Chapter 420

The defense of the One-Eyed beast was extremely astonishing; several probing attacks failed to leave any wounds on its surface. Its physical constitution was particularly absurd.

Unable to help but exclaim in admiration, "As expected of a Great Strength Demon Ape, its defense is truly terrifying. I just wonder how its actual combat power is."

He began to use the Cold Dragon Spear Art to attack it. Every attack was easily neutralized by the Great Strength Demon Ape, making him feel increasingly incredulous. One had to know that there were certain limitations between demonic beasts and humans.

Logically, a mid-tier Demon King beast shouldn't be that agile. The One-Eyed one was a complete anomaly; despite being at the mid-tier Demon King cultivation level, its combat style far exceeded that of an average high-tier Spirit Realm expert.

Observing closely, he discovered that the Great Strength Demon Ape's right eye had clearly been injured by a human sharp weapon, and there were wounds of varying degrees on its body. It must have a particular aversion to the human race; no wonder it possessed such immense killing intent.

"Looks like a warmonger. One-Eyed, I really want to see just how strong you can be. This is a good opportunity; don't let me down."

The massive commotion drew the attention of nearby Great Strength Demon Apes. Just as someone was about to make a move, the One-Eyed one let out a loud shout, and all the Great Strength Demon Apes retreated.

This left Chen Ang somewhat at a loss. Wan Wan Shitong spoke up from the side, "Boss, One-Eyed should be the ruler of the outer perimeter of the fruit forest. Looking at the scars on its body, this beast is definitely not simple. Why don't we both attack together? It would be slightly safer."

"Rest assured. If I can't even handle a Great Strength Demon Ape, where would my face be? This beast has formidable strength; it's perfect for practicing."

After saying this, he picked up the Array-Breaking Qilin Spear and began to continuously attack the Great Strength Demon Ape. He believed that no matter how strong One-Eyed was, it couldn't be more formidable than the human heaven-gifted geniuses; there must be weaknesses.

After half a day of sparring, Chen Ang had initially mastered the Cold Dragon Spear Art. He couldn't unleash one hundred percent of its power yet, but it was close enough. No wonder Senior Li Lao said that combat was the best method; that was indeed what he meant.

With combat situations, it could better help improve one's own strength. The mission was complete, and staying behind was of no use, so he prepared to bid farewell and leave. It was evident that this One-Eyed beast wasn't bad; it just liked fighting with others.

Looking at the scarred One-Eyed beast, Chen Ang took out a few pills and fed them into its mouth, then instructed, "I've initially mastered the spear art and am preparing to leave. Thank you for your help today. I've practiced the Cold Dragon Spear Art to completion; we shall meet again when there is time."

One-Eyed sensed Chen Ang's reluctance to part, let out two loud howls, and then led the remaining Great Strength Demon Apes away from this place. It was clear that Chen Ang particularly recognized the strength of this demonic beast.

After the two left the outer perimeter of the fruit forest, the teacher who had been watching from afar walked over and said, "You two are truly reckless. One-Eyed is the biological son of a peak Demon Emperor; its bloodline purity is extremely high. Fortunately, it didn't fly into a rage, otherwise, you would have truly been dead."

Wan Wan Shitong hurriedly said, "So close, so close. Fortunately, we didn't provoke the Demon Emperor, otherwise, we would have truly died without a burial place."

"Rest assured, it definitely wouldn't have killed me. I believe that the next time we meet, it will give me a special surprise. Fighting with One-Eyed was particularly fulfilling. Thank you, teacher, for your help this time."

"No need to thank me. I was sent by Teacher Xing Tian. I was also very curious about how formidable his disciple's strength was. Seeing it today, he indeed has some substance."

"Your master is bold yet meticulous, always considering the consequences before doing anything, yet you are different from him. Such bad habits must be changed, otherwise, there will be big problems in the future."

441: Teacher Xing Tian's Decision

Teacher Xing Tian was very satisfied with the performance of the two. Just then, a figure appeared before him, and he immediately said, "Old Dean, why have you returned? Could it be that things over at the Sin Prison have stabilized?"

