Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 96 Construction

Outside the Canaan Academy, in the mountains, a group of Canaan Academy members dressed in hemp clothing were enthusiastically displaying their supernatural abilities in an open space.

"Hahaha, watch out, brothers, watch me!"

A rough-looking student surnamed Ma suddenly shouted, attracting the attention of everyone around him.

"Advanced Yellow Rank Combat Skill - Civil Engineering Construction Technique!"

He rapidly changed his hand seals, and in a flash, slammed his hand on the ground, causing the surrounding terrain to shake violently. As the battle qi energy spread across the ground, the ground within a hundred meters instantly solidified into a foundation.

"How was that? Wasn't that a cool move?"

"You bumpkin, what's the point of pretending like this? Just watch me!" While everyone else was dressed in linen, this person was still wearing a white robe, and there wasn't a single stain on his clothes.

"Just you wait, you bumpkin! This move of mine is a high-level Yellow-rank combat skill—Concrete Technique!"

Everyone saw a burst of water-attribute battle aura suddenly erupt from his body, then absorb the surrounding dust and transform into a flowing substance. Under his control, it then plunged down towards the foundation, instantly solidifying it.

Its hardness is such that even a typical Grand Master would find it difficult to destroy in a short time.

"You are truly master architects!"

Seeing that the two had completed such a large-scale project in such a short time, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but admire them, their tone tinged with envy. The many students from Canaan Academy who came here to build the city weren't doing it for free; they were being rewarded with a certain amount of fire energy based on the amount they completed.

Furthermore, the top three students in terms of completion rate will receive a pill tailored to their individual needs by Elder Lin Feng, which is why everyone is so envious. Judging by their speed, one of the top three will definitely receive one; as for who gets the qualification after that, that's up to them to negotiate.

Seeing the two display their incredible prowess, everyone else quickly followed suit and showed off their own skills.

"Advanced Yellow Rank - The Art of Moving Mountains and Filling Seas!"

"High-level Yellow Rank - Blazing Inferno Technique!"

"High-level Yellow Rank - Dust Shifting Technique!"

"Advanced Yellow Rank."

As the students of Canaan Academy displayed their skills, a section of the foundation of Beast Lord City was completed at a visible speed. Of course, for a giant city used for trade between humans and magical beasts of all races, this was merely a drop in the ocean, and it was still far from being completed.

On a hill not far away, Elder Su Qian and the Wolf King stood side by side, gazing at this rare sight.

"The students of Canaan Academy are indeed extraordinary. I thought their combat strength was one thing, but they also have qualities that even beasts dare not underestimate!"

"Haha, not at all, it's all thanks to Elder Lin Feng's influence. If it weren't for the top three rewards, these arrogant students wouldn't be willing to come here as laborers."

Upon hearing the Wolf King's words, Elder Su Qian's old eyes flashed with a smile. He stroked his beard and changed the subject to Lin Feng.

"Master Lin Feng is truly a peerless genius!"

"."

In an unnamed forest dozens of kilometers away from the chosen site of Beast Lord City, three figures, two large and one small, stood facing each other.

"Lion King, Tiger King, I'm troubling you, please make your move!"

"Hahaha, not at all. Recently, I've been sparring with Master Lin Feng, and I feel that my barrier to cultivation, which I haven't touched for a long time, is starting to loosen." The Lion King laughed heartily, as he was the one who sparred with Lin Feng the most.

"No wonder you, you fool, kept going despite being humiliated by Master Lin Feng so many times. I thought you just wanted to get beaten up!"

"you"

Seeing that the Lion King and the Tiger King were about to start arguing again, Lin Feng quickly stopped them. He had invited the two of them here not to act as peacemakers.

"Gentlemen, the battle will decide everything."

As soon as he finished speaking, seemingly to prevent the two reserved kings from bickering again, Lin Feng swooped down and threw a powerful punch at the Lion King. The powerful battle aura rustled the surrounding trees, and the Lion King's whiskers flew wildly backward.

"roar"

Even facing Lin Feng, a high-level Dou Wang, the Lion King dared not be careless. With a roar, a powerful sonic wave forced Lin Feng back. Then, the Lion King unleashed a violent surge of energy around him, directed towards the Tiger King beside him.

"Lion King Wave!"

"Damn you, you wretched bastard! Behold my family's secret technique, Tiger's Roar in the Mountains!"

Enraged by the Lion King's unsportsmanlike sneak attack, the Tiger King unleashed a sonic technique passed down through his bloodline.

The two powerful sonic techniques, unleashed by a sixth-tier magical beast king, were earth-shattering in their force, leveling everything around them. Even the people of Canaan Academy, dozens of kilometers away, felt the impact.

However, he only slightly raised his head, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes, before continuing to bury himself in his work. Such fluctuations have become common in the past ten days.

"Diamond Finger!"

Just as the two kings were locked in a stalemate, Lin Feng was not idle either. He used a Xuan-rank fighting technique and attacked the two huge figures one after the other at an extremely fast speed.

"roar"

Upon seeing Lin Feng's actions, the Lion King and Tiger King exchanged a glance, quickly retreated, and then roared at Lin Feng, simultaneously extending their Sky-Rending Claws towards him.

Several figures fought incessantly, sometimes Lin Feng fighting alone, sometimes the Lion King teaming up with Lin Feng to force the Tiger King back. At these times, Lin Feng would stand aside, waiting for the Tiger King's counterattack. This alternation continued, the roar echoing endlessly across the ravine-covered land.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Feng spent his days fighting and his nights reflecting and summarizing. During this time, he naturally studied more advanced alchemy techniques. After a month, Lin Feng was able to barely refine high-grade sixth-rank pills.

At this moment, Lin Feng went into seclusion once again, preparing to consume the Five Elements Pill and reach the level of an eight-star Dou Wang in one fell swoop. Meanwhile, the Lion King, Tiger King, and other demonic beast kings also got a brief respite; the continuous battle was simply too torturous for the demonic beasts.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Outside, the outline of a colossal creature was becoming faintly visible, towering into the clouds. Numerous magical beasts roamed about within it, interspersed with the figures of humans from time to time.

The walls are incredibly sturdy, a colossal city forged by the combined efforts of numerous disciples from the inner court of Canaan Academy. Every part of it is capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a Grand Battle Master. Engraved on the walls are patterns of enormous beast shadows and humans working together, representing the city's origins—a collaborative effort between humans and all other races.

At this moment, Elder Su Qian, leading several inner court elders, stood outside the massive city with the Wolf King, Lion King, and other demon beast kings, and couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

"The grandeur of Beast Lord City is truly remarkable; from a distance, it practically separates an entire realm!"

"Yes, we must thank the academy for its great help this time."

Seeing Su Qian's感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion), the Wolf King and the others hurriedly expressed their gratitude. If it weren't for the academy's assistance, and if Beast Lord City had been built by the magical beasts themselves, it would most likely have been nothing more than a large but rudimentary small city.

As the two sides yielded to each other, a colossal structure, hundreds of feet high and of unknown length and width, silently watched them.
