Qin Wentian's gigantic form walked back, causing the earth to tremble. He coldly stared at the trapped white tigers with ice in his eyes.
All these white tigers were still struggling madly. When trapped, even animals would fight for their lives, let alone these Greater Demons.
However, were their struggles of any use?
Qin Wentian's palm then slammed down on another battlefield. When that white tiger saw the gigantic palm blasting down, his eyes were full of stark despair. With a thunderous boom, the white tiger was heavily injured. After that, a holy maiden stepped forth and stabbed out with her finger, materializing balls of phoenix flames that burned his body as he roared in endless pain. The white tiger stared at the surroundings only to see several of his tribe members had already been defeated and reduced to food for the humans. Now, his eyes only reflected boundless sorrow and pain.
At this moment, the white tigers were brimming with vengeance and hatred in their hearts. Why had they encountered such a powerful opponent? Why had they lusted after the holy maidens? If they'd showed some restraint in the first place, they wouldn't have ended up with such a tragic outcome today. The white tigers here were all elites of their race, and if all of them were to die in this place, it would result in a monumental loss to the White Tiger Race in the external world.
Under the rules of the sacred academy, no immortal sense was permitted to activate within its confines. Naturally, all of them possessed these strands of protective immortal sense, but because they were currently in the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, the immortal senses were all useless. No matter what they experienced here, no one in the external world would find out. In other words, their elders were still outside waiting for them and had no idea that the white tigers were currently being massacred.
The combat gradually halted, and those experts who had been unluckily trapped were all killed without question. Upon dying, the white tigers all reverted to their original forms and were currently being cooked by the phoenix flames. It seems that yet another feast was on the way.
Not long after, nothing new seemed to have transpired. Qin Wentian and his comrades continued feasting on the white tigers as the fragrance of the meat drifted out, causing many of the spectators to drool with the desire to take a bite.
"Oh no, we came late…" A voice rang out. The crowd only saw a flash of golden light as the monk Bujie appeared before Qin Wentian and his comrades. His eyes widened, seemingly upset at the scene. He gulped down his saliva and without caring for decorum, he instantly stuffed a piece of white tiger flesh into his mouth and savoured the taste.
"Monk, I didn't invite you to eat," Qin Wentian admonished when he saw Bujie.
"Brother, why must you do this? This is just some cheap meat with redundant properties. It's just a minor matter," the monk Bujie said shamelessly as he continued to stuff his face. However, his ravenous appearance seemed somewhat comical. It felt like he hated himself for not eating as much meat as Qin Wentian and his comrades did, and he feared that all the white tiger meat would soon run out.
Qin Wentian glanced at this monk with disdain. White tiger meat were naturally pure ingredients that had an extremely nutritional value, far surpassing medical pills and herbs. If white tiger meat were to appear in a particle world, it would definitely be a god-tier item. Mortals who ate it could even evolve their bloodline, modify their talent and potential, and overall improve their cultivation base.
"Junior Brother, what are you doing…?" At this moment, a voice drifted over. Buyu had his hands pressed together and was completely speechless at seeing Bujie's actions.
"Senior Brother, I promised that I would no longer peek at females when they're bathing, but I never said that I would abstain from meat. If I abstained from everything, what joy would there be in being a monk?" Bujie mumbled while he continued to gorge himself on meat. He even glanced at Buchen, "Senior Buchen, don't you agree?"
"Junior Brother, it's not right to put it that way. As monks, everything we do is all for the sake of cultivating our temperament and religious practice. Where has there ever been fun things?" Buchen solemnly spoke. His robes were extremely clean and tidy and he was also exceptionally good looking. He didn't seem like a monk at all.
"Senior Brother's lecture is very beneficial indeed. However, this meat…" How could Bujie willingly abstain from meat?
Buchen walked over and stared at the roasted white tiger meat before he glanced at Bujie. "What takes the most priority in the immortal realms? The answer is naturally one's cultivation. As disciples of the Askheart Temple, the sole purpose of our actions will ultimately be for the sake of strengthening ourselves. Eating meat may be against the rules, but since we are doing this to increase our cultivations, it can be considered that we didn't go against the doctrine of our religion. Sometimes, we have no choice but to sacrifice our rules and beliefs in order to achieve the Buddha path. It is just like the saying —'If I do not enter hell, who would?'"
"And?" Bujie blinked.
"Idiot. It means that it's all right to eat the white tiger meat."
After speaking, the monk Buchen also sat down, elegantly sliced off some meat and placing it in his mouth. His movements were filled with so much charm and grace that he mesmerized plenty of young females.
"Senior Brother really is the intelligent one." Bujie was completely impressed by this senior of his—to speak of such things with a straight face, as though backed by logic. Even the act of eating meat held so much wisdom behind it, and his movements were so pleasing to the eye. This senior brother of his was simply too awesome.
"Amitabha." Buyu could only shut his mouth and close his eyes, not bothering to say anything further.
The spectators felt a sense of crushing submission in their hearts when they stared at these two monks. The monks from the Askheart Temple are truly… admirable!
All three monks were highly renowned!
If I do not enter hell, who would?
Qin Wentian glanced at the two monks before him, his gaze flickering incessantly. What logic? He actually had nothing to say in response. Staring at the ravenous Bujie and the elegance of Buchen, the speed of their meat consumption was causing blood to drip from his heart.
The maidens from the Southern Phoenix Clan and the experts of the Battle Saint Tribe blinked their eyes. A moment later, an explosive flurry of movement occurred as everyone hastened their speed and madly grabbed their share of meat, causing the spectators to stare dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape.
This scene of seizing and devouring meat was somehow more fascinating than the earlier battle.
