Chapter 4, Sudden Change of Circumstances

Rest assured, with the combined abilities of the ten of them, they can certainly contend with the spirit transformation realm magical beasts. Even if they are unable to win, escaping should not be a problem.

There are so many transformation-level magical beasts, how is this possible? Wasn't it said that there are almost no transformation-level magical beasts in the outer regions? We have only encountered one spirit transformation realm magical beast in ten days. Could something have happened inside the Magic Cloud Mountain Range?

Zhou Huan and his ten companions will have two choices: to fight various magical beasts here for one month, or to kill five beasts at the Transformation Realm.

Zhou Huan and the four others stepped forward and greeted each of the six magicians one by one

Zhou Huan, you all come here, this is Teacher Wu from the Magic Academy, and his six students will accompany you on your training journey

Of course, how could my taste be poor? However, these few students of yours are quite good as well

True strength is forged through countless battles of life and death; a teacher cannot provide protection for a lifetime

Old Feng seems somewhat uneasy, but the path of cultivation is rarely smooth sailing; without experiencing any storms, one can never become a strong individual

Zhou Huan's feeling of unease grew stronger, so he completely unleashed his powerful soul, using his spiritual awareness to cover most of the surrounding area. He instantly discovered the reason for his unease

Let us go; as long as we do not encounter any demon beasts at the Transformation Realm, we should be able to handle it.

Of course, with each elevation in realm, one's strength can increase by dozens of times

I have learned some special techniques, which do not involve directly confronting them; rather, they allow me to escape and preserve my life in the presence of the divine beasts. For now, this is the only option we have; otherwise, none of us will be able to leave.

A few girls were chattering away, but Zhou Huan furrowed his brows, suddenly feeling a sense of unease.

This is the boundary between the Demon Cloud Mountain Range and the world of humans, as well as a sacred place for many disciples of humanity to undergo their training.

According to Teacher Wu, there is an agreement between the rulers of the Demon Cloud Mountain Range and humanity: human experts in the Nirvana Realm are not allowed to enter the outer regions, and similarly, the demon beasts in the Nirvana Realm of the Demon Cloud Mountain Range are also prohibited from entering the outer areas

Let us first understand each other's strengths and formulate a strategy to address any potential adverse situations that may arise

Zhou Huan and Liu Yue naturally became the main combat forces, respectively responsible for physical and magical attacks

Three swordsmen: Wei Wu assists Zhou Huan in the attack, Xia Ling, being well-versed in formations, is responsible for arranging and operating the formation, while Lin Yu, depending on the situation, can assist in either the attack or the formation.

How can we escape? With the speed of these transformation beasts, we simply cannot get away

It was not until the tenth day that they encountered a spirit-transforming realm magical beast

Zhou Huan did not have time to think so much; he needed to escape at the first opportunity. Within the range of his spiritual awareness, there were nearly one hundred transformation-stage demon beasts, sufficient to contend with Nirvana Realm powerhouses, far beyond Zhou Huan's current capabilities.

Alright, Lao Wu, please take them there. I hope they can grow up smoothly and become remarkable individuals in the future

Everyone felt that it was about time, and thus they officially entered the outskirts of the Magic Cloud Mountain Range

This time, you will be going to the outskirts of the Magic Cloud Mountain Range. Under normal circumstances, there are no Transformation Realm magical beasts in the outskirts; everything depends on your own abilities. Remember, do not enter the inner region!

Old Feng and Teacher Wu each gave them a magical talisman, which contains a magical mark that can sense each other. In the event that they become separated, they can rely on the sensing ability of the magical mark to find one another

Both the pure warrior and the pure mage have distinct weaknesses. The combination of a warrior and a mage represents the best synergy, significantly enhancing combat effectiveness and survivability

After Teacher Wu left, the ten individuals began to discuss the battle plan

The female magician named Liu Yue said that she and Zhou Huan, due to their superior strength, naturally became the leaders of the team

However, if there are no demon beasts at the Transformation Realm, it will not serve the purpose of my training. Zhou Huan thought to himself, yet he always felt that this time would not go so smoothly, sensing that something would happen.

Zhou Huan secretly praised that the team of magicians provided by Old Man Feng was indeed carefully selected. As a result, they truly possessed the strength to kill the beasts of the Transformation Realm.

Haha, it has been a long time since I last saw you, old Feng. You are looking more vibrant than ever, and your choice of students is becoming increasingly discerning.

The Demon Cloud Mountain Range is a renowned mountain range on the Tiangang Continent, named for being shrouded in a layer of demon clouds year-round, and it is home to a large number of various magical beasts

Zhou Huan furrowed his brow, quickly considered feasible methods, and soon made a decision

"In front of you is the Demon Cloud Mountain Range. Remember, you must not enter the inner region. If you encounter a Transformation Realm demon beast, flee immediately. Although normally there should not be any Transformation Realm demon beasts in the outer area, you must be cautious, as this concerns your lives"

It is evident that they have been good friends for a long time

Teacher Wu indeed has great confidence in them, but the one who is most confident is Zhou Huan

This is not feasible, as it involves nearly one hundred transformed demon beasts... and books...

