"Got it! Thanks for the heads-up!" Li Tianming adjusted his glasses, radiating cool confidence as he spoke to the girl Nan Ling had sent.

"What now? Are we abandoning the main camp?" Ouyang Chen asked.

"No! We take it—and fast!" Li Tianming declared.

"Fast?" Ouyang Chen frowned.

"We hold half of F Class’s forces. Taking the main camp will be easy. Then we switch to D Class uniforms, flank them from behind, and they’ll rout instantly!" Li Tianming explained.

"Right! Let’s move!" Ouyang Chen agreed.

"Li Zi, tell everyone to fall back immediately—especially Lin Ye! Run if they can’t hold!" Li Tianming commanded with effortless swagger.

"On it!" Li Zi sprinted off.

Meanwhile, on Lin Ye’s battlefield, a dozen D Class students approached. Their footsteps alerted F Class’s ambushers.

"Ahhh!" One D Class student triggered a trap, plummeting downward. Another lunged to grab him—but the moment he made contact, a jolt of current surged through them both. Electricity arced between their bodies, sending them crashing down.

"Hit ’em, brothers! Wipe them out!" Li Tianming roared.

Arcs of lightning rained from the sky, just like the Intermediate Magician-tier spell *Thunderstorm*. Half the D Class students collapsed, stunned. The quickest among them yelled: "Wu Pi, get backup! Li Xian, cast *Qi Yu*—drown them!"

"Yes, sir!" Two students split apart instantly.

"Switch to Plan B!" Li Tianming shouted at the first sign of water magic.

F Class students bolted into pre-dug tunnels, gathering beneath a thin layer of earth. Together, they unleashed fire spells at the tunnel’s support pillars. The pillars shattered—the ground caved in.

As D Class students tumbled into the sinkhole, disoriented, F Class emerged above them. Every one held a rock. The Intermediate Magicians were powerless at close range.

F Class began pummeling the D Class boys. The girls? Knocked out cold. The boys? Well… let’s just say F Class had some fun.

The brutality stunned the spectators and guest seats. Li Miao urgently turned to Ye Chen: "Stop them! People could die, Vice Dean!"

"Stop? They only used what’s in this forest. Relax—I won’t let anyone die," Ye Chen dismissed.

"Yeer’s amazing! Crush those D Class trash!" Ling Ling cheered, waving Lin Ye’s Q Class banner. The other three ignored her.

After their revenge, F Class stripped D Class’s green emblems. White-uniformed attendants carried away the boys in compromising positions, the unconscious girls, and the electrocuted students.

"Move out! That Wu Pi probably found backup. We can’t stay here," Li Tianming ordered.

"Yes, sir!" F Class chorused, exhilarated. After years of bullying, this victory demanded a roar.

Cut to Nan Ling’s position.

Hearing approaching footsteps, Nan Ling turned to her squad: "Ready, sisters!"

Xiao Hong unleashed a mist spell, thick fog swallowing the area. As D Class students prepared wind magic to clear it, Xiao Ji hit them with a sonic blast. D Class clutched their ears—wind spells fizzled mid-cast.

"Go! Sisters!" Nan Ling yelled. F Class’s female squad hurled fireballs—*Fireburst* spells. Dozens of flames streaked toward D Class. Several students fell, incapacitated. White-uniformed attendants rushed to rescue the burning.

As the mist cleared, only five D Class students remained, barely holding out. "Attack!" Nan Ling commanded.

F Class’s girls charged. A fierce clash erupted. Thirteen F Class girls fell—but they crushed the last five.

"D Class’s chances look grim now. Two-fifths of their assault force is eliminated," Mu Qi observed.

"Spot on, Senior Mu Qi! And… Senior Lin Ling?" Li Miao asked.

"Switch the feed to my world’s cutest Yeer now! I’m sick of watching trash and vixens!" Ling Ling protested.

"Ah… thank you for that insight, Senior Lin Ling! Vice Dean Ye?" Li Miao turned to Ye Chen, ignoring her.

"Not over yet. Yang Honggang’s current state… he’s no pushover. The outcome’s uncertain," Ye Chen replied gravely.

The other three exchanged glances. If the Vice Dean called him dangerous—just how strong had Yang Honggang become?

Even Ling Ling’s smile faltered.

After scrambling over rocks, Li Tianming and Ouyang Chen finally spotted the enemy base. Seeing the patrols outside, Li Tianming whispered: "Execute the plan."

Meanwhile, Yang Honggang’s rescue team arrived at the ruined battlefield. Spotting D Class’s green emblems planted in the dirt, veins bulged on his temples. He ROARED: "Lin Ye! Hiding like a coward?! Face me like a man!"

Silence answered him.
