"Hehehe, you said it yourselves. I am the embodiment of the Dragon God's negative energy. Nothing I do should come as a surprise.
Besides, although my intentions were bad, the outcome was good, wasn't it?"
What a terrifying fellow.
Lin Ming was utterly speechless.
Meanwhile,
Di Tian, who had been traveling at full speed through spatial teleportation, had already crossed a thousand miles and entered the bustling Shrek City.
After holing up in the Star Dou Great Forest for so many years, this was his first visit to a human city.
The moment he set foot in Shrek City, Di Tian felt a wave of desolation. Everywhere he looked was a scene of flourishing prosperity.
"So this is Shrek City?
Everyone is smiling so happily.
Yet the Soul Beast Clan has already been wiped out completely."
With his temper, he should have started wreaking havoc at the city gates right then.
But he had kept Lin Ming's orders firmly in mind. He concealed all his aura and, like an ordinary middle-aged man, walked down the streets straight toward Shrek Academy.
Those outside the gates assumed Di Tian was a parent visiting a relative, so they did not stop him.
But once he fully entered the academy, Shrek's barrier instantly detected his soul power level. Immediately afterward, a piercing alarm rang throughout Shrek Academy.
The next moment, several figures shot out from various parts of the academy. Every one of them was a powerful instructor, with cultivation at least at the Soul Douluo level.
The person leading them was a Super Douluo-Shrek's Outer Court Dean, Cai Yue'er.
Her expression was now utterly grave, her eyes full of vigilance as she stared fixedly at Di Tian.
Who is this man? His physical body alone triggered the academy's Ultimate Monitoring. His strength must be unfathomable.
Why have I never seen him before?
"Who are you? Why have you come to our Shrek Academy without cause?"
All the experts stood ready for battle, prepared to strike against the enemy at any moment.
Some even hurried to the Sea God Pavilion immediately to report to elders such as Yun Ming and Long Yeyue.
Di Tian had long expected this.
He had never intended to hide himself, either.
After all, he had come to wreak havoc, and he was quite confident in his own strength.
He had no intention whatsoever of acknowledging Cai Yue'er and turned a blind eye to everyone else's hostility as well.
Ignoring all the killing intent, Di Tian neither attacked nor stopped, simply walking calmly toward Shrek Academy's cafeteria.
Seeing that Di Tian had not attacked, the others did not dare provoke him first. They merely followed him, watching him warily the whole time.
It was noon, the busiest dining hour at Shrek Academy.
Crowds of students poured excitedly into the cafeteria, ready to enjoy their food.
As the continent's number-one academy, Shrek Academy possessed resources more staggering than those of any other academy.
Even ordinary outer court students ate premium ingredients containing tremendous energy.
High-Rank students even had soul beast meat with every meal.
What the inner court's core disciples ate was even more extravagant.
This was also Shrek's trump card for recruiting geniuses, second to none.
There was not a single Soul Master in the world who did not want the benefits of Shrek Academy's soul beast meals.
After Di Tian entered the cafeteria, the students immediately cleared out, for everyone had realized the severity of the situation.
Only Di Tian, experts such as Cai Yue'er, and the cafeteria staff remained inside.
Di Tian swept his gaze over the place.
This was a dining area for High-Rank students, and all the meat came from high-grade soul beasts.
After glancing at the menu, Di Tian broke his silence for once.
"Bring me your highest-tier soul beast set meals. One of everything."
With that, Di Tian quietly sat down to one side.
His expression, however, was truly grim.
The cafeteria staff did not dare neglect him in the slightest. They immediately served Di Tian one of every set meal available that day, including the very highest tier.
Thousand-year Dark Iron Bear Paw Stew, Five-Colored Deer Meat Stir-Fried with Lingzhi, High-Grade Yunying Beast Meat Soup...
These were all soul beasts that had been extinct for years, yet here they were on Shrek Academy's dining tables.
As Di Tian looked at the dozen or so peerless delicacies, each different from the next, a smile actually appeared on his taut face.
"Hehehehe..."
He seemed to understand why Lin Ming had told him to come to the cafeteria.
"The Soul Beast Clan has been extinct for thousands of years. I'm rather curious-where exactly does Shrek get this endless supply of soul beast meat?
These aren't things you can obtain just by raising livestock."
As soon as Di Tian finished speaking, Cai Yue'er seemed to have guessed his purpose in coming.
This fellow was powerful, yet he had not taken the initiative to attack. He had merely come to the cafeteria, selected soul beast meat, and asked questions after seeing it.
Either he wanted to enroll a genius from his family at Shrek and was checking the cafeteria's offerings first, or he had come for their soul beast meat. Either way, he wanted something from them. Thus, Cai Yue'er was no longer alarmed, and a sense of superiority welled up within her.
"Our Shrek Academy naturally has an endless supply of soul beast meat.
Even if we ate it for several hundred years, we wouldn't finish it all. Across the entire continent, only our Shrek Academy can afford to provide students with such luxurious set meals to improve their bodies and increase their soul power.
Shrek only recruits geniuses, and only geniuses deserve such treatment."
"You couldn't finish it even after several hundred years?
That is quite a large stockpile. I wonder where it is."
At Di Tian's words, Cai Yue'er immediately gave him a scrutinizing look.
"Are you looking to purchase the soul beast meat stored at our Shrek Academy?
Then I'm sorry, but this is a benefit our academy provides to its students. None of it is for sale.
As for your wish to know where we store it, that is even more out of the question."
"No matter. I already know. I'll simply go and see for myself."
With that, Di Tian wasted no more words.
His eyes were already red. Just as Lin Ming had said, his rage had begun to stack up.
He unleashed the full extent of his mind. His nearly divine spiritual power, vast as the sea, instantly permeated the entire cafeteria.
The next moment, Di Tian's consciousness passed through layer upon layer of isolating barriers, precisely locking onto an enormous space several hundred meters beneath the cafeteria.
Immediately afterward, a cold gleam flashed in Di Tian's hand. A golden Dragon God Claw appeared instantly and plunged fiercely downward.
Dragon God Claw! The golden dragon claw, carrying an incomparably sharp edge, sliced unhindered through Shrek's cafeteria floor, which had been forged from top-tier soul tools. It then pierced through several more all the way underground, nearly splitting the entire cafeteria apart with a single strike and leaving countless dead and injured.
But Di Tian paid no attention to the wailing. Before the experts could react, he jumped into the enormous fissure and flew downward.
A moment later, an enormous ice cellar came into view.
How large was this ice cellar?
Its bottom was nowhere in sight, nor were its boundaries. It was as though the entire underground expanse beneath Shrek City was one vast ice cellar.
There was only one thing inside: soul beast corpses.
Corpses of hundred-year, thousand-year, and ten-thousand-year soul beasts were packed densely together, sealed away and frozen in ice.
"I wondered why the Spirit Pagoda had been so powerful back then, able to sweep through the Star Dou Great Forest. So it turns out Shrek and the Spirit Pagoda were jackals conspiring together.
The Spirit Pagoda took the souls, while Shrek took the meat. Every last soul beast corpse was hidden beneath Shrek to nourish your Soul Masters.
Hahahaha...
What a Shrek. How very ruthless!"
Di Tian's rage had maxed out. Now, all he wanted was to unleash a slaughter.
"Who exactly are you?"
Cai Yue'er followed close behind with the others, glaring furiously at Di Tian!
Dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in Di Tian's eyes, like Golden Eyes that would never be extinguished, mingled with the blood-red glow of rage, their ferocity laid bare:
"I am,
Beast God Di Tian!
If you have no last words,
then you can die."
