Is Eastsea Full of Monsters? Why Is No One Afraid! [Please Keep Reading]

Xu Xiaoyu did not say that without reason. Seeing the people arriving behind him gave him tremendous confidence.

The newcomers were none other than students from every grade of Eastsea Academy.

As Eastsea City's top Soul Master Academy, many descendants of Eastsea City's upper ranks studied and cultivated there. The Spirit Ascension Platform's Riot Period only came twice a year. These students were either rich or noble, and having happened to meet within the Spirit Ascension Platform, they had at least a basic level of trust between classmates. They decided to form a team to improve their chances of successful spirit ascension.

"Senior Xu Xiaoyu, you're here too?" A sturdy-looking youth of sixteen or seventeen recognized him and stepped forward to greet him.

This youth's father was a high-ranking official in Eastsea. It never hurt to build a good relationship.

"You came at just the right time! Someone dared to bully people from Eastsea Academy!" Xu Xiaoyu turned to the crowd behind him. "Do they really think Eastsea has no one?"

"Who dares bully people from Eastsea Academy? They've got some nerve!"

"Exactly! Do they really think Eastsea Academy is a soft persimmon?"

"Brothers! We have to get our pride back!"

The crowd was indignant, and every gaze turned toward the bedraggled Mu Xi. They had roughly guessed what had happened. It had to be some outsider from beyond Eastsea who did not know Young Lady Mu Xi's identity and had attacked her directly.

Every one of them was shrewd. Her father was an Eight-Star Saint Craftsman, and helping her now would undoubtedly be a timely favor. For themselves and their families' interests, they had to act. Even if they failed, they still needed to leave a good impression on Mu Xi.

"Senior Xu Xiaoyu, how many are there?"

"Two!"

"Hahaha! Just two people, and they dare act so arrogantly!"

"Even if those two are at the peak of Three Rings—level thirty-nine—if we rush them together, they might not be our match!"

The tall youth who had taken the lead earlier suddenly volunteered. "Senior Xu Xiaoyu, I'm a Defense-type Soul Master. I'll go first. I'll stand in front and hold them off!"

The young man silently nodded. There were around twenty of them, and the weakest among them were all two-ringed Soul Grandmasters. There were only two opponents, one of whom could summon a pack of beasts.

Close combat had to be his greatest weakness. Soul Masters of that type generally did not possess very strong physical strength.

"Oh, oh, oh... there's actually a whole group of people!" A rather punchable voice came from the darkness of the woods.

Xu Xiaoyu and the others all looked toward the depths of the forest.

A man and a woman slowly emerged from the woods. Sunlight illuminated the shadows on their faces, revealing their delicate features.

"So many people!"

"I told you we should've been more careful, didn't I? They were already here waiting to ambush us!"

"..." Gu Yue was speechless for a moment. How had this guy managed to twist the truth like that? Wasn't he the one who had chased after them?

"Hehehehe, so what if more people have come?"

"But it's time to clear the field!"

Li Jinsheng let out a sinister laugh, and a chill emanated from his otherwise righteous-looking face.

Gu Yue sighed helplessly. Looking at the opposing group, they were at least human. As for the one on her side—if he could not win, he would sell out his teammate in a heartbeat!

"You dare bully Eastsea Academy? Do you really think Eastsea has no one? Take this!"

The tall youth took the lead, hoping to quickly deal with Li Jinsheng before he could summon his beast pack.

He activated Martial Soul Possession, and his body instantly swelled. A layer of dark-yellow keratin appeared over his skin, gleaming with metallic luster and making him look almost inhuman. At the same time, his nose extended and lengthened, his upper lip curled back, and two long tusks grew out.

Diamond Mammoth! A super Martial Soul with extremely high defense! Among Martial Souls of the same rank, almost no Soul Master could break through its defenses!

First Soul Skill: Bronze Wall Iron Barrier. Second Soul Skill: Mammoth Strength. Third Soul Skill: Ice Prism Elephant Armor.

