The exchange competition ended.
It signified the official end of the semester.
Next, Fang Yu moved out of the dormitory and returned to his rented residence.
To put it plainly, next semester Pearl Academy would be in a free-range state. Students could cultivate wherever they wanted, continue attending classes at the academy, or not even step through the academy gates at all.
In short, there was only one task the Main Campus assessment at the start of the term.
For many mages, the Green Campus and the Main Campus were separated by a single dragon gate.
The true Pearl Academy was at the Main Campus. There, cultivation resources were abundant, but competition was even more terrifying. Those who could stand out from it would become prominent figures in Magic City and even across the nation!
Charging toward the Main Campus was undoubtedly the top priority for all students.
As for Fang Yu, it went without saying. Not only did he intend to step into the Main Campus with dominance, but more importantly, he wanted to obtain a slot for the Three-Step Tower.
Only then could his Ice Element Nebula quickly advance to the third level.
The next day.
Inside the room, a ray of sunlight shone onto Fang Yu's face, waking him with a sting.
Nearby, the Little Snow Maiden was pacing back and forth at the head of the bed, occasionally stepping right over his face, leaving icy little footprints on him.
Waves of coolness hit him.
Half-awake, he instantly became alert.
Fang Yu grabbed the mischievous Little Snow Maiden and flicked her on the forehead.
Dong!
The Little Snow Maiden fell onto the bed and even bounced twice.
Fang Yu was speechless.
As expected of you!
You're already heading toward becoming a "chubby blob."
During this period, he had started feeding her Spirit Seed fragments. Her diet was probably too good, she was about to turn into an ice crystal ball, able to bounce even when thrown onto the bed.
At that moment, the phone on the table rang.
Fang Yu shifted his gaze and looked at it.
Caller ID: Hunter Assistant Zhu Rui.
Fang Yu answered the call.
"There's a big job do you want to take it?" Zhu Rui's voice came through.
"What's the situation?" Fang Yu asked.
"A military commission. In the southern Variegated Mountain Range of Magic City, search and rescue a military personnel," Zhu Rui explained.
"Why doesn't the military handle it themselves?" Fang Yu asked further.
"That region has countless continuous mountains. The military is short on manpower this time, so they have to rely on Hunter Mages," Zhu Rui replied.
"So we just need to locate her position, right?" Fang Yu asked.
"That's right. After that, use the special communication device provided by the military to report her location, they'll send support," Zhu Rui said.
"The Variegated Mountain Range, huh?"
Fang Yu pondered.
His funds were running low, barely covering expenses.
Coincidentally, he had already mastered Mid-Tier magic in all three of his elements. Going wouldn't hurt.
"I'll take it. When do I leave?"
"As soon as possible," Zhu Rui answered.
"Understood."
After hanging up, Fang Yu changed into a new set of clothes and headed to the Hunter's Union.
After waiting for a while, Zhu Rui brought over the military's "communication device" along with a rough terrain map of the Variegated Mountain Range.
After making preparations, he set off alone.
Two days later.
Inside the Variegated Mountain Range.
Fang Yu let out a long sigh. It was already his second day since entering, yet not to mention the rescue target, he hadn't even seen a single human.
However, when he discovered a group of unicorns by a lakeside, he got a good idea.
Wasn't this the perfect means of transportation?
The next moment, Fang Yu summoned the Golden Ape from the Summoning Plane.
After feeding it some food, the Golden Ape followed Fang Yu's instructions, charging straight toward the lakeside, surrounding the group of unicorns, and locking onto the tall one among them.
It was a tall, majestic male unicorn.
Its limbs were slender, its body strong, its eyes like crystal. From its forehead grew a single horn, shimmering with silver light.
At this moment, the Golden Ape suddenly appeared.
A commotion erupted by the lake, and the unicorn herd living there began to cry out…
"Chi!" "Chi!"…
The group of unicorns went into an uproar. Their horns lit up, all firing beams toward the Golden Ape. Formed from condensed energy, they looked like lightning if one didn't observe closely.
The Golden Ape swiftly dodged, landing behind a massive boulder. But just as it crouched down, the boulder shattered with a bang, stones scattering everywhere.
The aftermath dissipated.
The Golden Ape leapt up, like a golden roc soaring through the sky, tracing a shocking trajectory as it charged into the unicorn herd.
The unicorns stirred violently, their hooves pounding. They could no longer launch a coordinated attack. Their bodies shimmered with silver scales as each raised its head and neighed, trampling forward.
At this moment, the Golden Ape had entered the herd, but it also became even more dangerous. A hoof struck from one side, a gaping maw lunged from another, and beams shot from yet another direction—it was hard to evade.
Seeing this, the Golden Ape's entire body glowed. Its form suddenly expanded to three meters, while pitch-black energy spread out, enveloping its body and blocking this wave of attacks.
"Wuuu!"
With a powerful shove, the Golden Ape sent seven or eight unicorns flying, crashing to the ground.
The path was cleared.
"Whoosh—"
The Golden Ape surged forward, leaping onto the back of the tall unicorn. Though its body was covered in silver scales, its neck had a mane of silvery-white hair, which the ape grabbed tightly, refusing to let go.
The magnificent beast let out a long neigh, its voice loud and resonant like a great bell or stone chime, soaring into the clouds—truly a powerful and exceptional creature!
At this moment, Fang Yu also walked over from not far away, leaning close to its ear and whispering:
"Easy there. Take me to explore other areas, and I'll let you go once the journey is done."
However, the unicorn flew into a rage. It was a demon, how could it be compared to an ordinary horse? It was no mount.
The tall unicorn struggled continuously, but under the Golden Ape's immense strength, it couldn't break free.
With a forceful press, the Golden Ape pushed its raised head down. In the end, it even jumped to the ground, lifted the unicorn up, and charged forward, clearing a path as it broke out of the herd with Fang Yu.
The unicorn herd fell into chaos, neighing nonstop, but there was nothing they could do. The Golden Ape was too strong, possessing immense strength, crashing through more than a dozen fierce beasts.
The Golden Ape dashed back, carrying the tall unicorn, flipping it onto its back with all four hooves in the air, no matter how it struggled, it was useless.
Not long after, in a hidden spot, the unicorn neighed incessantly. Although the Golden Ape had captured one, it hadn't truly tamed it yet, it kept struggling and calling out.
Fang Yu persuaded it:
"Behave or I'll feed you to that one over there."
Although it was a demon, the unicorn's intelligence wasn't high. It couldn't fully understand his words, but instinctively, a sense of fear arose within it, making it dare not act recklessly.
After a moment, the tall and majestic unicorn submitted and stopped resisting.
Another morning.
Fang Yu prepared to set off.
Sitting atop the unicorn, he charged into the distance.
"With the unicorn's speed, traversing the Variegated Mountain Range won't take long. I refuse to believe I can't find the target!"
Fang Yu muttered, clenching his fist before urging the unicorn forward. It turned into a streak of silver light, rushing toward the endless mountains, crossing the ranges and heading into the distance.
