Star Dou Great Forest is the most extensive and ancient gathering ce for Spirit Beasts on Tang Sect Continent. As far as the eye can see, towering ancient trees stand side by side, their branches intertwining and spreading out, enveloped in a green mist that exudes a vibrant, life-affirming aura. "Roar-" A roar shattered the forest''s tranquil atmosphere. A massive ck shadow leaped through the trees, causingrge swathes of ancient trees to fall like wheat stalks on either side. This was a Spirit Beast that resembled a gori, its body covered in steel-like brown-ck fur. Despite running on all fours, its shoulder height exceeded seven meters, and its physique was incredibly robust, its muscles more solid than granite, each bulge resembling a small hill. Adamantine Baboon, Two Thousand Years of Cultivation. The Adamantine Baboon was renowned among Spirit Beasts for two reasons. First, as thergest primate Spirit Beast, its brute strength endowed it with an unparalleled physique, granting it exceptional power, speed, attack, and defense. Its only w was theck of ranged attack capabilities. Second, despite being a primate, the Adamantine Baboon possessed unusually low intelligence, acting purely on instinct. It was brutal, bloodthirsty, and domineering, ready to fight at the slightest provocation, causing many Spirit Beasts to avoid it. However, this Adamantine Baboon, known for its brute force, was now fleeing! Its bright yellow eyes, once filled with ferocity and cruelty, now reflected fear and anxiety. The Adamantine Baboon kept ncing back, as if something indescribable and monstrous was pursuing it. "First Soul Skill, Radiant Spirit Array." A clear and resonant voice suddenly rang out. A massive, radiant seven-pointed star array instantly appeared above the Adamantine Baboon''s head, its light like a river of stars, as if the world''s splendor and decay were all dissolving. As it descended from the clouds, it seemed as if a celestial being was painting with a brush, leaving trails of light in the air. "Roar!" The radiance approached, and the Adamantine Baboon decisively stopped fleeing, covering its vulnerable spots with its hands. The light beams, cold and metallic, pierced through the Adamantine Baboon''s defensive arms, splitting them like a door being violently pushed open. Blood sttered like wood chips, and a shadow appeared above its head. Ling Bai unfurled his Angel Wings, a hazy, illusory six-winged figure embracing him from behind. In his hand, he held a three-foot-long golden sword, and three Soul Rings-one yellow and two purple-glowed brightly at his feet. His handsome face was calm and indifferent, his golden eyes filled with icy, ruthless determination. The Adamantine Baboon let out a deafening roar, sensing Ling Bai''s killing intent. It could no longer hold back, its massive body charging forward like an armored tank. Its colossal arms, like pirs supporting the sky, swung with a gust of wind, aiming for Ling Bai''s head. The Holy Angel Sword descended, meeting the blood-soaked arm. A loud crash echoed as the ground beneath the Adamantine Baboon cracked, terrifying fissures spreading everywhere, and dust filled the air. A scream of pain emerged from the dust, a hairy arm flying out andnding, forming a perfect parabolic arc. The severed arm was smooth and t, golden light surging as blood flowed. A destructive aura rapidly invaded its body, spreading to its limbs and organs. Though the Adamantine Baboon''s intelligence was low, its Spirit Beast instincts warned it that if it didn''t end the fight quickly, it would grow weaker until it became mere prey for the human. Enduring the difort from the internal destruction, the Adamantine Baboon used its other scarred arm to w at Ling Bai''s abdomen. Ling Bai seemed unresponsive, and the Adamantine Baboon''s wed hand plunged into his body. Its mouth curved into a triumphant smile. The next moment, the hand passed through Ling Bai''s body without a drop of blood, and his figure became increasingly translucent, vanishing into light dust. An illusion! "Roar!?" The Adamantine Baboon quickly used its remaining arm to protect its vital points. Suddenly, a golden sword beam struck its back, shreddingrge patches of brown-ck fur, which scattered like a shower of light points. The blood-red light points were eerily beautiful against the green forest. Ling Bai reappeared before the Adamantine Baboon, the Holy Angel Sword in his hand glowing more fiercely. His Angel Wings unfurled, and his three Soul Rings pulsed with soul power. At that moment, two more figures arrived swiftly. A vivid girl with crimson long hair tied in a high ponytail, her two faintly glowing yellow Soul Rings indicating her status as a Great Soul Master. Her arms were covered in Fire Red Rhombus Dragon Scales, but the scales were cracked, and a trace of blood stained her lips. The other girl was even more stunning, both in appearance and aura, surpassing the red- haired girl. Her white-golden hair fell to her waist, and her pure azure eyes were like a tranquilke. A Seven-Colored Crystal Tower floated in her palm, enhancing the sacred and untouchable beauty of her wless face. "Brother Bai, how are you?" The silver-white girl''s tone wasced with concern. "Fine, be careful, you and Wu Feng." Ling Bai''s eyes narrowed, locking onto the heavily wounded Adamantine Baboon. "It''s going to fight to the death." "Grr... grr..." The Adamantine Baboon, supported by its hind legs, stood upright, its height surpassing ten meters. Its fangs ground together, producing a sharp, grating sound, and its red eyes fixed on Ling Bai and hispanions. These damned, sticky humans! Especially that flying birdman! "Roar-" The intense pain and inner fury finally drove the Adamantine Baboon to madness! Its eyes turned blood red, and its brown-ck fur seemed to catch fire, rapidly darkening to a deep crimson. Innate Soul Skill, Berserk! At the same time, the Adamantine Baboon''s aura became even more violent. Alreadycking in intelligence, it now abandoned thest vestiges of reason, transforming into an unstoppable killing machine. The Adamantine Baboon no longer felt the pain in its body. Its already massive form swelled evenrger, and its iron-like arms swung with such force that they created a series of sonic booms. Its massive body leaped like a cannonball, aiming for Ling Bai. The berserk Adamantine Baboon exuded an overwhelming presence. Even from a distance, the wind from its leap made Ning Tian and Wu Feng''s faces pale. One of them gritted her teeth, refusing to back down, her eyes fixed on Ling Bai''s calm figure in the sky. The other summoned her two yellow Soul Rings. "Seven treasures emerge, one is crystal! Seven treasures named, one is strength! Two is speed!" The Seven-Colored Crystal Tower emitted a misty light, and two seven-colored chains shot out from the first twoyers, instantly merging into Ling Bai''s body. The curved sword energy, like a golden meteor with a brilliant golden tail, appeared deadly beautiful in the Adamantine Baboon''s eyes. The radiant golden light illuminated the forest and the faces of Ling Bai and the Adamantine Baboon. Ling Bai saw the shock and anger on the Adamantine Baboon''s face, and the Adamantine Baboon saw the cold, bloodthirsty look in Ling Bai''s eyes, as well as the purple second Soul Ring that had appeared at some point. Six-Winged Angel''s second soul skill, Evil Repelling sh!N?v(el)B\\jnn "Roar!!!" Ling Bai passed by, and the world seemed to shatter. Sunlight filtered through the towering trees, casting a golden glow on him. Behind him, the massive Spirit Beast''s final roar echoed as it crashed to the ground.

She took out a short knife from her Colorful Bracelet-like Storage Soul Conductor and rushed toward the Adamantine Baboon, which was barely hanging on. With a swift motion, she ended the soul beast''s life, her eyes filled with determination. A bright Purple Soul Ring slowly rose, exuding a noble aura. "I''ll stay here and absorb the soul ring. You and Wu Feng can guard me." "Sure, thanks, Bai." Ning Tian smiled and sat down, using her soul power to draw the millennium soul ring from the Adamantine Baboon. Ling Bai and Wu Feng were left standing in the forest, staring at each other awkwardly. After a while, seeing that Ning Tian was fully immersed in absorbing the soul ring, Wu Feng deliberately cleared her throat, flicked her ponytail, and puffed out her chest. "A mere Adamantine Baboon, I could have defeated it alone. I didn''t need your help!"N?v(el)B\\jnn Hearing this, a trace of approval shed in Ling Bai''s golden eyes. "That''s true, but I remember a certain clown who was pped twenty meters away by the Adamantine Baboon, breaking three trees and getting stuck in the ground. Do you know who that was?" "You..." Wu Feng trembled with anger, unable to say a word as her weakness was exposed. Yes, that clown was her. The three of them had traveled from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower to Shrek Academy. On the way, Ning Tian had just broken through to level thirty and decided to detour to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain her third soul ring. They had grown up together, and whenever it came to Ning Tian, Wu Feng always shed with Ling Bai. Beforeing to Star Dou, she had repeatedly assured them that she didn''t need any help, but... She had flown back faster than she had rushed out! And was eventually pulled out of the ground like a carrot by Ning Tian! "I... I was just caught off guard!" Wu Feng finally managed to choke out aplete sentence after a long pause. "Oh?" Ling Bai''s skeptical gaze made the girl ufortable, but she persisted. "W-Whatever, from now on, I''ll handle everything rted to Ning Tian!" "Got it, go y." Ling Bai tossed a jade bottle to Wu Feng and waved her off. "You!!!" Wu Feng''s defenses crumbled. She wanted to beat Ling Bai up, but her past five years of painful experience told her that this guy, with the continent''s top sacred soul beast, the Six- Winged Angel, was a demon in a fight. Unable to argue or fight, Wu Feng plopped down near Ning Tian, uncorked the jade bottle, and a fragrant aroma of herbs filled the air. "Mystic Elixir?" Wu Feng blinked. The Mystic Elixir was one of the best healing pills on the continent, made primarily from the heart of the ten-thousand-year-old Tree of Life. Even in the wealthy Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, it was considered a rare treasure. "What do you mean by this?" Wu Feng felt insulted, hands on her hips, demanding an exnation. "What do you think?" Ling Bai''s eyes fell on Wu Feng''s bloodied arms and her heaving chest. The powerful force of a millennium Adamantine Baboon was not something a two-ringed Great Soul Master could withstand. Wu Feng''s internal organs had already been invaded by the force, and the fact that she could still argue with him was a testament to her Red Dragon constitution. "Ling Bai!" Ling Bai''s mocking gaze infuriated Wu Feng. She raised the jade bottle and dered firmly, "I, Wu Feng, would rather be killed by the Adamantine Baboon and die in the Star Dou Great Forest than take a single pill from you!" "Is that so?" Ling Bai pped, praising her unwavering resolve. "If you die, won''t I be free to do whatever I want with Ning Tian? To thank you for your sacrifice, I''ll erect a monument for you. What color do you like? Pink?" "Monument? Whatever I want?" Wu Feng nearly exploded. She swallowed the Mystic Elixir in one gulp, red at the smirking boy, and growled, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! As long as I''m here, you won''t bully Ning Tian!" With that, she immediately sat down and began to use her soul power to absorb the healing effects of the pill. "Tsk, your mouth is the hardest part of you." Ling Bai muttered. Seeing that both Ning Tian and Wu Feng had settled down, he turned his thoughts to his own matters. He was axxx with memories from his past life, aware that this was the world of Absolute Tang Gate. Due to the issue with his second soul beast, he needed help from a senior. ording to the timeline, it should be time for that person to appear. "Holly, don''t disappoint me..." Ling Bai extended his palm, and a soul power condensed into a fist-sized purple-ck spider. Its fangs wererge and menacing, with venom droplets forming, and its eight spear-like legs bent slightly. It leaped from Ling Bai''s palm to the ground, its sharp tips piercing the earth. Unlike the holy and proud Six-Winged Angel, this spider exuded a different kind of ferocity and brutality. "Find." Ling Bai''smand was simple and clear. A few months ago, he had left the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower under a pretext, hiding near the White Tiger Duke''s Manor. When Huo Yun''er went out to buy supplies, he secretly left a unique mark on her White Tiger Dagger, which the Demon Spider could track. The Demon Spider received the order and quickly darted northwest, gradually disappearing from Ling Bai''s sight. "It''s not far..." An hourter, sensing the Demon Spider''s feedback, Ling Bai''s eyes flickered. At that moment, the two girls also slowly woke up. "Bai, Xiao Feng, I''m done." Ning Tian stood up, brushing off her skirt as she walked toward Ling Bai, a light smile on her face, clearly satisfied with the third soul skill she had obtained from the Adamantine Baboon. Wu Feng, sensing the situation, quickly ran over, determined to prevent Ling Bai from getting too close to Ning Tian. Ling Bai didn''t mind Wu Feng''s thoughts. What was his would eventually be his, and there was no need to rush. He asked, "Xiao Tian, what is your third soul skill?" "Guess." Ning Tian replied, her voice yful. "The Adamantine Baboon is second only to the Titan Ape among ape soul beasts, with formidable strength, speed, attack, and defense. Your Seven Treasures Crystal Tower already has enhancements for strength and speed, so the third soul skill is likely to be either an attack or a defensive skill." As a ten-thousand-year-old ancient sect, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had developed a set of soul skills specifically suited for the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower. These skills, representing the first six soul skills, enhanced strength, speed, attack, defense, soul power, and attributes, respectively,prehensively boosting a team''sbat capabilities. "Third, attack." Ning Tian revealed the answer, delighted because whether it was the Six-Winged Angel or the Red Dragon, they needed attack enhancements more than defense. Sure enough, when they heard that the third soul skill of the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower was an attack skill, Ling Bai and Wu Feng''s eyes lit up with joy. A three-ringed Seven Treasures Crystal Tower provided a 40% enhancement, covering strength, speed, and attack, allowing them to fight at a level above their soul rings. Ning Tian looked up at the sky and said, "We''ve been dyed a few days hunting soul beasts. It''s time to report to Shrek Academy." The connection between the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and Shrek Academy dated back to their ancestor, the Nine-Colored Spirit Maiden Ning Rongrong. For ten thousand years, each generation of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had sent a direct descendant to Shrek Academy for training, and this descendant would eventually be the head of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Ning Tian''s parents had only one child, and this inheritance naturally fell to her. Ling Bai shook his head. "No, I think we need to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest a bit longer." "Why?" Wu Feng immediately asked. Ning Tian also looked at him questioningly. Apart from reporting to Shrek Academy, the Star Dou Great Forest, being the most extensive soul beast gathering ce on the Tang Sect Continent, posed unknown dangers with every passing minute. "I''ve broken through to level forty." (End of Chapter) Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Elektrix (Part 1) Chapter 3: Elektrix (Part 1) ?

The former was filled with joy, while thetter hid a hint of reluctance. Wu Feng secretly nced at Ling Bai. Already being thoroughly beaten, he would have even less face to show in the future, but... Thirty years on the east, thirty years on the west; don''t underestimate a poor girl! Wu Feng believed that one day he would be able to regain his strength! He would take back Princess Ning Tian from the hands of the Great Demon Ling Bai! "It seems we really need to stay a bit longer." Ning Tian smiled sweetly. "Most of the creatures in the outer area are ten-year and hundred- year soul beasts. Encountering a thousand-year soul beast like the Adamantine Baboon is already quite lucky for us. Brother Bai, to obtain your fourth soul ring, we should venture into the mixed area." She and Ling Bai had grown up together as childhood sweethearts. Following the ancient teachings of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, direct disciples must find a powerful Battle Soul Master as a spouse. Due to Ling Bai''s outstanding talent, the higher-ups of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had long nned to betroth the two when they came of age, ensuring Ning Tian''s future and the future of the sect. Abination ofbat and support, Ling Bai''s strength also meant her own strength, which made Ning Tian happier than her own advancement to Soul Exalted. When decisive, the three were not indecisive. Maintaining a simple formation, Ling Bai and Wu Feng protected the support-type soul master Ning Tian on either side as they advanced deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest. Ling Bai naturally took the lead, with the feedback from the magic spider telling him that the owner of the White Tiger Dagger was still moving, but at a speed that could be described as a turtle''s crawlpared to theirs. Based on the other party''s mere ten-year soul power and weak physical condition, Ling Bai found this slow speed quite reasonable. The misty fog within the Star Dou Great Forest made the air feel cool, but it was hard for those inside to rx. Since the Star Dou Great Forestunched a beast tide and the Shrek Academypromised on behalf of human soul masters, after years of rest and recuperation, the number and quality of soul beasts within had reached an astonishing level. Low-level soul beasts found it difficult topete for territory and food with powerful soul beasts. To survive, they had to migrate outward, which was why the soul beasts in the outer areas of the Star Dou Great Forest were bing stronger, and soul beasts often ventured out of the forest to harass nearby viges. Advancing in the direction of the White Tiger Dagger, the three encountered several soul beasts along the way. However, the highest level among these soul beasts was a me Lion King with nine hundred years of cultivation. The me Lion King was a rather powerful fire-type soul beast, but it was no match for Ling Bai and hispanions and was easily subdued by Wu Feng alone. Wu Feng then carefully skinned the me Lion King, taking its luxurious golden-red fur to be processed into a quilt for Ning Tian by a high-level artisan in Shrek City. "There seems to be a soul power fluctuation over there?" Ning Tian suddenly sensed something and stopped, pointing in a certain direction. "Hmm." Ling Bai nodded, a slight smile forming on his lips. Finally caught up! "Let''s go and check it out." Ling Bai led Ning Tian and Wu Feng, parting the grass and heading toward the source of the soul power fluctuation. What met their eyes was a soul beast that looked like an ape, covered in brownish-yellow fur, with abnormally long arms and sharp ws, bared fangs, and eyes that glinted with ferocity. "Wind Baboon?" Wu Feng frowned. Compared to the top-tier soul beast Adamantine Baboon, which could rival a Titan Ape, the Wind Baboon was roughly one-tenth as strong. One punch from the Adamantine Baboon, and the Wind Baboon would be sent to theherworld. Even with the Wind Baboon being so weak, it was still steadily suppressing the soul master opposite it! "No way, no way, no one can really be losing to a Wind Baboon, right?!" Wu Feng couldn''t help butment. The soul master opposite the Wind Baboon was a slender, young soul master, not much older than the three of them, with a poor appearance and ordinary looks. His only standout feature was his bright, deep blue eyes. Under the continuous attacks of the ten-year-old Wind Baboon, the young man dodged and weaved, looking quite flustered! Ning Tian narrowed her eyes, observing the Wind Baboon''s size, and said softly, "Hmm~ it seems to be only ten years old." "Hey, you two are being too harsh." Hearing the two women''sments, Ling Bai smiled helplessly. The one being driven to the brink by the Wind Baboon was none other than the future Emotion God, the famous Huo Yuhao. Although Huo Yuhao was currently a bit of a failure, he was about to rise to prominence! "Tch!" Wu Feng sneered, almost etching disdain on her face. Ning Tian smiled gently, twirling a strand of white-gold hair around her finger, and said, "Should we help him?" "No need."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Ling Bai shook his head. Huo Yuhao was merely a locator to him, and his life or death was of no concern. If Huo Yuhao were really killed by a ten-year-old soul beast, Ling Bai would give the Wind Baboon a thumbs up, admiring the God yer''s prowess! "Hey, Ning Tian, look! That guy is counterattacking!" Wu Feng suddenly grabbed Ning Tian, excited. At the center of the battlefield, Huo Yuhao blocked two consecutive palm strikes from the Wind Baboon with the White Tiger Dagger. Seemingly enraged, the Wind Baboon raised its upper body, pounded its chest with both fists, and roared, opening its mouth to release a burst of white light directly at Huo Yuhao. As it released the white light, the Wind Baboon also pounced at Huo Yuhao with a bloodthirsty gleam in its eyes. At the critical moment, Huo Yuhao, losing his ability to think, instinctively fell backward, raising his right hand, which held the White Tiger Dagger, to intercept the white light. The Wind Baboon leaped over the White Tiger Dagger, its arms grabbing Huo Yuhao''s shoulders and throwing him. After sessfully throwing Huo Yuhao, the Wind Baboon seemed to stiffen for a moment. Huo Yuhao was flung away, but the Wind Baboon rolled on the ground and theny still. Ling Bai observed everything. The White Tiger Dagger, which was originally too short to reach the airborne Wind Baboon, absorbed the white light and suddenly released a de of light, slicing through the baboon''s body, allowing Huo Yuhao to achieve a counterkill! In ancient times, a hero could defeat a fierce tiger with a slide tackle. Today, the future Emotion God simrly used a slide tackle to counterkill a ten-year-old Wind Baboon! "How did he manage that..." Ning Tian and Wu Feng were greatly shocked. Not just them, even Huo Yuhao, the one involved, was stunned, sitting on the ground for a long time before reacting! Huo Yuhao looked at the white ten-year soul ring above the Wind Baboon''s head, his expressionplex. He couldn''t die; he had to avenge his mother. The scenes of his battle with the Wind Baboon reyed in his mind, reminding him of his own overestimation. "Mom..." As Huo Yuhao fell into a daze, a cheeky voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "Finally encountered a human with mental attributes. Too bad I can''t cry, or I would be in tears!" The ground trembled unexpectedly, and cracks appeared two meters in front of Huo Yuhao, gradually expanding into fissures. Faint golden light could be seen shimmering through the cracks. Ning Tian and Wu Feng, hiding nearby, held their breath, staring at the shimmering light, while Ling Bai''s excitement was almost palpable. Herees the big bug!

You can also join the Geriatric Trantions Community on Discord to connect with other readers: https://discord.gg/NSWvfN7vua Huo Yuhao stared intently at the seemingly bottomless Fissure. If not for the exhausting battle with the Wind Baboon, he would have fled long ago, his body now weak and sore. A figure emerged from the Fissure, and as it appeared, the water vapor instantly condensed into a mist of ice, sending shivers down Huo Yuhao''s spine. "Mental-type Soul Master, your Brother Tianmeng is here!" The same cheeky voice echoed in Huo Yuhao''s mind. The figure revealed itself to be a jade- white silkworm with ten golden stripes. A Millennium Soul Beast, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm! As it spoke, the golden stripes on the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm''s back transformed into ten golden halos that quickly enveloped Huo Yuhao''s thin, bamboo-like body. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm then melted into streams of white light, rushing into Huo Yuhao''s body. As the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm merged with Huo Yuhao, an invisible Spiritual Power began to spread from it. The Spiritual Power released by a million-year-old mental-type soul beast was terrifying, instantly covering every corner within a hundred-mile radius. All intelligent life forms immediately fell into a daze, as if time had been paused by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. "Crack... Crack..." In the dead silence, a sound like an eggshell breaking suddenly rang out. "Huh?" The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm split off a sliver of its consciousness to warily observe its surroundings. The fusion process was a matter of life and death, and it needed to be fully prepared. It was also curious; the process of bing a soul ring was somewhat simr to a sacrifice, releasing a powerful Spiritual Domain that even a Sealed Douluo or a Ten- thousand-year Soul Beast could not interfere with. In the outer regions of the Star Dou Great Forest, there was actually a life form that could ignore the Spiritual Domain!? Without any hindrance, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm locked onto the formidable individual. Holy Sword in hand, divine light shining. Ling Bai''s face was calm, and under the glow of the Six-Winged Angel, his gaze was cold and detached. "Oh my, Divine Majesty!" The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was speechless. If it had eyes, they would have popped out of its sockets and bounced around on the ground. Ten thousand years ago, the aftermath of the battle between the two gods had swept across the entire Tang Sect Continent, the overwhelming power of life forcing it to hide in an ice cave in the Ultimate North, trembling in fear. Today, it had encountered the familiar Divine Majesty again! The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was certain that the youth nearby possessed one of the four gods from ten thousand years ago, the Divine Majesty! "Heaven, I just wanted to find a host to survive, why did I have to meet such a monster..." The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was on the verge of tears. Without the protection of the Spiritual Domain, it and Huo Yuhao were as helpless as fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of Ling Bai. "Please, brother, treat us like a fart and let us go..." The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm prayed frantically, and if it could, it would have condensed a spirit body to cry and beg for mercy. Ling Bai was unaware of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm''s rich inner monologue and didn''t care, as he had no interest in it. He needed the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm about as much as a fish needed a bicycle. The Six-Winged Angel was not a mental-type soul power, and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was like a chicken rib to him. As for ice-type soul powers... Soul powers were valuable for their quality, not quantity, especially since he already had dual soul powers. Ling Bai nced at Ning Tian and Wu Feng, finding them still frozen in ce, which reassured him. The Spiritual Domaincked destructive power but could render all life forms unconscious for a short time. "It''s best they don''t know what happens next." Ling Bai watched the situation unfold. Seeing that Ling Bai made no move, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it had escaped with its life. It then elerated the fusion process and began tomunicate with Huo Yuhao in the spirit sea to build a rapport. "Boom-" Just then, the sky, which had been clear a moment ago, suddenly darkened. A thunderous boom echoed in the high sky, and for a moment, the sun''s light waspletely blocked by darkness. A suffocating pressure descended from the heavens. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm''s massive body shook violently at the sound of the thunder, its small eyes rolling upward to look at the sky, revealing a look of shock and confusion. Clearly, this oppressive force had nothing to do with it. A blurry figure crossed time and space, and an ancient voice with an indescribable authority rang out: "Holding the sun and moon, plucking the stars, none can match me in this world! I never thought a fragment of my soul could still exist!" An extraterrestrial being, Ilex! Having said that, Ilex looked at Huo Yuhao and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, his form floating as if he wanted to join them in a happy trio. "Old man, I got here first!" After going through great lengths to find a suitable host, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was not about to give up easily. Its eyes, rarely showing the ferocity of a soul beast, glowed with determination as it manipted its Spiritual Power to block Ilex. "Elder!" A loud shout interrupted Ilex''s next move. His gaze fell on Ling Bai, and his expression changed imperceptibly. Ling Bai spread his arms, and the Six-Winged Angel soul power was retracted. At that moment, a faint purplish-ck hue began to appear under his exposed skin, as if something was eager to break through the flesh. Behind him, a massive Demon Spider''s shadow slowly materialized. Eight crimson eyes, like burning candles, flickered in the air, emitting a cold, piercing light. Eight curved, long legs bent and extended, moving forward slowly, withering everything in their path, turning it to dust that drifted away. "Screak-" The Demon Spider let out a piercing roar, the overwhelming terror hitting the soul, causing even the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao in the spirit sea to tremble and cling to each other, seeking a modicum of security. "Death attribute..." Ilex was taken aback but then burst into heartyughter: "Excellent, excellent! I am known as the Holy Death Spirit Mage, and you, little one, seem to have a connection with me!" To Ilex, Huo Yuhao was just a mental-type soul master, while Ling Bai was a fellow of the same attribute. Ilex''s choice was clear. Ling Bai opened his spirit sea, sessfully receiving Ilex. "Finally, it''s done..." The n went smoothly, and Ling Bai sighed in relief. With Ilex around, the problem of his second soul power should be resolved satisfactorily. On the other side, Huo Yuhao and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had justpleted their fusion, and the Spiritual Domain dissipated, the surrounding space beginning to return to normal.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "Xiao Yuhao, go pick up my remains. The remains of a Millennium Soul Beast are rare treasures in the world!" In the spirit sea, the Tianmeng Ice Silkwormy in a rxed position,zily instructing Huo Yuhao. "Brother Tianmeng..." Huo Yuhao hesitated, "Your remains, are they like a white film?" "Yeah, so what?" "Nothing, it''s just that someone took them."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sat up in a jolt from its deathbed, the little silkworm managing a koi fish leap. Through Huo Yuhao''s eyes, it saw Ling Bai just putting the white film into his Storage Soul Conductor. "No!!!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm roared to the heavens, its gaze on Ling Bai a mix of the hatred of a man avenging his father''s murder and the grievances of a woman whose husband is a gambling addict. Although its heart was screaming to snatch back the cast-off skin, the remaining shred of reason told Tianmeng Ice Silkworm that it was merely trying to be a deity in the form of a wisdom soul ring, while the person in front clearly already possessed Divine Majesty. In other words, Ling Bai was very likely the sessor of some deity, or at the very least, a very close descendant. It would be unwise for Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao to rashly provoke Ling Bai now. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was so angry it could gnaw its teeth to pieces, but it had no choice but to swallow its pride and ept this loss. Thirty years on this side of the river, thirty years on the other. Don''t mock the old silkworm for being poor! "Brother Bai, what happened?" Ning Tian and Wu Feng woke up from their Spiritual Domain, their eyes carrying a hint of confusion, giving a strange feeling as if they had been transported to another world. "Nothing. Ling Bai smiled. There was no need for them to know about Electra and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm''s secrets. Sometimes, being a little ignorant was better than being fully aware. "Yuhao! Yuhao!" From a distance, two figures were racing over at an incredible speed. One male and one female, both around fourteen or fifteen years old. The girl had a lively oval face, with long ck hair tied into a long ponytail, andrge, lively eyes, making her a true beauty in the making. The boy was tall and robust, with short, deep blue hair that shimmered like gemstones. His face was handsome with a touch of elegance, and even while rushing, his gaze would asionally linger on the girl beside him. "Big Brother Bei Bei, Big Sister Tang Ya!" Huo Yuhao recognized the neers as Bei Bei and Tang Ya, whom he had met before. He waved his hand in surprise. The scenes from just now all indicated that Ling Bai was in extreme danger nearby, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had been constantly warning him not to provoke that monster! Bei Bei and Tang Ya''s arrival made Huo Yuhao feel a bit more secure, and his tense body and nerves gradually rxed. "Sorry, little Yuhao, we camete!" The two quickly stopped beside Huo Yuhao, looking at the Wind Baboon''s gruesome corpse and Huo Yuhao''s injuries with fear and concern. "It''s okay, Big Sister Tang Ya." Huo Yuhao shook his head. "I turned a misfortune into a blessing. By killing the Wind Baboon, I obtained my First Soul Ring." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm''s million-year soul ring X Wind Baboon''s ten-year soul ring "A ten-year soul ring..." Bei Bei''s brows furrowed. Huo Yuhao had not revealed his mental-type Spirit Eye Spiritual Power during their previous encounter, and Bei Bei simply felt that a ten-year soul ring might hinder Huo Yuhao''s future. "It''s a minor issue. We can find a hundred-year Spirit Beast for the second soul ring!" Tang Ya, who was usually carefree, thought that Huo Yuhao''s survival was already a stroke of luck, and soul rings were trivial matters. Then... She inadvertently saw Ling Bai and hispanions, her beautiful eyes instantly widening like bells, and she eximed in surprise: "Bei Bei! Bei Bei! Look at them! Especially that handsome guy, he''s too amazing!" Bei Bei looked at his scatterbrained girlfriend speechlessly, but he had to admit it. The appearance of the three people in front of him was truly... Bei Bei racked his brains for a long time, but could onlye up with two words. Heaven-defying. Wearing white crystal high heels, a water-blue waist-cinching dress, and adorned with luxurious essories in her white-gold hair, even Bei Bei, who was used to seeing beautiful girls in the academy, had to admit that Ning Tian was overly beautiful. Her innate charm was something ordinary people could notpare to. Anyone who saw this girl would marvel at how biased God must be, and only such bias could create such beauty from her genes. Bei Bei could almost imagine the string of breathtaking beauties in Ning Tian''s family tree. Although Wu Feng''s appearance was not as stunning as Ning Tian''s, she was undoubtedly a beauty, with a figure that was already taking shape, curvaceous and fiery, making the slightly older Tang Ya look down at herself and feel a surge of inferiority! "Stop looking! Stop looking!" Tang Ya covered Bei Bei''s eyes with her hands, ring at Ling Bai in a fit of anger. Damn it, my boyfriend is looking at beautiful girls, so I want to look at handsome guys too! Wow, he really is handsome!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Squeal! Squeal! Bei Bei helplessly pushed away Tang Ya''s small hands and looked at Ling Bai straightforwardly. He considered himself to be quite handsome, but even he was outshone by Ling Bai''s face. That exquisite, chiseled face, as if carefully sculpted, had no ws. His sun-like golden eyes were radiant, yet carried a hint of calm andziness. His golden hair, the same color as his eyes, fell to his waist, evoking the brilliance of the vast sun, making it hard to look away. Bei Bei and Tang Ya had to admit that being with such a trio would create immense psychological pressure due to the overwhelming good looks. Bei Bei was the first to react, stepping forward with an impable smile on his handsome face, and said loudly: "Hello, I''m Bei Bei. They are my girlfriend Tang Ya and my junior Huo Yuhao. Tang Ya and I are students at Shrek Academy. Thank you for protecting Yuhao before we arrived." "Oh, Shrek Academy?" Wu Feng tilted her head. "So, you must be seniors?" "Could it be that you are also..." Bei Bei suddenly realized. "Hello, Senior Bei Bei, Senior Tang Ya." Ling Bai said. "I''m Ling Bai, and these are mypanions, Ning Tian and Wu Feng. We are this year''s freshmen at Shrek Academy, from Tianhun Empire." Hearing this, Tang Ya''s lively eyes lit up. "What a coincidence, Junior Ling. Bei Bei and I are also from Tianhun Empire. We arepatriots. If you have any trouble in the academy, just mention my name. Small matters are no problem, and big matters are beyond my control!" "6." Ling Bai couldn''t help but look at Tang Ya with new eyes. So, mentioning your name is useless for both big and small matters! You are truly a heaven-defying good person! Ning Tian and Wu Feng stood on either side of Ling Bai, their rosy lips curving into a smile, clearly amused by Tang Ya''s domineering self-introduction. "Hold on!" Bei Bei quickly pulled Tang Ya behind him, cleared his throat to ease the awkwardness, and said seriously: "Juniors, since we met in the Star Dou Great Forest, I assume you are here to obtain soul rings." "Yes, I need a soul ring." Ling Bai nodded slightly. "It just so happens that Little Ya also needs a soul ring. Since we are all Shrek students, how about we form a temporary team? We can hunt Spirit Beasts together and then return to the academy to report."

Based on his memories from his previous life, Ling Bai and Ning Tian trusted their character. There was no harm in working with them. Ling Bai and Ning Tian exchanged a nce and agreed. The next question followed quickly. Among the six of them, five were Shrek Academy students. Huo Yuhao suddenly felt very awkward. He nervously rubbed his hands and asked, blushing, "Can I apply to Shrek Academy?" Upon hearing this, Wu Feng couldn''t help but sneer. She crossed her arms and raised her chin, saying, "Shrek Academy''s admission criteria are for those under twelve years old, with at least a fifteen-level Soul Power. You don''t even meet that, let alone the Main City Rmendation Letter." Wu Feng refrained from saying more out of respect for Ning Tian''s presence, but a hint of disdain was evident in her expression. Wu Feng grew up in the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, which had a ten-thousand-year-old heritage. She had a nine-level innate Soul Power and a top-tier offensive soul beast, the Red Dragon. She was raised from a young age to be the next Guardian Douluo of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, and her status among the younger generation was second only to Ning Tian and Ling Bai. This upbringing had fostered a spoiled nature in her. Moreover, most soul masters had a tendency to admire strength. Wu Feng, despite disliking Ling Bai, still respected him. Huo Yuhao, who had almost been killed by a ten-year-old Wind Baboon, was destined to earn her respect. "You!" Feeling the mockery in Wu Feng''s words, Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but clench his fists. His emotional control wasn''t at the point where he could hide his feelings, and he was still a child who wore his heart on his sleeve. Ning Tian gently poked Wu Feng''s waist, signaling her to stop being so harsh. She then apologized to Huo Yuhao, "Sorry, Yuhao. Xiao Feng was a bit too harsh. Don''t take it to heart." "Hmm." Huo Yuhao responded dejectedly, a bitter smile on his lips. Lies may not hurt, but the truth is a sharp de. Wu Feng''s words were harsh but true. Huo Yuhao, who had just obtained his first Soul Ring, had only an eleven-level Soul Power, far from Shrek Academy''s admission requirements. As for the Main City Rmendation Letter, he had no way of obtaining it. Seeing Huo Yuhao wilt like a frost-bitten eggnt, Tang Ya''s eyes shed with sympathy. Bei Bei, noticing her expression, knew she was about to act on her kind heart. Sure enough, Tang Ya quickly stepped forward, patted Huo Yuhao''s head, and said earnestly, "Little Yuhao, do you want to join Shrek Academy?" "I do, but I''m an orphan, I have no connections, and my strength isn''t up to par..." Huo Yuhao stammered. "Those things don''t matter. As long as you want to!" Tang Ya patted her chest, exuding a spirit of equality with men: "I am the current leader of the once-great Tang Sect, and Bei Bei is my first disciple. The Tang Sect has fallen from its former glory, but Shrek Academy still offers us one special admission slot each year. Bei Bei and I have already used ours, so we don''t need this year''s slot. If you join the Tang Sect, I''ll give you the slot." "The Tang Sect!?" Huo Yuhao was shocked; clearly, he knew of the Tang Sect. "They''re actually from the Tang Sect?" Wu Feng''s arrogance slowly faded, and Ning Tian''s eyebrows furrowed as she scrutinized Tang Ya.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and the Tang Sect had both been glorious in the past but had declined for various reasons over the ten thousand years. Suddenly, Ning Tian seemed to remember something and whispered, "Brother Bai, I remember the Tang Sect was in Tiantou City, not far from our Nine Treasures City. It seems to have been taken over by an obscure small sect..." "Yes, the Iron Blood Sect. Tang Ya and I are pretty much the same, but..." Ling Bai surveyed the group and said with a yful tone, "Six-Winged Angel, Tang Sect, Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus, Star Luo White Tiger lineage... we''re only missing the Heavenly Hammer to restart the ten-thousand-year-old battle against the Soul Temple." "The past is the past." Ning Tian, under Wu Feng''s furious re, took Ling Bai''s hand and said softly but firmly, "Now, we are one." Ling Bai inteced his fingers with Ning Tian''s, his face blushing slightly as he reassured her, "Of course." Damn! They''re holding hands again! Wu Feng''s nose was almost out of joint, and a surge of anger almost choked her. On the other side, the destitute Huo Yuhao naturally joined the Tang Sect, shouting to revive it with his teacher and senior brother. Tang Ya and Bei Bei were delighted and immediately gifted him a storage soul conductor, the same as the one Tang San had, the Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night. "Alright, now Little Yuhao is also a Shrek Academy student. Let''s go!" Tang Ya called out to the group to continue their journey into the Star Dou Great Forest, her gaze lingering on Wu Feng for a moment. She had a good first impression of Ling Bai and Ning Tian, and in contrast, Wu Feng''s rudements made her slightly dislike her. After a brief discussion, the six formed a formation. Ling Bai and Bei Bei took the lead, Wu Feng and Tang Ya brought up the rear, while Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao, who had the weakest self-defense capabilities, were protected in the middle. The group didn''t venture deep into the Star Dou Great Forest but movedterally. They had barely traveled five kilometers when they encountered soul beasts again. Old acquaintances, the Wind Baboons! Tang Ya, walking at the rear, snorted coldly. Her steps became ethereal, and her body shed several times. A faint glint of cold light shed, and a ten-year-old Wind Baboon, comparable to a future Emotion God, fell from the treetops. Huo Yuhao was stunned; the Wind Baboon was so easily defeated by Tang Ya. "Hmph!" Wu Feng, not to be outdone, unleashed a burst of mes that scorched another Wind Baboon, which was evenrger than the one Tang Ya had killed. Wu Feng and Tang Ya''s effortless defeat of the Wind Baboons reignited Huo Yuhao''s feelings of inferiority. At that moment, the voice of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm echoed in his mind: "Don''t worry, Little Yuhao. With this million-year-old intelligent Soul Ring, your future is bright! In less than a year, I guarantee you''ll surpass Wu Feng!" "Alright, I believe you, Brother Tianmeng!" Huo Yuhao''s fighting spirit was rekindled. With the help of the unique million-year-old soul beast, he would face mountains and open paths, face rivers and build bridges! Fortunately, Ling Bai couldn''t read minds; otherwise, he would have patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said earnestly: Don''t get too excited, kid! What would you do if it were the pure and noble Tang Sect''s Blue Silver Entanglement? "There''s something ahead." After dealing with the Wind Baboons, Ling Bai saw a vague ck shadow in the distance. Bei Bei was very surprised. They had formed a temporary team but hadn''t shared their soul beasts or Soul Power levels. He had assumed that as a new student, his Soul Power was the highest and his perception the sharpest. What''s going on with Ling Bai? The facts didn''t give Bei Bei much time to ponder. A peculiar sound immediately caught his attention. The rustling sound was like someone changing clothes or leaves rubbing against each other. Everyone''s alertness was at its peak as they cautiously looked in the direction of the sound. Then, they saw the source of the sound. A spider appeared before them, a monstrous spider with a body diameter exceeding one and a half meters and eight spear-like legs over three meters long. Its entire body was covered in shiny ck armor, and its legs were slender at the tips, piercing the ground sharply with each step. As it raised its front legs, its body lifted, revealing its underside to everyone. The spider''s abdomen had some white patterns that contrasted sharply with its ck body. These white patterns formed a sinister human face, with eight small eyes glowing with a faint purple light tightly clustered on its abdomen! The Man-Faced Demon Spider!

"Man-Faced Demon Spider, the face on its abdomen has just formed hair, indicating a cultivation level of around 1,500 years! Bei Bei, I want it!" Tang Ya immediately became excited. The Blue Silver Grass''s requirements for a Soul Ring were not too stringent, and many Spirit Beasts could meet the criteria. The Man-Faced Demon Spider was undoubtedly one of the most suitable types for her! Her hand pressed on Huo Yuhao''s shoulder, her body curled up and flipped,nding lightly beside Bei Bei. Two halos rose from Tang Ya''s feet, the bright yellow Soul Ring pulsing up and down. Blue vines rapidly extended, which were her soul tool, the Blue Silver Grass. One of the Blue Silver Grasses wrapped around Bei Bei''s waist, while more vines quietly spread out in all directions. Bei Bei''s face was solemn, showing none of Tang Ya''s excitement. Despite being a three- ringed Soul Master, his Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus, the world''s strongest offensive soul tool, was powerful enough to defeat most 1,500-year-old Spirit Beasts. However, the Man-Faced Demon Spider had an extremely solid shield shell, incredible speed, eight legs with explosive piercing power and potent toxins, and a terrifying venomous spider web... He could easily meet his end here if he wasn''t careful! "Junior Ling, leave this to me and Little Ya. You protect the others and prevent the Man-Faced Demon Spider from suddenly bypassing us," Bei Bei said gravely to Ling Bai. "Alright." Ling Bai slowly retreated, moving to Ning Tian''s side. Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, witnessing this, fiercely mocked Ling Bai''s justifiedziness in their mental seas. Whether using the Six-Winged Angel, the sacred symbol of the world, or the sinister and mysterious demon spider, both human and beast shared the same thought. Ling Bai and the Man-Faced Demon Spider were about a 30-70 split. Ling Bai couldnd three punches, while the Man-Faced Demon Spider could take seven! The group had discovered the Man-Faced Demon Spider, and naturally, the Man-Faced Demon Spider had also noticed the human Soul Masters. Its eight long legs moved frantically, creating a series of illusions, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed to Bei Bei and Tang Ya, lifting its two front legs and stabbing them directly at the two. "Little Ya!" Bei Bei shouted, feeling a massive pull on his waist. Tang Ya immediately understood, using the Blue Silver Grass. The leading yellow Soul Ring of her Blue Silver Grass shone, activating her First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Entanglement. Countless thick vines instantly wrapped around the Man-Faced Demon Spider''s body, tightly binding it like a dumpling. Bei Beipleted his soul tool attachment in mid-air, a dazzling blue light rising from his forehead and spreading throughout his body. Blue and purple lightning danced around him like small snakes. The changes brought by his soul tool were minimal, except for the addition of a blue lightning symbol on his forehead and a significant transformation in one area. His right arm! The sleeve burst into ashes as his right arm, now half a foot longer, became extremely thick, covered in blue and purple scales. His hand, like a Dragon w, was also covered in thick dragon scales. Coiling blue and purple snake lightning continuously gathered and dispersed on his arm, while his two yellow and one purple Soul Rings, unlike those of normal Soul Masters, circled only this unique, mutated arm. "Dragon Transformation, the ultimate skill of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus family, finally witnessed firsthand." Ling Bai lightly stroked his chin, marveling. "The first-stage Dragon Transformation is very stable," Ning Tianmented honestly. Wu Feng, surprisingly, remained silent, her eyes almost glued to Bei Bei''s dragon-w-like right hand, filled with envy and desire. Theoretically, all Dragon Soul Masters could undergo Dragon Transformation, but the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus family had sealed the secret method for stable Dragon Transformation. As a result, no other Dragon Soul Master on the continent had yetpleted the transformation. In the center of the battlefield, Bei Bei''s first Soul Ring shone brightly. Under the intense soul power fluctuation, a blue and purple lightning Dragon w shot out, fiercely striking the Man-Faced Demon Spider restrained by the Blue Silver Grass. Bei Bei knew that even if Tang Ya''s Blue Silver Grass absorbed two Soul Rings, it would not be able to control the Man-Faced Demon Spider for long. After all, the Man-Faced Demon Spider was a highly venomous Spirit Beast, and its corrosive and neurotoxic poisons could easily break the Blue Silver Grass. He had to quickly subdue the Man-Faced Demon Spider! The Man-Faced Demon Spider was even more formidable than Bei Bei had imagined. A hazy purple light spewed from the face on its abdomen, and the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around it melted like ice, turning into pools of purple liquid that dripped to the ground, corroding deep pits. The Man-Faced Demon Spider effortlessly broke free from the Blue Silver Entanglement and pounced at Bei Bei. This time, its first four spider legs were raised high, their sharp tips gleaming like spears. Its eight small eyes revealed a fierce murderous intent, determined to deliver a fatal blow to Bei Bei! "Boom-" Amid the thunderous roar, the Man-Faced Demon Spider pierced through the lightning Dragon w. Bei Bei''s expression changed slightly, as his opponent''s strength exceeded his expectations. Fortunately, he was not fighting alone. Tang Ya used the Blue Silver Grass to pull him to the ground, and the previous lightning Dragon w had bought him a few seconds. Bei Beinded on the ground, his feet tapping rapidly, his form bing ghostly and ethereal. The second Soul Ring on his right arm glowed brightly, and the snake lightning expanded simultaneously. A of lightning bolts shed in the air, covering the Man-Faced Demon Spider like a web. If the lightning Dragon w was a test for the Man-Faced Demon Spider, then Bei Bei''s Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Impact, was the true killing move. Once covered by the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus''s web, the Man-Faced Demon Spider would be history. The Man-Faced Demon Spider, however, revealed its tyrannical side. Its body suddenly straightened, and its long legs forcefully collided with the Thunderous Impact, using the sharpness of its legs and sheer strength to create a gap in the web! As it destroyed the Thunderous Impact, the Man-Faced Demon Spider even had the energy to shoot a web from its abdomen. The web expanded rapidly, forming a giant five meters in diameter, reflecting a purplish glow in the sunlight. Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao, standing behind, took a few steps back, wanting to stay closer to Ling Bai. Unlike ordinary spiders that slowly spin their webs, the Man-Faced Demon Spider could instantly release its web, which was extremely sticky and resilient, carrying the most lethal neurotoxin! Wu Feng''s face turned pale. A few hours earlier, she had been hammered into the ground by a millennium-old Golden Monkey Baboon, but if she had to choose between the Man-Faced Demon Spider and the Golden Monkey Baboon, she would rather face the baboon! The Man-Faced Demon Spider was terrifying indeed! As a prodigy of the Shrek Academy, Bei Bei knew he could not allow even a tiny part of his body to be stuck by the web. His body emitted intense blue lightning, and the scales on his right arm quickly spread to cover his right chest. His aura surged once more, and the purple millennium Soul Ring shone brilliantly. Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Third Soul Skill, Thunder Fury! The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus was known as the continent''s strongest offensive soul tool, and Bei Bei''s Third Soul Skill, Thunder Fury, could enhance his attack effectiveness by fifty percent, increasing his lightning attributes several times over. Thunder Fury was not a direct attack skill but could boost Bei Bei''s overall strength to a level that made him seem like a different person. Even some weaker four-ringed Soul Masters would not be a match for him now. The vast spider web descended, its oppressive aura enveloping Bei Bei. Bei Bei snorted coldly, the blue light in his Dragon w-like right hand swirling, the sound of crackling lightning faintly audible. The second Soul Ring glowed brightly, and with a flick of his right arm, a web of lightning expanded in the air, revealing a Thunderous Impact at least three timesrger than before! Blue and purple shed wildly, producing a series of dull sounds. This was the battle between the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus and the Man-Faced Demon Spider, the masters behind the two giant webs! In terms of corrosiveness, the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus was no match for the Man-Faced Demon Spider with its dual toxins. However, in terms of destructive power, the Man-Faced Demon Spider was far inferior to the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus! Both sides had their strengths, and in the end, neither could prevail. The blue and purple gradually faded away. The Man-Faced Demon Spider was thoroughly enraged. After its web was destroyed by the Thunderous Impact, droplets of venom formed at the tips of its legs, emitting a nauseating, pungent smell. It leaped with its eight long legs, rushing towards Bei Bei. This time, Bei Bei did not dodge. Facing the enraged Man-Faced Demon Spider, he advanced instead of retreating. His right hand swept across his waist, and dozens of white lights shot out, aiming for the eyes on the spider''s abdomen. "What is that?" With his Spirit Eyes soul tool, Huo Yuhao saw the true nature of the white lights. They were not soul skills but steel darts, simr to what Tang Ya had used against the wind baboon. "Tang Sect Hidden Weapons." Ling Bai answered Huo Yuhao calmly. "Hidden weapons?" Huo Yuhao, hearing this term for the first time, furrowed his brow in confusion. "An outdated relic, used only by the Tang Sect in the entire continent," Ling Bai said indifferently. "Outdated..." Huo Yuhao muttered to himself. He now understood why the Tang Sect had fallen to the point where a two-ringed Great Soul Master could be its leader. Those who could not keep up with the times were destined to be left behind. The Man-Faced Demon Spider''s only weakness was its eyes. It quickly crouched to the ground, its protective shell hit by the hidden weapons, sparking a series of sparks. Soul Masters could sense the strength of Spirit Beasts, and Spirit Beasts could sense the strength of Soul Masters. The Man-Faced Demon Spider''s cultivation level was on par with Bei Bei''s. It was wary of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus''s tyrannical lightning and thus chose to protect its weak points temporarily. However, as it defended, it realized that the force of the darts was far less than expected. At that moment, the Man-Faced Demon Spider understood! The Soul Master''s soul power was about to run out! Believing it had seen through everything, the Man-Faced Demon Spider switched from defense to offense, enduring Bei Bei''s continuous Tang Sect Hidden Weapons to close the distance. It raised its upper body, supported by two long legs, and six spear-like legs plunged down, delivering a fatal blow! This time, its speed was even faster, and the six spider legs were covered in corrosive purple light. Combined with its neurotoxin, even a slight touch would be fatal to Bei Bei! Nightmare of Spirit Beasts, evil killer, the Man-Faced Demon Spider had used this move to devour countless Spirit Beasts and Soul Masters who ventured into the Star Dou Great Forest! Just as the six three-meter-long, spear-like spider legs descended, Bei Bei smiled, a smug and cunning smile. "Little Ya!" The Man-Faced Demon Spider, raising its legs for the attack, naturally exposed the wicked face on its abdomen, its eight purple eyes ring with a cold and bloodthirsty light. Tang Ya, who had been hiding, seized the opportunity. Her left hand held a ck box, and her fingers deftly manipted it, producing a series of mechanical clicks. "Snap, snap, snap!" A series of mechanical explosions sounded from the ck box, and sixteen ck shadows shot out. Under Tang Ya''s precise control, two shadows entered each of the Man-Faced Demon Spider''s eyes, instantly prating its body! Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, Zhuge Divine Crossbow! "Sss-" A shrill, piercing scream echoed through the quiet Star Dou Great Forest. The Zhuge Divine Crossbow pierced the Man-Faced Demon Spider''s brain through its eyes, causing its ck-armored body to stiffen momentarily before convulsing violently on the ground. Nearby nts suffered coteral damage as the Man-Faced Demon Spider, in its death throes, destroyed everything around it. The weak nts were instantly corroded by the venom, and the thick trees were shattered by its body. A few minutester, a ten-meter radius waspletely devastated, and the Man-Faced Demon Spider''s life came to an end, with purple light beginning to gather above its body. "Done!" Tang Ya jumped up, high-fiving Bei Bei, and cheerfully ran over to absorb the third Soul Ring. Bei Bei, on the other hand, took out a steel long knife and approached the Man-Faced Demon Spider''s corpse. The knife shed, and the Man-Faced Demon Spider''s eight long legs flew off, creating a bloody scene that only Huo Yuhao found unsettling. The two most important things on a Spirit Beast were the Soul Ring and the Soul Bone, and Bei Bei was searching for the Soul Bone. "Senior Bei." "What is it?" Ling Bai came to Bei Bei''s side, his expression serious. "Don''t you think we won too easily?" "Easily?" Bei Bei felt a lump in his throat, swallowing it with difficulty. "What do you mean?" "The Man-Faced Demon Spider can spit a web three times a day. It only used it once against you." "Yes..." Bei Bei paused, then exined, "Maybe it was careless and didn''t release the web, or perhaps it had already used it twice today." "Your reasoning makes sense, but look here." Ling Bai pointed to the armor on the Man-Faced Demon Spider''s chest, the hardest part of its body. Bei Bei followed his gaze and saw two fresh gaps in the armor, which did not look like damage caused by the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus but more like marks left by a bird''s ws. "Compared to direct attacks, the Man-Faced Demon Spider prefers to ambush its prey from the shadows, amon trait among spider-type Spirit Beasts..." Ling Bai licked his lips. "And think back to when we discovered the Man-Faced Demon Spider. Didn''t it seem like it was..." "Running away!" Bei Bei understood immediately, his face turning deathly pale. What Spirit Beast dared to chase the Man-Faced Demon Spider in the Star Dou Great Forest, forcing it to use its webn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om twice before fleeing! In the next second, Bei Bei saw Ling Bai lift his head! Thinking about the marks on the Man-Faced Demon Spider''s armor... A bird-type Spirit Beast! The sky! A fierce wind suddenly arose, and a white shadow pounced towards Ning Tian and the others behind them!

Her beautiful face was filled with confusion and shock. Huo Yuhao and Wu Feng were still immersed in the terror brought by the Human-faced Demon Spider. Just as they had no idea what was happening, a white phantom suddenly descended from the sky! "Be careful!" Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus instantly enveloped Bei Bei, and he used the Ghost Shadow Tracing Steps to madly chase back. However, a golden light was even faster, grazing his cheek and striking the white phantom directly! It was a golden long sword, as slender as willow leaves, gently falling. The de was longer than the end of a beauty''s eyebrow, and the hilt was carved with intricate and ancient patterns, resembling a pair of folded wings. Bei Bei turned his head to look, and the sunlight cascaded down the sword like a waterfall. "ng-" The Holy Angel Sword intercepted the white phantom''s attack, producing a sharp, metallic sound! The Holy Angel Sword was sent flying andnded in front of Ning Tian, more than half of its de embedded in the ground. The white phantom crashed through several trees, stirring up a cloud of dust. When the dust settled, the true identity of the white phantom was revealed. A massive soul beast with a pair of wings on its back, but with four ghastly white bone ws on the ground. Its face wasposed of white material and exposed teeth, making it look fierce and terrifying. Behind it, a cluster of sharp spines grew like a blooming flower, which were bone feathers,bining powerful offensive and formidable defensive capabilities. "This thing is..." Bei Bei recognized the soul beast, and his voice involuntarily became dry: "Ten-thousand-year... zing Bone Dragon Gryphon!"N?v(el)B\\jnn The zing Bone Dragon Gryphon, ording to ancient texts, was a result of a lucky encounter between a ze Bone Griffin and the corpse of a Holy Light Dragon. After devouring the Holy Light Dragon''s bones, it evolved into the top-tier soul beast, the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon. Its creed was to turn all evil into ashes, and it adhered to the principle of ''better to kill a thousand innocents than let one evil escape''! If the Human-faced Demon Spider was known as the evil killer, then the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon was the tyrannical despot! "So it''s this thing, no wonder it could chase the Human-faced Demon Spider into a panic." Bei Bei revealed a bitter smile. Without even considering the overwhelming cultivation, the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon, with the bloodline of the Holy Light Dragon, could kill the Human-faced Demon Spider as easily as killing a chicken. The Human-faced Demon Spider''s famous venomous web could not prate the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s exoskeleton defense! "Who it is doesn''t matter. What matters is, I said it''s dead." Ling Bai stepped slowly to Ning Tian''s front, and under her blushing gaze, he drew the Holy Angel Sword with a swift motion. His originally golden eyes turned into a scorching crimson, instilling fear in all who saw them. He first nced unobtrusively at a certain position deep in the forest, then burst forth with a dazzling golden light. Three soul rings-yellow, purple, and purple-shed in session, and a pair of holy wings sprouted from his back. Golden veins crawled from his neck to his face, like a cluster of fine snakes. A phantom six-winged figure appeared behind him. "Six... Six-Winged Angel!?" Bei Bei suspected his eyes were ying tricks on him, and he opened his mouth wide, a few drops of saliva dripping down. This was not Bei Bei''s fault, as the Six-Winged Angel held an extremely special status on the Tang Sect Continent. ording to legend, tens of thousands of years ago, after the Angel God ascended to divinity, they established the Soul Temple on the Tang Sect Continent, leaving behind their bloodline and the direct soul power, the Six-Winged Angel. Since then, the continent''s top soul power was established, and the Six-Winged Angel, surpassing even the ultimate soul power, stood at the pinnacle of the soul power pyramid! Until ten thousand years ago, Sea God Tang San led the Tian Dou Empire, Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, Hao Tian Sect, and Nine Treasures Crystal Tower to overthrow the Soul Temple, ending the rule of the angelic race, and the Six-Winged Angel soul power disappeared, seemingly extinct. Bei Bei never imagined he would see a Six-Winged Angel in his lifetime! "Seven treasures turn out to bexx!" An even more shocking event urred. After the clear female voice, a dazzling seven-colored light emanated from Ning Tian''s body. In the center of the seven-colored light, a foot-tall seven-colored tower appeared in her right palm, surrounded by two yellow and one purple soul rings. "Seven Treasures Crystal Tower?" Bei Bei rubbed his eyes and eximed, "The Six-Winged Angel and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower are together!? Bei Bei wanted to p himself andugh out loud three times. It was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. Ten thousand years ago, the Soul Temple almost exterminated the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, and now, the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower was calling the Six- Winged Angel ''brother'' with utmost affection! Moreover, as Shrek Academy freshmen, their talents seemed a bit too over-the-top. Tang Ya was still absorbing the Human-faced Demon Spider soul ring and couldn''t see, but when she woke up and discovered Ling Bai and Ning Tian''s three-ring cultivation, Bei Bei feared she might shed tears! "Roar-" The zing Bone Dragon Gryphon was unaware of Bei Bei''s inner turmoil. It had been focused on eliminating the Human-faced Demon Spider to rid the world of evil, but it let the spider escape, which it felt was a humiliation. It was now extremely enraged, and its rationality was on the brink of copse after being hit back by Ling Bai''s Holy Angel Sword! Soul masters and soul beasts were natural enemies, and the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon, self-proimed arbitrator of the soul beast world, would never let any human soul master go! The zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s bone feathers, white as death, opened and closed in sequence, producing a piercing sound like metal shing. Its face, full of bone protrusions, carried the dignity of a dragon. It looked down at the small Six-Winged Angel, spread its massive bone wings, and let out a deafening roar! Huo Yuhao clutched his ears tightly, feeling his heart almost stop. He looked at Ling Bai, and a newfound respect for this guy, who he didn''t think too highly of before, began to form. He could stand tall and draw his sword in the face of such a terrifying creature! Huo Yuhao felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his soul master instincts began to awaken. He quickly channeled soul power into his Spirit Eyes, and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm soul skill he had just obtained shed in his mind. "Xiao Yuhao, show them your soul skill!" The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm''s cheerful voice echoed in Huo Yuhao''s mind. "Okay!" Huo Yuhao''s single white soul ring shed, and his mental power connected with everyone except Tang Ya. "Oh?" Ling Bai was certain, Ning Tian was surprised, Wu Feng was astonished, and Bei Bei was taken aback. Various expressions yed across their faces. In their perception, time seemed to slow down, and everything around them became exceptionally clear, with a flood of information appearing in their field of vision. Bei Bei looked at the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon, and his mind automatically calcted the distance between them and the changes in every muscle and feather on the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s body, all the subtle details bing crystal clear. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm''s four soul skillsbined into Mental Detection Sharing! "Seven treasures are named, first: strength! Second: speed!" Ning Tian''s delicate hand held the colorful Seven Treasures Crystal Tower, making her beauty even more captivating. Warmth and lightness, two feelings simultaneously arose in the others'' hearts. "The top auxiliary soul power truly lives up to its name!" Bei Bei experienced the assistance of the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower for the first time. A three-ring Seven Treasures Crystal Tower could provide a 40% increase in strength and speed, andbined with Mental Detection Sharing, the dual assistance significantly narrowed the gap between them and the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon. "Wu Feng, you don''t need to worry about the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon. Protect Ning "Tian." Ling Bai suddenly turned around and said. "Ah? Me?" Wu Feng pointed at herself, her wide eyes filled with shock that threatened to spill out as sound. "R-really?" Ling Bai didn''t bother to respond. He knew Wu Feng was stupid, but couldn''t she at least pretend to have a brain? "I can only rely on you, Wu Feng." Bei Bei observed the situation. Despite the dual enhancement, Wu Feng, with only two rings, was still far from a ten-thousand-year soul beast. Rushing into battle would likely be a burden to him and Ling Bai. Moreover, Tang Ya, who was absorbing the Human-faced Demon Spider soul ring, and Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao, who had no self-defense capabilities, all needed a battle soul master to protect them. Bei Bei''s words were filled with sincerity: "Wu Feng, please take care of Xiao Ya and Xiao Shidi as well." "...Okay!" Wu Feng pounded her chest, causing a certain well-developed area to tremble with an impressive arc. At this moment, the fate of the three was tied to her, and Wu Feng felt a sense of honor. If anyone wanted to kill them, they would have to step over her dead body. The red dragon''s crimson mes burned fiercely! Suddenly, the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon moved. In its perception, with the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower''s colorful light entering their bodies, Ling Bai and Bei Bei''s auras grew increasingly formidable. The intelligence of a ten-thousand-year soul beast was not low, and the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon did not want them to exceed its control! "Roar-" The massive wing bones, folded like a screen behind it, unfolded. The bone texture resembled steel repeatedly forged by fire. The zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s massive body blocked out the sky, and it opened its mouth to spew a jet of ck mist, making the forest suddenly darken as if the lights had been turned off! Innate soul skill, Bone-Eroding Mist! The ck mist contained the ghostly qi the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon had cultivated over ten thousand years, capable of corroding and dissolving flesh, metal, and soul power, as well as obscuring vision and hiding its form. This was somewhat ironic for the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon, which had gone to great lengths to steal the Holy Light Dragon''s bloodline from its bones, only to have an innate soul skill that obscured light and brought darkness! The tyrannical despot, who championed the eradication of evil in the name of light, was itself an embodiment of evil! At the same time, Ling Bai and Bei Bei discovered that the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon had mysteriously disappeared from their Mental Detection Sharing vision. The Bone-Eroding Mist not only interfered with sight but also shielded mental power! "Ling Bai! Ling Bai!" Bei Bei called out loudly. The visibility inside the ck mist was extremely low, and the lightning from the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus only illuminated a one-meter circr area. "Roar-" A terrifying scream pierced their ears, audible even with their hands tightly over their ears. "Third soul skill, Thunder Fury! Second soul skill, Thunderous Impact!" The second and third soul rings lit up simultaneously. Facing a ten-thousand-year soul beast, Bei Bei did not dare to be overconfident. Blue and purple lightning coursed through his body, and a massive lightning was thrown upwards! But all of this was futile in front of the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon! Its ghastly white bone ws sliced through the Thunderous Impact as if it were a sheet of paper, and the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus''s proudest lightning waspletely ignored by the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s exoskeleton! Under Bei Bei''s shocked and angry gaze, the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s head split open, instantly expanding to a sizerger than its head, reminding him of a python about to strike! White fangs spiraled inyers, and a ghostly wail seemed to emanate from its throat. Bei Bei felt death approaching him so closely! Bei Bei used hisst soul power tounch a Thunder Dragon w, but it was extinguished by the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s bone w. However, in a daze, he thought he saw a light? Bei Bei saw clearly; it was light... a burst of light from a pair of sun-like eyes! Those golden eyes were unlike anything Bei Bei had ever seen. It seemed that in their presence, the world was reduced to pure light, and mortals could not help but kneel and kiss the feet of the deity! Ling Bai raised his head and took a deep breath, as if drawing the heavens and earth into his body. A lofty will, unparalleled power, and purifying holy light! The Six-Winged Angel''s third soul skill, Sacred Heart! Ling Bai''s third soul ring came from a five-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragon King, whose pure Holy Light Dragon bloodline gave him an exceptionally powerful third soul skill! The effect of the Sacred Heart soul skill: purify all negative effects, increase all attributes by 100%, temporarily boost mental power by 50%, and significantly reduce soul power consumption. The holy power of the Six-Winged Angel was fully unleashed! After entering the Sacred Heart state, Ling Bai was enveloped in a golden holy light, like a deity bringing salvation to the despairing mortals. The Bone-Eroding Mist could not approach him, no matter how hard it tried. Ling Bai raised the Holy Angel Sword, the tip pointing at the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon about to devour Bei Bei. The Holy Angel Sword, once a lifeless object, now seemed toe alive, with the angel wings on the hilt sprinkling golden light. The first soul ring shone, and the Holy Angel Sword drew a golden seven-pointed star array! The first soul skill, Radiant Spirit Array! "Boom-" The Radiant Spirit Array exploded on the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s body, causing it to howl in pain and retreat. Seven bloody marks were left on its back, tearing its flesh and exposing the blood-tinged white bones. "Roar!!!" Seeing Ling Bai in pursuit, the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon, which had never suffered such a severe injury in ten thousand years, flew into the sky with bloodshot eyes. The bone wings suddenly emitted a deep, ck light, enveloping the sky where Ling Bai stood in a ck world. In this world, countless bone feathers, like javelins, shimmered with a sharp, cold light! Innate soul skill, Ten Thousand Feet Bone Feathers! Firing all its bone feathers at once, the sharpness of the bone feathersbined with the corrosive ghostly qi made this the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s most powerful innate soul skill! The sky rained down like a torrent, and the sound of bone feathers falling was continuous. Ling Bai''s face was calm, and the grand seven-pointed star array sword aura swirled! "Radiant Spirit Array-Defend!" "ng, ng, ng-" ck bone feathers shed with silver sword shadows, and both were annihted. This ce seemed to be a world of ck and gold, with sword and ghost qi intertwining! At the most critical moment, a clear female voice broke the bnce, and a seven-colored rainbow light shed! "Seven treasures are named, third: attack!" Between ck and gold, no one could see how Ling Bai moved or when he moved. His movements were extremely fast, fast like a fleeting phantom, yet light as the mist exhaled in the cold winter, blending into the snowy night. Ling Bai''s second soul ring, a deep purple, shed quietly, and the Holy Angel Sword sliced through the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s body, the nearly transparent golden de tearing through its exoskeleton, harder than dragon scales! Severed w! Cut wing! Waist cleaved! Beheaded! Four strikes were delivered in the same instant, and in that moment, the sword light, like a burst of golden lightning, cut through the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon. The zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s massive body crashed to the ground, and a dense ck light overflowed from its body, coalescing in the air into a ck soul ring...

Bei Bei copsed to the ground as if he were drained, the feeling of narrowly escaping death making his heart pound like a drum in his chest. His entire back was drenched in sweat. He looked at Ling Bai and said, with lingering fear, "Thanks to you, Brother Ling. Otherwise, we would all have died under the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s hands." A ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast, especially one like the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon, was far beyond what a Three-Ring Soul Master could contend with, even with the assistance of the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower and the Spirit Eye. Ling Bai''s ability to defeat it head-on was a testament to the power of the Six-Winged Angel Soul Power and his formidablebat talent. "If it weren''t for Senior Pei drawing the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s attention first, I wouldn''t have been able to defeat it." Ling Bai stepped forward and helped Bei Bei up, his tone humble, though the sincerity in his words was debatable. "Xiao Tian, are you hurt?" Ling Bai smiled as he asked Ning Tian. "With you and the others around, the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon wouldn''t have had the chance to harm us." Ning Tian straightened Ling Bai''s rumpled clothes after the battle. Her gentle and charming smile made Wu Feng turn away, her small fists tightly clenched as she silently recited the supreme truth, "A woman''s revenge is never toote." Huo Yuhao looked at Ling Bai with aplex expression. Dread, fear, gratitude... But he knew deep down that what he felt most was envy-envy that Ling Bai, who was about his age, possessed such extraordinary talent and terrifyingbat power. Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but imagine if he had such talent, whether he could avenge his mother. "Xiao Yuhao, don''t forget that your Big Brother Tianmeng is the only million-year Soul Ring on the continent. Your revenge will be taken care of by Big Brother Tianmeng in the future!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm soothed Huo Yuhao''s sensitive emotions. "Yeah, I believe you, Big Brother Tianmeng!" Big Brother Tianmeng, Second Ice Soul Power, Shrek Academy... Huo Yuhao couldn''t help but look forward to the future, where he would surely absorb any method that would help him be stronger at the continent''s top academy! Seeing that Ning Tian was unharmed, Ling Bai slowly approached the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s corpse. Looking at the pitch-ck Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, he fell into deep thought. "Brother Bai, you..." Ning Tian ran a few steps to catch up. As childhood friends, she knew Ling Bai very well and realized he was interested in this Soul Ring. "No way, no way, no way someone would be so overconfident as to want to absorb a ten- thousand-year fourth Soul Ring! This girl advises you to give up this idea early, lest the Spirit Beast Soul Resonance bursts your body and leaves Ning Tian and me to clean up the mess!" Wu Feng''s words were filled with sarcasm, but a trace of concern shed in her crimson eyes. "Xiao Feng!" Ning Tian red at Wu Feng disapprovingly. Ling Bai smiled nonchntly, "Xiao Tian''s concern is normal, but why are you suddenly so kind to me, Wu Feng?" "Pfft." Wu Feng rolled her eyes at Ling Bai, "Who cares about your advice? I''m just worried that if you die, Ning Tian will be sad! Of course, we grew up together, so I''d be a little sad if you died." As she spoke, Wu Feng seemed to feel it was a loss of face and quickly added, "Just a little!" She extended her slender thumb and index finger to make a gesture that would drive Ling Bai''s former countrymen crazy. Ling Bai couldn''t help butugh. He understood Wu Feng as well as he understood Ning Tian. Wu Feng was proud and capricious, but she wasn''t bad. She was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, which was why he often took care of her. "Brother Ling, what Sister Wu Feng said makes sense. A ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast is apletely different concept from a thousand-year Spirit Beast. The process of absorption is vastly different." After checking that Tang Ya''s Soul Ring absorption went smoothly, Bei Bei joined the persuasion team. After breaking through the ten-thousand-year mark, the resentment of a Spirit Beast would hide in the Soul Ring, waiting tounch a fatal attack when the Soul Master absorbed it. This was called Soul Resonance by Soul Masters. Only when a Soul Master broke through Level Fifty, with both their body and mental strength mature, could they withstand Soul Resonance. In the past, Soul Masters who broke the limit and absorbed a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring too early often ended up bursting their bodies, and those who survived by chance would suffer a copsed Spirit Sea, bing idiots for the rest of their lives. "Brother Bei, I believe you saw my Soul Ring configuration just now," Ling Bai said with a faint smile, "So far, every one of my Soul Rings has surpassed the theoretical Soul Ring limit in the Soul Master world. If I remember correctly, the fourth Soul Ring of the Tang Sect''s ancestor, the Ice... Sea God Tang San, was a ten-thousand-year-old cave magic spider. I am a Six-Winged Angel, inheriting the blood and pride of the Angel God. I will not ept anyone above me." Every word Ling Bai spoke was solemn. He looked into Bei Bei''s eyes without hesitation, his handsome face as indifferent as a stone carving. "Alright..." Bei Bei was silent for a moment before finally uttering a single word. He recalled the past of the Tang Sect and the angel lineage from ten thousand years ago. Then he realized that perhaps Ling Bai was using this method to tell him. They, ultimately, could never be true friends. "But the most important reason is..." Ling Bai changed the subject, "I have my eye on the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s soul skills. This lowly Fire Thief won''t conflict with the Six-Winged Angel, after all, the blood in my veins can''t be changed." This statement was clearly directed at Ning Tian and Wu Feng. "Xiao Tian, Wu Feng, help me guard." "Okay." Ning Tian and Wu Feng couldn''t persuade Ling Bai, so they trusted him as they always did. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Ling Bai summoned the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s Soul Ring. The ck Soul Ring floated above his head, guided by his soul power. ck energy continuously flowed from the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s Soul Ring, forming threads that drilled into Ling Bai''s body. As the Soul Ring was absorbed, Ling Bai''s original three Soul Rings-one yellow and two purple-gradually dimmed, as if suppressed by the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. Ling Bai''s skin glowed with a ck light, and his body felt like a small boat in a vast sea, at the mercy of the storm, ready to be swallowed by a massive wave at any moment. Meanwhile, the events in his Spirit Sea were even more urgent. For ordinary Soul Masters, the Spirit Sea appeared as water, initially just a few drops, then transforming into a vast ocean as their soul power and cultivation grew. But Ling Bai''s Spirit Sea was different. An endless wastnd, devoid of anything except the imprable darkness and unbreakable silence. The ck ground was riddled with torn marks, crisscrossing like scars. Purple-ck threads hung from the sky, resembling spider webs from a distance. Today, the Spirit Sea finally had a "guest." The zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s resentment condensed into a physical form, roaring wildly in Ling Bai''s Spirit Sea! "So this is Soul Resonance. Themotion is indeed significant." Ling Bai stood beside a ck crack, looking up at the rampaging zing Bone Dragon Gryphon. His tone was calm and indifferent, showing no emotion despite the Spirit Beast''s madness, as if it didn''t matter that it was his own Spirit Sea. "Young friend, you''re not being fair."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Ilex''s spirit form emerged from the ck bead, quietlynding beside Ling Bai.

Ling Bai tilted his head slightly, smiling. Ilex had a pair of lifeless silver-gray eyes and a head of ash-white hair that fell over his back. His forehead was faintly illuminated by a pale golden glow, and his ancient face was framed by a tall, imposing figure wrapped in a ck robe. Ilex crossed his arms behind his back and said coolly, "Don''t you know what''s in your Spirit Sea?" "Saha-" As the two conversed, the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon circling in the sky spotted Ling Bai''s tiny figure. Its white bone face, with exposed teeth, twisted into a sinister grin. With a powerful p of its bone wings, the massive creature plummeted from the sky like a white meteor! The zing Bone Dragon Gryphon approached Ling Bai, and even as a spirit body, he could feel the cutting pain of the wind slicing across his face! "Screech!!!" A deep, furious roar suddenly echoed. The zing Bone Dragon Gryphon, descending from the sky, saw eight blood-redmps light up in the deep, invisible crack beside Ling Bai. A deafening explosion, apanied by flying ck debris, erupted from the crack. The zing Bone Dragon Gryphon didn''t even have a chance to resist before it was dragged into the boundless dark sky by some unknown creature from the crack! A few secondster, the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon finally realized it was in the mouth of this creature. Its prideful bone wings were pinned under the creature''s spear-like legs, and the mountain-like strength made it impossible to break free! At that moment, the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon saw the face of the creature in the crack! And those eight blood-red eyes that illuminated the sky! Majestic! Ferocious! The Death Prison Spider Emperor! Ling Bai''s Second Spirit Soul! The zing Bone Dragon Gryphon had stolen the Holy Light Dragon''s bloodline and had memories of various powerful soul beasts, but it had never encountered such a terrifying creature. The death aura in the blood-red eyes filled it with dread. Even the pure dragons it had seen from afar in the Star Dou Great Forest couldn''tpare to this Death Prison Spider Emperor! "Crunch, crunch..." It heard the sound of itself being slowly chewed and swallowed by the Death Prison Spider Emperor. Its remaining consciousness was gradually stripped away, and in its final moments, it felt a strong regret. Perhaps it shouldn''t have pursued the human-faced demon spider, leading to its death in the mouth of another spider! The ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon, was dered dead! After devouring the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s grudge, the Death Prison Spider Emperor hung upside down on a distant spider web, its eight blood-red eyes fixed on Ling Bai on the ground. "Eat... more!" The Death Prison Spider Emperor, with its massive purple-ck body like a world-shaking demon god, opened its scythe-like fangs and spoke in a human voice. "Next time, for sure." "You... had better..." The Death Prison Spider Emperor responded coldly, its eight spider legs moving in unison as its figure gradually disappeared. The Spirit Sea was left with only Ling Bai and Ilex, who were staring at each other in silence. This Spirit Sea, youe, and no one speaks! After a long silence, Ilex broke the quiet. "So... this is why you seek my help?" "Senior, your wisdom is like a beacon." Ling Bai sighed. He looked at Ilex, his once brilliant golden eyes now blood-red, and a strange protrusion on his back seemed ready to burst through at any moment, as if he would transform into another Death Prison Spider Emperor at any second. "This world is called the Tang Sect Continent. Everyone awakens their soul beast at the age of six, and I am no exception. I awakened a twin soul beast, one in a million, the Six-Winged Angel and the Death Prison Spider Emperor." Ilex nodded lightly, now resembling an experienced doctor listening to a patient''s symptoms to diagnose and treat them. "Good news, I awakened a twin soul beast. Bad news, one of them is an Evil Spirit Soul." Ling Bai self-deprecatingly said, "I''ll give you a bit of background. On the Tang Sect Continent, Evil Soul Masters with an Evil Spirit Soul are hunted down by everyone, even the dogs on the street dare to kick them! Of course, they have to be prepared for their legs to be broken." Hearing this, Ilex couldn''t help but smile. "You have a good attitude. From what I''ve observed, your Six-Winged Angel is of the purest holy attribute, with an extremely pure divinity within its essence. Even it can''t suppress the Death Prison Spider Emperor, no wonder you came to me for help." At this, Ling Bai''s face darkened slightly. "The Six-Winged Angel is blessed by the Angel God and is called the nemesis of evil on the Tang Sect Continent. However, the key is that I suspect there is a divine power within the Death Prison Spider Emperor, and that deity is far more powerful than the Angel God!" After the examination by the Nine Treasures Lustrous Sect''s leader, the Death Prison Spider Emperor was determined to be a top-tier variant soul beast, abination of the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, two great soul beast kings. Six-Winged Angel, Death Spider Emperor, Soul Devouring Spider Emperor... Ling Bai was born in Jialing City, where a battle between two deities had taken ce. He reasonably deduced that the Death Prison Spider Emperor possessed the power of the Raksha God! "Another deity?" Ilex''s brow furrowed, his face saying, ''Don''t push your luck, kid.'' "Senior." Ling Bai''s eyes seemed to gather a storm. "The Death Prison Spider Emperor is a death attribute soul beast. Death is a solemn and sacred matter, its purpose is to give meaning to life, the inevitable and only end of life. I don''t want to see it tainted by the power of an evil deity and fall into an Evil Spirit Soul. You are a sage in the path of death, and I hope you can lend me a hand." "Death is a solemn and sacred matter..." Ilex slowly repeated Ling Bai''s words, subconsciously recalling the god title he had given himself, the Holy Death Spirit Mage. Only when the result is death does life be particrly precious. Ling Bai''s understanding of death resonated with his own, and Ilex''s gaze towards Ling Bai held more admiration and approval. He said, "I have crossed time and space toe to the Tang Sect Continent and happened to meet you, lodging in your Spirit Sea. This is a predestined connection. I am Ilex, in my world, humans call me the Holy Death Spirit Mage, the Undead Catastrophe. You can call me Elder Electra from now on." "Yes, Elder Electra." Ling Bai bowed deeply to Ilex. Those words meant that Elder Electra had decided to help him. Ilex continued, "I have only a sliver of my soul left, with very little power remaining. I need some time to recover." "It''s fine. I''ve been through so much already; I can wait. You rest here, and I will seek some treasures from the outside world to help you regain your strength." "Very well, you may go." Ling Bai nodded, and the Holy Angel Sword, glowing with holy light, appeared in his right hand. He gently sliced through the air, turned, and walked through the crack created by the Holy Angel Sword, leaving the Spirit Sea. As Ling Bai left the Spirit Sea, a rustling sound suddenly echoed, and Ilex suddenly realized: "Something doesn''t seem right. Ling Bai is gone, and I''m left alone to face the Death Prison Spider Emperor with divine power!" Oh no, I''ve been tricked!

You can also join the Geriatric Trantions Community on Discord to connect with other readers: https://discord.gg/NSWvfN7vua Due to the Soul Ring''s age and other factors, Ling Bai and Tang Ya took a rtively long time to absorb their Soul Rings. Ning Tian took out some specially made medicines from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and sprinkled them around to drive away Spirit Beasts. "Mmm..." Ling Bai suddenly opened his eyes, exhaling a breath of turbid air. His bright golden eyes sparkled with a sharp light, and his spirit and vitality werepletely restored to their peak condition. "Brother Bai, you seeded!" Ning Tian was the first to notice Ling Bai''s unusual state and quickly walked over. Ling Bai patted her little head. As his soul power surged, four Soul Rings-yellow, purple, and ck-rapidly rose from his feet. The most eye-catching was the pitch-ck ten-thousand- year Soul Ring, emitting a deep and profound aura as if it could devour all surrounding light. From this moment on, Ling Bai''s strength had leaped to a new level. Feeling the new Fourth Soul Skill, a smile involuntarily curved on Ling Bai''s lips. The soul skill of the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon left him very satisfied. "What good luck." Wu Feng sneaked over and said in a lukewarm tone. "Congrattions, Junior Brother Ling. You have achieved your goal." Bei Bei''s eyes were filled withplex emotions. Ling Bai had fulfilled his promise, matching and even surpassing Tang San at the same soul rank. Tang San''s Soul Ringbination at the Soul Master level was merely yellow, yellow, purple, and ck. Huo Yuhao was extremely envious. Even though he had obtained an unprecedented million- year Soul Ring, he always felt that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm wasn''t very reliable, and it might not be as effective as a solid ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. Ling Bai stretched and walked towards the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s corpse. Seeing the scattered, bloody remains, he recalled the thrill of life slipping through his fingertips, and a desire rose in his heart, which he quickly suppressed. The Death Spider Emperor fed on flesh and blood, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor enjoyed devouring souls, and the fused Death Prison Spider Emperorbined the strengths of both! He wanted everything! As a soul power wielder, Ling Bai was inevitably influenced by the Death Prison Spider Emperor, but fortunately, the Six-Winged Angel helped him maintain hisst bit of rity. Ling Bai routinely checked for a Soul Bone, not expecting much, but suddenly he froze. With excitement, he sliced open the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s bone w with his sword. Inside was a Soul Bone! The Soul Bone was a pale golden color, resembling a human arm bone. Itsplete shape indicated its high quality, with five long fingers pointing upwards, each tip glowing with a faint pale golden light. A ten-thousand-year zing Bone Dragon Gryphon right arm bone! Everyone was immediately drawn to the Soul Bone. Wu Feng''s eyes widened in disbelief. "Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, Ling Bai, did you hit the jackpot?" In the next second, Ling Bai''s hand struck her head, and Wu Feng instantly crouched down, holding her head. "Girls, be more refined. Don''t talk about poop and pee all day." Ning Tian observed the Soul Bone''s soul power fluctuations and texture andmented, "Even with the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s collection, it''s hard to find a few Soul Bones that can match this one." "So beautiful..." Huo Yuhao, with his limited experience, couldn''t understand the Soul Bone, but its exquisite and luxurious appearance deeply impressed him, making him exim involuntarily. Bei Bei''s perception waspletely different from Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao. He said seriously, "I can sense a very strong light power from inside this Soul Bone. It must have inherited the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s Holy Dragon Bloodline, making it extremelypatible with your Six-Winged Angel soul power." Bei Bei''s Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus also inherited the Holy Dragon Bloodline from Dragon God Douluo Muen, so he could resonate with the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon Soul Bone''s light bloodline. Ling Bai contributed the most to killing the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon, so the Soul Bone naturally belonged to him. He didn''t hesitate and immediately sat down to absorb it. About an hourter, Ling Bai and Tang Ya woke up one after the other. This moment highlighted the vast gap in their talents. Despite absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring and a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, Ling Bai woke up faster than Tang Ya, who had only absorbed a thousand-year Soul Ring. Tang Ya learned from Bei Bei the exciting story of her Soul Ring absorption, and her small, moist lips formed arge O. None of her family members understood. Her worldview had copsed after just one nap! Her new little apprentice had a mental-type soul power, the Spirit Eye! Her junior was a direct disciple of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower! Her junior brother was actually a Six-Winged Angel, a Four-Ringed Six-Winged Angel! Thinking about how she would find it hard to break through to the Fourth Ring even after graduation, Tang Ya immediately cried and hid under a nearby tree root, muttering: "I curse you monsters to sneeze at midnight!" After a mix ofughter and tears, the group discussed their next n. The sky hadpletely darkened, and camping in the Star Dou Great Forest was not a good idea. The six people decisively decided to maintain their previous formation and quickly head towards the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Their luck was unusually good, and they only encountered a few hundred-year Spirit Beasts during their retreat, which the newly promoted Soul Exalted Tang Ya easily dealt with. Four hourster, they finally left the Star Dou Great Forest''s territory and continued to travel fifty kilometers outward, a distance thatpletely eliminated the risk of encountering Spirit Beasts. A gentle stream of water could be heard from nearby. Under the moonlight, a clear stream reflecting the starry sky appeared before them, the water''s crisp sound bringing a refreshing coolness. Tang Ya cheered and ran to the stream, her delicate hands scooping up water to ssh on her face. Ning Tian and Wu Feng joined Tang Ya. They were usually quite clean and used the stream water to wash off the dust and sweat from their bodies. Ling Bai held his neck with both hands and watched Ning Tian''s delicate back with a gentle smile. Huo Yuhao, with the powerful vision provided by the Spirit Eye, clearly saw the fish swimming at the bottom of the stream. He looked around at the familiar surroundings and eximed, "Teacher Xiaoya, Senior Brother, we ate Roast Fish here when we first met!" "What!" Upon hearing this, Tang Ya, who had been hungry for half a day, her eyes lit up, and she urged, "Yuhao, quickly! Bei Bei, catch the fish; I''ll gather firewood; you''re responsible for Roast Fish! Your Roast Fish is unforgettable, and I want Junior Brother Ling to taste your cooking!" She winked at Ling Bai and the others, "Trust your senior, Yuhao''s Roast Fish is super, super, super delicious!" Ling Bai strongly agreed with this. Having read "Absolute Tangmen," he always believed that Huo Yuhao''s talent for cooking was definitely above his cultivation! Even if he didn''t be a soul master in the future, he could certainly be a renowned chef! Bei Bei stood under a lush giant tree, smiled indulgently at Tang Ya''s call, and rolled up his sleeves, wading into the river. Blue and purple electric sparks danced around his fingertips. Ling Bai''s eyes twitched. He seemed to understand what Bei Bei was about to do and couldn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om only say: "Electrocuting fish!" "You''re really something!"

Huo Yuhao skewered several cleaned Bluefish with thin branches, half-squatting by the fire. His deep blue eyes emitted a faint golden glow, using the Spirit Eye''s keen observational skills to control the roasting temperature. The fire was fueled by Wu Feng''s Red Dragon Soul Power me, which was far hotter than ordinary mes. Soon, as Huo Yuhao turned the branches, a rich aroma began to waft through the air. The scent swirled, carrying the allure of food, continuously tempting everyone''s appetite. The white, tender fish meat began to turn golden, and the sound of discreet swallowing could be heard around the camp. Huo Yuhao, limited by his strength and the small, makeshift wooden rack, could only roast three fish at a time. Following the principle ofdies first, he distributed the first batch to Tang Ya, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng. He then wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued his noble culinary endeavor. "Wow, it smells so good!" Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao with a gaze full of anticipation. She couldn''t wait for the fish to cool and took a big bite of the crispy fish skin, the fresh fish meat instantly filling her mouth. Compared to Tang Ya, who had turned into a glutton, Ning Tian ate more elegantly. Her pearl-like teeth took small bites of the roasted fish, asionally pouting her red lips to blow away the heat, her eyes shing with satisfaction. To be fair, Huo Yuhao''s culinary talent was evident, as he had won the stomachs of women like Wang Dong''er and Ju Zi with his food. Even Ning Tian, a princess who had tasted the finest delicacies, nodded in approval. Seeing Ning Tian''s obvious enjoyment of the roasted fish, Wu Feng''s crimson eyes darted around. She secretly started another fire, took two fish that Huo Yuhao had prepared, rolled up her sleeves, and began roasting them. A few minutester, she proudly handed Ning Tian a roasted fish, her face flushed from the smoke, filled with expectation. Ning Tian took a small bite, savoring it carefully, and then hesitated, saying: "Hmm... Little Feng, you must be tired today. Why don''t you rest for a bit?" Low EQ: Comining about the food. High EQ: Concern for her fatigue. "Pfft!" Ling Bai couldn''t hold back herughter. Clowns weremon, but a female clown was rare. "Ah!?" Wu Feng was dumbfounded. She then took a bite of her own roasted fish,pared it with Huo Yuhao''s, and said dejectedly: "What''s going on? The same fish, but the difference is so big?" "Because your timing and temperature control weren''t precise enough, and you also missed the right moment to flip the fish. Also..." Ling Bai took the second batch of roasted fish from Huo Yuhao, nced sideways at Wu Feng, and said coolly, "You can''t cook, can you? You didn''t even use any seasoning for the fish." || || Wu Feng was stunned, then angrily threw the roasted fish she had prepared for Ning Tian into the river, clearly feeling defeated by Ling Bai again. Besides Huo Yuhao''s roasted fish, everyone took out some food from their storage soul tools and gathered around the campfire, chatting and enjoying a sumptuous dinner, which brought them closer together. Tang Ya was in high spirits. The delicious food prepared by the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s food soul master was truly top-notch, leading her to eat too much. After eating and drinking her fill, she patted her slightly bulging belly and fell asleep leaning against a tree. On the other side, the responsible Bei Bei was teaching his junior brother Huo Yuhao the Mystic Sky Technique and other Tang Sect secrets. Wu Feng was curious and wanted to see what the famous Tang Sect secrets looked like, but Ling Bai held her back by the neck. "What are you doing?" Wu Feng said angrily, looking like an angry pufferfish. "Are you stupid?" Ling Bai said bluntly, "Why should we show you the secrets of another sect?" "You have a point." Wu Feng reluctantly gave up her idea of observing and returned to Ning Tian''s side. "It''s fine, Ling brother." Bei Bei had just finished teaching the Tang Sect secrets and had Huo Yuhao practice the Mystic Sky Technique on his own. He stood up, stretching his sore muscles. Helping Huo Yuhao break through several blocked acupoints had been quite tiring. He said warmly: "The Tang Sect is no longer as prosperous as it once was, and it is a time of revival. If Wu Feng sister likes the Tang Sect secrets and wants to join, Tang Ya and I will warmly wee her, and we won''t force her to leave the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. The same goes for Ling brother and Ning sister; as long as you contribute to the Tang Sect''s revival in the future, that''s all we ask." Bei Bei naturally had his own motives. Nine-Colored Fairy Ning Rongrong had once joined the Tang Sect, which was a historical connection between the Tang Sect and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. If he could attract geniuses like Ling Bai and Ning Tian, the Tang Sect''s revival would be truly hopeful, just as it had been bolstered by the Seven Treasures Crystal Sect ten thousand years ago! "Thank you for your kindness, Bei brother, but we have no ns to join another sect for now." Ning Tian was much more astute than the naive Wu Feng and politely declined Bei Bei''s invitation. Ha, the Tang Sect, with barely enough people to count on one hand, why would ady of a prestigious sect lower herself? Ning Rongrong had joined the Tang Sect because of the bond with the Seven Monsters and the near-destruction of the sect by the Soul Temple! Ling Bai''s reason for refusing the Tang Sect was even simpler. Tang San''s sect? Forget it! With the recruitment n failing, Bei Bei didn''t press the issue. Everyone tacitly moved on from the topic and discussed who would take the night watch. In the end, the two boys took on the gentlemanly role and volunteered to take the night watch, while the girls fell into a sweet slumber, and Huo Yuhao continued his cultivation. It was his first time, after all, and the experience was somewhat special. Bei Bei looked at Ning Tian, who was sleeping peacefully in Ling Bai''s arms, and asked curiously, "Ling brother, how did you join the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower?" The flickering yellow mes cast a nostalgic light on Ling Bai''s face as he said softly, "By fate, I suppose. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s leader found me as a baby." Ling Bai was very grateful to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s leader. As a defenseless infant in a new world, if not for the leader''s adoption, he might not have survived this long. "Is that so..." Bei Bei pondered. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had abandoned the grudge from ten thousand years ago when they were nearly wiped out by the Soul Temple and were willing to cultivate Ling Bai. He could see that the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was investing everything in Ling Bai, even considering him for the position of the next leader. He shook his head, thinking it wasn''t his business how the other sect thought, and said, "With your strength, not just the freshmen... I doubt there''s anyone in the entire Shrek Academy Outer Court who can match you." Bei Bei was one of the two top stars in the Outer Court, already among the best fighters in the Shrek Academy Outer Court. However, he felt inferior to Ling Bai in both soul power and soul skill, leading him to this conclusion. "Ha." Ling Bai didn''t respond, saying instead, "Brother Bei, you''ve had a long day. I''ll take the first half of the night, and you can rest." "Alright, I''ll take the second half." After Bei Bei fell asleep, Ling Bai suddenly said softly:N?v(el)B\\jnn "The Outer Court... is indeed quite boring..."

Bei Bei, who was responsible for everyone''s safety during thetter half of the night, hurriedly got up and woke Huo Yuhao, who had be somewhat obsessed with the Mystic Sky Technique. At the same time, Tang Ya, who had been sleeping in a disheveled manner, seemed to have been suddenly hit by an early morning rm. She instantly sprang up and darted to Bei Bei''s side like a shadow. The three of them sat facing east, their spiritspletely focused. They breathed in gently and slowly, their eyes fixed on the faint purple hue. Bei Bei and Tang Ya each exhaled a stream of white vapor, which gradually dissipated after several breaths. Huo Yuhao, who had just learned the Mystic Sky Technique, was not as powerful as the two of them. He could only feel the Spiritual Power of his Spirit Eye being nourished by a gentle, mysterious force, with effects far better than a whole night of cultivation. Ling Bai, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng woke up from their sleep and meditation, all looking at the three Tang Sect members who were immersed in cultivation. Ning Tian''s deep azure eyes revealed a hint of curiosity as she said with interest, "Is this a secret technique of the Tang Sect?" Ling Bai nodded slightly, "Purple Extreme Demon Eye, a secret technique used by Tang Sect disciples to cultivate their mental and visual powers using the purple qi from the east." "Quite interesting." The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was notcking in techniques for cultivating mental power, so Ning Tian''s evaluation of the Purple Extreme Demon Eye was merely that it was somewhat intriguing. After the Tang Sect trio finished their cultivation, the group continued their journey to Shrek Academy. The route they had set required them to bypass the Star Dou Great Forest. Due to Huo Yuhao''s weak physical condition, the six of them moved at a slower pace. It took them three full days to finally see the outline of Shrek Academy. Following the main road out of the forest, they saw the tall city walls stretching out to the left and right on the distant in. Compared to their impression of the academy, Shrek was more like a city. Shrek City was built on the Lima in, covering an extremely vast area. As one of thergest cities on the Douluo Continent, it had a permanent poption of over two million, far exceeding the size of the Nine Treasures City under the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Only the capitals of the Four Great Empires could rival it.N?v(el)B\\jnn Shrek Academy was not located at the center of Shrek City but in the eastern part, subtly opposing the Star Dou Great Forest. If the Star Dou Great Forest were to everunch a beast tide, Shrek Academy would be the first line of defense, preventing the soul beast army from causing countless deaths and injuries on the continent. The western, southern, and northern gates of Shrek City were open for free entry and exit, but the eastern gate was exclusive to Shrek Academy. It was currently the annual Admissions Season, and the East Gate was extremely bustling. More than five thousand people gathered outside the East Gate, the noise of voices and the bustle of vendors who had set up countless stalls at the gate made the outside more lively than the inside. At the gate, a dozen young people in yellow school uniforms stood guard. They were second and third-year students of Shrek Academy. Bei Bei, relying on the fame of the Twin Stars, directly brushed past with everyone, bypassing the queue. Feeling the strange gazes gathering on them, Tang Ya touched her face, puzzled, and said, "What''s wrong with these students? Why are they always looking at us? Bei Bei, help me check if I didn''t wash my face this morning!" Bei Bei smiled and stretched out his mischievous hands to pinch Tang Ya''s smooth, fair face several times. He inwardly praised his girlfriend''s skin, and with a smile, he said, "It''s not about you, it''s mainly because of them..." Bei Bei nodded towards Ling Bai and Ning Tian, who were admiring the scenery. Tang Ya turned her head and immediately understood. Their wless beauty, a result of their genes,bined with the noble aura cultivated in their superior environment, made them truly out of this world. One attracted men, and the other attracted women, with a 100% return rate wherever they went. Tang Ya discovered within five minutes that eight people had nearly collided with pirs while admiring the opposite sex, including several new students in white school uniforms, whose youthful faces visibly turned red. This made Tang Ya shake her head in sigh, "Being young is truly great, innocent young men!" Bei Bei and Tang Ya led the four of them into Shrek Academy. Unlike the bustling atmosphere at the city gate, the environment inside Shrek Academy was beautiful and serene, with a rich variety of lush vegetation. Walking down the wide avenue, one could see at least ten different types of nts, carefully cultivated by nt-type soul masters, in any direction they looked. After advancing two hundred meters, several massive statues blocked their view. There were ten statues in total, each nearly ten meters tall, all carved from the hardest granite. "These are the ancestors of Shrek Academy." Seeing the statues, Bei Bei and Tang Ya both stood up straight, their expressions revealing a hint of respect and admiration. "Golden Iron Triangle and the Shrek Seven Monsters." ndre, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong, the founders of Shrek Academy,id the foundation for Shrek''s ten-thousand-year glory. Dai Mubai, Oscar, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, the names of the first Shrek Seven Monsters echoed across the Douluo Continent, marking the beginning of Shrek''s ten-thousand-year glory. Ling Bai''s gaze swept over the lifelike ten statues, lingering for a few seconds on two of them. One of them was naturally Tang San. Ling Bai observed Tang San, with his blue long hair and a gentle smile, whose actions in the Tang Sect were astonishing. Eighty percent of Huo Yuhao''s hardships were due to this person. The other one who caught Ling Bai''s attention was a graceful and elegant woman, exuding a noble aura. Her palm, as white as jade, held a small nine-colored tower, her beauty and grace unmatched. Ning Rongrong, the Nine-Colored Fairy, the ancestor of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Ling Bai had no particr interest in Ning Rongrong; he only saw a trace of Ning Tian in her. The others also repeatedlypared Ning Tian and Ning Rongrong, and Wu Feng was amazed, unable to understand how people separated by ten thousand years could be so simr! No one noticed Huo Yuhao''splex gaze as he looked at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. It was a mix of admiration and reverence for the ancestors and hatred and disgust for the Duke of White Tiger. He bit his lip tightly, lowered his head, and walked at the back, trying to avoid drawing attention to his unusual state. At the end of the statues was a fork in the road. Tang Ya pointed to the sides and introduced, "From here, the paths will diverge. Therger area on the left is the Soul Master Department, and the smaller one on the right is the Soul Engineer Department. Bei Bei and I will take you to the registration office for new students in the Soul Master Department." The recruitment process was nearing its end, and the Shrek Academy registration office was no longer as bustling as it was initially. Only a few students were queuing up to register. A middle-aged man in his forties sat at the registration desk. He was tall and had a clean- shaven face, with a cold and stern expression. His badge on his chest bore his name and position. Dean of the Outer Academy, Du Weilun. (End of Chapter) Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Six-Winged Angel VS Electric Mad Leopard (Part 1) Chapter 14: Six-Winged Angel VS Electric Mad Leopard (Part 1) ?

Bei Bei smiled at Du Weilun. "Hello, Director Du." Ling Bai and the other three gave a slight bow, a basic courtesy to teachers and elders. "Mm-hmm." Du Weilun nodded and began the formal registration process for the new students. He asked, "Names, please." The four exchanged nces, and then Ling Bai spoke up first, "Ling Bai, the Ling from ''Soaring to the Heavens'' and the Bai from ''White."" Du Weilun neatly wrote "Ling Bai" on the registration form, nced at Ling Bai, and a hint of surprise and doubt shed in his eyes. He asked, "Gender?" "...Male." "Pfft!" Seeing Ling Bai''s sudden stiff expression, Tang Ya and Wu Feng burst outughing without any regard for his feelings. Ning Tian''s face also showed a faint smile, and Ling Bai felt embarrassed for the first time in over a decade. "You look quite pretty," Du Weilun said nonchntly, evenplimenting Ling Bai. Ling Bai couldn''t help but correct him, "Director Du, for a male, ''handsome'' would be more appropriate." "My point is, you''re prettier than most girls." "Thank you very much, Director Du." Ling Bai gritted his teeth as he said this, and Wu Fengughed even louder, secretly deciding to give Ling Bai a nickname "Sissy." Ning Tian and the other three then reported their names, and Du Weilun immediately felt that this year''s new students seemed especially good-looking. "Let''s do a quick test. Hand me your hand." Ling Bai extended his hand, his long and fair fingers making Tang Ya envious. The earlier joke made her start noticing the details of Ling Bai''s appearance, realizing that a boy''s skin could be much fairer than hers. Was Six-Winged Angel so naturally gifted? Du Weilun reached out and held Ling Bai''s hand. To be admitted to Shrek Academy''s Outer Court, there were three requirements: not exceeding twelve years old, Soul Power not below level fifteen, and a rmendation letter from one of the three major empire''s capital cities. "Eleven years old, bone age appropriate." Du Weilun confirmed Ling Bai''s real age through his hand bones. He picked up a Blue Crystal Ball from the table and handed it to Ling Bai for the second step of the Soul Power test. Golden Soul Power surged into the crystal ball, and in an instant, Ling Bai''s hand was bathed in a radiant light, making the crystal ball shine like a diamond. The crystal ball''s testing limit was level thirty. The intense light filling every corner of the crystal ball indicated that Ling Bai had at least level thirty Soul Power. "This is the third level thirty this year." Du Weilun''s expression suddenly became strange, "Monsters are a yearly urrence, but there are particrly many today!" "Director Du, there''s actually a fourth one." The same brilliant light shed again, and the girl''s smile was sly and bright, as if she was delighted to give the Shrek Academy Outer Court Dean a bit more shock.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Sure enough, Du Weilun was stunned. When he recovered, heughed and scolded, "Alright, alright. Once school starts, I''ll make sure the homeroom teacher gives you two a good workout! Next, please." Du Weilun''s tone rose a few notches. With Ling Bai and Ning Tian setting the bar high, he had higher expectations for Wu Feng and Huo Yuhao. However, the result was slightly disappointing. The crystal ball in Wu Feng''s hand glowed, but it was clearly far from level thirty. Her Soul Power was probably between level twenty- five and twenty-six. Sigh, I was being too greedy... Du Weilun sighed inwardly. For a moment, he thought all four of them were level thirty monsters. "Next." Director Du said with a hint of disappointment. "Pass... uh!?" Du Weilun almost instinctively said "pass," but he swallowed the words at thest moment. He stood up abruptly and stared at the faintly glowing crystal ball in Huo Yuhao''s hand, frowning. "Level eleven Soul Power?" Two monsters, one genius, how could they bring a dunce? Just as Du Weilun was about to explode, Tang Ya stepped in to help Huo Yuhao, "Director Du, the Tang Sect gets one exemption slot each year. As the current head of the Tang Sect, I''ve used this year''s slot for Little Yuhao." "Oh, right, I almost forgot you''re the Tang Sect head." Du Weilun rubbed his chin and teased, "I remember you went through the school process when you entered. Are you willing to use the slot this year?" "Hehe, Little Yuhao is my new disciple. As his teacher, I have to take care of him!" Tang Ya said with a grin. "Alright." Du Weilun looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "You''re exempt from the test, but I have to warn you. Even if you''re rmended by the Tang Sect, if you don''t pass the new student assessment in three months, you''ll still be eliminated. I hope you can catch up with your ssmates'' Soul Power as quickly as possible." Huo Yuhao clenched his fists and said firmly, "I won''t let Teacher Xiaoya or you down!" "Young people with ambition is a good thing," Du Weilun praised. He then turned to Ling Bai and the others, "Show me your rmendation letters." Ning Tian took out three letters from her storage soul conductor, each with a white envelope and a beautiful, colorful nine-colored seal in the center. "You''re from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower?" Du Weilun recognized the nine-colored seal. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was the secondrgest sect in the world ten thousand years ago. Although it was no longer as prosperous as before, it was still one of the super sects. "Yes, Director Du," Ning Tian smiled lightly. Du Weilun''s attitude became more friendly, "The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, like the Tang Sect, gets one exemption slot each year for the Outer Court. Look at you guys, insisting on taking the test!" Shrek Academy and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower have had a friendly rtionship for ten thousand years. Each generation, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower sends a direct disciple to Shrek Academy for further studies. Due to the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower''s powerful abilities as the continent''s top auxiliary weapon soul, they always be part of the Shrek Seven Monsters, representing the academy in the Soul Master Tournament. For such a prestigious and capable sect disciple, Du Weilun was naturally more talkative. "By the way, you''re Ning Tian, right..." Du Weilun suddenly became hesitant, stammering in front of Ning Tian''s puzzled expression, "How''s Patriarch Ning these years?" Before Ning Tian could answer, he quickly added, "Patriarch Ning and I were ssmates at Shrek Academy. It''s been so long since we''ve seen each other, I... I just wanted to ask casually..." "Um..." Ning Tian leaned back slightly, while the others looked like they were waiting for a show, clearly seeing that Director Du and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s sect leader had an unusual rtionship. "My mother is doing well." Ning Tian maintained her manners, suspecting that Du Weilun was the "dog" her mother had talked about for nearly a decade. "That''s good... that''s good..." Du Weilun rubbed his hands together, his face turning red, "If you have any difficulties with your studies,e to the Dean. The Dean will help you!" "Thank you, Dean." "You all have passed the entrance test. Bei Bei and Tang Ya will take you to get your school uniforms and badges. The dormitory building''s soul conductor screen will show your random ss assignments. It''s gettingte, so go back and rest!" Du Weilun turned his head, waving them away, clearly feeling a bit embarrassed. "Wait, Director Du!" Just as Du Weilun was mentally scolding himself for being weak, a clear voice suddenly interrupted him. "What else?" Du Weilun''s face showed displeasure. "I heard the Shrek Academy''s Inner Court admission criteria are, under eighteen years old, and Soul Power level forty." "Right, what''s your point?" Du Weilun turned his head and saw Ling Bai''s Soul Ring slowly rising from his feet. Yellow, Purple, Purple, ck! In Du Weilun''s eyes, this boy, who was prettier than most girls, suddenly exuded a different aura. The light in his golden eyes was as sharp as a sword. "Director Du, may I have the qualification to take the Shrek Academy Inner Court exam?"

Du Weilun''s mouth dropped open, his face filled with disbelief,pletely disregarding the "majestic" image of the Head of Discipline. "Prodigy! A true prodigy!" At eleven years old, a Four-Ringed Soul Master! Such talent would stand at the pinnacle of Shrek Academy, the top Soul Master Academy on the continent, let alone the four soul rings surpassing the limits: Yellow, Purple, Purple, ck! If Du Weilun''s memory served him correctly, Tang San, the ancestor who eventually became the Sea God and the core and soul of Shrek Academy''s Seven Monsters ten thousand years ago, only had a soul ring configuration of Yellow, Yellow, Purple, ck at the Four-Ringed stage! As a Head of Discipline known for his strict and unfeeling demeanor, Du Weilun, who always adhered to Shrek Academy''s motto, had an unprecedented urge to give Ling Bai special treatment. Let him in! Let him in! Du Weilun struggled to maintain hisposure, calming his emotions and speaking in a deep voice, "Since you have the cultivation of a Soul Master, you naturally qualify for the Inner Academy examination. As the Head of Discipline and the examiner for the new students, I must remind you that Shrek Academy is known as the top academy on the continent, but the Outer Academy was founded at the request of the three empires to cultivate more talent for the continent. To Shrek Academy, only the Inner Academy is truly the top. Even the outstanding students who stand out in the Outer Academy are few and far between when ites to being promoted to the Inner Academy each year, and those who fail the Inner Academy examination are not allowed to remain in the academy. I won''t borate on the difficulty of directly entering the Inner Academy without undergoing the Outer Academy education toy a solid foundation; you should understand that." "Brother Bai, why do you suddenly want to take the Inner Academy examination?" Ning Tian asked anxiously, while Wu Feng''s crimson eyes also showed concern. Bei Bei was momentarily stunned but then smiled understandingly. Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya were filled with admiration. One of them struggled to pass the new student examination, while the other was troubled by how to graduate from the Outer Academy. Now, Ling Bai actually hoped to skip the entire Outer Academy education and directly enter the Inner Academy. The two master and apprentice were on the verge of hugging each other and cursing the heavens: Injustice! I hate geniuses! Ling Bai feigned distress and said, "Little Tian, Director Du... I''ve already broken through to the Soul Master stage. Competing with new students whose average strength is less than two rings is honestly too much of a bully and a waste of talent. If I can''t take the Inner Academy examination, I''d rather go back to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and leave." Du Weilun fell silent. Shrek Academy''s motto is to only ept prodigies, not ordinary people. With Ling Bai''s talent, he could march straight into the academy without anyone daring to stop him. Du Weilun, no, even the principal, would have to find a way to keep him in the academy. Leave? Being handsome is one thing, but you''re dreaming if you think you can just leave! "Student Ling Bai, you''ve misunderstood. My point is..." Du Weilun cleared his throat, trying not to show his eagerness too much, "You can give up on the Inner Academy examination and enter the Outer Academy as a transfer student in the third year, which would put you in the same ss as Bei Bei and Tang Ya." "Hmm?" The moment Du Weilun mentioned "transfer student," Bei Bei and Tang Ya''s expressions became peculiar, and they tilted their heads in unison, as if there was something wrong with him. When has Shrek Academy ever had a transfer student? Who are you? Where is our fair and just Du Qingtian? Du Weilun''s face turned red, but he was also helpless. It was impossible to let Ling Bai leave, and with his high talent,peting with new students whose strength was mainly at the one or two ring level would be aplete mismatch. If he took the Inner Academy examination, Du Weilun didn''t think he could pass without undergoing the Outer Academy education. So, after much thought, Du Weilun had a sudden idea: let Ling Bai enter the third year as a transfer student alongside Bei Bei and Tang Ya. Du Weilun looked at Ling Bai, a glimmer of hope shing in his eyes! Ling Bai caught Du Weilun''s eye signal: Come to me! "Thank you, Director Du, for your kindness, but I don''t want to enter the Outer Academy." Ling Bai declined the offer. From the age of six to eleven, he had already learnedbat techniques, soul beast recognition, soul master theory, and more at the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower over the past five years. The Sect Leader and the Sect Guardian Douluo had personally taught him, and these two great figures were far superior to the six-ringed Outer Academy teachers. For Ling Bai, the Outer Academy education was almost a waste of time. That night, Bei Bei''s casual words had made Ling Bai think deeply, ultimately leading him to decide to take the Inner Academy examination. Moreover, Ilex had just spoken in his mind. There was an ultimate treasure that could suppress the evil power of the Death Prison Spider Emperor in the center of Shrek Academy! The center of Shrek Academy was the Sea God Ind, the ce where Inner Academy students trained. Therefore, Ling Bai had apelling reason to enter the Inner Academy! "Please take me to the Inner Academy examination." Du Weilun''s facial muscles tensed, and he said, "For thirty-seven years, no outsider has entered the Inner Academy." "Strong people don''t give up because of difficulties." Ling Bai only said one sentence, but Du Weilun, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and the others could see the determination and confidence on his face. "Young man, you''re stubborn!" Du Weilun scolded, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved upward. He had been trying to dissuade Ling Bai from challenging the Inner Academy, but deep down, he secretly hoped Ling Bai would face the challenge. As Ling Bai said, only those who never fear challenges deserve to be called strong. "I''ll take you, but if you fail, you''ll have to go back and be a transfer student!" Du Weilun exhaled heavily, waving his hand to signal Ling Bai to follow. "Thank you, Director Du." Ling Bai smiled and thanked him. Yeah, Director Du is a good person. The Sect Leader must have been confused back then! "Director Du, Director Du! Can we observe the Inner Academy examination?" Tang Ya sped her hands together, her eyes sparkling with pleading stars, while Bei Bei couldn''t help butugh and cry at the same time. Seeing Tang Ya''s enthusiasm, he had to plead on her behalf: "Yes, Director Du, let us go." He knew that with Tang Ya''s talent, without a stroke of luck, it would be impossible for her to enter the Inner Academy, let alone graduate smoothly from the Outer Academy. Taking her to observe the Inner Academy examination was essentially fulfilling her dream. "Hmm..." Du Weilun pondered for a moment. Tang Ya was lively, clever, and likable, but her martial soul and strength were average in Shrek Academy. If only she wanted to observe the Inner Academy examination, he would have tly refused. However, Bei Bei was a top genius in the Outer Academy, with a 100% chance of entering the Inner Academy. Du Weilun had heard from the head of the martial soul department that Bei Bei seemed to have a familial rtionship with one of the elders in Shrek Academy. Since the Inner Academy examination changes every year, there''s no fear of outsiders knowing the content, and this favor could be granted. Du Weilun said coolly, "Considering you two will be eligible for the Inner Academy examination in a few years, this time I''ll let you gain some experience. It won''t happen again. Little Tian, Wu Feng, Huo Yuhao, today is thest day of the academy''s recruitment. Tomorrow morning is the first ss for new students. You three should go back to your dormitories and rest."

