That strange cry was like a thunderous roar right by their ears. Thankfully, Tang Miao had already erected a wall of ice, blocking the initial wave. Otherwise, ringing in his ears would have been a certainty.
After the roar, the flat ground in the center of the swamp lake suddenly rose!
It completely detached from the swamp surface and elevated, revealing its much larger body hidden deep beneath the mire. It was so enormous that it could stir up a terrifying storm in this dead-silent swamp lake!
As the black creature stood up, the flat ground slowly began to tilt. By the time the black creature was fully upright, the 'flat ground' was no longer flat; it was clearly the creature's back!
Tang Miao completely ignored its robust build and said to Little Black, "Go, deal with it."
That's right, White Tiger turned into Black Tiger, and it had the honor of receiving a new name.
After receiving Tang Miao's command, Little Black charged forward.
Li Man had just recovered from the shock of Tang Miao's powerful summoned beast appearing when she felt another wave of chilling ice magic. It wasn't until Little Black charged out that the ice wall dissipated... Li Man was completely flustered. She looked at Tang Miao with an incredulous expression and asked, "You... your ice magic, it can't be high-tier too, can it?"
"Yes, that's right." Tang Miao didn't show any false modesty and nodded in affirmation.
"My goodness..." Li Man had learned on the way here that Tang Miao was still a student! And only twenty years old, with two high-tier elements... This blow was truly a heavy one.
Of course, Tang Miao hadn't displayed his lightning element. Otherwise, this boisterous woman would probably have been completely overwhelmed.
"Are you human or a monster...?"
It was no wonder Li Man was so shocked. Although some aristocratic families and the Judgment Authority fully cultivated exceptionally talented juniors, allowing them to reach this realm at such an age, no major power would ever let a junior take such risks.
Therefore, Tang Miao certainly didn't come from any major power... But precisely because of this, Li Man was so astonished that her mouth hung open. Tang Miao waved his hand and smiled, "Don't be so surprised. After all, your big brother is going to be the strongest man in the world someday."
If anyone else who was still messing around in the academy had said that, Li Man would probably have slapped him awake on the spot!
But what Tang Miao said, she didn't doubt at all... On the contrary, she firmly believed that it would all come true!
"Moo!"
Just as Tang Miao and Li Man were bantering, the Armored Shell Giant Lizard, currently battling Little Black, seemed to be struggling? It let out another strange cry... Li Man looked over at the sound and saw the Armored Shell Giant Lizard being toyed with by the Shadow Demon Tiger, like a Warrior-level demon beast.
"This..."
Before Li Man could finish her exclamation, Tang Miao patted her firm, shapely backside and said, "What 'this'? We've got work to do!"
Suddenly taken advantage of again, Li Man glared at Tang Miao with displeasure. Seeing his serious gaze, she turned back with a hint of confusion... Only to see countless Giant Skeletal Lizards and Lizard-headed Giant Demons charging towards them from the west!
"Oh no, it's summoning its companions!"
"Slap~"
After Li Man's surprised cry, her backside received another slap. Li Man instantly exploded in fury, "You bastard, do you really think I don't have a temper!?"
If it weren't for the countless Lizard-headed Giant Demons charging in, Li Man would have already wanted to make Tang Miao understand the strength of this fiery little girl!
"It felt so good, I couldn't help myself..." Tang Miao smiled apologetically.
But Li Man saw at a glance that this guy had no intention of admitting his mistake whatsoever!
"What do we do?"
However, she couldn't reason with Tang Miao right now. The most important thing was that her magic energy hadn't recovered, and she couldn't cast high-tier magic... Tang Miao showed no fear, only a little surprise! So many lizards had died by his hand, yet he didn't expect so many more to pop up.
"Between humans and demon beasts, besides slaughter, can there be any reasoning?"
After responding, Tang Miao's feet glowed with a blue-green constellation.
"Icebound Coffin!"
In an instant, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and even the ground beneath Tang Miao's feet began to freeze.
Then, a blue-green light shot out towards the Lizard-headed Giant Demons. In a flash, the front-row Lizard-headed Giant Demons began to turn into ice sculptures. However, the ice seal up wasn't just that; after all, this was high-tier magic!
The power of the ice element seemed endless, extending backward continuously. Whether it was Lizard-headed Giant Demons or Giant Skeletal Lizards, under the impact of this energy, they all turned into ice sculptures, then "CRACK!" they shattered directly... It was just that Li Man had been surprised so many times today, otherwise, at this sight, she would probably have gasped again!
This person was truly incredibly powerful, to the point of being abnormal... "CRACK!"
"..."
"CRACK!"
But even high-tier ice magic didn't completely shatter all the demon beasts. After all, the number of these lizards was simply too, too many!
"Damn it, why are there still so many!" Tang Miao muttered, looking back at the Shadow Demon Wolf still fighting the Armored Shell Giant Lizard. "Dumb cat, if you drag this out any longer, Daddy won't give you food tonight!"
After speaking, Tang Miao turned back and continuously unleashed his lightning, spatial, and low- and mid-tier ice magic.
Although he could also cast high-tier lightning magic, the casting speed was still a bit embarrassing. So, Tang Miao didn't cast his high-tier lightning magic.
But even so, Li Man was filled with admiration!
Moreover, after seeing Tang Miao use summoning and ice magic, and then lightning and spatial magic, she was a bit puzzled. Could it be that the pervert in front of her wasn't a high-tier mage, but a super-tier mage?
However, she found this extremely difficult to accept... After all, for him to reach the realm of a high-tier mage at his age was already incredibly impressive. Li Man no longer considered their immediate danger. With Tang Miao's bombardment, he could definitely buy the Shadow Demon Tiger enough time to kill the Armored Shell Giant Lizard. As soon as the Armored Shell Giant Lizard died, the lizard pack would probably immediately turn and flee.
Tang Miao, however, was drenched in sweat. Although for him, annihilating this group of Lizard-headed Giant Demons was just a matter of one skill.
However, these servant-level demon beasts and warrior-level demon beasts, after receiving a call from their leader, were all fearless!
And their numbers were so vast that their end was almost invisible, which was what gave him the biggest headache.
Humans weren't truly weak. A walking magic artillery like Tang Miao was enough to kill thousands of Lizard-headed Giant Demons by himself. But after killing over a thousand, the Lizard-headed Giant Demons still came endlessly, and his magic energy would eventually run out. When that happened, it would be the countdown to death!
