Chapter 404
The next day, the Acting Acting Dean issued an order: every student must be led by a teacher at the high-stage Spirit Realm before entering the Monster Forest. If any problems were discovered, they were to retreat immediately and never Lin Lin Linger.
The Acting Acting Dean's original intention in issuing this order was to remain vigilant against the Monster Race. Now, the Monster Race was truly becoming increasingly unpredictable. The incident from a few days ago, where three Wuqu Academy students were killed, had yet to be resolved, and they had been growing more arrogant lately.
405: Zi Ying's Identity
After a night of rest, Chen Ang's mental state had fully recovered. He prepared to apply to the Acting Acting Dean to go for another round around the outskirts of the Monster Forest.
Through this recent event, it was clear that the Monster Race possessed abundant and sufficient resources. Human resources had become very limited due to excessive exploitation, but the Monster Race was different; they protected various precious fruits to a high degree.
Upon hearing this request, the Acting Acting Dean agreed and dispatched a powerhouse at the Dominator Realm to guard him in secret. He had originally intended to send a high-stage Spirit Realm teacher, but after a second thought, he realized this was a special period and he did not want to interfere too much with Chen Ang's actions, so he gave his consent.
The two arrived in the Monster Forest and began to search aimlessly. Wan Wan Wan Shitong could not help but speak up: "Boss, we need to have a target direction. Just searching blindly like this isn't a solution."
Chen Ang smiled and said: "The reason we came to the Monster Forest this time is mainly to observe the outskirts a bit. Just treat it as sightseeing; if there are any treasures, we'll take them."
"Wuqu Academy's protection for us is excellent. With this Dominator Realm teacher guarding us, there won't be any problems. It is very rare for a Monster King level creature to appear on the outskirts of the Monster Forest."
The two carefully observed the vicinity and indeed harvested some treasures. While not as precious as the Cold-Heart Butterfly Flower, they could still be considered very good.
Just then, they saw a little girl with purple hair fighting a monster. The little girl was severely injured, and seeing that the uniform she wore belonged to the Sacred Beast Academy, they hesitated.
Wan Wan Wan Shitong spoke up: "Boss, do you think we should save her or not? Judging by this, she should be a disciple of the Sacred Beast Academy. Although the two academies have always had a competitive relationship, they have never crossed the bottom line. We must make a choice this time."
Chen Ang smiled and said: "Save her, we must save her. How could we not? If we don't save her, do you think the teachers above won't report this to the Acting Acting Dean? We are at a critical period; we absolutely cannot drop the ball."
Wan Wan Wan Shitong went up and easily dealt with the monster. The girl dragged her exhausted, injured body and said to the two: "Thank you both for your help. If it weren't for you, I might have really died here."
"It's nothing, it's nothing. We are students of Wuqu Academy. Seeing that there was a situation here, we came over to help immediately. How are you? Are you alright?"
"Nothing major. Do you have any healing pills? My body has suffered severe injuries, and I have run out of pills, which is indeed a bit troublesome."
Wan Wan Wan Shitong immediately took out two special healing pills and gave them to the girl. After she consumed them, all the wounds on her body recovered.
She smiled and said: "Many thanks for your help. My name is Zi Ying. I will definitely reward you both after I return."
Chen Ang asked: "Why did you come to the Monster Forest alone? Judging by your cultivation, you are only at the eighth stage. It is very difficult to be on the outskirts without a teacher's protection."
"Sigh, there's no other way. I was sulking with my Master recently and just ran out. I wanted to break through to the ninth stage in the Monster Forest to give my Master a big surprise."
"Seeing that you are so young, there is no need to be in such a hurry to break through. Haste makes waste."
"To tell you the truth, there is no other way. The main purpose of coming to the Monster Forest this time is to try my luck and see if there is anything that can enhance my bloodline. I possess the power of the Purple Phoenix bloodline in my body, but unfortunately, it is very thin and has not awakened yet."
Wan Wan Wan Shitong, standing to the side, could not help but speak up: "Purple Phoenix? The legendary Purple Phoenix bloodline. Could it be that you are the personal disciple of the Sacred Beast Academy's Acting Acting Dean?"
"How did you know my identity?"
"The Purple Phoenix bloodline, who doesn't know about it?"
Wan Wan Wan Shitong continued to explain: "Boss, this is an absolute genius of the Sacred Beast Academy. Her bloodline power has not yet awakened; once it awakens, her strength will be enough to go head-to-head with Xue."
"The Phoenix is already a very powerful existence among ancient divine beasts, and the Purple Phoenix is a mutated level among Phoenixes. It is equivalent to the king level of Phoenixes. I really didn't expect the Sacred Beast Academy to let you come out alone this time."
"But fortunately, we ran into you this time and saved your life. If you had really died in the Monster Forest, I believe your Master would have razed the entire Monster Forest to the ground."
"Sigh, there is no way. My strength is very poor. Can you help me find some fruits that can enhance bloodline strength?"
