Sea God Island.
Today was another beautiful day with fair winds and sunshine, occasionally seeing a Spirit Master treading on the lake water.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar suddenly echoed throughout Sea God Island, like an Earth Dragon turning over. The ground seemed to boil, and a yellowish-brown spiritual light enveloped the earth. Thick earth power surged like a tide towards a quiet room, where it seemed there was a giant gluttonous maw, constantly devouring the surrounding heaven and earth energy.
The huge commotion instantly attracted the elders stationed on Sea God Island, and figures rushed towards the location.
At the same time, outside, the yellowish-brown spiritual light had already covered the blue sky, as if the earth and sky had been inverted. Amidst the astonished gazes of countless students, on Sea God Lake, the thick earth spiritual light condensed into a huge, ferocious beast with massive ox horns on its head, a sheep's body, a human face, tiger teeth, and human claws. Its ferocious, bloody maw seemed to devour everything, and except for the giant ox-like horns, it was almost identical to the legendary gluttonous beast.
"Elder Xuan!"
Yan Shaozhe appeared outside the quiet room in Sea God Pavilion, his voice filled with joyful surprise.
Under the delighted gazes of several elders, the door of the quiet room slowly opened, and a white-haired old man walked out. Seeing him for the first time, if not for their knowledge of his identity, one might have mistaken him for an ordinary person, as there was no extraordinary aura emanating from him, save for his bright, clear eyes, making him seem like a regular old man.
Broke through? So fast?
Yan Shaozhe knew that his junior brother had once given Elder Xuan an Immortal Herb that was very suitable for him, and Elder Xuan had tried to condense a second Spirit core again. But he thought this would take at least a year and a half, not expecting a result in just over a month.
"You broke through?"
Yan Shaozhe asked, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Thanks to An Xiaozi." Elder Xuan's aged face broke into a brilliant smile.
This breakthrough was incredibly smooth.
Unbelievably smooth.
The Earth Dragon Golden Melon was almost perfectly compatible with him, not only strengthening his control over the earth element but also purifying the gluttonous bloodline within him. Although he was one step away from becoming a true gluttonous beast, the purity of his bloodline was greatly enhanced. The bottleneck he had been unable to overcome for many years was smoothly overcome in the following month, as if water naturally flowed into a channel, and he condensed his second Spirit core using the homologous resonance method. He did not encounter a single difficulty he had anticipated.
"Where is An Xiaozi?" Elder Xuan asked.
Yan Shaozhe informed him of what had happened during this period.
Speaking of the Death God Emissary.
"Alas, who would have thought that a mere five-ring Spirit King would possess such ability." Elder Xuan gently patted Yan Shaozhe's shoulder, a hint of sorrowful remembrance in his eyes.
Speaking of Elder Mu, he had been healed by Lord God Emissary and was now able to stand up. He had gone out to the Sun Moon Empire to search for traces of Evil Soul Masters and observe the Sun Moon Empire's spirit tools.
"An Xiaozi is truly a blessing to our Academy!" Elder Xuan exclaimed, "It's truly our ancestors blessing Shrek, sending such a child to our Academy. Since Elder Mu has gone to the Sun Moon Empire, I'll go see these children who are bringing glory to the Academy."
…
Round Robin Match Two.
The Shrek Academy team appeared in full for the first time.
"Qianling Academy?"
An Zhen murmured softly. It had appeared in the original work, but he didn't have much of an impression of this academy.
This was a team match.
One Spirit King, six Spirit Ancestors.
"Everyone from the reserve team except me is going up. Senior Sister Ling is the fallback." An Zhen was too lazy to fight, mainly because this lineup didn't pique his interest. The Pole Ice, close to a six-ring Spirit Emperor, even if it was just Ling Luochen alone, was enough to crush the opposing team.
"Both teams, please take the stage." The referee's voice rang out.
The audience instantly perked up. From the Fire King in the first match to the Ice Dragon Queen in the second, they were curious what shocking display Shrek would put on this time. Six seemingly young girls excitedly stepped onto the stage, yet no one dared to underestimate them. Starting from An Zhen, Huo Yutong continued to write legends, and age no longer seemed to define strength. Other academy teams also widened their eyes, watching intently. They had thought that such a monster was only An Zhen, but unexpectedly there was also a Huo Yutong, and now five more young ones were going up. It couldn't be that all five of them were like the previous two, could it?
Well, maybe. Because when Huo Yutong debuted, they had thought the same thing.
Compared to the excitement of the Shrek team's girls, the opposite Qianling Advanced Academy looked serious, as if under great pressure. Although An Zhen had not taken the stage, this time the opponent had sent a main team member. The previous two young ones were already so monstrous, so what about this one?
"Match start!"
"Nine treasures turn out with glazed tile!" Amidst countless shocked gazes, a beautiful nine-story pagoda appeared in the golden-haired girl's hand. "First: Speed, Third: Power, Fourth: Spirit!"
Three streams of light fell into the bodies of Huo Yutong and the other six, and everyone's aura instantly rose to another level.
On the high platform.
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!" The Star Luo Emperor, who had already known this news, showed a look of "surprise" in his eyes and congratulated the golden-haired middle-aged man beside him, "School Master Ning, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is about to produce another Nine-Colored Douluo!"
