Chapter 88: Torch of Life
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Principal Sun turned his head around, and when he looked at ng Chao, his eyes were full of praise.
Then, he strode forward and pounced into the wolf pack like a hungry lion.
Principal Sun had one ultimate technique that brought him to fa in the Red Dragon Army and struck fear in those who heard of his na. That technique was known as Demon Subduing Pole.
He had rampaging spirit energy sent into his arms, and this spirit energy would circulate at high speed in the spirit ridian systems to form spirit magnetic field rotation energy and spirit energy magnetic field. This not only turned his arms as tough as steel, he could also deliver monstrous punches that reduced everything within a circular area of dozens of ters to powder.
At that mont, profound and complicated spirit tattoos that overlapped with each other appeared on his arms. He was like a huge towering pillar in Mahavira Hall. All the Demonic Bloody Moon Wolves that he punched felt as if they had been sent into a at grinder. Their tendons snapped, bones cracked, brains gushed out, and their eyes popped out.
So of the more unfortunate wolves even lost their spines. They did not die imdiately, but fell limply on the ground as they coughed up pinkish bubbles. Their originally fierce eyes shone with fear and despair.
A Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf, which was the second strongest wolf in the pack, opened its mouth and bit down on Principal Sun’s right arm.
Principal Sun ramd his right arm deep into the creature’s throat, as if it was really a pole that could subdue demons. His arm pierced its neck and diaphragm, and he crushed its heart!
“Ha!”
Principal Sun glared and shouted like a titan subduing demons. Spirit flas surged at his palms, and they burned the wolf’s organs to a crisp.
Another Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf snuck up behind him and bit down on his calf.
Principal Sun did not even frown. He seized the wolf by the neck and ramd it against the ground. Then, he clamped it between his armpit, and with a crack, the wolf’s head fell limp in a weird angle. The creature had been crushed to death by Principal Sun
This demonic sight made the blood of ng Chao and the examinees surge.
The wolf howls shuddered in the fog.
The fearless beasts had beco terrified of the humans, who feared death even less than they did.
The wolf king finally retreated.
It called the remaining wolves and disappeared without a sound. They vanished, just like a nightmare that faded away.
The students who survived cheered. They were so happy that they cried.
“Students, I’m sorry that we didn’t manage to detect the turbulence of the space-ti torrent beforehand. We ended up causing you to run into this accident.”
Principal Sun wiped off the blood and gri from his face. His arms remained in their battle state—swelled up and burning. But his expression had beco gentle, the way it was usually. He smiled and said, “But you did very well. You showed the courage and attitude that Dragon City youths should have. Your teachers and schools are proud of you
“Don’t worry. I’ve already contacted the reinforcents and sent them our coordinates. In at most twenty minutes, they will find this place. We will definitely be safe.”
“That’s great!
“We’re safe!”
“We won!”
The students who survived the disaster hugged each other.
“Rest for the ti being. Force yourself to eat wolf at and drink wolf blood. Then, take a sitting stance to regulate your breathing and recover your strength!”
A spark shone in Principal Sun’s eyes, and he said in a tone that brooked no argunt, “Even if you have only one minute left, you must defend your stations. You cannot give the wolf pack a chance to attack you. I will defend you until the very end!”
While speaking, Principal Sun strode in the direction in which the wolf pack had escaped.
His body was surrounded by burning spirit flas, and he was like a burning pillar of fire that lit up the night and chased away the fear in the students’ hearts.
With such a powerful fighter as their guardian, everyone was at ease. They quickly sat down and used their stances to treat their injuries.
ng Chao’s eyelids twitched when he saw the old principal’s slightly swaying figure. He also noticed that the spirit flas’ color was changing continuously, and they were gradually losing control.
‘Is Principal Sun injured?’
The Bloody Moon Wolf King had been heavily injured, and it even had a dagger in its neck. Principal Sun had to have done that.
Principal Sun had fought fiercely against the wolf king while surrounded by a wolf pack and bought them ti to calmly gather together and set up their defenses.
And for that he paid a terrible price. Who knew just how badly injured he was?
“Principal Sun!”
ng Chao quickly went up to support the old principal, only to find that his skin was burning like red-hot steel. His breathing was heavy, and pinkish bubbles ca from his nose and the corners of his lips. ng Chao gasped in spite of himself.
“Hush...”
Principal Sun motioned for ng Chao to keep quiet with his head. They took a few steps into the forest.
“This is...”
ng Chao was very observant. He saw a large wet patch at the spot where Principal Sun’s heart was. Even though he hid it with gel and bandages, red blood continued flowing out.
It was a fatal wound.
Principal Sun had fought against the wolf king and suppressed its pack despite his fatal wound so he could protect the examinees!
ng Chao had complicated emotions in his heart.
In his previous life, Principal Sun hadn’t joined the practical test for university entrance as an invigilator.
Based on his mory fragnts, Principal Sun was injured badly by the Evolved Demonic Air Ripping Eyes when the fog descended three days ago and was bedridden for a long ti in the hospital.
But since ng Chao gave him a reminder before the fight, the old man was only injured lightly instead of ending up bedridden.