The Old Dean said sternly, "No. We are all family, no need to be polite with me. Now that the Martial Song Academy and the Sacred Beast Academy have merged, we have basically become one big family. Today, I just wanted to ask, how has Chen Ang been performing recently?"

Teacher Xing Tian recounted the changes in Wan Wan Shitong and Chen Ang during this period. The Old Dean nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad. These two brats still know when to do what. Find a way to let them stabilize completely; don't think about choosing to break through for now."

"Don't be short-sighted. During this period, the Spirit Realm is enough for cultivation. If you go to a higher level, there is a possibility of an unstable foundation. In the next three months, I don't want to see these two brats break through. Do you hear me?"

"If Chen Ang breaks through, you know my methods. Chen Ang is someone I highly value; just don't drop the ball."

Teacher Xing Tian hurriedly said, "Old Dean, I have been paying attention to Chen Ang's affairs. Besides Lin Ye's matter, are there any other instructions today? When will Lord Su Su Xian be able to return from the Sin Prison?"

"I came today just to tell you about this matter. For the time being, the Martial Song Academy must be handed over to you for safekeeping. Recently, the situation in the Sin Prison has become increasingly serious. This is a Spirit Mark Pill; after taking this pill, your strength can reach the peak of the Emperor Realm."

"Of course, from then on, your foundation will definitely be affected, and you will be at the peak of the Emperor Realm for the rest of your life. How you choose depends on your own decision."

"Old Dean, rest assured, I certainly understand. My talent is only so-so in this life; being able to reach the Emperor Realm is somewhat lucky. If I can break through to the peak of the King Realm, it counts as a fortunate event."

"Everything follows your own decision. If you are unwilling, I will not force you. It's a pity that the problem in the Sin Prison is relatively serious, and now the Martial Song Academy needs a true powerhouse to guard it."

"On the surface, the various major families have some Sovereign Realm powerhouses, but no Emperor Realm ones have appeared. To be on the safe side, there must be a guarantee, provided the trump cards are not exposed."

"Teacher Xing Tian, in the eyes of outsiders, you are a teacher at the peak of the Sovereign Realm, but your true strength has reached the Emperor Realm. However, this bit of strength is completely insufficient. I will give you some life-saving techniques, supplemented by pills; your strength will definitely belong to the ceiling level among the peak Emperor Realm. This period should be enough to ensure the safety of the Martial Song Academy."

Teacher Xing Tian thought for a moment and said sternly, "It is my honor to contribute to the Martial Song Academy and the entire Perished World. Rest assured, I will definitely guard the Martial Song Academy well."

"Good, that is the sentence I was waiting for. The situation in the Sin Prison is unstable. I came simply to see how these two children are doing. They belong to the entire Martial Song Academy; I hope you will treat them seriously and don't let anything happen."

"Old Dean, rest assured, I will definitely do my best. Chen Ang is my disciple; it is only natural for a master to protect his disciple. Whoever does anything to harm the Martial Song Academy, kill without mercy!"

After the Dean left, Teacher Xing Tian looked at the pill in his hand and couldn't help but say, "It seems to be fate; even if I want to hide, I can't."

He called Chen Ang and Wan Wan Shitong over and instructed, "In the next month, act within the Martial Song Academy. You can spar with these seniors. Remember, you must not leave the academy; you are to go into seclusion for a period of time."

"During this period, I will leave a portion of my perception to try and protect you two. If you really go too far away, problems will arise. You brats, be careful. Wait until I come out of seclusion before talking. You must pay attention to safety."

Chen Ang said sternly, "Master, is this matter very important? Why must you go into seclusion so quickly? It's completely different from what I imagined. Could it be that something big has happened?"

Teacher Xing Tian instructed, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't think too much about things you shouldn't know. There are other matters; you go and cultivate first."

Arriving at the Scripture Library to see Li Lao, he said, "Li Lao, there might be some matters in the near future. I would like to ask you to pay attention to Chen Ang's situation. As long as there is no life-threatening danger, that will be fine."

"You guessed right. You must think this matter through. The Old Dean told me; once you decide, there is no turning back in this life; you will forever be at the peak of the Emperor Realm."

