Chapter 182: Chapter 90: Difficulty Increases Sharply _2

Being a 5th Rank powerful expert, dealing with a 3rd Rank was naturally effortless. The seemingly robust skeletal frame of the large skeleton quickly disintegrated, and the brawny body shattered.

At the right moment, Long Kongkong launched his devouring domain, and a faint white flow of air visibly gathered towards him.

"Hmm, it seems easier to absorb after it has been shattered." Long Kongkong said in surprise, "Hmm, this feels quite nice. It replenishes a lot of my spiritual power."

As he spoke, Long Dangdang shook the Rising Spiritual Power Shield in his hand, and the Rising Spiritual Power Array Formation started once more, replenishing Long Dangdang’s spiritual power.

Without any hint of retreat, the other smaller skeletons that followed the large skeleton continued their brave charge, but were quickly eliminated.

The first 3rd Rank wraith was effortlessly handled.

But just then, a loud explosion appeared in the sky to their front-left. Immediately, a bright red firework suddenly bloomed, spraying a splendid rain of light.

Though all three were taken by surprise, Ling Menglu didn’t hesitate to wave her hand and say, "Let’s go!"

The levitation technique and weightless technique were activated, quickly carrying their bodies towards the direction of the firework.

When they accepted the second task, the military provided each team with a signal flare to help for emergencies. The targets of the rescue were the other teams. The firework just now was obviously a signal flare, indicating that a student was in trouble.

The three of them were confused, but could it be possible that lower rank wraith entities were able to bring trouble to the students of the Spirit Furnace Academy? At the very least, all of them had a Cultivation Level of 4th Rank and above, and they always operated in teams with perfect cooperation among all occupations.

No matter the situation, as classmates, they were obliged to respond swiftly to the rescue signal and quickly moved in that direction.

At the same time, Long Dangdang activated a scouting magic spell towards that direction.

The next moment, his expression changed somewhat.

"Many, very many wraith entities." Long Dangdang said gravely.

"How many?" Long Kongkong asked with curiosity.

Long Dangdang replied: "Too many to count; they’re everywhere. It seems like the wraiths are rampaging."

Indeed, when they crossed over two small hills, they saw a shockingly vast vista. The land in front was somewhat flat, and a big group of wraith entities was advancing from this area. Four students who launched the fireworks were gathered there, staring at the approaching horde.

Obviously, they were the ones who sent the distress signal. With this massive number of wraiths, a single team wouldn’t be able to handle it.

As Long Dangdang and his team arrived, three other teams joined them too. All together, there were five teams and a total of sixteen people.

At this moment, the wraith legion was roughly three to four hundred meters away from the slope where they were gathered.

The teams quickly converged. It must be said that being well-known had its advantages. Among the teams, only one was a team of first-years, and the rest were teams from the second and third years. However, everyone recognized Ling Menglu’s team. Seeing Ling Menglu’s team, everyone seemed to have a sense of relief.

Ling Menglu, together with Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong, approached the team who had initially launched the signal flare.

"What’s the situation?" Ling Menglu asked.

The opposing team leader stepped forward, saying, "We’re not sure either, we just arrived at this slope and found this scene. The direction these undead creatures are heading is towards our camp. There are five members in our team, I’ve sent one back to relay the message to the camp, and we stayed here to send a distress signal. Currently, these undead creatures seem to be relatively low-level and their speed is not very fast. This is a chance for merit! However, it’s not something we can handle on our own, so we were hoping to gather more students here. Perhaps we could snipe these undead creatures and buy some time for the camp, as well as earn more merits for ourselves."

Long Dangdang listened on the side, couldn’t help but nod silently. This was a second-year team, truly members of Spirit Furnace Academy. They were not afraid of the large number of undead creatures, they even had the courage to form a rational command and arrangement, also thinking of earning merits from the situation.

By now, leaders of several small teams had gathered and heard his description.

Ling Menglu looked at the others, "What do you all think?"

"We came at the right time, saving us the trouble of looking for a fight," said the leader of a third-year team.

"We’ll do as the Goddess commands," the first-year team decided without a second’s hesitation - she had been victorious even when competing against second and third-year students.

The other few small teams had a strong willingness to fight as well.

Ling Menglu looked over at the increasingly closer undead creatures, and said, "Alright, we will snipe them from here. Yet, we have five teams here, and if everyone acts individually, then we will not achieve our maximum efficiency. It would be best to coordinate our actions. Would you all be willing to follow my commands?"

The team leaders exchanged glances, after a brief hesitation they all nodded.

Everyone was from Spirit Furnace Academy, they had heard plenty about the legendary genius Goddess. She was a potential future reserve Sacred Legate and an exceptionally gifted individual who achieved impressive results in the previous practical examinations. There was no reason not to follow her commands.

"Alright, all knights, warriors, gather at the front and hold back the enemy. All mages come over here, fire specialty mages get prepared. If anyone can cast combination magic, let me know in advance," she said.

Within a few sentences, the positions and statuses of all sixteen students were clear.

There were four knights, including Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong, two warriors, four mages, two assassins, two summoners, and two priests.

The four knights and two warriors positioned themselves at the front, mages and summoners in the center, priests at the back, two assassins on both wings ready to reinforce at any time. Sixteen people quickly formed a complete formation.

"Kongkong, activate the rising spiritual power," Ling Menglu said to Long Kongkong.

"Understood!" Long Kongkong responded. His Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace activated, the devouring domain opened up, the close-combat fighters around him felt as if the air had become somewhat viscous. Long Kongkong held the Rising Spiritual Power Shield and shook it gently, activating the Rising Spiritual Power Array Formation, enveloping everyone within.

Everyone could immediately feel their previously depleted spiritual power starting to recover.

The mages began chanting their spells. This time around, Long Dangdang was not among them. Faced with so many undead creatures, he decided to save some spiritual power for emergencies.

While they were talking, a large number of undead creatures had already approached, and were only about three hundred meters away from them. Some long-range magic could already cover this distance.

Those walking at the front were mainly skeletons and zombies, of both 1st and 2nd Rank, swaying and staggering, not moving very fast. However, it could be seen that further back there were some taller undead creatures, some of which had not been seen before.

"Don’t rush, cast the spells when they are closer," Ling Menglu said. Meanwhile, she had already completed a Light of Blessing, covering everyone, and then began to cast Light’s Benediction. The second-year priest beside her looked at her casting speed and couldn’t help but feel like crying. Why was the gap between people so large? She had not finished casting her supporting magic yet, while Ling Menglu had already completed two, moreover, she herself was also at the 5th Rank!

"Mages, fire!"
