The Shadow Triad was surprisingly civilized. They conveniently cleaned up the dead bodies by degrading them, as if they were concerned about public hygiene and environntal protection. The whole bay soon looked like nothing had ever happened.
Ding Yumian’s ntal energy was depleted. Mo Fan had also consud all the energy in his Shadow and Lightning Elents.
Mo Fan had prepared the two spells over a long ti. He had only used a single spell with each Elent, but the energy he had consud was greater than the amount of energy required to construct a dozen Star Palaces.
Mo Fan was worn out ntally, but he was relieved after taking out so many sea monsters at once.
The number of the sea monsters was beyond their estimates. The Pearl Institute would lose a lot more students and teachers if they did not co up with a better plan to wipe out the sea monsters!
“I’ve collected a lot of Soul Remnants. I should use them to improve my Earth Elent…”
Mo Fan had ended up making a fortune. He had collected almost a whole bag of intact Soul Essences, not to ntion the Organ Crystals of the sea monsters!
He could sell these intact Soul Essences directly for money. Since he now had a Heaven-inferior Seed for his Earth Elent, his Earth Spells would be significantly stronger as he improved his Earth Elent.
Ever since his Earth Elent had gained a Heaven-inferior Seed, he had been using his Soul Remnants and Soul Essences to strengthen the Earth Elent instead of expanding his wolf army. Even if his Earth Elent had yet to reach the Super Level, it was still on par with other people’s Super-Level Earth Elents due to the help of the Heaven-inferior Seed!

Although Mo Fan and Ding Yumian had to recover their energy, they did not leave the dangerous river.
It was unlikely they had wiped out the sea monsters after just a single attempt. They had to sweep the other branches of the river now. Mo Fan was still quite powerful, even if he could not use Advanced or Super Spells that required a lot of ntal energy.

“Mo Fan, Mr. Wei Rong is asking us to head to Bing Town,” Ding Yumian told him.
“Alright,” Mo Fan agreed.
Bing Town was located at a perfect river bay. If it weren’t for the incident, it would be the most unique town to the south of the Yangtze River.
The town had been attacked by the sea monsters long ago, but it seed like no one had survived the invasion.
The invasion had been going on for quite so ti. The town was surrounded by water and surely unlikely to survive the attack.
——
Mo Fan and Ding Yumian soon reached Bing Town. “Are there survivors?” he asked.
There were rows of cypress trees at the entrance of the town up on slightly higher terrain. They could see the farmlands that had turned into lakes, and houses soaking in the water.
“I first thought there were no survivors here, but the Hunter Union received a call for help, saying that the people of the entire town are still alive,” Wei Rong relayed to him.
“How is that possible? Bing Town was the first to be drowned and attacked. Other towns with similar terrain to this barely have any survivors. How are the people still alive?” the student representative asked.
“I’m not sure, either. It’s most likely misinformation,” Wei Rong sighed.
It was a relief to hear a piece of news like that, but when they arrived at the town, the whole place was soaked in mud and water. They could not see a single person, but they could still see sea monsters passing by occasionally.
“It must be so kind of a trap again. The sea monsters are good at playing with our minds. We should leave this place as soon as possible. We still have many things to do, and there are other places that need our help,” the student representative spoke up.
Ding Yumian lifted her gaze and looked at Mo Fan.
Mo Fan did not agree with the student representative’s words. He shook his head and pointed out, “There are no corpses or bloodstains in the town.”
“Could it be so gigantic sea monster swallowed up all the people, like the beasts in the myths that can swallow thousands of people with a single bite?” the student representative guessed.
“Have you played too many retarded gas? If a gigantic sea monster does show up, it would obviously cause a lot of destruction, but the buildings in the town are still in good condition. The only damage was caused by little sea monsters,” Mo Fan went on.
“Well… either way, we don’t see a single person here, so we’d have to search the whole town,” the student representative groused.
“How about this? Senior, you should rest here with Senior Sister. Let us handle the search,” a student with the Shadow Elent called out.
“Sure, be careful.”
Wei Rong had already organized the students based on their Elents and capabilities. It was much more effective than their previous approach. They were no longer like a plate of loose sand.
Mo Fan and Ding Yumian had to get so rest, and did not force themselves to look for the survivors.
It was a great chance to train the students, too.
It was not like the sea monsters had significantly outmatched human Mages, but they had a stronger will to fight, as they were used to the dangerous environnt of the deep sea. They were born in an environnt that obeyed the law of the jungle, while many human Mages had already forgotten how to fight after relying too much on the protection of the cities.
“I’m a little hungry,” Mo Fan rubbed his stomach. He had not had ti to eat anything.
“You still have an appetite?” Ding Yumian asked, staring at him with wide eyes.
“For so reason, I’m feeling a bigger appetite now!” Mo Fan nodded.
Mo Fan searched in his Space Bracelet, but he only found so dried food like jerky. He always felt like vomiting if he ate too many of them, but they were incredibly useful for replenishing energy.
He had no choice but to eat so jerky and sit down on the ground to ditate.
Mo Fan was soon fully focused on ditating. Wei Rong, Ding Yumian, and the graduates were impressed. Anyone who was able to close their eyes and ditate in a situation like this was very confident.
Most Mages needed a quiet, comfortable, and safe environnt to ditate. Otherwise, they would have trouble focusing.
Even though they were up on the high ground, they were still surrounded by water. The sea monsters might show up at any second.
Mo Fan was basically taking a nap in the middle of a battlefield!
The others could never do the sa thing.
——
The student with the Shadow Elent eventually returned. Mo Fan could sense his magic from afar.
“Mr. Wei Rong, Senior Mo Fan, and Senior Sister Ding, the people of this town are indeed alive!” the student called out happily.
“Huh? But where are they?” Wei Rong quickly looked around them.
Were they hiding in the buildings? Why didn’t the sea monsters drag them out?
