Xuan Zi appeared first, his momentum aggressive and imposing.
Below them lay Shrek Academy, yet Di Tian and the other Great Beasts were passing directly overhead as if no one else existed.
They clearly didn't hold Shrek Academy in any regard!
One had to remember, in the current Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy was the undisputed number one spirit master faction!
Who would dare not show them respect?!
Xuan Zi's voice rippled through the air, but before it could even dissipate, the rest of his words caught in his throat.
Because it wasn't just Di Tian passing above; it seemed as if every Great Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest had come out!
There was even the Snow Empress, radiating an aura of bone-chilling cold!
With this lineup, destroying Shrek Academy might not even be impossible!
He had actually led everyone up here—wasn't this just offering their faces up to be slapped?
The Titled Douluo who had followed him up were all dumbfounded at the sight.
The gap in strength between the two sides was massive!
Di Tian, without a doubt, was the strongest powerhouse in the world!
The Snow Empress was likewise at the level of a Limit Douluo!
These two beasts alone would be enough to sweep through Shrek Academy.
Not to mention the other Great Beasts radiating such tyrannical auras.
"..."
For a moment, everyone from Shrek Academy fell silent.
Dozens of gazes converged on Xuan Zi, filled with secret resentment.
They hadn't originally intended to show themselves; it was Xuan Zi who insisted on throwing his weight around and coming up to intercept the beasts.
And now, look at this mess...
Di Tian and the other Great Beasts halted, shielding Liu Feng and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in their center.
They stared at Xuan Zi and his group with cold, icy eyes, their killing intent sharp and biting.
In any other scenario, they would have struck immediately.
But the safety of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Liu Feng was far more important!
"You are Xuan Zi? Where is Mu En of Shrek Academy? Is he dead?"
Di Tian asked in a cold voice.
"..."
Xuan Zi's expression stiffened, all his previous bravado vanishing instantly.
"How could my martial uncle be someone just anyone can see? Are you all on a journey? In such a rush, do you not know that Shrek Academy lies below?"
Xuan Zi said dryly, offering them a way out.
As long as Di Tian claimed he truly didn't know, he would immediately clear the path.
After all, ignorance is no crime!
"Below is Shrek Academy...?"
Lord Bear exclaimed, only just realizing it.
Seeing this, Xuan Zi felt a weight lift from his heart; as expected, the Great Beasts hadn't come for Shrek Academy at all!
He immediately explained, "That's right, below is—"
"Di Tian! Why don't we just cause a scene now? Since we're already here, and they've all run out to meet us, we might as well just kill them all!"
Lord Bear said excitedly, glancing at the Snow Empress beside Di Tian.
With the Snow Empress's help, the success rate would be quite high!
Xuan Zi's face turned green, and he wanted nothing more than to slap himself twice.
Why did he have to jump out?!
Now it was a disaster; he had practically served up a target for Di Tian and the others!
When the Body Sect had incited a beast tide, it had taken their combined efforts to stop Di Tian from starting a massacre.
And now, given the current state of Shrek Academy...
Suddenly, a soft golden light shot up from below, illuminating the space between the two groups and manifesting into the figure of an old man—it was Mu En.
Simultaneously, a sacred and tyrannical Dragon Might appeared.
The Dragon Might was not directed at anyone; it simply existed as a display of presence.
Mu En first glanced at Liu Feng, then spoke:
"...Di Tian, Shrek Academy has no intention of being your enemy. Please take your leave."
Xuan Zi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the voice; fortunately, Mu En was there to cover for him!
Otherwise, his actions just now could very well have brought a catastrophic disaster upon Shrek Academy!
Di Tian said indifferently, "It was Shrek that blocked our path, and now it is you who wish to let us go. Do you take us for fools?"
As Di Tian finished speaking, a tyrannical dragon might suddenly erupted from his body.
In terms of the terror of his aura, it was even above that of Mu En!
