"As expected of the Six-Tailed Flame Emperor, so fierce!"
"My Brother Chu made a name for himself in the battle at the mine. This Bizarre Snake? It’s utterly worthless!"
"That’s true, but this Bizarre Snake is associated with the Evil Gods. We’re just waiting to see Chu Yi fail."
The crowd’s reactions varied. Even the instructors and teachers summoned their Pet Beasts, as if facing a formidable enemy.
They were wary of the shockwaves from the ensuing battle.
"The ancient incantations are remnants of the Evil Gods’ power in this world! This is the curse of the God of Flesh and Blood, possessing combat strength close to the Dawn Star level!"
The middle-aged man frowned, somewhat disappointed in Chu Yi.
He shouldn’t think that just because he has a King’s Cub, he’s invincible. In the Imperial Capital, geniuses stronger than Chu Yi are as numerous as ox hairs, as brilliant as the multitude of stars.
What disappointed him was that this kid had lost himself in his temporary power, becoming arrogant and looking down on everyone.
Arrogance and ignorance are a Beast Tamer’s greatest taboos.
"Sir, perhaps we should protect Chu Yi."
The old dean was stunned. This is too reckless! No matter how strong, a King’s Cub has its limits.
"It would be good for him to learn a lesson. We can save him later."
The middle-aged man stopped the old dean from acting, calmly saying, "Besides, since he’s so confident, let him exert himself fully. It’s better than him losing his life in the future."
The old dean hesitated, but he couldn’t easily go against the middle-aged man’s wishes.
After all, the other man was the Chief Instructor of the Starfire Sequence in Yaoguang City.
The Bizarre Snake grinned fiercely. Its head, continuously writhing with flesh and shrouded in a sinister, corrupting power, split into more than ten pieces. Each piece transformed into a head covered in fleshy tumors, bearing various human faces—women, children, the elderly, and middle-aged people.
Its malevolent gaze swept over every face in the academy, as if sizing up a lavish feast, a sinister smile spreading across its features.
The next moment, blazing flames licked its face.
Just then, Bika unleashed its Crown Flame once more. Amidst the roar of the Six-Tailed Mad Dragon, the raging fire transformed into a swirling vortex connecting heaven and earth!
A massive Flame Pillar shot into the sky.
With the pillar at its center, whirlwinds spiraled and fire rained down, burning across the boundless sky.
The entire sky seemed to boil like a giant cauldron, weaving an apocalyptic vision!
"I called you trash, and you’d better believe it."
Chu Yi sighed once more. Within the Chaotic Burial Mound, countless lingering spirits trembled, their essence siphoned to replenish Bika’s spiritual energy and recover from its terrifying consumption.
Each activation of a King’s Technique required a massive amount of spiritual energy.
The Bizarre Snake was dumbfounded. Previously, in that sealed space, the King’s Cub didn’t show this much strength! Where did it get so much spiritual energy to squander?!
"What skill is this? Could it be the move that slays those aberrations?!"
"So cool! It’s truly awesome! Quick, record it and make it a dynamic wallpaper! I’m obsessed!"
"The smart fans have already started filming..."
Everyone watched with their blood boiling, personally witnessing the Six-Tailed Flame Emperor unleash its ultimate move. What incredible luck!
The terrifying Kingly Aura radiated outwards, igniting a wildfire that rapidly swept across the entire training field, making everyone who witnessed it feel as if they were facing a natural disaster.
The summoned Pet Beasts were all dizzy, their hearts pounding in terror.
The weaker ones couldn’t withstand this Kingly Aura and fainted. Coincidentally, a group of flying-type Pet Beasts plummeted from the sky like a hail of dumplings, creating a memorable scene.
Even esteemed Golden Beast Tamers couldn’t help but take a step back, intimidated by this Kingly Aura.
The middle-aged man, who had been expecting to see Chu Yi make a fool of himself, had a slight change in expression. He gazed at the blazing sun-like core, from which ribbons of blood-flame danced freely, extending into six majestic Crown Flame Mad Dragons, now many times thicker than before.
No matter how you looked at them, they appeared to be six pure-blooded Fire Dragons, baring fangs and claws, as if tearing through the nine heavens!
Under everyone’s shocked gaze, the Flame Pillar smashed into the Bizarre Snake. This grotesque, flesh-and-blood spawn of the Evil Gods twisted and struggled wantonly, yet it was still dragged upward, entangled by Crown Flame Iron Chains.
The Crown Flame Six-Tailed Fox raised its neck, its vertical pupils filled with kingly majesty, disdainfully staring at the Bizarre Snake, which was now whispering pleas for mercy. The six dragons behind it then pounced, their speed almost instantaneous, like a flash, leaving crisscrossing trails of crimson.
It was like ink being recklessly splashed across a sheet of paper.
Despair slowly crept up from the depths of the Bone Snake man’s eyes, the man who was fused with the Bizarre Snake’s flesh. He had underestimated the King’s Cub’s power and overestimated the strength of the ancient incantations.
The Flesh Curse was his trump card! It was this King’s Cub, this Beast-Controlling Demon, who was hiding too many secrets!
The next instant, countless crimson lights shot into the Bizarre Snake’s body, shuttling back and forth, piercing it as if by ten thousand arrows, unleashing a crimson storm of death.
Every strike painted a thick stroke of color, as if depicting a picture.
Under the crowd’s shocked and dumbfounded gazes, the six dragons wove a gigantic, blood-red flower, its captivating beauty concealing a lethal chill.
Compared to the first time it was used, Bika was much more proficient this time, and its power had increased significantly.
The bud swelled to its limit and then bloomed furiously, bursting into a dazzling firework that unleashed a downpour of splendid colors, creating a true visual feast!
This strange phenomenon also drew attention from outside the academy.
"What’s happening? Fire clouds, beautiful flowers, fireworks in broad daylight! Am I dreaming?!"
"Damn it! Whose fireworks caused a twelve-car pile-up?! My new car!"
"...Jiang Xiaoxiao, I love you! Marry me!"
"What exactly is happening?!"
Countless people stopped to take photos, causing massive traffic congestion.
Some even mistook it for the apocalypse and, without a second thought, began "zero-cost shopping"—looting.
Soon after, a slew of rumors spread like wildfire: Yaoguang City had suffered a nuclear strike; an alternate dimension battlefield had opened; some rich young master was pursuing a pure starlet by setting off ten thousand pounds of fireworks in broad daylight...
Eventually, the rumors merged, becoming a fantastical tale of a financial magnate’s son pursuing an anime girl by using a nuclear bomb as a firework to open a gate to an alternate dimension battlefield...
It was chaos. Complete chaos.
「Inside the academy.」
Scorching heat waves surged forth, striking everyone present like a physical blow, leaving them dumbstruck and frozen in place.
After a moment of silence, once people began to react, a cacophony of voices erupted, rising and falling all around:
"Did I see that right? That creature of the Evil Gods was insta-killed!"
"My Star Bracelet is broken!" someone cried out in distress. "The destructive power is just too immense! Say, can I ask the Six-Tailed Flame Emperor for compensation? This is a society governed by law; even Demons have to follow the rules, right?"
"I want to know if this is real! Am I dreaming? What kind of Demon is this?!"
"Beneath the nuclear explosion, all beings are equal!"
"No boasting, no bias—my Brother Chu is invincible!"
