39: Take action!
Lu Yu scanned his surroundings; the other nine Tier C Ferocious Beasts didn't dare to breathe, their eyes filled with apprehension as they looked at Lu Yu.
Someone who could send a Tier C Weasel flying with a single move, and before that, had hidden his true strength from all the Tier C Ferocious Beasts, making them unable to sense it—just these two points alone surpassed all the beasts present.
Little White Fox looked at Lu Yu, who had intimidated everyone the moment he appeared, her eyes filled with excitement, and the four Tier D subordinates beside her now had more confidence in Lu Yu.
"I'll ask you one more time, what did you just call me?"
Lu Yu looked at the Weasel and spoke indifferently, his sharp eyes piercing into the Weasel's beast form like blades.
Although it knew Lu Yu was also a Tier C Ferocious Beast, the Weasel was intimidated by Lu Yu's powerful aura and dared not face him directly.
Just then, the Firebird, closest to the Spirit Pool, turned its head and saw the spirit liquid already half-depleted, immediately exclaiming, "How is there so little spirit liquid left?"
The silence in the arena was broken. Except for the Weasel, which Lu Yu was staring at, the other beasts were drawn to the Firebird and turned to look at the Spirit Pool. Seeing that only half of the spirit liquid remained, they all grew somewhat angry.
Hadn't they rushed here after their promotion precisely for this Heaven and Earth Wonder, the Spirit Pool?
Now only half was left; who could tolerate that?
The Firebird couldn't help but ask, "Did you use the spirit liquid in this Spirit Pool?"
Lu Yu turned to look at the Firebird: "I used it. What are you going to do about it?"
Seeing Lu Yu's arrogance, the Firebird angrily said, "The spirit liquid in this Spirit Pool is incredibly precious! How could you waste so much? You deserve to die!"
In the Firebird's opinion, it was impossible for Lu Yu to have truly absorbed so much spirit liquid in such a short time. He must be some mongrel beast without a bloodline inheritance, who somehow got lucky and evolved to Tier C. Faced with precious spirit liquid, he didn't know the correct way to use it and must have messed around, wasting this great treasure.
Otherwise, how could so much spirit liquid have been consumed in such a short time?
"It's my own stuff; I'll use as much as I want. What does it have to do with you?" Lu Yu scoffed disdainfully.
"Presumptuous! Heaven and Earth treasures belong to everyone; how can you claim it as your own?"
Hearing the Firebird's words, the Weasel, whose spirits had somewhat recovered, also began to fan the flames: "So what if you're strong? There are ten of us! Do you and that Little White Fox beside you, plus those four wastes, really think you can be our opponents? If you know what's good for you, hand over the Spirit Pool and get lost!"
Hearing the Weasel's words, the beasts who had been wary of Lu Yu's strength and somewhat conflicted suddenly had their eyes light up.
That's right, so what if Lu Yu was powerful? There were ten Tier C Ferocious Beasts present, while Lu Yu's side only had himself and that fox, at most adding four Tier D wastes.
Even if Lu Yu was good at fighting, could he fight ten of them?
They were all Tier C Ferocious Beasts; they didn't believe Lu Yu could be powerful to an extent that defied the heavens!
"Exactly! Hand over the Spirit Pool!"
"Get out now, and we won't hold you accountable for wasting so much spirit liquid!"
"If you still don't know what's good for you, I'll pluck your bird feathers and roast you!"
As if speaking together gave them strength, several beasts began to clamor, simultaneously releasing their auras. The auras of ten Tier C Ferocious Beasts converged into one, pressing down on Lu Yu.
Seeing this, Little White Fox immediately stepped forward, wanting to help Lu Yu resist the pressure of these auras.
However, the combined aura pressure from ten beasts of the same rank was no small matter!
Even if Little White Fox had extraordinary talent and the potential of an SS-tier Demon Emperor, it was useless, as she only possessed Tier C strength currently.
The overwhelming aura pressure caused Little White Fox's originally rosy little face to turn pale. Although she gritted her teeth and resisted, it was still futile, and she was continuously pushed back by the powerful aura.
"Alright, step back for now. I'll handle these wastes."
Just as Little White Fox was about to collapse, Lu Yu's gentle voice sounded. At the same time, one of Lu Yu's wings spread open, blocking in front of Little White Fox and resisting the overwhelming aura for her.
"How is that possible?"
Seeing that the combined aura pressure of their ten Tier C Ferocious Beasts was easily blocked by Lu Yu, and Lu Yu seemed completely unaffected, the beasts' eyes widened in shock.
"Since you're seeking death, don't blame me!"
After settling Little White Fox, Lu Yu snorted coldly.
The next instant, skills activated!
Chidori!
Instantly, Lu Yu's figure flickered, and ten clones appeared directly, each faintly emitting a Tier C aura!
This scene utterly stunned the beasts.
What kind of technique was this?
Logically speaking, after Lu Yu's Chidori skill was activated, it could split into at most ten clones, and each clone's strength would at most be 50% of the main body's strength.
But Lu Yu at this moment was far more powerful than imagined!
Even with only half strength, it was still a Tier C initial-level existence!
"Attack! I don't believe all these figures are real!"
The Firebird was the most astute and immediately spoke, then a flash of firelight appeared on her, and she also split into two clones. Three Firebirds simultaneously attacked one of Lu Yu's clones.
The other beasts, hearing the Firebird's words, quickly realized.
Each of them thought Lu Yu was just bluffing, and among these ten clones, probably only one or two were real.
There couldn't be a skill so abnormal that a Tier C Ferocious Beast could split into ten clones of the same Tier C strength.
The ten beasts each found a clone and launched an attack.
In an instant, powerful skills were unleashed, a dazzling display of colorful lights.
Lu Yu, in the very center, saw this and couldn't help but sneer.
These beasts knew nothing of his true power!
Skills activated again!
Shadow Strike!
Instantly, each of the ten clones split into three figures, and on the field, a total of forty Lu Yu clones appeared!
This scene completely stunned the beasts.
Originally, each beast had found one clone, a perfect ten-on-ten, but now Lu Yu had directly become forty. What should they do?
Just as they hesitated, unsure which clone to attack, Lu Yu activated another skill:
Ice Thorn!
Each clone unleashed several Ice Thorns, attacking in a fan shape in front of them.
In an instant, it was as if the world had transformed into a frozen landscape, filled with endless Ice Thorns!
