Chapter 333: Chapter 333

"Li Mingyuan, what’s your profession? I’m a Blazing Flame Mage, specializing in flame attributes, my best skill is attack." Two members of another team, after sharing their journey with Xi Qianxue’s team for some distance, departed on their own.

Wang Cunfeng looked ahead. Deep within the forest, he could sense a lurking threat. There must be enemies nearby.

Li Mingyuan raised his head and gently replied, "I am an Array Master. Given enough time, I can challenge those of a higher level." As an Array Master, Li Mingyuan was very proud of his expertise.

That said, Array Masters need other people’s cooperation. If they lack enough time and have to confront an enemy head-on, their combat capability might not be very impressive.

"Ha ha, I never thought we’d end up forming a Mage combination. Let’s go, I can sense enemies up ahead. Let’s cautiously investigate." The two mages agreed with each other and headed forward.

Through conversation along the way, the two of them gradually came to know each other better.

After a while, they spotted a Black Brave Warrior guard post ahead. "Three, there are all of second tier. If they don’t notice us, I can obliterate them in one go."

"Second tier, huh? If we kill them outright, doesn’t that mean we can ascend to a Hunter’s rank?"

Li Mingyuan shook his head: "Indeed, a direct kill can allow you to ascend, but if you don’t kill enough, your star rating will decline. To maintain your star rating, you must meet the necessary requirements when breaking through the second tier. Otherwise, it’s better to give up ascending to avoid leaving a hidden danger."

"I didn’t know that, No wonder..." Wang Cunfeng seemed to have thought of something.

At this point, Li Mingyuan had found an appropriate spot and started laying his magic array. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽

Over thirty crystal coins disintegrated in Li Mingyuan’s hands and merged with the ground, creating a mysterious array. Inside it, Li Mingyuan inscribed numerous talismans, slowly chanting strange spells.

"Keep an eye out for me. If anyone rushes over here, help me block them."

As he spoke, Li Mingyuan began to release his magic power. The array on the ground emitted light, which continued to grow brighter. Eventually, someone on the Black Men’s side noticed something was off.

"What’s going on up there? You two, go check it out." The Black Men had never been attacked before, so they were quite relaxed on their turf. Seeing the light coming from the mountain, they didn’t associate it with a possible enemy.

They didn’t alert the Brave Warriors in their tribe but simply sent two people to investigate. The pair approached cautiously, fearing they might encounter a dangerous Magical Beast.

By the time the two men arrived at the source of the light, over a dozen minutes had already passed.

"There are White-skinned People, enemies are coming." The two cried out in alarm and charged towards the pair.

A hint of contempt flashed in Wang Cunfeng’s eyes as he pointed his magic staff, and a compressed fireball flew out. The fireball hit one of the Black Men and exploded instantly, killing him on the spot. The other Black Man was blown away by the explosion and struggled to get up—it seemed as if he had broken several bones.

This act of aggression immediately alerted the other Black Men. Those below finally realized that they were under attack.

"Are you done yet?" asked Wang Cunfeng, turning back.

"Done, thank you." Li Mingyuan responded calmly, and then pointed his finger towards the other camp. Suddenly, the array released a surge of grey-blue light, shooting up into the sky.

A gray-blue light circle abruptly appeared around the three Black Brave Warriors lying in the middle of the Black Men’s camp, trapping them and several others nearby.

Before they could react, a special force emerged, and the Black Men trapped inside melted instantly, just like candles in a flame.

Other Black Men, upon seeing this, were petrified—they had never seen such a horrible sight before.

"Heh heh, seems like I overestimated them. Their resistance and adaptability are really poor."

"Isn’t that right? These Black Men have been too comfortable living here for too long. Besides, their only enemies are the White-skinned People. There’s no way they could possess any magic defense capabilities." Wang Cunfeng laughed heartily.

With no second-tier enemies, they could finally unleash their full power. They were the elites of Capital University, after all. If they couldn’t dominate ordinary enemies of the same level, they might as well just die.

Fireballs were thrown one after another with no other skills utilized. Each fireball was more complicated than simple ones. Each time a fireball hit the ground, it exploded instantly, blasting out numerous small fireballs. When these small fireballs hit the ground, they also exploded.

The small fireball explosions were incapable of killing anyone directly, but they blew huge chunks of flesh off the Black Men’s bodies. The unlucky ones were immediately incapacitated. Every explosion was quite destructive.

Li Mingyuan didn’t stop either. With his already prepared array, he continued casting spells on the surrounding Black Men.

On the ground, grey-blue circles emerged one after another. With each appearance, as if cursed by a demon, everyone within the circle was immediately melted away.

Without a strong magic resistance, the Black Men basically had no defense against Li Mingyuan’s disintegration array.

When the two mages unleashed their full power and attacked ferociously, the scene they created left everyone speechless. Even if Du You had been there and witnessed this, he would probably have been dumbstruck.

The scene created by these two was even more drastic than what Du You could create himself.

However, they were, after all, the first-tier mages. After a while, they had consumed more than half of their magic power and had to stop. There weren’t many Black Men left. The two mages used minor spells to kill those still capable of moving. As for those lying on the ground unable to move, the two drew their swords and killed them one by one.

Lacking magic power, they had to resort to this method to conserve it. Du You had used this method before in the past, but now that his magic power had increased, he no longer needed it.

"We need to leave quickly. We have created quite a ruckus here, it will definitely attract more Black Men. Do you recommend any places?" Wang Cunfeng asked Li Mingyuan.

Without a second thought, Li Mingyuan pointed in a direction: "Let’s go that way. According to the analysis, the fewest number of people chased in that direction. If we cause a little chaos over there, it will make the Black Men here even more confused." As an Array Master, analysing the terrain was fundamental.
