Beast Tide Attacks!

A chill filled Tang Hao's eyes, and a terrifying aura erupted from him with a boom.

The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand carried the absolute pressure of a Titled Douluo as it slammed down viciously toward four different areas ahead.

"Roar!"

"Awooo!"

Deep in the forest, from four directions, four beastly roars filled with rage and terror rang out almost at the same time.

Those were the roars of ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts!

The next instant, the entire earth trembled violently.

Countless smaller Spirit Beasts, like headless flies, fled desperately from the depths of the forest toward the outskirts as if they had gone mad, their faces filled with utter fear.

Behind them, a world-destroying catastrophe was descending.

Tang Hao's figure vanished from where he stood.

His plan was simple: drive those four powerful ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts in the same direction and use them to crash into Shrek Academy's formation.

As long as he created enough chaos, he had countless ways to make that kid named Su Bai die "accidentally" beneath a Spirit Beast's claws.

"Mm?"

At the standoff, Flender was the first to sense that something was wrong.

From the ground beneath his feet came a faint but continuous tremor.

"What's going on? An earthquake?" Ma Hongjun looked around in confusion.

Zhao Wuji's expression instantly turned extremely grave. He tilted his head to listen, then lowered his voice. "It's not an earthquake!"

"It's a Beast Tide! A large number of Spirit Beasts are charging this way!"

The moment he finished speaking, the trembling suddenly intensified.

In the distant sky, great flocks of forest birds burst into the air, scattering in panic with nowhere to go.

A terrifying aura mixed with brutality and fury swept over from the depths of the forest like a tsunami, blotting out the sky and covering the earth!

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang's expressions changed as well.

"Not good!"

"It's a Beast Tide mixed with thousand-year and ten-thousand-year beasts!"

Meng Shu's Dragon-headed Cane struck the ground heavily, and a dense wave of Soul Power spread outward, immediately stabilizing Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran.

He exchanged a glance with Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang, and the two moved almost at the same time.

They leaped up, each taking the top of a towering ancient tree, looking down from above toward the direction the Beast Tide was coming from.

Brilliant soul-ring light instantly lit up around them.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black!

A full eight soul rings circled around Dragon Duke Meng Shu, and the powerful pressure of a Soul Douluo immediately spread outward.

On the other side, Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang also manifested two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings, six in all.

Meng Yiran followed close behind. Though fear filled her heart, she still forced herself to stay calm and stood beside her grandmother as two yellow soul rings rose from beneath her feet.

"No need to be afraid," Meng Shu said in a steady voice.

He had seen it clearly. Though the onrushing Beast Tide had tremendous momentum, the vast majority were thousand-year-level Spirit Beasts. Ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts were mixed in among them, but there were not many.

With his and the old woman's Dragon Snake Combined Strike, they even had the strength to fight a true Titled Douluo. Getting through this Beast Tide would be easy.

Meng Shu instead relaxed, then looked with interest toward the scrambling members of Shrek Academy below.

He wanted to see how this academy full of "monsters" would deal with this crisis.

Meng Yiran's heart, however, tightened against her will.

Her gaze passed through the chaotic crowd and landed on Su Bai, the one who had left her so unsettled.

Why?

Why was she worried about him?

He was clearly the enemy who had stolen her Spirit Beast!

Meng Yiran could not understand what was wrong with her. She only knew that worry was spreading through her heart beyond her control.

"Quick! All of you, up the trees!"

Flender and Zhao Wuji's voices rang out almost at the same time, filled with anxiety.

"Dai Mubai, Tang San, Oscar, Ma Hongjun! Find thick trunks and climb up, now!"

The Beast Tide was too fast. Even a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse could not bring this many people away, so climbing trees was their only choice!

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun did not hesitate at all. They immediately used their soul skills and climbed nimbly toward the nearby great trees.

Oscar followed close behind.

Tang San moved the fastest. Blue Silver Grass wound outward, and with a borrowed swing of force, he landed steadily on a tree branch more than ten meters high.

Everyone moved quickly, but all their gazes turned, as if by prior agreement, toward Su Bai and the three girls who had stayed where they were.

"Su Bai! What are you standing there for? Get up here!"

Flender shouted anxiously from the tree.

"Dean, there's no need to worry about us," Su Bai said with a smile.

He even had the leisure to reach out and help Ning Rongrong smooth down her short hair, which the wind had ruffled.

The next moment, under everyone's astonished stares, four dazzling Metal Light Wings unfolded at the same time behind Su Bai, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing.

A faint sound of Soul Power driving them rang out, and the four of them rose lightly off the ground, slowly ascending into midair.

And that was not all.

Su Bai hovered in the air as an invisible Auspicious Aura, with him at its center, quietly spread outward.

The aura was gentle yet majestic, and the absolute pressure carried by that majesty carved out a five-meter-radius area around Su Bai.

"Rumble..."

The Beast Tide charging wildly forward finally appeared in everyone's view.

Hundreds of Spirit Beasts kicked up dust that filled the sky, rushing over like a black torrent, smashing through everything in their path.

Yet then, a bizarre scene occurred.

That violent, irrational torrent of Spirit Beasts, when it charged beneath Su Bai, actually seemed to have encountered an invisible dam.

Every Spirit Beast, whether thousand-year or ten-thousand-year, subconsciously split off toward both sides, forcibly leaving an open space more than ten meters across directly beneath Su Bai.

They did not even dare make a sound, only lowering their heads as they desperately detoured around him.

The entire world seemed to fall silent for an instant.

In the trees, Flender, Zhao Wuji, Tang San, and the others all froze.

Higher up, Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang had their expressions completely solidify.

A Soul Elder flying?

Ten thousand beasts giving way?

What in the world was going on?!

"Grandpa... what... what is that?"

Meng Yiran's voice trembled uncontrollably as she pointed at the youth below whom the countless beasts were avoiding, her mind going completely blank.

"I... I don't know..."

Meng Shu forced a few words out with difficulty.

He had lived for nearly a hundred years and considered himself experienced and knowledgeable, but the scene before him had already completely exceeded the scope of his understanding.

Flender and Zhao Wuji exchanged a glance, both seeing a trace of wry helplessness on the other's face.

"That kid's Flying Spirit Tool really is useful," Flender sighed, his voice full of envy he could not hide.

Money. This was all money!

Tang San stood on the tree branch, his hands digging tightly into the rough bark.

Tang San looked down at Su Bai, who hovered in midair, surrounded by three beauties and overlooking the Beast Tide like a god, and an unprecedented sense of powerlessness surged into his heart.

The poisons he had prepared, the chaotic scene he had imagined—in this moment, all of it had become a joke.

He did not even have a chance to get close to Su Bai.
