, or Liù Dào," the hermit said. "He is more skilled than I in the art of transforming souls.""Rest assured, he is equally trustworthy."With the explanation reaching this point, the Wang family of four...Cao Tian's body was swelling increasingly, his muscles taking on a grayish-white hue that wasn't of this world. They were as hard and unyielding as stone.

At the same time, his appearance also underwent a drastic change, transforming from an ordinary student's face to a strange one with deep-set eyes and a sharp jaw that protruded forward.

From afar, Cao Tian resembled a large grey gorilla. No one would have mistaken him for a human.

"Aw..."

Cao Tian let out a long, mournful cry and charged again towards where Ji Feng stood.

Ji Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then extended both hands, pinching out a dharma seal, and then brought his hands together.

"Bang!"

When Cao Tian was about to rush to Ji Feng's face, the rock under his feet suddenly exploded.

Cao Tian's inflated body flew to the side.

Ji Feng's face was grim, his left hand clenched into a fist.

On his left middle finger, he wore a ring set with tiny blue sapphires.

The sapphire shimmered.

Then, Ji Feng stretched out his hand and pulled in the air, a staff appearing in his hand.

The staff is about a meter long, with a star emblem at the top, also embedded with a blue gem.

This is Jifeng's exclusive staff.

Cao Tian crawled up from the ground, his mouth stretched wider, his eyes bloodthirsty, and charged at Ji Feng again.

"Element of Fire, Awaken!"

Ji Feng took a step back, his right hand gripping his staff, and extended it forward.

The sapphire at the top of the staff blazed with a brilliant light.

And then, a ball of crimson flames appeared before the staff, hurtling toward Cao Tian.

The fire dragon darted through the air and slammed straight into Caitian's body.

Cao Tian extended his two incredibly strong arms, crossing them in front of him to forcefully block the fire dragon. He even held it back, continuing to walk towards Ji Feng!

A chill ran down Ji Feng's spine.

The flames conjured by his magic are incredibly hot, capable of melting even steel!

Even Cao Tian used his body to withstand the attack!

This indicates that Cao Tian's physical body strength has reached an extremely terrifying level!

"Keep going! While I'm in the mood to play." Cao Tian grinned mischievously, crossed his arms in front of him, and then flung them open suddenly.

"Bang!"

Fire Dragon Dispersion!

Cao Tian took a big stride, came to Ji Feng's front, and blasted out another punch.

Ji Feng's face changed slightly, and he stretched his staff forward.

A five-pointed star seal materialized before the staff, instantly blocking Cao Tian's punch.

"Bang!"

The Dharma Seal shattered once more.

"A mage I'll show you! Let's see how many punches you can withstand!" Cao Tian laughed bloodily, raised his fists, and launched a fierce assault on Ji Feng!

Ji Feng's face was grim.

As a mage, the most taboo thing is to engage in close combat with the opponent.

Moreover, his opponent Cao Tian's physical strength had reached a terrifying level.

Ji Feng loses his ability to fight after being hit once.

"I am the four-star mage Ji Feng, currently on a mission at Huaibei Nandou University. The target, Cao Tian, is stronger than expected and requires immediate reinforcement!" Ji Feng silently recited the incantation, using his mental magic to send this message back to headquarters.

After the sentence was uttered, Ji Feng grabbed his staff and, using all his knowledge, formed defensive talismans at lightning speed to withstand Cao Tian's attack.

But Cao Tian's attacks became increasingly fierce, with each strike containing a power that climbed steadily higher.

Ji Feng's energy within his body is limited.

Under such a passive situation, he would soon be unable to hold on any longer.

"Boom!"

Cao Tian roared and punched out again.

The dharma seal shattered instantly! But it didn't completely withstand the might of this punch!

"Pffft!"

Ji Feng was struck heavily in the chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling backward.

Cao Tian walked step by step toward Ji Feng, saying with a playful tone: "Continue Why don't you continue Great master."

Ji Feng struggled to raise his head, his mouth filled with blood, staring blankly at Cao Tian.

Cao Tian walked two steps to Ji Feng's front and said condescendingly, "So-called order, it turns out to be so weak... You want to arrest me like this Haha..."

Cao Tian laughed at the heavens, but his laughter soon came to an abrupt end.

He sensed that a presence was rapidly approaching.

"Stop fooling around, Wang Rang! Get down to business!"

At the same time, a voice reached Cao Tian's ears.

Cao Tian's heart skipped a beat, realizing he had wasted quite a lot of time on Ji Feng.

The core of the earth has been found, now the top priority is to take the immortal king's heart and burn it!

Cao Tian calmed down, kicked Ji Feng away with one foot, and then turned to run towards Qinshou Lake. He jumped into Qinshou Lake and rushed rapidly to the bottom of the lake.

After two seconds, a figure fell from the mid-air.

It is Fang Yu.

This lakeside path is now strewn with debris.

Everywhere were gaping fissures and splotches of blood.

Fang Yu turned his head and saw Ji Feng lying on the ground, coughing up blood.

"The Order's true objective must be different from what it appears to be," Fang Yu mused.

Where is the target going

Fang Yu turned to look at the lake.

The lake surface is very calm at this time.

But Fang Yu knew the other party had already submerged into the lake.

"What's in this lake Why jump in" Fang Yu frowned, thinking to himself.

After a moment's thought, Fang Yu turned and walked towards Ji Feng who lay on the ground.

At this point, Ji Feng was mortally wounded and on the verge of death.

His sternum was shattered into multiple pieces, and his right shoulder had been completely broken by Cao Tian's kick just now.

Upon seeing Fang Yu approach, Ji Feng's eyes flickered slightly.

"What was that person trying to get by jumping into the lake" Fang Yu asked.

Ji Feng was still wary and did not answer Fang Yu's question.

At this moment, footsteps sounded behind Fang Yu.

Ye Shengxue arrived and, seeing the situation on the ground and Ji Feng's injuries, her expression changed.

"Teacher Ji" Ye Shengxue hurried forward.

"Do you know him" Fang Yu asked.

"He's a teacher in our Literature Department, of course I know him." Ye Shengxue replied, then crouched down and asked, "Teacher Ji, how are you I'll have someone come over right away..."

"Don't... this can't be publicized," Ji Feng said with difficulty. "My companions will arrive soon, let's leave quickly."

Ye Shengxue was completely baffled and didn't understand what Ji Feng meant.

She always thought Ji Feng was just an ordinary lecturer, a mortal.

< It seems not >

"He is a mage, belonging to the Order organization." Fang Yu said.

"The Orderer..." Ye Shengxue's eyes flickered; she had heard this name before.

"He's lurking in Nandu University, he must be after something, and that something is now at the bottom of the lake, isn't it" Fang Yu looked at Ji Feng and smiled faintly.

Ji Feng's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't expect Fang Yu to know his identity, and even revealed his mission.

Who on earth is this kid

"What should we do now" Ye Shengxue was a little lost after learning about Ji Feng's identity.

"That person jumped into the lake, what was the reason What's in the lake" Fang Yu asked again.

Ji Feng hesitated for a moment before replying, "I don't know either... but he stood by the lake before and muttered to himself..."

Ji Feng repeated what Cao Tian had said.

“The treasure bestowed upon me by the king…”

"Wang"

Recently, the word "wang" has been frequently mentioned only by the Yan Yao I met last night and those people from underground. your Ancient Demon Star System…" Fang Yu said, "I can tell you that the name of that power is the Holy Court. They are incredibly powerful and their influence spreads across all planes of existence,...
