“Ahhh!!”
As soon as they were teleported out, the student with the severed hand collapsed to the ground, letting out a blood-curdling scream.
His mouth and eyes were wide open, pupils contracted, and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.
His eyes were filled with terror.
Hearing the sound, Shang Lingkong frowned slightly and waved his hand calmly.
“Take him away.”
“Yes, sir!” x2
Two subordinates immediately responded and carried the student with the severed hand away.
The reason for Shang Lingkong’s calm demeanor was that he had seen it all before.
Even more gruesome scenes were not new to him.
This situation was nothing in comparison.
The only pity was that this student’s future was essentially ruined.
With a severed hand, he could only become an ordinary person.
Even joining the army was unlikely, as the military required able-bodied individuals.
As for the other academy representatives, each of them had experienced similar situations.
Every year during the assessments, such incidents were common, and they were no longer surprised by them.
Becoming a Spirit Tamer was inherently cruel.
If one never intended to become a Spirit Tamer from the start, it would be better to give up right away.
But these students were unwilling to abandon their dream of becoming Spirit Tamers.
Only Spirit Tamers could be considered superior beings.
Failing to become a Spirit Tamer meant a lifetime of mediocrity.
In the academy, influenced by their surroundings, how many students were willing to give up this shortcut?
…
Under the pitch-black night sky, inside a cave within the Secret Realm.
Ye Ling could already vaguely sense that demons were approaching, and they were very close.
If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the demon wolves from before.
“Howl~!”
At this moment, the roar of the demon wolves echoed.
With such a close sound, it was no surprise that the cave was now surrounded by demon wolves.
Blood Phantom also became extremely vigilant, her sharp claws suddenly extending from her hands.
They were like tiny swords.
“They’re here.”
Ye Ling’s eyes narrowed.
The arrival of the demon wolf pack was already within his expectations.
If these demon wolves were not dealt with, he wouldn’t be able to rest well tonight.
Sure enough, dark shadows began to appear at the entrance of the cave.
With the faint light, he could barely make out their silhouettes.
Pairs of eerie green eyes stared fixedly at the cave entrance.
Standing behind Blood Phantom, Ye Ling finally confirmed the identity of these demon wolves.
Shadow Demon Wolves, a pack-dwelling demon species.
Usually First Rank, Fifth or Sixth Level, with the leader at Seventh Level.
These Shadow Demon Wolves were generally two meters long and over a meter tall.
They exuded an oppressive aura.
At this moment, Ye Ling suddenly noticed that the Shadow Demon Wolves in the middle were looking to the sides.
A larger figure had appeared at the front.
Three meters long, slightly taller than the common Shadow Demon Wolves.
There was no doubt, it was a Shadow Demon Wolf, almost certainly the leader of this pack.
Due to the darkness, Ye Ling couldn’t count exactly how many Shadow Demon Wolves there were.
However, he was certain that there were at least twenty.
This was already a relatively large pack.
The leader of the Shadow Demon Wolves, standing at the front, held high prestige within the pack.
Without its order, none of the Shadow Demon Wolves dared to attack.
“Howl~!”
Moments later, the leader let out a deafening roar.
The surrounding Shadow Demon Wolves began to respond.
“Howl~!”
“Howl~!”
…
After the roar, all the Shadow Demon Wolves launched their first wave of attacks.
They knew the cave was narrow, allowing only one wolf to enter at a time.
Thus, the Shadow Demon Wolves charged one after another.
Blood Phantom, guarding the entrance, was like an impenetrable wall against the attacking wolves.
Each Shadow Demon Wolf that charged was sent flying back.
Each one bore several claw marks, bleeding profusely.
Each claw mark emitted a faint black mist.
Ye Ling, trapped in the cave, was not anxious or nervous at all; in fact, he was somewhat delighted.
He wasn’t nervous because the terrain was highly advantageous, easy to defend and hard to attack.
He was delighted because Shadow Demon Wolves, being dark-type demons, had a chance of dropping Dark Hearts and Dark Essence.
Perhaps this time, he could even gather the evolution materials for Blood Phantom’s next stage.
As for the battle between Blood Phantom and the Shadow Demon Wolves, Ye Ling wasn’t worried at all.
The difference in strength was clear; Blood Phantom was far stronger than the leader of the Shadow Demon Wolves.
Not to mention the common Shadow Demon Wolves.
The leader of the Shadow Demon Wolves, frustrated by the prolonged assault on the cave, grew impatient.
“Howl~!”
With a roar, the leader charged towards the cave entrance with incredible speed, despite its massive size.
The Shadow Demon Wolves in front were kicked aside one by one.
The leader didn’t care about its subordinates at all.