Brother Bai, Little Feng, and I are waiting for your good news." Ning Tian lifted her willow-like eyebrows and shed a mischievous smile, then bowed and turned to leave with Wu Feng. Huo Yuhao, seeing this, hurriedly followed and asked cautiously: "Um... You seem pretty rxed. Aren''t you worried that Ling Bai might fail the assessment?" "Fail?" Wu Feng seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world and said in surprise: "Shrek Academy''s Inner Academy freshmen are just Soul Masters. How could an assessment for Soul Masters stop that guy? Are you underestimating the Six-Winged Angel, or have you forgotten how he slew the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon with just three soul rings?" "Right..." Huo Yuhao suddenly recalled that while Shrek Academy was indeed strict, Ling Bai was a monster in his own right! Ning Tian ced her hands behind her back and chuckled mischievously, "Mother always said that the Inner Academy students are all full of pride. It''s good for Brother Bai to give them a taste of his strength." "Ning Tian, you''re so naughty!" Wu Feng giggled, "But I like it!" On the other side, Du Weilun led the three of them around several buildings of various colors. Bei Bei and Tang Ya introduced Ling Bai to the Outer Academy Teaching Buildings, which were represented by white, yellow, purple, and ck, each color denoting a different grade. After passing the white building for freshmen, the four of them finally arrived at the Testing Area, which resembled a stadium surrounded by a low wall. The sky was already dark, and the dim sunset was gradually being reced by stars and the moon. The Testing Area was lit by white Soul Conductor Lamps, indicating that someone was still inside. The moment they entered, a woman noticed them. "Director Du?" The woman was in her early twenties, with long, smooth ck hair that fell to her waist. Her fair face was wless, her eyes like water, giving off a dreamy, misty feeling. "It''s Le Xuan." Seeing her, Du Weilun smiled kindly. "Zhang Le Xuan..." Ling Bai, having heard Du Weilun''s address, immediately recognized the woman''s identity. Zhang Le Xuan, the adopted child of Dragon God Douluo Muen, was exceptionally talented, deeply cultivated, and of excellent character. She was widely recognized as a Senior Sister in Shrek Academy''s Inner Academy. She was also Bei Bei''s... Child Bride. Ling Bai noticed out of the corner of his eye that Bei Bei''s body stiffened slightly when he saw Zhang Le Xuan, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on Tang Ya''s hand, causing her to yelp in pain. In addition to Zhang Le Xuan, there were five others in the Testing Area-three men and two women-each with a different posture but all exuding confidence and excitement. "Not bad, you''ve all passed the Inner Academy assessment." Du Weilun nodded slightly at the five. As the Dean of the Outer Academy, Du Weilun was very familiar with the Outer Academy''s geniuses. The five present were all core students he had previously identified as Inner Academy candidates. "Hehe, just lucky. Thanks for the years of teaching and care from the Outer Academy and the Dean." One of the tall, handsome men among the five scratched his head and smiled. "Alright, no need to tter me here. Work hard in the Inner Academy. If I hear you''ve been eliminated, I''ll deal with you!" Du Weilun scolded with a smile. "Ah, this..." The man was taken aback. Just like the Outer Academy, Shrek Academy''s Inner Academy had a very strict elimination system, and he wasn''t confident he could make it all the way to graduation! "Brother Chu, you have a long road ahead." The two other male students patted his shoulder and sighed. Brother Chu suddenly felt that being admitted to the Inner Academy wasn''t as exciting as he thought; the pressure seemed even greater. After putting pressure on the Chu student, Du Weilun turned his gaze to Zhang Le Xuan, "Le Xuan, are you preparing to take them to the ind?" Shrek Academy''s Inner and Outer Academies were taught separately. On the way, Ling Bai had seen the Outer Academy, which was not much different from a university campus in his previous life. The Inner Academy, however, was located on Sea God Ind in the center of the academy''s Sea God Lake, a holy ce that most soul masters could only dream of reaching. "Yes, Director Du." Zhang Le Xuan''s tone was calm and her gaze steady. "The Inner Academy assessment is over. I''m responsible for taking this year''s five freshmen to the ind to help them integrate quickly." "Over?" Du Weilun was taken aback but quickly recovered. Right, they had registered in the evening, and now the moon was high in the sky. It wouldn''t make sense to have the assessment at such ate hour. "Le Xuan, I have a student who wants to take the Inner Academy assessment as an external candidate. He''s quite talented, and I thought I''d give him a chance." Du Weilun chose his words carefully. Though he was the Dean of the Outer Academy and often stern, he knew his status in the Shrek Academy hierarchy didn''t match Zhang Le Xuan''s. They were not on the same level. "External?" Zhang Le Xuan nced at the three people behind Du Weilun, immediately locking onto Ling Bai. She was familiar with Bei Bei and, due to Bei Bei, had some knowledge of Tang Ya. Not just Zhang Le Xuan, but the five Inner Academy freshmen also did the same. Bei Bei and Tang Ya were well-known in the Outer Academy, and by process of elimination, everyone knew who the external student was. "So young!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "So handsome!" The five couldn''t help but exim. The boys were more focused on Ling Bai''s age. He looked younger than Bei Bei and Tang Ya but was already a four-ringed Soul Master. This level of talent was somewhat terrifying. The girls were immediately drawn to Ling Bai''s looks. Even in Shrek Academy, Ling Bai''s appearance was universally appealing, and one of the female students began to eye him with interest. "Since Director Du rmends him so highly, I have no problem. Let''s give this student an additional test." Zhang Le Xuan was a decisive person. She had studied in the Outer Academy before and knew that Du Weilun wouldn''t make such a rmendation without reason. Ling Bai must have some outstanding qualities. "Ling Bai, thank Senior Sister." Du Weilun quickly reminded Ling Bai. "Thank you, Senior Sister." "No need to thank me. I haven''t done anything. Whether you pass the additional test or not depends on you." Zhang Le Xuan smiled lightly and extended her pale hand, pointing to the five freshmen behind her. "It''ste, so we won''t waste time. Ling Bai, I''ll give you a small privilege. These are this year''s freshmen from the Outer Academy who have been promoted to the Inner Academy. Choose one and defeat them, and this year will have six Inner Academy freshmen." "Is the Inner Academy assessment so... simple?" Ling Bai looked at the smiling woman, recing the word ''casual'' with ''simple'' at thest moment. Zhang Le Xuan smiled faintly and shook her head, "This is simplified. Whyplicate things when they can be simple? No matter what education a soul master receives, it ultimately servesbat. A young Soul Master indicates exceptional cultivation talent, and an external student defeating a Shrek Academy student indicates strongbat talent. Shrek Academy doesn''t ept ordinary people, only monsters. If you can do these two things, you, my friend, are a monster!" "Fair enough." Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Ling Bai admitted that Zhang Le Xuan''s words were true. The value ofbat far outweighed any test, as it revealed not only what a person had learned in the past but also their potential for future development. However... "Are you sure you want me to choose?" Ling Bai asked. "Not afraid I''ll pick a support-type?" "Go ahead. See the difference between Shrek Academy''s support-type and external support- type. Friendly reminder: the only support-type among the five is also a soul conductor." Zhang Le Xuan''s smile never wavered, and her absolute confidence was impressive. Ling Bai thought that Tang Ya must have some special skills to have won Bei Bei from such a woman. Turning his head, he saw Tang Ya''s clear, innocent eyes. Case closed. Dumb luck. With that, Ling Bai stopped talking and began to size up the five Inner Academy freshmen. Five people, three men and two women, each with unique characteristics. Lower-rank soul masters often inadvertently reveal details about their soul beasts and abilities, and Ling Bai was particrly skilled at capturing and analyzing these details. Brother Chu, who had been joking with Du Weilun, had long, well-proportioned limbs. His hands, hanging by his sides, asionally formed a cat-like shape, indicating a feline-type soul beast, likely an agile attacker. The other male wasrge and muscr, with a robust build and vigorous qi and blood, suggesting a strong attacker or defender, a power-type soul master. The third male had an ordinary appearance and a faint life force, indicating a nt-type soul master. The female was a support-type and also a soul conductor. When Ling Bai mentioned the possibility of choosing a support-type, her expression clearly changed, showing a desire for combat. Finally, the girl with short green hair, who was the most beautiful among the Inner Academy freshmen, almost on par with Ning Tian. Her figure was mature, with slightly upturned, reddish eyes that sparkled and captivated the heart. From her appearance, it was hard to tell what type of soul beast she had, but the air around her had a faint, sweet, and slightly bloody scent. Ling Bai deduced that she might be skilled in using poison! "I''ll choose Brother Chu." From the micro-expressions and details, the girl with short green hair was likely the strongest among the five, followed by Brother Chu. Ling Bai didn''t want to bully a girl, so he chose Brother Chu as a second option. "Go, Chu Qingtian. The rest of you, step back. You two, fight without holding back. Director Du and I will ensure your safety." Zhang Le Xuan instructed. "Yes, Senior Sister!" Chu Qingtian strode forward and stood firmly opposite Ling Bai. Du Weilun and the others moved to the side, giving them ample space. "Chu Qingtian, a forty-seventh-level agile attacker Soul Master, soul beast: Electric Mad Leopard. Please guide me." Chu Qingtian bowed and said clearly. Two yellow and two purple soul rings shone brightly, and his body began to sprout brownish- yellow fur, with three camouge-like ck marks appearing on each side of his face. Electric Mad Leopard form! "Ling Bai, a forty-first-level strong attacker Soul Master, soul beast: Six-Winged Angel." "Please guide me..." Four soul rings-yellow, purple, purple, and ck-rose fiercely!

Chu Qingtian suspected he was suddenly hearing things, but then he saw the Six-Winged Angel''s ethereal shadow and the four soul rings-Yellow, Purple, Purple, ck-behind Ling Bai, and his breath caught in his throat. At first, he had thought Ling Bai was just an outsider soul master, while he himself was a genius from the Inner Academy of the Continental First Academy. The superior horse should easily win against the inferior one. Now, with their positions reversed, Chu Qingtian had be the inferior horse! He put aside all his past pride and arrogance, facing his opponent with the demeanor of a strong enemy, staring intently at Ling Bai, who held the Holy Angel Sword! Chu Qingtian did not retreat from the legendary divine soul, but instead felt an unprecedented surge of excitement! A mortal charging towards the exalted god! The first yellow soul ring flickered! First soul skill: Rapid Lightning! The Electric Mad Leopard is an anomaly among soul beasts, as lightning is an extremely violent and destructive attribute. Most lightning-attribute soul beasts possess terrifying destructive power, such as the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus. However, the Electric Mad Leopard is different; it has abandoned destructive power in favor of speed! elerate with Lightning! Behind Chu Qingtian, it seemed as if lightning was rising, and with the effect of the Rapid Lightning soul skill, his speed instantly soared to its peak, charging towards Ling Bai like a fleeting bolt of lightning. However, at this moment, Ling Bai''s gaze towards Chu Qingtian showed no emotional fluctuation. Those originally brilliant golden eyes were now cold and indifferent, like a gateway to the abyss. The Holy Angel Sword was raised, the long and sharp de shimmering with a golden glow, faintly tinged with a hazy bloodlight, imbued with infinite judgment and ughter! Second soul skill: Evil-Banishing sh! Chu Qingtian, charging towards him, subconsciously showed a look of fear. He had studied in the Outer Academy for many years and had experienced countless battles, but he had never seen such a terrifying sword strike. It seemed to tear through everything before him, cutting through his flesh and soul, sending him to the depths of hell, doomed to eternal darkness!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Ling Bai''s second soul ring came from the millennium soul beast, Yin-Yang Sky Falcon. Ancient texts recorded that it contained the bloodline of the ancient Yin-Yang Chaos Bird, a top-tier soul beast nearing extinction. It naturally possessed the attributes of light and darkness. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had spent three months to find it. The Evil-Banishing sh inherited the dual attributes of light and darkness from the Yin- Yang Sky Falcon, appearing vastly different to different people. Chu Qingtian could only feel the Holy Angel Sword''s chilling and terrifying force, as if it would send him to hell, while Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and others saw the Holy Angel Sword''s radiant and sacred light! The crystal-like golden long sword, with its slender de, resembled transparent crystal iid with golden bone spines. The de was sharp, and the sword''s body was as slender as the waist of a peerless beauty, exuding countless charms and unparalleled beauty! The golden light in Ling Bai''s hand transformed into an intense killing intent, the sword''s momentum glorious and grand, the Holy Angel Sword''s de destroying everything in its path! "Holy cow...!" "What the hell, is this level forty-one?" "Sweating like crazy, Brother Chu!" "You guys are enough, I''m feeling sorry for him!" The shouts and cries were incessant, mostly from the other four Inner Academy freshmen, especially the support-type beauty, who was scared stiff. With the terrifying pressure Ling Bai and the Holy Angel Sword exuded, even a level five soul engineer would struggle to withstand it, let alone a mere level four! All thoughts of battle desire and regret for not being chosen by Ling Bai vanished like smoke, leaving only one emotion in their hearts. Relief! Relief that the Holy Angel Sword was not pointing at them! On the other side, Tang Ya was shouting, "Wow! Cool!" This was the first time she had seen the Six-Winged Angel in person, and it was simply... Too cool! Seeing his girlfriend turn into a little fangirl, Bei Bei felt a twinge of jealousy. If it were anyone else, he wouldn''t have cared, but with Ling Bai... He was nervous! "Director Du, what''s going on? How can there be a Six-Winged Angel in the academy?" Zhang Lexuan''s eyebrows furrowed slightly. As the senior sister of the Inner Academy, she understood from just that one Evil-Banishing sh what level Ling Bai''sbat power was. "I''m not sure either, but he is a disciple of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. I''ve seen the rmendation letter from the head of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, so his identity is absolutely safe!" Du Weilun said with a bitter smile. He had only known Ling Bai an hour longer than Zhang Lexuan, and apart from knowing that he came from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, he knew nothing else. Du Weilun secretly sighed, Feng Ya, after so many years, where did you find a Six-Winged Angel... "It seems the Inner Academy will have a true world-ss monster." Zhang Lexuan''s delicate hand stroked her beautiful chin, her eyes filled with an indescribable expression. The Evil-Banishing sh whistled through the air, leaving a series of golden afterimages. Chu Qingtian''s forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, and in a hurry, he only managed to cross his arms in front of his chest, releasing his third soul skill! Countless lightning bolts surged and enveloped him, transforming him into a massive Z- shaped lightning bolt. The eleration effect from Rapid Lightning was still in effect, but as the Evil-Banishing shnded, the explosive sword energy shattered the Z-shaped lightning bolt into countless fragments! "Oh?" Ling Bai let out a light exmation. The scattered lightning fragments did not dissipate but instead gathered together,yer uponyer, forming a human figure made of lightning. Chu Qingtian, this character who briefly appeared in the Absolute Tang Gate, wasn''t as simple as he seemed. Ling Bai had thought Chu Qingtian wouldn''t evenst a single strike. If Ling Bai was just a bit surprised, Chu Qingtian was purely relieved to have survived. Thanks to his third soul skill, he narrowly avoided being defeated in one strike! The third soul skill of the Electric Mad Leopard: Lightning Transformation! Transform into lightning elements, immune to physical damage and most energy damage! A life-saving skill! Especially for speed-attack type soul masters, who are naturally weak in defense, this skill is crucial for survival in battles or wars. Survival is key to output, whether in reality or in games! "I absolutely cannot tarnish the reputation of Shrek Academy!" Chu Qingtian knew that even with a slight advantage in soul power, he would still not be a match for Ling Bai. The gap between their soul beasts and soul skills was like a chasm! Standing on the examination ground today, representing the Inner Academy of Shrek Academy, it was not uneptable to lose. He could lose, but he could not lose without dignity! Second soul skill: Lightning Shadow! The scattered lightning fragments suddenly moved. Unlike the rare and powerful Lightning Transformation, the Lightning Shadow is a practical soul skill. Its essence is to create a phantom using lightning elements. The phantom possesses twenty percent of Chu Qingtian''s abilities and can swap positions with his real body. At his four-ring level, Chu Qingtian could create up to four Lightning Shadows! Including his real body, it was a five-on-one situation!

You can also join the Geriatric Trantions Community on Discord to connect with other readers: https://discord.gg/NSWvfN7vua Five radiant figures of lightning formed a circle, constantly shifting positions to confine Ling Bai in the center. Arrows of Soul Power-shaped lightning bolts condensed and shot at Ling Bai from all directions! Staring at the chaotic lightning shadows and arrows, Ling Bai''s pupils emitted a golden glow that rivaled the lightning! Seven Strikes with One Sword! Seven swords formed different stances, each unique yet arranged with perfect precision in the Seven-Pointed Star Formation! Advanced First Soul Skill! Radiant Spirit Formation: Control! The Seven-Pointed Star Formation unfolded, spreading out in the form of the Big Dipper Formation Diagram, perfectly intercepting every arrow Chu Qingtian shot! The Big Dipper Formation Diagram enveloped andpressed the lightning, forcing it into a thicker, more brilliant Golden Arrow, aiming at one of the constantly shifting lightning shadows! "How did he know!? Chu Qingtian''s face was filled with shock; the Golden Arrow had locked onto his true form! With a one in five chance, how did Ling Bai find him! Luck? Or ability? "Go!" Ling Bai shouted coldly, and the Golden Arrow shot back at a speed even faster than when it came, bursting into a dazzling light in the dark sky! "Boom-" The Golden Arrow drew a beautiful arc and, without any surprise, Chu Qingtian was directly shot to pieces! Of course, at thest moment, he swapped positions with one of the lightning shadows, which took the hit in his ce. "You have three more chances." Ling Bai smiled at Chu Qingtian, extending three fingers. This scene appeared to Chu Qingtian like a demon''s countdown, as if he would be chopped up and made into dumplings when time ran out! Cold sweat trickled down, gathering at his chin, and finally dripped onto the ground. Chu Qingtian and the three lightning shadows stood frozen in ce, as if in a surreal tableau. Attack? He couldn''t! Defend? He couldn''t! Escape? He couldn''t! Monster! Chu Qingtian''s mind was filled with the word "monster." In the past, these words were used to describe him. Every Shrek Academy student was once a monster in someone else''s story, but in this gathering of monsters, only the monsters among monsters had the right to be called monsters! "Second Soul Skill, Evil-Banishing sh." No matter what Chu Qingtian thought, Ling Bai''s attack wouldn''t stop. A beam of golden sword energy shed down, its target clear: Chu Qingtian''s true form! "Again!" This time, Chu Qingtian was certain that Ling Bai wasn''t just guessing; he truly had the ability to see through the lightning shadows! Another position swap! "Boom!" Four lightning shadows remained, two of which, along with Chu Qingtian''s true form, appeared to others like chickens in a ughterhouse, waiting for the butcher''s bloody de to fall! "Boom-" The same sword energy, the same explosion! Chu Qingtian had only one lightning shadow left! Du Weilun, who had been watching the battle for a long time, suddenly turned to Zhang Lexuan and said, "Lexuan, don''t you think Ling Bai''s perception ability is particrly strong?" "Yeah, it''s a bit too strong." Zhang Lexuan agreed with Du Weilun. Chu Qingtian was known as the fastest in the outer academy, and at the Soul Master level, his speed was among the top. No matter which direction or position he changed to, Ling Bai always seemed to predict it in advance. Prediction wasn''t quite urate; Ling Bai had actually locked onto Chu Qingtian, making the lightning shadows seem like mere clowns. Zhang Lexuan continued, "If his mental realm were deep enough, he wouldn''t be fooled by the lightning shadows. The Six-Winged Angel is strong, but its strength lies in its divine attributes, not mental power. Ling Bai''s mental cultivation shouldn''t be enough to break through the lightning shadows... Could it be some secret technique from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower?" "Probably." Du Weilun thought about it, and Zhang Lexuan''s guess seemed the most usible. An ancient sect with a ten-thousand-year legacy having any fancy secret techniques wasn''t surprising. Ling Bai, being in the midst of the battle, didn''t hear their conversation. In fact, both Zhang Lexuan and Du Weilun were wrong. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had never had such a secret technique. This was one of his innate talents, derived from his second martial soul, the Death Prison Spider Emperor! The Six-Winged Angel, as a divine-level martial soul, was formidable, but the Death Prison Spider Emperor, which could stand its ground and even slightly dominate, was no less impressive. Apart from the Rakshasa Divine Power flowing through his veins, the Death Prison Spider Emperor, a fusion of the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, two top-tier soul beasts, had reached the pinnacle of the death attribute! Ultimate Death! One of the three ultimate talents of the Death Prison Spider Emperor: Spider King Sense! Spider webs vibrate when touched by external forces, and as a spider-type soul beast, the Death Prison Spider Emperor could sense danger before it arrived. As the soul possessor, Ling Bai transformed into a human radar, able to perceive the exact location of any entity within a certain range that harbored malice or hostility towards him! The zing Bone Dragon Gryphon that had attempted to ambush him in the Star Dou Great Forest, and now Chu Qingtian using lightning shadows to interfere, were both exposed by the Spider King Sense. Spider King Sense was Ling Bai''s passive talent. Even without activating the Death Prison Spider Emperor soul, he could detect a circr area with a 100-meter radius centered on his body. Any creature attempting to catch him off guard would only face despair in the presence of the Spider King Sense. "One real, one fake, let''s settle this at once." Ling Bai''s eyes reflected Chu Qingtian and thest struggling lightning shadow. He had a good grasp of Chu Qingtian''s level. He had some stuff, but not much. He posed almost no threat, so Ling Bai lost interest in continuing the fight! The second soul ring glowed brightly! Evil-Banishing sh! "What''s going on?" Chu Qingtian had already prepared for the final battle, but seeing the Evil-Banishing sh, he hesitated. The golden sword energy wasn''t aimed at his true form or the remaining lightning shadow; it was aimed at the empty ground between them! "An opportunity!" Chu Qingtian''s eyes suddenly lit up. The most prominent advantage of a speed-type soul master was speed and burst power, aiming for a one-hit kill! He didn''t know if Ling Bai''s move was idental or a mistake, but he knew this was his chance to turn the tide! The First Soul Skill, Swift Lightning, activated, and his feet sparked with electricity, his speed skyrocketing! At the same time, Chu Qingtian''s long-restrained fourth soul ring finally glowed! "Fourth Soul Skill, Thunderstorm!" Chu Qingtian roared, as if venting all the frustration and anger of the battle. Arge amount of golden lightning gathered around him, his originally handsome face distorting. His speed, strength, and physical resilience increased, making him seem like a wild, electrified leopard! "Go, Brother Chu! Take him down!" The inner academy freshmen who knew him well shouted, and Bei Bei and Tang Ya couldn''t help but clench each other''s hands. They could all see that this was the decisive moment! "A bit hasty." Watching Chu Qingtian''s all-out attack, the experienced Zhang Lexuan and Du Weilun shook their heads. Chu Qingtian had overlooked a simple fact: with Ling Bai''s demonstrated abilities, how could The make such a ridiculous mistake as a soul skill missing its target! Sure enough, just as Chu Qingtian charged with all his might, the golden sword energy suddenly split into two, one attacking the lightning shadow that was coordinating the attack, the other striking Chu Qingtian''s true form! Advanced Second Soul Skill, Evil-Dispelling Dual de sh! The lightning shadow instantly vanished! The Evil-Banishing sh easily prated the lightning around Chu Qingtian, sending his body flying and rolling on the ground. "I haven''t lost yet!" Chu Qingtian, eyes bloodshot, struggled to his feet. The Holy Sword Qi had left a bloody gash on his shoulder, soaking his clothes in blood. Ling Bai frowned slightly. He had held back; otherwise, with thebined attack power of the Six-Winged Angel and the Holy Angel Sword, Chu Qingtian''s entire arm would have been severed instantly. It was just an evaluation, and he didn''t want to cause serious injury, but he hadn''t expected Chu Qingtian to be so determined. "Radiant Spirit Formation: Storm." His indifferent words fell, and sacred power condensed into a golden tornado that roared towards the exhausted Chu Qingtian!N?v(el)B\\jnn "Aaaaah!" Chu Qingtian''s piercing scream echoed within the tornado! Then, Moonlight sshed from the sky, tearing through the Holy Tornado in the strongest way possible, gently cing Chu Qingtian on the ground. Chu Qingtian''s tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and he felt all over his body. Arm? It''s there! Legs? They''re there! Everything? It''s all there! Completely unharmed!? Chu Qingtian realized that he had only been cut by the clothing, and his previous screams were purely psychological. Ling Bai walked forward, extending a hand to the fallen Chu Qingtian and smiled, "Thanks for the match, Brother Chu."

We''ll be ssmates from now on, so just call me by my name." Chu Qingtian grabbed Ling Bai''s hand for support as he got up, a slightly bitter smile on his lips. He didn''t want to make any excuses, like saying the Six-Winged Angel had overwhelmed the Electric Mad Leopard, or that he hadn''t had enough to eat for dinner today... With his superior Soul Power and status as a high-achieving student of Shrek Academy''s Outer Court, he hadn''t even managed to force Ling Bai to use his third or fourth soul skill. Throughout the battle, he hadn''tunched a single threatening attack, spending most of his time trying to figure out how to escape from the Holy Angel Sword''s de. On the other hand, Ling Bai had stood his ground without moving an inch, even giving up the Six-Winged Angel''s strongest aerial advantage to Chu Qingtian. A few soul skillster, he had easily beaten Chu Qingtian into a retreat. If their match had been a life-or-death battle rather than a friendly sparring, Chu Qingtian suspected he would be half-dead by now. "p, p, p!" As their battle concluded, apuse echoed through the Soul Duel Arena. Zhang Lexuan and Du Weilun led the others over. "Shrek Academy''s Inner Academy has gained another monster. Wee, Junior Brother." Zhang Lexuan was the first to congratte Ling Bai, her eyes twinkling with a warm smile. Du Weilun had just exined Ling Bai''s background to her. An eleven-year-old Inner Academy student, the youngest and thus the least experienced in Shrek Academy''s Inner Academy. Age-wise, he was at the bottom. So calling him Junior Brother was fitting. "Thank you, Senior Sister." Junior Brother it was, even though it sounded a bit off. Ling Bai figured he''d get used to it in a couple of days. "Qingtian did well too. The Electric Mad Leopard''s speed, lightning transformation, shadow, and spirit-all the abilities he should have used were used. You need to work harder in the Inner Academy." Zhang Lexuan didn''t forget to encourage Chu Qingtian. Losing to Ling Bai wasn''t something to be ashamed of; in years toe, Chu Qingtian might even be proud of it. Hearing this, Chu Qingtian instantly forgot about his shoulder injury, standing tall and dering resolutely, "I will train hard and promise not to disappoint you, Senior Sister!" Ling Bai blinked. He seemed to have underestimated Zhang Lexuan''s status among the Inner Academy students. Just a word of encouragement from her, and Chu Qingtian''s attitude had changed so drastically! Zhang Lexuan, who hadn''t expected Chu Qingtian to take it so seriously, paused for a second before gently saying, "Go treat your wound first. We''ll head to Sea God Indter." "Yes, Senior Sister!" Chu Qingtian took out bandages and medicine from his storage soul conductor, and the other new Inner Academy students helped him bandage his wound. On the other side, Ling Bai approached Du Weilun, his golden eyes curving into a smile as he teased, "How about it, Director Du? Didn''t disappoint you, did I?" "You little rascal!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Du Weilun patted Ling Bai''s shoulder a few times with hisrge hand, but his face broke into a satisfied smile. "It was worth pulling some strings to have Le Xuan give you an extra test. You''re prettier than a girl and fight even more beautifully! A soul beast is a natural talent, but what I''m most pleased with is your development of soul skills!" Du Weilun''s teacher instincts kicked in, and he couldn''t help but lecture. "If I''m not mistaken, your first soul skill is a holy energy-based light array." Du Weilun looked at Ling Bai, his tone full of certainty. "Yes, Director Du." Ling Bai nodded. "My first Soul Ringes from an eight-hundred-year-old Starlight Unicorn. The Radiant Spirit Array is derived from the Starlight Unicorn''s innate soul skill, the Starlight Spirit Array." Mentioning the Starlight Unicorn, Ling Bai''s eyes flickered a bit. It was the first soul beast he had personally killed, and from the moment its blood sttered onto his palm, the gears of fate began to turn. Du Weilun continued, "Did you notice, Bei Bei and Tang Ya, that with the same first soul skill, Ling Bai can release the Radiant Spirit Array, a special defensive spirit array, and the final Holy Storm. In the hands of most soul masters, a soul skill remains the same from the moment they obtain it. The Radiant Spirit Array is just a light array, and many soul masters acquire simr skills. But in Ling Bai''s hands, the Radiant Spirit Array undergoes various transformations. A soul beast is a gift from your parents and the heavens, and we cannot change it, but we can change our soul skills. There are no weak soul skills in this world, onlyzy and uncreative soul masters. Understanding and developing your soul skills is a challenge you must ovee to be a powerful soul master." "We understand, Director Du!" Bei Bei and Tang Ya were genuinely convinced, especially thetter. She had always believed that Blue Silver Grass was far inferior to other soul beasts, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn''t match her ssmates. Now, it seemed another path was opening up to her. "Ling Bai." "Yeah?" "Keep developing your soul skills, especially since your cultivation is still shallow and you have few soul skills. When you have more soul skills in the future, you won''t be able to manage them all." "Don''t worry. I may not have many strengths, but I have plenty of ideas." Ling Bai made a small joke. Du Weilun was truly going out of his way, apetent teacher indeed. "Senior Sister, I''m done." Chu Qingtian finished bandaging his wound and moved his shoulder. Thanks to the Soul Power protection from the Electric Mad Leopard''s fourth soul skill and Ling Bai''s restraint, the sword had only caused a superficial injury. With the physical constitution of a four-ringed Soul Master, he would recover fully in two days. "Mm-hm." Zhang Lexuan looked up at the sky, the moon bright and the stars twinkling. She recalled that this was thetest they had ever stayed for an Inner Academy assessment. "Junior Brother, it''s time to head to the ind!" she called out. "Sure, Senior Sister. Director Du, Bei Bei, Tang Ya, I''ll see youter." Ling Bai responded. As an Inner Academy student, calling Bei Bei and Tang Ya seniors wasn''t quite right, and calling himself a senior would be awkward. He decided to hint that they should call each other by their names in the future. "It''ste, you''d better go." Du Weilun waved his hand, but after a moment''s thought, he added, "For the sake of your sect leader,e to me if you encounter any difficulties in the future." "Ha!" Tang Ya burst outughing, causing Du Weilun''s gaze to sharpen like a de. He had been holding back, but Tang Ya''sughter broke his resolve. "Bye, Senior Ling. Remember to take care of your juniors!" Tang Ya ignored Du Weilun,ughing heartily without a care in the world. Bei Bei shook his head helplessly. When they first met, she had called Ling Bai a junior, and now that he had be an Inner Academy student, she instantly switched to calling him a senior. It seemed his girlfriend hadn''t picked up on his hint at all. Hey, the more he looked at her, the more he liked her clear and silly little face! After saying goodbye to Du Weilun, Bei Bei, and Tang Ya, Ling Bai and the other new Inner Academy students followed Zhang Lexuan away from the assessment area, heading towards Sea God Lake. At the same time, the shadows lurking around slowly faded away, like a receding tide, withdrawing from Shrek Academy...

The enrollment of new students had concluded, and the older students, afterpleting their daily courses, were all meditating in their dormitories, diligently cultivating their soul power. On their way, they did not encounter a single student, only the asional patrolling teacher. Fifteen minutester, the group arrived at the Sea God Lake. Theke''s surface was gently rippling, the shimmering waves slowly spreading. Unlike the gemstone-like blue of the daytime, the Sea God Lake at night, illuminated by the soul-conductingmps, exuded a sense of tranquility and mystery. Zhang Lexuan scanned the six new students and said with a smile, "We are all inner court students, so crossing the Sea God Lake should be no problem, right?" "Don''t underestimate us, Senior Sister!" The auxiliary soul master girl pouted her red lips, as if they could hold a bottle of oil, and the others echoed her,ining that Zhang Lexuan didn''t treat them like inner court students. "Alright, I''ll wait for you on the other side." Zhang Lexuan rose into the air without releasing her soul power or soul rings, disappearing like a gentle breeze. "Senior Sister must be at least a Soul Saint, right?" The nt soul master boy spected. "Perhaps she''s a Soul Douluo." The most beautiful girl with short emerald hair said softly. "Who cares about Senior Sister''s cultivation level, let''s go!" The auxiliary soul master girl took out a pink, wing-shaped soul-conducting device, strapped it on her back, and sped her hands in front of her chest, muttering, "Peach blossoms smile beyond the fence!" "Soul Conductor Propeller, Food Soul Master?" Only Food Soul Masters needed to chant soul incantations when using soul skills. Ling Bai showed interest, as abination of Soul Conductor and Food Soul Master was quite impressive.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "Second soul skill, Light Body Small Peach!" The Food Soul Master girl called out, and a red, ripe peach appeared. She ate it in a few bites and waved to the others, "I''ll go first, everyone!" A rumbling sound echoed as the Soul Conductor Propeller spewed out two pink light mes, carrying her like a meteor toward the opposite shore. "Soul-conducting devices are really convenient. I should get one someday." The nt soul master boy murmured to himself, watching the pink meteor. In the next second, a green blur shed past him, it was the emerald-haired beauty. She had already released her soul power, a green, diamond-shaped scale appearing on her forehead. Her alluring body seemed to be boneless, her legs merging into a long, emerald-green snake tail. "Emerald Phosphorus Snake..." Ling Bai recognized this soul power. Before leaving, she gave Ling Bai a meaningful nce. "Brothers, we can''t be left behind by the girls!" The nt soul master boy was not to be outdone. A thin, blue-purple vine grew from his palm, emitting a faint aura of life. The vine had two yellow and two purple soul rings. Ghost Vine! "First soul skill, Growth!" The first soul ring flickered, and the Ghost Vine in the boy''s hand rapidly extended. Some aquatic nts grew on the Sea God Lake, and the Ghost Vine wrapped around one, using it as leverage tounch him across theke like a meteor. "Brother Chu, you''re injured. Do you need help?" The most muscr boy in the group approached Chu Qingtian and asked. "No, no." Chu Qingtian waved him off, "It''s just a minor injury, nothing serious. Crossing theke is the first test given by Senior Sister. Your help would only backfire." "Alright." The boy trusted Chu Qingtian and turned to Ling Bai, extending his hand, "Tai Xing, soul power: Strong Gori." "Hello." Ling Bai shook his hand. Tai Xing''s palm was broad and warm, clearly belonging to a soul master with abundant vitality. Chu Qingtianughed and patted Tai Xing''s muscr chest, "Brother Ling, Tai Xing has been my roommate in the outer court for six years and is my best friend." "Tai surname, Strong Gori..." Ling Bai''s golden eyes narrowed, "One of the four single-attribute ns of the Tang Sect?" "It''s in the past." Tai Xing grinned, his voice deep and resonant, "When the Sun Moon Continent collided with the Tang Sect Continent, the Tang Sect''s Hidden Weapons were thoroughly outssed by soul-conducting devices. After that, the Tang Sect gradually declined. The ancestor of the Force n, along with the ancestors of the other three ns, proposed abandoning Hidden ons and transitioning to soul-conducting devices. However, the Tang Sect''s leader firmly believed that Hidden Weapons were the foundation of the Tang Sect and rejected their proposal. Disappointed, the four ancestors, after numerous failed attempts to persuade, ultimately decided to part ways with the Tang Sect." "Brother Ling, what about the events ten thousand years ago...?" Chu Qingtian asked tentatively, suddenly remembering that ten thousand years ago, the Six- Winged Angel, representing the Soul Temple, and the Strong Gori, representing the Tang Sect, were mortal enemies. He was concerned that this might make Ling Bai hostile toward Tai Xing. If Ling Bai, such a formidable individual, were to target Tai Xing, his life in the inner court would be miserable! "It''s all in the past." Ling Bai said lightly. Before he had absolute strength and influence, challenging the Soul Temple would be suicide. Moreover, strictly speaking, Ling Bai was just an outsider from another world. He didn''t even know why he had awakened with the Six-Winged Angel and Death Prison Spider Emperor soul powers. The true inheritor of the Six-Winged Angel lineage was Ye Guyi. "Yes, it''s all in the past." Tai Xing shrugged and sighed, "Tang Ya even approached me, hoping I would rejoin the Tang Sect, but I refused. Who would have thought that the four single-attribute ns and the Tang Sect would be estranged again after ten thousand years. The grudges and enmities from ten thousand years ago don''t need to be passed down to our generation. Besides, after seeing Brother Chu get beaten up, I definitely don''t want to be an enemy of the Six-Winged Angel..." "Are you trying to rub salt in my wound, you brat!" Chu Qingtian pretended to be furious. Tai Xing had a rough but thoughtful demeanor. Seizing the opportunity, Ling Bai asked, "By the way, who is that Emerald Phosphorus Snake girl?" "You mean Dugu Lin!" Tai Xing leaned back slightly, his dark face contorting as if Dugu Lin were a taboo. "As you can see, her soul power is the Emerald Phosphorus Snake. She is a descendant of the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo from ten thousand years ago, skilled in using poisons and unpredictable. Don''t underestimate her; in the entire Shrek Academy Outer Court, she ranks first inbat strength. Both Brother Chu and I have been defeated by her Emerald Phosphorus Snake''s poison." "Brothers, we can''t keep chatting. If we fall too far behind, we''ll lose face when we enter the inner court. Let''s go!" Chu Qingtian interrupted them, his feet surrounded by electric light. In terms of pure speed, he feared no one, disappearing in the blink of an eye. "Brother Ling, I''m off!" Tai Xing, with his Strong Gori soul power, had the most violent way of moving. He leaped, clenched his fists, and pounded theke surface, using the force to propel himself forward! Chu Qingtian, startingter, quickly caught up and soon surpassed the Food Soul Master girl, seeing the slender back of the Emerald Phosphorus Snake, Dugu Lin, in the distance. He looked back; the water spouted where Tai Xing was, and the nt soul master boy was shooting out vines from his fingertips. Where was Ling Bai? "Looking for me?" A teasing voice suddenly sounded above him. Chu Qingtian instinctively looked up and saw Ling Bai with his angelic wings spread, standing tall and smiling, his golden hair blown back by the howling wind, the moonlight making him look like a jade statue. "Angels are so cool..." Chu Qingtian, for the first time, thought walking on water wasme!

The night wind blew her jet-ck hair backward, and her wless face, illuminated by the moon, exuded a cold and ethereal beauty. "Whoosh-" A beam of golden light pierced the air andnded steadily beside her. She turned her head, and her eyes revealed a look of unsurprised certainty. Her red lips parted, "The Six-Winged Angel is said to be invincible in aerialbat, known as the first soul skill of the sky. Setting aside other factors, its speed is indeed very fast." The angelic wings dissolved into points of golden light, and Ling Bai smiled, "Just a legend, Senior Sister, don''t take it too seriously." "You''re just pulling my leg." Ling Bai smiled without a word, seemingly acknowledging Zhang Lexuan''s words. He had set out thetest but had surpassed the food soul master girl''s level-four soul conductor propulsion device and the Emerald Phosphorus Snake, Dugu Lin, arriving first at Sea God Ind. The speed of the Six-Winged Angel was indeed remarkable. "Those people following you were from the Nine Treasures Crystal Sect, right?" Zhang Lexuan asked, her tone filled with certainty. "Yeah." This was not a secret worth hiding. Ling Bai said straightforwardly, "Mypanion who reported with me is the sect''s future sessor. The sect leader was worried and sent dark guards to escort us." Ling Bai had long discovered the dark guards of the Nine Treasures Crystal Sect. When the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon ambushed Ning Tian, he had thought the dark guards would intervene, but they managed to remain calm, forcing him to throw the Holy Angel Sword from a great distance to repel the zing Bone Dragon Gryphon. "No more of that, the academy forbids outsiders from entering and leaving at will." "They won''t appear again." After a while, the other Inner Academy freshmen crossed Sea God Lake and gathered beside the two. They looked at Ling Bai with eyes that saw him as a monster. Chu Qingtianined to Ling Bai, "Brother Ling, you''re not only strong, but your speed is also incredible." The Electric Mad Leopard, known for its speed, had been thoroughly defeated by the Six- Winged Angel today. "Brother Ling, you''re amazing! You can fight and run fast. I''m impressed!" Tai Xing, straightforward by nature, called Ling Bai "Brother Ling" with genuine admiration. The others smiled bitterly, feeling a tremendous pressure from being in the same year as Ling Bai. Seeing everyone''s expressions, Zhang Lexuan said, "Now that you''ve seen the gap, aim to catch up with Ling Bai. After entering the academy, work twice as hard. I should have shown you around the Inner Academy to help you integrate, but..." She looked up at the sky, regretfully saying, "It''s toote today, so let''s do it tomorrow. Tomorrow, I''ll find some senior students to be your personal guides. Tonight, after the dormitory assignments, everyone should rest early, okay?" "Senior Sister, you decide!" "We''ll follow Senior Sister''s lead!" Ling Bai watched the others respond and said nothing. Hunting spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest was undoubtedly a severe test of physical and mental strength. After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, they headed straight for Shrek Academy without any rest, and after entering, Ling Bai had a fight with Chu Qingtian. To be honest, Ling Bai was a bit tired. He desperately wanted to sink into a soft bed and sleep soundly until morning. Everyone agreed, and Zhang Lexuan continued, "The Inner Academy is different from the Outer Academy. With fewer than a hundred students, the Inner Academy doesn''t have dormitory buildings. Instead, there are separate houses on Sea God Ind. There are many houses, so you can make any requests, and I''ll try my best to amodate you." "Senior Sister, I want the one closest to the cafeteria!" The food soul master girl raised her hands, and everyone was speechless. Goodness, she''s a foodie! "Sure." Zhang Lexuan agreed. The food soul master girl hugged Zhang Lexuan''s arm, "Hehe, I knew Senior Sister is the best!" Zhang Lexuan rubbed her head, smiling, "But Pan Tao, don''t eat too much, or you''ll be a fat peach." "Oh, no way, I''m a slim peach!!" "Senior Sister, I want a house close to Sea God Lake." Dugu Lin spoke up second. The rippling water of Sea God Lake refreshed her, and she fell in love with it instantly. "I want a room surrounded by lush vegetation." The Ghost Vine boy considered his soul skill''s cultivation and made his request. "Senior Sister, I..." Chu Qingtian and Tai Xing exchanged nces and said simultaneously, "Let''s live together." "Hmm?" Everyone was shocked, stepping back and looking at the two with a hint of oddness. Only the food soul master girl, Pan Tao, her eyes glowing, as if she had encountered a rare spirit beast. "Young people..." Zhang Lexuan sighed, feeling old and out of touch with the times. "No, no!" Chu Qingtian and Tai Xing panicked, waving their hands, "We were roommates in the Outer Academy, so it''s normal for us to live together in the Inner Academy!" "Yes, yes!" "Normal, normal!" "Very normal!" "Whoever says it''s not normal, I''ll st them with a Soul Conductor Cannon!" Everyoneughed, tacitly flipping the page, leaving Chu Qingtian and Tai Xing muttering,n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "It''s normal, what are youughing at..." "Ling Bai, what about you?" Zhang Lexuan asked. "I..." "Live next to me!" Ling Bai was about to speak when a seductive voice interrupted him. Dugu Lin! "My name is Dugu Lin, soul skill: Emerald Phosphorus Snake, seventeen years old, level forty-nine control soul master. Ling Bai, I believe we will have a lot inmon in the future. You won''t refuse me, will you?" Her emerald eyes sparkled with mischief and allure, her small red lips slightly parted, inviting a closer look. She was a woman who exuded charm from her very core, captivating men at every moment. And this Dugu Lin, who resembled a beautiful snake, was sending a pink, flirtatious invitation to Ling Bai. Tai Xing poked Chu Qingtian''s waist, "Damn, Brother Chu, is Dugu Lin confessing?" "Be gentle!" Chu Qingtian red at Tai Xing, a pure strength soul master like the Strong Gori should know his own strength! "Do you even need to ask?" Chu Qingtian lowered his voice, "Dugu Lin is the second most beautiful girl in the Outer Academy after Jiang Nan Nan. She usually looks down on men, but today she fell in love with Brother Ling at first sight. Soul masters value strength in choosing partners, and Brother Ling, despite his young age, is incredibly powerful and has a face that appeals to both men and women. It makes sense that Dugu Lin fell for him, but..." He paused, looking at the dumbfounded Ghost Vine boy and silently mourning for him. This boy, named Zhou Sen, had been infatuated with Dugu Lin for six years, only to end up with nothing! Faced with Dugu Lin''s sudden confession and the others'' gossip, Ling Bai remained calm, proceeding with his well-thought-out answer: "Senior Sister, please find me a quiet ce to stay." "Huh-" Upon hearing this, Chu Qingtian and Tai Xing froze, and Dugu Lin''s face darkened. Dugu Lin, the second most beautiful girl among hundreds of female students in the Outer Academy, with her stunning looks and exceptional talent, had been pursued by male students from Sea God Lake to the East Gate, yet Ling Bai had tly refused her! "Brother Ling is a tough guy!" Tai Xing quietly gave a thumbs up. If Dugu Lin had confessed to him, he might have turned into her personal puppy on the spot. In stark contrast to Dugu Lin''s gloomy face, the Ghost Vine boy, Zhou Sen, was almost jumping with excitement! Ling Bai''s rejection was great; he could continue to chase after her! Dugu Lin pushed aside her green hair, gritting her teeth, "Man, you''ve piqued my interest!" Stop your CEO literature! They say eyes are the windows to the soul, but Ling Bai saw no hint of affection in Dugu Lin''s emerald eyes. Instead, he faintly detected that peculiar, sweet, and fishy scent. Emerald Phosphorus Snake... Poison Douluo... Ling Bai fell into deep thought, gradually forming a hypothesis. "Let''s go, I''ll show you to your rooms." Zhang Lexuan broke the awkward atmosphere and led everyone away from thekeside. Ling Bai and the others followed Zhang Lexuan. After the confession, their positions were carefully arranged. Dugu Lin walked on the far left, next to the female student Pan Tao, followed by Zhou Sen, who tried tofort the goddess. The gossip duo, Tai Xing and Chu Qingtian, and Ling Bai, who admired the scenery of Sea God Ind, were on the far right. "Brother Ling, you''re amazing!" Chu Qingtian, following Tai Xing, called Ling Bai "Brother Ling." No wonder he couldn''t beat Ling Bai; look at his iron will! "Don''t get too close." Ling Bai pushed Chu Qingtian away. If his guess was correct, Dugu Lin''s "love at first sight" wasn''t about him personally but about the Six-Winged Angel''s innate abilities. The journey was silent. Zhang Lexuan, skilled in human rtions, found a room for Dugu Lin first, eliminating the awkward source in the group. Before entering her room, Dugu Lin threw a seductive nce at Ling Bai, silently saying, "Man, you can''t escape!" Ling Bai pretended not to see, CEO literature, go to hell! Next, it was Pan Tao, Zhou Sen, Chu Qingtian, and Tai Xing. Finally, only Ling Bai and Zhang Lexuan were left. Ling Bai had requested a quiet ce, so it was definitely the most secluded spot on Sea God Ind. Zhang Lexuan naturally left him forst. "Dugu Lin is very talented. Why not try to get to know her and have a sweet rtionship?" Zhang Lexuan teased. "I''m only eleven, Senior Sister." Ling Bai covered his face. In his past life, he hadn''t even finished primary school at eleven; he had no interest in dating. "Proves that being too handsome and too strong isn''t always a good thing..." Ling Bai reflected deeply. "Ahem!" Zhang Lexuan couldn''t help butugh, her beautiful eyes curving into a crescent moon. Ling Bai nced at her; under the moonlight, her skin was like jade, and her profile was wless. "Senior Sister, are you in a rtionship?" "Me?" Zhang Lexuan pointed at herself and shook her head, "No." Then she thought of something and added, "But I do have someone I like." Mentioning the person she liked, Zhang Lexuan''s fair face blushed slightly. "Oh?" Ling Bai feigned surprise, "The boy who''s liked by Senior Sister must have saved the continent in his past life." "Young and smooth talker." Zhang Lexuan lightly scolded, "Here''s your room." Ling Bai looked closely; the house was simr to the others he had seen, a simple cottage. However, itbined the advantages of Dugu Lin''s and Zhou Sen''s houses, being close to Sea God Lake and surrounded by lush vegetation, with a rich, life-giving atmosphere. Ling Bai was very satisfied with it until... He noticed another house opposite it, with a light on. The light indicated someone was there. Ling Bai narrowed his eyes, hinting, "Senior Sister?" The distance between the two houses was less than twenty meters. This is what you call secluded? Zhang Lexuan understood Ling Bai''s doubt and exined, "Within three kilometers, there are only these two houses. It should meet your requirements, right?" "Three kilometers..." Ling Bai thought for a moment and agreed, "I''ll take it, thank you, Senior Sister." Zhang Lexuan took out a key from her storage soul conductor device and handed it to Ling Bai, "No problem. A senior student will show you around the Inner Academy early tomorrow. Your school uniform and emblem will be provided. Rest well tonight." "Sure, see you, Senior Sister." "Goodbye." Watching Zhang Lexuan leave, Ling Bai closed the door, turned on the soul conductormp, and inspected the room''syout. It was simr to a single apartment in his past life, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom. After washing up, Ling Bai rushed to the bedroom, climbed into bed, and pulled the covers over him. Soul masters can use meditation to rece sleep, but when tired, sleep is more effective in relieving fatigue. So, Ling Bai chose to have a good night''s sleep. Good night, Makabaka, good night, Wuxidi Xi, good night, Yigubigu, good night, Xiaodian Dian... "Heya!!!" "It hurts! Too much!" "Sis, please be merciful!" Just as Ling Bai was about to drift into dreand, a man''s screams jolted him awake. "What the hell are you yelling about in the middle of the night!?" Ling Bai sprang out of bed. He liked peace and quiet when alone, which was why he had requested a secluded room from Zhang Lexuan. Who would have thought that... The Continent''s top academy? Too degenerate! Humans have emotions, and soul masters are no exception. It''s normal to do such things, and outsiders have no right to criticize. On the first day at Shrek, Ling Bai didn''t want to cause trouble. Bear with it! Ling Bai sat on the bed, preparing to meditate, but the noise didn''t let up. "It hurts! Too much!" "Sis, let''s stop for today!" "What do you need to let me go?" "Please, I''ll do a forward roll for you?" "A backflip?" No more sleep! Despite never having seen the man, Ling Bai''s mind subconsciously painted a picture of an extremely lecherous face! "I think I get it." Ling Bai suddenly understood. The seclusion here wasn''t because of anything else; it was definitely because of that lecherous couple! Who can meditate with such noise in the middle of the night!? The question is, can''t you be a bit quieter? Ling Bai got out of bed, dressed, and decided to talk some sense into the person. If reason fails, he didn''t mind using physics. Arriving at the other''s door, the cries of pain almost turned into a wave of sound. While marveling at the guy''s lung capacity, Ling Bai took a deep breath and knocked on the door. "Creak-" The door opened with a creak. Hmm? You don''t lock your doors? Ling Bai was greatly shocked! "Hello, ssmate, can you-" He gently pushed the door open, and this scene met his eyes. A muscr young man, lying on the ground, tightly hugging a ck shield! A red-haired beauty, standing on the shield, with fair skin and a fiery figure! Ling Bai''s words died in his throat, his awkward and polite smile vanishing, and he stood frozen, finally muttering a single word. "6."

He shouted with all his might: "Big Brother, save..." The moment he spoke, Ling Bai instantly snapped back to reality: "Sorry for the interruption, please continue!" He interrupted the spell! Then! Closed the door! Ran away! Damn, it''s her! After opening the door, Ling Bai clearly saw the Red-Haired Woman''s crazed, blood-red eyes and the fiery phoenix shape forming behind her. Evil Fire Phoenix Ma Xiaotao! The ck shield on the ground was the top-tier martial soul Mystic Turtle Shield, and the identity of the youth who had been screaming and howling was now obvious! Mystic Turtle Shield, Xu San Shi! "Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck..." His neighbor was a live volcano, ready to erupt at any moment! Ma Xiaotao inherited the phoenix martial soul from her ancestor Ma Hongjun, but it was tainted with troublesome evil fire. Before Huo Yuhao fused with the Ice Empress, she had always relied on Xu San Shi, who possessed the dual-attribute martial soul Mystic Turtle Shield, to resolve her evil fire issues. Tonight was no different, and Ling Bai had just happened to walk in on them! Ling Bai''s feet moved swiftly, wishing he had two more legs. Based on the soul power fluctuations from Ma Xiaotao, she had definitely broken through to the Six-Ringed Soul Emperor, which was twenty levels higher than Ling Bai! Better to avoid trouble, running is the best option! "Boom-" Ling Bai suddenly turned his head, and a bowl-thick phoenix fire line grazed his ear and spiraled into the ground in front of him. After the sound dissipated, the mes ignited the surrounding nts, and the smoke rose to the sky. "Stop!" A voice filled with wild and explosive energy rang out like thunder. Ling Bai turned around with a cold expression, his golden eyes locking onto Ma Xiaotao, who had stepped out of the room. He gently touched his earlobe, which had been scorched by the heat. "You''ve got guts." In the web-like world constructed by the Spider Empress'' perception, if Chu Qingtian''s malice was a me, Ma Xiaotao''s was like a towering giant engulfed in raging fire! Ling Bai''s gaze swept across the room, and he caught a glimpse of a figure stealthily moving along the wall, inching towards the door. Xu San Shi! "Heh... heh... Big Brother!" Feeling that he had been discovered, Xu San Shi paused his sneaky steps and gave Ling Bai an awkward but polite smile. "Run quickly, I won''t be responsible if you get caught in the crossfire." Ling Bai said calmly. Xu San Shi was only a Three-Ringed Soul Sage, and his soul power was nearly depleted from helping Ma Xiaotao with her evil fire. Staying here would only be a burden, so it was better to let him run far away and settle ountster! "Got it! Big Brother, don''t worry about me, I''ll run super fast!" Hearing this, Xu San Shi immediately ran off, diving into the Sea God Lake and vanishing without a trace. "...Alright, a turtle won''t drown in water." Ling Bai turned his gaze back to Ma Xiaotao, who was enveloped in mes. She was far from being a half-baked inner courtyard freshman like Chu Qingtian. The top-tier martial soul Evil Fire Phoenix, with its near-ultimate fire attributes and the of Shrek Academy''s inner courtyard buffs, was undoubtedly a formidable Soul Emperor on the Douluo Continent! However, Ling Bai was never one to back down. A Soul Emperor, so what? Ling Bai took a deep breath and roared: "Angel Realm!" "Buzz-" The air shattered like ake, radiating countless shimmering golden lights! Holy Light Sweep! Sword Qi Rampage! A brilliant golden domain descended from nowhere! Six-Winged Angel Inborn Realm, Angel Realm! Effect: The Angel Realm is filled with divine power, enhancing all of Ling Bai''s attributes by 20%, reducing soul power consumption by 50%, weakening enemies'' attributes by 20% and continuously purifying their soul power with Angel Purification. All elements within the domain are purified into divine attributes and continuously erode the opponent''s soul power! The Six-Winged Angel, also known as the Six-Winged Seraphim, is the embodiment of holiness, light, and fire. Through the Angel Realm, Ling Bai can absorb sr energy to replenish his soul power and elerate his healing!N?v(el)B\\jnn The Holy Angel Sword, enhanced by divine power, evolves into Holy Sword Qi, with greatly increased attack and pration power. Holy Sword Qi equally suppresses all non-ultimate attributes and doubles in power against dark and evil attributes! With the Angel Realm activated, divine power was boundless, and Ling Bai felt a sense of control over the world! Although Ma Xiaotao was controlled by the evil fire, her long-cultivatedbat instincts remained. She¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á, immediately formed ayer of me shield, with her yellow, purple, and ck soul rings flickering in sequence. The first soul ring lit up, and a straight line of crimson phoenix fire shot out! First soul skill, Phoenix Fire Line! "Evil-Banishing sh!" The Holy Angel Sword, enhanced by divine sword qi, shed out. Even with the fourth soul skill, Evil God sh was still the strongest single-target attack skill of the Six-Winged Seraphim! "Boom-" Ma Xiaotao''s phoenix me shield smoked, the split me torrent slid past Ling Bai''s body andnded on the innocent nts of the Sea God Ind, emitting white smoke and high residual heat, but it was instantly annihted by the divine power of the Angel Realm. "Crack, crack, crack... Bang!" The me shield groaned in pain and finally exploded in front of Ma Xiaotao''s shocked eyes! The Evil God sh, enhanced by the Angel Realm, was terrifying! "Radiant Spirit Array. Bind!" Facing Chu Qingtian, Ling Bai could afford to show mercy due to his overwhelming strength, but against Ma Xiaotao, whose soul power was twenty levels higher, he would not hold back! The beautiful seven-pointed star array bloomed like stars under her feet, divine power forming chains that locked Ma Xiaotao''s limbs! "Dean, I''m not seeing things, right? Little Tao is actually restrained by a Four-Ringed Soul x?" In the sky, two figures stood side by side. The figure on the left rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw. The figure called Dean looked at Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao on the Sea God Ind with interest and said, "His appearance is very unfamiliar. Is he a new student this year? Six-Winged Seraphim... Good, a legendary divine-level martial soul!" At the end, the Dean''s tone involuntarily rose. The figure on the left understood the Dean''s excitement. Each of the divine-level talents of the Six-Winged Seraphim far surpassed ordinary martial souls. Ultimate attributes are usually considered the pinnacle of martial souls, but for the Six- Winged Seraphim, this is merely a stepping stone to bing a divine-level martial soul, naturally awakening with ultimate holiness! The most monstrous aspect of the Six-Winged Seraphim is that its bloodline is protected by the Angel God, preventing a decrease in cultivation speed due to ultimate holiness, thus avoiding the only weakness of ultimate attributes: the slowdown in cultivation after level thirty! Realm-type skills are always rare and hard toe by. Soul Masters generally only have a chance to obtain a realm when they break through to the level, and an Inborn Realm is a revered status that all beings look up to! At Shrek Academy, including the Inner Courtyard''s senior sister Zhang Lexuan, no student possesses an Inborn Realm! Even powerful martial souls like the, Blue-Electric Tyrant Dragon, and Seven-Treasure Pagoda have not awakened an Inborn Realm, showing how powerful and rare an Inborn Realm is! As for the innate soul power of level twenty, it goes without saying that the Six-Winged Seraphim is unique among the millions of martial souls on the entire Douluo Continent! "Old Li, I must capture this young man!" The Dean''s tone was firm, speaking to Teacher Li and to himself. "Dean, is the Six-Winged Seraphim really that unreasonable in strength?" Teacher Li pointed below and asked, "That boy''s soul power is only level forty-one, and he can even match Little Tao?" Under the Radiant Spirit Array''s restraint, Ma Xiaotao''s chest heaved, and her neck turned a unnatural shade of red, like a bird trapped in a cage, pping its wings in vain! "Of course not." The Dean smiled mysteriously and said, "Little Tao is my personally trained disciple. Although the Six-Winged Seraphim is strong, it is not enough to defeat her with a twenty- level gap. Old Li, let the other students go back to their training. I want to see what other skills this boy has!" "Alright." Themotion caused by the Evil Fire Phoenix and the Six-Winged Seraphim was too great, with one setting fires and the other emitting light, almost turning the night into day. Arge number of Inner Courtyard students rushed over, and the Dean did not want them to interfere with the battle, so he sent Teacher Li to send them back to rest. Ling Bai looked at Ma Xiaotao with a calm gaze, just like the Dean, he did not believe that the Radiant Spirit Array alone could restrain the berserk Ma Xiaotao! "Creak, creak..." The divine chains trembled under the burning of the phoenix mes. Ma Xiaotao''s six soul rings glowed brightly under the mes, and her second and third soul rings lit up simultaneously! Second soul skill, Burning Phoenix! Third soul skill, Phoenix Wings of the Sky! Two buff skills! The burning phoenix mes erupted like a geyser, and Ma Xiaotao bathed in the mes, her crimson mes outlining magnificent phoenix wings, breaking free of the chains and soaring into the sky! With a p of his angel wings, Ling Bai ascended, holding the Holy Angel Sword and gazing at Ma Xiaotao. She was even more frenzied now, with a deep ck tinge in the crimson phoenix mes! Crimson mes suddenly burst from Ma Xiaotao''s legs, forming ripples that spread out, followed by a burst of phoenix fire pirs from her feet! "Soul Bone skill..." Ma Xiaotao''s legs had absorbed soul bones, and they were from the same type of soul beast, granting the same soul skill: eleration! With the thousand-year-old heritage of Shrek Academy and Ma Xiaotao''s status, the two soul bones must have reached the thousand-year level! The eleration provided by the two thousand-year-old soul bones was terrifying. In an instant, Ma Xiaotao''s speed far exceeded that of Chu Qingtian, known for his speed in the Outer Courtyard. The air crackled and whistled as she charged at Ling Bai like a cannonball! "Angel Realm, gather!" Ling Bai used what he had just learned; the divine power within the Angel Realm formed a shield in front of him. Facing Ma Xiaotao''s meteoric attack, Ling Bai did not retreat but advanced, releasing his third soul skill, Holy Heart, simultaneously. With the dual enhancement of the Angel Realm and Holy Heart, a pair of golden wings seemed to appear behind Ling Bai, a sign of his impending evolution into a Four-Winged Angel! "Boom-" Golden and crimson light and mes continuously fell into the Sea God Lake, a feast of divine power and phoenix mes! "My goodness!" Xu San Shi, hiding in the Sea God Lake and blowing bubbles, poked his head out and looked up at the evenly matched pair, eximing in amazement. Over the years, he had been "tortured" by Ma Xiaotao and knew her strength all too well. Ling Bai, with only a Four-Ringed cultivation, could match her without falling behind, leaving Xu San Shi to marvel at how strong his big brother was! Holy sword qi poured out like ink, and the phoenix mes, though approaching ultimate fire, were not ultimate fire. They were gradually overwhelmed by the Six-Winged Seraphim''s ultimate holiness, and the mes spouting from Ma Xiaotao''s feet grew thinner! The power of the divine-level Six-Winged Seraphim was unleashed to the fullest! At this moment, Ling Bai felt an exhrating sense of satisfaction! As the Burning Phoenix was about to dissipate, Ma Xiaotao''s fourth soul ring lit up instantly! Ling Bai quickly retreated. Having read the original, he knew that Ma Xiaotao''s first seven soul skills were identical to Ma Hongjun''s, whether as a legacy or because San Shao was toozy to create new ones! Fourth soul skill, Phoenix Ascend! This skill consists of a disorienting air shockwave followed by a phoenixva surge that is as powerful as a volcanic eruption. If you get hit by the first part, you will definitely get hit by the second part. Ling Bai retreated to avoid the air shockwave! However, things did not go as Ling Bai expected. The air shockwave of Phoenix Ascend did not ur; instead, Ma Xiaotao''s palms gathered scorching mes, the heat so intense that the surrounding air began to distort! Hmm!? Ling Bai''s face was one of shock, as if his mother had been shocked for a hundred years. You, a phoenix, are mocking a chicken... No, something''s not right! Where''s the wind-up!? Changing a charged skill to an instant release, you''re cheating! "Impression is everything..." Ling Bai understood. Who said Phoenix Ascend had to follow a sequence? Like his Evil God Dual de sh and Radiant Spirit Array Bind, Ma Xiaotao had created an advanced version of Phoenix Ascend! Avoiding the limitation of the second part being a follow-up skill, she directly released the second part! "Roar-" A loud phoenix cry pierced the clouds, carrying a metallic resonance! Phoenix Ascend, burst! "Boom!" The phoenix mes struck a divine tornado, which instantly turned golden and red! The seven-pointed star array, arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, enveloped the dual- colored tornado and hurled it into the Sea God Lake, causing water to ssh into the air and the dark sky to rain a brilliant blue. Radiant Spirit Array Storm! XX! Radiant Spirit Array Control! Under the enhancement of the Angel Realm, the two seven-pointed star arrays together blocked Phoenix Ascend! "Hmph!" Ma Xiaotao coldly snorted, her eyes bloodshot from the evil fire. The erosion of soul power by the Angel Realm also continuously oppressed her already fragile mind, gradually losing her ability to think and focusing only on attacking! Fifth soul ring ignited! A scorching heat wave radiated outward from Ma Xiaotao''s body, and the phoenix mes around her rapidly ascended. She suddenly vanished, as if merging with the mes. The cool night air over the Sea God Lake became scorching, and an aggressive heat wave rose, permeating the air with a hint of gunpowder andva. The next second, an indescribable majesty appeared, and a domineering crimson me soared into the sky, transforming into a magnificent fire phoenix soaring through the heavens. Under the glow of the burning crimson mes, the majesty of the king of birds was undeniable! "Scream-" After a loud phoenix cry, the phoenix, with its iparably brilliant tail mes, left behind crimson starlight in the air, charging at Ling Bai like a zing sun. Fifth soul skill, Phoenix Piercing Cloud! The turbulentke water slid down Ling Bai''s cheek and dripped onto his hand holding the Holy Angel Sword, only to be evaporated by the approaching heat. He looked down at the charging phoenix, his golden eyes shining even brighter than the phoenix mes illuminating the night! "Ten Thousand-" Ling Bai''s golden eyes like frost, he let out a long roar, and the sky was filled with the resonance of holy sword qi, as if tearing apart the heavens! The most majestic and pure divine power on the continent, enhanced by the Angel Realm, transformed from the abstract to the tangible, condensing into countless, innumerable sword des! Seeing the sudden appearance of ten thousand holy sword des in the air, the Dean and the other unseen elders of the Sea God Pavilion, who were watching the battle, were stunned. Especially when they felt the terrifying divine power contained within the ten thousand sword des, their faces turned pale with shock. As the ten thousand sword des revealed their full might, a faint sense of solemnity emanated from Ling Bai, and he lightly shouted: "Ten Thousand-Radiance!" Six-Winged Seraphim''s fourth soul skill, Ten Thousand de Radiance! (End of Chapter) Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Yan Shaozhe (Part 1) Chapter 23: Yan Shaozhe (Part 1) ?

"Go!" At themand, the ten thousand holy sword des that enveloped the sky instantly moved, all at once, piercing the heavens! All the holy sword des, after rushing out for a distance, suddenly plummeted like arrows, carrying the momentum of a heavenly descent, sweeping across everything in their path! The sky was filled with a piercing, destructive force that overshadowed even the moon! Ma Xiaotao, transformed into a Fire Phoenix, let out a series of sharp phoenix cries, her mes surging even more intensely as she sensed the grandeur of Ten Thousand des Radiance, the outer mes turningpletely into pitch-ck Evil Fire! Ten Thousand des Radiance, descending with overwhelming force! The phoenix cried out, defying the heavens! "So... so terrifying soul skill..." Xu San Shi desperately dived towards the bottom of the Sea God Lake, finally understanding why Ling Bai had urged him to run. Each light sword in the ten thousand feet contained a sharpness that could easily pierce through the Mystic Turtle Shell Shield! Not only him, but even the headmaster, who was watching the battle, rubbed his eyes in disbelief! You little brat, don''t be too absurd! The headmaster never dreamed that his personal disciple would be suppressed to such an extent by a four-ringed Soul Master! Ling Bai''s golden hair was blown wildly by the wind, but his figure still stood gracefully in the air, the Holy Angel Sword dancing, holy sword qi recondensing, and a clear sword cry echoing through the clouds! "Squawk-" In an instant, Ten Thousand des Radiance brutally tore through Phoenix Cloud Piercing Strike! The phoenix''s cry was as mournful as the blood-curdling cry of a cuckoo, resounding in the sky, heart-wrenching! The Fire Phoenix dissipated, transforming back into Ma Xiaotao''s body as she fell uncontrobly into the Sea God Lake, sshing up a ssh of water. The cool water of the Sea God Lake slightly cleared Ma Xiaotao''s mind. The Evil Fire had been showing signs of ring up recently, and her intense cultivation had caused it to be even more uncontroble. So, she had sought Xu San Shi''s help to suppress the Evil Fire tonight, but Ling Bai had suddenly intruded. Then she got a good beating! Now, with the Evil Fire raging and her soul power exhausted, she didn''t even have the strength to swim back to the Sea God Ind! Biting her teeth to endure the Evil Fire, Ma Xiaotao saw a golden lightnd on the water''s surface. A pair of hands slipped under her armpits and around her shoulders, lifting her out of the cold water. Ma Xiaotao turned to look at the figure. He had golden hair, golden eyes, and a wless, delicate face. He seemed young but exceptionally handsome. However, in her current state of agony from the Evil Fire, she had no mood to appreciate his appearance. "You... who... are you? I don''t think I''ve seen you before." Her eyes were filled with confusion as she bit her lower lip and asked with difficulty. Ling Bai held Ma Xiaotao''s arm to prevent her from falling back into theke and said, "Ling Bai, your new neighbor. You were making noise tonight, and I initially wanted to reason with you, but you insisted on talking about physics." Ma Xiaotao''s mind was in chaos, and she couldn''t focus on what Ling Bai was saying. She urgently said, "No matter who you are, I can''t control the Evil Fire anymore! Put me down and leave quickly, I don''t want to hurt you!" "So hot... so painful!" Ma Xiaotao couldn''t hold on any longer, her eyes tightly closed, and she let out anguished screams. The Evil Fire was fiercely attacking her meridians, and even worse, she felt a tearing pain all over her body! The intense pain had little to do with the Evil Fire. The Ten Thousand des Radiance, enhanced by the Angel Realm, Sacred Heart, and Holy Angel Sword, was not easy to withstand! Unintentionally, Ling Bai had indirectly caused the most severe outbreak of Evil Fire since Ma Xiaotao''s soul awakening! Ling Bai noticed Ma Xiaotao''s abnormal condition. Her skin had be scorching hot, and she was tearing at her clothes! "Huh!" He tried to avoid looking, but Ma Xiaotao''s figure was too prominent, and he couldn''t help but catch a glimpse of her perfect, baster curves. "Don''t move!" Ling Bai immediately twisted her hands, their faces only a few centimeters apart. The woman''s wrists and indented skin showed an alluring light pink, and the awkward position made her feminine advantages even more prominent! "Mm... hmm?" Ma Xiaotao opened her eyes again. With the Evil Fire out of control, she instinctively wanted to resist but didn''t know how. The handsome young man before her seemed like a giant dragon, and she could only be a pool of spring water, letting him stir up ripples in her with his cold gaze. Ling Bai''s eyes met the woman''s alluring red lips, which were slightly open, exhaling a humid, rose-scented breath. He inwardly sighed that trouble had indeede. "Where are those Shrek Academy guys when you need them? With such amotion, not a single person is in sight..." He muttered a fewints, then, with a cold face, he looked at the fiery, beautiful woman and said seriously: "I''ll help you control the Evil Fire now. Just to be clear, this is my first time doing this, so if anything goes wrong... Don''t me me! Don''t me me! Don''t me me!" His tone was strong, but thest words, repeated three times, sounded somewhatcking in confidence. "Angel Realm, enter the body!" The golden light of the Angel Realm covered the sky, and Ling Baipressed the boundless holy power into a fine thread of golden holy sword qi, which he suddenly injected into Ma Xiaotao''s body! "Ah-" Ma Xiaotao''s delicate body suddenly tensed, and she let out a piercing scream, her body trembling from the pain. The holy sword qi traveled through every inch of Ma Xiaotao''s meridians. At the same time, the phoenix Evil Fire, sensing the intrusion, kept surging out to battle the sword qi, trying to annihte the foreign object in its territory! Simrly, to clear the Evil Fire, extreme ice was like taking medicine, using the coolness and smoothness of ice to neutralize the ferocity of the Evil Fire. However, Ling Bai''s current not- so-pleasant mood made the holy sword qi, which was the embodiment of extreme holiness... Evil Fire? Ferocious?? I''m beating you, and you dare to resist??? The phoenix Evil Fire was irritable, but Ling Bai and the holy sword qi were even more irritable! Under Ling Bai''s broad and sweeping control, the holy sword qi acted like a surgical knife, cutting out all the rampant Evil Fire in Ma Xiaotao''s body! People unconsciously move towards things that make themfortable. With the evil heat gone, Ma Xiaotao subconsciously hugged Ling Bai tightly. Feeling the pressure on his chest and the moist breath by his ear, Ling Bai rolled his eyes silently. He had to carefully control the holy sword qi, or else if the holy power went out of control... Wuhu, Ma Xiaotao no longer had to worry about the Evil Fire, time to bury it! Ma Xiaotao slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes, which had been a burning red, turned to a slightly seductive light pink. For twelve years, since her soul awakening, she had suffered from the torment of the Evil Fire. During her cultivation, she had been driven to the brink of copse countless times by the Evil Fire. Her teacher, unable to bear it, suggested she release the Evil Fire in another way. The problem was, the phoenix Evil Fire... Was lustful fire! Her ancestor, Ma Hongjun, was a man, and in a certain sense, releasing the phoenix Evil Fire was a legitimate reason for a casual encounter. For a girl, especially one with a proud and self-respecting personality, the phoenix Evil Fire was undoubtedly the cruelest punishment in the world. Feeling an unprecedented lightness in her body, Ma Xiaotao, looking at the young man who was carefully controlling the holy sword qi, managed to say: "Th... thank you..." Then she fainted dramatically. (End of Chapter) Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Yan Shaozhe (Part 2) Chapter 24: Yan Shaozhe (Part 2) ?

Behind him, the soul-guided lights of the outer courtyard formed a goldenwork across Shrek Academy. The vast night wind blew through the golden strands of hair, and Ling Bai, holding Ma Xiaotao in his arms, sighed helplessly. The battle just now had revealed all his trump cards. Apart from not activating the Burning Bone Dragon Eagle Bone Skill, he had used every trick in the book to barely subdue Ma Xiaotao, who was fighting purely on instinct and had reserved her sixth soul skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower. If she had regained her senses and they had fought a fair one-on-one, Ling Bai couldn''t guarantee a sure win against the Evil Fire Phoenix Soul Emperor. On his first day at Shrek Academy, he had been dragged into a major mess. He couldn''t even imagine how he would survive the days ahead. After a moment, Ling Bainded by the Sea God Lake and noticed that Ma Xiaotao''s hands had somehow wrapped around his neck, her half-cheek flushed, making her stunning face even more radiant. "Not fighting, she''s actually quite beautiful." Ling Bai whispered. Ma Xiaotao''s appearance was undoubtedly that of an angel with a devil''s figure. If her personality were a bit gentler, she would be perfect. One of the two live volcanoes in the Inner Academy, who would dare to touch her! Suddenly, Ling Bai sensed something and looked in a certain direction. A white light point was approaching at an astonishing speed,nding in front of him in the blink of an eye. A middle-aged man in white, with a handsome and refined appearance, his hair neatlybed, exuding afortable and bright aura. "Hey, you''re here?" Ling Bai stared with dead fish eyes, looking like a thoroughly salted fish. Even a y statue has a bit of fire. This guy was clearly a teacher at Shrek Academy, and his status was undoubtedly high. After the hugemotion Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao had caused, he didn''t believe for a second that the man had just arrived! "Yes, ssmate." The middle-aged man was also no slouch. Despite Ling Bai''s slightly sarcastic tone, his face didn''t change, as if he had two big words carved on his forehead: Thank you! "I am the Dean of the Soul Power Department, Yan Shaozhe. Ma Xiaotao is my personal disciple. Her Phoenix Evil Fire has always been a concern, and I didn''t expect it to erupt without warning tonight. Thanks to you, ssmate. Are you hurt at all?" "I am, very badly." "Nothing serious... huh?" Yan Shaozhe''s pupils dted slightly. The carefully prepared words in his mind fell into a bottomless pit. He stared at Ling Bai, whose aura had suddenly weakened, and his mind screamed. Extortion! Definitely extortion! He had clearly seen that Ling Bai had been fine after fighting Ma Xiaotao, lively and energetic one second, and critically injured the next. Who would believe it! Ling Bai coughed weakly, "Dean Yan, Senior Sister Xiaotao''s Phoenix me is too powerful. I was lucky to survive. Now, my body is full of raging evil fire. It''s fine, I can endure it. Although I am just a weak four-ringed Soul Master, and a new student at Shrek Academy... I deeply understand that helping ssmates is a selfless act. I am willing to pay the price for Senior Sister, even if the Phoenix Evil Fire leaves me with lingering injuries that affect my future, I will not take a single needle or thread from Shrek Academy... Rest assured, I won''t tell anyone..." !!! Ma Xiaotao, who had quietly regained consciousness, bit her lower lip hard, struggling to suppress herughter, causing her face to slightly contort. So bad! This kid is so bad! Ma Xiaotao knew that Ling Bai must have realized that Yan Shaozhe had been there all along, perhaps intentionally testing him without immediately intervening. So, he had yed along, openly and secretly trying to extort Yan Shaozhe! Yan Shaozhe''s face grew darker as he listened, and finally, he waved his hand, forcing a smile, "Look what you''re saying. Is Shrek Academy a ce that doesn''t distinguish between good and evil? For protecting a ssmate, the Academy must reward you. Here, take it!" With that, Yan Shaozhe tossed a white jade bottle to Ling Bai. Ling Bai opened the wooden stopper on the bottle, and a fragrant aroma wafted out. Through the bottle''s mouth, he could see three dragon-eyed pills lying quietly inside, crystal clear and translucent, with a faint green glow. "Soul Nourishing Pill, Dean, you are generous." Ling Bai expressed his gratitude to Yan Shaozhe. Yan Shaozhe raised an eyebrow, "You''ve had it before?" The Soul Nourishing Pill was an advanced version of the Soul Elevating Pill, refined from the essences of over thirty thousand-year-old nt-type soul beasts, with the remarkable effects of purifying the body and nurturing the spirit. In the Douluo Continent, only a very few nt-type soul masters could refine the Soul Nourishing Pill, and the annual yield was no more than three to five pills. Although Ling Bai recognized the Soul Nourishing Pill, Yan Shaozhe felt that Ling Bai''s expression wasn''t particrly surprised, more like a perfunctory response: Soul Nourishing Pill, okay, okay, thanks! Only disciples from top-tier families or major sects would have encountered the Soul Elevating Pill. Ling Bai''s behavior made Yan Shaozhe hesitate about the ns he had for him. "Dean, my name is Ling Bai, from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower." Having entered the Academy with a rmendation from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, Yan Shaozhe could easily verify this basic information from Du Weilun. Ling Bai decided to be straightforward. "Nine Treasures Crystal Tower?" Yan Shaozhe understood. No wonder Ling Bai seemed a bit perfunctory about the Soul Nourishing Pill. The Guardian Douluo of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was the strongest living nt-type Douluo in the continent today! Guardian, Jianmu! Jianmu Douluo was a contemporary of the Sea God Pavilion Master, Dragon God Douluo Muen. Yan Shaozhe, as the Dean of the Soul Power Department, would bow and respectfully call Jianmu Douluo "senior" when they met. The Soul Nourishing Pill was a top-tier pill that Jianmu Douluo had improved upon the Soul Elevating Pill in his youth. Given Ling Bai''s talent, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and Jianmu Douluo would likely treat the Soul Nourishing Pill like candy. "Is Senior Jianmu well these days?" Yan Shaozhe had once heard his teacher, Muen, mention that when the Main Body Sect''s two leaders wreaked havoc on the continent, it was Muen and Jianmu Douluo who went to stop them. After a fierce battle, Dragon God Douluo Muen severely wounded the Main Body Sect''s leader, Poison Must Die, whoter died from his injuries after hiding back in the Main Body Sect for years. Muen paid a heavy price, losing a vertebra and never being able to stand straight again. Jianmu Douluo fought alone against Poison Unkible for three days and three nights, both of them suffering serious injuries. Jianmu Douluo was left with a chronic illness and retired to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, disappearing from public view.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "Same as always." Ling Bai''s tone was indifferent, and the five simple words made it impossible to discern the truth of his words. "Standing up in the face of impending copse, Jianmu Douluo is a respected senior. It''s a pity I''ve never had the chance to meet him. His presence is a blessing for the continent and the Academy." Yan Shaozhe sighed. "I''ll take care of Xiaotao. You''re quite injured, go back and rest well. I''ll think of morepensation for you." Yan Shaozhe used Ling Bai''s excuse to take Ma Xiaotao from him and turned to leave.

After Ling Bai''s figure disappeared from sight, Yan Shaozhe spoke softly. Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao quickly nced in the direction Ling Bai had left, her cheeks flushing with a hint of embarrassment. "Xiao Tao, why didn''t you tell me you couldn''t suppress the Evil Fire inside you?" Seeing her stand up, Yan Shaozhe frowned, his tone growing stern and reproachful: "Do you know, if we hadn''t run into Ling Bai by chance, you would have caused a great disaster!" "I''m sorry, Master, I thought I could..." In front of her teacher, Yan Shaozhe, Ma Xiaotao reined in the fiery temper of the Evil Fire Phoenix, looking like a meek little bird as she lowered her head in acknowledgment of her mistake. Because of her hasty cultivation of Soul Power, the Evil Fire had gradually lost control. When Ling Bai stumbled upon her, Xu Sanshi''s Soul Power was nearly depleted, and Ma Xiaotao would have definitely gone berserk that night. Ling Bai''s bad luck led him to be in the wrong ce at the wrong time. Yan Shaozhe sighed deeply: "You are my direct disciple and the first... second genius in Shrek Academy in a hundred years. If the Evil Fire ruins you, I will regret it for the rest of my life!" "Second?" Ma Xiaotao keenly noticed Yan Shaozhe''s change in words. In terms of cultivation talent, she even surpassed her senior sister Zhang Lexuan and had always been the top genius in Shrek Academy''s Inner Court. When did she fall to second ce? "Is there a problem?" Yan Shaozhe nced at her and said, "The mighty Spirit Emperor was thoroughly suppressed by a Soul Master. Ling Bai''s final move, Ten Thousand des Radiance, even amazed me. A four-ringed Soul Master, with a yellow, purple, and ck super soul ringbination, a Six-Winged Angel, Innate Level 20, Innate Realm, and a disciple of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower..." "Master, stop listing... He does seem a bit more powerful than me." Ma Xiaotao bit her lower lip, realizing that Ling Bai''s talent, strength, and background were all astonishing. He looked like he was barely fifteen! Ma Xiaotao''s mind flickered, and she suddenly remembered something. She hurriedly said, "Master, the Evil Fire has been alleviated, thanks to Ling Bai''s ability!" Yan Shaozhe ced his hand on her shoulder, and a gentle, light-attribute Soul Power flowed through Ma Xiaotao''s entire body. After a long while, Yan Shaozhe confirmed: "In the past, we would suppress the Phoenix Evil Fire with strong water or ice attributes. This time, the Evil Fire seems to have been directly eliminated. Before it re-infests your body, you can freely cultivate and fight. I estimate this effect willst about a year." "Yay!" Ma Xiaotao clenched her fists. A whole year-since her soul awakened at the age of six, she had never had such a long, peaceful time to cultivate. The surprise made her feel like crying with joy! "Master, why can Ling Bai suppress the Phoenix Evil Fire?" Ma Xiaotao asked curiously. She vaguely remembered Ling Bai channeling a golden sword aura into her body. The sword aura rampaged through her limbs, organs, and meridians, cutting down the Evil Fire wherever it appeared, ruthlessly and powerfully. "You idiot, it''s because of the Six-Winged Angel!" Yan Shaozhe''s eyes gleamed with excitement and enthusiasm, his voice trembling slightly. "The divine-level soul, the Six-Winged Angel, is inherently endowed with supreme sanctity. What is your bit of Evil Firepared to supreme sanctity!" "Supreme sanctity!?!" The Six-Winged Angel was too ancient, and its disappearance over the millennia had made many soul masters forget its power. The Evil Fire Phoenix was already very close to the ultimate fire, but it still fell short. That small gap meant a world of difference, and Ma Xiaotao might never reach the ultimate realm in her lifetime. Sanctity was an extremely powerful attribute, far surpassing the basic elements of earth, water, wind, and fire. All soul creatures with a sanctity attribute were top-tier, such as the Six-Winged Angel, the Sacred Dragon, and the Sacred Unicorn. One day, when Ling Bai reaches the Sealed Douluo realm, Ma Xiaotao couldn''t imagine who would be worthy to oppose him. "It''s just too bad that the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower got to him first. Otherwise, I would have found a way to bind him to the academy and cultivate him as the next Sea God Pavilion Master! You could marry him and never have to worry about the Evil Fire getting out of control again!" Yan Shaozhe pped his thigh, his frustration evident. He wished Ling Bai''s background was as clean as a sheet! After the first generation of Shrek Seven Monsters ascended to the divine realm, Shrek Academy produced three ultimate soul creatures over the millennia. They all became Sea God Pavilion Masters, leading the academy through its most glorious eras. The ultimate fire Sea God Pavilion Master even led the three empires to defeat the Sun Moon Empire, unifying the two continents and naming them Douluo Continent, leaving a significant mark in history. The current Sea God Pavilion Master, Dragon God Douluo Muen, had his body gradually deteriorate after battling Poison Must Die. He had personally announced to the elders that he had less than ten years left to live. Tao Tuo Douluo Xuan''s soul had a w, and Yan Shaozhe, the head of the soul system, was still rtively weak. Neither of them was suitable to seed as the Sea God Pavilion Master. The sudden appearance of a Six-Winged Angel in the academy made Yan Shaozhe feel as if it was a gift from heaven to Shrek''s sessor! "My affairs don''t need your concern!" Ma Xiaotao, despite her fiery temper, was still a youngdy. Mentioning marriage made her face flush, and she turned away, proudly dering: "I won''t marry someone I don''t like just because of the Evil Fire! And Master, don''t you think it''s a bit strange for a Six-Winged Angel to be the Sea God Pavilion Master? Ten thousand years ago, the Soul Temple was destroyed by our ancestors..." "What''s so strange about it?" Yan Shaozhe said displeasedly, "The Soul Temple nearly destroyed the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower ten thousand years ago, but now they still embrace Ling Bai! Xiao Tao, remember this: there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests! What the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower can do, we Shrek can do too! Since Ling Bai has joined Shrek, it means he doesn''t have significant enmity towards the academy. So, anything is possible!" "But the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower... Jianmu Douluo..." Yan Shaozhe paced anxiously on the spot, and Ma Xiaotao opened her mouth but didn''t know what to say. It was rare to see Yan Shaozhe so agitated. Ma Xiaotao''s gaze followed Yan Shaozhe as he paced back and forth until her vision blurred. She sighed, "Master, take your time. I''m going back to rest." "Mm, okay." Yan Shaozhe responded absentmindedly, not sure if he had heard her clearly. Ma Xiaotao returned to her quarters and noticed that the opposite room was pitch ck. "Has he already gone to sleep?" ... Dawn split the night, and the first rays of the sun greeted the new day. By the Sea God Lake, a towering ancient tree saw a figure gracefullynd. That figure was, of course, Ling Bai. Last night, under the starry sky and the moon, he had not returned to his room after parting ways with Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao. Instead, he hadin on a branch, using the night breeze as his pillow and fallen asleep. He walked toward his own small house. ording to Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, a senior student would be his guide for the Inner Court today. From a distance, Ling Bai saw a figure. She leaned against the door, eyes closed, with a few tiny dewdrops hanging from her longshes. The morning light shone from behind her, casting her beautiful features and slender figure in a soft, dreamy glow, like a paintinge to life. Ling Bai walked up quietly and greeted her softly: "Hello, may I ask who you are?" The woman opened her eyes, her pupils as dark as a cold, deep spring, and her red lips curved into a gentle smile: "Hello, little junior brother. I''m Han Ruoru, your guide for the Inner Court today." "Hello, Senior Sister Han."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Han Ruoru''s eyes sparkled as she gazed at the exceptionally handsome young man, her long lashes fluttering slightly as she said: "Little junior brother, that''s not fair. You call Zhang Lexuan ''Senior Sister,'' but when you get to me, it''s just ''Senior Sister''?

Quite lively. "Senior Female Fellow Disciple." It''s just a title; girls, it''s best to go along with them. Ling Bai whispered to himself. "Mm-hmm." Han Ruoru nodded in satisfaction. She and Zhang Lexuan had once represented Shrek Academy in the Continent-Wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Duel Tournament and won the championship. The two became the best of friends and confidants during that time. Last night, Zhang Lexuan told her that a new eleven-year-old Junior Brother had joined the Inner Academy and asked her to help guide him for a day. Han Ruoru agreed without hesitation. "Junior Brother, why didn''t youe back to stay after sparring with Little Peach?" Han Ruoru asked with a smile. "Hmm?" Ling Bai raised an eyebrow. Something was off, extremely off! "Senior Female Fellow Disciple, you know about my fight with Ma Xiaotao?" His expression suddenly became odd, as if to say: You should have at least lent a hand! A Soul Master challenging a Spirit Emperor, and not just any Spirit Emperor, but one with Evil Fire out of control-what the heck? Han Ruoru''s voice was melodious, with a hint of a distant tune. "I, along with Yue Xuan and most of the other students at the Seventh Ring level, rushed over, but Teacher Li stopped us. He told us it was Dean Yan''s test for you, and that the Dean believed you had the ability to face Little Peach." Ling Bai turned his head mechanically, gazing at the towering golden tree at the center of Sea God Ind. He said softly, "Oh? Dean Yan..." Ling Bai gritted his teeth. Last night, the sword shes and phoenix cries made him wonder if the people in the Inner Academy were all blind and deaf. Great, so it was you, old Dean! Han Ruoru continued with a smile. "Yue Xuan told me that you are very powerful. I didn''t believe it at first. You''re only eleven, and the five years since your soul beast awakening is such a short time. Butst night, even from a distance, I could sense the overwhelming sharpness of your soul skills." She raised her slender thumb. "Keep it up, Junior Brother!" "Thank you, Senior Female Fellow Disciple. I won''t let you down." "Good." Han Ruoru''s bright eyes curved into a charming arc. Ling Bai lingered on her face for a few seconds, admiring her delicate features and clear, autumn-like eyes-such a description fit her perfectly. "Here, these are the essentials for Shrek Academy Inner Academy students." Han Ruoru took a few items from her earring-like storage soul conductor and handed them to Ling Bai. A yellow-green School Emblem with a cute and ugly little monster carved on it. Shrek Academy, among the many soul beasts, is a rather peculiar existence, corresponding to the school motto-only monsters are epted, no ordinary people. Two sets of red Shrek Academy uniforms. White, yellow, purple, ck, and red-Shrek Academy uses soul rings to represent grades. The first four colors belong to the Outer Academy, while red is exclusive to the Inner Academy. "Put on the uniform." Han Ruoru said. Ling Bai didn''t say anything, took the School Emblem and uniform, and turned to go inside. "Creak-" Two minutester, the door opened again, and a red figure walked out. Han Ruoru''s eyes instantly lit up, and she blurted out, "You look good in anything, no wonder you''re so handsome." "Senior Female Fellow Disciple, to describe a male, you should use ''handsome''..." Ling Bai sighed, covering his face. Why did everyone at Shrek Academy like to use the word ''pretty''? Having fair skin and gentle features wasn''t something he could control. "Alright, handsome." Han Ruoru readily corrected herself, but Ling Bai felt she was speaking to a child. Indeed, Han Ruoru was twenty-six years old, fifteen years older than Ling Bai. In the Douluo Continent, where people mature early, some girls have children by the age of fifteen. So, in Han Ruoru''s mind, Ling Bai was no different from a child. "Never mind..." Ling Bai waved his hand weakly and asked, "Senior Female Fellow Disciple, have you had breakfast yet?" "No." "Want to eat something together?" Han Ruoru agreed, "Sure, after we eat, I''ll show you around the campus." Han Ruoru led the way, and Ling Bai followed. Ling Bai''s residence was on the far west side of Sea God Ind, while the Canteen was on the far east side. They almost had to cross the entire Sea God Ind. Along the way, they passed many buildings, and Han Ruoru would introduce them to Ling Bai. "The Inner Academy Supervision Hall, where you can receive supervision tasks. The graduation requirements for Shrek Academy''s Inner Academy are threefold: one, break through the 60th level of soul power; two, pass the graduation exam; and three,plete thirty supervision tasks." "The Inner Academy Examination Hall, just like the Outer Academy, you need to pass exams each year to advance. If you fail for two consecutive years, you will be expelled from the Inner Academy. Oh, by the way, in three months, the Inner Academy will conduct a new student exam for the freshmen. You must pass it to be a true Inner Academy student." "How is it like the Outer Academy..." Ling Bai immediately thought of the Outer Academy''s 3v3 team battle new student exam and probed, "We six won''t be divided into two teams to fight, with the losers being eliminated and the winners staying to continue their training, right?" "Hahaha, of course not." Han Ruoru smiled. "The Inner Academy''s entrance exam is already very strict, and there are not many students. If we used a half-elimination method like you suggested, the Inner Academy would have no students left. The Inner Academy exam is individual, and there is some element of luck involved. It can be extremely difficult or surprisingly easy. I can''t say more about the details, but I''ll continue introducing the Inner Academy to you." "The Inner Academy Library, which houses a vast collection of books on soul beasts, soul beasts, and notable figures on the continent. Many are even unique editions. If you have time after training, I suggest you visit the library often." Mentioning the library, Han Ruoru''s eyes lit up involuntarily. Twenty minutes after the library, the two finally arrived at the Canteen. The long journey to get a meal made Ling Bai consider changing his room. Just as they entered the Canteen, Ling Bai caught the scent of various aromas wafting out, making his mouth water. The Inner Academy had fewer than a hundred students, and the Canteen had only one serving window, but the space was very spacious. There weren''t many Inner Academy students eating at the moment, making therge Canteen seem even more empty. Ling Bai and Han Ruoru went to get their meals. Ling Bai, being a gentleman, let Han Ruoru go first, but she insisted that as a Senior Female Fellow Disciple, she should let the junior brother go first. Since Ling Bai wasn''t the type to dawdle, he stood in front of her. "Uncle, I''ll have two buns and a bowl of porridge." Ling Bai didn''t like overly greasy food for breakfast. He had just seen an Inner Academy student eating roasted meat in the morning! Unbearable... truly unbearable... "Alright!" The Canteen uncle quickly took out tworge, round buns and a steaming bowl of white porridge. Ling Bai estimated that the uncle was at least a Third Ring Soul Master based on his speed. The uncle handed the tray to Ling Bai and turned to Han Ruoru, speaking gently, "Ruo Ruo, what would you like to eat?" Han Ruoru and Zhang Lexuan were at the elder level of Shrek Academy, and the Canteen uncle was very familiar with her. "Uncle Mo, I''ll have the same as Junior Brother."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "No problem!" "Um, Uncle Mo..." Ling Bai spoke to get their attention and pointed to the tray. "You didn''t charge me." "Charge?" Uncle Mo scratched his head, looking puzzled. "Charge for what? The Inner Academy Canteen is free!"

In his memory, Huo Yuhao was so poor when he first entered the academy that he couldn''t afford meals and had to sell grilled fish at the school gate to make a living. "Senior Sister, do the Inner Academy and Outer Academy have different fees?" "Yes," Han Ruoru replied with a smile, exining, "Tuition, meal fees, and the rental fees for the Simted Training Grounds-everything in the Outer Academyes with a cost. The Outer Academy was established at the request of the Three Great Empires and is not truly part of Shrek Academy. The Inner Academy is the true Shrek Academy. In the Inner Academy, all these fees are waived. Why? Once you understand the responsibilities of the Inner Academy, you''ll see that this is a form ofpensation." Uncle Mo nodded in agreement, sighing, "You kids have it tough. Here, take two more buns! Look at you, so thin!" Without waiting for a response, he added two morerge buns to Ling Bai''s te. "Thank you, Uncle Mo." Ling Bai thanked him with a mix of amusement and gratitude. He had a vague idea of the responsibilities Han Ruoru mentioned, likely rted to surveince missions. Shrek Academy is dedicated to maintaining the stability of the continent. They established the Shrek Surveince Corps, with Evil Soul Masters being their primary targets. Many Inner Academy students and teachers have sacrificed their lives for this cause. This is one of the reasons why the Inner Academy has so few students. Ling Bai and Han Ruoru found a quiet spot to sit and enjoy their breakfast. Both had buns and congee, but Ling Bai had been forced to take four buns, while Han Ruoru only took two. Ling Bai scooped up a spoonful of congee. The milky white, gtinous liquid had distinct, plump grains that melted in the mouth,plementing the congee oil perfectly. "Moonlight Rice?" Ling Bai recognized the familiar taste. Moonlight Rice is grown in the extreme north and harvested only once every three years. It is extremely rare, rich in nutrients, and has a fresh, sweet aroma. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower is known for itsvishness, and Ling Bai often ate Moonlight Rice there. He was surprised to find it at Shrek Academy as well. Hearing this, Han Ruoru, sitting opposite him, teased, "The academy can''t neglect its students, can it?" "That''s true." Ling Bai took a bite of a bun. The pure meat bun had a thin skin and arge, juicy filling. The rich meat aroma instantly filled his mouth. After a few gentle chews, the meat filling turned into a sweet liquid that slid into his stomach, warming his body from the inside out. "How about it, Junior Brother, not worse than the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, right?" Han Ruoru, her hand supporting her cheek, watched the young man across from her chew with a slightly surprised expression, her eyes twinkling like ripples in ake. Ling Bai nodded slightly. Even he didn''t expect the meat filling to be Earth Dragon Meat! A hundred-year-old Earth Dragon Meat! Soul Masters who eat Earth Dragon Meat can replenish their vital energy and strengthen their bodies. A hundred-year-old Earth Dragon Meat sells for fifty gold soul coins per pound in the outside world, and Shrek Academy uses it as bun filling. With Moonlight Rice from the extreme north and a hundred-year-old Earth Dragon Meat, even someone with a refined pte like Ling Bai, who was spoiled by the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, couldn''t find a single fault with the Shrek Academy cafeteria. While Ling Bai and Han Ruoru were enjoying their breakfast, an elderly figure entered the cafeteria. He wore a disheveled gray robe, covered in grease, and his unkempt hair looked like a bird''s nest. A dirty wine gourd hung from his waist. The old man stepped into the cafeteria and shouted, "Xiao Mo! The usual, a thousand chicken legs and a jug of wine!" The wine gourd and storage soul conductor drew perfect arcs in the air,nding precisely on the cafeteria window counter. Ling Bai instinctively nced over, curious about which Inner Academy hero this could be. A thousand chicken legs? A food bucket would be an understatement; this man was a food vat! Han Ruoru''s gentle voice chimed in, "This is Elder Xuan, one of the Sea God Pavilion elders, second only to the Pavilion Master in the academy. Elder Xuan is very approachable and never puts on airs. He gives a lecture once a week, and among the Sea God Pavilion elders, only Elder Xuan teaches in the Inner Academy. The others rarely show their faces." "Taotie Douluo..." Ling Bai sized up Elder Xuan, who looked no different from any old man on the street. The gluttony of the Taotie Divine Bull forced this ny-eighth-level to eat constantly, leading to a regrettable oversight in his life. "Junior Brother, let''s go once you''re done." "Sure." The two walked out of the cafeteria together, but Elder Xuan subtly nced in their direction as they left, his cloudy eyes revealing a rare rity. "That Six-Winged Angel kid fromst night..." Nothing on Sea God Ind escaped the notice of this Taotie Douluo. The battle between Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao was no exception. Like Yan Shaoshe, Elder Xuan was highly interested in Ling Bai. "Elder Xuan, here are your chicken legs and wine." Uncle Mo stepped out of the window and handed the wine gourd and the storage soul conductor filled with chicken legs back to Elder Xuan. "Mm." Elder Xuan took them and disappeared in a sh, leaving the cafeteria. On Sea God Ind, Han Ruoru continued showing Ling Bai around the Inner Academy. She pointed to a tall red building and said, "The Inner Academy teaching building. Every weekend, the soul conductor screen at the entrance disys the teachers and courses for the following week, but whether to attend is entirely up to the students, as long as they can pass the promotion exams." "So much freedom," Ling Bai remarked. The teaching style of the Inner Academy reminded him of his university in his previous life. Attending sses was optional as long as you didn''t fail. "The Simted Training Grounds. Training there can significantly enhance your progress. Your Nine Treasures Crystal Tower must have something simr, right?" "Yes, the head of our sect said it cost the sect a lot of money." "Haha, the academy spent a fortune building it. The Simted Training Grounds cover almost all attributes, and most soul powers can find suitable training areas. I remember a ce with a strong aura of light, built using the power of the Golden Tree at the center of Sea God Ind. I think it would be perfect for the Six-Winged Angel." "Oh? I''ll have to try it out sometime." After passing the Simted Training Grounds, they arrived at a white building. The building was oval-shaped, surrounded by fences on all sides, with a dark, deep entrance. "The Soul Duel Arena, one of thest important facilities in the Inner Academy." Han Ruoru exined to Ling Bai, "Shrek Academy forbids private duels but encourages fighting. The Soul Duel Arena is where students can fight openly. The Soul Duel Arena is divided into six ranks, represented by the colors white, yellow, purple, ck, red, and gold. The Inner Academy stiptes that students must participate in at least three soul duels per week. Each win earns one point, and when the points reach a certain level, they automatically advance to the next rank. Only students with a ck badge are eligible to take the graduation exam." "What color is your badge, Senior Sister?" "Red." Han Ruoru showed him her soul duel badge, a red badge with a sharp trident in the center. "Just red? Are there any students with a gold badge in the academy?" Ling Bai thought Han Ruoru, as an elder, would have already earned a gold badge. Han Ruoru replied, "The gold badge is unique and represents the strongest student in the Inner Academy." Upon hearing this, Ling Bai instantly understood and asked, "Senior Sister?" "Mm-hmm." "Why don''t you challenge her?" "I have, but I''ve never won." "Hmm..." Setting aside the oue, at least Senior Sister was honest. Han Ruoru was a bit embarrassed; losing to the same person for so many years wasn''t something to be proud of. She cleared her throat and suggested, "Want to go inside and take a look?" "Sure." Ling Bai''s lips curled slightly. He caught a small expression on Senior Sister''s face, finding it quite cute. The two entered the entrance, and after a moment of darkness, the space opened up. The Soul Duel Arena was about the same size as the Shrek Square, where ten ancestral statues were built in the Outer Academy. The center was a space for students to fight, surrounded by rows of seats for spectators. A rough count showed about three to five hundred seats, which was sufficient for the Inner Academy. "Brother Ling!" "Sister Ruoru!" As Ling Bai and Han Ruoru entered, two voices called out almost simultaneously. "Qingtian?" Ling Bai looked in the direction of the voices and saw Chu Qingtian, one of his few acquaintances in the Inner Academy, waving from a spectator seat. The woman who called out to Han Ruoru was sitting right next to Chu Qingtian. Han Ruoru, recognizing the woman and Chu Qingtian, smiled, "Ming, you''re a guide too?" "Senior Sister came looking for me personally; how could I refuse? Walking around Sea God Ind for a whole day was a real hassle!" Hearing the woman''sint, Ling Bai and Han Ruoru exchanged nces. The former''s eyes twinkled with amusement, while thetter''s were filled with concern. They walked over to Chu Qingtian and the woman. On the way, Han Ruoru whispered, "Her name is Wu Ming. She''s an old student like me and Yue Xuan. Ming is actually a good person, but she has a short temper and doesn''t always think before she speaks. If she says anything out of line, don''t take it to heart." One of the two active volcanoes in the Inner Academy! The Golden Crow Saintess, Wu Ming! Ling Bai gave a thumbs-up. He had already ignited one volcano, Ma Xiaotao, and had no intention of igniting another unless he wanted to be expelled from the Inner Academy. As they got closer, Ling Bai saw Wu Ming''s face. While she didn''t match the beauty of Ning Tian, Ma Xiaotao, Han Ruoru, Zhang Yue Xuan, and Tang Ya... Hmm, there were quite a few people she didn''t match? Wu Ming was still a beautiful woman! "Hello, Senior Sister Wu. I''m Ling Bai, a new student in the Inner Academy." "Hello, Junior Brother Ling." Wu Ming smiled, then saw the dazed Chu Qingtian beside her and immediately flew into a rage. Her smile vanished, and she scolded, "Chu Qingtian! What are you staring at? Greet Senior Sister Han properly!" "Oh, oh!" Chu Qingtian snapped to attention, his muscles tensing as he shouted, "Hello, Senior Sister Han!" Seeing Chu Qingtian so well-trained by Wu Ming, Ling Bai raised an eyebrow, grateful that This guide was the gentle and considerate Han Ruoru. He was a soft-hearted person and would likely sh with someone as fiery-tempered as Wu Ming. Igniting two volcanoes in one day would be quite a spectacle in the entire Shrek Academy! "Ming, Junior Brother Chu is still a new student. Be gentle with him," Han Ruoru advised softly. Wu Ming pouted, "Sister Ruoru, if I learned to be gentle, would those guys still call me that nickname?" "You..." Han Ruoru was speechless, shaking her head with a bitter smile. Wu Ming''s words were harsh, but her point was valid. Han Ruoru, with her gentle demeanor, was known as the Golden Fairy. Wu Ming, with her fiery and dominant personality, was known as the Active Volcano. As everyone knows, names can be wrong, but nicknames never are! Meanwhile, Chu Qingtian looked at Ling Bai with teary eyes, silently pleading, Brother Ling, save me! Ling Bai looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, pretending not to see. Brother, Wu Ming is at least a high-ranking Soul Emperor. I can''t help you! "Are Hua Yao and Gu Fan fighting on the stage?" Han Ruoru let out a light exmation, her gaze fixed on a pair of men and women fighting intensely in the center of the Soul Duel Arena. Both were six-ringed Soul Emperors, their soul rings shing, and their soul skills illuminating the entire arena. "Yes, they''ve been fighting for a while. They seem to have improved a lot after a few months without sparring." Zhang Yue Xuan, Han Ruoru, Wu Ming, Hua Yao, and Gu Fan were all around the same age and were part of the same batch of Shrek Seven Monsters. They were both friends and rivals. Wu Ming rubbed her wrist, clearly eager to join in. "Senior Sister, can I participate in the soul duels?" Ling Bai asked suddenly. Senior Sister? Calling her so affectionately? Wu Ming looked at the two suspiciously. Han Ruoru remained calm, "Sure. The Inner Academy''s Soul Duel Arena doesn''t consider cultivation levels but soul duel badges. New students are given white badges and will be matched with opponents who have white and yellow badges, mainly Soul Masters and Soul Emperors." Ling Bai thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I want to give it a try." He had chosen the morepetitive Inner Academy over thefortable Outer Academy to face challenges! "Alright, I''ll take Junior Brother to the registration office first, Ming." "Sure, Sister Ruoru." After they left, Wu Ming turned to Chu Qingtian, demanding, "What about you?" Chu Qingtian''s eyes darted around, "Senior Sister, I''ll pass for now." "p!" "Ah!" Wu Ming smacked Chu Qingtian''s head, causing a dull thud, and he yelped in pain. "Look at him, why are you so cowardly!" Ling Bai was participating in the soul duel, but Chu Qingtian wasn''t, and Wu Ming felt he was disgracing her. Chu Qingtian, holding his head, said pitifully, "Senior Sister, if I register with Brother Ling, we''ll be matched against each other, right?" "So what if you fight?" Wu Ming didn''t care. "Brother Ling entered the Inner Academy from the outside and beat me in the entrance exam. There''s a huge gap between us. Fighting again would be meaningless, and losing badly would embarrass you, Senior Sister!" Chu Qingtian wasn''t stupid. He saw through Wu Ming''s thoughts and hit the nail on the head.N?v(el)B\\jnn Seeing Wu Ming''s expression soften, he continued, "Don''t worry, Senior Sister. I''ll go after Brother Ling finishes, and I promise not to let you down!" "Talking so much, and you''re still a coward!" Wu Ming huffed but didn''t say anything more, tacitly epting Chu Qingtian''s words. Sigh, I have it so hard... Chu Qingtian sighed deeply, silently praying for the day to pass quickly. Living with a time bomb is like living each day as a year! At the registration office, a staff member handed Ling Bai a brand new white soul duel badge. Looking at the information on the soul conductor screen, he said, "Student Ling Bai, your soul duel has been sessfully matched. You will be the next after Hua Yao and Gu Fan. Please head to the entry area and wait. Your opponent has a yellow soul duel badge, Ling Luochen." "Ling Luochen? That''s... quite a coincidence."

"Flower Yao wins this round, gaining one point!" The referee descended from the sky, announcing the final oue of the soul battle. The lotus flower dissipated into pink light, revealing Gu Fan. He scratched the back of his head, a hint of regret in his expression: "I felt like I''ve improved recently, but I still lost to you." Flower Yao smiled: "It was a close win, and my Soul Power is almost depleted." "Do you want to go to the Mimetic Training Area with me?" Gu Fan extended an invitation, a bit hesitant. Flower Yao, without any suspicion, replied: "Sure." After the match, the referee sniffed the air, as if he smelled a sour odor. He was an Earth Attribute Soul Douluo responsible for refereeing and maintaining the arena. With a surge of Soul Power, the earth and stones flew, and in just a moment, the area where the lotus flower had broken through the ground was restored, leaving no trace of the high- level soul emperors who had battled there. "The next soul battle will begin soon. Please enter the arena quickly!" Ling Bai rose from the resting area and stepped into the Soul Duel Arena. There were not many spectators in the arena, but his unfamiliar yet exceptionally handsome face and young age still caused a murmur of whispers. Most of them were asking each other if anyone had seen this inner academy student before. On the opposite side, a woman entered the Soul Duel Arena. Even from a hundred meters away, the cold and detached aura emanating from her still enveloped Ling Bai. Truly deserving of the title Elemental Ice... Ling Bai looked at Ling Luochen across the arena. She was incredibly beautiful, neither as fiery and captivating as Ma Xiaotao nor as gentle and graceful as Han Ruoruo. Her unique and aloof demeanor, like a solitary plum blossom, left a deep impression on anyone who saw her. "Ling Bai? Ling Luochen?" Seeing the two enter the arena, a red-haired beauty in the audience couldn''t help but pause for a moment. Ma Xiaotao. It was rare for her not to have to worry about her evil fire getting out of control, so Ma Xiaotao naturally wanted to spend the day in the Soul Duel Arena, racking up soul battle points. She didn''t expect to run into two acquaintances. There was no need to borate on Ling Bai, who had fought fiercelyst night and then used his abilities to heal her evil fire. Ma Xiaotao''s connection with Ling Luochen also stemmed from the Phoenix Evil Fire. Ling Luochen possessed the Elemental Ice soul bone, making her the undisputed first ice attribute in Shrek Academy''s Inner Academy. In the past, Ma Xiaotao had asked her for help with her evil fire, but Ling Luochen had tly refused. Refusal was one thing; helping was a favor, and not helping was her right. Ma Xiaotao wouldn''t have held a grudge against Ling Luochen for that. What really made Ma Xiaotao lose her temper was the ridiculous reason Ling Luochen gave at the time! She had a phobia of dirt! Ma Xiaotao was so angry she almost couldn''t control her evil fire! Even thinking about it now made her breathing quicken! Beat her! Beat her hard! Beat her just like she beat me yesterday! Ma Xiaotao cheered for Ling Bai in her heart! "Ling Luochen, she just broke through to Soul King, right? This match will be tough for Ling Bai." Wu Ming frowned. As Chu Qingtian''s mentor, Wu Ming knew his Soul Power was at level 47, and Ling Bai looked at least three years younger than Chu Qingtian. A low-level Soul Master facing a Soul King, with a huge gap in Soul Power and experience, especially since Ling Luochen hadpleted two years of study at Shrek Academy''s Inner Academy, significantly improving herbat skills. Wu Ming didn''t think Ling Bai would be a match for her. Han Ruoruo smiled, and Chu Qingtian kept his eyes lowered, both maintaining all silence. Han Ruoruo had personally witnessed Ling Bai''s battle against Ma Xiaotao, where the formidable Evil Fire Phoenix Soul Emperor was thoroughly defeated. As for Ling Luochen... It was just a sprinkle of water! In the sky above, two figures looked down at the impending battle in the Soul Duel Arena. "Elder Xuan, why are you here today?" Yan Shaoshe asked the elder who held a chicken leg in one hand and a wine gourd in the other. Elder Xuan ignored him, taking a bite of the chicken leg before ncing at him sideways: "You''re a clever one, don''t tell me you don''t have a clue why I''m here." "Hahaha..." Yan Shaoshe tried to cover his embarrassment withughter. Indeed, the old monster Elder Xuan had sensed the grand and holy aura of the Six-Winged Angelst night. Elder Xuan gazed down at the two figures below, chewing on chicken, and mumbled: "Ling Luochen, I remember this girl. She was a reserve member of thest Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Battle Tournament and is currently a provisional member of the new Seven Monsters of Shrek. Her soul bone is Elemental Ice, and she''s the main controller in the team, performing quite well in a few matches." Elder Xuan had led the team for the past three tournaments, and the reserves often fought weaker opponents to hide the strength of the main members, so Ling Luochen had left an impression on him. Yan Shaoshe said calmly: "She''s no match for Ling Bai." He remembered how Ma Xiaotao''s eyes had turned red with anger when Ling Luochen refused to help her. As a teacher, he didn''t have a high opinion of Ling Luochen, so he naturally chose to support Ling Bai. "Of course, it''s normal for the Six-Winged Angel to fight above its level!" Elder Xuan, unaware of theplicated rtionship between Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, said irritably: "I want to see if Ling Luochen can force Ling Bai to reveal more!" "Eh, Elder Xuan is wise..." Seeing both contestants enter the arena, the referee shouted: "White Badge Ling Bai versus Yellow Badge Ling Luochen, the battle begins!" "White Badge, a freshman?" Ling Luochen, seeing Ling Bai''s face from a distance, felt a surge of joy mixed with her admiration for his beauty. A month ago, she had obtained her fifth soul ring, significantly boosting her strength. Winning this soul battle would allow her to advance from a yellow badge to a purple badge, bringing her closer to the three requirements for graduation. Matching up with a freshman at this time... What a lucky draw! Let''s end this quickly! With that thought, Ling Luochen''s icy blue eyes suddenly glowed, and her Elemental Ice soul bone was released. Five soul rings-yellow, yellow, purple, purple, ck-rose, and her delicate figure was covered in granr ice crystals. Her first soul ring flickered, and Ling Luochen grasped the air, summoning a two-meter-long ice staff with a blue glow. First soul skill: Ice Staff! The Ice Staff could reduce Ling Luochen''s Soul Power consumption by 20% and enhance the speed and power of all her Elemental Ice soul skills, making it a very powerful auxiliary skill. However, Ling Luochen''s actions were far from over. Her second soul ring lit up, and ice elements quickly formed a light blue ice armor, reflecting a brilliant light under the Soul Power and sunlight. Second soul skill: Ice Armor Protection. As the name suggests, this skill greatly increased her defense. Ling Luochen''s chosen path as a soul bone user made her a fragile mage, and the ice armor helped her resist the sudden attacks of agile and offensive soul masters. Both the first and second soul skills were auxiliary skills, indicating that Ling Luochen''s combat strength was quite ordinary before reaching the three-ringed soul emperor level. However, once she overcame this weak period, she would be exceptionally powerful! Ling Luochen pointed her staff at the sky, and the sky was instantly enveloped in ayer of icy blue. The ck fifth soul ring beneath her feet glowed intensely! Dark clouds formed above the Soul Duel Arena! Snowkes danced, sharp as des, swirling and falling to form an icy vortex that swept towards Ling Bai, emitting the sound of metal shing! Fifth soul skill: Fury of Ice Heaven! The entire arena was covered in a thinyer of ice. Thebination of Ice Staff and Fury of Ice Heaven amplified the cold of Elemental Ice to a level that could slow down even a Soul King or a soul emperor. The moment Fury of Ice Heaven descended, the temperature in the Soul Duel Arena plummeted to an extremely terrifying level. With the omnipresent cold control, Ling Luochen didn''t believe any soul master below level 60 could break through Fury of Ice Heaven''s attack! "She''s gotten stronger." Ma Xiaotao raised a Phoenix me in her left hand to resist the cold of Elemental Ice. Even though she didn''t want to admit it, Ling Luochen, after breaking through to Soul King, had the ability to exchange a few rounds with her! On the other side, Wu Ming, who seemed to share a strange bond with Ma Xiaotao, also used the Golden Crow Sacred Fire to warm his body. As a fire attribute soul master, cold was his most hated thing. Feeling the power of Fury of Ice Heaven, Wu Ming became even more convinced that Ling Bai wouldn''t be a match for Ling Luochen! The ice fog spread like a tidal wave across the sky, and Ling Bai stood in the blizzard, his empty hands, longshes, and nose covered in frost and snow. His calm golden eyes reflected the stormy Soul Duel Arena and the cold and detached woman controlling the ice and snow. "Is he scared stiff?" Wu Ming asked instinctively. Han Ruoruo and Chu Qingtian''s expressions tightened. They initially thought Ling Bai would win, but not using his soul bone at all was indeed too overconfident! In fact, many inner academy students, including the soul douluo referee, thought like Wu Ming, believing that Ling Bai, a freshman, had been shocked by Ling Luochen and forgotten to release his soul bone. The referee took a deep breath, gathering his Soul Power at his feet, ready to intervene. He was afraid that Ling Bai might be directly killed by Fury of Ice Heaven, which would be a huge responsibility for him! He had finally secured a position at Shrek Academy! He refused to lose it! Only Yan Shaoshe and Elder Xuan, hidden in the sky, focused intently on Ling Bai. These two seasoned individuals knew... What they wanted to see was about to happen! The sky suddenly brightened, and a golden domain descended. The Holy Angel Sword swung, its light like a golden rainbow! The moment the Holy Angel Sword was swung, Ling Bai took a step forward, and the sword mark rapidly extended, slicing through the ice fog, snow, Fury of Ice Heaven, and the dark clouds covering the Soul Duel Arena! A single sh unleashed a hundred-meter-long sword beam! Evil-Banishing sh! "Impossible!" Ling Luochen shouted in disbelief, her usual cold demeanor and inner pride shattered by the Evil-Banishing sh! Shock, anger, and disbelief! These were emotions Ling Luochen never showed to others! "How... how did you do that?" At this moment, Ling Luochen no longer cared about winning or losing; she just wanted an answer! The illusion of six wings appeared behind her, and a pair of golden angel wings unfolded. The four soul rings-yellow, purple, purple, ck-shed, causing Ling Luochen''s eyes to widen in shock again. Ling Bai rapidly approached her, smiling lightly: "Inherent domain suppresses elemental soul bones. Sorry, senior, this soul battle... Is my lucky draw! "Well done! Truly the Six-Winged Angel, a deity among soul bones, Elemental Ice is nothing before it!" Elder Xuanughed heartily, took a big gulp of wine, and patted Yan Shaoshe''s shoulder: "Shaoshe, the fourth great opportunity for the academy has arrived. We must do everything to keep this little monster in the academy!" "Elder Xuan, I want to, but..." Yan Shaoshe smiled bitterly: "He''s a disciple of the Nine Treasures. Taking the Six- Winged Angel from Jianmu Douluo is as difficult as stealing a Gold-Level Second Awakening Main Body Soul Power from the Main Body Sect''s old monsters!" "Jianmu Douluo? Is Old Man Zhou still alive?" Elder Xuan clicked his tongue, a hint of wariness shing in his eyes. Jianmu Douluo, who once fought the Dragon God Douluo Muen against the Main Body Sect''s two greats, was not someone to be trifled with! "We need to discuss this carefully. Here''s my n. We''ll do this... and this..." "Yes... Yes... We need you, Elder!" Yan Shaoshe secretly gave a thumbs up, marveling at the wisdom of having an old hand around. The old man had many tricks up his sleeve! In the Soul Duel Arena, the angel wings pped lightly, and Ling Bai approached Ling Luochen like a golden phantom, a smile on his face, feeling rxed and joyful. A lucky draw! Once he knew his opponent was Ling Luochen, the oue of the soul battle was no longer in doubt. It didn''t matter if Ling Luochen was only at level 51 or even level 61 today; Ling Bai would still wag his finger at her. Elemental Ice? Not good enough! The reason was simple. The Angel Realm''s range carried Holy Power, which equally suppressed all non-extreme attributes and continuously applied Angel Purification within the domain, leaving only the sacred element. Ling Luochen''s Elemental Ice soul bone was purely ice, so her soul skills, when encountering the Angel Realm, were like ice meeting a zing sun. After a few rounds, her Elemental Ice was purified, and her soul skills naturally lost much of their power! Seeing the approaching figure, Ling Luochen subconsciously bit her pale pink lip, the red liquid trickling down her chin. Ling Luochen didn''t care about the minor details, her gaze fixed on the phantom-like Ling Bai. At eleven years old, Ling Bai was neither tall nor strong, looking like a delicate and pampered young noble, yet he gave her unprecedented pressure in her eighteen years! She gripped her ice staff tighter, her white hands trembling with tension! "It''s just a soul battle, why be so stubborn..." Her stubborn expression told Ling Bai that Ling Luochen had no intention of giving up! With Ling Luochen''sbat experience, Ling Bai didn''t believe she couldn''t see that her defeat was inevitable. Since it wasn''t a life-or-death battle, Ling Luochen stubbornly chose to fight to the end, throwing everything she had into it! The ice fog and snowkes danced again, and Ling Bai shook his head. "So stubborn..." In the golden light, the ice fog and snowkes scattered, and everything in their path was shredded by the sword beam. The Holy Angel Sword, once swung, roared like an angry dragon!

