Chapter 1189 1200: More Challengers
Inside the transparent Magic Energy Shield, the whirlwind grew stronger, black mist swept through, and even crashed into the shield, creating an ear-piercing sound of friction.
At this moment, the inside and outside of the shield were like Hell and the Human World separated.
"Brother Wang Yan!" Beiming Xue suddenly rushed out from the Flame Peak, flying toward the Magic Energy Shield.
But with the protection of the shield, Beiming Xue couldn't reach the arena at all.
Standing outside the shield, Beiming Xue kept pounding it, filled with anxiety.
Not only Beiming Xue, but everyone lowered their heads, wondering how Wang Yan could survive such a frenzied attack.
Elder Si Qin had several impulses to break the shield, but thinking about the potential casualties the opening would cause, he restrained himself and stopped.
Everyone anxiously waited as they saw the black mist inside the shield gradually stop, thinning and slowly dispersing.
Everyone kept their eyes fixed on the arena, fearful of witnessing Lai Yisheng killing Wang Yan.
Finally, when the mist completely disappeared, they were stunned to see a huge four-legged figure standing there proudly.
Seeing it was a four-legged silhouette, everyone's hearts sank, believing it was Lai Yisheng transformed into the toad, implying Wang Yan must be dead.
However, as the mist thinned further, everyone finally saw clearly.
Standing on the arena was not a toad, but a blue Gray Wolf.
The Gray Wolf stood over two people tall, covered with bristling blue fur, and its eyes cold as ice.
Under its feet lay another giant beast, its mouth open, eyes shut, clearly knocked out cold.
This unconscious beast was indeed Lai Yisheng's toad transformation.
"Wang Yan actually won!"
Everyone's hearts were filled with joy, surprised that Wang Yan managed to overcome Lai Yisheng.
But then doubts arose; how did Wang Yan defeat Lai Yisheng?
However, the next moment, everyone's eyes widened as they saw four Soul Stars orbiting around the Gray Wolf.
These four Soul Stars were orange, yellow, blue, and indigo.
Seeing these stars, people were dumbfounded.
After the Yellow Star, shouldn't it be green? Why is it blue?
Though blue follows indigo.
But how could one at the Demon Saint realm absorb the indigo soul of a Venerable Tier Demon Beast?
Wouldn't this absorption lead to a backlash from the indigo Demon Soul?
For a moment, everyone's minds were chaotic, staring dumbfoundedly at the Gray Wolf on the arena.
At this moment, the toad beneath the wolf slowly became illusory, then transformed back into the unconscious Lai Yisheng.
The huge Gray Wolf stepped back, released Lai Yisheng, and then shimmered back into Wang Yan.
Standing on the arena, looking at the unconscious Lai Yisheng, Wang Yan said calmly, "For helping me understand, I spare your life. Lai brothers, take him away."
He glanced at the Lai Brothers below the arena as he spoke.
Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, the Lai Brothers shuddered, scared but unable to defy Wang Yan's order, they nervously climbed the arena and carried Lai Yisheng down.
Only then did the crowd awaken from their daze, and a cheer erupted from Mozi Academy.
"Grand Marshal!"
"Grand Marshal!"
...
By this time, all disciples of Mozi Academy revered Wang Yan wholeheartedly.
Whether veteran disciples or newcomers, all regarded Wang Yan as an idol.
Though the new disciples previously looked down upon Wang Yan, in the face of strength, all doubts and scorn vanished without a trace.
Witnessing the beloved Wang Yan, Fang Hong regretted bitterly, thinking, "This kid isn't even human; not even a Half-Venerable could beat him. My Jin Chun, how can grandpa help you become the top prodigy?"
Thanks to the battle with Lai Yisheng, Wang Yan's prestige peaked at Mozi Academy.
No one dared challenge him afterward on the arena.
Wang Yan quietly spent three days on the arena.
During this time, Fang Jinchun wished to challenge Wang Yan, especially confident in the Fifth Level of his Lifebound Skill.
However, after some discussion with Wang Yan, Fang Jinchun immediately withdrew, publicly admitting defeat to Wang Yan.
This extinguished even Fang Hong's last hope.
Fang Hong wanted to know what Wang Yan and Fang Jinchun discussed, but Fang Jinchun kept shaking his head, refusing to tell him.
Finally, cornered by Fang Hong, Fang Jinchun only said, "Even the Fifth Level of the Lifebound Skill wouldn't harm Wang Yan."
This shocked Fang Hong but he couldn't believe it.
Since Fang Jinchun's Fifth Level Lifebound Skill targeted souls with "Soul Crushing", even injuring powerful Demon Venerables, let alone Wang Yan who hadn't reached that level.
But Fang Jinchun claimed it wouldn't harm Wang Yan, which seemed impossible.
No matter how much Fang Hong racked his brain, he couldn't understand how Wang Yan could go unharmed under "Soul Crushing."
Actually, Fang Hong knew the only possibility of surviving "Soul Crushing" involved possessing a Nascent Soul as a Demon God.
But such an idea seemed too far-fetched and defied belief, so Fang Hong dared not consider it.
Three days passed.
Wang Yan remained on the arena, calmly contemplating something, eyes slightly closed.
The crowd surrounding the arena understood; since defeating Lai Yisheng, no one would challenge Wang Yan again.
Watching Wang Yan reflect on the arena, the sixty-thousand people remained silent, observing him quietly, waiting for the three days to pass.
In this grand assembly, you could even hear a pin drop, creating a remarkably strange scene.
Yet their admiration for Wang Yan reached magical levels, allowing such silence among sixty-thousand people.
On the third day.
Fang Hong stood on the arena, dejectedly surveying the crowd below, weakly asking, "Are there any challengers left? Without any, then all the arenas will end."
The sixty-thousand people below excitedly watched Fang Hong, waiting for this moment: Wang Yan's victory announcement.
Seeing countless people's eyes shining with admiration for Wang Yan, Fang Hong sighed. This battle had crushed his dreams completely.
The title of top prodigy was relinquished by the Fang Family to Wang Yan.
The Fang Family's prestige would be replaced by Wang Yan.
Years hence, the Fang Family might forever live under Wang Yan's shadow.
In retrospect, it was all his self-inflicted misfortune.
Though he still hoped for a miracle; someone to challenge and defeat Wang Yan, Fang Hong knew it was merely wishful thinking.
Thus, Fang Hong lethargically announced, "I declare today's match..."
However, before Fang Hong finished, an ear-piercing laughter echoed from high above, "Seems I arrived just in time, I wish to challenge, how about it!"
Upon hearing a challenge, Fang Hong was pleasantly surprised and quickly looked toward the sound.
But upon seeing the figure, Fang Hong's face changed dramatically.
Not only Fang Hong, but also the other six Elders on the high stage turned pale.
