139 The Feeling of Being a Teacher

Lin Sen picked up a red crystal core the size of a human head and held it in his hand to examine carefully.

“The energy contained in this crimson crystal core is even richer than that of the green crystal core. If I absorb and refine it, I can definitely increase my strength significantly,” Lin Sen calculated inwardly.

At this moment, Wu Hao rushed over. Seeing that Lin Sen was safe and sound, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, you’re fine. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to tell Teacher when I get back.”

Some other students also rushed over. “Lin Sen, you’re really amazing. You can even win against a Legendary-grade beast. I’m really curious how you cultivate!”

“Lin Sen, teach us. We also want to become experts who surpass the Legendary grade. I believe that if there’s a chance, we will definitely be able to become Legendary-grade powerhouses!”

Hearing the admiring gazes of his peers around him, a faint smile appeared on Lin Sen’s lips. He couldn’t help but reply, “I hope so too, but there’s no real talent in this world. I just rely on hard work and diligence. It’s just my good luck that allowed me to obtain my current strength!”

Hearing Lin Sen’s words, the students immediately felt helpless.

Lin Sen was right. How could there be so many geniuses in this world? Even geniuses had qualification issues. A genius like Lin Sen who could skip levels and defeat a Legendary-grade monster was simply one in a million.

However, although Lin Sen said that, the students were still filled with fighting spirit.

They knew that in order to be as strong as Lin Sen, everyone had to work hard, no matter who it was!

Wu Hao patted Lin Sen’s shoulder. “Alright, you should quickly get some rest too. We’ll be on guard for you during this period of time. We’ll reach the safe zone soon. At that time, we won’t have to face the attacks of these powerful beasts anymore.”

“Thank you.” Lin Sen nodded. He was indeed very tired. The battle just now had consumed too much of his stamina.

Lin Sen found a hidden corner and buried the Blazing Crocodile’s corpse at the side. Then, he lay in the grass and closed his eyes to rest.

At night, Lin Sen returned to his peak state. Wu Hao then led everyone to the safe zone.

Along the way, Lin Sen encountered three more waves of wild monsters, but none of them were as terrifying as the Blazing Crocodile. The strongest was only at Legendary III, and they were no threat to Lin Sen at all.

Not long after Lin Sen left, a Blazing Lizard that was half the size of the Blazing Crocodile swam here.

The Blazing Lizard used its tail to whip the Blazing Alligator’s corpse. It seemed to have sensed something and suddenly raised its head to stare at the Blazing Alligator’s corpse.

Then, white smoke came out of the Blazing Lizard’s nostrils. The corners of its mouth curled up slightly, as if it was sneering.

Roar! The Blazing Lizard roared at the sky. Right after that, its abdominal cavity bulged, and it leaped forward.

The Blazing Lizard’s sharp teeth bit down on the Blazing Alligator’s corpse. Then, it picked up the Blazing Alligator’s crystal core with its mouth and disappeared into the water. However, a long trail was left behind it.

After the Blazing Lizard left, a figure slowly appeared.

This was a thin young man. He was wearing grayish-black clothes and there were some stains on his face. He touched his nose and said softly, “The crystal core of the Blazing Alligator? I’ll remember you. When I successfully break through to the Sanctuary-grade, I’ll hunt you again!

“Heh, what a bunch of idiots. They only took away the crystal core. How would they know that the true value of the Blazing Alligator is its body?” The young man snorted coldly. He exerted strength in his legs and his entire body soared into the sky.

…

Lin Sen slept under a tree for a few hours. He stood up and stretched his muscles, preparing to head to the new safe area.

Roar! All of a sudden, an extremely violent roar resounded in all directions.

Lin Sen frowned. He looked in the direction of the sound and realized that there was a dense forest there. Moreover, the sound came from right inside the forest.

While Lin Sen was in thought, the roar gradually became impassioned.

A huge lion appeared in Lin Sen’s vision. On its back was a behemoth that resembled an ostrich.

The lion’s body was huge, nearly 20 meters tall. A lion of this size would be a big fellow in anyone’s eyes!

Lin Sen looked at the lion in the distance and muttered to himself, “It’s probably some kind of griffin beast!”

Although this appearance was rather strange, this griffin beast was not strong. It was only at Silver V.

Lin Sen did not intend to attack. Such an opponent was too weak. He could leave it to the students who came with him to practice.

Wu Hao naturally had the same plan.

Wang Yuhan knew that this was the best opportunity for her to practice. She attacked first.

With a wave of her fair hand, a sword beam flashed past, stabbing straight at the griffin beast.

Disdain was revealed in the griffin beast’s eyes. It opened its bloody mouth and spat out a burning pillar of fire that collided with the sword beam and instantly annihilated it.

The griffin beast wore a bloodthirsty expression, which made Wang Yuhan feel a chill in her heart. She hurriedly retreated and distanced herself, not daring to attack again.

When Wu Hao saw this, he could not help but shake his head. He knew that Wang Yuhan’s combat experience was severely lacking. She did not even know the most basic long-range attacks.

“This griffin beast is mine!” Zhao Peng shouted in a low voice and rose from the ground.

He held a short dagger in his hand and rushed towards the griffin. The dagger slashed through the air, emitting a violent wind-breaking sound.

Zhao Peng’s dagger was wrapped in the power of lightning and thunder. Clearly, he had already stepped into the ranks of a Lightning-elemental Mage.

The power of the lightning was extraordinary, instantly bombarding the griffin beast’s body.

The griffin cried out in pain before being kicked away by Wu Hao.

The moment Zhao Peng landed, he immediately used the [Speed] Skill and chased after the beast.

Although the griffin beast was injured, it was still a Silver V beast after all. Its reaction was extremely fast. It adjusted its body and quickly dodged Zhao Peng’s attack. Then, it roared angrily and spat out a ball of flames, charging straight at Zhao Peng.

Zhao Peng twisted his body agilely and dodged the burning fireball.

However, the griffin beast kept casting various spells. As it spat fireballs, it pounced at Zhao Peng.

Zhao Peng dodged non-stop. For a moment, the two creatures at Silver V were entangled.

On the other side, Li Yajing had also joined the battlefield. She was very fast and had been hiding behind a huge rock to observe the situation.

Seeing Zhao Peng fighting the griffin beast, Li Yajing chose to join without hesitation.

Zhao Peng and Li Yajing joined forces and finally suppressed the griffin beast.

However, at this moment, Li Yajing was not happy at all because, in the distance, an even stronger creature was slowly moving.

This creature was huge, several times larger than ordinary griffin beasts. Its entire body was covered in red fur, and its body was thick. There was a golden horn on its forehead that emitted dense hot energy.