A sh of Golden Sword Qi appeared, and a crack formed in the center of the Ice Staff. Half a secondter, the crack spread like a spider web, and the Ice Staff shattered into tiny blue ice fragments, sprinkling on both of their faces and bodies. Ling Luochen plopped down with a thud, his cold face staring nkly at the angelic-looking youth and the radiant Holy Sword. The youth''s expressionless face, illuminated by the light from behind, was breathtakingly handsome. "Still want to fight?" At that moment, a sudden gust of wind blew, pping the red school uniform like a banner. The intense light emanating from the youth made Ling Luochen''s eyes sting, and he turned his head away, muttering, "I concede..." "Thank you, senior." Ling Bai reached out to help the dejected Ling Luochen up and then turned to leave. "This round, Ling Bai wins! Since the White Badge defeated the Yellow Badge, the Soul Combat points are doubled!" The referee announced the result. "Wait... it''s over already?" The situation had reversed in the blink of an eye. Ling Luochen''s Ice Heaven Wrath had made the audience think the battle was already over, but who would have thought that Ling Bai would finish Ling Luochen in just a few moves! Looking at Ling Bai''s retreating back as he returned to the Soul Combat rest area, the Inner Academy students in the audience fell into a dead silence, pondering two questions. Can I handle one of the current Shrek Seven Monsters, Ling Luochen? If it were me, how many moves could Ist against that Six-Winged Angel Sword? Wu Ming was one of those thinking. After a while, she leaned close to Han Ruoru''s ear with aplex expression and said, "Sister Ruoru, I''m starting to sweat..." "Why, feeling threatened by your junior?" Han Ruoru, with her keen insight, instantly understood Wu Ming''s thoughts. "Sigh..." Even if she was reluctant, Wu Ming couldn''t deceive herself. She clung to Han Ruoru''s arm and said bitterly, "Young people these days are too terrifying. Ling Bai is still young, but by the time he''s twenty, I feel that even you and Senior Sister will find it hard to match him. He could suppress the entire Inner Academy!" Wu Ming was deeply distressed. By then, she, the Inner Academy''s live volcano, would likely turn into a dormant one, and anyone who dared to erupt would face an angel with a Holy Swording to extinguish the fire! "Not that exaggerated..." Han Ruoru couldn''t help butugh, but she understood Wu Ming''s fluctuating emotions. A genius who had always looked down on others suddenly found that there were even higher mountains, and the disparity in the world made her feel out of ce. At that moment, all the Inner Academy students in the Soul Combat arena were silent, except for one. Chu Qingtian! He grinned widely, showing his gleaming white teeth. Don''t ask why he was happy. Think about it, if Inner Academy senior Ling Luochen could be defeated by Ling Bai, what was the big deal about him losing to Ling Bai yesterday! What! The! Big! Deal! "Ling Bai, please wait a moment." Just as Ling Bai was about to step into the exit corridor, a voice suddenly called out from behind. The Soul Combat referee! "What is it?" Ling Bai asked. The referee held a soul-conducting screen, showing Ling Bai the information on it. "A student has challenged you to a Soul Combat. Do you ept?" Ling Bai was puzzled. He was a new Inner Academy student, and someone was challenging him? Unbelievable! "The challenger is White Badge Dugu Lin." "Her?" Ling Bai frowned slightly, and the image of the alluring woman with short green hair came to mind. Dugu Lin had witnessed Ling Bai easily defeating Chu Qingtian and Ling Luochen. How could she dare to challenge him? Looking for trouble... Or relying on something? "I ept." Others might fear the Emerald Phosphorus Snake''s poison, but the Six-Winged Angel had no such fear. There was no reason for Ling Bai to refuse the Soul Combat points that were being offered. The referee nodded and announced, "Next Soul Combat: White Badge Dugu Lin challenges White Badge Ling Bai. Please enter the arena!" The audience was in an uproar. A White Badge meant a new student, and new students were usually at the Soul Master level. After seeing the Four-Ringed Six-Winged Angel handle a Five-Ringed Elemental Ice, they couldn''t help but admire the unknown student named Dugu Lin! She''s a tough one! "Dugu Lin..." In the sky, Elder Xuan sighed deeply, "The only surviving descendant of the Dugu family. If not for the Emerald Phosphorus Snake''s poison affecting her body, one of the Shrek Seven Monsters would certainly be her." "Her condition... the academy is helpless..." Shao Zhe, with his hands behind his back, his voice filled with regret. Dugu Lin''s Emerald Phosphorus Snake poison was as troublesome as Ma Xiaotao''s Phoenix Evil Fire! From the opponent''s entrance, a graceful figure approached. Neither of them rushed to start the battle, standing at opposite ends of the Soul Combat arena, gazing at each other. Dugu Lin tilted her head slightly and broke the silence first: "Ling Bai, we meet again." Her slender fingers traced her swan-like, smooth neck, and a seductive smile appeared on her face. "Since it''s a challenge, there should be a stake. How about we make a bet?" "No." Ling Bai refused decisively. "Why?" "You have ulterior motives." "Unromantic, at least hear me out!" Dugu Lin pouted, her alluring figure exuding charm. "If you win, I''m yours. If you lose, I''m still yours... How about it, will you bet with me?" Hearing this, Ling Bai felt three question marks appear above his head. "You''re a good person, what''s the difference in winning or losing?" "Of course, it''s about who''s on top in the future." "...Can we talk about something else?" "yful during the day, intimate at night, don''t you like it?" Dugu Lin''s tender tongue lightly licked her red lips, and her seductive demeanor made many male students in the audience with low self-control look like lecherous pigs, their eyes turning into bouncing pink hearts. Noticing the rising hormone levels around her, Wu Ming frowned and turned to Chu Qingtian, saying bluntly, "Hey, what''s up with this Dugu Lin? She doesn''t seem like a decent person!" "Ah?" Chu Qingtian''s body jolted, like a student caught daydreaming in ss. He paused for a moment and said, "Dugu Lin, Soul Power: Emerald Phosphorus Snake, Soul Power level 49, entered the Inner Academy this year along with me and Brother Ling." "Level 49, so Ling Bai will definitely win." Wu Ming said confidently. She didn''t believe a small Emerald Phosphorus Snake Soul Master could defeat the monster who had crushed Ling Luochen. "Senior, to be honest, Brother Ling might not have as much of an advantage over Dugu Lin as you think. A slight mistake could lead to defeat." Chu Qingtian hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and spoke the truth. "Why?" Wu Ming asked curiously. Han Ruoru also looked at him inquisitively. As the only one who had fought both Ling Bai and Dugu Lin, Chu Qingtian''s evaluation was valuable. Reying the battles with the two monsters in his mind, Chu Qingtian licked his dry lips and exined, "Dugu Lin is the undisputed first in the Outer Academy. This year, six students entered the Inner Academy. Apart from Brother Bai, the rest of us four together are no match for Dugu Lin. For her, dealing with one or four is the same." Wu Ming was shocked, "I remember the Emerald Phosphorus Snake isn''t a top-tier Soul Power. How did she achieve this?" "The Emerald Phosphorus Snake is a highly toxic Soul Power, maybe it''s the poison?" Han Ruoru guessed. "Senior Han is right," Chu Qingtian smiled bitterly. "Dugu Lin has a natural talent for poison. Her approach ispletely different from her ancestors Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan''s control of snake venom. She has developed her own path! Her Emerald Phosphorus Snake poison is extremely potent, and... Dugu Lin is a madwoman!" "yful during the day, intimate at night?" In the Soul Combat arena, Ling Bai took a slow step forward, stopping thirty meters from Dugu Lin. The steel shadow on the arena''s ceiling, limiting the height of Soul Power flight, created a chasm between the green-haired woman and him. The sunlight illuminated them differently, one warm and alluring, the other cold and aloof. His golden eyes, like frosted mirrors, Ling Bai looked at Dugu Lin and said, "Has anyone told you that your perfume can''t hide the scent of snake venom? Looking at your hair and eye color, I''m really curious, is the liquid flowing in your veins blood or poison?" Thirty meters away, Dugu Lin lowered her head silently, her red lips curling into a delicate smile, her face suddenly radiating a demonic aura. In an instant, a purple, venomous arrow shot toward Ling Bai! Ling Bai dodged to the side, the venom grazing his shoulder and hitting the ground. Within seconds, the ground was corroded into a pit more than half a meter deep, emitting a nauseating stench, and the edges continued to spread outward like a gaping mouth. "This is a new school uniform." Ling Bai said to Dugu Lin, almost reproachfully. If the uniform got a drop of Emerald Phosphorus Snake poison, it would be ruined, and he''d have to spend money to buy a new one from the academy. "If you can leave the Soul Combat arena with your clothes intact today, I swear I''ll change my last name!" Dugu Lin, naturally alluring, became even more enchanting as her lower body transformed into a snake tail. Even when making a threat, her seductive demeanor was irresistible. "Anxious?" Ling Bai was unfazed. Dugu Lin had started with ulterior motives, and he had merely spoken the truth. Dugu Lin was overreacting! "It seems you''ve guessed some things. I won''t waste my time trying to seduce you, you straight man!" Dugu Lin smiled, her eyes, now strange green diamonds, giving her an eerie charm. Her sharp fingertips turned and stabbed into her own chest! Ling Bai''s eyes narrowed. Dugu Lin could not possibly be attempting suicide. There was only one reason for her actions! Her fingers pulled out, blood dripping from them. Dugu Lin seemed to feel no pain, saying, "Ling Bai, let me teach you something.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The most vicious thing in the world is poison. Like extreme emotions like joy, fear, anger, and despair, poison invades the body and greatly stimtes the nerves and body. So, poison is also... a drug!" Dugu Lin''s face was now covered in a terrifying green hue! "My Emerald Phosphorus Snake poison gives me power beyond my limits! Are you ready?" Self-created Soul Skill: Poison to the Bone Marrow! Effect: All attributes surge!

Feeling the surging aura around Dugu Lin, Ling Bai''s expression turned grave. Just one sentence: Dugu Lin''s venom now contained not a single drop of blood! "Hahaha, I never had much time left to live, so what''s the point of talking about life?" Dugu Linughed to the sky, but herughter carried a hint of sorrow and destion: "The Emerald Phosphorus Snake is one of the strongest poison-type soul beasts in the world, but it also brings the bacsh of its poison. I am neither human nor ghost, and I have to poison my own descendants! I was infected by the Emerald Phosphorus Snake poison in the womb, and after my soul beast awakened, they determined I wouldn''t live past twenty-five! But misfortune and fortune are intertwined; there is always a gain with every loss. I possess Emerald Phosphorus Snake poison that is several times stronger than that of ordinary Emerald Phosphorus Snake soul masters!" Dugu Lin''s snake tail swayed, and the seductive allure of the snake woman made people involuntarily feel a burning sensation. Waves of emerald green soul power surged out like a flood, and four soul rings-two yellow and two purple-appeared. The first soul ring immediately lit up! A massive snake with a body covered in emerald green scales and a triangr head burst through the ground. Its mouth, filled with fangs, opened to an exaggerated 180 degrees, and its eyes shed with a bloodthirsty ferocity as it lunged at Ling Bai! First soul skill: Emerald Snake Strangle! The third soul ring of the five-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragon King glowed, and the Holy Angel Sword erupted with a brilliant golden light. Ling Bai''s will, soul power, and spirit instantly broke through their constraints, entering a new realm. The sword tip extended into a three-foot-long de, making the Holy Angel Sword even more slender and sharp. The sword tip rose, and the sword energy howled! "Boom-" The giant snake was perfectly sliced in half by the Holy Angel Sword, enhanced by the Sacred Heart, and fell to the ground, turning into a pool of poison that corroded everything around it. Strands of solidified, foul-smelling vapor dispersed in the air, and everyone who smelled it frowned, trying to endure the physical difort caused by the Emerald Phosphorus Snake poison. A figure stepped into the sky, bathed in golden light. His long, golden hair reached his waist, and the sunlight outlined his exceptionally handsome features. The Holy Angel Sword, as long as his body, exuded a noble and elegant aura, and his golden eyes reflected a faint cold arrogance. "If that''s all you''ve got, your vow will be in vain." "That was just an appetizer. You''ll leave the Soul Duel Arena today with nothing but your bare bottom!" Dugu Lin''s voice was sultry andzy. As she spoke, her four soul rings spread out and neatly lined up on either side of her body, emitting four interwoven, dazzling lights! "Roar!!!" A deep roar suddenly echoed through the Inner Court Soul Duel Arena. A ghostly emerald green figure slowly emerged from each of Dugu Lin''s soul rings. "Five Emerald Phosphorous Poisons..." Ling Bai''s face visibly tensed, and the veins on his right hand, which gripped the Holy Angel Sword, began to throb. If Ning Tian were watching, she would be very surprised, for this was a rare disy of extreme caution from Ling Bai! Emerald Phosphorous Scorpion, Emerald Phosphorous Centipede, Emerald Phosphorous Toad, Emerald Phosphorous Gecko! All four of Dugu Lin''s first four soul rings were the most venomous soul beasts in the world! And then there was Dugu Lin''s own soul beast, the Emerald Phosphorus Snake! The Five Emerald Phosphorous Poisons were all present! "Madwoman..." Ling Bai''s facial muscles twitched. Dugu Lin, who had suffered from the Emerald Phosphorus Snake poison, dared to absorb the other four poisons. This was not just a matter of risking her life; it was like dancing at the gates of death, taunting the Grim Reaper: Come and get me! "Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Dugu Lin''s actions continued! The four poisons burst into a brilliant glow, and beams of light shot out from the ghostly figures, tracing intricate patterns in the sky, forming aplex and intricate light array! At the same time, the ghostly figure of the Emerald Phosphorus Snake emerged from Dugu Lin''s body, its triangr tongue flickering, and its fangs glistening with a cold, sinister light. In the shocked gaze of all present, it devoured the ghostly figures of the other four poisons, then returned to Dugu Lin''s body! Each of the Five Emerald Phosphorous Poisons was a rare and potent poison, and when the fivebined, the resulting poison could only be described with one word: Absolute! The Five Poisons merged into the Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison! "Fourth soul skill, Heavenly Obscure Poison Pond!" Dugu Lin''s final purple soul ring erupted, and a cloud quickly formed in the sky. A torrent of emerald green rain poured down, seemingly powerless, but as the raindrops sliced through the air, they left a faint ck trace behind! Poison rain! Each raindrop was filled with the terrifying Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison. The dense, emerald green raindrops fell from the sky, and suddenly, a golden light tore through the rain! Angel Realm! The golden Angel Realm forcefully dominated the entire sky, and the countless raindrops seemed to be attracted to it. As they touched the toxic raindrops, the golden light gradually dimmed and its expansion slowed, as if it were stuck in quicksand. Eventually, the raindrops would reach the ground, and the poison rain would form an endless emerald pond, instantly flooding the Soul Duel Arena. Bubbles of various sizes continuously rose and burst in the pond, releasing a dense emerald green mist that drifted like smoke. "Soul Conductor Shield, activate!" Seeing the situation worsen, the referee shouted. The soul masters hidden around the Soul Duel Arena injected their soul power, and a semi-circr Soul Conductor Shield rapidly rose, isting the Heavenly Obscure Poison Pond from spreading further and threatening the innocent. The poison rain pounded against the Soul Conductor Shield, producing a series of dull, "plop plop" sounds. Many students in the arena could no longer sit still and began to rise, seemingly intent on leaving the Soul Duel Arena. Poison is one of the easiest things to evoke fear in people, and the Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison undoubtedly exceeded the tolerance of some! "Seniors, did you see that..." Chu Qingtian pointed to the Heavenly Obscure Poison Pond formed by the Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison andughed bitterly: "Since Dugu Lin broke through to the Four-Ring Soul Master, no one in the entire Shrek Academy Outer Court has dared to fight her." Han Ruoru and Wu Ming''s faces were grim. No wonder Chu Qingtian thought Ling Bai might lose; the Five Emerald Phosphorous Poisonsbined might have already transcended the realm of ultimate poison! If they were at the same level, they would definitely not be a match for Dugu Lin! Behind a cloud in the sky, Soul Master Department Head Yan Shaozhe was intensely discussing with Taotie Douluo Elder Xuan. "Dugu Lin has never used the Five Poisonsbined in the Outer Court for so many years! Elder Xuan, is this the ultimate poison?" "Hmm..." Elder Xuan was about to nod but suddenly noticed something, and his cloudy old eyes lit up: "No, that''s not right! It''s still a bit off!" He pointed to the golden Angel Realm. "Look, the rain is getting lighter, which means the Angel Realm is starting to suppress the poison rain. If it were the ultimate poison, it would at least achieve a 40-60 split with the Angel Realm, being at a disadvantage but not suppressed. The Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison... at most, it''s half a step from the ultimate poison!" Don''t underestimate this half step; Ma Xiaotao''s Fiery Evil Phoenix can''t even reach half a step in ultimate fire! Elder Xuan made his final judgment: "In terms of attributes, among the Outer and Inner Courts, Dugu Lin is the first after Ling Bai!"

In the emerald-green toxic pool, Dugu Lin casually brushed the hair from her forehead. || Ling Bai rubbed his temples. Dugu Lin''s strength was truly unexpected. The Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison was just a step away from being the ultimate poison, and even the Six- Winged Angel couldn''tpletely overwhelm it, only gradually purifying the stubborn toxins. Dugu Lin''s fourth soul skill, Heavenly Poison Abyss, was of the highest quality. It could almost be considered a pseudo-domain soul skill, maximizing the advantages of the Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison! Self-created soul skill Poison to the Bone Marrow, the five-toxin fusion Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison, and the pseudo-domain soul skill Heavenly Poison Abyss... Dugu Lin was indeed a prodigy, but all of this power came at the cost of her life! ording to her, she wouldn''t live past twenty-five, so at seventeen, she had only eight years left! "Ignoring me?" Dugu Lin pouted, looking up at the golden Six-Winged Angel in the sky. Her jade hand suddenly lifted, and as the third soul ring emitted light, icy eyes appeared in the Heavenly Poison Abyss! The third soul skill of the emerald phosphorous snake, Toxic Stream! The Heavenly Poison Abyss was instantly filled with countless venomous snakes, their cold, emerald eyes staring at Ling Bai, who held the holy sword. They awaited Dugu Lin''smand to unleash a deluge of Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison, instantly engulfing the golden angel in the sky. Seemingly to retaliate for Ling Bai''s indifference, Dugu Lin acted decisively. The upper bodies of the snakes protruded, their mouths wide open, aiming at Ling Bai. The sound of venom being sprayed filled the Soul Duel Arena, the high-pressure streams of venom sshing onto a magnificent seven-pointed star array! Radiant Spirit Formation: Control! Ling Bai supported the radiant spirit formation with one hand, allowing the Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison to corrode the seven-pointed star. The light gradually dimmed, and the continuous stream of venom from the ground seemed to form a curtain of rain! Time stood still for half a minute. If Ling Bai, suspended in the sky, had lowered his head, he would have noticed that Dugu Lin on the ground had already closed her eyes, her expression as serene and calm as a meditating monk. When the radiant spirit formation reached its limit and dissipated, Ling Bai finally moved. Ling Bai opened his eyes, facing the zing sun. At that moment, his eyes shone brighter than the sun itself, and the second and third soul rings blossomed simultaneously! Golden mist rose from his body, his blood flowing freely like spring water, each cell breathing freely, and iparable strength surged through his limbs! The angel''s holy sword created an imprable domain. Any venom that approached was shattered into toxic mist, which was then blown away by the swift wind of the holy sword, forming a green sphere centered around Ling Bai! Evil-Dispelling sh: Circr Dance! Stacked Sacred Heart! The light of the Angel Realm burst forth, and Ling Bai, enveloped by the Angel Realm, descended like a golden deity, overwhelming the snakes in the Heavenly Poison Abyss, which hissed and spat venom in a futile attempt to dy the impending judgment! Dugu Lin was also flustered, franticallymanding the snakes to attack. She couldn''t believe that her half-ultimate five-toxin fusion Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison was once again suppressed by the Six-Winged Angel! Seven golden beams quietlynded at seven points in the Heavenly Poison Abyss, forming the Big Dipper Formation Diagram. The sacred power from the sky converged, creating a devastating holy tornado! Radiant Spirit Formation: Storm! Countless snakes were sucked into the holy tornado and annihted by the sacred power and holy sword aura. But Dugu Lin dove into the Heavenly Poison Abyss, revealing her hidden second soul skill! Second soul skill, Flexible Water Snake Body! Dugu Lin merged with the Heavenly Poison Abyss, bing part of it, allowing her to teleport instantly and ignore physical attacks! Avoiding the sweep of the radiant spirit formation, Dugu Lin emerged from the toxic pool. Her clothes, corroded by the Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison, were now covered by the green venom, which clung to her delicate skin, sliding down her corbone to her alluring waist, and finally dripping back into the pool, creating ripples. Although they were some distance apart, Ling Bai could clearly see the flexibility of her taut waist. "You didn''t catch me, oh." Dugu Lin extended her tender, red tongue, lightly licking her red lips, a gesture that concealed a seductive allure. "But I believe you are already within my control." Ling Bainded on the ground, his angelic wings and holy sword dissipating into a shower of light. He reached out his empty right hand, and his entire right arm instantly lit up!N?v(el)B\\jnn Before Dugu Lin could react, a roar echoed through the air, as if a monster was breaking free from a cage! A massive creature indeed broke through the air! It was a golden dragon, ruthlessly breaking through the constraints of space and time, crashing into the Heavenly Poison Abyss filled with Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison! A closer look revealed that the dragon was a fearsome creatureposed of thousands of golden bones, each bone radiating the light and heat of a falling sun. Even the sacred power of the Angel Realm was being forcibly drawn into the dragon, continuously strengthening the golden fury! The golden dragon spiraled in the air, elerating to several times the speed of sound. With a deafening roar, it crashed into the corrosive Heavenly Poison Abyss with an unstoppable force! zing Bone Dragon Eagle Ten-Thousand Year Soul Bone Skill, Sacred Dragon True Form! The soul bone contained the essence of the soul beast''s flesh and blood. The thief who stole the dragon''s blood could not hide the brilliance of the Sacred Dragon True Form! The Sacred Dragon True Form, revealing its holy and radiant form, plunged into the toxic pool, its intense light and sacred power, along with its intense heat, mercilessly destroying the emerald-green toxic pool fused with the five poisons. When the light faded, the center of the Soul Duel Arena was left with only a blinding golden light, a venue corroded by the Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison, and a pitiful referee preparing to repair the venue with tears in his eyes. Inside the golden light, Ling Bai stood while Dugu Lin crouched in an awkward position. The toxic liquid that had covered her body, shielding her modesty, was evaporated by the heat of the Sacred Dragon True Form, and she was now protecting her vital areas from exposure. A streak of blood stained Dugu Lin''s red lips, adding a touch of bloody rose-like allure to her already alluring appearance. Dugu Lin managed a weak smile, whispering, "Heh... you win..." Before she could finish, a red school uniform was gently draped over her shoulders. Dugu Lin froze for a moment, then looked up to see Ling Bai''s calm profile and clear, bright eyes. "You fulfilled your vow, but I couldn''t leave the Soul Duel Arena intact," Ling Bai said. Hearing this, Dugu Lin noticed a small, fingernail-sized hole on the left elbow of the red school uniform, clearly caused by the Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison. "Put it on. I''ll dispel the Angel Realm in two minutes." Dugu Lin smiled silently. This time, her naturally seductive smile was unexpectedly sweet, very faint, like a heartwarming smile, as if she had inadvertently recalled a silly mistake from years ago andughed at it, her eyes sparkling with a radiant glow...

"No, what did they do?" Wu Ming rubbed his eyes, disbelief etched on his face. Han Ruoru and Chu Qingtian were equally incredulous, and whispers spread among the spectators. The reason was simple: the two of them had been acting far too ambiguously. Ling Bai was d in a simple white inner robe, his school uniform having vanished without a trace. In stark contrast, Dugu Lin was draped in a loose red school uniform, which was clearlyrger than her actual size, making her look disheveled. The sunlight glinted off her smooth, white, and shapely legs, casting a dazzling light. "You''re very impressive. We''ll meet again next time." Dugu Lin sent Ling Bai a flying kiss and skipped away from the Inner Academy Soul Arena barefoot, leaving the audience in a state of confusion, wondering what had transpired in the Angel Realm that had so dramatically changed Dugu Lin''s attitude. "Dugu Lin''s challenge failed, Ling Bai wins, one point!" The referee dutifully announced the result. Ling Bai nodded in acknowledgment and left the arena to return to the rest area. On the other side, Chu Qingtian quietly approached Wu Ming, whispering mysteriously, "Senior Wu, I have a secret to tell you." "Hm?" Wu Ming raised an eyebrow, a hint of confusion in her eyes. Chu Qingtian lowered his voice so only they could hear, "Yesterday, Isted longer under Ling Ge''s attack than Ling Luochen and Dugu Lin!" This was true, as Ling Bai hadn''t been serious at the time. Wu Ming was silent for a moment before quietly uttering two words: "Impressive." "Senior Wu, you tter me... Hey, calm down, don''t roll up your sleeves! Don''t roll up your sleeves!" Chu Qingtian first looked smug, then panicked as the Inner Academy''s live volcano was about to erupt! "Come on, let''s go to the Soul Arena. I want to see how thick your skin is and if you can withstand my Golden Crow Sacred Fire!" "Senior, ck Badge can''t fight White Badge! Follow the rules! Shrek''s rules!" "Less talk, win and I''ll give you a hundred times the points!" Amidst Wu Ming''s angry scolding and Chu Qingtian''s cries for help, Ling Bai returned to the spectator seats, looking at the two who had left and asking Han Ruoru: "Senior, what''s going on with them?" Han Ruoru replied calmly, "I''m not sure, but they seem to have a good rtionship." Ling Bai cast a skeptical nce. Good rtionship? How did you see that, Sister? Chu Qingtian was about to be thrashed! "Forget about them." Han Ruoru shook her head with a smile, her deep, dark eyes focusing on Ling Bai as she scrutinized him and then teased, "Little Junior, defeating Dugu Lin and the next Shrek Seven Monsters, Ling Luochen, you''re about to make a big ssh." "Senior, you tter me." "I''m not ttering you." Han Ruoru said seriously, "The Soul Master Tournament will be held in a year. Ling Luochen and the previous reserve team will be the main team, but eligible Inner Academy students can challenge them, which is also a way to spur them on. Leaving aside Ma Xiaotao, who can''t control her evil fire, you and Dugu Lin are the only two students I see as capable of threatening their positions." "Who knows what will happen in a year?" Ling Bai smiled nonchntly. If he wanted to, recing the main team would be easy. "Do you want to fight?" Han Ruoru asked. "No." "Then let''s go, I''ll take you to the Mimetic Training Area." "Okay."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The two left the Soul Arena and headed to the Mimetic Training Area, finding a room specifically built for Light Soul Masters. Inside, a branch of the Golden Tree hung, its dense Light power capable of tripling Ling Bai''s cultivation speed. "Ling Bai, this is the Heavenly Treasure that can help you suppress the Power of the Evil God of the Death Prison Spider Emperor," Ilex''s voice suddenly echoed. "So it is the Golden Tree..." Ilex added, "But this branch is far from enough. You must find a way to get closer to the Golden Tree itself." "I understand, Elder Ilex." Ling Bai replied and then immersed himself in meditation. As the sun set, Ling Bai and Han Ruoru finished their cultivation. After having dinner together, Ling Bai escorted Han Ruoru back to her residence and prepared to return to his own small house. After a full day of exploration, Ling Bai had a basic understanding of the Inner Academy of Shrek. Despite the strict elimination system, the academic atmosphere was rtively free and open, with little restriction on the students, which he found very satisfying. A cold gust of wind suddenly blew past, causing Ling Bai to pause. His golden eyes fixed on a brownish-yellow light orb above a towering tree by theke. "Very sharp senses." An elderly voice came from the brownish-yellow light orb, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared before Ling Bai. "You seem quite capable during the day. How about old man tests you?" "Test me?" The brownish-yellow light obscured Ling Bai''s vision, but the sound made it seem like the person was chewing something! "Kid, catch this!" The old man spoke, and a long, thin object emerged from the brownish-yellow light orb, aiming straight for Ling Bai''s chest. A chicken bone? Ling Bai identified the object, and golden light coalesced into the Angelic Holy Sword, which The swung to strike the chicken bone. "Boom-" The sound of the sword and bone colliding was like a soul cannon explosion. The ancient trees on the Sea God Ind, which rivaled a hundred-year-old nt Soul Beast, could not withstand the terrifying aura and were pushed to the sides by the shockwave. At the same time, Dean Yan Shaozhe hid in the air, and the old man in the brownish-yellow light orb was Elder Xuan. They were following their n, gradually approaching Ling Bai. Elder Xuan''s soul power, as heavy as the earth, enveloped the chicken bone, preventing it from breaking under the Angelic Holy Sword''s sharp edge. Elder Xuan took a deep breath, and a surging force poured out. How powerful was Elder Xuan, the Taotie Douluo? He could pin a Sealed Titan Strength Sealed Douluo to the ground and rub his face in it with brute force. Against Ling Bai, he wouldn''t use his full strength, but heunched a full attack equivalent to a Six-Ringed Soul Emperor. Yet, Ling Bai could match him, not yielding in the slightest! "The physical constitution of a humanoid beast..." Elder Xuan silently assessed Ling Bai''s body. With only forty-one levels of soul power, Ling Bai''s physical strength had reached the level of a Soul Emperor! After a moment of stalemate, the Angelic Holy Sword suddenly sliced through the chicken bone with a burst of sword energy. Ling Bai took a few steps back and said pointedly: "You are a Sealed Douluo, it''s boring to bully a young Soul Master. Why don''t you find our Shrek College''s Soul Master Department Dean, a Super Douluo, for a match?" Elder Xuan was taken aback, then the brownish-yellow light around him dissipated, and he burst intoughter: "Hahaha, interesting! Don''t hide, Shaozhe, the little monster is smart, he guessed you were here too!" Yan Shaozhe descended from the sky, his face devoid of any displeasure, only satisfaction. The more outstanding Ling Bai was, the more he felt all the effort was worth it. "Ling Bai, this is our Shrek College''s Sea God Pavilion Elder, the Taotie Douluo Elder Xuan." Yan Shaozhe introduced Elder Xuan to Ling Bai, who temporarily put aside his slovenly appearance of holding a chicken leg in one hand and a wine gourd in the other, adopting a dignified demeanor. "Greetings, Elder Xuan." Ling Bai bowed. As a ny-eighth-level Sealed Douluo, giving respect was necessary. "No need for formalities, today Elder Xuan and I are here to offer you a great opportunity!" Yan Shaozhe stared intently at Ling Bai''s face, his eyes zing with excitement. As the Shrek College Dean and a ny-fifth-level Bright Phoenix Douluo, he could hardly contain his excitement! Shrek''s Fourth Glory, within reach! "Please, Dean." "Ling Bai, Elder Xuan''s name as the Taotie Douluo is renowned throughout the continent, and he has lived over two hundred years without a sessor to inherit his skills." At this point, Yan Shaozhe slowed his speech, and Elder Xuan nodded in agreement, a hint of regret shing across his face at the thought of his legacy fading with time. "I specially asked Elder Xuan to take you as hisst disciple. Earlier, Elder Xuan was testing your abilities." Elder Xuan chimed in, his voice resonant: "Your talent is excellent, with a divine-level soul, extreme attributes, an innate domain, exquisite swordsmanship, and physical strength far exceeding your soul power. You have the qualifications to be myst disciple and inherit my legacy!" Taking a disciple! This was the n Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe had devised to snatch Ling Bai away from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower! In the Douluo Continent, blood tiese first, followed by the master-disciple rtionship! A teacher is like a father. Ling Bai bing Elder Xuan''s disciple would brand him with the mark of Shrek College, ensuring he would be a part of Shrek and take over the position of Sea God Pavilion Master, leading Shrek College to its fourth glory! "Ling Bai, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and kneel down and be a disciple!" Seeing Ling Bai''sck of reaction, Yan Shaozhe urged. Ling Bai stood quietly, looking at the two Sealed Douluo with hopeful expressions, and slowly but firmly shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Xuan and Dean Yan, but I''m sorry, I already have a teacher."

You can also join the Geriatric Trantions Community on Discord to connect with other readers: https://discord.gg/NSWvfN7vua "You, refuse?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Elder Xuan repeated, his expression slightly taken aback. The Ny-Eighth Rank Sealed Douluo had been outright rejected by Ling Bai! He would beughed to death by the old fossils of his generation if this news got out! "Yes, Elder Xuan, I refuse." Ling Bai''s gentle smile on his jade-like face exuded an unshakable determination. Yan Shaozhe was equally surprised. He quickly recovered and said in a grave tone, "Ling Bai, don''t make a hasty decision. I should have exined what being Elder Xuan''sst disciple means." "First, you already have a teacher, but a soul master can have many teachers in their lifetime. For example, Ancestor Tang San had Master Yu Xiaogang as his teacher, but did ndre, Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wujie not also teach him? So, there''s no need to worry too much about it. "Second, as a member of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, you should understand that the higher your soul power, the harder it is to advance. If you be Elder Xuan''s disciple, I guarantee that you will break through to Sealed Douluo within twenty years! You are eleven years old now, so in twenty years, at the age of thirty-one, you will be a Six-Winged Angel Sealed Douluo, roaming the world! "Third, Shrek Academy will fully support you. Your soul rings will be taken care of by the academy, so you don''t need to worry about them. The academy will also do its best to find suitable full-body soul bones for you, each at least ten thousand years old! When you break through to the nieth level of soul power, the academy will help you hunt a ten-thousand- year-old soul beast! "Fourth, Shrek Academy is a school. Whether you are Elder Xuan''sst disciple or the Sea God Pavilion''s leader, the academy does not force anyone to join or leave a sect. You will still be a disciple of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower! "This is the joint promise made to you by the Shrek Academy Soul Power Department Dean, Sea God Pavilion elder Elder Xuan, and the top academy on the continent, Shrek Academy." "Shaozhe''s words represent my thoughts as well." Elder Xuan, being an old hand, immediately expressed his support to bolster Yan Shaozhe''s words. They hoped Ling Bai would reconsider. Hearing this, Ling Bai leaned back slightly and sighed, "Indeed, it''s a promise that''s hard to refuse..." Yan Shaozhe, as the Soul Power Department Dean, was cunning and decisive. Each of the four promises he made was extraordinary and highly strategic. He was concerned that Ling Bai might refuse Elder Xuan due to his two teachers, so he directly cited Tang San from ten thousand years ago to dispel Ling Bai''s concerns. He then tempted him with promises,monly known as "painting a pie." Sealed Douluo, full-body soul bones, ten-thousand-year-old soul rings, ten-thousand- year-old soul bones... Each promise was bigger than thest, and Shrek Academy''s ten-thousand-year reputation left Ling Bai with no reason to doubt! The most cunning of all was the fourth promise. Ling Bai was a disciple of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, and his teachers were likely also from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Initially, Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan had intended to separate Ling Bai from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, as who would want to share an heir? However, seeing Ling Bai''s outright refusal, Yan Shaozhe immediately changed his mind, emphasizing that Shrek Academy would not interfere with his rtionship with the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower to keep him on board. They would do whatever it took to retain Ling Bai. If someone asked Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan whether it was worth it, their answer would be, "Absolutely!" Shrek Academy''s influence was enormous, with both advantages and disadvantages. The Sun Moon Empire viewed it as a thorn in their side, and the Douluo Three Kingdoms also feared Shrek, subtly expressing their stance by not sending any direct royal descendants to study there in the past century. The Six-Winged Angel is the most talented godly soul in history. With Ling Bai as its guardian, Shrek''s prestigious status for the next three hundred years would be unshaken. More importantly, history has proven that the Six-Winged Angel can be stably inherited! Shrek Academy had produced three ultimate souls in the past, but their descendants did not inherit their ultimate attributes. Ma Xiaotao is a prime example. Ten thousand years ago, Phoenix Douluo Ma Hongjun''s soul evolved into a Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix, with phoenix mes reaching the pinnacle of fire. However, his direct descendant, Ma Xiaotao, still suffers from the torment of evil fire! Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan had pre-arranged that after Ling Bai became Elder Xuan''s disciple, the academy would gradually cultivate him into the Sea God Pavilion leader. They would then have Ma Xiaotao join forces with Ling Bai to use the sacred power to purge the phoenix evil fire while leaving the Six-Winged Angel''s bloodline in Shrek Academy! From then on, the Six-Winged Angel would be another hallmark of Shrek Academy! For the glory of the next ten thousand years, those brief sacrifices were nothing! "We hope you will seriously and thoroughly consider this." Yan Shaozhe said sincerely. Ling Bai did not give an answer but asked, "Elder Xuan, Dean, do you know who my teacher is?" "Old Zhou?" Elder Xuan believed that only Jianmu Douluo could make Ling Bai refuse him. "Yes." Ling Bai nodded. Yan Shaozhe frowned and said, "Although Jianmu Senior is powerful, he has a nt-type soul, and what he teaches may not be suitable for you. Shrek has produced countless soul masters over the past ten thousand years, including three ultimate souls. We can provide you with the best education and resources." "Dean is right, but I want to emphasize the efforts my teacher and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower have put into me over the years." A gentle breeze blew, stirring his golden hair. Ling Bai''s eyes were deep and calm: "Ten- thousand-year-old deep-sea devil whale gtin, ten-thousand-year-old magic soul great white shark oil, I''ve been eating them since I was little. Ten-thousand-year-old jade spirit fruit is my daily fruit, and my meals include arctic moonlight rice, ten-thousand-year-old earth dragon sinew, ten-thousand-year-old deep-sea lobster... the ingredients for my three meals a day are never repeated. "My body, soul power, and soul rings beyond the limit were all umted by the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower through resources. Moreover, after the battle with Poison Immortal, my teacher was left with a lingering illness. Despite the risk of his illness ring up, he insisted on forcefully refining the Ming Emperor Pill for me." "Ming Emperor Pill..." Just thinking about the materials needed to refine the Ming Emperor Pill made the usually frugal Yan Shaozhe wince. The Ming Emperor Pill, the main ingredient of which is the inner core of a ten-thousand- year-old light-type soul beast, supplemented by dozens of ten-thousand-year-old light- attribute medicinal treasures, is hailed as the continent''s top pill. Xuan Water Pill, Soul Ascension Pill, Soul Nourishing Pill, Xuanwu Divine Pill... Compared to the Ming Emperor Pill, these highly sought-after pills in the world were mere trifles! At the mention of the Ming Emperor Pill, Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe knew that Shrek Academy could notpete with the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Shrek had painted a pie, but the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had already fed the pie to Ling Bai! In gambling terms, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s actions could be described as an all-in bet. They had ced all their bets on Ling Bai, betting on his smooth growth and his loyalty to the sect when he came of age. Ling Bai decided to speak inly. He looked at Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe and said, "After the battle with Poison Immortal, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and the Main Body Sect became enemies. One must know how to repay kindness. If the two sects ever go to war, I will not abandon the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. "As far as I know, Shrek Academy does not participate in sect-to-sect battles. When the Tang Sect''s ten-thousand-year-old foundation was seized, Shrek did not intervene. Will you ept an heir who might one day fight to the death with the Main Body Sect?" Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan fell into a deep silence. The Main Body Sect was a super sect on par with Shrek''s Sea God Pavilion. Sacrificing the entire academy for Ling Bai was a losing proposition. "Let''s discuss the matter of discipleshipter." Yan Shaozhe broke the silence: "You can study at the academy with peace of mind. I haven''t decided on the reward for helping Xiaotaost night. How about this: I''ll give you a promise. Whenever you encounter difficulties, juste to me, and I''ll solve them." Yan Shaozhe had only meant to be polite, but Ling Bai immediately spoke up. "Dean, I want to change rooms." "Just that?" Yan Shaozhe said indifferently, "Choose any room on Sea God Ind." "Then, could you please arrange a room for me at the Golden Tree?" "Sure... wait!" Yan Shaozhe''s eyes nearly popped out of his sockets. "The Golden Tree!? Don''t be ridiculous!"

You want me to get you a room there?!" Yan Shaozhe said, his years of cultivatedposure shattered by Ling Bai. Golden Tree is an ancient tree that exudes light and life, located at the center of Sea God Ind. Without affecting the life essence of Golden Tree, the predecessors of Shrek Academy carved the Sea God Pavilion around this tree. Opening a room in Golden Tree is essentially the same as opening a room in the Sea God Pavilion, directly adding a neighbor to the elders of the Sea God Pavilion! Although Yan Shaozhe is the Dean of the Spirit Soul Department at Shrek Academy, the Sea God Pavilion holds a position of mere respect, and he has no such authority! Elder Xuan''s heart also sank. Not to mention Yan Shaozhe, even he had no right to bring Ling Bai into Golden Tree. In Shrek Academy, only the Lord of the Sea God Pavilion, Dragon God Douluo Muen, could make such a decision. "Dean, is it possible?" Ling Bai looked at Yan Shaozhe''s slightly distorted face. In fact, Jianmu Douluo had to pay a great price to refine the Ming Emperor Pill because when Ling Bai first killed a soul beast and drew blood, it triggered the evil nature of the Death Prison Spider Emperor. Jianmu Douluo found in ancient texts that only a Ming Emperor Pill refined from various light-attribute treasures could suppress it. With the Death Prison Spider Emperor awakening again, Jianmu Douluo''s body could no longer withstand the refinement of the Ming Emperor Pill. Following Ilex''s advice, he had to rely on the power of Golden Tree! "This..." Yan Shaozhe sighed deeply, being speechless for the first time in a hundred years. "I will help you request it from the Lord of the Sea God Pavilion, but I can''t guarantee sess." In the end, Yan Shaozhe decided to meet with Old Master Muen, not only for Golden Tree but also because the appearance of a Divine-Level Spirit Soul in the academy was a significant matter. Moreover, Ling Bai refused to be the sessor of Shrek, and the academy''s attitude towards him needed to be decided by Old Master Muen. "Thank you, Dean Yan." Ling Bai bowed to Yan Shaozhe, then turned to Elder Xuan and said apologetically, "I''m sorry, Elder Xuan, I cannot be your disciple." "Forget it, forget it." Elder Xuan waved his hand, took out a chicken leg, and mumbled, "This old man and you, little monster, have no karmic connection. Go back and rest early!" With that, Elder Xuan transformed into a beam of earth-yellow light and shot into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye. "Elder Xuan will probably be upset for a while," Yan Shaozhe said with a helpless smile. "It''s a rare encounter with a genius qualified to inherit the mantle, and someone else has already taken the lead." Ling Bai smiled but said nothing, feeling that any words now would sound insincere. "Train well in the academy in the future, don''t waste your talent. I''ll go and ask the Pavilion Lord for you." Yan Shaozhe encouraged Ling Bai a few times and then headed to the center of Sea God Ind. Sea God Ind has many buildings, but only one can be called towering: the Sea God Pavilion. The Sea God Pavilion has three floors above ground, each exceeding ten meters in height. It is the most important ce in Shrek Academy, hiding many unknown secrets, including some supreme treasures. Yan Shaozhended in front of the Sea God Pavilion''s main gate, walked upstairs, and reached the top floor. The top floor is the Lord of the Sea God Pavilion''s room, where the light power of Golden Tree is the most concentrated. He knocked lightly on the door, counted silently for three seconds, and then pushed it open. The Lord of the Sea God Pavilion''s room was very simple, with a wooden bed, a wooden table, and a wooden reclining chair ced in the innermost corner. The area where the reclining chair was located was very dim, and a figure seemed to be lying on it.N?v(el)B\\jnn "Teacher." Yan Shaozhe bowed towards the reclining chair. "No need for formalities, Shaozhe. What brings you here?" A gentle voice, indistinguishable in age, sounded from the reclining chair in the shadows, giving a feeling of cleansing the mind. Yan Shaozhe straightened his posture, his eyes filled with pure admiration. The Lord of the Sea God Pavilion, a 99th-level Limit Douluo, one of the ck and White Twin Saint Dragons, all these were his teacher, Dragon God Douluo Muen, whose name resounded across the Douluo Continent. His lifelong wish was to be a person like Old Master Muen, but he always fell short. He said: "Teacher, a Six-Winged Angel has appeared in the academy. He..." Yan Shaozhe briefly exined the matter to Old Master Muen, emphasizing Ling Bai''s talent, age, and his rtionship with Jianmu Douluo and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. "So the childst night was Jiren''s personal disciple." Old Master Muen''s voice carried a hint of amusement. Jianmu Douluo Zhou Jiren, the -continent''s top nt-type soul master, was an old friend he had known for a hundred years. "Teacher, what do you think should be done with Ling Bai?" Yan Shaozhe asked tentatively. "Tell me your thoughts." Old Master Muen threw the question back, intending to test his senior disciple. Yan Shaozhe thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Teacher, I maintain my original intention and hope to incorporate Ling Bai into our Shrek Academy. His monstrous talent,bined with the academy''s resource tilt, will surely make him within twenty years and a Limit Douluo within fifty years! A Six-Winged Angel Limit Douluo means invincibility, invincibility in the world!" Yan Shaozhe''s face flushed with excitement, his fists clenching unconsciously. He said passionately, "The Sun Moon Empire is developing too rapidly. As long as the Six-Winged Angel is around in the future, the Sun Moon Empire and the Mingde Hall will be nothing to fear, and Shrek Academy''s glory willst at least three hundred years! If his child inherits the angelic bloodline, Shrek... Will be worry-free for ten thousand years!" "Sigh, you... When will you broaden your horizons?" Yan Shaozhe was puzzled, "Teacher?" Old Master Muen shook his head and sighed, "Shrek Academy does not care about its own glory, as it is a ce to cultivate soul masters, standing on the side of the Douluo Continent, maintaining absolute neutrality in the conflicts between the three empires and various sects. I ask you, where is the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower?" "Tianhun Empire..." Yan Shaozhe seemed to understand a bit. "Exactly. Ling Bai is a disciple of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, a genius of the Douluo Continent. Whether he bes the Lord of the Sea God Pavilion or a guardian Douluo of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, if the Sun Moon Empire dares to invade the Douluo Continent, do you think he will help them? Broaden your horizons, and you''ll find that things are so simple. As for Golden Tree..." Old Master Muen''s eyelids lifted slightly, and he said slowly, "If he wants toe, let him e..." Yan Shaozhe was surprised. He indeed had a narrow perspective, but Old Master Muen''s was too broad. Golden Tree and the Sea God Pavilion were one, and Old Master Muen was letting an outsider stay there! Old Master Muen paused and continued, "Zhou Jiren has never followed the rules, only adhering to his heart. When the Main Body Sect brothers wreaked havoc in the world, all the major sects tried to avoid them. The first time we faced the Main Body Sect, the academy suffered a significant loss. It wasn''t until Jianmu Douluo Zhou Jiren stepped in, single-handedly blocking Poison Unkible, that we finally overcame the Main Body Sect and forced them to swear an oath. I and the academy owe him a favor. Now, his personal disciple has a request. The academy shouldply."

The academy and Jianmu Douluo have such a deep connection." Yan Shaozhe understood. The great battle between Shrek Academy and the Main Body Sect was a story from the previous era. At that time, he was young and not very powerful, so he was not privy to the internal secrets. "Just now, you said that the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and Zhou Jiren have bet everything on Ling Bai, right..." Elder Mu suddenly asked. "Yes, teacher." Yan Shaozhe smiled bitterly, "I have to admit, even the academy couldn''t have done more than the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Just the Ming Emperor Pill, with a ten-thousand-year-old light-type soul beast''s inner core as the main ingredient, is something no one in the entire Shrek Academy can refine. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower is simply crazy. Ling Bai is just a child who hasn''t grown up yet!" Yan Shaozhe couldn''t understand why the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was in such a hurry. "They are crazy..." Elder Mu agreed with Yan Shaozhe''s somewhat exaggerated words, and the old face hidden in the darkness couldn''t help but reveal a hint of sorrow: "The actions of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower have already indicated one thing, Zhou Jiren... His time is running out!" Yan Shaozhe''s expression froze, and he hesitated, "Do you mean Jianmu Douluo''s lifespan is up? That''s impossible. Although nt-type soul masters generally have lowerbat capabilities than other soul masters, they are known for their longevity. Jianmu Douluo is a senior from your era. Even if his cultivation is not as profound as yours, he shouldn''t leave so soon." "What you say is not without reason." Elder Mu sighed, "But you forgot one thing. After the great battle with Du Bi Si, I was left with a broken spine and could never walk upright again. How much better could Zhou Jiren be, who fought Du Bi Si alone? The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and the Main Body Sect are both in the Tianhun Empire, and the pressure they face..." Elder Mu''s words were not finished, but Yan Shaozhe instantly understood. When the Main Body Sect emerged with great confidence, intending to sweep across the Douluo Continent and establish their dominance, they were ultimately forced to swear an oath. Who did they hate the most? Shrek Academy''s Dragon God Douluo Muen! The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s Jianmu Douluo Zhou Jiren! The former, backed by Shrek Academy and the Sea God Pavilion, which is no less powerful than the Main Body Sect, has educated countless strong souls over the millennia. If the Main Body Sect insisted on a life-and-death struggle with Shrek, those strong souls would inevitably intervene, and the Main Body Sect would surely suffer. Zhou Jiren and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower are rtively easier to deal with. Both sects are in the Tianhun Empire, and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, as an auxiliary sect, relies heavily on external contributions for itsbat power. The Main Body Sect has countless ways to target the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. It''s no exaggeration to say that if Jianmu Douluo Zhou Jiren were to pass away in the morning, Du Bi Si could lead a group of strong souls from the Main Body Sect to wipe out the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower by noon! They wouldn''t wait even half an hour! "No wonder... no wonder... no wonder..." Yan Shaozhe repeated "no wonder" three times. Compared to Shrek Academy, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower is the sect that desperately needs a Six-Winged Angel Douluo to sit in residence! "Good that you understand." Elder Mu said, "Ling Bai''s room in the Golden Tree is next to Bei Bei''s. They are about the same age, so they can support each other in the future." There are over a thousand students in the inner and outer courts of Shrek Academy, but only two have rooms in the Golden Tree. The first is the inner court''s senior sister Zhang Lexuan, who is exceptionally talented and of excellent character. She is a pre-determined candidate for the Sea God Pavilion, and the entire Sea God Pavilion council has unanimously approved the early establishment of a room for her to help her break through to the Douluo rank using the Golden Tree''s abundant light energy. The second is Bei Bei from the outer court, who benefited from Elder Mu''s influence. As a direct descendant of Elder Mu, Bei Bei grew up on Sea God Ind, watched over by the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. They turned a blind eye to him living in the Golden Tree. Ever since he started dating Tang Ya, Bei Bei rarely returned to Sea God Ind and mostly stayed in the outer court dormitory.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om No one is perfect, and Elder Mu had a private motive in arranging Ling Bai''s room next to Bei Bei''s. He hoped that the two could be like himself and Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao -both the best of friends and the best of rivals. A Divine-Level Spirit Soul, having a connection with Bei Bei and Ling Bai would certainly not be a bad thing. "Yes, teacher." Yan Shaozhe agreed to everything. Elder Mu lowered his eyes, looking somewhat tired, and said, "That''s all. Go back if you have no other business." Yan Shaozhe bowed and quietly left the room. After leaving the Sea God Pavilion, he looked back in the direction of Elder Mu and muttered, "Teacher, you are right. My vision can never reach half of yours. Shrek Academy is a transcendent existence above the three great empires and must have a sufficiently powerful Sea God Pavilion head in residence. Jianmu Douluo''s lifespan ising to an end, and so is yours. I know I cannot take your ce, and neither can Elder Xuan. Therefore, the academy needs an heir! I will use my methods to keep him in Shrek..." Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Mu turned over and smiled helplessly, "Silly child, when will you be moreposed..." ... The next morning, Ling Bai woke up early from his meditation, put on the red uniform of the Shrek inner court, and "climbed mountains and crossed rivers" to the cafeteria to order a free breakfast. With Uncle Mo''s repeated "Is it enough, child?" he sessfully ate double the portion. Standing at the cafeteria door, Ling Bai couldn''t help but fall into deep thought. It seemed that the cafeteria uncle being too enthusiastic wasn''t a good thing either! Yesterday, Han Ruoru took him on a tour of Sea God Ind. He had experienced the Soul Duel Arena and the Simted Training Ground, and nced at the teaching buildings but found no interesting courses. "Let''s go to the Inner Academy Library." After some thought, Ling Bai decided on a destination. The Shrek Inner Academy Library houses a vast collection of books, many of which are unique to the continent. Perhaps he could find useful references there. The Inner Academy Library has two floors, with oak bookshelves nearly reaching the ceiling, filled with genuine and valuable knowledge, the crystallization of human history. It was quiet, unexpectedly quiet, with no one in the library. Ling Bai was surprised, "Do Shrek students and teachers not read books?" He recalled the university library from his previous life, where books were used to hold seats, but at least people had a learning attitude. Shrek, not so much! Ling Bai wandered through the rows of bookshelves but, to his regret, did not find the books he was looking for on the first floor. He slowly climbed the stairs, nning to check the second floor. A momentter, he reached a door made of rosewood. The door frame was equipped with a Soul Conductor ess System, indicating that the second floor was a restricted area requiring certain permissions. Ling Bai took out his school emblem and gently pressed it against the system. "I''m sorry, your permissions are insufficient." A clear and pleasant but somewhat familiar female voice spoke with unusual coldness. "...Alright." Ling Bai withdrew his school emblem and turned to leave. At that moment, arge ck book, carrying a faint, elegant fragrance,nded in Ling Bai''s hands. A woman''s rxed and slightly teasing voice echoed in his ears, "Hold it for me, don''t drop it on the ground."

For a moment, he didn''t recognize who she was, and a jumbled scene shed before his eyes. In the White-Gold Crystal Hall, the woman stood in front of him, gazing at him with her golden six wings fluttering gracefully, a faint smile on her red lips. "Senior Sister, why are you here too?" Ling Bai steadied the book and temporarily pushed the sudden image out of his mind. "Compared to why I''m here, I''m more curious why you''re standing at the door like a fool." Han Ruoru''s clear and beautiful face was like a lotus emerging from water, her red school uniform with a cinched waist entuating her graceful figure. "I came to read a bit, but I found out my ess level isn''t high enough." Ling Bai said helplessly. Who knew that Shrek Academy had installed a Soul Conductor ess System on the second floor of the Library, preventing freshmen like him from even entering. "Want to go in?" Han Ruoru tilted her head, and Ling Bai noticed her slightly swaying silver earrings and a mischievous smile he had never seen before. "Since I''m already here." Ling Bai quoted a ssic line. Han Ruoru was instantly convinced: "That''s true, since you''re already here, it would be a waste not to go in and take a look. Come on, Senior Sister will take you!" Han Ruoru swiped her school badge on the Soul Conductor ess System, and a pleasant voice sounded: "Student Han Ruoru, you have Inner Academy Library Red-Level Reading Permission. Wee to the second-floor Restricted Book Area for borrowing and research. Please note, every page of paper is a precious asset of the entire continent. Please cherish and protect all books in this area." Han Ruoru pushed open the heavy pear blossom wood door, and a sense of ancient history enveloped them. The pure wooden decor of the second floor gave their faces a deep brown, wooden texture. "This voice..." Ling Bai seemed to understand: "It''s yours, Senior Sister?" "Correct, but no reward." Han Ruoru made a small joke, "In the past, the second-floor restricted area had a teacher in charge, but after the Soul Conductor Department developed the ess system, the Library became an unattended area. Most students in the academy only care about practicalbat. Compared to the simted training area and the Soul Arena, the Library is the ce everyone is least willing to visit. When recording the voice messages, the only person the academy could find was me." Han Ruoru continued: "I always believe that books record the experiences of our predecessors and their blessings to future generations. Whether ordinary people or soul masters, they should never stop learning until the day they die. But every time I mention this, I see a look of disdain on their faces, and I really don''t like it. I haven''t seen anyone else in the Library for a long time, except for you, little junior brother." Han Ruoru''s eyes sparkled. On the way to the Inner Academy earlier, she had subtly hoped that Ling Bai would visit the Library more often, and he didn''t disappoint her. "Reading enriches the mind and benefits the eyes and the soul." Ling Bai stepped past Han Ruoru and walked toward the rows of wooden bookshelves. "Though I haven''t read as much as Senior Sister, I will keep reading." Han Ruoru paused, her bright eyes curving into a charming smile: "If everyone were like you, little junior brother, I believe the development of the academy''s students would be much moreprehensive." "Senior Sister, you can''t force people to read." Ling Bai browsed through the book titles, responding casually. "True, even Yue Xuan couldn''t resist. She once advised me that soul masters should learn everything they need to know in the Outer Academy. As Inner Academy students, we should focus more on enhancing our Soul Power and immerse ourselves in practicalbat." Han Ruoru walked opposite Ling Bai, separated by a row of bookshelves, their shadows intertwining through the gaps between the books. "Senior Sister is a bit too decisive. There are many things in books that are worth soul masters studying. Six years in the Outer Academy are far from enough to understand the entire soul master world," Ling Bai said frankly. In his previous life, there were many people who couldn''t understand mathematics in twelve years, so it was unreasonable to expect students to learn everything a soul master should know in just six years in the Outer Academy. Han Ruoru covered her mouth with a smile: "You can only say this to me. Don''t talk about it outside, or it might not be good if Yue Xuan finds out." "Alright, I''ll listen to Senior Sister." Ling Bai pulled out a pure ck book from the shelf, its thicknessparable to fivebined volumes of the Xinhua Dictionary. He found a window-side spot on the second floor and sat down. Unlike Ling Bai, who only took one book, Han Ruoru carried a stack of books that towered higher than her head. She sat opposite Ling Bai and ced the ''book tower'' beside her with a dull thud. After the thud, the Library fell into a long silence. They were both smart people, understanding the art of giving each other space. Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating their hair like golden threads, reminiscent of precious silk. After an unknown amount of time, Ling Bai straightened his slightly sore back and his gaze fell on Han Ruoru, who was still immersed in her book, her hand supporting her snow-white chin. From Ling Bai''s angle, he could see her long neck and corbone, the white and pink hues like intricately painted peonies, with a few strands of hair like stamens, and green veins extending downward into her clothing. Library, morning, sunlight, senior sister... He suddenly thought that if this were in his previous university, it might be the ce where a couple first fell in love. Ling Bai smiled and continued flipping through the pages. A few minutester, Han Ruoru lifted her hand to brush away a strand of hair that had fallen on her nose, her gaze following it. The fair and clean face of the boy opposite her was unreasonably handsome, the fragmented sunlight falling into his golden eyes, warm and serene. After a while, seeing that Ling Bai was still on the same page, Han Ruoru couldn''t help but speak softly: "Little junior brother, is there something you don''t understand? Do you want me to take a look?" "Hmm?" Ling Bai looked up, his golden eyes meeting Han Ruoru''s concerned gaze. He thought for a moment, nodded, and closed the book, allowing Han Ruoru to see the sixrge words on the ck cover. "Chronicles of the Continent''s Evil Soul Masters." Han Ruoru''s eyebrows furrowed. The Chronicles of the Continent''s Evil Soul Masters recorded the lives of many Evil Soul Masters over the millennia, including the heinous deeds theymitted. Shrek Academy kept it to teach students about the evil and terror of Evil Soul Masters, fostering a sense of righteousness in their lifelong battle against them.N?v(el)B\\jnn "Little junior brother, is there something you don''t understand?" Han Ruoru asked hesitantly. The Chronicles of the Continent''s Evil Soul Masters was more like a biography, not a difficult, heavy tome. Ling Bai shouldn''t have trouble understanding it. "Senior Sister, are we enemies with all Evil Soul Masters, right?" "Of course!" Han Ruoru''s tone was resolute. She had been in the Inner Academy for many years and had encountered Evil Soul Masters during her monitoring duties, witnessing their cruelty and viciousness. She had no sympathy for any Evil Soul Master. "Then, Senior Sister..." Ling Bai patted the ck book and said: "If you were to awaken an Evil Spirit Soul, what would you choose?"

You can also join the Geriatric Trantions Community on Discord to connect with other readers: https://discord.gg/NSWvfN7vua "How would I choose?" Han Ruoru picked up a thick book and lightly tapped Ling Bai''s head, looking at him helplessly. "What kind of question is this? I''m not an Evil Soul Master!" "Alright..." Ling Bai smiled, but his smilecked warmth. He had been reading this book to find out if anyone in history had sessfully removed the evil nature from an Evil Spirit Soul. If there were any, he could try to learn from them. After all, he couldn''t put all his eggs in one basket. Compared to the Death Prison Spider Emperor''s Raksha Evil Power, Ma Xiaotao''s Phoenix Evil Fire was insignificant. If Ilex was also at a loss, it would be troublesome. "Don''t smile like that, it''s too cold. If you want to know how I would choose, I''ll tell you." Han Ruoru tapped Ling Bai''s head a few more times, looking straight into his eyes with determination. "If I awakened an Evil Spirit Soul, it would mean fate has given me the right to choose to fall. But I also have the right to refuse to fall. I would spend my entire life fighting against the Evil Spirit Soul. As long as I don''t betray my soul, even with an Evil Spirit Soul, I will always be a clean person." "Mm-hm." Ling Bai nodded slowly. He, too, was unwilling to fall. Otherwise, with the Death Prison Spider Emperor''s blood soul, he might have already broken through to level 70 if he had killed without restraint. "Let''s go, I''ll treat you to a meal, Senior Sister." Han Ruoru stood up, putting a stack of books she hadn''t finished reading and Ling Bai''s *Chronicles of the Continent''s Evil Soul Masters* into her silver earring, which was her storage Soul Conductor Device. She walked ahead, leaving Ling Bai behind, clearly a bit upset that he was reading this "evil book." "Senior Sister, let me treat you." Ling Bai followed with a bitter smile. He could provoke her, but he could also endure it. And since Han Ruoru was willing to take him out for a meal, she couldn''t be too angry. The two walked out of the library, and a cool breeze greeted them, refreshing without being cold. The vast Sea God Lake shimmered under the sunlight, draped in a golden hue, and the waves rhythmicallypped against the shore. Ling Bai walked beside Han Ruoru, ncing over and noticing that she was in a better mood, her lips curved into a gentle and warm smile, as if she had already forgotten her earlier displeasure. Indeed, Han Ruoru simply didn''t want Ling Bai to waste his thoughts on what to do if he awakened an Evil Spirit Soul. She still liked this little junior brother very much. Today was one of the happiest days she had had in recent years. Zhang Lexuan, Wu Ming, Hua Yao... all her bookpanions had "abandoned" her. It had been far too long since anyone had apanied her to the library. While reading alone in the historic library was a beautiful experience, Han Ruoru preferred thepany. "Luochen, Luochen, open the door!" A pleading voice came from ahead. Ling Bai and Han Ruoru looked over to see a dark, muscr man bent over, knocking on a door, carrying a bunch of misceneous items. "Hm?" Ling Bai leaned back slightly and asked Han Ruoru, "Is that Ling Luochen''s ce? Is this guy... pursuing Ling Luochen?" "You guessed right. The guy is Qian Fufu, the adopted son of Soul Conductor Department Deputy Dean Qian Duoduo. He fell in love with Ling Luochen at first sight and has been pursuing her for the past two years." Han Ruoru''s expression was a bit odd. "But the things he''s carrying... how to put it... quite... um..." Han Ruoru couldn''t find the right word, so Ling Bai quietly finished her sentence for her: "Quite creative." "Yes, quite creative." Han Ruoru agreed, finding it very fitting. Arge red rose bouquet with baby''s breath, a rose gold Soul Conductor Cannon, and a matching Soul Conductor Propulsion Device... Ling Bai wasn''t close to Ling Luochen and didn''t know what she liked, but sending a Shrek Academy Soul Conductor Device to a Wu Soul System student... he was asking for a beating! Ling Bai and Han Ruoru walked openly, making no effort to hide. Qian Fufu naturally noticed them and quickly hid the roses and Soul Conductor Device behind his back, whistling and looking up at the sky, trying to act as if he hadn''t done anything. "Little junior brother, let''s hurry up and go." Han Ruoru was amused by Qian Fufu. "Sure." Ling Bai didn''t have the cruel interest in watching strangers make fools of themselves and quickened his pace with Han Ruoru. As they walked away, Qian Fufu heaved a sigh of relief and continued knocking on the door, pitifully saying, "Luochen, open the door, I made this Soul Conductor Device specially for you!" "Get lost!" Ling Luochen''s cold voice echoed from inside, and a chill swept through the door crack, instantly freezing the once vibrant roses, much like Qian Fufu''s heart. He nced at the still closed door, sighed deeply, and left dejectedly. "Senior Sister, this doesn''t seem like the way to the cafeteria, does it?" A few minutes after passing Ling Luochen''s ce, Ling Bai suddenly spoke. He was a freshman, but that didn''t make him directionally challenged! They were almost at the edge of Sea God Ind! "Who told you we were going to the cafeteria?" Han Ruoru asked, puzzled. Ling Bai blinked. "Eating... not going to the cafeteria?" "Senior Sister said she would treat you to a meal. How can I treat you if the Inner Academy cafeteria is free?" Han Ruoru poked Ling Bai''s head. "Of course, we''re going to Shrek Academy City!" Ling Bai straightened his head. "Shrek Academy City? I was too busy on the way here and haven''t had the chance to explore this city, which rivals the capital of the empire."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "I''ll take you for a walk." Han Ruoru smiled. "Many students focus solely on their cultivation and never visit Shrek Academy City, even until graduation. Senior Sister doesn''t want you to have any regrets." "Then I''ll have to trouble Senior Sister to be my guide again." "Sure thing." In terms of prosperity, Shrek Academy City was unparalleled in the entire Douluo Continent. The city was bustling with vendors selling all sorts of goods, and the streets were crowded with people. "Crispy chicken wings, free if you don''t like them!" "Zhang''s soup buns, thin skin,rge filling, plenty of juice, delicious,e and try!" "Candied haws, just one copper coin per skewer! Students, try some!" The sounds of vendors calling out to customers never ceased. At street corners, various performers and entertainers gathered crowds of adults and children. Enthusiastic shop assistants tried to lure customers inside with ttery and sweet talk. The streets were filled with Outer Academy students in various Shrek Academy uniforms, enjoying the food during their free time. Many vendors had gathered in Shrek Academy City to cater to the students. As Ling Bai and Han Ruoru walked by, the Outer Academy students, who already considered themselves quite impressive, made way for them, recognizing their blood-red Inner Academy uniforms. In Shrek Academy City, Inner Academy students were at the top. Everyone made way for them, but Ling Bai and Han Ruoru weren''t arrogant. They smiled and nodded politely to the Outer Academy students who greeted them. Every student who saw their smiles blushed with excitement, hoping to one day enter the Inner Academy. They bought quite a few things, mostly snacks. Han Ruoru kept her word and didn''t let Ling Bai spend a single copper soul coin. Initially, Ling Bai wanted to return the favor, but Han Ruoru, with her far superior Soul Power, firmly held his hand down. After a few times, Ling Bai decided not to embarrass himself and happily enjoyed the treats provided by his senior sister. After an hour of wandering through Shrek Academy City and tasting various delicious snacks, they gradually slowed down, looking for a proper restaurant for lunch. The Little Elephant Noodle Shop. A small restaurant caught their attention, not because of its name, but because of a blue crystal ball on a table next to the door. "Azure Crystal," Ling Bai said. "It originates from the Sun Moon Continent, a rare metal with good Soul Power conductivity. Due to its fragilitypared to other metals, it''s not suitable for making offensive Soul Conductor Devices, but it''s often used to make Soul Power testers." "Oh?" Han Ruoru walked over and noticed a line of small text under the crystal ball. "This crystal ball can disy your Soul Power in numbers, and that''s all. As human beings, we should first be kind, then honest, and only then focus on cultivating our Soul Power."

You can also join the Geriatric Trantions Community on Discord to connect with other readers: https://discord.gg/NSWvfN7vua "The Noodle Shop owner is quite an interesting person." Han Ruoru, holding the Crystal Ball, smiled after reading it carefully. "Quite different from the usual mindset." Ling Bai also read the text and felt quite moved. Shrek City, the headquarters of the continent''s top academy, Shrek Academy, is mostly popted by Soul Masters who are Shrek students. Shrek Academy has a strict elimination system, and everyone works day and night to cultivate their Soul Power. Even the slightest progress is valuable, yet this owner is telling the students that kindness and honesty are far more important than Soul Power. Ling Bai noticed Han Ruoru''s interest and said, "Senior Female ssmate, let''s eat here." "Mm." Han Ruoru put down the Crystal Ball and walked into the Noodle Shop with Ling Bai. The Noodle Shop was not veryrge but was very clean. As soon as they entered, they could see the kitchen behind the ss door, where a middle-aged auntie in an apron was busy. There were six long rectangr tables inside, capable of seating up to thirty people. Four tables were already upied, with people slurping their noodles loudly. The temperature outside was not high, but as they entered the shop, the warmth and the aroma of meat instantly enveloped them, making them feelfortable.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "What a nice smell." Han Ruoru took a deep breath of the aroma, confirming that they had made the right choice. "Hello, please take a seat and rest for a moment." Seeing the guests, the auntie hurried out from behind the ss door. She looked to be in her forties, plump, and very kind. Ling Bai and Han Ruoru walked to an empty table, the one closest to the kitchen. "What would you like to eat?" The auntie handed them two menus and asked with a smile. Ling Bai nced at the menu, which mainly featured noodles and rice bowls, along with some simple stir-fried dishes, all simple and home-style. "A bowl of Beef Noodles and a te of Soy Sauce Meat." "I''ll just have a bowl of Tonkotsu Ramen." Ling Bai and Han Ruoru ordered their meals. "Alright." The auntie nodded. "Beef Noodles and Tonkotsu Ramen are six copper soul coins each, and Soy Sauce Meat is five copper soul coins, making a total of seventeen copper soul coins." Han Ruoru took out a gold soul coin to pay. In Shrek City, where every inch ofnd is precious, this Noodle Shop was one of the cheapest. One gold soul coin equals ten silver soul coins, which equals one hundred copper soul coins. As the auntie looked for change, Han Ruoru asked: "Auntie, are you a Soul Master?" The auntie smiled and shook her head. "No, I''m just an ordinary person." "Then why did you write those words next to the Soul Power testing ball at the entrance?" Hearing Han Ruoru''s question, Ling Bai also looked at her curiously. "Because I feel you all are too tired." The auntie handed the change to Han Ruoru, her kind face softening even more. "The food at the Shrek Academy''s outer courtyard canteen is quite expensive, so some studentse to my shop for a meal. They are always very anxious, rushing in and out. The auntie knew the academy''s strict elimination system, but cultivation has no limits. Soul Power doesn''t represent your character, aspirations, or sense of responsibility. For us ordinary people, a kind and honest Soul Master is more admirable than one with deep Soul Power." A hint of nostalgia appeared in Han Ruoru''s eyes. She recalled the days in the outer courtyard, the freshmenpetitions, runningps on the yground, and the promotion exams... Those days were hectic, and under the teachers'' urging, everyone seemed to be busy shuttling between sses, the canteen, and the dormitories, focusing solely on cultivating their Soul Power and forgetting that to be a qualified Soul Master, one must first be a qualified person. Ling Bai hadn''t studied in the outer courtyard, but he had a good idea. The inner courtyard of Shrek Academy was like a university in his previous life, where liberalism prevailed, while the outer courtyard used strict rules to spur students'' growth, sometimes neglecting moral education, leading to the actions of people like Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin being off-putting at times. "Senior Female ssmate, if time could be reversed, would you go back to the outer courtyard to study again?" Ling Bai, resting his arm, asked casually while waiting for their food. "No." Han Ruoru firmly refused. She only missed the time she spent studying with Zhang Lexuan and Wu Ming. If she had to go back and study in the outer courtyard again... No way, she couldn''t bear it! The beef and pork bones were already marinated. After a short while, the auntie brought out two steaming bowls of noodles, a te of Soy Sauce Meat, and two small dishes of stir-fried vegetables. Each bowl of noodles also had a marinated egg. Ling Bai and Han Ruoru were both surprised. They hadn''t ordered the vegetables or the marinated eggs! "Auntie?" The auntie understood their confusion, looked at their red school uniforms, and exined, "You''re Shrek Academy students, right? My son also started at Shrek Academy this year. You''re all ssmates, so consider this my treat, no charge!" "This..." Ling Bai and Han Ruoru felt a bit embarrassed. The Noodle Shop''s prices were already low, and now with the extra marinated eggs and vegetables, the auntie might be losing money. "Enjoy your meal while it''s hot. If you need more, Auntie will add it for you!" The auntie turned and walked back into the kitchen, continuing her work. Ling Bai didn''t like owing people, even for simple vegetables and eggs, but he felt he owed her. Han Ruoru felt the same and decided to ask about the auntie''s son, thinking she could help him outter. The noodles exuded a rich beef aroma, and the broth was golden. Ling Bai could see the diced beef, which was tender and fell apart with a light touch of his chopsticks. The rich beef vor,bined with the savory broth, was perfectly bnced by the noodles. Eating it made them feel warm andfortable. The noodles were chewy and stic, and the light, fresh side dishes made the meal even more delicious. Han Ruoru took a bite and was also impressed. She even thought that in terms of taste, the auntie''s skills were not inferior to Uncle Mo''s, who used soul beast meat and rare ingredients from all over! Just as the two were seriously considering whether to order another bowl, a figure pushed open the shop door, shouting: "Mom, I''m back for dinner!" The loud voice echoed in the small Noodle Shop, and everyone instinctively looked up, gasping in amazement. Ling Bai and Han Ruoru immediately stopped their chopsticks, both looking at the... lump of a person entering the door. Yes, a lump. The neer was 1.7 meters tall and 1.7 meters wide, a white, plump mountain of flesh, struggling to squeeze through the door with a simple, honest smile. "Huan Yue is back! Find a ce to sit, and I''ll cook you a bowl of noodles!" The auntie''s face was filled with a happy smile. Huan Yue... Xie Huan Yue? Ling Bai observed the neer''s physique and, recalling the Noodle Shop''s name, Xiao Xiang Noodle Shop, and the Pipi Elephant soul beast, he was almost certain. The auntie skillfully cooked the noodles, added beef, vegetables, eggs, and meat broth, and ten minutester, ced a bowl of noodles in front of Xie Huan Yue. "Huan Yue, your favorite Beef Noodles." Han Ruoru couldn''t help butugh at Xie Huan Yue''s bowl of Beef Noodles. It was too generous, with beef, pork bones,rge ribs, meatballs... steaming and fragrant. Ling Bai looked at his remaining two pieces of beef and suddenly found his Beef Noodles less appealing. "Junior Brother, you''re not getting the same treatment!" Han Ruoru whispered, her eyes curving into a beautiful crescent moon. Ling Bai said with a hint of jealousy, "Can Ipare to a son?" "It''s okay, you have a senior sister." Han Ruoru transferred the untouched marinated egg from her bowl to Ling Bai''s as a constion. Xie Huan Yue saw the two bantering but didn''t dare to speak up because the people in front of him were wearing the red school uniforms of the Shrek Academy''s inner courtyard! Forget about them, just eat the noodles! Oh, it''s so delicious! Half an hourter, Ling Bai and Han Ruoru left Xie Huan Yue''s Xiao Xiang Noodle Shop, chatting as they slowly walked back to Shrek Academy. As they passed the East City Gate, a tempting, rich aroma wafted into their nostrils. "Hey, what is that?" Han Ruoru''s nostrils twitched, searching for the source of the aroma. "Xiao Huo''s Grilled Fish?" Han Ruoru locked onto the target but hesitated when she thought about trying it. Ling Bai saw the familiar figure working hard at the grilled fish stall and smiled. "If you want to eat, let''s go." "I''ve already eaten a lot today. Isn''t it bad to eat grilled fish..." Hearing Han Ruoru''s words, Ling Bai asked seriously, "Senior Female ssmate, do you know what will appear on your face if you eat grilled fish often?" Han Ruoru thought carefully. "e?" "Wrong, it will bring a happy smile." With that, Ling Bai, without hesitation, pulled Han Ruoru''s white wrist and headed straight for Xiao Huo''s Grilled Fish, standing behind a girl in a Shrek Academy purple school uniform, with a well-proportioned figure and a rabbit ear headband...

On one side of the road, Tang Ya was setting up the Grilled Fish Stall with a series of "heave- ho"s, the colorful sign for Little Huo''s Grilled Fish glowing beside the grill. "Done! I''m such a little genius!" Tang Ya pped her hands, her slender waist entuated, her face beaming with excitement. "Yuhao, you can focus on setting up the stall after school every day. Get twenty Bluefish from the cafeteria auntie, and with the cost of charcoal and seasonings, each fish will cost about three Copper Soul Coins. So, you can sell them for five Copper Soul Coins each. The money you earn can cover your basic expenses without interfering too much with your cultivation time." "Thank you, Teacher Xiaoya!" Huo Yuhao''s eyes shimmered with tears. Since his mother, Huo Yun''er, passed away, Tang Ya had been the best person to him. She had helped him enter the continent''s top academy as a special student and now enabled him to support himself, so he wouldn''t have to worry about affording the food in the outer courtyard cafeteria. Huo Yuhao silently vowed to himself that he would help Tang Ya revitalize the Tang Sect! "It''s no big deal!" Tang Ya waved her hand, feigning nonchnce. "I''ll go for a walk. Remember to save me two grilled fish!" With that, she tossed a Silver Soul Coin and deftly slipped into the crowd, disappearing from Huo Yuhao''s sight. After watching Tang Ya leave, Huo Yuhao rolled up his sleeves and began the preparations for grilling fish. Having helped his mother with cooking since he was young, his culinary skills were excellent. He deftly scaled, gutted, cleaned, and marinated the fish in one smooth motion, then threw a few glowing coals into the grill. Little Huo''s Grilled Fish was officially open for business! The grill Tang Ya had brought wasn''t particrlyrge, allowing Huo Yuhao to cook four fish at a time. With the help of his Spirit Eye''s meticulous mental detection, his grilled fish skills were among the best on the entire Tang Sect Continent. Before long, the golden-brown Bluefish began to exude a lightyer of oil, and the rich, fragrant aroma of the grilled fish wafted through the air. This was the best form of advertising, and soon a crowd gathered at the Grilled Fish Stall. A Shrek Academy student in a yellow uniform couldn''t resist the temptation and bought a fish. As he took a bite, the slight crackling sound of his teeth meeting the fish indicated that the skin was perfectly crispy. After tasting it, he gave a big thumbs up and quickly devoured the fish in a few bites. Everyone was astute, and upon seeing this, they all understood. They lined up one after another, determined to get a grilled fish today! Huo Yuhao was delighted. He had initially been worried that his grilled fish wouldn''t be popr and that he would disappoint Tang Ya, but his concerns were unfounded. A long queue formed in front of Little Huo''s Grilled Fish. Huo Yuhao worked very diligently, knowing that quality was the key to a steady stream of customers. He didn''t dare to be careless. One grilled fish after another came out of the grill, and soon only four fish from thest batch remained. Huo Yuhao wiped the sweat from his forehead, wrapped up the two fish reserved for Tang Ya, and was almost done for the day. "Junior, how much for the grilled fish?" A soft female voice reached his ears. Huo Yuhao turned to see a stunningly beautiful girl standing before him. The moment he saw her face, Huo Yuhao was momentarily stunned. The most beautiful girls he had seen were Ning Tian and Tang Ya. The former exuded a regal and graceful aura, like a bright moon hanging in the sky, while thetter was pure and lively, like a free breeze blowing across the wilderness. This girl was different from both of them. She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender and well-proportioned figure. Her long hair cascaded inrge waves down her back, and she wore a rabbit ear headband. Her face was as smooth as jade, her beauty like a snow-covered tree, and her eyes were like clear pools of water, exuding a gentle and elegant demeanor. Especially her soft and tender expression, which evoked a sense of pity and a desire tofort her, made Huo Yuhao feel an urge to offer her sce. "Senior, the grilled fish is five Copper Soul Coins each."N?v(el)B\\jnn Though he was momentarily stunned, Huo Yuhao quickly regained hisposure and replied. "A bit expensive, isn''t it? Considering the cost and preparation, you could sell them for three Copper Soul Coins and still make a profit." The girl''s voice was as gentle and warm as her appearance, like a spring breeze rustling through willow branches. If not for her bargaining, Huo Yuhao might have beenpletely entranced. "Sorry, Senior, my grilled fish is non-negotiable." Huo Yuhao tried to remain calm. The price was set by Tang Ya, and he didn''t want to change it easily. Besides, he felt the price was fair; selling them for three Copper Soul Coins would leave him with nothing to eat. "Sorry, I was just calcting. I disturbed you, Junior. I''ll definitely try them next time." The stunning beauty hadn''t expected her usual sessful bargaining to fail. She smiled apologetically at Huo Yuhao and turned to leave. "Last two fish, little junior, we''re so lucky!" Behind her, a delighted female voice rang out. "Brat, you dare not sell?" At that moment, a deep and angry male voice suddenly boomed, and a golden light shot straight toward Huo Yuhao''s stall. "Ding-" The golden light hit the grill and embedded itself perfectly, revealing a Gold Soul Coin. A figure strode over, dressed in a ck Shrek Academy uniform, about the same age as the girl, tall and muscr, with thick eyebrows, tiger-like eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth, his face still retaining a hint of baby fat. He quickly passed the stunning beauty and reached Huo Yuhao''s stall, reaching for the grilled fish on the grill. The girl was so angry that her rabbit ears on her head stood up. "Xu Sanshi, what are you doing!" Xu Sanshi had long learned to selectively ignore the girl''s scolding. Huo Yuhao rushed over to stop him but was dodged with a quick move. Xu Sanshi picked up the two fish with a grin. "Nannan, I''m buying you some grilled fish!" Suddenly, Xu Sanshi felt someone grab the back of his cor and lift him up bit by bit. He tried to use his soul power to resist but found itpletely dissolved, unable to move a single bit. "Who! What are you doing!" Xu Sanshi was panic-stricken, iling his arms and legs in the air like a drowning person struggling to save himself. He turned his head and saw a handsome face that made him break out in a cold sweat. "B-b-brother!" Xu Sanshi wanted to cry but couldn''t, and his body went limp, resigned to his fate. "Hey, it''s you, kid." Ling Bai smiled amiably. "You''ve got some guts, trying to take from me." Hearing this, Xu Sanshi''s heart sank. One word: doomed!

"B-Big Brother, is there a possibility that this is just a misunderstanding?" He tried to save himself by appealing to "Facing Death." "Is that so?" Ling Bai calmly took the Grilled Fish from Xu San Shi''s tightly clenched hand and handed it to Han Ruoru. After tossing a Golden Soul Coin to Huo Yuhao, he looked at Xu San Shi with a leisurely expression. "I''ll give you three sentences to argue your case. You''d better pray you can convince me, or we''ll settle all old and new grudges together. Whatever Soul Skill Ma Xiaotao used on me, your rear will experience it in full." Ling Bai''s teeth itched every time he remembered Xu San Shi''s earth-shaking and ghost- crying cries in the middle of the night. If not for his disturbance, he wouldn''t have had to spend the whole night in a battle of wits with Ma Xiaotao. Xu San Shi, one of the Twin Stars of the Outer Court, was lifted into the air by the younger- looking Red-Clothed Inner Court Student, who grabbed him by the back of his shirt, threatening to make his rear bloom. The surrounding Shrek Academy Outer Court students were as quiet as quails, not daring to say a word, let alone breathe loudly, for fear that Ling Bai''s free left hand would seize their fate by the back of their necks. As the other victim, Huo Yuhao''s eyes shed with a hint of satisfaction at Xu San Shi''s predicament. Although Xu San Shi had paid ten times the price, his act of forcibly taking the Grilled Fish had angered him. Regardless of Ling Bai''s motives, Huo Yuhao was genuinely grateful to him. Han Ruoru nibbled on the Grilled Fish, her eyes twinkling with amusement. She knew Ling Bai had a good grasp of the situation and would not go too far. She also approved of Ling Bai giving Xu San Shi a lesson to prevent him from bullying the weak again. Hearing this, Xu San Shi was taken aback and blurted out, "Ah? Only three sentences?" "Now it''s two." Ling Bai patted Xu San Shi''s head with a smile that seemed kind and benevolent but filled Xu San Shi with a deep-seated fear for his rear. "Big Brother, I was wrong!" In the face of crisis, Xu San Shi''s brain went into overdrive. Since he had cut in line to snatch Ling Bai''s Grilled Fish, stubbornly insisting on his innocence would only result in a severely damaged rear. So, he quickly admitted his mistake. "I know."N?v(el)B\\jnn Ling Bai''s face and tone were expressionless, leaving Xu San Shipletely in the dark about his thoughts. His brain CPU burned furiously as Xu San Shi realized that his next sentence was hisst chance. If he couldn''t move Ling Bai, the Ten Thousand des Radiance would ensure his main ount was permanently unblocked! "Big Brother, I..." Facing Ling Bai''s deep gaze, Xu San Shi''s voice trembled so much he could barely speak. In a sh of inspiration, he blurted out: "I''llpensate you!" "Oh? With what?" Feeling that there was a chance, Xu San Shi slid his hand over the storage soul conductor at his waist and took out a crystal-clear white jade bottle, smiling ingratiatingly. "Big Brother, this is the Xuan Water Pill, a unique medicine of our Xuanming Sect. Bothst night and today were my fault. Consider this a small token of my apology!" Ling Bai popped open the bottle cap, revealing a deep blue pill the size of a cherry inside, with many white patterns crisscrossing its surface. A faint mist surrounded the pill, and a fresh, invigorating aroma wafted out, refreshing the senses. "Not bad. Let''s call it even." Feeling Ling Bai''s grip loosen, Xu San Shi breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could rejoice, Ling Bai suddenly changed the subject: "But you disturbed my Senior Female Fellow Disciple''s mood, sigh..." His voice trailed off, and he disyed a look of difficulty. "Senior Female Fellow Disciple?!" Xu San Shi nced at Han Ruoru, who was focused on tasting Huo Yuhao''s Grilled Fish, and his facial muscles twitched. Clenching his teeth, he offered another Xuan Water Pill. "That was costly." Having extorted two Xuan Water Pills, Ling Bai smiled in satisfaction. Not only did he release Xu San Shi, but he also kindly dusted off the dirt on his shoulders. "Oh, I can''t bear it, Big Brother!" Xu San Shi, showing his flexibility, smiled obsequiously. "Big Brother saved me from the fire that night. Two Xuan Water Pills are nothing. Big Brother and Senior Sister, please have a safe journey!" In reality, he grumbled inwardly: "Bad luck, Spend Money to Avoid Disaster!" "Then for bullying my little junior brother/apprentice, how many Xuan Water Pills should youpensate?" Just as Ling Bai and Han Ruoru were about to leave, two angry voices joined in, and a man and a woman pushed through the crowd. Their faces were cold and furious, and they were none other than Bei Bei and Tang Ya. Bei Bei got straight to the point. "Xu San Shi, you bullied my little junior brother. You need to give me an exnation!" Xu San Shi frowned and pointed at Huo Yuhao. "Is this kid from your Tang Sect?" "My newly recruited apprentice!" Tang Ya, always protective of her juniors, sneered. "Xu San Shi, to take by force in broad daylight, how shameless can you be?" "I paid for it!" Xu San Shi retorted. Bei Beiughed derisively. "Enough talk. Hand over a Xuan Water Pill, or we''ll settle this on the Soul Duel Arena!" Xu San Shi pouted. "Fine, let''s go!" Having seen Ling Bai''s terrifying power and been forced to back down, he was not afraid of Bei Bei, one of the Twin Stars of the Outer Court. He was not intimidated by the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus! With that, Xu San Shi approached Jiang Nan Nan, who had remained silent the whole time, his expression softening. "Nan Nan, I''m going to the Soul Duel Arena with Bei Bei. Will youe and cheer me on?" "Why should I?" Jiang Nan Nan took a step back, her icy tone almost freezing people into ice sculptures. Despite this, Xu San Shi continued to press his luck, moving closer and whining, "It''s all for you, Nan Nan! I was cheated out of two Xuan Water Pills for the Grilled Fish, and now I have to fight Bei Bei. Nan Nan, can you bear it?" "You deserve it. Don''t bother me!" Jiang Nan Nan showed no mercy, her long hair flicking as she left Xu San Shi with a graceful back view. "Nan Nan, no!!!" Xu San Shi howled to the sky, as if a snowstorm were descending upon him. "You''re making a scene. Hurry up and go!" Bei Bei grabbed Xu San Shi and dragged him to the Soul Duel Arena. Behind them, Tang Ya led Huo Yuhao to thank Ling Bai. "Ling Bai, if not for you and Senior Sister upholding justice today, Huo Yuhao''s Grilled Fish would have been forcibly taken by Xu San Shi!" Huo Yuhao''s hands were tightly sped together, and he stammered, "T-Thank you, L-Ling Brother." He had always been wary of Ling Bai and had deliberately avoided him on their way to Shrek Academy. He never expected that Ling Bai woulde to his aid in a crisis. Ling Bai and Han Ruoru exchanged a smile and said calmly, "It''s a small matter, no need to be so polite. Come along, let''s watch their Soul Duel."

You can also join the Geriatric Trantions Community on Discord to connect with other readers: https://discord.gg/NSWvfN7vua On the way to the outer courtyard''s Soul Dueling Arena, Ling Bai handed Han Ruoru a white jade vial, saying: "Senior Sister, Xuan Water Pill." Han Ruoru smiled, but firmly pushed Ling Bai''s hand back. "No need, little junior brother. The Xuan Water Pill is indeed precious, but it''s only effective for young Soul Masters whose cultivation is still shallow and whose abilities haven''t fully formed. I''ve already broken through to Soul Saint. You should give it to someone who needs it more." "This..." Ling Bai naturally understood the principle of sharing with those who meet. Given his current understanding of Han Ruoru, if she said no, she meant it. In the end, he had to take back the Xuan Water Pill and said: "Next time you visit Shrek City, I must treat you, Senior Sister." Han Ruoru crossed her slender hands behind her back, feeling the moist evening breeze caress her cheeks. She said softly, "Alright, I''ll follow your lead, Senior Sister." Not far away, Huo Yuhao, hearing the two of them talking without any attempt to hide it, lowered his voice and asked Tang Ya: "Teacher Xiaoya, what is the Xuan Water Pill? Is it very rare?" "The Xuan Water Pill is worth a fortune," Tang Ya replied, startling Huo Yuhao with her first sentence. His brain raced, calcting that he sold twenty grilled fish a day, with a cost of three copper soul coins and a selling price of five copper soul coins,ting him forty copper soul coins a day. ording to the exchange rate on the Douluo Continent, 1 gold soul coin equals 100 copper soul coins, so ten thousand gold soul coins... He would need to go without food or drink for sixty-eight years! At this thought, Huo Yuhao felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Tang Ya, not noticing her young disciple''s emotional turmoil, continued: "Xu San Shies from the Xuanming Sect of the Dueling Spirit Empire, the only ce in the entire continent where they can refine the Xuan Water Pill. It is said that the refining process requires the essence blood of over a dozen water-type Spirit Beasts and dozens of water-type nts, all carefully blended to form the pill. The Xuan Water Pill has a very mild nature, and any type of Soul Master can absorb its power well. For Soul Masters below level twenty, taking it will at least increase their soul power by one level. However, its most precious quality is its ability to cleanse internal impurities and perform Sinew Cleansing and Marrow Washing. For Soul Masters with excellent innate talent, taking the Xuan Water Pill is like adding flowers to brocade. For someone like Ling Bai, who has an innate soul power of twenty, the effect is minimal. But for Soul Masters with ordinary talent like you and me, it is like sending coal in the snow. The Sinew Cleansing and Marrow Washing effect of the Xuan Water Pill is equivalent to raising a Soul Master''s innate soul power by one level. If a Soul Master''s innate soul power is only one level at the time of their soul awakening, taking the Xuan Water Pill will raise it to two levels, which is a transformation of talent and the essence of the Soul Master!" "What!" Huo Yuhao''s eyes immediately lit up. His innate soul power was only one level! His cultivation path had been extremely difficult over the years. His finer and even somewhat blocked meridians made his cultivation speed extremely slow. It took him five whole years to advance from level one to level ten, and that was just the starting point for Soul Masters with full innate soul power! Raising innate soul power is a fundamental change. If he could use the Xuan Water Pill to perform Sinew Cleansing and Marrow Washing, his cultivation speed would at least triple! "Teacher Xiaoya, I..." Huo Yuhao stammered. "No need to say more," Tang Ya ced her slender index finger to her lips and whispered, "Based on my understanding of Bei Bei, he must have already found a way to trick Xu San Shi. Little Yuhao, just wait for the Xuan Water Pill!" "Senior Brother..." Tears welled up in Huo Yuhao''s eyes, and he quickly blinked to keep them from spilling over. Due to the immense fame of the outer courtyard''s twin stars and the announcement made by the Shrek Academy through the soul conductor amplifiers in the dormitory area, Bei Bei and Xu San Shi''s soul duel attracted the attention of many students, regardless of their cultivation level. They encountered students from all grades, from white to yellow, purple, and ck, along the way. Seeing the red school uniforms of Ling Bai and Han Ruoru, the outer courtyard students immediately showed respect, automatically clearing a wide path for them and looking at them with starry-eyed admiration. "Brother Bai!" A clear and melodious voice reached their ears. Ling Bai turned to see two girls in white school uniforms sprinting toward them from a few hundred meters away.N?v(el)B\\jnn "Xiao Tian, Wu Feng?" Ling Bai stopped, and Han Ruoru, standing beside him, seemed to realize that these two were the disciples of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower who entered the school with Ling Bai. Ning Tian ran up to Ling Bai. As an auxiliary-type Soul Master with rtively weak physical strength, she was slightly out of breath, her slightly curved chest rising and falling, and her beautiful face flushed, causing Wu Feng, who was close behind her, to feel a pang of concern and re at Ling Bai. Ling Bai ignored Wu Feng''s fiery gaze, gently patted Ning Tian''s back to help her catch her breath, and smiled, saying, "Why did you run so fast? I''ve been here all along." Ning Tian''s breathing gradually steadied. She looked into Ling Bai''s smiling golden eyes and said, "A day without seeing you feels like three autumns. I was afraid you might forget us after two days." At the same time, she nced at the gentle and graceful Han Ruoru as if it were a casual look, but it was clearly intentional. Apart from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s patriarch, no one in the world understood Ning Tian better than Ling Bai. He immediately took Ning Tian''s hand and pulled Wu Feng by the sleeve, introducing them: "Inner Courtyard, Senior Sister Han Ruoru. Outer Courtyard freshmen, Ning Tian, Wu Feng." "Hello, Senior Sister!" Ning Tian subtly intertwined her fingers with Ling Bai''s and greeted Han Ruoru obediently. Wu Feng, reluctantly, mumbled a greeting. "Hello." Han Ruoru looked at Ning Tian and Wu Feng, her gaze lingering on their intertwined hands, and a faint smile curved her lips. Ning Tian, being only eleven years old, her im of ownership was too obvious. Han Ruoru easily saw her possessiveness and nervousness, as if she was afraid Han Ruoru would take Ling Bai away. "Little junior brother, I''m very happy today, so I won''t disturb you. I''ll go back to Sea God Ind to rest." Han Ruoru left to avoid causing any misunderstandings. She understood how much auxiliary sects like the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower valued external talents, and she guessed that Ning Tian had already chosen Ling Bai as her protector, or future husband. Once Han Ruoru''s figure disappeared from sight, Ning Tian''s tightly clenched fist slowly rxed. She couldn''t me herck of security. She and Ling Bai were young and had not yet established a marriage agreement. Now, with Ling Bai in the inner courtyard and her in the outer courtyard, they couldn''t spend every day together to further their rtionship. The inner courtyard was not short of excellent women with good looks, talent, and background, all in their prime. Ning Tian had heard that men easily fall in love with the first mature woman who teaches them what it means to be a man. If Ling Bai were seduced by a bad woman, Ning Tian would break down in tears. "Brother Bai, how are you doing in the inner courtyard? Have the older students targeted you?" Ning Tian asked with concern. "Everything is going well. How about you two?" "Wu Feng and I were assigned to the same ss and the same dormitory. Teacher Mujin, our homeroom teacher, seems strict in ss, but she is very caring to us in private. A typical tough-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside type." Ling Bai nodded slightly. Compared to the entric Teacher Zhou Yi, who would expel students for the slightest provocation, Teacher Mujin was apetent teacher. "And Ning Tian is the ss president!" Wu Feng looked proud, then cleared her throat and added, "I''m the vice president!" "What? You''re the vice president?" Ling Bai sucked in a breath. "Your ss is doomed." "...Ling Bai, I''ll shark you!!!" In the soul dueling area, the rest room. As soon as they entered, Xu San Shi couldn''t wait to say, "On the way, I saw Tang Ya and that inner courtyard big brother chatting. Do you know him?" Contrary to their public disy of animosity, the outer courtyard''s twin stars were actually very good friends. Bei Bei red at Xu San Shi. "What big brother? Ling Bai is three years younger than you." "What!" Xu San Shi was stunned. "Then he''s the same age as this year''s freshmen!" Bei Bei nodded. "That''s right. Xiaoya broke through to level thirty before the start of the semester. While hunting soul rings in the Star Dou Great Forest, we met a group from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, led by Ling Bai. We traveled together from there. San Shi, Ling Bai''s talent far surpasses both of ours. Don''t bear a grudge over today''s matter, or you''ll definitely suffer." Bei Bei briefly exined how they met and didn''t forget to warn Xu San Shi. "I wouldn''t dare hate him!" Xu San Shi shrank back, like a frightened turtle retracting into its shell. "Do you remember Ma Xiaotao, who helps me with my evil fire?" "Phoenix Soul Emperor, you alwaysin about how heavy-handed she is." Xu San Shi pointed to his eyes and exaggeratedly said, "The other night, I saw Ling Bai pinning Ma Xiaotao down and beating her! A Soul Master beating a Soul Emperor, it''s like the world has turned upside down!" "But..." Xu San Shi grinned, "I guess we''re connected now. If I can get the big brother''s favor with two Xuan Water Pills, I''ll be in the ck!" Bei Bei covered his face. He knew Xu San Shi was shameless, but he didn''t expect him to call Ling Bai ''big brother'' so shamelessly. "You haven''t settled your ount with the Tang Sect yet. Hurry up, give me a Xuan Water Pill!" Bei Bei extended a hand. As Tang Ya had guessed, the moment he saw Xu San Shi give Ling Bai a Xuan Water Pill, he started thinking about his junior brother Huo Yuhao. "Do you think Xuan Water Pills are a flea market!" Xu San Shi was speechless. Was ining'' written on his forehead? Why was everyone extorting him today! Bei Bei raised an eyebrow. "One thing at a time. You bullied my junior brother, shouldn''t youpensate?" "I''ll pay two hundred gold soul coins and eat his grilled fish for a year." Bei Bei felt a headache. Xu San Shi was very shrewd and wouldn''t fall for his big trick. Huo Yuhao''s talent desperately needed the Xuan Water Pill to improve. After some thought, he had an idea and said: "I won''t take advantage of you. Let''s settle it with a soul duel. If you win, I won''t pursue this matter. If you lose, the Xuan Water Pill is mine." Xu San Shi smacked his lips and extended a finger. "One more condition. Tang Ya and Nan Nan are good friends. If I win, have her invite Nan Nan to the city gate. I want to give her a surprise." "... You really like Jiang Nan Nan, don''t you?" Bei Bei teased. Although Jiang Nan Nan was known as the outer courtyard''s top beauty, Xu San Shi''s background, appearance, and talent were all top-notch. Bei Bei found it strange why Xu San Shi was so fixated on Jiang Nan Nan. Xu San Shi''s face turned red, and he pretended to be angry. "Hurry up, will you agree or not?" "It''s a deal." Bei Bei hoped his good friend Xu San Shi would eventually win the beauty, and decided to help him with Tang Ya. ... In the outer courtyard''s soul dueling arena, in the audience seats. After paying the viewing fee, the five of them found a seat. Ling Bai and Huo Yuhao, the two boys, sat in the middle, with Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Tang Ya on either side. As soon as they sat down, Wu Fengined, "Is Shrek Academy crazy for money? They charge a silver soul coin just to watch a soul duel!" Huo Yuhao agreed. It took him five grilled fish to earn a silver soul coin. If not for the generous Ning Tian, he would never spend money to watch a duel. Ning Tian leaned her head lightly on Ling Bai, her fingers tracing circles around his wrist, and smiled. "The academy is a big institution with various facilities that require maintenance. The soul arena houses many Spirit Beasts, and the daily expenses are substantial. Charging a fee is understandable." Ling Bai didn''t speak, silently tucking a few strands of Ning Tian''s white-gold hair behind her ear. The scent of her hair wafted around his nose, and he looked around the outer courtyard''s soul dueling arena. The overallyout was simr to the inner courtyard''s soul dueling arena, with the only significant difference being the audience seats. Considering the muchrger number of outer courtyard students, the outer courtyard''s soul dueling arena had two thousand seats. As the two major figures in the outer courtyard, Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Bei Bei and Mystic Turtle Shield Xu San Shi''s every duel was thrilling. The arena was quickly filling up, with at least a thousand studentsing to watch. This scene made Huo Yuhao a bit nervous, and he whispered, "Teacher Xiaoya, can Senior Brother win?" "Not necessarily," Tang Ya shook her head. "Xu San Shi has a top-tier defensive beast soul, the Mystic Turtle Shield, known as the outer courtyard''s best defense. He and Bei Bei, the outer courtyard''s best attacker, are equally matched. Their past duels have been evenly split." "This..." Huo Yuhao''s eyes flickered with a hint of hesitation, his gaze shifting between the soul duelists'' entrance, Ling Bai, and Tang Ya, as if he was considering something. "Please, both contestants enter the arena!" As the referee shouted, Bei Bei and Xu San Shi stepped out from either side, and the noisy arena instantly fell silent. Everyone''s eyes were fixed on the two of them, afraid to miss a moment of the action. "Fourth-year Bei Bei versus fifth-year Xu San Shi, the match begins!" The referee quickly retreated, giving Bei Bei and Xu San Shi the entire arena. Both released their soul beasts at the same time. Blue light gathered, and Bei Bei''s right arm rapidly swelled, surrounded by countless electric sparks. The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus soul beast was attached to his body, with two yellow and one purple soul rings ascending and descending around his dragon-like right arm. Xu San Shi was not to be outdone, his body swelling to the point of straining his school uniform. The pitch-ck Mystic Turtle Shield appeared, also with the optimalbination of two yellow and one purple soul rings. The two slowly took steps to the side, their sharp gazes locked on each other. Intense soul power rose, the blue and ck colors, the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus and the Mystic Turtle Shield, clearly distinct. "Hmm?" Suddenly, Ling Bai frowned. He sensed a faint spiritual force, a special fluctuation that inevitably urred when releasing a spiritual soul skill. He turned his head and, sure enough, saw that Huo Yuhao''s originally deep blue eyes were now tinged with a faint gold! The first soul skill of the Spirit Eye, Mental Detection Sharing! Huo Yuhao wanted to use the stealth of his spiritual attribute to help Bei Bei win against Xu San Shi. He could hide it from the referee, who was far away, but how could he hide it from Ling Bai, who was right next to him! "Boom-" "Ah!!!" Huo Yuhao cried out in pain, feeling as if his spiritual sea was being torn apart by a beam of golden light. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, in its dying state, suddenly sat up, looking around in confusion, trying to repair the damage. In the next second, Huo Yuhao met a pair of sharp, ring golden eyes, and a low, cold voice followed: "Huo Yuhao, are you... cheating?"

In the original story, Huo Yuhao had cheated at least in front of familiar faces like Patriarch Tang Ya and his roommate Wang Dong. So what did it mean for him to brazenly cheat right in front of Ling Bai now? Do you think we''re both scoundrels?N?v(el)B\\jnn Do you think I would naturally cover for you? "I..." Huo Yuhao''s facial muscles tightened. Compared to the vicious servants in the White Tiger Duke''s Manor who only roared and cursed, the pressure Ling Bai brought was undoubtedly terrifying, like a mountain copsing and the sea swallowing everything. Just sitting there, Ling Bai seemed like a bottomless ck well that could swallow you whole, skin and bones. Huo Yuhao only met Ling Bai''s golden eyes for a second, but it felt like he was being pierced by a sharp sword. Compared to his usual calm andposed demeanor, Ling Bai now radiated a sharp, cutting edge. "Bah!" Wu Feng spat fiercely, her eyes filled with disdain for Huo Yuhao. She, who was usually pampered, had never liked Huo Yuhao much, and now she felt nothing but contempt for him. Ning Tian remainedposed. While Wu Feng could speak her mind without restraint, Ning Tian could not, as her every word and action represented the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Huo Yuhao was a disciple of the Tang Sect, and the thousand-year friendship between the two sects required her to maintain a surface-level friendliness. "Xiao Yu Hao, you..." Tang Ya was flustered. If this incident became public, Huo Yuhao''s reputation would plummet. Huo Yuhao endured the pain from his Spirit Eye and Spirit Sea, and said painfully, "Teacher Xiao Ya, I wanted to help Master Brother win. And Brother Ling, Xu San Shi took your roasted fish. By helping Master Brother win, I was also avenging you!" Before using Mental Detection Sharing, Huo Yuhao had considered the possibility of being discovered by Ling Bai. He thought Ling Bai would tacitly ept it because,pared to Xu San Shi, Ling Bai would naturally favor Bei Bei. Huo Yuhao racked his brains but could not figure out why Ling Bai had intervened. The beautiful evening glow dyed the sky red. Ling Bai''s golden eyes now held a coldness, and he said, "Help? You really live up to the name of a proficient trantor..." Ling Bai gazed at Huo Yuhao, hoping to see a hint of remorse in his eyes. Unfortunately, all he saw was determination and doubt. "Huo Yuhao, the grudges between Xu San Shi and me are settled. You have no right to ''avenge'' me. Bei Bei and Xu San Shi are having a fair duel, and it''s not your ce to interfere and break the rules. Talent isn''t everything, and a low soul power isn''t a big deal. These can bepensated for with good fortune. But if a person has no sense of shame, then they are truly beyond saving. Even a rat has a skin, but a man without manners. Huo Yuhao, between ability and face, you should at least keep one for yourself." They looked at each other, but all that remained was disappointment. Ling Bai gave a final nce at Huo Yuhao, who was clenching his teeth, and Tang Ya, whose face was flushed with shame. He shook his head and said, "Wu Feng, Ning Tian, there''s no need to stay and watch. Let''s go." "Okay." Ling Bai stood up first, followed by Ning Tian and Wu Feng, and the three of them left the Soul Duel Arena. Standing on the wide avenue of Shrek Academy, Ling Bai looked toward the southwestern direction, where the night lights of Shrek City reflected in his clear golden eyes, shimmering like the brilliant stars in the sky. "Brother Bai, are you angry?" Ning Tian tugged at Ling Bai''s sleeve, asking cautiously. Before Ling Bai could respond, Wu Feng gave a serious piece of advice, "Brother Bai, it''s not worth getting angry over trash. My suggestion is to go out and find something good to eat." Bang! A dull thud followed, and Wu Feng instantly cried out in pain, crouching down and clutching her head. Ling Bai blew on his fist and turned his head, saying, "No respect, calling me ''Brother Bai.'' But you did say something right this time. Huo Yuhao''s petty affairs aren''t worth worrying about. I rarely see him in the Inner Academy, and you two might run into him from time to time. Just treat him like a stranger from now on." Ning Tian nodded slightly. She had once considered whether to show Huo Yuhao some favor due to the Tang Sect''s face, but now it was unnecessary. "By the way, Xiao Tian, how''s the mission the Sect Master gave youing along?" Ling Bai remembered an important matter. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s inherited martial soul, the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower, was known as the best auxiliary martial soul, but it had nobat capability and relied heavily on powerful external soul masters for protection. Was there any ce in the Douluo Continent where one could more easily meet outstanding soul masters than Shrek Academy? The answer was no. Therefore, each generation of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower sent their direct disciples to Shrek Academy to train themselves and to recruit young geniuses early, providing future protectors for the sect. As the young master of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, Ning Tian naturally took on this arduous task. Mentioning the matter, Ning Tian immediately put on a serious face and recounted, "Brother Bai, over the past two days, I''ve been inquiring about the martial souls and soul power of the students in various sses. I found that the overall talent is much stronger than in my mother''s generation. Besides me, there are already two geniuses who have broken the thirtieth level of soul power at the age of eleven! I''ve only managed to recruit one student with a rtively ordinary background, a female soul master with the Jade Greenbird martial soul, Nanmen Yun''er." "Hm, have you started approaching the two soul emperors?" Ling Bai asked. "I''m about to. One of them, Dai Huabin,es from the Star Luo Empire''s White Tiger Duke''s Manor, so there''s no way our sect can attract him. The other, a defensive soul emperor with the Papi Elephant martial soul, Xie Huan Yue, I can try my best to recruit!" Ling Bai pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "Xiao Tian, I''ll tell you about a few people. They are the more talented students of this year''s intake, and they should be your main targets. Xiao Xiao with the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, Xie Huan Yue with the Papi Elephant, the long-haired twins Lan Susu and Lan Luolu, Zhong Cao Jinxuan with the Time Flows On, Zhou Sichen with the Treasure Manual, Cui Yajie with the Nine-Tailed Fox, and Huang Chutian with the Mighty God Ape." Ning Tian silently memorized their names, but then she noticed that someone she had expected to be on the list was missing. She asked curiously, "Brother Bai, there''s a genius student in the first-year ss with the Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul, Wang Dong. I was thinking..." "No, you''re not!" Ling Bai instantly extended two fingers in an OK sign and pinched her lips, unusually serious, "That guy is a descendant of the Hao Tian Sect. You must stay away from him!" The daughter of the Tang Divine King! Only Huo Yuhao could survive such entanglements, and Ling Bai absolutely could not let Ning Tian get involved in this mess! "Okay, okay!" Ning Tian nodded rapidly like a pecking chicken. Seeing this, Ling Bai quickly released her before Wu Feng could pounce and bite him, and he handed her two white jade bottles. "Xuan Water Pill. Use it to recruit external geniuses. Give one to Xie Huan Yue. Students with ordinary backgrounds but extraordinary talent are very suitable for the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower." "Alright." Ning Tian immediately agreed. A mere Xuan Water Pill, worth only ten thousand Golden Soul Coins, was nothing to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. They always bought them by the box! Eat freely! Give freely! (End of Chapter) Chapter 43: Chapter 43: The Seven Monsters Challenge (Part 1) Chapter 43: The Seven Monsters Challenge (Part 1) ?

Compared to the Outer Academy students, who are like unpolished jade requiring time and effort to shape, the Inner Academy students, who have already honed their skills and possess even greater talent, were more desirable to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Ling Bai smiled wryly upon hearing this. "You''re more daring than I am. There are fewer than a hundred Inner Academy students, each one a one-in-a-million genius on the continent. The Three Great Empires, various sects, and even Shrek Academy itself... so many forces are eyeing these prime targets.N?v(el)B\\jnn Little Tian, you don''t need to worry about the Inner Academy. If there''s a chance to recruit them, I won''t let it slip. Just focus on your Outer Academy tasks." "Alright." Ning Tian''s face lit up with a bright smile after receiving Ling Bai''s promise. As the sky grew darker, they bid each other goodnight, and the three of them parted ways, each returning to their dormitories. Ling Bai crossed the Sea God Lake and returned to his small house, sitting on the wooden bed and immersing himself in meditation,pletely unaffected by the Huo Yuhao incident. Wrong is wrong. What if he''s the protagonist? If he truly feared the protagonist''s aura, Ling Bai wouldn''t have hooked up with Ilex and taken the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm''s remains in the Star Dou Great Forest back then. He never believed in the concept of a chosen one, only in the power of human effort. ... A ray of morning light filtered through the window, casting a golden glow on Ling Bai''s slender figure. With each breath, waves of golden Soul Power rose like steam and gradually merged back into Ling Bai''s body. "Knock, knock, knock!" The door was suddenly knocked on, and Ling Bai instantly snapped out of his meditation. He got out of bed and opened the door, only to be greeted by a burst of rich fragrance and a fiery, beautiful face. "Ma Xiaotao?" Ling Bai wasn''t particrly eager to see this beautiful neighbor, unsure when this Inner Academy volcano might erupt. "What''s up?" Ling Bai asked. "Elder Xuan has summoned us to the Soul Duel Arena," Ma Xiaotao said, her lips parting in a brief, headless sentence that left Ling Bai momentarily stunned before he smiled helplessly. To be honest, he didn''t want to see the Chicken Leg Douluo either, always feeling that the old man had ulterior motives. However, one had to bow to the roof, and the two of them spread their radiant golden Angel Wings and fiery red Phoenix Wings, flying toward the Inner Academy Soul Duel Arena. When Ling Bainded in the Soul Duel Arena, he was surprised to see two clearly divided groups, including some familiar faces. Dugu Lin, Chu Qingtian, Tai Xing, Pan Tao, and Zhou Sen, the new Inner Academy students who had entered with him, were already standing on one side, waiting. Seeing Ling Bai, Dugu Lin winked at him, her eyes sparkling with mischief. On the other side stood seven people in neat rows, all wearing the Inner Academy''s blood-red uniforms. They looked to be in theirte teens, each one full of energy and radiating a powerful aura. Ling Bai recognized two of them: the ice element user Ling Luochen and Qian Duoduo''s adopted son, Qian Fufu. Seeing Chu Qingtian and the others who had arrived earlier standing straight and asionally looking at the seven with admiration and excitement, he seemed to have guessed their identities. In stark contrast to the restrained Inner Academy neers, Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao were much more rxed, especially thetter, who couldn''t stop eyeing the dual-eyed youth at the front, her face openly challenging. Elder Xuan scanned the room and nodded. "Everyone is here, so let''s get straight to the point! In a year, the new session of the Continent-Wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Duel Tournament will officially begin. You are all Inner Academy students, intelligent and perceptive, so I''m sure you can guess each other''s identities!" Pausing for a second, Elder Xuan turned to Ling Bai and the others, his voice deep and solemn. "That''s right, standing opposite you are the students under twenty years old who represent Shrek Academy''s strongestbat force-the Shrek Seven Monsters! It is they who have repeatedly upheld Shrek Academy''s glory, spreading the tales of the continent''s top academy across thend!" Shrek Seven Monsters! A name that has echoed for ten thousand years! A synonym for monsters! Chu Qingtian and the others instantly ignited, realizing they were about to get a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity, a chance to be one of the Shrek Seven Monsters! After speaking, Elder Xuan turned to the seven selected students and said: "In thest tournament, you were just the reserve team. Now, you are the provisional Shrek Seven Monsters. You, who have been through the tournament, should understand that every member of the Shrek Seven Monsters, from the captain to the support, is the best in their ss of Soul Masters! Don''t think you''re safe yet, kids! Those who lost to you during the reserve team selection are now back with a burning desire to challenge you again after five years, bing your strongest opponents on the path to bing the Seven Monsters! I give you six months to prepare. In six months, the Seven Monsters Challenge will officially begin. The winners will be the true Shrek Seven Monsters and represent the academy in this year''s Soul Master Tournament!" As soon as he finished speaking, the air was filled with intense battle spirit. The fourteen people locked eyes with their opponents, their auras rising, and the Soul Power in the air surged wildly, as if a ck dragon was rising from the Soul Duel Arena, soaring into the sky! "Excellent! This is exactly the fighting spirit I wanted to see!" Elder Xuanughed heartily, savoring his chicken leg and wine with great pleasure. "I know you''re eager, but don''t be too hasty. I haven''t told you the rules of the Seven Monsters Challenge yet." "Another team battle?" The powerful gori Tai Xing couldn''t help but ask. The bitter defeat in the team battle selection had left a deep scar in his heart, and even yearster, the memory still stung. He often woke up in the middle of the night, wondering if he could have been a part of the reserve team if he had formed a strong team faster. "How could it be?" Elder Xuan poured cold water on Tai Xing, instantly quelling half of his fighting spirit. He scratched his head, confused. "Elder Xuan, we''re seven against seven, perfect, right?" Elder Xuan smacked Tai Xing on the head with a chicken bone, making him stagger a step, and said with exasperation: "Do you think this is about selecting the reserve team? How can the official Shrek Seven Monsters be chosen so casually?" Tearing off a piece of chicken, Elder Xuan muttered, "To avoid the factor of luck, you can forget about a seven-on-seven team battle." Imagine Ling Bai + Ma Xiaotao + Dugu Lin. They could easily win with four weaker teammates, but the Soul Master Tournament isn''t just about team battles. There are also individual matches, two-on-two, and other formats. If the weaker teammates perform poorly, it will still tarnish Shrek''s reputation! Elder Xuan continued, "The rules of the Seven Monsters Challenge are simr to a tournament. The official Shrek Seven Monsters will act as the main challengers, with one-on- one and two-on-two modes. The two-on-two mode is only open to support-type Soul Masters! To avoid excessive repetition of the same type of Soul Master, one-on-one challengers must be of the same cultivation type as the main challenger. That means Control Type vs. Control Type, Power Attack Type vs. Power Attack Type, Agile Attack Type vs. Agile Attack Type, and Soul Master Tutor with no restrictions, allowing anyone to challenge the Soul Master Tutor..." PS: Ma Xiaotao has never participated in a Soul Master Tournament and was not part of Dai Yueheng''s reserve team. She reced a Soul Master Tutor after controlling the Evil Fire, as noted in the original novel''s screenshot. (Scheduled update at 9:00 AM, hoping I can wake up to post the screenshot.) The unfortunate Soul Master Tutor not mentioned in the original novel is set as Qian Duoduo''s adopted son, Qian Fufu.

