Everyone who looked at the red-haired man and his distorted face could tell that he was obviously in a state of madness.
The Evening Moon Vine climbed onto the red-haired man’s waist, having a firm grip on him.
After trying twice and not being able to break free, he became even more frantic. He raised his head and shouted loudly, and his hands clenched into fists, the muscles on his arms bulging.
Bang—
He actually broke apart the Evening Moon Vine’s firm branches.
Even Liu Ran was shocked. He suffered a blow, vomited blood, and fell to the ground. He pulled his brows together in pain. He put aside his Evening Moon Vine and launched the Boulder Flower to protect himself.
Liu Ran could hardly save himself. He could no longer use the Evening Moon Vine to help others.
Li Danming’s Armor-Piercing Beast flinched, not daring to move forward.
If not for Chen An, who deployed Dou Buxiang in time, using the same method as the red-haired man to destroy the Extending Zone, Li Danming might be beaten and expelled directly.
The red-haired man was still yelling madly, and his Berserker Wolf also roared loudly.
“There are actually such students in De Yuan?” One could not tell whether the teacher meant it as a compliment or a derogation.
But it was obvious that he was much more knowledgeable than others and knew what was going on with the red-haired man.
The red-haired man suddenly leaped up, curling his index finger into claws, long and bright red nails appeared, and he made a grab at the others.
Five beams of red lights flashed. They were dazzling fast.
Even the teacher, who had experienced many battles, failed to respond in time, was caught by the red-haired man. There were five red marks on his shoulders.
However, the teacher appeared to be calm and did not seem to be in pain. “Given such madness, perhaps he has completely lost his sanity?”
The red-haired man’s behavior could be called the “state of madness”. This was a very special situation, which usually occurred when one’s beast was not as good.
This was especially so for aggressive Combat Beasts that had ways to obtain more powerful attacking abilities, such as talent skills. When the skill was activated, the Combat Beast itself, or the Beast Tamer, could not control and suppress it well.
In such a situation, the Beast Tamer and the Combat Beast would fall into a state of madness.
Just like what happened now, all the red-haired man needed to do was avoid being beaten and expelled. However, he looked as if he was going to kill someone.
This was undoubtedly making it more difficult for Chen An. On the one hand, he needed to help Li Danming, but on the other hand, he needed to ensure that he was not being expelled and to stop the red-haired man, making him wake up from his state of madness.
“Slow-up Stab!” Chen An used silver feathers to break through the Extending Zone, creating a path for Dou Buxiang.
Dou Buxiang rushed toward the Aqua Leopard, bowing deeply. There were two neat rows of spikes that were obtained through integrating with the Stone Mythical Snake.
Originally, the Stone Mythical Snake would only use its spikes to petrify the opponent after entangling the opponent, and therefore temporarily preventing the opponent from moving.
However, when it was integrated with Dou Buxiang, the spikes could be separated from the body. The two rows of spikes suspended in the air, getting ready to attack.
A silver feather quietly passed through the air, and the blue lines of the Extending Zone were all cut off rows by rows. This was like a muted guqin[1] with broken strings.
The spikes followed closely, and they were all stuck onto the Aqua Leopard’s body.
The Aqua Leopard groaned and could not even flop, completely losing its combat effectiveness.
After settling the Aqua Leopard, there was someone even trickier—the red-haired man!
He was desperately throwing himself onto the teacher, launching vicious attacks on him.
The teacher himself had a weird temper. Now that the red-haired man entangled him for a prolonged period of time, he grew even more impatient. He did not care to show mercy. Instead, he clamped the Berserker Wolf’s neck and slammed it hard to suppress it. Then he raised his leg and kicked the red-haired man away.
Scarlet blood flowed from the red-haired man’s red eyes. There were two streaks of blood on his cheeks, which looked horrifying.
“Spirit Rainbow!” Chen An rushed over immediately after defeating the Aqua Leopard.
The two horns on Dou Buxiang kept flashing rainbow lights like the Spirit Rainbow Deer.
The rainbow light shone on the teacher and the red-haired man. The bloody mark on the teacher’s shoulder was the first to heal. Perhaps the teacher had thicker skin, or it could be the result of the Spirit Rainbow skill, so the injuries healed instantly, and there was no visible scar.
However, things were not looking so good for the red-haired man.
He covered his eyes, screamed in agony, and curled up as if he was suffering from great pain.
Seeing that he was in agony, Chen An immediately made Dou Buxiang stop its Spirit Rainbow.
The teacher rested his hand on Chen An’s shoulders. “Is that your skill? Keep using it. It will help in suppressing and comforting him.”
Chen An was puzzled, but after some thought, he was after all the teacher and had no enmity with the red-haired man. He must have said that to help him.
Dou Buxiang understood and ran to the red-haired man, emitting its rainbow light at him through its two horns.
It did not take long for the red-haired man to really calm down. He lay on the ground, motionless. Chen An took a closer look and only felt relieved after confirming that he was still breathing.
The people outside were frightened upon hearing the commotion inside. They went into absolute silence.
They had done their homework way before this and knew that the teacher would generally show mercy so that the students could pass.
However, after hearing the commotion inside, it seemed that someone was dying in the first group.
In the room, the teacher sighed. “Oh, I am getting older. This is just an introductory battle, and it ended up in this manner. It seems that in the future, it will be your stage.”
Li Danming stuck his head out. He was thankful that he managed to survive.
Liu Ran said proudly, “Teacher, rest assured, we will perform well in the future.”
Chen An kept quiet. He was well aware of the situation.
“Next group.” The teacher made a gesture, telling them to go to the back and wait. In other words, they had passed.
After everyone expressed their gratitude, they carried the red-haired man and moved to the back.
They waited a long time, but no one knocked on the door.
The teacher stood in the middle of the room and began to pace boringly, sighing helplessly from time to time.
After hearing how Chen An and his group shouted and yelled in the battle, the group of people outside were having second thoughts. They did not dare to enter. All of them hoped that another group would go first before they decided what to do next.
After waiting for a long time, a few girls appeared.
“Hey, why are you dilly-dallying? Can you hurry up? We have waited for so long at the back. If you don’t wish to challenge, we will go ahead.”
“Don’t waste time speaking to them. We are not in a queue, and this is not according to a first-come, first-served basis.”
A girl in a red dress was already standing at the door. She knocked gently on the door with the back of her fair hand.
The person on the other side of the door eagerly opened it. Chen An saw the red dress and immediately recognized who the person was. It was Lin Yingxue.
The other three girls in her group were also in the same dormitory.
When Lin Yingxue took the first step, she met Chen An’s eyes.
Chen An winked at her, and there was a warning look in his eyes, telling her not to relax her vigilance and to react in time. This teacher liked to spring surprises, and the assessment began from the moment one entered the door.
Sure enough, the girl far behind was still trying to politely close the door when the Aqua Leopard gathered its energy again.
