Challenge! (Seeking Follow-ups, Seeking Follow-ups)

"Moo--" "Hiss--"

The two behemoths let out pained roars, especially the Swamp Poison Centipede, as the Light Element magic was essentially a hard counter to creatures like it that possessed dark attributes.

"To think they still aren't dead; it seems I need to increase the intensity!"

"Snow Empress, assist me!"

The next second, the Snow Empress beside Lingling took flight. She hovered in mid-air, her entire body radiating bone-chilling cold.

Ice crystals and snow danced in the sky, the extreme cold freezing even the air itself.

Even from two and a half miles away, Lingling felt the chill, unable to stop herself from breathing into her palms to generate heat through friction.

[Emperor Sword: Ice Extreme Unrivaled!]

A point of blue light condensed at the Snow Empress's fingertip. With a flick of her finger, a sharp blade of light slashed toward the Armored Shell Giant Lizard, the power of extreme cold instantly transforming it into a mountain-sized ice sculpture.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had also been summoned by Lan Yu. The moment it appeared, it flapped its wings, circling above the two Commander Level beasts, its blood-red eyes peering down at them as if searching for a weakness.

Perhaps because it followed a steady and cautious master, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger also held onto the philosophy of "taking down an opponent without taking damage."

The next second, the surrounding air fluctuated violently, a fierce gale whipped up, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger vanished in a flash.

When its figure reappeared, it was already behind the Armored Shell Giant Lizard.

It raised both tiger claws, the black claw-light shearing viciously toward the Armored Shell Giant Lizard's tail!

Puchi--

"Moo--"

The Armored Shell Giant Lizard, having just forcibly broken free from the ice, let out a sharp howl of pain.

Although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's attack failed to sever the tail, it left a deep wound, with dark purple blood gushing out.

At the same time, the Ice Domain casually released by the Snow Empress turned the surrounding kilometer into a frozen wasteland.

[Emperor Palm: Great Cold No Snow!]

The Snow Empress condensed the Ultimate Ice into her palm. As she struck, a giant ice palm flew out, slamming heavily into the Swamp Poison Centipede.

In that instant, the Swamp Poison Centipede felt its very soul being frozen.

And indeed, it was.

The Armored Shell Giant Lizard was covered in wounds inflicted by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and as the giant ice palm struck, the tiger dodged aside.

In a flash, the Armored Shell Giant Lizard suffered the same fate as the Swamp Poison Centipede, struck by the Snow Empress's Emperor Palm: Great Cold No Snow.

"Light Fall Myriad Zhang!"

Immediately following, a rain of light descended from the sky, mercilessly piercing the Armored Shell Giant Lizard and the Swamp Poison Centipede, whose souls were already frozen.

This time, it was not arrows of light, but swords of light!

Under Lan Yu's mental control, every sword of light struck directly at the vital points of the two behemoths.

If one strike couldn't kill them, then he would use more!

Finally, after the third Light Fall Myriad Zhang, the Armored Shell Giant Lizard and the Swamp Poison Centipede died at Lan Yu's hands.

"Go ahead."

Seeing the impatient look in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes, Lan Yu smiled.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger skillfully "dug out the heart and lungs," swallowing the demon cores and demon hearts of the Armored Shell Giant Lizard and the Swamp Poison Centipede without hesitation.

The Snow Empress merely frowned slightly, but said nothing about this behavior.

She knew that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was a soul beast that did not rely on cultivation to increase its strength, but rather on devouring soul masters and soul beasts. Since they were not on the Douluo Continent and Lan Yu had permitted it, it didn't matter.

Lingling, watching from afar, was stunned. They had actually slaughtered two Commander Level creatures?!

Those were Commander Level creatures! It usually took seven or eight well-coordinated High-level Mages to take down just one!

Did this guy take some kind of drug?

Lingling couldn't help but be suspicious. Otherwise, as a single High-level Mage, even with a high-bloodline summon and an Ice Element spirit, it shouldn't be possible to take down two heavily injured Commander Level beasts.

Even a heavily injured Commander Level beast could kill a Warrior Level creature with a casual strike.

"Taking down two Commander Level creatures without a scratch, we're truly awesome." Lan Yu laughed with a hint of narcissism.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, blood still dripping from its mouth, couldn't help but nod in agreement upon hearing Lan Yu's words.

The Snow Empress folded her hands in front of her, smiling silently.

The magic world seemed quite interesting.

"Job done, let's head home."

Returning to Biyi City, Lan Yu did not sell the Earth Element spirit seed, Flowing Swamp, but instead let the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger devour its spiritual essence.

As a result, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger gained earth-attribute abilities, including some characteristics of the Flowing Swamp.

Because it had swallowed the demon cores and hearts of the Swamp Poison Centipede, which contained toxins, it also integrated the poison abilities of the Swamp Poison Centipede.

This led Lingling to curse him for being a spendthrift, as a top-tier spirit seed worth thirty million had just been devoured by his summoned beast.

Lan Yu didn't mind; after all, he still held the compensation from the Lu Family and Lu Nian's unit, so he wasn't worried about resources for his subsequent cultivation.

He would use the Three-Step Tower to break his Summoning Element through to the High Level, which would also allow the strength of the Snow Empress and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to be further elevated.

Unknowingly, autumn had arrived quietly.

The fallen leaves and fluttering willow catkins visible everywhere filled the entire Pearl Academy with a touch of poetic charm.

Lan Yu emerged from the Three-Step Tower full of joy. This time, besides advancing his Summoning Element to the High Level, both his Light Element and Ice-Fire Element had increased by one rank.

Ever since his Summoning Element broke through to the High Level, the power of the Snow Empress and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had also been unsealed to the Commander Level.

Take the Armored Shell Giant Lizard and the Swamp Poison Centipede from West Glow Valley two months ago; either the Snow Empress or the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could hang them both up and beat them simultaneously.

Even though it was autumn, the school was still a rhythm of short skirts, JK uniforms, silk stockings, over-the-knee socks, and ankle socks.

Lan Yu was still feasting his eyes.

Back in the apartment, that paramecium Ai Tutu hopped over to Lan Yu and held up her phone for him to see:

"Lan Yu, Lan Yu, look! That guy Zhou Shuming has teamed up with some people from your Light Institute and actually issued a challenge to you."

"Oh?"

Lan Yu took the phone from Ai Tutu and looked at it carefully; the content was indeed Zhou Shuming wanting to challenge him.

"Are they out of their minds?" Lan Yu returned the phone to Ai Tutu, raising an eyebrow.

Who didn't know by now that he had a Great War General level summoned beast in his hands, not to mention it was now at the Commander Level? Wasn't this just asking to be hung up and beaten?

"Ghost knows, but you'd better give that Zhou Shuming a good thrashing next week. Just seeing him is so annoying."

"What institute is that Zhou Shuming from?" Lan Yu asked.

"He's from the Thunder Institute. He acts like he's venting anger for his lackey Lin Tingyu, but in reality, he just wants to make you lose face so he can step on you to climb up. It's disgusting." Ai Tutu wore a look of utter disdain when mentioning Zhou Shuming.

"Doesn't matter. Let them come. If I don't beat them until their faces bloom like peach blossoms, I'll spell my name backward."
