Standing beside Ye Ling, Blood Phantom’s eyes flashed with a red light, and she nodded almost imperceptibly.
At the same time, her hands lowered slightly, revealing her ten fingers, each tipped with nails as sharp as blades.
Taking a step forward, she pushed off with her toes and leapt lightly, directly pouncing towards the flock of Black Ravens.
“She actually pounced directly?”
Hong Xiu hadn’t expected Blood Phantom to leap straight into action.
During the previous assessments, Hong Xiu had confirmed that Blood Phantom lacked the ability to fly.
Especially when facing opponents with Flying Spiritual Pets, Ye Ling was often at a disadvantage.
But now, Ye Ling had let Blood Phantom act on her own, and she had pounced without hesitation, which was truly surprising.
Pouncing directly without the ability to fly—wasn’t that just asking for trouble?
Hong Xiu had even prepared a backup plan, ready to summon her own Spiritual Pet to rescue Blood Phantom at any moment.
However, Blood Phantom did not fall as Hong Xiu had anticipated.
Not only that, but Blood Phantom’s subsequent performance left Hong Xiu utterly astonished.
At this moment, Blood Phantom moved like a blood-red sprite, dancing gracefully among the Black Ravens.
With each step, she used a Black Raven as a foothold.
Her hands moved swiftly, her poison-laced nails easily slicing through the bodies of the Black Ravens.
Her movements were so light and graceful, it looked as if she were dancing in the night sky.
Especially under the moonlight, the scene was extraordinarily beautiful.
“This…”
Yun Yi was momentarily stunned by Blood Phantom’s graceful movements.
Why was there such a gap between people?
Her own Spiritual Pet was a sturdy and honest Frost Giant Bear, while Ye Ling’s was like an ethereal sprite.
Sensing Yun Yi’s odd thoughts, the Frost Giant Bear bared its teeth at the dancing Blood Phantom in the sky.
Of course, it only dared to bare its teeth now; if Blood Phantom were standing in front of it, it would have already cowered.
“This kid, who would’ve thought his Spiritual Pet could do all this.”
Hong Xiu shook her head slightly, the worry in her heart completely dissipating.
She put away the Spiritual Pet she had been ready to summon.
One by one, the Black Ravens, poisoned by the corpse toxin, found their bodies stiffening rapidly. Their once sharp eyes grew dull and cloudy.
As their bodies stiffened, the Black Ravens could no longer flap their wings.
In the end, they fell straight to the ground.
Although Blood Phantom didn’t have any wide-range attack skills, she managed to deal significant damage by leveraging the Black Ravens’ bodies.
“Big Bear, get moving! You can’t fall behind!”
Snapping out of her daze, Yun Yi shouted at the Frost Giant Bear in front of her.
Unbeknownst to her, the Frost Giant Bear had stopped attacking at some point.
Startled by its owner’s sudden scolding, the Frost Giant Bear roared and snapped back to attention.
“Roar!!”
It unleashed its Frost Breath once again.
For the heavy Frost Giant Bear, facing airborne demons, its only means of attack was this.
One couldn’t expect its bulky body to dance gracefully among the Black Ravens like Blood Phantom.
The moment it pounced, the ground would likely be embracing it.
Not only was the Vermilion Bird Academy’s airship under attack, but other academies’ airships were also engaging with the Black Ravens.
All the students were using every means at their disposal to launch full-scale attacks on the Black Ravens.
“Storm Hawk, Wind Wing Slash!”
Zhang Shengnan, seated behind her Storm Hawk, commanded it.
“Screech!”
With a pair of azure wings, the Storm Hawk flew forward at incredible speed.
Every Black Raven it encountered along the way was effortlessly sliced in half.
Compared to Zhang Shengnan’s Storm Hawk, Huo Xian’er was almost helpless.
Her Earth Azure Dragon had no way to attack airborne enemies; it was purely a ground-based Spiritual Pet.
Thus, Huo Xian’er could only stand on the lift platform, staring blankly.
“Sigh! Earth Azure Dragon, if only you could fly. Wouldn’t it be great to have a pair of wings?”
Looking at her Earth Azure Dragon, Huo Xian’er sighed heavily.
Although the Earth Azure Dragon was incredibly powerful, it was entirely ground-focused and utterly helpless against airborne enemies.
The Earth Azure Dragon let out a low, aggrieved growl.
Of course, it wanted to fly too, but it just wasn’t possible; its strength didn’t allow it.
With its weight, who knew how large a pair of wings it would need to lift off.
At this moment, Huo Xian’er turned her gaze towards the Vermilion Bird Academy’s airship, hoping to spot a familiar figure.
But then, she froze.
She saw a blood-red sprite dancing in the sky. With each leap, more Black Ravens fell.
