Ninth-Grade Warrior!

Ninth-Grade Magician!

A Great Magician of four elements—thunder, fire, earth, and wood!

As Meng Lei skimmed over his stats interface and felt the surging power that was close to overflowing and gushing out of his body, he felt unprecedentedly strong and his condition wonderful like never before.

I feel like I can smash an entire mountain into smithereens with my bare fist!

This sensation of power flowing through my whole body... It’s awesome!

“What are you spacing out for, brat?!”

A shout suddenly blasted his ears, shocking Meng Lei straight out of his revelry. He grumbled, “What’s the matter, Ol’ President?”

“What are you daydreaming about all day long? We’re in the Magical Beast Forest, you know! Are you tired of living?” Ol’ Amos was rather displeased. Then, he said, “Your magic communication device is ringing!”

“Oh!”

Meng Lei took out his magic communication device and a chubby, round face popped up at once. “Hey! Old bro, how are ya?”

“I’m good!”

Meng Lei had initially wanted to reply that he couldn’t be any better, but he didn’t want to invite criticism from Ol’ Amos, so he could only answer like what he had said. Then, he asked, “What made you suddenly think of me?”

“Hehe!”

Fatty Hart chuckled. Then, he took a golden helmet from somewhere and plopped it on top of his head. He looked just like GG Bond1 with a golden helmet on his head and looked exceptionally comical!

“Old bro, don’t I look like a hunk right now?” asked Fatty Hart as he wriggled his eyebrows and winked at him in a terribly flirtatious manner.

“Pfft! Hahahaha!”

Meng Lei burst into laughter. He almost couldn’t catch his breath as he chortled!

“Hey, hey, hey! What are you laughing at, old bro?”

Fatty Hart was rather displeased!

“Cough, cough! No... I’m not laughing!” Meng Lei coughed a couple of times. He held back his laughter and asked, “Fatty, what are you up to? What are you messing about with?”

Fatty Hart’s face immediately fell upon hearing his question. He replied, “Messing about? That’s what I’d like to do if I could! Old bro, do you know where I currently am?”

“Where are you?”

“The North River Pass of the Great Dragon Blood Wall!”

“What the! Why have you gone there? Are you tired of living?!” Meng Lei was rather shocked. “Don’t you know that an ant tide has broken out at the Great Dragon Blood Wall?!”

“Do you think I came here willingly?” Fatty Hart laughed ruefully. “I was happily staying at home and enjoying a comfortable, pleasant, and free life. If I hadn’t been forced to, who would want to come all the way to the Great Dragon Blood Wall to send themselves to death’s door?”

“Forced to?” Meng Lei was taken aback for a moment.

“Didn’t I just break through to Fourth-Grade Magician a couple of days ago? My old man said that I only have a sham of a cultivation realm, but no actual corresponding strength, so I need to go for some proper training.” Fatty Hart gave him a wry smile and went on. “He then sent me to the academy to join the team of seniors being sent to help out in the defense against the ant tide. I was sent here after that!”

“...”

Meng Lei didn’t know what to say anymore. Fatty Hart’s magic talent was certainly not bad, but sending him to defend against the ant tide? What was his old man thinking?

“After I arrived at Great Dragon Blood Wall, a group of seniors and I were dispatched to the North River Pass, and I became a guarding Magician there.

“The silver lining in this tragedy is that the teacher in charge of my group is that old fellow Dirk!”

Fatty Hart lowered his voice and said, “Old Dirk may be strict and inflexible, but he’s very strong and powerful. With a Great Ninth-Grade Magician like him leading the team, at least our safety is guaranteed!”

“Mr. Dirk is also at the North River Pass?”

“Yes, Abbe and Tanna are also here!”

“Tanna?”

“You can’t possibly not remember even Tanna, right? Tanna Airam, our class belle. You know, the beautiful, fair-skinned Dragon Person babe from the Frost Kingdom!”

At the mention of Tanna, Fatty Hart perked up at once. His eyes were gleaming bright, as though a couple of 100-Watt light bulbs.

“Oh, her? Since when did she become the class belle?”

“Hehe! I decided that she is!”

“Pooh!”

Fatty Hart snickered and then wriggled his eyebrows as he said, “That girl even mentioned your name just now and asked why you weren’t here. I told her that you’d gone to the Magical Beast Forest for training!”

