My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

"Thud!"

Wang Teng fell to the ground on his butt, his face still frozen with an expression of disbelief.

In that moment, it was as if he saw his great-grandmother waving at him.

"This... this is impossible..."

He mumbled to himself, lips trembling, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

His guardian beast had Epic Talent at Monarch Peak, and its level was Extraordinary Tier One!

How could this be?!

How could it be defeated so effortlessly?!

No one paid attention to the collapsing Wang Teng. The remaining freshmen looked at Gu Xing with eyes full of gravity.

Wang Teng was ranked among the top twenty of the freshmen, but just now...

He was utterly defeated without any resistance!

This meant that even if they went up, their fate would be no different from Wang Teng's.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, with no one daring to step forward.

Meanwhile, a few Extraordinary Tier Five seniors watching the scene with crossed arms exchanged glances.

With their strong powers, they saw more of Gu Xing's background.

The power displayed by that angel just now was entirely on par with Extraordinary Tier Five, even faintly surpassing it.

The corners of several people's mouths twitched slightly.

Extraordinary Tier One yet possessing Extraordinary Tier Five strength.

No wonder this freshman had dared to propose entering the Beast Taming Holy Pool to the principal.

However.

This freshman hadn't just challenged the newcomers, but also them, the seniors.

If they didn't let this newcomer suffer a bit, how could they establish their authority as seniors?

Soon, after exchanging glances, they reached a consensus.

That was, they must not let Gu Xing pass this assessment.

Outside the barrier.

Long Zhenguo had already anticipated Gu Xing's strength.

And he knew...

That angel's talent was at Myth Level.

If it couldn't crush an Epic Level guardian beast, that would indeed be strange.

However.

His gaze focused on Gu Xing's eyes.

This talent...

Such a record had never been chronicled in the history of Longxia Country!

Moreover...

When his gaze settled on those silvery-white eyes, he faintly felt a threat.

One must know, he stood at the pinnacle of the Human Race.

The Monarch Peak was the limit for humans!

Yet even so, he could feel a hint of threat; how terrifying must Gu Xing's talent be?

At this moment.

After some initial hesitation.

The freshmen reached a consensus.

"He's just one person, and we have over a thousand. Could his single guardian beast defeat us all?"

"Exactly, if we all attack together, his guardian beast, even if it had three heads and six arms, couldn't withstand it!"

"Everyone, don't hesitate. Listen to my command and attack together!"

"For the guardian beasts with long-range attacks, strike together in three seconds, while those with melee attacks will charge after the long-range onslaught ends."

Seeing someone quickly step out from the crowd to take command.

Gu Xing couldn't help but marvel:

Truly a genius worthy of entering the National Academy.

Though initially stunned by his strength, they quickly regrouped and organized an offensive.

However.

The number of people, which might work against average guardian beasts,

Was utterly ineffective against Liu Li, who currently had two layers of shielding...

It was useless!

The attacks from the long-range guardian beasts fell upon Liu Li's Flame Shield without stirring the slightest ripple.

They couldn't even break through the first layer of the shield!

But Gu Xing was quite troubled now.

Because with Liu Li's current attributes, if she got a bit serious.

Those Extraordinary Level guardian beasts would either die or be severely injured.

Not to mention, many of the guardian beasts were still at Awakening Level.

Not to mention taking a direct hit from Liu Li, even a slight graze would result in heavy injuries.

And after all, this wasn't a battlefield, merely an assessment.

If his actions led to severe injuries or deaths among the guardian beasts...

Liu Li, too, was in a dilemma at this moment.

Though she could easily dispatch these guardian beasts.

Achieving just knocking them out without killing was another story...

There were over a thousand guardian beasts here!

Each requiring such precise control of her strength, the difficulty was exceedingly high!

Yet Liu Li's lack of counterattack seemed to give this group hope.

"Don't give up, everyone. Let the melee guardian beasts attack once more. That guardian beast doesn't dare to fight back; surely it's because her defense skills have a significant flaw!"

In an instant, various energy attacks rained down on the Blazing Angel in the air like a storm.

Watching this scene, Qin Tian stomped his foot anxiously.

"Sister Bing, what's Brother Xing waiting for?!"

"Just taking the hits without fighting back, how can he win?!"

Even Ying Bing's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She didn't understand why Gu Xing wasn't counterattacking either.

Logically speaking, with Gu Xing's power, this group of guardian beasts should be easy to wipe out with a wave of his hand!

Wait a minute!

Ying Bing suddenly understood why!

Gu Xing was dismissing this group of classmates as too weak, worried they couldn't withstand his attacks.

The seniors also began to sense something was amiss!

"What's with this kid? Why isn't he fighting back against those freshmen? Looks like he's defending quite effortlessly! His attack power shouldn't be weak, right?!"

"Weak? Don't you know the Angel Race is purely offensive guardian beasts?"

"But this group of freshmen's attacks can't even break the defense; I feel like they're unreliable!"

"This can't go on, let's join in! We can't let this kid keep pretending anymore!"

Soon, all the seniors joined the battle.

Only those few Extraordinary Tier Five Beast Masters remained outside the field.

"What do we do?"

An Extraordinary Tier Five Beast Master with a crew cut had a fiery look in his eyes, turning to ask his companion.

"Let's go together! That angel withstood so many skills alone without budging! It's clear we haven't pushed that angel to her limits! Let's go and fan the flames!"

"Alright, I've been itching to try my hand at this for a while. Let's see just how strong this newcomer really is!"

As these Extraordinary Tier Five Beast Masters joined the fray, a faint tremor appeared in the Blazing Angel Flame surrounding Liu Li.

Even with her current attributes, enduring the continuous attacks from thousands of Beast Masters was gradually becoming strenuous.

"It's working!"

Seeing their attacks taking effect, the students' eyes flashed with excitement.

"As long as we break the angel's outer flame shield, we can win! Everyone, give it all you've got!"

The attacks soared once more.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound of breaking, the shield constructed by the Blazing Angel Flame finally shattered into pieces.

The students erupted into cheers, but before the sound could fully spread, it was abruptly choked back in their throats—

A dazzling azure barrier, even more brilliant than the Flame Shield, stood erectly behind the shattered shield!

"This... how is this possible?!"

"Must be joking! Why is there another shield?"

The faces of the students were filled with despair.

Breaking the first shield had already drained all their strength.

And now...

There was an even stronger shield waiting for them!

Gu Xing, at this moment, finally made up his mind.

He trusted that with Long Zhenguo around, there was no way he'd let these students get hurt.

"Liu Li!" He raised his right hand, his voice resonating throughout the arena, "Celestial Fire Domain!"