"I need fruits to enhance my bloodline now. As the bloodline in my body continuously awakens, my own strength will increase. My Master has also been searching bitterly for years. I don't want my Master to have such a hard time. I hope you can help me. I beg you."
Wan Wan Wan Shitong could not help but frown and said: "This? Let's agree to try a little first. After all, we know that fruits that can enhance the Phoenix bloodline are truly few and far between."
"Such fruits are usually protected by powerful monsters. If we want to obtain them, we must ensure our safety. If it really doesn't work, we must ask the teacher to take action."
Chen Ang said sternly: "No, we cannot let the teacher take action. If the teacher takes action, it will definitely attract the attention of other Monster Kings in the Monster Forest. Unless it is a last resort, we absolutely cannot do it."
The three walked and discussed helplessly. Suddenly, looking at the red fruit in front of them, Wan Wan Wan Shitong jumped up and shouted: "Boss, it's the Phoenix Divine Fruit! It can just happen to awaken the Purple Phoenix bloodline in Zi Ying's body. Even if it can only awaken a small part, it should be enough for Zi Ying now. What do you think?"
"There is a Monster King level Tyrant Star Tiger guarding it nearby. This is very troublesome. We must deal with the Tyrant Star Tiger first to obtain the Phoenix Divine Fruit."
Chen Ang said sternly: "Wan Wan Wan Shitong, if we join forces, can we kill this Monster King?"
"Boss, no problem. A Tyrant Star Tiger at the early stage of the Monster King level can be easily solved by the two of us. If we can't even solve a Monster King at the early stage, where would I put my old face?"
The two went up and began to fight the Tyrant Star Tiger. They had to regain their face for the grievances they suffered in the Monster Forest last time. Before long, they discovered the problem.
Wan Wan Wan Shitong said anxiously: "Boss, this Tyrant Star Tiger is not simple. It should have mutated due to the influence of the Phoenix Divine Fruit, and its strength is much stronger than an ordinary Tyrant Star Tiger."
"We must find a way to kill it in one blow. The Tyrant Star Tiger's weakness is its neck. I will create an opportunity, and you find a way to end its life with one shot. We must not be careless."
After such a long time of fighting and grinding, the two became handy in their cooperation, without any dragging or hesitation, and trusted each other.
Wan Wan Wan Shitong began to continuously attack the Tyrant Star Tiger to create an opportunity for Chen Ang. Seeing that the timing was ripe, Chen Ang fired a shot, directly piercing the Tyrant Star Tiger's throat and ending its life.
406: The Autistic Monster God
The teacher watching from above could not help but nod. He highly approved of this behavior. Others did not know how powerful this Tyrant Star Tiger was, but he knew it very well.
Looking at its strength, it was at the early stage of the Monster King, but when it really fought, it could reach the middle stage of the Monster King. The two cooperated without any hesitation, and until they killed it in one blow, they had already surpassed most of the students of Wuqu Academy.
Handing the Phoenix Divine Fruit to Zi Ying, Zi Ying said very happily: "Thank you both this time. With this Phoenix Divine Fruit, I should be able to awaken a part of the bloodline in my body. Help me guard here so I can absorb it."
Chen Ang shook his head and said: "No, we have to find a cave. The Phoenix Divine Fruit causes too much of a stir and will attract the attention of other monsters. If a powerful monster is attracted, given our current strength, it is completely impossible to escape."
For the sake of safety, the three found a relatively remote and quiet place and took out the Phoenix Divine Fruit to absorb it. At first, they didn't feel anything, but slowly, they felt a powerful aura.
A phantom of a Purple Phoenix appeared behind Zi Ying. Lin Ye and Wan Wan Wan Shitong had experienced great storms, but in front of the Purple Phoenix, they could not help but sweat profusely and almost knelt down.
Wan Wan Wan Shitong said: "Boss, the Purple Phoenix is worthy of being the legendary King Divine Beast. It is terrifying. If we weren't relatively strong, we would have really surrendered just now."
"You said that it hasn't fully awakened yet, and it's already so powerful. How terrifying will it be after it fully awakens?"
"The Acting Acting Dean of the Sacred Beast Academy said that after it fully awakens in the future, it will have the strength to compete with Xue. How powerful is Xue now?"
"Don't worry, no matter when, I will not give up easily. This time is just an opportunity. Thank you for your guidance."
With Wan Wan Wan Shitong's encouragement, the two calmed down and guarded Zi Ying. Before long, Zi Ying opened her eyes, and her cultivation successfully broke through to the peak of the ninth stage. Breaking through from the eighth stage to the peak of the ninth stage just by absorbing a Phoenix Divine Fruit was indeed very terrifying.
"Thank you both for your help this time. I believe I am now qualified to compete for the Hidden Dragon List. According to my Master's plan, he was going to secretly look for fruits for me to awaken my bloodline."
"I also don't want to trouble him too much. Finding it this time counts as owing you a favor. If you have any requests in the future, you can come to the Sacred Beast Academy, and I will definitely help you."
Suddenly, the teacher in the air discovered a moving monster army and reminded them: "The three of you, follow me quickly. If you don't leave, it will be troublesome. The aura of Zi Ying's breakthrough just now attracted the attention of the surrounding monsters."