The other Great Beasts coordinated in perfect harmony, each releasing their own oppressive momentum.
In an instant, the sky above them seemed to be blanketed by dark clouds!
An extremely low air pressure enveloped the Shrek group, leaving them afraid to make any rash moves.
If a war were to break out, Shrek Academy would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses!
Liu Feng and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion watched with curiosity.
The bodies of the Titled Douluo were small compared to the Great Beasts, yet their auras were not much inferior!
"Liu Feng, I will protect you later!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body expanded until she was as tall as a steed, her frame arching to shield Liu Feng in the center.
Liu Feng smiled and patted her head while observing the Shrek group.
He could sense that Shrek Academy had no intention of fighting whatsoever.
Moreover, there was more than one person observing him!
"...Very well, Di Tian. I have no intention of starting a war. You may propose a reasonable compensation, and we shall let this matter pass. How about that?"
"Shrek Academy truly cannot stop you, but it would also be difficult for you to fully protect everyone else."
Mu En was silent for a moment, his words a mix of compromise and threat.
He had discovered the peculiarity of Liu Feng and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion; they were the key reason Di Tian and the other Great Beasts were hesitant to act!
Di Tian stated directly, "Hand over all the high-level meditation techniques of your Shrek Academy!"
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng nearly laughed out loud.
When it came to whose meditation techniques were the strongest on the Douluo Continent, there was no doubt it was Shrek!
If he could obtain the meditation techniques treasured by Shrek Academy, he could draw inferences from them and master the path to becoming stronger much faster!
"Three meditation techniques."
Mu En's voice was calm; he had not completely compromised due to Di Tian's words.
"Five! Including your own meditation technique! Otherwise, This Seat will strike now and trample your Shrek Academy to the ground!"
"I shall let you ants know the price of offending This Seat!"
Di Tian said coldly.
"Very well..."
Mu En compromised after all; several booklets appeared out of thin air and flew toward Di Tian.
After checking them, Di Tian led the Great Beasts to continue their journey, departing with a flourish!
Xuan Zi clenched his fists, his face flushed red with frustration!
He could feel the strange gazes from those around him!
They must all view him as a liability; it was simply infuriating!
He, Xuan Zi, had roamed the world for many years; other than that one time he had misled Zhang Lexuan and her group of students, what other mistakes had he ever made?
"Elder Mu, I..."
Mu En shook his head gently, and his figure, formed of golden light, gradually faded until it disappeared completely.
"That child is somewhat special. Di Tian's demand for the meditation techniques was likely for his sake. If possible, keep an eye on him..."
Xuan Zi raised his hand, feeling helpless.
The others landed one after another, none of them speaking further to Xuan Zi.
Not long after.
The Great Beasts arrived at the Extreme North, a world of silver-clad, snow-covered landscapes.
The Great Beasts were somewhat unaccustomed to being here; the climate was far less suitable than that of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Snow Empress's territory was located in a deep, snowy valley, which housed a palace crafted from ice. Its style was rugged, large enough to accommodate the true forms of the Great Beasts.
After landing, they transformed into their human forms one after another.
Liu Feng looked around with curiosity; from the moment he entered the Extreme North, he had not felt a single trace of cold.
The molted shell of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm made him immune to both heat and cold!
The Snow Empress said, "At the shortest, seven or eight days; at the longest, half a month. Once I have made all the necessary preparations, I will trigger the Heavenly Tribulation."
"Therefore, during the time that follows, you may roam as you please, provided you do not engage in excessive slaughter."
The Snow Empress looked toward Liu Feng, the corners of her mouth curling upward, "The Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus is not in my hands just yet, but I have sensed its aura. It will not be long before I bestow it upon you."
Liu Feng nodded in anticipation; that was equivalent to an immortal herb!
However, he was currently more interested in the five top-tier meditation techniques!
As for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, she was extremely interested in the world of snow and could run about happily on her own.
