Chapter 38

......

As the bus drove through a vast expanse of wilderness outside the city, a series of mountains and forests soon came into everyone's view.

The forests were lush and deep, with dense foliage and overgrown weeds nearby, and distant peaks staggered with thick clouds.

"Did you see that? The solitary mountain is Snow Peak Mountain. It is also the boundary point of our Bo City. The Snow Peak Mountain Post Station is located in the valley between Snow Peak Mountain and that Thunderstorm Screen," Luo Yunbo began to introduce to the students.

"Our Bo City is still a medium-sized city. If it were a first-tier city like the Great Magic Capital, the Great Imperial Capital, or the Great Demon Capital, their boundary points wouldn't be called post stations or small forts," said Coach Pan Lijun, whose hair was only as long as a finger.

"Speaking of which, since you often deal with demons, you must be mid-level mages, right?" Wang Sanpeng asked.

"Mid-level?" Pan Lijun glanced at Wang Sanpeng and coldly said, "How could mid-level mages come to lead a bunch of brats like you?"

Wang Sanpeng was unhappy when he heard this and muttered, "So you're just beginner mages, there's nothing to be proud of."

Wang Sanpeng was typically blunt, and after he said this, the two coaches exchanged glances and smiled, clearly finding Wang Sanpeng's words too childish.

......

The bus continued into the mountains, driving for a good half day.

During this time, Mo Fan was not idle. He had been meditating at the back of the bus.

He had a special connection with the bus; the last time the seven stars of the Thunder Imprint were completed was on a bus.

This time, Mo Fan felt that his Fire Element seemed to have touched something.

The Mud Eel Pendant was equivalent to a Star Dust Magic Tool, significantly increasing Mo Fan's cultivation time. A year had passed since the annual assessment, and Mo Fan found that during this year, not only had his Star Dust become more brilliant and vast, but the stars within the Fire Element Star Dust had also undergone some noticeable changes.

Previously, the stars' light was intermittent, but now they emitted a steady glow.

It was said that once the stars underwent a significant transformation in their light, the magic energy they could transmit would become more substantial, and the effects and power of skills would also be enhanced!

He had spent the entire second year of high school improving this.

He didn't know what kind of power a higher-level Fire Nourishment would have, but he was really looking forward to it!

......

Finally, they arrived at the Snow Peak Mountain Post Station.

Although it was called a small fort, it was not a simple village. The post station was flanked by steep cliffs on both sides, which were over a hundred meters high, and one had to look up to see the sky.

The cliffs on both sides formed a natural barrier, and the valley path was locked by two massive stone gates at both ends, making the entire post station a fortress town nestled in the valley.

"This is the Snow Peak Mountain small fort. It is said that except for flying demons or high-level demons with strong climbing abilities, this Snow Peak Mountain fortress town can block most of the evil spirits from entering the Safe Zone. Since the establishment of the Snow Peak Mountain Post Station, we haven't heard any reports of demons harming people in the Safe Zone for several years," Zhang Jianguo said as he got off the bus, looking at the massive guardian stone gates with a sigh.

"Teacher, I heard that these guardian stone gates were made by our Bo City's famous Earth Element Mage and builder, Zhang Yuheng, and that mid-level magic and below cannot move them?" the female top student Zhou Min asked curiously.

"Yes, the stone gates may look a bit old, but in fact, their sturdiness is no less than steel," Zhang Jianguo said, walking in front with a flag of Group Three, like a tour guide leading a group of students through an ancient city.

Soon, the other four groups' buses arrived, and a hundred top students from Tianlan Magic High School gathered under the massive stone gates.

There were sentry posts on both sides of the stone gates. One of the military mages, who was not in uniform, was leisurely playing with a flame in his palm. The small flame, like a well-behaved pet, danced flexibly on his fingertips and occasionally circled around his body, looking elegant and wondrous.

Mo Fan noticed this and was secretly amazed.

From this small fire trick, it was clear that the other person was much more skilled than he was. He wondered if this uniformed military brother's Fire Nourishment would be more powerful.

"Hey, Chief Zankong, why are you on duty here today?" Luo Yunbo looked up and smiled at the Fire Element Mage who was playing with the flame.

"Nothing to do, I heard that a group of high school girls would be coming today, so I came to take a look," the man named Zankong said without hiding his intentions, smiling.

Zhou Min, however, frowned, as she could feel that the mage named Zankong was staring at her.

"Wow, he's so handsome."

"Right, right, he's much better than the brats in our school, so manly."

"And he's very honest."

A few of the girls in the class couldn't hold back and started chattering.

"Little girl, don't frown at our Chief Zankong; he's one of the few strong ones here," the female deputy coach Pan Lijun, who usually didn't show much favor to the students, said, her words revealing admiration for Zankong, who had a small beard.

"Zankong, I've heard of you; aren't you the Fire Mage with the highest demon slaying record at the Snow Peak Mountain Post Station!" Zhang Jianguo immediately looked up and said loudly, "Long admired, long admired."

"It's just a few demons, nothing special," Wang Sanpeng said.

"Indeed, it's nothing special. At first, I refused when Deng Kai asked you students to come here for training..." the handsome man with a beard, Zankong, said.

"The alert period from a year ago is over, and there won't be any problems now. As mages, you ultimately need this experience; you can't delay it just because of the alert from a year ago," Zhang Jianguo said.

"I don't mind, just make sure the students don't wander around. I don't want to see such delicate and beautiful girls being torn apart by a one-eyed demon wolf," Zankong said with a laugh.

Zhang Jianguo smiled awkwardly.

The other person was a true expert, and even as a teacher, he couldn't do anything about his flirting with the girls.

The alert from a year ago?

Mo Fan had heard his aunt Mo Qing mention this, but since he spent most of his time in the ivory tower of the school, he knew very little about the terrifying events that had occurred outside.