Teacher Xing Tian laughed, "I haven't achieved much in this life. Having such an excellent disciple, without the help of this pill, whether I could reach the peak of the Emperor Realm in this life is another matter. This time, it is an opportunity given by the Dean; naturally, I must learn to cherish it."

Li Lao said sternly, "Rest assured, go quickly and return quickly. With me here, no one in the entire Martial Song Academy dares to make a move. As long as Chen Ang doesn't leave the Martial Song Academy too far, I can save him."

"My old bones are very sturdy. Even if the evil cultivators invade in large numbers, I am not afraid at all. I will kill as many as come."

With Li Lao in the Martial Song Academy, there was an extra huge guarantee. After returning, he began to cultivate. Time waits for no one; he had to act quickly.

Lin Ye found Wan Wan Shitong and said, "I always feel that Master's words have hidden meanings. He wants to say something but can't. Could it be that the situation in the Sin Prison is getting more and more serious? Lord Su Su Xian has been in the Sin Prison for so long without returning; it seems very troublesome."

Wan Wan Shitong laughed, "It's fine, Boss. What problems could there be? The Old Dean and Lord Su Su Xian have formidable strength; even the Sovereigns of the Demon World can't do anything to them, let alone others. It's fine."

Just as the two were walking and talking, a youth wearing beast skin blocked their path and said sternly, "You trampled on precious spirit flowers, abominable!"

Chen Ang looked down and saw that it was indeed a precious spirit flower. He hurriedly said, "I will find a way to find another one within the Martial Song Academy. How about that? This incident happened because we were chatting and didn't see it. I apologize to you. Are you satisfied with this solution?"

That youth said sternly, "I planted these spirit flowers in the grass after working hard for so long, watering them day and night. They were about to mature, yet they were destroyed by someone like this. I am very unhappy. Let's have a fight."

"If you can win, I can let you go. But if you lose, for the next month, you will do whatever I say. Do you hear me? Let's speak with strength."

Chen Ang couldn't help but frown, "Isn't this a bit too bullying? We were in the wrong in this matter, and we have already apologized. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"I don't care. My name is Wang Mo, a high-tier Spirit Realm powerhouse. Today, I would like to learn how strong you two are. When we truly fight, don't be beaten until you're running for your lives. I must avenge the spirit flowers; I feel particularly uncomfortable."

442: Li Lao's Mediation

Wan Wan Shitong said sternly, "If I guessed correctly, this Wang Mo should have returned from the Sin Prison. With the constant invasion of the Demon Race, those Spirit Realm students who were originally training in the Sin Prison have all returned to the Martial Song Academy."

"Now, the number of Spirit Realm powerhouses in the Martial Song Academy is countless. This Wang Mo should be one of those who returned from the Sin Prison to the academy. We've gotten into trouble this time."

Chen Ang laughed and said, "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover. I really don't believe how strong this Wang Mo can be. If you don't challenge him, you'll never know where the limit is, right?"

Wang Mo said, "You know that I raised those spirit flowers in the Sin Prison with great difficulty. After returning to the Martial Song Academy, the spirit flowers have been planted in the grass. To let you trample them, I am really very angry. Let's spar; my lingering anger has not yet subsided."

"Rest assured, I will suppress my cultivation to the low-tier Spirit Realm. With the same strength, there shouldn't be any problems in starting a fight. A fair duel, don't let me look down on you."

Chen Ang laughed, "No problem. I also want to try how strong the senior's strength is, whether it's as formidable as imagined. Don't be a soft-legged shrimp; that would be quite embarrassing."

They began an intense confrontation. Anyone with eyes could see that the gap between the two was very large. From the perspective of momentum, Wang Mo was slightly better.

Wan Wan Shitong said, "Boss, you must not hesitate. End the battle quickly. This Wang Mo is not simple; he has a strong aversion to you. He is a powerhouse of strength; pay attention to dodging attacks."

Li Lao, who was in the distance, saw the situation of the two and couldn't help but say, "I really didn't expect that this little guy Wang Mo would start doing evil as soon as he returned to the Martial Song Academy. This Chen Ang is also something; why provoke Wang Mo? That guy's strength is very terrifying."

