Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy

The color drained from Phoenix's face at once, yet her feet felt like they were filled with lead, unable to take a single step. She could only clench her jade fists tightly, her face full of worry as she looked at Su Chen.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't slapped Nalan Kang's hand away, how could Su Chen have suddenly changed like this!"

In her self-reproach, Su Chen's ten fingers transformed into mighty fists, carrying dark ripples of power as they smashed down on General Neil's earth shield. Waves of terrifying aftershocks, with Neil as the center, radiated in all directions, causing cracks to open upon the ground paved with adamantine rock!

With one step forward, there was a muffled thud as Su Chen, like a madman, could only think of pummeling Neil with one punch after another!

"Enough is enough!"

A thunderous roar erupted, and Neil, hastily retreating, raised his palms high as hundreds of earthen yellow flames shot out from him like fireworks!

The flames wove around and bound Su Chen's head and limbs like a swarm of snakes, forcibly suppressing his fierce onslaught. Then Neil's eyes flashed with a vicious light, and the helmet atop his head shattered with a bang!

"Conqueror's Overwhelm!"

With a furious shout, his right fist burst forth with a spiral of earthen energy, and his entire body shot rapidly like a missile towards the immobilized Su Chen!

That punch, thick with the scent of earth, made everyone feel unable to breathe! If struck by it, there would likely be no escape from death!

"Su Chen!"

Phoenix could no longer bear the fear, tears spilling from her eyes.

This cry pierced through to the demonized Su Chen, jolting him awake. But as clarity returned to his eyes, he was horrified to find Neil, lunging like a tiger, swinging a mountain-shattering punch directly at him!

On Neil's fierce face was a look of unavoidable anger towards Su Chen!

What on earth happened to me?

Even now, Su Chen didn't know what was going on. He could only watch wide-eyed as the rapidly approaching giant fist, with its all-encompassing, dense earthen energy, threatened to completely engulf him...

"Frozen Star!"

At this life-and-death moment, a supremely authoritative voice suddenly sounded from outside the crowd!

Then, as if the heavens had frozen over, a cold wind swept through, bringing with it the chill of winter! The "Conqueror's Overwhelm" that was about to crush Su Chen was abruptly wedged in place by several chunks of deep blue ice that sprung from the ground!

No matter how Neil struggled, he couldn't budge an inch. Those deep blue, crystalline, nine-sided ice blocks shone like the blazing sun, illuminating everyone's eyes!

Following the source of the voice, everyone saw a golden-haired man in a blue robe standing calmly at the entrance of the Spirit Palace! By his side stood Parkinson, wearing a mysteriously amused smile!

"It's Lord Parkinson!"

"You idiot, who wouldn't know it's Lord Parkinson? But who is that blond guy? Was it really him who released that Frozen Star just now?"

"Of course! But this guy is incredible, he can release skills even from such a distance, and blocked General Neil's strongest attack!"

The crowd buzzed with excitement, like a boiling pot, the lively scene attracting even more travelers visiting Muni City.

In contrast, Nalan Qing and his party looked both excited and helpless, filled with conflicting emotions. From that one move just now, it was clear the blond man was undoubtedly the newly emerged Beast King powerhouse. But why was he helping that unrelated eastern brat? Nalan Qing was very frustrated. He came here to recruit talent, never expecting to encounter Su Chen and have his original plan completely disrupted.

Parkinson walked along the path naturally parted by the crowd towards Su Chen and Phoenix, the blond man following him with a rather respectful demeanor. This sparked even more fabulous speculation and discussion among those present.

Almost arriving at Su Chen's side at the same time, Nalan Qing quickly called out before Parkinson could say anything: "Lord Parkinson, long time no see~" Parkinson glanced at Nalan Qing and then at the members of the Nalan Clan behind him, nodding slightly, "Nalan Clan Leader, what brings you to visit the Spirit Palace today?"

"Well, Lord Parkinson, I'll get straight to the point. I've just heard that there's a new Beast King powerhouse at the Spirit Palace; is it the gentleman beside you?"

Nalan Qing asked with a slightly fawning smile.

Though the Nalan Clan wielded tremendous power in terms of wealth and influence, when facing a Beast Cultivator powerhouse, they had to bow and scrape, putting on a smiling face. And this Parkinson was an extremely deep-rooted senior Spirit Master, having identified countless powerhouses under him, and had forged numerous connections that were simply intimidating. People often say that finding a Beast Soul Powerhouse ensures a lifetime of comfort for a clan, but anyone with any sense would choose to spend most of their efforts currying favor with Parkinson. Moreover, Parkinson is not only a senior Spirit Master, the highest executor of the Spirit Palace, but also a super powerhouse at the level of Beast Soul with light attributes!

Because of his long tenure as a Spirit Master and being surrounded by strong individuals, his terrifying prowess had no outlet. Due to his multiple identities, even the Divine Concealment Hall, which housed over a hundred peerless powerhouses, had attempted to recruit him several times, eventually making him a substitute elder within the hall. Although he didn't interfere with any of the Divine Concealment Hall's affairs, no one dared to underestimate his status.

After glancing at Nalan Qing's face, which countless city dwellers loathed, Parkinson merely smiled faintly, his aged face showing little expression, "Your guess is correct, the newly emerged Beast King is indeed Dog."
