King Niu smashed through the squad of Non-commissioned Officers like a thick log plowing through a field of mushrooms. He bent his knees, leaped a hundred meters, and crashed among the prodigies like a cannonball, sending Yang Yu—the strongest among them, short of the Optimizers—flying with a single hoof.
At the sight of this, the already panicked hearts of the Inner City prodigies fluttered like candle flames in a gale, threatening to extinguish at any moment.
Yang Yu, the Inner City prodigy sent flying by the brutish Top Tier Demon Beast, lay on the ground, their fate unknown. The beast appeared before them once more, its raised right hoof gripping a torrent of Qi Blood that seemed to warp the very air.
'They're going to die.'
The thought landed like a drop of water in the hearts of every prodigy and Non-commissioned Officer focused on King Niu. A dead silence fell, as if they were watching an already tattered banner about to be snapped in two by the enemy.
