The poor Fierce Wild Boarman couldn't keep up with his speed at all, and could only grunt and puff as it struggled to chase after him.
In less than two minutes, Pei Ze reached the central hall.
At almost the same time, figures rushed out from the hall's other three exits.
The one directly across from Pei Ze was none other than the golden-haired, blue-eyed girl he had just seen.
From the left exit came two Wizard Apprentices wearing leather armor under their black robes, their auras sharp and capable.
To the right were three young apprentices. Judging by the badges on their chests, they were students from the Shadow Academy.
Pei Ze and Xiao Xi's eyes met from across the hall.
A flicker of understanding passed between them. In an instant, they reached a silent agreement and sprang forward, one heading left and the other right, each charging toward a stone pillar holding a Rainbow Gemstone.
