A gift returned ten thousandfold: I am the number one licker in all realms!

Seeing the old man's stubbornness, the black bear spirit knew there was no way to negotiate. In that case, a battle was inevitable.

As they spoke, the black bear demon began to change its form.

The black bear spirit was tens of meters tall, with one of its feet even reaching half the height of a small mountain.

Such a colossal creature terrified the students of Canaan Academy; they had never seen such a monster before.

In their minds, even ordinary monsters weren't this big.

Seeing this, the dean couldn't help but take a step back, but he still stood firmly in front of him and didn't back down another step.

"Hmph, you monster, I never thought you could even cultivate a demon beast avatar."

"I really underestimated you."

"But it's good, it'll give this old man some time to hone his skills."

The Dean also grew larger as he spoke, although his technique was not as powerful as that of the demon beast's avatar.

But they also serve the same purpose in a different way.

The black bear spirit became interested when it saw that the old man had also grown larger.

Among the demonic beast races, the size of their bodies is a measure of their strength.

The more powerful the monster, the more powerful the surrounding creatures; some monsters are said to be over a hundred meters tall.

"Hehe, now you're showing some interest. The way you were just now really made me look down on you. In that case, I'll have a fight with you."

A battle erupted between the two sides instantly, their massive forms seemingly capable of causing the heavens and earth to shatter.

Their battle wasn't flashy or filled with dazzling light; it consisted only of runes and the most basic physical clashes.

And so, an ordinary physical collision seemed to shatter the heavens and earth.

The students of Canaan College, unaware of what was happening, thought it was an earthquake and dared not look up at the sky.

All the students were panting heavily, as if they were about to die.

"If only a great savior could come to our academy."

"Yes, you don't know, it is said that Luo Xing is the apprentice of the dean of our academy."

"But he achieved first place in the Alchemist Conference and is now a well-known figure throughout the continent."

"If only Senior Luo Xing could come back."

"Alright, alright, stop thinking about such good things. Luo Xing is a real big shot now, why would he care about our Canaan Academy?"

"Senior Luo Xing's brilliance has already illuminated the entire continent. He probably doesn't want to pay attention to us anymore. He probably wouldn't even speak to us if we ran into him."

"Hmph, I won't allow you to say that. Senior Luo Xing, Senior Luo Xing. But the person I met back then was an absolutely wonderful person."

For a time, the students had many different opinions, but none of them could figure out who this important person was.

Actually, less than three years have passed in general. Luo Xing's name has already resounded throughout the entire continent.

Several years have passed, and the students of Canaan College have changed several times over.

By this time, most of the students didn't know who Luo Xing was, let alone what he looked like. They only knew that several years ago, there was indeed an exceptionally brilliant student within the academy.

There is even a sculpture carved from Canaan Academy, which is also the face of Nalo Star.

Back then, Canaan Academy was at the height of its power, largely because of Luo Xing.

Luo Xing's prestige within Canaan Academy was at its zenith at the time; he was considered unparalleled in his popularity, and few could rival him.

However, it has only been a few years. So many years have passed, and most students have forgotten what Luo Xing looks like. Only some former students know how important the name Luo Xing was back then.

For a time, the two armies clashed fiercely, creating a scene of utter chaos and darkness. No one could understand the extent of their power, nor could they even imagine what would happen if the fighting continued.

But after less than an hour, the dean was already panting heavily.

Finally, without warning, he was hit by several punches in a row.

"Hahaha, you old codger, you look a bit old. I thought you were some kind of powerful figure, but it seems you're nothing special. If that's the case, you probably can't handle what I'm about to do."

"Hmph! Ugly monster, even if I die here today, I will never retreat a single step."

The fierce battle between the two sides left everyone in Canaan Academy dumbfounded, and they were all on tenterhooks.

Everyone knew that this was their last hope within Canaan Academy; if the Dean fell to the ground, they would all be doomed.

The Second Elder was sweating profusely, wanting to go up and help, but he knew that his strength was simply not enough to cause any trouble.

"Oh dear, what should we do? What should we do?"

"If we continue fighting like this, we're bound to lose. And if the Dean loses, we're all doomed."

This made the First Elder snort coldly, then look at the Second Elder, and finally face all the elders present.

"Gentlemen, over the years, Canaan Academy and the Dean have treated us quite well."

"I need to give you a heads-up now: if our Dean is really going to be defeated later, we must fight to the death to protect Jiangnan Academy and we will not back down an inch."

"Today, I, Jiangnan, make a vow: even if we are truly destroyed, even if this place is truly ruined by this stinking bear, I will never allow anyone to escape."

"We absolutely cannot let others see us as a laughing stock of Canaan Academy. We must live well while we are alive, and even in death, we must tell them that the elders of Canaan Academy are not cowards."

"Elders present, if you have any other thoughts, you may leave now. I will forgive and forget about you and will absolutely not hold you accountable."

"But if you desert your posts later, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll drag you down with me even before I die."

As the elder spoke, he looked at everyone, wanting to see who dared to desert their post and who was so shameless.

Over the years, the elders have received countless benefits. Now that disaster is imminent, if they don't run away, what difference is there between them and a dog?

He looked at everyone and, seeing that no one had left, quieted down a little.

Even so, he was still not optimistic about the current situation.

"Elder, what are you saying? We share the honor and disgrace of Canaan Academy."

"Even if we die, we will die in Canaan Academy."

"If you have any disloyal intentions today, may we never see each other again, may you be struck by lightning, may you be struck by thunder from the sky, may I be punished."

"The Second Elder is right."

“That’s right, I also support the Second Elder, and I also support the First Elder.”

The elders nodded one by one, all expressing their determination to fight to the death and to fight the black bear army to the very end.

Not far away, the Dean seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

The black bear spirit repeatedly raised its fists, but with a thud, the Dean collapsed to the ground!

The Dean's physical body had completely vanished, leaving only a faint trace of his aura. He seemed to be nothing more than skin and bones.

The dean collapsed to the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. He looked so weak that he seemed to be on the verge of death.

The Grand Elder rushed over and pulled the Dean out of the ruins.

"Dean, Dean, are you alright? Are you alright, Dean?"

The elder's eyes were filled with tears, and he seemed to be on the verge of breaking down. He didn't know what to do at the moment, never expecting that their dean would become like this.

The black bear spirit also retracted its towering form, finally transforming into a human shape and landing on the ruins of the Canaan Academy's main hall.

"Hahaha, you old codger, you're quite something. I didn't expect you to be able to supply me for so long. If it were an ordinary expert, I probably would have already shattered them into pieces."

"I must say, over the years, you are the first person who has been able to fight me to this extent."

"How about it? You old geezer, do you want to keep hitting me?"

"Now I must tell you, you are too weak to stand up now, and you probably can't withstand a few more punches from me."

"I reckon if I strike you a few more times, you'll be dead. I advise you to save your life and submit to me immediately."

Despite using all his strength, the Dean could not stand up. He could only stand up briefly before collapsing to the ground again.

"Dean, are you alright? Dean, are you alright? Please don't stand up again."

The First Elder looked at the Dean with tears streaming down his face, never expecting things to turn out this way.

"Dean, please rest. Leave the rest to us. We refuse to believe we can't handle this bastard."

"All the elders stepped forward and immediately formed ranks, ready to meet the enemy."

As soon as the words were spoken, the elders stepped forward one after another, weapons in hand, and began to unleash their auras, as if they were about to launch a large-scale attack and slaughter the enemy.

The combined attack formation practiced by these elders is their last trump card. If this last trump card fails, they will probably be doomed.
