Boom!
A loud explosion echoed from the depths of the jungle not far away, intermingled with the screams of apprentices and the roars of magical beasts.
Due to the blockade of the plane barriers, the apprentices' landing was nothing short of a disaster.
They were scattered like seeds randomly cast into the primitive forest before them, with landing points both random and dispersed.
With the delay in ti, the entire primitive forest instantly transford into a chaotic battlefield.
So apprentices were ambushed by nearby low-tier magical beasts the mont they landed and had to hastily counterattack.
So were surrounded by magical beasts while searching for companions, with cries for help echoing incessantly.
So were unfortunate enough to fall directly into an indigenous trap, imdiately sparking a conflict.
This vast and perilous forest had beco their most brutal "first experience" since entering the academy.
Jeming, on his side, also encountered an enemy.
Strictly speaking, another unlucky fellow encountered a magical beast, and Jeming was rely collateral damage.
"Roar!!!"
An angry roar caused the entire ground to tremble.
In the distant jungle, towering trees fell one after another, allowing one to clearly sense the impending approach of a giant beast.
Jeming had no intention of fleeing; the energy information from the Deciphering Skill indicated that the giant beast had reached the level of a First Level Creature, within the range Jeming could handle.
"Perfect, let test the level of creatures in this world."
Raising his palm towards the distant, agitated jungle, a tal bracer appeared on his wrist at so unknown ti.
Ten "gems" were embedded in the bracer, emitting a gentle glow as Jeming's Spiritual Power beca active.
Each gem on the bracer was a Talisman Witchcraft Artifact crafted by Jeming after multiple improvents.
Since the last academy trial, he had abandoned the variety of elental attacks popular in the Wizard Realm, opting instead for the purest Energy Bullet.
In terms of sheer destructive power, the Energy Bullet might be sowhat weaker than other elental witchcraft, but its greatest advantage was that it couldn't be "immune" to by other spells or creatures.
Although the Energy Bullet was composed of energy, its unique structure allowed it to function as a solid projectile unaffected by gravity, causing purely physical damage.
Because of its special construction, whether compressing the Energy Bullet for penetrative damage or detonating it for an explosion, the resulting impact was purely physical.
Monts later, accompanied by the appearance of a disheveled Wizard Apprentice from the dense forest, the giant beast causing the great commotion erged behind him.
"You?!"
The fleeing Wizard Apprentice was slightly startled upon seeing Jeming facing him, but quickly understood his intent from Jeming's gaze and rolled to the other side without hesitation.
"Roar!"
With the crisp sound of trees snapping, a giant beast over ten ters tall burst into view—its rough, heavy gray skin covered in rock-like hard armor, with two rows of sharp bone spurs extending from its spine to its massive tail, each unconscious sweep of which toppled bushes and sent dirt flying.
Its head resembled that of a massive crocodile, with its murky yellow vertical pupils gleaming with cruelty and hunger. Its open mouth revealed jagged, dagger-like teeth, and a foul odor wafted over from a distance.
Its limbs were as sturdy as columns, causing the solid ground to tremble slightly with each step.
"Roar!!"
The deafening roar nearly tore the air apart, charged with primal power and rage as it lunged towards Jeming.
Clearly, it had discovered this new target standing in front of its "fleeing prey."
Jeming's expression remained unchanged as he steadily raised his arm. The ten "gems" on the tal bracer simultaneously lit up and hovered around his wrist, forming a halo of bright light.
Buzz...
A low humming sound emanated from his wrist as a stream of power accelerated through the intricate structure of the bracer.
"Not weak, let's use the energy level of a Third Level Apprentice for now..."
In the next second, the space before Jeming was filled with a storm.
Swish, swish, swish, swish...
Pure streams of bright white light composed entirely of highly concentrated energy shot forth from his wrist at eye-blurring speeds!
Each Energy Bullet resembled a cannonball compressed to its limit, the front end reddening from the high-speed friction with the air, trailing a brief light trail from the tail.
The ten gems on Jeming's wrist lit up rhythmically, with each glow representing the launch of multiple Energy Bullets.
This was the cooling thod Jeming devised for his Talisman Witchcraft Artifact.
He borrowed the design philosophy of a certain Dr. Gatling from his past life and applied it to the creation of his Talisman Witchcraft Artifact.
Upon firing an Energy Bullet, the Talisman would imdiately enter a cooling state, with the next Talisman ready to fire, taking turns without pause.
This ensured a high-frequency attack capability while providing each Talisman Witchcraft Artifact ample ti to cool, avoiding overheating and achieving near-infinite continuous firepower.
In standard combat stance, Jeming regularly used ten Talisman Witchcraft Artifacts intricately embedded on special wristbands on both wrists.
These artifacts were crafted with precision, occupying minimal space, concealing their presence when not in use, but instantaneously deploying into two light rings during combat.
In this stance, he could fire fifty Energy Bullets per second, forming a dense barrage.
The attack frequency was enough to make one's scalp tingle, like a white hot whip made purely of physical impact, continuously lashing at the giant beast's vast form!
Bam, bam, bam, bam!!!
The intense sound of rain on an iron sheet exploded!
The initial strike precisely landed on the giant beast's broad chest and the shoulder area of its arms.
The beast's hardened gray armor was fiercely eroded by the energy barrage, with each light missile exploding with visible shockwave ripples.
The tough keratin layer shattered and peeled under the relentless physical blows!
"Aow-roar!"
The initial roar abruptly shifted to a cry of pained outrage!
The giant beast had never experienced such dense, unreasonable pure force.
Its massive body staggered backward from the relentless kinetic pounding, leaving deep pits with each step.
The bone spurs capable of effortlessly crushing rocks emitted fine cracking sounds in the face of the surging shockwaves!
The giant beast, accustod to roaming this jungle with impunity, was clearly bewildered.
It instinctively tried to lift its massive forelimbs to crush this annoying speck, but the fierce barrage of light bullets battered its upper limbs, preventing it from drawing strength, and instead flipping it over.
It attempted to twist its body to evade, but the light whip followed its every move.
Its yellow vertical pupils distinctly reflected the human figure standing firmly with an outstretched wrist, and the strange tal ring spitting streams of destructive light—which was steadily wearing down its defenses.
