Next, Huo Yuhao repeated the process, illuminating one herb field after another. By the time the array in the last herb field was humming and operating steadily, the setting sun had already gilded the horizon with a golden-red hue.
With his work completed, Huo Yuhao approached the overly excited Elder of the Herb Field, pointed to the core medicinal herbs that formed the foundation of the array, and said in an unquestionable tone, "These herbs must not be touched; they must be protected!"
"Medicinal herbs grown along the pathways of medicinal properties are cultivated the fastest and have the best quality."
"Medicinal herbs located further from the distribution channels will be slightly slower to arrive and of slightly lower quality, but they are still more than three times better than ordinary medicinal herbs!"
"Furthermore," Huo Yuhao said seriously, "from now on, no one is allowed to cultivate near the herb fields! It would be best to establish a new school rule!"
"Waaaaah—waaaah—!"
Just as Yan Hao was clamoring to lead the way to a drink, a piercing alarm suddenly blared, shattering the tranquility of dusk! Immediately afterward, a cold, urgent, and unquestionable voice blared from the loudspeakers throughout the academy: "Attention all students! Emergency! Immediately return to your respective classrooms under the guidance of your class instructors! No leaving the premises without further notice! Repeat! Return to your classrooms immediately! No leaving the premises!"
The alarm instantly dispelled their relaxed state. Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Huo Yuhao's face.
They had all witnessed the terrifying range of Huo Yuhao's detection abilities.
"Old Huo, what happened?" Yan Hao's voice turned somber, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, his vast spiritual power enveloping the entire outer courtyard. The next second, he abruptly opened his eyes, his icy blue pupils sharp as knives: "It's a beast tide! A large number of magical beasts are attacking the academy! The vice-dean, elders, and instructors have all gone to defend it!"
He quickly added, "Fortunately, the academy's location is unique; it's only attacked from one side, and the magical beasts are temporarily trapped outside!"
"Then what are we waiting for!" Yan Hao's temper flared instantly, his fighting spirit subtly rising around him. "Let's go help!"
Lin Xiuya frowned, his gaze quickly scanning between Huo Yuhao and the faint rumbling of energy in the distance, finally settling on Huo Yuhao's face: "Huo Yuhao, what do you think?"
Han Yue didn't speak, but her hand was already on the hilt of her sword, and her cold eyes held an undisguised fighting spirit.
Huo Yuhao looked at the fighting spirit burning in the eyes of those around him, took a deep breath, and said, "Alright, let's go provide support!"
In Class One of the Mystic Rank, Instructor Huo De, who hadn't appeared for a long time, also showed up in the classroom, anxiously counting the students.
"What's going on? Lin Xiuya—Little Fairy Doctor, where are these five people?" Huo De grabbed a student, his voice stern.
"They've been gone since morning, I don't know what they're doing."
"Damn it!" Hord released the student and yelled at the remaining students, "You all sit here, I'm going to find these bastards!"
Huo De suddenly pushed open the classroom door. At that moment, a wisp of spiritual energy quietly entered his mind, and Huo Yuhao's voice rang out in his heart: "Mentor, don't worry, we are with the vice dean."
When Huo Yuhao and his companions arrived at the site of the beast tide, the elders and mentors had already set up a temporary defensive line.
One by one, the Battle King elders spread their battle qi wings and flew into the air, fighting against the fourth-rank and above demonic beasts in the beast tide, letting the third-rank and below demonic beasts pass and handing them over to other elders and mentors.
Vice Dean Hu Qian did not immediately join the battle, but instead flew at the highest point to overlook the entire battlefield. At the same time, he maintained his vine domain, and whenever a mentor or elder was in danger, several vines would come to their rescue.
Just then, a fifth-tier armored rhinoceros suddenly exerted its strength, smashed past Elder Zhou, and instead of continuing its attack, headed straight for the interior of the academy.
"You beast!" Elder Zhou roared angrily, disregarding his surging aura, and forcefully threw a punch, the cyan fist shadow heading straight for the armored rhinoceros.
However, Elder Zhou's hasty attack failed to inflict effective damage on the magical beast. The armored rhinoceros roared and was about to break through Canaan Academy's defenses.
嗽！
Suddenly, a beam of emerald green light appeared and struck the armored rhinoceros silently. Before anyone could react, the armored rhinoceros was turned into an ice sculpture.
The vine-like hand descended from the sky, shattering the armored rhinoceros into a pile of ice shards.
Hu Qian, his face dark, wiped his sweat and roared at Huo Yuhao and the others, "Huo kid! What are you doing! Did you bring them here to their deaths? Get back here! This isn't a place for you!"
Lin Xiuya took a step forward, passing Huo Yuhao. His tall figure cast a long shadow in the setting sun, and his voice clearly pierced through the sounds of battle ahead: "Vice Dean! We are also part of Canaan Academy. When the academy is in trouble, we cannot stand idly by!"
'
"Old Lin is right!" Yan Hao's voice boomed like thunder, and he pounded his chest. "My fists, Yan Hao's fists, have never had the habit of cowering and waiting for others to protect them!"
"Vice Dean, esteemed elders," Han Yue drew her longsword, its blade gleaming coldly, "our strength is no less than that of our mentors!"
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to anyone." Huo Yuhao's calm voice rang out, his pupils shone brightly with golden light, and his mental detection sharing instantly connected with everyone present.
"What... what is this?"
"It's Elder Huo's ability!"
"That's amazing! No wonder he became an elder at such a young age!"
Hu Gan hesitated for only a moment before making up his mind.
"Alright, Lin Xiuya, you guys, work with the instructors to deal with the released monsters. Huo, you come with me."
Hu Qian arranged for Lin Xiuya and the others to join the mentors' battle group, and then flew into the sky with Huo Yuhao.
"What was the maximum range of that soul attack you used last time?" Hu Qian asked quickly.
"I just tried it, but it didn't work." Huo Yuhao's expression suddenly changed. He had originally thought the same as Hu Qian, planning to use Soul Blast to quickly deal with the beast tide. Even if there were a lot of these magical beasts, he only needed to repeat it a few times to deal with all the magical beasts below the fifth rank, and the fifth-rank magical beasts would not have an easy time either.
However, just now after he used Soul Blast, these magical beasts did not react at all, as if they had no souls!
"How is this possible?" Hu Gan's face scrunched up. "The soul attack had no effect. Does that mean they don't have souls? Are they just a bunch of puppets?"
"This shouldn't be happening! How can a puppet use battle aura?" Hu Qian looked at the magical beast below.
"Vice Dean, you stay here and oversee things. I'll study this more carefully," Huo Yuhao said in a low voice. Before he finished speaking, he mobilized his mental energy, used simulation, and flew towards the interior of the beast tide.
An unknown place.
"Huh?" A man in black robes rubbed his temples vigorously, making a sound of surprise and uncertainty.
"What's wrong?" asked a figure also shrouded in black robes beside him.
"I'm not sure, maybe the technology isn't mature yet! I occasionally get a headache."
