Shock

Pfft.

Looking at Fang Xuan's righteous manner and his unyielding words, Ning Lanqing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This was the first time she had seen such a shameless person. She was clearly the one who snatched other people's demon beasts first, but in the end, she said that it was a chivalrous act.

The mages on the other side obviously did not pay for Fang Xuan's words. The leader's face was already as cold as ice, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

"Since you're so disrespectful, don't blame us for being impolite. Capture him!"

"I'm just afraid that you don't have the ability!"

As the leader gave the order, the other mages attacked tacitly. They raised their hands and were about to form a huge net to surround Fang Xuan.

The latter was already prepared. He did not dare to slack off in front of the few people with unknown strength. He raised his hand and summoned his Lightning Domain. The crystal clear net immediately melted like ice meeting fire. Soon, a huge hole that could accommodate a person appeared.

In the next moment, Fang Xuan had already passed through the gap and circled behind the leader. He gently pressed one hand on the former's snow-white neck, and on the other side, he summoned the Thunder Snake Earthworm to wrap around Ning Lanqing's side to prevent the latter from being surrounded by several people.

"One more move and I'll break her neck."

There was no hesitation in Fang Xuan's words. The mages looked at each other and retracted their internal energy.

Oh no… I've met a tough opponent this time…

"We don't want to be enemies with the Charming Water Academy. There's no such thing as priority on the path of cultivation. If you haven't recognized the difference, you can continue to chase after us."

After saying this, Fang Xuan held the leader hostage and slowly walked back to Ning Lanqing's side. He held the latter's hand and left the scene.

"I can sense your location. I'll let her go after you all use the teleportation array."

The remaining four mages looked at each other speechlessly. After a long time, one of them gritted her teeth and said, "Are we going to stop just like that?"

"What else can we do? We've encountered a tough opponent this time. This person's strength is far above ours. He even knows how to use a Lightning Domain skill. Let's go back first and tell the dean and the others about this in detail. I believe he won't let him go."

After a while, when he felt that the auras of the four of them had finally disappeared, Fang Xuan let go, indicating that she could leave.

The person in the lead quickly jumped away. She left a ruthless sentence and ran towards the teleportation array.

Fang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. This time, there was another grudge. He wondered if they would ever have the chance to meet again.

He hoped that these ladies wouldn't hold a grudge.

"Hehe, as expected of my boyfriend. So very capable. Looks like I'll have to rely on you when I go out in the future."

Ning Lanqing winked playfully, and Fang Xuan was speechless.

"You've already subdued the demon beast. How can I obtain other materials?"

The former immediately turned her face away, looking harmless.

"I just couldn't help but capture it. Can you bear to see such a weak high-level demon beast die in vain? Besides, you're my boyfriend. This will also be your help in the future."

Fang Xuan hurriedly waved his hand.

"Cut it out. Don't talk about your boyfriend and girlfriend all day long. You look so mature. Now, you should give me the medicine that attracts the divine worm, right?"

He was not interested in the materials of this water-type demon beast. At most, he would exchange them for some money or be Lan Yu's medicinal dregs. Insect-type beasts were his number one combat strength.

Ning Lanqing curled her lips in disdain.

"How unromantic. As if you're so mature. Here you go."

As she spoke, she threw a bottle of blue potion to Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan was a little stunned when he saw the potion. Then, his head started to swell.

He opened it and sniffed it. There was no mistake.

Wasn't this the potion that the mysterious alchemist gave him?

Why did Ning Lanqing have a share too?

Other than the different packaging, the color, taste, and even the appearance were extremely similar.

"What happened?"

"Oh, no, nothing."

She couldn't tell Ning Lanqing this yet. The latter already had too much on her. She knew too much.

"It's mysterious. This potion was brought over by Father and the news of the demon beast. Apart from attracting the divine worm, it can also increase the resistance to water attributes a little. Moreover, it can allow non-water-type Beast Tamers to breathe underwater for a period of time. It's very precious. Don't waste it."

However, what was the identity of this alchemist? Could it be related to General Manor?

Obviously, even Lan Yu could not tell what the real use of this potion was. However, that person knew that she was coming to the island, but he still deliberately gave her the potion that could attract the divine worm. What was his motive?

With these questions in mind, he walked silently with Ning Lanqing at the edge of the island where the waves were crashing.

Fang Xuan had already decided that when he returned to the academy, he would definitely investigate the background of this mysterious alchemist. His identity was definitely not simple.

Seeing that Fang Xuan was in a daze along the way, Ning Lanqing didn't know what went wrong. Could it be that he was frustrated because he couldn't get any benefits from subduing the beast? But in Ning Lanqing's heart, Fang Xuan didn't seem to be this kind of person… Seriously, at worst, she could just give the beast to him! What a petty person.

The two of them walked forward with their own thoughts. Soon, they arrived at an island in the middle of the sea.

This was the hinterland of the entire island. The entire center seemed to have been artificially hollowed out, revealing a huge lake-like scenery. Countless seaweed and corals could be vaguely seen at the bottom of the lake, and there seemed to be a figure drowning in it.

"What's going on? There's still someone with such a strange cultivation method?"

Ning Lanqing frowned slightly. Looking carefully, she only cried out in surprise after about half a minute.

"This… this is Senior Yu Binglu?"

"Fish? What fish? You mean she's not a human but a magical beast?"

Ning Lanqing rolled her eyes at Fang Xuan.

"I'll say that you're short-sighted. This person is Senior Yu Binglu from the second year. Back then, the vice-principal and two deans of the Charm Water Academy personally came to poach her at a sky-high price. Our academy didn't even give her face."

Fang Xuan raised his eyebrows. "Oh? There's such a thing."

The fact that the Charming Water Academy had used such a huge price and formation to poach her meant that this woman in front of them must have something extraordinary.

"Of course. Senior Sister Yu Binglu is born with the Heavenly Arctic Ice Bloodline. Although she's born with the water attribute, she has the innate skill to transform the water attribute into the ice attribute. Her attack ability is naturally huge compared to ordinary water-type Beast Tamers."

Only then did Fang Xuan nod thoughtfully.

Indeed, in this day and age, it was difficult to make a name for oneself without talent.

Water attributes were often innate support. If one could transform water attributes into ice attributes that specialized in offensive methods, not only could it play an unexpected role, but it could also formulate different combat methods.
