Chapter 401.1. The Savage Beasts Enter Battle


    He wasnt the only one with this thought in mind. Whether it was the Tang Sect or Shreks Seven Monsters, everyone was used to fighting with Huo Yuhao as the main control-type soul master. His Spiritual Detection shared with everyone in battle was the most important guarantee for everyones survival. However, nobody knew where Huo Yuhao was, and he was nowhere to be seen even until now.


    Bei Bei rubbed his fists forcefully, and a determined look appeared in his eyes. He lowered his voice and said, Whether or not this beast wave has anything to do with Yuhao, he will always be a part of the Tang Sect, and he will always be the most important part. I will use our sects strength to protect him no matter what the cost may be. I hope you guys can understand.


    Xu Sanshi saidzily, Why are you saying all that? Do you think any of us will object? The new generation of Shreks Seven Monsters are one, and the Tang Sect is one. One mans glory is everyones glory. Furthermore, Yuhaos role in the beast wave was lighting the fuse, at most.


    Bei Bei scanned everyones faces, and could tell that nobody had any intention to object. He heaved a sigh of relief inside. Wasnt he also carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders?


    Deafening booms echoed out once more as stationary soul cannon shells began to show their fearsome powers explosively. Different beams of light glowed one after another, andrge masses of soul beasts perished with each instance.


    The Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannons were still firing crazily from the top of the city wall. The other soul tools and shock bombs that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect had provided were being unleashed onto the battlefield without any reservation at all.


    However, the soul beasts were forging ahead, and still drawing closer and closer to Shrek City. The smell of smoke from guns permeated the air, but the wild stench spreading from those soul beasts was even more prating.


    Right at this moment, the four Savage Beasts who were hovering in midair finally made their move. Except for the Emerald Swan, who was moving forward slowly, the other three Savage Beasts were flying towards the top of Shreks city wall with lightning speed. They werent the only ones moving; every Savage Beast had twenty to thirty soul beasts of many different kinds following behind them and moving along with them. There was no exception, and all of those soul beasts possessed the ability to fly.


    They were able to follow the Savage Beasts into battle, and this meant their strengths were worthy. Ferocious shadows gradually appeared one after another in the sky, and they were all soul beasts who had at least fifty thousand years of cultivation. Some of them had more than a hundred thousand years of cultivation.


    This group was the true main force of the soul beast army; the main force that could determine the oue of this battle.


    The frightening force of the stationary soul cannon shells had unsettled these four Savage Beasts. They discussed with each other via their own specialmunication methods unique only to them, and they decided to attack with full force.


    The deaths of normal soul beasts didnt really affect the Great Star Dou Forest, but if too many soul beasts died, the forest would still be shaken to its very roots. In the end, top-tier soul beasts were once low-tier soul beasts, and which soul beast didnt need an ascension process to be a powerful individual? Would the Great Star Dou Forest still have a future if too many low-tier soul beasts perished?


    Therefore, even though they knew very well that Shrek City wasnt sufficiently spent or exhausted, they had no other choice but to activate their main force that could truly determine the oue of battle. They had to send out their truly mighty beasts!


    Everyone from Shrek City was as solemn as could be as they watched therge masses of powerful soul beasts flying toward them in the sky.


    Of the four different sides, the Emerald Swan flew behind everyone else toward the southern city wall, and over thirty mighty soul beasts flew in front of her. There were seven or eight soul beasts who had at least a hundred thousand years of cultivation, and there were more hundred thousand year soul beasts in this group than the other three sides. The Emerald Swan was a Savage Beast, but her direct fighting strength wasnt that strong. In terms of her auxiliary powers and her healing abilities, however, not a single human could match her might. With her around, these formidable soul beasts fighting strengths undoubtedly doubled! Nobody was willing to start a fight like this, but did Shrek City have a choice?


    There were rtively few hundred-thousand-year soul beasts on the other three sides, but they were charging toward the city with the Savage Beasts who were more adept at fighting.


    The Savage Beast who was charging at the fastest pace was the king of the Darkgolden Terrorw Bears, the Savage Beast who was known for his violent and fierce temperament: the Bear Lord!


    The Bear Lords tremendous frame and aura alone gave everyone in Shrek City a feeling as if a mountain was bearing down upon them. Among the defenders on this side, two members of the Sea Gods Pavilion rose up to meet this Savage Beast: the Valkyrie Douluo, Xian Liner, and her husband, the Vice-Dean of Shrek Academys Soul Tool Department, Qian Duoduo.


    The Bear Lords body was simply too massive. Even though he could rely on his formidable cultivation to soar through the sky, he still looked a little clumsy.


    The Bear Lord had four hundred and seventy thousand years of cultivation, and that meant he was more powerful than the Ice Empress even when she was at her peak condition. The standards of the Bear Lords soul power was close to that of a Rank 97 Titled Douluo. Furthermore, he was a Darkgolden Terrorw Bear! A Darkgolden Terrorw Bear with four hundred and seventy thousand years of cultivation possessed such formidable direct fighting strength that a typical Ultimate Douluo wouldnt be confident of defeating him. The Bear Lord was an overbearing presence in the Great Star Dou Forest that nobody dared to disturb.