"I originally thought that using a formation to seal the aura in the cave would be fine, but the Monster Race has smelled the scent. If you are still entangled, you really won't be able to leave."
Upon hearing this, the few made a decision and began to leave the Monster Forest quickly. Just as they were about to leave the Monster Forest, they were suddenly blocked by a powerful Monster Emperor.
The teacher stood up and said: "Why are you blocking our way? This Monster Forest is not a place where only your Monster Race can come and go as you please."
That Monster Emperor said: "It's fine for you to leave, but this little girl must stay. She possesses the Phoenix bloodline in her body, which is the Phoenix essence blood that our Monster Race has been bitterly pursuing. We have a chance to break through to a higher realm."
"Do you know whose disciple she is? She is the personal disciple of the Acting Acting Dean of the Sacred Beast Academy. If you kill her, do you really think you can survive?"
"I don't care. We'll talk about future things later. Now, obediently leave the little girl behind. Everything else can be discussed."
"Hmph, then let me see if you have that strength."
The two wrestled together, and the remaining pile of Monster Kings began to attack the few. This made Zi Ying very angry. She originally wanted to communicate with you as an ordinary person, but you forced me.
After speaking, she crushed the jade pendant in her hand, and a spatial formation appeared. The Acting Acting Dean of the Sacred Beast Academy appeared in front of the few. Zi Ying quickly went over and acted like a spoiled child: "Master, that Monster Emperor bullied me and wanted to obtain my bloodline, drain my blood, and suck my flesh to strengthen his body. Look, your precious disciple has suffered such a great grievance. Don't you have to avenge me!"
The Acting Acting Dean of the Sacred Beast Academy said angrily: "You little Monster Emperor, how dare you have such great ability? You even dare to kill my disciple. You are too overestimating yourself."
Zi Ying added fuel to the fire on the side: "By the way, Master, this Monster Emperor said that no matter who you are, he can eat whoever he wants to eat and doesn't take you seriously at all."
"Sigh. If I don't give you monsters a lesson, you really don't know your surname or what you are called."
Just as the Acting Acting Dean of the Sacred Beast Academy was about to kill that Monster Emperor, the Monster God felt the pressure, rushed over, and said: "Senior, can you spare this Monster Emperor's life?"
"You are the Monster God in this Monster Forest. I heard that you were just beaten up by the Acting Acting Dean of Wuqu Academy. Could it be that you want me to beat you up again?"
The Monster God originally prepared to retreat and cultivate, and only come out when he had the strength to fight against the Acting Acting Dean of Wuqu Academy. But he didn't expect that the Acting Acting Dean of Wuqu Academy bullied him, and that was fine.
The unknown Sacred Beast Academy also dared, and he didn't know where the Acting Acting Dean came from, but he also dared to bully the Monster God. He really thought he was a soft persimmon and didn't give him a lesson, which wouldn't work.
After speaking, he began to attack him. But when he really fought, he found the gap. This person's strength was the same as the Acting Acting Dean of Wuqu Academy, and it was very terrifying.
The Monster God quickly said: "Senior, this matter is the Monster Race's fault. I am willing to compensate for the loss. I hope you can spare my life. From now on, I will never appear in front of you again."
"Get lost. Why are you, a Monster God, so timid? If you don't mind, you can consider eating some dragon meat tonight. A purebred little dragon, the taste should be very good, right?"
The Monster God didn't say anything, didn't see anything, and slipped away in a dejected manner. He was angry in his heart, being trampled by powerhouses one after another, and he was also very helpless.
You know, no matter how weak the strength is in the outside world, he is at least at the Monster God realm. He must cultivate well and never come out until he reaches a higher realm.
On the other side, the trapped Monster Emperor saw that his backer, the Monster God, had left, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, spare my life. I had eyes but didn't recognize Mount Tai. I hope you can let me go."
The Acting Acting Dean of the Sacred Beast Academy looked at Zi Ying and said: "His life and death are in your hands. You decide."
Zi Ying said: "Monsters like this are useless if kept. Master, kill him. I haven't seen what a Monster Emperor level monster core looks like. It just happens to be an eye-opener this time."
407: The Acting Acting Dean's Thoughts
This matter was perfectly resolved, and the Acting Acting Dean of the Sacred Beast Academy was very happy about it. You know, Zi Ying was his precious disciple. Anyone else could have an accident, but she couldn't.
Zi Ying took the monster core and put it into Chen Ang's hand, and exhorted: "This monster core is useless in my hand, so just take it as a reward for saving me."
"If it weren't for the help of you and Wan Wan Wan Shitong, I wouldn't have survived, and the Phoenix Divine Fruit was also obtained thanks to you two."
The Acting Acting Dean of the Sacred Beast Academy asked suspiciously: "Zi Ying, have you awakened the Purple Phoenix bloodline now?"
"That's right, Master. I have awakened a part of it. According to the current situation, it should be enough." ===== CHAPTER 405 =====
