333: Chapter 337 Leaving the Palace
Therefore, Lu Chen had never had the opportunity to verify his own strength.
And this time, participating in the entrance examination would be his first formal duel with someone.
Soon, the sun set.
Lu Chen finished reading all the content in the booklet.
The academy was founded by Constantine Gareth himself approximately sixty million years ago.
Each batch requires exactly 60 people.
No extra quota was given to anyone.
Not even the dean has one.
One can only be admitted by relying on pure talent.
This rule has operated like a law of nature since the academy was founded.
It has not disappeared into history.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.
"Your Highness, we are considering pitching our tents here. What do you think?"
It was the voice of Deputy Commander Qiaoweili.
Lu Chen opened the window and saw that the sun was about to set.
"Of course. Hunt some more beasts. I want to have a barbecue tonight."
Qiaoweili replied, "Yes."
He immediately left and ordered the soldiers to set up tents and build a campfire.
He also ordered two guards to form a hunting party to hunt some beasts or powerful Demonic Beasts.
Soon, the guards caught a Demonic Beast cow and returned to the camp.
That night, they held a barbecue party.
The first night passed peacefully.
The next morning, the carriages started moving again.
On this day, they arrived near a mountain range.
They unanimously agreed that they should enter the mountains early tomorrow, so they set up camp early.
After setting up camp, the soldiers went hunting again.
But before they had gone far, Lu Chen sensed a huge source of mana approaching them.
It was extremely powerful, even greater than the two commanders.
He immediately shouted, "Come back at once!"
But before the guards could react, a huge Demonic Beast appeared out of nowhere and suddenly attacked them.
Its speed was incredibly fast; they couldn't even react.
The shadow of death instantly overwhelmed their minds, and they closed their eyes in despair.
But the expected scythe of death did not arrive.
Lu Chen had no time to think; he directly used a Space Spell to cast a Lightning Beam.
The Demonic Beast's hind leg was pierced, and caught off guard, it fell to the ground.
The guards suddenly gained a moment to breathe and scrambled back in a panic.
After returning, they finally dared to look back at the Demonic Beast to see what it was.
It was a black wolf as large as, or even larger than, an elephant.
But they did not know what had happened, nor did they know why it had suddenly stopped attacking.
Ram was watching this scene from the shadows.
"That kid has mastered such a powerful Space Spell. Let me see just how far he can go."
The two commanders snapped back to reality and ordered the guards to attack the black wolf immediately.
The mages took out their staffs, began chanting, and then started firing various Spells.
The knights also took out their bows and arrows, but the arrows and Spells couldn't even scratch the black wolf's hide, let alone penetrate its body.
Commander Floss looked at Qiaoweili and said, "Use your strongest Spell to attack it. This Demonic Beast is a Tier 2 Demonic Beast. It won't be easy to harm it."
Qiaoweili nodded and began chanting a Spell, but the black wolf had already been enraged and began to roar wildly.
In an instant, wind blades slashed toward the team. It was a Wind-elemental Demonic Beast.
Floss shouted, "Defensive Spells! Protecting the Prince is paramount."
The black wolf then charged at them. Floss drew an ice-blue longsword; he was a Water-elemental knight.
He charged at the black wolf with his sword to engage in a head-on confrontation.
In all this chaos, no one saw the 6-year-old Prince wearing a satisfied smile on his face.
He was enjoying this scene. He was learning Spells from everyone.
His Comprehension Ability was extremely high. Just by watching them cast Spells, he could grasp their respective Spell operation diagrams.
Although he could not use other elemental Spells, he could incorporate them into his Spell library and use his own mana to recombine these Spells.
When Floss charged at the Demonic Beast, he saw that the beast's hind leg was bleeding.
He was surprised at who had just wounded it. He had also seen the beam of light earlier but hadn't seen the source.
So, someone here could harm this Demonic Beast. He didn't know if that person was a friend or foe.
But now he had no time to think about other things; he needed to kill this monster. Otherwise, except for him, no one in the team could do it.
Lu Chen was watching the battle. He wanted to attack now, but he also wanted to watch the commander fight.
Soon, Floss and the black wolf collided.
Floss swung his longsword, but the black wolf narrowly dodged it and struck him with its tail.
But Floss was not an ordinary knight. He vaulted over the black wolf's head and slammed his sword into its skull.
But this time, it swung a wind blade directly at him, and Floss could not dodge the attack in mid-air.
The wind blade hit him. Blood gushed from his chest. Floss was knocked flying and fell to the ground.
Lu Chen did not expect this black wolf to be so powerful, or to have such sharp combat awareness.
Floss, as the commander of the Palace Guard, was still unable to deal with it.
The black wolf looked at the severely injured Floss in the distance and immediately charged toward him.
