Chapter 68 The Soul Beasts Have Grown Stronger Again?
The Prestige of the Collapse Academy Is Still Rising Behind Yu Yuanzhen, an elder said bitterly, "Sect Master, the existence of auspicious beasts means that the overall strength of the Star Dou Great Forest will expand rapidly in the next few decades."
"If our clan cannot find an opportunity to rise again, I'm afraid our disciples will have difficulty growing, and at that time, we may not even be able to reach the position of the Three Great Sects..."
Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and a glint of desperate light flashed in his eyes: "We can't hesitate any longer! Immediately inventory the clan treasury and bring along that 'True Dragon Treasure' that has been passed down to this day!"
"I want to go to the Collapse Academy again in person. Even if it costs everything, I must secure a few core student spots for my clan's disciples!"
"Only by boarding the ark of the Collapse Academy can my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan possibly find a glimmer of hope in this upcoming era of soul beasts!"
He had completely staked the fate of his clan on Zhang Yi and his academy.
Collapse Academy, Martial Arts Arena Spectator Area.
"What a beautiful little beast!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up. A woman's natural attraction to beautiful and adorable things instantly drew her to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes also flashed with amazement: "A combination of beauty, auspiciousness, and power—truly worthy of being called an imperial auspicious beast."
Shui Bing'er, sensing the aura of light and fire, seemed to understand: "The ultimate light and fire can be so gentle and full of life."
Dugu Yan clicked her tongue: "It can accelerate the growth of all the soul beasts in the entire forest? This ability is too overpowered!"
Standing to the side, Ning Fengzhi listened to the innocent and romantic discussions of these little girls, exchanged a glance with Sword Bone Douluo, and both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
"Rongrong," Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and whispered to his daughter beside him, "In the academy, remember to be careful with your words and actions, and cultivate diligently. No matter how great the turmoil outside, as long as you are within this academy, you are safe."
"In the future… perhaps only with sufficient power can one cope with this unpredictable situation."
He was increasingly grateful that he had placed his bets on the Collapse Academy so early.
Chen Xin, clutching the Seven Kill Sword, remained silent, but his tightly pursed lips betrayed his inner turmoil.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong muttered under his breath, "Damn it, finding a suitable soul bone will be even harder in the future!"
The Heaven Dou Royal Family, the Star Luo Empire, and other forces secretly issued orders to strengthen border defenses, reassess all policies related to soul beasts, and more urgently seek channels of communication with the Honkai Academy.
The inclusion of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion on the list was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples in the human world far deeper than any previous ferocious beast.
It brought not immediate terror, but a deep-seated fear and sense of urgency about the future, concerning the rise and fall of races.
The situation on the continent thus became even more delicate and tense.
However, in the Honkai Academy's viewing area, the atmosphere was completely different.
Compared to the anxieties of other forces, the teachers and students here reacted with nothing short of "arrogance."
It was as if the sky was revealing not a potential threat, but an interesting opportunity.
"Wow! What a beautiful and majestic golden cat!"
Kiana's eyes lit up as she pointed at the three-eyed golden lion in the sky, excitedly shaking Raiden Mei's arm. "Mei, Mei! Look at it! It's glittering and even emits auspicious halos!"
"How about we catch it and make it the academy's mascot? It's definitely much more impressive than that Houmu statue in Principal Theresa's office! We can take it on missions, and it's guaranteed to drop soul bones every time!"
Raiden Mei sighed and pressed down on the restless Kiana, scolding, "Idiot Kiana! That's the Emperor Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, not some pet you can just catch and keep! Besides, it's related to the rise and fall of the entire soul beast race. Do you want to start a full-scale war?"
Bronya, expressionless, controlled the Heavy Armored Rabbit and gently tapped Kiana on the head, calmly remarking, "Idiot Kiana's thought process is truly incomprehensible. Target 'Emperor Beast' strategic value assessment: extremely high."
"However, the risks of capture and subsequent management costs are beyond control and will seriously disrupt the existing ecological balance, leading to an unstable supply of high-quality 'hunting resources.'"
"Conclusion: It is recommended to maintain observation and potential cooperation, rather than domestication. Kiana's suggestion is rejected!"
Kiana, suppressed by the two of them, pouted, but still muttered unconvinced in a low voice, "What does it matter? When I'm stronger in the future, I'll go to the core area one day when I'm in a bad mood and 'borrow' it to play with for a few days..."
At this moment, Himeko laughed heartily and patted Li Sushang's shoulder hard: "Hahaha! What a good thing! This little guy's ability is simply a super accelerator for our future 'hunting plan'!"
"The fatter and higher the quality of the soul beasts in Star Dou Forest it raises, the more and better choices our students will have when they need soul rings, right?"
"Think about it, from now on we'll be hunting top-tier soul beasts that have been nourished by auspicious energy and have purified their bloodlines.
The probability of getting a 100,000-year-old soul bone might even increase several times over!" Li Sushang's eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement: "That makes sense. We're not afraid of soul beasts that are nearly a million years old, so why would we be afraid of the bodyguards of those imperial auspicious beasts? The strengthening of soul beasts might be bad news for other human forces, but for our Collapse Academy, it's an opportunity!"
Listening to the teachers and students' "arrogant" remarks, which almost regarded the Star Dou Great Forest as their own backyard and powerful soul beasts as resources to be harvested, Zhang Yi couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
He took a sip of tea, his gaze sweeping over the group of overconfident teachers and students, and said leisurely, "It's good that you're confident, but I still don't recommend killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Only hunt spirit beasts when you need spirit rings."
"If we push the spirit beasts too far, we still have the power to protect ourselves, but other human forces are a different story."
These words perfectly showcased the confidence and detachment of the Collapse Academy. They weren't incapable of dealing with spirit beasts, but they didn't want to provoke an ultimate war between humans and spirit beasts.
Gu Yuena, the ruler of the spirit beasts, likely understood this as well. The spirit beasts' enemies weren't the humans on Douluo Star, but those madmen from the God Realm!
Above the sky, the peaceful golden light of the Emperor Beast hadn't completely faded. Suddenly, an extremely abrupt, soul-chillingly terrifying evil aura, like ink dripping into clear water, abruptly polluted the entire sky!
The scene instantly darkened, no longer the vibrant core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, but a gloomy, desolate, dark valley.
Corpses littered the ground, bones scattered everywhere, and the air reeked of nauseating decay and blood.
In the center of this deathly realm, a giant tiger slowly emerged.
