Chapter 821: Chapter 821: Beast Attack

“He!” “Ha!” “Hey!”

On the great practice field of White Deer Academy, three thousand disciples formed a huge square formation, focusing intently on practicing Dragon Tiger Fist.

Such a sight was most common within White Deer Academy.

Come rain or shine, it could be seen every day!

Dragon Tiger Fist was a foundational body refinement martial technique created by Wang Chen, drawing on the Vajra Fist technique and integrating his own mastery of martial arts.

This technique was comprised of thirteen forms, which could not only temper flesh, tendons, and bones but were also extremely formidable in actual combat.

White Deer Academy was divided into the Literary Institute and the Martial Institute. New disciples first learned Dragon Tiger Fist, and if they could become martial artists within a month, they would be allowed to enter the Martial Institute to study more advanced cultivation techniques.

Those who could not pass this trial would have no choice but to spend a year and a half at the Literary Institute, mastering one or two skills for earning a living.

At this moment, on the great practice field, eighty percent of the disciples practicing the fist technique had passed the test, and some exceptional apprentices had even stepped into the Flesh Refinement Realm.

As they practiced, their eyes remained fixed on Wang Chen standing on the practice stage.

Their gazes were filled with gratitude and admiration!

At the same time, strands of Qi of Humanity came from all directions, silently merging into Wang Chen’s body.

Coalescing into specks of spiritual light of virtue and merit.

“Your path of engagement with the world is almost akin to the way of gaining divinity through worship!” exclaimed Elder Yao in Wang Chen’s mind.

Over the past year, this Nascent Soul True Immortal, who had reincarnated twelve times, had been quietly observing Wang Chen.

Elder Yao, whose True Spirit resided in the Reincarnation Pearl, could most directly perceive the spiritual light of virtue and merit gathering around Wang Chen.

Now, he had to admit that Wang Chen had chosen the right path.

He had great hope of stepping into the Great Supreme Realm!

But to himself, Elder Yao thought that even if given another chance at reincarnation, he would not be able to replicate this path.

Opportunity and fate were indispensable!

In fact, Elder Yao had once tried the path of becoming divine through worship in one of his lifetimes and nearly fell into demonic ways.

“You must be careful,” the Nascent Soul True Immortal kindly warned. “The path of virtue must encounter tribulations, be they Heaven Tribulation, Man Tribulation, or Calamity Tribulation. One of the three is bound to happen. You must not be careless or negligent, for if your efforts fall short, there will no longer be a chance to achieve the Dao!”

Wang Chen nodded. “Thank you for the reminder, Elder. I will be cautious.”

“Good.”

Elder Yao returned to silence.

Recently, he had been speaking less frequently, and the time spent communicating with Wang Chen had also been getting shorter.

This imparted a sense of urgency to Wang Chen.

There probably wasn’t much time left for him.

If he could not break through to the Great Supreme Realm within a year or two, Wang Chen would have to consider storming Green Cloud Palace to search for the Mysterious Fox Order.

But this was the worst-case scenario!

Beep~

Just as Wang Chen was deep in thought, suddenly, a sharp whistle blew from afar.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw several bright flares rising in the distance…

Exploding one by one in the sky.

This was the emergency signal indicating an enemy attack, and it was from White Deer Academy!

Wang Chen’s heart tightened instantly as he leaped up high, swiftly moving from the practice stage to the outer wall of the courtyard. With a light tap of his toes on the bricks, he soared like a great roc towards the direction of the signal.

“All disciples to your posts. Without orders, none are to run around or cause a commotion!”

Only after Wang Chen’s figure had completely vanished did his voice clearly reach the ears of every disciple present: “Otherwise, you will be executed without mercy!”

The situation was urgent, Wang Chen executed his movement technique to its full extent, racing like the wind and lightning, and soon he came upon the academy guards who had sent the signal.

After the establishment of White Deer Academy and Mercy World Medicine Manor, Wang Chen recruited a group of martial artists with decent strength to serve as guards and instructional tutors.

Some of these martial artists came from the Mo Family, but many more were personally selected by him.

With Hu Jiaojiao’s keen insight into human hearts, coupled with the promise of generous salary, and the fact that Wang Chen himself was a revered Immortal Master, he even managed to recruit two Innate Martial Artists into his ranks.

Wang Chen then selected some of these martial artists to form a Guard Squad, which patrolled day and night around the academy and medicine manor.

To prevent the unexpected.

Over the past year, the development of White Deer Academy and Mercy World Medicine Manor had been smooth sailing, peaceful and unscathed.

But the inevitable finally arrived!

“Headmaster!”

One of the guards, upon seeing Wang Chen, immediately dismounted and reported anxiously, “Ahead, ahead, five miles out, we discovered countless fierce beasts, swarming over the hills, too many to count!”

The area where Wang Chen was now was on the border between Taiwu City and the Misty Area.

Since White Deer Academy and Mercy World Medicine Manor were not far from the Misty Area, to guard against the attacks of fierce beasts, Wang Chen had specially arranged for two scout teams to patrol the border.

It turned out that such an arrangement was the right decision.

At this very moment, Wang Chen could already feel the trembling of the earth, as well as the faint sound of beastly roars echoing in his ears!

These roars could not be produced by just an ordinary herd of beasts!

Wang Chen said solemnly, “You all must immediately retreat to the academy for defense!”

“Yes!”

The guards responded in unison, and each set off on their horses towards the academy.

The guard that reported earlier hesitated for a moment and did not immediately follow his companions to leave. Instead, he asked, “Immortal Master, should I go to Taiwu City to send a warning and seek reinforcements for help?”

Wang Chen thought for a moment and said, “That works, go ahead and notify them.”

“Immortal Master, take care!”

The guard immediately ran towards Taiwu City.

Wang Chen stayed in place.

Just a short while later, he saw one fierce beast after another, charging out from the far-off area shrouded in mist.

A countless, dense mass!

“So many!”

The next moment, a graceful white figure suddenly appeared beside Wang Chen, and it was none other than Hu Jiaojiao herself.

As she watched the approaching herd of beasts, not only was she not the slightest bit afraid, she actually showed excitement, “Now the disciples at the academy won’t be lacking meat!”

The total number of disciples in the Martial Institute and Literary Institute within White Deer Academy was nearing four thousand, and because the academy provided free lunch and dinner, the expenses were quite significant.

Especially the disciples of the Martial Institute, who needed meat for every meal to strengthen their flesh, tendons, and bones.

And of course, the most suitable meat for martial artists was that of fierce beasts!

The amount of meat consumed by the academy’s disciples was a considerable figure every day.

Aside from helping Wang Chen discern people’s hearts, Hu Jiaojiao also oversaw the accounting and finances, making her well aware of these expenses.

Seeing herself in the role of a housekeeper, coupled with the sight of so much meat willingly coming to their doorstep, she was naturally overjoyed.

And this joy was backed by confidence!

Without waiting for Wang Chen to reply, Hu Jiaojiao opened her mouth and issued a resounding cry that instantly spread in all directions.

The vanguard of the beasts that had surged out of the Misty Area were large green wolves. Upon hearing Hu Jiaojiao’s cry, they were struck as if by lightning, losing their balance and toppling to the ground in an instant.

They were then hit and trampled by the fierce beasts that swarmed after them.

The entire scene immediately descended into chaos!