Yet who would have known that this heroic citizen would carry out the glorious tradition of not retreating from the frontlines if he was only lightly injured and co to be an invigilator before fully recovering from his injuries. When the fog descended, he even took the initiative to jump into the space-ti rift.
ng Chao had seen it very clearly. Principal Sun was within the area where the turbulence of the space-ti torrent occured, but he could have stayed out of the situation.
Yet he reached out to grab an examinee who fell into the fog, and when he noticed that he could not make it in ti, he decided to just jump in and be transported into the wild.
He took the initiative to stand in front of the Bloody Moon Wolf King to carry out his duties as the invigilator!
Suddenly, a terrifying thought rose from the bottom of ng Chao’s heart. ‘I hard Principal Sun. If I hadn’t caused this butterfly effect, Principal Sun would not have appeared here. If he risks his life like this, there’s a possibility... that he will die!’
ng Chao was terrified and quickly said, “Principal Sun, why are you still using your spirit energy?. Hurry up and sit down to rest. I have an ergency health kit with !”
A great price had to be paid for using supernatural abilities.
They had to push the limits of their cells to circulate spirit energy, which ant that they had to continuously shave off their own lives.
Years of fighting against monsters had destroyed Principal Sun’s organs, tendons, and bones, causing the fearso Heavy Cannon in the past to have long since beco soone at the end of his strength. Otherwise, he would not serve as the principal of Ninth High School and be in retirent.
Now, every ti he used the heavy cannons, the recoil caused astonishing damage to his body.
The continuous fights forced Principal Sun to the edge of death, but he still forced himself to activate his spirit energy, which made the rampaging energy surge and boil in his blood vessels and turn his skinny arms into the demon subduing poles that could support the heavens and earth. It was no different from suicide!
“I’m sorry, ng Chao, but I can’t fight anymore. Even so, I can’t sit down nor pull back my spirit energy.” Principal Sun smiled calmly. “That creature is very smart. It hasn’t run far and is definitely watching us coldly from the dark. If it finds out that I’m just putting up a strong facade, it will definitely pounce over without hesitation, and that will be the end.
“I have to hold on and release all my spirit flas to scare it... until the reinforcents find us.”
“You’re going to die!” ng Chao said, worried. “With your current condition, you should be nursing yourself in a dical cabin. You shouldn’t even be moving your pinky! If you continue using the spirit magnetic field rotation energy and burn your spirit flas, you’re just shaving off your own life! You’ll definitely die!”
“ng Chao, we will all die,” Principal Sun said faintly. “Regardless of whether I am a mber of the Red Dragon Army, the principal of Ninth High School, an invigilator, a normal Dragon Citizen, or an Earthling, I have never thought about never dying.”
“I know that you’re not afraid of death, but you’re different!”
ng Chao’s mind was in a ss. In his worry, he did not even think about the words he was using anymore. “You’re a hero. You can’t die in vain like this!”
“? A hero?” Principal Sun let out a bark of laughter. “I’m no hero. A true hero would not have let so many children be killed by monsters, and he wouldn’t—Cough—he wouldn’t be so exhausted after killing a few Demonic Bloody Moon Wolves.”
The blood he coughed out was black.
It was the sign that the wolf’s poison had invaded his body and was corroding his organs.
ng Chao shook his head vigorously. “To and all the Ninth High School students, you’re the greatest hero in the world. You have to lead Ninth High School to glory and defeat First High School, Second High School, and Construction High School!”
Principal Sun looked at him for a while. “Alright, then I will undertake the difficult task of becoming a hero this ti!
As he spoke, the spirit flas on his arms beca even brighter. The spirit tattoos rose out of his body and turned the “demon subduing poles” into two lighthouses.
The darkness grew restless. It moved like waves.
The two shining lighthouses stood at the center of the darkness. They were unshakeable existences.
“Since I’m a hero, there is no reason for to back down from a fight!” Principal Sun’s gaze was intense and his tone firm.
ng Chao found himself speechless. He was stunned for a long ti. Then, he pleaded. “The reinforcents will arrive in just a few more minutes. The wolf king needs to catch a break too. The wolf pack won’t co back so soon!”
Principal Sun’s eyes flashed.
ng Chao was stunned for a mont before he ca to a realization. “You haven’t notified the reinforcents and were only comforting us just now?”
“Hush. The reinforcents can’t be far away. Even if they can’t find us in twenty minutes, they will in half an hour. At most, an hour. They will definitely find us,” Principal Sun said. “And my mission is to use everything that I have to intimidate these monsters and make sure that they don’t dare to get close to you before the reinforcents arrive.
“ng Chao, instead of wasting your breath on an old coot like , it’d be better for you to eat more monster at and drink their blood to recover your strength and fighting power. If... I’m saying IF I die and the reinforcents haven’t yet arrived, you might have to fight on your own for a while. And only then will you have hope of surviving!”
Principal Sun coughed up another mouthful of black blood.
His blood was like fuel. It made the flas around him burn even brighter.
When the principal saw his student’s slightly puzzled eyes, he smiled and placed his hand on the student’s shoulder. “I’m really not a hero. I’m just a normal human, and there are those among us who will risk everything even if they know that they will die. Even if all their bones are shattered, they will carry on with the task that they must do. There are people like that, don’t you agree?”
