The young man stood in the center of the competition stage, his gaze sweeping calmly across the entire audience before he slowly opened his mouth. His voice was clear and gentle, like a spring breeze brushing across the surface of a lake.
"Welcome, guests. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Feng, and I am the dean of this academy."
Right at this moment, Du Busi suddenly remembered—was not the statue he saw when they had just landed clearly none other than Lin Feng right before him?
Originally, he had thought that statue was similar to the one at the other pirated Shrek Academy, portraying the founding dean. He never expected the prototype to actually appear right before his eyes.
To be able to gather so many terrifying monsters within the same academy, and to cultivate so many top-tier powerhouses... Just what kind of person was this Dean Lin Feng?
Du Busi hands unconsciously tightened around the armrests of his seat, his gaze filled with awe.
At the same time, Di Tian, sitting in the corner of the regular spectator seats, also cast his gaze onto Lin Feng.
The moment he looked at Lin Feng, his body suddenly stiffened.
An inexplicable sense of fear surged from the depths of his Soul, instantly flooding his entire body like a cold tide.
His hands unconsciously began to tremble, and even his breathing grew somewhat hurried.
Di Tian pupils contracted violently as his gaze stared fixedly at the figure in white on the competition stage, his heart filled with disbelief.
He could be certain that there was no Dragon Clan Bloodline aura on Lin Feng body that could suppress him, and he could completely feel no Spirit Power fluctuations or pressure emanating from Lin Feng.
Yet just such a person, merely standing there, merely by taking a single glance at the other party, caused that bone-deep fear to emerge automatically like an instinct.
This feeling... Di Tian had never experienced it before.
It felt as if what stood before him was not a human, but some existence of a higher dimension.
Di Tian took a deep breath, trying to steady his mind, only to find that his hands were still trembling slightly.
He clenched his teeth, shifted his gaze away from Lin Feng, and swept it across the powerhouses in other directions. Teacher Yun Ming, Chen Xinjie, Teacher Guan Yue, Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu, and others—the auras on these people were quite formidable. Even though they were concealed, he was still able to capture that hidden sharp edge. After all, they had only concealed a portion, not all of it. Yet just the exposed portion made Di Tian feel that any of these people could threaten him.
Di Tian brows furrowed tightly, the string in his heart pulling tighter and tighter.
He had originally thought that with his strength, he could already be considered second to none throughout the entire Douluo Continent, not to mention that he still possessed trump cards like the Dragon God Claw.
Yet now, after sweeping his gaze in a circle, he discovered that on this spectator seating area, quite a few people gave him a rather dangerous feeling.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuena Gu Yuena, sitting not far away from him, felt a shock in her heart that was by no means less than the shock felt by Di Tian.
As the Silver Dragon King and an existence born after the splitting of the Dragon God, the perception of power possessed by Gu Yuena Gu Yuena was far sharper and more profound than Di Tian.
She could clearly feel that the auras emanating from Teacher Yun Ming, Chen Xinjie, Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu, and others had already surpassed the limits of Douluo Continent and reached the level of Divine Rank.
Although the intensity of those auras was roughly equivalent to the level of ordinary divine attendants, in the World of Douluo Continent, the appearance of Divine Rank powerhouses was already a completely counter-intuitive matter.
That aside, has the Douluo God Realm gone to hell? With so many Divine Rank powerhouses, even if they were just divine attendants, why did not the Douluo God Realm have the slightest reaction to this?
Could it be that they were just ignoring it like the divine war from ten thousand years ago?
A flash of complicated light crossed the purple eyes of Gu Yuena Gu Yuena. She fell silent for a long time, then silently thought in her heart: It seems that during these years while she was recuperating from her injuries, too many changes had taken place in this World that she did not know about.
Right at this moment, Gu Yuena Gu Yuena suddenly sensed an anomaly. Her attention was drawn toward the direction of the competition stage, where an extremely rich aura of life had begun to permeate at some unknown time.
The concentration of that life aura was even much richer than the Lake of Life where she used to live.
The pupils of Gu Yuena Gu Yuena constricted slightly. Although she did not know the reason, she was certain that all of this must be related to this Dean Lin Feng.
Just how many things that she could not comprehend were still hidden within this academy?
The purple eyes of Gu Yuena Gu Yuena narrowed slightly, her gaze filled with deep doubt.
Merely having arrived at this academy for less than a few days, her cognition had already been subverted countless times.
Gu Yuena Gu Yuena remained silent, her gaze lowered, while countless unanswerable questions surged in her heart.
Right at this moment, Lin Feng spoke once more.
His voice remained as clear and gentle as before, yet it carried a power that made people unconsciously quiet down.
"The Five Extremes Grand Competition is a major grand event of Shrek Academy."
"Today, on behalf of the academy, I invite everyone to enjoy this grand celebration together."
After finishing these words, Lin Feng raised his right hand slightly, his slender fingers tapping lightly in the air.
Hum—!!
A slight, lingering humming sound rang out.
Everyone saw that above the spectator seating area, streams of light golden light emerged out of thin air. Those lights seemed as if they were outlined by an invisible brush, slowly condensing, intertwining, and extending in the air, finally forming several huge circular light rings.
Those light rings floated above the spectator area, and each light ring reflected a completely different scene.
In the light ring on the far left, the scene of Douluo Continent was reflected—mountains and rivers, cities and villages, in 8k resolution.
Figures slowly emerged within the light ring.
They were Bei Bei and Teacher Yan Shaozhe and others who were still beneath the Golden Ancient Tree, Emperor Xu Jiawei and others within the Star Luo Empire imperial palace, and Duke White Tiger Dai Hao and others wearing military attire and currently on the battlefield.
The Heavenly Soul Emperor and others located in the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Douling Emperor and others located in the Douling Empire, the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, Jing Hongchen, Kong Deming, and others.
Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and others within the Holy Spirit Cult, Xuan Zi who was searching for a way out, and Zhou Yi who was furiously raging impotently.
The faces of these people were clearly presented within the light ring, and the expression and demeanor of everyone could be seen clearly.
Xiao Hongchen looked at this scene before him, his eyes widened greatly. Everyone in the entire Douluo Continent had appeared?
Right after that, the second light ring slowly lit up.
The scene reflected within that light ring was distinctly different, carrying a more grand and sacred aura, as if it came from a higher-level plane.
Several figures appeared within the light ring.
Standing at the very front were a man and a woman. The man had a handsome appearance and carried a majesty belonging to a superior being, while the woman had a very beautiful appearance and a scorpion braid—they were Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Behind them, two more figures stood side by side. One of them had an aura of destruction permeating their entire body with a cold and indifferent gaze, while the other was surrounded by a rich force of life with a gentle and dignified face—they were the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, along with the rest of the gods.
The gaze of Gu Yuena Gu Yuena fell upon that light ring, churning up stormy seas within her purple eyes.
Divine Realm—Lin Feng was actually able to contact the Divine Realm?
Then the third light ring lit up.
That was a pitch-black and gloomy space, as if shrouded by endless darkness, making people feel unsettled just by taking a glance at it—it was the Abyss Monarch and others.
The fourth light ring also lit up accordingly.
That was a space as crimson as blood, with a figure quietly floating within it, exuding a rich and intense blood-colored light around their body, carrying an aura that seemed to devour everything—it was the Crimson Mother and others.
Then, the fifth light ring also lit up.
That was a sea of stars, within which appeared a person—it was Long Tianyang, who was currently staying within the Tianma Gemini stars.
