The Dust Settles

After a few minutes, the tsunami subsided, but the waves had flooded many buildings along the coast, causing great economic damage.

But the destructive power of this forbidden spell didn't end with the retreat of the seawater.

The light blue energy ring that was constantly spreading still carried terrifying energy as it swept toward the sky above Bo'an City.

If it wasn't because the forbidden spell was cast 20 kilometers away from the city, the moment it was activated, the full energy ring would have been enough to blow all of Bo'an City into the air.

But even though a lot of the energy had dissipated, the remaining energy ring still spread toward the city at an extremely high speed.

…

On a mysterious mountain at the back of Leyton Academy…

Several teachers and teaching assistants were looking at a barrier that was continuously appearing at a visible speed and immediately revealed surprised expressions.

"Dean, the barrier has been repaired."

"Yes, after using so many energy stones and repair materials, we've finally repaired the barrier. Our work was not in vain. Everyone's twenty-four hours of continuous work was not in vain."

Looking at the barrier gradually enveloping the entire Leyton Academy, Huo Shan was full of relief. "Alright, everyone, let's go back and rest. We can start informing the students to come back to school in the afternoon."

Huo Shan immediately planned to leave the mountain.

The teachers and teaching assistants also walked toward the school happily.

But suddenly, the ground trembled, instantly arousing everyone's vigilance.

Looking at the lush forest around them, all the teachers had ugly expressions. "Did… did something happen again?"

Huo Shan's face trembled slightly, as if he was recalling a bad memory.

A shock wave visible to the naked eye suddenly attacked from the sky.

In an instant, it shattered the barrier that had yet to close completely.

Bang!

The barrier that had just been repaired and perfected turned into countless fragments as it shattered like a mirror, completely dissipating in everyone's eyes.

Without the protection of the barrier, a cold wind filled with a salty smell immediately wreaked havoc on the mountain.

Countless trees were blown into the air.

Hair fluttered and beards trembled.

Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched the energy ring disappear into the distance. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

"F*ck!" A miserable and mournful scream immediately echoed throughout the entire mountain.

Even a few thousand meters away, a few teachers guarding the entrance of the mountain couldn't help shrinking their necks.

At this moment, Dean Huo Shan's emotions were even more sorrowful than those of the teachers and teaching assistants who had been busy for half a day.

He had a mental breakdown and even had the urge to cry.

The repair of the barrier had cost the school a lot of development budget, but it was shattered in the same way as before in less than ten seconds.

This kind of blow was simply worse than killing him!

Yesterday, he had just reported the disaster to the city lord and planned to apply for a portion of the subsidy.

But just as the barrier was repaired, another forbidden spell suddenly struck and caused the barrier to disintegrate again. It was simply devastating!

It also prevented the academy from carrying out normal teaching!

A teacher ran over with her phone and whispered into Huo Shan's ear, "Dean, could the forbidden spell that suddenly appeared this time be the same sir from the mine yesterday?"

Looking at the video on his phone of seawater flooding coastal buildings, Huo Shan shook his head with a gloomy expression. "That's impossible. Forbidden spells are the most powerful of all skills and spells. No matter how strong a person is, it's impossible for them to master both water and fire forbidden spells at the same time!"

Looking at the waves wreaking havoc in the city, the teacher immediately said unwillingly, "Then, what if that big shot is a powerful Beast Tamer or even… a Dragon Tamer?"

She felt that it was already very strange for a third-tier city like Bo'an City to have two forbidden spells cast in two days. How could two Archmages who could cast forbidden spells appear at the same time?

"Dragon Tamer?" When Huo Shan heard the conjecture of the teacher beside him, his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately thought of the only Dragon Tamer in Leyton Academy, the student named Su Ce.

Huo Shan had a very deep impression of this student.

Not only had he called this student to his office to talk, but he had even given him an admission ticket to the mine in the western suburbs.

He thought about how Su Ce had taken a few days off from school and that he had also been to the mine in the western suburbs.

For a moment, Huo Shan even felt that the two forbidden spells might be related to Su Ce.

But the next moment, he overruled this idea.

Su Ce had only awakened for three days, and he was probably not even Level 5. He was only a novice Professional who had not even become Rank 1, so how could he cast a powerful forbidden spell independently?

"It can't be him." He shook his head and threw this unrealistic thought to the back of his mind.

Now that it had already happened, it was useless to care too much or even be depressed.

The most important thing now was to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible.

The impact of this matter was relatively big. Not only did he have to tell the city lord the entire matter, but he also needed to report it to the provincial capital.

They would come to investigate the area where the two forbidden spells had erupted and who had cast them!

While Huo Shan contacted the relevant authorities in the provincial capital…

Su Ce, who was dozens of kilometers away, welcomed his harvest!

The light spots floating up from the seawater drilled into his body one after another.

In an instant, his experience bar was filled and turned a dazzling red.

[Prompt: You have gained a total of 112,000 experience from kills.]

[Prompt: Because you have not completed the Class Advancement Quest, you cannot level up, and all experience will be saved.]

The notifications in front of him kept popping up like bamboo shoots after the rain. For a moment, Su Ce was a little dizzy from the large amount of information.

But he didn't care too much about the experience now. Instead, he looked nervously at the restless sea.

He slid down the Blue Dragon King's smooth tail and called out loudly, "Meng Xi!"

But there was no response from the sea full of ruins.

When Su Ce thought about how Meng Xi's life was in danger because of the tsunami he had caused, his expression immediately became one of self-blame.

He had promised her that he would protect her safety.

With this thought in mind, Su Ce immediately decided to jump off the Blue Dragon King. No matter what, he couldn't leave Meng Xi behind.

But just as he was about to jump into the sea, the Blue Dragon King floating on the surface of the sea let out a soft cry. "Woo…"

He raised his head, exuding a noble aura.

His wings flapped slowly, dispersing the surrounding sea breeze.

The next second, a translucent sphere suddenly floated up from under the sea.

Su Ce's eyes widened as the translucent sphere rose.

He immediately recognized it.

Inside the floating bubble, Meng Xi was lying on her narrow boat with her eyes closed.

The bubble seemed to have protected her before the tsunami arrived. Her clothes were not even soaked.

"Hmmm." The Blue Dragon King breathed out two streams of white air and rubbed his head against his master, who was standing on his tail, seemingly asking for praise.

He seemed to be saying, "Master, look at how powerful I am!"
