One day when the sun was at its highest.
The skies above the main point of the Beast Taming School rippled uncertainly with energy before a single figure walked out from the ripples.
It was Bai Yunfei.
Seven days had passed. It was now the day Li Chengfeng said was the most optimal time to strike. He said this time was the closest time and so Bai Yunfei waited until now to appear.
And here he was today. He was there, standing in front of the gates to the Beast Taming School.
He had no plans of subterfuge or any other ‘hidden tactics’. In the face of overwhelming strength like the one he possessed, there was no point in having plans like that!
It was best to simply charge and attack!
Bai Yunfei could feel the auras of many soul cultivators all throughout the mountains beneath him. Every single one of these auras belonged to a beast tamer.
This place would become a bloodbath, though Bai Yunfei was prepared for such a slaughter. He knew that these people would almost all definitely die here. No matter how strong they were or how rich of a status they had…every beast tamer here would most likely not escape their fate.
The time for mercy was gone. There was none left to give to his enemies. What need was there for hesitation if they had all decided to destroy the Beast Taming School!?
“Phew…”
Bai Yunfei drew out a long breath to wipe out any stray thoughts from his mind. Drawing his soulforce to him, he allowed his aura to announce itself to everyone in the area!
No words were spoken, but his aura was more than enough to make the declaration of war!
“Boom!!!”
It felt like the entire world froze still. The moment when Bai Yunfei’s aura spread itself out, the world was washed with a wave of fire that devoured the clouds and threatened to drown out the world below.
“What?! What’s this?!”
“What’s going on?! What’s happening?!”
“Who’s aura is that, what’s going on?!”
Pandemonium was instantaneous. Beast tamers stormed out from their homes within seconds to stare up at the ocean of fire above their heads.
“A Soul Emperor!?”
Several of the Soul Kings realized the significance of this aura straight away. Upon sensing Bai Yunfei’s aura, these Soul Kings began to gather together in front of the gates.
“Bzzz…”
The air rippled with energy waves as a powerful burst of soulforce exploded from within the main halls of the Beast Taming School. Not even the clouds above the main hall were spared from this explosion and were blown apart. It seemed to stall the ocean of fire for just a moment before a green ray of light appeared in front of the other Soul Kings gathered.
“Master Chu!”
“Teacher Chu!”
Several of the Soul Kings bowed at once to the newcomer.
This newcomer was one of the older members of the school and the most senior of the ones here. His name was Chu Hongrong, an Early-stage Soul Emperor!
It only took ten seconds at most for all the Soul Kings to gather in the same area. Combined with Chu Hongrong, the part of the skies with the beast tamers looked especially powerful.
Heaving a sigh of relief that he could only sense a single Early-stage Soul Emperor, Chu Hongrong leveled a warning glare at Bai Yunfei, “Who are you and why are you here?!”
His voice was like thunder with how loud it was and how much it echoed.
Meanwhile, Bai Yunfei was observing Chu Hongrong with a suspicious gaze, “Only one Soul Emperor came out? Fine then…I’ll take him out first and leave us with one less problem.”
“I am Bai Yunfei of the Crafting School…I came here to topple your school! From today onward, there will be no more Beast Taming School!!” He declared in response to Chu Hongrong.
Every single person went white in fear the moment they heard his name.
“Bai Yunfei!! It’s Bai Yunfei!”
“He’s here! The headmaster was right all along!”
“A Soul Emperor…how is he a Soul Emperor?! Didn’t the headmaster say he was only a Peak Late-stage Soul King?!”
“He came here to our school all by himself! Does he really think we’re an easy target to bully?! It’s hopeless for him, even if he has any helpers. Our numbers are unequal!”
His name sent murmurs across the crowd of Soul Kings. Many of them were shocked to hear his name.
The most silent beast tamer was Chu Hongrong. “Bai Yunfei?! He’s really here?! Is he related to Duan Tianqing’s death somehow? Then did he come from the Soulbeast Forest? If he has the Core Stone…how many people did he bring here?!”
“It’s as the headmaster said…” He cursed to himself, “Damn! Why now of all times!? We have to stall him!”
His mind working miles per minute, Chu Hongrong decided to raise his hand to the sky!
“Topple our school?! You talk big for a worm! Die!!”
“Roarrr!!!”
The roar of a beast suddenly exploded across the sky!
It happened when his right hand came down. There was a flash of green light as a green-winged lion came forth in front of him!
It was an early-stage class eight soulbeast, a galewing lion!
Its arrival was graced with its loud roar. The world trembled with the echoes and shook with its soulforce.
Then out of nowhere, a tornado came down where Bai Yunfei stood!
Chu Hongrong was taking the initiative to strike!
“Trying to test my strength? That’s going to cost you your life!” Bai Yunfei laughed to himself upon seeing the tornado.
“Bzzz…”
A black whirlpool materialized above Bai Yunfei, much to everyone’s surprise. They didn’t even feel a blip of soulforce come from Bai Yunfei!
The tornado dropped down into the whirlpool. Rather than come out from the other side, the tornado was simply absorbed into it without coming back out!
Soon the tornado was nowhere to be seen. It was entirely devoured by the whirlpool. Then the whirlpool dissipated without a trace!
The world grew quiet as the soul cultivators tried to digest the sight in front of them. They couldn’t believe Bai Yunfei was completely unharmed…
Not even Chu Hongrong could believe his eyes.
Bai Yunfei was the only one to remain calm upon seeing the +13 additional effect of his armor activate. He simply took a single step out and whipped his right arm out!
A flash of black light left his right hand and traveled for Chu Hongrong at blinding speed!
