Reborn as the Candle Dragon, I became the strongest academy guardian beast.

[Complete an epic investment]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward of 30000 Evolution Points]

[Ding! Kong Bowen's cultivation level detected: First Tier 5th Level → First Tier 8th Level]

[Evolution Points Returned: 3000]

As the system notification sounded, Su Chen's aura continued to rise, reaching the eighth level of the Lord level!

Su Chen's snake-like eyes flashed with surprise.

The fact that reading can make you stronger shows that the martial spirit of the "Gentleman's Sword" is indeed extraordinary.

Although it feels somewhat incongruous to have a strong man like Kong Bowen studying and becoming a refined, gentle, and virtuous gentleman, it still feels a bit strange.

But according to historical records, Confucius was also nine feet six inches tall.

Converted to modern measurements, that's 2.22 meters, taller than Kong Bowen!

The morning sun was shining brightly, and Su Chen, coiled around the enormous snake body, felt exceptionally comfortable bathed in its warmth.

With a slight thought, a system panel quickly appeared before my eyes.

Azure Dragon Academy

[Rank: 1 stars (120/500)]

[Reputation: 50]

Number of people: 23516

[Review: An unremarkable, third-rate college]

Besides the investment targets, the overall strength or reputation of the Azure Dragon Academy can also return a large number of evolution points to Su Chen.

For this reason, Su Chen hoped more than anyone else that Qinglong Academy could achieve good results in the upcoming martial arts tournament.

Seeing the atmosphere of striving for excellence and everyone working hard to cultivate in the academy, Su Chen felt very gratified.

Just then, several students passed by Su Chen.

"Have you heard? We might have a holiday soon."

"A holiday? Really?!"

"Why would I lie to you? A huge beast tide has appeared in the southeast of the city. We are short of manpower at the front line. If the beast tide expands further, the teachers will have to go to support us, and the whole school will be closed for half a day."

Su Chen suddenly opened his snake eyes.

Have a holiday?

He remembers being overjoyed when he heard that there would be holidays due to typhoons, storms, or other special reasons during his student days.

but now……

With the martial arts tournament just around the corner, how can the school give students a holiday at this time?

People can't even empathize with their past selves!

"Of all times, a beast tide has to appear..."

A cold glint flashed in Su Chen's golden vertical pupils.

It seems the only solution is to address the problem at its source.

"[Spatial Manipulation]"

As the deep voice fell, a narrow spatial rift was torn open, its edges shimmering with a dark silver light.

After reaching level 2 in [Spatial Manipulation], the spatial passage that Su Chen tore open was barely able to accommodate his body.

This made his travels much more convenient, as he no longer needed to rely on teleportation arrays to reach fixed locations.

Soon, Su Chen's enormous snake body disappeared into the crack and vanished from the spot.

……

Ningchuan City, Southeast Theater Command.

On the city wall, soldiers stood in formation to defend, while ranged attacks rained down like raindrops.

Arrows, guns, wind blades, fireballs... all sorts of soul power attacks intertwined into a giant net, pouring down on the surging beast tide below.

The beast tide currently besieging the city is led by four wolf kings.

Fiery Wolf King, Gale Wolf King, Shadow Wolf King, Frost Wolf King.

His wolf pack numbered a full million!

Wolves are not only numerous, but they are also fearless in the face of death.

After one wave is driven back, a new wave surges in.

They went one after another, tirelessly.

"We can't hold on any longer! Signal for reinforcements immediately!" Cao Yue, the captain in charge of defending the city, shouted hoarsely.

Before he could finish speaking, a huge white shadow swept across the city wall, its sharp claws lunging for Cao Yue's throat.

Having fought ferocious beasts for many years and possessing rich experience, Cao Yue immediately dodged to the side.

But he was too late.

The sharp wolf claws slashed across his chest, and blood splattered instantly!

Cao Yue groaned as he was slammed away by the force of the impact and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Captain!" Several soldiers rushed over to help him up.

"Don't worry about me, keep defending!" Cao Yue gritted his teeth, propped himself up, and stared intently at the giant white wolf in front of him.

The Gale Wolf King is a fearsome beast renowned for its speed.

Unexpectedly, it used its amazing speed to bypass the defense line and climb the city wall all by itself!

The current situation is terrible.

The number of beasts in this horde is too large, and the number of people guarding the city is far from sufficient.

Even losing one player could create a defensive gap.

He must face the swift wolf king alone.

Even if we can't kill it, we must stall until reinforcements arrive!

B-grade ferocious beast martial soul, [Black Bear]!

Cao Yue let out a low shout, and his martial spirit instantly manifested.

The next second, his size increased rapidly, and his 1.8-meter height was forcibly increased to nearly 3 meters.

Cao Yue's military uniform was instantly torn apart, revealing thick black hair growing on his exposed skin. His arms were a full circle thicker than before, and his ten fingernails transformed into sharp, gleaming claws.

His increased size caused his wounds to tear further, and blood gushed from the claw marks on his chest.

But Cao Yue completely disregarded his own injuries, roared, and strode towards the Gale Wolf King.

"Come on, you beast."

"I'll be your opponent!"

Suddenly, Cao Yue's pupils contracted sharply.

The Gale Wolf King vanished into thin air!

To be precise, it didn't disappear, but rather it was so fast that it completely exceeded the speed of his naked eye!

"So fast!" Cao Yue's heart was filled with shock.

Ordinary ferocious beasts of the terrifying level could never possess such speed.

This Gale Wolf King is probably the strongest of the four wolf kings, its strength is already approaching that of a lord!

Cao Yue looked up abruptly, and the white giant wolf appeared directly above him like a ghost. Its eerie green eyes were cold and merciless, and its huge claws, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, slammed down toward his head.

"Am I going to die...?"

Cao Yue had one last thought.

He felt a sense of resentment.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to be killed by the Gale Wolf King.

Instead, they were unwilling to accept their own weakness, unable to even buy a few more seconds for their comrades.

The wind whistled in my ears.

Just as Cao Yue subconsciously closed his eyes, thinking he was doomed, the wolf claw's movements abruptly stopped.

Cao Yue suddenly opened his eyes.

The Gale Wolf King stood frozen in place, its white fur standing on end, its eerie green eyes shrinking to two tiny black dots, and its whole body trembling violently.

A wolf king of the fear level actually showed an expression of extreme terror!

The Gale Wolf King suddenly turned around, trying to escape down the city wall.

Just then, a crack suddenly appeared in the space.

A powerful suction force surged from the crack. The Gale Wolf King was terrified and desperately howled and struggled to escape, but its body was uncontrollably pulled in.

The next second, a chilling sound of bones shattering and swallowing came from the crack.

Cao Yue's eyes widened in shock.

The terrifying-level Gale Wolf King was instantly killed?!

What exactly is inside?

A moment later, the swallowing sound stopped.

The figure finally slowly emerged from the crack.

Su Chen's enormous serpentine body appeared above the city wall, his golden vertical pupils looking down at the tiny figures below. He said in a deep voice, "Do not panic, I am the guardian beast of the Azure Dragon Academy."
