Li Wei had learned from Balaha when the third-year Orange Level Class would be having their practical combat course.

He arrived early and waited in the Secret Realm Plaza.

The sound of many approaching footsteps echoed through the plaza.

Li Wei turned his head and saw a group of Tier Three Mages walking his way.

He hadn’t had a chance to update his Magic Badge yet.

As a result, the Magic Badge pinned to his chest still showed two stars.

The teacher leading the group glanced at Li Wei but paid him no mind.

She said a few words to the group, offered a few reminders, and then opened a Secret Realm Teleportation Gate.

It was different from the Secret Realm Li Wei had visited last time.

The teacher stepped through the Teleportation Gate first, and the students followed in an orderly line.

Li Wei seized the opportunity, slipping through the Secret Realm Teleportation Gate just before it closed.

The last Tier Three Mage to enter was surprised to see Li Wei come in.

"Who are you?"

Hearing this, the few Mages ahead of him also turned to look.

When they saw the two stars on Li Wei’s chest, they all looked astonished.

’What’s a Tier Two Mage doing in here?’

Just as they were wondering, the sounds of battle erupted from not too far away.

The Mages who had entered the Secret Realm earlier were already fighting the Skeleton Monsters.

The group had no time to dwell on Li Wei’s identity. They turned and scattered, seeking their own prey.

Jasmine, the teacher leading the group, spotted Li Wei.

"You’re a student from the second-year Red Level Class. What are you doing here?" Jasmine asked.

Li Wei answered sincerely, "Teacher, I’d also like to participate in the practical course missions."

"I’ve already advanced to a Tier Three Mage, I just haven’t had the chance to update my Magic Badge."

"Is that so?" Jasmine gave him a noncommittal look. "You’re not one of my students. If you get into any trouble, I’m not responsible."

"Just watch out for yourself."

Li Wei’s Magic Badge vibrated. He had received the practical course missions from Jasmine.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Li Wei checked his Magic Badge.

First mission: Clear out three hundred Tier Zero Skeleton Monsters. Reward: 2 Credit Points.

Second mission: Clear out fifty Tier One Skeleton Monsters. Reward: 3 Credit Points.

Third mission: Clear out twenty Tier Two Skeleton Monsters. Reward: 5 Credit Points.

Fourth mission: Kill Tier Three Skeleton Monsters. Reward: 0.5 Credit Points each.

Fifth mission: Kill Tier Four Skeleton Monsters. Reward: 3 Credit Points each.

Sixth mission: Kill the Death Knight. Reward: 10 Credit Points.

The difficulty of the practical course missions for Tier Three Mages was a noticeable jump.

After reviewing the mission objectives, Li Wei looked up toward the battlefield.

Tier Three Mages were far stronger than Tier Two Mages.

Back then, the Red Level Class students had been surrounded by tens of thousands of Skeleton Monsters, forced to struggle just to fight back.

Now, even when facing a greater number of Skeleton Monsters, the Tier Three Mages were almost all on the offensive.

There was no need for defense at all.

A single area-of-effect Tier Three Magic spell would crash down, wiping out huge swathes of Low Level Skeleton Monsters.

For a Tier Three Mage, the first three missions weren’t difficult.

It was just a matter of time.

Seeing this, Li Wei headed deeper into the Skeleton Sea.

Quite a few other Tier Three Mages made the same choice.

Only those who were extremely confident in their own strength would dare to do so.

They weren’t just aiming to complete the practical course missions.

They wanted to earn even more Credit Points.

They were even targeting the Tier Four Skeleton Monsters and the Death Knight.

WHOOSH!

CRACKLE!

A ten-meter-long Fire Serpent slithered around Li Wei, burning all nearby Skeleton Monsters to ash.

With the buff from his High Level Fire Elemental Body, the power of his Tier Two Fire Snake Skill was already comparable to an ordinary Tier Four Spell.

The Low Level Skeleton Monsters stood no chance against the Fire Serpent’s intense heat.

After just a few seconds of contact with the Fire Serpent, they were incinerated.

