Divine-level Base-Chapter 85: 100 Dogs on a Rampage

Although Shu Feng and Zhao Zixing were in the same class, their seats were far apart. Plus, everyone had spent the last month buried in their studies and cultivation, so they’d had no real interaction.

It was the first time Zhao Zixing had ever taken a serious look at Shu Feng. He was somewhat handsome, but in a class like Celestial Pride Class 9—a place teeming with attractive men—he seemed rather unremarkable.

Not long after, Luo Feng also opened his eyes. His gaze swept over Shu Feng, a flicker of surprise crossing his face. He smiled faintly, a strange light glinting in his eyes.

Half an hour later, the illusory image of the Original Dream Tree finally faded away.

Only then did all the students in the square open their eyes. Many of them still looked shaken, their hearts pounding with residual fear.

Everything that happened inside the Original Dream Tree had been so vivid, as if real. The sensation of being torn apart by the Black Dog Illusion Demons left a palpable fear in many of the students.

Song He said coolly, "Students whose names I call will now come forward! Li Xuan Yi... Luo Feng!"

Li Xuan Yi, Shu Feng, Zhao Zixing, and the other students who had opened their eyes first ascended the high platform one by one.

Song He stated concisely, "These are the top 32 freshmen from this session of the Original Dream Tree. Starting tomorrow, the elimination tournament for the top 32 will begin. Go back, rest well, and prepare for tomorrow’s battles! Now, dismissed!"

The thousands of Spiritual Power Element students looked on with envy at Shu Feng and the others. They all understood that these thirty-two were the true elites among this year’s freshmen.

Zhuo Qianlei stood below, watching Shu Feng on the high platform as a glint of excitement flashed in her lovely eyes. ’Top 32 freshmen! This guy really is something else!’

Zhong Jietong also stared intently at Shu Feng, an unusual light flickering in her beautiful eyes.

Shuijing High School gathered geniuses from all across the Qianyuan Republic. For Shu Feng to make it into the top 32 freshmen meant he was a genius among the countless geniuses of the Republic, with a limitless future ahead.

Ma Jue walked over, his eyes shining with excitement as he grumbled, "Shu Feng, Luo Feng, you two really kept me in the dark! So, how did you guys deal with those five Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Illusion Demons? I managed to kill three before the last two tore me to shreds!"

Lin Yao, Yuehai, and Qian Dong also came over. They looked at Shu Feng and Luo Feng, their expressions complicated. The ability to easily defeat five Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Illusion Demons meant Shu Feng and Luo Feng’s Power was far beyond their own.

The three of them were all top talents from different regions, each extremely proud and confident. To suddenly be confronted by someone so much more outstanding than them naturally left a sour taste in their mouths.

Shu Feng chuckled lightly. "I’m a Summoner! I summoned five Black Dog Illusion Demons and had them fight fire with fire. It was an easy fix."

Luo Feng said, "I have a Mastery of Spirit Martial Arts. I took out two from a distance and finished the other three up close!"

Ma Jue said, "Come on! You two are treating! Let’s go to Cafeteria No. 2 and have a feast!"

Luo Feng smiled warmly. "Sounds good!"

「The next day.」

On the Spiritual Power Element’s Central Square, thirty-two students sat in silence. Teachers stood watch not far from them, guarding them.

The other Spiritual Power Element students stood around the perimeter of the Central Square, waiting for the duels to begin.

Song He walked onto the high platform, holding a green Magic Staff. He once again summoned the mysterious and unfathomable Original Dream Tree. Thin, green threads descended from the sky, twining around the hands of the thirty-two students and pulling them into a dream.

Thirty-two screens of light materialized in the empty space above.

Ma Jue’s gaze fixed on the screen floating above Shu Feng’s head. His eyes narrowed, and he said in a grim tone, "Shangguan Xiong... Ah Feng’s opponent is Shangguan Xiong, one of the six seeds! This is going to be tough!"

"Shangguan Xiong! His Power is definitely enough to contend for the top spot among the freshmen. Even if Ah Feng can summon five Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Illusion Demons, he’s no match for him. Huh? What’s that?"

Lin Yao was in the middle of his commentary when his expression suddenly changed. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he stared intently at the screen displaying Shu Feng’s match.

’The terrain this time is a mountain! It’s very realistic, just like a real battle.’

The moment Shu Feng’s consciousness cleared, he found himself in a mountain range. Strange trees grew all around, and everything was shrouded in a dim light. Wisps of Void Demonic Qi drifted through the air, creating a deeply unsettling atmosphere.

The invasion from the Void Demon Realm was a fact known to all Spiritualists. Earth Star was at a complete disadvantage. If not for the protection of the Heart of the World, which prevented powerful Void Demons from entering, Earth Star would have fallen long ago.

Many of the Human Race’s top experts dreamed of infiltrating the Void Demon Realm, seeking greater Power or even a chance to launch a counteroffensive. However, the Power of Void Demon within that realm was a deadly poison to humans. Even a Human Race Saint could not withstand its corrupting influence for long.

In the Erosion Realm, outside of the scattered Human Race strongholds, the air was filled with a Power of Void Demon second only to the Void Demon Realm itself. This environment was designed to simulate the real combat conditions of the Erosion Realm.

A faint smile touched the corners of Shu Feng’s lips. ’In a real war, the first step is always to locate the enemy! This mountain forest environment is much more suitable for a Summoning Element expert like me. It looks like the school thinks I’m weaker than Shangguan Xiong, so they’re giving me a small advantage.’

Shangguan Xiong was a genius with the potential to compete for the title of top freshman, while Shu Feng was merely considered an ordinary top talent. It was perfectly normal for the school to grant Shu Feng a terrain advantage.

However, Shu Feng also knew that while this mountain range seemed vast, the actual battlefield was quite small. Even without the Black Dog Illusion Demons to scout, both combatants would be able to find each other with a little searching.

’Come forth!’

With a single thought from Shu Feng, one hundred Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Illusion Demons materialized around him. They then scattered in all directions, with him at the center.

"So many Black Dog Illusion Demons!!"

"A hundred of them! He actually summoned one hundred Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Illusion Demons! He’s a one-man army! This Shu Feng guy was hiding his true strength!"

"One hundred Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Illusion Demons... this guy is so strong! He’s definitely a seed-level expert, with the Power to compete for the top spot among freshmen!"

"..."

Seeing this, the spectating Spiritual Power Element students were all visibly shocked, and a buzz of discussion erupted. Even the students of the Celestial Pride Class were stunned.

For many students in the Celestial Pride Class, defeating a single Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Illusion Demon was no problem. Two was tricky. Three would require paying a price to win. Against four, the outcome was uncertain. Against five, defeat was a certainty.

For Shu Feng to summon one hundred Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Illusion Demons at once... there was virtually no one among the freshmen who could withstand such a terrifying corps of Black Dog Illusion Demons.
