Chapter 65: Battle for the Dungeon—Qingbei University Confronts Modu University

The students from Qingbei University continuously unleashed their skills, hoping to break through the encirclement. However, the sheer number of Shark-headed Men was overwhelming, and most of them were unable to escape. Realizing that breaking through was impossible, many students crushed their teleportation charms. One after another, a white light enveloped their bodies, and they were teleported away.

Every candidate participating in the entrance exam had been given a teleportation charm beforehand. If they encountered danger, they could activate the charm and teleport back. However, returning this way meant failing the entrance exam.

Gu Panpan said, “This is a skill unique to Exorcists. It’s said they can summon demons from the Demon Realm.”

Yu Miao’er asked in a low voice, “Why would that person do this?”

Lin Xue replied, “His goal is to stop us from climbing the mountain.”

At the same time, the foot of the mountain was already filled with Shark-headed Men—at least two to three hundred, by conservative estimate. Aside from those at the base, there were several hundred more along the mountain path. Nearly a thousand Shark-headed Men completely blocked the way up the mountain. It would take several hours at least to clear them all.

The Exorcist, seeing this, burst into laughter. “Hahaha, you’d better stay right here! Let me tell you, this dungeon belongs to Modu University!”

With that, the Exorcist turned and left. In no time, he had vanished.

“How shameless!”

“Exorcist is a legendary and rare profession. Clearly, Modu University has gone all out to win this entrance exam!”

“By the time we finish clearing these Shark-headed Men, Modu University will have already entered the dungeon.”

“Our team is in complete chaos now, and quite a few have already withdrawn from the exam.”

“It doesn’t matter. After we get up the mountain, we can regroup.”

“But our biggest problem right now is, how do we get up there?”

“Is there anyone who can lure those Shark-headed Men away?”

“They’re all level 22 monsters. Trying to draw them away is much too dangerous!”

“That’s right. There are nearly a thousand of them here.”

“Is there a Summoner among us? Have the Summoner do it.”

“Even if there is a Summoner, I doubt anyone could handle a thousand Shark-headed Men.”

Everyone was talking at once, but no one had a solution.

Lin Xue turned to Yang Feng and asked, “Yang Feng, can you lure those Shark-headed Men away?”

Yang Feng nodded, then summoned a Crow Warrior, which soared into the air.

“A crow? Is that a dark-type summoned creature?”

“Whose summoned beast is that?”

“What’s the crow flying over there for?”

“Is it really going to lure the Shark-headed Men away?”

“That crow is so fast!”

The sudden appearance of the Crow Warrior immediately drew everyone’s attention. Soon, the Crow Warrior flew to the front of the Shark-headed Men, instantly attracting their notice. With loud cries, countless Shark-headed Men gave chase. In a flash, half of those at the mountain’s base were gone.

Seeing this, Lin Xue sighed lightly. “Although half of the Shark-headed Men have been lured away, there are still over a hundred left.”

Before she finished speaking, Yang Feng summoned a second Crow Warrior.

“You have two crow summoned beasts?”

Lin Xue’s eyes lit up at the sight. She hadn’t expected Yang Feng could summon two Crow Warriors.

The second Crow Warrior, just like the first, led away another hundred or so Shark-headed Men. In an instant, the base of the mountain was nearly cleared. Now, only those along the mountain path remained. Compared to clearing the base, dealing with those on the path would be much easier.

“Fantastic!”

“Brother, you’re incredible!”

“After the entrance exam, let’s be sure to get to know each other!”

“When we get to the dungeon, I’ll have your back!”

Seeing Yang Feng lure the Shark-headed Men away, everyone cheered in excitement.

Gu Panpan, too, had a happy smile on her face. Everyone praising Yang Feng made her even happier than if they’d praised her.

At that moment, a third Crow Warrior was summoned.

“A third crow?”

“We’ll definitely be able to lure all the Shark-headed Men away now!”

Seeing Yang Feng summon a third Crow Warrior, everyone shouted with joy.

Yang Feng said quietly, “Get ready to climb the mountain!”

Lin Xue was already prepared, her expression serious. “Everyone, get ready!”

The third Crow Warrior flew up, luring away the Shark-headed Men on the mountain path as well. Lin Xue seized the opportunity, rushing quickly up the mountain. The others followed immediately.

In truth, Yang Feng didn’t need to go to such lengths. He could have simply used Fireball and wiped out the Shark-headed Men. But because Xiao Tiance was still in the group, he didn’t want Xiao Tiance to benefit from his efforts. At this point, they were still teamed up—if Yang Feng killed the monsters, the experience would be split among everyone. Xiao Tiance had provoked him several times—why should Yang Feng let him profit for free? Though Yang Feng wasn’t petty, he wasn’t about to let himself be taken advantage of, either. In any other place, Yang Feng would’ve already dealt with Xiao Tiance himself.

Everyone rushed up the mountain quickly. Though the peak was over a thousand meters high, it took less than ten minutes for them all to reach the summit. There, they saw the entrance to the dungeon.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the summit, another group arrived.

“Everyone, get inside the dungeon! Don’t let them get in!” the Qingbei University students shouted.

Lin Xue dashed toward the dungeon entrance.

“What’s going on? How did they get up here?”

“Did they all fly up?”

The Exorcist from before looked on in disbelief. He had gone to great lengths to drive so many Shark-headed Men to block the path. It should have taken hours to clear them. By the time Qingbei University’s students arrived, Modu University’s team should have finished the dungeon and left. He never expected Qingbei University would reach the top so quickly.

The students from both universities eyed each other warily, then rushed toward the dungeon entrance together.
