Whoosh!
Wielding a longsword, the Autumn Water Dragon surged forth, its power amplified by the surrounding spirit formations, growing ever more profound and solid as if it were meant for this form.
As it approached Yang Lie, it had already transformed into a true dragon of sword energy, radiating ferocious might.
Yang Lie's eyes widened, and he gripped his long staff tightly.
He unleashed the Blazing Sun Staff Technique to its fullest extent, a towering staff shadow hovering above everyone's heads before crashing down upon the Autumn Water Dragon.
A raging gale howled from the point of impact, scattering everyone in the arena.
Lin Yutang, however, was utterly astonished.
"Such a talent... no, a prodigy! To unleash a top-level advanced martial skill using spiritual formations, further amplified by numerous arrays—its power is comparable to a Third Rank mid-stage martial artist's full-force attack!"
Even he, a Sixth Rank martial artist, had never witnessed such a method of casting a spell, let alone a Second Rank martial artist.
This was a groundbreaking feat!
It wasn't just a simple accumulation. It was a perfect fusion of vital and spiritual energy, unleashing exponentially explosive damage.
After this battle, no one would dare say that Ling Qingxue was completely carried by Wu Liang!
Chen Xiao's pupils narrowed to pinpoints, his palms secretly channeling energy.
What a fucking piece of trash! Even on drugs, he can't beat her!
As the dust settled, Ling Qingxue stood spotless at the edge of the fighting arena.
Meanwhile, Yang Lie was sent flying by the Autumn Water Dragon attack, his long staff nowhere to be seen. His body was covered in blood and gore, his shirt torn to shreds by countless sword energies.
"Damn it, taking off your clothes in front of my wife and acting like a pervert! You have a death wish!" Wu Liang cursed.
Yang Lie coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, but his aura didn't weaken at all. Instead, it rapidly increased, his entire body shrouded in a ferocious, beast-like aura.
Ling Qingxue frowned slightly, her face turning cold.
"Beast Transformation Potion! Teacher Lin, capture Chen Xiao immediately!"
She initially thought Yang Lie had only taken a temporary, potent forbidden drug, but a forbidden drug couldn't last this long, much less possess such beastly power!
Upon hearing this, Lin Yutang was instantly enraged.
His aura as a Sixth Rank martial artist erupted, and he charged towards Chen Xiao.
"Chen Xiao, you've actually sided with the Beast King Cult! You're courting death!"
Seeing the situation exposed so quickly, Chen Xiao stopped pretending, his long-suppressed demonic beast aura surfacing from his body.
"Little girl, you have such insight? I'm even more eager to capture you for research. But I haven't sided with the Beast King Cult. I am the Ninth Protector of the Beast King Cult. You're all just stupid!"
The atmosphere instantly turned tense, cold sweat beading on Lin Yutang's palms.
The Beast King Cult had three Elders and nine Protectors!
The Protectors were at least Seventh Rank martial artists, and the Elders at least Ninth Rank; their strength was undeniable.
Fortunately, Shen Congwu was also a Seventh Rank martial artist. Otherwise, Chen Xiao alone could have wiped out everyone here!
In just a moment, Shen Congwu appeared on the fighting arena. His gaze swept over Chen Xiao, and he understood immediately.
"Yutang, you take all the students and leave. I'll hold him off!"
Chen Xiao's attack was overwhelming, giving them no time to prepare. Even if Lin Zhennan were to come to their aid, it would take more than an hour.
Lin Yutang nodded. "Principal, be careful. This guy is very strong."
After saying that, he began organizing the students to evacuate.
Seeing this, Wu Liang immediately went up and slapped Yang Lie, who had just gotten up, killing him instantly and then sprinkling black flames to burn him to ashes.
Those who act like villains must die!
Wu Liang also didn't forget to devour the Fiery Lion; after all, it was a Second Rank peak magical beast.
The other students from Nanhua Middle School were completely bewildered.