The meat from the few white tigers was soon devoured clean.
"Burp!"
Bujie let loose an audible burp. He licked the corners of his mouth and he looked like he still wished to continue eating as he suggested, "If there's more food in the future, remember to look for me, okay?"
Qin Wentian was completely defeated by this shameless monk. He then said, "No problem, you can accompany us to the other sacred academies. If there's a large-scale battle, we will definitely give you a share of the white tiger meat."
Bujie himself only had a cultivation base at the sixth level of immortal-foundation. Although he was shameless in nature, his combat prowess should be significantly strong. In addition, both his senior brothers were extremely powerful, so the three of them combined would be an exceedingly strong force. Since Bujie was being so brazen, naturally, Qin Wentian wouldn't be polite and refrain from asking for their help.
"No can do. There's a death grudge between you and the white tigers. If we participate in this, wouldn't they hate us to death as well?" Bujie asked.
"Didn't you say to share weal and woe before? In addition, you already ate the white tiger meat, so shouldn't you return the favor?" Qin Wentian responded.
"Brother, we naturally have to speak about the spirit of loyalty and self-sacrifice. However, the matters of life and death are of extreme importance—are you willing to watch as I give my all and eventually lose my life?" Bujie commented, displaying a thick-skinned attitude as he made a sad face.
"I'm willing to." Qin Wentian nodded.
"Since you're willing to, it means that you don't have me in your heart. Since this is the case, I'd rather not give my all and put my life at risk. Senior Brother, what do you think?" Bujie asked, shamelessly glancing at his Senior Brother Buchen.
"Junior Brother's words are logical." Buchen nodded sagely. Right now, Qin Wentian truly wanted to slap both of these shameless monks.
"However, since we ate the white tiger meat that Brother Qin has provided, even if we don't participate, we can accompany them to showcase our might. If we encounter any powerful individuals, we can just nicely ask them for a spar. Monks are all merciful by nature, there's no need to fight to our deaths in a spar," Buchen concluded with a straight face.
"Senior Brother is wise." Bujie was once again completely awed by this senior brother of his.
Qin Wentian also laughed. Although Buchen was shameless as well, he was still someone who would remember a favor.
"Well there's no denying that the meat was yummy. If one day, you manage to get some sky roc meat, you must remember me." Bujie's gaze focused on Jia Gu and the other sky rocs in the distance, and he started to drool. Although Jia Gu was heavily injured, his hearing was unimpeded. When he heard those words he almost coughed out blood. What was going on with this world?
They were a peak power from the Western Regions, a saint-grade Greater Demon race. Today, white tigers had become food for the humans, and after eating those white tigers, these humans now wanted to try eating sky rocs? Are all the people in the sacred academy crazy?
When he recalled his earlier arrogant attitude, as well as Qin Wentian's tyrannical combat prowess, it was clear why the man had declined from fighting him. The most likely reason was that Qin Wentian couldn't be bothered to, and so he'd used a group to besiege him, disdaining to waste his time fighting against Jia Gu alone. His pride naturally took a heavy blow after that incident.
"RUMBLE!" At that moment, a terrifying aura gushed forth from someone nearby. Everyone turned to see who it was—a holy maiden from the Southern Phoenix Clan who had a sixth-level immortal-foundation cultivation base. Right now, her immortal energy levels were rising and in an instant, boundless flames enveloped her body to the shock of everyone.
Was this a breakthrough…?
"Just by simply eating the white tiger meat can enable one to break through their cultivation? What a wondrous thing." Bujie was filled with endless envy. The experts who'd eaten the white tiger meat could all feel the evident changes in their bodies, but if one truly wanted to depend on just eating to break through, this was hardly the best solution. Perhaps, this holy maiden already had a certain level of insights and the white tiger meat had provided an added boost in energy, thus leading to an opportunity for her. This was the reason why she could enjoy a breakthrough.
Because white tiger meat contained the essence of energy from the heavens and earth. Her breakthrough had initially needed a large amount of energy and the flesh of the white tiger had basically provided just that. All these factors combined together culminated in a successful breakthrough for the holy maiden.
"The meat from saint beast white tigers, the essence of the heavens and earth are concentrated within; they are much more effective compared to immortal pills and treasures." Someone sighed, filled with some regret that he didn't get to try any.
"Let's go. We will head to the next academy," Qin Wentian ordered. There were still many of his comrades who had yet to arrive, including Qing`er. How could his heart be at ease?
"Okay." The expressions of everyone turned solemn, and the relaxed atmosphere following the victory they gained in the earlier battle had vanished. Their friends and comrades in the other three academies… they had no idea how they were faring and whether they were still alive.
Qin Wentian stood up and led the way, rushing straight in the direction of the Sky Connecting Realm.
Only through the Sky Connecting Realm would they be able to head to the other academies. Right now, he chose to go to the sacred academy he had originally been in as he was more familiar with its layout. He hoped that he would be able to find some more of his comrades.
Their group proceeded onwards, drawing the attention of many experts. When they saw Qin Wentian in the lead, gleams of sharpness could be seen in the eyes of many. It was actually none other than Qin Wentian and the experts of the Southern Phoenix Alliance! Apparently, they'd returned to seek out vengeance.
"Qingcheng." Qin Wentian embraced Mo Qingcheng, smiling at her. After that, his form expanded, becoming incomparably gigantic and blotted out the sky in an instant. Numerous experts in this academy instantly noticed his figure, their hearts trembling at the sight of him.
And on the shoulder of this giant, a flawlessly beautiful figure could be seen. It was a scene that was difficult to describe and was strangely disquieting!
"Let's go." Qin Wentian's voice boomed like heavenly thunder. As he stepped out, the entire academy trembled!
