Long Yayue, previously so aggressive, instantly wilted. The solidarity among Shrek's top members, who just now looked ready to unite against Su Wen, collapsed at once.
Tang Sect's Zang Xin felt his throat dry up, eyes unfocused as he stared blankly at more than a dozen awe-inspiring beasts overhead.
Qiangu Dongfeng quietly retreated a step, head lowered, playing dead. Sweat drenched his robes. He wished he could slap himself in the face for ever opening his mouth…
Only Yun Ming could only sigh, covering his face.
Too tough…
He'd already guessed Su Wen was enormously strong, but he'd imagined it was still within "comprehensible" range. Who knew that the true strength Su Wen concealed was unthinkably vast?
He'd barely shown the tip of the iceberg and Yun Ming had already been defeated.
Among these fierce beasts, at least five rivaled the Golden Behemoth. Even the notorious "Mirror Soul," who Yun Ming had only barely defeated with all his strength and seven-tenths of his spirit expended, seemed among the weakest here…
There were six or so other beasts, each with fifty to sixty thousand years of cultivation at "Mirror" level strength…
The Ice Scorpion and Silver-Haired Beauty exuded an icy cold even greater than the Northern Wastelands' top beings.
The ethereal, delicate White Ape wielded a staff comparable to a battle armor—definitely a peak wind attribute beast.
There was also a bizarre, tentacled monster, a blue phoenix circling overhead—these were all nearly million-year-old existences!
Bear in mind: Di Tian's cultivation was just over eighty thousand years. He alone could single-handedly fight against human armies and match Yun Ming.
And these fierce beasts?
Even if the whole coalition defending against the Abyssal Plane returned, they might not stop them…
A real, one-man army.
But such an overpowered "human" cultivator had appeared at Shrek Academy, and no one had even noticed.
A beast tamer!
The top human powerhouses exchanged glances and immediately discerned the truth: every one of those fierce beasts was being controlled by that slender young man!
Yet, this fact made it all the more incomprehensible.
A beast tamer needed to have a compatible Martial Spirit. Thus, they'd always been rare. Looking through the historical records, beast tamers existed but never produced a single top-level expert.
So beast tamer spirits were always ignored.
And now—someone who could command a dozen top fierce beasts appeared…
With his power alone, he was showing the entire Federation, all the continents, just how terrifying a beast tamer could be.
That's right—he still had a dozen or so beasts that could stomp anyone to death at will…
Truly terrifying.
Long Yayue's face turned deathly pale. Her arrogance a moment ago vanished; if she could, she'd have turned and fled—but with Shrek Academy right here, she dared not.
The other Shrek elders went just as white, their pride and shame plain on their faces. Now, they could only pray for salvation by pretending to be dead.
Even the golden ancient tree at the center of the Sea God Pavilion seemed a bit wilted.
Wu Zhangkong's face twitched as he drew Tang Wulin and the other students back. If things blew up, they hadn't yet officially joined Shrek—it shouldn't be too hard to avoid disaster, right?
He looked over at the young man standing calmly, a subtle smile on his lips, unmoved by the events unfolding around him; complexity flickered in Wu Zhangkong's gaze.
To single-handedly suppress so many top human experts—could he really be human?!!
Tang Wulin and the others were shaken.
They'd just left the "beginner village" and were already witnessing a world-shaking powerhouse making his public appearance—an image that would stay with them forever.
"Elder Long, weren't you trying to keep me here?" Su Wen asked, hands clasped behind him, smiling.
Behind him, a crowd of fierce beasts stared hungrily at Long Yayue.
Just you?
"Isn't Shrek Academy going to keep me here?" Su Wen turned to look at the others as well.
Tang Sect's Zang Xin averted his gaze awkwardly. Qiangu Dongfeng forced a smile: "Elder, you must be mistaken. Shrek is my mortal enemy—I'd never help them…"
Leng Yaozhu's lips twitched, and she subtly distanced herself from Qiangu Dongfeng. Though both were leaders at the Spirit Pagoda, they weren't actually close.
After so many millennia, the Tower was controlled by several families: the Qiangu clan was the main power, with three Limit Douluos; the Leng clan only had her.
Qiangu Dongfeng had pursued Leng Yaozhu but failed, so he became resentful…
"I think… the Tower Master is right." She shot a glance at the heavily wounded Yun Ming and, still feeling apprehensive, nodded. (She has a crush on Yun Ming.)
"This is getting boring."
Su Wen sighed lightly.
"I rather preferred your arrogance earlier."
"I… I can act like that again if you want!" Qiangu Dongfeng tried to ingratiate himself with a weak smile.
"Oh? Then you can be first." Su Wen's smile turned sharp.
Qiangu Dongfeng: "..."
Boom!
His body shot backwards instantly. A seemingly harmless white-haired young girl, lips pursed in a pout, now stood where he'd been, rotating her wrist. "So slow…"
With that, she vanished again.
She became a streak of colored light, rushing toward the airborne Qiangu Dongfeng, who had just activated both his battle armor and Martial Spirit in a panic. He wielded a Panlong Cudgel, the spirit of a true dragon attached, revealing a mighty hundred-foot form with fearsome dragon roars. But just one glance at Gu Yuena, who looked at him playfully, and he withered.
The Dragon God's aura exerted absolute bloodline suppression on any dragon. He couldn't even fight back—he was scared stiff.
As the dragon soul spirit retreated into the cudgel in terror, Qiangu Dongfeng cursed his fate and braced himself to fight.
But without the dragon soul, even with his armor, he got mercilessly beaten.
Finally, the Nine-Colored Dragon Spear became a meteor, piercing Qiangu Dongfeng's abdomen and pinning him to Shrek Academy's training field.
The plaque reading "New Student" was wiped clean…
"Pfft~"
Blood trickled from Qiangu Dongfeng's lips. Wild-eyed, he screamed, "Why must you kill me? I have no grudge with you! Why let Shrek go and attack me first?!"
"Tower Master!!!"
In the sky, several elite mecha fleets swept over; their black-level team leaders were instantly shocked and furious to see their Tower Master pinned to the ground, about to charge in.
But Qiangu Dongfeng stopped them, eyes fixed on Su Wen, desperately seeking an answer…
