STAYING ALIVE CAUTIOUSLY IN THE CELESTIAL REALM AND BECOMING THE STRONGEST

Chapter 822: 822

Hu Jiaojiao had just unleashed her Innate Divine Ability, awakened upon advancing to the eighth tier.

High-tier Fierce Beasts could awaken special talents, which were their means of opposing the powerful human fighters, and the Divine Ability Hu Jiaojiao awakened was particularly special and closely related to her original form.

This Divine Ability was known as “Bewitching Words.”

Bewitching Words, once cast, had the special effect of confusing and dazing sentient beings.

What was most terrifying was that it was an area-of-effect skill.

To resist the effects of “Bewitching Words,” one must possess a strong will and spiritual power.

The Green Wolves, serving as the vanguard of the beast horde, were merely fourth or fifth tier Monster Beasts and could not withstand the onslaught of this Divine Ability.

They were instantly bewildered and fainted, toppling to the ground, thereby becoming tripping hazards for other Fierce Beasts charging from behind.

After being trampled and collided into, many Green Wolves painfully regained consciousness and began to irrationally attack the surrounding Fierce Beasts.

Including their own kind!

The claws and teeth of the Green Wolves were extremely sharp—they glared with blood-red eyes as they furiously bit and struck.

In a moment, fur and flesh flew as cries of agony echoed all around!

Many Fierce Beasts, provoked by the wild attacks of the Green Wolves, unleashed their savage fiercest and recklessly began to retaliate.

And such a scene spread like a plague towards the back.

More and more Fierce Beasts fell into internecine slaughter.

Ding-a-ling～

Just then, a clear ringing of a bell suddenly sounded in the distance.

The Fierce Beasts embroiled in the fierce battle seemed to awaken from a dream, issuing mournful howls as they withdrew back into the Misty Area.

“Eh?”

Hu Jiaojiao deactivated her Bewitching Words Divine Ability, a look of surprise appearing in her eyes.

Firstly, deploying this Divine Ability was not easy, and the longer it lasted, the more power it consumed.

Secondly, the recent bell sound had greatly disrupted the effect of Bewitching Words.

“Magical Treasure.”

Wang Chen said calmly.

This sudden eruption of a beast tide was no natural disaster but someone stirring trouble!

In the Haotian Realm, Magical Treasures capable of manipulating Monster Beasts were plentiful; Wang Chen had heard of three or four types.

“It’s ‘The Bell of Ten Thousand Beasts.’”

Elder Yao’s voice arose in his mind, conveying a hint of sheepishness, “Although I didn’t bring this item from the Upper Realm, I had hidden it in a secret vault after obtaining it.”

“That vault must have been discovered by someone.”

Wang Chen wasn’t concerned, and merely asked curiously, “Elder, how powerful is this Magical Treasure?”

“It can manipulate Fierce Beasts below the eighth tier…”

Elder Yao responded, “The higher the Cultivation Level of the user, the more Fierce Beasts they can manipulate!”

If they were low-tier Fierce Beasts, driving tens of thousands at once was no problem, hence the name ‘The Bell of Ten Thousand Beasts.’

“I remember that there’s not much spirituality left in that item.”

Elder Yao added, “He won’t be able to use it many times.”

Wang Chen nodded—someone was clearly making a significant investment!

“I’m so tired.”

While Wang Chen was conversing with Elder Yao, Hu Jiaojiao yawned widely and threw her arms around him, plunging into his embrace.

She then reverted to her original form, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Wang Chen affectionately stroked her head, his gaze turning towards the now calm Misty Area ahead.

He knew well that the enemy would not let things rest; just now was probably only a probe, the real test was yet to come!

“Immortal Master!”

“Academy Head!”

Hundreds of academy disciples, along with a group of martial master guards, charged over.

Most of these apprentice disciples were teenagers, with a generally first-tier Cultivation Level of Skin Refinement, merely the lowest level of martial artists, yet each of them displayed a vigorous fighting spirit, unscared by the horde of beasts.

They had completely initiated the reinforcement voluntarily.

But what these hot-blooded youngsters saw were the bloody scenes and carcasses strewn before them.

“Cleaning up will be your task.”

Wang Chen said to an Innate Martial Artist who led the group, “Let these kids get a taste of blood. Keep them safe.”

“Understood!”

Among the self-maiming and trampled Fierce Beasts, nearly a thousand were unable to escape due to injuries, and they emitted fierce roars as the encircling academy disciples approached.

They tried to deter these youngsters.

And it worked to an extent.

But it couldn’t change their fate. Under the martial masters’ supervision, numerous academy disciples—with a mix of excitement and anxiety—surrounded and slew these Fierce Beasts one by one.

If it were a one-on-one fight, even the severely-injured Fierce Beasts would overpower them.

But with the right strategies and suitable weapons, these third- to fifth-tier Fierce Beasts were easy prey.

Subsequently, all the beast corpses were dragged back to White Deer Academy.

The beasts’ hides were peeled off, flesh carved out, tendons and bones removed, leaving behind their fangs and claws.

That evening, a grand bonfire banquet took place at the academy’s large training ground.

Surrounded by the roaring flames, the youths of White Deer Academy inhaled the tantalizing scent of roasted Beast Meat, their spirits soaring.

Wang Chen and the samurai sat together, smiling as they watched this group of buoyant youngsters.

He could feel wisps of Qi of Humanity converging towards him.

Both in quantity and quality, it far exceeded previous occasions!

Every academy disciple looking towards Wang Chen had eyes full of immense admiration and reverence.

In the eyes of these youngsters, Wang Chen was nothing short of a godlike figure!

“Awoo~”

Just as the banquet was nearing its end, a sudden mournful howl resonated from a distance, reaching everyone’s ears.

It was a spine-chilling sound!

Immediately after, beast roars echoed one after another, seemingly endless.

It was unclear how many Fierce Beasts were using the cover of night to encircle White Deer Academy.

Some of the disciples showed nervous expressions, but even more were eager to test themselves, rubbing their hands in anticipation.

A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and these were calves who had tasted blood!

So soon?

Wang Chen was somewhat surprised.

He thought the earliest the enemy would regroup and return would be a few days later, not this hastily.

But this didn’t complicate the overall situation.

“All of you stay here, and no one leaves without my command,”

Wang Chen commanded sternly, “Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from the academy!”

As soon as his words fell, he suddenly leapt up high, disappearing from everyone’s sight in an instant.

The crowd couldn’t help but look at one another.

But under Wang Chen’s imposing presence, no one dared to defy his order and run out.

Meanwhile, Wang Chen had already appeared atop an ancient tree outside the academy.

This tree, at least four to five hundred years old and requiring three people to wrap their arms around it, had developed a bit of sentience.

It was precisely for this reason that Wang Chen had deliberately preserved it during the academy’s construction and not cut it down.

Standing on the dense crown of the tree, his sharp gaze pierced through the darkness of the night, spotting the returning horde of beasts!