"Your Majesty overpraises, my daughter is only a four-ring Spirit Ancestor at present." Although he said this, the smile in Ning Yunzhi's eyes could not be hidden.
Gasps also rose from the audience. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was known throughout the world, but the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a Spirit that had only appeared in history, was being seen for the first time.
On the stage.
Seeing the Spirit displayed by the opponent, the Qianling Academy captain, who stood like a spear, immediately felt immense pressure. It was actually such a legendary super support system Spirit. But fortunately, its true power, capable of making people despair, only manifested at higher ranks. For now, its function was the same as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Stick to the original plan!" the Qianling Academy captain shouted. The four male members of the team stood in front of him. Their Spirits were the same, a mutated Lingxi Shield Spirit. Their bodies instantly expanded, and their right arms formed a massive shield. Their first spirit ring lit up, and a dark yellow spiritual light covered them, connecting them like a city wall.
At the same time, a brilliant silver long spear appeared behind the Qianling Academy captain. A somewhat familiar situation made Huo Yutong and the others recall Chen Zifeng's Chasing Soul Sword. But equally a Spirit King, this captain's spirit rings were two yellow and three purple.
"Roar~"
Two roars sounded, and a giant blue bear and a fiery tiger appeared in front of the two girls at the very back of the Qianling Academy team.
"Spirit Mimicry."
Huo Yutong's voice echoed in the girls' ears, "Choosing a Spirit Beast that matches your Spirit for your first spirit ring has a chance of success. Although the burden is relatively small, their true bodies are very fragile."
But, to play with Beast Spirits in front of her? And an ice-type one at that.
"Roar!"
The Ice Dragon King Spirit aura was released.
First Spirit Ability, Spirit Interference.
A high and domineering dragon roar sounded. The shield, like a city wall, glowed with a dark yellow spiritual light, absorbing much of the pressure, but Huo Yutong's powerful mental force bypassed it from the air, hitting the two girls. The blue giant bear and the fiery tiger instantly seemed to suffer critical hits, their bodies becoming much more ethereal.
"Light of the Goddess Butterfly!" Brilliant light shone from the wings of the Light Goddess Butterfly. Dense rays of light fell from the sky like a rain of bullets, striking the opponent's four defensive Spirit Masters.
"Roar!" The roar of a fiery dragon sounded, and yellow, yellow, and purple spirit rings appeared. The first two spirit rings lit up one after another, and flames coiled around Wu Feng, like a hunting fiery dragon. Her dragon claws fiercely slammed onto the Lingxi Shield. On the other side, a silver light, like a swimming dragon, fiercely struck the Lingxi Shield. The silver-haired girl held a long spear, like a Valkyrie commanding the battlefield.
Huo Yutong's three spirit rings appeared beneath her feet. The seemingly weak and harmless ten-year spirit ring lit up, activating Spirit Detection, Spirit Sharing, and Soul Impact.
"Three Lives Soul Cauldron." Xiao Xiao raised her fair little hand, and her first spirit ring lit up beneath her feet, "Cauldron Quake!"
"Dream on!"
The four Lingxi Shield Spirit Masters roared, their fourth spirit rings lighting up. Countless dark yellow light-shadows emerged from their shields. The impregnable city wall transformed into a mountain that aimed to block everything. But the next moment, one of the Lingxi Shield Spirit Masters, to the surprise of his companions, had his head struck as if by a heavy hammer, bleeding from all seven orifices, and his massive body plummeted straight down.
Just as the attack began, the defense was instantly torn open. The sharp spear tip spat out silver light, and the fiery dragon claws were imbued with violent flames. At the same time, a black cauldron smashed down, and the terrifying vibration directly distorted the air.
"Boring."
The Ice Queen stood quietly at the edge of the arena, her fair, delicate hand gripping an ice crystal staff. In front of her, within a small ice mountain, a glowing long spear continuously chiseled the ice with its tip. Five spirit rings shimmered on it, lighting up one after another. She had just achieved some results, but the next second, Ling Luochen raised her staff, and the ice mountain was thickened by another layer.
Ling Luochen felt very bored.
According to the plan, she wouldn't make a move until all six of Huo Yutong's group failed, but she hadn't expected the opposing captain to target her right away. She naturally knew how to counter this Spirit, which was somewhat similar to the Chasing Soul Sword. Her cultivation was already higher than the opponent's, and now that she had achieved Pole Ice, fighting him was like playing a game.
"Shen Ce!" The girl behind Qianling's captain, whose Spirit was the Fiery Tiger, had now recovered from the Spirit Interference and anxiously called out to her captain. They had a very powerful combination ability that they hadn't used before, saving it for when they encountered a strong enemy. Her Fiery Tiger could amplify the opponent's Thousand Strike Spear.
"I…" Qianling Academy captain Shen Ce was on the verge of tears. According to the plan, they were supposed to use their combination ability right away, but the opponent suddenly used a move that put the two girls behind him in a bad state. He then thought of tangling with the opponent's main team member to prevent her from attacking and buy some time. But he hadn't expected that once the Thousand Strike Spear went out, it wouldn't come back.
His thinking was correct, but Ling Luochen's strength far exceeded their imagination.
