Outside the Canaan Academy, in the mountains, a group of Canaan Academy students dressed in hemp clothing were enthusiastically displaying their skills on an open space.
"Hahaha, look at the brothers, look at me!"
A rugged-looking student surnamed Ma suddenly shouted, attracting the attention of everyone around him.
"High-level Yellow Rank Battle Skill—Earth and Wood Construction Technique!"
He quickly changed hand seals, and in a flash, slammed his hand on the ground, causing the surrounding terrain to shake violently. As the battle energy spread across the ground, the ground within a hundred meters instantly solidified into a foundation.
"How about that, isn't that cool?"
"You bumpkin, what's so cool about that? Watch what I, the young master, have to do!" While everyone else was dressed in hemp clothing, this person was still wearing a white robe, and his clothes were completely spotless.
"Watch this, you bumpkin! This move of mine, High-level Yellow Rank Battle Skill—Concrete Technique!"
Everyone saw a burst of water-attribute battle energy suddenly erupt from his body, then absorb the surrounding dust, transforming it into a flowing substance. Under their control, it plunged down towards the foundation, instantly solidifying it.
Its hardness was such that even a typical Great Dou Master would find it difficult to destroy in a short time.
"You two are truly master builders!"
The surrounding crowd couldn't help but admire the two who had completed such a large-scale project in such a short time, their tone tinged with envy. The many students from Canaan Academy who came here to build the city weren't doing free labor; they were exchanging their completed work for a certain amount of fire energy.
Moreover, the top three students in terms of completion would receive a pill tailored to their individual needs by Elder Lin Feng, which was why everyone was so envious. Judging by the speed of these two, one of the top three would definitely receive one; as for who would qualify afterward, that would be up to them to negotiate.
Seeing the two display their incredible power, everyone quickly unleashed their own true abilities.
"Advanced Yellow Rank - Mountain Moving and Sea Filling Technique!"
"Advanced Yellow Rank - Blazing Flame Technique!"
"Advanced Yellow Rank - Dust Moving Technique!"
"Advanced Yellow Rank..."
As the numerous students of Canaan Academy displayed their skills, a corner of the Beast Lord City's foundation was completed at a visible speed. Of course, for this giant city used for trade between humans and myriad races of magical beasts, it was merely a drop in the ocean, and it was still far from completion.
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 formidable, but in all aspects, they are also someone that beasts dare not underestimate!"
"Hahaha, 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."
Hearing the Wolf King's words, a smile flashed in Elder Su Qian's old eyes. He stroked his beard and turned the topic to Lin Feng.
"Master Lin Feng, you are truly a peerless genius!"
"..."
Dozens of kilometers away from the chosen site of Beast Lord City, in an unnamed forest, three figures—two large and one small—faced each other.
"Lion King, Tiger King, please lend a hand!"
"Hahaha, not at all! Lately, after sparring with Master Lin Feng, I, Old Lion, feel that even my long-dormant cultivation barrier is showing signs of loosening." The Lion King laughed heartily; he was the one who sparred most with Lin Feng.
"No wonder you, you fool, after being humiliated by Master Lin Feng so many times, you still keep going. I thought you wanted to get beaten up!"
Seeing
that the Lion King and Tiger King were about to start bickering again, Lin Feng quickly stopped them. He hadn't invited them here to act as peacemakers.
"Gentlemen, let's settle this in the battle." As
soon as he finished speaking, seemingly to prevent the two reserved kings from arguing 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.
"Roar!"
Facing an attack from Lin Feng, who was already a high-level Battle King, the Lion King dared not be careless. With a roar, the powerful sound waves forced Lin Feng back. Then, the energy around him surged violently towards the Tiger King beside him.
"Lion King Wave!"
"Damn it, you wretched bastard! Behold my family's secret technique, Tiger's Roar in the Forest!"
Enraged by the Lion King's unsportsmanlike sneak attack, the Tiger King unleashed a sonic technique inherited from his bloodline.
The two powerful sonic techniques, unleashed by a sixth-tier magical beast king, were earth-shattering, leveling everything around them. Even the people of Canaan Academy, dozens of kilometers away, felt the impact.
However, the Tiger King merely glanced up slightly, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes, before continuing his arduous work. Such fluctuations had become commonplace in the past ten days.
"Diamond Finger!"
While the two kings were locked in a stalemate, Lin Feng, not idle either, used a Xuan-rank fighting technique, attacking the two massive figures at incredible speed.
"Roar!"
Seeing Lin Feng's actions, the Lion King and Tiger King exchanged a glance, quickly retreating, then roared at Lin Feng, simultaneously extending their sky-ripping claws.
Several figures fought incessantly, sometimes Lin Feng fighting alone, sometimes the Lion King and Lin Feng joining forces 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 booming sounds echoing across the ravine-covered land.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Feng fought tirelessly during the day and pondered and summarized his experiences at night. During this time, he naturally studied more advanced alchemy techniques. After more than a month, Lin Feng could barely refine a sixth-grade high-level pill.
At this time, Lin Feng went into seclusion again, preparing to consume the Five Elements Pill to reach the level of an eight-star Dou Wang in one fell swoop. The Lion King, Tiger King, and other demonic beast kings also got a brief respite; the continuous fighting was too torturous for demonic beasts.
Another ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Outside, the outline of a colossal creature was becoming vaguely visible, towering into the clouds. Numerous demonic beasts moved about within it, occasionally interspersed with human figures.
The walls were incredibly sturdy, a colossal city forged by the combined efforts of numerous disciples from the inner court of Canaan Academy. Every part of it was capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a Great Battle Master. Engraved on the walls were patterns of colossal beast shadows and humans working together, representing the city's origins—a joint effort by humans and all other races.
At this moment, Elder Su Qian, leading several inner court elders and several demonic beast kings including the Wolf King and Lion King, stood outside the massive city, their eyes filled with awe.
"The grandeur of Beast Lord City is truly remarkable. From a distance, it's as if it's separated by a whole realm!"
"Indeed, we must thank the academy for its great assistance."
Seeing Su Qian's exclamation, the Wolf King and the others hurriedly expressed their gratitude. Without the academy's help, Beast Lord City, built by the demonic beasts themselves, would likely have been nothing more than a vast but rudimentary small town.
Amidst the mutual polite exchanges, a colossal structure, hundreds of feet high and miles long and wide, silently watched them.
