My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 57

57: Chapter 57: Entrance Exam Trial, Shock Across the Arena!

57: Chapter 57: Entrance Exam Trial, Shock Across the Arena!

Deathly silence.

Absolute silence enveloped the entire arena.

The freshmen’s mouths were still wide open in shock, but the seniors in the stands had already risen to their feet in unison.

If there was just a disturbance in the freshman section earlier, now the whole training ground was boiling!

“Holy crap, these freshmen are gonna flip the heavens!”
“Damn it, if we don’t beat the shit out of him today, it means he had a clean dump!”
“Principal!

Are you just going to let this slide?!”
Long Zhenguo held his forehead, both exasperated and amused.

This kid…

Actually dragged the seniors right into the line of fire!

But then he thought about it…

If you want to prove your worth, you can’t just fight people at your own level.

“Interesting…”
Long Zhenguo narrowed his eyes.

Not only did he refuse to intervene, he even waved his hand and cast a barrier over the whole training ground.

At the same time, the staff member’s voice blasted through the sound system for all to hear:
“After consideration by the school, given Gu Xing’s egregious behavior, anyone inside the barrier is free to take action!”
As soon as he finished, this Extraordinary Level staff member flashed out of the barrier.

No joke-thousands of enraged genius students, if he got caught up in that, he’d be done for!

Gu Xing looked at the densely packed students below, all glaring at him like they wanted to eat him alive, and instinctively swallowed hard.

Even though he trusted Liu Li’s strength, with so many angry eyes glaring at them…

Honestly, who wouldn’t be nervous in this situation?

However.

Aside from the crowd of classmates glaring daggers at him-
Several figures swiftly jumped onto the stage, lining up beside Gu Xing.

Shen Ruoxue, Ying Bing, Qin Tian, Gu Qianqian, Tang Xinrou…

“Brother Xing, I give this move a perfect score!”
Qin Tian grinned wide, with his war treant bodyguard posted behind him.

“Just so we’re clear, at most I can help hold off three to five Extraordinary Level Guardian Beasts…”
Ying Bing’s expression was grave.

She was indeed stronger than Qin Tian, but besides the freshmen here-
There were quite a few seniors at Extraordinary Tier Three, even Tier Four.

She had no idea how many she could hold off herself!

Either way, she was going to do everything she could to help Gu Xing.

But Qin Tian’s little crew didn’t have that kind of mental strength.

Facing the vicious crowd, their legs were trembling like leaves in the wind:
“T-T-Tian Bro…

Are we gonna get beaten to death?”
“I doubt we’ll actually die, the principal’s watching.

But I think we’ll be half-crippled for sure!”
“Don’t worry, the school has a medical team-we won’t die!”
“The way you say that just makes me even more scared!”
However.

Some people were unbelievably excited by the chaos.

Right now, Tang Xinrou’s face was glowing with excitement.

“Babe!

This is so wild!

I love you!”
Whoosh-
Liu Li, Ying Bing, and Shen Ruoxue’s gazes instantly locked onto her.

“She’s just joking!”
Gu Qianqian dashed forward, slapped a hand over her bestie’s mouth, and dragged her to the corner.

Her gentle eyes now flashed with icy light, her lowered voice filled with murderous intent:
“Tang Xinrou!

If you dare spout nonsense again, I’ll kill you!!!”
Tang Xinrou was so startled by the sudden killing intent that she nodded frantically like a pecking chick.

Only after making sure her loose-tongued bestie had finally calmed down did Gu Qianqian let go, returned to her usual self, and walked back to Gu Xing’s side.

“Xiao Xing, what’s your plan?”
“Just us against thousands of students…

that’s kinda tough!”
Gu Qianqian put it mildly.

Honestly, it wasn’t just tough-it was a total power gap!

No matter how strong Gu Xing was, sheer numbers could crush him.

What’s more…

Gu Qianqian’s gaze swept over several seniors in the front row whose aura was much stronger, and her heart sank.

Those few Extraordinary Tier Five monsters were just standing there, arms crossed and watching the show, but the pressure from their mere presence made it hard to breathe.

Not to mention the dozens of Tier Three and Tier Four powerhouses in the crowd below.

Any one of them would be top talents at other academies!

And her own little brother…

He managed to piss off all of them!

However.

Gu Xing suddenly stepped forward, shielding everyone behind him.

“Don’t do anything!

This is the test I promised Principal Long-I have to complete it on my own!”
“But…”
Shen Ruoxue tried to speak up.

She wanted to say more, but Gu Xing raised his hand to stop her.

“Relax!

I never do things I’m not sure about!”
After saying that, Gu Xing swept his gaze over the dense crowd, speaking calmly:
“Sovereign!”
Silvery white light burst from Gu Xing’s eyes, and a kingly aura immediately swept over the arena.

With Liu Li’s current Attributes-
Liu Li in Blazing Angel Form had enough attack to crush any student here!

So for Liu Li, offense was already more than enough.

But…

Defense was the issue.

Though Divine Protection could absolutely block one attack-
But with so many students here…

It’s just too much!

Once the fight breaks out, Liu Li could slip up and get overwhelmed.

So Gu Xing needed to fill the defensive gap himself.

“Grant Protection!”
A blue shield instantly covered Liu Li’s body.

And on top of that-
The Blazing Angel Flame roared up, forming a second layer of fire shield.

Seeing this, Gu Xing nodded contentedly.

Ordinary attacks would be blocked by the outermost Flame Shield.

If a few attacks managed to break through, his Shield of Protection was there as backup.

“Bing Sis, are we seriously not helping?”
Behind Gu Xing, Qin Tian spoke in a low voice.

Ying Bing paused, turning her eyes to the angel floating in the sky.

She remembered that back at the Winner’s, even the Profound Frost Ice Phoenix had felt terror at the angel’s aura.

“No need!

I trust him!”
Seeing Ying Bing’s confidence, Qin Tian could only step back.

He had no idea where her faith came from.

But for now, all he could do was watch Gu Xing stride into the dark crowd alone.

“Heh, you’ve got balls!”
Wang Teng pushed through the crowd to the front, a twisted smile on his face.

“If Ying Bing and the others helped you, we’d have a tough fight.

But you actually walked up here alone…”
“Sure, we can’t kill you here, but if we beat you half to death, I doubt the principal will care!”
Wang Teng’s followers joined in:
“Yeah, you called us trash?

Let’s see what guts you have to say that!”
A glint of coldness flashed in Gu Xing’s eyes.

He was just looking for a target, and now one had jumped out by himself!

Couldn’t be more perfect!

“Liu Li, go!”
At Gu Xing’s command, Liu Li in midair suddenly burst with crimson-gold light.

All eight wings spread wide, full-on Blazing Angel Form!

“Boom-”
A crimson-gold fireball dropped from the sky, aiming straight at Wang Teng’s position.

Wang Teng’s Extraordinary Tier One Guardian Beast didn’t even have time to react-instantly wiped out.

The whole arena fell silent again.

Gu Xing stood with hands behind his back, his silvery eyes sweeping the dumbstruck crowd:
“Continue?!”
