Gu Yuena Leads Fierce Beasts to Emerge! Xiao Wu Drops Out of School?

"Star Dou is only second? I refuse to accept this!!"

Xiong Jun slammed a palm onto the ground and roared at the sky.

Beside him, Wan Yao Wang and Chi Wang also wore expressions of utter disbelief:

"Looking across the world, aside from us in Star Dou, what other faction could possess a true god like our Lord?!"

"To not be first is simply ridiculous!!"

Di Tian, Zi Ji, and Bi Ji remained silent, yet they felt it was equally unreasonable.

Gu Yuena, known for inheriting the 'wisdom' of the Dragon God, quickly considered a possibility:

"Hmph, this Sky Screen ranks the factions of this plane, and since the God Realm governs this plane, it is highly likely that they have been included as well! The first place must be the God Realm!"

The present Six Great Beast Kings all agreed; it was the only possibility.

Di Tian, who always had his own opinions, slowly nodded at this moment.

In the next instant, the Sky Screen descended a golden beam of light, passing through the Life Lake and the space of the small world.

It landed precisely in front of Gu Yuena, then split into three small orbs of light, transforming into three supreme treasures.

One was a red gem inlaid with gold, one was a golden scepter, and one was a dark red spiked chest plate!

"These must be the three Heaven-sent rewards. Such pure and majestic energy; I wonder what their functions are?!"

The Six Great Beast Kings felt the energy radiating from them and couldn't help but exclaim.

Gu Yuena reached out to touch them, and the introductory information for the three pieces of equipment flooded into her consciousness:

[Quasi-Artifact "Extreme Shadow: Passive · Swift Aura Field [All friendly units within a radius of eight hundred meters receive a ten percent increase in attack speed, soul power recovery, and cooldown reduction]"!]

[Quasi-Artifact "Moonlight: Active · Moon's Protection [Absolute invincibility, ignoring all forms of attack effects; even the strongest god-tier skills cannot inflict a single point of damage, but the user cannot move or use any skills while active, lasting two seconds, with a cooldown of sixty minutes]"!]

[Artifact "Thornmail: Active · Counter-Thorn [Enter the Counter-Thorn state for three seconds, reflecting forty percent of the damage received during this period back to the opponent as true damage (true damage ignores all shields and defenses, unless the target is untargetable or in a higher-tier state of invincibility/damage immunity), with a cooldown of sixty minutes]"!]

"They actually possess such divine effects!"

A rare look of astonishment flashed through Gu Yuena's purple eyes.

The other beast kings hurriedly asked:

"Lord, what are the effects of these three divine objects? Could you tell us?"

Gu Yuena's purple eyes returned to calm as she stated their effects one by one.

"What?!!"

Upon hearing this, all the beast kings present were stunned, discussing it fervently:

"Extreme Shadow can enhance all friendly units in an area; if a large-scale battle breaks out, this is simply a divine artifact!"

"Thornmail reflects forty percent of damage; such a high amount is enough to challenge any opponent above one's own level. It truly lives up to the name of an artifact!"

"This Moonlight is even more heaven-defying, ignoring all attacks! If it weren't for the fact that one cannot move while using it, which lowers its practicality, calling it a super-artifact would not be an exaggeration!"

And just as they were in the heat of their discussion.

Outside on the Life Lake, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were also plunged into shock.

They did not know of the existence of the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian, and they stared at the content of the Sky Screen in a daze.

But as the golden beam of light from the Sky Screen landed beneath the Life Lake, they realized something.

Beneath the Life Lake, there was a world of its own!!!

"Big Brother, for all these years, we have actually been living under someone else's surveillance! I wonder if they harbor any malice toward us?"

The Titan Giant Ape, who was usually afraid of nothing, trembled, feeling a sense of terror upon deeper thought.

The Sky Azure Bull Python, who usually possessed some wisdom, was at a loss for ideas at this moment, staring intently at the surface of the Life Lake.

Gu Yuena and the others below naturally heard their conversation clearly.

