CHAPTER 177: CHAPTER 173: ANCIENT CURSE SCRIPT, FLESH AND BLOOD GATE!

BOOM!

The serpent was hundreds of meters long and crashed onto the academy’s field, sending up a thick cloud of dust and smoke.

Countless students who had witnessed this fled in all directions; some unfortunate ones were swept off their feet by the shockwave and sustained minor injuries.

Instantly, centered around this Bizarre Snake, the entire field became like a spider’s web. Enormous cracks spread everywhere, with gusts of wind rolling and obscuring vision.

"What kind of Pet Beast is this? It’s so damn weird-looking!"

"What a disgusting snake! The Master must be an Evil God Cultist!"

"This oppressive aura... It’s at least a Commander-rank that’s mastered a Domain!"

"Damn, it’s still alive! Its arms are moving! Get away!"

"..."

The crowd fell silent for a moment before a cacophony erupted, louder than ever.

"Food... Hungry..."

The Bizarre Snake’s head shuddered, and greedy faces sprouted from it. Numerous tentacles flung out, capturing students as food.

With each breath, it radiated pollution. Countless severed limbs emerged from the ground. Fear spread like a plague, rendering people unable to muster the will to resist. Dazed, they watched as tentacles entangled them, pulling them toward gaping, fang-filled maws.

"This... this..." Zhang Feng’s pupils contracted sharply. He was closest to the Bizarre Snake and naturally became the target of three hefty tentacles.

Even as one of the top ten third-year students, he couldn’t resist such a terrifying foe!

"Hm?" A young girl in a long white dress, holding a book, her silky hair flowing, tilted her head. Her clear, profound eyes, shimmering with a hint of pink light, gazed at a blazing point of light above. The scorching radiance illuminated her pure, exquisite, and flawless face, like sunlight on fresh snow—indescribably beautiful.

In the sky, a second sun had appeared!

A resplendent sun poured fiery flames, the shadows of six dragons dancing within it...

It’s him, my senior. Chen Xi pursed her pink lips, gently biting them. Her beautiful eyes, sparkling with delight and a hint of playfulness, seemed to fill with tiny hearts as she boldly approached the Bizarre Snake.

The severed limbs on the ground and the hunting tentacles seemed to ignore her... Or perhaps, sensing an entity even more bizarre than the Bizarre Snake itself, they recoiled from her as if from a viper.

BOOM—

In the void, a streak of flame seemed to ignite the clouds, weaving a boundless canopy of fire. A great sun plummeted, smashing onto the Bizarre Snake.

The terrifying strike slammed the Bizarre Snake into the ground. Blood and bone fragments erupted, followed by violent tremors that spread out as a shockwave, triggering a massive earthquake.

"What?!" Zhang Feng, saved by a hair’s breadth, and numerous students were sent flying by the seismic wave, their expressions turning from dread to astonishment.

"Is that... the King’s Cub?! The King Pet Beast that unleashed six flying dragons in the mining area!"

"So, does that mean the Master is the Six-Tailed Flame Emperor, Senior Chu Yi?!"

"Oh my god, what the heck happened? I was out cold! Can someone fill me in... Whoa, the Six-Tailed Flame Emperor!"

"..."

Meanwhile, a group of officers and teachers who had just arrived witnessed the scene, all displaying expressions of disbelief.

The Bizarre Snake, which had brought despair to everyone, was suppressed with a single blow.

Although it was unclear what had transpired, a little speculation led to the conclusion that this Bizarre Snake had been targeting Chu Yi for an attack!

"Flames engulfing the sky, causing large-scale meteorological changes... That’s a King Pet Beast, no doubt about it!"

"This young man’s future is limitless! He’s only eighteen, just recently come of age, yet his combat power is already approaching the Dawn Star level!"

"The King’s pressure is too strong; I can barely stand! He’s simply a Demon..."

A tremor of shock went through the crowd.

What was terrifying wasn’t the Bizarre Snake, but this Chu Yi—the recently risen Beast-Controlling Demon.

Watching it on video and witnessing it firsthand were two completely different experiences.

In reality, merely the aftershocks of his power brought them a despairing sense of oppression.

"Hahaha..." The one laughing most heartily was the old Dean, who had rushed over. He was cackling like a goose.

Standing aside, however, was a stern-faced middle-aged man, his eyes fixed intently on the six-tailed fox engulfed in flames.

"See? I told you he was extraordinary," the old Dean boasted. As the head of Star Dragon Academy, he had known someone was attempting to assassinate Chu Yi. However, this middle-aged man had intervened, deliberately arranging this battle to test Chu Yi.

From start to finish, the Bone Snake wielder had been under their surveillance, reduced to a mere pawn.

Evidently, Chu Yi’s performance had exceeded both their expectations; he had charged forward recklessly.

"Indeed." A trace of admiration flickered in the middle-aged man’s eyes, further confirming his suspicion that Chu Yi had activated a rare Beast Taming Talent.

It’s a secret among Beast-Controlling Demon circles that Super Talent, after passing a critical point, has a chance to awaken an innate ability, dramatically increasing combat power.

"You forced my hand!" the Bizarre Snake wailed unwillingly. Its Master had long since merged into its flesh, truly becoming one with it.

So what if it’s a King’s Cub? Its Master is merely Silver-rank! Die, die, die!

It howled to the heavens, suddenly erupting with Commander-level pressure and radiating the Power of the Abyss. It prepared to forcefully suppress this insignificant ant before it and corrupt its opponent.

The mouths sprouting from its body spewed obscure symbols—chilling whispers of an Evil God—that rapidly spread, causing the middle-aged man’s expression to change slightly.

"Ancient Curse Script?" The middle-aged man was surprised. This is a curse from the Dark Ages. Nowadays, curse-type Pet Beasts are considered treasures. Mastering even one such script could lead to a major catastrophe.

DONG!

A massive door, seemingly constructed from skulls and covered in thick, long hair, materialized above the Bizarre Snake’s head. As the door creaked open, a torrent of high-dimensional pollution flowed into the Bizarre Snake, causing its eerie aura to surge wildly.

Hundreds of eyes simultaneously opened all over its flesh, and venomous human faces appeared on its scales.

The very ground seemed to transform into a rotting swamp from which foul, reddish-black blood oozed, and putrid, severed limbs crawled forth.

CRUNCH, CRUNCH...

The sickening sound of chewing, as if teeth were grinding against bone, echoed unceasingly. The environment around the Bizarre Snake transformed into a decaying, blood-soaked ecosystem, saturated with an extremely concentrated curse.

The assessment is over. I must kill it quickly!

The middle-aged man was about to unleash his Power of the Morning Star when he saw the youth in the Profound Robe casually lift his hand.

What’s he going to do?

It wasn’t just him; the students, officers, and teachers all watched from a distance.

"Have you had enough fun? Truly boring. Just go and die," Chu Yi sighed.

What did it think it was doing? This is merely a trace of the God of Flesh and Blood’s mimicry power, isn’t it? Or rather, this so-called curse script is just an imitation of the God of Flesh and Blood. Trash. It can’t even match one-tenth of my own mimicry, yet it thought it could pull off something amusing. I clearly overestimated it.

This dismissive attitude, completely disregarding his opponent, left everyone dumbfounded.