How did they become accomplices of the Beast King Cult? They knew nothing about it!
"Take us with you! We're good people!"
The students from Lingtian Middle School glared fiercely at them. "Damn it! Your teachers are Beast King Cult Protectors, and you still have the nerve to call yourselves good people? We're being kind by not killing you!"
"No, we really are good people! We didn't know anything…"
Ling Qingxue's spiritual power swept over them.
"They truly don't know. Take them with you. Yang Lie probably also didn't know that the potion was a Beast Transformation Potion."
Lin Yutang was slightly startled. "Qingxue, how do you know?"
"Because the Beast Transformation Potion will corrupt others. Chen Xiao made Yang Lie take it not to defeat me, but to corrupt me, and even everyone here!"
Once the beastly energy emitted by the Beast Transformation Potion entered another person's body, it would affect the martial artist's spirit. However, the corruption effect gradually decreased with each instance of corruption.
Fortunately, Yang Lie had only taken the medicine for a short time and hadn't absorbed much of its power. He didn't release much of the demonic beast energy, thus minimizing the impact.
Once the contamination spread, none of the martial artists below the Third Rank at Lingtian Middle School would escape the effect of beast-transformation.
Lin Yutang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, his expression filled with resentment.
"I'll take you to the dormitory building first. You stay in there and absolutely cannot come out. Leave the rest to us teachers!"
"Teacher Lin, we need to guard the school gate immediately, or it will be too late!" Ling Qingxue said in a deep voice.
"How could that be? Chen Xiao alone can't cause much trouble!"
Ling Qingxue's expression darkened.
"If my guess is correct, the provincial governor and the Education Bureau won't be able to send anyone for at least four hours!
Not only that, Chen Xiao definitely came prepared. There's a high probability that a beast hybrids uprising has already broken out outside the school. Once the half-beasts break through the school gates, Lingtian Middle School will suffer heavy casualties!"
Chen Xiao knew Shen Congwu was at Lingtian Middle School, yet he still dared to enter so boldly, so he must have something to rely on.
Moreover, Beiming Feng left in such a hurry that day. He was a King Rank martial artist with formidable strength. Why was he in such a rush?
It seemed the Beast King Cult had planned this all along!
And even…
Ling Qingxue felt the Beast King Cult had come for Wu Liang.
Wu Liang's Taotie bloodline was incredibly precious, possibly even the only Taotie bloodline on Blue Star. This was exactly what the Beast King Cult wanted most.
By researching the secrets of the Taotie bloodline, the Beast King Cult's strength would increase exponentially!
Lin Yutang gritted his teeth, momentarily unable to make a decision.
But this was the last hope of Nanchuan Province!
"Let's go! Everyone, follow me to seal off the school gates! No one is allowed to attack the half-beasts!"
…
The Martial Arts Arena.
Shen Congwu and Chen Xiao's auras clashed repeatedly; a battle between Seventh Rank martial artists was enough to destroy most of Lingtian Middle School.
"Chen Xiao, get out of Lingtian Middle School immediately, or you will die today!"
Chen Xiao sneered, his eyes as cold and ruthless as a beast's.
"Fool, do you think stopping me here will do any good? Haven't you considered that it's actually me who wants to keep you here?"
Shen Congwu's breath hitched, his spiritual energy probing outside of school.
He sensed a large number of hybrids outside Lingtian Middle School, even… members of the Beast King Cult.
Among them were Sixth Rank martial artists, whom Lin Yutang could withstand with his strength, but what about the densely packed half-beasts?
The strongest students of Lingtian Middle School were only at the Third Rank. Even if those martial artists corrupted by the beast-transforming drug were just low-level half-beasts, they were by no means weaker than those students.
"Chen Xiao, what exactly is the purpose of your Beast King Cult?" Shen Congwu questioned angrily.
Chen Xiao's eyes turned cold.
"The Taotie! I will take Taotie away today. Hand over that Taotie, or the Beast King Cult will destroy Lingtian Middle School!"
