Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 898 You predicted my prediction, and I predicted yours.
The Demon King is ultimately a plant-type soul beast, and plant-type soul beasts, unless they are fire-attribute cabbages like the Fiery Apricot, are rarely unafraid of flames, not even the Demon King.

Although ordinary flames could not really harm it, the incendiary bombs burning on its spreading vines, crackling and popping, were no problem.

The incendiary bombs that Shrek threw out at this moment were all carefully prepared, with effects similar to napalm. They were not only extremely sticky, but also almost impossible to destroy with water. They were practically made specifically to counter the Demon King's vine siege tactics.

Just as Shi Xing was watching as one of the shortest-diameter Wan Yao Wang vines was burned off, and large numbers of soul beasts that were stepping on the vines fell from the sky towards Shrek City, a few drops of cool water splashed onto his face.

"Huh? It's raining?"

Shi Xing subconsciously opened his mouth, looked up, and saw a thick, dark cloud that almost no light could penetrate.

"Crash, lala, lala -"

The light drizzle turned into a downpour in just a few breaths, and the figure of the Hell Demon Dragon King Zi Ji could be seen faintly in the thick dark clouds.

"Ouch—it's so cold!"

An ordinary Shrek City Guard auxiliary soldier shivered, his whole body trembling with cold. Although the Shrek City Guard soldiers, who were also soul masters, did not react as violently as the auxiliary soldier due to their physical condition, they all felt a chill.

"Not good! Everyone, raise your soul-guided shields! All auxiliary soldiers, get into the shields closest to you!"

Shi Xing shouted loudly, realizing what the Hell Demon Dragon King Zi Ji was doing. Manipulating clouds and rain was one of the things that dragons were best at. The Hell Demon Dragon King Zi Ji's attribute was Yin Water, which was formed by the condensation of dark and water attributes. The ground soul guide device trap that destroyed the south city wall was her masterpiece.

This time, Zi Ji clearly changed her strategy of diverting the river's water to attack Shrek Academy. Instead, she chose to use the power of Yin Water to condense a torrential rain and pour it down on Shrek Academy and its city walls. This greatly reduced the combat power of the ordinary auxiliary soldiers while also extinguishing the incendiary bombs!
Yes, although the incendiary bombs prepared by Shrek Academy could not be destroyed by ordinary water, they were powerless against the torrential rain of dark water formed by the fusion of dark attribute power.

The torrential rain, like millions of beans, pelted Shrek City inside and out, extinguishing the raging flames on the vines. While the rain chilled many ten-year-old soul beasts to the bone, the hundred-year and thousand-year-old soul beasts were largely unaffected. In fact, with their flames extinguished, they charged even more frantically towards the top of Shrek City!

not good!

Shi Xing's expression changed instantly. The Star Dou Forest side had long anticipated that he would anticipate the Star Dou Forest side's prediction!

There is clearly a reason why the Demon King and the Hell Dragon King joined forces to take charge of the two cities in the northwest. The biggest reason is that the Demon King's vines can greatly reduce the difficulty of attacking the city, but he is afraid of fire. Meanwhile, Zi Ji's ability to manipulate clouds and rain can perfectly make up for the Demon King's disadvantages!
In just half an incense stick's time, the situation in Shrek City took a sharp turn for the worse! Needless to say, the northwest and north walls were no exception. Having lost the incendiary bombs, a powerful weapon against the Demon King's vines, the soul beasts began to use the vines as ladders to attack the city with increasing impunity, launching an assault on the two walls.

Only at the eastern city wall, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo fought against Xiong Jun together, but they were still struggling. Xiong Jun's attack and defense were top-tier on the continent. Although Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo were good at offense and defense respectively, unfortunately, they were still a step behind Xiong Jun in their respective areas of expertise!
Yes, even the Valkyrie Xianlin'er's full-force attack had to give way to Xiong Jun's Sky-Tearing Claw. Even Qian Duoduo's Wulong Shield paled in comparison to Xiong Jun's thick, dark golden mane and thick layer of fat!
As for the southern city wall, even with Elder Song's restraint, the pressure on the southern city wall was immense, thanks to Jade Swan Biji as the main figure and the Jade Swan clan personally treating the patients.

One after another, fixed-position soul-guided shells were fired, seemingly sending dozens or even hundreds of soul beasts flying everywhere. However, after a flash of green light, only 70-80% of the soul beasts were able to stand up again as if they had not been injured, and charge towards the city wall. How could this not be terrifying?
The situation is rapidly turning against Shrek.

On the city wall, the figures of soul beasts appeared more and more frequently, and more and more Shrek City Guards had no choice but to take out the close combat soul tools issued by the academy and slash at the soul beasts that rushed up the city wall.

The resurgence of Zi Ji brought unexpected changes to the entire battlefield. Although the losses suffered by the beast army were also extremely heavy, it was all worth it as long as Shrek Academy could be destroyed!
From the start of the beast tide until now, only a full day and night have passed. Even if the three great empires can send reinforcements, it will take at least one or two days. Destroying Shrek Academy within this timeframe will be enough!

The beasts' assessment of Shrek was not entirely unfounded. If it weren't for the assistance of several beasts, the beast horde would have had no chance of breaking through Shrek City's defenses on its own.

However, with the cooperation and harassment of the four ferocious beasts, the situation instantly reversed, and Shrek City became the one in grave danger.

However, this huge advantage did not last long. Soon, a series of disturbances spread from the very end of the beast tide. It seemed that the soul beasts in the northwest two cities had been attacked by an unknown force!

How can this be?

Struggling to discern the message amidst the clamor of the beast tide, the Demon King's eyes darted around, eventually landing on his back, gazing at the supposed location of the ambush.

At this moment, at the very end of the beast tide, the roars of numerous soul beasts were deafening, and beams of bright red laser light struck the soul beasts, leaving them covered in wounds as they attempted to counterattack.

The King of Ten Thousand Demons continued to look upwards, and the scene he saw there was unforgettable for him.

It was a sea of ​​the dead, with countless skeletons surging towards the beast tide like the sea itself. Countless undead creatures had a string of baby bottles hanging from their ribs, one hand wielding a melee soul tool, the other a soul-guided blast ray gun, and ghostly flames flickering within their skulls.
