"Hey, you guys..."

Baixiangtian was about to say something, but I patted her shoulder and said,

"Don't worry, we're not fools either."

Then I pointed up to the sky.

"Summoning isn't just for the enemies! Come forth, Arcane·Ice Ship!"

After saying that, the sky darkened once again, and a massive ice battleship emerged from the clouds, charging towards the fire giant!

"Who are you people? Fire giant, hold your ground!"

Upon hearing the man's words, the fire giant roared and raised its hands to catch the descending ice battleship. However, the ground beneath its feet began to sink slightly!

But, where did it say that the ice ship was only meant for collision?

"Fire!" I commanded.

The cannons on the ice ship started firing simultaneously, and countless ice projectiles fell onto the giant, causing it to groan in pain and slowly crouch down!

"It's impossible!"

"Hmph, you shouldn't just focus on your giant alone!"

A red light flashed, and the man surrounded by fire emitted consecutive cracking sounds!

Aliyah stopped and turned to face the man, clicking her tongue.

"You, how can you have so many shields!"

"Arcane·Burning Sky!"

A gigantic pillar of flames shot up from the sky, the scorching fire coming towards us head on!

"Hmph!" Bai Yueguang stepped forward.

"Secret Ultimate·Jukai·Sky Splitter!"

After a flash of the blade, the incoming heat wave was split in half! Simultaneously, Taishi Xi, wielding twin halberds, rushed past him!

"Ultimate·Azure Dragon Dance!"

The dancing halberds instantly tore the man into pieces, but he turned into a flame and flew away!

At the same time, his giant let out a cry of anguish, completely overwhelmed by the ice ship!

Thinking of escaping, huh?

I chuckled and spread open my angel wings!

But just as I was about to chase after him, a blue light shot out from the ground, piercing through the flames in mid-air!

The flames twisted in the air for a moment before dissipating.

Battle over.

Eliminated Fire Tianzhipan, the Fire Giant.

Obtained teammate experience: 8000.

Bai Yueguang leveled up, reaching level 35.

Aliyah leveled up, reaching level 28.

Taishi Xi leveled up, reaching level 34.

Mary Stopes leveled up, reaching level 37.

We all silently looked towards Ms. Mary at the back of the team, only to see her holding a weapon that wasn't her previous magic gun. It was a sniper rifle fixed on the floor with five stands...no, this caliber could almost be called a cannon, right?

"One-shot, one kill!"

Ms. Mary made a V sign with her hand.

"You actually stole the kill!" Aliyah transformed back into her humanoid form and complained.

"This is called utilizing one's special abilities," Ms. Mary nonchalantly shrugged.

"Well, at least we earned experience and leveled up. Let's not dwell on it."

"Hmph, can someone at level 35 understand the feelings of someone at level 28?"

"What's there to be afraid of? We're in a team, you know. No matter what boss we face, we'll take it down together and get the experience points."

"You guys...are amazing!"

Bai Xiangtian looked at us in awe.

"To think that you could eliminate a demon in less than ten minutes. Just how strong are you when you combine forces?"

"Yeah, what was that amazing attack just now? You actually cut through magic with a sword! What style of swordsmanship are you using?"

Haida Qianben asked Bai Yueguang.

"Well..."

Bai Yueguang scratched his head.

I guess he couldn't really say what style of swordsmanship he was using. He probably learned whatever he could.

"Oh, I didn't mean to impose. Please don't mind my question."

Qianben seemed to think that Bai Yueguang was unhappy with her question and quickly explained herself.

"Alright, alright. In any case, it's good that the demon is defeated. But how do we clean up this mess?"

I pointed to the aftermath of the battle on the ground.

"Well... I don't know..."

"Our academy will take care of the expenses!"

Before Bai Xiangtian could finish, someone nearby spoke up.

I turned to look and saw a person wearing a black hanfu with golden trim, sporting white hair, and emanating an aura that made me feel fearful.

This person is...

"Principal, why are you here?"

"If I don't come when there's such a commotion, then I wouldn't be worthy of being a principal. But to think that all of you from the Western Continent managed to subdue this demon so quickly, I am truly impressed."

Du Tianren

Master Craftsman LV 78

Neutral, steady, talented, pure master craftsman, formation master, Tianmu Academy principal, ultimate master, Grand Completion stage

What a terrifying level. This guy is obviously just showing off. Given his level, defeating that demon just now would have been a piece of cake for him.

"Master Du is just joking. There was no need for you to personally intervene in that battle just now."

Ms. Mary quickly interjected.

At a time like this, it's best to let the teachers communicate. I have no interest in wasting words.

"Not at all, it's the younger generation surpassing the older generation. But enough talk, since this place has become like this, why don't you all come to our academy for a meal? Our chefs are just as good as any restaurant outside."

"Thank you for the offer."

After saying that, Ms. Mary nodded at us and followed him.

However, at the same time, I sent a message to everyone.

"Be careful, the person who attacked just now was also a participant in the auction. I don't know why they suddenly launched an attack, so be cautious."

I sent this message because in addition to the battle report, there was another piece of information just a moment ago.