Li Jinsheng frowned slightly at the sight. Such formidable defense—he wondered whether his current strength could break through it.

A smile appeared at the corner of his lips. Under everyone's puzzled gazes, he threw a punch straight at him!

Bang!

A loud boom rang out. Savage cracks actually appeared across the Ice Prism Elephant Armor, and the tall youth at the front was sent flying in an instant.

"Brothers, run! I can't hold him off! That punch just now—I think I saw my great-grandmother!"

Li Jinsheng did not stop. His expression turned cold again, and he looked upon everything around him with indifference.

He stomped his foot, and the Demon Wolves that had long been waiting nearby surrounded them from every direction, blocking the group's escape routes.

Li Jinsheng shook out his hand. It was a little numb. The opponent's defensive power truly was astonishing, but fortunately, the stats he had worked so hard to train were still formidable.

He looked at the crowd opposite him with disdain. "Come at me together!"

Though Mu Xi was still terrified within the crowd, the people around her gave her courage. A Radiant Sun rose above her head, and she unleashed a Fireball Barrage.

The wolf pack scattered in all directions, dodging the bombardment of fireballs. On the other side, Xu Xiaoyu raised his hand and lifted his Ice Staff. An Ice Wheel spun through the air, intending to restrain Li Jinsheng himself.

Gu Yue was helpless. Did these people really not understand the gap in strength?! If they were going to pick a fight, couldn't they at least choose a suitable opponent? She slowly stepped out from behind the young man, flicked her fingertips, and Wind Blades sliced through the Ice Wheel. Borrowing the wind's momentum, the flames rolled back toward them.

Ice and fire collided in midair, bursting into thick clouds of white mist that enveloped the crowd. Before the mist had even dispersed, the Demon Wolf pack leaped directly into their midst.

Screams! Bones cracking! Clothes tearing! The sounds instantly blended into one continuous chorus!

But in the next moment, a flash of emerald-green light appeared, and all the cries of pain vanished without a trace. One by one, they seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, unable to feel any pain.

As the white mist dispersed, the Eastsea Academy students were all in a miserable state. Even though they had been bitten so badly by the wolf pack that they were covered in blood and torn flesh, they seemed entirely unaware of it.

Li Jinsheng stood quietly to one side, his gaze fixed on the wolf pack. Not a single one of them chose to flee. There was not a trace of fear in their eyes—only fearlessness!

He strode forward, deciding to personally kill this group of people who knew nothing of fear, muttering under his breath:

"Is everyone at Eastsea Academy a monster? Why is none of them afraid? Can't they feel pain?"

As those words reached Gu Yue's ears while she was locked in combat with Mu Xi and Xu Xiaoyu nearby, she began to question whether this thing had a brain. Why didn't it feel pain? Why wasn't it afraid? You really weren't going to mention any of that, were you?!

Meanwhile, four people in the forest had been drawn over by the clamor of battle.

"Wulin, it sounds like an intense Soul Master Battle has broken out ahead!"

"Let's go take a look. Maybe we can pick up some leftovers!"

Captain Tang Wulin made the decision and carefully headed toward the battlefield. The moment he parted the grass, he saw an incomparably bloody, nauseating scene.

Two people were fighting more than twenty opponents—and crushing them! How was that possible?

Those weren't twenty pigs! They were more than twenty people, each at least a Soul Grandmaster.

Aside from Senior Sister Mu Xi and a somewhat familiar-looking senior, everyone else had been taken out directly!

That male Soul Master had even stepped forward while holding the advantage and personally punched them out of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

"Wulin, what do we do?!" Xie Xie's eyes flashed as he clearly recognized the people on the field.

"Retreat! Run, now!"

Tang Wulin swallowed, a flash of panic and fear appearing in his eyes.

Just as they had walked out a short distance, a massive Demon Wolf sprang into the grass and blocked the four of them!

"Oh no! He found us! Our Final Exam is doomed!"
