Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 148: Chapter 149: Sima Jingyi’s Crisis

At that moment, a roar from a Magical Beast suddenly echoed from afar, causing everyone to immediately halt their steps.

Zhao Fei looked in the direction the sound was coming from and said, ”Just by the sound of this Magical Beast, you can tell it’s extraordinary. We need to be careful, and it’s best to take a detour if necessary.”

”Brother Fei, you’re the number one expert of our academy, are you afraid?” One of the students said with a flattering smile.

Zhao Fei glanced at the speaker and replied, ”Number one expert? Even the number one expert would have no choice but to run when encountering Tier Six or Tier Seven Magical Beasts. Don’t forget that the instructor said there are Tier Seven Magical Beasts here, and you must always be cautious, or you won’t even know how you died.”

Everyone felt a wave of fear after hearing this. They initially thought that following Zhao Fei would keep them safe, but now they were unsure.

”Everyone wait here for a moment, I’ll go check it out. If it’s not a very formidable Magical Beast, we can slay it; otherwise, we’ll detour.” After Zhao Fei spoke, he vanished from everyone’s sight like a shadow.

Sima Jingyi was also worried. After more than ten days, they had collectively hunted hundreds of Magical Beasts. The most formidable was a Tier Five Beast, which they had struggled to defeat. Encountering a Tier Six or even a Tier Seven Beast, as Zhao Fei mentioned, might not allow them to retreat unscathed.

The only thing she regretted was that Chu Linfeng was not by her side. If Lin Feng were there, even if she were slain by a Magical Beast, she wouldn’t regret it. But this situation wouldn’t occur, as Chu Linfeng would do his utmost to protect her.

Zhao Fei slowed down after running for a while as he heard the noises made by a Magical Beast not far away.

After advancing a few hundred meters, he stopped. A Beast as large as a small mountain was approaching, looking quite peculiar, like a mix between a wolf and a tiger.

”Oh my god, what kind of Beast is this? Its size is incredibly massive. This Magical Beast is at least a Tier Six... no, a Tier Seven Beast!” Zhao Fei thought in shock.

Even as the top expert of Celestial Dragon Academy, he was somewhat flustered for the first time upon seeing such a terrifying Beast. He turned around and fled desperately.

The massive Beast naturally saw Zhao Fei as well. It let out an earth-shattering roar and quickly pursued him.

Zhao Fei was fast, but the Beast was even faster. The distance between them was about two hundred meters and narrowed to a few dozen meters in less than a minute.

When the Beast was fifty meters from Zhao Fei, his silhouette appeared in everyone’s line of sight, and they soon saw the giant Beast behind him.

”Oh my god, Brother Fei actually lured such a huge Beast, is he crazy?” A student quickly reacted and immediately turned to run.

”Everyone, run!” Zhao Fei’s voice reached everyone’s ears at that time.

Seeing the colossal Beast behind Zhao Fei, a sense of despair flashed through Sima Jingyi’s heart. She felt that she might really perish here this time.

Some students ran, but most stayed behind. It wasn’t because they were foolish; if they ran, Zhao Fei would be in real danger. This was a true display of team spirit.

At that time, Zhao Fei breathlessly came in front of everyone and asked in shock, ”Why aren’t you running? This Beast is not something we can slay.”

”We want to run too, but does it make sense to leave you behind? If this Beast is as formidable as you say, we wouldn’t escape for long even if we ran. We might as well see if we can take it down!” One student said.

This student was quite renowned at Celestial Dragon Academy, ranking third on the strength leaderboard, slightly above Wu Qing, and his name was Liu Quan.

Zhao Fei was deeply moved. Perhaps only in the most dangerous and difficult times can such brotherhood be expressed.

The Beast was getting closer, and although everyone felt tense, they didn’t retreat. They all took out their weapons, ready to fight it.

”Good! Very good! Today, let us meet this High Tier Magical Beast; dying in battle will be worth it!” Zhao Fei laughed.

The Beast arrived before everyone but didn’t rush to attack them. It stopped ten meters away, its massive eyes watching them.

Just as Zhao Fei and the others were about to make a move, the Beast suddenly spoke, ”You have some guts to stop here. Are you planning to kill me together?”

Everyone was stunned to hear the Beast speak, reminiscent of when Chu Lin and the others first heard the Golden Demon Vulture talk.

Fear and panic grew; a Beast that could speak must be at least Tier Seven, and perhaps there was really no chance of survival.

Zhao Fei glanced at everyone’s shocked expressions and said, ”We are just passing through and didn’t expect to encounter a senior. With our strength, we’re unworthy to be your enemy.”

Sometimes putting your opponent on a pedestal can have a good effect. Though this Beast could speak, it couldn’t be compared mentally with humans, Zhao Fei thought.

The Beast shook its enormous head, instantly releasing a suffocating pressure, inherent from its nature, making Zhao Fei and the others even more worried.

”Youngster, I am not swayed by your words. Here, I am the King. You have slaughtered countless of my people; don’t you think I should swallow you all whole?”

”You stand high above us; we are no match, but surrendering is impossible. If you want to swallow, then give it a try!” Sima Jingyi suddenly said.

Everyone looked at Sima Jingyi reproachfully. Wasn’t this girl provoking the other side? This was courting death.

”Girl, you have quite the courage. I like that, but what about your appearance? Let me have a look, and perhaps if I am pleased, I might spare you.” The Magical Beast Giant Tiger continued.

”Dream on, you’re not worthy!” Sima Jingyi was immediately furious, incredulous that a Magical Beast was speaking so suggestively to her, yet it was happening.

Suddenly, the Magical Beast Giant Tiger flashed, emitting a gray light, and a young man, no older than thirty, appeared before everyone.

The transformation of the Beast into human form once again stunned everyone; many thought it was a dream, yet it was unfolding right before their eyes.

With a wave of his hand, a massive gust came, and Sima Jingyi was lifted by the wind as if an invisible giant hand had firmly grabbed her, immobilizing her mid-air.

At that moment, the cloth covering her face fell, revealing a face of unparalleled beauty to everyone...
