mana, especially for Zhou Xi, who had used forbidden spells twice in a row, had left her body extremely fatigued.

Therefore, after Teacher Li announced that they had passed, the three of them relaxed and immediately collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Seeing this, several apprentices responsible for healing quickly ran over, using magic to treat the three while sending them back to their dormitory.

...............

A few days later, in the exchange student dormitory.

"hiss………………"

As Qi Yu slowly tore off the bandages covering his burns, he grimaced in pain.

After several days of rest, the three had basically recovered, mainly thanks to the Fire Element Academy's supply of healing items, which consisted of drinking potions and taking herbal baths almost every day.

Unlike Zhou Xi and Zhao Ran, Qi Yu did not use any of the herbs distributed by the Fire Element Academy, because he was burdened by the curse of the Muramasa demon sword, and using them would be a waste.

However, even without using these healing items, Qi Yu's recovery speed was only slightly slower than the other two, which was entirely due to Qi Yu's own recovery ability.

He had discovered this long ago: his body's recovery ability was significantly faster than that of ordinary people.

He once thought that it was because his original owner's body was special, that he had some kind of bloodline or trait that could recover quickly, just like Xiao Feng's tree demon bloodline, which had a stronger affinity for natural elements than ordinary apprentices, and by a lot.

However, during his time at school, he searched through all the books in the library but could not find any record of a physique that could enhance recovery abilities.

This puzzled him greatly, and in the end he could only attribute it to the fact that he was a special person who had traveled through time.

However, in the past few days, he has discovered that when he wears the "worm scarf," his recovery ability has increased visibly. Injuries that would normally take three days to heal can be healed in just one day.

Qi Yu went back and forth, taking it off and putting it on several times, and finally confirmed that this was indeed the case.

But then another problem arises: the "worm scarf" doesn't have the effect of accelerating life recovery on the panel, meaning the root of the problem still lies in one's own body.

Moreover, this is very likely related to the Dark Element Academy that the scarf represents.

But he understood that this idea was merely speculation, with too little evidence to trace back to its origin. The truth was like trying to catch the moon's reflection in the water or searching for flowers in the fog—it was impossible to find.

But the only thing that can be confirmed now is that Zhou Xi, the Black Witch, Liu Hao behind her, and even Wu Yi under Liu Hao's command are definitely inextricably linked to the Dark Element Academy.

Qi Yu stroked the scarf around his neck, and the thought of escaping in his heart took root and sprouted quickly like a seed after the rain.

"Indeed, this is the simplest way to change the status quo. Rather than being manipulated and falling into unknown risks, why not step out of the game?"

However, the bonds of family and love bound him like shackles, preventing him from making the decision to escape.

“If we’re going to leave, we have to take them with us. Su Yuhong’s sister is still under Zhang Xu’s control, and Mom and her sister are still in the village…”

Qi Yu fiddled with the "worm scarf's" eyelids, thinking to himself: an apprentice can do too little. If he were a teacher, he could do much more. His immediate priority was to be promoted to teacher.

Thinking this, Qi Yu threw the dirty bandages aside and started wrapping himself in clean bandages again. Before long, he had wrapped himself up almost completely.

He did this to cover up his secret; even if the medication was completely ineffective, he had to pretend to be using it.

Moreover, doing this has another advantage: it can deceive others. When Zhao Ran saw that his whole body was wrapped in bandages, his expression was weak, and he looked miserable, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Since it was his own idea that caused the other party to suffer most of the damage, he was too embarrassed to bring up the matter of asking for the frozen turtle shell back, so he had to give up for the time being.

But that's just the surface reason. The main reason is that he recognized that Qi Yu's shield was made of holy ingots. At the beginning of the battle, he was covered by the light of the fire dragon and didn't see it clearly.

But after the battle, based on his own experience, he recognized it at a glance. In his eyes, this meant that Qi Yu might still have some connection with the Holy Church, otherwise he wouldn't have given him such a high-quality holy weapon.

Therefore, out of caution, he decided not to antagonize Qi Yu again. It was this caution that allowed him to avoid being sacrificed as a offering several times during his apprenticeship, and even to become a seed apprentice.
