212: Chapter 212 I'm a rather greedy person

Buzz!

The horns of the Heaven Dou Empire sounded.

Under the command of Marshal Ge Long, the army began to retreat.

The Ice Empress chased after the Heaven Dou army; not a single human along the path survived. With every attack from the Ice Empress, thousands perished.

Marshal Ge Long commanded the vanguard to defend and cover the army's withdrawal.

The Strength Clan, Elephant Armored Academy, Divine Wind Academy, the Elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School joined forces to stop the Ice Empress.

The Ice Empress charged into the crowd, and the sounds of various Soul Powers colliding instantly rang out.

Miserable screams and the booming sounds of explosions were continuous.

“Medusa's Gaze!”

Dugu Bo rushed over and used his Spirit Bone skill against the Ice Empress.

“Eighth Spirit Skill!”

Tai Tan followed suit, using his strongest method to strike at the Ice Empress.

The others also frantically blasted their Soul Power at the Ice Empress.

The energy storm in the entire area swept across the surroundings like a gale.

The earth was torn apart, and the energy produced by the explosions was as dazzling as a miniature sun, making it impossible to keep one's eyes open.

When the dust finally settled, only scorched earth and various skeletal remains were left in the vicinity.

Only a few survivors chased after the Heaven Dou army.

The one running the fastest was Dugu Bo.

The Ice Empress burst out from the ruins, hovering in mid-air. Looking at the group of fleeing humans, she issued a final warning: “Return the Ten Thousand Year Ice Pith to us, or the Extreme North will never let this rest...”

Three days later, the news of Wind Snow City being overrun by Spirit Beasts began to spread like a plague.

The Heaven Dou Empire's million-strong army failed to stop the beast tide and even suffered heavy losses, plunging the populace into panic.

At the same time, Spirit Hall announced to the world that a beast tide had broken out in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Elders from Spirit Hall had already headed to the Star Dou Great Forest to stop it.

This caused both the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires to panic. Beast tides breaking out in two major regions simultaneously was a disaster the continent hadn't seen in many years.

The Star Luo Empire began sending troops to the border to reinforce their defenses.

At this moment, in the Heaven Dou military camp at the front lines, Yu Yuanzhen, Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, Sword and Bone Douluo, Tai Tan, Xue Qinghe, Marshal Ge Long, the Dean of Divine Wind Academy, the Dean of Blazing Academy, the Dean of Tianshui Academy, the Plant...

Representatives of all major powers were crowded into the tent, every face etched with worry.

The previous battle had caused losses for every power.

In particular, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had lost a total of five or six Spirit Douluo.

Every Spirit Douluo was an extremely precious and important individual.

Sect guardians raised with vast amounts of resources had died just like that.

This made their hearts bleed.

This beast tide was more than ten times more powerful than they had anticipated.

What made everyone even more helpless was another fact.

Spirit Hall had already sent word.

They had only sent one Titled Elder and a few Spirit Masters to assist.

This made their hope of relying on Spirit Hall to resolve the matter completely unfeasible.

The Spirit Beasts of the Extreme North were stronger than imagined. The power of the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts was mostly at the Super Douluo level, making it impossible for them to achieve victory in high-level combat power.

They didn't like Spirit Hall, but at this time, they had to admit Spirit Hall's importance.

“Marshal Ge Long, has a beast tide really broken out over at the Star Dou Great Forest?”

Ning Fengzhi scanned the crowd. Not a single person present was from Spirit Hall, and even the Elder mentioned in the message had yet to show up. This made him suspect that Spirit Hall wasn't paying attention to the Extreme North Land at all.

“School Master Ning, are you suspecting that Spirit Hall is doing this on purpose?”

Xue Qinghe appeared normal on the surface but was somewhat displeased. Although he didn't know what Bibi Dong was up to, all the prominent figures of the Heaven Dou Empire were here now.

Slandering Spirit Hall and leaving a bad impression in their hearts would make recruiting these people much harder in the future.

“According to military intelligence, Spirit Hall has indeed sent a large number of Spirit Masters to the Star Dou Great Forest. Based on past situations, it should be true; Spirit Hall doesn't do meaningless things.”

Marshal Ge Long showed a helpless expression. Hearing this, everyone fell silent. The beast tide from the Extreme North was too powerful; if they continued to fight head-on, the losses would be unimaginable.

Hu Yan Zhen of the Elephant Armored Academy was already having second thoughts.

He had originally thought he could come and pick up some scraps, but the opponent was too strong, and the strongest teammates hadn't arrived.

He had even lost half of the dozen or so clan members he brought.

This was still far from his own territory; there was no need to be at the very front.

“Notify the Clear Sky Sect. A crisis has appeared on the continent; I believe the people of the Clear Sky Sect should come out of seclusion. With their help, we'll have some confidence in resisting these Spirit Beasts.”

Yu Yuanzhen proposed his opinion, his voice full of hatred for the Spirit Beasts.

The Fifth Elder and Sixth Elder of their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had died in battle, and he himself had suffered significant injuries.

The losses of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were not small.

“People have already been sent, but no reply has been received!”

When Marshal Ge Long said this, everyone fell back into silence.

Facing an extremely powerful enemy, any scheme was useless unless someone could stall the high-level combatants of the Spirit Beasts, giving them time to deal with the rest.

At this moment, a guard's report came from outside, steadying everyone's heavy hearts.

“Marshal, Crown Prince, the Holy Son of Spirit Hall has arrived!”

...

In the Heaven Dou Empire's main camp, Su Wen stepped in and saw people wearing various uniforms.

Among them, several women in water-blue dresses caught his attention.

They all had standard tall figures, revealing a pair of snowy white long legs, and the words 'Tianshui' were on their clothes.

“Tianshui Academy!”

Seeing them, Su Wen thought of a Genius in Tianshui Academy.

Shui Binger, who possessed the Ice Phoenix Spirit.

Su Wen glanced around but didn't see any young girl of a similar age to him.

Instead, the teachers from Tianshui Academy felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at by Su Wen, and some even blushed.

One of the women with almond-shaped eyes walked over with a voluptuous stride.

“Little brother, what are you looking for? You have three great beauties by your side, yet your eyes are still coveting others. That's not good...”

The woman let out a giggle. Looking at Su Wen's handsome face and heterochromatic eyes, his looks hit her right in the heart.

If Yue'er saw him, she would probably become a total fangirl.

Bi Ji and Zi Ji showed no expression, but Ye Lingling looked at the mature woman in front of her, her eyes filled with wariness.

“I'm a rather greedy person!”

Su Wen's bluntness didn't make the woman angry; instead, she asked with a smile, “You're really interesting. Which academy are you from? Looking at your face, you must be very young, maybe even...”

“Spirit Hall!”

The woman's laughter stopped abruptly, and everyone around was also drawn in upon hearing Spirit Hall.

In the current state of the war, they were counting on Spirit Hall's people to come and support them as soon as possible.

Now that they finally heard the name of Spirit Hall, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

“My name is Shui Ningbing, Vice Dean of Tianshui Academy!”

Shui Ningbing pulled back her smile and looked at them with a solemn expression.

“Su Wen, Holy Son of Spirit Hall!”

“Is Shui Binger a student at your academy?”