It is precisely for this reason that the outskirts of the Demon Cloud Mountain Range have become a sacred training ground for the disciples of humanity and the beasts below the transformation realm, which is also the reason why Teacher Wu cannot enter to protect them

Additionally, when encountering completely unfamiliar teams, one should remain vigilant. The Magic Cloud Mountain Range is a sacred place for training, where many students from various academies come to hone their skills, and even academies from other countries will come here

Each of them has their own strengths. Although they are all at the Transformation Realm, if they coordinate well, there is still a significant possibility of killing a solitary beast at the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Hurry up! This is a big problem

According to the battle plan they had formulated in advance, they quickly trapped the spirit-transforming magical beast. With the alternating attacks from Zhou Huan and Liu Yue, it took quite some time to wear down and ultimately kill the beast.

I hope everyone has good luck this time, let's go

Alright, you may go now. Return here in one month, and I wish you good luck

Could there be magical beasts from the Nirvana realm appearing? According to what Teacher Wu said, it should be impossible, but what is this unsettling feeling?

Due to the close friendship between Old Man Feng and Teacher Wu, there was not much barrier between them, and they quickly became familiar with each other

Zhou Huan did not have time to explain further, directly inserting his consciousness into the souls of the other nine, allowing them to also see the massive army of magical beasts in the distance

The six students brought by the old man in the white robe include four at the Mortal Realm and two at the peak of the True Qi Realm, who appear to be on the verge of a breakthrough

Days passed one after another, and Zhou Huan and his ten companions continuously slayed some low-level magical beasts, honing the martial arts they had learned.

All nine were taken aback, their faces turning pale. With nearly one hundred transformed demonic beasts, it was almost impossible for them to escape given their strength

After a brief understanding, the operational and bibliographic plans were quickly formulated

It is impossible; how could there be so many transformation beasts? Under normal circumstances, it takes several years for a single transformation beast to appear

Three novice mages entering the realm of transformation: one fire mage assists Liu Yue in offense, one earth mage is responsible for the team's defense, and one water mage is tasked with supporting defense and healing

Regardless of the choice made, once it is completed, they will be able to return

After Teacher Wu finished giving instructions, he left

Old Man Feng and Teacher Wu solemnly conveyed the important points to ten individuals

Sister Yue, you take them away as quickly as possible; I will draw that group of monsters away.

Liu Yue looked at Zhou Huan with a strange gaze, clearly having discerned that Zhou Huan was concealing his true strength. Such a powerful divine sense could not possibly belong to someone merely at the Transformation Realm; there might be some method at play.

Zhou Huan decided that unless he encountered dangers that his team could not handle, he would only use the techniques learned in this world. Therefore, it is quite necessary to formulate a combat plan

On the side of Old Man Feng, Zhou Huan appears to be a peak-level swordsman in the Transformation Realm, while Lin Yu and Wei Wu are early-stage swordsmen in the same realm. There is also a girl named Xia Ling, whose strength fluctuates between the early and peak stages of the Transformation Realm. Zhou Huan has observed this girl several times and can only conclude that she has a mysterious power sealed within her.

There are six people on Teacher Wu's side, consisting of three males and three females. Among the three males, all are initial-stage transformation mages. One of the females, named Liu Yue, has reached the peak of transformation, while the other two females are at the peak of the True Qi realm.

His true strength has already reached the peak of the Transformation Spirit stage, and he can even contend with Transformation God-level monsters. If there are truly no Transformation God-level monsters in the periphery, then they pose no threat to him

Two Qi Realm mages, being the weakest in strength, possess almost no combat capability, and therefore are responsible for auxiliary magic, such as casting acceleration spells for Zhou Huan to enhance his speed

The Magic Cloud Mountain Range is not far away, and with Teacher Wu's formidable strength, they arrived quickly

An elderly man in a white robe saw Old Man Feng and approached with six students. He noticed that Zhou Huan and the other three had all entered the transformation realm, and he praised them repeatedly

However, he does not want to reveal his strength so quickly, as he is still too young, and causing a stir would be quite troublesome

Liu Yue was taken aback. Although she knew that Zhou Huan had concealed his strength, she could never believe that he alone could contend against nearly a hundred transformation-level demon beasts. Even Teacher Wu would feel pressured in such a situation.

Zhou Huan continuously practiced the sword techniques he had meticulously selected, known as the Nine Styles of Dominance. It is said that these techniques were created by an invincible powerhouse from the Sacred Realm. However, that powerhouse mysteriously perished after only developing the first six styles. As a result, this originally priceless set of sword techniques lost much of its value; otherwise, Zhou Huan would not have been able to acquire it so easily

The spirit realm magical beast is so formidable; this beast has been trapped in the formation yet has managed to hold on for such a long time

Over there, that is a training squad just like ours, and they were unexpectedly all killed by a transformation demon beast

Teacher Wu spent considerable time explaining to Zhou Huan and the ten individuals the areas that required attention, and presented them with a map.

Then, Teacher Wu cast a large-scale wind magic, directly carrying Zhou Huan and ten others flying towards the Demon Cloud Mountain Range

The nine individuals, aided by Zhou Huan's divine consciousness, witnessed some incredible scenes, causing everyone to appear extremely alarmed

Teacher Wu's expression was serious; this is not an exaggeration. Indeed, every year there are students who enter and never come out again

Throughout the years of trials, there have been many who have perished, as anything can happen in the Magic Cloud Mountain Range
