Chapter 211: Disaster Beast Museum (Requesting Monthly Vote)
The Disaster Beast Museum, a colossal structure spanning over 100,000 square meters and towering hundreds of meters high, stood as the largest and most formidable building within the Ten Azure Colleges. Its streamlined, metallic frame resembled an ancient tree piercing the sky, a testament to both engineering and martial ambition.
The main entrance, dozens of meters tall, remained sealed except for a single, meter-high side door. As Huo Wanyang gazed up at the structure, he felt dwarfed by its scale, his breath catching at the sheer magnitude of it.
"Wanyang", Wu Yueze, the deputy dean of Azure Firmament’s First Institute, said gently, adjusting his crisp white suit. "Though you lost the Freshman Competition, victory lies ahead. Learn from this setback and keep moving forward."
Huo Wanyang exhaled slowly, his expression hardening. "You’re right, Dean. I was arrogant, relying too much on my innate physical gifts instead of training diligently. This loss opened my eyes. I’ll push myself harder to unlock my full potential and surpass Lin Qi."
Wu Yueze nodded approvingly. "Good. Today, we’ll examine the Earth-Shattering Dragon’s remains. Studying it will help you perfect your martial art, and soon you’ll be ready to ascend to the Third Circle."
As they spoke, Ao Feng, Duan Chuchu, Li Lei, and Lin Qi approached from a distance. Lin Qi, stepping off an electric cart, radiated quiet confidence.
The group exchanged greetings. "Congratulations on winning, Lin Qi!" Li Lei said with a laugh.
"How’d you get so strong? Training?" Duan Chuchu asked curiously.
Lin Qi shrugged. "Natural talent and consistent effort."
The others rolled their eyes at his humblebrag but smiled. For the first time, they conversed casually, their rivalries softening into camaraderie.
Meanwhile, Master Li, a silver-haired elder with a weathered face, greeted the deputy deans. "These young Academy Heads are promising", he said, scanning the group. "Let them in after the scans."
Each paid 5 million Xia Kingdom credits for entry. As Lin Qi stepped forward, Master Li observed him thoughtfully. "That Lin Qi… tremendous potential. I’ve seen generations rise and fall, and my instincts don’t lie."
Inside, the museum’s grand hall dazzled with polished floors and illuminated crystal walls projecting beast profiles. Lin Qi’s gaze locked onto a gigantic crimson bird—the Ember Finch, an eighth-grade Disaster Beast. Its wingspan blotted out the light, its gem-like eyes alive with menace.
"Only eighth and ninth-grade beasts reside here", Dean Liu explained. "Only top-tier martial artists can afford this experience. Here, even the Golden Vajra Tiger awaits your study."
They boarded a shuttle to the A06 sector. When the vehicle halted, the Golden Vajra Tiger loomed before them—a mountain of muscle and golden fur, its body a masterpiece of raw power.
"Studying its every detail here will refine your Divine Image", Dean Liu said. "While a basic imprint might take 36,000 mental strokes, perfection demands 360,000. This is why our academy remains unmatched."
Lin Qi stood in silent awe, the beast’s sheer presence igniting his ambition.
