132: Chapter 132 Li Yu Makes His Appearance, Chen Qing's Terrifying Power
In the distance, the figure of Li Yu appeared.
His tall, thin silhouette, bathed in the faint light of dawn, seemed like a glimmer of light emerging from the dark night, rekindling hope in the desperate hearts of the two members of the Rongrong Group and the three members of the War Wolf Squad.
"Li Yu!"
"Master Li!"
"Brother Li Yu..."
The five of them shouted excitedly. Yang Juan's voice was the loudest, and Zhang Erniu was sobbing uncontrollably with excitement, making the scene quite chaotic for a moment.
Wu Guifang was somewhat nearsighted and didn't recognize the figure, but even so, the reaction of these five Beast Tamers startled her.
Who could it be that made these five guys so excited?
Could there be another Breeder in Ningyang City capable of healing such near-fatal injuries?
She frowned, staring with eyes that looked dull due to her nearsightedness.
As Li Yu drew closer, she finally saw clearly.
"It's you!"
Upon recognizing the newcomer, Wu Guifang's expression instantly darkened.
Logically speaking, she and Li Yu had no grudges; apart from that one meeting, they had almost never appeared in the same place.
Moreover, one was a late-stage rising star, and the other was a veteran Breeder; one was in the south of the city, and the other in the north—they had absolutely nothing to do with each other.
But Wu Guifang didn't think so.
Just like the unfriendly attitude most Breeders had toward Li Yu at the meeting, Wu Guifang had worked hard for decades to become a Senior Cultivator.
But what about Li Yu?
A young man not even 20 years old had easily become a Senior Cultivator, making her decades of effort seem like a joke.
Not to mention, Director Wang's attitude toward Li Yu was surprisingly good, praising him three times during the meeting.
This preferential treatment was deeply etched in the minds and hated in the hearts of Senior Cultivators like Wu Guifang.
Li Yu looked at Wu Guifang with confusion: "Auntie, do you know me?"
Wu Guifang's expression stiffened, and the next second, she bristled like a cat whose fur had been rubbed the wrong way, roaring: "Insolent! You ill-mannered brat, you don't even know who I am? Is this how you treat your seniors?"
Li Yu looked at her carefully and said earnestly: "Still don't know you."
After saying this, Li Yu bypassed Wu Guifang and walked straight toward the excited group.
Before he had taken many steps, Wu Guifang signaled to the people behind her, and several students along with a Guardian blocked Li Yu's path in unison.
"Stop," one student said. "My teacher won't let you leave, you'd better stop."
"Kid, provoking a Senior Cultivator is very dangerous," Wu Guifang's Guardian said coldly.
Li Yu frowned and said: "The situation is urgent. I don't have time to chit-chat with you, please move aside."
But the Guardian and the students remained unmoved, still blocking Li Yu's path.
Wu Guifang regained her arrogance and said to Li Yu: "Becoming a Senior Cultivator at such a young age may not necessarily be a good thing if you rise too fast and don't even understand the basic respect for your seniors."
"Young man, come over here and apologize to me, say that you were blind, and I will forgive you. Otherwise, you won't be able to get past."
After speaking, she lifted her chin, waiting for Li Yu's apology.
In her view, such young people were too green; they usually weren't very bold and had thin skin. Nine times out of ten, he would blush, bow to her while stuttering an apology, and say that he was "blind."
However, Li Yu ignored her and just looked at the people in front of him with displeasure.
"Chen Qing."
"Understood."
The next second, the students blocking Li Yu's path were struck by something, screaming as they were sent flying several meters away like cannonballs, rolling into the bloodstains.
"What?!"
The Guardian was shocked, hurriedly retreating and raising his hand to summon his Beast—a Silver Grade 9 Golden Light Eagle.
After the Golden Light Eagle appeared, it flew into the air and let out a sharp cry.
With his Beast, the Guardian's courage grew, and he shouted at the surroundings: "You hidden coward, get out here!"
"Above you," Li Yu said.
The Guardian looked up at the sky. The next second, he saw a figure stepping on the back of the Golden Light Eagle. The Golden Light Eagle seemed terrified by something, flapping its wings and silently landing on the ground.
Chen Qing stepped down from the Golden Light Eagle's back and looked at it. The latter's feathers stood on end, and it shivered, not daring to move.
"How is this possible..." the Guardian exclaimed in horror. It was the first time he had felt such intense fear from the Golden Light Eagle's emotions.
Immediately, he saw Chen Qing place her hand on the Golden Light Eagle's neck. Alarmed, he shouted: "Spare it!"
Boom!
Before the words left his mouth, the Golden Light Eagle was grabbed by the neck by Chen Qing and slammed hard into the ground. After a loud crash, the lawn caved in, and the shockwave spread out, leaving cracks in a ten-meter radius.
Everyone was horrified.
The three members of the War Wolf Squad widened their eyes, wearing expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
They had seen Chen Qing deal with Wang Ye and the others and knew her strength was far above their own, but they hadn't expected it to be this terrifying.
Zhang Erniu and Doll Girl watched with twitching eyelids.
"Her strength is not weaker than mine," Zhang Erniu swallowed hard.
"Before Big Dragon evolved?" Doll Girl asked.
"Now."
"!!!"
Doll Girl broke out in goosebumps, screaming internally.
Such a monster!
What kind of crazy courage did she have last time to actually want to team up with those idiots to deal with her?
It turns out all four of them were idiots!
Liu Zhanxing watched this scene from afar, his eyes narrowing, his amazement at Li Yu deepening.
"With such powerful strength, she is actually willing to be a Guardian by his side. Just how much charisma does he have?"
"Or rather... why is such a powerful Beast Tamer so unknown?"
Li Yu turned back and looked at Wu Guifang: "Now, may I pass?"
"Y-y-yes..." Wu Guifang's voice trembled.
Li Yu nodded and then looked at Wu Guifang's Guardian, asking: "Can you move aside?"
The Guardian stiffly moved a few steps, unable to recover for a long while.
Li Yu passed him and went straight to the members of the War Wolf Squad and the Rongrong Group. He first nodded at Liu Zhanxing, who hurriedly responded.
Li Yu then looked at the War Wolf Squad and said: "Tell me about the situation."
"Okay, we were the first to arrive at this gymnasium. We were chatting not long ago when suddenly Yang Juan's Blazing Fire Crow showed signs of abnormality..."
Chen Danian briefly explained what had happened earlier.
Li Yu listened carefully, nodded in understanding, and said: "The Blazing Fire Crow and the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon, two Fire-type Beasts of excellent quality, were the first to react? That matches my hypothesis."
"Brother Li, what should we do now? Their conditions are very bad."
"Yes, yes, Master Li, that woman named Wu Guifang just said that my Big Dragon is beyond saving and told me to prepare for the worst. Please, I beg you to help. You must cure it no matter what!"
When Yang Juan and Zhang Erniu mentioned their Beasts, they were both in tears, their voices filled with desperate pleading.
For a Beast Tamer, an excellent Beast is her means of livelihood and her capital.
Not to mention a Beast partner that she spends every day with, carrying so many emotions; this goes beyond just being a Beast, more like a friend or family member.
Li Yu smiled: "Rest assured, since I have come, I am here to solve the problem."
"Really! Can you cure them?!" Yang Juan and Zhang Erniu looked at Li Yu excitedly.
The members of the War Wolf Squad and the Rongrong Group looked on with anticipation.
Liu Zhanxing couldn't help but perk up.
This was a future Platinum Beast, a Beast with a great chance of becoming another pillar of Ningyang City, if it could really be saved.
That would be tremendous news for Ningyang City.
