Robin opened his eyes, feeling the surging Life Force within his body.

Practicing the Bear Rage Breathing Method together boosted his strength and stamina noticeably, especially the total Life Force exceeding 3200, giving him greater endurance and burst power in battle.

"The effect of the Dragon Devouring Breathing Method is indeed powerful…" Robin muttered softly, a flash of excitement crossing his eyes.

"So this is a Great Knight? Truly far stronger than a Knight," Robin thought to himself.

At that moment, a rapid footstep sound came from outside the door.

Robin quickly packed his things and looked warily toward the doorway.

"Luo Yi, are you there?" it was Hui Shu's voice, tinged with a hint of anxiety.

Hui Shu was the person placed by Lao Mao in the academy, responsible for monitoring Robin's safety and also serving as Robin's contact with Lao Mao.

Robin rose, opened the small window of his door, and found Hui Shu standing outside, his face solemn: "Something's happened, a large number of Black Wizards have appeared outside the academy, they seem to be looking for something."

Robin's heart tightened: "Black Wizards? How did they end up here?"

Hui Shu shook his head: "Unclear, but their goal is obvious, they seem to be looking for a person, perhaps you. The academy has heightened its guard, be careful yourself, this might be an opportunity."

Robin nodded, feeling a vague unease inside.

The arrival of the Black Wizards was no coincidence; it was likely aimed at him.

The secrets of those Gold Coins and Soul‑Eating Crystals had clearly drawn the Black Wizards' attention.

"I've been ready for a long time," Robin whispered, "If the Black Wizards truly charge at me, the academy might not be able to protect me."

Hui Shu nodded, saying, "Take care of yourself, I'm preparing to evacuate the academy."

Robin nodded, patting Hui Shu's shoulder: "Thank you."

At that moment, the academy's alarm blared, the shrill sound echoing across the whole academy sky.

"Attention everyone! Black Wizards invading! All trainees proceed to the safe zone immediately!" the broadcast announced urgently.

Robin and Hui Shu exchanged a glance.

"Step back, I'll blast the door open."

Hui Shu stepped aside immediately.

With a huge bang, Robin burst out of the room.

The corridor was already in chaos, trainees fleeing in panic, while the academy's guards were fully armed, ready to repel the invaders.

"We must leave here as soon as possible!" Robin whispered.

Hui Shu nodded: "Follow me, I know a secret passage."

The two hurried through the chaotic corridor, arriving at a hidden passage beneath the academy.

This was a passage Hui Shu had stumbled upon by chance, never expecting it to be useful now.

As they were about to enter the passage, a cold voice came from behind.

"Luobin Gabriel, do you think you can escape?"

Robin whirled around, seeing a man in a black robe staring coldly at him.

The man's eyes flickered with a strange light, a pitch‑black staff in his hand, his body radiating dense Black Dark Magic.

"Ka Jia Ni…" Robin whispered the name, his heart full of vigilance.

Ka Jia Ni sneered: "Didn't expect you'd still remember me. But today is your death day."

Robin tightened his grip on his sword, whispering to Hui Shu: "You go first, I'll hold him back."

Hui Shu nodded: "Take care of yourself!"

Robin quickly entered combat mode, the Life Force and Magic Power within his body surged simultaneously, preparing to face this life‑or‑death battle.

Ka Jia Ni swung his staff, a jet of jet‑black energy surged straight at Robin and the gray mouse.

Robin swiftly brandished his sword, cleaving the energy wave, yet the powerful impact still forced him to step back a few paces.

"Not bad, Great Knight, it seems your time hasn't been wasted," Ka Jia Ni sneered. "But this is still far from enough!"

Ka Jia Ni waved his staff again, the surrounding air seemed devoured by darkness, countless black tendrils erupted from the ground, lunging at Robin and the gray mouse.

Robin quickly cast Earth Explosion Arrow; the arrow struck the ground, unleashing intense earth Elemental Energy that drove the black tendrils back.

The gray mouse seized the chance to flee the battlefield.

Then Robin unleashed a triple shot; Ka Jia Ni merely waved a hand, and a black barrier rose before him, the arrowheads emitting a harsh screech, yet unable to pierce through.

"The power of the ant dares to oppose me?" Ka Jia Ni sneered, then swung his staff, a jet of jet‑black energy surged straight at Robin.

Robin saw the jet‑black energy wave bearing down on him, and a warning bell rang loudly in his mind.

He understood that Ka Jia Ni had already advanced from Third-Class Apprentice to First Ring Wizard, and recalling everything that occurred in the Brot Viscount's Domain, he instantly realized the Soul‑Eating Crystal must be in Ka Jia Ni's hands; otherwise such a rapid breakthrough would be impossible, and only Ka Jia Ni could know his own identity, shifting all the blame onto him.

Upon reflection, Robin had no intention of hard‑blocking this strike.

He swiftly rolled to the side, narrowly evading the direct impact of the energy wave, yet the aftershock still shook him, his blood surging and a thin line of fresh blood spilling from his mouth.

"First Ring Wizard truly terrifying..." Robin thought to himself, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

Ka Jia Ni saw Robin dodge his attack and sneered, "Your reaction is indeed quick, but how many times can you keep dodging?"

He swung his staff again, the surrounding Black Dark Magic coalesced swiftly, forming countless black Sharp Blades that hovered in the air, pointing directly at Robin.
