Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 750 - 243: Acting Captain

Caught off guard, Qing Ya’s neck was slit open with a half-foot long gash that was deep enough to reveal bone, gushing blood like a fountain.

Qing Ya clutched his wound, blood flowing through his fingers, as he staggered and stepped back several paces.

A layer of ice swiftly formed over his injury, the bone-chilling Ice Magic Power seeping into his body.

If it weren’t for his Demon Beast Body being tough and resilient, that last strike would have decapitated him.

Yet what Qing Ya dreaded was not the strike itself.

What shocked him was the magic that rendered him immobile at the last moment.

That magic was evidently beyond any Qing Ya had known before.

Could it be, he had underestimated this group of people, among whom there was an even more formidable Mage hidden?

Qing Ya searched the crowd for that Mage who had attacked from the shadows.

His suspicious gaze swept over several trainees one by one.

Eventually, he focused on three individuals: Qi, Chen Lianlian, and Feng Tian.

Earlier, Qing Ya had secretly assessed the enemy and had already determined that among these more than thirty members of the Human Clan, Liu Tongtian and Lan were the strongest.

The remaining ones were the three Sky Mages who had used Advanced Magic before.

Among these three, who was it that had made the move?

Wary of the Mage lurking in the shadows, Qing Ya did not dare to act rashly again.

Without the Wolf King’s command, those young wolves also stopped their slaughter.

While Qing Ya hesitated, a strange beastly roar came from behind him.

Hearing that roar, Qing Ya spat.

He glared fiercely at everyone, "Consider yourselves lucky. C’mon wolf pups, let’s go."

Raising his head, Qing Ya let out a wolf howl that was deafening.

The remaining Blood Crystal Wolves orderly retreated, and in no time, the wolf pack vanished, leaving behind a field of wolf and human corpses.

From start to finish, the whole process lasted several hours.

Even though Qing Ya had left, the crisis was far from over.

All the trainees had weak knees and extremely unsightly faces.

With wolf corpses everywhere, most people had minor injuries; fortunately, there were not many with serious injuries. Compared to the others, the captains of the two teams were the most severely injured.

Lan rolled on the ground, pale as a sheet; at the last moment just now, she had dodged Qing Ya’s killing move, but was also affected by the close-range fighting spirit and suffered severe internal injuries.

Liu Tongtian was in even worse shape than Lan; he was hit directly in the chest by Qing Ya, multiple ribs in front of his chest were broken, and he was barely hanging on to life.

Although both Liu Tongtian and Lan were injured by Qing Ya, at least from the situation at that time, Lan managed to injure Qing Ya in the end.

In that respect, Lan came out on top.

Lan and Liu Tongtian were the most elite existences in the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, but in front of this Wolf Clan man who emerged unexpectedly, they appeared to be utterly outmatched.

Part of the reason for this was the pervasive Blood Evil Energy in the Dutian Beast Blood Realm, which eroded both their Magic Souls, greatly reducing their cultivation. Another reason was their rivalry; even at a critical moment, they were still internally conflicted.

Now both were seriously injured and could only watch helplessly.

The trainees from both sides were terrified, with one somewhat braver soul stepping forward.

"Senior brothers and sisters, the middle reaches of Dutian Beast Blood Realm are too dangerous, let’s get out of here."

The other trainees also wanted to leave early.

Liu Tongtian and Lan both remained silent.

This time, they had both failed in their responsibilities. If they failed to complete the mission again, after leaving, the two elders would surely scold them.

But in their current state, let alone leading the team, if they encountered another expert like Qing Ya, it wouldn’t just be about saving others—they wouldn’t even have a chance to save themselves.

Although Qing Ya was alone just now, that strange beast roar was undoubtedly made by his companion.

At this moment, neither Lan nor Liu Tongtian wanted to be the first to speak about leaving; neither wanted to be seen as the one backing down.

The Fourth Elder had said twenty-four hours, and even if they couldn’t save anyone, they had to stay in the Beast Blood Realm for a full twenty-four hours.

"Senior Sister Lan, let me take a look at your wound first," Yun Sheng kindly stepped forward, wanting to check Lan’s injuries.

She had just touched Lan’s hand when Lan grabbed her back, her eyes boring into Yun Sheng.

"You, take my place."

Yun Sheng was stunned for a moment, then understood Lan’s meaning—she wanted her to take her place and lead the team to complete the remaining rescue mission.

But why her?

In this team, when it came to seniority or cultivation, Yun Sheng didn’t rank at all.

The only advantage she had was that Yun Sheng was a famous doctor.

Yun Sheng had only met Lan twice, and neither of those times could be considered pleasant.

Lan was a genius with great strength, but her personality was something Yun Sheng could not compliment, and she always avoided Lan whenever possible.

"Thank you," Lan leaned close to Yun Sheng, whispering softly in her ear—a volume only the two of them could hear.

Although the voice was very low, Yun Sheng heard it.

She hadn’t expected this proud sister, like plum blossoms in the cold winter, to know how to say the word "thank you."

The duel between Lan and Qing Ya was only paused for a few seconds.

In the chaos of the moment, no one else noticed that Qing Ya was affected by a Space Prohibition Magic.

But Lan was aware of it.

It was thanks to that Space-time Magic that Lan had managed to survive, and even turn the tide at the last moment for a counterattack.

So, it wasn’t Lan who repelled Qing Ya; it was that mage who had secretly taken action.

Lan had once overheard the Great Elder casually mentioning that a disciple of the Dark Gold Master had learned a useless Forbidden Magic in the Magic Forest—Space Prohibition.

Lan had scornfully said at the time, what could a Space Prohibition that only lasts three seconds possibly do?

Unexpectedly, it was this insignificant three seconds that had saved her life this time.

Lan’s heart was filled with mixed feelings, but she did not forget the Fourth Elder’s instructions. After some thought, she finally decided to let Yun Sheng take her place as the temporary team leader.

Seeing Yun Sheng chosen as the team leader, several members of the team showed discontent.

Hearing Lan appoint Yun Sheng as the temporary team leader, Liu Tongtian could not back down even more. Clenching his teeth, he said, "Lian Lian, you take my place and lead everyone to continue the mission."

Chen Lianlian was secretly delighted upon hearing this.

"She’s not fit," Feng Tian stepped forward, it was impossible for him to follow Chen Lianlian’s orders.

"Feng Tian, this isn’t the Elite Camp; there are no elders to protect you here. Either obey the orders or scram," Liu Tongtian said angrily. He was seriously injured at the moment, but his commanding presence remained, and the trainees did not dare to openly defy him.

But Feng Tian was obstinate. He snorted through his nose and, without turning his head, walked away from the team.

He had always preferred to act alone; to him, the team was nothing more than a burden.

And so, the temporary team leaders on both sides were decided.
