nBased on the huge whale that was levitating in mid-air, Tristan immediately knew.

nThe enemy’s general, Joey, had arrived!

nTristan immediately changed his target and ordered his Black Tortoise to continuously fire shelsls at him!

nBoom! Boom! Boom!

nHowever, the Giant Whale’s defense was extremely sturdy. Even after taking several shots, it had taken no damage at all!

n“It’s probably a Stage 5 epic rank Battle Beast…”

nUpon hearing Tristan’s words, Joey laughed loudly, “As expected of an instructor from the academy, your judgment is very accurate!”

nAfter saying that, Joey leaped onto the roof!

nAll the Daemon Fang soldiers had also walked over.

n“Tristan, I’ve always admired your level-headedness. Submit to me, and in the future, I’ll let you manage the City Hall…” Joey did not immediately launch an attack, instead, he attempted to persuade him. “And that great beauty? I also have very important things for her to do…”

nSeeing Joey’s lewd smile, Tristan decided to answer his question with a cannonball!

nEven after a round of bombardment, Joey’s Giant Whale still had not received any damage.

nIts defensive power shocked Tristan.

nJoey frowned. “Your answer is very unsatisfactory!”

nThen, the tail of the Giant Whale began to move!

nThe massive beast possessed enough force to crush the surroundings buildings into pieces!

nHad it not been for Tristan’s quick reaction, the twenty over students on the Black Tortoise’s back would likely already have met their demise!

n“Instructor, I’m out of mana!”

n“Me too…”

nMost of the students present were similar. Their Battle Beast were gradually disappearing.

nHobrick and Jacques were nowhere to be seen. As such, it was up to Tristan to defend the students!

nAfter settling the students in a safer position, Black Tortoise then fired several more cannonballs at the Giant Whale.

nOnce it had found a suitable location, it then activated its ultimate skill Condensed Light Spell!

nSome quick-witted Daemon Fang soldiers had noticed Tristan’s intentions and they immediately urged their Battle Beasts to attack!

nThe other instructors knew that Tristan needed time to charge the attack. As such, they forced their battered bodies to stand upright and go against the Daemon Fang soldiers.

n“Quick, stop him!” Joey knew that the move was very powerful. Joey immediately ordered all of his subordinates to shield his Giant Whale for him!

n“You’re too late!” Tristan shouted.

nThe powerful Condensed Light Spell shot out from the Black Tortoise’s abdomen and attacked Joey!

nEveryone present covered their eyes subconsciously! The light was extremely brilliant!

nBoom!

nAn earth-shattering explosion followed, and the Giant Whale had taken the brunt of the attack for more than 20 seconds!

nThe smell of burnt flesh hung in the air.

n“Success!”

n“As expected of the Condensed Light Spell!”

nThe instructors celebrated.

nHowever, Tristan knew that there was no way that a Stage 5 epic rank Battle Beast would go down that easily.

nBefore long, the Giant Whale took to the skies again, and Joey had come out completely unscathed from the whale’s mouth.

n“You won’t have a second chance to use your ultimate skill…”

nJoey looked at the charred body of the whale with a displeased expression.

nAfter receiving a telepathic message, the Giant Whale’s body began to tremble!

n“Goodbye, everyone!”

nThe whale opened its huge mouth again and spat out waves of seawater onto the ground!

n“Take cover!” The Daemon Fang commander immediately reminded his subordinates to find a place to hide.

n“All of you, head into the Black Tortoise!” Although he did not know what was the reason, Tristan had a bad premonition. He hurriedly ordered the students and instructors to enter the Black Tortoise’s cabin!

nVery quickly, countless icicles descended from the sky!

nThe area was so large that it occupied the entire federation’s campus!

nOnly after the icicles descended did Tristan realize how sharp they were!

nEach icicle was as tall as an adult, and one of it had pierced an instructor who did not enter the cabin in time.

n“Gack…”

nHe died immediately!

nOne of the icicles had also scraped Tristan’s leg before he managed to enter the cabin!

nWorse still, his legs gradually turned into a shade of purple!

n“It’s poisonous!” A teacher with a medical Battle Beast immediately went forward to perform a bloodletting therapy on Tristan!

nHowever, due to the number of icicles that descended from the sky, Black Tortoise was unable to withstand their impact, and before long, it was blasted into the ground!

nJoey was very pleased with himself. He put his hands on his waist and shouted, “Hobrick! You old fart, come out and face me!”

n“I’m right here…” An old man’s voice appeared behind Joey, on the back of the giant whale!

nBefore he had managed to turn his head around, Joey was suddenly attacked by several barbed vines!

nHe quickly jumped into the air. Then, the Giant Whale swallowed Joey!

n“This old fart acts exactly like the rumors! He likes to launch sneak attacks!” Joey roared in anger!

nThe whale’s body shook violently in an attempt to make Hobrick lose his balance!

n“Principal, be careful!”

n“All of the whale’s attacks are wide-ranged attacks!”

n“You’ve only just recovered, don’t push yourself too much!”

nAlthough those were Tristan’s words, as Jacques and Locke had yet to appear, Hobrick was the only one who could fend off Joey!

n“Don’t worry, kid. Take everyone to a safe place. I’ll fend him off…” Hobrick stated.

nWith a nod, Tristan then ordered his Black Tortoise to bring them to a safe location.

nJoey had no intention to chase after the small fries. In that moment, he only had eyes for the principal — Hobrick!

n“Your big guy is rather impressive…” Hobrick’s tone was polite, but he was already readying an attack with his three remaining elemental beasts!

nAlthough his opponent was a Stage 51 Battle Beast, Hobrick’s Battle Beasts were all at Stage 7. Moreover, he had three of them!

nHe was not the slightest bit afraid of his opponent!

nHowever, as the Giant Whale possessed extraordinary defense, it still remained in the air, even after taking several hits from Hobrick!

n“Do you know that my Battle Beast’s defense is the highest within the Holy City?!” Joey was not afraid of Hobrick’s Battle Beasts. Instead, he seemed to be rather confident.

nThis made Hobrick somewhat puzzled.

n“Don’t think that I’m afraid of you, old man…” The Giant Whale’s body began to tremble, as if it had received an order.

nSeeing that the other party was launching another attack, Hobrick immediately ordered his ice elemental to transform into a battle armor to cover his entire body. He also ordered his wood elemental to form several tree walls to block whatever attack was coming!

nMeanwhile, he ordered his water elemental to be on standby, so that it could launch a counterattack if needed!

n“Come! I’ll let you have a taste of my three-element defense skill!”

nNoticing that the old man had taken a defensive stance, the corners of Joey’s lips then contorted into a sinister smile!

n1 The author constantly switches between Stage 7 and Stage 5. After considering how Old Man White’s Battle Beasts are only at Stage 1, as well as Locke’s Stage 2 and 3 Battle Beasts, I’ve decided to stick with Stage 5 instead. By the same thought process, I’ve also decided to bring Hobrick’s Battle Beasts to Stage 7 instead of Stage 9, as the power gap would feel too huge otherwise. This might change in the future though, depending on whether the author has finally made up their mind on the characters’ power levels.