Jasmine glanced at Li Wei, a look of surprise on her face.

’Since when did the Red Level Class have such a powerful student?’

She could tell.

Li Wei’s power was no weaker than that of a veteran Tier Three Mage.

According to what Li Wei had said, he had just broken through.

To possess such immense power right after a breakthrough... ’A student of this caliber shouldn’t have been assigned to the Red Level Class.’

Jasmine was completely bewildered.

When she sent the missions to Li Wei, she had seen his information.

She discovered that he really was a student from the Red Level Class, and the information registered in his Magic Badge still listed him as a Tier Two Mage.

The scene unfolding before her was something she found impossible to believe.

But no one could falsify the information within a Magic Badge.

Jasmine buried her doubts for now, planning to investigate the matter further after returning to the Elemental Tower.

Li Wei plowed his way straight to the center of the Skeleton Monsters, drawing the attention of many.

"Who is that guy? I’ve never seen him before."

"No idea. Doesn’t seem to be a student from our class."

"I know! He came in behind us just now. I think he’s a student from the Red Level Class."

"Now I remember! Isn’t that the Tier Two Mage who was sitting in the Secret Realm Plaza earlier?"

"You must be mistaken. How could that possibly be a Tier Two Mage?"

BOOM!

A Giant Skeleton over four meters tall clawed its way out of the ground.

The Giant Skeleton pulled out a massive leg bone to use as a weapon and strode toward the nearest person.

WHOOSH!

The heavy leg bone swung down at Li Wei.

The restriction on the Ring of Arrogance was lifted.

Li Wei raised a hand and pointed.

"Fire Resistance Ring!"

The Fire Resistance Ring shoved the Giant Skeleton back.

The Giant Skeleton stumbled backward, crushing a few unlucky Low Level Skeleton Monsters underfoot.

Seeing this, a Mage not far away quickly cast a spell, hoping to kill-steal the Giant Skeleton.

WHOOSH!

A Bursting Fireball slammed into the Giant Skeleton.

BOOM!

A violent explosion engulfed the Giant Skeleton in flames.

A moment later, the Giant Skeleton emerged from the fire completely unscathed.

Its bones were merely a bit scorched.

Seeing this, the Tier Three Mage’s expression changed drastically.

"A Tier Four Undead!"

Li Wei tossed out a Blue Fireball.

WHOOSH!

The Blue Fireball struck the Giant Skeleton.

The fireball burst, transforming into a sea of blue flames that submerged the Giant Skeleton.

The explosion wasn’t violent.

The flames from the Blue Fireball’s explosion only covered enemies within a three-meter radius.

However, all enemies within those three meters were burned to ash by the high-temperature Blue Fire.

The Low Level Skeleton Monsters couldn’t withstand the Blue Fire at all.

Even the Giant Skeleton’s bones began to burn in the Blue Fire, its massive frame rapidly collapsing.

CRACK! THUD!

The Giant Skeleton’s body fell apart and crashed to the ground.

The Soul Fire within its skull shattered under the heat of the Blue Fire.

"What kind of Magic is that?"

Kulu was utterly shocked to see the Giant Skeleton that he couldn’t even damage fall so easily to a single Blue Fireball.

After killing the Giant Skeleton, Li Wei was about to leave.

Suddenly, his Spiritual Power sensed a Power approaching rapidly from a hundred meters away.

He reacted instinctively.

Fire Resistance Ring!

His Invisible Armor transformed into a Shield in front of him.

He was ready to use Elementalization at a moment’s notice.

BOOM!

The Fire Resistance Ring, which had the power of a Tier Four Spell, was shattered by some force.

A dark figure burst through the ring of fire, rapidly closing in on Li Wei.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The dark figure slammed into the Shield made of Hexagonal Crystals.

Instantly, four or five of the Hexagonal Crystals shattered.

Its Attack Power was terrifying.

But the Shield successfully blocked the dark figure’s charge.

Once the dark figure stopped, Li Wei finally got a clear look at it.

The attacker was a Death Knight, clad in black Armor and riding a Bone Horse.
