Chapter 821: Beast Attack

“Ha!” “Hah!” “Hey!”

On the vast training ground of White Deer Academy, three thousand disciples stood in a grand square formation, fully engrossed in practicing Dragon-Tiger Fist.

Such scenes are a common sight at White Deer Academy.

Rain or shine, it is a daily occurrence!

Dragon-Tiger Fist is a foundational body cultivation martial art created by Wang Chen, inspired by the Vajra Fist technique and enriched with his own martial insights.

This martial art comprises thirteen forms, which not only strengthen flesh and bones but also prove formidable in combat.

White Deer Academy is divided into a literary school and a martial school. New disciples first practice Dragon-Tiger Fist. Those who become martial artists within a month can advance to the martial school to learn more sophisticated techniques.

Those who fail this test must spend a year or two in the literary school, mastering a couple of practical skills for survival.

At this moment, eighty percent of the disciples practicing on the training ground had passed the test, with some exceptional apprentices even reaching the Meat Refinement Stage.

As they practiced, their eyes frequently turned to Wang Chen, who stood on the training platform.

Their gazes were filled with gratitude and admiration!

Simultaneously, strands of human benevolence flowed in from all directions, silently merging into Wang Chen’s body.

They condensed into glimmers of merit and blessings.

“Your path in the mortal world resembles the path of becoming a deity through incense offerings!”

Elder Yao expressed heartfelt admiration in Wang Chen’s mind.

For over a year, this Nascent Soul true immortal, who had undergone twelve reincarnations, had been quietly observing Wang Chen.

And Elder Yao, with a fragment of true spirit hidden within the Reincarnation Pearl, could most directly perceive the merit and blessings accumulated within Wang Chen.

At this point, he had to admit that Wang Chen had chosen the right path.

He had a great chance of stepping into the realm of the Supreme!

However, Elder Yao thought to himself that even if he were given another chance at reincarnation, he could not replicate this path.

Fortune and opportunities, neither can be missing!

In fact, Elder Yao had once attempted the path of becoming a deity through incense offerings in one of his lifetimes but almost fell into the demonic path.

“You need to be careful.”

The Nascent Soul true immortal kindly reminded, “The path of merit undoubtedly has tribulations—heavenly tribulations, human tribulations, and calamities, at least one of the three must occur. Do not be careless; otherwise, a little effort may not yield results, and there will be no chance of achieving enlightenment again!”

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

“Good.”

Elder Yao returned to silence.

During this time, he spoke less frequently, and the time spent communicating with Wang Chen grew shorter.

This also gave Wang Chen a sense of urgency.

He probably did not have much time left.

If he could not break through to the realm of the Supreme within one or two years, Wang Chen would have to consider forcefully attacking Qinyun Palace to seek the Mysterious Fox Order.

But this was the worst choice!

Beep—

Just as Wang Chen was pondering, a sharp whistle suddenly rang out from a distance.

He turned toward the sound and saw several bright fireworks rising in the distance!

They exploded high in the sky.

This was a warning signal indicating an enemy attack, and it was from White Deer Academy!

Wang Chen’s heart tightened. He immediately leaped high into the air, in an instant soaring from the training platform to the top of the outer academy’s high walls, then lightly tapped the bricks with his toes, and zoomed toward the direction of the signal like a great roc spreading its wings.

“All disciples return to your positions! Do not run around or make noise without orders!”

Only after Wang Chen’s figure completely disappeared did his voice clearly reach the ears of every disciple present: “Otherwise, there will be no mercy!”

The situation was urgent. Wang Chen fully unleashed his movement techniques, racing swiftly Like the Wind and Lightning, and soon caught sight of the academy’s guard team that had sent the alert.

After the establishment of White Deer Academy and Ci Shi Pharmacy, Wang Chen had recruited a group of strong martial artists to serve as guards and teaching mentors.

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

With Hu Jiao Jiao’s ability to discern human nature, along with generous salaries, and Wang Chen being a revered Immortal Master, he even managed to recruit two innate martial artists into his ranks.

Wang Chen also selected some of these martial artists to form a guard team that patrolled and remained vigilant day and night around the academy and the pharmacy.

This was to prevent unexpected events.

Over the past year, the development of White Deer Academy and Ci Shi Pharmacy had gone very smoothly, remaining calm and undisturbed.

But what needed to come had arrived!

“Lord!”

One guard, seeing Wang Chen, immediately dismounted, anxiously reporting, “Ahead, five miles away, countless fierce beasts have been spotted, swarming across the mountains!”

Wang Chen now found himself at the junction between Taiwu City and the misty area.

Since White Deer Academy and Ci Shi Pharmacy were not far from the misty area, Wang Chen had specifically arranged two scout teams to patrol the border to guard against fierce beast attacks.

This arrangement had proven to be correct.

At this moment, Wang Chen could feel the ground trembling and the distant roars of beasts echoing in his ears!

The momentum was not something ordinary beast hordes could create!

Wang Chen said in a deep voice, “You all immediately return to the academy and take defensive positions!”

“Yes!”

The guards replied in unison, swiftly riding back toward the academy.

The previous guard hesitated for a moment and did not leave immediately with his companions. Instead, he asked, “Immortal Master, should I go to Taiwu City to sound the alarm and seek reinforcements?”

Wang Chen thought for a moment, “That’s fine, you go notify them.”

“Take care, Immortal Master!”

The guard immediately headed towards Taiwu City.

Wang Chen remained in place.

Only a moment later, he saw groups of fierce beasts rushing out from the fog-covered area in the distance.

They were countless and densely packed!

“There are so many!”

In the next instant, a slender white figure appeared next to Wang Chen—it was Hu Jiao Jiao.

Looking at the approaching beast horde, she displayed no fear, but instead showed an excited expression: “Now the disciples in the academy won’t lack meat to eat!”

With nearly four thousand disciples in the martial arts and literary schools combined at White Deer Academy, the academy provided free lunches and dinners, leading to significant expenses.

Especially for the martial arts disciples, in order to refine their flesh and bones, they could not go without meat at every meal.

Of course, the most suitable meat for martial artists was beast meat!

The amount of meat consumed by the academy’s disciples each day was considerable.

Hu Jiao Jiao, besides helping Wang Chen discern people’s hearts, also managed the finances, so she was quite aware of these expenses.

As she saw so much meat voluntarily offered, she naturally felt particularly delighted.

And this delight was backed by confidence!

Without waiting for Wang Chen to respond, Hu Jiao Jiao opened her mouth and let out a loud cry that instantly spread in all directions.

The vanguard of the beast horde, a pack of large green wolves, lost their balance and fell to the ground upon hearing her call, as if struck by lightning.

Then they were trampled by the fierce beasts surging in from behind.

The entire scene instantly descended into chaos!