Ling Bai rubbed his chin, as if he hade to a realization: "The academy is afraid the Soul Master Tutor won''t be eliminated?" Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao beside him snorted coldly and said lightly, "Don''t forget, Shrek Academy is the continent''s top Soul Master academy! The Shrek Seven Monsters can do without anyone else, but they can certainly do without a Soul Master Tutor!" Ma Xiaotao emphasized the words "Soul Master," and even a fool could tell she was strongly targeting the Soul Master Tutor. Ling Bai smiled meaningfully. He was toozy to analyze the pros and cons with Ma Xiaotao. Shrek Academy had suffered too little. Once they lost a couple of teeth to soul conductors, they would know pain and naturally start to value the development of soul conductors. "Does anyone have any questions about the rules?" After Elder Xuan introduced the rules of the Seven Monsters Challenge, he asked loudly. Everyone answered in unison that they had no questions. Elder Xuan nodded in satisfaction. At least this year, they all seemed to be smart. He continued: "The official Shrek Seven Monsters will step forward one by one to introduce themselves, so the challengers can understand their martial souls, soul power, and cultivation directions, making it easier for them to choose their challenge targets! Dai Yueheng, you go first!" "Yes, Elder Xuan." The student Elder Xuan called out was a tall and muscr male student with a rugged and hard-edged face. He had a pair of demonic eyes and spoke in a deep voice, "Dai Yueheng, martial soul White Tiger, Level 61 Strong-Attack Soul Emperor, current captain of the Shrek Seven Monsters. Wee to challenge me!" As he finished speaking, his demonic eyes fixed on Ma Xiaotao, who stood with her arms crossed. The two seemed to be sparking with a fierce battle intent. After Dai Yueheng, another male student stepped forward. He wasn''t as muscr as Dai Yueheng but was tall and slender, forcing a slightly strained smile, "Chen Zifeng, martial soul Soul-Chasing Sword, Level 54 Strong-Attack Soul King." Chen Zifeng''s forced smile had a simple reason: among the official Shrek Seven Monsters, only he and Dai Yueheng were strong-attack Soul Masters. He believed his strength was far inferior to Dai Yueheng''s, and among the challengers, Ma Xiaotao had a formidable reputation. The Fiery Evil Phoenix was a top-tier strong-attack beast martial soul! The Inner Academy Volcano not only represented a fiery temper but also the potential to cause destruction on a massive scale! For the team''s overall strength, Ma Xiaotao might not challenge Dai Yueheng and would likely choose between him and the Soul Master Tutor. Chen Zifeng silently prayed: Big sister, choose him, not me! Choose him, not me! The third student was a female disciple. Unlike Dai and Chen, she had a neat short haircut, an ordinary figure, and a in face. She was the type of person who would be hard to find in a -crowd. "Xi Xi, Level 53 Agile-Attack Soul King, martial soul Lightning Leopard." Like Chen Zifeng, her introduction was simple. Xi Xi seemed to drift by like a leaf in the wind, leaving little impression, her ordinariness was astonishing. However, this ordinary person made another agile-attack Soul Master, Chu Qingtian, break out in a cold sweat. What is the role of an agile-attack Soul Master? Assassination! Ambush! Like an assassin lurking in the dark, striking the throat and back with a fatal blow! Clearly, Xi Xi had grasped the essence of an agile-attack Soul Master. Her ordinariness was her perfect camouge. When she broke her disguise and revealed the fangs of her Lightning Leopard, the prey would be doomed! After Xi Xi finished speaking, another female student stepped forward. She had a cold and aloof demeanor, a delicate and icy face, in stark contrast to the ordinary Xi Xi beside her. Her skin was very pale, and she walked as if weightless. "Ling Luochen, martial soul Ice Element, Level 52 Control Soul King." She nced over the crowd and fixed her gaze on Ling Bai. Her teeth unconsciously bit into her red lip, her eyes filled with aplex mix of emotions: shyness, anger, curiosity, and fear. Ling Bai met her gaze, trying to analyze her eyes, which resembled a pie chart, but after three seconds, he gave up. Sorry, I can''t understand at all!N?v(el)B\\jnn The fifth person was a small and slender male student, barely over 1.6 meters tall. He was thin and short, with no trace of handsomeness or charm, almost like ackey. "Yao Haoxuan, martial soul Heaven-Shaking Ape, soul power Level 52, dual cultivation in control and support. Due to my special circumstances, I have formed a duo with the pretty boy beside me. If anyone wants to take two Shrek Seven Monsters positions at once,e and challenge us!" Yao Haoxuan chuckled and patted the pretty boy beside him. "You deadbeat, who are you calling a pretty boy!" The male student rolled his eyes at Yao Haoxuan, raised a delicate finger, and said in a fine voice: "Gongyang Mo, martial soul Rainbow Dragon, Level 56 Support Soul King." Ling Bai could already be described as handsome, but Gongyang Mo was almost effeminate, with a voice that sent shivers down everyone''s spine, causing goosebumps to break out all over their bodies! Thest student stepped forward slowly, towering like a giant, his broad chest muscles drawing attention, but his wrists were adorned with a small, delicate object. A soul conductor! "Qian Fufu, Level 5 Soul Master Tutor." His name had a humorous ring to it, and Pan Tao, who had a low tolerance for jokes, couldn''t help but burst outughing. Unlike the Soul Masters who reported their martial souls and soul power, Qian Fufu only needed to state his Soul Master Tutor level. Hostility? The Spider Empress'' perception told Ling Bai that this Qian Fufu seemed to being at him with a fierce intent. Do we... know each other? Ling Bai felt inexplicably wronged and gently patted Ma Xiaotao''s shoulder, asking: "Do you know Qian Fufu?" Ma Xiaotao was taken aback: "Why are you suddenly asking about him?" "We have a connection." Don''t believe you for a second! Ma Xiaotao resisted the urge to tease Ling Bai and said, "He is the adopted son of the two deans of the Soul Conductor Department, Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin''er. He is the top Level 5 Soul Master Tutor in the Inner Academy and the Inner Academy''s top tterer, and the person he tters is the ice queen, Ling Luochen!" Case solved! Ling Bai recalled Qian Fufu''s humble plea to Ling Luochen to open the door yesterday. He must have heard that Ling Bai had defeated Ling Luochen in the Soul Duel Arena and decided to be her protector to avenge her. "Speaking of which, does Shrek Academy have a problem with its feng shui, producing so many Bo Yang Yangs..." Ling Bai raised a question. Qian Fufu and Xu Sanshi, two tterers in the Inner and Outer Academies! Huo Yuhao was even more significant, with Tang San nearly beating him to death, and after bing a god, he still called him father-inw! The official Shrek Seven Monsters finished their introductions, and Elder Xuan took a swig of wine, looking tipsy as he addressed the challengers, "That''s the situation. Who you challenge in the end is up to you. Six months from now, the Soul Duel Arena, the Seven Monsters Challenge will officially begin." After giving the instructions, Elder Xuan left the Soul Duel Arena unsteadily, leaving the official Shrek Seven Monsters and the seven challengers staring at each other. Dai Yueheng suddenly broke the silence: "Fellow students, although the challenge is an individualpetition, everyone is gathered in the Soul Duel Arena today. I propose a friendly team battle. What do you think?" (End of Chapter) Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Soul Artificer (Part 1) Chapter 45: Soul Artificer (Part 1) ?

Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng''s gazes collided fiercely in mid-air, as if the entire Soul Duel Arena resounded with the roars of tigers and the calls of phoenixes. She told Dai Yueheng in the most straightforward way possible that she was determined to secure the position of team captain! Dugu Lin admired her emerald green, slender nails and said leisurely, "If Ling Bai participates, I will too." "Huh?" The crowd''s expressions suddenly turned peculiar, and they all tilted their heads in unison, looking at the two as if there was something wrong with them. Ling Bai nced helplessly at Dugu Lin and said, "As long as you''re not afraid of revealing your trump cards, I don''t mind." "Why should I be afraid!" Tai Xing pounded his chest so loudly it shook the heavens, and he shouted in a rough voice, "Let''s fight them first!" Chu Qingtian, Zhou Sen, and Pan Tao also agreed to the team battle, showing no fear of the Seven Chosen Monstrosities, whose average Soul Power was six levels higher than theirs! Regardless of the oue of the team battle, they could observe thebat habits and Soul Skill effects of the Seven Chosen Monstrosities, allowing them to make full use of the six months for targeted training. The seven challengers were united in their resolve, and the Seven Chosen Monstrosities were already prepared. This team soul duel required no referee; the fourteen participants took their stances, ready to sh! "Brothers, let''s go!" A tiger''s roar erupted from Dai Yueheng''s mouth, his passionate and almost scorching aura bursting forth. Apanied by the crackling sound of his bones, Dai Yueheng''s muscles instantly swelled, his tiger ws extended, and six soul rings of yellow, purple, and ck rose. His sharp gaze was filled with a wild aura! Soul Power attached, White Tiger! Target locked, Ma Xiaotao! "Come on!" Ma Xiaotao''s pink eyes suddenly zed with a fiery light. The heat of the Phoenix me formed a scorching wave, distorting the surrounding air. Her phoenix wings spread, and six soul rings of the ideal ratio rose beneath her feet. She seemed like a fiery meteor, hurtling straight at Dai Yueheng! Following Ma Xiaotao, the second to move among the challengers was Chu Qingtian. He and Xi Xi transformed into two lightning bolts, constantly entwining each other. The Electric Mad Leopard and the Lightning Leopard were both speed-oriented Soul Powers, and their attacks and defenses left trails of electric light throughout the arena! Zhou Sen''s palms sprouted vines, and he and Pan Tao formed a duo to face Gong Yang and Mo Yao Hao. His first soul ring lit up at some point, and the Ghost Vine grew and extended rapidly, like giant pythons, entangling the Soul Power-attached, giant-sized Yao Haoxuan from all directions! On the other side, Chen Zifeng summoned his Soul-Chasing Sword. Seeing two figures rushing at him from the sky and the ground, he couldn''t help but feel depressed and said, "Am I that easy to bully?" The Six-Winged Angel and the Strong Gori were both strong attack-type Soul Powers, so Ling Bai and Tai Xing chose to attack Chen Zifeng without hesitation! Question: What would you do if you were surrounded by a Six-Winged Angel and a Strong Gori? Chen Zifeng''s approach was very simple: he took a deep breath, filling his lungs with air, increasing his lung capacity, and then roared to the sky, "Help! They''re not following the rules of martial virtue, bullying me, the lone individual!" "" Tai Xing stumbled and almost fell, while Ling Bai was stunned for a second, finding this peculiar individual bothughable and pitiful. The wise know when to yield, and Chen Zifeng''s surrender was incredibly swift! A crying child gets the candy, and Chen Zifeng''s shout did indeed bring help. Snowkes fell from the sky, and a thickyer of ice formed on the ground, rapidly cooling the scorching heat brought by Ma Xiaotao''s Phoenix me. Ice Element, Ling Luochen! Ling Luochen held an ice staff and wore an ice armor, standing gracefully in the icyndscape. Her expression was cold, her face as fair as jade, resembling a sacred and untouchable ice goddess. Her purple fourth soul ring shed, and she pointed her ice staff, transforming elemental ice into a fierce ice dragon that lunged at Ling Bai! "I''ve told you, elemental ice is ineffective against me." The ice dragon, snowkes, and frosty mist were shattered by the Evil-Banishing sh of the angelic sword, the zing golden eyes shining in the snowy sky. Ling Bai looked down from above at the stubborn woman on the ground, his angel wings pping powerfully, ready to recreate the instant kill from the previous day in the Soul Duel Arena. "Stop!" A roar echoed from somewhere in the Soul Duel Arena, followed by two intense white beams! The Spider Empress''s mentalwork detected that one of the white beams was aimed at Ling Bai''s sword-wielding right hand, while the other was aimed at hisnding point two seconds later! The skill level of the person firing the beams was very high, but they seemed to have no intention of severely injuring Ling Bai; otherwise, they would have aimed at his chest or head, human weak points! Theoretically, the safest response for Ling Bai would be to stop moving, avoid the second beam, and focus on deflecting the first. However, his choice was... Evil-Banishing Double de sh! "Boom! Boom!" The split sword energy hit the two beams with pinpoint uracy, as if guided by an automatic aiming system. After the explosions, the white energy waves rippled outward. When the waves dissipated, the towering Qian Fufu slowly stepped forward, the small Soul Conductor Device on his wrist emitting white smoke from the Soul Power overload. "Bullying a weak girl isn''t a true disy of strength; let me fight you!" A ssic scene of a heroing to the rescue of a damsel in distress, but Ling Luochen''s response was an angry shout, "Qian Fufu!" The moment Ling Luochen spoke, Qian Fufu''s eyes widened like copper bells, his ears perking up to catch every word of his goddess.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "Are you crazy? On what grounds do you interfere in my battle with him!" Boom- Ling Bai watched as the light in Qian Fufu''s eyes went out. If this were an anime, he would have turned to stone from head to toe, then shattered, his expression fragile like a child''s. "S-Sorry, Luochen, I..." Qian Fufu spoke dryly. "My name is Ling Luochen!" Ling Luochen coldly interrupted him, her ice staff swinging, and Dugu Lin, who had been watching the show, suffered an unintended attack! Ling Bai''s pitying gaze fell on Qian Fufu. This guy''s emotional intelligence was too low; no wonder he ended up with nothing after all his efforts, not even realizing that the originally nned team battle had been divided into many one-on-one and two-on-two matches by mutual agreement. Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, two strong attackers, were fighting for the position of team captain. Chu Qingtian and Xi Xi, the only speed attackers in their respective teams, were locked in a fierce battle. Zhou Sen and Pan Tao versus Yao Haoxuan and Gong Yang, the support types formed a duo to compete. Tai Xing and Chen Zifeng, another strong attack battle. Dugu Lin''s target was Ling Luochen, and since Ling Luochen had helped Chen Zifeng block Ling Bai, she had been unable to participate. Now, she finally got her wish, with her Bili Phosphorus Poison gradually corroding the Ice Element. Strangely, although the rules of the Seven Monsters Challenge allowed everyone to challenge Qian Fufu, he was now being deliberately ignored, leading to a face-to-face standoff between Ling Bai and Qian Fufu. Suddenly, Ling Bai said, "To be honest, I''ve never fought a Soul Artificer before." ording to the rules, the Seven Chosen Monstrosities that Ling Bai could challenge one-on- one were Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, and Qian Fufu. Since Dai and Chen had been preempted by Ma Xiaotao and Tai Xing, he didn''t mind giving his first one-on-one battle to Qian Fufu! Qian Fufu, who had stood out among many Soul Artificer disciples, had carried the heavy burden of the Soul Power students to secure the only Soul Artificer spot in the Shrek Seven Monsters, proving he was no ordinary individual. In terms of rawbat power, this son of the wealthy Qian family, the Inner Academy''s top Level 5 Soul Artificer, was even above Ling Luochen! Upon hearing this, Qian Fufu immediately understood. He exhaled a deep breath and said solemnly, "I won''t disappoint you." With that, he slowly retreated. Most Soul Artificers had lower Soul Power talents, and their Soul Skills were primarily for enhancing Soul Power. Therefore, the most crucial aspect of a Soul Artificer''s battle with a Soul Master was maintaining distance. Keeping a certain distance, preventing the Soul Master from getting close, and bombarding with artillery was the only truth!

At this moment, the metal barrels Qian Fufu released were different from themon Soul Conductor Cannons and Soul Conductor Rays on the market. They enveloped his arms, as if Qian Fufu had lost his arms and his body had directly grown two Soul Conductor Cannons! After the two Soul Conductor Cannons covered his arms, red and yellow Soul Power glowed instantly in the barrels, and two Soul Conductor Cannon shells, one red and one yellow, shot towards Ling Bai with trailing mes. These were different types of Soul Conductor Cannon shells, and their firing speeds varied greatly. The red shell was significantly slower than the yellow one, but when the red shell was fired, Qian Fufu''s muscr body clearly took a half-step back due to the recoil, leaving a ck mark like a heavy truck''s brake. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was an auxiliary sect, and its direct disciples had nobat ability, so they needed Soul Conductor Devices to protect them. Therefore, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had long been a super buyer of Soul Conductor Devices. Ling Bai, influenced by this, recognized many Soul Conductor Devices, and the two Qian Fufu used were among them. The yellow shell was a Level 5 Shock Cannon, a ranged attack Soul Conductor Device. When the Shock Cannon exploded, it produced a strong shockwave. A Soul Master with low Soul Power and a fragile body could be torn apart by the shockwave if they were at the center of the explosion. Even against a powerful Soul Master, the shockwave would significantly impede their movements, providing effective support for the Soul Conductor''s subsequentbat. Among thousands of Level 5 Soul Conductor Devices, the Shock Cannon was rtively practical and had a very high manufacturing difficulty. The red shell''s effect and principle were simple: a Level 5 Directed High-Explosive Shell! Its function was straightforward: to destroy! To destroy everything with a powerful explosion! The most terrifying aspect of the Directed High-Explosive Shell was the word ''directed,'' meaning it could lock onto an opponent through the Soul Power fluctuations emitted by a Soul Master, thus creating a tracking effect. A Level 5 Shock Cannon and a Level 5 Directed High-Explosive Shell, one for initial control and the other for subsequent finishing, formed a simple, practical, and powerfulbination, which was Qian Fufu''s mostmonly used Soul Conductor tactic! From the start of the battle, Ling Bai had only made one move: a straight-line charge! "Boom-" The Level 5 Shock Cannonnded ten meters away from him, and yellow shockwave ripples burst and spread, distorting the surrounding air. A strong shock sensation came, but Ling Bai did not stop for a moment. As his first Soul Ring shed, the radiant golden Seven-Pointed Star Formation transformed into the Big Dipper Formation Diagram and attached to his body, the Radiant Spirit Formation: Control perfectly ignoring the Shock Cannon''s ability! Ling Bai continued charging towards Qian Fufu. After passing through the shockwave ripples, he was less than fifty meters away from Qian Fufu. Was he not afraid of the high-explosive shell? A question mark appeared in Qian Fufu''s mind. Being hit by a Level 5 Directed High-Explosive Shell wasparable to receiving a full-force attack from a Soul Emperor. Not to mention a Soul Master like Ling Bai, even a Soul Saint would not want to directly endure it! Ling Bai lifted his head, and the golden pupils reflected the red shell. The high-explosive shell''s targeting device captured his Soul Power fluctuations and skillfully turned in the air, the tail me bursting for a second eleration!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om In the next instant, a sword light split the sky, the golden light seeming to cut through heaven and earth! The high-explosive shell was cleaved in half by the Holy Angel Sword, the cut surface smooth as a mirror, and it fell to the ground with a crisp ng. "How can this be?!" Qian Fufu''s pupils slightly dted. He was not surprised that the Holy Angel Sword had cut through the Level 5 Directed High-Explosive Shell, but that the high-explosive shell did not explode after being cut! The high-explosive shell had multiple core arrays inscribed inside, filled with arge amount of unstable Soul Power. Even a slight collision would cause an internal reaction and explosion. Once, a sect bought a batch of high-explosive shells but neglected their storage, and the entire sect was blown sky-high, the mushroom cloud visible from two miles away! With one sword, Ling Bai cut through the Level 5 Directed High-Explosive Shell, and his speed suddenly increased. In a sh, he charged to within ten meters of Qian Fufu, a distance that was extremely lethal for a physically fragile Soul Conductor! In a sh, Qian Fufu disyed the demeanor of the Inner Courtyard''s top Level 5 Soul Conductor, quickly regaining hisposure. Arge number of metal barrels appeared all over his body, making him look like a ck porcupine covered in spikes! With all the metal barrels in ce, Qian Fufu, without hesitation, expended half his Soul Power and unleashed a barrage of Soul Conductor Rays at Ling Bai, weaving a of firepower to cover him entirely. Qian Fufu''s goal was simple: as long as Ling Bai was interfered with or dyed by the Soul Conductor Rays, he would face a continuous barrage of artillery attacks, and some powerful Soul Conductor Devices that required a slight charge could alsoe into y! "Radiant Spirit Formation: Storm." A detached voice fell, and a sacred storm swept across the arena, with Ling Bai at the eye of the storm, sweeping away all the Soul Conductor Rays! "Damn!" Qian Fufu couldn''t help but curse, having never seen such a disgusting ability from a Soul Conductor before. After dealing with the Soul Conductor Rays, Ling Bai revealed his form, the Holy Angel Sword''s edge pointing directly at Qian Fufu''s head. Suddenly, the metal barrels on Qian Fufu''s body merged like liquid, forming a massive battle knife! The de was dark red, but it now emitted a bright red glow. A two-foot-long de aura flickered like a devouring me. As the de appeared, the surrounding air became scorching. With Qian Fufu''s Soul Power infusion, the battle knife transformed into a stunning rainbow, and the two-foot-long de aura instantly extended to ten feet! The de''s sweeping arc was like the rising sun, whether in power, speed, attributes, or the Soul Conductor Device itself, it could be considered the pinnacle of a Level 5 Soul Conductor! The golden Holy Angel Sword hung in the air, and Qian Fufu''s battle knife drew a dozen- meter-long dazzling de light. The sword and knife shed, and the sparks that flew illuminated both their faces. Qian Fufu gritted his teeth and stared intently at Ling Bai, who wore a rxed smile. "Roar!" Qian Fufu roared, and a pair of bull horns suddenly sprouted from his head. His body was covered in a thickyer of ck hair, and the veins under the hair bulged like wriggling snakes! Soul Power, Mammoth Bull! Five Soul Rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and ck, rose from his feet, with the two yellow Soul Rings emitting brilliant light! First Soul Skill, Brute Strength! Second Soul Skill, Resistance Power! Qian Fufu was not like most Soul Conductors, whose Soul Powerbat ability was negligible. The Mammoth Bull was amon soul beast on the vast grasnds, with average Soul Power quality but extremely adept at strength! The sudden resistance force sent Ling Bai flying into the air. Qian Fufu raised his battle knife, and the soul conductor thrusters on his back spewed mes likeva. With red eyes, he charged at Ling Bai like a mad Mammoth Bull! Ling Bai''s lips curled up. The sky was the domain of the Six-Winged Angel. A Soul Conductor, not using firepower suppression, but engaging in aerial closebat with him? Brilliant!

The sound of shing des echoed continuously in the Soul Duel Arena. The Angel Wings and Soul Conductor Propeller brought bothbatants to such high speeds that they became mere blurs. Each Sword Beam and de sh they unleashed shone like the light of stars and moons, dazzling the spectators. Sparks flew with each sh, like fireworks, and if their weapons were meremon items, they would have shattered long ago under the immense force of their shes. "Crack-" A sharp metallic sound suddenly rang out, and the two blurs halted simultaneously. One golden, one ck, one above, one below. Ling Bai firmly upied the upper position, his Holy Angel Sword having cut a jagged gash into Qian Fufu''s Dark Red Warde. As the stalemate continued, the gash showed signs of spreading. "" Qian Fufu struggled to hold up his warde with both hands, his Soul Conductor Propeller roaring behind him. On the surface, the two seemed evenly matched, but deep down, he knew that his meticulously crafted soul conductor was no match for the Holy Angel Sword. He could hear the warde''s mournful groans with each collision! "Why can you slice through a High-Explosive Grenade without it exploding?" Qian Fufu managed to ask, his voice strained. Ling Bai''s legs weren''t even as thick as his arms, and he looked as frail as a flower vase. How could he possess such monstrous strength? Compared to Qian Fufu''s desperate struggle, Ling Bai seemed to have plenty of room to maneuver. He replied calmly, "There''s no way around it. The Holy Attribute''s Purification is actually a form of Dissolution. The moment the High-Explosive Grenade was cut by the Holy Angel Sword, its core array was dissolved, so it naturally wouldn''t explode." "Is that even possible?!" Qian Fufu almost spat out these three words through gritted teeth. Before Qian Fufu could think more, the Holy Angel Sword glowed with intense golden light, and the fifth-rank soul conductor warde was cleaved in two. In the next second, Ling Bai''s left fist mmed heavily into Qian Fufu''s chest, which resembled a double-door refrigerator. "Ah!" A scream apanied the flying body, Qian Fufu''s mind went nk. What happened? This thought had just formed in his mind when Qian Fufu''s body came into intimate contact with the wall at the boundary of the Soul Duel Arena. With a boom, Qian Fufu was embedded in the wall in a swastika shape. At this moment, the various small battlefields were graduallying to an end. Rainbow Dragon Gongyang Mo hurriedly ran over to pull Qian Fufu out of the wall, looking at Ling Bai with a gaze like a monster. The Soul Duel ended, the results were as follows: Ling Baipletely dominated Qian Fufu, Ma Xiaotao defeated Dai Yueheng, Dugu Lin overcame Ling Luochen, Xi Xi suppressed Chu Qingtian, Yao Haoxuan and Gongyang Mo thoroughly beat Zhou Senpantao, and Tai Xing was toyed with by Chen Zifeng. The seven chosen monsters and the challengers had a mix of joy and sorrow. Although this did not represent the final elimination results, they already understood one thing. This year''s Shrek Seven Monsters were about to change! Six-Winged Angel Ling Bai and Fiery Evil Phoenix Ma Xiaotao were sure to be selected for the Shrek Seven Monsters! Dugu Lin, relying on the intense toxicity of the Five Poisons Combined into Virulent Green Phosphorus Poison, overcame Ling Luochen despite the difference of one soul ring, but the gap between them was not significant, and the oue could easily be reversed within half a year. The other four challengers wereckluster and were likely to be mere supporting yers. After one battle, most people''s moods became heavy, especially Soul-Chasing Sword Chen Zifeng, who kept rubbing his face. Beating Tai Xing waspletely useless; whether it was Ling Bai or Ma Xiaotao, he wouldn''t stand a chance against either of them! "Six months from now, I will win back the captain''s position honorably." Dai Yueheng''s handsome face was scorched ck by the Phoenix me, and arge part of his school uniform was burned. His eyes, however, were bright and sharp. He left a message for Ma Xiaotao and then turned to leave, heading towards the Mimetic Training Area. Chen Zifeng and the other seven monsters forced smiles as they said goodbye to the seven, then rushed towards the training area/teaching building one by one, their urgent demeanor clearly showing that the challengers had truly threatened the status of the seven monsters! Just as the challengers were about to go their separate ways, a white figure descended before them. "Dean Yan?" "Teacher?" Everyone was surprised; the visitor was none other than the Dean of the Spirit Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe. "Ling Bai, I''m here for you." Yan Shaozhe got straight to the point, "The Pavilion Master has agreed to your request. Starting today, you can move into the Sea God Pavilion." "Finally..." Ling Bai felt a sense of relief, like a dark cloud had finally cleared to reveal the moon. The Death Prison Spider Emperor was like a sharp de hanging over his head, making him restless day and night. He had finally taken the first step to resolve this persistent problem! "Residency at the Sea God Pavilion... Only Senior Sister has received this honor in the Inner Academy!" "College really values Ling!" "Of course, if you''re an Elder, wouldn''t you value a monster of this level? You''d be afraid it might melt in your hands!" Everyone whispered, all showing envy and desire for Ling Bai. With the full support of Shrek College, Ling Bai would grow into the strongest of the young generation on the continent in five years, putting an end to any debate. "Are you leaving? Is it... because of me?" Ma Xiaotao''s attitude was clearly different from the others. A hint of regret shed in her pink eyes, thinking that the loss of control of her evil fire had left a psychological shadow on Lingn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Bai. Hearing this, Ling Baiughed, "Don''t worry. The Sea God Pavilion is carved within the Golden Tree and possesses the most concentrated light aura on the continent. It is the most suitable ce for my cultivation, which is why I requested Dean Yan to arrange a room for me." "Oh, I see..." Ma Xiaotao felt a bit better. "The Sea God Pavilion is located at the center of Sea God Ind, where the Elders also reside. You must be careful with your words and actions and avoid disturbing the Elders'' meditation." Yan Shaozhe advised, "Your room is on the ground floor, with your name carved on the door sign. Go there on your own." "Yes, Dean Yan." Ling Bai spread his Angel Wings and flew towards the Golden Tree. Seeing Ling Bai leave, Yan Shaozhe looked at Chu Qingtian and the others, deliberately putting on a stern face, "I have something to say to Xiaotao. You new students, go back and focus on your cultivation. The Inner Academy new student assessment begins in three months. If you fail the assessment task, don''t me me or the college for being merciless." Mentioning the new student assessment, the five immediately realized that they were not yet true Inner Academy students. Only by passing the assessment could they establish themselves in the college andpete for the Shrek Seven Monsters title. They bowed to Yan Shaozhe and hurriedly left. "Xiaotao, how is your Phoenix Evil Fire these past two days?" Yan Shaozhe asked Ma Xiaotao with a gentle smile. Ma Xiaotao nodded slightly, "It''s unprecedentedly stable." "Would you like it to be stable forever?" Yan Shaozhe''s tone carried a hint of temptation, guiding her like the big bad wolf in a fairy tale luring the little white rabbit to open the door. "Forever? Sigh, I wouldn''t dare to dream of it." Ma Xiaotao drew a sharp breath. "Lack of ambition, I dare to think!" "Teacher, just tell me what to do." Ma Xiaotao adopted a respectful and obedient demeanor. "The key lies in you and Ling Bai. I have a brilliant n; listen carefully..." Yan Shaozhe lowered his voice and spoke slowly, word by word. As she listened, Ma Xiaotao''s beautiful face gradually twisted, her pink eyes seemingly erging into beady eyes...

A ck que hung above it, with three gilded characters identifying it as the Sea God Pavilion. The Sea God Pavilion was originally a rare Golden Tree in the world, a tree imbued with Light and the essence of life. Without affecting the life of the Golden Tree, the predecessors of Shrek Academy carved the Sea God Pavilion using the Golden Tree as the foundation. The moment Ling Bai stepped into the Sea God Pavilion, a dense and gentle golden light fell softly, enveloping him entirely. The warm and heavy aura of Light continuously nourished his body. The Six-Winged Angel suddenly attached to him autonomously, the iparably transparent Holiness light intertwining with the golden light of the Golden Tree. His right arm, which had absorbed the zing Bone Dragon Eagle Soul Bone, emitted a vivid and pure golden light, with the sound of dragons roaring intermittently. "Little one, it''s your first time entering the Sea God Pavilion. As an elder, I should give you some gifts." A voice as warm as a spring breeze echoed in Ling Bai''s ears. In the next second, a pure Light attribute energy directly surged into Ling Bai''s body, his Soul Power instantly leaping from the peak of level 41 to the peak of level 42, on the verge of breaking through to level 43. "Thank you, Senior." Ling Bai bowed deeply to the empty air. The only person in Shrek Academy who could harness the power of the Golden Tree was Ny-Nine Level Ultimate Douluo, the Master of the Sea God Pavilion, one of the ck and White Twin Holy Dragons, Dragon God Douluo Mu En. Whether in terms of strength, character, or contributions to the Douluo Continent, Elder Mu was a revered predecessor whom Ling Bai looked up to. "You are Jiren''s personal disciple; Shrek Academy is your second home." Elder Mu''s aged voice carried a smile, "Cultivate with peace of mind within the Golden Tree, and do not Jiren''s expectations for you." "Yes, Senior." Ling Bai entered the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion and quickly found his room through the inscriptions above the door. Notably, his neighbors on either side were the Inner Academy''s Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan and the Tang Sect''s Senior Brother Bei Bei. Both of their rooms were currently closed, and Ling Bai did not rashly disturb them. Instead, he pushed open his own door. The interioryout was very simple, with a wooden bed, wooden table, and wooden chair. The moment he opened the door, a thick, almost tangible Light energy rushed towards him. With each breath, his Soul Power seemed to rise slowly. "The long-lost Aura of the Goddess of Light, oh, no, in this world, it should be called Ultimate Light." Ilex sighed in the Sea of Consciousness. "Elder Ilex." Ling Bai transformed into a spirit and appeared before Ilex. His eyes widened in surprise, for there was no other reason- Ilex looked... quite disheveled. His previously neat grayish-white hair was now messy, and his simple yet luxurious ck robe had several holes. "What are you looking at?" Ilex furrowed his brows and pointed at the sky irritably, "Do you not know why I am in this state, boy?" Ling Bai saw the Death Prison Spider Emperor trapped in a golden cage far in the sky. He sped his hands together and said sincerely, "Elder Ilex, you have my thanks."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Ilex snorted, "I have truly been duped by you. The Divine Power within this Death Prison Spider Emperor is incredibly sinister and evil. I paid a great price to barely seal it. If we do not use the Light power of this Golden Tree to reinforce the seal, you will be a demon that only knows how to devour blood souls!" "I will always remember Elder Ilex''s kindness and will certainly help you repair your soul and reshape your body when the timees!" Ling Bai tried to offer Ilex a promise, but the old man, who was well-versed and experienced, immediately saw through it. "Enough with that. I have a favor to ask of you now!" "Say it, and I will do my best," Ling Bai said solemnly. "My residual soul traveled through time and space to the Douluo Continent, consuming arge amount of soul power. Tobat the Death Prison Spider Emperor, I lost even more. My soul is now unstable." Ilex sighed and stated his request, "So I need a fulcrum." Ling Bai asked in confusion, "What should I do?" "You don''t need to do anything deliberately," Ilex said, "Open your Death Prison Spider Emperor soul, and my soul power will upy one soul ring position." "Just that?" Ling Bai was taken aback. He had expected it to be much more difficult, even preparing to seek help from the Jiubao Liuli Sect''s Jianmu Douluo and the Sect Leader. But it turned out to be just a soul ring position!? Ilex continued, "I know that for soul masters, each soul ring is crucial. Although you tricked me into your Sea of Consciousness earlier, I still do not wish to deceive you. This soul ring is only to carry my soul and does not provide any soul skills. You should consider this carefully." Hearing this, Ling Bai fell into deep thought. After a while, he said seriously, "Elder Ilex, you are a Holy Death Spirit Mage. Will one soul ring be enough to carry your soul? The Death Prison Spider Emperor can currently attach four soul rings. Why don''t you upy more positions?" Ilex was momentarily stunned, then burst into heartyughter, "Good, good, good, you have a bit of a conscience. It was not in vain for me to expend my soul power for you!" In an instant, as if he had realized something, Ling Bai smiled bitterly, "So you were testing me." Ilexughed loudly, "The test was real, upying one of your soul ring positions is also real, but the inability to provide soul skills is a lie! The soul ring formed by my soul contains the Necromancy I spent my entire life creating. Ling Bai, your good fortune is yet toe!" Ling Bai smiled in relief. Ilex had already helped control the Death Prison Spider Emperor, preventing him from falling into Raksha Evil Power. Giving up a soul ring position was justified, and learning Necromancy was an unexpected bonus. More importantly, he had earned Ilex''s inner recognition, and from now on, they were truly on the same boat, sharing both glory and adversity. "With the special soul ring of the Elder and the Light power of the Golden Tree, you can use the Death Prison Spider Emperor soul without worry." Ilex''s surprises kepting, and Ling Bai struggled to keep up. Suppressing his excitement, he asked, "You and the Golden Tree have already suppressed the Raksha Evil Power?" "Temporarily." Ilex crossed his arms, gazing at the eight crimson eyes of the Death Prison Spider Emperor, and said solemnly, "As your Soul Power grows, the Death Prison Spider Emperor, as your soul, will also be stronger, and the evil Divine Power within it will simrly grow. Even if I use the Golden Tree to the utmost, I can only help you suppress it up to the Soul Saint level. Before breaking through to Soul Saint, you must clear the evil Divine Power, or the consequences will be unimaginable." "Do you have a way?" "Of course," Ilex said proudly. At this moment, Ling Bai couldn''t help but marvel that having an elder was like having a treasure. The oldrade was indeed experienced! "Your first soul, the Six-Winged Angel, is abination of Holiness, Light, and Fire, but only Holiness has reached the ultimate level," Ilex said slowly, "I believe the Six-Winged Angel can evolve further!" Ling Bai understood immediately, his eyes shining brightly, "You mean to let the Light and Fire attributes of the Six-Winged Angel also..." "Exactly as you think. Ultimate Holiness, Ultimate Light, Ultimate Fire! Combining three ultimate attributes, using the holy to counter the evil, is the fundamental solution!"

Ling Bai''s heart was in turmoil, struggling to calm down. Ilex''s bold and outrageous idea, even the originaldaren''t think in this direction! Outrageous! Too outrageous! Yet, there was a hint of reason hidden within the outrageousness! Faced with the Death Prison Spider Emperor, who possessed Raksha Evil Power and Ultimate Death, only the Six-Winged Angel with Three Ultimate Attributes could suppress it! "Please, teach me how to do it!" Ling Bai''s face flushed with excitement. He... no, any Soul Master from the Tang Sect Continent would be unable to resist the allure of Three Ultimate Attributes Soul Power! Ilex knew Ling Bai was eager, so he didn''t intentionally hold back. He smiled and said, "It''s difficult, but it''s also simple. You need to obtain the Heavenly Treasures of Ultimate Light and Ultimate Fire. nt the seeds of these two ultimate attributes deep within the Six- Winged Angel''s Soul Power. The rest, I will help you with." "This..." Ling Bai''s brain CPU was working overtime. Ultimate Fire was simple; the Sunset Forest Ice and Fire Dual-Eyed Spring had a spirit grass called zing Apricot Delicacy, which possessed Ultimate Fire attributes. However, Ultimate Light seemed quite challenging... Wait, Ling Bai suddenly felt the abundant power of light surrounding him, as if it were right before his eyes! The Golden Tree! "Old Ilex, can we use the Golden Tree?" Ling Bai asked hurriedly. Ilex nodded, "Yes, but the energy required for the ultimate seeds isparable to that of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. Such a sudden loss might damage the Golden Tree''s foundation." "Hmm..." Ling Bai suddenly froze. The Golden Tree housed over a dozen Sea God Pavilion elders. Damaging the Golden Tree''s foundation was almost the same as digging up the Shrek Academy''s ancestral grave. If he dared to make a move, the elders would chop him into mincemeat with their machetes in the next second. "The Ultimate Light seed... let''s discuss itter!" Anyway, his Soul Power was still far from level seventy. If necessary, he could find the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s patriarch to issue a bounty across the entire continent. Money could move mountains, and with the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s immense wealth, Ling Bai believed there would be a way to obtain a ten-thousand-year-old Ultimate Light Heavenly Treasure. "Knock knock knock!" Suddenly, there was a knocking sound from outside. After a brief exchange with Ilex, Ling Bai hurriedly exited the Spirit Sea. "Creak-" The wooden door made from the Golden Tree creaked open, and Ling Bai saw Ma Xiaotao standing outside, tall and graceful. She had changed into a new outfit, a light red short dress that perfectly entuated her curvaceous figure. Her snow-white skin was barely visible, and her fiery red hair cascaded like a waterfall to her waist, radiating a dazzling glow. Her long, smooth legs were d in ck thigh-high stockings, paired with nude high heels. This outfitplemented her fair skin, making her look both bright and sensual. However, Ling Bai felt a chill run down his spine at the sight. This woman is Ma Xiaotao?! Something was off, extremely off! His alertness spiked, and Ling Bai barely restrained himself from shouting, "Hey! What demon dares to impersonate the Inner Academy''s live volcano?" He half-opened the door and cautiously asked, "What do you want?" "After all, we''ve been neighbors for a few days. Won''t you invite me in for a chat?" Ma Xiaotao didn''t answer. She lowered her head and walked past Ling Bai into the room, acting as if she owned the ce. Ling Bai felt a fragrant rose scent wafting toward him. She... she even wore perfume! The refreshing scent was captivating, as if a soft hand was tickling his heart, making him feel a bit itchy. Honestly, Ling Bai was unusually nervous this time. In just a couple of hours, Ma Xiaotao had changed her approach. He would rather fight her on the Soul Dueling Arena again! Ling Bai closed the door and followed Ma Xiaotao, his tone slightly heavier, "If you have something to say, I hope you will be straightforward." Ma Xiaotao continued to face away from Ling Bai, her mind reying her conversation with Yan Shaozhe. "Teacher, you want me to... seduce Ling Bai!?!" "Xiaotao, don''t rush to refuse. This is also good for you. The Phoenix Evil Fire in your body has been temporarily suppressed by the Six-Winged Angel and won''t re up within a year, but what about after that? Will you find Ling Bai again to help you?" "I..." "He can certainly help while he''s at the Academy, but he is a disciple of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. After graduation, he will return to his sect. What will you do when the evil fire res up again?" "Teacher, let me think about it. He''s only eleven, and I can''t bring myself to do it. Besides, he might not even like my type!" "That''s not important. Boys are easily attracted to the first girl who gives them their initial enlightenment. You are beautiful and have high Soul Power talent. Ling Bai has the god-tier Soul Power of the Six-Winged Angel, and his appearance is unmatched. I''ve lived for over a hundred years and have never seen a more handsome man. Being with him won''t demean you. In the future, the Academy will revolve around both of you..." Thinking this, Ma Xiaotao suddenly looked up, her face and ears flushed red, her whole body feeling as if she were a steamed crab. She finally made a huge decision, turned around, and pushed Ling Bai onto the bed. She then crossed her legs and leaned against the edge of the bed, running her hand through her fiery red hair while slowly pulling down her shoulder, biting her lower lip, and giving Ling Bai a seductive look. "Miss, if you can''t handle it, let''s go clean the windows instead." Ling Bai''s wordspletely deted Ma Xiaotao, who froze in ce. "Do you even know how to do this?" Ling Bai rubbed his forehead in pain. "Who taught you to bite your lip like that, and that seductive look... is that even a seductive look? Your eyes are almost popping out. Are you trying to scare me to death? Learn from Dugu Lin. What is it to be naturally seductive? Every frown and smile is a beautiful scene. You look like you''re about to feed yourself to a tiger!" "Aaah, stop insulting me!" No matter how bold and fiery Ma Xiaotao was, she was still an innocent young woman. She was already shy about this, and now she couldn''t hold it in anymore. She angrily grabbed her hair and shouted, "Teacher wants me to seduce you, but how am I supposed to seduce a man? Do you know that when I was making those strange moves just now, I was digging my toes into the ground with all my might!"N?v(el)B\\jnn "Actually... you do have some natural advantages." Ling Bai sat up and gently patted her smooth, white shoulder tofort her. "Forget it, forget it. That old man is always giving me bad advice!" Far away at Sea God Lake, Yan Shaozhe, the dean, sneezed loudly, full of anticipation. Ma Xiaotao looked straight at Ling Bai, "I don''t do underhanded tricks. Let''s talk openly!"

Ling Bai thought for a second and then epted the confession, as he didn''t want to see Ma Xiaotao''s clumsy advances, which were as awkward as a Ferrari with a tractor steering wheel -no one could bear it. "On that night, you helped me suppress the Evil Fire, didn''t you?" "Yeah." Ling Bai admitted, a hint of understanding shing in his eyes. He roughly grasped Ma Xiaotao''s purpose, but ording to her usual temperament, she didn''t seem like the type to lower herself to actively flirt with a man! Ma Xiaotao rubbed a strand of fiery red hair in her palm, struggling to find the right words to start. After a long pause, she slowly said: "Ling Bai, thank you for your help. I won''t have to worry about the Evil Fire getting out of control for a year. But the Evil Fire originates from the root of my Soul Power, and it will re- emerge after a year, gradually eroding my sanity. Teacher hopes I can... get into a rtionship with you. In the future, we can use the Six- Winged Angel to clear the Evil Fire likest time. Considering your identity, talent, and appearance... we actually match quite well. I was a little convinced by him. He advised me to quickly develop feelings for you and, well, consummate the rtionship..." By the end, Ma Xiaotao''s voice was barely audible, only she could hear it. Ling Bai managed to catch every word thanks to his exceptional hearing and by stretching his neck like a giraffe.N?v(el)B\\jnn To be fair, Yan Shaozhe''s n was brilliant, achieving three goals at once. It solved the long- standing problem of the Phoenix Evil Fire for his beloved disciple Ma Xiaotao, found her an excellent lifelong partner, and most ingeniously, it would bind Ling Bai, a god-level Soul Power user, to Shrek Academy through their marital rtionship when Ma Xiaotao eventually inherits Yan Shaozhe''s mantle and enters the Sea God Pavilion. Yan Shaozhe, the old fox. "Unfortunately, Teacher overlooked one thing. If I were popr with boys, would I be called the ''Inner Academy Volcano''? The Phoenix Fairy would be more fitting!" Ma Xiaotao covered her burning face with one hand and pounded the wooden bed with the other, causing Ling Bai to wince, fearing the bed might end up with an unnecessary hole. "Never mind, I don''t expect you to be my boyfriend. Besides, you''re only eleven, and it wouldn''t be right for an old cow to eat young grass." Ma Xiaotao sighed deeply. "Six." Ling Bai simply said, ncing at Ma Xiaotao''s curvaceous and fiery figure and her stunningly beautiful face. With her looks and figure, it seemed he could consider a rtionship, even if it meant a small horse pulling a big cart. After such an awkward encounter, Ma Xiaotao felt she couldn''t stay any longer and muttered, "I''ll go back and report to Teacher. You should focus on your cultivation." "Take care." Ling Bai politely stood up to see her off. Ma Xiaotao walked to the door, pushed open the golden wooden door, and a gap appeared. However, as she stepped out of the room, her eyes caught two small figures approaching the Golden Tree. "Someone''sing!" Ma Xiaotao reacted quickly, pulling back her body. If Ling Bai hadn''t dodged in time, his nose might have crashed into her back of her head. Ling Bai took a step back and asked, puzzled, "Who? Which Sea God Pavilion elder?" "Senior Sister! And a young boy." Ma Xiaotao''s face tensed. After all, what she had done today wasn''t exactly honorable. Wearing ck stockings, high heels, and a sexy short skirt, leaving Ling Bai''s room in such a provocative manner, if Zhang Lexuan saw her, she would probably spiral into the sky and be gossiped about by Shrek Academy students for the rest of her life. "Young boy?" Ling Bai secretly opened a crack in the door, peering through to see the man walking and chatting with Zhang Lexuan. Oh, it''s Bei Bei! It makes sense! "Let me see again!" Women''s natural curiosity kicked in, and Ma Xiaotao squeezed next to Ling Bai, their faces nearly touching, their warm breaths mingling. The ambiguous atmosphere inside and outside the door was equally intense. "Damn, I recognize that boy. I''ve seen him hanging out with Xu San Shi a few times. He''s quite famous among the Outer Academy students. He actually managed to hook up with Senior Sister!" Ma Xiaotao''s voice was low but couldn''t hide her excitement. Discovering someone else''s secret, especially someone as dignified and noble as Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, gave her a thrilling and guilty pleasure. "Ling Bai, look, look! Senior Sister is smiling so gently! Oh, oh, oh, Senior Sister is reaching out to him! Damn, how can he pretend not to see when a girl takes the initiative to hold hands? Senior Sister is so foolish, after over twenty years, she finally falls for a young man, but she picked a scumbag!" Ling Bai felt an urge to touch his nose. The more he listened, the more it seemed Ma Xiaotao was indirectly insulting him! And he finally realized how close they were. A casual nce downward revealed some smooth, round, and magnificent scenery. "Come back, stop looking." Ling Bai quickly pulled Ma Xiaotao away, suppressing certain instinctive reactions, and said seriously: "Since we''ve seen this secret, for Senior Sister''s reputation, we must keep it to ourselves and not let a third person know." "Hmph, naturally. There aren''t many students in the Inner Academy I respect, and Zhang Lexuan is one of them. I''m just a little curious about what makes that boy so special that he could steal her heart." Ma Xiaotao sat gracefully on the bed, ying with a strand of hair that fell over her chest, stretchingzily to disy her young woman''s allure, not hiding her graceful figure. She couldn''t help but smile inwardly when Ling Bai averted his gaze, thinking: So, I''m not without charm after all. If I had really lowered myself to flirt just now, perhaps tonight... No, no, no! A sudden surge of Evil Fire emerged, but this time it wasn''t the Phoenix Evil Fire; it was genuine "Evil Fire." Ma Xiaotao quickly suppressed some chaotic thoughts and changed the subject: "If I were to run out and say, ''Senior Sister, you don''t want others to know about you and the young boy, right? What do you think the oue would be?" Hearing this, Ling Bai''s expression turned strange. Don''t even say it! He cleared his throat and said sincerely, "There are probably two oues: either you kill Senior Sister, or she kills you." Ma Xiaotao: ... You really know how to insult people! After a brief pause, Ma Xiaotao quickly changed the topic: "I''ll stay in your room for a while. I''ll leave after they part ways." "Sure." Ling Bai agreed. One sat on the wooden chair, the other half-lying on the bed. The atmosphere remained silent for a long time before Ma Xiaotao suddenly said: "Ling Bai, the reason I finally agreed to Teacher''s suggestion is that he made a valid point. You are a disciple of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and will leave the academy after graduation to return to your sect. You can only help me temporarily, not permanently. I want to ask, do you have a way topletely solve the Evil Fire problem?"

Her slender body shot up as if propelled by a spring. She rushed over, tightly gripping Ling Bai''s hand. The force of her grip made his bones crackle, and her face was filled with pleading and hope. She said urgently, "What method? Please tell me!" The evil fire that had tormented her for twelve years was a problem even the top Soul Master Academy on the continent could not solve. Ma Xiaotao was like a patient suffering from a chronic and incurable disease, with the best hospitals in the country issuing critical condition notices. Now, someone suddenly told her that she could still be saved. How could this unexpected joy not make Ma Xiaotao lose herposure! Ling Bai struggled to free his slightly red palm and raised two slender fingers, saying, "I have two options. You can choose after hearing them." "Tell me, I''m listening!" This was about the Phoenix Evil Fire, and Ma Xiaotao was now as obedient as could be. "The first option is to follow the path of your ten-thousand-year-old ancestor, Phoenix Romasun. You can consume the legendary Cocb Phoenix Sunflower to significantly enhance the Phoenix bloodline within you, and the evil power hidden in the mes will naturally be resolved." "It''s not..." Ma Xiaotao seemed to dete, her face expressionless as she said, "Shrek Academy and my teacher know about this method! The problem is that the Cocb Phoenix Sunflower is a divine herb, something that only exists in heaven. It''s rare to find it in the mortal world. The academy has tried for years to find any information about the Cocb Phoenix Sunflower but has found nothing." "That''s too bad." Ling Bai remained calm on the surface. He knew that the Cocb Phoenix Sunflower was located at the Ice and Fire Dual-Eyed Spring, but he and Ma Xiaotao were far from the point where he would give her the divine herb. If she were to change her allegiance in the future, he might consider it. The Cocb Phoenix Sunflower was just a seed nted in Ma Xiaotao''s mind. The real solution Ling Bai wanted to propose was the second option. "The second option is well-known: the holy attribute of the Six-Winged Angel is the bane of all evil. The Phoenix Evil Fire is no exception. I canpletely eliminate the Phoenix Evil Fire within you." Ma Xiaotao''s pink eyes widened in shock. The happiness came too suddenly, leaving her a bit at a loss. She blurted out, "Please help me get rid of the evil fire now. I swear I won''t bother you anymore, and I will definitely repay you!" "Alright." Ling Bai looked at Ma Xiaotao, his eyes deep and profound. "Before we proceed, I need to remind you of something: everything has a price." "Uh... a price?" Ma Xiaotao thought of something, and a rosy blush instantly spread across her cheeks. She subconsciously tightened her sexy red mini-skirt and closed her long, ck-stockinged legs, leaving no gaps. "Don''t overthink it, let''s keep it simple." Ling Bai immediately saw through Ma Xiaotao''s dirty thoughts, causing her to re at him in embarrassment. Ling Bai innocently blinked. Could he be med for this, sister? If he really had ulterior motives, wouldn''t it have been better to do it when she was half- reluctant and half-willing? Why go through all this trouble! Sighing helplessly, Ling Bai continued, "There is always a trade-off. This is an eternal truth. The holy power of the Six-Winged Angel is a form of dissolution. While purifying the evil energy, it will inevitably purify some of the essence of the Phoenix mes." Ma Xiaotao''s brows furrowed tightly. The essence of a soul beast affected the level of the soul beast, so she couldn''t help but take it seriously. After a long moment, she said hesitantly, "How much of an impact will it have?" Ling Bai replied calmly, "Not too significant, the Fire Phoenix will still remain a top-tier soul beast. But it''s not insignificant either. After I take action, you will never be able to touch the ultimate fire in your life." Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao subconsciously clenched her teeth. The ultimate attribute was every soul master''s dream, and the Evil Fire Phoenix had a chance to reach the ultimate realm. "The Six-Winged Angel can also use the ultimate ice or ultimate water to neutralize the effect, and you will pay a simr price," Ling Bai added. "The ultimate attribute is an external force, while absorbing the Cocb Phoenix Sunflower is truly using your own strength to transcend yourself. I hope you will carefully consider the pros and cons with Dean Yan. If you ultimately decide to seek help from the Six-Winged Angel,e to Golden Tree anytime." "...Thank you, I will discuss it with my teacher." Knowing the path to liberation, Ma Xiaotao was not happy. With her proud nature, giving up her future was more painful than death. "My seniors should have separated." Ling Bai''s words hinted at his intention to see her off. Ma Xiaotao picked up on this and did not say much more. She bid farewell to Ling Bai and left. Ling Bai gazed at the closed golden wooden door, as if he could see her silhouette through it. He began to analyze and weigh the pros and cons in his mind. ... Three months had passed since Ling Bai''s enrollment at Shrek Academy, and it was time for the new inner courtyard students to undergo their assessment to determine their ce. These three months had been eventful for Ling Bai. He would have breakfast with his senior sister Han Ruoru every morning, then go to the library to read or attend interesting sses in the teaching building. In the afternoon, he would head to the soul arena to hone hisbat skills, and in the evening, he would join Ning Tian and Wu Feng for dinner in the outer courtyard. Finally, he would return to Golden Tree to meditate and cultivate. asionally, Ma Xiaotao and Dugu Lin would interrupt his routine. The former did not mention the Phoenix Evil Fire again, which aligned with Ling Bai''s judgment: the closer a soul master was to the ultimate, the less willing they were to give up on it. Dugu Lin simply visited him out of boredom, chatting for a bit and having lunch together. She never had anything important to discuss, but she seemed to enjoy it, visiting Ling Bai every three days. There were also some minor incidents, like Ling Luochen, who, for some inexplicable reason, would immediately drop whatever she was doing and rush to the soul arena to challenge Ling Bai whenever she heard he was there. She would lose repeatedly but continue to challenge him relentlessly. Several times, Ling Bai saw her on the verge of tears, her eyes welling up, but she would always appear the next day, stubbornly determined. The inner courtyard''s top sycophant, Level 5 Soul Artificer Qian Fufu, had tried to persuade Ling Luochen a few times, but all attempts failed. Out of love for his goddess, he decided to join the ranks of the repeatedly defeated. Despite being frequently beaten to a pulp, the inner courtyard students gradually noticed that they were visibly getting stronger. The number of people joining the ranks skyrocketed, and the enthusiasm of the Soul Masters and Soul Kings was like they had been injected with a shot of adrenaline. Ling Bai, confused, found himself in a daily cycle of back-to-back battles. His Spirit Combat Medal advanced two levels within three months, from white to purple, breaking the record for the fastest advancement set by Elder Mu in his youth. The dense ultimate light force of Golden Tree,bined with daily intensebat training, allowed Ling Bai''s soul power to leap from level forty-one to level forty-four in just three months. If he continued to cultivate diligently, he could even break through to the five- ringed Soul King before the Soul Master Tournament.N?v(el)B\\jnn In the early morning, as the sky was just beginning to lighten, Ling Bai had breakfast with Han Ruoru and then headed to the Inner Academy Examination Hall...

Dugu Lin, Chu Qingtian, Tai Xing, Pan Tao, and Zhou Sen arrived early at the Supervision Pavilion, and Ling Bai could faintly see the tension and unease in their eyes. It''s their first Inner Academy assessment, so being nervous is quite normal. "You look so rxed. The new student assessment task will decide whether we can continue studying at the Inner Academy. I was so anxiousst night that I didn''t meditate at all." Dugu Lin, admiring her long, emerald green nails, joked casually. Over the past three months, she had be quite close to Ling Bai, one of the few friends he had in the Inner Academy. Ling Bai stretched and rxed his muscles, smiling lightly. "No matter how anxious you are, it won''t really change anything. It''s better to rest well and conserve your energy." "You''re soid-back, kid." A hoarse, rough voice came from behind them. A hunched, elderly figure slowly emerged from the Examination Hall, with a scar running from his left eye, across his nose, and down to his jaw, almost splitting his entire face in two. "My name is Li. I will be the one to announce the new student assessment tasks and all future promotion tasks, so for those who pass this assessment, we will be seeing a lot of each other over the years." Old Li managed a smile, his tone very kind, but the look on his face made it seem rather menacing. Pan Tao, the most timid of the group, couldn''t help but take a half-step back, half of her body hiding behind Dugu Lin. Observing secretly.jpg Old Li was long used to being disliked by juniors and paid no mind to Pan Tao''s actions. He took out a dark brown, ancient wooden box filled with task slips and said, "Your seniors might have told you that the new student assessment has a significant element of luck, and that''s true. Shrek Academy has been glorious for ten thousand years, and thus has set up a total of ten thousand assessment tasks, divided into five levels: White, Yellow, Purple, ck, and Red, with difficulty increasing in that order. White-level tasks make up ten percent, ck-level tasks make up twenty percent, and the rest are mostly split between Yellow and Purple." "What about the Red-level tasks?" Chu Qingtian raised his hand high, like a student in elementary school, to ask. Old Li smiled and answered, "There are ten Red-level tasks, which make up one-thousandth of the total tasks. I''ll tell you clearly, over the past ten thousand years, tens of thousands of students have entered the Inner Academy, but only seven Shrek freshmen have drawn the Red-level task, and all of them failed without exception." "...Old Li, I don''t understand why the academy set up the Red-level tasks. Just to discourage people?" Dugu Lin''s willowy eyebrows furrowed slightly. Tasks are created to bepleted; it seems unnecessary to have tasks that are so out of reach that they are deadly for anyone who attempts them. "To filter." Old Li''s answer was simple and direct. "Inner Academy students are all part of the Shrek Supervision Corps, and the danger of carrying out supervision tasks far exceeds that of assessment tasks. Every few years, news of students falling in the fieldes back to the academy. There are many reasons for the downfall of Inner Academy students, including enemies being too powerful, their own strength being insufficient, and... "They have really bad luck." Old Li grinned, the scar that ran across his entire face twitching, making him look even more terrifying. Everyone was stunned. Bad luck counts as a reason!? "The Red-level tasks are designed to filter out that one-in-a-thousand unlucky individual, allowing them to preserve their lives and contribute to the continent in other ways. By the way, eight thousand years ago, a Sea God Pavilion master established a rule: if an Inner Academy studentpletes a Red-level task, regardless of their soul power or background, they will be a highly valued prodigy, and from then on, they will be cultivated as the next generation of Sea God Pavilion members. Danger is always apanied by opportunity; the greater the storm, the more valuable the fish. Enough talk, who wants to draw first?" Old Li shook the box in his hand, making a rustling sound. The six new Inner Academy students looked at each other, each deferring with their eyes, until a green-d figure stepped forward. "Ladies first, I won''t be shy." Dugu Lin''s fair little hand reached into the task box, and everyone watched the box opening intently, their eyes reflecting different emotions, their hearts racing. "Please don''t start with a red one." Dugu Lin teased herself. This girl was so bold that she fused with the Five Emerald Phosphorous Poisons, and her earlier im of insomnia from anxiety was just a joke. A white hand emerged, holding a slip of paper with purple ink, written in a graceful and elegant style. "Purple-level task: A group of wolf bandits has recently appeared in the Ming Tai Mountain area of the Dueling Spirit Empire. There are more than thirty of them, most at the Great Soul Master to Soul Exalted level, with their leader barely reaching the four-ringed Soul Master level. The task is to eliminate the wolf bandits, leaving no survivors, and to bring back the head of the Soul Master-level wolf bandit leader. The task deadline is ten days. Hmm, not bad luck today." Dugu Lin smiled, her face beaming. Wolf bandits are the offspring of Windstorm Demonic Wolves and humans, with wolf heads and human bodies. They possess the robust bodies of soul beasts and the advanced intelligence of humans, are cruel, and enjoy living in groups, especially liking to defile human women. Ordinary soul masters are almost helpless against them, but in the face of her emerald phosphorous poison... Have you heard of the city turning green? The emerald snake is the nightmare of low-level soul masters and soul beasts! Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Dugu Lin had set a good precedent, and the anxiety in their hearts eased somewhat. Pan Tao, the second girl, followed closely behind. Her mental resilience was far inferior to Dugu Lin''s. She closed her eyes and nervously drew a task slip, bowed three times to the air, and then slowly opened her eyes. The next second, Pan Tao jumped onto Dugu Lin, wrapping her legs around Dugu Lin''s slender waist, and eximed joyfully: "White! Yay!" The luck of the draw, a ten percent chance hit right away! "White-level task: A hundred-year-old soul beast, the Yellow Fur Rat, has been spotted in Wang Family Vige, Suyun City, Tianhun Empire. This beast frequently attacks livestock, causing significant losses to the vigers, who have reported it to the authorities. The student must kill the Yellow Fur Rat within five days of receiving the task and bring back its skin as proof." Pan Tao couldn''t suppress her upturned corners of her mouth. A mere hundred-year-old soul beast, she, a Soul Master, would easily handle it! With two girls drawing such good luck, the boys'' task drawing continued in an orderly manner. "Yellow-level task: Citizens of Liusu City, Tianhun Empire, have reported that the city lord mistreats civilians and disregards human life. The student is responsible for gathering evidence of his crimes and anonymously handing it over to the Tianhun Empire royal liaison. The deadline is seven days." "Purple-level task: The Sun Moon Empire has sent a Soul King-level spy to Metal Capital Gengxin City to investigate the smuggling of rare metals. The student must find and eliminate the spy within ten days and return to the academy with the spy''s identification." Zhou Sen and Tai Xing''s tasks were not overly difficult, matching their current skill levels, and the chances of sess were very high. Now, only Ling Bai and Chu Qingtian remained in the Examination Hall, yet to draw their tasks. Ling Bai looked at Chu Qingtian, who was trembling like a sieve, and chuckled, "Qingtian, shall I go first, or you?" "I''ll go first, I''ll go first! Ling, you gost!" Chu Qingtian immediately ran a few steps forward, shook hands with the lucky Pan Tao to absorb her good luck, and while reaching into the task box, muttered fervently: "I''ve had bad luck for over a decade. I beg Lord Tang San, Master Yu Xiaogang, and all the ancestors of Shrek Academy to bless me! I don''t ask for a white or yellow task, just a purple one!" After his prayer, Chu Qingtian drew a slip and looked at it! ck! Damn! Chu Qingtian felt as if he had swallowed a fly, his face crumpling. Although the others didn''t show it, they secretlyughed at him, thinking he must have done a lot of bad things to not even be protected by Lord Tang San and the ancestors of Shrek Academy. "ck-level task: A series of murders has urred in the Star Luo Empire. The killer peels off the victims'' facespletely... suspected to be an Evil Soul Master, codenamed Blood Face Killer. The Blood Face Killer''sst three murders were in Jinghai City, Star Luo Empire. Based on his killing habits, the academy has determined he is still in Jinghai City. The student must investigate the situation and eliminate the Blood Face Killer. The deadline is fifteen days!" Face Peeler! Evil Soul Master! Not just Chu Qingtian, even Ling Bai couldn''t help but show a slight change in expression. The Messenger of Death, three Soul King-level Evil Soul Masters with a group of low-level minions, nearly wiped out the main Shrek Seven Monsters with a super corpse explosion. As for Chu Qingtian... It''s hard to say, after all, different fields are vastly different. Ling Bai wished him sess! When Dugu Lin, Pan Tao, and the others heard Chu Qingtian''s task to face an Evil Soul Master, they all looked at him withplex expressions. Worried, sympathetic... and a bit relieved. Evil Soul Masters are strange and powerful, with a plethora of sinister and deadly moves. Every generation of Shrek Academy has seen Inner Academy students and teachers fall to Evil Soul Masters. Can Chu Qingtian return to the academy intact after fifteen days? "Qingtian, why are you shaking?" Ling Bai suddenly asked. "What? A-are you serious?" Chu Qingtian tightened his legs, his eyes wandering, his body present but his mind long gone. "Don''t be nervous. Go with peace of mind. After all, you''ll be a hero again in eighteen years." Ling Bai''s three words warmed Chu Qingtian for the whole day. Hearing this, Chu Qingtian''s spirit returned, but he became listless, like an eggnt beaten by frost, and thought to himself: Metaphysics, not possible to quit, does he really have to attend Shrek Inner Academy? "This task is one of the hardest even among ck-level tasks. Do your best, but remember to prioritize your safety." Old Li shook his head and sighed. The old man, with his extensive experience, could see from Chu Qingtian''s fearful expression that the young man''s chances of sess were slim. After a few words of encouragement, he turned to Ling Bai and said: "Come on, only you are left." In stark contrast to Chu Qingtian, Ling Bai was quite confident in his luck. He calmly stepped forward, reached into the box, drew a slip, and read it aloud in one fluid motion! "Red-level task, capture the Ten Thousand Year Medusa!" Silence, the silence of the night at Cambridge! Everyone bit their lips tightly, not daring to make a sound! "Red-level task, capture the Ten Thousand Year Medusa, deadline fifteen days. In the Yoyo Forest within the Star Luo Empire, Petrified Soul Beasts and Petrified Soul Masters have been discovered, determined to be the result of the innate soul skill, Medusa Gaze, of the nearly extinct Snake Empress Medusa. ording to Shrek Academy soul beast experts, the Snake Empress Medusa who used the innate soul skill has a cultivation level exceeding ten thousand years. I hope this unlucky (crossed out) talented Inner Academy student who drew this task will be extra cautious!" "Unlucky? Fine, fine, you''re ying with me, huh." Ling Baiughed in spite of his anger, almost wanting to transform into Cao Cao, waving his hand and shouting: Impossible, absolutely impossible! Looking at the fresh, blood-red, graceful writing on the slip, Ling Bai found it hard to ept the reality! Don''t misunderstand, it''s not that he can''t ept the Red-level task, but he can''t believe his luck is this bad! One in a thousand! How can he draw this! Damn, say you rigged it! Say it! Say it! Perhaps Ling Bai''s intense resentment startled Old Li. He coughed, put away the task box, and put on an official tone, saying, "This Inner Academy new student assessment is fair, just, and transparent. Everything depends on personal luck. Please ept reality, and don''t have any absurd suspicions!" Who are you pointing at, Old Li! Ling Bai''s face turned as ugly as if he had swallowed two flies, and Ling Mo Chuughed. Chu Qingtian, who had been holding in hisughter, couldn''t help but burst outughing. Laughter doesn''t disappear, it just shifts. The ancestors were right! Comparison can lead to despair! Yoyo Forest is one of the soul beast gathering ces on the Douluo Continent, second only ton/o/vel/b//in dot c//om the Star Dou Great Forest. It is said to be divided by a deity into two strangendscapes: perpetual daylight and perpetual night. The central area is said to be home to terrifying beasts with cultivation levels exceeding ten thousand years! Compared to Ling Bai risking his life to capture the Ten Thousand Year Snake Empress, a top- tier soul beast, in the vast Yoyo Forest, Chu Qingtian suddenly felt that the Blood Face Evil Soul Master was nothing! I can take on ten! Dugu Lin gracefully stepped forward, gently shaking Ling Bai, who had lost all worldly desires and was deeply questioning his luck. She whispered in his ear: "Ling Bai, extraordinary children are destined for extraordinary lives. I''m genuinely happy for you drawing the Red-level task!" Ling Bai''s hand crumpled the slip, turning to look into her emerald green eyes, "You better be." Dugu Lin''s fair fingertips grazed Ling Bai''s nose, smiling sweetly, "I am, and I''m super excited to see you capture the Ten Thousand Year Medusa." "Red-level task... sigh, the journey to and from Yoyo Forest will take at least four days..." Ling Bai rubbed his golden hair, his face filled with distress. The Outer Academy''s three-on- three new student assessment match was about to start. Last night, Ning Tian and Wu Feng had specially reminded him toplete the assessment as soon as possible and then go to the Outer Academy to cheer them on. They were looking forward to defeating their opponents and winning the new student championship under his witness, making a name for the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. The journey was long, and Yoyo Forest was vast. Who knew where Medusa was hiding? This time, he might have to break his promise. "All new student assessment tasks have been issued. Go and carry them out!" Old Li waved his hand and turned to disappear into the darkness of the Examination Hall. "Come on, Ling, a true warrior faces the harsh realities of life." Chu Qingtian, like a buddy, hooked his arm around Ling Bai''s shoulder. Both their task locations were in the Star Luo Empire, so they could travel together for a while. "Tsk, I advise you to take care of yourself..." (End of Chapter) Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Yoyo Forest, Safe Town, Xu Jiujiu (Part 1) Chapter 53: Yoyo Forest, Safe Town, Xu Jiujiu (Part 1) ?

The town, named for its safe entry and exit, was about four times the size of an ordinary vige. Apart from theck of a heavy defensive wall, it resembled a small city. The streets were lined with shops, bustling with activity. Ling Bai''s nce revealed that most of the shops'' main business was rted to Soul Masters, offering a wide variety of goods, such as long spears and armor forged by cksmiths, and antidotes and healing potions concocted by physicians. This was a ssic case of ''living off thend.'' Safe Town was adjacent to Yoyo Forest, and Soul Masters often replenished their supplies here before entering the forest. Ling Bai looked up at the darkening sky. Considering it was unwise to enter the forest at night, he decided to find an inn to stay in and set off for Yoyo Forest early the next morning. Safe Inn was a simple two-story wooden building. The first floor served as a restaurant for guests, while the second floor housed individual guest rooms. Ling Bai took out a translucent white film from his Storage Soul Conductor. The film was as thin as paper, with a liquid-like substance flowing within. He gently ced it over his face, and after a sh of white light, his features changed slightly. His dazzling golden hair and eyes transformed into moremon ck hair and eyes. The fifth-level Soul Conductor, Ice Silkworm Mask, was made from a mixture of rare metals, water diamonds, and ice silk from the far north. It came with a mimicry skill that could not be seen through by Soul Saints or lower ranks. Yoyo Forest was vast, and Medusa, the Snake Empress, was skilled at hiding. The Death Prison Spider Emperor''s abilities were more suitable for this situation than the Six-Winged Angel, but once activated, they would make him look too much like an evil Soul Master.N?v(el)B\\jnn On the Tang Sect Continent, evil Soul Masters were universally despised, and even passing dogs would kick them. If someone remembered his true appearance and he failed to eliminate them, it would be very troublesome. Therefore, Ling Bai spent arge sum of money to buy the Ice Silkworm Mask to avoid any future problems. "A standard room, a pot of tea, and two signature dishes." Yoyo Forest was one of thergest gathering ces for soul beasts, second only to the Star Dou Great Forest. Many Soul Masters came here to hunt soul beasts, and the inn was filled with a mix of various Soul Masters. Laughter and chatter filled the air. Ling Bai went to the front desk to ce his order and then found an empty table to sit down. Next to Ling Bai, a group of seven or eight men were seated, led by a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She had rough, yellowish-ck skin and a bulky, stout figure. Herrge face resembled a bicycle seat, and she wore a tiger-skin skirt, eating and drinking with her subordinates without a care. "Hey, Sister Luo, look!" Zhang Wu, who was toasting the leader, suddenly noticed Ling Bai. His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly reported to the leader, Luo Mei. Luo Mei took a swig of wine and rolled her eyes in annoyance, but when she followed Zhang Wu''s finger, she was momentarily stunned. Although it might seem inappropriate to describe a man as beautiful, that face was undeniably a blend of masculine and feminine allure, almost to the point of being bewitching. Luo Mei''s eyes sparkled with the excitement of a predator about to hunt. She licked her rough, dry lips. She had always used her strength to abduct handsome young men to satisfy her desires. Encountering such a rare find, she was instantly tempted, her thick, dark legs clenching and rxing as she salivated. "Sister Luo, should the brothers..." Zhang Wu chuckled, his eyes gleaming with lust. As a subordinate, his top priority was to understand the leader''s intentions. Since he was not picky about gender, he hoped to get a turn once the leader was done. "Hmm... Ah!" Luo Mei was about to nod in agreement when a sudden, intense pain struck her head, as if a sharp sword had ripped through her brain. She screamed in agony, clutching her head and falling off her chair. "Sister, what''s wrong?" The others rushed over to help her up. Supported by her subordinates, Luo Mei sat back down, her eyes meeting those of her ''prey'' across the table. "Shh-" Ling Bai raised a finger to his lips. The blood-red light that shed in his dark eyes made Luo Mei''s face turn pale. The intense pain she had just experienced made her dare not meet Ling Bai''s gaze again. She immediately lowered her head and hissed, "Shut up! Eat!" The others were baffled. Why would their usually unrestrained leader let such a fine young man go? Unbeknownst to them, Luo Mei was drenched in sweat, feeling incredibly lucky to have escaped with her life from the grip of death. Soon, the waiter brought a pot of good tea, a dish of stewed soul beast meat, and a te of Yoyo Forest''s specialty vegetables. Ling Bai slowly savored the local delicacies, paying no attention to Luo Mei and her group. Trash, not worth the effort. "Creak-" The wooden door creaked as a man and a woman entered Safe Inn. Both were of noble bearing. The man was a tall, muscr middle-aged man with a fierce, rugged appearance and muscr, exposed arms. The woman had long golden hair, skin as white as snow, clear, indifferent eyes, and lips as delicate as peach blossoms in March. She was a beauty of extraordinary grace and dignity. A true noblewoman raised in a prestigious family and her loyal guard, Ling Bai observed objectively. The man pushed open the door, scanned the inn, and said softly to the woman, "Miss Xu, the conditions in this remote town are limited. I''m afraid you''ll have to stay here for the night." Miss Xu nodded slightly, clearly not a fussy person. She smiled and said, "It''s fine, Uncle She Chong. The journey has been tiring; please go and get two rooms and some dishes for us." "Yes, Miss." She Chong went to the front desk to book the rooms and order food, while Miss Xu found an empty table. The inn was about 80-90% full, and the only unupied table was next to Ling Bai. She thought for a moment and decided to head there. To get from the door to the empty table, one had to pass by both Luo Mei''s and Ling Bai''s tables. Zhang Wu''s lecherous eyes had been glued to Miss Xu''s face, lips, and chest from the moment she entered. They were from a small border town in the Star Luo Empire and were used to bullying others with their soul power. Zhang Wu had set his sights on Ling Bai, but for some reason, Luo Mei had suddenly backed off. Now, faced with the breathtaking beauty of Miss Xu, his lust quickly overcame his already limited rationality! The moment Miss Xu passed by, Zhang Wu seized the opportunity, reaching out his hands to grab her slender, tender waist, intending to pull her directly into his arms! "Your Highness, be careful!" She Chong, who was at the front desk, shouted in rm. Ling Bai paused slightly as he picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks. Traveling had its pros and cons. Hiding one''s identity was necessary, but She Chong''s instinctive exmation had revealed a small w in their disguise. In noble families or sects, subordinates generally addressed their heirs as Young Master, Young Lady, or Miss, but ''Your Highness''... was a termmonly used for royal princes and princesses!

Zhang Wu''s wandering hands came without warning, but Miss Xu was no ordinary person. Hearing She Chong''s shout, she quickly summoned her Soul Power to push Zhang Wu away, though her body was still pushed off bnce. After a startled cry, she stumbled towards Ling Bai''s position, about to knock over his fragile table and dinner. In the critical moment, Miss Xu felt a gentle but firm hand on her back, helping her maintain her bnce and preventing her from falling. "Thank you, sir." Miss Xu steadied herself, turned around, and performed an elegant and graceful court etiquette. When she looked up to see the face of the person who had saved her, she was surprised to find a young man who looked to be in histe teens, with an unusually charming and somewhat sinister appearance. Ling Bai withdrew his hand and smiled faintly. "It was nothing. May I have the honor of knowing your name, Miss?" He was somewhat curious if Miss Xu was from one of the royal families of the Tang Sect Continent''s three major empires. Her surname was Xu-could she be from the Star Luo Empire? "I..." Miss Xu pursed her red lips, about to speak, when her guard, She Chong, rushed over and knelt on one knee, apologizing, "Your Highness, I failed to protect you! Are you hurt?" "I''m fine." Miss Xu reached out to help She Chong up, her beautiful eyes cold as she nced at Zhang Wu, who was still smirking at the next table. She said coldly, "Uncle She, it''s up to you." "Understood, Your Highness!" She Chong stood up, his stern face filled with overwhelming anger, as if he wanted to tear Zhang Wu apart! "What, you''re not convinced?" Seeing She Chong''s aggressive approach, Zhang Wu crossed his arms, showing no sign of backing down. Relying on his status as a Soul Master and his group of cronies, he had bullied countless people. Even the city lord of that small town couldn''t do anything to them, so what could a mere She Chong do? Most of the guests at the Safe Inn were Soul Masters. As the saying goes, those who dare not provoke trouble are cowards. Seeing the two about to fight, the surrounding people had no intention of mediating; instead, they began to incite the conflict, hoping for a spectacr fight. The innkeeper and the waiters were used to this; if anything was broken, they would just ask the well-off Soul Masters to pay for it. "Kid, you seem pretty confident." She Chong twisted his neck from side to side, his fists clenching with a sound like firecrackers. "I have the right to be confident!" Zhang Wu sneered, and then his Soul Power surged. He produced a kitchen knife in his hand, the de gleaming coldly, and two soul rings, one white and one yellow, rose slowly from his feet. "Great Soul Master?" She Chong was stunned for a second, thenughed bitterly. "Alright, alright, you''re the most daring Great Soul Master I''ve ever seen! I''ll consider it a reward to beat you with my Soul Power!" Before Zhang Wu could react, a shadow appeared in his field of vision. The next second, a fist the size of a vinegar bowl hit his nose, causing his body to bend into a C-shape, spin two and a half times in the air, and then fall backward, unconscious. Two beautiful arcs of blood streaked through the air from his nose. "Enough!" Seeing her subordinate beaten, Luo Mei couldn''t just sit by. She mmed her hand on the table and led her gang to surround them. They exuded a terrifying oppressive aura, with white, yellow, and purple soul rings rising in session. Three Great Soul Masters, four Soul Exalted, and one Soul Master, Luo Mei. This lineup was formidable, and in the past, it would have been enough to dominate a small inn! "Wow, so impressive..." She Chong stomped on Zhang Wu''s abdomen with his heel, ignoring the blood gushing from his seven orifices, and said coldly, "Eight fools, with your meager Soul Power, you dared to bully Your Highness? You''re asking for death!" A formidable aura suddenly erupted, and an invisible wave of energy burst outward. The Soul Masters below the Soul Exalted rank were directly knocked to their knees, dazed and confused, trying to find the source of the energy wave, only to realize it was She Chong releasing his soul rings! Yellow! Yellow! Purple! Purple! Purple! ck! ck! ck! Eight rings! Soul Douluo! Luo Mei and the others gaped in shock. Who would have thought that Zhang Wu''s attempt to flirt with a woman would end up angering a Soul Douluo! Sealed Douluo were elusive, and She Chong, a Soul Douluo, was the strongest Soul Master they had ever seen in their lives! "Come,e,e, I''ll show you some love!" She Chong''s Soul Power was an eight-foot-long snake spear, its tip as sharp as frost. He now skewered the back of Luo Mei and the others'' necks on the snake spear, like a string of sugar- coated haws, and began a frenzied spear-swinging mode! "Smack! Bang! Ouch! Ah! Oh! Spit! Dad! Mom!" The wooden floor of the inn cracked from the impact, and the cries of pain echoed continuously, making the other Soul Masters in the inn shudder, grateful they hadn''t provoked She Chong, or they might have ended up as one of the haws on the snake spear. "Sir! Sir! The inn can''t withstand your guard''s destruction!" The innkeeper and the waiter rushed out, knowing that begging She Chong for mercy would be useless, so they turned to Miss Xu, kowtowing and pleading. "Don''t worry, I''ll pay you ten times the damage." Miss Xu was not a tyrannical person. She handed the innkeeper a bag of gold soul coins. The innkeeper lightly weighed the bag, and his face lit up with surprise, his old face breaking into a flower-like smile as he bowed and said, "Hehe, I''ve always been annoyed by those ruffians. You and your guard are truly upholding justice!" She Chong''s brutal beating sent a blood-stained gold-toothed tooth spinning andnding at Ling Bai''s feet. It wobbled for a moment beforeing to a stop. Ling Bai crushed the tooth into powder and said, "Your guard is so brave, I assume you must be of noble birth. I apologize for my earlier impertinence in asking for your name. I hope you won''t hold it against me." Miss Xu''s smile was impable. She said softly, "You tter me, sir. My name is Xu Jiuer. Thank you again for your help." Xu Jiuer? Ling Bai was no fool. A fake name like that didn''t insult his intelligence. A cunning frog always touches your belly, Princess Xu Jiuer of the Star Luo Empire! The Dark Radiance Forest, with its half Eternal Day and half eternal night, is home to a vast number of light and dark attribute soul beasts. Thinking about Xu Jiuer''s Soul King strength and her Star Crown Soul Power in the Soul Master Tournament next year, Ling Bai guessed that she and She Chong would enter the Eternal Day area to hunt soul beasts for her Star Crown''s fifth soul ring. After dealing with Luo Mei and the others, She Chong, covered in blood, walked to Xu Jiuer''s side, nced at Ling Bai, and said frankly, "The ruffians have been dealt with. Please, Your Highness, move to your room, and I will send your dinner shortly." "Alright." Seeing the first floor in ruins, Xu Jiuer naturally agreed. After Xu Jiuer''s figure disappeared upstairs, She Chong looked at Ling Bai for a moment and then tossed a gold card worth 100,000 gold soul coins, saying, "Thank you for helping Your Highness. This is your reward, but I must give you a warning: don''t even think of trying to climb the socialdder!"

It would be best if Lord Guard doesn''t overstep his bounds." Ling Bai''s expression remained calm, but his words irked She Chong, who stared at Ling Bai''s face with disdain and sneered, "Hiding behind words." With that, he took the food the innkeeper respectfully presented and went upstairs. She Chong, an Eighth Rank Soul Douluo, naturally noticed that Ling Bai was wearing an Ice Silkworm Mask. However, he could only tell that Ling Bai''s current appearance was somewhat peculiar, like someone who had undergone stic surgery-knowing they had had work done but not knowing what they originally looked like. "What a pity..." Ling Bai shook his head. From both a personal and Nine Treasures Crystal Tower perspective, befriending Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire was clearly more beneficial than not. Without She Chong''s vignt defense, this would have been a perfect opportunity. "Never mind, there will be more chances. Let''s focus onpleting the mission first." Early the next morning, Ling Bai stepped out into the dawn, facing the cold frost. He officially entered the Yoyo Forest. The fresh air, mixed with the fragrance of nts, was invigorating. He stopped at the Chaos Line, the boundary between light and darkness. The hardest part of the red-level mission was not the Snake Empress''s formidable strength, nor the difficulty of capturing her alive, which was several times harder than killing her. The real challenge was finding the ten-thousand-year-old Medusa in the vast Yoyo Forest. This was one of the reasons why Ling Bai decided to forgo using the Six-Winged Angel and instead use the Death Prison Spider Emperor. "Spider Summoning." As Ling Bai''s soul power surged, pairs of crimson beast eyes lit up. Small magic spiders with bared fangs gathered densely, waiting for Ling Bai''smands. "Find Medusa and the Petrified Soul Beast." "Squeak! Squeak!" The magic spiders scattered to carry out their orders. Ling Bai advanced along the Chaos Line. The scenery of the Yoyo Forest was unique,pletely different from the Star Dou Forest. One side was warm and idyllic, while the other was dark and demonic, with light and darkness opposing each other without yielding. Ling Bai had read ancient texts about the Yoyo Forest. It was said that this ce was originally a normal soul beast forest until two super-century-old beasts were born. These two beasts, one light and one dark, regarded each other as mortal enemies. Due to their power, the soul beast forest gradually transformed into the Yoyo Forest. The Snake Empress Medusa prefers darkness and would not live in the Eternal Day. Therefore, Ling Bai focused his search on the Chaos Line and the Eternal Night, leaving ten percent of the magic spiders to explore the Eternal Day just in case. Information from the magic spiders in all directions continuously fed back to his mind. The Death Prison Spider Emperor''s three ultimate abilities, including the Spider King Sense, were activated. With each step Ling Bai took, wave-like ripples spread out, capturing every subtle change in the Yoyo Forest. Using the Spider King Sense to predict danger in advance, Ling Bai actively avoided most troublesome soul beasts. When he could not avoid them, he dealt with them. He maintained a steady, moderate pace, ensuring his soul power remained full as he carefully explored the Yoyo Forest for most of the day. "Sigh, Medusa..." The Yoyo Forest has no distinction between day and night, and people who stay here for too long gradually lose their sense of time. After a whole day of searching without any results, Ling Bai couldn''t help but feel anxious. However, the more anxious he was, the more he needed to remain calm. He stopped under a towering ancient tree, took out a meat bun from the Shrek Inner Court canteen made by Uncle Mo, and the rising temperature in his palm made the bun emit a rich aroma. Just as he took a couple of bites, Ling Bai suddenly stomped on the tree trunk and leaped into the air. The next second, sharp ck spikes shot up from the ground. He dodged and weaved, but the ck spikes pursued him relentlessly, determined to kill him! A massive spider pounced at Ling Bai, its body muchrger than an ordinary round table, with a diameter of over three meters. Its dark ck carapace was covered in gray patterns, and its bloated abdomen stored arge amount of silk. A cunning assassin, the Cave Spider! The Cave Spider and the Man-Faced Demon Spider are considered the best among spider soul beasts. However, the Cave Spider''s body is far less robust than the Man-Faced Demon Spider, and itcks thetter''s deadly neurotoxin. Its specialty is setting traps, ambushing, and killing!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Looking at the increasinglyrge Cave Spider in his field of vision, Ling Bai couldn''t help butugh. What kind of world is this? Both the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor are far superior to the Cave Spider. How dare this five-thousand-year-old Cave Spider dare to ambush the fusion of the two spider emperors, the Death Prison Spider Emperor!? Ling Bai simplynded and waited for the Cave Spider to make its move. The Cave Spider wouldn''t miss this opportunity. ck light shed on the ground, and countless spider silk threads surged out, instantly suppressing Ling Bai''s body. It was like a closed prison made of spider silk, trapping Ling Bai inside. This time, the Cave Spider''s silk was even thicker and stronger than the ck spikes it had previously released. The spider silk was coated with a special adhesive secreted by the Cave Spider, which hardened upon contact with air, making the spider silk as strong as tempered steel, forming an unbreakable prison! Soul Skill, Spider Web Cage! The Cave Spider leaves miniature spider webs around its body and can activate them at any time to form a prison. The Spider Web Cage has no warning signs when activated, and even the strongest soul masters can fall victim to it if caught off guard! The Spider Web Cage seeded, and the eight pale blue eyes on the Cave Spider''s abdomen glowed with bloodlust. It crawled to Ling Bai''s front in a few steps, and then it saw the most terrifying scene in its five-thousand-year life! Behind the seemingly meek human soul master, a towering, sinister, and eerie magic spider shadow rose. The eight crimson eyes seemed to contain mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The mere presence of a tiny bit of its aura made the Cave Spider feel weak all over, with an instinctive urge to bow and submit! "Squeak... squeak..." The Cave Spider copsed like a pile of mud. The spider emperor''s pressure from the Death Prison Spider Emperor made it lethargic and its soul power scattered. If it were a human, it would have rolled its eyes and foamed at the mouth. The Death Prison Spider Emperor''s terrifying toxins were even more potent than the Death Spider Emperor''s. Ling Bai lightly touched the prison, and the Cave Spider''s pride, its spider silk, instantly turned into a pool of foul-smelling toxic water. A burst of soul power entered the Cave Spider''s body, and after a few seconds of writhing, it fell still. A Soul Ring emitting a faint purple light floated around it. The eyes of the Death Prison Spider Emperor''s shadow lit up, and the flesh, soul, and Soul Ring were all its food. It seemed eager to break free from Ling Bai''s control and feast. Times have changed. With Ilex''s soul inmand and the absorption of the Golden Tree''s power for three months, Ling Bai could easily control the Death Prison Spider Emperor. Despite the Cave Spider''s resistance, he forcefully retracted it. "Come when called and leave when dismissed, that''s what a good soul skill should be." Ling Bai smiled in satisfaction, then his eyebrows raised slightly. "Hmm? A Petrified Soul Beast!" About eight kilometers away, a magic spider had found arge number of petrified soul beast bodies, which could very well be Medusa''sir! At the same time, the magic spiders in the Eternal Day region had also made a discovery! They had encountered Xu Jiujiu and She Chong, who were hunting a ten-thousand-year-old light-type soul beast. Based on the soul beast''s escape path, they were heading toward the Petrified Soul Beast''s location!

Despite being a descendant of the Death God with extraordinary talent, the Death Emperor Yalu never cultivates. It grows by killing and devouring other Spirit Beasts, and every thousand years, it performs a Blood Sacrifice, ughtering thousands of weaker Spirit Beasts at once. This has led to all Spirit Beasts viewing it as a mortal enemy and relentlessly hunting it, causing its poption to dwindle until it was eventually dered extinct! "It''s already outrageous that a Death Emperor Yalu lives in the Yoyo Forest, but Medusa following it around is even more absurd!" Before meeting Medusa, Ling Bai had a small fantasy that she might be as charming and awe- inspiring as the Empress Medusa from next door. He thought he might feel pity and hide his face while fighting. Now, using human terms to describe Medusa, it''s simply a beastly act, aiding and abetting evil! "Such a dense aura of death, hard to find in the world..." Ilex''s voice suddenly echoed in Ling Bai''s mind: "Kid, absorbing its Soul Ring would benefit you." The Death Emperor Yalu''s death attribute surpasses even that of the Death Spider Emperor, approaching the ultimate death of the Death Prison Spider Emperor. A Spirit Beast of this caliber is rare and hard toe by. "Thank you, Elder Yi, but you''re just being good to me at the cost of my life..." Ling Bai helplessly rubbed his forehead. His thoughts were lofty, but reality was harsh. She Chong and Xu Jiujiu were the main course for the Death Emperor Yalu, and he jumping in would be no different from offering himself as a dessert! On the battlefield, facing the descendant of the Death God, the Death Emperor Yalu, and the Queen of Snakes, Medusa, along with countless snakes ranging from a decade to several thousand years old, She Chong found no hope of survival for both of them! "Princess, I can no longer protect you and get you out of here." He was a subordinate personally trained by the Star Luo Emperor, loyal to the royal family and the princess. At this moment, his only option was to sacrifice himself to hold back these Spirit Beasts, giving Xu Jiujiu a fighting chance for survival!N?v(el)B\\jnn "Uncle She..." Tears streamed down Xu Jiujiu''s face. Despite She Chong''s many ws, he had always been devoted to her. She didn''t want to see him die, but the situation left them no choice. Two deaths versus one survival, they had to make a choice! "Jiujiu, run!" She Chong roared, his seventh Soul Ring glowing intensely. The snake spear bloomed in the air like a ck flower, transforming into a stream of light that infused his robust body. His body suddenly swelled, and a twenty-meter-long, dual-headed giant snake mmed into the ground! Seventh Spirit Skill, Spirit Weapon True Body! While ordinary weapon souls transform into their original form, She Chong''s snake spear soul, by a stroke of luck, had the ability to transform into a weaponized Spirit Beast, making it even more powerful than a Spirit Weapon True Body! The dual-headed giant snake, over twenty meters long, exuded a menacing aura as it spat ck tongues and thrashed its tail, uprooting trees. At this moment, She Chong possessed both the formidable physique of a beast soul true body and the powerful enhancement of a Spirit Weapon True Body! "It''s over." Ling Bai sighed, lowering his eyes. He left a magic spider to keep an eye on the scene and quietly departed. She Chong, filled with despair, only wanted to protect Xu Jiujiu and break through the encirclement, but he forgot a fatal issue: Medusa was the Snake Queen, and the dual-headed giant snake could not resist her Snake Queen aura. He had extinguished theirst hope of survival, which was as fragile as a candle in the wind! Sure enough, the moment Medusa saw the dual-headed giant snake, she let out a mockingugh. The countless small snakes on her head, resembling strands of hair, opened their mouths and spewed out streams of dark green mist, enveloping the dual-headed giant snake. Upon contact with Medusa''s mist, She Chong immediately felt a wave of weakness. He realized his mistake and, before being further weakened, charged towards the Death Emperor Yalu and Medusa without hesitation! Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu immediately turned and fled. If she survived, she could gather the Star Luo Empire''s vassals to avenge She Chong in the future! The snake swarm, noticing Xu Jiujiu''s escape, tried to pursue and kill her. She Chong split off one of the ck snake heads, and his fourth Soul Ring glowed, spewing a ck me that acted like a barrier, blocking all the small snakes. The intense heat and heat forced them to retreat, eyeing She Chong warily. The earth shook violently, and a grating sound echoed from the center of the snake swarm. The dual-headed giant snake was entangled with the Death Emperor Yalu and Medusa, and the entire forest was thrown into chaos by these three terrifying monsters. Ling Bai didn''t want to miss this brutal battle. As he ran, he switched his vision to the magic spider, and the raw, violent beauty of the scene unfolded before his eyes like a thousand troops charging forward. In the pitch-ck Eternal Night Zone, the three monsters were entangled, writhing madly. The Death Emperor Yalu, as the main force, used countless resilient vines to bind the dual- headed giant snake, its death force breaking through the snake scales and drilling into the flesh, rapidly consuming the dual-headed giant snake''s blood and soul power. The dual- headed giant snake, regardless of the pain, sank its sharp teeth into the flower bud on the Death Emperor Yalu''s hand and bit into Medusa''s snake hair, with ck mes seemingly spewing from its throat. She Chong''s red blood mixed with the ck blood of the two Spirit Beasts, spreading out. The Death Emperor Yalu''s vines transformed into scythes, continuously tearing the dual-headed giant snake''s skin, while the dual-headed giant snake bit off most of the Death Emperor Yalu''s hand and burned Medusa''s snake hair! "Hiss!" Seeing her precious hairpletely destroyed, Medusa flew into a rage. Her tightly closed third eye on her forehead suddenly opened, revealing a gray-white, diamond-shaped vertical pupil! Innate Soul Skill, Medusa''s Gaze! The dual-headed giant snake was struck as if by lightning, its soul power instantly chaotic. The tip of its tail began to turn a deathly gray, gradually petrifying and creeping upwards. She Chong took onest look into the distance, feeling that Xu Jiujiu had likely escaped the danger. He sighed in relief andughed bitterly: "If I die, you two beasts won''t live either!" In the next second, the dual-headed giant snake inted like a balloon, unleashing the Soul Master''s hidden reserve energy, Self-Destruction! Seeing the danger, the Death Emperor Yalu and Medusa tried to escape, but She Chong, ignoring his petrifying body, used his tworge mouths to desperately hold onto the two Spirit Beasts, determined to take them to hell with him! "Boom-" The explosion shook the heavens, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Smoke billowed, and the intense soul power fluctuations spread like ripples. The snake swarm suffered heavy casualties, with white, yellow, and purple Soul Rings too numerous to count. After a long while, the Death Emperor Yalu and Medusa reappeared. Both were covered in wounds, with the Death Emperor Yalu receiving the brunt of the attack, both arms broken, and a significant portion of its vines lost. The eye in its chest became extremely dim and murky. Medusa fared slightly better, her snake hair now bald, her neck resembling a ck egg, and half of her snake scales and tail blown off. Her blood stained arge area of the ground. Seeing so many of the small snakes die, she was filled with rage. She vaguely remembered that the human who attacked her had a femalepanion. Medusa let out a low hiss: Find that woman, and kill her on sight! All the surviving small snakes immediately scattered, searching for Xu Jiujiu. Ling Bai moved away from Medusa''sir, pondering how toplete his mission. Suddenly, he heard a sharp snake hiss, followed by a woman''s scream, a voice he recognized! Xu Jiujiu!

The Death Emperor Yalu, as the main force, used countless resilient vines to bind the dual- headed giant snake, its death force breaking through the snake scales and drilling into the flesh, rapidly consuming the dual-headed giant snake''s blood and soul power. The dual- headed giant snake, regardless of the pain, sank its sharp teeth into the flower bud on the Death Emperor Yalu''s hand and bit into Medusa''s snake hair, with ck mes seemingly spewing from its throat. She Chong''s red blood mixed with the ck blood of the two Spirit Beasts, spreading out. The Death Emperor Yalu''s vines transformed into scythes, continuously tearing the dual-headed giant snake''s skin, while the dual-headed giant snake bit off most of the Death Emperor Yalu''s hand and burned Medusa''s snake hair! "Hiss!" Seeing her precious hairpletely destroyed, Medusa flew into a rage. Her tightly closed third eye on her forehead suddenly opened, revealing a gray-white, diamond-shaped vertical pupil! Innate Soul Skill, Medusa''s Gaze! The dual-headed giant snake was struck as if by lightning, its soul power instantly chaotic. The tip of its tail began to turn a deathly gray, gradually petrifying and creeping upwards. She Chong took onest look into the distance, feeling that Xu Jiujiu had likely escaped the danger. He sighed in relief andughed bitterly: "If I die, you two beasts won''t live either!" In the next second, the dual-headed giant snake inted like a balloon, unleashing the Soul Master''s hidden reserve energy, Self-Destruction! Seeing the danger, the Death Emperor Yalu and Medusa tried to escape, but She Chong, ignoring his petrifying body, used his tworge mouths to desperately hold onto the two Spirit Beasts, determined to take them to hell with him! "Boom-" The explosion shook the heavens, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Smoke billowed, and the intense soul power fluctuations spread like ripples. The snake swarm suffered heavy casualties, with white, yellow, and purple Soul Rings too numerous to count. After a long while, the Death Emperor Yalu and Medusa reappeared. Both were covered in wounds, with the Death Emperor Yalu receiving the brunt of the attack, both arms broken, and a significant portion of its vines lost. The eye in its chest became extremely dim and murky. Medusa fared slightly better, her snake hair now bald, her neck resembling a ck egg, and half of her snake scales and tail blown off. Her blood stained arge area of the ground. Seeing so many of the small snakes die, she was filled with rage. She vaguely remembered that the human who attacked her had a femalepanion. Medusan/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om let out a low hiss: Find that woman, and kill her on sight! All the surviving small snakes immediately scattered, searching for Xu Jiujiu. Ling Bai moved away from Medusa''sir, pondering how toplete his mission. Suddenly, he heard a sharp snake hiss, followed by a woman''s scream, a voice he recognized! Xu Jiujiu!

Ling Bai thought he had missed the chance to befriend Xu Jiujiu yesterday, but just now, he felt that Xu Jiujiu was inescapable. A mere Soul King would surely not escape the pursuit of thousands of snakes. Without deliberately seeking her, he had identally encountered her! Fate, truly wondrous! However, Xu Jiujiu''s current state was rather pitiful. Facing her was a six-thousand-year-old Silver-threaded Sky Python.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The Silver-threaded Sky Python had a slender body, with a silver thread running along its ck back. Its snake mouth opened and closed, revealing sharp fangs, and droplets of venom dripped from the tips, indicating its highly excited state. The Silver-threaded Sky Python was a male soul beast, one of the most advanced in the snake pack, and he regarded Medusa, the Snake Empress, as his dream lover, having adored her for two thousand years! This time, by helping Medusa vent her anger, the Empress might be pleased and reward him with thepany of the beautiful snake! Hehe! The Silver-threaded Sky Python was overjoyed, indulging in fantasies of a blissful future, while Xu Jiujiu was in a dire situation. Her Star Crown soul skill was more supportive and controlling, simr to that of Yao Haoxuan, a disciple of the Inner Academy of Shrek Academy. However, the Star Crown provided her with far less physical enhancement than Yao Haoxuan, almost negligible. Xu Jiujiu fled, the Land of Eternal Night being shrouded in darkness. She dared not light a fire or use her Star Crown for illumination. Her exquisite and elegant clothes were torn by thorny bushes, and her delicate skin was bleeding profusely. In her panic, she had lost her storage soul conductor, and now she had to face the six-thousand-year-old Silver-threaded Sky Python. Noticing Xu Jiujiu''s plight, Ling Bai did not immediatelye to her rescue. A wise man once said: A hundred acts of adding flowers to brocade are not as good as one act of sending charcoal in the snow. He waited for Xu Jiujiu''s despair to deepen, until the world turned pitch ck. That would be the best time to act. The Silver-threaded Sky Python spat out stream of venom. Although Xu Jiujiu''sbat strength was almost zeropared to the python, her fiftieth-level soul power and heightened reflexes allowed her to roll to the side and narrowly avoid the venom. Failing to hit her, the Silver-threaded Sky Python abandoned its long-range attack and leaped into the air, its tailshing out like a whip towards Xu Jiujiu. "Boom!" Her delicate body was sent flying, crashing into a towering tree, causing leaves to rustle and fall. Xu Jiujiu''s vision blurred, and a sweet, metallic taste rose in her throat as she spat out a mouthful of blood. The Silver-threaded Sky Python became even more excited. Its seemingly boneless body swayed in front of Xu Jiujiu, its long tail wrapping around her and tightening slowly, the sound of her fragile bones creaking as they neared the breaking point! Xu Jiujiu tried to resist, but her body could no longer support her. Her beautiful eyes gradually lost their luster. At the critical moment, the Silver-threaded Sky Python suddenly let out a shrill scream. The immense force that had almost strangled Xu Jiujiu suddenly loosened, and she saw a blurry figure appear before her, like a ray of light saving the world in the midst of despair. "Miss Xu, we meet again." The voice was very familiar, as if she had heard it before. Xu Jiujiu''s gaze fell on the figure, whose body was covered in a dark purple shield armor that seemed neither scales nor armor. Eight bulges on his back writhed wildly, as if sealing something terrifying inside. "It''s you?" Xu Jiujiu recognized Ling Bai''s face and gasped. Then she saw the Silver-threaded Sky Python pounce from behind Ling Bai, its mouth wide open! ording to schrs, the lower jaw of snakes is connected to the skull only by ligaments, allowing pythons to open their mouths several times wider than their heads to swallow prey muchrger than themselves! The Silver-threaded Sky Python''s mouth was fully open,rge enough to swallow a yak! "Be careful!" Xu Jiujiu, ignoring her pain, tried to push Ling Bai away, but to her surprise, he did not budge! "Rip-" With the sound of tearing fabric, eight monstrous spider legs unfolded, their bodies a deep purple with a touch of crimson at the tips. The wind howled, and leaves drifted, casting a deathly red hue over the Land of Eternal Night! Martial Soul Embodiment, Death Prison Spider Emperor! The six-thousand-year-old snake body of the Silver-threaded Sky Python seemed as fragile as paper in front of the Death Prison Spider Emperor. One spider leg pierced through its lower jaw, prating its brain and skull. The Silver-threaded Sky Python''s consciousness faded before it could even react, wondering why it was hanging limply on a spider leg instead of swallowing the damned human! "You..." Xu Jiujiu swallowed hard, unable to speak. A ray of light saving the world in the midst of despair? Don''t be ridiculous! The sinister and deathly aura clearly belonged to an Evil Soul Master, a predator ready to devour its prey! Xu Jiujiu felt her energy drain away. She had thought she was saving Ling Bai, but now she found herself in a wolf''s den after escaping the tiger''s mouth. She closed her eyes, resigned to whatever fate awaited her. "Miss Xu, at least you should thank me properly for saving your life again. While I don''t expect you to repay me with your body, a heartfelt thank you is the least you can do." Xu Jiujiu opened her eyes and saw that Ling Bai had already retracted the Death Prison Spider Emperor, leaning against the tree and calmly looking at her. "You won''t kill me?" she asked, bewildered. Evil Soul Masters in the soul master world were associated with cruelty, bloodlust, and savagery. Based on her judgment, the Death Prison Spider Emperor was a pinnacle existence among evil martial souls, and Ling Bai should be even more bloodthirsty. Ling Bai replied calmly, "If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn''t have bothered to save you. What, you think Evil Soul Masters can''t have a moment of kindness and do good deeds?" An Evil Soul Master? A moment of kindness? How did you connect these two unrted concepts? Xu Jiujiu secretly scoffed but found some truth in Ling Bai''s words. She bent her knees slightly and performed the Star Luo Empire''s court etiquette, sincerely saying, "Thank you, sir, for saving me twice. I didn''t get to ask your namest time. May I know it now?" "Ning Bai." Honesty begets honesty, and a fake name begets a fake name. Ling Bai certainly wouldn''t foolishly tell Xu Jiujiu the truth. "By the way, why was Miss Xu being pursued by a thousand-year-old soul beast? Where are your guards?" Ling Bai asked. "He protected me... at the cost of his own life, holding back the Ten Thousand Year Medusa and the Fifty Thousand Year Nether Emperor Yaoluo!" The elder who had protected her for years died so tragically, leaving no intact body behind. Xu Jiujiu''s eyes welled up with tears, and she felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow. She wiped her tears and looked at Ling Bai. "I am now a person in distress. You have saved my life, and I cannot bear the title of ''Miss.'' Moreover, I have a request, and I hope you will agree!" "What is it?" "Please take me out of Yoyo Forest!" Xu Jiujiu knew she had no chance of escaping the snake pack''s pursuit and leaving Yoyo Forest alone. She decided to use Ling Bai''s strength to achieve her goal! Her beautiful eyes shone with determination. A princess knows what she wants, and an Evil Soul Master, no matter how wicked, is still a means to an end. Survival is the ultimate goal! "Too small, too narrow-minded!" Ling Bai spread his arms, and the subtle curve of his lips appeared dangerous to Xu Jiujiu. "You can be more daring. We can kill Medusa and the Nether Emperor Yaoluo, and then leave Yoyo Forest!"

You can also join the Geriatric Trantions Community on Discord to connect with other readers: https://discord.gg/NSWvfN7vua "Huh? Us?" Xu Jiujiu''s face was a mix of shock and disbelief, the dignity she had cultivated over years shattering in an instant. She screeched, "Death Emperor Yalu has five ten-thousand years of cultivation. Even a regr hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast can''t kill that Death God Bloodline freak, and Medusa''s Petrification Soul Skill is not to be underestimated. Even Uncle She Chong could do nothing after being hit! If we go, it''s a sure death!" "No, no, no, quite the opposite, this is a perfect opportunity for revenge!" Ling Bai shook his finger and gently persuaded, "Though Death Emperor Yalu and Medusa are powerful, their strengths lie in their death attributes and innate soul skills. Their defenses are abnormally weakpared to top-tier Spirit Beasts of the same cultivation. When Guard She Chong self- destructed, it must have dealt them heavy blows that they can''t recover from in a short time! "You don''t need to worry about Death Emperor Yalu and the snake swarm; I''ll handle them. As for Snake Empress Medusa... Miss Xu Jiujiu, I believe you can at least hold her back for a while, given her weakened state." "I..." Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu suddenly fell into deep thought, snapping out of her terrified state. Her intelligence reasserted itself. If it were true as Ling Bai said, she indeed had the ability to hold back the heavily wounded Medusa! "Will you agree? After all, you want to avenge Guard She Chong, don''t you?" Ling Bai added fuel to the fire. At the mention of She Chong, a me of revenge ignited in Xu Jiujiu''s eyes, and she replied firmly, "Alright, I''ll go with you!" In reality, she had no other choice. Without Ling Bai, she couldn''t escape the snake swarm''s encirclement! "Ling Bai, my life... I entrust it to you." She gave Ling Bai a deep look. Venturing deep into the Spirit Beast forest with an evil soul master to challenge an opponent who seemed impossible to defeat was the bravest thing Xu Jiujiu had ever done in her seventeen years. She Chong''s self-destruction had greatly weakened the two Spirit Beasts, and sessfully convincing Xu Jiujiu to share the burden gave Ling Bai even more confidence. He even had the heart to joke, "To be precise, we''re entrusting our lives to each other." "Hmm... I hope you won''t let me down." ... Eternal Night Zone, Snake Colony Lair. The sky and ground seemed to be covered in flowers, emitting a faint pinkish glow, a rare source of light in the eternal darkness. The flower sea swayed in the wind, the glow reflecting in Ling Bai and Xu Jiujiu''s eyes. The flowers seemed toe to life, swaying as if they were sensuous women dancing, their branches asionally brushing against their faces like soft, tender hands gently caressing them. Despite the beauty, a chill ran down Xu Jiujiu''s spine when she saw the wriggling snake tails emerging from the center of the closed flowers. Her stomach churned, and she almost vomited! Paradise? This ce was... hell! "Blood Sacrifice..." Ling Bai''s face was expressionless as he watched the chaotic flower sea. Due to its severe injuries, Death Emperor Yalu had prematurely initiated the once-a-millennium Blood Sacrifice, but it had not anticipated the brutality of devouring Medusa''s snake swarm! "No wonder Death Emperor Yalu is hunted by all Spirit Beasts on the Douluo Continent; it deserves it!" Xu Jiujiu pursed her red lips and exhaled, "Ling Bai, it''s not toote to back out." "Back out?" Ling Bai tilted his head slightly. Unlike his golden eyes, his eyes under the Heavenly Silkworm mask were lighter in color, especially in the eternal darkness of the Eternal Night Zone. In the darkness, his gaze had a cold, lifeless quality. "I never regret what I set out to do." As he spoke, eight grotesque purple-ck spider legs burst from his back, and the air was immediately filled with a suffocating aura of death. At the same time, a massive scythe appeared in Ling Bai''s left hand, its de curved like a crescent moon, the arc deadly and tragic. Xu Jiujiu caught a glimpse of it and was forced to close her eyes tightly by the scythe''s overwhelming sharpness. Death Prison Scythe! The Death Prison Scythe was not a transformation from the Death Prison Spider Emperor soul master form but an independent weapon, like the Angelic Holy Sword, residing in Ling Bai''s left and right arms. At this moment, Ling Bai needed its power! With the appearance of the Death Prison Spider Emperor and the Death Prison Scythe, a dim, eerie gray soul ring rose around Ling Bai''s body, pulsing rhythmically. "Your soul ring!?" Xu Jiujiu covered her mouth, forcing herself not to exim. She was not an inexperienced soul master, but Ling Bai''s surprises were too great! You''re so powerful and yet have only one soul ring, which is unprecedented and unparalleled on the Douluo Continent-a gray soul ring! "Stay calm. It''s reasonable for an evil soul master to have some eerie things. I believe you can understand." Xu Jiujiu averted her gaze and muttered, "A monster, an evil soul master among evil soul masters..." Ling Bai ignored Xu Jiujiu''s criticism. The Death Prison Scythe took the lead, with the eight spider legs assisting, like arge reaper machine cutting through the flower sea in swathes, turning it into ck dust that scattered in all directions. Xu Jiujiu, following behind Ling Bai, could only see a blurry figure moving straight ahead. In the center of the flower sea, Death Emperor Yalu''s expression changed as it sensed a living being disrupting its Blood Sacrifice! "Giggle, giggle, giggle..." Its face, eerily simr to a human''s, stretched into a wide grin. The eye on its chest glowed with excitement, an uncontroble surge of intense emotion washing over its heart! A death attribute, even stronger than its own! Swallowing ten thousand snakes couldn''tpare to swallowing that uninvited guest! A vine beneath Death Emperor Yalu rapidly extended, waking the nearby Medusa, who was resting and recovering from her injuries. Medusa shook her bald head and let out a piercing scream, summoning the few hundred snake Spirit Beasts that remained after the ughter by She Chong and Death Emperor Yalu to prepare for battle! Death Emperor Yalu spread its arms as if embracing the entire dark sky. As it chanted an eerie incantation, the flower sea began to grow wildly, with pink and ck flowers blooming inpetition. Figures emerged from the flower sea, gradually bing more solid! Death Emperor Yalu''s Innate Realm, the Land of the Undead! Activating the Death God Bloodline, it summoned all the souls of the beings it had sacrificed over the past fifty thousand years to fight for it! The Blood Sacrifice urred once every thousand years, each time ughtering thousands of Spirit Beasts. The fifty thousand years of umtion made Death Emperor Yalu''s resources incredibly rich. In an instant, the flower sea was filled withyers uponyers of Spirit Beast souls, like a tidal wave engulfing the outside world! "Boom-" The expansion of the Land of the Undead suddenly halted, as another Innate Realm erupted! The Land of the Undead charged forward, only to collide with an imprable wall, causing it to recoil with a bloody nose. The flower sea abruptly withered, and the cries of the Spirit Beast souls filled the air. They felt their souls gripped by Death, with a bloodthirsty demon breathing coldly on the back of their necks! Death Prison Spider Emperor''s Innate Realm, the Realm of Death! The Realm of Death was filled with the ultimate aura of death. The user''s attributes increased by fifty percent, while the enemy''s attributes decreased by thirty percent, with double the effect on undead creatures and souls. The user''s soul power, except for maintaining the Realm of Death, did not consume any more. The three ultimate talents of the Death Prison Spider Emperor had evolved! The Realm of Death crushed the Land of the Undead, expanding to cover the entire forest. The overwhelming dominance of the ultimate death aura enveloped thend, with Death Emperor Yalu taking the brunt of it! For the first time, Death Emperor Yalu''s expression showed shock and rage. Its eyes, nowpletely crimson, shed fiercely with Ling Bai''s. It was the true descendant of Death, the iparably noble Death Lord! The usurper must face the ultimate punishment! Death Emperor Yalu''s innate soul skill, Execution! The power of the Death God Bloodline surged into Death Emperor Yalu, and the vines beneath it grew spikes and des, transforming from beautiful flowers into lethal weapons,bining violence and beauty! The souls of the dead made way for Death Emperor Yalu, and those who couldn''t dodge were instantly cut to pieces. The eye in the center of Death Emperor Yalu''s chest was bloodshot, and under the dual pressure of Death Emperor Yalu and the Death Prison Spider Emperor, the Spirit Beast souls knelt in submission! Death Emperor Yalu''s Execution pierced Ling Bai''s chest, the vine drilling into him like a spinning drill, pushing him forward. The death corrosion on the vine could kill a ten- thousand-year Spirit Beast in a fraction of a second! Blood sttered from Ling Bai''s body like broken red silk, but his movements were unaffected. The dim light cast on the ck scythe revealed a faint, blood-red glow, and the Eternal Night Zone was illuminated by a blinding spark! The sound of metal shing filled the air as two death storms repeatedly collided, earth and broken flowers flying in the chaos. Ling Bai and Death Emperor Yalu exchanged nces countless times, each viewing the other as an irreconcble enemy! Death Emperor Yalu''s Execution, once unstoppable, was now causing its mindset to copse. Its defenses were weak, and the close-range self-destruction by She Chong had left it severely injured, greatly reducing its strength. It had only just recovered to about fifty percent of its fighting capacity through the Blood Sacrifice of the snake swarm, but the internal injuries were gradually umting, like a tightly wound spring ready to snap at any moment! Having already pushed its death attribute and strength to the extreme, Death Emperor Yalu stared intently at the human bleeding profusely. If it could speak humannguage, it would have desperately asked Ling Bai: Aren''t you in pain yet! Aren''t you... dead yet! Ling Bai''s response was simple and brutal. He swung the Death Prison Scythe, plunging it into the eye in the center of Death Emperor Yalu''s chest, its most vulnerable spot! The reason he could withstand Execution and exchange injuries with Death Emperor Yalu was due to another ultimate talent of the Death Prison Spider Emperor: Undying Body! In its normal state, pain was greatly reduced, and recovery was significantly increased, with physical strength and toughness far exceeding that of a soul master of the same level! Within the Realm of Death, the talent evolved, ignoring pain and remaining undying until a single blow could destroy the entire body! Death Emperor Yalu''s vulnerable spot was heavily injured, and it was pushed back by the monstrous force of the scythe, leaving a deep trail of blood in the earth, with soil and broken flowers flying everywhere! Seeing her leader at a disadvantage, Medusa panicked and ordered the remaining snakes to launch a surrounding attack. The third eye on her forehead opened, and her innate soul skill, Medusa''s Gaze, was ready to be unleashed! Medusa''s Gaze had an extremely strong and persistent destructive force. Once it hit the enemy, the petrification power would disrupt the soul power flow, until the soul power waspletely drained, turning the target into a peculiarly shaped stone. At this moment, a beam of beautiful starlight descended, and Xu Jiujiu appeared, a magnificent crown made of countless gems on her forehead! The Star Luo Empire''s royal lineage soul master, the Star Crown! The fourth purple soul ring shone brightly, and a brilliant starlight burst forth, forming a cage that descended from the sky and trapped Medusa! The fourth soul skill of the Star Crown, Star Protection! Medusa was shocked and, upon seeing Xu Jiujiu, her anger red, and Medusa''s Gaze instantly changed targets! "Boom-" The grayish-white petrification beam bombarded the barrier of Star Protection, causing a faint ripple! Star Protection had an additional effect: Attribute Istion! Medusa''s Gaze became a pure soul power attack, and with Medusa''s current injuries, it was powerless against Xu Jiujiu''s Star Protection! Ling Bai had insisted on bringing Xu Jiujiu along, valuing the Attribute Istion of the Star Crown soul master. Although he could fight the heavily injured Death Emperor Yalu with the full release of the Death Prison Spider Emperor''s talents, having Medusa lurking and ready tounch petrification beams would have made it difficult for Ling Bai to take on both and arge group of snake Spirit Beasts! She Chong''s self-sacrifice hadid the groundwork, and Xu Jiujiu''s Star Protection provided the necessary restraint, creating a possibility for Ling Bai to defeat Death Emperor Yalu! Ling Bai was satisfied with Xu Jiujiu''s timely intervention, and Xu Jiujiu''s heart was filled with waves of shock! She had never seen an ultimate soul master, but she could sense the overwhelming power of the Death Prison Spider Emperor and the Innate Realm, the Realm of Death, which suppressed Death Emperor Yalu''s Land of the Undead. She marveled at how the heavens favored this evil soul master! The only thing to be grateful for was that he was not nearly evil enough, or the continent would have suffered greatly... Xu Jiujiu held back Medusa, but the snakes, unable to resist, charged at Ling Bai like mad, the earth filled with a strong, pungent smell! Her long hair whipped around as Ling Bai, with the Death Prison Scythe in his left hand, stared at the surging snake swarm, his crimson eyes filled with a bloodthirsty desire! The ck scythe sliced through the air in graceful arcs, like the Grim Reaper taking lives. The heads of young snakes were severed, and therger thousand-year-old pythons crashed to the ground, their severed heads still twitching as the thin, blood-red snake skin clung to their bodies. The pythons, still reacting to the severed nerve, waited for death, with white, yellow, and purple soul rings scattered everywhere. The lives of Spirit Beasts were as fragile as grass. Kicking away the heavy corpse of a thousand-year-old forest boa that blocked his path, Ling Bai felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His body and soul power were reaching their limits. He had to end this quickly! With this thought, Ling Bai made a decision. The terrifying shadow of the Death Prison Spider Emperor suddenly appeared, its eight crimson eyes smiling contentedly before the meal. The hundreds of soul rings from the snake swarm poured into the Death Prison Spider Emperor''s body, and Ling Bai''s soul power surged! The third ultimate talent of the Death Prison Spider Emperor: Soul Devouring! Derived from the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, it consumed souls and soul rings to gain power, a talent worthy of an evil soul master! Ultimate death, Soul Devouring, Undying Body, Spider Emperor''s, Death Prison Scythe, Innate Realm Realm of Death, Raksha Evil Power, allbined to form the second evil soul master, the Death Prison Spider Emperor!

