145 Return II (2/2)
”You'll find out then.” the peak master replied, as he got up to mash up some plants. As for Ye Qin and Wang Tao, they were puzzled by the peak master's suggestion.
There weren't any events happening within the academy, they had no idea what was happening at the end of the week after, but since it was so, they would stay as they were told.
***********
Roar! Roar!
A large tortoise that resembled a dragon roared. On its back, five different elements erupted all at once, aiming for the nine monsters hundreds of meters away.
In the skies, of a large open field filled with nothing but an endless meadow and mountains, nine figures could be seen in the distance, across from the dragon-like tortoise.
Of the nine figures, seven of them were large, eastern divine dragons that were over twenty meters in length each. The last two, were tigers. A golden tiger with black wings, as well as a tigress that was purple from head to toe.
On the ground, three humans were seen standing next to each other. One of them was an old man, while the other two were young men who weren't even twenty years of age.
”You two have improved since then.” the old man spoke.
”Of course, with you helping us train everyday, it would be weird if we didn't.” one of the two young men replied.
After that brief exchange, the three humans stopped speaking and looked up to observe the battle above.
The dragon-like tortoise was surrounded in five elements. The seven dragons each held a different element. When the attack of the tortoise was coming, they rotated to cancel it out, by using a stronger element with the advantage.
Of course, this advantage didn't mean much, in the face of a much stronger opponent. The seven dragons worked together to neutralise the five elements, while the golden and purple tigers attacked.
Whoosh!
A dual beam of golden-blue as well as purple, fused together and went straight for the tortoise. In front of it, a wall of earth and wood stood erect in thin air, blocking the beam.
Crack! Crack!
The wall was shaking, as it slowly began to crumble under the continuous flow of energy from the two tigers. The seven dragons roared, they came together and fired off a beam that contained all their elements in one, aiming straight for the tortoise.
Bang!
The wall of earth was pierced through, two beams of energy were now coming for it from different directions. As the two beams gradually came closer, the tortoise moved its body, and tucked itself inside its shell.
Bang! Whizz!
The twin beams hit the tortoise at the same time. In the air, the tortoise's shell was struck. However, even under the combined might of nine monsters, its shell was completely unscathed. It's shell was only pushed back, by a few meters.
Its defence was simply astonishing. It seemed as though no attack could penetrate its absolute defence. Once the two beams of energy dispersed, its legs, tail, and head popped out of its shell, returning to its former glory.