Gu Yuena put away the three pieces of equipment, her purple eyes deep and solemn for a moment, and she commanded with majesty:

"Since we have already been exposed, let us emerge! Gather all the powerful soul beasts of Star Dou to prepare for the changes that may come!"

As her words fell, the three beast kings Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, and Chi Wang all accepted the order.

However, the three beast kings Di Tian, Zi Ji, and Bi Ji held the exact opposite view:

"Lord, you have yet to fully recover from your severe injuries. If we emerge now and are targeted by the God Realm, it could be very disadvantageous!"

How could Gu Yuena not have considered this? Her tone carried a trace of unquestionable firmness:

"The Sky Screen has already pushed this King to the forefront; hiding is merely deceiving oneself! We can only see if the rewards from the subsequent Sky Screen rankings can help this King recover from these injuries!"

Hearing this, Di Tian bowed and left to carry out the order:

"As you command! I shall go and gather all the powerful soul beasts of Star Dou immediately!"

Gu Yuena watched his retreating figure and declared with majestic intensity:

"We have been immersed in this small world for countless tens of thousands of years; it is time to awaken!!!"

Extreme North.

Bingdi and Xue Di were searching for the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave.

Seeing the Sky Screen update, the two stunning figures suddenly came to a halt.

When they saw the ranked faction and the evaluation content, both were shocked.

Beyond Di Tian and the Six Great Beast Kings, the Star Dou Forest actually harbored the divine beast, the Silver Dragon King!

Bingdi was the first to speak, her voice heavy with disbelief:

"Tens of thousands of years ago, Di Tian and the other great beasts visited our Extreme North many times, attempting to recruit us, yet we never heard a word of this from them!"

A look of equal surprise crossed Xue Di's beautiful face:

"What is even more astonishing is that with such a foundation, Star Dou still only ranks second?"

The two exchanged a glance, both harboring a bold guess:

"Could the first be... the God Realm?!"

Bingdi took Xue Di's slender hand and smirked:

"Xue'er, the God Realm being first is all benefit and no harm to us, as they cannot interfere with the lower realm. Now that the Star Dou soul beast faction has been exposed, they will surely draw away much of the attention and focus of human soul masters. If humans do come to invade the Extreme North later, we can leverage the influence of Star Dou!"

Xue Di flicked her forehead, retorting crossly:

"How can we scheme against our fellow soul beasts? We must focus on finding the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave to strengthen ourselves."

Bingdi covered her forehead, turning her head away in a huff, and muttered:

"Hmph, don't forget that when that guy Di Tian came to the Extreme North those few times, he was trying to force us to submit. He's no good!"

Seeing her unhappy, Xue Di smiled helplessly, pulled her into an embrace, and coaxed:

"Bing'er, alright, alright. The past is in the past. With soul beasts being exposed one after another, we should work together."

Bingdi's mood softened slightly, though she continued to grumble, gently biting Xue Di's earlobe.

"Mmm~~ You!"

Xue Di's delicate body trembled; Bingdi's little gesture made her both shy and annoyed, yet she could do nothing about it.

She couldn't exactly... bite her back...

Suotuo City, Shrek Academy.

Everyone was once again stunned by the content on the Sky Screen.

Zhao Wuji exclaimed:

"The Star Dou Forest actually hides a living divine dragon beast that not only masters seven elements but also possesses a divine artifact!"

Ma Hongjun swallowed hard, shocked:

"This Silver Dragon King must be a top-tier existence among the dragon race; any Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon would look pathetic in front of her!"

Hearing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon being belittled again, Yu Xiaogang grew angry:

"Nonsense! This is clearly a fraudulent, fake ranking! If Star Dou truly had such a foundation, how could there be no rumors left behind from ancient times to the present?"

Not far away, Xiao Wu stared at the Sky Screen with wide eyes.

The Star Dou Forest actually hid such a terrifying existence?

Now that the Sky Screen had exposed them, they would surely emerge, and if she could seek their help...

She could avenge her mother!

That was right, she would return to the Star Dou Forest; she had no attachment to this place anyway!

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu walked quickly toward the group, looked at Flender, and said solemnly:

"Dean Flender, I want to withdraw from Shrek Academy!"