The Land of Eternal Night was holding a grand funeral! Death Emperor Yalu screeched and roared, attempting to mask the panic surging in its heart. It had already sensed something amiss; its proud Death God Bloodline was trembling like never before. Just the sight of the increasingly sinister and malevolent figure across from it made it want to beg for mercy and kneel in submission! Wild grass-like fear washed over Death Emperor Yalu''s heart, but soon a more intense emotion arose, overpowering the fear-it was rage! Death Emperor Yalu''s eyes zed with fury. Thest vestige of pride in the Death God Bloodline made it raise its battle g once more. All the vines shed a metallic, cold color, like iron chains, rushing towards Ling Bai, whose aura had reached its peak! However, after the Death Prison Spider Emperor devoured hundreds of Soul Rings from the snake swarm, Ling Bai''s soul power had surged,pletely restoring to its peak state, even surpassing it! Raising the scythe, cutting down, shattering, annihting! The Death Prison Scythe struck the vines, bursting into brilliant sparks. Death Emperor Yalu''s vision could no longer keep up with Ling Bai''s ghostly speed-it was unable to resist, unable to grasp! "Swoosh-" The Death Prison Scythe pierced through the strange eye in the center of Death Emperor Yalu''s chest. In the next moment, the once glorious ten-thousand-year soul beast''s body spewed scalding hot blood, forming a crimson, tragic flower on the ground! "Boom!" A massive explosion echoed. This time, the Death Prison Scythe split open Death Emperor Yalu''s chest, revealing a pulsating, blood-red heart! Ling Bai felt no mercy for his prey. The eight Dead Prison Spider Spears behind him lifted and fell simultaneously, piercing the soul beast''s heart with eight gruesome holes. Blood trickled out in streams, and Death Emperor Yalu''s vitality drained away. In its final moments, it stared at Ling Bai''s face, as if trying to etch this hatred into its bones, to remember it in the next life! As the ferocity in Death Emperor Yalu''s eyes gradually faded, a deep, ck Soul Ring slowly condensed in the air. This Soul Ring''s quality rivaled that of most soul beasts with eight or nine ten-thousand-year cultivation! The battle was not yet over. Ling Bai endured the pain of his soul power exceeding its limits and turned his attention to Medusa, the Snake Empress, who had just broken through the Star Protection and was trying to sneak away. Medusa fled madly. Although Death Emperor Yalu was only a five-ten-thousand-year-old monster, with the Death God Bloodline''s enhancement and the innate domain of the Land of Eternal Night, there were few soul beasts under ten thousand years that could steadily defeat it. That''s why Medusa dared to risk the destruction of her n by colluding with it. Now that her support had fallen, what else could she do but escape! Cruel reality often deals a heavy blow to those who indulge in fantasies. Medusa suddenly felt her left side be much lighter and looked down in surprise. It turned out her left arm had vanished for no apparent reason. The problem wasn''t... the problem was huge! Medusa''s heart turned to ice. She instinctively swung her right arm, only to find it had lost sensation. Trying to elerate with her snake tail, she stumbled and fell into the mud. Three meters away, her severed tail continued to twitch. Even ants strive to survive, let alone a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. Medusa''s survival instinct exploded, and even if she had to be a snake pig, she still struggled like a maggot, inching forward until a foot stepped on her back. Medusa struggled to turn her head and saw Ling Bai looking down at her. For a moment, she felt a sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu. Not long ago, the little snakes that Death Emperor Yalu had forcibly blood-sacrificed had also tried to escape but were ultimately swallowed by the flower sea, bing nourishment for Death Emperor Yalu. Looking at it this way, her fate was no different from the little snakes-bing a Soul Ring for a human soul master to break through their limitations. Medusa did not have Death Emperor Yalu''s stubbornness; she resigned herself to her fate, giving up any resistance. However, Ling Bai''s expression was very cold. The eight spider spears were razor-sharp, and the snake scales and bones were as fragile as paper before the Death Prison Spider Emperor. The spider spears urately pierced Medusa''s vital organs, injecting a poison several times more potent than the Death Prison Spider Emperor''s venom. Capturing her alive meant leaving a breath, but to be safe, Ling Bai had to cut off Medusa''s will to struggle. He deliberately controlled the spread of the Death Prison Spider Emperor''s venom, keeping Medusa in a state of intense pain, unable to muster any soul power. Four dayster, she turned into a pool of toxic water. Storing the nearly unrecognizable Medusa in the Storage Soul Conductor, Ling Bai sat down against a tree. His body was covered in blood, with various ghastly wounds on his abdomen. The Death Prison Spider Emperor''s innate domain, the Land of Eternal Night, was lifted, and the pain from his wounds instantly surged through his nerves, overwhelming his mind. The sudden, intense pain was no less severe than the cruelest torture, but Ling Bai''s face showed no emotion rted to pain. He sat alone under the tree, gazing at the dark, lightless sky of the Land of Eternal Night. In Ling Bai''s unrelenting gaze, Xu Jiujiu entered his field of vision without noticing. She paused slightly, pursing her lips as if in thought, then decided to approach. She tore a strip of cloth from her clothes and carefully wiped the blood from Ling Bai''s hands, leaving no trace. Then she meticulously treated the wounds on his abdomen and chest. Ling Bai''s initially irritated mouth curved into a slight smile. This princess still has a bit of conscience. "Done, very perfect!" Fifteen minutester, Xu Jiujiu pped her hands, examining Ling Bai, who now resembled a mummy, and nodded in satisfaction. Ling Bai stiffly stood up, with only one thought in his mind. Oh no, I''ve been tricked! Princess Xu Jiujiu is no good at bandaging! Perhaps Ling Bai''s unmasked regret was too obvious. Xu Jiujiu turned her head to hide her embarrassment and said stubbornly, "It''s my first time, so I''m not very skilled. Don''t worry, I''ll definitely improve next time!" "I suspect you''re cursing me, but I have no evidence." Ling Bai moved his arms, slowly walking towards Death Emperor Yalu''s ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. He had gone through great lengths and risked his life to hunt this top-tier soul beast; he couldn''t afford to miss it. The process of absorbing the Soul Ring went smoothly. Death Emperor Yalu''s soul tremor served as a post-meal dessert for the Death Prison Spider Emperor. After eating the Soul Ring and the resentment, the Death Prison Spider Emperor was stuffed for the night, and its eyes in the sea of spirit looked at Ling Bai with a much clearer expression. Ling Bai opened his eyes, a hint of brilliance shing in them. A ck Soul Ring appeared on the lonely gray Soul Ring, emitting an extremely dangerous soul power fluctuation.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om At the same time, Ling Bai''s soul power advanced from level 44 to level 46, partly from Death Emperor Yalu and partly from the additional effect of his ultimate talent, Soul Devouring. The reason Evil Spirit Souls are called Evil Spirit Souls is because they possess the ability to devour and ughter life to increase soul power, such as Blood Baby Douluo harming infants, Death God Puppet killing to capture souls, and so on. The Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor can both be called Evil Spirit Souls in today''s Douluo Continent, let alone their fusion, the Death Prison Spider Emperor. If the Death Prison Spider Emperor hadn''t cut off most of the energy from the Soul Rings of the snake swarm, Ling Bai would have gained only a tiny fraction from its nail crevices. Otherwise, this battle alone would have boosted Ling Bai''s soul power to the Soul King level! Ling Bai preferred the Death Prison Spider Emperor to be a bit more greedy. After all, effortless gains are addictive, and many evil soul masters fall into depravity after identally killing someone and easily gaining a massive boost in soul power. The initial thrill leads to repeated actions, growing bolder each time until they can''t stop! Feeling the leap in his soul power, Ling Bai silently resolved to use Soul Devouring less or not at all in the future to avoid leaving any hidden dangers! After absorbing the Soul Ring, the next step was to dissect the soul beast and open the soul bone blind box. After a series of intense operations, Ling Bai looked at the empty soul beast corpse in deep thought. Really, I''m going to lose it! A soul beast like Death Emperor Yalu not dropping a soul bone?! What''s going on? Who''s the problem here? Ling Bai deeply considered the feasibility of finding an Imperial Auspicious Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest to borrow luck. After several simtions, he decided to abandon the idea. It wasn''t that the great beasts were too formidable; it was that the Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Turtle was more cost-effective! "We should leave now." Havingpleted the inner courtyard assessment task, Ling Bai needed to return to Shrek Academy to watch Ning Tian and Wu Feng''s Freshman Competition of the Outer Academy. To be honest, under fair conditions, Ling Bai didn''t expect Ning Tian''s team to win the championship. Wu Feng''s limited martial and intellectual abilities,bined with Nanmen Yun''er''s drag in high-level matches, meant that if they faced Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin''s teams, Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun''er wouldn''t stand a chance against Tang San''s daughter and the dual soul beast Xiao Xiao, let alone Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie. Even with the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower''s enhancement, Ning Tian''s team would struggle to match the two teams'' soul fusion techniques, the Golden Path and the Netherworld White Tiger. "I hope they can win..." Ling Bai had grown up with Ning Tian and Wu Feng and knew that Ning Tian''s pride was far greater than Wu Feng''s. The good upbringing of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s master prevented her from saying hurtful words to their faces, but if they lost, Ning Tian would likely be in a funk for a long time. "Where did Xu Jiujiu go?" Ling Bai scanned the area but couldn''t find Xu Jiujiu. Activating the Spider Emperor''s perception, he discovered that Xu Jiujiu was squatting under a tree, busy with something and muttering to herself. As he approached, Ling Bai heard her words clearly: "Uncle She Chong, Jiu Jiu will always remember your sacrifice. The soul beasts that killed you have all been punished. May you rest in peace..." Xu Jiujiu had built a small tomb and erected a stone monument, inscribed with sixrge characters: Guard of She Chong. Seeing this, Ling Bai immediately put away his smile. Few can truly forgive and forget, but death is like the extinguishing of amp, and past grievances should be let go. Moreover, there was no deep enmity between them. If Ling Bai had been in She Chong''s position, he would have simrly prevented any ill-intentioned strangers from approaching Xu Jiujiu. "Did you finish?" After paying respects to She Chong, Xu Jiujiu looked at Ling Bai with a gaze that seemed to see a monster. Absorbing a five-ten-thousand-year Soul Ring in less than half an hour was outrageous! Ling Bai nodded slightly and said, "Let''s go, Miss Xu. We should leave Yoyo Forest." Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu''s eyebrows furrowed, and she said unhappily, "I told you not to call me Miss Xu!" "Then should I call you Princess Jiu''er?" When Xu Jiujiu restrained Medusa, she had exposed her Star Crown, which was well-known to be the Star Luo Empire''s royal soul beast. This title was indeed fitting. "Whatever!" Xu Jiujiu tossed her long hair and stomped off, indignant. An evil soul master was ying with her, and the mocking expression on his face was obvious! Royal disciples are skilled at reading people, and after fighting and bleeding together, Xu Jiujiu felt she understood a bit of Ling Bai''s character. He was gentle and humorous outside of battle and could take a joke, to the point where she sometimes forgot he was an evil soul master. "Awooo-" A long, distant wolf howl echoed. The two exchanged nces and saw the same confusion in each other''s eyes. The only wolf soul beast in Yoyo Forest was the Luminous Silver Wolf, but they lived in the Eternal Day Zone and would never enter the Land of Eternal Night! The one Xu Jiujiu and She Chong encountered was an exception, as it had led them into a trap with the intention of dying. A faint silver light flickered, and the Spider Emperor''s perception told Ling Bai that the Luminous Silver Wolf''s cultivation was simr to the previous one, just breaking through to ten thousand years. "Hmm? Something''s not right. Luminous Silver Wolves are purely silver, but this one seems to have a faint golden glow!" Ling Bai noticed the anomaly and whispered to Xu Jiujiu. "I know! It''s a variant of the Luminous Silver Wolf, the Radiant Star Silver Wolf!" Xu Jiujiu''s face visibly flushed, and her voice trembled involuntarily. "ording to the ancient records of the Star Luo royal family, only one Radiant Star Silver Wolf is born out of ten thousand Luminous Silver Wolves! The Radiant Star Silver Wolf is born under starlight and wields the power of the sun, moon, and stars. It is the most suitable soul beast for the Star Crown soul beast, without a doubt!" In her excitement, she forgot her feminine reserve and royal dignity, tightly gripping Ling Bai''s sleeve, her eyes shining with excitement. "Ling Bai, help me kill it! Absorbing the Radiant Star Silver Wolf''s Soul Ring will surpass all past royal family members in quality!" "That impressive?" Ling Bai lightly stroked his smooth chin. Xu Jiujiu''s words were not exaggerated. Some Soul Rings couldpletely transform a soul beast, like the Golden Tortoise Shell helping the Mystic Turtle Shield awaken its bloodline and evolve into the Xuanwu Turtle! The Radiant Star Silver Wolf for the Star Crown was simr to the Golden Tortoise Shell for the Mystic Turtle Shield, and its importance was self-evident! At ten thousand years of cultivation, the Radiant Star Silver Wolf, no matter how strong, couldn''t surpass Death Emperor Yalu. Ling Bai could easily handle it, but he didn''t want to satisfy Xu Jiujiu so easily. He seriously said to her: "I''ll help you, but I can''t do it for free." "Why are you talking about conditions at a time like this!" Xu Jiujiu stomped her foot in anger but forced herself to say, "Help me quickly, and when we return to Star Luo City, I''ll give you a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone!" "I''m not interested." Ling Bai shook his head vigorously. "Just tell me what you want, and I swear by the credibility of the Star Luo royal family that I''ll give it to you!" Xu Jiujiu raised three fingers in a vow. She was nearly driven crazy by Ling Bai. Missing the Radiant Star Silver Wolf would make her want to p herself awake at midnight! Ling Bai revealed his true intentions and said, "Alright, then say, ''Young Master, please kill the soul beast.""" Xu Jiujiu: ??? Fine, fine, are you really an evil soul master?

"Young Master, please kill the Spirit Beast!" "Alright." Ling Bai watched as the woman''s pale earlobe gradually turned red, and he promptly decided to back off. This wasn''t out of malice but a deliberate move to nt a seed in her heart, leaving a deep impression. Interpersonal rtionships were an art. While it was important to build a good rtionship with Xu Jiujiu, he had to know when to stop. Acting like apdog would make her look down on him. Asking for a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone as payment made it seem like a fair transaction, leaving no debts between them. Requesting Young Master to kill a Spirit Beast was as memorable as the awkward punishment in a friend''s game. Xu Jiujiu would definitely remember this and understand that she owed Ling Bai a favor, making it easier for him to make future requests. Ling Bai achieved his goal and dashed toward the Radiant Star Silver Wolf like a phantom. Xu Jiujiu stood in ce, her cheeks still flushed. Her small fists hung by her sides, clenching and unclenching, with veins appearing and disappearing. Young Master''s request to kill the Spirit Beast had left her feeling utterly humiliated! "For Soul Power... For a Soul Ring... It''s just a few words... What''s the big deal... A woman like an eagle can bend and stretch..." Xu Jiujiu tried to convince herself, delivering a final heavy punch to a tree trunk. No, this woman like an eagle couldn''t swallow this indignation! She would take her revenge someday! Xu Jiujiu made a solemn vow in her heart, determined to make Ling Bai willingly call her Princess someday. Just as Xu Jiujiu was racking her brain to figure out how to implement her Princess Rise n, Ling Bai appeared before her, dragging a half-dead Ten-Thousand-Year Radiant Star Silver Wolf. Ling Bai''s expression was rxed and cheerful, perfectly fitting the situation. The gap between a Ten-Thousand-Year Radiant Star Silver Wolf and a Fifty-Thousand-Year Dark Emperor was like that between a primary school student and a college student. The battle process was simple and brutal, divided into three steps: the Death Prison Spider Emperor possessed Ling Bai, who then pummeled the Radiant Star Silver Wolf, finishing the job and returning in glory. "Here, the Spirit Beast." Ling Bai tossed the severely injured Radiant Star Silver Wolf to Xu Jiujiu, who took out a dagger and swiftly ended its life by stabbing it through the eye and into the brain. A ck Soul Ring floated up. Looking at the hard-earned Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, Xu Jiujiu''s eyes were filled with aplex mix of joy, sorrow, anger, and relief. For this Princess, the journey to obtain her fifth Soul Ring had been fraught with twists and turns, thrilling and dangerous. The Luminous Silver Wolf had set a trap with its life, Guardian She Chong had self-destructed, she had narrowly escaped death multiple times, encountered the treacherous Evil Soul Master, battled the Death God''s Bloodline, Queen of the Ten Thousand Snakes, and sessfully avenged She Chong. Surviving such a great cmity, she had finally obtained the coveted Radiant Star Silver Wolf Soul Ring. After a moment of reflection, Xu Jiujiu sat cross-legged on the ground and released her Soul Power Star Crown. The four yellow, yellow, purple, and purple Soul Rings rose, and a faint golden soul power guided the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring to the fifth position on the Star Crown. While protecting her, Ling Bai didn''t forget to open the Spirit Beast blind box. After the brutal dismemberment, he found himself empty-handed once again. "Fine, fine, fine!" Ling Bai had nothing to say, resolving to find someone else to help him next time to get a Soul Bone! Perhaps due to a suitable cultivation level andpatible attributes, Xu Jiujiu absorbed the Radiant Star Silver Wolf smoothly, experiencing almost no pain. After two hours, Xu Jiujiu slowly woke up. The Radiant Star Silver Wolf had been integrated into her Star Crown, and her soul power had broken through to level 51. Seeing the five bright and vibrant yellow, yellow, purple, and ck Soul Rings pulsating, a charming smile yed on her red lips. "Let''s go." Xu Jiujiu put away her Soul Ring and said softly to Ling Bai. "Alright." suddenly issued an unprecedented Ling Bai nodded, and just then, the Spider Emperor''s warning. At the same moment, Ilex roared in the sea of consciousness: "Kid, danger!" The Death Prison Spider Emperor immediately possessed Ling Bai, and eight spider spears pierced the ground with a hiss. Ling Bai grabbed the bewildered Xu Jiujiu, and the spider spears bent like springs, forming an exaggerated arc, propelling them forward like an arrow from a bow! "Hey, what are you doing?" Xu Jiujiu said in confusion, struggling to turn her head to look at Ling Bai, who was holding the back of her neck, trying to understand why he had suddenly gone crazy. Ling Bai had no time to exin. His soul power erupted to the extreme as he ran for his life, using the Spider Emperor''s to locate the source of the danger! The sky! A massive golden light column over a kilometer in diameter, radiating an incredibly dense aura of light, seemed to originate from the core area of the Land of Eternal Day, the base of the Luminous Silver Wolf n! Wherever the light column passed, the clouds in the sky were forcibly dispersed, and the darkness that had umted in the Land of Eternal Night for countless years was instantly purified by half. The dark-attribute Spirit Beasts trembled in fear, and those with lower cultivation levels fainted, soiling themselves. The Land of Eternal Night was filled with wails, as light was the harbinger of their doom! Ling Bai was certain that the light column was the work of one of the two emperors of the Yoyo Forest, the ruler of the Land of Eternal Day, the Luminous Wolf Emperor, whose cultivation was at least two hundred thousand years! "Is that Radiant Star Silver Wolf rted to the Luminous Wolf Emperor? Could they be father and son..." Ling Bai''s tone carried a hint of mncholy and helplessness. The Luminous Wolf Emperor''s true form was a one-in-a-million Radiant Star Silver Wolf mutant, and his guess was probably spot on! The Soul Ring was the vessel of a Spirit Beast''s soul. When the Luminous Wolf Emperor sensed his child''s soul disappear, he immediatelyunched a vengeful strike at the ce where the Radiant Star Silver Wolf had vanished! The Luminous Wolf Emperor''s innate soul skill, Radiant Holy Light! The massive column of Radiant Holy Light was closing in, and the intense light and heat made Ling Bai and Xu Jiujiu''s hair curl and their clothes start to melt! Before the holy light descended, Ling Bai flipped his hand and pulled out a white film, muttering, "This time, we''re really in trouble..." "Boom-" The Radiant Holy Light exploded with a thunderous roar, and the scorching heat wave struck the ground, creating a zing golden sphere. The righteous power of light swept through a ten-mile radius in the Land of Eternal Night! Wave after wave of light washed over the Land of Eternal Night, as if a sea of light had emerged. A giant wolf stood proudly in the midst of it! The Luminous Wolf Emperor! With a cultivation of 290,000 years! The second-strongest Spirit Beast onnd, just below the ten great ferocious beasts! The Luminous Wolf Emperor''s proportions were simr to those of the Radiant Star Silver Wolf, but his body was several timesrger,pletely golden, and just like his name, he was a radiant sun pouring out light. "Howl-" The Luminous Wolf Emperor let out a mournful howl, and the wolves in the Land of Eternal Day responded with long howls, causing the Yoyo Forest to tremble! "Radiant Light?" A hoarse and fierce voice drowned out the howls, and a figure appeared opposite the Luminous Wolf Emperor, coldly saying, "Invading my territory, are you looking for death?" The ruler of the Land of Eternal Night! The Luminous Wolf Emperor''s arch-nemesis! The Shadow Wolf Emperor!

You can also join the Geriatric Trantions Community on Discord to connect with other readers: https://discord.gg/NSWvfN7vua The Shadow Wolf Emperor was entirely dark purple, its body almost a perfect match to the Luminous Wolf Emperor''s. However, its beast eyes were as deep and dark as an abyss, seeming to devour all light, heat, and life when they moved. It made no effort to hide its hostility toward the Luminous Wolf Emperor, and the darkness that had been dispelled by the radiant holy light was gradually re-forming. The Luminous Wolf Emperor had long grown ustomed to the Shadow Wolf Emperor''s mockery and provocations. He slowly said, "Abyss, my child Radiant Star is dead, killed in the Land of Eternal Night." The Shadow Wolf Emperor''s pupils contracted slightly. No wonder the Luminous Wolf Emperor was so enraged. It knew how much Radiant Star, the Silver Wolf, was favored by the Radiant Light. He was the only son to inherit the Wolf Emperor Bloodline! The Luminous Wolf Emperor had only a thirty percent chance of breaking through the Third Great Limitation. If the Luminous Wolf Emperor were to fall, Radiant Star, the Silver Wolf, would surely ascend to the throne of the Wolf Emperor! Anyone who dared to harm Radiant Star, the Silver Wolf, was incredibly bold! "Radiant Star left the Eternal Day and deserved to die! Radiant Light, leave the Land of Eternal Night immediately, or don''t me me for being unfriendly." Knowing the reason for the incident didn''t mean allowing the Luminous Wolf Emperor to act recklessly in the Land of Eternal Night. The Shadow Wolf Emperor issued a warning, the darkness around the Luminous Wolf Emperor growing denser and more enveloping. "Is that what you think?" The Luminous Wolf Emperor seemed somewhat taken aback, sighing with disappointment. "We are of the same mother, with the same Chaos Blood flowing in our veins. Abyss, the dark mutation led to Father expelling you from the n. You hate him deeply, so you and I have divided the territory. It''s fine; I can give you thend you like and restrain the n members from disturbing you. Radiant Star is my child, with the same bloodline as you, and he was innocent." "Enough rambling!" Resentment shed in the Shadow Wolf Emperor''s eyes as it roared, "That old thing was lucky to die in the Third Great Tribtion. Don''t mention him to me again. Half the territory is mine by right, whether you give it or not, it''s mine! I have one question for you: Have you dealt with the murderer of Radiant Star?" The Luminous Wolf Emperor shook his head. "The murderer''s aura suddenly vanished in a strange way. I don''t know if he died or fled." "Worthless!" The Shadow Wolf Emperor cursed, "Have you been cultivating for over two hundred thousand years, only to end up like a dog?" The Luminous Wolf Emperor looked at it deeply and said, "Radiant Star''s death was an ident, and the n has no suitable heir. Brother, take care. After all... if I die in the Heavenly Tribtion, you will need to take on the responsibility and return to lead the n." The Shadow Wolf Emperor snorted coldly, refusing to acknowledge the Luminous Wolf Emperor. Seeing this, the Luminous Wolf Emperor turned and left the Land of Eternal Night, his tall and strong body now seeming slightly hunched. Staring intently at its brother''s departing figure, the once mighty emperor was now inevitably in his twilight years. The ground beneath the Shadow Wolf Emperor suddenly cracked, sending stones flying and dust into the air, with crack-like fissures spreading far and wide. "Go and investigate! Who killed Radiant Star!" It ordered therge group of dark-attribute Spirit Beasts gathered behind it, then swung its tail and returned to the core area of the Land of Eternal Night. As the two great beasts and the numerous dark Spirit Beasts gradually dispersed, a violent coughing sound echoed from the ground, which seemed to have been plowed by an iron plow. A pale hand lifted a charred film, revealing two disheveled figures, their clothes tattered and their faces smeared with dirt. Fortunately, they were still alive. "What a close call..." Ling Bai and Xu Jiujiu slowly got up, feeling their weak and powerless bodies and theirpletely drained Soul Power. They looked at each other, seeing the sentiment of surviving a disaster in each other''s eyes. The thing that blocked the full-force attack of a 290,000-year-old Spirit Beast was naturally a treasure, called the Heavenly Dream Ice Silk Worm Molt! The Heavenly Dream Remnant could trap a 390,000-year-old Azure Ice Imperial Scorpion. Ling Bai had taken it to have an extra trump card in case of emergencies, and it proved useful just three monthster. "This is very expensive, right?" Xu Jiujiu pointed at the Heavenly Dream Remnant, weakly saying. Ling Bai nodded solemnly. A million-year-old Spirit Beast remnant, unique to the Tang Sect Continent. What do you think? "I''llpensate you?" "Hmm..." Xu Jiujiu did not question it but felt even more embarrassed. She deliberately avoided looking directly at Ling Bai and tentatively asked: "Ten million Golden Soul Coins?" Just mentioning ten million, the princess''s generosity was¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á Ling Bai replied oddly, "Are you trying to give alms to a beggar?" "No, no, no, because that''s all I have!" Xu Jiujiu hastily exined, "I have other ways topensate you. My elder brother is preparing aing-of-age gift for me, and I can choose any treasure from the Star Luo Empire''s Imperial Treasure Vault. You''ve saved my life twice and helped me so much. I''ll give you this opportunity as a token of my gratitude!" "It''s a deal." After some consideration, Ling Bai agreed. The Star Luo Empire had a history of over ten thousand years, and the Imperial Treasure Vault contained countless treasures, including Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones! The Heavenly Dream Ice Silk Worm Molt was an unexpected windfall. Exchanging it for something from the Star Luo Treasure Vault might not be a loss. Back in the Tian Dou Empire, they had the Vast Sea Heaven and Earth Canopy. Perhaps the Star Luo Empire, which was their rival, had some divine artifact as well! Ling Bai finally agreed, and Xu Jiujiu felt relieved. They couldn''t stay here any longer, so they hurriedly made their way out of the Dark Radiant Forest. ... The twilight was dim, the sunset like blood, the golden-rimmed sun casting a radiant glow that was almost dreamlike, almost unreal. Ling Bai and Xu Jiujiu suddenly left the Land of Eternal Night, and in the presence of the long- awaited real sunset, they instinctively closed their eyes. They quietly enjoyed the peace after the storm, neither of them speaking rashly until a soft voice broke the tranquility. "Ning Bai, how abouting back to Star Luo City with me?" "Oh? Does Princess Jiuer want to defy the world and shelter an irredeemable Evil Soul Master?" Ling Bai teased. "I''m serious. You''re not that bad; you can return to the light and find your way back." On the journey, Xu Jiujiu had thought about it for a long time. This was her sincere belief. Besides, the continent''s situation was unpredictable, and the Sun Moon Empire had sinister intentions. She believed that Ling Bai''s future was limitless and hoped to keep him by her side, benefiting both the Princess Manor and the Star Luo Empire. As for the Evil Soul Master? Sorry, if the royal family says he''s a righteous Soul Master, who dares to oppose it! "Return to the light?" Ling Baiughed bitterly. The Evil Soul Master is Ning Bai, what does it have to do with me, Ling Bai! As everyone knows! The Six-Winged Angel and the Evil Soul Master are mortal enemies! "All good thingse to an end, Princess Jiuer, until we meet again." Ling Bai bid farewell to Xu Jiujiu and walked in the direction of Shrek Academy, leaving a graceful figure behind. "Ning Bai, if you ever need a ce to settle down, I promise you that as long as you don''t be a thoroughly evil viin, the Star Luo Empire''s Princess Manor will always have a ce for you!" The figure paused slightly, then gave a distant OK sign.

Ling Bai returned to Shrek Academy, stepping through the gates and immediately spotting a familiar figure. The woman''s slender and graceful figure exuded charm and allure, her emerald green eyes sparkling with mischief and allure. Every smile and frown was filled with¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á (a myriad of charms). Emerald Phosphorus Snake, Dugu Lin. "What a coincidence," Ling Bai greeted her first. Dugu Lin walked over, smiling lightly as she responded, "It''s only been seven days, and you''ve already captured the Ten Thousand Year Medusa?" "Yeah, how did your mission to eliminate the Wolf Bandits go?" "Just a bunch of worthless scum, not worth mentioning. But what they did..." Dugu Lin''s voice trailed off, her emerald green eyes almost turning into vertical slits, revealing a hint of danger. She had rushed day and night, but still arrived toote. The Wolf Bandits had massacred several viges in the Dueling Spirit Empire, ughtering all the men for food and raping the women. Though she had avenged the innocent civilians by killing all the Wolf Bandits, her hatred for them remained undiminished. "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. You''ve done what you needed to, so don''t be too hard on yourself." Ling Bai offered words offort. The two of them crossed the Sea God Lake together to submit their freshman tasks at the Examination Hall. A hunched figure emerged from the depths of the Examination Hall, none other than Old Li, the scar-faced man. "Why are you back, kid?" Upon seeing Ling Bai, Old Li was momentarily stunned, then blurted out, "You must be thinking of giving up on the Red-Level Task and dropping out to go home, right?" Ling Bai''s lips twitched. Old man, can''t you think of something better?n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om This was when the difference in human qualities became apparent. Look at Dugu Lin, she just assumed he hadpleted the Red-Level Task! Dugu Lin stood to the side, secretly mocking him, while Old Li, after questioning Ling Bai, turned his gaze to her and asked, "What about you?" Dugu Lin reined in her smile and tossed a ck, round object from her storage soul conductor. It rolled twice on the ground beforeing to a stop. A grotesque, dark green wolf''s head, its eyes gouged out, its mouth gaping open, staring nkly at the sky with deep, bloodstained eye sockets. Clearly, the Wolf Bandit had suffered inhuman torture before its death, its demise incredibly gruesome. "You''re pretty ruthless." Ling Bai remarked on Dugu Lin''s harshness, but his body honestly gave her a thumbs up. The Wolf Bandits, like soul masters who kill indiscriminately, should not exist on the Tang Sect Continent. Old Li released a wave of soul power, sensing the residual soul power in the Wolf Bandit''s head, and nodded in satisfaction. "Indeed, it''s the Soul Master-level leader of the Wolf Bandits. Your task isplete!" "Thank you, Old Li." Dugu Lin clenched her fist, and the Wolf Bandit''s head burst into a cloud of dust, scattering in the wind. After that, she took a light step back to stand beside Ling Bai. Actions speak louder than words. Ling Bai didn''t bother with the ssic trope of showing off and embarrassing the old man, and he took out the nearly lifeless Medusa. "Not..." Dugu Lin pointed at the ck, shapeless object, her face full of bewilderment. "Why do you say I''m ruthless!" Old Li agreed wholeheartedly. The Medusa in front of him had none of the majestic aura of a queen of snakes. Both her arms and tail were missing, her snake hair gone, her head bald like a ck egg, her scales tattered, and her breathing faint, as if she could breathe herst breath at any moment! "The Wolf Bandits deserve their cruel punishment, but the Medusa... did she p you with her tail?" Dugu Lin asked suspiciously. Soul masters generally don''t torture soul beasts unless there''s a special reason. Hearing this, Ling Bai''s temples throbbed. "Knowing too much won''t do you any good." The Death Prison Spider Emperor contained Raksha Evil Power. With Ilex guarding his Spirit Sea, Ling Bai wouldn''t lose control and be an Evil Soul Master, but the evil power amplified his violent emotions, leading to the tragic fates of the Death Emperor Yalu and the Medusa. Old Li carefully verified the identity of the Ten Thousand Year Medusa. His eyes lit up with unparalleled enthusiasm. The Red-Level Task far exceeded the limits of the inner courtyard freshmen''s abilities, and in the ten thousand years of Shrek Academy, no one had everpleted it. Today, a true monster had finally appeared! "I remember your name is Ling Bai, right? Good... good... good, you''re very good!" The old voice trembled as Old Li repeated the word ''good'' four times. "ording to the ancestral teachings of Shrek, those whoplete the Red-Level Task will be cultivated with all efforts, regardless of talent or background, as the next generation of Sea God Pavilion members! Ling Bai, your luck is truly extraordinary!" With that, Old Li rushed off without a second thought, probably to inform the Sea God Pavilion elders of the situation, leaving Ling Bai and Dugu Lin staring at each other, unsure whether tough or cry. Dugu Lin tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, smiling. "The academy allows students to dispose of their mission rewards freely. It looks like the Medusa won''tst long. What do you n to do?" Ling Bai replied coolly, "Bury her." The Death Prison Spider Emperor''s poison would turn the Medusa into a pool of toxic water by tomorrow. Otherwise, he could auction her off to extract her remaining value; the Myriad- Year Snake Emperor would definitely attract a group of snake soul masters bidding fiercely. No problem, a few million Golden Soul Coins, Ling Bai didn''tck money! "What a waste!" Dugu Lin was heartbroken, leaning forward slightly, her figure alluring, and in a tone that suggested she was sharing a secret, she said, "How about I help you with it?" Seeing the woman only an arm''s length away, Ling Bai remained unmoved, sneering, "Fifth Soul Ring?" "Hehe, you know!" "When we drew lots, you said you were super excited for me to capture the Medusa. You had this idea early on." Her little scheme exposed, Dugu Lin''s face flushed for a moment before she sped her hands together. "I just broke through to the fiftieth level of soul power. I need a Fifth Soul Ring. You know, no snake soul master on the Tang Sect Continent can resist a Medusa soul ring!" "Don''t try to get something for nothing. Show some sincerity." "How about a kiss?" Dugu Lin was eager to try. "No thanks." Ling Bai''s face clearly said, ''Woman, don''t push your luck,'' and he sighed, "Help me with an experiment." Dugu Lin felt disappointed but asked hopefully, "What kind of experiment?" "A purely non-romantic one!" Ling Bai clutched his forehead and groaned in pain. "Dissect the Medusa now!" "Just that?" Dugu Lin was puzzled, but seeing that Ling Bai had no intention of exining, she squatted down and used a sharp knife to cut open the Medusa''s chest and head. "Hey?" Dugu Lin suddenly noticed something. Inside the Medusa''s head was a triangr-shaped, peculiar bone! The bone was a miniature version of a snake''s skull, pure white in color, with two pale white mes burning in its eyes, and threads of soul power and mental energy continuously leaking out.

It''s over, so cold! Dugu Lin hurried over to support the swaying Ling Bai, her shock and concern evident. "What''s wrong? A Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone shouldn''t excite you this much!" "It''s nothing, just a heart spasm." Ling Bai steadied himself, feeling an overwhelming urge to cry. This damn soul bone was worse than nothing; Dugu Lin obtaining the Medusa soul bone clearly showed that all the previous issues were his own! At that moment, he wished he could immediately rush into the Star Dou Great Forest! Golden Tortoise, open up for business! Seeing that Ling Bai was fine, Dugu Lin put aside her worries and held up the Medusa skull, admiring it intently. It was too beautiful. Even ignoring its inherent value, the soul bone was a magnificent treasure, reflecting a dazzling array of colors under the sunlight. A few minutester, Dugu Lin reluctantly handed the Medusa soul bone to Ling Bai. Though she had been joking, she was actually quite sensible. Obtaining a Ten-Thousand-Year Medusa soul ring was already a pleasant surprise, and they weren''t close enough for her to give him a soul bone. Ling Bai took the soul bone, not particrly happy, but the value of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone was undeniable. Among the soul bones produced by the Snake Empress Medusa, the most valuable was the Head Soul Bone, as it solidified the most powerful innate soul skill of the Medusa n: the Medusa Gaze! The strength of the Medusa Gaze needed no exnation; even a Soul Douluo like She Chong could only be petrified and unable to resist after one hit! Of the six soul bone parts, the Head Soul Bone and Trunk Soul Bone were far more valuable than the Limb Soul Bones. For these two parts, Ling Bai hoped to absorb a Fierce Beast-Level Soul Bone in the future, so he decided to keep the Medusa soul bone for now, perhaps to auction it off or give it to a suitable candidate one day. "Thank you for your luck, the Medusa soul ring will be my gift to you." Ling Bai put away the Medusa soul bone, nodded slightly to Dugu Lin, and turned to leave the Inner Court examination hall, heading toward the Shrek Academy Outer Court. The Outer Court, the freshmen examination area, the semi-finals. "Ning Tian! Ning Tian!" In the contestant rest area, Wu Feng waved her hand in front of Ning Tian, who had been staring at the audience seats, with a look of exasperation. "Ling Bai has gone toplete the Inner Court examination task. He definitely won''te to watch us today!" Ning Tian, not seeing the long-awaited figure, slowly came to his senses and said despondently, "Whether he watches or not is a minor issue; I''m worried about Brother Bai encountering trouble." Wu Feng scoffed, "If Ling Bai is in trouble, everyone else will be in even more trouble!" Five years of repeatedly challenging Ling Bai and failing had made Wu Feng hate him to the point of gnashing her teeth, but she had an almost blind faith in his strength. "Sister Tian, Sister Feng, it''s our turn to go on the field!" A clear female voice suddenly rang out, and a vibrant young girl cupped her hands to her mouth and shouted at the two girls. Nanmen Yuner, with the Wu Soul of the Jade Green Bird, was the third member of Ning Tian''s team. The three of them climbed onto the examination field and saw their semi-final opponents. Wu Feng''s eyes widened in surprise; the world was so small. Their opponents were none other than the familiar Huo Yuhao and his teammates, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. "This is a sure win!" Wu Feng lowered her voice but couldn''t hide her excitement. "Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao are exceptionally strong, but the teacher from ss One must be crazy to pair that one-ringed rookie with them!" "Yes, Sister Feng is right!" Nanmen Yuner nodded vigorously. "A lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit; don''t underestimate your opponents," Ning Tian reminded them. "Yes, Sister Tian is right!" Nanmen Yuner betrayed Wu Feng without a second thought. On the other side, Huo Yuhao, with his Spirit Eye''s extraordinary vision, caught Wu Feng''s contemptuous look, as if she had found a soft target. A fierce fire burned in his heart, and he said resolutely, "Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, we must win this match!" "With me, there will be no surprises." "ss President, leave it to us!" Wang Dong, with his short pinkish-blue hair and a touch of arrogance in his sharp features, and Xiao Xiao, a petite girl with a doll-like face and long dark green hair, stood ready. "The match begins!" At the referee''smand, the battle between Huo Yuhao''s team and Ning Tian''s team officially started. "Seven Treasures, First: Strength! Second: Speed!" The role of a support-type soul master was to buff their teammates. Ning Tian summoned the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower, and the first and second soul rings lit up simultaneously. The yellow light from the century-old soul ring made the seven-color tower shine even more brilliantly, granting Wu Feng and Nanmen Yuner a 40% increase in strength and speed. Huo Yuhao was not to be outdone. His seemingly ten-year-old but actually million-year-old Tianmeng Ice Silk white soul ring flickered, and the Mental Detection Sharing skill created a mentalwork connecting Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. Ning Tian''s team''s movements wereid bare before them. The most beautiful Wu Soul in the world, the Goddess Butterfly, took over Wang Dong''s body. A yellow and purple soul ring, both exceeding the limit, appeared, and a pair of dazzling blue-gold wings unfurled. Wang Dong soared up, aiming straight for Ning Tian. Targeting the carry first, an eternal truth in team battles! "How dare you!" Anyone who dared to attack Ning Tian was considered an enemy by Wu Feng. Her crimson eyes glinted, and a red glow rippled over her curvaceous body. Fine, diamond-shaped dragon scales spread down her neck, covering her arms and hands. "Boom-" The sharp ws of the Red Dragon and the wings of the Goddess Butterfly shed fiercely. The center of the soul battle arena seemed to freeze for a moment, then a wave of energy erupted, sweeping outward violently. Nanmen Yuner made the same choice as Wang Dong, targeting the tactical core of the opposing team, Huo Yuhao. The Jade Green Bird gave her a pair of emerald wings, but due to the difference in Wu Soul quality, she couldn''t fly as freely as Wang Dong and could only glide and elerate. Fortunately, the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower provided her with a significant speed boost, allowing her to perform at a level beyond her soul power. However, Xiao Xiao, who was facing Nanmen Yuner, had already predicted her movements through Mental Detection Sharing. Her chubby face broke into a cunning smile, and three ancient ck tripods arranged in a triangr formation blocked Nanmen Yuner''s path. "Bang!" A dull collision echoed through the examination area. The Three Lives Soul Suppressing Tripods sent a strong shockwave, forcing Nanmen Yuner to retreat quickly. With Xiao Xiao and the tripods, she posed no threat to Huo Yuhao. Nanmen Yuner''s attempt to target the carry failed. Wu Feng, seeing Wang Dong using his aerial advantage to engage her, realized she had to defeat him to break the deadlock. She decisively activated her two yellow soul rings. Ayer of scorching red mes gathered on Wu Feng''s body. This was the Red Dragon''s first soul skill, Dragon Fire. Each of her attacks would now be apanied by the intense heat of Dragon Fire. Wu Feng''s transformation was far from over. Her second soul skill, Dragon Wrath, erupted, turning the Dragon Fire dark red. Her dragon scales became thicker, and her hands twisted and grew, resembling real dragon ws. "Yuner, ignore Xiao Xiao, help Xiao Feng!" Ning Tian shoutedmands. Nanmen Yuner immediately abandoned her attempt to break through the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Tripods. The century-old soul ring at the end of the line shone, and a green light condensed into a crescent-shaped light de, slicing through the air in a graceful arc toward Wang Dong. The second soul skill of the Jade Green Bird, Jade sh! With a locking effect, Wang Dong had no way to avoid it! The two girls attacked from front and back, but Wang Dong remained calm. On his Goddess Butterfly wings, golden light patterns, like miniature suns, emitted intense light. The left wing twisted toward Nanmen Yuner behind him, while the right wing faced Wu Feng''s frontal attack. All the golden light patterns on the wings shone brightly! The millennium-old second soul skill, Butterfly God''s Light! Wang Dong activated Butterfly God''s Light, and Ning Tian began to chant a soul incantation: "Seven Treasures, the third..." A sudden, intense pain in her head made Ning Tian''s body tremble, and blood seeped from her nose and mouth as her internal qi and blood churned. One of the four soul skills of the Tianmeng Ice Silk, Soul Impact! Since entering the academy, Huo Yuhao had always hidden Soul Impact and mental interference. Now, these skills had a significant impact. Caught off guard by Soul Impact, Ning Tian''s mind went nk, not only interrupting her third soul skill but also causing the strength and speed buffs she had given to Wu Feng and Nanmen Yuner to dissipate. The situation on the field changed dramatically. Wu Feng and Nanmen Yuner, who had been calcting their defenses, saw their strength greatly reduced. Butterfly God''s Light forced them to retreat step by step, and Xiao Xiao seized the opportunity to finish them off, using one tripod to knock each of them out of bounds.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om By the time Ning Tian regained consciousness, she was the only one left on the field. A defenseless support-type soul master could not stand against an intact three-person team, and the oue was clear! "Did I lose?" Ning Tian''s eyes shed with three parts confusion, five parts bewilderment, and two parts disbelief. Impossible, the Young Sect Master of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower cannot lose to anyone! The next second, an even more despairing sight greeted Ning Tian. She met a pair of familiar golden eyes; Ling Bai had somehow appeared in the audience seats! "Brother Bai..." Ling Bai said nothing, but she felt as if a deafening p had struck her face, leaving her ears ringing. Wu Feng quickly got up, following Ning Tian''s gaze to find Ling Bai. The color drained from her face at an rming speed, and then she saw Ning Tian jump off the examination tform and run away, head down...

Tonight seemed particrly quiet, with a crescent moon hanging askew in the sky, and scattered stars emitting a faint glow. Shrek Academy Outer Court, New Student Assessment Area. The new student assessment had concluded sessfully. The series of matches had left a profound psychological impact on these eleven or twelve-year-old boys and girls, teaching them the vast disparities in the world and the truth that there is always a higher mountain. To catch up with their more powerful peers, the new students rushed back to their dormitories to practice, afraid to waste a single minute. At this moment, the Soul Duel Arena was sparsely popted and silent. "Thud, thud, thud!" Heavy footsteps and heavy breathing suddenly echoed, and a crimson figure burst into the assessment area, leaning against a pir for a few seconds before looking up at the person in the stands, his voice hoarse, speaking slowly and deliberately: "Ling Bai, you are really something! Ning Tian has gone missing, and you still have the nerve to sit there like a dead turtle!" Wu Feng''s face was a mix of frustration and anxiety. His white school uniform was drenched in sweat, and if he wrung it, water would surelye out. Ning Tian had vanished as if she had evaporated into thin air. Wu Feng had almost turned the Shrek Academy Outer Court upside down but found no trace of Ning Tian. "Are you really stupid or just pretending?" Ling Bai looked down at Wu Feng, who was ring at him, feeling pity for hisck of effort. "Ning Tian is clearly hiding from us, licking her wounds in some secluded ce. Why must you deprive her of herst bit of personal space?" "I... I''m worried she might do something foolish..." Wu Feng unconsciously bit his lower lip, his trembling teeth betraying his chaotic inner state. They had grown up together since childhood, and Wu Feng believed no one understood Ning Tian better than he did. Ning Tian was the little princess of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, as noble as the moon in the sky. Now, the moon had fallen, and if Ning Tian couldn''t bear it, Wu Feng didn''t dare to think further! "Ning Tian won''t." Ling Bai''s tone was very calm but filled with unparalleled certainty: "She should have calmed down a bit. Go back to the dormitory and rest. I promise to bring you a new Ning Tian tomorrow." "New? What do you mean? We are already new students at Shrek! Hey! Hey!" Ignoring the idiot''s shouting, a pair of golden angel wings unfolded, and Ling Bai shot up into the sky, turning into a golden streak flying out of Shrek Academy. "Bang." After a barely perceptible collision, Ling Bainded slowly in front of a dimly lit alley near the west gate of Shrek City. The alley was deep and dark, with only the light from the stars and moon barely illuminating the path ahead. Ling Bai walked along the alley, and as he went deeper, he heard a faint, sad sobbing. A curled-up figure of a girl came into view. "Who''s there!" Ling Bai did not deliberately lighten his steps. Ning Tian immediately became alert upon sensing a stranger and picked up a stone, hurling it at Ling Bai with over thirty levels of Soul Power, making it appear like a phantom. Ling Bai caught the stone steadily and smiled, "Little Tian, it''s me." "Brother Bai?" Hearing the familiar voice, Ning Tian instinctively looked up. Confirming it was indeed Ling Bai, she instantly buried her head in her knees, her voice sharp: "Don''t look at me! Please, Brother Bai, go away!" She shouted until her voice was hoarse, her shoulders shaking uncontrobly, trying hard to hold back tears, but her eyes betrayed the deep pain she felt. The first failure in her life was almost an unbearable weight for Ning Tian. It wasn''t that she couldn''t ept failure. If she had lost to Bai Hu Dai Huabin or Xi Fan Yue, she would have felt disappointed and regretful, but she would have worked hard to make aeback. But it was... it had to be... losing to Huo Yuhao, a one-ringed Soul Master with mediocre talent, weak background, who relied on the Tang Sect and casually broke the rules! And Ling Bai just happened to witness her at her most vulnerable moment! The glory of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, the pride of the sect''s little princess, and the opinion of the person she admired-this new student assessment match had destroyed everything Ning Tian held dear. Her mindset was like a shattered mirror, and she dared not face Ling Bai, fearing to see disappointment and disdain in his eyes. Suddenly, Ning Tian felt a warm embrace envelop her body. After some time, a gentle voice slowly entered her ears. "Little Tian, have you heard a story? Everyone''s heart rate is different. When you hug someone for over thirty seconds, your heart rates will synchronize. So, when you''re sad, hugging someone tightly can help you calm down." Ning Tian couldn''t tell if it was true, but she knew that Ling Bai''s warmth, voice, and breath were like a soothing stream, nourishing her heart, which was filled with anxiety and wounds. She clung tightly to Ling Bai''s shoulders, lifting her head. In the darkness, her eyes were red, and her beautiful was streaked with tears, making her look incredibly pitiful. The fresh scent of her silver-white hair filled his nostrils. Ling Bai gently patted Ning Tian''s back and said, "Little Tian, are you feeling better?" "Losing to them, I can''t ept it, and it''s humiliating... Brother Bai, don''t mock me. For a moment, I really wanted to return to the sect and never step into Shrek Academy again..." After saying that, Ning Tian released Ling Bai, looking down at her shoe tips. Ling Bai somehow felt as if her head had grown two ears, hanging pitifully. "It''s just a loss in a match, how big of a deal is it?" Ling Bai held Ning Tian''s small hand without hesitation, "Come with me for a walk outside the city." "Where are we going?" Ning Tian asked hurriedly. "Mountain climbing." Fifty miles northeast of Shrek City was the Spring Tea Mountain. Ling Bai released his six- winged angel and flew Ning Tian to the foot of the mountain. "An upperssman said the sunrise on Spring Tea Mountain is magnificent. Let''s go up the mountain to clear our minds and see for ourselves." "Okay." Ning Tian nodded. She needed to do something to distract herself and move past the humiliation of failure. They stepped onto the first step, officially beginning their mountain climb. They both chose to forgo using Soul Power, relying solely on physical strength and endurance to experience the process. Ling Bai, with two super Soul Powers, had a body as strong as a Spirit Emperor. His long legs moved swiftly, while Ning Tian, being a support-type, had a body that was even weaker than some two-ringed Soul Masters. She managed to keep up with Ling Bai for a while but soon was drenched in sweat and panting, "Brother Bai, I''m a bit tired..." "It''s okay, sit down and rest for a while." A long silence fell between them until Ning Tian recovered her strength and continued climbing. Ling Bai did not slow down, and Ning Tian gritted her teeth and followed closely. She only rested when she waspletely exhausted, and at that moment, Ling Bai would also stop, his golden eyes filled with deep meaning as he looked at her. "Pant... Pant..." Ning Tian supported her sore thighs, finally seeing the top of the mountain. Victory was within reach. The wind blew through the lush forest of Spring Tea Mountain, and the trees in the morning light looked like an ocean, a sea of emerald, with thousands of treetops swaying in the wind, formingyers of waves. "Do you think the upperssman was lying to me?" Ling Bai smiled. "No, it''s really beautiful..." Dawn flooded Ning Tian''s vision, the massive sun touching the horizon, and the ancient river below her feet slowly rippled, the water crashing against the ck cliffs, breaking into white foam. Exhausted but triumphant, Ning Tian swore this was the most beautiful dawn she had ever seen. "Little Tian, was the climb tiring?" "It was, but seeing such a beautiful view makes it all worth it." "Little Tian, I don''t like to lecture people because it''s too tedious and unnecessary. I respect others'' fates, whether good or bad, it''s none of my business." Ling Bai''s voice was light, blending into the morning breeze at the mountain top, "But for you, it''s the first time I''ve felt conflicted." Ning Tian clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning blue, her body trembling slightly, "Brother Bai, I don''t understand what you mean." "Little Tian, the night before we left for Shrek Academy, the sect leader secretly entered your room. Do you need me to help you remember what happened?" "No need..." Ning Tian''s face turned red, and her hands clutched together. Ling Bai continued, "I can understand what the sect leader said that night. The Seven Treasures Crystal Towercksbat power, and non-familybat Soul Masters naturally became an important part of the sect, second only to the direct descendants. To bindbat Soul Masters, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower has followed the ancient tradition of choosing rtives by marriage for thousands of years. Marriage binds hearts and souls, and I don''t have a problem with this approach. But Little Tian, you''ve tasted failure. Theck ofbat power in the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower was exposed in the match. After using your Soul Skills, a support-type is just a spectator in the arena. You are the top support-type Soul Power, giving Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun''er a forty percent boost. So what? The oue and fate are still in the hands ofbat Soul Masters with lower talent than you. Little Tian, are you content with that?" "Of course not!" Ning Tian''s eyes suddenly sparked with light. If she had exchanged her three-ringed Seven Treasures Crystal Tower for a three-ringed Red Dragon, she would have definitely beaten Huo Yuhao and his team! "Soul Power isn''t something I can choose..." As she said this, the light in her eyes dimmed. "The times have changed. Support-types are no longer purely support. The Seven Treasures Crystal Tower doesn''t have to be a parasitic vine, relying onbat Soul Masters." Ling Bai stood at the mountain top, the strong wind making his clothes flutter. "Little Tian, be the mountain, overlooking the ordinary valleys from the peak." The mountain wind carried a damp, refreshing chill, her silver-white hair sticking to her pale forehead. Ning Tian''s eyes shone brightly, reflecting the entire person at the mountain top. Her chest suddenly burned with a fire of courage, ready to consume everything. She stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ling Bai, "Brother Bai, what should I do?" "Study Soul Conductor Devices, seize the opportunities of the times, and ze a new path for yourself and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower!" "Okay, I''ll do it!" Ning Tian didn''t hesitate. In the Tang Sect Continent''s three original countries, the stronger the Soul Power, the more they resisted Soul Conductor Devices. Most Soul Conductors were a bunch of weak Soul Powers, but she was tired of the helplessness of entrusting her fate to others! "But there''s one issue." Ning Tian changed the subject, "Shrek Academy''s Soul Power and Soul Conductor Departments are strictly separated, and dual studies are not allowed." "With the right people backing you, you can secretly study both." Ling Bai didn''t take it seriously. Huo Yuhao was already studying both under the Soul Conductor Department Director Fan Yu, so he decided to find a powerful mentor for Ning Tian.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Fortunately, there was arade in the Shrek Academy Outer Court who was extremely willing to help Ning Tian, and Ling Bai decided to reach out to him. An hourter, the door to the Outer Court Soul Power Department Director''s office was knocked on. "Little Tian and Ling Bai?" Du Weilun was drafting the list of core first-year students. Seeing Ning Tian and Ling Bai, he was momentarily stunned and asked, "Why are you here?" "Director Du, I''m asking for your help!" Ning Tian put on a weak and gentle demeanor, her voice soft. "What kind of help?" Du Weilun had been taking special care of Ning Tian for the past three months, harboring some thoughts he couldn''t share with others. "I want to study Soul Conductor Devices. Can you help me find a teacher?" "Soul Conductor Devices???" Du Weilun seemed to hit a keyword, jumping up and firing off a rapid barrage of words. "Why would you abandon your top-tier Soul Power, the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower, to study that nonsense!" "No, no, absolutely not!" "I would be harming you by helping you! Little Tian, forget these thoughts, study systematically, and you will surely take over your mother''s responsibilities and be the next leader of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower!" "Director..." Ning Tian''s eyes narrowed. Fine, you want to push me to the limit, huh! "Director, my father actually passed away in an ident ten years ago. My mother has been working hard, and the Main Body Sect has been causing trouble for us, making it difficult forbat Soul Masters to join the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. That''s why I want to study Soul Conductor Devices to addbat power to our sect..." "Condolences... Wait, what?" Du Weilun first sighed, then suddenly realized. Hold on, something''s off! "Your parents and I were in the same year, but I was slightly weaker and didn''t get selected for the Shrek Seven Monsters like them." Du Weilun still wasn''t convinced. If he had also given up Shrek Academy to pursue love, it might not be clear who Ning Tian''s father would be! "Brother Changqing, why did you leave so early..." The love and hate of twenty years ago are long gone! I''ll take care of your family, don''t worry! Du Weilun looked at Ning Tian, stood up, and said, "This is understandable. Although studying both is difficult, it can be tried. Soul Conductor Department Director Qian Duoduo alwaysins to Dean Yan about ack of people. I''ll bring him a top genius!" He led Ning Tian toward the Soul Conductor Department, rubbing his hands together, "Little Tian... actually, you should call me Uncle Du from your mother''s side." "Um, Uncle Du..." "Ah! Uncle Du will take you to the Soul Conductor Department!" Ling Bai followed behind them, shaking his head in shame at Du Weilun''s behavior. Sure enough, if the top is crooked, the bottom will be askew! From Mu En to Du Weilun and down to Huo Yuhao, Shrek Academy is full of talented people, but also full of lickspittles! Ling Bai looked at Du Weilun''s pitiful appearance and knew that even if the sect leader married three times, it wouldn''t be his turn!

The buildings of the Soul Conductor Department are different from those of the Soul Power Department, with an ancient and solemn style, constructed from a special gray brick that gleams with a metallic, cold luster. asional loud booms echo from inside the buildings, as if countless Soul Conductor Cannon Shells are exploding in a series, causing the ground to tremble slightly. The Soul Conductor Department is divided into many experimental zones, each marked with a number. The lower the number, the more important the zone. Du Weilun led Ling Bai and Ning Tian to Experimental Zone One, kicked open the metal door without hesitation, and shouted: "Is Dean Qian here! Open up!" Inside Experimental Zone One, a few Soul Conductor Department students and teachers were fiddling with Soul Conductor Devices. They looked up at Du Weilun, curious to see who was so audacious. Two figures approached Du Weilun. The man on the left was at least two meters tall, broad- shouldered and muscr, with bare arms that looked like granite, and hair that stood up like steel needles. As he walked, the pressure he exuded was like a moving mountain. He was the Deputy Dean of the Soul Conductor Department, Wulong Douluo Qian Duoduo! The woman on the right was about 1.7 meters tall, in her early thirties, with fair skin and a delicate face. Her eyes were cold and proud, like ice. She was the Dean of the Soul Conductor Department, Martial God Douluo Xian Lin''er! "Well, what wind brings Director Du here today? The small Soul Conductor Department can''t amodate a great Buddha like you!" Qian Duoduo said with a forced smile as soon as he saw Du Weilun. The Soul Conductor Department had always been at a disadvantage in its long-standingpetition with the Soul Power Department. As the top executive under Dean Yan Shaozhe, Du Weilun had often made things difficult for the Soul Conductor Department. ording to past behavior, Du Weilun would have retorted sharply to Qian Duoduo, but when he saw Xian Lin''er, his lips twitched a few times before he stepped forward to greet them: "Dean Xian is here too. It''s been a while." Xian Lin''er snorted coldly: "I prefer your arrogant self. Spit it out!" Hearing this, Du Weilun did not get angry; instead, a bitter smile appeared on his face. Joking, even Yan Shaozhe avoided Xian Lin''er, and Du Weilun dared not provoke Qian Duoduo, let alone this Martial God Douluo. Du Weilun got straight to the point: "Deans Xian and Qian, I''vee to bring the Soul Conductor Department a great benefit!" "Oh, I don''t believe it." Qian Duoduo shook his head, and Xian Lin''er agreed. Du Weilun, personally trained by Yan Shaozhe, was known for his cunning! Du Weilun almost burst with anger. What did these two mean? Could they at least give him some face in front of Ning Tian? "Cough, cough!" Hiding his embarrassment by covering his mouth with a fist, Du Weilun continued: "I know the Soul Conductor Department is short on people, so I''ve brought you a super genius. Little Tian, meet Dean Xian Lin''er and Deputy Dean Qian Duoduo of the Soul Conductor Department!" Ning Tian stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said with a wless smile: "Greetings, Deans. I am a new student, Ning Tian." Du Weilun introduced her: "Little Tian is the child of my close friend. She has excellent soul power talent and has always been interested in Soul Conductor Devices. Her mother and I have discussed this many times and strongly opposed her learning Soul Conductor Devices, but she kept asking. In the end, I had no choice but to bring her here as she wished." Ling Bai, standing nearby, silently gave a thumbs up. Director Du truly lived up to his reputation, weaving a half-true, half-false story that praised Ning Tian and slipped in his own interests! "Good child, you have good taste!" Sure enough, Xian Lin''er and Qian Duoduo were instantly convinced by Du Weilun''s words. Shrek Academy followed the trend of the continent in establishing the Soul Conductor Department, but due to its pride and history, the Academy, especially the Inner Courtyard, looked down on the Soul Conductor Department. To be honest, even the dogs of the Soul Power Department would kick a Soul Conductor Department student if they passed by! While other soul master academies across the continent were trying tobine soul power and Soul Conductor Devices in battle, most Shrek students remained proud of their traditional methods, refusing to learn how to make Soul Conductor Devices and even rejecting their use! Now, a talented student suddenly appeared, telling them that she had long admired Soul Conductor Devices. How could the two deans not be moved? "However..." Xian Lin''er paused and said, "The Soul Conductor Department only starts admitting students in the third year. It''s against the rules for a new student to join." "Ling''er is right, you''re too early," Qian Duoduo agreed. "Shrek Academy''s motto is to admit only prodigies, not ordinary students," Du Weilun said. "Prodigies have their own teaching methods and don''t need to follow fixed patterns." As he said this, he recalled the scene three months ago when he saw Ling Bai easily defeat Chu Qingtian in the Inner Courtyard exam. Even among prodigies, there are differences! "That makes sense..." the two deans nodded. "I have a proposal for you to consider. Little Tian can stay in the Soul Power Department andplete her daily tasks. Then, I''ll turn a blind eye and allow her to learn Soul Conductor Devices from you." "Dual cultivation of soul power and Soul Conductor Devices?" Xian Lin''er frowned and slowly said, "It''s not a bad idea, but the only question is... Ning Tian, do you have the talent for it?" "Yes!" Ning Tian''s answer was firm, and her spirited demeanor made Xian Lin''er look at her with new respect. Xian Lin''er pped and praised: "I like your confidence! If you show enough talent, I''ll ept Director Du''s proposal and teach you Soul Conductor Devices!" "Me too!" Qian Duoduo unconditionally supported his wife. "Dean Xian, please give me three different types of metal, three engraving knives, and a Level 1 Soul Conductor Propulsion Device." Ning Tian''s azure eyes gathered a stormy glow. Ling Bai and Du Weilun had opened another path for her, and she would not let them down! Xian Lin''er did not ask for the purpose and turned to the depths of Experimental Zone One, shouting: "Qian Fufu, one piece each of blue iron, yellow iron, and red iron, three ordinary Soul Conductor engraving knives, and a Level 1 Soul Conductor Propulsion Device!" "Sure, Mother!" A voice responded from afar, and Qian Fufu ran up with a pile of materials, suddenly eximing: "Ling Bai, why are you here in the Soul Conductor Department?" He did not recognize Ning Tian, so he only noticed Ling Bai. Something''s not right! Is he here to cause trouble!? Qian Fufu, defense mode activated! Ling Bai saw through it and said helplessly, "Don''t overthink it. I''m here to apany someone for an interview in the Soul Conductor Department."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Unless his head was kicked by a donkey, who would dare to cause trouble under the noses of two Title Douluo? "That''s good." Qian Fufu patted his chest and smiled, "If you''re interested in Soul Conductor Devices, you''re wee to join us!" "Ha, definitely." Ling Bai used his smooth-talking skills. He was willing to learn and support the development of Soul Conductor Devices on the Douluo Continent, but when it came to making them? Sorry, not a chance! In the peak era of Soul Conductor Devices during the Absolute Tang Gate period, the highest level was the tenth-level Silver Moon Divine Light Shield created by Kong Deming of the Sun and Moon Empire, which posed almost no threat to deities. So, isn''t focusing on bing a deity more appealing? After bing a deity, with an eternal lifespan, there would be plenty of time to learn Soul Conductor Devices. Qian Fufu ced the materials on a round metal table in front of Ning Tian, and Xian Lin''er and Qian Duoduo stood on either side, watching her quietly. Blue iron, yellow iron, and red iron were rtivelymon rare metals, suitable for the core arrays of most Soul Conductor Devices below level three. They nowy in front of Ning Tian, exuding a cold, metallic aura. Ning Tian did not start with the three rare metals but first disassembled the Level 1 Soul Conductor Propulsion Device. The structure of a Level 1 Soul Conductor Device was very simple. Removing the metal casing revealed a small, intricate hexagonal metal block with someplex patterns engraved on it. A Level 1 Soul Conductor core array for eleration. Ning Tian''s azure eyes glowed with a strange light. She stared at the eleration array for a long time but made no further move. Time ticked by, and her body remained as still as a statue. Xian Lin''er and Qian Duoduo grew impatient, their eyes ring at Du Weilun: Are you messing with us? Du Weilun was drenched in sweat. He was actually unsure about Ning Tian''s abilities and had exaggerated her level to impress his former crush. Finally, Ning Tian moved. She held two engraving knives in her hands, and her soul power formed a third hand to grasp the third knife! She made a stunning move, working on three arrays simultaneously! As Ning Tian engraved theplex patterns of the eleration array stroke by stroke, the three arrays did not affect her rhythm. Instead, her three hands moved in a harmonious and elegant dance! "The secret technique of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, Divided Mind Control! She''s a disciple of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower!" Xian Lin''er, well-informed, immediately recognized Ning Tian''s technique. "Three Apertures Control Heart... new student..." Qian Duoduo rubbed his chin and suddenly realized, "Eleven years old and already a three- ringed Soul Exalted!? As if to answer Qian Duoduo''s question, a magnificent Seven Treasures Crystal Tower appeared above Ning Tian''s head, with two yellow and one purple soul rings rising, granting her a 40% increase in strength and speed. Ning Tian''s three hands became even more dazzling as she engraved the arrays. Ning Tian made her final engraving stroke, picked up the scattered metal shavings. She stopped, her face showing a hint of fatigue, but when she turned to the others, she broke into a radiant smile. She carefully picked up the three hexagonal metal pieces, infused them with gentle soul power, and they immediately glowed brightly. The light formed a straight, unwavering beam, rising steadily. "Three Level 1 eleration core arrays. Is that enough to prove my talent as a Soul Conductor?" "Enough! More than enough!" Qian Duoduo was almost moved to tears. A first-tier auxiliary soul power, the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower, an eleven-year-old Soul Exalted, and the Three Apertures Control Heart-by heaven, their Soul Conductor Department had always followed the Soul Power Department, picking up scraps. They had never had a super genius like this! "Director Du, your visit today truly brings glory to our Soul Conductor Department! How long has it been since west had a drink? Come,e, let''s get drunk tonight!" Qian Duoduo''s attitude changed instantly, and he called Du Weilun brother, slinging his arm around his shoulder and heading towards Shrek City, talking non-stop: "Oh, Director Du, don''t forget the Soul Conductor Department when you have such talented students in the future! With you at Shrek Academy, the Soul Power Department and the Soul Conductor Department can develop together and look forward to a bright future!" Qian Duoduo and Du Weilun left like old friends, leaving the others in the experimental zone looking at each other in surprise. Xian Lin''er put aside her cold demeanor and said softly, "Little Tian, from recognizing core arrays to making them, I''ve seen your talent for Soul Conductor Devices. I want to ask you, would you like to be my direct disciple?" "Teacher!" Ning Tian immediately bowed deeply, changing her address. Xian Lin''er, the Dean of the Shrek Soul Conductor Department! There was no better time to be her disciple! "Good child!" Xian Lin''er helped Ning Tian up, tears welling in her eyes. Though Qian Fufu was their adopted son, he had always learned Soul Conductor Devices from Qian Duoduo, making Ning Tian her only direct disciple. "A Level 7 Rechargeable Soul Conductor Shield, as a gift from your teacher." "Thank you, teacher!" Auxiliary soul masters have weak self-defense abilities. Compared to Soul Conductor cannons and Soul Conductor swords, Ning Tian would need a defensive Soul Conductor Device more. Xian Lin''er''s gift hit the mark, making Qian Fufu say to Ling Bai with a tinge of envy: "The gift my teacher gave me when I became his disciple wasn''t as precious as this rechargeable Soul Conductor shield from Mother..." "No time to waste, I''ll teach you the basics of Soul Conductor Devices right now." Xian Lin''er eagerly pulled Ning Tian towards the Soul Conductor Department teaching building, eager to pour all her knowledge into her. "Teacher, please let me say a few words to Brother Bai," Ning Tian said hurriedly. "Sure, sure, go quickly ande back." She ran over, her plump red lips close to Ling Bai''s ear, and said: "Brother Bai, every three months, Mother sends us pills and supplements from the sect''s Shadow Guard to aid our cultivation. I received a letter from the Shadow Guard and will be receiving them at the East Gate of Shrek City tonight. Teacher is about to teach me Soul Conductor Devices, and in her current excited state, I''m not sure when I''ll be back to the dorm. Please take care of it." Ling Bai had no objections and then said to Qian Fufu, "Want to have lunch?" "No." "Come, let''s eat something." Qian Fufu had indeed been tired from working on Soul Conductor Devices all morning, so he agreed and walked with Ling Bai towards Shrek City. On the way, he couldn''t help but ask, "She''s very close to you, right?" "Yes, we grew up together." "Childhood sweethearts!" Qian Fufu was envious and then sighed, "Such a beautiful girl, a direct descendant of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, she could live a stable life by just cultivating her soul power. There''s no need for her to suffer by dual-cultivating Soul Conductor Devices. Why don''t you try to persuade her?" Ling Bai smiled, "A ship is safest when it stays in the harbor, but that''s not what ships are built for. Great ships must face the storms and waves." On the other side, Xian Lin''er asked Ning Tian the same question: "Little Tian, with your soul power talent, you can surely be a core disciple of the Soul Power Department and even a member of the Shrek Seven Monsters. Why do you want to study Soul Conductor Devices, which are not highly regarded at Shrek Academy?" "I want to be my own mountain," Ning Tian said with a bright smile. By now, her admiration for strength was evident. Of course, she hoped that her future partner would be more excellent, more ambitious, more confident, and have unique insights and the ability to handle things with ease. But she would not be a parasitic nt, clinging to others. She would be a cotton tree, standing tall and independent beside her partner. She dared to love because she was her own mountain.

The Dark Guard of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower presented Ling Bai with a Stardust Sapphire Ring, filled with all sorts of precious materials needed for the next three months to aid Ling Bai, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng in their cultivation. Ling Bai''s mental energy probed into the Stardust Sapphire, counting ording to the list: "Two Ten Thousand Year Seventh Rank Ginseng Kings, hmm, it seems Wu Feng isn''t included. Ten Thousand Year Deep Sea Whale Glue, Ten Thousand Year Demon Soul Great White Shark Oil, Ten Thousand Year Seven Treasures Delicate Fruit, Light Dragon Marrow, Fiery Armor Earth Dragon Tendon, Nine-Colored Stone, Soul Enlightenment Pill, Beauty Nourishing Pill... The types and quantities are correct, thank you for your hard work." Ling Bai transferred all the precious materials into his storage soul conductor and returned the Stardust Sapphire Ring to the Dark Guard. "I shall take my leave." The Dark Guard bowed respectfully and quickly vanished into the shadows. After receiving the items, Ling Bai did not return to Sea God Ind. Instead, he waited at the foot of the Outer Academy Soul Conductor Department teaching building for Ning Tian to finish her sses. About two hourster, as night fell over Shrek Academy, Ning Tian slowly emerged from the teaching building. Ning Tian instantly locked onto Ling Bai and ran over in quick steps. "Brother Bai, why didn''t you return to the Inner Academy to rest?" Her tone carried a hint of reproach, but her heart was warmed by the feeling of being cherished by the person she loved. "It''s your first day, I was afraid you might not be used to it." Ling Bai reached out to tuck Ning Tian''s wind-tousled white-gold hair behind her ear. After a day of intense soul conductor knowledge, a hint of fatigue was visible on her pretty face, but her excitement and thirst for knowledge remained undiminished. "Brother Bai, don''t worry. The teacher was very gentle, and the exnations were clear and easy to understand. I benefited greatly today, and I even regret not starting to learn soul conductors earlier!" Ning Tian linked her arm with Ling Bai''s as they headed to the outer academy cafeteria. She whispered, "The teacher''s only w is that she knows about our rtionship and said you don''t look like a devoted good man like Dean Qian." Devoted good man? A dog! Ling Bai suddenly couldn''t tell what Xian Lin''er meant! Saying I don''t look like a dog? Ning Tian continued, "The teacher decided to grant me the treatment of a Core Disciple of the Soul Conductor Department. Afterpleting the Soul Power Department courses each day, I will study soul conductors with her for two hours." "That''s quite a heavy workload," Ling Bai said. "Cultivating both martial souls and soul conductors is a path I chose. Even if I have to crawl, I will finish it!" Ning Tian clenched her small fist, her azure eyes zing with determination. Shame and then courage! Shame, only once in a lifetime! "By the way, Brother Bai, did you get the items?" "Yes." Ling Bai nodded slightly. "I was thinking of discussing this with you. The Sect Master gave us two Ten Thousand Year Seventh Rank Ginseng Kings. One you should give to Dean Xian when you find a suitable opportunity. Director Du helped us so much, the other one we can give to him after your morning sses tomorrow. What do you think?" "Okay!" Ning Tian agreed without hesitation, thinking it was the right thing to do. In any world, gift-giving is one of the keys to interpersonal rtionships. No matter how eloquent one''s words, only tangible benefits can make people willing to help you. "Take out some of the remaining items to attract talented students from the outer academy. Remember not to choose items that are too valuable, to avoid making them arrogant. As for others, like your homeroom teacher Mujin, you can decide for yourself." Ling Bai carefully instructed Ning Tian, who listened attentively, nodding continuously. Her eyes sparkled like a puppy''s, almost reaching for a notebook to write down every word. Not only Ning Tian, but Ling Bai also nned to give a few rare but not too expensive gifts to his Inner Academy friends, including Han Ruo, Zhang Lexuan, Qian Fufu, Dugu Lin, Chu Qiantian, and others. It was alreadyte, and after dinner, they selected the precious materials and returned to their dormitories to rest. ... The next day, at noon. Ling Bai and Ning Tian agreed to visit Director Du Weilun''s office. Just as they arrived, they found the office door wide open, with intense voicesing from inside. "Zhou Yi, what brings you here?" Du Weilun''s face was clearly agitated and helpless as he saw the elderly-looking Zhou Yi. His agitation stemmed from Zhou Yi''s constant trouble, often insulting and expelling students, withints piling up year after year. His helplessness was due to Zhou Yi''s husband, the Eighth Rank Soul Master Fan Yu, who held a position second only to Deans Xian Lin''er and Qian Duoduo in the Soul Conductor Department. With Fan Yu''s protection, Du Weilun had no leverage against Zhou Yi. Du Weilun''s tone and expression clearly conveyed his desire to dismiss her, but Zhou Yi remained unmoved, bluntly stating: "Director Du, the freshmen have officially be first-year students of Shrek Academy. They should be working hard to cultivate their soul power, but that''s not the case! Arrogance, impatience, andcency... almost all students exhibit these attitudes. I believe this is extremely detrimental to teaching and student growth!" "After passing the freshman assessment, it''s normal for students to be spirited and enthusiastic. You don''t need to overreact. A few words of encouragement will do," Du Weilun suggested. "You''re wrong, Director Du!" Zhou Yi firmly disagreed, stating, "Students must obey all the teacher''s arrangements and always remain humble and ambitious. Students like Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Wu Feng, and Huang Chutian, who are so arrogant, should all be expelled to uphold Shrek Academy''s reputation!" Sister, are you crazy! Du Weilun felt a surge of anger. He could tolerate expelling others, but the White Tiger Duke''s Manor, Star Luo Netherworld Lineage, and Nine Treasures Crystal Tower... If you keep doing this, you''ll offend all the major forces. How will Shrek recruit students then? Might as well disband the school! Unfazed by Du Weilun''s angry gaze, Zhou Yi dered loudly: "Director Du, since the academy chose me as the homeroom teacher, I will teach ording to my principles. I will suppress the students'' bad attitudes! You have one day toe up with a solution, or I will take action myself!" With that, Zhou Yi turned and left, clearly not seeking a discussion but giving a direct order to Du Weilun! As Zhou Yi strode out of the office, she didn''t even spare a nce for Ling Bai and Ning Tian. The sound of shattering porcin followed from inside the room. Ling Bai and Ning Tian exchanged a few silent nces and decided to enter the office. They saw Du Weilun, who looked like an angry lion, pacing around. Du Weilun was truly furious. Precious porcin decorations were scattered everywhere, and the office was almost unrecognizable. Ling Bai''s soul power swept through, and the fragments were instantly purified by the holy aura of the Six-Winged Angel. Ning Tian opened a small box, revealing a bundle of fresh, green leaves, and said with a smile, "Uncle Du, this is Heavenly Fragrant Snow Green from the extreme north. It''s great for invigorating the mind and calming the anger." "I''m sorry to have caused a scene in front of you two." Du Weilun took a piece of Heavenly Fragrant Snow Green and ced it in his mouth. The icy coolness spread through his mouth and into his mind, extinguishing his boiling anger and restoring his calm. "Little Tian, you should know that woman, right?" "Yes, she''s the homeroom teacher of ss One, Teacher Zhou Yi." "This Zhou Yi is really overstepping her bounds!" Du Weilun took a deep breath and vented his frustrations to the two: "I''ve tolerated her for a long time. She acts without restraint, thanks to Fan Yu''s protection. On the first day of the new term, she expelled nine students for beingzy during running! Sometimes I really want to see what''s inside her head! Those are the best talents on the continent, and she expels them for such trivial matters! Everyone makes mistakes, especially eleven or twelve-year-olds. Teaching and guiding them is a teacher''s responsibility. Zhou Yi''s method of suppressing, obeying, and filtering students ruins Shrek''s reputation. What''s the point of a high graduation rate if the students are destroyed... sigh!" Hearing this, Ling Bai''s eyes flickered. Zhou Yi''s teaching methods were quite peculiar. Her ss had the highest admission and graduation rates because those who didn''t meet the standards were expelled early, leaving only the best of the best! Fortunately, he chose to skip grades and enter the Inner Academy. If he had been a new outer academy student assigned to ss One, Ling Bai wasn''t sure if he would have refrained from fighting with Zhou Yi. Beating up Ma Xiaotao... Beating up Zhou Yi... Ning Tian was especially d she was assigned to ss Nine under Teacher Mujin. After the assessment, Wu Feng, a strong attack-type soul master, was forced to join ss One, and Ning Tian was worried about his short temper. Du Weilun ran his fingers through his hair and sighed heavily, saying, "Zhou Yi wants me to suppress the students'' arrogance. If mishandled, it could destroy their future! I can''t refuse, and if she does it, she won''t hold back!" Du Weilun''s aura of resentment was almost tangible. As the head of the counseling department, he felt truly oppressed, being threatened by a mere homeroom teacher! "Little Tian, Ling Bai, help me think of a solution. We need to remove the students'' arrogance without hurting their fragile egos, and ideally, inspire their fighting spirit and drive them to continue striving." Well, you have high expectations! Ling Bai and Ning Tian looked at each other with odd expressions. We are Shrek students, not wish-granting turtles! "Uncle Du, I think you could find some senior students to solve the problem through soul battles," Ning Tian suggested tentatively. Du Weilun fell into thought, saying, "Senior students... the strongest in the outer academy''s Soul Power Department, Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, and Jiang Nan Nan, only have soul power levels of thirty-eight and thirty-nine, not much higher than Dai Huabin and Xie Huanyue. Moreover, ss One has over sixty students in the strong attack and control typesbined. Even if Bei Bei and Xu San Shi were exhausted, they couldn''t win. If we involve too many senior students, it would lose its effect. But Little Tian''s suggestion is good. If the outer academy students can''t do it, I can find Inner Academy students!" Hmm? Ling Bai suddenly felt a chill down his spine. The Spider Queen''s intuition kicked in! There seems to be danger! The next moment, a soft voice drifted into his ears. "Little Bai..." Du Weilun forced a smile, his face blooming like a chrysanthemum, trying to sound gentle, "Could you help the director out?" Ling Bai instinctively took a step back to maintain a safe distance, smiling bitterly, "Director, I think I know what you''re going to ask..." Du Weilun''s smile grew wider, "You''re about the same age as the freshmen, an Inner Academy disciple, with a divine martial soul and exceeding soul rings. You''re a surefire candidate for the Shrek Seven Monsters next year, and you know how to control your strength. Other Inner Academy disciples are either too old or not strong enough. I thought about it, and you''re the best fit! I''ve decided on you, Little Bai!" "6." Ling Bai''s facial muscles twitched. Yesterday, Director Du introduced Ning Tian to the two deans of the Soul Conductor Department, and today he was asking for help. The boomerang hit him right in the face, and he couldn''t bring himself to refuse! "You decide, Director." Ling Bai pinched his nose and agreed. "Hehe, I knew you had a good heart!" Du Weilun looked like he had achieved his goal, saying, "We need to discuss the details. Everything has its limits. In the first ss this afternoon, I''ll have Zhou Yi lead the ss One students to the yground, then you''ll make your grand entrance. First, verbally mock them harshly, then physically mock them, and finally, end with another harsh verbal mocking!" Ling Bai was speechless, "Why must it be so harshly mocking?" Du Weilun scratched his head, puzzled, "To spark the first-year students'' fighting spirit! Mocking is very effective!" "Times have changed, Director Du!" Ling Bai was deeply concerned. The head of the Soul Power Department at Shrek Academy was socking in creativity! "Can we think about this from a different angle?" "Quick, tell me more!" "First, it''s unfair to only target ss One. You should call all the first-year students, and I''ll take care of them all at once. "Ah? I think you''re even more mocking than me." "That''s not the point... Second, you and I should..." "Tsk tsk tsk, you''re giving me goosebumps with all your schemes! You have too many tricks up your sleeve!" An hour passed quietly, and Ling Bai and Ning Tian left the Soul Power Department teaching building. Suddenly, Ning Tian remembered something and eximed: "Brother Bai, I forgot to give Director Du the Ten Thousand Year Seventh Rank Ginseng King!" Ling Bai snorted, "Forget it, there are over four hundred first-year students. Save it for me!" Ning Tian couldn''t help but smile, curious, "Brother Bai, why did you volunteer to challenge all the first-year students?" "To help Old Du solve all his problems at once."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Ning Tian nodded lightly, seemingly convinced, but her intuition told her that Ling Bai''s motives were moreplex. Ling Bai gazed into the distance, his golden eyes unusually deep and inscrutable. Little Tian, someone needs to stand up for you and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Challenging three outer academy freshmen is bullying, but one against four hundred is not bullying! PS: The editor notified me that the book will be released on the first day, so there will be three updates tomorrow (6k words)! Actually, this isn''t the author''s first time writing and releasing a book. His debut novel was a Douluo Continent fanfiction, which he wrote for about 800,000 words. For Sword Bone and Angel Glory, the original character name was Ling Chen, but it kept turning into the first book''s protagonist, Ling Bai, so he decided not to change it, ha ha. New book, new start. I promise to update 4k words daily and aim for 2 million! Thank you all for your support over the past month, for all the collections, follows, rmendations, monthly votes, and donations! Here are the answers to your questions: 1. The Ice and Snow Emperors will not give Huo Guo Hang. 2. Autumn and winter will not bebined; autumn is autumn. 3. No widespread soul beasts; the protagonist will create a method to resolve the conflict between soul masters and soul beasts. 4. No need to overly focus on the soul rings and soul bones during the growth period; they will all evolve to ten-thousand-year levels in the end. 5. The protagonist will not learn soul conductor making but will use and support the development of soul conductors. 6. No inheriting divine positions; he will recast and evolve the Angel and Rakshasa divine positions. 7. The protagonist will be bnced between good and evil, neither overly righteous nor harming innocent civilians, and will refuse to do things like blowing up Mingdu. 8. Supporting the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and the original Douluo Continent,ter forming his own faction, opposing the Main Body Sect (alreadyid the groundwork), the Tianhun Imperial Family (the plot hasn''t reached that point), the Sun Moon Empire (supporting soul conductors does not mean supporting the unification of the continent by the Sun Moon Empire), and the Holy Spirit Sect (evil soul masters, no exnation needed). 9. There are many conflicts in the settings of the four Douluo novels, and the author will choose and adapt them appropriately. 10. I''m going home for the weekend. If the release data is good, I''ll add more updates! Finally, thank you all for your support, and I wish you a happy new year and all the best. Please subscribe!

Her delicate, round shoulders trembled, and tears silently streamed down her face, glistening and transparent. She gazed intently at the figure before her, his features clean and warm, as if retaining thest rays ofte spring. His bright, golden eyes shone like morning stars, and theughter in their depths seemed to gather all the world''s beauty. Ling Bai defeated everyone with the grace of a descending god, yet he admitted his defeat to himself. What Ning Tian cared about was not the soul bone, but the feeling of being favored by Ling Bai. This feeling was like Cupid firing an Italian Cannon at her, leaving her dazed and surrendering. "Brother Bai, I..." Ning Tian''s red lips parted slightly, as if she was about to say something, but Ling Bai, who knew her well, ced a finger on her lips and chuckled, "Xiao Tian, I''ve seen your recent mood and actions, and I understand what you want to do. The Medusa Skull is a solidifying soul skill, and Medusa''s Gaze will surely be a great help on your future path. Besides, I''ve already given it to you, with so many people watching. Don''t make me lose face, okay?" "Mm!" Ning Tian nodded vigorously, solemnly vowing not to disappoint Ling Bai! The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower has sent its direct disciples to Shrek Academy for generations, so they have a good understanding of Shrek''s patterns. The Continent-Wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Duel Tournament is held every five years, and next year will be the time for the next tournament. Shrek Academy will send two teams: the Shrek Seven Monsters and the Seven Monsters Reserve Team,posed of inner and outer academy disciples, respectively. The Seven Monsters Reserve Team-she and Huo Yuhao''s trio will surely have another intense battle! Ning Tian is not the type to endure humiliation silently. She wants to wash away her disgrace with dignity! At this moment, the two of them looked deeply devoted, feeding the single-dog food to the four hundred and more first-year students. Cao Jinxuan slowly woke up, turning his head to see Ling Bai and Ning Tian feeding each other, and immediately turned to his good friend Zhou Sichen,menting, "Brother Zhou, do I look like a cheap person? Why do I get hit the moment I open my eyes!" "Just don''t look." Zhou Sichen pulled down Cao Jinxuan''s eyelids, murmuring, "It''s not our fault, it''s the fault of this world that mocks single dogs." "Brother Zhou, I''m so upset. I can''t beat him, and now I can''t even outy him!" It wasn''t just Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen; the first-year boys all looked sour, as if they had eaten two pounds of sour plums. Whether in appearance, personality, talent, or background, Ning Tian was wless. Thus, many male students decided to embark on the ''dog-licking'' journey, and senior disciples, upon learning that the sessor of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had appeared, also pursued Ning Tian fiercely, hoping to climb the socialdder. The male students felt bitter, as Ning Tian never showed any interest in her suitors, making them believe they still had a chance to win her heart, in case the goddess went blind one day. Now their hopes were shattered. A peer, who surpassed them in both talent and looks, appeared out of nowhere, forming a deep connection with Ning Tian at first sight! Ling Bai seemed to be taken, and the female students naturally felt very sorry, but their innate talent for gossip and CP brain fever made them temporarily forget the handsome guy and the battle defeat. The Lan Sisters and other fangirls watched the well-matched couple from afar, their faces breaking into silly, pink smiles. Everything was harmonious and friendly, except for Wu Feng''s furious grinding of teeth, which somewhat disrupted the atmosphere. "What a thrilling battle!" The head of the Soul Master Department, Du Weilun, led the apuse, and the stands soon echoed with the teachers'' approving ps. "Teacher Li, thank you for your trouble." "No problem." Teacher Li, a middle-aged man in white, raised his smooth, childlike hands, and gentle green light grew from his palms. Seven soul rings, yellow, purple, ck, and ck, rose from his feet, revealing him to be a Soul Saint. The green light formed the shape of leaves, and Teacher Li''s sixth soul ring flickered. A gentle breeze seemed to blow through the Soul Duel Arena, and four hundred and fifty-one green leaves flew out,nding lightly on Ling Bai and the first-year students'' foreheads. A cool, life-affirming energy instantly nourished their bodies, dispelling the fatigue and weakness from soul power depletion, healing minor injuries from the battle, and rapidly restoring their physical strength. A top-tier healing soul master, the Tree of Life. Under the Tree of Life''s nourishment, the students returned to their peak state. Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Dai Huabin, and others woke up. If not for Ling Bai and Ning Tian standing in the center of the Soul Duel Arena, they would have thought it was just a bad dream. Three pairs of eyes instantly locked onto Ling Bai. Dai Huabin''s was pure battle intent. He and Ling Bai were strangers, with no enmity between them. The White Tiger soul master is abat and killing soul master, and Dai Huabin had previously believed he was unbeatable among his peers. Now he finally had a target to chase! In contrast, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong''s eyes were much moreplex. The former''s eyes were a mix of wariness, disappointment, battle intent, fear, and awe, like a pie chart. Thetter''s eyes held a deep, hidden hatred. Teacher Li finished his healing and retreated to the teachers'' ranks. Du Weilun cleared his throat, and his loud voice echoed throughout the arena, "First-year students, did you see that? This is what Shrek''s inner academy is like, this is what a true monster is! Four hundred and fifty students, unable to defeat one peer!" Hearing this, the first-year students lowered their heads in shame. No one present was stupid; Ling Bai''s defeat by Ning Tian was just a formality. No one would foolishly im they won with the help of a support soul master like Ning Tian. "I can clearly tell you that Shrek is a paradise for monsters, only monsters can enter, and only the best of the best can leave! And the inner academy disciples, like Ling Bai, climbed in by stepping on the heads of countless monsters. Most of your talents and abilities are uncertain, and whether you can graduate from the outer academy is still unknown, let alone the inner academy!" Du Weilun''s words were a heavy blow to the first-year students. The harsh reality wasid bare before them. The monsters from all over the continent, kneeling before a towering, monstrous figure, saw their pride from passing the freshman exam vanish, and their mindset became as cautious as walking on thin ice. Ling Bai leisurely surveyed the crowd. Du Weilun was indeed exaggerating, but it was a teaching method. Just like in the past, making you do an extremely difficult test to suppress you, the ultimate goal was not to suppress but to motivate through shame. Du Weilun continued, "Given your poor performance, I have decided to add an exam next year! All of you will challenge Ling Bai again. If your performance is still this bad, then please leave Shrek voluntarily, so you don''t waste several years of your precious time failing the graduation exam!" Huh? No! It was supposed to be one battle, why suddenly another? Ling Bai saw through it; Du Weilun was not a good person! Ning Tian felt deeply humiliated by her loss to Huo Yuhao and vowed to reim her honor. The four hundred plus losers, hearing they could fight Ling Bai again, were also filled with a burning desire to battle, a me raging within them. Ling Bai cursed Du Weilun in his heart, "You damn troublemaker!" The n ended perfectly, and Du Weilun''s worries were lifted. He turned to Zhou Yi and said, "Remember to fulfill our bet. I expect to see your transfer application tomorrow morning." "Understood." Zhou Yi clenched her teeth, seemingly forcing out the words. The position of ss teacher at the continent''s top soul master academy was a dream for many soul masters, but she lost it so easily, and now she had to roll over to the soul conductor department to do logistics. She was not willing! "Director Du, I''ve contributed to the Soul Master Department over the years, with the highest graduation rate among all teachers! Give me another chance, I promise not to dismiss students arbitrarily..." The situation was dire, and Zhou Yi began to soften, listing her achievements to Du Weilun, but he remained unmoved, coldly saying, "A gentleman''s word is as binding as a horse''s gallop. Is Teacher Zhou the type to make promises lightly?" As he spoke, a Soul Douluo-level pressure enveloped Zhou Yi, making her bones creak and her face contort as if she would shatter at any moment. Zhou Yi, under the pressure, sweat pouring down her face, managed to say, "I''m sorry, Director Du. My transfer application will be submitted to you tomorrow." Du Weilun withdrew the pressure, nodding in satisfaction. He then remembered something and said, "The bet also includes a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone. Fulfill it soon." Zhou Yi clenched her fists, veins bulging on her forehead. She took a deep breath, reached into her storage soul conductor, and pulled out a white jade box, tossing it to Du Weilun before hastily leaving, heading towards the soul conductor department. "That''s it for today. Everyone go back to your dorms and practice hard. Teachers, get some rest. Ling Bai,e to the director''s office!" As the sky grew dark, Du Weilun dismissed the first-year students and teachers, but specifically kept Ling Bai behind. "Today is a good day. Zhou Yi''s gone, and I''m so happy~" On the way, Ling Bai suffered from Du Weilun''s annoying voice, maintaining a five-meter safety distance from him with a deadpan face. "Bang!" Du Weilun closed the office door, his face splitting into a red grin. The Soul Master Department had rid itself of Zhou Yi like a patient cutting out a tumor. No more overflowingint boxes, no more geniuses being dismissed for no reason. Seeing Ling Bai''s speechless expression, Du Weilun took out the jade box and pushed it towards him, smiling, "This is a Ten-Thousand-Year Mad Rhino right leg soul bone, worth at least a million gold soul coins. It''s your fee." Ling Bai saw through it; Du Weilun was a good person! Making a million in one afternoon, hehe, next time too! "Director Du, you''re too kind. I''m a senior and should naturally take care of the growth of the outer academy juniors!" Ling Bai mouthed the words, but his hands didn''t slow in taking the jade box. "Enough, no need for false modesty!" Du Weilunughed heartily, "You''ve worked hard today. Go back to Sea God Ind and rest!" Ling Bai thanked him with a smile. This solo battle against all the first-year students helped Ning Tian save face and earned him a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone. Du Weilun cleared Zhou Yi from the Soul Master Department and ignited the students'' passion for practice. Both got what they wanted; no one lost out. As Ling Bai walked out of the Soul Master Department building, the sky was dark, and a full moon rose high, casting a silver glow. The night view of Shrek Academy was beautiful. Ling Bai bathed in the moonlight, appreciating the scenery, feeling his soul cleansed, and his fatigue and worries vanished. Fifteen minutester, Ling Bai reached the outer academy''s Sea God Lake. Just as he was about to cross theke, a familiar fiery red figure appeared in his field of vision. Wu Feng! Seeing Wu Feng, Ling Bai rubbed his eyes in disbelief. This guy was running around the Sea God Lake at night! "Um..." Ling Bai couldn''t help butugh and cry. Running at midnight, Wu Feng had learned all the bad habits of Shrek! What, copying Huo Yuhao? He has a cheat, do you? For a soul master, running is like a fish riding a bicycle. The effect of running is negligible. Huo Yuhao ran to exhaust his energy, making the Mystic Sky Technique better nourish his meridians. Recing running with sit-ups would have the same effect. So... Wu Feng, what''s your problem? "Huff... Huff..." Wu Feng''s white school uniform was thoroughly soaked. Her figure was already fiery, and now it was even more enticing, with a curvaceous figure. Seeing Ling Bai, she ignored him, panting heavily and continuing her run. Ling Bai crossed his arms, remaining calm. Human strength has its limits, he thought. Onep... twops... fiveps... Wu Feng ranp afterp, losing count of how many she had run. Her feet felt heavy as lead, her body exhausted, her feet aching, and her breathing painful. She bit her lips until they turned white, unwilling to stop in front of Ling Bai. Her soul power and physical strength werepletely drained, relying solely on her willpower. But the human body has its limits, and Wu Feng copsed in front of Ling Bai with a thud. "Sss-" Wu Feng sucked in a cold breath, trying several times to push herself up but failing. Then, she felt a shadow over her. She knew who it was, and precisely because she knew, she desperately wanted to get up. "In the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s basic soul master education, there is no mention of running to promote cultivation." Sitting on the ground, she slowly raised her head, her red and golden eyes meeting. A mistyyer of tears formed in Wu Feng''s eyes, and she struggled to hold back, but the tears fell like broken pearls. Her fiery red hair was wet, with two strands sticking to her pale cheeks. "Ling Bai, I want to be stronger..." She murmured. "Louder, I can''t hear you." "Ling Bai, I want to be stronger!" Somehow, Wu Feng leapt up and shouted at Ling Bai. "You bully me, but I endured it for Ning Tian. Now, when others bully Ning Tian, it''s uneptable! Ling Bai, I know you''re much stronger than those outer academy teachers. Please, teach me to be stronger! I want to help Ning Tian defeat all her opponents, no matter what it takes!" On the night by the Sea God Lake, the girl shouted out her frustration and her desire to be stronger! "No matter what, including your life?" Ling Bai asked. "Life, soul, I don''t want them. I only want strength!" When Ning Tian fled with her face in her hands, her heart shattered. Wu Feng vowed that Ning Tian would never feel the humiliation of failure again in her life! "Rent a private room at the Soul Duel Arena. After the Soul Master Department sses end, I''ll wait for you there. Every night, I''ll personally train you for two hours, in practical combat." Ling Bai rose into the air, his clear voice resonating in Wu Feng''s ears. "Okay!" Wu Feng''s eyes gleamed. If there was a choice, who would like to run stupidly! "Don''t cry to the heavens and earth like when you were a kid after losing."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Hearing this, Wu Feng''s cheeks flushed, and she shouted, "Impossible! One day, I will surpass you!" In the air, two golden characters appeared, dancing like dragons and phoenixes. Expectation.

Thepatibility of their soul beasts surpassed even the Netherworld White Tiger, researched for ten thousand years by the Dai and Zhu families, reaching an astonishing 100%, allowing the Soul Power Fusion Skill to unleash a terrifying power far beyond their own soul power! Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were confident that if the Golden Path hit and deprived the Six- Winged Angel of its Angel Wings, just the fall from the sky would be enough to give Ling Bai a hard time. The timing of the Golden Path was very subtle, using Huo Yuhao''s Mental Detection Sharing, they carefully chose the perfect moment when Ling Bai had just shattered the Netherworld White Tiger and seemed to be feeling proud. However, the Spider Empress'' perception was like a radar, constantly monitoring the slightest movements around her, sensing any hostility toward Ling Bai. The moment Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong''s soul beasts fused, Ling Bai instantly felt a sense of rm. The Golden Path had a glorious record, but this Soul Power Fusion Skill had a fatal w: it was a straight- line release! With prior knowledge, dodging the Golden Path was as easy as crossing a quiet morning street for the Six-Winged Angel. Even though Ling Bai could dodge it cleanly, it wasn''t necessary. A One-Ringed Soul Master and a Two-Ringed Soul Master''s Soul Power Fusion Skill wasn''t worth dodging! His right arm suddenly burst into golden light, the intense golden glow making Ling Bai''s entire right arm transparent, as if the audience could see the tree-like veins branching out inside! The first-year students and some of the weaker beast soul teachers suddenly began to tremble, sensing an inexplicable pressure. This pressure wasn''t from soul power, but from deep within their blood, an innate force that made them submit, fear, and kneel before it!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Momentster, the pressure grew even stronger, and everyone''s gaze focused on the source of the pressure, the golden figure in the sky. For a moment, they forgot to breathe. "Roar-" A dragon''s roar suddenly echoed, shaking the heavens! A golden dragon slowly appeared, its eyes slightly opening, exuding a majestic aura that dominated the world! The zing Bone Dragon Gryphon''s right arm soul bone skill, Sacred Dragon True Form! The holy dragon''s birth, all things submit! The zing Bone Dragon Gryphon contained the Holy Light Dragon''s bloodline, and the Sacred Dragon True Form naturally possessed the Holy Light Dragon''s Dragon Aura. Even a single strand of this Dragon Aura could make soul beasts and beast soul users bow down, for it was a true dragon! The sky changed, the holy dragon soared, and the deafening dragon''s roar echoed throughout the Shrek Academy Outer Court. The Six-Winged Angelbined with the Holy Light Dragon, and even the sunlight seemed to retreat! At the entrance of the first-year dormitory, an old man lounging in a recliner turned his head toward the soul duel arena, nodded slightly, and silently said two words: Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Ling Bai, I Want to Become Strong (4K) Chapter 70: Ling Bai, I Want to Be Strong (4K) ?

Her delicate, round shoulders trembled, and tears silently streamed down her face, glistening and transparent. She gazed intently at the figure before her, his features clean and warm, as if retaining thest rays ofte spring. His bright, golden eyes shone like morning stars, and theughter in their depths seemed to gather all the world''s beauty. Ling Bai defeated everyone with the grace of a descending god, yet he admitted his defeat to himself. What Ning Tian cared about was not the soul bone, but the feeling of being favored by Ling Bai. This feeling was like Cupid firing an Italian Cannon at her, leaving her dazed and surrendering. "Brother Bai, I..." Ning Tian''s red lips parted slightly, as if she was about to say something, but Ling Bai, who knew her well, ced a finger on her lips and chuckled, "Xiao Tian, I''ve seen your recent mood and actions, and I understand what you want to do. The Medusa Skull is a solidifying soul skill, and Medusa''s Gaze will surely be a great help on your future path. Besides, I''ve already given it to you, with so many people watching. Don''t make me lose face, okay?" "Mm!"n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Ning Tian nodded vigorously, solemnly vowing not to disappoint Ling Bai! The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower has sent its direct disciples to Shrek Academy for generations, so they have a good understanding of Shrek''s patterns. The Continent-Wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Duel Tournament is held every five years, and next year will be the time for the next tournament. Shrek Academy will send two teams: the Shrek Seven Monsters and the Seven Monsters Reserve Team,posed of inner and outer academy disciples, respectively. The Seven Monsters Reserve Team-she and Huo Yuhao''s trio will surely have another intense battle! Ning Tian is not the type to endure humiliation silently. She wants to wash away her disgrace with dignity! At this moment, the two of them looked deeply devoted, feeding the single-dog food to the four hundred and more first-year students. Cao Jinxuan slowly woke up, turning his head to see Ling Bai and Ning Tian feeding each other, and immediately turned to his good friend Zhou Sichen,menting, "Brother Zhou, do I look like a cheap person? Why do I get hit the moment I open my eyes!" "Just don''t look." Zhou Sichen pulled down Cao Jinxuan''s eyelids, murmuring, "It''s not our fault, it''s the fault of this world that mocks single dogs." "Brother Zhou, I''m so upset. I can''t beat him, and now I can''t even outy him!" It wasn''t just Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen; the first-year boys all looked sour, as if they had eaten two pounds of sour plums. Whether in appearance, personality, talent, or background, Ning Tian was wless. Thus, many male students decided to embark on the ''dog-licking'' journey, and senior disciples, upon learning that the sessor of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had appeared, also pursued Ning Tian fiercely, hoping to climb the socialdder. The male students felt bitter, as Ning Tian never showed any interest in her suitors, making them believe they still had a chance to win her heart, in case the goddess went blind one day. Now their hopes were shattered. A peer, who surpassed them in both talent and looks, appeared out of nowhere, forming a deep connection with Ning Tian at first sight! Ling Bai seemed to be taken, and the female students naturally felt very sorry, but their innate talent for gossip and CP brain fever made them temporarily forget the handsome guy and the battle defeat. The Lan Sisters and other fangirls watched the well-matched couple from afar, their faces breaking into silly, pink smiles. Everything was harmonious and friendly, except for Wu Feng''s furious grinding of teeth, which somewhat disrupted the atmosphere. "What a thrilling battle!" The head of the Soul Master Department, Du Weilun, led the apuse, and the stands soon echoed with the teachers'' approving ps. "Teacher Li, thank you for your trouble." "No problem." Teacher Li, a middle-aged man in white, raised his smooth, childlike hands, and gentle green light grew from his palms. Seven soul rings, yellow, purple, ck, and ck, rose from his feet, revealing him to be a Soul Saint. The green light formed the shape of leaves, and Teacher Li''s sixth soul ring flickered. A gentle breeze seemed to blow through the Soul Duel Arena, and four hundred and fifty-one green leaves flew out,nding lightly on Ling Bai and the first-year students'' foreheads. A cool, life-affirming energy instantly nourished their bodies, dispelling the fatigue and weakness from soul power depletion, healing minor injuries from the battle, and rapidly restoring their physical strength. A top-tier healing soul master, the Tree of Life. Under the Tree of Life''s nourishment, the students returned to their peak state. Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Dai Huabin, and others woke up. If not for Ling Bai and Ning Tian standing in the center of the Soul Duel Arena, they would have thought it was just a bad dream. Three pairs of eyes instantly locked onto Ling Bai. Dai Huabin''s was pure battle intent. He and Ling Bai were strangers, with no enmity between them. The White Tiger soul master is abat and killing soul master, and Dai Huabin had previously believed he was unbeatable among his peers. Now he finally had a target to chase! In contrast, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong''s eyes were much moreplex. The former''s eyes were a mix of wariness, disappointment, battle intent, fear, and awe, like a pie chart. Thetter''s eyes held a deep, hidden hatred. Teacher Li finished his healing and retreated to the teachers'' ranks. Du Weilun cleared his throat, and his loud voice echoed throughout the arena, "First-year students, did you see that? This is what Shrek''s inner academy is like, this is what a true monster is! Four hundred and fifty students, unable to defeat one peer!" Hearing this, the first-year students lowered their heads in shame. No one present was stupid; Ling Bai''s defeat by Ning Tian was just a formality. No one would foolishly im they won with the help of a support soul master like Ning Tian. "I can clearly tell you that Shrek is a paradise for monsters, only monsters can enter, and only the best of the best can leave! And the inner academy disciples, like Ling Bai, climbed in by stepping on the heads of countless monsters. Most of your talents and abilities are uncertain, and whether you can graduate from the outer academy is still unknown, let alone the inner academy!" Du Weilun''s words were a heavy blow to the first-year students. The harsh reality wasid bare before them. The monsters from all over the continent, kneeling before a towering, monstrous figure, saw their pride from passing the freshman exam vanish, and their mindset became as cautious as walking on thin ice. Ling Bai leisurely surveyed the crowd. Du Weilun was indeed exaggerating, but it was a teaching method. Just like in the past, making you do an extremely difficult test to suppress you, the ultimate goal was not to suppress but to motivate through shame. Du Weilun continued, "Given your poor performance, I have decided to add an exam next year! All of you will challenge Ling Bai again. If your performance is still this bad, then please leave Shrek voluntarily, so you don''t waste several years of your precious time failing the graduation exam!" Huh? No! It was supposed to be one battle, why suddenly another? Ling Bai saw through it; Du Weilun was not a good person! Ning Tian felt deeply humiliated by her loss to Huo Yuhao and vowed to reim her honor. The four hundred plus losers, hearing they could fight Ling Bai again, were also filled with a burning desire to battle, a me raging within them. Ling Bai cursed Du Weilun in his heart, "You damn troublemaker!" The n ended perfectly, and Du Weilun''s worries were lifted. He turned to Zhou Yi and said, "Remember to fulfill our bet. I expect to see your transfer application tomorrow morning." "Understood." Zhou Yi clenched her teeth, seemingly forcing out the words. The position of ss teacher at the continent''s top soul master academy was a dream for many soul masters, but she lost it so easily, and now she had to roll over to the soul conductor department to do logistics. She was not willing! "Director Du, I''ve contributed to the Soul Master Department over the years, with the highest graduation rate among all teachers! Give me another chance, I promise not to dismiss students arbitrarily..." The situation was dire, and Zhou Yi began to soften, listing her achievements to Du Weilun, but he remained unmoved, coldly saying, "A gentleman''s word is as binding as a horse''s gallop. Is Teacher Zhou the type to make promises lightly?" As he spoke, a Soul Douluo-level pressure enveloped Zhou Yi, making her bones creak and her face contort as if she would shatter at any moment. Zhou Yi, under the pressure, sweat pouring down her face, managed to say, "I''m sorry, Director Du. My transfer application will be submitted to you tomorrow." Du Weilun withdrew the pressure, nodding in satisfaction. He then remembered something and said, "The bet also includes a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone. Fulfill it soon." Zhou Yi clenched her fists, veins bulging on her forehead. She took a deep breath, reached into her storage soul conductor, and pulled out a white jade box, tossing it to Du Weilun before hastily leaving, heading towards the soul conductor department. "That''s it for today. Everyone go back to your dorms and practice hard. Teachers, get some rest. Ling Bai,e to the director''s office!" As the sky grew dark, Du Weilun dismissed the first-year students and teachers, but specifically kept Ling Bai behind. "Today is a good day. Zhou Yi''s gone, and I''m so happy~" On the way, Ling Bai suffered from Du Weilun''s annoying voice, maintaining a five-meter safety distance from him with a deadpan face. "Bang!" Du Weilun closed the office door, his face splitting into a red grin. The Soul Master Department had rid itself of Zhou Yi like a patient cutting out a tumor. No more overflowingint boxes, no more geniuses being dismissed for no reason. Seeing Ling Bai''s speechless expression, Du Weilun took out the jade box and pushed it towards him, smiling, "This is a Ten-Thousand-Year Mad Rhino right leg soul bone, worth at least a million gold soul coins. It''s your fee." Ling Bai saw through it; Du Weilun was a good person! Making a million in one afternoon, hehe, next time too! "Director Du, you''re too kind. I''m a senior and should naturally take care of the growth of the outer academy juniors!" Ling Bai mouthed the words, but his hands didn''t slow in taking the jade box. "Enough, no need for false modesty!" Du Weilunughed heartily, "You''ve worked hard today. Go back to Sea God Ind and rest!" Ling Bai thanked him with a smile. This solo battle against all the first-year students helped Ning Tian save face and earned him a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone. Du Weilun cleared Zhou Yi from the Soul Master Department and ignited the students'' passion for practice. Both got what they wanted; no one lost out.

Time flew by like a white horse passing through a gap, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed. If counted from the day Ling Bai entered Shrek Academy, it had been six months already. Afterpleting the inner courtyard''s new student assessment task and capturing Medusa, Ling Bai returned to a peaceful and fulfilling study life. In the early morning, he would have breakfast with Senior Sister Han Ruoru, then go to the Library to read ssics or attend some interesting courses. In the afternoon, he would friendly spar with the many inner courtyard disciples waiting at the Soul Duel Arena, honing hisbat awareness and techniques. In the evening, after sending Ning Tian to the Soul Conductor Department, he would train the little rookie Wu Feng in the outer courtyard. To avenge their humiliation at the hands of Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, the two girls trained almost to the point of madness. As soon as the Soul Master ss ended, Ning Tian and Ling Bai, along with Wu Feng, hurriedly ate dinner and then rushed to the Soul Conductor Department building to pester Xian Lin''er for intensive soul conductor knowledge. In just three months, they independently manufactured aplete Level 1 Soul Conductor Device, bing Level 1 Soul Conductor Masters and are now striving to be Level 2 Soul Conductor Masters. Xian Lin''er, as a teacher, was delighted by Ning Tian''s outstanding talent and passionate attitude towards soul conductors, wishing she could directly pour all her knowledge into her beloved disciple''s head. Therefore, she became even more strict and meticulous. The enthusiasm of the teacher and student duo made the neighboring Qian Fufu tremble, sping his hands together and silently praying that Qian Duoduo wouldn''t pressure himself. Wu Feng''s effort was no less than Ning Tian''s. She didn''t reveal to Ning Tian that she had asked Ling Bai for extra training, hoping to surprise Ning Tian with a big improvement. Ling Bai kept it a secret, and while Ning Tian was learning about soul conductors, Wu Feng was enduring intense practicalbat training. ording to the teachers patrolling the outer courtyard''s Soul Duel Arena training room, they could hear a woman''s scream every night, asionally mixed with a cold and stern male voice, givingmands like ''continue,'' ''don''t stop,'' ''get up,'' and ''you can''t handle it after just a few minutes''... Wu Feng, though spoiled and stubborn, had the greatest strength of never giving up easily. She gritted her teeth and endured the relentless attacks of the Six-Winged Angel, improving from being defeated in three seconds to ten seconds, thirty seconds, one minute, three minutes... Ling Bai personally witnessed Wu Feng''s growth. The young girl fulfilled her vow under the night sky, stumbling but determinedly moving forward. Failure is not scary; what''s scary is losing the will to fight. Ling Bai was very pleased that Ning Tian and Wu Feng could grow from their failures. At this moment, Ling Bai was heading to the inner courtyard''s Soul Duel Arena. Today was the Seven Monsters Challenge, apetition among fourteen geniuses under the age of twenty, where only the seven strongest would earn the title of Shrek Academy''s Seven Monsters and qualify to represent Shrek Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Duel Tournament held every five years. The weather today was not good, even very bad. Cold winds howled, bringing a bone-chilling cold. The sky was dark and gloomy, with thick clouds gathering, foretelling an impending storm, making people feel an inexplicable oppression. The importance of Shrek Academy''s Seven Monsters goes without saying. The academy specially sealed off the entire Soul Duel Arena, not allowing any spectators to enter to avoid interference. Ling Bai walked straight into the Soul Duel Arena. There were already many people gathered inside. At a nce, the most prominent was a woman in red, with a slender and well- proportioned figure, long fiery red hair cascading to her waist, wless features, and a pair of mesmerizing pink eyes. Her arms were crossed, entuating her already ample and sexy figure, enough to make 99% of women feel inferior. The moment Ma Xiaotao saw Ling Bai, her eyes lit up, and she said, "You''re finally here. Now we only need Dugu Lin." Ling Bai smiled lightly and replied, "Not thest one, someone is giving me a cushion, which is good." Chu Qingtian approached quietly and whispered, "Brother Ling, are you nervous?" "Why should I be nervous?" Ling Bai countered. Chu Qingtian was momentarily stunned, then suddenly reacted and said helplessly, "...Right, I forgot you''re different from us. You can easily secure a ce among the Seven Monsters." Ling Bai''s reputation had long spread throughout the inner courtyard. Inner courtyard disciples below level 65 would generally avoid him, no questions asked. They had all been beaten up at the Soul Duel Arena. All of the main Shrek Academy Seven Monsters, except for the auxiliary-type Gongyang Mo, had suffered at his hands. "Don''t say discouraging words. The Electric Mad Leopard has a slightly higher quality than the Lightning Leopard. Even with a soul ring difference, you have a chance to defeat Xi Xi," Ling Bai patted Chu Qingtian''s shoulder tofort him. "Sigh, I''ll do my best..." Chu Qingtian sighed deeply, knowing the odds of defeating Xi Xi were at most 20%. Now everything was ready except for Dugu Lin. The crowd waited until thunder cracked and heavy rain poured, but still, there was no sign of Dugu Lin. "Elder Xuan, when will the challenge start?" someone asked impatiently. In the center of the Soul Duel Arena, Elder Xuan was still his usual unkempt self, a chicken leg in one hand and a wine gourd in the other, enjoying his meal. A transparent soul power barrier surrounded him, preventing the rain from spoiling his food. Elder Xuan looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Dugu Lin has not arrived at the Soul Duel Arena within the specified time, and is considered to have voluntarily given up the candidacy for Shrek Academy''s Seven Monsters!" As soon as the words were spoken, Ling Luochen let out a sigh of relief, her tense body rxing. ording to the challenge rules, only a fellow control-type soul master like Dugu Lin could challenge her. Dugu Lin''s poison skills were terrifying. A four-ringed Bilihui poison could suppress a five- ringed ice element. Dugu Lin had broken through to Soul King three months ago. If Dugu Lin challenged her, Ling Luochen had little confidence in winning and would likely have to step down from the main Shrek Academy Seven Monsters. Although it seemed unambitious, Ling Luochen was secretly relieved. She had received seven years of education from both the inner and outer courtyards of Shrek Academy, and the resolve to fight for Shrek Academy''s ten-thousand-year glory was deeply ingrained in her bones. Ling Bai frowned. Dugu Lin might not value the title of Seven Monsters much, but she didn''t seem like someone who would easily give up the chance to earn honor. Did something happen? Elder Xuan put away his wine gourd, wiped his greasy hands with his clothes, and announced in a loud voice, "I hereby dere the Seven Monsters Challenge begins! Challengers, choose your opponents!" Six people stepped forward to select their targets among the Seven Monsters. Electric Mad Leopard Chu Qingtian VS Lightning Leopard Xi Xi, Ghost Vine Zhou Sen, auxiliary-type Pan Tao VS Yao Haoxuan, Gongyang Mo, and to everyone''s surprise, Strong Gori Tai Xing challenged the top-ranked White Tiger Dai Yueheng. Seeing Tai Xing getting closer, even Dai Yueheng, an experienced senior student, couldn''t help but widen his eyes. A Soul Master challenging a Spirit Emperor.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Not a big brother, how dare you! Are you also called Ling Bai? "I know I can''t beat any of the Seven Monsters," Tai Xing shrugged, answering Dai Yueheng''s confusion, "So I hope to challenge the strongest, at least to gain more experience." "Alright, I will give it my all." Dai Yueheng respected Tai Xing''s courage to climb the peak. Chen Zifeng closed his eyes tightly, praying fervently, "Ancestor Tang San, please, no one finds me! No one finds me!" Then he slowly opened his eyes, only to see an exceptionally handsome face. Ling Bai! "Junior Brother Ling, to be honest, the opponent I least want to face is you." Chen Zifeng''s expression turned as unpleasant as if he had eaten a fly. Last month, he had been matched with Ling Bai in the Soul Duel Arena, and the result was being thoroughly beaten. Compared to the wless abilities of the Six-Winged Angel, Chen Zifeng would rather face the Spirit Emperor Ma Xiaotao head-on. "Tai Xing challenged Dai Yueheng, and Ma Xiaotao found Qian Fufu," Ling Bai said. The implication was that he could challenge three people, and with Dai Yueheng and Qian Fufu already taken, only Chen Zifeng was left in the arena. Upon hearing this, Chen Zifeng''s expression turned even worse, as if he had eaten two flies. "The match begins!" Elder Xuan ignored Chen Zifeng''s desire to cry and directly unveiled the Seven Monsters Challenge. "Junior Brother Ling, let''s talk this through, okay?" Chen Zifeng knew that a direct attack would not be enough to defeat Ling Bai, so he abandoned brute force and chose to use his wits. "What do you mean?" Chen Zifeng chuckled and said, "You have the Holy Angel Sword, and I have the Soul-Chasing Sword. How about we seal our soul skills and soul power and justpete in swordsmanship?" "Swordsmanship... are you sure?" Ling Bai''s expression was subtle. "Yes, yes!" Chen Zifeng nodded rapidly, seeing this as the only chance to turn the tide. "Alright." Ling Bai agreed, and golden light gathered in his right hand, forming the magnificent Holy Angel Sword. The moment the Holy Angel Sword appeared, an unstoppable momentum burst forth. Without even looking, one might think that a sharp sword, not a person, stood here. Seeing this, Chen Zifeng''s demeanor shifted from yful to serious. Dense blood-red light rose, and he held a blood-colored slender sword, the top-tier strong attack-type weapon soul, the Soul-Chasing Sword. A heavy, bloody smell permeated the air. Facing each other from a distance, both searched for ws in each other''s aura. Their bodies seemed to freeze, but their momentum rose wildly, with their essence, energy, and spirit all focused on the de! Sword Art Secret Technique, Gathering Momentum! I underestimated him, he really can... An expert sees the subtleties. Discovering that Ling Bai knew swordsmanship made Chen Zifeng''s mindset slightly explode. The Six-Winged Angel was an extremely versatile soul, but versatility sometimes meansplexity. The Holy Angel Sword was not a weapon soul; it was just a weapon. Ling Bai shouldn''t have learned swordsmanship specifically for it. The change in mindset gradually allowed Ling Bai to overwhelm Chen Zifeng. In a few more minutes, the Holy Angel Sword, enhanced by Gathering Momentum, would be unmatched by the Soul-Chasing Sword! Chen Zifeng made the first move, unwilling to sit and wait for his fate. The Soul-Chasing Sword was bathed in blood-red light, devoid of any soul power, yet it embodied speed and sharpness in a new realm! Ling Bai seemed to have anticipated this, and his feet moved rapidly, his body shifting sideways. The Holy Angel Sword flickered, and several golden sword shadows met the Soul- Chasing Sword. The sound of swords shing echoed continuously. Chen Zifeng''s sword was as fast as a gale, the sword shadows like a storm, exuding a formidable aura. Each sword move had a different speed and strength, aiming for vital points, ruthless and deadly. To his surprise, Ling Bai not only resisted but his Holy Angel Sword''s sword path was even more tragic and fierce! One sword, multiple shadows! Kill! Seeing the golden ''kill'' character, like iron and silver hooks, Chen Zifeng''s eyes nearly bulged out. The Soul-Chasing Sword was a blood-soaked sword, and in terms of killing intent, only one sword in the Douluo Continent surpassed it! Chen Zifeng couldn''t believe it, nor did he want to. How could Ling Bai know that sword technique! Amidst countless cold sword shadows, the two figures rose, fell, charged, and turned, seemingly attacking without defending, each move and technique showing great finesse. The sword moves were no longer limited to swordsmanship; they were a spontaneous disy of a lifetime of learning. Unconsciously, they had exchanged a hundred moves without using soul power, both giving their all. The Holy Angel Sword and the Soul-Chasing Sword shed, their figures crossing in the rain, like two lightning bolts piercing the rain curtain. Water sshed up from the ground, and the shing of swords echoed in the Soul Duel Arena, like a grand symphony. "They two..." "Pretty cool!" Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and others, who had finished their battles, turned their gazes toward them, their mouths forming O shapes. Even the Tuantie Douluo Elder Xuan nodded in approval. This match was not just apetition of swordsmanship but also a feast of beauty! Their sword moves became even more fierce, their long swords slicing through the rain, causing a howling wind. The final move. They thought simultaneously. The sword Chen Zifeng wielded had a faint blood-red figure of a world-shaking demon god behind it, the slender sword shadow merging with the Soul-Chasing Sword, as if the Netherworld had descended upon the world, filled with overwhelming killing intent! Kill! Chen Zifeng was confident this was the most killing-intent-filled sword he had ever wielded. He looked at Ling Bai, hoping to see shock and fear in his eyes. Eye to eye, Chen Zifeng''s body suddenly trembled violently, but he didn''t notice because all his attention was on Ling Bai''s golden eyes, unable to focus on anything else! In those golden eyes, he saw a torn earth, countless fallen bodies, heads rolling, and a river of hot blood. Killing intent and bloodlust burned fiercely in the depths of the golden pupils! Kill! In a split second, both of them condensed and released all their sword skills, and in the same instant, their swords crossed, their figures passing each other! Back to back, Ling Bai''s Holy Angel Sword hummed, a strand of golden hair falling from his forehead. He seemed oblivious, closing his eyes to feel something, immersed in the rhythm, moves, techniques, and form disyed by the two of them, finding it increasingly hard to extricate himself. "ng-" The clear sound of the Soul-Chasing Sword hitting the ground rang out. Chen Zifeng''s tiger mouth split, leaving arge X-shaped mark on his chest, shallowly prating the skin, a beautiful blood flower blooming through his clothes. He looked down and smiled bitterly. "I lost. Thank you, Junior Brother Ling, for showing mercy. But I have onest question for you. Our Chen family''s Soul-Chasing Sword technique is one of the most killing-intent-filled sword techniques in the Douluo Continent. Who did you learn your sword skills from, to be able to suppress the Soul-Chasing Sword in terms of killing intent?" Ling Bai slowly opened his eyes, a brilliant golden light shining from them, and said: "The sword''s might pierces the heavens, the killing intent soars above the clouds. A predecessor from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower ten thousand years ago, Sealed Title: Sword, the Dusty Heart of the Sword Path."

