Chapter 574 - Three as One: Primal Beast

Naturally, the sounds of battle attracted the attention of nearby students and lecturers. Many ran toward Xu Hai when they heard the commotion, but how many of them could withstand the thirteen World life forms’ power?

No one inside the barrier could send out distress signals. Many couldn’t even summon their units to fight in their stead. Just like that, they had lost at least half of their strength. They already stood no chance against World life forms, and without their units, they couldn’t even hope to wear them down. Even the senior lecturers found themselves at a loss.

Naturally, Xu Hai understood this clearly. To reduce needless deaths, he shouted, “Everyone, stay back! Find a way to escape the barrier!”

The Thirteen Guards only scoffed. The twelfth guard hailed from the Barrier Civilization. He was already a World life form, and unless someone could strike his barrier’s core or had strength several times greater than his own, escape was impossible. There was no other way of breaking the barrier. Earthsunder and Heavenrender life forms couldn’t even dream of breaking it.

The third guard shouted, “We are only here for him. Do not interfere, and we will spare you.”

The students and lecturers sighed in relief. Even though it was hard to see one of the lecturers getting abducted, it was much better than losing their lives.

“Those not involved, get lost!” the fourth guard shouted.

His voice rang out like a grand bell. Many first-year students collapsed, blood streaming from their noses. They weren’t even Demigods, and before World life forms, they were no more than ants.

Many others, focused on saving themselves, slowly retreated. Some even tried to persuade those who were hesitating. “The God King of Wisdom already told us to leave. Why are you still standing there?”

In reality, they wanted more people to make the same choice they had. That way, if the college ever decided to scrutinize the incident, punishment would be unlikely as long as there were enough of them.

Still, some didn’t retreat and instead braved the Thirteen Guards’ pressure.

Xu Hai could identify them with ease. Among them stood the vice chancellor he had worked with for many years, lecturers and rivals in his field, some new lecturers, and students. He recognized some of the students: Xiang Meng, Xia Tian, Ye Ling, Qin Shuang, Jing Jing, Sun Qingnian, and Bao Xiren.

“

Oh ho?

There’s still people who aren’t afraid of death and dare to step forward!” The seventh guard scoffed. In his eyes, they were all idiots for opposing thirteen World life forms. They were nothing but imbeciles.

Feng Shiren had once tried to withhold the Exquisite Skill Gem from Han Wu. He was also one of the college’s strongest, so he stepped forward and released his Heavenrender aura. “I am one of the vice chancellors of the Divine Civilization’s Imperial College, Feng Shiren. I don’t know why you are targeting Xu Hai, but I ask you to stop for the Imperial College’s sake. We can resolve this through diplomacy. There is no need to injure someone over a misunderstanding.”

Unfortunately, the Heavenrender power revered by all was meaningless before the Thirteen Guards. No one present could pose a threat to them. Within the Divine Civilization, only God Kings who carried a sliver of its Will could ever threaten them.

The youngest of the Thirteen Guards stepped forward. He raised his thumb up, then turned it downward. He even spat at Feng Shiren.

Feng Shiren knew that he had been insulted in front of everyone. How could he let that humiliation slide? If he failed to respond, then he might as well resign as vice chancellor and just retire.

He unleashed his strongest Skill, and his flaming palm turned into a burning sword tens of meters long. Intense heat surged outward, as if he was within a volcanic caldera.

The thirteenth guard stopped the attack with a single hand. Frost spread across his fingers as freezing air poured from his palm. In that instant, the burning sword froze solid, and Feng Shiren was turned into an ice sculpture as well.

The thirteenth guard hadn’t even used his Divine Ring. He relied solely on physical power.

“You are nothing, and yet you can be a vice chancellor?” With a scoff, he fired an icicle to shatter Feng Shiren to pieces.

Ye Ling reacted at once and pulled the frozen Feng Shiren to safety. Xia Tian and Xiang Meng stepped forward and unleashed their strongest transformations, one becoming a colossal ape, the other a towering mammoth. Their auras rivaled those of an Earthsunder life form. After securing Feng Shiren, Ye Ling transformed into a giant bird and took position beside them.

“You guys are brave, but you are nothing but ants in front of me.” He snorted and launched three icicles to kill them.

To his surprise, the trio suddenly merged into one, releasing a powerful aura. This was a Skill exclusive to them, forged through countless years of working together.

It was called Three as One: Primal Beast. A beast with a mammoth’s proboscis, bird wings, and ape arms appeared. A primal, savage aura poured from it. Behind the creature hovered an incomplete Divine Ring. They had turned into an incomplete World life form! This was their full strength.

The thirteenth guard no longer looked down on them. Caution replaced his disdain. Even though they were an incomplete World life form, he still needed to treat them carefully.

He was about to activate his Divine Ring when the ninth guard stepped forward and placed his fat hands on him. The ninth guard studied the Primal Beast with curiosity, clearly intrigued by how their Skill worked.

“Leave this to me,” he said. “Hey, this place is too small. Why don’t we play outside?”

The Primal Beast leapt out of the building. The ninth guard pulled his pants up, expanded once more, and chased after it.

“Never thought the lazy Ninth Brother would find something that caught his interest,” the seventh guard remarked. He scanned the crowd and noticed several beautiful women. “You, you, and you. How about having a 4P with me?”

His crude words infuriated Qin Shuang, Jing Jing, and Shi Shan.

“Don’t stop me! I will beat him myself!” Surprisingly, the first to react wasn’t any of them but iSun Qingnian. The reason was simple. Shi Shan, the infamous Blazing Warrior God, was his girlfriend. How could he allow someone to insult his girlfriend like that?

Shi Shan sighed and kicked him aside. “Go to the side and assist us.”

“Alright, darling!” Sun Qingnian hurried behind the three women, ready to assist them with his powers.
