Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 459 Heavenly Horned Ants

Only Shi An remained calm, a fleeting, chaotic light flashing in his deep eyes, as if he had already pierced through the hazy divine light and white mist and seen the scene at the bottom of the pool.

The corners of his mouth even curled up in a barely perceptible arc, carrying a sense of understanding and a hint of... amusement.
Yunxi felt the warmth of Shi An's palm and his calm demeanor, and the shock in her heart quickly subsided. However, her beautiful eyes were also fixed on the center of the pool, filled with curiosity.

"Hmph! A bunch of ignorant bumpkins! I have been sleeping here for eternity, nourishing myself with the essence emanating from these three little lotus flowers. This pool is naturally my bathwater!"

"You all took it without asking and drank so heartily, do you think I'm disturbing your enjoyment?"

The tender voice rang out again, its tone almost overflowing with dissatisfaction and contempt.

As the words fell, the divine light and white mist beside the Soul-Guiding Lotus in the center of the pool suddenly churned violently, as if boiling. Then, a small figure slowly rose from the water.

The figure was only an inch tall, and its entire body was golden, as if it were cast from the purest immortal gold.

It resembles an ant, yet its entire body is covered with complex and mysterious primitive runes, and every inch of its body flows with the radiance of power and the Dao.

At the same time, an indescribable, terrifying power, as if it could crush the heavens, arose like a sleeping ancient star, and spread out with a roar, causing the entire space to freeze!

Despite its small size, its domineering aura of looking down upon the world and being the only one who reigns supreme shook everyone present, and even Shi Hao felt a slight jolt in his heart.

"You little brat, you dare to mess with me? Be careful, or I might just crush you in the blink of an eye!"

However, Cao Yusheng seemed not to sense the aura emanating from the other party, feeling that the other party was so insignificant, how strong could he be?

"Hmph! You think you can flatten me? You think you can?"

Upon hearing this, the tiny golden ant-like creature immediately let out a sneer, its childish voice full of mockery: "You fatso who can't even withstand one of my punches dares to be so arrogant?!"

Hey~ ya!

Seeing how arrogant the little bean sprout was, Cao Yusheng couldn't help but find it amusing. After letting out a strange cry, he squatted down, stretched out a finger, and poked the tiny creature, which was less than an inch long.

"Boom!"

However, the next moment, he was stunned!
Because he was hit by a punch, as if he were trampled by a divine elephant, or as if he were smashed by an ancient giant mountain. He was sent flying horizontally, rushing towards the horizon, unable to stop even if he wanted to.

In addition, he felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if all his bones were broken.

"I...I was blasted away by a tiny kid, I..."

Cao Yusheng cursed, spewing profanities before fainting. Then, he... very uncooperatively, was knocked unconscious by that punch.

Everyone looked up and watched Cao Yusheng gradually disappear into the distance, turning into a small black dot until he was gone.

This scene shocked everyone, because Cao Yusheng had made great achievements in both the Inscription and Array Realms, making incredible breakthroughs and inscribing the third-best killing array in the world within his body.

But now he couldn't even catch a single punch from his opponent!

Even though Cao Yusheng was caught off guard and the other party succeeded suddenly, it was still very shocking and left people stunned.

"She's really passed out!"

The witch muttered to herself; she had clearly seen that the fat man had indeed fainted.

"How embarrassing! Don't even mention knowing me!" The Lunar Jade Rabbit showed no sympathy, carrying the Qilin cub, hopped to the witch's side, blinked its ruby-like eyes, and pouted.

However, this was also because she knew that the fat man wouldn't die, he would just suffer, otherwise she wouldn't have done it this way.

Huo Ling'er covered her mouth and chuckled, Qingyi shook her head helplessly, and even the usually composed Lan Xian and the others showed surprise on their faces.

"What exactly is the origin of this little thing?"

Da Su Tuo frowned, his gaze fixed on the small, golden figure with flowing runes in the center of the pool.

Shi Hao's eyes narrowed as he stared at the tiny golden ant, which was only an inch tall, his heart filled with turmoil.

He could sense that the aura emanating from the other party, though seemingly immature, was ancient enough to make one's heart tremble, as if it came from the Immortal Ancient Era, or even an era far beyond!

"Hmph, you deserve it!"

The little golden ant stood with its arms crossed, hovering above the Soul-Guiding Lotus, its golden carapace making the three divine herbs pale in comparison.

It glanced at the crowd, its voice childish yet mature: "I was sleeping soundly when you little brats woke me up. And you dare to drink my bathwater? I'm already being merciful by not turning you all into mincemeat."

Its small body stood upright, just like a human, with its arms crossed in front of its chest, its head held high, its big eyes like golden lamps, one foot in front and one foot behind, looking rather nonchalant.

"The bloodline of the ultimate power... the Heavenly Horned Ant clan, truly lives up to its reputation."

Seeing the little guy like this, Shi An's smile deepened. His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every living being.

"boom!"

In an instant, the words "Sky Horned Ant" exploded in everyone's minds like a thunderclap!
Dead silence! Utter dead silence!

Whether it was the cultivators who had just gotten up or Shi Hao and the others who were on guard, their pupils were wide open in shock, and their faces were filled with extreme horror and disbelief!
Horned ants?!

One of the legendary Ten Fiends?!
A forbidden existence from the ancient times, where physical strength reigned supreme and could rival even a true dragon?!
This tiny, still somewhat immature golden ant, barely an inch tall, is actually a larva of a giant horned ant?!

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Shi An's voice, the little ant froze, its golden eyes instantly locking onto him.

At just one glance, a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on its little face.

The person in front of me, though seemingly ordinary, possessed an aura of restraint, yet his extreme perception of danger, originating from the depths of his bloodline, was frantically issuing warnings!
This person... is very strange, extremely strange!
It had a feeling that even if it used all its strength, when it got close to the other party, it would be like a mud ox sinking into the sea, silently dissolved by a more magnificent, more chaotic force that seemed to be able to bear all things!

"who are you?"

For the first time, the little ant's childish voice was devoid of all its playfulness and arrogance, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

Those big, golden eyes stared intently at Shi An, his small body slightly lowered, instinctively adopting a guarded posture.

This subtle change sent shockwaves through the hearts of all the academy's prodigies who had just witnessed how arrogant and powerful this little guy was.

Even a powerful ant like the Heavenly Horned Ant showed such obvious fear of Shi An at their very first meeting?!