Its back is covered by a ck carapace with decent defensive capabilities, providing some resistance to attacks. As for its innate Soul Skill... Sorry, it doesn''t have one. As a Spirit Beast, the ordinary Thousand-Pound Ant does not awaken any Soul Skills. There''s a perfect phrase to describe the Thousand-Pound Ant: the Blue Silver Grass of the animal kingdom, purely useless. Fortunately, the Thousand-Pound Ant n has a very strong reproductive ability, allowing their presence to be found in various Spirit Beast forests across the Tang Sect Continent. At this moment, the underground assault wasunched by a group of Thousand-Pound Ants. The moment they emerged, they surged toward the four people in a frenzy, despite most of them being only ten-year Spirit Beasts. However, their sheer numbers were overwhelming! Ten thousand Thousand-Pound Ants gathered together like a dark cloud, their momentum no less formidable than an army of thousands! Wu Ming, with her fiery temper, was the first to take action. She unfurled a pair of magnificent golden-red fire wings, soaring into the air. The intense firelight illuminated the distant forest, shielding Ling Bai, Han Ruoru, and the others behind it. Her second yellow Soul Ring shed, and Wu Ming raised her right hand. A cluster of golden- red mes danced in her palm, igniting her second Soul Skill, Golden Crow True me. The intense Golden Crow True me enveloped the endless ck flood of Thousand-Pound Ants. Before it even fully descended, the weaker ten-year and hundred-year Thousand- Pound Ants were already suffering heavy casualties, their bodiespletely incinerated by the Golden Crow True me. The glowing Soul Rings on Wu Ming''s body represented her impressive battle achievements. Sensing the presence of the Golden Crow, the Thousand-Pound Ants suddenly fell into a panic. Bird-type Spirit Beasts are the natural predators of insect-type Spirit Beasts, and the Golden Crow is one of the most powerful among them. Dealing with Thousand-Pound Ants was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. "Screech-" A sharp roar echoed from underground, and the Thousand-Pound Ants immediately calmed down. A dark golden figure emerged from the earth, coldly staring at Wu Ming without any fear. "This Thousand-Pound Ant... it''s so big!" Chu Qingtian gaped in amazement. During every Soul Ring hunt, he had seen many Thousand-Pound Ants. Ordinary ten-year Thousand-Pound Ants are about three inches long, with a pair of saber-like teeth capable of biting through hard objects. Their length doubles when they reach the hundred-year stage, and they approach a foot in length at the thousand- year stage. The dark golden Thousand-Pound Ant, however, was over a meter long, a behemoth among ants. "A mutated Thousand-Pound Ant King," Ling Bai said calmly. "Its cultivation is between twenty thousand and thirty thousand years. The Thousand-Pound Ants can establish themselves in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest underground, thanks to this guy''s strength." "It''s no match for Ming''er." Han Ruoru remained calm. The mutation made the Thousand-Pound Ant King far superior to ordinary Thousand-Pound Ants, but Wu Ming, with her Golden Crow soul, and after more than a decade of training at Shrek Academy, was a top-tier genius. Dealing with a mutated Thousand-Pound Ant King with inferior cultivation was a piece of cake for her. "Boom!" The Thousand-Pound Ant King''s legs struck the ground forcefully, the terrifying impact sending a powerful recoil force through its body. It shot toward Wu Ming in the sky like a cannonball, its front pincers gleaming with a dark golden light, slicing out a massive intersecting light de. The mutation gave the Thousand-Pound Ant King more than just raw strength; it also awakened an earth attribute and the long-desired innate Soul Skill, Earth Ant King sh! Wu Ming smirked in contempt. The Thousand-Pound Ant King seemed unaware of the Inner Academy''s reputation as a live volcano. She sped her hands in front of her, and her fifth Soul Ring shone. A golden-red fire pir instantly erupted from her sped hands, its diameter reaching a meter. It charged straight toward the Earth Ant King sh, choosing to face the Thousand-Pound Ant King head-on! Han Ruoru was right. Wu Ming''s fifth Soul Skill, Golden Crow Fire Pir, only held off the Earth Ant King sh for less than half a second before breaking through and striking the Thousand-Pound Ant King. However, the Thousand-Pound Ant King''s earth attribute had significantly enhanced its defense, and this blow failed to prate its carapace, instead sending it crashing to the ground with a trail of golden-red sparks. Wu Ming was about to smirk when she realized something was off. The Thousand-Pound Ant King hadnded on the tent, and in an instant, mes erupted. The Golden Crow True me quickly engulfed the fabric tent. "My tent!!!" A shrill scream pierced the sky, startling the Thousand-Pound Ant King, who scrambled to its feet and retreated with its minions, no longer daring to challenge the Holy Daughter of the Golden Crow. "Where do you think you''re going!" Wu Ming, in the sky, was not about to let the Thousand-Pound Ant King escape easily. She pped her Golden Crow wings and disappeared from the sight of the three others, ignoring Han Ruoru''s calls. "This Ming''er!" Han Ruoru stomped her foot in frustration. The tent was destroyed, but chasing a Spirit Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest at night would certainly cause amotion, potentially attracting other powerful Spirit Beasts! "We have to follow her!" They were a team, and the three couldn''t abandon Wu Ming. They hurried in the direction she and the Thousand-Pound Ant King had gone. "Heh... heh..." Ling Bai frowned at the continuous pervertedughter beside him. "Qingtian, what are you laughing about?" Chu Qingtian rubbed his hands together, a faint blush on his face. He whispered, "Don''t you think Senior Wu Ming looked absolutely stunning when she pursued the Thousand-Pound Ant King alone?" "What??" Ling Bai was utterly shocked. Stunning? More like stupid! Ling Bai took a deep breath and sighed, "Qingtian, you''re in trouble." "Why?" Because you''re about to fall in love! Fate has its way, and there''s a reason these two will end up together! "Boom-" A high-pitched explosion sounded from ahead, and a wave of fire spread out in all directions, the intense heat causing the surrounding trees to wither rapidly. "It doesn''t seem like it''s just Senior Wu Ming''s Golden Crow True me..." Chu Qingtian regained hisposure and muttered. A figure flew back, crashing into a hundred-year-old tree andnding heavily on the ground. The group recognized it as Wu Ming. At this moment, she looked rather weak, kneeling on one knee and clutching her abdomen. Blood flowed continuously from between her fingers, staining arge portion of her clothes, and blood also spurted from her mouth and nose. "Senior, you''re bleeding," Chu Qingtian said weakly. Wu Ming wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth harshly. "Of course I know! Be on guard, that thing ising. It''s a fire-attribute Spirit Beast with seventy thousand years of cultivation. The Thousand-Pound Ant King''s defense couldn''t withstand its mes for more than a few seconds!" Han Ruoru had entered the Star Dou Great Forest with Wu Ming before and had encountered many ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, but she had never seen Wu Ming this serious. A crimson light shot up into the sky, and a crimson figure brutally burned everything in its path, rushing to the group. Its appearance was abination of various Spirit Beasts: its horns like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a ghost, neck like a snake, belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, ws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and ears like a cow. Thisbination of ordinary elements created a true dominant Spirit Beast: a dragon! A seventy-thousand-year Spirit Beast, the Burning Sun Fire Dragon! "You''re really lucky!" Wu Ming turned to Ling Bai, her tone irritable. The fire attribute and cultivation of this Burning Sun Fire Dragon perfectly matched Ling Bai''s requirements for his fifth Soul Ring, making it a perfect match. She took the beating, but Ling Bai would benefit! Wu Ming spat out another mouthful of blood. The Burning Sun Fire Dragon had been cunning and attacked her by surprise. She had been focused on chasing the Thousand-Pound Ant King and was caught off guard. The massive head of the Burning Sun Fire Dragon opened its enormous mouth, a powerful gust of wind and a deafening roar nearly bursting everyone''s eardrums. "Work with me!" Han Ruoru''s first Soul Ring shed, and the Shimmering Gold Rope, like a living creature, trembled to the left and right, forming two golden halos. One end and one tail wrapped around the Burning Sun Fire Dragon. Despite her injuries, Wu Ming was not about to back down. She and Han Ruoru were the main fighters against the seventy-thousand-year Spirit Beast. With a fierce cry, her purple fourth Soul Ring glowed brightly. A light ball the size of a dragon''s eye, glowing like a ruby, shot into the sky. Initially small, it rapidly expanded, reaching the size of a round table when it was about fifty meters above the ground. It then descended like a falling meteor, heading straight for the Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s head. The Burning Sun Fire Dragon let out a loud dragon roar, its long and slender body turning a translucent crimson, like a piece of high-quality warm jade. The aura it emitted almost doubled instantly, and the scorching dragon mes forced back Chu Qingtian, who had attempted a sneak attack. The dragon''s mouth opened wide, spewing a thick, scorching fire pir that shed with Wu Ming''s fourth Soul Skill, Golden Crow True me Ring. It also withstood several Soul Skills from Han Ruoru and Ling Bai without falling behind, showing its overwhelming power and control. Seeing this, Han Ruoru no longer held back. She raised both arms, her eyes glowing with silver light. The Shimmering Gold Rope wrapped around her body, spinning and dancing. Her seventh Soul Ring lit up, revealing a Soul Skill only a Soul Saint could use: Soul Master True Body! Soul Master True Body revealed the true form of her soul. After releasing the Shimmering Gold True Body, Han Ruoru''s figure disappeared from the battlefield, yet she seemed to be everywhere. Countless golden and silver Shimmering Gold Ropes scattered across the entire battlefield. Golden and silver halos rapidly appeared, lightning-fast toward the Burning Sun Fire Dragon. Sensing the threat from the Shimmering Gold Rope, the Burning Sun Fire Dragon spat out a deep red dragon me. However, the Shimmering Gold Rope seemed to ignore the extreme heat, twisting and entwining around the dragon me, deeply cutting into the Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s flesh. The Burning Sun Fire Dragon roared in anger, its body temperature rising even higher. But the Shimmering Gold Rope had many uses, being both soft and hard, flexible and rigid. It was as resilient as a tendon, and no matter how the Burning Sun Fire Dragon struggled, it couldn''t break free. Its hard side was even more terrifying, nearly indestructible, breaking through the dragon''s tough scales and exposing its flesh, with dragon blood flowing like a stream, forming a pool of steaming blood. Chu Qingtian, who had moved to the side, wouldn''t miss the chance to strike while the iron was hot. He appeared silently behind the Burning Sun Fire Dragon, and the lightning-formed leopard shadow brightened, its ws piercing the exposed flesh. The Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s body flickered with electric light, convulsing like a writhing worm. "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Chu Qingtian quickly retreated, frantically shaking his reddened hands, earning a re from Wu Ming. The dragon mes constantly guarded the Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s flesh, and it was his own fault for getting burned!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Then, in the dark sky, one golden light sword after another rose, forming a cluster of flying swords that looked like a swarm of fireflies. The light illuminated the forest in a brilliant golden hue, leaving elegant semicircr arcs in the night sky. The myriad of light swords descended rapidly, and the closer they got, the more the Burning Sun Fire Dragon felt the terrifying power. At this moment, it truly felt its life was in danger. The scorching red dragon mes burned wildly, and a crimson fire wheel appeared in the middle of the dragon''s body, rapidly spinning and emitting blinding light. The fire wheel detached from its body and expanded, bing a massive wheel over ten meters in diameter. The Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s innate Soul Skill, Burning Sun Wheel! For a moment, the Burning Sun Wheel swept through the sky, like a zing sun, overshadowing the moon''s light in the night! The Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s joy was short-lived as a surge of intense light erupted from Ling Bai''s right arm. A golden light pir, over ten meters wide, pierced the sky, resembling a towering golden pir! The golden pir descended from the sky, and the dragon''s body, scales, ws, and teeth were intricately carved into the pir, forming a golden holy dragon. Sacred Dragon True Form! The Holy Light Dragon dived from the sky, targeting the Burning Sun Fire Dragon, which was desperately struggling to break free from the Shimmering Gold Rope''s control. The Holy Light Dragon, transformed from the Sacred Dragon True Form, collided with the Burning Sun Wheel, and the sky and ground were filled with fierce dragon roars, like two dragons locked in a deadly battle until one perished. Light points and sparks flew in all directions, burning the air red and causing the ground to weep with scorching tears. A majestic bird cry echoed, and the Golden Crow joined the battle of the two dragons, instantly tipping the bnce. The Holy Light Dragon struck the dragon''s head, which was contorted in a grotesque expression, and the light in the Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s eyes slowly faded. A deep, ck Soul Ring floated in the air. The Shimmering Gold Rope withdrew, and Han Ruoru''s figure reappeared. She had been the main contributor to this battle, but the Soul Master True Body did not make her immune to damage. The Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s fierce struggles and dragon mes had invaded her body, causing her intense internal pain. She sat down to dissipate the mes without a word. "I''m going to tend to my injuries. Chu Qingtian, stay here and protect Ruoru and Ling Bai." Wu Ming hurried to a distant thicket, as she needed to apply medicine to her abdominal wound, which was not convenient in front of two men. "Qingtian, it''s up to you." "Sure thing!" Ling Bai used his soul power to draw the ck Soul Ring of the Burning Sun Fire Dragon. The intense mes had almost turned the night into dawn, and they needed to absorb the Soul Ring and leave quickly. If they attracted other powerful Spirit Beasts, they would be in serious trouble. "Hehe... roast meat today..." With a sinisterugh, the Burning Sun Fire Dragon had no chance of turning the tide. Half an hourter, Ling Bai sessfully absorbed the Soul Ring, and the five Soul Rings-yellow, purple, ck, and ck-made Chu Qingtian''s mouth water. Staring at the corpse of the Burning Sun Fire Dragon, Ling Bai knew it was time to open the Spirit Beast blind box. Han Ruoru and Wu Ming were still tending to their wounds, and Chu Qingtian''s luck with the ck assessment task was probably not great. Ling Bai raised his hands, staring intently at the patterns on them. Can I trust you this time! Please, bless Ling Bai again! After a busy day, the diligent Ling Bai finally... Extracted a soul bone resembling a human spine, a crimson-red Soul Bone from the trunk of the seventy-thousand-year Burning Sun Fire Dragon!

In the sky, a beam of golden light shed like a meteor, followed by a golden-red figure. "Stop! Ling Bai, you stop right there!" Wu Ming, gathering her Soul Power, shouted loudly as she chased after Ling Bai, who was as cunning as a fox, evading and attacking intermittently. The Golden Crow True me outlined a pair of magnificent wings, leaving a trail of distorted water-like ripples in the air. Ling Bai spread his Angel Wings and maintained a gliding posture, his body enveloped in a Five-Colored Halo (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue). He turned his head and teased, "Senior Wu, didn''t you just break through to the seventy-level Soul Power the day before yesterday? Howe your speed hasn''t improved?" As he spoke, Ling Bai swung the Holy Angel Sword and unleashed two Evil-Banishing shes. Wu Ming dodged the attacks by sidestepping, and the forced reduction in speed made the distance between them grow wider, almost making her grind her teeth in frustration.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Ling Bai was too fast. The Six-Winged Angel, the top soul beast of the sky, was not just a boast. With the full support of Gongyang Mo''s Rainbow Dragon, even with a twenty-level Soul Power gap, Wu Ming couldn''t touch a single hair on Ling Bai. "Sister Ruo, help me tie him down!" Unable to take down Ling Bai one-on-one, Wu Ming, embarrassed and angry, sought reinforcement. "Sure." Han Ruoru nodded, a smile flickering in her eyes. Seven soul rings (Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, ck, ck, ck) rose, and a golden light shot from her fingertips, extending infinitely like a golden thread, resembling a golden spirit snake advancing through the sky, brushing past Wu Ming''s body and pursuing Ling Bai. The Shimmering Gold Rope, a top-tier Control-Type Weapon Spirit, made Han Ruoru the first control-type soul master in the Inner Academy. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Ling Bai alone held off the near Soul Saint Wu Ming and the Soul Saint Han Ruoru. Below, the battle was equally intense, withrge pink lotus flowers blooming, their beauty overwhelming. However, these beautiful lotus flowers suppressed the ice element, lightning leopard, and earth-shaking ape, causing them to retreat step by step. At the center of the lotus flowers stood a delicate woman, her six soul rings (Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, ck, ck) flickering in session. The lotus flowers sprouted, grew, and formed a sea of pink, their fragrance permeating the air, refreshing and invigorating. Lotus Fairy Hua Yao, with Soul Power at the sixty-ninth level, ranked fourth among the Inner Academy students, with the top three being Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoru, and Wu Ming. With her strength, she could easily handle the three Soul King-level Shrek Seven Monsters: Ling Luochen, Xi Xi, and Yao Haoxuan. Not far away, the Blue Sky Sparrow, single-handedly fought against Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, two Spirit Emperors. Although he was somewhat at a disadvantage, the sixty- eighth-level Inner Academy''s top speed-type soul master could clearly hold out for a while longer. Suddenly, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng exchanged a nce. Ma Xiaotao''s phoenix wings pped forcefully, and he withdrew from the battle, charging straight towards Hua Yao, leaving Dai Yueheng to tangle with the Blue Sky Sparrow. "Oh no!" The Blue Sky Sparrow''s pupils contracted sharply. Ma Xiaotao''s Soul Power had reached the sixty-seventh level, not much weaker than Hua Yao. If she joined forces with Ling Luochen and the others, Hua Yao would undoubtedly be defeated! Due to his deep-seated feelings for Hua Yao, the Blue Sky Sparrow became extremely anxious. His ck fifth soul ring glowed brightly, and the Blue Sky Sparrow retracted his wings, transforming into a sharp blue light that pierced through the White Tiger Brilliant Light Wave. He chose to urgently return to aid Hua Yao. Dai Yueheng did not block him, instead looking up at the three beams of light (two golden and one red) in the sky, where Ling Bai was leading Wu Ming and the Shimmering Gold Rope towards Hua Yao''s position! "Attack!" Ling Bai''s clear voice echoed in everyone''s ears. "Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, the five colors shine together!" Gongyang Mo, the support-type soul master, was the first to release his soul skills, injecting five differently colored halos into the bodies of the other six. The Rainbow Dragon was the continent''s top support-type beast soul, ranking alongside the Seven Treasures Pagoda in the realm of weapon souls. Gongyang Mo''s five soul skills enhanced strength, recovery, speed, Soul Power, and attributes by sixty percent each. As the five halos entered their bodies, the six people''s auras instantly surged! "Huh?" Hua Yao, who had been rxed and cheerful, suddenly found everyone charging at her and was momentarily stunned. It wasn''t until Ling Luochen, Xi Xi, and Yao Haoxuan tore through several lotus flowers that she realized this was a carefully nned ambush, exploiting Wu Ming''s impulsiveness and the Blue Sky Sparrow''s hidden affection! She wanted to warn the two that they had fallen into a trap, but it was toote! "Ten Thousand des Radiance!" "White Tiger Meteor Shower!" "Phoenix Meteor Shower!" "Fury of Ice Heaven!" "Lightning Cage!" "Earth-Shaking Roar!" Swords of light, meteors, mes, hail, lightning, and sound waves-six powerful soul masters simultaneously unleashed their strongest group attack soul skills, filling the sky with brilliant soul skill light. Wu Ming and her twopanions had almost no effective resistance and were rescued from the battlefield by Senior Xuan at thest moment. "Hahaha! Five Moons, five whole Moons! We finally got our revenge!" The seven people rejoiced, hugging and crying with joy, as if they had finally seen rain after a long drought. Gongyang Mo wiped away his tears, a man''s tears do not fall lightly, only when the heart is truly hurt! Do you know how the Shrek Seven Monsters got through these five Moons? Beaten every day, shouting to the sky that they were pigs, enduring physical and mental torment! Despite Zhang Lexuan not participating and Han Ruoru''s suspected leniency, the seven people had only managed to handle Wu Ming, Hua Yao, and the Blue Sky Sparrow, but it was still a historic breakthrough! "Damn, who came up with such an inhumane trap?" The Blue Sky Sparrow covered his face, ashamed to look at Hua Yao. He had always thought his feelings were well-hidden, but it turned out everyone knew! "Who do you think?" Wu Ming gave him a sidelong nce and sneered, "Ma Xiaotao, with her big chest and no brains, Dai Yueheng, straightforward and blunt, Ling Luochen, aloof and cold, Xi Xi, simple- minded, Gongyang Mo, detached from the world, and Yao Haoxuan, purely a fool. That leaves the guy with a thousand eyes all over his body!" Ling Bai felt a sudden chill, as if someone was cursing him. Wu Ming and the others were defeated, and Zhang Lexuan, with a light step, walked forward, pping to encourage the Shrek Seven Monsters. She said, "After five Moons of training, you finally have some teamwork, but you are too young. Let me give you a lesson, little ones." Her tone was calm like a deep pool, but her words were extremely arrogant, challenging the current Shrek Seven Monsters with her own strength! Everyone felt no anger, but their nerves instantly tightened. The reason was simple: she was the Inner Academy''s Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan! "Silver Moon Overhead!" Zhang Lexuan''s soul beast was the Moon. Her skin, illuminated by the Moonlight, became crystal white and smooth. Two yellow, two purple, three ck, and one red soul rings floated behind her. When the blood-red soul ring appeared, the overwhelming pressure from the ten-thousand-year soul beast made the Shrek Seven Monsters'' movements slow down. Zhang Lexuan clearly did not want to hold back. Her seventh soul ring, as ck as ink, ignited, transforming the silver Moon into a full golden Moon, recing the sun''s scorching light! Seventh soul skill, Soul Master True Body! "Senior Sister, spare us!" "Please, don''t hit our faces!" "Wait, who touched my butt!" The cries of despair echoed one after another. The seventy-level Soul Power was a recognized dividing line in the soul master world. A seven-ringed Soul Saint releasing the Soul Master True Body usually crushed arge number of Soul Kings and Spirit Emperors, as the Soul Master True Body represented a different soul master realm, touching the essence of the soul beast. Fifteen minutester, the Shrek Seven Monsters werepletely defeated and received another lecture from Senior Sister. After the battle, Senior Xuan took a bite of his chicken leg and said leisurely, "You did well. At least you have some teamwork now, unlike the scattered group you were five Moons ago. Next week is the Shrek Academy''s holiday. I won''t arrange any more training for the remaining days. Prepare to go home if you n to, or take a break if you need one. As for the first-time inspection mission, you decide for yourself." "Yay, holiday!" Gongyang Mo raised his fists, his face beaming with joy, as if celebrating a happy New Year. The Inner Academy students were actually more tired than the Outer Academy students, with soul battles, inspection missions, and daily courses. The holiday was a chance for their bodies and minds to rest. "Of course, if anyone forgets the tactics during the holiday, I guarantee they will have a terrible time when they return." After the warning, Senior Xuan took a big gulp of wine, swaying drunkenly as he left the soul battle arena. The Shrek Seven Monsters said goodbye to the five senior students, thanking them for their hard work during the five Moons of training. Ling Bai lightly pped his Angel Wings andnded beside Han Ruoru, asking softly, "Senior Sister, are you okay?" At the moment the six group attack soul skills descended, he clearly saw Han Ruoru''s seventh soul ring glow, but for some reason, she did not use the Shimmering Gold True Body. "I''m fine, just a bit of Soul Power fluctuation." Han Ruoru smiled, "I, I broke through to the eightieth level!" "Eightieth level!" Wu Ming''s eyes lit up as she hugged Han Ruoru''s arm, saying, "Sister Ruo, you''re about to be the second Soul Douluo in the academy after Senior Sister. We must have a celebratory dinner tonight!" "Sure, sure, I''ll treat you!" Han Ruoru, both helpless and affectionate, poked Wu Ming''s head, then turned to Ling Bai and said, "Ming, in the morning, Chu Qingtian told me he sessfully broke through to the fiftieth levelst night. Little Junior, you were already at the fiftieth level a Moon ago. How about we form a hunting team and enter the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings tomorrow?" "Sure." The first inspection mission for the new students would be rxed, allowingpletion during the holiday. Ling Bai originally nned to return to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower to find some experts to apany him in hunting soul beasts before executing the mission. Now, with Han Ruoru''s support, he had no reason to refuse. "From a Soul Master to a Soul King in a year. How about it, are you bing a god?" Wu Ming red at Ling Bai, vividly demonstrating how jealousy can make one''s moral standards plummet! Han Ruoru smiled, "Ming, don''t be so modest. Little Junior, bing a Soul King at twelve, far surpassing the seven Shrek ancestors of the same age, has a very good chance of bing a new god. When that happens, Shrek Square will probably have a new statue." Ling Bai fell into deep thought. A Six-Winged Angel statue at Shrek Academy, huh... Bro, don''t be ridiculous! ... The next morning, Ling Bai, Han Ruoru, Wu Ming, and Chu Qingtian changed into their battle gear and flew over the Sea God Lake, leaving Shrek Academy and heading straight for the Star Dou Great Forest. As they passed through the Outer Academy, several Outer Academy girls saw Ling Bai and blushed, their heads almost buried in their chests. "Little Junior, you''re so charming~" Han Ruoru deliberately elongated her voice, teasing. Wu Ming snorted, "The Outer Academy girls are young and easily shy. Sister Ruo, you don''t know how open those women are in private." She put on a lovesick face and spoke in a high-pitched voice, "I can''t even imagine~ If I could lie in bed with Ling Bai every day, I would be such a happy girl! I would hug him every night, touch his abs, count his eyshes, nt strawberries on his corbone, and kiss his lips until they''re swollen... Yue!!! Those women in their twenties and thirties are shameless!" Alright, alright, you''re ying the pervert with me! Ling Bai''s brain felt like it was shrinking. Wu Ming''s revtion was indeed a bit over the top, and he hadn''t noticed such lewd behavior among the Inner Academy seniors before! Thinking about it now, he remembered a few seniors who often looked at him with a mysterious smile. "Hahaha!" Han Ruoruughed so hard she couldn''t stand straight. Chu Qingtian winked at Ling Bai and patted his shoulder, earnestly advising him to give in to the seniors. "By the way, Ming, there are many talented and handsome boys in the Inner Academy, yet you''ve been single for so long. What kind of person do you like?" Han Ruoru asked curiously. "Me?" Wu Ming raised her chin proudly, "Sister Ruo, I am the Inner Academy''s live volcano. The man who conquers me in the future must be either smarter or stronger than me. There''s no one like that in the Inner Academy now!" Wu Ming was extremelypetitive and had the typical soul master''s criteria for choosing a partner. Appearance was just a bonus; the most important thing was strength. However, the Inner Academy was dominated by women, and Wu Ming''s fiery temper made male students generally avoid her. "Qingtian, why are your ears up?" Ling Bai suddenly noticed something. "What? I... I didn''t, Brother Ling, don''t say that!" Chu Qingtian fumbled. I don''t believe you for a second! The four people''s speed was very fast, and they reached the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest''s outer region in half a day, seeing the blood-red warning sign, "Danger: Star Dou, Soul Beasts Ahead." As the team leader, Han Ruorumanded, "Everyone, rest and eat something here. Adjust to your best state, and in half an hour, we''ll enter Star Dou." She assigned tasks simply. Wu Ming volunteered to start a fire and cook, iming that every fire-type soul master was a natural chef. Chu Qingtian cut wood and made a pot, while Ling Bai and Han Ruoru were responsible for hunting. Soon, Ling Bai and Han Ruoru returned from hunting, carrying five or six chickens and a strong, healthy ck bull, and skewering several fish on sticks. Chu Qingtian also returned with firewood, identally finding a type of red fruit while cutting trees. He shared the fruit with Ling Bai and Han Ruoru, and when they walked away, he quietly approached Wu Ming, who was cooking, and pulled out the most lustrous fruit from his pocket, offering it to her like a treasure. "Senior, I saved this fruit for you!" "Sure, put it here." Wu Ming, the steel-straight girl, ignored it and focused on controlling the me. Chu Qingtian, feeling defeated, hid under a tree and drew circles. After a long wait, Wu Ming finished cooking the beef, taking chicken wings and storing them in the soul storage device, and cooked arge pot of rice with the Extreme North Moonlight Rice. Wu Ming gave her dish a catchy name. "Fragrant Wing Rice!" Neither high praise nor low criticism was appropriate, so Ling Bai gave it a moderate score!

You can also join the Geriatric Trantions Community on Discord to connect with other readers: https://discord.gg/NSWvfN7vua Although the name is quite absurd, as Wu Ming said, a Fire Attribute Soul Master is a natural culinary master. Wu Ming''s precise control over Fire is second only to Fiery Evil Phoenix Ma Xiaotao in the entire Inner Academy. The four of them gathered around the wooden pot, eating heartily. Han Ruoru spoke up, "Everyone, please state what kind of Soul Ring you need. This will help us choose and hunt the right soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forestter." "Sure." ¡Á3 Han Ruoru volunteered, "I''ll go first. My Shimmering Gold Rope focuses on flexibility and strong control. It can amodate most attributes. We need a soul beast with both of these characteristics, preferably with a cultivation level between eighty thousand and a hundred thousand years." Upon hearing this, Ling Bai nodded slightly. The Shimmering Gold Rope is different from most top-tier soul powers, as it has no fixed cultivation direction. It can choose from strong attack, control, or support. Clearly, Han Ruoru had chosen the path most suitable for herself. Wu Ming chimed in, "My needs are simpler than Sister Ruo. I need a Fire soul beast, the stronger the better, with a cultivation level between fifty thousand and sixty thousand years." "The senior sisters need such high-level Soul Rings..." Chu Qingtian was drenched in sweat. A thirty-thousand-year-old soul beast is enough to serve as the seventh Soul Ring for an ordinary Soul Saint, and some Soul Douluo would be thrilled to absorb a fifty-thousand-year-old eighth Soul Ring. The talent of Han Ruoru and Wu Ming made him feel ashamed. If nothing went wrong, they would both be able to withstand a hundred-thousand-year-old ninth Soul Ring in the future. "A fifteen-thousand-year-old Soul Ring, with lightning attributes, and a focus on speed." Chu Qingtian sinctly stated his requirements, feeling a bit embarrassedpared to the two girls. "My fifth Soul Ring..." Ling Bai had been considering this for a month and calmly said, "A Soul Ring with a cultivation level between sixty thousand and eighty thousand years..." Wu Ming''s eyebrows arched. Alright, alright, my seventh Soul Ring is capped at sixty thousand years, and you''re starting your fifth Soul Ring at sixty thousand years. Are you subtly mocking me? Little did she know that Ling Bai''s next words would make her explode on the spot. "A Fire soul beast, the stronger the better." "You''re using all my lines!!!" Wu Ming''s voice was filled with sorrow and anger. She had misunderstood it as subtle mockery, but it was clearly a direct and intense taunt! "Junior brother, are you sure?" Han Ruoru gazed into Ling Bai''s eyes, her tone serious. Soul Masters have limits when absorbing Soul Rings. Exceeding these limits can lead to death. She knew Ling Bai was smart and would understand the principle of moderation, not taking unnecessary risks by absorbing a fifth Soul Ring beyond his limits. "Senior sister, the Six-Winged Angel is the embodiment of Holiness, Light, and Fire, naturally resistant to Fire. Moreover, the divine soul power grants me mental strength far exceeding that of soul masters at the same level, making it easy to withstand the soul shock." Ling Bai''s expression was calm and sincere, and Han Ruoru''s worries eased as she quietly resumed eating. Actually, Ling Bai only mentioned part of the reason. The dual divine soul powers and his immortal body were the ultimate answers to absorbing Soul Rings beyond his limits. As for the soul shock... Death Prison Spider Emperor, time for dinner! Looking into the distant, dark Star Dou Great Forest, a slight smile curved Ling Bai''s lips. Among the three attributes of the Six-Winged Angel, Holiness, as the angelic essence, is naturally the strongest. However, soul beasts with Holiness attributes are extremely rare on the Douluo Continent. Forced to settle for the next best option, he aimed to add a Light Soul Ring. He couldn''t help but look forward to his first Fire soul skill. After a hearty meal, the group returned to peak condition and decided to officially enter the Star Dou Great Forest. Han Ruoru began assigning tasks: "We don''t have a spirit attribute soul master skilled in exploration, so I''ll take the lead. The left and right nks will be handled by Junior Brother Ling and Junior Brother Chu. Ming, you''ll take the rear." "Don''t worry, Sister Ruo!" Wu Ming thumped her chest loudly, determined toplete the task. However, Ling Bai and Chu Qingtian''s expressions were a bit strange. It was well known that the most dangerous tasks in a team were leading the way and guarding the rear. By protecting the nks, the two juniors were actually being protected in the center, giving them a strong sense of security from their domineering seniors! Ling Bai felt a bit awkward, while Chu Qingtian seemed to enjoy it! "The Star Dou Great Forest is extremely dangerous. Everyone, be extremely cautious. I don''t want what happened to Yue Xuan and the others to be repeated on us!" Given their close rtionship, Han Ruoru couldn''t help but remind them again. Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately put aside any inappropriate emotions. Shrek Academy emphasizes a wolf-like education. Unless you are a direct descendant of Shrek, the academy won''t send teachers to protect students while they obtain Soul Rings. However, during Senior Sister Zhang Yue Xuan''s time, due to the negligence of an elder from the Sea God Pavilion, Inner Academy students encountered rare and tragic ident while hunting Soul Rings. If even the elders could make such mistakes, the students must be even more cautious and always remain vignt. Chu Qingtian, who needed the lowest level Soul Ring, still required a fifteen-thousand-year- old soul beast. The outer regions of the Star Dou Great Forest couldn''t meet their needs. Han Ruoru took the lead, her Shimmering Gold Rope glowing with a faint golden light. With a sh of golden light, the chaotic shrubs on the ground were cleared, creating a path. Her quasi-Soul Douluo aura kept low-level soul beasts at bay. Without the need to waste time and energy dealing with suicidal soul beasts, the group moved at an incredible speed, like a sharp diamond de piercing through the mixed zone. As the sky grew darker, judging by the strength of the surrounding soul beasts, the group had passed the outer region and entered the mixed zone. "Now we''re entering the mixed zone. Everyone, stay alert." Han Ruoru slowed down. In the mixed zone, the main force of soul beasts would be thousand-year and ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, some of which could pose a significant threat. Ling Bai had already activated his Spider King Sense, weaving an invisible mental that extended in all directions, detecting any soul beasts that might attack them. "Senior sisters, a soul beast is approaching from the right nk." Ling Bai''s eyes narrowed, and he quietly alerted the group. They tightened their formation, their Soul Rings rising, ready for defense. At the same time, a ripple appeared in Han Ruoru''s calm ck eyes. Wu Ming was always a bit scatterbrained, and Chu Qingtian considered himself far less powerful than Ling Bai, so they didn''t notice Ling Bai''s extraordinary perception. Han Ruoru, however, was both meticulous and powerful, and her extensive reading made her aware that the Six-Winged Angel''s perception could not possibly surpass her by thirty soul power levels. This was a talent that only a spirit attribute soul master could possess. The truth was clear... My junior brother is incredibly talented! A sh of light appeared nearby, and a ck figure silently appeared on a tree branch about fifty meters away. It was a leopard nearly two meters long, covered in silver-gray fur. The dim sunlight distorted around its body, and its eyes were a deep, menacing ck. "A thirty-thousand-year-old Clear Demon Leopard!" Chu Qingtian eximed. The Clear Demon Leopard, a rare space attribute soul beast, was one of many soul beasts they had encountered. However, most soul beasts kept their distance, and those with hostility dared not approach due to Han Ruoru''s quasi-Soul Douluo aura, often just intimidating them. This Clear Demon Leopard, however, not only didn''t retreat upon discovering a group of powerful soul masters but also quickly pursued them, filled with intense killing intent. "This soul beast has tasted the vor of soul masters before," Ling Bai said firmly. Soul masters hunt soul beasts to break through their cultivation barriers, while soul beasts devour the soul power-rich bodies of soul masters to enhance their cultivation and bloodline. The roles of prey and hunter can reverse at any time, depending on their respective strengths. As Ling Bai spoke, the space behind him suddenly distorted, and a silver-gray light seemed to tear a crack in the void. The Clear Demon Leopard emerged from the crack, its sharp ws glowing with silver-gray light, aiming directly at Ling Bai''s head. The Clear Demon Leopard''s innate soul skill, Spatial Leap! The beast''s eyes showed a human-like bloodlust and excitement. Space attributes are known for their unpredictability. With Spatial Leap, the Clear Demon Leopard had ambushed countless soul masters and soul beasts. It seemed to already see the human head exploding like a watermelon! "Ding-" The expected scene of blood and flesh flying did not ur. A golden longsword steadily blocked the Clear Demon Leopard''s ws. "Roar?" The Clear Demon Leopard was stunned, with question marks appearing above its head. It had chosen to attack one of the male soul masters, who seemed weaker, but its proud Spatial Leap and sneak attackbo had no effect at all! Run! Failing tond a hit, the Clear Demon Leopard immediately nned to flee. Apart from its innate soul skill, Spatial Leap, its attack and defense were far from those of true top-tier soul beasts. Another silver-gray crack appeared in the void, and the Clear Demon Leopard was about to retreat into space. In an instant, a faint golden halo enveloped a hundred-meter radius, and the Clear Demon Leopard''s body froze in mid-air. The Shimmering Gold Rope''s third soul skill, Locking Ring! Effect: Strong control! Han Ruoru''s control was perfect. The next second, Golden Crow True me and the Electric Mad Leopard''s lightning descended, instantly reducing the Clear Demon Leopard to a pile of ashes, leaving behind a ck ten-thousand-year-old Soul Ring. "The Soul Ring is too high in level..." Chu Qingtian sighed in regret at the ck Soul Ring that caused a slight tremor in the space. The Clear Demon Leopard''s Spatial Leap was undoubtedly a godly skill for agile attack soul masters. If his fifth Soul Ring could absorb the Clear Demon Leopard, he would willingly give up enhancing the Electric Mad Leopard''s lightning attribute. After dealing with the Clear Demon Leopard, the group continued deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest. The Star Dou Great Forest is divided into five regions: the safe zone, the outer zone, the mixed zone, the Core Area, and the central zone. Their goal was the Core Area, where ten-thousand- year-old soul beasts roam. It was now night, and the sky waspletely dark. The mournful roars and angry howls of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts echoed, along with the asional chirping of insects and birds. The journey had been rtively smooth so far. Any soul beasts that dared to attack them were incinerated by Wu Ming, the Inner Academy''s living volcano. Her violent methods made Chu Qingtian''s pupils constrict, his heart fluctuating between giving up and pursuing. Han Ruoru nced at the sky through the gaps in the treetops and said, "We''re about to enter the outer part of the Core Area. It''s not suitable for soul masters to travel at night. We''ll rest here tonight and meditate to recover our soul power. Ming, you clean up this area." This was a rtively high ground, surrounded by shrubs. Hunting Soul Rings in the Star Dou Great Forest often meant roughing it, and the four experienced soul masters naturally had no objections. Soul beasts are not wild beasts; some enjoy fire. Therefore, no fires were allowed in the Star Dou Great Forest. Wu Ming didn''t use the Golden Crow True me from her soul power but simply used the intense heat of the Golden Crow soul power to quickly wither a dense patch of shrubs. Ling Bai and Chu Qingtian set up a tent, and after Han Ruoru inspected the area, she returned and said, "The ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the Core Area have fixed territories. This area should be unimed. "Tonight, we''ll take turns keeping watch. Those resting will meditate in the tent. I''ll take the first half of the night with Junior Brother Ling, and Ming and Junior Brother Chu will take the second half." Actually, their soul powers were not suitable for keeping watch. The Electric Mad Leopard, Golden Crow, Shimmering Gold Rope, and Six-Winged Angel were all dazzling when in action. With limited manpower, each had to take on their own responsibilities. The Star Dou Great Forest was unusually quiet at night. Through the towering trees that blocked the sky, the starlight could be seen trickling down. The forest was not pitch ck. Moonlight filtered through the swaying tree shadows, and the presence of some glowing insects made the visibility quite high. The two of them stood guard in front of the tent. Ling Bai turned his head to see a strand of starlight fall on the delicate face, her ck hair cascading like a waterfall down her waist, the woman looking serene and graceful. Han Ruoru happened to turn her head, meeting Ling Bai''s gaze. She smiled, "Junior brother, we haven''t encountered a suitable soul beast all day. Are you getting anxious?" Ling Bai shook his head with a smile, "Hunting soul beasts is a matter of luck. Don''tugh at me, but my luck doesn''t seem to be very good." Before he finished speaking, his Spider King Sense suddenly transmitted a sense of extreme danger. "Soul beast attack!" "Where? Where?" Wu Ming instantly woke up, rushing out of the tent to stand beside Ling Bai, her palms glowing with golden-red soul power, emitting waves of heat. Chu Qingtian followed closely behind, his body tensed. "Ten... Hundred... Thousand... Ten Thousand!" The targets detected by the Spider King Sense gradually became clear, and Ling Bai''s face showed surprise, "The number of soul beasts is practically endless!" "Endless?" Han Ruoru''s eyebrows furrowed. This was not good news. "Are you kidding me?" Wu Ming was shocked, "The Core Area is much smaller than the outer and mixed zones. Where could there be enough space for a ten-thousand-strong soul beast n?" "Senior sister, your statement isn''t precise. The surface area might not be enough, but there''s still underground!" The ground rumbled, and a huge pit suddenly appeared. A ck flood surged out of the ground, revealing their true form! "This is... the Thousand-Pound Ant Swarm!"

You can also join the Geriatric Trantions Community on Discord to connect with other readers: https://discord.gg/NSWvfN7vua The Thousand-Pound Ant is a Spirit Beast with an exceptionally strong vitality, immense strength, and the ability to lift objects over five hundred times its own weight. Its back is covered by a ck carapace with decent defensive capabilities, providing some resistance to attacks. As for its innate Soul Skill... Sorry, it doesn''t have one. As a Spirit Beast, the ordinary Thousand-Pound Ant does not awaken any Soul Skills. There''s a perfect phrase to describe the Thousand-Pound Ant: the Blue Silver Grass of the animal kingdom, purely useless. Fortunately, the Thousand-Pound Ant n has a very strong reproductive ability, allowing their presence to be found in various Spirit Beast forests across the Tang Sect Continent. At this moment, the underground assault wasunched by a group of Thousand-Pound Ants. The moment they emerged, they surged toward the four people in a frenzy, despite most of them being only ten-year Spirit Beasts. However, their sheer numbers were overwhelming! Ten thousand Thousand-Pound Ants gathered together like a dark cloud, their momentum no less formidable than an army of thousands! Wu Ming, with her fiery temper, was the first to take action. She unfurled a pair of magnificent golden-red fire wings, soaring into the air. The intense firelight illuminated the distant forest, shielding Ling Bai, Han Ruoru, and the others behind it. Her second yellow Soul Ring shed, and Wu Ming raised her right hand. A cluster of golden- red mes danced in her palm, igniting her second Soul Skill, Golden Crow True me. The intense Golden Crow True me enveloped the endless ck flood of Thousand-Pound Ants. Before it even fully descended, the weaker ten-year and hundred-year Thousand- Pound Ants were already suffering heavy casualties, their bodiespletely incinerated by the Golden Crow True me. The glowing Soul Rings on Wu Ming''s body represented her impressive battle achievements. Sensing the presence of the Golden Crow, the Thousand-Pound Ants suddenly fell into a panic. Bird-type Spirit Beasts are the natural predators of insect-type Spirit Beasts, and the Golden Crow is one of the most powerful among them. Dealing with Thousand-Pound Ants was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. "Screech-" A sharp roar echoed from underground, and the Thousand-Pound Ants immediately calmed down. A dark golden figure emerged from the earth, coldly staring at Wu Ming without any fear. "This Thousand-Pound Ant... it''s so big!" Chu Qingtian gaped in amazement. During every Soul Ring hunt, he had seen many Thousand-Pound Ants. Ordinary ten-year Thousand-Pound Ants are about three inches long, with a pair of saber-like teeth capable of biting through hard objects. Their length doubles when they reach the hundred-year stage, and they approach a foot in length at the thousand- year stage. The dark golden Thousand-Pound Ant, however, was over a meter long, a behemoth among ants. "A mutated Thousand-Pound Ant King," Ling Bai said calmly. "Its cultivation is between twenty thousand and thirty thousand years. The Thousand-Pound Ants can establish themselves in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest underground, thanks to this guy''s strength." "It''s no match for Ming''er." Han Ruoru remained calm. The mutation made the Thousand-Pound Ant King far superior to ordinary Thousand-Pound Ants, but Wu Ming, with her Golden Crow soul, and after more than a decade of training at Shrek Academy, was a top-tier genius. Dealing with a mutated Thousand-Pound Ant King with inferior cultivation was a piece of cake for her. "Boom!" The Thousand-Pound Ant King''s legs struck the ground forcefully, the terrifying impact sending a powerful recoil force through its body. It shot toward Wu Ming in the sky like a cannonball, its front pincers gleaming with a dark golden light, slicing out a massive intersecting light de. The mutation gave the Thousand-Pound Ant King more than just raw strength; it also awakened an earth attribute and the long-desired innate Soul Skill, Earth Ant King sh! Wu Ming smirked in contempt. The Thousand-Pound Ant King seemed unaware of the Inner Academy''s reputation as a live volcano. She sped her hands in front of her, and her fifth Soul Ring shone. A golden-red fire pir instantly erupted from her sped hands, its diameter reaching a meter. It charged straight toward the Earth Ant King sh, choosing to face the Thousand-Pound Ant King head-on! Han Ruoru was right. Wu Ming''s fifth Soul Skill, Golden Crow Fire Pir, only held off the Earth Ant King sh for less than half a second before breaking through and striking the Thousand-Pound Ant King. However, the Thousand-Pound Ant King''s earth attribute had significantly enhanced its defense, and this blow failed to prate its carapace, instead sending it crashing to the ground with a trail of golden-red sparks. Wu Ming was about to smirk when she realized something was off. The Thousand-Pound Ant King hadnded on the tent, and in an instant, mes erupted. The Golden Crow True me quickly engulfed the fabric tent. "My tent!!!" A shrill scream pierced the sky, startling the Thousand-Pound Ant King, who scrambled to its feet and retreated with its minions, no longer daring to challenge the Holy Daughter of the Golden Crow. "Where do you think you''re going!" Wu Ming, in the sky, was not about to let the Thousand-Pound Ant King escape easily. She pped her Golden Crow wings and disappeared from the sight of the three others, ignoring Han Ruoru''s calls. "This Ming''er!" Han Ruoru stomped her foot in frustration. The tent was destroyed, but chasing a Spirit Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest at night would certainly cause amotion, potentially attracting other powerful Spirit Beasts! "We have to follow her!" They were a team, and the three couldn''t abandon Wu Ming. They hurried in the direction she and the Thousand-Pound Ant King had gone. "Heh... heh..." Ling Bai frowned at the continuous pervertedughter beside him. "Qingtian, what are you laughing about?" Chu Qingtian rubbed his hands together, a faint blush on his face. He whispered, "Don''t you think Senior Wu Ming looked absolutely stunning when she pursued the Thousand-Pound Ant King alone?" "What??" Ling Bai was utterly shocked. Stunning? More like stupid! Ling Bai took a deep breath and sighed, "Qingtian, you''re in trouble." "Why?" Because you''re about to fall in love! Fate has its way, and there''s a reason these two will end up together! "Boom-" A high-pitched explosion sounded from ahead, and a wave of fire spread out in all directions, the intense heat causing the surrounding trees to wither rapidly. "It doesn''t seem like it''s just Senior Wu Ming''s Golden Crow True me..." Chu Qingtian regained hisposure and muttered. A figure flew back, crashing into a hundred-year-old tree andnding heavily on the ground. The group recognized it as Wu Ming. At this moment, she looked rather weak, kneeling on one knee and clutching her abdomen. Blood flowed continuously from between her fingers, staining arge portion of her clothes, and blood also spurted from her mouth and nose. "Senior, you''re bleeding," Chu Qingtian said weakly. Wu Ming wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth harshly. "Of course I know! Be on guard, that thing ising. It''s a fire-attribute Spirit Beast with seventy thousand years of cultivation. The Thousand-Pound Ant King''s defense couldn''t withstand its mes for more than a few seconds!" Han Ruoru had entered the Star Dou Great Forest with Wu Ming before and had encountered many ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, but she had never seen Wu Ming this serious. A crimson light shot up into the sky, and a crimson figure brutally burned everything in its path, rushing to the group. Its appearance was abination of various Spirit Beasts: its horns like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a ghost, neck like a snake, belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, ws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and ears like a cow. Thisbination of ordinary elements created a true dominant Spirit Beast: a dragon! A seventy-thousand-year Spirit Beast, the Burning Sun Fire Dragon! "You''re really lucky!" Wu Ming turned to Ling Bai, her tone irritable. The fire attribute and cultivation of this Burning Sun Fire Dragon perfectly matched Ling Bai''s requirements for his fifth Soul Ring, making it a perfect match. She took the beating, but Ling Bai would benefit! Wu Ming spat out another mouthful of blood. The Burning Sun Fire Dragon had been cunning and attacked her by surprise. She had been focused on chasing the Thousand-Pound Ant King and was caught off guard. The massive head of the Burning Sun Fire Dragon opened its enormous mouth, a powerful gust of wind and a deafening roar nearly bursting everyone''s eardrums. "Work with me!" Han Ruoru''s first Soul Ring shed, and the Shimmering Gold Rope, like a living creature, trembled to the left and right, forming two golden halos. One end and one tail wrapped around the Burning Sun Fire Dragon. Despite her injuries, Wu Ming was not about to back down. She and Han Ruoru were the main fighters against the seventy-thousand-year Spirit Beast. With a fierce cry, her purple fourth Soul Ring glowed brightly. A light ball the size of a dragon''s eye, glowing like a ruby, shot into the sky. Initially small, it rapidly expanded, reaching the size of a round table when it was about fifty meters above the ground. It then descended like a falling meteor, heading straight for the Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s head. The Burning Sun Fire Dragon let out a loud dragon roar, its long and slender body turning a translucent crimson, like a piece of high-quality warm jade. The aura it emitted almost doubled instantly, and the scorching dragon mes forced back Chu Qingtian, who had attempted a sneak attack. The dragon''s mouth opened wide, spewing a thick, scorching fire pir that shed with Wu Ming''s fourth Soul Skill, Golden Crow True me Ring. It also withstood several Soul Skills from Han Ruoru and Ling Bai without falling behind, showing its overwhelming power and control. Seeing this, Han Ruoru no longer held back. She raised both arms, her eyes glowing with silver light. The Shimmering Gold Rope wrapped around her body, spinning and dancing. Her seventh Soul Ring lit up, revealing a Soul Skill only a Soul Saint could use: Soul Master True Body! Soul Master True Body revealed the true form of her soul. After releasing the Shimmering Gold True Body, Han Ruoru''s figure disappeared from the battlefield, yet she seemed to be everywhere. Countless golden and silver Shimmering Gold Ropes scattered across the entire battlefield. Golden and silver halos rapidly appeared, lightning-fast toward the Burning Sun Fire Dragon. Sensing the threat from the Shimmering Gold Rope, the Burning Sun Fire Dragon spat out a deep red dragon me. However, the Shimmering Gold Rope seemed to ignore the extreme heat, twisting and entwining around the dragon me, deeply cutting into the Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s flesh. The Burning Sun Fire Dragon roared in anger, its body temperature rising even higher. But the Shimmering Gold Rope had many uses, being both soft and hard, flexible and rigid. It was as resilient as a tendon, and no matter how the Burning Sun Fire Dragon struggled, it couldn''t break free. Its hard side was even more terrifying, nearly indestructible, breaking through the dragon''s tough scales and exposing its flesh, with dragon blood flowing like a stream, forming a pool of steaming blood. Chu Qingtian, who had moved to the side, wouldn''t miss the chance to strike while the ironn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om was hot. He appeared silently behind the Burning Sun Fire Dragon, and the lightning-formed leopard shadow brightened, its ws piercing the exposed flesh. The Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s body flickered with electric light, convulsing like a writhing worm. "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Chu Qingtian quickly retreated, frantically shaking his reddened hands, earning a re from Wu Ming. The dragon mes constantly guarded the Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s flesh, and it was his own fault for getting burned! Then, in the dark sky, one golden light sword after another rose, forming a cluster of flying swords that looked like a swarm of fireflies. The light illuminated the forest in a brilliant golden hue, leaving elegant semicircr arcs in the night sky. The myriad of light swords descended rapidly, and the closer they got, the more the Burning Sun Fire Dragon felt the terrifying power. At this moment, it truly felt its life was in danger. The scorching red dragon mes burned wildly, and a crimson fire wheel appeared in the middle of the dragon''s body, rapidly spinning and emitting blinding light. The fire wheel detached from its body and expanded, bing a massive wheel over ten meters in diameter. The Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s innate Soul Skill, Burning Sun Wheel! For a moment, the Burning Sun Wheel swept through the sky, like a zing sun, overshadowing the moon''s light in the night! The Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s joy was short-lived as a surge of intense light erupted from Ling Bai''s right arm. A golden light pir, over ten meters wide, pierced the sky, resembling a towering golden pir! The golden pir descended from the sky, and the dragon''s body, scales, ws, and teeth were intricately carved into the pir, forming a golden holy dragon. Sacred Dragon True Form! The Holy Light Dragon dived from the sky, targeting the Burning Sun Fire Dragon, which was desperately struggling to break free from the Shimmering Gold Rope''s control. The Holy Light Dragon, transformed from the Sacred Dragon True Form, collided with the Burning Sun Wheel, and the sky and ground were filled with fierce dragon roars, like two dragons locked in a deadly battle until one perished. Light points and sparks flew in all directions, burning the air red and causing the ground to weep with scorching tears. A majestic bird cry echoed, and the Golden Crow joined the battle of the two dragons, instantly tipping the bnce. The Holy Light Dragon struck the dragon''s head, which was contorted in a grotesque expression, and the light in the Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s eyes slowly faded. A deep, ck Soul Ring floated in the air. The Shimmering Gold Rope withdrew, and Han Ruoru''s figure reappeared. She had been the main contributor to this battle, but the Soul Master True Body did not make her immune to damage. The Burning Sun Fire Dragon''s fierce struggles and dragon mes had invaded her body, causing her intense internal pain. She sat down to dissipate the mes without a word. "I''m going to tend to my injuries. Chu Qingtian, stay here and protect Ruoru and Ling Bai." Wu Ming hurried to a distant thicket, as she needed to apply medicine to her abdominal wound, which was not convenient in front of two men. "Qingtian, it''s up to you." "Sure thing!" Ling Bai used his soul power to draw the ck Soul Ring of the Burning Sun Fire Dragon. The intense mes had almost turned the night into dawn, and they needed to absorb the Soul Ring and leave quickly. If they attracted other powerful Spirit Beasts, they would be in serious trouble. "Hehe... roast meat today..." With a sinisterugh, the Burning Sun Fire Dragon had no chance of turning the tide. Half an hourter, Ling Bai sessfully absorbed the Soul Ring, and the five Soul Rings-yellow, purple, ck, and ck-made Chu Qingtian''s mouth water. Staring at the corpse of the Burning Sun Fire Dragon, Ling Bai knew it was time to open the Spirit Beast blind box. Han Ruoru and Wu Ming were still tending to their wounds, and Chu Qingtian''s luck with the ck assessment task was probably not great. Ling Bai raised his hands, staring intently at the patterns on them. Can I trust you this time! Please, bless Ling Bai again! After a busy day, the diligent Ling Bai finally... Extracted a soul bone resembling a human spine, a crimson-red Soul Bone from the trunk of the seventy-thousand-year Burning Sun Fire Dragon!

Chu Qingtian, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted the Soul Bone in Ling Bai''s hand and joked, "Bro Ling, let''s split it!" "Don''t worry, you won''t be left out!" Ling Bai replied with a smile. Before setting out, the four of them had agreed to avoid disputes: whoever dealt the final blow to the soul beast would get the Soul Bone, and the owner of the Soul Bone would pay the other three 50% of the market price as a reward for their efforts. Although Ling Bai wouldn''t absorb this 70,000-year-old trunk Soul Bone, he had several close friends with fire attributes, and he could find a suitable time to give it to them in the future. Putting away the Burning Sun Fire Dragon Soul Bone, Ling Bai took out the Holy Angel Sword and called Chu Qingtian to share the spoils. There''s a saying on the Tang Sect Continent: the meat of dragons in the sky... ....and the meat of dragons on the ground! This Burning Sun Fire Dragon, with its 70,000-year-old cultivation, was a rare delicacy, and its dragon teeth, scales, horns, and blood were priceless. The two of them happily dissected the soul beast, and in no time, it was divided into four parts, one for each of them. "You two are pretty efficient." Han Ruoru had woken up at some point, her beautiful eyes, ck as starlight, curved with a hint of amusement. "Sis, did you clear the fire from your body? Should I help you clear it again with my holy attribute?" Ling Bai asked with concern. "No need." Han Ruoru shook her head gently. "I''ve already neutralized the fire from the Burning Sun Fire Dragon. I just need to rest and recover from my internal injuries. It''s best not to fight for a while." "I''m sorry, Sis..." Han Ruoru had been injured while trying to control the Burning Sun Fire Dragon, and Ling Bai felt a bit guilty. More importantly, Wu Ming had been seriously injured by a sneak attack, and Han Ruoru, their strongest fighter, was also wounded. They might have to end their hunting trip early. "Soul Masters, injuries are amon urrence." Han Ruoru waved her hand, appearing nonchnt. She then decided, "We''ll leave the Star Dou Great Forest once Ming''er returns." Her thoughts aligned with Ling Bai''s. Given their current situation, staying in the Star Dou Great Forest was too dangerous. After a while, Wu Ming returned from the forest. She had treated her wounds and changed into a red outfit, looking both graceful and agile, which caught Chu Qingtian''s attention. Wu Ming agreed wholeheartedly with Han Ruoru''s suggestion. It was smart to leave before the volcano of the Inner Court erupted. The four of them set off immediately, with Ling Bai and Chu Qingtian taking on their roles as men: the former leading the way and thetter covering the rear, ensuring the two women were protected in the center. Han Ruoru and Wu Ming exchanged nces, their eyes twinkling with amusement. They traveled through the starlit night until dawn, stopping at a clearke at the boundary between the core and mixed zones of the Star Dou Great Forest. A mistyyer of fog floated on theke, and the air was fresh and invigorating. "Let''s rest for a bit. We need to recover our soul power and replenish our energy." Han Ruoru reminded everyone. In the Star Dou Great Forest, they needed to maintain at least 80% of their soul power at all times to avoid sudden attacks by soul beasts. Once they left the core zone, the soul beasts in the mixed zone would pose little threat to theirbined strength. Ling Bai took out a ck steamed bun from his Storage Soul Conductor. It was a specially prepared food by the Shrek Academy, containing various ingredients to promote fullness and soul power recovery. Shrek students usually carried it as their main food when traveling. As they were eating, a rustling sound came from the forest, apanied by faint, indistinct whispers. They immediately became alert, exchanging nces before slowly approaching the source of the sound. Not far from theke, arge area of treesy scattered on the ground, and the underbrush seemed to have been cleared by some creature. Through the gaps in the trees, they saw two soul beasts entangled together, one on top of the other. The one on top was arge, pale blue scorpion with a body that exuded a fiery aura, its five-segmented tail raised high. "50,000-Year Earth King!" Wu Ming''s eyes lit up. The Earth King was a powerful fire attribute soul beast, and its age was perfect for her needs. Seeing the soul beast beneath the Earth King, Chu Qingtian''s expression turned incredibly excited. It was a much smaller scorpion, about half the size of the Earth King, but its body was more beautiful, resembling a blue-purple gemstone, with a long purple tail entwined affectionately with the Earth King''s. 10,000-Year Purple Lightning Scorpion, with lightning attributes and exceptional speed. They had been nning to leave the Star Dou Great Forest, but now, the Earth King and the Purple Lightning Scorpion hade to them! Wu Ming''s beautiful eyes fixed on the two soul beasts in their peculiar position, and she asked, puzzled, "What are they doing?" Han Ruoru cleared her throat and looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear. Ling Bai stared at the ground, as if there was something interesting there. Chu Qingtian, realizing toote, found Wu Ming''s fist, the size of a sandbag, in front of his face. "The two soul beasts are..." Chu Qingtian was drenched in sweat, his brain frantically searching for words to describe the act that would pass the censors. "Creating baby scorpions, striving for new life!" Chu Qingtian felt like a genius, but Wu Ming''s fair face turned visibly red after a moment of shock. Ling Bai and Han Ruoru couldn''t help but chuckle. "Sis, two scorpions doing what they like, why are you blushing?" Wu Ming buried her red face in her arms and said sullenly, "In broad daylight, such shameless behavior. They should be properly educated!" "They haven''t noticed us. We can''t miss this perfect opportunity." Han Ruoru made a quick decision. Despite her and Wu Ming''s injuries, the two scorpions'' soul power wasn''t particrly high, and with the advantage of surprise, they had a good chance to obtain soul rings for Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian. The morning temperature in the Star Dou Great Forest was low, and the air by theke was humid. The mist was cold and damp, and they cautiously approached the two soul beasts, stopping when they were less than 500 meters away. Ling Bai whispered, "A group of soul beasts is approaching, numbering in the thousands, and they seem to be targeting those two." After the battle with the Clear Sky Magic Leopard and the Thousand-Armed Ant King, the group had absolute trust in Ling Bai. Han Ruoru thought for a moment and decided, "We''ll stay hidden and watch the situation." As she spoke, a strange wind blew from the side, turning the fresh white morning mist pink. The eerie pink mist carried a faint, sweet scent that was oddly captivating. "It''s poisonous." Ling Bai activated his Angelic Domain. "Stay within the domain." The others could see a golden shield surrounding them, preventing the pink mist from prating their ten-meter radius, no matter how thick it became or how the forest wind blew. Ling Bai recognized the source of the poison. "The Pink Lady''s excitement poison. While it''s not lethal when released individually, the Pink Ladies are a social species, and when hundreds or thousands of them release it together, it can excite a Soul Emperor to death." "And more," Han Ruoru added. "The Pink Lady is a weak,mon soul beast, but when it reaches 1,000 years of cultivation, it evolves into a Thousand-Year Pink Lady. When it reaches 10,000 years, it bes the Pink Empress, the queen of the Pink Lady species. Judging by the concentration of this poison, there must be a 10,000-year-old Pink Empress leading this group!" The Pink Lady n quickly arrived, consisting of translucent pink scorpions about two feet long, moving on the ground and emitting a faint pink gas. A sharp cry came from the depths of the poison mist, and arge pink figure darted out, revealing a huge Pink Lady, almost asrge as the 50,000-Year Earth King, with a deep pink body covered in fine, diamond-shaped scales and six dark red eyes gleaming with a cold light. Pink Empress, with 30,000 years of cultivation! Seeing the Earth King and the Purple Lightning Scorpion in axx (stacked) position, the Pink Empress opened its mouth and spewed a thick mist of poison at the Purple Lightning Scorpion. However, something that made the Pink Empress''s eyes widen in shock happened. The Earth King immediately flipped over and shot a stream of mes from its tail, burning the poison mist to nothing. "Squeak!" The Pink Empress''s six eyes showed a human-like expression of disbelief, with tears welling up, like a wife who had just caught her husband cheating. "Squeak!" The Earth King avoided looking at the Pink Empress, while the Purple Lightning Scorpion wrapped its tail around the Earth King''s, clearly telling the Pink Empress, "Yes, we did everything. What can you do about it!" "Wow, so the Purple Lightning Scorpion is the third party, caught in the act by the original mate, the Pink Empress!" Ling Baimented. Chu Qingtian''s mouth dropped open. "Ah, even the soul beast world can be this dramatic!" Han Ruoru shook her head helplessly. "The world is degenerating, even the beasts are losing their morals!" Wu Ming''s reaction was particrly strong. She growled, "Wretched Earth King, may you die a terrible death!" The Pink Empress, having grown to 30,000 years of cultivation and leading a n, was not one to endure humiliation. She immediately ordered over a thousand Pink Ladies to attack the two, determined to wash away her shame with blood! The Purple Lightning Scorpion, enveloped in lightning, transformed into a blur, leading a wave of dazzling electric light into the Pink Lady n, massacring them indiscriminately. The Pink Empress, ignoring everything, focused on the figure that had been by her side for 10,000 years, filled with overwhelming hatred born from endless love, and rammed into the Earth King with all her might. But even the Pink Empress, no matter how strong, was no match for the top-tier fire attribute soul beast, the Earth King. A burst of intense mes erupted, distorting the air in a radius of several dozen square meters around her. Her two front ws mmed into the ground, creating a powerful shockwave that forced the Pink Empress to the ground, followed by a massive column ofva that erupted and engulfed her body. The Earth King''s innate soul skill, Lava Ground Splitting Strike! Ling Bai had seen this soul skill before. Ma Xiaotao''s fourth soul skill, Phoenix Scream, was derived from the Earth King''s innate skill, a powerful explosive skill. "Bang-" The Pink Empress crashed to the ground, her once-translucent body now a terrifying dark red, emitting a foul, burnt smell, and asionally twitching. A deep 10,000-year-old soul ring floated up. On the other side, the Purple Lightning Scorpion had also defeated the Pink Lady n. Most of the Pink Ladies were dead, with only a few lucky ones managing to escape. The forest was littered with corpses, the air thick with blood, and soul rings of various colors were scattered everywhere, like a scene from a hell on earth. Seeing this violent and bloody scene, the Earth King''s inner desires resurfaced, and he pulled the Purple Lightning Scorpion close, whispering in her ear. Earth King: Darling, let''s do it again! Purple Lightning Scorpion: You naughty thing! The two soul beasts drew closer, eventually coupling in the blood of the Pink Ladies, oblivious to the world around them. "Ten Thousand des Radiance!" "Control Ring!" "Golden Crow True Fire!" "Thunderstorm!" The two soul beasts were shocked by the sudden attack. The Control Ring restrained them first, followed by the Ten Thousand des Radiance from the Six-Winged Angel, which dealt heavy damage. The Golden Crow and the Thunderstorm Panther finished off the weakened targets. Thebo was executed smoothly, and the two 10,000-year-old soul beasts had no chance to resist. The Earth King didn''t even have time to pull away! Two 10,000-year-old soul rings floated up, emitting deep ck light. The Earth King and the Purple Lightning Scorpion were finished! These two 10,000-year-old soul beasts had proven one thing: whether human or soul beast, they were very vulnerable when driven by desire! "Do you know what the Earth King''s death teaches us?" Wu Ming asked the two boys gently. Ling Bai sped his hands to his heart, lookingpassionate. "Being a wretched man has no good end." "Agreed," Chu Qingtian nodded vigorously. "Wrong, being a wretched man means dying without a trace!" With that, Wu Ming burned the Earth King with Golden Crow True Fire, sat down to absorb the soul ring, leaving Ling Bai and Chu Qingtian to exchange nces. It seemed like a warning to the two of them. Not sure, let''s see! Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian absorbed their soul rings, while Ling Bai and Han Ruoru guarded them. "Sis, we''re just short of your soul ring," Ling Bai said regretfully. "The chances of encountering an 80,000-year-old soul beast outside the core zone are almost zero." "Haha, I''d rather not this time." Han Ruoru looked calm. If they encountered a powerful 80,000-year-old soul beast, they would be at risk of being wiped out. "...Sis, what if things don''t go as nned?" Ling Bai''s face suddenly twisted. "You mean... we can''t be that unlucky, right!" Han Ruoru''s lips parted, ncing at Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian, who still needed at least an hour to absorb their soul rings. The worst-case scenario had happened. "The iing soul beast is even stronger than the Burning Sun Fire Dragon!" The two of them stood in front of Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian. A few secondster, a blue figure appeared. A majestic male lion, standing over five meters tall, its paws seemingly unaffected by gravity, with a pale blue mane as clear aske water, shimmering in the sunlight, and two blue tentacles growing from each shoulder, waving in the wind. Han Ruoru gritted her teeth. "Naturally water-controlled, Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast. This means theke is its territory, and now the owner is back..." Ling Bai clenched his teeth. "Those two dead scorpions, actually mating on someone else''s territory!"

You can also join the Geriatric Trantions Community on Discord to connect with other readers: https://discord.gg/NSWvfN7vua The Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast is a top-tier soul beast born to control water, possessing near- ultimate water attributes. Its two tentacle-like appendages on its shoulders are unpredictable, excelling in attack, defense, and speed without any noticeable weaknesses. More disheartening is that this Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast has already surpassed the 90,000- year cultivation mark. Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian are in the state of absorbing Soul Rings, and forcibly stopping would result in a bacsh from the Soul Ring. However, Ling Bai and Han Ruoru, who has yet to recover from her internal injuries, are no match for the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast! The Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast saw the devastation around itsir, with the Pink Lady n lying dead and blood flowing in rivers. The three Ten-Thousand-Year Scorpion Soul Beasts had died in tragic conditions. It then noticed Ling Bai and the others. The hatred soul beasts have for soul masters is a given, and the pair of light blue beast eyes immediately filled with anger. The two tentacles shot out like giant pythons. "Swoosh-" The Shimmering Gold Rope entangled with the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast''s tentacles. The golden and blue colors intertwined likepeting ropes, emitting a grating sound that made one''s teeth ache. Han Ruoru turned her head to look at Ling Bai, speaking urgently: "Junior Brother, take them and go. I''ll stay and hold off the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast!" "Senior Sister..." Before Ling Bai could finish, Han Ruoru interrupted him loudly: "This guy is at the level of a Soul Douluo, a battle you can''t participate in. If you don''t leave, you''ll be endangering Ming''er and Chu Qingtian! Go first, I won''t fight to the death; I''ll find an opportunity to escape and rejoin you!" "Alright!" Ling Bai didn''t argue further. After all, Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian were currently too fragile, and any involvement in the battle could have disastrous consequences. Angel Soul Power enveloped the two, and Ling Bai took onest deep look at Han Ruoru and the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast. He then unfurled his Angel Wings and sped away toward the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest. Ling Bai and the others disappeared into the distance, leaving Han Ruoru alone to face the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast. Her expression was grave, as she hadn''t expected their situation to mirror Zhang Lexuan''s, encountering a soul beast they couldn''t match. At the same time, she felt a sense of relief. This Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast wasn''t a hundred- thousand-year soul beast. Even with her internal injuries, she could at least hold it off for twenty minutes, giving Ling Bai enough time to lead Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian to safety! "Lexuan told me that in herte-night reveries, she always recalled the juniors who fell before her. She deeply regretted not protecting her younger siblings as the senior sister of the Inner Courtyard. Fortunately, heaven has been kind to me, and I can protect the ones I want to!" Seven Soul Rings-yellow, purple, ck-suddenly rose. Han Ruoru looked at the massive soul beast behind her, which radiated a sun-like blue light, as the Shimmering Gold Rope twisted and danced fearlessly! On the other side, Ling Bai led the two out of the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest into the mixed zone. Here, there weren''t many powerful ten-thousand-year soul beasts, and with the Spider Empress''s premonition, they could predict dangers. They were safe. As for Han Ruoru... Water nourishes all things without contention, epassing everything. Although itsbat power isn''t as strong as that of sacred, lightning, or fire, water is one of the most tenacious attributes in the world. Moreover, the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast had an overwhelming cultivation advantage. The probability of Han Ruoru escaping smoothly... was slim! Sacrificing others to gain a chance at survival, especially a close senior sister, Ling Bai felt a sense of shame for the first time in over a decade, a feeling that almost consumed him. His fists clenched, veins bulging. He made a decision instantly. Beneath Chu Qingtian and Wu Ming''s bodies,yers of glowing Big Dipper Formation Diagrams ovepped, and the Holy Angel Sword was inserted into the central array eye. After making all the preparations, he returned to the battlefield! ... "Boom-" The forest near theke was shrouded in water mist. After a loud explosion, Han Ruoru was sent flying, but instead of hitting the solid ground, shended in a cold, almost icy embrace. Han Ruoru was stunned for a moment, then turned around to see who had caught her and shouted angrily: "Ling Bai, are you crazy? Why did youe back?" In the eleven months since Ling Bai entered the Shrek Academy, this was the first time Han Ruoru had called him by his name, clearly indicating her extreme anger. "Senior Sister, do you want us to live on by treading on your flesh and blood, and for the Shrek Academy to have three people who will regret it for the rest of their lives?" Ling Bai released Han Ruoru, and his back seemed to have eight bulges ready to burst through his clothes. Dark clouds spread over the sky, like a tide covering the sunlight. He stood there calmly, like a towering mountain. "This is my duty, protecting you is the senior sister''s responsibility!" Han Ruoru bit her red lips, struggling to suppress the surging blood and qi within her. "That''s right, and it''s also the junior brother''s duty to protect the senior sister. Please rest assured, I''ve sent Senior Sister Wu and Qingtian to a safe ce and set up fiveyers of luminous spirit arrays and the Holy Angel Sword as defense. The rest, I''ll face it with you. Not to die together, but to live together!" "Swoosh-" In Han Ruoru''s shocked gaze, eight wicked purple-ck spider spears burst out of his back. Each spear was over three meters long, exuding a deathly aura. Two Soul Rings-one gray and one ck-shone brightly! The Death Prison Spider Empress had possessed him! The Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast strolled over, only to find that the human woman it had been * had been rescued by the human man who had fled earlier. Thetter''s blood-red eyes glowed in the mist, filled with an extreme and mad killing intent. The Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast felt as if arge hand was gripping its heart, ready to crush it into pieces with the slightest provocation! "Roar!!!" The Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast opened its massive mouth and roared to the sky, the aura of the King of Beasts and the 90,000-year-old soul power spreading in all directions, creating ripples. Its blue eyes stared at Ling Bai with the intensity of an irreconcble enemy. A mere soul master of over fifty levels dared to have such murderous thoughts against it-what a disgrace! The two tentacles extending from its shoulders drew a perfect circle in the air, forming a new sun of water, reflecting a bluish-white light that surpassed the real sunlight! "Devour! Soul!" The Death Prison Scythe shed through, shattering the sky and raining down water droplets. Through the falling water, Han Ruoru saw the purple-ck cracks spreading from Ling Bai''s white neck to his face, like the veins of a spider web. Since the ck Soul Ring of the ten-thousand-year Pink Lady Queen, countless Soul Rings of Pink Ladies had flooded into Ling Bai''s body. The uncontrolled absorption of Soul Rings canst for two hours, so they hadn''t dissipated yet. The Soul Devouring of over a thousand Soul Rings gave him the chance to challenge the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast! Fresh red blood beads seeped through his skin, his body absorbing the Soul Rings to the extreme. Ling Bai raised his head, his blood-red eyes almost dripping blood, as if an evil demon was awakening within him, taking over the originally radiant and righteous angelic body! "An Evil Spirit Soul?!" Han Ruoru''s jade-like face instantly turned pale. She never imagined that Ling Bai had a dual soul, and even more shockingly, his second soul was an Evil Spirit Soul! The Six-Winged Angel and the Evil Spirit Soul coexisting, a phenomenon that would make the greatest theoretical masters of the continent p themselves, eximing that it was impossible, absolutely impossible! The Six-Winged Angel is a symbol of sanctity, with the innate mission to expel evil. How could it coexist with an Evil Spirit Soul? The undeniable fact stood before them-Ling Bai was a monstrous being who embraced both sanctity and evil! "Senior Sister, we can''t choose our innate abilities. Overthinking it serves no purpose. The only thing you need to do is one thing-cooperate with me and kill it!" Ling Bai''s tone became more domineering, the influence of the Death Prison Spider Empress''s possession making him act more recklessly and without restraint! Rough words, but the truth. Han Ruoru nodded heavily. No matter what the answer was, they had to survive first! The sudden surge of their auras made the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast pause, and then a tall, blue shadow rose behind it. It was a majestic and dignified lion, whose mouth opened and let out a silent roar, the ground trembling, and the wind in the area seemed trapped, only swirling around, leaving the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast in absolute silence! The Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast''s innate soul skill, Azure Sky Reflection! A control-type soul skill, Azure Sky Reflection causes dizziness and forced weakness within its range, while enhancing the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast''s abilities to a certain extent! The best way to counter a control-type skill is with another control skill. Han Ruoru''s sixth and seventh Soul Rings shone simultaneously, her body transforming into countless gold and silver halos. The halos then turned horizontal and surged violently, like a tidal wave, filling the air with intense soul power fluctuations, making the lion of Azure Sky Reflection appear illusory! Shimmering Gold Rope''s sixth soul skill, Shimmering Golden Wave! A full-range group control soul skill, primarily for repelling. In her soul true body state, Shimmering Golden Wave could negate most of the negative effects of Azure Sky Reflection! Ling Bai took a deep breath, the Death Prison Spider Spears and the Death Prison Scythe glowing with evil light. He exhaled and stomped the ground, using the impact to rush toward the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast. The ten-thousand-year ck Soul Ring around his body glowed brightly, and the Death Prison Scythe converged in front of his chest, while the eight Death Prison Spider Spears transformed into eight bloody weapons-swords, spears, axes, and halberds! The Death Prison Spider Empress''s second soul skill, Extreme Punishment! If the blood-soaked aura of the Pink Lady n was like a ughterhouse, then the Extreme Punishment from the Dark Empress You Luo was like the punishment of the underworld! White mist rose from Ling Bai''s body, his blood flowing like a river, and unparalleled soul power surged through his limbs. This was the power brought by the Death Prison Spider Empress''s ultimate soul devouring-beautiful and powerful! The Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast was momentarily stunned by Ling Bai, trying to retreat but it was toote. The eight different Death Prison Spider Spears pierced through its chest! A deafening howl echoed, and the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast endured the Extreme Punishment. It recalled a battle with a ten-thousand-year-old Dark Golden w Bear a hundred years ago, the feeling of being hit in the chest by the Dark Golden w, the cracking sound of bones and flesh, and the relentless destruction of every cell by the extreme death! In the next second, an unstoppable water pir with immense forceunched Ling Bai into the air like a cannonball, creating a sonic boom as he was hurled skyward! The Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast''s innate soul skill, Azure Sea Tide! Ling Bai rolled dozens of times in mid-air and was about to hit the ground when Han Ruoru supported him with the Shimmeri Gold Rope. Even so, his dragged two furrows on the ground uponnding. If not for his undying body, his legs would have been broken and he would have fallen to his knees. "Realm of Death." A purple-ck field instantly enveloped the battlefield. The initial Soul Devouring was a test on the edge of sanity, but now, with the innate field Realm of Death enhancing it, it meant Ling Bai had unleashed the full power of the Death Prison Spider Empress. A more massive Death Prison Spider Empress shadow rose, its eyes filled with a bloodthirsty hunting gaze! The sky began to rain. With the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast''s anger and roars, dark clouds gathered, and the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast no longer underestimated these two puny humans. It was determined to fight to the death, charging at them like a natural disaster, driving the Azure Sea Tide to its limit! Gold and silver light flickered, and the Shimmering Gold Ropes glowed, the suspended raindrops pausing as if frozen in time, the clear water droplets reflecting the surrounding shadows like curved spherical mirrors, slowing down the speed of the Azure Sea Tide. Ling Bai moved as well, the raindrops and mist parting as the Death Prison Scythe shed, the ck scythe de above the blue-white mist and the golden Shimmering Gold Rope below, the final sh cutting through the air in a tragic ck curve, like the boundary between the sea and the sky! Death Prison Scythe-Execution!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om In the blink of an eye, Han Ruoru saw the blue-white tide part, the waves curling at the top. The human and the beast were resolute, the scythe and the tentacle piercing each other''s hearts simultaneously, neither showing any sign of cowardice or retreat, leading to the most brutal scene. The Realm of Death dissipated, and Ling Bai fell like a leaf, caught by Han Ruoru as the Shimmering Gold Rope transformed back. She tightly embraced him. The Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast crashed into the ground with a loud thud, spewing blood from its mouth, the massive ck wound on its chest telling the witnesses of the terrifying blow it had received. It struggled to stand, determined to die after the human! Ling Bai also refused Han Ruoru''s support, covering his heart and shakily standing up. They faced each other, silently waiting for one to fall. After a while, looking at the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast with fading eyes, Ling Bai suddenly smiled: "Fool, only you will die." The blood on the ground defied gravity, flowing back into the terrifying wound on his chest, visibly healing at an rming rate. For one who possesses ultimate death, even a ruptured heart isn''t a fatal injury. A blow to the head from the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast would be far more lethal than a pierced heart. "Senior Sister, finish it." The Shimmering Gold Rope slithered into the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast''s head, destroying its neural center. In extreme hatred and unwillingness, a 90,000-year-old soul beast fell. "It suits you, absorb it quickly, Senior Sister." "No, that''s not important!" Han Ruoru shook her head slowly but firmly, her gaze intense: "Junior Brother, is there anything you want to tell me?"

After consuming over a thousand Soul Rings, including a thirty-thousand-year-old Pink Empress, Ling Bai''s soul power surged, but the tide of soul power receded, plunging him into unparalleled pain. His skin cracked, capiries burst, and blood spurted out, making the world seem to spin before his eyes. "Senior Sister, do you think there''s anything left for me to say? Haven''t you seen everything?" Ling Bai suddenlyughed, his bloodstained clothes trembling with hisughter. Heughed without restraint, but Han Ruoru sensed a hint of helplessness and pain in it. She pursed her dry lips and said with difficulty: "Yes, I saw it and found it hard to believe. So, you are a Dual Soul Power user. And your second martial soul is... the Evil Spirit Soul." "How ironic, isn''t it? The martial soul that apanies the Six-Winged Angel, the executor of justice in the human world, is the Evil Spirit Soul, capable of devouring bones and souls. That day in the Inner Academy Library, I read through the records of the Tang Sect Continent''s ten-thousand-year history of Evil Soul Masters, and I couldn''t find a single Evil Spirit Soul more greedy and bloodthirsty than the Death Prison Spider Emperor." Ling Bai raised his left hand, which housed the Death Prison Scythe. The clearly defined back of his hand looked like a piece of jade art, and the sunlight seemed to reveal the purple-ck blood flowing through his veins. "No wonder that day in the library, you asked me such a strange question." Han Ruoru lowered her head weakly, her eyes slowly closing together. Her trembling eyshes betrayed her chaotic and conflicted emotions. She was an elite of Shrek Academy''s Inner Academy, a member of the Inner Academy''s surveince team, tasked with eliminating all Evil Soul Masters and maintaining the order of the Tang Sect Continent. Yet, when it came to Ling Bai, she was torn. The eleven months since Ling Bai''s enrollment were the happiest times for Han Ruoru since she entered the Inner Academy. Finally, someone shared her interests, willing to apany her to the library to read ancient texts and to have breakfast with her, rain or shine. At first, the little junior brother was just a joke, but as time passed, she truly acknowledged Ling Bai as her little junior brother. "Senior Sister, what do you n to do? Report to Shrek Academy?" Ling Bai showed no awareness of being an Evil Soul Master, watching Han Ruoru with a rxed demeanor, seemingly very eager to see what decision she would make. "I..." Han Ruoru''s mind was a chaotic mess. Just by the Death Prison Spider Emperor''s extreme talent for devouring souls, if he repeated the act of devouring the Pink Empress n dozens of times, Ling Bai would surely break through to level ny within three years, bing a powerful Evil Soul Master Sealed Douluo, wreaking havoc on the continent. Reason told Han Ruoru that there was no need to report to the academy; she should take advantage of Ling Bai''s weakened state and strike decisively, eliminating a major threat to the continent in advance. But her emotions made it impossible for her to raise a hand against him. If not for saving her, Ling Bai would never have revealed the Death Prison Spider Emperor. With the continent''s most sacred martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, Shrek Academy would never suspect her of being an Evil Soul Master, let alone Ling Bai. They would even hold his hand with hope, saying earnestly: Child, the bright future of the continent depends on you! Han Ruoru''s chest rose and fell slightly, her face expressionless as she regted her breathing. Her brain CPU worked frantically, hoping to find a solution that would not betray the academy or her feelings. "Hmm?" She noticed that Ling Bai seemed to be staring at her, realizing that her emotional changes werepletely visible to him. Her expression suddenly became even colder. This behavior of anger and embarrassment was not lost on Ling Bai, who couldn''t help but chuckle. "What are youughing at, you little rascal? Do you have a conscience?" Han Ruoru red at him. "Why not? Evil Soul Masters canugh too, right?" Ling Bai felt that Han Ruoru was like a meticulous little dog, seriously pondering an incredibly serious question, trying to find what she believed to be a perfect solution. From the beginning, his mindset remained calm. When Han Ruoru called him ''little junior brother,'' Ling Bai already understood that the pure and kind Senior Sister was bound to be swayed by the irredeemable Evil Soul Master. "I''m asking you." After a long time, Han Ruoru finally made up her mind and said seriously, "From the moment you awakened the Evil Spirit Soul until now, have you ever killed innocent civilians for the sake of cultivating soul power?" "So far, whether it''s civilians or soul masters, I have not taken the life of a single human." Ling Bai hid his yful expression, adopting a serious one. Before enrolling at Shrek Academy, he had always lived in the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, and it wasn''t his ce to kill. "Hmm!" Han Ruoru immediately felt relieved. Ling Bai''s words also provided her with a reason to ept him. A hint of reminiscence shed in her eyes as she said: "I still remember your question in the library. Senior Sister, if you had awakened the Evil Spirit Soul, what would you have chosen? That day, my answer was that I would spend my entire life fighting against the Evil Spirit Soul, striving to be a person with a clean soul and a clear conscience. Now I ask you the same question. Little junior brother, since you have awakened the Evil Spirit Soul, can you fight against evil all your life and keep your soul clean?" "Senior Sister, I have always been doing that." Ling Bai''s golden eyes were filled with sincerity. "I am fortunate to have been born into this world, so heaven must not have sent me here to destroy it. I chose to reject the path of corruption, and I will uphold my beliefs from start to finish, never turning back." "You must understand that throughout history, countless Evil Soul Masters have appeared. Many Evil Soul Masters didn''t want to be Evil Soul Masters at first, but they all ended up the same..." Han Ruoru sighed. "Falling into corruption is the essence of Evil Soul Masters. There is a vivid example right here at the academy, Ma Xiaotao, known as the Inner Academy Volcano alongside Ming''er. The Phoenix Evil Fire is the least threatening of the Evil Spirit Souls'' desires. Despite the countless treasures in the Sea God Pavilion''s underground, the academy has been helpless in dealing with it, often leading to her being unable to suppress her evil fire. Your Death Prison Spider Emperor, in my view, is far more evil than the Fiery Evil Phoenix. The cold and violent nature that seeps into the soul... I fear that one day you might fall into the evil of ughtering all living beings." "Doing the impossible is my greatest sincerity to the Tang Sect Continent." Ling Bai''s eyes were sharp and his tone resolute. A fierce and decisive will rose within him. Whether it was the Death Prison Spider Emperor or the Raksha God, his inner pride wouldn''t allow him to be defeated by evil, especially since Ilex had provided a solution topletely resolve the Raksha evil power, though the difficulty was extremely high, requiring a ten- thousand-year ultimate fire and ultimate light treasures... "Alright, I believe you, and I promise to keep this secret forever." Hearing this, Han Ruoru suddenly smiled, but she quicklyposed herself and said firmly: "Little junior brother, if one day in the future, you sumb to the evil thoughts of the Death Prison Spider Emperor and n to kill innocents, the first person you kill will be me!" "In this life and the next, that day will nevere." "I hope that day neveres!" Han Ruoru frowned and muttered, "If you kill me, a dozen Sealed Douluo will scatter your ashes, and in the next life, you''ll be a mouse and I''ll be a cat, and I''ll bite you to death as soon as I see you!" "Hahaha, Senior Sister, you hate me so much that you won''t let go even in the next life!" Ling Bai was amused by Han Ruoru. "Of course!" Han Ruoru said seriously, "If you massacre civilians, you''re a murderer, and if I cover for you, I''m an aplice. We''ll both be the continent''s eternal sinners, nailed to the pir of shame for all to spit on. Biting you to death in the next life would be the lighter punishment!" "Alright, alright, I can''t argue with you, Senior Sister!" Ling Bai raised three fingers, "I swear to the gods... to the heavens... mmm!" Before he could finish his sentence, a pale, warm hand covered Ling Bai''s mouth. Han Ruoru smiled and said: "No need to swear, just do this with me." She then extended a yful little finger. "Pinky promise. In the town where I was born, a pinky promise means never going back on your word." Ling Bai inwardly scoffed at the idea that there was something even more ridiculous than swearing, but his body instinctively extended his little finger. The two slender fingers tightly intertwined, and finally, his thumb lightly touched, leaving a mark in the center of their fingers. Seal! After doing this, Han Ruoru nodded in satisfaction. A pinky promise and a vow were essentially the same; it was just a way to make one''s heart feel at ease. She then pulled Ling Bai to her side without hesitation, and he suddenly realized that his head was resting on a soft pillow. Ling Bai''s brain CPU instantly overheated, with ck smoke billowing. This wasn''t just any pillow; it was the legendaryp pillow! How to describe it... It was a level offort and warmth that some single dogs had never experienced in their entire lives. "Eh? Wait!" Thep pillow from Senior Sister was indeed intoxicating, but the catch was ignoring the fact that Senior Sister was silently holding up seven or eight different colored ointments and gleaming silver needles over her thigh, where her little junior brothery! Well, it turned out to be a trap to lower one''s guard! Ling Bai prepared to do a fish flip, but Han Ruoru''s sharp eyes pinned him down, thwarting his st struggle." Facing the handsome face filled with despair, Senior Sister''s voice was gentle: "You''re so badly injured, there''s not a single good spot on your body. Little junior brother, be good, Senior Sister will help you stitch and apply ointment." "Please, Senior Sister... be gentle..." Half an hourter, Ling Bai endured the fiery pain all over his body, his expression twitching as hey on thep pillow. "Senior Sister, I suspect you''re getting revenge on me." "Hmm?" Han Ruoru''s face darkened as she tugged on Ling Bai''s super-soft cheek, making him wince. "You call treating injuries revenge?" Since his face was at her mercy, Ling Bai had to say vaguely, "Senior Sister, have you heard of mummies?" "What are those?" Han Ruoru asked curiously. "It''s not important, just remember, I''m a mummy now." Han Ruoru understood; Ling Bai was indirectly mocking her! Alright, she admitted that Ling Bai looked like a bandaged monster at the moment, but that was because his injuries were severe, not due to poor bandaging! Meanwhile, two figures were peeking from behind a tree, Wu Ming''s jealousy almost tangible, wishing he could bite a white handkerchief and cry. "Mmm, I want Ruoru Sister''sp pillow too!" The loud jealousy caught Han Ruoru''s attention, and arge red well symbol appeared above her head. She turned and shouted: "What are you talking about? Come over here quickly!" Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian awkwardly shuffled over, with Chu Qingtian holding a golden long sword. "You scared us, we thought something had happened, and you lost the Holy Angel Sword! The Holy Angel Sword returned to its rightful owner, and Chu Qingtianughed heartily, giving Ling Bai a look that said, ''You''re really something, kid.'' Ling Bai rolled his eyes; indeed, fools have fools'' luck, and ignorance is bliss! Han Ruoru briefly exined what had happened, of course, omitting the details about the Death Prison Spider Emperor. She only mentioned that Ling Bai had used a secret technique that damaged his body to save everyone, which made Wu Ming say on the spot that she could also offer ap pillow as a way to repay the favor. Seeing Chu Qingtian praying with sped hands, Ling Bai decisively declined Wu Ming''s offer. Times had changed; even the Inner Academy Volcano had a secret admirer! "Wait a moment, I need to absorb the Soul Ring." After all themotion, Han Ruoru almost forgot about the ny-thousand-year-old Soul Ring of the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast. An hourter, Han Ruoru sessfully obtained her eighth Soul Ring. The four then evacuated from the Star Dou Great Forest. Compared to when they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, their pace of leaving was much slower. Out of the four, three were injured. Ling Bai had severe injuries and a ruptured heart, Han Ruoru had worsened internal injuries from the battle with the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast, and Wu Ming had an abdominal injury. The only one in good condition was the weak Chu Qingtian. The dire situation led Chu Qingtian to take on the task of scouting. Fortunately, the Star Dou Great Forest had aplex and open terrain, and the Electric Mad Leopard''s speed advantage could be fully utilized. Moreover, Chu Qingtian seemed particrly enthusiastic, protecting his secret admirer made him very proactive in scouting!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Han Ruoru quietly approached and held Ling Bai''s wrist, helping him continue walking. Ling Bai shook his head, but she insisted on taking care of him. The physical contact and the friction of their clothes against their skin allowed him to clearly feel her warmth under the sunlight. Night fell, and the four were roughly in the middle of the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest. They would return to Shrek Academy by the afternoon the next day. The Thousand-Jin Ant King had destroyed their tent, so they finished eating steamed buns and decided to meditate and recover their soul power and physical strength by leaning against a towering ancient tree. They would take turns keeping watch for an hour. "I''ll go first." Ling Bai climbed up the tree, and the Spider Empress''s senses constantly scanned the surroundings for any soul beast attacks. Under the tree, Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian quickly entered meditation, while Han Ruoru looked up at Ling Bai. He sat on a branch, one hand casually resting on his knee, gazing into the distance. From Han Ruoru''s angle, she could see his profile, handsome and graceful. Her eyes, as dark as a stillke, momentarily rippled but quickly returned to calm. Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Ling Bai. Ling Bai asked in confusion, "Senior Sister, why are you here?" Under the moonlight, star-like spiritual light scattered from the woman''s eyes, her clear gaze gently rippling, "You''re badly injured, let me take the watch." "Alright, let''s do it together. We can chat. Senior Sister, Qingtian and I n to take on our first surveince mission as freshmen tomorrow. Do you have any advice?" "Sure."

I''ll go back with Sister Ruo Ruo to rest and heal, and you two head to the Supervision Pavilion to receive your monitoring tasks." Wu Ming stretched her arms wide, the sunlight casting a delicate silhouette of her slim and graceful figure. Her face, visibly rxed, made it clear that after over a decade at Shrek, the academy felt like a second home to her. Han Ruoru looked at Ling Bai, her eyes filled with deep concern. She gently advised, "Little Junior Brother, remember what I told youst night. Monitoring tasks are different from evaluation tasks; there''s no room for luck. To ensure thepletion rate and survival rate of the tasks, the academy assigns the most suitable monitoring tasks to each Inner Courtyard disciple based on their talents,bat strength, and personality..." Hearing this, Chu Qingtian couldn''t help but clench his fists. Great,st time he drew a ck- Level task to kill a Blood-Faced Evil Soul Master, and only by the grace of the heavens did he survive. If it weren''t for that guy offending the granddaughter of a Sealed Douluo, who then called in her grandfather to save her, he would have been minced into dumpling filling long ago. Han Ruoru continued, unhurriedly, "Based on your rating, I guess you''ll be assigned the most difficult Red-Level Monitoring Task. Your injuries need at least seven days of rest, and you shouldn''t engage in any battles in between. Fortunately, the academy has rxed the requirements for freshmen''s first monitoring task, giving you a month toplete it. Don''t force yourself to fight, or you''ll end up with chronic injuries. And one more thing, pay attention to your diet during recovery. You usually like sour, sweet, and spicy foods, but you should eat more light dishes while healing." "Mm-hm." Ling Bai nodded, taking everything to heart. "And one more thing, stay away from darkness and close to light. Go out and bask in the sun for an hour every day to dispel evil. And one more thing, I bought the wings of a Light Goddess Butterfly at the academy''s treasure fair five years ago. I''ll find a skilled craftsman during the holiday to make you an amulet... And one more thing..." Ling Bai''s head was gradually filled with ck lines as he listened, while Chu Qingtian felt drowsy, reminiscing about the soul master theory sses given by their first-year homeroom teacher in the Outer Courtyard. Wu Ming, straightforward and blunt, interrupted Han Ruoru''s incessant chatter, feigning anger, "Stop, stop, stop! Dear Miss Han Ruoru, remember you''re his senior, not his mother! It''s just a monitoring task; if you''re so worried, why don''t you go with him!" "It does make sense, but it would vite the academy''s rules... But then again, rules are rigid, but people are flexible..." Han Ruoru seemed quite moved. Knowing about the hidden danger of the Evil Soul Beast: Death Prison Spider King, she was even reluctant to let Ling Bai out of her sight for a second, fearing he might suddenly turn and go on a killing spree. Hearing this, Wu Ming was puzzled, shocked, and terrified. Her fair face turned a kaleidoscope of colors. Sister, are you crazy? Are you really going to be his mother? She then suddenly jumped up, hooking her arm around Han Ruoru''s swan-like neck and dragging her away, shouting to Ling Bai and Chu Qingtian, "I''m taking her to clear her head. You two, get going!" Ling Bai gave a distant thumbs-up and walked with Chu Qingtian toward the Inner Courtyard Supervision Pavilion. "Brother Ling, why do I feel that Senior Sister Han is being a bit too concerned about you?" Chu Qingtian scratched his head. "It''s like she wants to take care of your every need." The reasons were not something to be shared with outsiders. Ling Bai smiled, "It''s just normal concern. We are Inner Courtyard seniors and juniors, so it''s understandable to be close." "Mm-hm..." Chu Qingtian thought about it and found it made sense. After all, Ling Bai and Han Ruoru had never been secretive about their close rtionship, and all the Inner Courtyard disciples knew about it. The two entered the Shrek Supervision Pavilion and happened to meet Dugu Lin and Pan Tao. The two girls were talking to an old man with a long, ghastly scar running down his face. "Old Li, why is it you?" Ling Bai and Chu Qingtian were slightly taken aback. Wasn''t Old Li the Examination Hall Master? Why was he here at the Supervision Pavilion? "Shrek Academy allows part-time positions. Do you two have any objections?" Old Li, the Examination Hall Master and Supervision Pavilion Chief, raised an eyebrow, as if one wrong answer would result in him making their lives miserable from then on. "Ha, how could we object? Old Li, you''re full of energy and getting younger every day. I think you could even rece the Beast King in the arena," Ling Bai said with a sincere tone, his eyes closed. "That''s a decent answer. The four of you, follow me." Old Li smiled, the scar on his face resembling a centipede, making him look even more terrifying. He turned and walked into the depths of the Supervision Pavilion, gesturing for Ling Bai and the others to follow. Dugu Lin naturally moved closer to Ling Bai, whispering into his ear with a warm, fragrant breath, "You''re quick on your feet, but why did you close your eyes?" Ling Bai whispered back, "Because I can''t lie with my eyes open without getting struck by lightning." "Ha ha ha, you''re so naughty~" "Creak-" Old Li''s fist hardened! The depths of the Supervision Pavilion were a vast hall, so spacious that it felt eerily quiet. The four of them, who had been studying in the Inner Courtyard for almost a year, didn''t need Old Li to beat around the bush. He got straight to the point: "I''m sure you all know the four graduation standards of the Shrek Inner Courtyard: level sixty soul power, a ck-level soul duel badge, passing the graduation exam, andpleting thirty monitoring tasks. The Shrek Inner Courtyard has another name on the continent: the Shrek Surveince Corps. Each generation''s Sea God Pavilion Master personally serves as the corpsmander, and any evil and chaos on the continent falls under the jurisdiction of the Shrek Surveince Corps. Thus, countless Shrek disciples and teachers have died while executing monitoring tasks to uphold this duty and honor..." This monument built of blood and flesh was too heavy to bear. Old Li paused for a moment before continuing: "Monitoring tasks, like evaluation tasks, are divided into five levels: White, Yellow, Purple, ck, and Red, with increasing difficulty. The first monitoring task for freshmen is also your upgrade task for this year. The task period is one month, and those who fail will return to their sects to enjoy afortable life, no need to suffer on Sea God Ind anymore. Now, I will assign your monitoring tasks on behalf of the Sea God Pavilion Master. First, Pan Tao." "Here!" Pan Tao gave a sloppy military salute. "White-Level task: Man-Faced Demon Spider. In the vige near the Radiant Star City of the Star Luo Empire, there is a Man-Faced Demon Spider with three thousand years of cultivation causing chaos. Your task is to kill it and help the vigers." "Guaranteed toplete the task!" "Tsk, tsk, tsk, in this day and age, Man-Faced Demon Spiders have been reduced to White- Level tasks..." Chu Qingtian felt a toothacheing on, unable to imagine how difficult ck-Level and Red-Level tasks must be! "Dugu Lin, ck-Level task: Cat Woman. In the noble city of Hailing in the Spirit Dou Empire, the nobleman Xue Wang is obsessed with Cat Women, forcingmon women to mate with cat-type soul beasts to produce half-human, half-cat Cat Women. Your task is to kill Xue Wang and rescue those innocent women." "Understood!" Dugu Lin''s eyes glinted with a bone-chilling coldness, her pupils almost turning vertical. The noble ss of the Spirit Dou Continent had many cruel and perverted individuals who enjoyed the offspring of humans and soul beasts, such as Cat Women, snake women, and dragon women... Their births were built on the flesh and souls of countless women, only to be used for entertainment. As a woman, Dugu Lin vowed to make Xue Wang pay with his blood! "Chu Qingtian, ck-Level task: kill an Evil Soul Master..." "What? Another ck-Level task, another Evil Soul Master!?N?v(el)B\\jnn Chu Qingtian''s high-pitched voice shook the leaves outside, and birds fluttered out of the trees in rm. He trembled and pointed at Dugu Lin, angrily saying, "Old Li, the academy might as well just kill me! How can you think I''m at the same level as Senior Lin? She could take on three of me without breaking a sweat!" "Believe in yourself, don''t underestimate yourself. You did a great job on thest evaluation task." Old Li tried tofort Chu Qingtian, but Chu Qingtian was frozen in ce, seriously suspecting that Shrek Academy was deliberately targeting him. "Actually, there are benefits to doing ck-Level tasks." Old Li cleared his throat, "The academy''s graduation requirement is thirty White-Level tasks. For each level higher, the task counts as one more White-Level task. Completing the most difficult Red-Level task is equivalent to five White-Level tasks. Think about it, if you''re assigned a ck-Level task from the start, won''t you reach the graduation requirements much faster!" "If I have the luck to live that long..." Chu Qingtian squatted to the side, drawing circles, while Old Li leaned over to exin the task details. He then looked at Ling Bai for a long time before suddenly smiling and asking, "Ling Bai, what level do you think your monitoring task will be?" "Red-Level." "So calm?" Old Li was surprised. "Last time, when you drew the Red-Level task Medusa, you seemed a bit overwhelmed." What a question! What a question! A one-in-a-thousand Red-Level evaluation task is bad luck, but a Red-Level Monitoring Task is a sign of strength! Confusing concepts, are we!? And he had just drawn a 70,000-year-old Burning Sun Fire Dragon Trunk Bone, which had turned his luck around. If the Spirit Dou Continent had invented soul conductor cameras, Ling Bai would have definitely framed a photo of the soul bone drop and hung it on the wall to prove how lucky he was! Ling Bai''s resentment rose, making Dugu Lin and Pan Tao burst intoughter. Old Li''s smile couldn''t be suppressed as he said, "Red-Level task: Catastrophic Snow Demon. The Dragon City of the Tianhun Empire is near the Ultimate North, and the nearby viges live by growing special crops and herbs like the Ultimate North Moonlight Rice. Recently, their fields have been ravaged by soul beasts. ording to Shrek Academy investigators, it is likely a 30,000-year-old Catastrophic Snow Demon." "Catastrophic Snow Demon?" The name sounded unfamiliar, and Dugu Lin and Pan Tao searched their minds but couldn''t find the corresponding soul beast. Old Li exined, "A Catastrophic Snow Demon is a mutated Titan Snow Demon, naturally prone to causing disasters. The Titan Snow Demon King, one of the three major titans of the Ultimate North, personally executes Catastrophic Snow Demons to maintain peace, making them extremely rare. Therefore, the academy''s soul beast theory courses do not cover Catastrophic Snow Demons. Ling Bai, you can either capture or kill the 30,000-year-old Catastrophic Snow Demon, as long as it no longer destroys the vigers'' fields." "Alright." Ling Bai nodded slightly. "What kind of fate do you have..." Dugu Lin patted his shoulder, sighing, "The Dark Radiant Forest, the Ultimate North, one more dangerous than the other. Your luck is really bad!" "I don''t see it that way." Ling Bai looked northward, his smile deep and meaningful. "And of treasures and outstanding people, the Ultimate North is truly a... wonderful ce." At the same time, in the first-year dormitory of the Outer Courtyard. "I''m off, Yu Hao. See you when school starts!" Wang Dong mmed the door, leaving Huo Yuhao alone in the dormitory. "Big Brother Tiang Meng, wake up!" Huo Yuhao frantically called out to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his spiritual sea. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rubbed his eyes and mumbled, "What''s wrong, Little Yu Hao? You seem so anxious." "I am anxious!" Huo Yuhao said irritably, "The break is for the Outer Courtyard upgrade exam, and failure means immediate expulsion from the Soul Master Department. The minimum requirement for the upgrade exam is level twenty soul power. Despite my hard work day and night, I''m only at level seventeen, and that''s only because Senior Brother won a Xuan Water Pill from Xu Sanshi in the soul duel arena to boost my foundation!" Losing certain opportunities, Huo Yuhao''s strength had dropped significantly. He was visibly anxious, though the Soul Conductor Department held high hopes for him. However, Shrek was the top soul master academy on the continent, and he didn''t want to give up on the excellent educational resources of the Soul Master Department. "It''s not a big deal." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rolled over, yawning, "When you''re on break, I''ll take you to the Ultimate North. By then, level twenty soul power, a second ice-type soul power, a 100,000- year-old soul ring, and a 100,000-year-old soul bone will all be taken care of! You''ll soar to new heights!" "What??" Such a grand promise left Huo Yuhao speechless. "Trust me, as the first 1,000,000-year-old soul beast on the continent, an unprecedented intelligent soul ring, your future is the vast universe!" "I love you, Big Brother Tiang Meng! I''ll pack my things and head to the Ultimate North right away!" "Calm down, buy some essentials for the journey first..." ... After receiving his monitoring task, Ling Bai headed to the Outer Courtyard girls'' dormitory. His stunningly handsome face, which always drew attention, once again caused several girls to bump into poles as they passed by. Despite the headaches, they couldn''t tear their eyes away from him. If not for the countless failures they had experienced over the past few months, they would have already rushed over to offer themselves. Unfortunately, this Inner Courtyard disciple, who was breathtakingly handsome, only gave special treatment to one and a half girls in the Outer Courtyard. Ning Tian, the young lord of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Wu Feng (half). The two slowly walked out. Ning Tian''s innate noble aura made the girls feel inferior and scatter, while Wu Feng pouted, instantly turning into a jealous girl, saying acidly, "Oh, Master Ling, your romantic luck is really great. I wonder how many beauties you''ve already seduced?" "Thwack!" "Ouch!" A hand struck Wu Feng''s head, just enough to stun her without causing harm. Ling Bai kept a straight face, exuding righteousness, "Stop spreading rumors. Focus on whether you can pass the upgrade exam." Wu Feng rubbed the bump on her head, grimacing, "The upgrade exam is nothing. Don''t change the subject. I heard from Ning Tian that you''re living the high life in the Inner Courtyard, with a bunch of beautiful seniors blocking your way every day." "Indeed, they block me every day in the soul duel arena." Ling Bai specifically mentioned Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao, Dugu Lin, and others. "Alright, Little Feng." Ning Tian poked Wu Feng, then turned to Ling Bai, saying, "Brother Bai, I''ve already hired a carriage. We can leave anytime." "Let''s go home together."