Wang Mo's strength was obvious to all. At that time, he had also evaluated Wang Mo's strength, and he was highly valued by the Old Dean. Having fought in the Sin Prison for so long, he must have a huge advantage.

Very formidable. It could be said that when they truly started to fight, Chen Ang didn't have much of a chance of winning. There was a good show to watch now. Li Lao wanted to see how big a surprise Chen Ang could bring.

The Cold Dragon Spear Art was very proficient, but when it came to truly fighting, there wasn't much chance of winning. The only possibility was to find a flaw and seize the opportunity.

He had been struggling with defense. Victory must belong to Wang Mo. Chen Ang had not been one to admit defeat all these years. He didn't believe that there would really be someone without weaknesses. Discovering the weakness was the beginning of Wang Mo's failure.

Wang Mo was wearing a pair of yellow boxing gloves. Chen Ang could see that the boxing gloves were extraordinary; these boxing gloves should be Wang Mo's weapon, but he couldn't say exactly what power they had.

Chen Ang's strength was also very terrifying. Every time he wanted to attack Wang Mo, he was neutralized by this pair of boxing gloves. This invisible force was particularly terrifying. Helpless, he chose to win by skill.

After fighting for a period of time, he discovered that Wang Mo's strength was formidable, his power was terrifying, and his physical constitution was excellent, but his flexibility was not high. This was a breakthrough direction, and he began to try it.

He began to continuously increase his speed, wanting to seek a weakness to achieve a fatal blow. Just then, he suddenly felt that Wang Mo's movement speed slowed down. Chen Ang, who was just about to go up and attack, saw Wang Mo's mysterious smile and suddenly felt terrified.

Not knowing the situation yet, Chen Ang said, "Hehe, I've caught you, haven't I? Senior shouldn't mind, right?"

Wang Mo smiled mysteriously, "You brat, ginger is still old and spicy. I don't believe you can dodge it."

Using the Cold Dragon Spear Art to bear a full-force blow, he still found it hard to accept, directly spitting out blood and reaching the edge of the ring.

Wang Mo said sternly, "I'll give you two choices. Admit your mistake to me obediently, and this matter will be treated as if it never happened. If you continue like this, I don't mind beating you down again."

Chen Ang laughed, "Senior, our battle hasn't ended yet. Isn't it a bit too much to look down on others?"

After saying this, he turned around and reached Wang Mo's back, piercing his right shoulder with a spear. Feeling a huge insult, he hurriedly said, "I originally wanted to give you a chance to live. It seems you are indeed somewhat ungrateful. It's time to clean up the sect."

The color of the boxing gloves turned deep red. Wang Mo entered a state of frenzy. Chen Ang had a feeling that in this state of full firepower, fighting Wang Mo would not yield any advantage.

Li Lao shouted, "That's enough, stop messing around. Fighting and bickering, what kind of decorum is this? Come with me."

He brought Wang Mo and Chen Ang into a secret room and instructed, "I have also understood the cause and effect of this matter. What do you have to say?"

Seeing Li Lao's stern appearance, he hurriedly said, "Hmph, this time it's cheap for this brat. With Li Lao's protection, I'm embarrassed to say anything more."

"Pay attention in the future. You are all students of the Martial Song Academy; don't make it look too ugly. And you, Chen Ang, gave me a surprise, thinking of using a fake injury to attack from the back. This time it counts as a draw. Both of you, calm down."

"I will find a way to solve the spirit flower matter. You are all family, all students of the Martial Song Academy. Could it be that you still want to fight again? Behave obediently."

Seeing Wang Mo calm down and leave, Li Lao said, "How is it? What is your impression of Wang Mo?"

"His strength is extremely formidable, his temper is somewhat irritable, but he doesn't seem like a petty person. I believe that looking at the situation of our Martial Song Academy, if he were that kind of petty person, they shouldn't have accepted him."

Li Lao laughed, "You brat are quite sensible. This time I will tell you the truth. The spirit flower you trampled was actually left behind by Wang Mo's mother before she died."

"Whether in the Martial Song Academy or in the Sin Prison, he valued that spirit flower extremely highly. Now that you have destroyed that spirit flower, it is equivalent to removing the thoughts in his heart. Can he not find trouble with you?"