“Uh...”

“Guess what that girl replied? She said that as expected of our class’ top student, not only do you have outstanding magic talent, but you’re even diligent and hardworking. She also said that you’re her idol and that she idolizes you very much.”

Fatty Hart laughed vulgarly. “Old bro, you should thank me, you know. Your buddy here has done you such a huge favor!”

“I should thank you?”

Meng Lei was a little stunned.

“That I didn’t expose you, of course!” Fatty Hart chuckled sneakily and said, “I’m the only one that knows that your home is actually at the Magical Beast Forest. Actually, the reason why you went to the Magical Beast Forest for training is just to return home, right?”

Meng Lei rolled his eyes, too lazy to even provide the fellow with an actual explanation.

“So, tell me, old bro, shouldn’t you thank me?”

Fatty Hart gave him another vulgar smile and said, “Hehe! I, Fatty, am someone that’s loyal to his friends. For the sake of comradeship, I’d even go to hell and back, much less something as trivial as this.

“But since I’ve done you such a huge favor, I’m sure you’ll feel apologetic if you don’t show some appreciation. So, how about this, shall we make a trip to Juxian Restaurant when the term starts?”

A corner of Meng Lei’s lips spasmed in response.

“Since you’re not objecting, I’ll take your silence as a yes! Wahahaha, Juxian Restaurant! Tsk, tsk, I must fleece a good and proper meal out of you!”

Fatty Hart began to cheer loudly. Right at that point, a clear and melodious voice rang out. “Hart, who are you talking to? You’re laughing so happily!”

“Hehe! Oh, it’s Tanna!” Fatty Hart turned and looked over. “I’m talking to your idol! Speaking of which, your idol is really tough. He’s actually still strolling about in the Magical Beast Forest. Isn’t he afraid that the ant tide would gobble him up?”

“What? Meng Lei is still in the Magical Beast Forest?”

The clear and melodious female voice rang out again. Then, a fair, gorgeous face with fiery red little horns appeared in the magic communication device.

It was Tanna Airam!

“...”

“Meng Lei, you’re still in the Magical Beast Forest?” Tanna looked astonished. “I heard that Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants are going about everywhere in the Magical Beast Forest now. Isn’t it very dangerous to continue staying there?”

That damned fatty! Shooting his mouth off like that!

With some effort, Meng Lei squeezed out a hint of a smile and replied, “I’m in the Magical Beast Forest’s outer boundaries, so there aren’t a lot of ants here. It’s not dangerous!”

“That’s great!” Tanna said, “Do stay safe, Meng Lei. If you meet with danger, remember to take care of yourself!”

“I will, thanks!”

Meng Lei nodded.

Hoooonk!

Hoooonk!

Hoooonk!

As though dull thunderclaps coming out of nowhere, several loud and clear air horn blasts came from the magic communication device at this moment, followed by several panicked shouts.

“The ant tide is here!”

“Attention, everyone! The ant tide is here!”

“Attention, everyone! The ant tide is here!”

“The ant tide is here?”

Tanna and Hart’s countenances changed at once. Hart said anxiously, “Old bro, the ant tide is here. I have to go and face the enemies now, so I won’t talk to you anymore! I’m hanging up!”

And then, he hung up.

Meng Lei stared at the magic communication device that had turned quiet again and murmured softly, “An ant tide has actually appeared at the North River Pass? I hope the numbers aren’t too great.”

The Great Dragon Blood Wall stretched for several thousand kilometers, so its defense line was very long. The ant tide could appear at any part of it.

Therefore, every pass needed armed forces to guard it. However, this also meant that the number of soldiers guarding each pass wouldn’t be very high, and the number of Magicians allocated to each pass even fewer.

It was precisely because of this that the magic academies had assembled students to come forward to render their assistance. What were they to do? There was a shortage of Magicians!

Thus, in the face of danger, they could only send students into battle.

However, students were ultimately just students, and there was a limit to their abilities. Defending against typical ant tides was no issue for them, but it would be terrible should they run into large waves of ants.

Although an ant tide had shown up at the North River Pass, as long as there weren’t a lot of them, there wouldn’t be much of an issue.

Buzz!

The magic communication device rang again at that moment.

“Old bro! We’re done for...”