"Patriarch Ning, it''s been a while." "Patriarch Wang, all is well." "Prince Yong... Dean Liu..." Ning Fengya, apanied by Ling Bai, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng, the three future pirs of the sect, walked into the Soul Heaven Auction House with ease. She greeted the sect leaders, deans, and nobles continuously, while Shadow Dragon Douluo Xie Qin remained hidden in the shadows, ensuring their safety. The registration desk was about fifty meters from the entrance. Many eminent figures who were usually unapproachable were now queuing up,pleting the registration and other tedious procedures to receive their number tes. When the four of them arrived, a beautiful young woman in a red long dress stepped forward to wee them. A dead camel is still bigger than a horse. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower would never stoop to queueing. Ning Fengya handed over a nine-colored invitation card embossed with the royal emblem. The young woman''s red lips parted slightly as she recognized it, and her back straightened even more, maintaining a humble yet elegant demeanor as she led them to the VIP channel. People around them cast curious, angry, and inquisitive nces, but all these looks vanished the moment they saw Ning Fengya''s breathtaking beauty. One second ago, I want to see which bigwig is using the special channel! The next second, it''s the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, so there''s no problem. "Haha, did you see how quickly those people''s faces changed?" Wu Feng tried to suppress hisughter and whispered to Ling Bai and Ning Tian. Ning Tian smiled lightly, "Today is the annual auction g of the Soul Heaven Auction House. There are ten items up for auction, all of which are treasures. Countless people are vying to get in. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower has a nickname in the continent''s auction houses: the Sweeper. Whenever they participate, they always buy in bulk, sparing no expense, so they are always favored and courted by auction houses. The Heavenly Soul Empire invited us to ensure that the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower can support the g. Otherwise, if the items fail to sell, it would be a p in the face." Ling Bai nodded inwardly. He was well aware of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s background. His ancestors had quickly amassed wealth through their Spirit Soul talent in treasure hunting. By Ning Fengya''s generation, her twin sister and deputy leader, Ning Fengyu, was sent with a group of direct disciples to the Sun Moon Empire to conduct illegal Rare Metal trade under a hidden identity, which proved to be highly profitable. In addition, Ning Fengya invested widely, making money from money. On the Douluo Continent, the only entity that could rival the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower in terms of wealth was the Mingde Hall, which led in Soul Conductor Technology. Every force that needed Golden Soul Coins in the three kingdoms hoped for the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s patronage. The four of them passed through an ancient wooden door, and the scene changed abruptly. The surroundings were bathed in golden light, with the walls adorned in gold and the floor covered in luxurious pr white jade. Every ten meters, a pair of columns carved with exquisite patterns stood. The lighting was a soft yellow, and under the golden walls, the three-dimensional golden world was dazzling. The red-dressed young woman opened the exclusive 888 VIP room for the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and bowed, "Please enter, honored guests." The Soul Heaven Royal Family had clearly put in effort; the 888 room was entirely decorated with the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s most revered nine-colored spirit jade, exuding a luxurious and elegant style that was both noble and warm. In fact, it wasn''t just the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower; the main sect, Shrek Academy, the Soul Spirit Royal Family, the Star Luo Royal Family, and even the thousand-year-old reclusive Heavenly Soul Sect, all had their own VIP rooms reserved by the Soul Heaven Royal Family. Ling Bai sank into a sofa made of ten-thousand-year-old blue water goose down. Opposite him was a soul conductor screen broadcasting the auction stage live. Wu Feng let out a long,fortable sigh, and Ling Bai nced at her with a helpless look before saying, "Could you please introduce the items up for auction this year?" The young woman replied respectfully, "Certainly, honored guest. The Soul Heaven Auction House divides its auctions into six levels: white, yellow, purple, ck, red, and gold. The annual auction g is the second-highest level, just below the ten- year golden g. This g will feature ten precious treasures, including high-level soul conductors, Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bones, Rare Metals, and live ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, which will certainly meet the needs of our honored guests." Ning Fengya had already closed her eyes to rest, and Ning Tian whispered, "Mom, are you tired?" "I''m just not interested in this g. The next Soul Master Tournament will be held in the Star Luo Empire, and the items from the Starlight Auction House will truly be treasures. If you like something, bid on it. Just buy a few to fill the Heavenly Warehouse." Ning Fengya''s bored voice directly entered Ning Tian''s ears through a secret technique called ''transmitting sound into the ear,'' which was simple yet effective. "Wee to the Soul Heaven Auction House. The auction is about to begin. Please take your seats, honored guests." At that moment, a beautiful and melodious female voice echoed from all directions, and the auction hall fell silent. Through the soul conductor screen, one could see the surrounding wall lights gradually dimming while the stage lights gradually brightened. A woman in a red long dress walked onto the stage from one side of the auction hall. She was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a dignified and beautiful appearance and a faint smile on her face. Her well-fitted dress perfectly outlined her mature figure, and she walked with a graceful gait. "Good evening, honored guests. I am Xina, the red-level auctioneer of the Soul Heaven Auction House. I will be hosting today''s annual g." Xina bowed to the audience, earning a round of apuse, and said, "The auction will now begin. Please have the staff present the first item." Two young women in red dresses pushed a small cart onto the stage, covered with a cloth. They stopped the cart in the center and lifted the cloth to reveal a silver ne with a metal pendant shaped like a bottle, about the size of an adult''s thumb. Xina walked to the cart with a soul conductor amplifier in hand and smiled, "Recharge Soul Conductor, also known as a bottle, is a familiar item to guests who are well-versed in soul conductors. The bottle at this g is not an ordinary one; it is a level-seven soul conductor." "Level-seven bottle?!" Ning Tian was slightly surprised, drawing questioning looks from Ling Bai and Wu Feng. She quickly exined in a low voice, "The bottle is the soul conductor with the highest material requirements and the mostplex manufacturing process. The difficulty of making a level- seven bottle isparable to that of a level-eight soul conductor, and its value is likely to exceed five million Golden Soul Coins. Brother Bai, the bottle can quickly replenish soul power. Although a level-seven bottle is quite advanced, with your strength, you can absorb it steadily without any problem. You will be participating in the Soul Master Tournament after school starts, and having it by your side means an extrayer of protection." "...Alright." Ling Bai nodded after a moment''s thought. It was meaningless to be stubborn like the obstinate donkeys of the Shrek Academy. His future cultivation path would be centered around his Spirit Soul, with soul conductors as a supplement. "The starting bid for the level-seven bottle is one million Golden Soul Coins, with a minimum bid increment of ten thousand Golden Soul Coins. The auction begins!" "A million and ten thousand Golden Soul Coins!" A deep voice came from the soul conductor screen, made by a guest in the hall. Immediately, someone raised their bid, "One million and two hundred thousand." The level-seven bottle had a wide audience, not limited to soul masters or soul engineers, so the bidding price steadily increased, just as Ning Tian had predicted, quickly surpassing five million Golden Soul Coins. After breaking the five million mark, the bidding suddenly paused. Bidders with insufficient resources hesitated; the first item exceeded their budget, and they would only be able to watch the subsequent treasures. "Five million Golden Soul Coins, once." Xina began the final three calls. "Six million." A unique nine-colored number appeared on the screen, and Xina''s eyes lit up instantly. Nine colors, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower! Big spender! "Bidder 888 offers six million Golden Soul Coins!" "888?" The special number made the guests pause for a second, then they all sighed bitterly. Those who had an interest in the level-seven bottle gave up immediately. Competing with the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower in terms of wealth was like taking too many fake drugs. "Six million, once; six million, twice; six million, thrice. Sold!" Xina''s hammer fell quickly. Auctioneers earn their ie from amission on the items sold, and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s generous bid of six million made her smile wider than an AK could suppress. Moreover, the opening price of the first item set the tone for the entire auction, and today was off to a great start. The etiquettedy pushed the second item onto the stage. From the shape of the cloth, it was clear that this item was small, almost fitting perfectly on the cart. Xina walked to the front of the stage, her face flushed, cleared her throat, and said, "The second item is a soul engineer''s most intimatepanion, even more so than a lover. I won''t keep you in suspense; let me reveal its true identity now." The moment the cloth was lifted, everyone was drawn to it, but the expected dazzling light did not appear. On the cart was an ordinary-looking item, about half a foot long and as thick as a finger. It narrowed from bottom to top, with a sharp tip and a handle about half an inch wide at the bottom. The overall appearance was ancient and dark, with faint patterns etched on its surface, emitting a dark and gloomy aura. "Tch..." Some bidders in the screen sighed in disappointment. This was a carving knife used by soul engineers to engrave core arrays, and they didn''t think a carving knife could bring much surprise. "Buy! It! At any cost!!" Ilex''s roar in the Spirit Sea startled the Death Prison Spider Emperor next door. Is the old man crazy, shouting so loudly? "Don''t worry, Elder Ilex." Ling Bai guessed the true identity of the carving knife. It was the 99th-ranked carving knife on the list, known as the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, or Life Gold. The Soul Devouring Carving Knife had been passed through numerous auctions, until Huo Yuhao bought it at the Starlight Auction House. After several purifications and enhancements, it transformed into the Life Guardian de. Who would have thought it had once ended up at the Soul Heaven Auction House?N?v(el)B\\jnn Since the opportunity presented itself, it couldn''t be missed! Xina continued her introduction, "On the Douluo Continent, the list of carving knives records the top one hundred carving knives, and more than two-thirds of them are in the Sun Moon Empire. This carving knife ranks 99th, and its capabilities should not ce it so low. This is mainly because it is a cursed carving knife, the Soul Devouring Carving Knife." The moment the words "Soul Devouring Carving Knife" were spoken, many people who had been eager to bid on a listed carving knife suddenly fell silent. This carving knife had a notorious reputation, said to be inhabited by the soul of a Sealed Douluo-level Evil Soul Master, and all thirty-seven of its owners had died tragic deaths. Soul engineers across the Douluo Continent were terrified of it. Ning Tian''s eyes also showed regret. Listed carving knives were extremely rare. The Heavenly Warehouse had two, ranked 88th and 66th. In Shrek Academy, only Xian Lin''er and Fan Yu had listed carving knives. She had wanted to buy another one to take home, but the Soul Devouring Carving Knife... Forget it, forget it! An Evil Soul Master is inauspicious! Stay away from it! "The Soul Devouring Carving Knife, starting bid is three hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins, with a minimum bid increment of ten thousand Golden Soul Coins. Guests may now begin bidding." Xina''s smile was perfect, but she was not at all excited. As an auctioneer for nearly ten years, she could tell from the audience''sck of enthusiasm that the Soul Devouring Carving Knife was likely to fail to sell. It was amon urrence for the Soul Devouring Carving Knife to fail to sell. The Soul Heaven Auction House had acquired it from the Soul Spirit Empire at a low price, hoping to sell it at the annual g for a small profit, even cing it as the second item to capitalize on the momentum of the level-seven bottle. However, the bidders were exceptionally shrewd and did not buy into the strategy, and her n was likely to fail. Xina quietly nced at the 888 VIP room, silently praying that the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, with its wealth, would save the Soul Heaven Royal Family''s face and rescue the annual auction g from failure, avoiding the embarrassment of the second item failing to sell. Time ticked by, and just as Xina was losing hope, the elegant nine-colored font finally appeared on the screen. "Five hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins." Xina was almost in tears. This was the first bid for the Soul Devouring Carving Knife in a hundred years! Five hundred thousand! The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower lived up to its reputation as a big spender... a great benefactor! Generous spending! Five hundred thousand for a cursed item! "Bang! Sold!" Xina was afraid that the big spender might change their mind, so she skipped the three calls and immediately hammered down, dering that the cursed knife belonged to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Did anyone else have any objections? No objections! It was impossible to outbid the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, and besides, it was a sinister item! "Not... what?" Seeing the Soul Devouring Carving Knife already in front of them, Ning Tian and Wu Feng were both shocked and confused. Ning Fengya opened her eyes with a smile. Five hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins was nothing to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, and the expressions of her daughter and Wu Feng were amusing. As for the Soul Devouring Carving Knife... When Ling Bai hunted his first soul ring and went into a frenzy, Ning Fengya had witnessed the power of the Death Prison Spider Emperor. An Evil Soul Master''s soul was no more than a midnight snack for the Death Prison Spider Emperor. If Ling Bai wanted it, he could have it. Pampering one''s own child was the right thing to do. Ning Tian watched Ling Bai hesitate several times, wanting to tell him about the terrifying nature of the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, but after much deliberation, she swallowed her words. The next seven items were two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bones, a Ten Thousand Year Bronze Unicorn, Rare Metal, a Grade 6 Preloaded Soul Conductor Shell, a Dragon Maiden, and a Grade 8 Melee Soul Conductor. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower chose a slightly better right arm soul bone and a Grade 6 Preloaded Soul Conductor Shell, ensuring they got their share while leaving some for others. Thest item was slowly pushed onto the stage from one side of the auction tform. Unlike the previous items, this time the cart wasrger, and the cloth covering it was a dazzling golden color. Everything at the Soul Heaven Auction House was rted to the soul ring colors, with gold being the most prestigious. Xina lifted the cloth with a smile, "The Thousand Charm Demon Beauty, a Grade 8 Peak Soul Conductor."

A roar like a muffled thunder echoed, and the shadow beneath Chen Hu suddenly began to fluctuate violently. A ck figure darted out, a pitch-ck dagger directly stabbing at Chen Hu''s back. The dagger was adorned with two yellow, two purple, and five ck soul rings! Shadow Dragon Douluo Xie Qin, 91st Level Soul Power, Guardian Douluo of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, Head of the Secret Guards! "Boom-" Chen Hu reacted just in time, twisting his body. The Shadow Dragon Dagger pierced the arm with the ck and White Magic Tiger Tattoo. The magic tiger seemed toe to life, its massive mouth mping down on the Shadow Dragon Dagger, preventing it from advancing any further. "Xie Qin, you''re courting death!" Chen Hu roared. The Shadow Dragon Douluo did not back down, his face contorted with anger. "The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower has a ten-thousand-year legacy. How can you dare to spout such nonsense here!" "Enough!" A magnificent Seven Treasures Crystal Tower appeared in the hall, its seven-colored radiance shining brilliantly, overshadowing the white jade hall. Ning Fengya pointed her finger, and the first to sixth soul rings simultaneously flickered, sending six types of enhancements into the Shadow Dragon Douluo''s body. The seven-ringed Seven Treasures Crystal Tower provided an 80% boost in six major attributes, causing the Shadow Dragon Douluo''s aura to surge. After a fierce sh with Chen Hu, they fell back to opposite sides. The Soul Douluos and Soul Sages of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower immediately stepped forward, theirbined soul power creating a formidable pressure. The two middle-aged men beside Chen Hu, who possessed the Great Head and Right Arm martial souls, quickly released their soul rings to counter the pressure. They were also perfect soul ring configurations, making them Soul Douluos. Chen Hu shook his sore arm. A 91st Level Soul Douluo challenging a 96th Level Soul Douluo- this was why the Main Body Sect wanted to subdue the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. With the full support of the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower, the Main Body Sect''s overall strength would double! "Lord Ning, we are discussing a matter of great importance to both sects. The actions of the Shadow Dragon Douluo are quite impolite. One day, our sect leader will personallye to demand an exnation, and it will not be pleasant for either side..." Chen Hu said with a sinister tone. "Is that so? You should ask the Main Body Douluo if he dares to set foot in Nine Treasures City," Ning Fengya replied calmly. Despite Chen Hu''s provocative actions, including his apprentice coveting Ning Tian and then himself, Ning Fengya, the leader of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, remainedposed, her beautiful eyes deep and unfathomable. Chen Hu said coldly, "A union between the two sects is inevitable. You, or your daughter, must give me an answer today." "I decided long ago to remain faithful to myte husband. My daughter also has someone she loves. Please leave, all of you." Ning Fengya said this, but her head tilted slightly to look at Ling Bai. They exchanged a quick nce, and from each other''s subtle expressions, they saw the same affirmation. With the situation as it was, some things could no longer be hidden. They might as well take a bigger bite. "The youngdy has someone she loves?" Chen Hu''s tiger eyes instantly locked onto Ning Tian. Wu Feng immediately stepped forward, baring her teeth like a female leopard to protect Ning Tian. Chen Hu paid no heed, pulling Chen Yu over andughing loudly. "How can those mediocre people outsidepare to my talented apprentice? You should understand that a Soul Master who breaks through to Spirit Emperor before the age of twenty is destined to be a Douluo. Choose your husband wisely, for this is the most important decision in an auxiliary Soul Master''s life!" As he spoke, six soul rings-yellow, purple, ck-rose from Chen Yu''s feet, and his aura became overwhelmingly powerful, disying his talent and might to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. "Hum-" A golden ripple appeared in the air, filled with a holy and scorching aura that instantly overwhelmed Chen Yu''s pressure. When they saw the source of the holy aura, the four members of the Main Body Sect''s pupils dted slightly. Yellow, purple, purple, ck, ck! Soul rings exceeding the limits of a Soul Master''s endurance! "I disagree with what the Tiger Arm Douluo said. Times have changed, and auxiliary Soul Masters can achieve their dreams with their own hands." The Tiger Arm Douluo clung on like a dog-skin ster, and the true intentions of the Main Body Sect were now clear to Ling Bai and Ning Fengya. Before fulfilling the Main Body Sect''s desires, they would exact some retribution. "Fifty-fourth level..." Ning Fengya sat casually on her throne, eyeing Ling Bai with interest. He was at peak 39th level when he left the sect, and in less than a year, he had advanced fifteen levels. Only Ning Fengya and Jianmu Douluo knew the full extent of Ling Bai''s capabilities, and she was as clear as a mirror in her heart. "With this talent, you must be the youngdy''s beloved," Chen Hu said with a sinister smile, then roared, "Chen Yu, teach him a lesson!" Chen Yu moved, his foot tapping the ground and transforming into a shadow as he lunged at Ling Bai. The movement seemed ethereal, and the Main Body Spirit Beast''s fists, held high, descended with a bronze hue enveloping them. When they struck the ground, there was no sound, only a wave of bronze energy sweeping toward Ling Bai. "Main Body Combat Techniques..." The two sects had long-standing animosity, and Ling Bai had devoted more effort to understanding the Main Body Sect and the Main Body Spirit Beast. The Main Body Sect was different from most Soul Masters. They did not rely entirely on soul skills but practiced variousbat techniques, fully utilizing the unique advantages of the Main Body Spirit Beast. It was said that the Main Body Combat Techniques, when mastered, could rival the Seven-Killing Sword Technique in swordsmanship and the Heavenly Sky Nine Ultimates in hammer techniques. "Boom-" The bronze energy wave struck the golden figure, splitting it in two and creating arge area of bronze light. With the Six-Winged Angel''s possession, Ling Bai soared into the air. "Tiger Arm Douluo, fists and feet have no eyes. They are elite disciples of both sects. If anything happens, who will take responsibility?" Ning Fengya narrowed her eyes, her tone dismissive. "It''s just a sparring match. Lord Ning, rest assured. Chen Yu knows his limits." Chen Hu smiled falsely, his eyes darting around, thinking several steps ahead. The oue of Chen Yu''s victory or defeat was not important; he just needed to use this to achieve his goal! "Bang!" The sword and palm shed, a low explosion resounding as golden and bronze light spread simultaneously. Ling Bai remained unmoved, while Chen Yu was sent flying back, retreating three steps and sinking his legs three inches into the white jade ground to barely stand steady. His upper body swayed, and his face flushed with blood. The Main Body Sect disciples held the Main Body Spirit Beast in the highest regard and looked down on all other martial souls. Being punished by the Six-Winged Angel left Chen Yu, who considered himself superior, feeling incredulous. After regaining his footing, Chen Yu hesitated not a moment and charged back at Ling Bai, his arms outstretched. All six of his soul rings lit up simultaneously. A bronze glow appeared behind Chen Yu, forming two massive hands. The bronze light was substantial, creating a heavy pressure that seemed to crush the sky and earth. The air crackled as if the space could not bear the pressure and might shatter. The Main Body Spirit Beast''s second awakening at the bronze level! The second awakening was a crucial feature of the Main Body Spirit Beast, with four levels: ck iron, bronze, silver, and gold. The bronze level second awakening increased the Main Body Spirit Beast''sbat power by 60%, equivalent to a five-ringed Seven Treasures Crystal Tower! In mid-air, the bronze giant hands behind Chen Yu glowed brightly. He made a gesture as if lifting the sky, and the two bronze hands grew to over ten meters in length and five meters in width. Before the hands reached Ling Bai, palm-shaped imprints appeared around his body. Inside him, the blood vessels of the Six-Winged Angel burned with fiery blood, glowing with numerous divine runes. An overwhelmingly scorching aura spread, the temperature soaring. A golden sun appeared in the sky, radiating brilliant golden light. Various mysterious me patterns were etched on the sun''s surface, slowly changing as if it had a life of its own. The fifth soul skill of the Six-Winged Angel, zing Sun Wheel! The first four soul skills of the Six-Winged Angel were all light-based, and the Burning Sun Fire Dragon was the only fire-based soul ring Ling Bai had absorbed, providing the most powerful soul skill to date! The zing Sun Wheel seemed to rece the sun, radiating light and heat to the world. The white jade walls of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, costing a fortune, turned red and dripped with scorching liquid! Chen Yu''s pupils dted. The zing Sun Wheel, resembling a sun, was evenrger and more powerful than the bronze giant hands after the second awakening. He gritted his teeth,n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om stacking his hands and lifting them to the sky! Main Body Combat Techniques-Heaven-Lifting Palm! "Aaaah-" How could a mere mortal stand against the sun? The moment the bronze giant hands touched the zing Sun Wheel, Chen Yu let out a horrifying scream. His hands smoked, turning from raw to cooked in the blink of an eye! The zing Sun Wheel exploded into zing fire, and Chen Yu fell into the ground, trapped in a sea of mes. Chen Hu and the two Soul Douluos wanted to save him, but the Shadow Dragon Douluo Xie Qin and Wu Yan had already blocked their path, repeatedly saying, "It''s just a sparring match, it''s fine, it''s fine. My little Bai knows his limits!" "Y-You... What do you want to do?" In the center of the sea of mes, Chen Yu clutched his cooked hands in pain, staring at the slowly approaching Six-Winged Angel with shock and anger. Ling Bai standing there was like a bottomless ck well, ready to swallow him whole. "Nothing, just an experiment." Ling Bai was only half a meter from Chen Yu, and he gently lifted Chen Yu''s hand with the east is the nost powerful martial soul in angelic holy sword, "The Main Body the world, but as I understand, the Main Body Spirit Beast has a fatal weakness-it is particrly easy to be crippled. For example, if I chop off your two ws, your martial soul will be crippled." "Y-You... I was wrong, I really was wrong. I won''tpete with you for a woman! Master, save me!!!" Chen Yu was terrified, crawling away in a panic. With the sea of mes surrounding him, he had nowhere to run, only to watch helplessly as Ling Bai''s figure grewrger. Ling Bai, seeing Chen Yu''s pitiful state, asked in confusion, "A bait thrown out knows nothing of its own identity. You don''t really think today is about helping you propose or the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, do you?" "Huh? Not really?" Chen Yu responded instinctively. Ling Bai suddenly understood, marveling, "The Tiger Arm Douluo is ruthless and capable of great things. He can easily deceive his own disciple to the point of death. You should spend the rest of your life thinking about it so you don''t make the same mistake in your next life." The sword de fell! Both hands flew off! Blood flowed like a river! The zing fire extinguished, revealing their states: Chen Yu''s hands were severed, and he was unconscious. Chen Hu seemed to have gone mad with anger, pushing past the Shadow Dragon Douluo to charge at Ling Bai! "Little brat, you''re courting death!" "Tiger Arm, I think you''re the one courting death!" A figure enveloped in emerald light suddenly appeared, blocking in front of Ling Bai. "Jianmu Douluo!" Chen Hu''s eyes lit up. The first nt-type Soul Master on the continent, a 98th Level Super Douluo, with the title Jianmu-Zhou Jiren! "You finally show yourself!" Chen Hu roared, his arms transforming into a ck and white magic tiger, roaring as they delivered a simple, direct punch at Jianmu Douluo! "Boom-" The 96th Level and 98th Level Super Douluos shed head-on, the explosive shockwave forcing even the Soul Douluos to struggle to hold their ground. The Shadow Dragon Douluo protected the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower members, while the two Main Body Sect Soul Douluos pulled back Chen Yu and barely held their ground with the bronze-level second awakening. "Tiger Arm, take your Main Body Sect people and get out of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower!" The shockwave dissipated, and the crumpled Chen Hu was thrown out of the meeting hall by Jianmu Douluo like a piece of trash. The two Main Body Sect Soul Douluos hurriedly followed, leaving a threat, "Kid, you dare to cripple a Main Body Sect disciple. We''ll see how this ys out!" "The Tiger Arm Douluo Chen Hu, rough on the outside but meticulous on the inside. The Main Body Sect has many talented individuals..." The emerald figure sighed, then said to Ling Bai, "Little Bai,e with me. I have something to ask you." "Yes, Master." As soon as the four members of the Main Body Sect left Nine Treasures City, Chen Hu''s expression changed from gloomy to sunny, even with a hint of a smile. He sighed, "The sect leader was right. Jianmu Douluo is indeed still alive. This trip was not in vain!" "Elder, what do you mean?" The two Soul Douluos, Great Head and Right Arm, scratched their heads. "We didn''te to forcibly annex the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, and we aplished nothing. How is this trip not in vain?" Chen Hu pped each of them, exasperated. "I''m a Tiger Arm, not a Tiger Dick. Do you think I can annex the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower with a few of you? The sect leader''s orders had two parts: first, to use the marriage proposal to gauge the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s resistance, and second, to find out if Jianmu Douluo is still alive and how long he might live." The two Soul Douluos scratched their heads, even more puzzled. They argued, "Is it really necessary to go to such lengths for just an auxiliary sect? We have many powerful individuals in the Main Body Sect. If the sect leader leads a full-scale attack, we can take them down in three days!" "You''re right," Chen Hu nodded, then changed his tone, "But what if the sect leader can''t attack the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower? How much would the rest of us in the Main Body Sect have to pay to subdue a fully supported and raging Jianmu Douluo with the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower?" "Ah, this..." The two Soul Douluos licked their lips. With the support of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, Jianmu Douluo was no less than a 99th Level Ultimate Douluo. nt-type Soul Masters were notoriously difficult to deal with, and that old monster could easily take on ten at once. If Chen Hu''s words were true, and the Main Body Douluo couldn''te due to poisoning, whether the Main Body Sect could annex the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was uncertain. "Back then, the sect leader severely injured Jianmu Douluo, leaving him with irreversible damage. But Jianmu Douluo is not an easy opponent; he also left a ''seed'' inside the sect leader''s body. As long as Jianmu Douluo lives, the sect leader dares not personallye to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. If he triggers the seed hidden in the sect leader''s blood, even a gold-level Main Body Spirit Beast would be obliterated..." "I see..." The two were convinced, finally understanding why Chen Hu had repeatedly provoked the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. He was deliberately pushing the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower to the brink to force Jianmu Douluo to reveal his true strength. "No wonder you''re the chief elder..." "Shut up! Hu Xing and He Qi, I''ll give you a few pointers because you''re my trusted subordinates." Chen Hu snorted, "After that strike, I realized Jianmu Douluo is weak both inside and out. He will die within ten years. Knowing this, when the sect leaderes with overwhelming force to subdue the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and make the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower a subordinate to the Main Body Spirit Beast, the Main Body Sect will surpass Shrek and Mingde Hall to be the top force on the Douluo continent! Compared to the sect''s dominance, women are just fleeting pleasures; there will be plenty of them! Chen Yu is a fool. If he can''t win, he should admit defeat loudly. Regardless of the oue, I would find an excuse to continue being unreasonable. As long as the two sects don''t completely fall out, Jianmu Douluo won''t lose face over a junior. Ning Fengya and the Six-Winged Angel must have already figured it out. Today, either Jianmu Douluo would show up, or I would cause chaos in the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Given Jianmu''s temperament, he would never ept thetter. That''s why the little brat dared to strike Chen Yu to the death, confident I couldn''t do anything about it. Prepare a generous gift and go to the Star Luo Empire to find the Medicine Immortal Douluo to save this fool. I''ve pretended to be a fool all my life, but how did I end up with a real fool as a disciple! Although Chen Yu suffered greatly, even if his hands are reattached, he will find it difficult to break through to the Douluo level and will be crippled for life. But overall, the trip was sessful, and the sacrifice was worth it. The Soul Master Tournament is about to begin. After finding the Medicine Immortal Douluo, stay in Star Luo City with Chen Yu to recover and observe if any Main Body Spirit Beasts outside the sect have appeared in the academies." "Understood!"

Jianmu Douluo led Ling Bai into the Secret Chamber, the emerald glow that covered his entire body slowly dissipating, revealing the true face of this Ny-Eighth Rank Sealed Douluo, the Pir of Stability of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. He was very old, old to the bone. As the saying goes, the older a person is, the more empty they be. Jianmu Douluo was so old that it seemed as if the years had gnawed away all his flesh and blood. Even his loose white robe couldn''t hide his paper-thin frame. "Teacher..." A trace of pain flickered in Ling Bai''s eyes as he hurriedly stepped forward to support Jianmu Douluo, a golden aura wrapping around Jianmu Douluo''s pulse. Jianmu Douluo''s vitality had diminished even morepared to a year ago when Ling Bai left the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. This was the hidden injury left by the battle with Main Body Douluo Poison Unkible, simr to the fate of Dragon God Douluo Muen, incurable and only waiting for death. "It''s fine, it''s fine." Jianmu Douluo''s weathered face pulled into a slight smile, and he tightly held Ling Bai''s hand as they walked to the sandalwood table. The two sat facing each other, ayer of emerald green light enveloping the Secret Chamber to prevent others from eavesdropping. Then, Jianmu Douluo spoke, "Fifty-fourth level, advancing fifteen Soul Power levels in a year... Did you use the ultimate talent of the Death Prison Spider Emperor?" "Yes." In front of Jianmu Douluo, Ling Bai had nothing to hide. "How many times?" "Twice," Ling Bai admitted. "Both times were against soul beasts. The first time was during the Shrek Academy Freshman Evaluation Task, where I was forced to fight Medusa, the Ten- Thousand-Year Snake Queen, and Yao Luo, the Fifty-Thousand-Year Death God''s Bloodline simultaneously. I had to use the Soul-Devouring Snake Swarm to boost mybat power. The second time was in the Star Dou Great Forest when I faced a life-threatening situation. There happened to be a Soul Ring left from a soul beast n''s civil war nearby, so I got lucky." "Good." Jianmu Douluo nodded slightly. For most soul masters, the killing of a thousand soul beasts was less heinous than the murder of a single human. He was a man of broad horizons and not a rigid thinker. As long as Ling Bai did not harm innocent civilians, he would always stand firmly by Ling Bai''s side. "You''ve always had your own mind, my child," Jianmu Douluo reminisced. "I was initially reluctant to let you enter Shrek Academy because I feared that the Dragon God and Taotie might uncover the secret of the Death Prison Spider Emperor. But my ability to refine the Ming Emperor Pill had reached its limit, and I could no longer help you control the evil power of the Death Prison Spider Emperor. I thought the Golden Light Tree at the center of Sea God Ind might be effective for you. After much deliberation, I decided to let you go. If the evil soul beast were discovered, I would have gone to Shrek Academy with a weathered face to bring you back, at least ensuring your safety..." "I am ashamed to have caused you so much trouble, teacher." Ling Bai stood up and bowed deeply. Jianmu Douluo had spared no effort for him, nearly risking his life to refine the Ming Emperor Pill, which used the inner core of a ten-thousand- year-old light soul beast as the main ingredient. The bond between teacher and student did not mean that the student should take the teacher''s efforts for granted. Ling Bai always felt deep gratitude and a sense of guilt towards Jianmu Douluo. "Sit down, there''s no need for such formalities between us." Jianmu Douluo, like an ordinary kind old man, patted Ling Bai''s hand and continued, "This time, I feel that the evil aura around you doesn''t seem to leak out as it used to. Have you found a way to control the Death Prison Spider Emperor?" "Yes, teacher." After a moment''s hesitation, Ling Bai allowed the Death Prison Spider Emperor to possess him, and tworge Soul Rings, one gray and one ck, emitted a deep and heavy aura. "With this special gray Soul Ring, the Death Prison Spider Emperor has be much more stable. By continuously absorbing the light energy from the Golden Light Tree, I can now stably use the Death Prison Spider Emperor inbat without being influenced by the evil power. Topletely control the Death Prison Spider Emperor, I still need two rare Heavenly Treasures." Jianmu Douluo gently stroked the gray Soul Ring, which was actually x, and sighed, "A golden scale is not just a fish; it bes a dragon when it meets the wind and clouds. Indeed, your decision to leave the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was right. Fortunately, I didn''t make a big mistake by trying to stop youst year. Tell me, what do you need? I and Fengya will use the full strength of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower to help you find it. The three empires of the original Douluo Continent are under our control, and Fengyu can help with the Sun Moon Empire." The Death Prison Spider Emperor was a major concern for everyone. Solving this issue meant that Ling Bai would be a dual-god-level soul master without any worries, which would be a good thing for Ling Bai, Jianmu Douluo, and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. "Before reaching the Seventh Ring Soul Saint, absorb the ultimate light and ultimate fire from a ten-thousand-year-old Heavenly Treasure, or a soul beast." "This..." Jianmu Douluo frowned, "A ten-thousand-year-old ultimate attribute, even the Heavenly Treasury doesn''t have such treasures. In my memory, the only one rted to this on the Douluo Continent is the Golden Light Tree at Shrek Academy." Mentioning the Golden Light Tree at Sea God Pavilion, even someone of Jianmu Douluo''s status started to grind his teeth, saying helplessly, "The old guys at Shrek Academy treat the Golden Light Tree like their life. Absorbing ten-thousand-year-old Soul Power would surely damage its foundation. It would be more practical to take their lives directly." Ling Bai agreed. That''s why he didn''t dare to tamper with the Golden Light Tree. If it were discovered, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion would likely strip him alive personally. The ultimate fire was easy to solve; the zing Apricot Delicacy wouldn''t run away from the Ice and Fire Dual-Eyed Spring. But what about the ultimate light? For a moment, he was at a loss. Worry crept onto Ling Bai''s face. When x mentioned the solution a year ago, he wasn''t in a hurry. After all, there was a significant gap between level forty and level seventy. But time flew by, and his Soul Power had surged to level fifty-four. With normal cultivation, he would likely break through to Soul Saint in three to four years. Hmm, is there a possibility... To find the Imperial Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the Star Dou Great Forest and discuss it? Ling Bai fell into deep thought. The old fellow Red King seemed to be neglecting his duties... Perhaps... Maybe... Eighty percent... Feasible! "Young man, don''t always be so deep in thought and frowning. Tell me something cheerful." Jianmu Douluo coughed, and Ling Bai suddenly saw a familiar look in those cloudy eyes. The mostmon expression of the outer courtyard girls, gossip! "That... How are you and Xiaotian getting along?" || || Ling Bai leaned back, looking at the old man as if he had a problem. The old man looked up at the sky, but his ears honestly perked up. "Pretty... pretty well?" Ling Bai answered with a squint, mainly because they were still young. Discussing marriage at twelve was too early. Ning Tian usually ran between the soul master and soul engineer departments, and Ling Bai''s inner courtyard life was also very busy. Their daily interaction was limited to a mere twenty minutes of dinner, with Wu Feng always tagging along. It was hard to develop any real feelings, but he got along well with the older sisters in the inner courtyard. "Hahaha!" Jianmu Douluo burst intoughter at his disciple''s rare disy of unease. After a long while, heposed himself and said seriously, "I''m not worried about your marriage. You''re not the type tock femalepanions. But Fengya is quite concerned. You''re always smart and quick-witted; you can''t hide anything from her..." Jianmu Douluo paused slightly and continued, "Xiaobai, if Fengya ever goes too far, I hope you won''t hold a grudge. Her greatest wish is to lead the sect to the glory of the second-rgest sect in the world from ten thousand years ago. All her hopes rest on you, and the more she values you, the more anxious she bes, which might lead her to do some improper things..." "I understand, Aunt Ya also understands." Ling Bai lowered his eyes, his longshes casting a shadow on his eyelids. Ning Fengya was apetent head of the sect, always prioritizing the overall interests of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Ling Bai couldn''t deny that she had treated him like her own child for years, giving him whatever he needed without hesitation. There''s no such thing as a free lunch, and Ling Bai should ept the price behind it. "Good, I''m relieved to hear that." Ling Bai understood the art of leaving things unsaid, and Jianmu Douluo clearly caught the underlying meaning, saying softly, "Fengya is a rare talent, not inferior to any generation of sect leaders in the history of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Unfortunately, no one is perfect; she often forgets that the key to human interaction is sincerity. Sincerity is the most important." "Yes, disciple... teacher?" Ling Bai suddenly noticed that Jianmu Douluo''s smile was gone, and his aged eyes had be as sharp as an eagle''s. "After a long journey, go back and rest." Jianmu Douluo dispelled the emerald green light. Ling Bai looked at him deeply and bowed before leaving. Sensing Ling Bai''s departure, Jianmu Douluo gazed out the door. His eye sockets were deep, almost like dark abysses, making it hard to see his eyes. Only by looking closely could one see the faint glimmer hidden deep within. "Old friend, when did you start eavesdropping?" "Hahaha, can''t fool you, Jiren..." Laughter rose, and a hunched figure slowly entered the Secret Chamber. The two old men faced each other, one with a bent spine almost at a ny-degree angle, the other with a hollowed-out body like a skeleton. They looked like two old houses, with all their beams and pirs rotten. Who would have thought that these two were the Dragon God Douluo Muen and Jianmu Douluo Jiren, who had once dominated the continent. "It''s been a hundred years since west met, when we were in our prime, battling the Main Body Sect''s twin titans Poison Must Die and Poison Unkible. Looking back, it feels like it was just yesterday!" Seeing his old friend after many years, Jianmu Douluo was filled with emotion. Muen sat in the seat Ling Bai had just vacated, his fingers caressing the sandalwood grain, and said, "We carried an era, but now we are struggling against time. Jiren, do you regret it? If not for the injury from the battle with Poison Unkible, your achievements would have far exceeded the Ny-Eighth Rank." "Regret?" Jianmu Douluo scoffed, "I, Jiren, have always walked the straight and narrow! The Main Body Sect''s chaos on the continent and the beast tide caused countless innocent deaths! What did the civilians of the Douluo Continent and the soul masters of the three empires do to deserve this? Today, Chen Hu actually dared toe and test me. Fine, I promise not to hold back. Before I die, I''ll go to the Main Body Sect''s stronghold and take down that old poison, Poison Unkible, first. Then I''ll self-detonate to give them a grand fireworks show, dragging the Main Body Sect''s foundation to my grave!" "Your fiery temper hasn''t changed a bit!" Muen chuckled. Although he was a nt soul master, Jianmu Douluo Jiren had no gentle demeanor. He was like a bomb in his youth, ready to explode at the slightest provocation, and now he was getting even more erratic with age. "You''re too lenient!" With Ling Bai not around, Jianmu Douluo revealed his true nature, pointing and saying, "I don''t have much time left, and neither do you. The Sun Moon Empire is arrogant? The Mingde Hall is arrogant? If I were you, I''d raid the Sun Moon Empire''s royal treasury for a pile of Grade Nine Pre- Loaded Soul Cannon Shells before I die. Find support and food soul masters to enhance my attack and Soul Power, and then run to the Mingde Hall to take out seven or eight Ninth Rank soul masters in a final explosion!" "What??" Muen''s jaw nearly dropped, and he even forgot to wipe off Jianmu Douluo''s spittle. You blowing up the Main Body Sect and tricking him into blowing up the Mingde Hall, only this old man could think of such things! "You''re really ruthless!" Muenughed and cried, genuinely giving Jianmu Douluo a thumbs up, admiring him for the first time in his life. "A life of pleasure, a death of mediocrity is not what I want. Old friend, let''s set off a grand fireworks show for the continent together!" "No, you have your way of dying, and I have mine." Muen shook his head with a smile. nt soul masters had long lifespans. As a severely injured body, he had less time left than Jianmu Douluo and had already decided to merge with the Golden Light Tree, protecting Shrek Academy with his soul forever. Jianmu Douluo regretfully said, "Alright, I can''t force you to self-detonate. Speaking of which, we haven''t seen each other for a hundred years. Did youe just to chat, or is there something important?" "Of course there is." Muen''s smile faded, and his tone grew serious, "Jiren, I''m here for your disciple, Ling Bai." Jianmu Douluo''s eyes narrowed, and his aura swirled, "Did Xiaobai offend Shrek Academy, and the Sea God Pavilion''s head came to demand justice?" "No, no, no..." Muen quickly denied it, and Jianmu Douluo heard the cloudy, aged voice sigh, "Ling Bai is a young hero, destined for greatness. Hepleted the first Red-level Freshman Evaluation Task in the inner courtyard in ten thousand years. Xuanzi, Shaozhe, and Lao Li have repeatedly told me that we must not let him leave Shrek Academy. "I could juste and ask for him, but to save face, I won''t touch Yanzhao. As for Taotie Douluo Xuanzi and Minggui Douluo Li Yongnian, they can''t escape a beating." "I''ve warned them not to have any more ideas about Ling Bai. Rest easy," Muen said. "But I have a small question. I investigated Ling Bai''s records. He entered at level forty-one, and just now, when he fought a Main Body Sect Soul Emperor, he was already at level fifty-four. Even with the Golden Light Tree, which helps the Six-Winged Angel advance more efficiently, his cultivation progress seems too fast. That''s why I didn''t dare to send him on a mission to monitor Evil Soul Masters. I''m afraid he might use the Six-Winged Angel''s abilities to kill Evil Soul Masters, increasing his cultivation but not his mental state, or that something unfortunate might happen to him, causing a rift in the thousand-year friendship between the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and Shrek Academy. More importantly, the Angel God Position was shattered ten thousand years ago. The Divine Realm no longer has an Angel God, and the human world no longer has a Six-Winged Angel, only a degenerated Holy Angel. So, where did hee from? How did he get here? That Holy Angel Sword also doesn''t seem ordinary. What''s going on here? Old friend, please enlighten me..."

Most of the time, his eyes seemed to be shrouded in a mist,cking luster. But at this moment, the mist had dissipated, and his eyes glowed with a zing golden-red, inspiring awe. Opposite him, Jianmu Douluo Zhou Jiren also reined in his smile, his expression as cold as a frost-covered mirror. The tension between the two top-tier Douluos made the air in the room heavy. "Jiren, one cannot be deaf and blind to run a household, but there are some things I simply cannot ignore. I need an answer from you." For a full ten seconds, the coldness on Jianmu Douluo''s face gradually faded, until his expression was nk. He looked at Muen and spoke slowly: "Xiao Bai... was an abandoned infant from Jialing City. Eleven years ago, Fengya and Shadow Dragon went to pay respects to Sword and Bone Douluo, who had sacrificed his life for the continent''s peace. They coincidentally found him, who was less than a year old." "Jialing City..." The tense atmosphere eased, and Muen realized the significance. Jialing City, also known as Jialing Pass, was the site of the ancient battle between the two gods and the ce where the Angel God Position shattered. He vaguely understood why Ling Bai could possess the Six- Winged Angel. "Before Xiao Bai''s soul awakened at age six, no one at the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower dared to think he could be the sessor to the Six-Winged Angel. But the truth was undeniable. At that time, Fengya helped Xiao Bai awaken his soul, and immediately told me about the return of the Six-Winged Angel. After much discussion and spection, we concluded that Xiao Bai''s awakening was likely due to the idental absorption of the Angel God''s power scattered at Jialing Pass. That Holy Angel Sword is indeed no ordinary artifact; it must be a divine relic of the Angel God, though it has weakened without the divine position''s blessing..." Jianmu Douluo knew what Muen was worried about. Ling Bai''s cultivation progressed too quickly, and he was a Six-Winged Angel, a being that theoretically should not exist on Douluo Continent. Muen feared that Ling Bai might be the reincarnation of the Angel God! In truth, Jianmu Douluo was well aware that the idea of the Angel God''s reincarnation was pure nonsense, because Ling Bai had a second soul, the Death Prison Spider Emperor! He had told Muen the truth, but he had hidden a part of it. Ling Bai had not only absorbed the shattered Angel God Position but also the power of the fallen Ro God! "Everything makes sense now..." Muen nodded slightly. It seemed that Ling Bai was an unprecedentedly lucky child, a blessing from the heavens. "Old friend, don''t me me. To protect Shrek Academy, I must be cautious." Muen said apologetically. "I understand..." Jianmu Douluo narrowed his eyes, his tone drawn out: "Muen, now that you know the absolute secret of our sect, you should pay a price. And entering the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower isn''t free." Muen blinked. A price? You''re openly extorting me, right? "What do you want?" Seeing Muen ept his fate, Jianmu Douluo revealed his true intentions with a smirk: "Xiao Bai praised the Golden Tree of Shrek. Give me some of its Light Energy." "How much?" "Not much, just ten thousand years." "Ten thousand years?" Muen''s eyes almost popped out of his head, and his back straightened in anger. He eximed: "You old coot, you''re getting greedier with age. No tree, but I''ll give you a fight!" With that, Muen turned to leave, but Jianmu Douluo quickly caught up and pulled him back, trying to calm and persuade him: "Don''t get angry, it''s bad for your health. Think about it. Although Xiao Bai has no substantial connection to the Six-Winged Angel of the Soul Temple, he owes a favor to thest Angel God. So, isn''t Shrek Academy in a bit of an awkward position?" "Hmm..." Muen pondered. "If you give me some treasures to eliminate unnecessary misunderstandings, and with our close rtionship, a hundred years from now, if Shrek encounters any difficulties, Xiao Bai will help you out for the sake of our friendship!" "A hundred years is a long time. It sounds like you''re trying to get something for nothing." Muen rubbed his chin suspiciously. "How could that be!" Jianmu Douluo, eager to persuade Muen, almost swore an oath. "He who receives help is bound by gratitude. It''s an eternal truth! Isn''t that why you set up the treasure fair to offer credit?" "I''ll think about it when I get back." Muen did not immediately agree. The Golden Tree was too important, and he could not make a decision alone. At the very least, he needed to seek the approval of the majority of the Sea God Pavilion elders. "Alright." Jianmu Douluo did not push too hard. He only hoped to guide Muen, leaving the final decision to Muen himself. "We''ve finished the important matters. Let''s chat a bit more." Muen said, "I''m curious. The Six-Winged Angel is a gathering of sacred, light, and fire attributes, which are vastly different from your Jianmu Holy Tree''s abilities. Jiren, what made you take Ling Bai as your direct disciple?" Hearing this, Jianmu Douluo''s aged face showed a hint of reminiscence: "That year, Fengya brought him back after hunting his first and second soul rings. He asked me a question." "What question?" "Can''t say, can''t say..." Countless scenes shed before Jianmu Douluo''s eyes, like an old film or forgotten times. "Senior Jianmu, did Aunt Fengya tell you about me?" "Yes, ultimate death, blood contact madness, soul blood consumption-truly the number one evil soul. Even the blood-red puppet I once saw cannotpare to your Death Prison Spider Emperor." "Senior, the Death Prison Spider Emperor is extremely dangerous. The Six-Winged Angel can''t suppress it, and it will be a threat to both me and the continent in the future. Do you have any way to remove it?" "You''re thinking too much. A soul is deeply intertwined with a person and is hard to separate." "Then please cut it out with a knife." Returning to the present, Jianmu Douluo couldn''t help but smile. He said, "Muen, from that day on, I knew this child''s future was bound to be limitless." "With him, your Nine Treasures Crystal Tower will flourish for three hundred years!" Muenughed and stood up, a hint of envy and sigh hidden in his smile. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had a sessor, but Shrek Academy was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. The Tuantie Douluo Xuan''s soul had a defect, Mingfeng Douluo Yan Shaogang had a narrow perspective, and the others were either too old or too young to be of much use. Muen could only hold on for two or three more years before passing away, and he still hadn''t found the path for Shrek. "Farewell, old friend." His body turned into golden specks and dissipated. At Muen''s level, he had long epted life and death, and the words of farewell were as light as a feather, like saying he was going to have breakfast. The final meeting between the two top-tier Douluos ended. Jianmu Douluo watched Muen leave, and after a long while, he sighed, saying: "Old friends are like fallen leaves in the wind..." Meanwhile, in the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower garden. Ning Fengya and Ning Tian walked slowly, their slender shadows trailing behind them. On both sides were the nine-colored jade stones purchased at great cost by the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. The golden apricots, with a history of ten thousand years, reached out from the nine-colored eaves, and the autumn scenery spilled onto the ground. The golden apricots, the colorful walls, and the clear, blue autumn sky made the garden bright and vibrant. "...In short, I have be a disciple of the Soul Conductor Department Dean, War God Douluo Xian Lin''er, and I have chosen to cultivate both as a soul master and a soul conductor. Every day at Shrek Academy is very fulfilling." Ning Tian, half a step behind Ning Fengya, recounted her year at the academy while ncing sideways at her mother. Dressed in thin clouds, with a slender waist, she exuded a noble and graceful demeanor. Ning Tian was revered as a little princess in the outer court, for she truly possessed the beauty and grace of a princess. But only she knew that everything she strived for was a horizontal imitation of Ning Fengya. Indeed, Ning Tian was already very excellent, but next to her mother, she felt like a fakepared to the real thing. The four words "self-abasement and self-contempt" appeared in the dictionary of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s little princess for the first time. After listening to Ning Tian''s academic experiences, Ning Fengya nodded lightly, her voice clear and casual: "Developing interests and hobbies is a good thing. What about the task I gave you?" "The task..." Ning Tian''s face tightened, "I have befriended the geniuses in the outer court, and seven of them have promised to join the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower upon graduation. There will be more in the future." "Your father and Xie Qin were among the seven geniuses I recruited when I entered Shrek Academy. But these are just trivial matters. My dear daughter, when did you learn to avoid the important issues?" Ning Fengya''s smile was warm like the sun, but Ning Tian felt a bone-chilling cold from the curve of her mother''s lips. "The most important task is to win Xiao Bai''s heart. Whether it''s mutual affection or ttery, I just want to know, have you seeded?" "Mom!" Ning Tian looked at Ning Fengya in disbelief, her voice filled with sadness: "ording to you, I''m just an essory to Bai Ge! Emotional matters cannot be forced. I treat him sincerely, and we will let our rtionship develop naturally!" "Sincere treatment... let it develop naturally..." Ning Fengyaughed in anger, wanting to open Ning Tian''s head to see if it was filled with mush. She sneered: "This isn''t a world where love can sustain you. Strong alliances are paramount, and sincerity is the least important! Ning Tian, the innocent child must face reality. You need to learn to do the rational and correct thing, to shoulder the responsibility of reviving the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower! Shrek Academy is full of outstanding girls, and the dark guards left in Shrek City have seen Xiao Bai and the inner court female disciples together more than once. How long will your childhood friendshipst? If you don''t take the lead, someone else will!" "I... I..." Ning Tian seemed to lose control of her emotions, clenching her fists so hard that her knuckles turned blue. Ning Fengya gently brushed her hair, regaining herposure: "Xiao Bai has exceptional talent and excellent character, but he is ruthless to both himself and his enemies. He only shows warmth to his close family and friends. I''m not asking you to lower yourself to tter him, but to truly integrate with him. You need to share his joys and sorrows, to experience life and death with him, to sharemon interests, and to learn more about him. Show your vulnerabilities appropriately to spark a man''s protective instincts. This isn''t seduction, but a small tactic for harmonious rtionships between men and women, and between couples." "Mom, what you say makes sense, but I feel that times have changed. Soul conductors are the trend of the continent, and auxiliary souls can transform into control, strong attack, and agile attack souls with the help of soul conductors. So the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower doesn''t need to rely on battle soul masters anymore. We can revitalize ourselves!" Ning Tian looked at her mother stubbornly. Ning Fengya''s nose bridge was straight, dividing the light and shadow, making it hard to discern what the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s leader was thinking.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "Soul conductors..." Ning Fengya thought for a moment and slowly but firmly shook her head, saying: "Soul conductors also need soul power to advance. The Seven Treasures Crystal Tower is capped at level seventy-nine. What can a quasi-level eight soul conductor do? The Six-Winged Angel is different! The only stable divine soul in the history of Douluo Continent is now on our side... When Ning Rongrong''s ancestor did not leave the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, the sect suffered a defeat despite winning the dual-god battle. Later, the Heavenly Soul Empire split, and the Xue n, who were close to us, fled to Lingdou City to establish the Dueling Spirit Empire. The remaining Tianhun Empire royal family favors battle soul masters and is inclined to establish the Main Body Sect as the national sect. Once Jianmu Douluo falls, the Main Body Sect will have no more reservations, and the sect''s annihtion will be imminent. Xiao Tian, the sect''s top priority is to cultivate Xiao Bai with all our might before Jianmu Douluo''s fall, helping him break through to level ny-five and stabilize the situation within ten years. We will pass on the angel bloodline, and then the Main Body Sect and the Tianhun royal family will be no threat!" Ning Fengya''s beautiful face flushed, her heart racing in her chest, showing no signs of slowing down. The Six-Winged Angel was like a supreme scepter; whoever held it had the right topete for the continent. Then she noticed her daughter was silent. The garden was quiet, and after a while, Ning Fengya turned to look at Ning Tian, her eyes filled withplex emotions. "What are you thinking? Have you considered it seriously?" Ning Tian''s blue eyes reflected her mother''s face, her voice hoarse: "Mom, if you rely on the Six-Winged Angel to revitalize the sect, will we still be the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, or a branch of the Soul Temple''s Nine Treasures Crystal Tower?" The excitement subsided, and Ning Fengya''s face turned gray. She opened her mouth several times but could not refute Ning Tian''s words. Everything she said was self-deception. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was a sect that respected the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower. By binding the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower with the Six-Winged Angel, they would be a dedicated auxiliary to the Six-Winged Angel. In the future, people would remember the Six-Winged Angel, not the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower would exist in name only. Realizing this, Ning Fengya felt as if she had just woken from a dream. "Mom, relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. Bai Ge has his own path, and the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower has its own path..." Ning Tian earnestly advised, believing that self-reliance was the right path to revitalize the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. "Enough." Ning Fengya waved her hand to interrupt Ning Tian, turned, and left. A ck ancient book fell into Ning Tian''s palm. The secret skill, Fusion Ring. "The future is yours. What I couldn''t do, you willplete." Ning Tian looked at her mother''s back in surprise. She couldn''t see Ning Fengya''s natural smile, which made the garden seem brighter. "You''ve grown up... I''ll go to the ancestral hall to chat with your father. Don''t follow me. Tomorrow, there''s an auction hosted by the Tianhun Empire. Although our rtionship isn''t what it used to be, we should still show our respect. You and Xiao Bai and Xiao Feng will apany me." "Love you, Mom!"

"Patriarch Ning, it''s been a while." "Patriarch Wang, all is well." "Prince Yong... Dean Liu..." Ning Fengya, apanied by Ling Bai, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng, the three future pirs of the sect, walked into the Soul Heaven Auction House with ease. She greeted the sect leaders, deans, and nobles continuously, while Shadow Dragon Douluo Xie Qin remained hidden in the shadows, ensuring their safety. The registration desk was about fifty meters from the entrance. Many eminent figures who were usually unapproachable were now queuing up,pleting the registration and other tedious procedures to receive their number tes. When the four of them arrived, a beautiful young woman in a red long dress stepped forward to wee them. A dead camel is still bigger than a horse. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower would never stoop to queueing. Ning Fengya handed over a nine-colored invitation card embossed with the royal emblem. The young woman''s red lips parted slightly as she recognized it, and her back straightened even more, maintaining a humble yet elegant demeanor as she led them to the VIP channel. People around them cast curious, angry, and inquisitive nces, but all these looks vanished the moment they saw Ning Fengya''s breathtaking beauty. One second ago, I want to see which bigwig is using the special channel!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The next second, it''s the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, so there''s no problem. "Haha, did you see how quickly those people''s faces changed?" Wu Feng tried to suppress hisughter and whispered to Ling Bai and Ning Tian. Ning Tian smiled lightly, "Today is the annual auction g of the Soul Heaven Auction House. There are ten items up for auction, all of which are treasures. Countless people are vying to get in. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower has a nickname in the continent''s auction houses: the Sweeper. Whenever they participate, they always buy in bulk, sparing no expense, so they are always favored and courted by auction houses. The Heavenly Soul Empire invited us to ensure that the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower can support the g. Otherwise, if the items fail to sell, it would be a p in the face." Ling Bai nodded inwardly. He was well aware of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s background. His ancestors had quickly amassed wealth through their Spirit Soul talent in treasure hunting. By Ning Fengya''s generation, her twin sister and deputy leader, Ning Fengyu, was sent with a group of direct disciples to the Sun Moon Empire to conduct illegal Rare Metal trade under a hidden identity, which proved to be highly profitable. In addition, Ning Fengya invested widely, making money from money. On the Douluo Continent, the only entity that could rival the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower in terms of wealth was the Mingde Hall, which led in Soul Conductor Technology. Every force that needed Golden Soul Coins in the three kingdoms hoped for the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s patronage. The four of them passed through an ancient wooden door, and the scene changed abruptly. The surroundings were bathed in golden light, with the walls adorned in gold and the floor covered in luxurious pr white jade. Every ten meters, a pair of columns carved with exquisite patterns stood. The lighting was a soft yellow, and under the golden walls, the three-dimensional golden world was dazzling. The red-dressed young woman opened the exclusive 888 VIP room for the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and bowed, "Please enter, honored guests." The Soul Heaven Royal Family had clearly put in effort; the 888 room was entirely decorated with the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s most revered nine-colored spirit jade, exuding a luxurious and elegant style that was both noble and warm. In fact, it wasn''t just the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower; the main sect, Shrek Academy, the Soul Spirit Royal Family, the Star Luo Royal Family, and even the thousand-year-old reclusive Heavenly Soul Sect, all had their own VIP rooms reserved by the Soul Heaven Royal Family. Ling Bai sank into a sofa made of ten-thousand-year-old blue water goose down. Opposite him was a soul conductor screen broadcasting the auction stage live. Wu Feng let out a long,fortable sigh, and Ling Bai nced at her with a helpless look before saying, "Could you please introduce the items up for auction this year?" The young woman replied respectfully, "Certainly, honored guest. The Soul Heaven Auction House divides its auctions into six levels: white, yellow, purple, ck, red, and gold. The annual auction g is the second-highest level, just below the ten- year golden g. This g will feature ten precious treasures, including high-level soul conductors, Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bones, Rare Metals, and live ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, which will certainly meet the needs of our honored guests." Ning Fengya had already closed her eyes to rest, and Ning Tian whispered, "Mom, are you tired?" "I''m just not interested in this g. The next Soul Master Tournament will be held in the Star Luo Empire, and the items from the Starlight Auction House will truly be treasures. If you like something, bid on it. Just buy a few to fill the Heavenly Warehouse." Ning Fengya''s bored voice directly entered Ning Tian''s ears through a secret technique called ''transmitting sound into the ear,'' which was simple yet effective. "Wee to the Soul Heaven Auction House. The auction is about to begin. Please take your seats, honored guests." At that moment, a beautiful and melodious female voice echoed from all directions, and the auction hall fell silent. Through the soul conductor screen, one could see the surrounding wall lights gradually dimming while the stage lights gradually brightened. A woman in a red long dress walked onto the stage from one side of the auction hall. She was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a dignified and beautiful appearance and a faint smile on her face. Her well-fitted dress perfectly outlined her mature figure, and she walked with a graceful gait. "Good evening, honored guests. I am Xina, the red-level auctioneer of the Soul Heaven Auction House. I will be hosting today''s annual g." Xina bowed to the audience, earning a round of apuse, and said, "The auction will now begin. Please have the staff present the first item." Two young women in red dresses pushed a small cart onto the stage, covered with a cloth. They stopped the cart in the center and lifted the cloth to reveal a silver ne with a metal pendant shaped like a bottle, about the size of an adult''s thumb. Xina walked to the cart with a soul conductor amplifier in hand and smiled, "Recharge Soul Conductor, also known as a bottle, is a familiar item to guests who are well-versed in soul conductors. The bottle at this g is not an ordinary one; it is a level-seven soul conductor." "Level-seven bottle?!" Ning Tian was slightly surprised, drawing questioning looks from Ling Bai and Wu Feng. She quickly exined in a low voice, "The bottle is the soul conductor with the highest material requirements and the mostplex manufacturing process. The difficulty of making a level- seven bottle isparable to that of a level-eight soul conductor, and its value is likely to exceed five million Golden Soul Coins. Brother Bai, the bottle can quickly replenish soul power. Although a level-seven bottle is quite advanced, with your strength, you can absorb it steadily without any problem. You will be participating in the Soul Master Tournament after school starts, and having it by your side means an extrayer of protection." "...Alright." Ling Bai nodded after a moment''s thought. It was meaningless to be stubborn like the obstinate donkeys of the Shrek Academy. His future cultivation path would be centered around his Spirit Soul, with soul conductors as a supplement. "The starting bid for the level-seven bottle is one million Golden Soul Coins, with a minimum bid increment of ten thousand Golden Soul Coins. The auction begins!" "A million and ten thousand Golden Soul Coins!" A deep voice came from the soul conductor screen, made by a guest in the hall. Immediately, someone raised their bid, "One million and two hundred thousand." The level-seven bottle had a wide audience, not limited to soul masters or soul engineers, so the bidding price steadily increased, just as Ning Tian had predicted, quickly surpassing five million Golden Soul Coins. After breaking the five million mark, the bidding suddenly paused. Bidders with insufficient resources hesitated; the first item exceeded their budget, and they would only be able to watch the subsequent treasures. "Five million Golden Soul Coins, once." Xina began the final three calls. "Six million." A unique nine-colored number appeared on the screen, and Xina''s eyes lit up instantly. Nine colors, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower! Big spender! "Bidder 888 offers six million Golden Soul Coins!" "888?" The special number made the guests pause for a second, then they all sighed bitterly. Those who had an interest in the level-seven bottle gave up immediately. Competing with the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower in terms of wealth was like taking too many fake drugs. "Six million, once; six million, twice; six million, thrice. Sold!" Xina''s hammer fell quickly. Auctioneers earn their ie from amission on the items sold, and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s generous bid of six million made her smile wider than an AK could suppress. Moreover, the opening price of the first item set the tone for the entire auction, and today was off to a great start. The etiquettedy pushed the second item onto the stage. From the shape of the cloth, it was clear that this item was small, almost fitting perfectly on the cart. Xina walked to the front of the stage, her face flushed, cleared her throat, and said, "The second item is a soul engineer''s most intimatepanion, even more so than a lover. I won''t keep you in suspense; let me reveal its true identity now." The moment the cloth was lifted, everyone was drawn to it, but the expected dazzling light did not appear. On the cart was an ordinary-looking item, about half a foot long and as thick as a finger. It narrowed from bottom to top, with a sharp tip and a handle about half an inch wide at the bottom. The overall appearance was ancient and dark, with faint patterns etched on its surface, emitting a dark and gloomy aura. "Tch..." Some bidders in the screen sighed in disappointment. This was a carving knife used by soul engineers to engrave core arrays, and they didn''t think a carving knife could bring much surprise. "Buy! It! At any cost!!" Ilex''s roar in the Spirit Sea startled the Death Prison Spider Emperor next door. Is the old man crazy, shouting so loudly? "Don''t worry, Elder Ilex." Ling Bai guessed the true identity of the carving knife. It was the 99th-ranked carving knife on the list, known as the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, or Life Gold. The Soul Devouring Carving Knife had been passed through numerous auctions, until Huo Yuhao bought it at the Starlight Auction House. After several purifications and enhancements, it transformed into the Life Guardian de. Who would have thought it had once ended up at the Soul Heaven Auction House? Since the opportunity presented itself, it couldn''t be missed! Xina continued her introduction, "On the Douluo Continent, the list of carving knives records the top one hundred carving knives, and more than two-thirds of them are in the Sun Moon Empire. This carving knife ranks 99th, and its capabilities should not ce it so low. This is mainly because it is a cursed carving knife, the Soul Devouring Carving Knife." The moment the words "Soul Devouring Carving Knife" were spoken, many people who had been eager to bid on a listed carving knife suddenly fell silent. This carving knife had a notorious reputation, said to be inhabited by the soul of a Sealed Douluo-level Evil Soul Master, and all thirty-seven of its owners had died tragic deaths. Soul engineers across the Douluo Continent were terrified of it. Ning Tian''s eyes also showed regret. Listed carving knives were extremely rare. The Heavenly Warehouse had two, ranked 88th and 66th. In Shrek Academy, only Xian Lin''er and Fan Yu had listed carving knives. She had wanted to buy another one to take home, but the Soul Devouring Carving Knife... Forget it, forget it! An Evil Soul Master is inauspicious! Stay away from it! "The Soul Devouring Carving Knife, starting bid is three hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins, with a minimum bid increment of ten thousand Golden Soul Coins. Guests may now begin bidding." Xina''s smile was perfect, but she was not at all excited. As an auctioneer for nearly ten years, she could tell from the audience''sck of enthusiasm that the Soul Devouring Carving Knife was likely to fail to sell. It was amon urrence for the Soul Devouring Carving Knife to fail to sell. The Soul Heaven Auction House had acquired it from the Soul Spirit Empire at a low price, hoping to sell it at the annual g for a small profit, even cing it as the second item to capitalize on the momentum of the level-seven bottle. However, the bidders were exceptionally shrewd and did not buy into the strategy, and her n was likely to fail. Xina quietly nced at the 888 VIP room, silently praying that the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, with its wealth, would save the Soul Heaven Royal Family''s face and rescue the annual auction g from failure, avoiding the embarrassment of the second item failing to sell. Time ticked by, and just as Xina was losing hope, the elegant nine-colored font finally appeared on the screen. "Five hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins." Xina was almost in tears. This was the first bid for the Soul Devouring Carving Knife in a hundred years! Five hundred thousand! The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower lived up to its reputation as a big spender... a great benefactor! Generous spending! Five hundred thousand for a cursed item! "Bang! Sold!" Xina was afraid that the big spender might change their mind, so she skipped the three calls and immediately hammered down, dering that the cursed knife belonged to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Did anyone else have any objections? No objections! It was impossible to outbid the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, and besides, it was a sinister item! "Not... what?" Seeing the Soul Devouring Carving Knife already in front of them, Ning Tian and Wu Feng were both shocked and confused. Ning Fengya opened her eyes with a smile. Five hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins was nothing to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, and the expressions of her daughter and Wu Feng were amusing. As for the Soul Devouring Carving Knife... When Ling Bai hunted his first soul ring and went into a frenzy, Ning Fengya had witnessed the power of the Death Prison Spider Emperor. An Evil Soul Master''s soul was no more than a midnight snack for the Death Prison Spider Emperor. If Ling Bai wanted it, he could have it. Pampering one''s own child was the right thing to do. Ning Tian watched Ling Bai hesitate several times, wanting to tell him about the terrifying nature of the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, but after much deliberation, she swallowed her words. The next seven items were two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bones, a Ten Thousand Year Bronze Unicorn, Rare Metal, a Grade 6 Preloaded Soul Conductor Shell, a Dragon Maiden, and a Grade 8 Melee Soul Conductor. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower chose a slightly better right arm soul bone and a Grade 6 Preloaded Soul Conductor Shell, ensuring they got their share while leaving some for others. Thest item was slowly pushed onto the stage from one side of the auction tform. Unlike the previous items, this time the cart wasrger, and the cloth covering it was a dazzling golden color. Everything at the Soul Heaven Auction House was rted to the soul ring colors, with gold being the most prestigious. Xina lifted the cloth with a smile, "The Thousand Charm Demon Beauty, a Grade 8 Peak Soul Conductor."

The receptionist girl gestured for them to enter, leading the way for the three of them. The moment they stepped into the Treasure Pavilion, a wave of golden light hit them. The hall was decorated in extreme luxury, with crystal goldmps hanging from the ceiling, casting a dazzling glow throughout the room. On both sides of the Treasure Pavilion''s main hall stood rows of short-skirted girls, each with a sweet face and a slender figure, carefully selected for their exceptional beauty. Their fair skin gleamed under the golden splendor of the walls, adding to their graceful allure. "Wee, honored guests." The girls bowed in unison, their perfect 90-degree bends revealing just enough of their smooth, round curves. Ling Bai, with his eye for beauty, couldn''t help but linger on them for a couple of seconds. Being surrounded by so many beautiful girls felt like stepping into a paradise. "Your drool is showing." Ling Luochen suddenly spoke up. "6." Ling Bai turned to look at her, his face showing a mix of surprise and amusement. "You, an ice queen, telling cold jokes? What''s the difference from pulling a prank on April Fool''s Day, saying someone''s shoce is untied!" "Those girls are one of themodities of the Treasure Pavilion, priced at ten thousand Golden Soul Coins each. They undergo years of special training and are guaranteed to be virgins. Guests can buy them out and take them home to indulge in their pleasures." Ma Xiaotao said with a casual yet pointed tone. "Indulge? That term sounds a bit harsh." Ma Xiaotao shrugged. "Some students who act all righteous and preachy have already kept several girls in Shrek City. We even have Inner Academy students doing the same." "Who?" "Yel Liu, he keeps eight." Ling Bai was stunned, taking a while to respond. "That''s... quite a lot of energy." "Scumbags deserve to die." Ling Luochen said coldly. "Right, despising Yel Liu is the first lesson for Inner Academy girls!" Ma Xiaotao showed her small but powerful fists. For once, Ling Bai didn''t dare to say a word, feeling the tension between the two girls. Ma Xiaotao put on a senior''s demeanor. "Although you''re a second-year Inner Academy student, you''re still young and easily swayed by women. Don''t follow Yel Liu''s example and keep girls." Ling Bai raised an eyebrow. "Lose control? That night you wore ck..." The moment the word "ck" was out, Ma Xiaotao''s face turned pale, and she quickly rushed over to cover his mouth. Ling Bai was referring to the night they moved into the Golden Tree, when she was tempted by Teacher Yan Shaozhe to wear a ck skirt, but ended up chickening out. "There are outsiders!" Ma Xiaotao subtly signaled to Ling Luochen, cing her finger to her red lips and lowering her voice. "Don''t say it!" If Ling Luochen found out about Ma Xiaotao''s failed attempt to seduce a junior, it would be a topic of gossip for a long time. Ling Luochen''s gaze shifted between Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao several times. Her sixth sense told her that something had definitely happened between them, but she wasn''t interested in Ma Xiaotao''s private life. She was more curious about why Ling Bai could make the ice elemental soul power tremble. Throughout their journey, Ling Luochen walked on Ling Bai''s left side, guided by a mysterious aura. The ice elemental soul power, initially trembling in fear, gradually became as docile as a cat meeting its owner, asionally purring with contentment. She was puzzled and eager to understand the reason, but her cold personality and thin skin made it hard for her to ask Ling Bai directly. She decided to warm up to him a bit before finding the right moment to ask. The first floor of the Treasure Pavilion was open to the public, and the receptionist girl led the three of them to the second floor, which was specifically set up for Shrek Academy students. The second floor was slightly smaller than the first, with various-sized booths arranged in the best positions. At a nce, there were nearly a hundred booths, each enclosed in arge crystal ss dome. The girl stopped and bowed slightly. "Wee, honored guests, to the Treasure Exhibition. The exhibition is held on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion. Please feel free to browse. If you like any item, you can register and purchase it at the counter on the west side. Your VIP status will also be assessed there, which determines your credit limit and exclusive discounts." "Since it''s your first time at the Treasure Exhibition, you should get your VIP status assessed first." Ma Xiaotao suggested. "Based on age, soul power, and cultivation, Shrek Academy VIPs are divided into five levels: White, Yellow, Purple, ck, and Red. We, the official Shrek Seven Monsters, are usually ck-level VIPs, getting a 30% discount and a credit limit of 500,000 Golden Soul Coins. Wait, you''re a Nine Treasures Crystal Tower student, right..." Ma Xiaotao''s voice trailed off. It was well-known that the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was only rich in money, so Ling Bai''s pocket money must be substantial. A credit limit of 500,000 Golden Soul Coins seemed almost like an insult. "Let''s go and see; we shouldn''t miss out on the benefits." Shrek Academy Inner Academy students had shed blood and sweat for the Shrek Surveince Team, so they deserved some discounts and credit benefits. Ling Bai, who had set his eyes on top-tier items, would be spending the six years'' worth of pocket money he had saved up, now that Ning Fengya wasn''t around. A 30% discount would save him a significant amount. The two girls apanied Ling Bai, and they walked nearly a hundred meters to the west side. Below the counter, a light strip glowed with a crystalline yellow light, casting a gentle glow that added a touch of softness to their faces. Inside the counter stood another pretty girl, around sixteen or seventeen years old, with a cute baby face. Seeing the three Inner Academy students, she stood up respectfully. "Hello, is there anything I can do for the honored guests?" "Assess our VIP status." "Certainly, please fill out your information." The girl handed over a white sheet of paper, which required only two pieces of information: name and soul power. "So simple?" Ling Bai quickly filled it out. "The assessment is actually just a query. The higher-ups at the academy have already evaluated it. There are fewer than a hundred Inner Academy students, so your name and soul power are enough." Ma Xiaotao exined. The query was very fast. A minuteter, the girl''s expression changedpletely when she looked at Ling Bai, as if she wanted to devour him with her eyes. Her professional demeanor quickly kicked in, and she retrieved a card from the back of the counter, subtly lowering her top by three centimeters before quickly walking to Ling Bai, bending deeply to reveal a stunning curve, and presenting a Crimson VIP Card with a voice as sweet as a nightingale''s. "Respected Mr. Ling, you are a Red-level VIP of the Treasure Pavilion. You enjoy a 40% discount on all purchases and can choose one item from the Treasure Exhibition each year, with all expenses covered by Shrek Academy." "Red level, and a free item every year?" Ling Bai didn''t say anything, but Ma Xiaotao blurted out, "You must be the secret offspring of some elder, getting special treatment now!" "Using connections is shameful." Ling Luochen added. "What''s going on with you two? You were at each other''s throats just a couple of hours ago, and now you''re in the same camp?" The two girls exchanged a nce, then coldly turned away. Ling Bai took the Red-level VIP card, which was warm to the touch, made of Crimson Spirit Warm Jade, capable of engraving a seventh-level soul conductor core array. "Thank you, we''ll just browse around. We won''t disturb your work." "Yes, Mr. Ling." The girl''s hopes were dashed, and a hint of regret shed in her eyes. She was also a commodity of the Treasure Pavilion, and a young, handsome Red-level VIP had a bright future. If he chose her, even as a mistress, it would be a blessing that ordinary people could only dream of. "Why are you a Red-level VIP? The entire Shrek Academy has only one Red-level VIP, Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, who is a Sea God Pavilion elder!" Ma Xiaotao was puzzled. She, a direct disciple of the Soul Power Department''s dean, was only a ck-level VIP. Ling Bai, while slightly stronger inbat, soul power, and character... In short, he was just a bit better than her! "Who should I ask if you don''t know?" Ling Bai held the Red card, feeling both amused and exasperated. He wasn''t a worm in Shrek Academy''s stomach, but it was clear that Shrek Academy was eager to recruit him. The 40% discount was a slightly higher benefit than other students, but the free item was a pure trap of mutual benefit. Favors were the hardest to repay. Huo Yuhao gradually fell into Shrek Academy''s various favors, eventually considering the academy his home and everything for Shrek. The three of them browsed the exhibits at the Treasure Exhibition. Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, as traditional Shrek Academy Inner Academy students, focused only on items rted to Soul Master cultivation. Ling Bai, however, considered soul conductors, rare metals, and soul beast materials. The quality of the Inner Academy Treasure Exhibition was on par with any top-tier auction, and the variety of items was even greater. Ling Bai spent half an hour browsing, and the highest-level item was a golden arm bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragon, priced at 9.5 million Golden Soul Coins. The Golden Earth Dragon had excellent attributes, but Ling Bai had already absorbed soul bones in both arms and decided not to waste money on this one. He wasn''t as extravagant as Ning Fengya, who would buy anything that caught her eye and store it in the Heavenly Treasury. "Holy crap, a hundred million!" Ma Xiaotao suddenly pulled Ling Bai, pointing to a booth that everyone passing by would notice. It was at least twice the size of the others, with a huge crystal dome spreading a brilliant purple-golden light. A red sign stood beside it. Shocking price, 99,999,999 Golden Soul Coins! "Really a hundred million?" Ling Bai and Ling Luochen''s pupils involuntarily contracted. This must be the Treasure Pavilion''s crown jewel. The three of them rushed over to see what item could be priced at a hundred million Golden Soul Coins. Could it be a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone? To their disappointment, the item floating in the booth was not a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone but a tube of purple-golden liquid, giving a sense of anticlimax like a simple tomato sd. The description beside it read: "Radiant Glory. Derived from a 300,000-year-old Radiant Thunder Hell Dragon, with attributes of light and lightning, possessing extremely pure bloodlines of the Holy Dragon and the Ancient Thunder Dragon. This Radiant Thunder Hell Dragon was the soul beast hunted by the Sea God Pavilion''s Dragon God Douluo Muen for his ninth soul ring when he broke through to the 90th level of soul power. After extracting the soul ring and soul bone, the Sea God Pavilion''s Dragon God Douluo refined and concentrated the Radiant Thunder Hell Dragon''s blood essence. Radiant Glory contains the bones, blood, scales, and horns of a 300,000-year-old near-ultimate attribute true dragon soul beast, making it a treasure for all light and lightning attribute Soul Masters on the continent." "This thing... really is worth a hundred million." Ma Xiaotao said in amazement. Ling Bai and Ling Luochen nodded in agreement. A 300,000-year-old soul beast was on par with the ten most ferocious beasts in the world, and its blood essence was invaluable. For Dragon, Light, and Lightning attribute Soul Masters, the effects of absorbing Radiant Glory wereparable to fusing a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, potentially improving their innate qualities and promoting soul power evolution. "Unfortunately, the Radiant Thunder Hell Dragon isn''t an ultimate light." Ling Bai sighed, almost solving the problem of the ultimate light soul bone. "No, you should buy it." Elex''s voice echoed in his mind. "What? Old Elex, that''s a hundred million! Even with the discount, it''s still sixty million!" Ling Bai felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He wasn''t short of money, but he was far from being a big spender! With the changing times, the purchasing power of Golden Soul Coins had increased, but a family of three only needed a few dozen Golden Soul Coins a year. What could sixty million Golden Soul Coins do? It could fully equip a ten-thousand-strong heavy cavalry! "The ten-thousand-year-old ultimate light and ultimate fire soul bones are seeds nted for you. Seeds need nutrients to grow, and Radiant Glory is top-grade nutrient solution. The decision is yours." |||| Outside, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen suddenly noticed Ling Bai''s face turning as dark as a pot bottom, walking back to the west side with a determined look, as if he were a hero going on a one-way journey. "Are you really going to buy Radiant Glory?" the two girls said in unison. "Yeah." Ling Bai nodded heavily. "Do you have that much money?" Ma Xiaotao asked curiously. "No way, even the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s princess can''te up with half that, let alone me." "Are you nning to use the Red card''s free item benefit?" Ma Xiaotao was overjoyed. This meant Ling Bai was epting a favor from Shrek Academy, making them partners. It would be much easier to deal with the evil fire! "Don''t get your hopes up!" Ling Bai said irritably. "I''m going to sell everything I have." He took three steps in two, arriving at the west side counter, and bluntly asked the girl with a baby face: "Does the Treasure Pavilion buy back treasures?" The girl, intimidated by Ling Bai''s presence, stammered, "Y-Yes, please follow me..." Ling Bai had saved twenty million pocket money over twelve years. Xiong Mo''s worth was twenty million. Xu Cong, already in a dire situation, had spent most of his money on rare metals for soulN?v(el)B\\jnn conductors, leaving him with a meager ten million. The gray-haired appraiser looked at the pile of items on the table and slowly said: "Ten seventh-level soul conductorndmines, produced by the Mingde Hall, seventy thousand Golden Soul Coins each, totaling seven million. A 13,000-year-old Mad Rhino right leg soul bone, one hundred and sixty thousand Golden Soul Coins. Half a 70,000-year-old soul beast, the Burning Sun Fire Dragon, including dragon teeth, scales, blood, and meat, fifty thousand Golden Soul Coins... Two storage soul conductors, one seventh-level, made by a regr seventh-level soul conductor master, and one eighth-level, produced by the Mingde Hall, totaling nine hundred thousand. Total: ten million Golden Soul Coins." "Shaozhe, this kid isn''t grateful..." At the top floor of the Treasure Pavilion, the old woman smiled at Yan Shaozhe. Yan Shaozhe sighed. "What can we do, Elder Lin? Radiant Glory is the teacher''s treasure, and originally meant for Bei Bei. He suddenly decided to put it in the Treasure Pavilion specifically emphasized giving Ling Bai a Red-level VIP status. Unfortunately, Ling Bai is very cautious about the academy. I''m more worried about Xiao Tao. She''s stubborn and refuses to release her evil fire with a man, unwilling to give up the opportunity for ultimate fire. She insists on finding a boy she likes, which means she''ll have to endure the evil fire. The purification from the Six-Winged Angel is wearing off, and she''ll still need Ling Bai''s help in the future. If they can get together, it would be great, but the problem is they don''t have any chemistry. When Ling Bai graduates, what will happen to Xiao Tao? Moreover, that boy is as cunning as a little fox, and he''s quite the womanizer. Cough, cough, much like me in my younger days. Xiao Tao''s straightforward temper is no match for him, so it''s a tough situation..."

Ilex asked with a smile. "It''s a million-year-old soul beast, after all," Ling Bai said, a bit embarrassed. "Elder I, its name is Tianmeng Ice Silkworm..." "It''s a minor issue; ice silkworms are still bugs." Ilex didn''t care much about the name, waving his hand and continuing, "When it descended, I noticed its life force was extraordinarily vast and mighty. However, when converted into Life Gold, it was only the size of a teardrop, more than enough to heal your teacher''s old injuries. I have already transformed into a gray soul ring and parasitized the Death Prison Spider Emperor, and one-fifth of the Life Gold is sufficient to stabilize my soul, freeing me from the worry of my residual soul dissipating. Xiaobai, most of the Life Gold will still be absorbed by you!" "Hmm..." What was once an extremely difficult task suddenly became simple. Jianmu Douluo was out of danger, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was preserved, the backing mountain grew even taller, and the threat from the main sect diminished. A series of pleasant surprises left Ling Bai somewhat unprepared. After calming down and thinking seriously, he proposed a n: "Life Gold is a divine treasure of life. My teacher possesses the top-tier life attribute soul beast, the Jianmu Sacred Tree. Therefore, I n to give him three times the size of a teardrop of Life Gold to help him heal and advance further, breaking through to the pinnacle of mortals on the Tang Sect Continent, the 99th-level Sealed Douluo. Elder Mu, the Dragon God Douluo, has limited time, and he will certainly pass away within three years. The Sun Moon Empire has three powerful figures: the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, the Death God Douluo Ye Xishui, and the Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming. I, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, the three empires, and Shrek Academy all need a powerful limit Douluo to maintain order, and my teacher is the most suitable candidate. In addition, one-fifth of the Life Gold is only enough to stabilize your residual soul. I believe taking two-thirds of it to directly repair the soul would be more effective. The remaining Life Gold should be kept as two teardrop-sized reserves, and the rest I will absorb. Elder I, what do you think?" "What reason do I have to reject it?" Ilex shook his head with a bitter smile, his gaze towards Ling Bai bing increasingly gentle and affectionate. While others would desperately want to absorb all the Life Gold immediately upon knowing its effects, Ling Bai had previously chosen to give up and now voluntarily reduced his share. Each of these actions allowed Ilex to see the pure heart of a child. At this moment, Ilex truly regarded Ling Bai as his own child, determined to pass on all his knowledge to him. "We shouldn''t dy. Let''s start absorbing the Life Gold now. Afterward, I''ll give you a gift." "A gift?" Ilex smiled but didn''t say anything. The next second, his eyes shimmered with a gray, lifeless ripple, and a tangible spiritual force rushed towards the Soul Devouring Dagger. "Death, holiness, light..." From Ilex''s spiritual force, Ling Bai felt the familiar death attribute of the Death Prison Spider Emperor and the holy light simr to that of the Six-Winged Angel. It was undeniable that they had a special connection, their attributes aligning even more closely than those of a father and son. The moment the gray spiritual force entered the Soul Devouring Dagger, the infamous weapon, which struck fear into the hearts of all soul engineers, trembled violently like a pot of boiling water. It emitted a series of piercing screams, as if a wicked person was making their final wail before death. Ilex let out a cold hum and said, "Injecting evil and curses into the Life Gold, which is the essence of life, is an interesting idea, but the creator got it backward. Life force is the core of Life Gold. Purifying Light, return to the source!" Ilex shot a grayish-white beam, and the Soul Devouring Dagger suddenly burst into a thick ck smoke, forming a twisted and grotesque man''s face. The evil soul master''s soul, parasitized within, screamed and lunged at Ilex, attempting to devour him just as it had done with the dagger''s previous owners. However, before the Holy Death Spirit Mage, all resistance was futile. The evil soul master''s soul was easily controlled, and the ck evil aura dissipated under the Purifying Light. The Soul Devouring Dagger''s dark body became as clear as green crystal, its malevolent aurapletely gone, radiating a vibrant and wondrous life force. The true form of Life Gold was revealed. Ilex didn''t say much, cutting the Life Gold ording to Ling Bai''s n. Most of the Life Gold fell into Ling Bai''s hands. The moment he absorbed it, Ling Bai''s body and spirit sea were both dyed green. The green light of Life Gold illuminated everything, and the Death Prison Spider Emperor couldn''t help but squint its eight crimson eyes, unsure of what to think. An unprecedented sense offort spread throughout his body. Ling Bai had grown up in the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, consuming countless treasures and elixirs like Minghuang Pills, Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, Soul Nourishing Pills, and Mystical Water Pills, but none of them couldpare to Life Gold. The immense life energy, like a clear spring, washed over every corner of his body from the outside in. Although Life Gold had no effect on soul power, its profound impact on the essence of life would gradually manifest as his cultivation deepened. At the same time, Ling Bai''s spirit sea underwent a dramatic transformation. Over the years, the Death Prison Spider Emperor had wreaked havoc, leaving his spirit sea like and ravaged by disaster, filled with cracks. Now, it had be an endless azure in, smooth and t, with a centralke of greenish-gold water, its ripples nurturing the spirit sea with a rich life force. Life and death in harmony, pure and unblemished. Ling Bai moved his body, the sound of blood flowing like a gentle stream, exuding a vibrant life force. His bones, muscles, meridians, and organs, as well as his spirit, were all enhanced. After absorbing the Life Gold, Ling Bai felt he could take on two and a half of his former self from thirty minutes ago. "Done?" Ilex''s voice rang out, and Ling Bai looked over to see Ilex''s body bing clearer and more solid, his gray eyes shining more vividly. The effects of the Life Gold were evident. "Thank you, Elder I." "The Life Gold is a deserved opportunity for you. I should be the one thanking you," Ilexughed. "I stand by my word. Here, I have a small gift for you." As he spoke, Ilex extended his right index finger and quickly drew in the air. A strange gray six-pointed star array silently appeared beneath Ling Bai, forming arge mouth that swallowed his body. The spatial oscition faded, and he found himself in a dimly lit world. A peculiar purple sun hung in the sky, and thend was barren and undting, the soil as dark as ink, with no nts in sight. A cold, chilling aura enveloped him from all directions. The Death Prison Spider Emperor took control, and eight Death Prison Spider Spears burst from his back. The two soul rings, one gray and one ck, glowed deeply. Ling Bai''s face showed a look of enjoyment; this ce was filled with the aura of death, and he had a good idea of where he was. Ilex appeared beside Ling Bai and said, "Xiaobai, I hesitated for a long time about whether to teach you Necromancy. In most people''s eyes, Necromancy is associated with corpses, souls, and death, a power that is extremely evil and bloody, and it also ces immense pressure on the user''s mind and body. But I truly can''t bear to let the Necromancy I created with all my life''s efforts be lost to history. After much consideration and thorough examination of you, I have finally decided to pass it on to you in its entirety." "I understand your hesitation, Elder I," Ling Bai said calmly. "But whether it''s Necromancy or the Death Prison Spider Emperor, the abilities themselves are not inherently right or wrong. The user''s character is the most crucial factor. Even the most sacred and righteous Six- Winged Angel, if used to recklessly ughter, bes an evil soul beast. Conversely, if an evil soul beast resists corruption and strives for the light, he is a righteous and pure soul master." "You''ve always done that, so I trust you," Ilex said. "The gray soul ring contains all the knowledge of Necromancy and the framework I created. The permissions are now open to you. In the future, you only need to enhance your spiritual power to freely use them. There is one thing you must remember: no matter how powerful a necromancer is, they will expend their life force when using Necromancy. Even I, who became a Lich through a special magical ritual, still experienced physical decay after using certain extremely powerful Necromancy. Fortunately, Life Gold can perfectly solve this w. If you ever encounter Life Gold again, don''t miss the opportunity." Ling Bai instantly understood, tranting it in his mind: "Sending warmth to Brother Daimao, discussing life with Sister Yilong." "This Necromantic Demine is the gift I''m giving you. I created it to study a Necromancy technique, in your Tang Sect Continent''s terms, a soul skill. I left thirteen types of undead creatures, and after thousands of years of fighting and evolution, countless powerful undead have emerged in the Necromantic Demine. From today, you will be their sovereign, with all the undead at yourmand." "Thank you, Elder I!" Ling Bai was overjoyed. The Necromantic Demine was filled with countless Skeleton Soldiers, Liches, Death Knights, and Abominations. If he learned the legendary magic Undead Catastrophe, he could easily overwhelm several Sealed Douluo with a horde of undead! No wonder the Holy Death Spirit Mage was so generous! "Get to know the world you will lead." Ilex pointed to the distance, and Ling Bai slowly moved forward. Climbing over a hill, he saw vast numbers of white skeletons turn their heads in unison, their eye sockets glowing with emerald soul fires, numbering in the hundreds. Upon seeing Ling Bai, the skeletons hesitated for a second before charging at him fearlessly. The life force was a fatal attraction to the undead, and consuming flesh and blood would aid their evolution. Any undead creature could reach the pinnacle through continuous evolution. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight skeletons charged forward, using their own bodies as weapons. They extended their pale bone ws, reaching for Ling Bai''s chest. Skeleton Soldiers were the lowest-level undead in the Necromantic Demine. Most of them were only at the soul master level, with a few reaching the one-ring soul master threshold. Ling Bai didn''t need to use soul skills to deal with them. A sweeping strike from the eight Death Prison Spider Spears instantly shattered the Skeleton Soldiers into bone fragments. After the Skeleton Soldiers shattered, the soul fires in their heads did not extinguish but instantly flew away. The first soul ring of the Death Prison Spider Emperor glowed brightly, and Ling Bai pointed at the ground. The shattered skeletons reformed at an astonishing speed, and the new soul fires turned gray. "You can recreate skeletons on your first try, showing a high aptitude for Necromancy," Ilex said with satisfaction. "Not really..." Contrary to Ilex''s praise, Ling Bai was unsatisfied with the result. The new skeletons had lost Prison their original dark and gloomy aura, faintly radiating a sense of light. Although Necromancy was the first soul ring of the Death Prison Spider Emperor, it seemed unrted to the Death ider Emperor, and there a clear disconnect between Ling Bai and the new skeletons, as if he had blindly copied answers without any personal thought. After a moment''s contemtion, Ling Bai raised a Death Prison Spider Spear and thrust it into a Skeleton Soldier. Energy continuously flowed into the body, and the soul fire turned from gray to crimson, the light attribute transforming into the ultimate death of the Death Prison Spider Emperor. Death Prison Skeleton! "Yes, that''s more like it." Patting the Death Prison Skeleton''s head, Ling Bai finally smiled. The Light Skeleton was Ilex''s creation, while the Death Prison Skeleton was his own. The of Necromancy and the ultimate enhancement made the Death Prison Skeleton far more powerful than the Light Skeleton, and the ultimate death was not restrained by the righteous attributes of light and lightning. "You..." Staring at the Death Prison Skeleton, which radiated power but was obedient to Ling Bai, Ilex was speechless, rubbing his eyes in disbelief. "I spent a lifetime studying Necromancy, and you easily modified it?" "Not really a modification," Ling Bai exined. "The core idea is to rece your light with my death. As you know, standing on the shoulders of giants, the view is always broader." Ilex looked up at the sky, annoyed. It was so easy for him to say, and he was so talented! The Holy Death Spirit Mage, who had dominated the continent in his past life, was actually discouraged by a beginner today. Seeing that Ilex didn''t want to talk, Ling Bai didn''t press the issue. There was much to do, as he still needed to study the Necromantic Demine and Necromancy. The gray soul ring expanded like a gray sun rising, its light illuminating every corner of the Necromantic Demine. A massive pressure descended from the sky, forcing countless undead to kneel, with only a few particrly powerful ones daring to roar at the gray sun, challenging the divine authority. The Sovereign''s Seal! Whoever possessed it was the sovereign of the Necromantic Demine. The Necromantic Demine was about the size of arge city. Ling Bai reached the center in an hour, seeing three colossal creatures over twenty meters tall, their eye sockets burning with emerald mes, majestic and fierce! The kings of the Necromantic Demine, Bone Dragons! "Sealed Douluo..." From the overwhelming aura of the Bone Dragons, Ling Bai deduced that they had undoubtedly broken through to the Sealed Douluo level. Two were around level 92, and the strongest was at level 95!

All core disciples under the age of fifteen gathered here, with a total of twenty-six from the Battle Soul Department. Thirteen of them were second-year students: Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Xie Huanyue, the Lan Sisters, Huang Chutian, Cao Jinxuan, and Zhou Sichen. It was evident that the talent of this batch of students would stand out even in the thousand-year history of Shrek Academy. But standing at the forefront of the Battle Soul Department, exuding the most formidable presence, were the three fifth-year Soul Masters: Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, and Jiang Nan Nan. Standing distinctly apart from the twenty-six Battle Soul students was the tall and dark- skinned He Caitou, the sole representative of the Soul Engineering Department and the only official Soul Master Tutor in the arena. Twenty-seven core disciples from the two departments were vying for seven spots, and a palpable tension filled the air as everyone became each other''spetitors. Ning Tian and Wu Feng stood among the crowd, nked by Xie Huanyue, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Huang Chutian. The six of them, who had all been defeated by Huo Yuhao in the Freshman Challenge, had temporarily formed a Losers'' Alliance. In the distance, a wobbly, elderly figure slowly entered the Battle Soul Arena. Most of his face was obscured by disheveled hair, but his distinctive image-holding a chicken leg in his left hand and a wine gourd in his right-perfectly identified him as Elder Xuan, the Taotie Douluo. Elder Xuan''s steps were unsteady, and the students couldn''t help but wonder if he would trip and fall t on his face at any moment. He scanned the core disciples and said with a blurry voice, "Little Wang, are everyone here?" Wang Yan, who had taken over the management of the second-year ss after Zhou Yi was transferred to the Soul Engineering Department, stepped forward and respectfully bowed. "Elder Xuan, there are twenty-six Battle Soul students and one Soul Engineering student, all twenty-seven core disciples are present and ready to start the assessment." "Good." Elder Xuan took a bite of his chicken leg and mumbled, "Listen carefully, you little brats. The core disciple assessment is a group Free-for-All. You can attack freely within the Battle Soul Arena, with no rules. Fight however you want, but there''s one requirement: use your maximumbat strength. Don''t worry about the consequences; I guarantee your safety! If you surrender or are rescued by me, you''re out. Thest seven standing will be the winners of this group Free-for-All and will be assigned a special mission in the near future. I''ll announce the start of thepetition, and please have the teachers of each ss leave the arena first." "Free-for-All... Good, good, good!" Dai Huabin''s eyes gleamed with fierce determination as he openly stared at Huo Yuhao. In just one week since the start of the second year, the situation had drastically changed. Huo Yuhao had awakened his second Battle Soul, the Ice Green Scorpion, and brutally defeated the Millennium me Lion King during his upgrade assessment. From being an unremarkable and overlooked talent, he had transformed into Shrek Academy''s rising star. The Dean of the Battle Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe, personally spoke with him, and it was said that Huo Yuhao was deeply grateful when he left the Dean''s office. The key point was that Dai Huabin had bet on the upgrade assessment scores with Huo Yuhao, and the loser had to kowtow and shout, "I was wrong." Huo Yuhao had secured a perfect score with his Ultimate Ice, while Dai Huabin had narrowly lost. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Dai Huabin had to fulfill the bet, and in a fit of rage, he had hired assassins from the White Tiger Duke''s Manor to ambush Huo Yuhao on the way to the core disciples'' treasure viewing, but the attempt failed again. If it weren''t for the fact that the Star Luo White Tiger lineage was the descendant of the Seven Monsters'' leader, Dai Mubai, and that countless White Tigers had won the Soul Master Competition andpleted dangerous missions for Shrek Academy over the centuries, Dai Huabin would have been expelled already. Now, Dai Huabin found himself with a legitimate opportunity to fight to the death, and his adrenaline was surging, clearly excited to the extreme! The Ice Green Scorpion, though an Ultimate Ice, had only one Soul Ring. The White Tiger was a top-tier Battle Soul with strengths in closebat and physical prowess, and Dai Huabin''s thirty-seventh-level Soul Power far surpassed Huo Yuhao''s twenty-third-level Soul Power. In a one-on-one fight, Dai Huabin was confident he would win! Meanwhile, the Official Shrek Seven Monsters quietly hid behind a pir, one after another, peering out to watch the spectacle. Before thepetition, Qian Duoduo had borrowed the Thousand Charm Beauty for research, so Ling Bai used an eighth-level Soul Engineering aura barrier to conceal their presence. Yao Haoxuan whispered, "Xiao Tao is betting on Xu San Shi, Yao Heng is betting on Dai Huabin, Ling Bai is betting on Ning Tian, Ling Luochen is betting on Jiang Nan Nan, Xi Xi is betting on Zhu Lu, Gongyang Mo is betting on He Caitou, and I''m betting on Bei Bei. Let''s all honor our bets, and the losers must not interfere in the final round, just watch the winners show off!" "Fine, fine, let''s honor our bets." The others said impatiently. Yao Haoxuan smiled in satisfaction, then suddenly remembered something and said with a strange expression, "Speaking of which, Gongyang Mo, you''re a pure traitor to the Battle Soul Department, betting on a Soul Engineering student!" "Just kidding, I, Gongyang Mo, am a loyalist of the Battle Soul Department!" Gongyang Mo firmly denied being a traitor and exined, "Think about it, we, the official Seven Monsters, don''t have a single Soul Master Tutor. If the next reserve team also doesn''t have a spot for a Soul Master Tutor, the Soul Engineering Department will explode, and Deans Xian and Qian will have a falling out! I heard Qian Fufu mention He Caitou, whose talent in Soul Engineering far surpasses his. He has already broken through to the Soul Master level and be a fourth-level Soul Master Tutor. Considering human nature, interests, and strength, He Caitou is bound to be selected for the reserve team." After speaking, Gongyang Mo licked his lips, feeling incredibly clever, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn''t receive the epiphanies and thumbs-up from the others. Dai Yao Heng scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "I get the logic, but why are you licking your lips so creepily?" "What are you talking about, you pervert!" Gongyang Mo''s cheeks turned red, and his delicate face had a somewhat alluring quality. He whispered, "Cai Tou has such dark skin and a strong build, he must be very powerful!" Oh, my, a guy! The three straight guys felt a chill and quickly retreated behind the girls, eyeing Gongyang Mo warily as he pinched his fingers in a delicate manner. "Stop messing around, He Caitou still has to win the Free-for-All. After all, the winners of the Free-for-All joining the reserve team is an unwritten rule of the academy." Ma Xiaotao stifled augh and pulled Ling Bai, who for the first time in over a year showed a deep-seated fear of someone. "Pfft, the academy previously stipted that the official Seven Monsters must include a Soul Master Tutor. Whether this unwritten rule of the Free-for-All holds any weight is up to the Sea God Pavilion elders." Yao Haoxuan grinned, "Anyway, I bet on Bei Bei, the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus, the strongest offensive Soul Master in the Outer Academy!" Upon hearing this, Ling Bai was slightly surprised. Shrek Academy truly had talent, and this was a spot-on observation! In the Battle Soul Arena, after hearing the Free-for-All rules for the twenty-seven-person melee, some core disciples began to stir. Could second-year students really be on par with fifth-year students? This was clearly unfair! Elder Xuan didn''t give them a chance to protest. He raised his wine gourd and shouted, "TheN?v(el)B\\jnn competition begins!" "Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao!" As soon as thepetition started, Huo Yuhao immediately joined forces with his two partners. No one in the arena had the power to single-handedly dominate everyone, so forming small teams was the best strategy. The three fifth-year Soul Masters had the same idea. Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, and Jiang Nan Nan stood back-to-back. The Outer Academy''s twin stars, Bei Bei and Xu San Shi, finally revealed their close friendship, and although Jiang Nan Nan seemed to want to kick Xu San Shi, she knew he was reliable in critical moments and would sacrifice himself to protect her. There were twenty-six Battle Soul students in total. Besides the three Soul Masters and thirteen second-year students, the remaining ten were third- and fourth-year Soul Exalted students, who also formed two teams. "Susu, Luolu,e help us!" Ning Tian called out to the Lan Sisters. "Sure, Tian!" Ning Tian had always been well-liked, and the Lan Sisters, being simple and easily swayed, joined the team without hesitation. "Senior Brother, you''re a fourth-level Soul Master Tutor. With you, we''ll have exactly seven people!" Huo Yuhao loudly reminded Bei Bei, who immediately understood. With four Soul Masters and three second-year students, the new generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters was taking shape. "San Shi, Nan Nan, let''s go! Prioritize the Soul Exalted!" The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus soul attached to Bei Bei, turning his arms into dragon-like forms. Four Soul Rings, recognized as the perfectbination in the Soul Master world, rose from his body, and he charged toward the Soul Exalted team like an arrow from a bow. "I''ll take the damage, you hide behind me!" Xu San Shi raised his Profound Turtle Shell Shield, assuming a heroic stance as if ready to face any danger for Jiang Nan Nan. "Get lost!" Jiang Nan Nan replied with a friendly "get lost," and her body, now transformed by the Soft Bone Rabbit soul, became more slender. A pair of white rabbit ears sprouted from her head, and she stepped on the Profound Turtle Shell Shield tounch herself into the air, coordinating with Bei Bei to attack the Soul Exalted. "ss President, take me with you!" Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen suddenly realized they were on their own and desperately cried out to Huo Yuhao for help. However, a metallic nging sound followed, and He Caitou immediately deployed the Soul Engineering Cannon tform tactic, armed with a variety of guns and cannons. He unleashed a barrage of fire on the Losers'' Alliance, and the first soul cannon shells from a distance landed right on their faces! In the next second, Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen tragically appeared next to Elder Xuan, each receiving a chicken leg as a punishment. "Eliminated at the start, you idiots!" Hearing Elder Xuan''s angry scolding, the two wanted to cry but couldn''t. A fourth-level Soul Master Tutor''s firepower was overwhelming; how could mere Great Soul Masters survive? Subsequently, the Losers'' Alliance demonstrated the correct approach. The Seven Treasures Crystal Tower''s force, speed, and attack enhancements entered the bodies of the Lan Sisters and Xie Huanyue, and the soul fusion skill Heavenly Net blocked the sky, with loud explosions echoing continuously. The remained strong, and the few stray cannon shells that prated it were intercepted by Xie Huanyue''s high defense as a Pachyderm Elephant. "Phew..." He Caitou exhaled a breath, the spirit-boosting cigar in his mouth half-consumed. The Soul Engineering Cannon tform was the most soul power-consuming tactic for a Soul Master Tutor, and after one round of concentrated fire, his soul power had decreased by a third, and the results were not satisfactory. The key targets, Ning Tian, Dai Huabin, and Xie Huanyue, were unharmed. As a fellow Soul Engineering student, Ning Tian was also one of He Caitou''s targets, but they needed to form a team of seven, so Ning Tian had to be included. "Seven Treasures, the first is: Force! The second is: Speed! The third is: Attack!" This time, Ning Tian chose to enhance the ten senior Soul Exalted students. Huo Yuhao had already activated his mental detection sharing, and Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, and Jiang Nan Nan were pushing the Soul Exalted back. If they didn''t help them, the three Soul Masters would finish off the Soul Exalted and thene for them! The Three Apertures Control Heart gave Ning Tian exquisite control, and the ten beams of light each had their own function. Offensive soul masters received attack enhancements, defensive soul masters received force enhancements, and agile soul masters received speed enhancements. With a 40% high-level enhancement, the ten Soul Exalted felt like they had divine assistance, and they united to besiege the three Soul Masters. "Xie Huanyue, protect Ning Tian, Heavenly Net intercepts the soul engineering, everyone else, don''t just stand there, settle your scores and take your revenge!" Wu Feng called out to Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Huang Chutian to attack, with amon target: Huo Yuhao! The colorful light from the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower entered their bodies, and their momentum surged. The four of them pounced on Huo Yuhao like fierce tigers descending from the mountains. "First soul skill, Cauldron''s Quake!" "First soul skill, Wing Scissors!" Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao naturally couldn''t stand by and watch. The Three-Life Soul Suppressing Cauldron and Goddess Butterfly moved to block the four attackers. With the enhancement of the world''s top support soul, the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower, and facing four attackers, their efforts seemed futile and ridiculous. Huang Chutian, the Titan Ape, firmly grabbed the Three-Life Soul Suppressing Cauldron, while the Goddess Butterfly''s Wing Scissors fell into Dai Huabin''s tiger ws. Wu Feng and Zhu Lu broke through the blockade and charged straight at Huo Yuhao. The humiliation and resentment in their hearts were no less than those of Ning Tian and Dai Huabin. These were their secret crushes and future husbands, and they couldn''t possibly let their loved ones be humiliated! Huo Yuhao didn''t panic in the face of the two women''s fierce attack. He was no longer the worthless Huo Yuhao that everyone could step on; he was now a dual-soul, ultimate soul, and an unparalleled genius! Soul switch, Ice Green Scorpion! Countless diamond ice crystals covered his arms, and the Ice Green Scorpion tattoo on his back seemed toe to life. A white soul ring pulsated around his body, and the red dragon''s red ws and the dark cat''s ck ws approached in an instant. The white soul ring glowed brightly, and the temperature around him plummeted as the Ultimate Ice domain descended, making it feel like they were in and of eternal ice and snow! The Ice Green Scorpion''s first soul skill, Ultimate Ice Domain! Because the Ice Empress had rejected the god-making n, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm could only find a ten-thousand-year-old Ice Green Scorpion for Huo Yuhao. It took two days of careful selection to find a ten-thousand-year-old Ice Green Scorpion with royal blood, which was the highest soul ring Huo Yuhao could absorb with the help of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm used its mental power to create an ice silkworm lure, luring the ten-thousand-year-old Ice Green Scorpion away from its n, and then used its vast mental power to incapacitate the Ice Green Scorpion. Huo Yuhao then dealt the final blow and sessfully killed it. The royal bloodline Ice Green Scorpion came with a natural Ultimate Ice Domain. It was said that the Ice Empress''s Ultimate Ice Domain had evolved into the Eternal Freeze Domain, capable of instantly freezing thousands of miles. The power of the Ice Green Scorpion''s natural domain was evident, which was why the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had insisted on choosing a royal bloodline!

The Ultimate Ice Domain''s aura was too obvious, and the Snow Empress in the Sea of Spirits was enraged. Ling Bai had once mentioned that Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nned to deceive the Ice Empress into joining them on the Path to Divinity. She could guess that the two must have somehow stolen the Ice Azure King Scorpion''s bloodline! "Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is an unprecedented Millennium Soul Beast, granting Huo Yuhao a second ice attribute Spirit Soul without a soul." The two were bound by life and death, and Ling Bai revealed all of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm''s secrets to the Snow Empress: "What Huo Yuhao absorbs as his first soul ring determines what his ice attribute Soul Power will be. They initially hoped for the Ice Azure Imperial Scorpion as the second Soul Power, but the crucial Molted Exoskeleton was taken by me over a year ago, causing the Ice Empress to unexpectedly break free from the Mental Cage, triggering the Northern Reaches beast tide. They didn''t dare provoke the Ice Empress and instead chose to attack an Ice Azure King Scorpion, taking its soul ring." "Indeed, we should have eliminated the root of the problemst time!" The Snow Empress''s anger affected the Sea of Spirits, and snowkes asrge as goose feathers fell, covering the greennd. If the Ice Azure King Scorpion grew strong enough, it could break through the Ten-Thousand-Year Cultivation. With a powerful bloodline, breaking through the second and third Great Tribtions was not out of the question; the Ice Empress was a living example. The Heavenly Tribtion of the Ice Empress, the Titan Snow Demon King, and the Ice Bear King, the three great beasts, had all descended within ten thousand years. The probability of them surviving the Great Tribtion was very low, with the highest being the Titan Snow Demon King at only thirty percent. If she and Ling Bai failed to ascend to divinity, the Northern Reaches would need the Ice Azure King Scorpion, a top-tier Soul Beast, to guard thend. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm''s actions were cutting off the Northern Reaches'' future! Moreover, where did Huo Yuhao''s Ice Azure Scorpion Spirit Soul''s other eight soul ringse from? The answer was clear: the Northern Reaches, the gathering ce of the world''s strongest ice attribute Soul Beasts! Thinking of the possibility of eight more powerful Northern Reaches Soul Beasts falling to Huo Yuhao, the Snow Empress was even more anxious. She said in a deep voice: "Ling Bai, if they dared to have designs on Bing''er before, and now they''ve killed a ten- thousand-year-old Ice Azure King Scorpion, what if one day that human named Huo Yuhao needs more Northern Reaches Soul Beasts to be a stepping stone on his Path to Divinity? I am very, very, very worried." The Snow Empress repeated the word "very" three times before continuing: "Tianmeng Ice Silkworm''s mental power is the most powerful in the world. If pushed to the extreme, it''s difficult to deal with its self-destruction, but even if you can''t kill them, you must do everything in your power to weaken them. This is not just for the peace of the Northern Reaches, but also because you are both on the Path to Divinity. The resources of the Tang Sect Continent are fixed, and you are naturalpetitors. The survival of the fittest applies to the Soul Beast world just as it does to humans!" At this point, the Snow Empress paused, her tone bing even heavier: "Ling Bai, two lines destined to intersect, if they cannot form a perfect, they will certainly end in countless deadlocks... You cannot allow them to pose even the slightest threat to our Path to Divinity!" "Snow Empress, I understand your kindness and concern. I know exactly what Path to Divinity Huo Yuhao is preparing to take. Last time, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm offered ten-thousand- year-old essence to save its life, and the energy stored in its body has been reduced to nine hundred thousand years. If one, then two, we will... slowly... consume them..." Looking far into the Ultimate Ice Domain, where Huo Yuhao stood confidently, a sh of crimson light appeared in Ling Bai''s eyes, like a demonic spider viewing its prey already entangled in its web, still unaware of its fate, revealing cold and bloodthirsty fangs in the dark! In the Soul Dueling Area, Huo Yuhao suddenly shivered for no reason, muttering: "What''s strange, how can the ultimate ice be cold?" Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Huo Yuhao focused entirely on dealing with Wu Feng and Zhu Lu. The extreme cold environment of the Ultimate Ice Domain greatly enhanced hisbat power, and the strength of the Ice Azure Scorpion allowed him to fight against the Red Dragon and the Netherworld Spirit Cat! "This is what a powerful attack-type Soul Master feels like..." Huo Yuhao felt a sense of exhration. Men enjoy the thrill of closebat and direct attacks rather than hiding behind and casting spells! At this moment, Wu Feng and Zhu Lu were in a terrible state. The terrifying cold released by the Ultimate Ice Domain made their blood seem to freeze, and their bodies, frozen in the posture of attack, could not move. Seeing this, the elder watching from the side smiled in satisfaction. It was not in vain that Shrek Academy had held a Sea God Pavilion meeting specifically for Huo Yuhao five days ago. Domain Soul Skill, Dual Soul Power, Main Body Spirit Beast, Mental Spirit Soul, Ultimate Spirit Soul¡ªthese five buffs made Huo Yuhao no less powerful than Ling Bai''s Six-Winged Angel, qualifying him to be a sessor of Shrek. Huo Yuhao''s weak background was his greatest highlight in Shrek''s eyes. After a discussion among the Sea God Pavilion elders, they decided to fully recruit Huo Yuhao. In just five days, Huo Yuhao was swayed by the grand ns of Shrek Academy, while Ling Bai, after more than a year of enrollment, maintained a normal student-school rtionship. In the battlefield, although he temporarily controlled the two women with the Ultimate Ice Domain, Huo Yuhao did not stop his attack, and the elder did not intervene. During the Ice Azure Scorpion''s possession, Huo Yuhao''s eyes glowed with a vibrant green, a natural phenomenon for a Beast Soul Master in battle. Now, his eyes, including the whites, werepletely transformed into a transparent green, like two shimmering gemstones. To Wu Feng, Zhu Lu, and the seven chosen ones hiding and watching, Huo Yuhao''s body suddenly underwent a strange transformation. A green light as thick as an arm shot out from his right hand. At the moment the green light was emitted, even through clothing, everyone could clearly see Huo Yuhao''s palm bones, arm bones, and even his entire right arm glowing a strong green. The ten-thousand-year-old Ice Azure Scorpion''s right arm soul bone skill, Ice Azure Fury! The ultra-low temperature and impact of the ultimate ice hit Wu Feng and Zhu Lu head-on, sending them flying and deeply embedding them into the ground of the Soul Dueling Area. Ayer of thin ice formed around them, and a cold, eerie chill spread. A double kill in one strike, but just as Huo Yuhao''s eyes were filled with excitement, the ice began to melt, and a bright light erupted from deep within the ground! "A mere Ice Azure Scorpion... your Ice Azure Fury is far inferior to that bastard''s Angelic Sword." A red figure slowly emerged from the light, as if wearing a dragon-scale armor made ofva and mes, with eyes burning a wild, fiery red. Wu Feng! She had found a hot spot within the Ultimate Ice Domain! "Dragon Transformation!?" Huo Yuhao did not recognize Wu Feng''s transformation, but Bei Bei was the first to exim in shock. Theoretically, all Dragon Soul Masters couldplete Dragon Transformation, but so far on the Tang Sect Continent, only the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon lineage had truly achieved stable Dragon Transformation and passed it down as a secret technique. Bei Bei was surprised to find that Wu Feng''s Red Dragon Dragon Transformation was not like the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon, where each level up after level thirty added a new part to the Dragon Transformation. She directly condensed the Dragon Armor Form, which would be more powerful as her strength increased. "Bei Bei, don''t worry about them! I can''t hold out much longer!" Xu San Shi raised his Xuanwu Turtle Shell Shield, blocking five or six attacks and roaring. The ten Soul Respects, enhanced by the Ning Tian Seven Treasures Tower, wereparable to Soul Masters. When Huo Yuhao switched to the Ice Azure Scorpion, they lost the assistance of shared mental detection, and the situation became precarious. "Final trump card!" Bei Bei said two words and instantly activated the Holy Dragon Bloodline within him! "Let''s do it!" Xu San Shi roared to the sky, and the small snakes on his Xuanwu Turtle Shell Shield began to move! The Divine ck Tortoise Bloodline, unleashed! Jiang Nan Nan: "You two get to use your trump cards and not me!?" On the other side, Huo Yuhao locked onto Wu Feng, who was undergoing some strange changes. In the past, every time he saw Wu Feng, she emitted a scorching, explosive aura like a volcano ready to erupt. After the Dragon Transformation, she became calm, her slender and fiery figure appearing even more beautiful under the red glow of the, as if it could set everyone''s hearts on fire. Wu Feng exhaled a breath of scorching heat like a volcano, and her first and second soul rings shed simultaneously, sending a massive pir of fire soaring into the sky, bombarding Huo Yuhao with intense heat! Red Dragon''s first soul skill, Dragon Fire, and second soul skill, Dragon Wrath! Combined soul skill, Dragon Wrath me! "Boom-" The explosion echoed throughout the Soul Dueling Area, and Huo Yuhao, covered in soot, barely managed to get up. Fortunately, the ultimate ice gave him superior resistance to both cold and heat; otherwise, he would have been sent to meet his great-grandmother with a single Dragon Wrath me. Looking around the various battlefields, Huo Yuhao''s heart sank. Among the three Soul Masters, Bei Bei and Xu San Shi had used their ultimate moves but did not gain a decisive advantage. Each elimination of a senior Soul Respect cost them a significant amount of Soul Power, and even when they won, it was a Pyrrhic victory. He Tougou''s Soul Cannon was fierce but had poor uracy and was trapped in the Lan Sisters'' Heavenly Net. Xie Huanyue, relying on his toughness, kept approaching He Tougou, while Ning Tian used two third-tier Soul Conductors from behind, causing He Tougou significant trouble. The third-tier Soul Conductor, Soul Power Exhaustion Beam, doubled the Soul Power consumption rate of the target, striking the Soul Cannon''s weakness. The third-tier Soul Conductor, Illusionary Mist, released a colorful mist that interfered with vision and mental power, significantly reducing He Tougou''s uracy with his Soul Conductors. After studying at the Soul Conductor Academy for several months, Ning Tian had heard that He Tougou, known as the mobile arsenal, favored Soul Cannon tactics. Considering He Tougou was Huo Yuhao''s senior, Ning Tian specifically prepared these two Soul Conductors for him. The effect was excellent! The four Soul Masters were deeply mired and could not spare attention elsewhere. Looking back, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were fighting fiercely with Dai Huabin and Huang Chutian, while Zhu Lu gradually recovered and joined Wu Feng in a nking attack. Huo Yuhao''s heart sank even more. "Wang Dong, Golden Path!" Huo Yuhao shouted, this was their only chance to turn the tide! Wang Dong, hearing Huo Yuhao''s shout, blocked the White Tiger Light Wave with the Light of the Butterfly God and immediately took to the air, elerating to embrace Huo Yuhao tightly before Wu Feng and Zhu Lu could react! The Light of the Butterfly God and the Spirit Eyes, two massive figures merged, emitting a dazzling blue, gold, and purple light that stretched straight ahead, leaving a trail of dazzling and distorted colors in its wake. Their Soul Power burned within them, releasing a surge of energy from their potential,unching their all-or-nothing, strongest attack! The brilliance of withering, the Golden Path! Their target was not Wu Feng and Zhu Lu but the Soul Respects. Huo Yuhao had chosen the angle well, and six Soul Respects stood in a straight line! He knew that as long as Bei Bei and Xu San Shi were free, dealing with the others would be like taking something out of a pocket! "I''ve been waiting for the Golden Path!" Dai Huabin''s eyes gleamed. In the freshmen final, he and Zhu Lu''s Netherworld White Tiger had been ruled a loss by Du Weilun without directly shing with the Golden Path. They had always been, why should the Netherworld White Tiger, renowned for thousands of years, be weaker than the Golden Path!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "Roar!!" The tiger''s roar shook the heavens, and a fierce wind rose. The Netherworld White Tiger charged at the Golden Path, and then... It turned into a golden statue! Talk may be cheap, but a 100% Soul Powerpatibility is no joke! He Tougou''s Soul Power was almost depleted, and thebination of Ning Tian and Xie Huanyue''s Heavenly Net was too effective against him. He used hisst bit of Soul Power to shoot a fourth-tier Soul Conductor at Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, who were unable to resist after the Soul Power Fusion Skill was dissolved. The next second, the elder saved He Tougou, Dai Huabin, and Zhu Lu, signaling their elimination. The Golden Path was held back by the Netherworld White Tiger for only a second, but in that second, a strong Soul Power fluctuation emerged from Ning Tian, converging on the center of his forehead. The Seven Treasures Tower rose in front of him, and his three soul rings merged into one. Secret technique, Fusion Ring! Behind Ning Tian, a faint green shadow appeared, resembling a human woman with snake hair and a coiled tail. Human body, snake tail, the Queen of Snakes, Medusa! Ning Tian''s azure eyes turned a terrifying white, and a white glow spread over them. Two ghastly white beams shot out, heading straight for the Golden Path! The ten-thousand-year-old Medusa''s head soul bone skill, Medusa''s Gaze! Medusa''s Gaze collided with the Golden Path from the side, turning the golden light into a ghastly white. Then, something even more astonishing happened: the intangible energy of the Golden Path transformed into a solid form, a ghastly white stone path crashing to the ground! The Soul Power Fusion Skill was dissolved, and Wu Feng gave Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong a heavy blow each before the elder intervened and took them away. The other battlefields gradually ended, with Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, and Jiang Nan Nan eliminating the ten Soul Respects, but it was a Pyrrhic victory. Bei Bei''s Soul Power was exhausted, and Xu San Shi was weakened after the Xuanwu Bloodline''s burst. Jiang Nan Nan, in slightly better condition, was panting heavily, clearly at the end of her strength. Huang Chutian was defeated by Xiao Xiao, who was then taken down by Wu Feng and Xie Huanyue, both eliminated. Eight people remained in the Soul Dueling Area: Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, Jiang Nan Nan, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Xie Huanyue, and the Lan Sisters. The oue was about to be revealed. Ning Tian''s Fusion Ring Soul Power was depleted, and he was gulping down a milk bottle to recover. The Lan Sisters'' Soul Power Fusion Skill, Heavenly Net, had ended, leaving them with less than ten percent of their fighting strength. Even in their nearly full strength, Xie Huanyue and Wu Feng at thirty percent were too much for Jiang Nan Nan to handle. "Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, what do we do?" she asked with a grim expression. The oppressive aura of the Pi Pi Elephant and Red Dragon Soul Powers was overwhelming, and the others were like ravenous wolves, ready to pounce. "This..." Bei Bei smiled bitterly; they were at their wits'' end. "Elder, I surrender!" A loud voice suddenly rang out. "San Shi /Xu San Shi!" Facing the bewildered looks of his teammates, Xu San Shi shrugged. "I don''t want Nan Nan to risk her life, so I surrender." The oue was decided: Bei Bei, Jiang Nan Nan, Ning Tian, Xie Huanyue, Wu Feng, Lan Susu, and Lan Luolu! "Haha, Ling Bai, Ling Luochen, and I won!" Yao Haoxuan cheered. "You guys just watched us dominate!" "That Red Dragon girl is pretty good; she''ll definitely be the third active volcano in the Inner Academy in the future," Ma Xiaotao praised. Upon hearing this, Gongyang Mo and Yao Haoxuan''s faces showed a hint of cold sweat. Sister, two active volcanoes are already overwhelming; adding another one, will the male students in the Inner Academy even survive? "Ling Bai, why aren''t you saying anything? You should be happy to dominate the tournament!" Yao Haoxuan noticed Ling Bai''s unusual silence. "Do you feel it? The elder''s expression seems a bit grim." The Shrek Seven Monsters all looked over, and indeed, the elder''s brows were knitted, and his expression was extremely grim, foretelling a storm. "You won." The elder left the words and vanished, heading towards the Golden Tree on Sea God Ind, his vast mental power spreading to the elders. "Everyone, I''m convening a Sea God Pavilion meeting!"

