...However, the wolves were in hot pursuit.
...
Inside the mountain range, the howling of wolves could be heard echoing through the canyon valley.
At the sound, the wolves gathered from all over the place.
Shen Fei's eyes flashed coldly as he looked at the Wolf King, the leader of the pack. "You lured the wolves here to attack us!"
There were still traces of blood on the canyon's stone walls. They were the remains of the three academy students they had lost.
With a thought, the Flame Owl flew back and perched on his shoulder.
Shen Fei's eyes narrowed as he activated his spirit beast's bloodline. "Flame Owl, Flaming Bramble Inferno!"
The Flame Owl's wings spread out, turning into a cloud of fire. Red feathers extended from the monstrous firestorm. Then, the feathers fell to the ground, forming a roiling sea of fire.