    Xian Liner stood on the battlement calmly. The long-range attacks that those soul beasts beneath her fired were immediately sliced into pieces by a formless power when they reached within a hundred meters of her. Their attacks vanished into thin air, and could no longer cause any damage.


    Xian Liner arrived on the western side of the city after she decided to use all the stationary soul cannon shells, her goal being to challenge the Bear Lord.


    Initially, this task didnt fall to her. She was giving herself more pressure.


    Ever since she broke through Rank 95 and became a Transcendent Douluo, she felt that raising her soul power even further was unbelievably difficult, and she finally understood why Yan Shaozhe spent so many years after reaching Rank 95 to ascend another rank. Yan Shaozhe had only recently reached Rank 96, and he wasuded as the number-one prodigy of their generation!


    Reality proved that Shrek Academy had nevercked talent, but even talented and gifted individuals would have exhausted all their talent by the time they became Transcendent Douluo.


    Every further step after Rank 95 was incredibly challenging, but every rank also meant an immense increase in strength at the same time. Xian Liner had once asked Elder Xuan how she could go even further. Elder Xuan told her that humans were like receptacles, and only sufficiently strong pressure could give them enough push and motivation to ignite their potential.


    How many people could give Xian Liner this pressure in the world today? With Shrek Academys environment and surroundings and her status, they would never allow her to take this risk!


    However, Shrek no longer had a way out in their current circumstances. The soaring Valkyrie was already full of boundless belligerence and fighting intent. Therefore, she found the Bear Lord, who possessed the strongest frontal fighting strength amongst the four Savage Beasts, and who was also the king of the Darkgolden Terrorw Bears.


    Qian Duoduo didnt stand on the top of the city wall like Xian Liner did. He quietly stood at a position further back on the city wall, but ayer of formidable soul power undtions permeated his surroundings.


    Qian Duoduos cultivation rank was lower than Xian Liners. He had been stuck at Rank 94 for quite some time. Furthermore, he could feel that he would never break through this threshold and ascend to Rank 95 through his entire lifetime, if he didnt run into some miraculous encounter.


    Therefore, he channeled more of his time and energy into researching soul tools. Ever since Xuan Ziwen had arrived, Qian Duoduo had lowered his attitude, and he had long be a frequent guest of the Tang Sects Soul Tool Hall. He seemed to have found a direction to break through from ss 8 to ss 9 in recent days. In the end, he was a true Titled Douluo, and he wasnt like the Sun Moon Empires ss 9 soul engineers, who became Titled Douluo through various cheap methods. Qian Duoduos solid soul power rank meant there were many things he could do when he became a ss 9 soul engineer.


    There was a row of metal barrels of many different colors nted on the ground in front of him at this moment. There were seven in total, and they were all of varying lengths, thickness, and colors, while every single one seemed to have their own unique characteristics. He was just standing calmly behind these seven barrels as he silently watched Xian Liner, who was standing on the battlements. His face was as calm as ever, and there were many other people standing on top of the city wall on this side. This group included seven teachers from the inner courtyard, and another elder from the Sea Gods Pavilion, along with some students from the inner courtyard.


    Wu Ming, whose martial soul was a Golden Crow, was part of this group, along with the boyfriend that she had walked away with from the Sea Gods Fate, Chu Qingtian. More urately put, Chu Qingtian was her husband now.


    Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian stood shoulder to shoulder. Chu Qingtian seemed a little mncholic, but Wu Mings eyes were filled with excitement, as if there were mes dancing in her eyes. She was one of the Demon Ladies from Shrek Academys inner courtyard, and she had always possessed a thirst for battle.


    Wu Ming hugged Chu Qingtian across the shoulders and whispered, Rx a little, dont be so nervous. Havent we been cultivating hard so that we can fight? A big asion like this isnt something that we can encounter at any time.


    Chu Qingtianughed bitterly and said, I would rather never face a big asion such as this for my entire life!


    Wu Ming patted him on his back and said, Dont worry. I will do my best to protect youter on.


    Chu Qingtian rolled his eyes and said, Please, Im the one who should be saying that, right?


    Wu Ming giggled and said, Who will protect who isnt determined by gender, its determined by fighting strength.


    The soul beasts flying through the sky had arrived as the two of them exchanged words.


    The Bear Lord was within one kilometer from Shrek City, and Xian Liner shouted as she applied strength through the tips of her toes, and soared into the sky like an arrow.


    The sky was the battlefield for powerful individuals at their level.


    Two beams of red light emerged from the Bear Lords eyes, and he could clearly feel intense provocation from Xian Liner. This human females soul power undtions were inferior to his own, but she possessed a unique quality that attracted his attention.
