Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

In the sky, three figures and three giant birds chased and fought each other, displaying various divine and extraordinary magic spells, creating quite a spectacle.

The remaining two teams of the Candlelight Army below had already gathered together and, together with Bai Yu, protected the ten students behind them.

"Watch out, a meteor shower is coming!" a member of the Moyu team warned.

High in the sky, more than a dozen huge fireballs were still falling.

Shen Yuan only protected a few people with the vortex shield, without deliberately intercepting all the meteor shower.

The range of the meteor shower is too large; intercepting them one by one would be troublesome and take a long time.

The Candlelight Army below was quite powerful, and even if a few fell, Shen Yuan believed the students would not be in any danger.

That's exactly what happened.

"Tan Lang, Xiao Feng!" Watching the falling meteor shower, Zuo Jinxiu quickly devised a countermeasure.

Tan Lang raised his head, and a blue storm enveloped everyone's heads.

Several meteor showers fell into the storm, shrinking continuously in the howling winds until they were completely extinguished.

"The battle doesn't seem to be going very well." Bai Yu frowned as he watched the aftershocks of the battle, his mind racing with thoughts.

In the sky, the Flamebird and the Frostswan launched a new attack.

"How about we follow the strategy used against mage squads, targeting the healer first and then focusing fire on taking down that Azure Phoenix?" Shen Yuan suggested while casting various defensive spells.

However, Shen Yuan's tone lacked confidence.

After all, he had been a teacher for so many years, so his combat experience was actually not very rich.

They could barely be considered theorists; they were just armchair strategists.

Huang Ya sized up Shen Yuan: "This... teacher, you must also be a support-type, right?"

Shen Yuan nodded: "Moreover, I did not absorb any divine-grade attack magic."

He possesses Azure Feather Wind Wings and a Vortex Shield, giving him advantages in mobility and defensive capabilities, which is why he was chosen to protect the students.

As for facing these three magical beasts, if Shen Yuan were to adopt a support mentality, he would be assisting... well, assisting the other two support characters.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Huang Ya shook his head. "Qing Luan also has a divine-grade defensive magic—the Azure Ring. Even if Mo Yu and I joined forces, we couldn't kill it instantly. Besides, it's unlikely that Yan Que and Shuang Hu would let us attack Qing Luan successfully."

"This is really troublesome." Mo Yu's face was gloomy. "How are we supposed to fight with three support-type characters like us?"

Although Mo Yu was fortunate enough to absorb the extremely powerful attack magic, Holy Light Judgment Spear, he only knew this one spell.

As for Huang Ya, although he also possesses one or two divine-grade attack spells, their power is not as great as his Holy Light Judgment Spear.

"We're already in the safe zone. Should we notify Commander Zhang to bring reinforcements?" Huang Ya suggested.

"We're the only two people in the entire Lingnan Shaqiao area who can fly. By the time Commander Zhang urgently sends reinforcements, it'll be too late," Mo Yu suggested. "If all else fails, we'll just keep attacking and wear them down."

Yellow Crow shook his head.

These three magical beasts were clearly not the kind of stubborn creatures; they would never allow themselves to fall into a state of utter exhaustion.

Moreover, the three magical beasts rely on their own instincts to fly, while the three of them, including Huang Ya, have to constantly consume magic power to cast spells. It's not certain who can outlast whom.

"How about we descend a bit and lure those three birds into our teammates' attack range?" As a support mage, when powerful damage output is needed, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely one's teammates.

"No way," Shen Yuan was the first to stand up and object.

Although Shen Yuan believed that if the Azure Phoenix came within attack range, the Candlelight Army below would be able to find an opportunity to kill it instantly, the attack range was also mutual.

Both the Flame Sparrow and the Frost Swan possess multiple powerful, high-grade attack spells with wide-range attacks. If just two spells land in the crowd, the students' safety cannot be guaranteed.

Shen Yuan was a teacher, not a member of the Candlelight Army; he would definitely prioritize the safety of his students.

Mo Yu was getting a little frustrated. Nothing was going to work, and he couldn't just stay stuck like this.

"Should we get rid of that Azure Phoenix first..." At this moment, Shen Yuan thought of another idea: "Team Leader Huang, ask Bai Yu if he can imprison that Azure Phoenix in the Void Realm."

It's not necessary to instantly kill Qingluan; we just need to prevent Qingluan's healing magic from affecting Yanque and Shuanghu.

"The Void Realm? So Bai Yu absorbed spatial magic later." Huang Ya was taken aback, then used wind whispering to transmit his voice to Bai Yu's ears below.

Upon hearing Huang Ya's words, Bai Yu realized just how troublesome the three magical beasts in the sky were.

"The Azure Phoenix itself has no offensive magic, but my Void Realm can trap it, although the conditions are rather harsh."

Bai Yu quickly explained the required conditions:

"First, I need to control the Azure Phoenix for at least one second. Second, I need to get within five meters of the Azure Phoenix. Of course, this shouldn't be difficult for me."

Finally, within the one second I open the illusory realm and imprison the Azure Phoenix, I must ensure that my illusory realm is not breached by the other two demonic beasts.

Although the Void Realm can create an independent space, Bai Yu's Void Realm is only a divine-grade magic, and its strength is not yet impregnable.

The moment the illusory realm is unleashed, many attack spells of the same grade can directly shatter it.

Normally, Bai Yu only uses the virtual world to store his luggage and to pretend to be himself.

Although Bai Yu had briefly imprisoned Ayman Morris in the Void Realm, Ayman Morris dared not resist.

If Ayman Morris were to unleash some powerful divine-grade attack magic within the Void Realm, he might have a chance to break through Bai Yu's Void Realm directly from within.

Of course, if Emmanuel Morris dared to do that, he would definitely not fare well.

The three people in the air lit up when they heard Bai Yu explain the prerequisites.

These conditions were not particularly demanding for the three exceptionally skilled mid-level support mages.

At most, it just requires some tacit understanding when cooperating.

"It's worth a try." Mo Yu crouched down, lowering his center of gravity. The auspicious clouds beneath his feet propelled him in a series of maneuvers, dodging the lingering frost. His annoyance was replaced by a smile. "Who will go and bring this teacher up?"

"No need, I'll go up myself." Bai Yu looked up, her eyes fixed on Qingluan's figure, estimating the distance and deducing its location:

"Try to lure these three magical beasts toward the South China Sea base. After twenty seconds, control the Azure Phoenix and ensure that there are no divine-grade attack spells within a ten-meter radius of it."

"No problem, Huang Ya, teacher, let's get started." Mo Yu took the lead in changing direction, silently counting down in his mind as he flew in an arc towards the Nansha base.

Huang Ya and Shen Yuan followed immediately.

"Please protect my students," Bai Yu instructed the surrounding Candlelight Army.

"Don't worry, Teacher Bai. No matter what happens, the six of us will definitely stand in front of the students," Zuo Jinxiu assured her.

Bai Yu nodded gently, then looked at the Azure Phoenix, which was always hiding behind the Flame Sparrow and Frost Swan in the sky.

About five seconds later, Bai Yu suddenly disappeared into the desert.