A name that shook the heavens and the earth shed through Xiong Mo''s mind. He stared intently at the cold and pure figure by the Snow Mountain Lotus Pool, a drop of crystalline liquid seemingly dripping from his nostrils, which he sucked back forcefully, eximing in shock and anger: "This is the Ice Heavenly Snow Lady, the Snow Empress, the Chief of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Northernmost Land, and the Third in the Top Ten Ferocious Beasts! She actually wants to absorb the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Heavenly Snow Lotus and re-cultivate as a human?" "It''s said that the Snow Empress has survived six great cmities of heaven and earth. She must fetch a good price! Feng Yu, I''ll propose to you when I get back!" Xu Cong''s eyes seemed to be filled only with money and the goddess, fantasizing about sealing the Snow Empress and getting a hundred million gold soul coins to marry Feng Yu. "Madness, sheer madness! This world has gone mad!" Upon hearing these words, Xiong Mo, the Adamantine Douluo, finally gave up all hope. Although both of them were Sealed Douluo-level experts, Xiong Mo had only ny-two soul power levels, and his martial soul attributes were a world apart from the Ice Heavenly Snow Lady. Xu Cong had been forced to leave the Mingde Hall and was targeted by Jing Hongchen and the Sun and Moon Imperial Family, living a life of hardship in the Sun Moon Empire. After barely breaking through to the Ninth-Rank Soul Artisan, he only managed to create a Ninth-Level Spirit Artisan''s Deity Sealing tform with no offensive capabilities. How could they possibly seal the Snow Empress, who wasparable to a Beast Deity Ditian in Ultimate North? "Old Xu, we are no match for the Snow Empress. Let''s stop and leave Ultimate North. Join the Star Luo Imperial Family with me, and my old friend, the Gigantic Strength Douluo Cheng Gang, will introduce us. When we be National Guardian Douluo of the Star Luo Empire, we''ll live a life of luxury and wealth!"n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Xiong Mo whispered, knowing that in the Snow Empress''s eyes, they were no more than two tes of bean sprouts, and killing them would be as easy as stepping on two ants. "Afraid?" Xu Cong turned his head slightly, his gaze full of contempt as he looked at Xiong Mo: "I''ve heard that people from the three great empires are as timid as mice and have shallow knowledge. Today, I see that it''s true!" "You!" Xiong Mo clenched his fists, his muscles bulging like coiled dragons, a sh of ferocity in his eyes. Xu Cong paid no attention to Xiong Mo''s anger and said proudly, "No matter how powerful a soul beast is, once it re-cultivates, it will abandon all its cultivation and grow up again as a human child. The Snow Empress is even more special. As a super ferocious beast, she should have lost her chance to re-cultivate. Even if the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Heavenly Snow Lotus allows her to be reborn, she will still lose all her cultivation. Moreover, people from the three great empires don''t understand what soul conductors are or what a Ninth-Rank Soul Artisan can do! I may not be worthy of the title of First Soul Artisan of the Continent, but as the First Sealing- Type Soul Artisan of the Continent, I, Xu Cong, am second to none! The Ninth-Level Spirit Artisan''s Deity Sealing tform is the culmination of my life''s work. Once inside the God Ascension tform, the Snow Empress won''t be able to self-destruct! Xiong Mo, the core area of Ultimate North is bitterly cold, and we''ve endured for over a month. A Sealed Douluo would have frozen to death long ago! An opportunity to change our fate is right in front of us. Are you willing to give up so easily? The mantis catches the cicada, but the oriole is behind. Once the Snow Empress, the mantis, loses her soul power, it will be our turn, the orioles, to act!" "...Xu Cong, I''ll trust you this one time!" Xu Cong''s words were highly persuasive, and Xiong Mo decided to take onest shot, risking his life to seal the Snow Empress for a lifetime of wealth and honor. A gambler never retreats! The two approached the barrier and waited patiently for the right moment. The Snow Mountain Lotus Pool flowed with clear and icy cold spring water, several snow lotuses floating quietly. A pair of delicate hands lifted the most vibrant Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Heavenly Snow Lotus from the center of the lotus pool. The Snow Empress gazed at the exquisitely crafted Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Heavenly Snow Lotus in her hand, her sky-blue eyes pure and clear, as if they could see through everything in the world. Her slender and graceful figure in a pure white dress, her white hair fluttering in the cold wind, exuded an aura of majesty. "If not sessful, then death." The Snow Empress''s voice was light, yet filled with an unparalleled determination. She took onest look at Ultimate North, which she had guarded for nearly seven hundred thousand years. Suddenly, a corner of the ice clouds that had never dispersed in the core area of Ultimate North copsed, and the serene moonlight shone on the iceyer, casting a fine phosphorescence. Snowkes asrge as goose feathers danced in the wind, filling a ten-mile radius of the icy world. "Sword Palm Orders the Heaven and Earth Cold, Imperial Sword, Imperial Palm, Imperial Cold Heaven, Snow Dance Radiant Sun!" Even a Sealed Douluo would be stunned by such a scene. Xiong Mo and Xu Cong had heard of Domain-Type Spirit Skills, but the Imperial Cold Heaven of the Snow Empress seemed to have transcended the realm of soul skills, reaching a state of perfection. Under the natural amplification of Ultimate North, it touched the threshold of divinity. The already extremely low temperature in the core area of Ultimate North dropped even further at an rming rate. Xu Cong''s Eighth-Level Soul Conductor protective shield began to struggle, the pale purple soul power light flickering like a candle in the wind and snow. The Snow Dance Radiant Sun had transformed the area near the Snow Mountain Lotus Pool into a forbidden zone. The core area of Ultimate North was rarely visited by humans, and soul beasts would retreat far away upon sensing her presence. With the barrier and the Imperial Cold Heaven as double protection, the Snow Empress believed everything was safe and began her re-cultivation to transform into a human. A dazzling white light shone, surpassing even the moon''s brilliance. The energy of the Ten- Thousand-Year Ice Heavenly Snow Lotus flowed into the Snow Empress''s seven orifices, her vast soul power not increasing but visibly decreasing. The exquisite and beautiful figure that embodied the beauty of the Ultimate North transformed from a mature and sensual woman to a young girl, then to a cute and adorable child, and finally into a white, gaseous embryo. The re-cultivation went smoothly, and the white gaseous embryo was about to enter the Snow Mountain Lotus Pool to be nurtured. There were still several Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Heavenly Snow Lotus flowers inside, enough to support her development into a young girl with somebat ability, before she would absorb the necessary "human qi" in the human empire to continue her re-cultivation. Just as the Snow Empress was about to fall asleep, a colorful, rectangr shadow suddenly appeared, silently and without resistance, trapping the Snow Empress within the rectangr shadow. "Old Xiong, how''s my world-renowned First Sealing-Type Ninth-Rank Soul Tool?" "Deserving of its name! Truly deserving!" The Snow Empress''s re-cultivation naturally could not maintain the Imperial Cold Heaven and the barrier. The two figures quickly crossed the snow and wind to reach the Snow Mountain Lotus Pool. The rectangr shadow condensed into the God Ascension tform, which fell into Xu Cong''s palm. The Ninth-Rank Soul Tool had over a hundred rare metal gems embedded in its four walls, and on the wooden tray, the white gaseous embryo struggled to break free. The gems and wood emitted a pale golden light, and Xu Cong''s boast was not exaggerated; even the third most ferocious beast, the Snow Empress, could not break through the God Ascension tform! "These Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus flowers are all heavenly treasures. Each one can easily fetch a million gold soul coins. Let''s quickly collect them all. I''ll keep one for proposing to Feng Yu, and we''ll sell the rest to the Starlight Auction House!" Xu Cong was so excited he could hardly contain himself. In life, it all boiled down to money, power, and beauty, and the goddess and a hundred million gold soul coins were calling to him. As for power... a Ninth-Rank Soul Artisan and the former chief researcher of the Mingde Hall of the three great empires would be treated like a deity by any faction in the three great empires! "Brother Xu, congrattions on achieving your goal!" Xiong Mo opened his arms, smiling broadly, ready to give Xu Cong a victory hug. Xu Congughed and stepped forward, and their chests collided heavily. "Puh... Uh!" A burst of golden light suddenly erupted, followed by the sound of fabric tearing, bones breaking, and blood spewing. Xiong Mo tightly embraced Xu Cong, like a passionate hug between two close brothers. However, Xiong Mo''s muscles had swollen to twice their size, his body covered in thick brown fur, and his brownish-yellow eyes exuded a domineering aura. Two yellow, two purple, and five ck soul rings pulsed around his body. Martial Soul Embodiment, Gigantic Strength Golden Bear! Xu Cong''s Eighth-Level Triggered Soul Conductor protective shield had already activated, but it couldn''t stop the close-range attack of the Gigantic Strength Golden Bear Sealed Douluo. Xu Cong''s arms broke instantly. "Brother Xu, Brother Xu... You are truly my benefactor for life!" Xiong Mo patted Xu Cong''s back, and thetter spat outrge amounts of scalding blood, which froze instantly in the cold of Ultimate North, forming beautiful blood flowers. "The mantis catches the cicada, but the oriole is behind. Who is the mantis, and who is the oriole?" Xiong Mo let go, and Xu Cong fell to the ground, the five deep w marks on his back shocking and frightening. The thick, pungent blood stained his clothes, and his eyes turned a deathly gray. "Xiong Mo... I''ll never let you off, even in death..." Xu Cong held the God Ascension tform, knowing he couldn''t hold on much longer, but he still mustered his soul power to create a golden light shield. Xiong Mo struck with all his strength, but to his surprise, he was repelled by the golden light shield. He shouted in anger: "Invincible Shield? Are you insane? Why are you disgusting me at this moment?" The Invincible Shield was a soul conductor''s ultimate life-saving tool. Even a Sealed Douluo''s Invincible Shield would make even a Limit Douluo helpless. "Come in, then?" Xu Cong taunted. "The Invincible Shield consumes the most soul power. I''ll see how long you can hold it!" Xiong Mo''s sneer had not faded when, unexpectedly, a magical scythe drew a perfect crescent in the air. "Ahhh-" The Death Prison Scythe cut from the right shoulder de to the left waist, and Xiong Mo''s scream was deafening! "The mantis catches the cicada, but the oriole is behind. Well said." Using the disguise of the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty to conceal his presence, Ling Bai sessfully ambushed Xiong Mo. He tightly gripped the Death Prison Scythe, and the extreme death and spider emperor''s venom from the Death Prison Spider Emperor fiercely invaded Xiong Mo''s Gigantic Strength Golden Bear body. "Find death!" Xiong Mo roared, his right arm glowing with a silvery-white light that quickly spread over his entire body, giving his powerful muscles a diamond-like luster under the cold, icy sky of Ultimate North! Feeling Xiong Mo''s muscles turn into arge mouth, Ling Bai knew he had alleviated the invasion of extreme death and quickly withdrew the Death Prison Scythe before it was bitten by the muscles, sighing: "Your soul bone saved your life." "So you''re the one who''s going to suffer!" Xiong Mo grinned ferociously. His Eighth Soul Ring was from a fifty-thousand-year-old diamond mammoth, and he had incredibly obtained a right arm soul bone, granting him the skill Crystal Diamond Body, which gave him a diamond-hard body and temporarily shielded pain! The Seventh and Eighth Soul Rings glowed brightly, and Xiong Mo, in a rage, wanted to crush Ling Bai to dust! Seventh Soul Skill: Gigantic Strength Golden Bear True Body! Eighth Soul Skill: Adamantine King Body! The ten-meter-tall Gigantic Strength Golden Bear was incredibly robust, covered in gleaming golden fur that reflected a metallic sheen. The most striking feature was the pair of sharp, one-foot-long bear ws that glinted with a cold light. With the True Body, the Eighth Soul Skill Adamantine King Body, and the soul bone skill Crystal Diamond Body, Xiong Mo felt invincible, with a defenseparable to a Ny- Fifth-Level Defensive Sealed Douluo! Nine soul rings-two yellow, two purple, and five ck-rotated around the bear''s body. The First, Third, and Sixth Soul Rings lit up simultaneously, and Ling Bai felt his body be heavy, as if the pressure from all directions was trying to crush him. A strange cross symbol appeared on his forehead. Gigantic Strength Golden Bear''s First Soul Skill: Gravity Enhancement; Third Soul Skill: Gravity Compression; Sixth Soul Skill: Lockdown! The Gigantic Strength Golden Bear tookrge strides toward the small figure on the ground, his face filled with anger and killing intent, his bear ws raised high, as if saying, "I''ll crush you with one swipe!" The Death Prison Spider Emperor''s ultimate talent, the Undying Body, stood firm. The Gravity Compression had no effect on Ling Bai, who had absorbed the Life and Death Fusion of the Spirit Gold. He drew a crimson six-pointed star in the air, and a crimson gate opened! Necromancy Magic: Summoning! "Roar-" A deafening dragon roar echoed through Ultimate North as a massive, pale shadow emerged from the Gate of the Dead. Xiong Mo''s feet skidded to a stop, and he looked up at the enormous Bone Dragon beside Ling Bai, his eyes filled with terror. Under the gaze of the dragon''s eyes, which contained mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the Adamantine Douluo Xiong Mo, the Ninth-Rank Soul Artisan Xu Cong inside the Invincible Shield, and the Snow Empress inside the God Ascension tform all felt a tidal wave of fear. Xiong Mo, who was facing it head-on, was overwhelmed by extreme terror! Xiong Mo stopped, but Ling Bai did not. Once he decided to betray, he would go all the way. The Death Prison Scythe merged with the Ny-Fifth-Level Bone Dragon, the strongest in the necrotic demine, and the Bone Dragon''s aura surged! Bone Fusion Technique! The Death Prison Bone Dragon! Simr to the Ultimate Transformation of an ultimate martial soul, the Bone Dragon, fused with the Death Prison Scythe, gained the death attributes of the Death Prison Spider Emperor. Its pale white ws turned a pure blood red, like the scythe of death. Xiong Mo, recovering from his shock, felt the terrifying, bloodthirsty aura of the Death Prison Bone Dragon and was filled with a sense of desperation. His Ninth Soul Ring, thest one, glowed, and the Gigantic Strength Golden Bear unleashed two massive, golden palm shadows. Ninth Soul Skill: Adamantine Palm! The Ninth Soul Skill of a Sealed Douluo was incredibly powerful. The Adamantine Palm''s palm wind dispersed the snow and wind of the Ultimate North. Under the effect of the Sixth Soul Skill Lockdown, it aimed straight for Ling Bai''s head! Facing Xiong Mo''s desperate attack, Ling Bai smiled contemptuously. The Death Prison Bone Dragon coiled around him, one w protecting its master, while the other massive, blood- red w reached out to grab the Adamantine Palm! Between the Death Prison Bone Dragon''s ws, a blood-red mark formed, filled with the cries and screams of countless tortured souls, emitting a surge of resentment and killing intent. When this blood-red mark formed, Xiong Mo was almost paralyzed with fear. Second Soul Skill of the Death Prison Spider Emperor: Extreme Punishment! With the Bone Fusion Technique, the Death Prison Bone Dragon could use the soul skills of the Death Prison Spider Emperor! The Death Prison Bone Dragon, with unmatched strength, sent the Adamantine Palm and Xiong Mo flying. The Gigantic Strength Golden Bear crashed into the icy ground like a meteor, causing the mountain to tremble and blood to stter. Xiong Mo was covered in blood, his eyes filled with confusion and terror as he watched the approaching Death Prison Bone Dragon. "No, no, no... Spare me, spare me..." The Death Prison Bone Dragon turned its body, and Xiong Mo''s eyes filled with hope. The next second, the dragon''s tail, like a pale white whip,shed out, the Divine Dragon Tail Sweep! The snow along its path turned to powder, and Xiong Mo''s body was torn apart, raining blood over Ultimate North! At that moment, the Invincible Shield''s time ran out, revealing the severely injured Xu Cong. The God Ascension tform rolled to the ground, and with a crisp crack, a clear crack appeared on the magnificent Ninth-Rank Soul Tool. "" Ling Bai was silent for a second, then hesitated and asked, "Was it intentional, or an ident?" "I came to take you with me to death." Facing death, Xu Cong remained calm: "Xiong Mo is a scoundrel, and you, an evil soul master, are no different. On the road to theherworld, I''ll wait for you." "Crack, crack, crack!" The temperature of the Snow Mountain Lotus Pool dropped at an rming rate, and a wisp of white, gaseous smoke escaped through the crack in the God Ascension tform, instantly freezing Xu Cong into an ice sculpture! The God Ascension tform broke! The Snow Empress descended!

The woman''s shrill scream apanied the shattering of the Ninth-Level Spirit Artisan''s Deity Sealing tform. Ultimate Snow instantly erupted in the Snow Mountain Lotus Pool, the bone-chilling cold sweeping over Ling Bai''s body. Throughout his journey, Ling Bai had used Ultimate Death to kill the Ice Element, barely suffering from the extreme cold of Ultimate North. Now, however, he could actually feel the cold, his body and soul seemingly frozen, and the soul power flowing within him bing sluggish. The white vapor burst out of the Deity Sealing tform and immediately transformed from an embryo into the Snow Empress''s original form, her skin as fair as snow, embodying the essence of the north, like a winter plum blossom blooming in the frigid Ultima Thule. Feather-like snowkes drifted down, and the Snow Dance Radiant Sun descended. Ling Bai stood on the head of the Death Prison Bone Dragon, his expression as calm as water, showing no emotional in the face of the ultimate ruler of the north, the Snow Empress. However, the crimson soul fire in the eyes of the Death Prison Bone Dragon burned more fiercely, the blood-red light spots standing out in the snowy world. "Snow Empress, your posturing is futile. Forcibly terminating your reformation has inevitably injured your essence. How much soul power do you have left in your body now?" Ling Bai''s clear voice spread in all directions, and in the swirling snow, came the Snow Empress''s furious roar. "The soul power I have left is enough to y you!" The Snow Empress had ruled the Ultimate North for nearly 700,000 years, and all beasts bowed to her. When had she ever been provoked by a human? The Snow Dance Radiant Sun began to contract, the speed of the falling snow tripling, the edges sharp like des, swirling towards Ling Bai. Even a slight graze from the snowkes would be enough to strip the flesh from his bones, let alone the Death Prison Bone Dragon, which would lose ayer of bone powder! The Death Prison Bone Dragon raised its head and let out a dragon''s roar that shook the heavens. The intense Ultimate Death,bined with the Death Prison Spider Emperor''s innate Realm of Death, forcibly carved out a blood-red territory within the Snow Empress''s innate realm. The Snow Empress felt an immense humiliation. In her white jade-like palm, a sky-blue long sword condensed. The Snow Empress''s three supreme techniques: Imperial Sword Ice Supreme! The ice supreme unleashed a hundred-meter-long sword beam, and the Death Prison Bone Dragon''s blood-red dragon ws, fused with the Death Prison Scythe, condensed the mark of the Nether Emperor''s Extreme Punishment. The two extreme attributes collided fiercely. The earth was torn open by a crack of sky-blue and blood-red, as if a single sword had split the perennial ice of the Ultimate North in two. From his position atop the Death Prison Bone Dragon, Ling Bai could clearly see the cross-section of the earth. At this moment, the Snow Empress''s figure, hidden within the Snow Dance Radiant Sun, suddenly appeared above the Death Prison Bone Dragon, her fair hand glowing with a brilliant light! The Imperial Palm, Great Cold Without Snow! "Snow Empress, think carefully. If you strike with this palm, the conflict between the Ultimate North and me will be to the death." As soon as he finished speaking, the Snow Empress actually paused. She silently gazed into his pitch-ck eyes, seeing a sea of corpses and a surging wave of killing intent. The nearby air pressure seemed to drop, and the Snow Empress knew it wasn''t an illusion. It was a real phenomenon, as if a monster far more terrifying than the Death Prison Bone Dragon was quietly watching her, waiting for the Great Cold Without Snow tond, and then it would unleash a¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á¡Á. Great Cold Without Snow''s light had not yet faded, and the Snow Empress snorted coldly, saying, "Do you think the Empress will be threatened by a human?" "You should understand that your essence is severely injured, and your soul power is in chaos. Even with the advantage of the Ultimate North, you still cannot defeat the Death Prison Bone Dragon, who shares the same extreme attribute." Ling Bai exuded a deathly aura of disaster and misfortune. He did not panic or flee but boldly walked down the skull of the Death Prison Bone Dragon to stand just one meter away from the Snow Empress. The two of them stared at each other, one smiling and the other coldly angry. "If it weren''t for me, this despicable and shameless human, you would have been sold to the human world in your most vulnerable embryonic form, bing a soul ring or soul bone for some soul master. Theoretically, I am your savior, am I not?" Ling Bai''s smile was colder than the raging snow and wind of the Ultimate North. "To forget kindness and repay it with enmity, your race will pay the price in blood." The Snow Empress fell silent. A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Ling Bai''s tone was forceful, but he had indeed saved her. "Why don''t you just let it out and strike with the Great Cold Without Snow?" Ling Bai counted on his fingers, calcting for the Snow Empress, "The Ice Empress will face her fourth Heavenly Tribtion within a hundred years, with almost zero chance of survival. Your 700,000-year Heavenly Tribtion should havee earlier than the Ice Empress''s, otherwise, you wouldn''t have absorbed the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Heavenly Snow Lotus and failed to re-form as a human, suffering a severe injury to your essence. To be honest, you don''t even have the Ice Empress''s chance; the word ''death'' is already shining brightly on your forehead. I will return to the Douluo Continent and devote myself to cultivation for a hundred years. By the time you and the Ice Empress die in the Heavenly Tribtion, do you think the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King can stop me? You can rest assured, I guarantee that the Ultimate North will cease to exist, and I will shake each soul egg until the yolk is scattered." As he spoke, the Snow Empress''s slender figure trembled for a moment, and the light of the Great Cold Without Snow that had been building up vanished. Instead, she summoned her soul power and threw the remaining seven Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Heavenly Snow Lotus from the lotus pool to Ling Bai. Calming down, she sighed, "You may leave. I will act as if you never came to the Ultimate North." The Snow Empress conceded defeat. In her current poor state, the Great Cold Without Snow could not kill Ling Bai and the Death Prison Bone Dragon, and Ling Bai''s threat hit the mark. After a hundred years, when the Ice and Snow Empresses fall, Ling Bai will break through to the 99th level of soul power, and the ultimate Douluo of Ultimate Death will be terrifying beyond words. The Ice Bear King and the Titan Snow Demon King would certainly be whipped and beaten, and a rash move could bring a catastrophic disaster to the Ultimate North, which is not what the ruler of the north wants to see. "Plop."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om The snow lotuses fell back into the Snow Mountain Lotus Pool, sshing up several water droplets. The Snow Empress''s sky-blue eyes showed a hint of confusion as she said, "This is the ice snow lotus I spent tens of thousands of years cultivating, containing the ultimate ice attribute. There is no more precious natural treasure in the entire Ultimate North. Consider it a small token of my gratitude." She thought Ling Bai did not recognize its value and was disdainful of the ice snow lotuses. "The snow lotuses are rare, but thinking of the one who cultivated them being gone, holding them seems meaningless." Ling Bai slowly revealed his true intentions. To plot against a soul beast emperor like the Snow Empress, one must use both threats and kindness, gradually building a rtionship, which is the best strategy. Hearing this, the Snow Empress actually shook her head and smiled, saying, "You are an interesting human. My death would be a great blessing for humans, eliminating a formidable enemy." "Yes, so you should consider your afterlife. What will happen to the Ice Empress when you die? With the sessive falls of the Ice and Snow Empresses, what will happen to the Ultimate North? As human soul conductors rapidly develop, soul masters will eventually invade the Ultimate North with their soul conductors. The Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King cannot hold out, and they will likely end up as test subjects for the Deity Sealing tform and other soul conductors, just like you almost did. Snow Empress, you don''t want the Ice Empress and the Ultimate North to meet this fate, do you?" Mentioning the Deity Sealing tform, the Snow Empress felt a tinge of mncholy. The ninth-level soul conductor, which even prevented her from self-destructing, left a deep impression on her. She and Ling Bai could be considered acquaintances after their initial confrontation, and she asked tentatively, "Can you tell me about the current development of human soul conductors?" "Rapidly advancing. If you are gone, the Ultimate North will surely fall within ten thousand years." "Ten thousand years..." Ten thousand years seems long, but for soul beasts, it is but a blink of an eye. Ling Bai said solemnly, "The path of reformation is now cut off. Snow Empress, have you considered another path?" "What do you suggest?" the Snow Empress asked curiously. "The Ultimate North is connected to the sea. Have you heard of the King of Mighty White Sharks, one of the sea''s rulers?" The Snow Empress''s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. "A Deity-protected holy beast, apanying two generations of Sea Gods in their growth." "Ten thousand years ago, when the heavens changed and the Deity emerged, the mighty white sharks became the sea''s holy beasts, and two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest gained immortality alongside the Deity." Pausing here, Ling Bai continued in a deeper, more seductive voice, "Snow Empress, the life of a deity is infinite, but the Divine Realm has ced a Bloodline Restriction on soul beasts, forever preventing them from bing deities! Even the ten great beasts, the ice and snow maiden of the Ultimate North, and the 100,000-Year Beast God Di Tian, are destined to die in the Heavenly Tribtion! I know you want to change, to re-form as a human and change your race to fight for a sliver of hope for yourself and the soul beasts of the Ultimate North. Unfortunately, you failed. But Snow Empress, you have met me. This is your fortune and mine as well. Together, we can open the path to deification!" Behind him, the snow clouds spread like a tide across the sky. Ling Bai stood atop the Death Prison Bone Dragon, immovable in the blizzard, like a towering mountain. At this moment, the Snow Empress''s beautiful face showed little expression, cold as ice, making one feel she would spit out a ''get lost'' at any moment. But the breathtaking, ethereal beauty could not be concealed. She said slowly, "The path to deification, you speak of it so lightly. I do not deny that soul beasts cannot be deities, but how many deities have humans produced throughout history? If you want to cooperate with me, show some sincerity." Ling Bai suddenly smiled, for the Snow Empress was moved. Two beams of light rose behind him, a golden six-winged angel and a purple-ck Death Prison Spider Emperor. Though his soul power was a mere drop in the oceanpared to the Snow Empress''s, the suppression from the life essence made the Snow Empress exim involuntarily, "Divine... Might!" "You know your stuff." Ling Bai dissipated the light, and the Snow Empress subconsciously raised her hand, as if trying to grasp the fleeting moment of divinity. She waspletely moved and asked, "Are you a deity''s sessor? What deity? How can we cooperate?" The Snow Empress, nearing the end of her life, was concerned about the Ice Empress and the Ultimate North she had guarded for a lifetime. Ling Bai''s offer of hope was too bright, and it was no wonder he stood here with such confidence. He had found her weak point! "Cooperation is based on trust. I don''t intend to hide anything from you to avoid future conflicts," Ling Bai said. "My Divine Majesty includes the Angel Deity and the Raksha God. The Angel Deity''s position shattered ten thousand years ago, and the Divine Realm is unlikely to have any deity willing to pass on their position to the direct lineage of another deity. The Raksha God''s position still exists, but the previous Raksha God died an unnatural death, and I am not sure where the position is. Rebuilding the Angel Deity''s position and finding the Raksha God''s position may not be easy, but at least there is a direction and a hope. Follow me and be a unique... rare Intelligent Soul Ring in the history of the Douluo Continent. Provide soul skills while preserving your soul, and together, we will walk the path to deification. If we lose, consider me your Heavenly Tribtion. If we win, the Ultimate North will be and of peace, and you can forever protect thend you love." The Snow Empress fell into deep thought, her teeth lightly biting her red lips. There is no free lunch or great bargain in the world. Before reaping the rewards, one must make sacrifices. Her 700,000-year Heavenly Tribtion would descend in ten years, and that time was not enough to restore her essence. Bing an Intelligent Soul Ring and cooperating with this human, who possesses Divine Majesty, seemed like an excellent method. "We can cooperate, and I can be an Intelligent Soul Ring." The Snow Empress made her decision decisively, her sky-blue eyes shining brightly, and she said firmly, "On the condition that you must sign a Soul Contract with me. First, you must guarantee that everything you said is true. Second, you must not harm any soul beast in the Ultimate North without cause. Third, if we fail to be deities together, I will not me you; it will be our destiny. But I ask you to guard the Ultimate North for another hundred years, and if you can help the Ice Empress through her 400,000-year Heavenly Tribtion, it would be much appreciated. By the Ice Deity, the Snow Empress swears by the name of ice that if these conditions are epted, we will berades. If I vite them, may all that belongs to ice be stripped away by the Ice Deity." The soul beasts of the Ultimate North are the children of the Ice Deity. The Snow Empress made the heaviest oath a soul beast could make. As the ruler of the Ultimate North, her life was secondary; she wanted to secure more protection for the Ultimate North. Ling Bai chuckled, removing the disguise of his charming appearance, revealing his true face with golden hair and golden eyes. The Snow Empress''s eyes widened. Seriously, do humans have so many tricks up their sleeve that they change their faces when they go out? "My name is Ling Bai. Since we will share life and death, it is only right to show my true face." The aurora seemed to coat Ling Bai''s golden eyes with the color of the heavens. When their gazes met, the Snow Empress saw the rising golden sun in his clear eyes. The image of the sun rising in the east. Great talent. For a moment, the Snow Empress suddenly felt, without any reason, that Ling Bai was destined to be a deity. Ling Bai drew a gray scroll in the air, inscribing the three conditions of the Snow Empress. Necromancy, Soul Contract. The Snow Empress nodded lightly after reading it, indicating no issues. Subsequently, the two left their mental imprints on the Soul Contract and swore together, "Ling Bai (Snow Empress) wishes to sign a Soul Contract with Snow Empress (Ling Bai). Snow Empress will be an Intelligent Soul Ring, assisting Ling Bai on the path to deification. Ling Bai will not betray Snow Empress and will not harm the people of the Ultimate North. If we fail, he will guard the Ultimate North for a hundred years, and if he has the strength, he will help the Ice Empress through her Heavenly Tribtion. I will swear solemnly, willing to give up my life. If I betray, may the heavens, the earth, and the spirits punish me severely!"

Both could feel a new rule and connection forming in their souls, binding them together in life and death, sharing weal and woe. The Soul Contract isplete! Seeing this, Ling Bai''s tense back finally rxed. He had managed to persuade Snow Empress, which not only meant binding a super fierce beast but also securing the Ultimate North lineage as the most reliable ally. "Snow Empress, with you by my side in the future, my chances of reestablishing the Angel God Position will increase by at least twenty percent." Ling Bai rarely opened up to others, especially about matters concerning the god position. He had always kept it a secret from Jianmu Douluo and Ning Fengya, not out of distrust, but because they couldn''t help even if they knew. "Tell me more." Snow Empress crossed her arms, ready to listen intently. She naturally wanted to understand Ling Bai''s n, as it concerned her, Ice Empress, and the Ultimate North''s fate. Ling Bai''s gaze drifted far away, and he said calmly, "If I am to inherit the Angel God position, I must be prepared in advance to deal with any God King from the Divine Realm who might target me. Reestablishing the Angel God Position is difficult to talk about, and even more difficult to achieve, because a First-ss God is no match for a God King. We need to take it to the next level. Be bold; let''s create an Angel God King." Snow Empress''s expression froze. Her understanding of the Divine Realm came from the Ice God''s Legacy, where the five God Kings were the rulers, and the gap between a First-ss God and a God King was insurmountable. Ling Bai''s ambition was not just bold but audacious, speaking of the most shocking things in the calmest tone! After a few seconds to process Ling Bai''s hidden madness, despite her strength being several levels higher than Ling Bai''s, Snow Empress, who was a veteran in the path to divinity, asked seriously, "Is the n mature?" Ling Bai smiled mysteriously, not directly answering Snow Empress''s question but mentioning something else, "Did you know that the First Generation Sea God and the Angel God were mere mortals before they ascended to divinity?" "And then?" Snow Empress pressed. "One conquered the sea, the other redeemed humanity, and both created their own god positions and ascended to the upper realms. Of course, they were First-ss Gods. Even with the fragmented Angel God Position as a foundation, what we are about to do will be much more challenging." Snow Empress nodded slightly, "How can I assist you?" "Ice Green Scorpion, Titan Snow Demon, Ice Bear, Ice Ant, Ice Silkworm... animals, insects, nts... In the Ultimate North, the Beast God is not called Imperial Heaven. Snow Empress, behind you stands the countless soul beasts of the Ultimate North. The soul beasts of the Ultimate North are the most united in the world and can be the most steadfast source of faith." "Faith... I see." Snow Empress suddenly understood. No wonder Ling Bai said she could increase his chances of bing an Angel God King by twenty percent. With her, he would have the full faith of the Ultimate North''s inhabitants. Faith is tied to the strength and number of believers, and due to the harsh environment and minimal human interference, the average strength of the soul beasts in the Ultimate North even surpasses that of the Star Dou Forest! "You are the first step, and we have the second, third... steps. I want to tell you that reestablishing the Angel God Position and finding the Rakshasa God Position are not empty words. We will proceed step by step, and achieving divinity is just around the corner!" Perhaps Ling Bai had a talent for public speaking. A flush of red appeared on Snow Empress''s fair face. She felt the confidence and determination in the human''s words, and the bright future of the Ultimate North seemed within reach! Suppressing her excitement, Snow Empress cleared her throat and said, "We''ll talk about the futureter. When we signed the Soul Contract, you asked me to be an Intelligent Soul Ring. How exactly do we do that?" "Soul beasts can contribute soul rings while retaining their intelligence. The idea of the Intelligent Soul Ring came from arge insect," Ling Bai exined. "But your situation is different. It found a host with a perfectly matching attribute, and together they became a powerful Intelligent Soul Ring. My dual soul powers are Ultimate Holiness and Ultimate Death, which are vastly different from your Ultimate Snow. Offering a soul ring for either of my soul powers would be a waste, squandering both your potential and a soul ring slot. However, a soul master''s seventh soul ring can absorb any attribute of a soul beast, and the soul skill obtained is always the soul beast''s true form. If you be my seventh soul ring, it will be a 690,000-year-old true form, unprecedented and unparalleled." "It''s feasible." Snow Empress agreed but then added, "When we signed the contract, I sensed your true soul power, which is at level 54, far from level 70. I''ll give you the soul bone first, and the soul ring and soul will reside in your Spirit Sea. This will allow my power to take effect sooner and make it easier for me to apany you to the human world." "Bone first, then the ring, that works. But you won''t have a chance to change your mind," Ling Bai said meaningfully. "You insult this Empress!?" Snow Empress''s voice turned cold, "If I''ve decided to do something, I''ll do it with all my might, no turning back! Quickly, which soul bone position do you want?" She could control the form of her soul bone, leaving the choice to Ling Bai. "Can it be an external soul bone? How about a Snow Empress sword?" Ling Bai''s eyes gleamed, dreaming of the invincible power of dual swords! "You..." Snow Empress was momentarily speechless, finally managing to say, "Can you be a bit more reasonable? Choose one of the six conventional positions!" An external soul bone is a challenge for humanoid soul beasts. How can it be transformed?! Tell me how to transform it! Snow Empress''s defenses were breached! Ling Bai looked at Snow Empress with regret, analyzing seriously, "The six soul bone positions are the torso, head, and limbs. Ice and Snow Maiden is the spirit of the Ultimate North, possessing the unique Ultimate Snow attribute. Theoretically, the best soul bone positions are the torso and head. However, your two best abilities, Imperial Sword Ice Supreme and Imperial Palm Great Cold Without Snow, are released by condensing soul power in the arm. Therefore, I hope you can be my left arm soul bone." Ice and Snow Maiden''s left arm soul bone! Furthermore, Ling Bai had his own ideas for the torso and head soul bones. For the torso soul bone, he would find a super fierce beast with a matching attribute, and for the head soul bone, he would absorb a mental-type soul beast over ten thousand years old. "Alright." Snow Empress didn''t want to tangle with this insatiable guy any longer. She flew to the top of the Dead Prison Bone Dragon and grabbed Ling Bai''s left hand. The snow-white skin, smooth and stic, felt cool and silky, like the finest silk in the world, a sensation that many single men could only imagine! Snow Empress didn''t let Ling Bai enjoy it for long. Her palm glowed with a pure white light, and Ling Bai''s body suddenly trembled violently. His left hand burst with a gush of blood as Snow Empress''s palm, sharp like an ice de, pierced through his skin, flesh, and finally embedded deeply into his bone. At the same time, Snow Empress became translucent, and her 690,000-year-old soul power surged through their connected palms, breaking through Ling Bai''s body and Spirit Sea like a flood. "Is it snowing?" In the vibrant Spirit Sea, Ilex looked up at the sky. Snowkes fell softly, adding a touch of coolness to the Spirit Sea. A blood-red sun appeared in the sky, with six golden lines etched on it, and the seventh line faintly visible. Snow Empress soul ring! "Elder Ilex, give her Life Gold!" Ling Bai''s voice trembled, struggling to contain the soul ring far beyond his limits, a pain that humans could not endure. Ilex instantly understood Ling Bai''s thoughts. She floated to the Snow Empress soul ring, grabbed it with her right hand, and the Spirit Sea surged, with green-golden light points converging into a Life Gold drop the size of a teardrop, containing the life force of the million-year-old soul beast, the Heavenly Snow Silk Worm. The Life Gold gradually merged with the Snow Empress soul ring, making the seventh golden line clearer. Outside, Ling Bai''s skin turned shockingly pale, almost indistinguishable from the snow of the Ultimate North. Liquid-like white threads spread from his left hand, climbing up his left arm like a pure white flower. Looking at the increasingly transparent Snow Empress, Ling Bai chuckled, "I didn''t expect the mighty Snow Empress to be so childish." Snow Empress could have been gentler, injecting soul power gradually, but she chose the quickest and most painful method for both of them! Snow Empress''s beautiful face contorted in pain as she separated her soul ring and soul bone,pressing her soul power. The pain she endured was no less than Ling Bai''s. Seeing Ling Bai manage tough, Snow Empress forced herself to look unpained, gritting her teeth, "Aren''t you in pain?" "Painful to the point of death." "Then scream!" Snow Empress refused to let her will, cultivated over hundreds of thousands of years, be outdone by a human. "Why scream? This is the path to bing a powerhouse. I... enjoy it..." Ling Bai sped Snow Empress''s hand, actively absorbing her soul power! The soul beast form of Ice and Snow Maiden dissipated, and in thest second before merging with Ling Bai''s Spirit Sea, Snow Empress silently thought: Perhaps meeting him is my good fortune. After absorbing the Life Gold, the Spirit Sea was rejuvenated, lush and vibrant, glowing like an emerald sculpture. The central lifeke was misty and ethereal. By theke, a white figure fluttered, like a clear breeze in the mortal world. The light highlighted the woman''s extraordinary beauty, transcendent and pure, her smile a glimpse of celestial grace. Ilexnded, her blood-red soul ring gaining the seventh golden line. The Life Gold''s immense life force healed the original injury from Snow Empress''s failed cultivation, pushing her to break through the 700,000-year mark. The difference between 690,000 and 700,000 years was not just a matter of 10,000 years but a qualitative leap. The two exchanged a nce and began a conversation. In the Northernmost Core Circle, Ling Bai gently raised his left hand. A strange scene unfolded: snowkes within three feet of him avoided him, creating a vacuum in the ice and snow. This was not a soul skill but the innate ability of the 700,000-year-old Ice and Snow Maiden left arm soul bone, Ice and Snow Sovereign, where ordinary snow and ice retreat from the ultimate snow. After absorbing the soul bone, Ling Bai noticed his bones had grown slightly under the nourishment, and his skin took on a jade-like luster, radiating nobility in the snowy world. Looking in the snow lotus pond, his skin was as white as jade, and his appearance was handsome beyondpare. Oh no! Because the Angel God is female, he already had a somewhat androgynous beauty, and now he looked even more like a woman! The Southern Liang''s fate is the Northern Dynasty! Ling Bai shook his head, dispelling the dirty thoughts, and turned to observe his left arm. As soul power surged, white patterns appeared on his arm, with cloud-like patterns on his finger and palm bones, and hexagonal snowke patterns on his arm, eachyer adding strength. "What a great deal." For the 700,000-year-old, third-ranked fierce beast Snow Empress, any cost was worth it. Ling Bai took out the Ice Jade Box and collected seven Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Heavenly Snow Lotus flowers. He also instructed the Dead Prison Bone Dragon to gather the remains, as Xiong Mo''s body had a Diamond Mammoth Right Arm Bone, and both had storage soul conductors! Good things shouldn''t be wasted! The wealth of two Sealed Douluo now belonged to him! "A 50,000-year-old Diamond Mammoth Right Arm Bone! An Eighth-ss Soul Conductor Aura Barrier, hmm, this seems useless, I have the Thousand Charm Disguise... Ten Seventh-ss Soul Conductor Landmines, good, good, good, so many, keep them for sneaky attacks. An Eighth-ss Triggered Soul Conductor Shield, damaged by the Great Golden Bear, but no big deal, it can be repaired. A Ninth-Level Spirit Artisan''s Deity Sealing tform, the best sealing soul conductor on the continent, slightly damaged. Xu Cong didn''t set any self-destruction mechanisms, making it easy to study. I''ll take it back for Ning Tian to y with." A huge harvest! After checking Xu Cong''s storage soul conductor, Ling Bai remarked, "A down-and-out Ninth-Rank Soul Artisan is so rich. Imagine how wealthy the true Ninth-Rank Soul Artisans of the Sun Moon Empire must be!" Just as he was about to check Xiong Mo''s storage soul conductor, a loud rumble split the sky, like the roar of the heavens. Snow rushed down the mountain like a raging beast, unstoppable. "Avnche?" Ling Bai asked, puzzled. Do you know what an avnche means in the Ultimate North? It means the Ultimate North is having an avnche!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Snowkes swirled in the air, like countless white ghosts, rushing in all directions. In an instant, the snow lotus pond was submerged in an endless snow flow, and the roar of soul beasts echoed through the white torrent. The Dead Prison Bone Dragon burst through the blizzard, and Ling Bai looked down at the source of the roars, his eyes widening in disbelief: "Ice Green Scorpion, Titan Snow Demon, Ice Bear, Ice Tiger, Snow Wolf, Snow Leopard..." The Ultimate North was experiencing a soul beast tide! White spiritual energy emerged from Ling Bai''s body, forming the figure of Snow Empress beside him. "An avnche in the Ultimate North, soul beasts emerging, Snow Empress..." Ling Bai spected, "Is it New Year''s Day in the Ultimate North today?" "Huh?" Snow Empress wanted to scold but didn''t know where to start. Do you celebrate New Year''s Day with an avnche in your world? In the distance, a greenish-blue light carrying a dominant cold aura suddenly swept over. Snow Empress frowned, muttering, "This is Bing''er''s soul power. Why is she going berserk?" "Ice Empress? That makes sense..." Ling Bai instantly understood. "Two guys without a Diamond Drill are trying to handle Porcin Work."

The receptionist girl gestured for them to enter, leading the way for the three of them. The moment they stepped into the Treasure Pavilion, a wave of golden light hit them. The hall was decorated in extreme luxury, with crystal goldmps hanging from the ceiling, casting a dazzling glow throughout the room.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om On both sides of the Treasure Pavilion''s main hall stood rows of short-skirted girls, each with a sweet face and a slender figure, carefully selected for their exceptional beauty. Their fair skin gleamed under the golden splendor of the walls, adding to their graceful allure. "Wee, honored guests." The girls bowed in unison, their perfect 90-degree bends revealing just enough of their smooth, round curves. Ling Bai, with his eye for beauty, couldn''t help but linger on them for a couple of seconds. Being surrounded by so many beautiful girls felt like stepping into a paradise. "Your drool is showing." Ling Luochen suddenly spoke up. "6." Ling Bai turned to look at her, his face showing a mix of surprise and amusement. "You, an ice queen, telling cold jokes? What''s the difference from pulling a prank on April Fool''s Day, saying someone''s shoce is untied!" "Those girls are one of themodities of the Treasure Pavilion, priced at ten thousand Golden Soul Coins each. They undergo years of special training and are guaranteed to be virgins. Guests can buy them out and take them home to indulge in their pleasures." Ma Xiaotao said with a casual yet pointed tone. "Indulge? That term sounds a bit harsh." Ma Xiaotao shrugged. "Some students who act all righteous and preachy have already kept several girls in Shrek City. We even have Inner Academy students doing the same." "Who?" "Yel Liu, he keeps eight." Ling Bai was stunned, taking a while to respond. "That''s... quite a lot of energy." "Scumbags deserve to die." Ling Luochen said coldly. "Right, despising Yel Liu is the first lesson for Inner Academy girls!" Ma Xiaotao showed her small but powerful fists. For once, Ling Bai didn''t dare to say a word, feeling the tension between the two girls. Ma Xiaotao put on a senior''s demeanor. "Although you''re a second-year Inner Academy student, you''re still young and easily swayed by women. Don''t follow Yel Liu''s example and keep girls." Ling Bai raised an eyebrow. "Lose control? That night you wore ck..." The moment the word "ck" was out, Ma Xiaotao''s face turned pale, and she quickly rushed over to cover his mouth. Ling Bai was referring to the night they moved into the Golden Tree, when she was tempted by Teacher Yan Shaozhe to wear a ck skirt, but ended up chickening out. "There are outsiders!" Ma Xiaotao subtly signaled to Ling Luochen, cing her finger to her red lips and lowering her voice. "Don''t say it!" If Ling Luochen found out about Ma Xiaotao''s failed attempt to seduce a junior, it would be a topic of gossip for a long time. Ling Luochen''s gaze shifted between Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao several times. Her sixth sense told her that something had definitely happened between them, but she wasn''t interested in Ma Xiaotao''s private life. She was more curious about why Ling Bai could make the ice elemental soul power tremble. Throughout their journey, Ling Luochen walked on Ling Bai''s left side, guided by a mysterious aura. The ice elemental soul power, initially trembling in fear, gradually became as docile as a cat meeting its owner, asionally purring with contentment. She was puzzled and eager to understand the reason, but her cold personality and thin skin made it hard for her to ask Ling Bai directly. She decided to warm up to him a bit before finding the right moment to ask. The first floor of the Treasure Pavilion was open to the public, and the receptionist girl led the three of them to the second floor, which was specifically set up for Shrek Academy students. The second floor was slightly smaller than the first, with various-sized booths arranged in the best positions. At a nce, there were nearly a hundred booths, each enclosed in arge crystal ss dome. The girl stopped and bowed slightly. "Wee, honored guests, to the Treasure Exhibition. The exhibition is held on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion. Please feel free to browse. If you like any item, you can register and purchase it at the counter on the west side. Your VIP status will also be assessed there, which determines your credit limit and exclusive discounts." "Since it''s your first time at the Treasure Exhibition, you should get your VIP status assessed first." Ma Xiaotao suggested. "Based on age, soul power, and cultivation, Shrek Academy VIPs are divided into five levels: White, Yellow, Purple, ck, and Red. We, the official Shrek Seven Monsters, are usually ck-level VIPs, getting a 30% discount and a credit limit of 500,000 Golden Soul Coins. Wait, you''re a Nine Treasures Crystal Tower student, right..." Ma Xiaotao''s voice trailed off. It was well-known that the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was only rich in money, so Ling Bai''s pocket money must be substantial. A credit limit of 500,000 Golden Soul Coins seemed almost like an insult. "Let''s go and see; we shouldn''t miss out on the benefits." Shrek Academy Inner Academy students had shed blood and sweat for the Shrek Surveince Team, so they deserved some discounts and credit benefits. Ling Bai, who had set his eyes on top-tier items, would be spending the six years'' worth of pocket money he had saved up, now that Ning Fengya wasn''t around. A 30% discount would save him a significant amount. The two girls apanied Ling Bai, and they walked nearly a hundred meters to the west side. Below the counter, a light strip glowed with a crystalline yellow light, casting a gentle glow that added a touch of softness to their faces. Inside the counter stood another pretty girl, around sixteen or seventeen years old, with a cute baby face. Seeing the three Inner Academy students, she stood up respectfully. "Hello, is there anything I can do for the honored guests?" "Assess our VIP status." "Certainly, please fill out your information." The girl handed over a white sheet of paper, which required only two pieces of information: name and soul power. "So simple?" Ling Bai quickly filled it out. "The assessment is actually just a query. The higher-ups at the academy have already evaluated it. There are fewer than a hundred Inner Academy students, so your name and soul power are enough." Ma Xiaotao exined. The query was very fast. A minuteter, the girl''s expression changedpletely when she looked at Ling Bai, as if she wanted to devour him with her eyes. Her professional demeanor quickly kicked in, and she retrieved a card from the back of the counter, subtly lowering her top by three centimeters before quickly walking to Ling Bai, bending deeply to reveal a stunning curve, and presenting a Crimson VIP Card with a voice as sweet as a nightingale''s. "Respected Mr. Ling, you are a Red-level VIP of the Treasure Pavilion. You enjoy a 40% discount on all purchases and can choose one item from the Treasure Exhibition each year, with all expenses covered by Shrek Academy." "Red level, and a free item every year?" Ling Bai didn''t say anything, but Ma Xiaotao blurted out, "You must be the secret offspring of some elder, getting special treatment now!" "Using connections is shameful." Ling Luochen added. "What''s going on with you two? You were at each other''s throats just a couple of hours ago, and now you''re in the same camp?" The two girls exchanged a nce, then coldly turned away. Ling Bai took the Red-level VIP card, which was warm to the touch, made of Crimson Spirit Warm Jade, capable of engraving a seventh-level soul conductor core array. "Thank you, we''ll just browse around. We won''t disturb your work." "Yes, Mr. Ling." The girl''s hopes were dashed, and a hint of regret shed in her eyes. She was also a commodity of the Treasure Pavilion, and a young, handsome Red-level VIP had a bright future. If he chose her, even as a mistress, it would be a blessing that ordinary people could only dream of. "Why are you a Red-level VIP? The entire Shrek Academy has only one Red-level VIP, Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, who is a Sea God Pavilion elder!" Ma Xiaotao was puzzled. She, a direct disciple of the Soul Power Department''s dean, was only a ck-level VIP. Ling Bai, while slightly stronger inbat, soul power, and character... In short, he was just a bit better than her! "Who should I ask if you don''t know?" Ling Bai held the Red card, feeling both amused and exasperated. He wasn''t a worm in Shrek Academy''s stomach, but it was clear that Shrek Academy was eager to recruit him. The 40% discount was a slightly higher benefit than other students, but the free item was a pure trap of mutual benefit. Favors were the hardest to repay. Huo Yuhao gradually fell into Shrek Academy''s various favors, eventually considering the academy his home and everything for Shrek. The three of them browsed the exhibits at the Treasure Exhibition. Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, as traditional Shrek Academy Inner Academy students, focused only on items rted to Soul Master cultivation. Ling Bai, however, considered soul conductors, rare metals, and soul beast materials. The quality of the Inner Academy Treasure Exhibition was on par with any top-tier auction, and the variety of items was even greater. Ling Bai spent half an hour browsing, and the highest-level item was a golden arm bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragon, priced at 9.5 million Golden Soul Coins. The Golden Earth Dragon had excellent attributes, but Ling Bai had already absorbed soul bones in both arms and decided not to waste money on this one. He wasn''t as extravagant as Ning Fengya, who would buy anything that caught her eye and store it in the Heavenly Treasury. "Holy crap, a hundred million!" Ma Xiaotao suddenly pulled Ling Bai, pointing to a booth that everyone passing by would notice. It was at least twice the size of the others, with a huge crystal dome spreading a brilliant purple-golden light. A red sign stood beside it. Shocking price, 99,999,999 Golden Soul Coins! "Really a hundred million?" Ling Bai and Ling Luochen''s pupils involuntarily contracted. This must be the Treasure Pavilion''s crown jewel. The three of them rushed over to see what item could be priced at a hundred million Golden Soul Coins. Could it be a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone? To their disappointment, the item floating in the booth was not a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone but a tube of purple-golden liquid, giving a sense of anticlimax like a simple tomato sd. The description beside it read: "Radiant Glory. Derived from a 300,000-year-old Radiant Thunder Hell Dragon, with attributes of light and lightning, possessing extremely pure bloodlines of the Holy Dragon and the Ancient Thunder Dragon. This Radiant Thunder Hell Dragon was the soul beast hunted by the Sea God Pavilion''s Dragon God Douluo Muen for his ninth soul ring when he broke through to the 90th level of soul power. After extracting the soul ring and soul bone, the Sea God Pavilion''s Dragon God Douluo refined and concentrated the Radiant Thunder Hell Dragon''s blood essence. Radiant Glory contains the bones, blood, scales, and horns of a 300,000-year-old near-ultimate attribute true dragon soul beast, making it a treasure for all light and lightning attribute Soul Masters on the continent." "This thing... really is worth a hundred million." Ma Xiaotao said in amazement. Ling Bai and Ling Luochen nodded in agreement. A 300,000-year-old soul beast was on par with the ten most ferocious beasts in the world, and its blood essence was invaluable. For Dragon, Light, and Lightning attribute Soul Masters, the effects of absorbing Radiant Glory wereparable to fusing a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, potentially improving their innate qualities and promoting soul power evolution. "Unfortunately, the Radiant Thunder Hell Dragon isn''t an ultimate light." Ling Bai sighed, almost solving the problem of the ultimate light soul bone. "No, you should buy it." Elex''s voice echoed in his mind. "What? Old Elex, that''s a hundred million! Even with the discount, it''s still sixty million!" Ling Bai felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He wasn''t short of money, but he was far from being a big spender! With the changing times, the purchasing power of Golden Soul Coins had increased, but a family of three only needed a few dozen Golden Soul Coins a year. What could sixty million Golden Soul Coins do? It could fully equip a ten-thousand-strong heavy cavalry! "The ten-thousand-year-old ultimate light and ultimate fire soul bones are seeds nted for you. Seeds need nutrients to grow, and Radiant Glory is top-grade nutrient solution. The decision is yours." |||| Outside, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen suddenly noticed Ling Bai''s face turning as dark as a pot bottom, walking back to the west side with a determined look, as if he were a hero going on a one-way journey. "Are you really going to buy Radiant Glory?" the two girls said in unison. "Yeah." Ling Bai nodded heavily. "Do you have that much money?" Ma Xiaotao asked curiously. "No way, even the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s princess can''te up with half that, let alone me." "Are you nning to use the Red card''s free item benefit?" Ma Xiaotao was overjoyed. This meant Ling Bai was epting a favor from Shrek Academy, making them partners. It would be much easier to deal with the evil fire! "Don''t get your hopes up!" Ling Bai said irritably. "I''m going to sell everything I have." He took three steps in two, arriving at the west side counter, and bluntly asked the girl with a baby face: "Does the Treasure Pavilion buy back treasures?" The girl, intimidated by Ling Bai''s presence, stammered, "Y-Yes, please follow me..." Ling Bai had saved twenty million pocket money over twelve years. Xiong Mo''s worth was twenty million. Xu Cong, already in a dire situation, had spent most of his money on rare metals for soul conductors, leaving him with a meager ten million. The gray-haired appraiser looked at the pile of items on the table and slowly said: "Ten seventh-level soul conductorndmines, produced by the Mingde Hall, seventy thousand Golden Soul Coins each, totaling seven million. A 13,000-year-old Mad Rhino right leg soul bone, one hundred and sixty thousand Golden Soul Coins. Half a 70,000-year-old soul beast, the Burning Sun Fire Dragon, including dragon teeth, scales, blood, and meat, fifty thousand Golden Soul Coins... Two storage soul conductors, one seventh-level, made by a regr seventh-level soul conductor master, and one eighth-level, produced by the Mingde Hall, totaling nine hundred thousand. Total: ten million Golden Soul Coins." "Shaozhe, this kid isn''t grateful..." At the top floor of the Treasure Pavilion, the old woman smiled at Yan Shaozhe. Yan Shaozhe sighed. "What can we do, Elder Lin? Radiant Glory is the teacher''s treasure, and originally meant for Bei Bei. He suddenly decided to put it in the Treasure Pavilion specifically emphasized giving Ling Bai a Red-level VIP status. Unfortunately, Ling Bai is very cautious about the academy. I''m more worried about Xiao Tao. She''s stubborn and refuses to release her evil fire with a man, unwilling to give up the opportunity for ultimate fire. She insists on finding a boy she likes, which means she''ll have to endure the evil fire. The purification from the Six-Winged Angel is wearing off, and she''ll still need Ling Bai''s help in the future. If they can get together, it would be great, but the problem is they don''t have any chemistry. When Ling Bai graduates, what will happen to Xiao Tao? Moreover, that boy is as cunning as a little fox, and he''s quite the womanizer. Cough, cough, much like me in my younger days. Xiao Tao''s straightforward temper is no match for him, so it''s a tough situation..."

Elder Lin said with a smile. Elder Lin''s real name was Lin Huiqun, one of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, holding a high status at Shrek Academy, second only to Elder Mu, Dragon God Douluo, and Taotie Douluo Elder Xuan. "Elder Lin, you are truly enlightened, but I must think about the future of the academy!" Yan Shaozhe pped his thigh and listed his concerns: "Our teacher is on the brink of death, Elder Xuan''s Taotie Divine Bull soul, has a fatal w, and you and Elder Song Zhuang are no longer young. I know I am not capable of taking on the responsibility of the Sea God Pavilion''s head, and Qian Lin''er, Mei''er, and other old studentsck the talent required to lead the Sea God Pavilion. The Six-Winged Angel is a Light Attribute Spirit Soul, very suitable to be the teacher''s personal disciple, but such a genius with extraordinary talent, solid background, and sufficient cunning is like a hedgehog covered in thorns; I have no idea how to approach him! Where is the future of Shrek Academy? I can''t sleep at night!" "Shaozhe, a road is walked step by step. The best talents in the world all gather at Shrek, but we can''t be so domineering. If we gain something, it''s our fortune; if we lose it, it''s our destiny. If that child is willing to join, the academy will cultivate him with all its might. If he doesn''t want toe, let him go. As long as he contributes to the three major empires of the Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy will always bless him." Elder Lin''s expression was very gentle, like a kind old grandmother, and she said warmly, "Yue Xuan and Xiao Tao are rare geniuses, Wu Ruo and Wu Ming have already decided to join the academypletely. The next generation of Bei Bei and Xu San Shi, the twin stars of the outer courtyard, the Flexible Bone Rabbit Jiang Nan Nan with the same soul as Xiaowu''s ancestor, the Soul Conductor Department geniuses Qian Fufu and Caitou, they will build a Sea God Pavilion that is no less impressive than us old folks." Yan Shaozhe sighed, "To be honest, after seeing the best, Yue Xuan and the others seemcking. Some things, if done, will invite criticism, but if not done, I will feel regret. Unless the academy suddenly produces an Ultimate Spirit Soul, I won''t give up on Ling Bai." "An Ultimate Spirit Soul isn''t that easy to find. In the academy''s ten-thousand-year history, there have only been three ultimate attributes!" Elder Lin said earnestly, "Jianmu that old ghost never married and has no descendants to pass on his skills. He''s nearing the end of his life and has finally taken a direct disciple. Shrek doesn''t need to forcibly take him." "Speaking of Senior Jianmu..." Yan Shaozhe suddenly remembered an old story and his expression changed as he looked at Elder Lin, "I heard from the teacher that you seemed to have a crush on him back then..." "Boom-" Elder Lin''s aged body suddenly burst with a powerful aura, overpowering the Soul Master Department Dean Bright Phoenix Douluo Yan Shaozhe, forcing the two words he was about to say back into his throat. Her eyes glinted dangerously, "Shaozhe, if you don''t understand and insist on saying things you shouldn''t, this old woman also knows a bit of martial arts..." "That... Elder Lin, I was just joking, please calm down, calm down..." On the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, Ling Bai had finally managed to scrape together enough Golden Soul Coins by selling everything he could. After paying at the counter on the west side, he stared at the remaining 250 Golden Soul Coins in his card,menting, "I was a millionaire an hour ago, how did I suddenly be penniless!" Gone, gone, all the pocket money he had saved over the years, and the unexpected wealth from the two Sealed Title Douluo in the extreme north, were gone! 250 Golden Soul Coins, if not for the free meals in the inner courtyard, Ling Bai would have to set up a stall to sell grilled fish like Huo Yuhao at the east city gate! Actually, he still had some rare treasures: a 70,000-year-old Burning Sun Fire Dragon Torso Bone, a 50,000-year-old Diamond Mammoth Right Arm Bone, seven Ultimate Ice Ten- Thousand-Year Ice Heavenly Snow Lotus, a Tier 9 Soul Conductor tform (damaged), a Tier 8 peak Soul Conductor Thousand Charm Demon Beauty, a Tier 8 Soul Conductor Aura Barrier, a Tier 8 Triggered Soul Shield (damaged), and a Tier 7 bottle. Selling any of these would instantly bring in a fortune, but Ling Bai had already made ns for most of them. The only Aura Barrier, a Tier 8 Soul Conductor from the Mingde Hall, was not very useful. Selling it to the ck-hearted Treasure Pavilion would not yield as much as selling it at an auction. Seeing Ling Bai''s despondent expression, Ma Xiaotao tried to hold back herughter while consoling him, "Not a bad deal, at least you got the 300,000-year-old True Dragon Soul Beast''s blood essence, which will benefit your Six-Winged Angel soul greatly." Ling Bai nced at her red lips, which had tooth marks, and nodded, "I''ll take your advice and hypnotize myself into believing that." "Hahaha!" The exhibits in the Treasure Pavilion were diverse, and it took the three of them three hours to finish a full tour. As a penniless man, Ling Bai could only stare, but fortunately, no other high-quality treasures appeared; otherwise, he would have had to run back to borrow money from the little rich girl Ning Tian. After much deliberation, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen each used their ck VIP cards to buy a Phoenix Blood Fruit, which contained the power of a fire phoenix and was harvested from deep within a volcanic crater, and a Frost Flower, a unique treasure from the core area of the extreme north, suitable for the development of their respective souls. The Phoenix Blood Fruit cost 500,000 Golden Soul Coins, and the Frost Flower cost 450,000 Golden Soul Coins, totaling less than one percent of the price of the Radiant Glory. With the ck VIP card''s 30% discount, they spent even less, yet they stillined about being broke, unlike a certain person who spent 60 million Golden Soul Coins on a tube of liquid. Ling Bai decided to cover his ears and stay away from them, inadvertently noticing a ck object in a corner. The price tag next to it read: Thousand Year Whale Jelly, 6,000 Golden Soul Coins. "Oh?" Ling Bai approached the Thousand Year Whale Jelly exhibit, which was a pitch-ck crystal with a dull, uneven surface, far less appealing than the Phoenix Blood Fruit and Frost Flower bought by the two girls. The treasure description read: Whale jelly is a special substance formed in the brain of Demon Whales, with powerful effects such as strengthening the body, enhancing bones, and nourishing yin and yang. This whale jelly was acquired by the Treasure Pavilion from a fisherman. ording to the fisherman, it was obtained when his ancestors encountered a severely injured thousand-year- old deep-sea Demon Whale during a fishing trip and had a soul master cut it out of the Demon Whale''s brain. Thousand-year-old Demon Whale jelly is usually golden yellow and very expensive. The volume of this jelly isrge enough to cause a significant transformation in a soul master''s body. However, the fisherman did not store it properly, and after decades of weathering, it slightly deteriorated but can still be consumed normally. "Hmm, that''s it." After reading the description, Ling Bai was sure of the truth: this is a Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, and the Treasure Pavilion has mistaken it for a Thousand Year Whale Jelly! Years ago, Ning Fengya had issued a bounty for ten-thousand-year-old deep-sea Demon Whales to enhance the constitution of the sect''s future stars. Ning Fengya bought several deep-sea Demon Whales and extracted the whale jelly, and Ling Bai could still clearly recall the sticky and greasy taste of the jelly. He had eaten too much of it, and it was no longer meaningful for him. Ning Tian was the same, and Wu Feng, although her status did not originally warrant eating Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly regrly, had benefited from Ling Bai and Ning Tian''s consistent efforts to provide her with it. Although Ling Bai was unwilling to eat Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, he could revert to his old business from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower-reselling! Ling Bai nced at the two girls on either side of him. Ling Luochen stood tall and cold, radiating an aura that kept others at a distance, while Ma Xiaotao''s slender figure was full of curiosity, trying to guess why Ling Bai was staring at a low-quality Thousand Year Whale Jelly. After a brief moment of hesitation, Ling Bai spoke to Ma Xiaotao, who seemed easier to talk to and was more familiar to him: "Ma ssmate... can you lend me 4,000 Golden Soul Coins?" With the red VIP card discount, it would cost 3,600 Golden Soul Coins, so Ling Bai rounded it up. "What?" Ma Xiaotao was delighted but then frowned, feigning displeasure, "I''m happy you''re borrowing from me because it means you trust me, but I don''t like the way you address me. Come on, call me Sister Xiaotao first!" Over the past year, perhaps due to being beaten up and owing a favor for solving the Phoenix Evil Fire, Ma Xiaotao naturally felt inferior to Ling Bai. Now, she finally had a chance to feel superior! "Then I''ll ask Ling Luochen ssmate!" Ling Bai instantly changed his target, but his second choice, Ling Luochen, had disappeared. "Hey, hey, hey, don''t look for her, I''ll give you 4,000! 10,000! 10,000 Golden Soul Coins, okay!" Hearing Ling Bai call out to Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao no longer put on an act and immediately offered 10,000 Golden Soul Coins. Whether toment on Dean Yan Shaozhe''s character or not, his judgment of human nature was top-notch. The two were not on the same level, and Ling Bai only needed to use his little finger to handle Ma Xiaotao. Ling Bai reluctantly agreed, inwardly sighing, women, truly iprehensible! Ma Xiaotao took out a gold card with 10,000 Golden Soul Coins and handed it to Ling Bai, unable to resist asking, "Can you tell me why you''re willing to borrow money to buy this ck, deteriorated Thousand Year Whale Jelly?" Ling Bai was generous with his exnation, "This is a Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, the best of whale jellies. I''ll buy it and resell it, and I''ll make at least this much." Ling Bai held up five fingers. 500,000! "You''re truly a prodigy of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, with a full talent for finding bargains..." Ma Xiaotao was speechless; the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s true legacy had found a worthy sessor! As Ling Bai was about to pay at the counter on the west side, Ling Luochen suddenly appeared beside him like a ghost, holding a voucher with the Treasure Pavilion''s logo. "Whale jelly receipt, I wrote your name. I''ll send it to the inner courtyard with the Radiant Glory tomorrow morning. Don''t forget to sign for it." While Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao were chatting, the action-oriented Ling Luochen had already paid at the front desk and even had the receipt ready! "Thank you, I''ll pay you back double the cost of the whale jelly another day." Given their distant rtionship, Ling Bai never expected Ling Luochen to go to such lengths. He immediately made a promise. Ma Xiaotao, on the other hand, was furious, her pink eyes fixed on Ling Luochen, as if to say, who are you, get out of her body! Qian Fufu by the Daming Lake would cry! The treasure viewing tour ended perfectly. On the way back to Shrek Academy, the three of them chatted aimlessly. "Do you know, a week from now, the outer courtyard''s upgrade exams will be over, and they will start selecting the reserve team for the next Shrek Seven Monsters for the Soul Master Tournament," Ma Xiaotao said. "It''s usually around this time," Ling Luochen added. "Can we go to the outer courtyard to watch?" Ling Bai knew how much blood and tears Ning Tian and Wu Feng had shed, and he looked forward to them avenging their past humiliation and winning the position of the Shrek Seven Monsters reserve team. He wanted to be a witness. "Watching..." Ma Xiaotao hesitated, "Theoretically, Elder Xuan hasn''t forbidden it, but normally, the main Shrek Seven Monsters should maintain a high and mysterious image." "That''s easy, we can watch secretly. I''ll ask Yao Haoxuan to gather everyone. He likes to join in the fun and will surely drag others along to watch." Besides Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, the other four main Shrek Seven Monsters, Dai Yueheng, Gongyang Mo, Xi Xi, and Yao Haoxuan, had a slightly better rtionship with Ling Bai. Yao Haoxuan, with his more outgoing personality, was the right person to ask for this kind of thing. "That''s fine, we can get to know our future teammates in advance," Ma Xiaotao agreed. "We can also make a bet. Each of us picks an outer courtyard disciple and bets on whether they will be selected for the reserve team. The loser must sit out the first elimination match and not participate, watching others perform!" "Ning Tian." Ling Bai unconditionally supported his childhood friend. "Biased, I bet on Xu San Shi." Ma Xiaotao was familiar with Xu San Shi''s strength and believed that the outer courtyard''s top defensive soul master should be selected. "Jiang Nan Nan," Ling Luochen said softly. She had been in the inner courtyard for less than three years but had heard of the powerful soul skills of the Flexible Bone Rabbit Jiang Nan Nan. "May the best win, no cheating!" ... A weekter, at the Soul Conductor Department''s No. 1 experimental field. "Xiao Tian, I''ve fixed Ling Bai''s Tier 8 Triggered Soul Shield. I promise to return the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty to him before the Soul Master Tournament opens!" "Thank you, Grand Tutor." The Deputy Dean of the Soul Conductor Department, Qian Duoduo, handed the Tier 8 Soul Conductor Shield to Ning Tian. On the second day of the school term, he had humbly asked Ning Tian to lend him the Tier 8 peak Soul Conductor Thousand Charm Demon Beauty for research, coinciding with Ling Bai''s desire to find a high-level soul conductor to repair the Soul Shield. After a brief discussion, they agreed that before the Soul Master Tournament, Qian Duoduo would repair the Soul Shield, with Ling Bai covering the material costs, and Qian Duoduo''s reward would be the opportunity to study the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty for a while. "By the way, today, the core disciples of the outer courtyard will have apetition. The seven winners willplete a special task together." Qian Duoduo looked around to ensure no one was nearby before whispering, "That''s just a cover to fool the simple-minded. In reality, it''s to select the reserve team for the Shrek Seven Monsters. Try your best to win! Last year, Fu Fu was kicked out of the main team, and your teacher was angry for three days and three nights. This year, the Soul Conductor Department has sent three core disciples, you and Fan Yu''s two apprentices. You must make the Soul Conductor Department proud!" "Don''t worry, Grand Tutor. There''s a chance that all three of us from the Soul Conductor Department will be selected this year, a first in history," Ning Tian''s smile was perfect, without a single w. "Hehe, then I''ll ride on Old Yan''s neck and y the seesaw!" "Grand Tutor, I''ll go now." "Mm, good luck!" Ning Tian left the experimental field, and Wu Feng had been waiting for a long time. She hid her smile, her face expressionless, and looked up at the sky. The weather was clear and sunny, a good omen. "Let''s go, Xiaofeng. The time hase for us to wash away our humiliation."

The receptionist girl gestured for them to enter, leading the way for the three of them. The moment they stepped into the Treasure Pavilion, a wave of golden light hit them. The hall was decorated in extreme luxury, with crystal goldmps hanging from the ceiling, casting a dazzling glow throughout the room. On both sides of the Treasure Pavilion''s main hall stood rows of short-skirted girls, each with a sweet face and a slender figure, carefully selected for their exceptional beauty. Their fair skin gleamed under the golden splendor of the walls, adding to their graceful allure. "Wee, honored guests." The girls bowed in unison, their perfect 90-degree bends revealing just enough of their smooth, round curves. Ling Bai, with his eye for beauty, couldn''t help but linger on them for a couple of seconds. Being surrounded by so many beautiful girls felt like stepping into a paradise. "Your drool is showing." Ling Luochen suddenly spoke up. "6." Ling Bai turned to look at her, his face showing a mix of surprise and amusement. "You, an ice queen, telling cold jokes? What''s the difference from pulling a prank on April Fool''s Day, saying someone''s shoce is untied!" "Those girls are one of themodities of the Treasure Pavilion, priced at ten thousand Golden Soul Coins each. They undergo years of special training and are guaranteed to be virgins. Guests can buy them out and take them home to indulge in their pleasures." Ma Xiaotao said with a casual yet pointed tone. "Indulge? That term sounds a bit harsh." Ma Xiaotao shrugged. "Some students who act all righteous and preachy have already kept several girls in Shrek City. We even have Inner Academy students doing the same." "Who?" "Yel Liu, he keeps eight." Ling Bai was stunned, taking a while to respond. "That''s... quite a lot of energy."N?v(el)B\\jnn "Scumbags deserve to die." Ling Luochen said coldly. "Right, despising Yel Liu is the first lesson for Inner Academy girls!" Ma Xiaotao showed her small but powerful fists. For once, Ling Bai didn''t dare to say a word, feeling the tension between the two girls. Ma Xiaotao put on a senior''s demeanor. "Although you''re a second-year Inner Academy student, you''re still young and easily swayed by women. Don''t follow Yel Liu''s example and keep girls." Ling Bai raised an eyebrow. "Lose control? That night you wore ck..." The moment the word "ck" was out, Ma Xiaotao''s face turned pale, and she quickly rushed over to cover his mouth. Ling Bai was referring to the night they moved into the Golden Tree, when she was tempted by Teacher Yan Shaozhe to wear a ck skirt, but ended up chickening out. "There are outsiders!" Ma Xiaotao subtly signaled to Ling Luochen, cing her finger to her red lips and lowering her voice. "Don''t say it!" If Ling Luochen found out about Ma Xiaotao''s failed attempt to seduce a junior, it would be a topic of gossip for a long time. Ling Luochen''s gaze shifted between Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao several times. Her sixth sense told her that something had definitely happened between them, but she wasn''t interested in Ma Xiaotao''s private life. She was more curious about why Ling Bai could make the ice elemental soul power tremble. Throughout their journey, Ling Luochen walked on Ling Bai''s left side, guided by a mysterious aura. The ice elemental soul power, initially trembling in fear, gradually became as docile as a cat meeting its owner, asionally purring with contentment. She was puzzled and eager to understand the reason, but her cold personality and thin skin made it hard for her to ask Ling Bai directly. She decided to warm up to him a bit before finding the right moment to ask. The first floor of the Treasure Pavilion was open to the public, and the receptionist girl led the three of them to the second floor, which was specifically set up for Shrek Academy students. The second floor was slightly smaller than the first, with various-sized booths arranged in the best positions. At a nce, there were nearly a hundred booths, each enclosed in arge crystal ss dome. The girl stopped and bowed slightly. "Wee, honored guests, to the Treasure Exhibition. The exhibition is held on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion. Please feel free to browse. If you like any item, you can register and purchase it at the counter on the west side. Your VIP status will also be assessed there, which determines your credit limit and exclusive discounts." "Since it''s your first time at the Treasure Exhibition, you should get your VIP status assessed first." Ma Xiaotao suggested. "Based on age, soul power, and cultivation, Shrek Academy VIPs are divided into five levels: White, Yellow, Purple, ck, and Red. We, the official Shrek Seven Monsters, are usually ck-level VIPs, getting a 30% discount and a credit limit of 500,000 Golden Soul Coins. Wait, you''re a Nine Treasures Crystal Tower student, right..." Ma Xiaotao''s voice trailed off. It was well-known that the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was only rich in money, so Ling Bai''s pocket money must be substantial. A credit limit of 500,000 Golden Soul Coins seemed almost like an insult. "Let''s go and see; we shouldn''t miss out on the benefits." Shrek Academy Inner Academy students had shed blood and sweat for the Shrek Surveince Team, so they deserved some discounts and credit benefits. Ling Bai, who had set his eyes on top-tier items, would be spending the six years'' worth of pocket money he had saved up, now that Ning Fengya wasn''t around. A 30% discount would save him a significant amount. The two girls apanied Ling Bai, and they walked nearly a hundred meters to the west side. Below the counter, a light strip glowed with a crystalline yellow light, casting a gentle glow that added a touch of softness to their faces. Inside the counter stood another pretty girl, around sixteen or seventeen years old, with a cute baby face. Seeing the three Inner Academy students, she stood up respectfully. "Hello, is there anything I can do for the honored guests?" "Assess our VIP status." "Certainly, please fill out your information." The girl handed over a white sheet of paper, which required only two pieces of information: name and soul power. "So simple?" Ling Bai quickly filled it out. "The assessment is actually just a query. The higher-ups at the academy have already evaluated it. There are fewer than a hundred Inner Academy students, so your name and soul power are enough." Ma Xiaotao exined. The query was very fast. A minuteter, the girl''s expression changedpletely when she looked at Ling Bai, as if she wanted to devour him with her eyes. Her professional demeanor quickly kicked in, and she retrieved a card from the back of the counter, subtly lowering her top by three centimeters before quickly walking to Ling Bai, bending deeply to reveal a stunning curve, and presenting a Crimson VIP Card with a voice as sweet as a nightingale''s. "Respected Mr. Ling, you are a Red-level VIP of the Treasure Pavilion. You enjoy a 40% discount on all purchases and can choose one item from the Treasure Exhibition each year, with all expenses covered by Shrek Academy." "Red level, and a free item every year?" Ling Bai didn''t say anything, but Ma Xiaotao blurted out, "You must be the secret offspring of some elder, getting special treatment now!" "Using connections is shameful." Ling Luochen added. "What''s going on with you two? You were at each other''s throats just a couple of hours ago, and now you''re in the same camp?" The two girls exchanged a nce, then coldly turned away. Ling Bai took the Red-level VIP card, which was warm to the touch, made of Crimson Spirit Warm Jade, capable of engraving a seventh-level soul conductor core array. "Thank you, we''ll just browse around. We won''t disturb your work." "Yes, Mr. Ling." The girl''s hopes were dashed, and a hint of regret shed in her eyes. She was also a commodity of the Treasure Pavilion, and a young, handsome Red-level VIP had a bright future. If he chose her, even as a mistress, it would be a blessing that ordinary people could only dream of. "Why are you a Red-level VIP? The entire Shrek Academy has only one Red-level VIP, Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, who is a Sea God Pavilion elder!" Ma Xiaotao was puzzled. She, a direct disciple of the Soul Power Department''s dean, was only a ck-level VIP. Ling Bai, while slightly stronger inbat, soul power, and character... In short, he was just a bit better than her! "Who should I ask if you don''t know?" Ling Bai held the Red card, feeling both amused and exasperated. He wasn''t a worm in Shrek Academy''s stomach, but it was clear that Shrek Academy was eager to recruit him. The 40% discount was a slightly higher benefit than other students, but the free item was a pure trap of mutual benefit. Favors were the hardest to repay. Huo Yuhao gradually fell into Shrek Academy''s various favors, eventually considering the academy his home and everything for Shrek. The three of them browsed the exhibits at the Treasure Exhibition. Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, as traditional Shrek Academy Inner Academy students, focused only on items rted to Soul Master cultivation. Ling Bai, however, considered soul conductors, rare metals, and soul beast materials. The quality of the Inner Academy Treasure Exhibition was on par with any top-tier auction, and the variety of items was even greater. Ling Bai spent half an hour browsing, and the highest-level item was a golden arm bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragon, priced at 9.5 million Golden Soul Coins. The Golden Earth Dragon had excellent attributes, but Ling Bai had already absorbed soul bones in both arms and decided not to waste money on this one. He wasn''t as extravagant as Ning Fengya, who would buy anything that caught her eye and store it in the Heavenly Treasury. "Holy crap, a hundred million!" Ma Xiaotao suddenly pulled Ling Bai, pointing to a booth that everyone passing by would notice. It was at least twice the size of the others, with a huge crystal dome spreading a brilliant purple-golden light. A red sign stood beside it. Shocking price, 99,999,999 Golden Soul Coins! "Really a hundred million?" Ling Bai and Ling Luochen''s pupils involuntarily contracted. This must be the Treasure Pavilion''s crown jewel. The three of them rushed over to see what item could be priced at a hundred million Golden Soul Coins. Could it be a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone? To their disappointment, the item floating in the booth was not a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone but a tube of purple-golden liquid, giving a sense of anticlimax like a simple tomato sd. The description beside it read: "Radiant Glory. Derived from a 300,000-year-old Radiant Thunder Hell Dragon, with attributes of light and lightning, possessing extremely pure bloodlines of the Holy Dragon and the Ancient Thunder Dragon. This Radiant Thunder Hell Dragon was the soul beast hunted by the Sea God Pavilion''s Dragon God Douluo Muen for his ninth soul ring when he broke through to the 90th level of soul power. After extracting the soul ring and soul bone, the Sea God Pavilion''s Dragon God Douluo refined and concentrated the Radiant Thunder Hell Dragon''s blood essence. Radiant Glory contains the bones, blood, scales, and horns of a 300,000-year-old near-ultimate attribute true dragon soul beast, making it a treasure for all light and lightning attribute Soul Masters on the continent." "This thing... really is worth a hundred million." Ma Xiaotao said in amazement. Ling Bai and Ling Luochen nodded in agreement. A 300,000-year-old soul beast was on par with the ten most ferocious beasts in the world, and its blood essence was invaluable. For Dragon, Light, and Lightning attribute Soul Masters, the effects of absorbing Radiant Glory wereparable to fusing a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, potentially improving their innate qualities and promoting soul power evolution. "Unfortunately, the Radiant Thunder Hell Dragon isn''t an ultimate light." Ling Bai sighed, almost solving the problem of the ultimate light soul bone. "No, you should buy it." Elex''s voice echoed in his mind. "What? Old Elex, that''s a hundred million! Even with the discount, it''s still sixty million!" Ling Bai felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He wasn''t short of money, but he was far from being a big spender! With the changing times, the purchasing power of Golden Soul Coins had increased, but a family of three only needed a few dozen Golden Soul Coins a year. What could sixty million Golden Soul Coins do? It could fully equip a ten-thousand-strong heavy cavalry! "The ten-thousand-year-old ultimate light and ultimate fire soul bones are seeds nted for you. Seeds need nutrients to grow, and Radiant Glory is top-grade nutrient solution. The decision is yours." |||| Outside, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen suddenly noticed Ling Bai''s face turning as dark as a pot bottom, walking back to the west side with a determined look, as if he were a hero going on a one-way journey. "Are you really going to buy Radiant Glory?" the two girls said in unison. "Yeah." Ling Bai nodded heavily. "Do you have that much money?" Ma Xiaotao asked curiously. "No way, even the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s princess can''te up with half that, let alone me." "Are you nning to use the Red card''s free item benefit?" Ma Xiaotao was overjoyed. This meant Ling Bai was epting a favor from Shrek Academy, making them partners. It would be much easier to deal with the evil fire! "Don''t get your hopes up!" Ling Bai said irritably. "I''m going to sell everything I have." He took three steps in two, arriving at the west side counter, and bluntly asked the girl with a baby face: "Does the Treasure Pavilion buy back treasures?" The girl, intimidated by Ling Bai''s presence, stammered, "Y-Yes, please follow me..." Ling Bai had saved twenty million pocket money over twelve years. Xiong Mo''s worth was twenty million. Xu Cong, already in a dire situation, had spent most of his money on rare metals for soul conductors, leaving him with a meager ten million. The gray-haired appraiser looked at the pile of items on the table and slowly said: "Ten seventh-level soul conductorndmines, produced by the Mingde Hall, seventy thousand Golden Soul Coins each, totaling seven million. A 13,000-year-old Mad Rhino right leg soul bone, one hundred and sixty thousand Golden Soul Coins. Half a 70,000-year-old soul beast, the Burning Sun Fire Dragon, including dragon teeth, scales, blood, and meat, fifty thousand Golden Soul Coins... Two storage soul conductors, one seventh-level, made by a regr seventh-level soul conductor master, and one eighth-level, produced by the Mingde Hall, totaling nine hundred thousand. Total: ten million Golden Soul Coins." "Shaozhe, this kid isn''t grateful..." At the top floor of the Treasure Pavilion, the old woman smiled at Yan Shaozhe. Yan Shaozhe sighed. "What can we do, Elder Lin? Radiant Glory is the teacher''s treasure, and originally meant for Bei Bei. He suddenly decided to put it in the Treasure Pavilion specifically emphasized giving Ling Bai a Red-level VIP status. Unfortunately, Ling Bai is very cautious about the academy. I''m more worried about Xiao Tao. She''s stubborn and refuses to release her evil fire with a man, unwilling to give up the opportunity for ultimate fire. She insists on finding a boy she likes, which means she''ll have to endure the evil fire. The purification from the Six-Winged Angel is wearing off, and she''ll still need Ling Bai''s help in the future. If they can get together, it would be great, but the problem is they don''t have any chemistry. When Ling Bai graduates, what will happen to Xiao Tao? Moreover, that boy is as cunning as a little fox, and he''s quite the womanizer. Cough, cough, much like me in my younger days. Xiao Tao''s straightforward temper is no match for him, so it''s a tough situation..."

Elder Lin said with a smile. Elder Lin''s real name was Lin Huiqun, one of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, holding a high status at Shrek Academy, second only to Elder Mu, Dragon God Douluo, and Taotie Douluo Elder Xuan. "Elder Lin, you are truly enlightened, but I must think about the future of the academy!" Yan Shaozhe pped his thigh and listed his concerns: "Our teacher is on the brink of death, Elder Xuan''s Taotie Divine Bull soul, has a fatal w, and you and Elder Song Zhuang are no longer young. I know I am not capable of taking on the responsibility of the Sea God Pavilion''s head, and Qian Lin''er, Mei''er, and other old studentsck the talent required to lead the Sea God Pavilion.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om The Six-Winged Angel is a Light Attribute Spirit Soul, very suitable to be the teacher''s personal disciple, but such a genius with extraordinary talent, solid background, and sufficient cunning is like a hedgehog covered in thorns; I have no idea how to approach him! Where is the future of Shrek Academy? I can''t sleep at night!" "Shaozhe, a road is walked step by step. The best talents in the world all gather at Shrek, but we can''t be so domineering. If we gain something, it''s our fortune; if we lose it, it''s our destiny. If that child is willing to join, the academy will cultivate him with all its might. If he doesn''t want toe, let him go. As long as he contributes to the three major empires of the Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy will always bless him." Elder Lin''s expression was very gentle, like a kind old grandmother, and she said warmly, "Yue Xuan and Xiao Tao are rare geniuses, Wu Ruo and Wu Ming have already decided to join the academypletely. The next generation of Bei Bei and Xu San Shi, the twin stars of the outer courtyard, the Flexible Bone Rabbit Jiang Nan Nan with the same soul as Xiaowu''s ancestor, the Soul Conductor Department geniuses Qian Fufu and Caitou, they will build a Sea God Pavilion that is no less impressive than us old folks." Yan Shaozhe sighed, "To be honest, after seeing the best, Yue Xuan and the others seemcking. Some things, if done, will invite criticism, but if not done, I will feel regret. Unless the academy suddenly produces an Ultimate Spirit Soul, I won''t give up on Ling Bai." "An Ultimate Spirit Soul isn''t that easy to find. In the academy''s ten-thousand-year history, there have only been three ultimate attributes!" Elder Lin said earnestly, "Jianmu that old ghost never married and has no descendants to pass on his skills. He''s nearing the end of his life and has finally taken a direct disciple. Shrek doesn''t need to forcibly take him." "Speaking of Senior Jianmu..." Yan Shaozhe suddenly remembered an old story and his expression changed as he looked at Elder Lin, "I heard from the teacher that you seemed to have a crush on him back then..." "Boom-" Elder Lin''s aged body suddenly burst with a powerful aura, overpowering the Soul Master Department Dean Bright Phoenix Douluo Yan Shaozhe, forcing the two words he was about to say back into his throat. Her eyes glinted dangerously, "Shaozhe, if you don''t understand and insist on saying things you shouldn''t, this old woman also knows a bit of martial arts..." "That... Elder Lin, I was just joking, please calm down, calm down..." On the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, Ling Bai had finally managed to scrape together enough Golden Soul Coins by selling everything he could. After paying at the counter on the west side, he stared at the remaining 250 Golden Soul Coins in his card,menting, "I was a millionaire an hour ago, how did I suddenly be penniless!" Gone, gone, all the pocket money he had saved over the years, and the unexpected wealth from the two Sealed Title Douluo in the extreme north, were gone! 250 Golden Soul Coins, if not for the free meals in the inner courtyard, Ling Bai would have to set up a stall to sell grilled fish like Huo Yuhao at the east city gate! Actually, he still had some rare treasures: a 70,000-year-old Burning Sun Fire Dragon Torso Bone, a 50,000-year-old Diamond Mammoth Right Arm Bone, seven Ultimate Ice Ten- Thousand-Year Ice Heavenly Snow Lotus, a Tier 9 Soul Conductor tform (damaged), a Tier 8 peak Soul Conductor Thousand Charm Demon Beauty, a Tier 8 Soul Conductor Aura Barrier, a Tier 8 Triggered Soul Shield (damaged), and a Tier 7 bottle. Selling any of these would instantly bring in a fortune, but Ling Bai had already made ns for most of them. The only Aura Barrier, a Tier 8 Soul Conductor from the Mingde Hall, was not very useful. Selling it to the ck-hearted Treasure Pavilion would not yield as much as selling it at an auction. Seeing Ling Bai''s despondent expression, Ma Xiaotao tried to hold back herughter while consoling him, "Not a bad deal, at least you got the 300,000-year-old True Dragon Soul Beast''s blood essence, which will benefit your Six-Winged Angel soul greatly." Ling Bai nced at her red lips, which had tooth marks, and nodded, "I''ll take your advice and hypnotize myself into believing that." "Hahaha!" The exhibits in the Treasure Pavilion were diverse, and it took the three of them three hours to finish a full tour. As a penniless man, Ling Bai could only stare, but fortunately, no other high-quality treasures appeared; otherwise, he would have had to run back to borrow money from the little rich girl Ning Tian. After much deliberation, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen each used their ck VIP cards to buy a Phoenix Blood Fruit, which contained the power of a fire phoenix and was harvested from deep within a volcanic crater, and a Frost Flower, a unique treasure from the core area of the extreme north, suitable for the development of their respective souls. The Phoenix Blood Fruit cost 500,000 Golden Soul Coins, and the Frost Flower cost 450,000 Golden Soul Coins, totaling less than one percent of the price of the Radiant Glory. With the ck VIP card''s 30% discount, they spent even less, yet they stillined about being broke, unlike a certain person who spent 60 million Golden Soul Coins on a tube of liquid. Ling Bai decided to cover his ears and stay away from them, inadvertently noticing a ck object in a corner. The price tag next to it read: Thousand Year Whale Jelly, 6,000 Golden Soul Coins. "Oh?" Ling Bai approached the Thousand Year Whale Jelly exhibit, which was a pitch-ck crystal with a dull, uneven surface, far less appealing than the Phoenix Blood Fruit and Frost Flower bought by the two girls. The treasure description read: Whale jelly is a special substance formed in the brain of Demon Whales, with powerful effects such as strengthening the body, enhancing bones, and nourishing yin and yang. This whale jelly was acquired by the Treasure Pavilion from a fisherman. ording to the fisherman, it was obtained when his ancestors encountered a severely injured thousand-year- old deep-sea Demon Whale during a fishing trip and had a soul master cut it out of the Demon Whale''s brain. Thousand-year-old Demon Whale jelly is usually golden yellow and very expensive. The volume of this jelly isrge enough to cause a significant transformation in a soul master''s body. However, the fisherman did not store it properly, and after decades of weathering, it slightly deteriorated but can still be consumed normally. "Hmm, that''s it." After reading the description, Ling Bai was sure of the truth: this is a Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, and the Treasure Pavilion has mistaken it for a Thousand Year Whale Jelly! Years ago, Ning Fengya had issued a bounty for ten-thousand-year-old deep-sea Demon Whales to enhance the constitution of the sect''s future stars. Ning Fengya bought several deep-sea Demon Whales and extracted the whale jelly, and Ling Bai could still clearly recall the sticky and greasy taste of the jelly. He had eaten too much of it, and it was no longer meaningful for him. Ning Tian was the same, and Wu Feng, although her status did not originally warrant eating Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly regrly, had benefited from Ling Bai and Ning Tian''s consistent efforts to provide her with it. Although Ling Bai was unwilling to eat Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, he could revert to his old business from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower-reselling! Ling Bai nced at the two girls on either side of him. Ling Luochen stood tall and cold, radiating an aura that kept others at a distance, while Ma Xiaotao''s slender figure was full of curiosity, trying to guess why Ling Bai was staring at a low-quality Thousand Year Whale Jelly. After a brief moment of hesitation, Ling Bai spoke to Ma Xiaotao, who seemed easier to talk to and was more familiar to him: "Ma ssmate... can you lend me 4,000 Golden Soul Coins?" With the red VIP card discount, it would cost 3,600 Golden Soul Coins, so Ling Bai rounded it up. "What?" Ma Xiaotao was delighted but then frowned, feigning displeasure, "I''m happy you''re borrowing from me because it means you trust me, but I don''t like the way you address me. Come on, call me Sister Xiaotao first!" Over the past year, perhaps due to being beaten up and owing a favor for solving the Phoenix Evil Fire, Ma Xiaotao naturally felt inferior to Ling Bai. Now, she finally had a chance to feel superior! "Then I''ll ask Ling Luochen ssmate!" Ling Bai instantly changed his target, but his second choice, Ling Luochen, had disappeared. "Hey, hey, hey, don''t look for her, I''ll give you 4,000! 10,000! 10,000 Golden Soul Coins, okay!" Hearing Ling Bai call out to Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao no longer put on an act and immediately offered 10,000 Golden Soul Coins. Whether toment on Dean Yan Shaozhe''s character or not, his judgment of human nature was top-notch. The two were not on the same level, and Ling Bai only needed to use his little finger to handle Ma Xiaotao. Ling Bai reluctantly agreed, inwardly sighing, women, truly iprehensible! Ma Xiaotao took out a gold card with 10,000 Golden Soul Coins and handed it to Ling Bai, unable to resist asking, "Can you tell me why you''re willing to borrow money to buy this ck, deteriorated Thousand Year Whale Jelly?" Ling Bai was generous with his exnation, "This is a Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, the best of whale jellies. I''ll buy it and resell it, and I''ll make at least this much." Ling Bai held up five fingers. 500,000! "You''re truly a prodigy of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, with a full talent for finding bargains..." Ma Xiaotao was speechless; the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower''s true legacy had found a worthy sessor! As Ling Bai was about to pay at the counter on the west side, Ling Luochen suddenly appeared beside him like a ghost, holding a voucher with the Treasure Pavilion''s logo. "Whale jelly receipt, I wrote your name. I''ll send it to the inner courtyard with the Radiant Glory tomorrow morning. Don''t forget to sign for it." While Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao were chatting, the action-oriented Ling Luochen had already paid at the front desk and even had the receipt ready! "Thank you, I''ll pay you back double the cost of the whale jelly another day." Given their distant rtionship, Ling Bai never expected Ling Luochen to go to such lengths. He immediately made a promise. Ma Xiaotao, on the other hand, was furious, her pink eyes fixed on Ling Luochen, as if to say, who are you, get out of her body! Qian Fufu by the Daming Lake would cry! The treasure viewing tour ended perfectly. On the way back to Shrek Academy, the three of them chatted aimlessly. "Do you know, a week from now, the outer courtyard''s upgrade exams will be over, and they will start selecting the reserve team for the next Shrek Seven Monsters for the Soul Master Tournament," Ma Xiaotao said. "It''s usually around this time," Ling Luochen added. "Can we go to the outer courtyard to watch?" Ling Bai knew how much blood and tears Ning Tian and Wu Feng had shed, and he looked forward to them avenging their past humiliation and winning the position of the Shrek Seven Monsters reserve team. He wanted to be a witness. "Watching..." Ma Xiaotao hesitated, "Theoretically, Elder Xuan hasn''t forbidden it, but normally, the main Shrek Seven Monsters should maintain a high and mysterious image." "That''s easy, we can watch secretly. I''ll ask Yao Haoxuan to gather everyone. He likes to join in the fun and will surely drag others along to watch." Besides Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, the other four main Shrek Seven Monsters, Dai Yueheng, Gongyang Mo, Xi Xi, and Yao Haoxuan, had a slightly better rtionship with Ling Bai. Yao Haoxuan, with his more outgoing personality, was the right person to ask for this kind of thing. "That''s fine, we can get to know our future teammates in advance," Ma Xiaotao agreed. "We can also make a bet. Each of us picks an outer courtyard disciple and bets on whether they will be selected for the reserve team. The loser must sit out the first elimination match and not participate, watching others perform!" "Ning Tian." Ling Bai unconditionally supported his childhood friend. "Biased, I bet on Xu San Shi." Ma Xiaotao was familiar with Xu San Shi''s strength and believed that the outer courtyard''s top defensive soul master should be selected. "Jiang Nan Nan," Ling Luochen said softly. She had been in the inner courtyard for less than three years but had heard of the powerful soul skills of the Flexible Bone Rabbit Jiang Nan Nan. "May the best win, no cheating!" ... A weekter, at the Soul Conductor Department''s No. 1 experimental field. "Xiao Tian, I''ve fixed Ling Bai''s Tier 8 Triggered Soul Shield. I promise to return the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty to him before the Soul Master Tournament opens!" "Thank you, Grand Tutor." The Deputy Dean of the Soul Conductor Department, Qian Duoduo, handed the Tier 8 Soul Conductor Shield to Ning Tian. On the second day of the school term, he had humbly asked Ning Tian to lend him the Tier 8 peak Soul Conductor Thousand Charm Demon Beauty for research, coinciding with Ling Bai''s desire to find a high-level soul conductor to repair the Soul Shield. After a brief discussion, they agreed that before the Soul Master Tournament, Qian Duoduo would repair the Soul Shield, with Ling Bai covering the material costs, and Qian Duoduo''s reward would be the opportunity to study the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty for a while. "By the way, today, the core disciples of the outer courtyard will have apetition. The seven winners willplete a special task together." Qian Duoduo looked around to ensure no one was nearby before whispering, "That''s just a cover to fool the simple-minded. In reality, it''s to select the reserve team for the Shrek Seven Monsters. Try your best to win! Last year, Fu Fu was kicked out of the main team, and your teacher was angry for three days and three nights. This year, the Soul Conductor Department has sent three core disciples, you and Fan Yu''s two apprentices. You must make the Soul Conductor Department proud!" "Don''t worry, Grand Tutor. There''s a chance that all three of us from the Soul Conductor Department will be selected this year, a first in history," Ning Tian''s smile was perfect, without a single w. "Hehe, then I''ll ride on Old Yan''s neck and y the seesaw!" "Grand Tutor, I''ll go now." "Mm, good luck!" Ning Tian left the experimental field, and Wu Feng had been waiting for a long time. She hid her smile, her face expressionless, and looked up at the sky. The weather was clear and sunny, a good omen. "Let''s go, Xiaofeng. The time hase for us to wash away our humiliation."

All core disciples under the age of fifteen gathered here, with a total of twenty-six from the Battle Soul Department. Thirteen of them were second-year students: Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Xie Huanyue, the Lan Sisters, Huang Chutian, Cao Jinxuan, and Zhou Sichen. It was evident that the talent of this batch of students would stand out even in the thousand-year history of Shrek Academy. But standing at the forefront of the Battle Soul Department, exuding the most formidable presence, were the three fifth-year Soul Masters: Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, and Jiang Nan Nan. Standing distinctly apart from the twenty-six Battle Soul students was the tall and dark- skinned He Caitou, the sole representative of the Soul Engineering Department and the only official Soul Master Tutor in the arena. Twenty-seven core disciples from the two departments were vying for seven spots, and a palpable tension filled the air as everyone became each other''spetitors. Ning Tian and Wu Feng stood among the crowd, nked by Xie Huanyue, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Huang Chutian. The six of them, who had all been defeated by Huo Yuhao in the Freshman Challenge, had temporarily formed a Losers'' Alliance. In the distance, a wobbly, elderly figure slowly entered the Battle Soul Arena. Most of his face was obscured by disheveled hair, but his distinctive image-holding a chicken leg in his left hand and a wine gourd in his right-perfectly identified him as Elder Xuan, the Taotie Douluo. Elder Xuan''s steps were unsteady, and the students couldn''t help but wonder if he would trip and fall t on his face at any moment. He scanned the core disciples and said with a blurry voice, "Little Wang, are everyone here?" Wang Yan, who had taken over the management of the second-year ss after Zhou Yi was transferred to the Soul Engineering Department, stepped forward and respectfully bowed. "Elder Xuan, there are twenty-six Battle Soul students and one Soul Engineering student, all twenty-seven core disciples are present and ready to start the assessment." "Good." Elder Xuan took a bite of his chicken leg and mumbled, "Listen carefully, you little brats. The core disciple assessment is a group Free-for-All. You can attack freely within the Battle Soul Arena, with no rules. Fight however you want, but there''s one requirement: use your maximumbat strength. Don''t worry about the consequences; I guarantee your safety! If you surrender or are rescued by me, you''re out. Thest seven standing will be the winners of this group Free-for-All and will be assigned a special mission in the near future. I''ll announce the start of thepetition, and please have the teachers of each ss leave the arena first." "Free-for-All... Good, good, good!" Dai Huabin''s eyes gleamed with fierce determination as he openly stared at Huo Yuhao. In just one week since the start of the second year, the situation had drastically changed. Huo Yuhao had awakened his second Battle Soul, the Ice Green Scorpion, and brutally defeated the Millennium me Lion King during his upgrade assessment. From being an unremarkable and overlooked talent, he had transformed into Shrek Academy''s rising star. The Dean of the Battle Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe, personally spoke with him, and it was said that Huo Yuhao was deeply grateful when he left the Dean''s office. The key point was that Dai Huabin had bet on the upgrade assessment scores with Huo Yuhao, and the loser had to kowtow and shout, "I was wrong." Huo Yuhao had secured a perfect score with his Ultimate Ice, while Dai Huabin had narrowly lost. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Dai Huabin had to fulfill the bet, and in a fit of rage, he had hired assassins from the White Tiger Duke''s Manor to ambush Huo Yuhao on the way to the core disciples'' treasure viewing, but the attempt failed again. If it weren''t for the fact that the Star Luo White Tiger lineage was the descendant of the Seven Monsters'' leader, Dai Mubai, and that countless White Tigers had won the Soul Master Competition andpleted dangerous missions for Shrek Academy over the centuries, Dai Huabin would have been expelled already. Now, Dai Huabin found himself with a legitimate opportunity to fight to the death, and his adrenaline was surging, clearly excited to the extreme! The Ice Green Scorpion, though an Ultimate Ice, had only one Soul Ring. The White Tiger was a top-tier Battle Soul with strengths in closebat and physical prowess, and Dai Huabin''s thirty-seventh-level Soul Power far surpassed Huo Yuhao''s twenty-third-level Soul Power. In a one-on-one fight, Dai Huabin was confident he would win! Meanwhile, the Official Shrek Seven Monsters quietly hid behind a pir, one after another, peering out to watch the spectacle. Before thepetition, Qian Duoduo had borrowed the Thousand Charm Beauty for research, so Ling Bai used an eighth-level Soul Engineering aura barrier to conceal their presence. Yao Haoxuan whispered, "Xiao Tao is betting on Xu San Shi, Yao Heng is betting on Dai Huabin, Ling Bai is betting on Ning Tian, Ling Luochen is betting on Jiang Nan Nan, Xi Xi is betting on Zhu Lu, Gongyang Mo is betting on He Caitou, and I''m betting on Bei Bei. Let''s all honor our bets, and the losers must not interfere in the final round, just watch the winners show off!" "Fine, fine, let''s honor our bets." The others said impatiently. Yao Haoxuan smiled in satisfaction, then suddenly remembered something and said with a strange expression, "Speaking of which, Gongyang Mo, you''re a pure traitor to the Battle Soul Department, betting on a Soul Engineering student!" "Just kidding, I, Gongyang Mo, am a loyalist of the Battle Soul Department!" Gongyang Mo firmly denied being a traitor and exined, "Think about it, we, the official Seven Monsters, don''t have a single Soul Master Tutor. If the next reserve team also doesn''t have a spot for a Soul Master Tutor, the Soul Engineering Department will explode, and Deans Xian and Qian will have a falling out! I heard Qian Fufu mention He Caitou, whose talent in Soul Engineering far surpasses his. He has already broken through to the Soul Master level and be a fourth-level Soul Master Tutor. Considering human nature, interests, and strength, He Caitou is bound to be selected for the reserve team." After speaking, Gongyang Mo licked his lips, feeling incredibly clever, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn''t receive the epiphanies and thumbs-up from the others. Dai Yao Heng scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "I get the logic, but why are you licking your lips so creepily?" "What are you talking about, you pervert!" Gongyang Mo''s cheeks turned red, and his delicate face had a somewhat alluring quality. He whispered, "Cai Tou has such dark skin and a strong build, he must be very powerful!" Oh, my, a guy! The three straight guys felt a chill and quickly retreated behind the girls, eyeing Gongyang Mo warily as he pinched his fingers in a delicate manner. "Stop messing around, He Caitou still has to win the Free-for-All. After all, the winners of the Free-for-All joining the reserve team is an unwritten rule of the academy." Ma Xiaotao stifled augh and pulled Ling Bai, who for the first time in over a year showed a deep-seated fear of someone. "Pfft, the academy previously stipted that the official Seven Monsters must include a Soul Master Tutor. Whether this unwritten rule of the Free-for-All holds any weight is up to the Sea God Pavilion elders." Yao Haoxuan grinned, "Anyway, I bet on Bei Bei, the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus, the strongest offensive Soul Master in the Outer Academy!" Upon hearing this, Ling Bai was slightly surprised. Shrek Academy truly had talent, and this was a spot-on observation! In the Battle Soul Arena, after hearing the Free-for-All rules for the twenty-seven-person melee, some core disciples began to stir. Could second-year students really be on par with fifth-year students? This was clearly unfair! Elder Xuan didn''t give them a chance to protest. He raised his wine gourd and shouted, "The competition begins!" "Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao!" As soon as thepetition started, Huo Yuhao immediately joined forces with his two partners. No one in the arena had the power to single-handedly dominate everyone, so forming small teams was the best strategy. The three fifth-year Soul Masters had the same idea. Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, and Jiang Nan Nan stood back-to-back. The Outer Academy''s twin stars, Bei Bei and Xu San Shi, finally revealed their close friendship, and although Jiang Nan Nan seemed to want to kick Xu San Shi, she knew he was reliable in critical moments and would sacrifice himself to protect her. There were twenty-six Battle Soul students in total. Besides the three Soul Masters and thirteen second-year students, the remaining ten were third- and fourth-year Soul Exalted students, who also formed two teams. "Susu, Luolu,e help us!" Ning Tian called out to the Lan Sisters. "Sure, Tian!" Ning Tian had always been well-liked, and the Lan Sisters, being simple and easily swayed, joined the team without hesitation. "Senior Brother, you''re a fourth-level Soul Master Tutor. With you, we''ll have exactly seven people!" Huo Yuhao loudly reminded Bei Bei, who immediately understood. With four Soul Masters and three second-year students, the new generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters was taking shape. "San Shi, Nan Nan, let''s go! Prioritize the Soul Exalted!" The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus soul attached to Bei Bei, turning his arms into dragon-like forms. Four Soul Rings, recognized as the perfectbination in the Soul Master world, rose from his body, and he charged toward the Soul Exalted team like an arrow from a bow. "I''ll take the damage, you hide behind me!" Xu San Shi raised his Profound Turtle Shell Shield, assuming a heroic stance as if ready to face any danger for Jiang Nan Nan. "Get lost!" Jiang Nan Nan replied with a friendly "get lost," and her body, now transformed by the Soft Bone Rabbit soul, became more slender. A pair of white rabbit ears sprouted from her head, and she stepped on the Profound Turtle Shell Shield tounch herself into the air, coordinating with Bei Bei to attack the Soul Exalted. "ss President, take me with you!" Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen suddenly realized they were on their own and desperately cried out to Huo Yuhao for help. However, a metallic nging sound followed, and He Caitou immediately deployed the Soul Engineering Cannon tform tactic, armed with a variety of guns and cannons. He unleashed a barrage of fire on the Losers'' Alliance, and the first soul cannon shells from a distance landed right on their faces! In the next second, Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen tragically appeared next to Elder Xuan, each receiving a chicken leg as a punishment. "Eliminated at the start, you idiots!" Hearing Elder Xuan''s angry scolding, the two wanted to cry but couldn''t. A fourth-level Soul Master Tutor''s firepower was overwhelming; how could mere Great Soul Masters survive? Subsequently, the Losers'' Alliance demonstrated the correct approach. The Seven Treasures Crystal Tower''s force, speed, and attack enhancements entered the bodies of the Lan Sisters and Xie Huanyue, and the soul fusion skill Heavenly Net blocked the sky, with loud explosions echoing continuously. The remained strong, and the few stray cannon shells that prated it were intercepted by Xie Huanyue''s high defense as a Pachyderm Elephant. "Phew..." He Caitou exhaled a breath, the spirit-boosting cigar in his mouth half-consumed. The Soul Engineering Cannon tform was the most soul power-consuming tactic for a Soul Master Tutor, and after one round of concentrated fire, his soul power had decreased by a third, and the results were not satisfactory. The key targets, Ning Tian, Dai Huabin, and Xie Huanyue, were unharmed. As a fellow Soul Engineering student, Ning Tian was also one of He Caitou''s targets, but they needed to form a team of seven, so Ning Tian had to be included. "Seven Treasures, the first is: Force! The second is: Speed! The third is: Attack!" This time, Ning Tian chose to enhance the ten senior Soul Exalted students. Huo Yuhao hadN?v(el)B\\jnn already activated his mental detection sharing, and Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, and Jiang Nan Nan were pushing the Soul Exalted back. If they didn''t help them, the three Soul Masters would finish off the Soul Exalted and thene for them! The Three Apertures Control Heart gave Ning Tian exquisite control, and the ten beams of light each had their own function. Offensive soul masters received attack enhancements, defensive soul masters received force enhancements, and agile soul masters received speed enhancements. With a 40% high-level enhancement, the ten Soul Exalted felt like they had divine assistance, and they united to besiege the three Soul Masters. "Xie Huanyue, protect Ning Tian, Heavenly Net intercepts the soul engineering, everyone else, don''t just stand there, settle your scores and take your revenge!" Wu Feng called out to Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Huang Chutian to attack, with amon target: Huo Yuhao! The colorful light from the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower entered their bodies, and their momentum surged. The four of them pounced on Huo Yuhao like fierce tigers descending from the mountains. "First soul skill, Cauldron''s Quake!" "First soul skill, Wing Scissors!" Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao naturally couldn''t stand by and watch. The Three-Life Soul Suppressing Cauldron and Goddess Butterfly moved to block the four attackers. With the enhancement of the world''s top support soul, the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower, and facing four attackers, their efforts seemed futile and ridiculous. Huang Chutian, the Titan Ape, firmly grabbed the Three-Life Soul Suppressing Cauldron, while the Goddess Butterfly''s Wing Scissors fell into Dai Huabin''s tiger ws. Wu Feng and Zhu Lu broke through the blockade and charged straight at Huo Yuhao. The humiliation and resentment in their hearts were no less than those of Ning Tian and Dai Huabin. These were their secret crushes and future husbands, and they couldn''t possibly let their loved ones be humiliated! Huo Yuhao didn''t panic in the face of the two women''s fierce attack. He was no longer the worthless Huo Yuhao that everyone could step on; he was now a dual-soul, ultimate soul, and an unparalleled genius! Soul switch, Ice Green Scorpion! Countless diamond ice crystals covered his arms, and the Ice Green Scorpion tattoo on his back seemed toe to life. A white soul ring pulsated around his body, and the red dragon''s red ws and the dark cat''s ck ws approached in an instant. The white soul ring glowed brightly, and the temperature around him plummeted as the Ultimate Ice domain descended, making it feel like they were in and of eternal ice and snow! The Ice Green Scorpion''s first soul skill, Ultimate Ice Domain! Because the Ice Empress had rejected the god-making n, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm could only find a ten-thousand-year-old Ice Green Scorpion for Huo Yuhao. It took two days of careful selection to find a ten-thousand-year-old Ice Green Scorpion with royal blood, which was the highest soul ring Huo Yuhao could absorb with the help of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm used its mental power to create an ice silkworm lure, luring the ten-thousand-year-old Ice Green Scorpion away from its n, and then used its vast mental power to incapacitate the Ice Green Scorpion. Huo Yuhao then dealt the final blow and sessfully killed it. The royal bloodline Ice Green Scorpion came with a natural Ultimate Ice Domain. It was said that the Ice Empress''s Ultimate Ice Domain had evolved into the Eternal Freeze Domain, capable of instantly freezing thousands of miles. The power of the Ice Green Scorpion''s natural domain was evident, which was why the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had insisted on choosing a royal bloodline!

The Ultimate Ice Domain''s aura was too obvious, and the Snow Empress in the Sea of Spirits was enraged. Ling Bai had once mentioned that Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nned to deceive the Ice Empress into joining them on the Path to Divinity. She could guess that the two must have somehow stolen the Ice Azure King Scorpion''s bloodline! "Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is an unprecedented Millennium Soul Beast, granting Huo Yuhao a second ice attribute Spirit Soul without a soul." The two were bound by life and death, and Ling Bai revealed all of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm''s secrets to the Snow Empress: "What Huo Yuhao absorbs as his first soul ring determines what his ice attribute Soul Power will be. They initially hoped for the Ice Azure Imperial Scorpion as the second Soul Power, but the crucial Molted Exoskeleton was taken by me over a year ago, causing the Ice Empress to unexpectedly break free from the Mental Cage, triggering the Northern Reaches beast tide. They didn''t dare provoke the Ice Empress and instead chose to attack an Ice Azure King Scorpion, taking its soul ring." "Indeed, we should have eliminated the root of the problemst time!" The Snow Empress''s anger affected the Sea of Spirits, and snowkes asrge as goose feathers fell, covering the greennd. If the Ice Azure King Scorpion grew strong enough, it could break through the Ten-Thousand-Year Cultivation. With a powerful bloodline, breaking through the second and third Great Tribtions was not out of the question; the Ice Empress was a living example. The Heavenly Tribtion of the Ice Empress, the Titan Snow Demon King, and the Ice Bear King, the three great beasts, had all descended within ten thousand years. The probability of them surviving the Great Tribtion was very low, with the highest being the Titan Snow Demon King at only thirty percent. If she and Ling Bai failed to ascend to divinity, the Northern Reaches would need the Ice Azure King Scorpion, a top-tier Soul Beast, to guard thend. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm''s actions were cutting off the Northern Reaches'' future! Moreover, where did Huo Yuhao''s Ice Azure Scorpion Spirit Soul''s other eight soul ringse from? The answer was clear: the Northern Reaches, the gathering ce of the world''s strongest ice attribute Soul Beasts! Thinking of the possibility of eight more powerful Northern Reaches Soul Beasts falling to Huo Yuhao, the Snow Empress was even more anxious. She said in a deep voice: "Ling Bai, if they dared to have designs on Bing''er before, and now they''ve killed a ten- thousand-year-old Ice Azure King Scorpion, what if one day that human named Huo Yuhao needs more Northern Reaches Soul Beasts to be a stepping stone on his Path to Divinity? I am very, very, very worried." The Snow Empress repeated the word "very" three times before continuing: "Tianmeng Ice Silkworm''s mental power is the most powerful in the world. If pushed to the extreme, it''s difficult to deal with its self-destruction, but even if you can''t kill them, you must do everything in your power to weaken them. This is not just for the peace of the Northern Reaches, but also because you are both on the Path to Divinity. The resources of the Tang Sect Continent are fixed, and you are naturalpetitors. The survival of the fittest applies to the Soul Beast world just as it does to humans!" At this point, the Snow Empress paused, her tone bing even heavier: "Ling Bai, two lines destined to intersect, if they cannot form a perfect, they will certainly end in countless deadlocks... You cannot allow them to pose even the slightest threat to our Path to Divinity!" "Snow Empress, I understand your kindness and concern. I know exactly what Path to Divinity Huo Yuhao is preparing to take. Last time, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm offered ten-thousand- year-old essence to save its life, and the energy stored in its body has been reduced to nine hundred thousand years. If one, then two, we will... slowly... consume them..." Looking far into the Ultimate Ice Domain, where Huo Yuhao stood confidently, a sh of crimson light appeared in Ling Bai''s eyes, like a demonic spider viewing its prey already entangled in its web, still unaware of its fate, revealing cold and bloodthirsty fangs in the dark! In the Soul Dueling Area, Huo Yuhao suddenly shivered for no reason, muttering: "What''s strange, how can the ultimate ice be cold?" Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Huo Yuhao focused entirely on dealing with Wu Feng and Zhu Lu. The extreme cold environment of the Ultimate Ice Domain greatly enhanced hisbat power, and the strength of the Ice Azure Scorpion allowed him to fight against the Red Dragon and the Netherworld Spirit Cat! "This is what a powerful attack-type Soul Master feels like..." Huo Yuhao felt a sense of exhration. Men enjoy the thrill of closebat and direct attacks rather than hiding behind and casting spells! At this moment, Wu Feng and Zhu Lu were in a terrible state. The terrifying cold released by the Ultimate Ice Domain made their blood seem to freeze, and their bodies, frozen in the posture of attack, could not move. Seeing this, the elder watching from the side smiled in satisfaction. It was not in vain that Shrek Academy had held a Sea God Pavilion meeting specifically for Huo Yuhao five days ago. Domain Soul Skill, Dual Soul Power, Main Body Spirit Beast, Mental Spirit Soul, Ultimate Spirit Soul¡ªthese five buffs made Huo Yuhao no less powerful than Ling Bai''s Six-Winged Angel, qualifying him to be a sessor of Shrek. Huo Yuhao''s weak background was his greatest highlight in Shrek''s eyes. After a discussion among the Sea God Pavilion elders, they decided to fully recruit Huo Yuhao. In just five days, Huo Yuhao was swayed by the grand ns of Shrek Academy, while Ling Bai, after more than a year of enrollment, maintained a normal student-school rtionship. In the battlefield, although he temporarily controlled the two women with the Ultimate Ice Domain, Huo Yuhao did not stop his attack, and the elder did not intervene. During the Ice Azure Scorpion''s possession, Huo Yuhao''s eyes glowed with a vibrant green, a natural phenomenon for a Beast Soul Master in battle. Now, his eyes, including the whites, werepletely transformed into a transparent green, like two shimmering gemstones. To Wu Feng, Zhu Lu, and the seven chosen ones hiding and watching, Huo Yuhao''s body suddenly underwent a strange transformation. A green light as thick as an arm shot out from his right hand. At the moment the green light was emitted, even through clothing, everyone could clearly see Huo Yuhao''s palm bones, arm bones, and even his entire right arm glowing a strong green. The ten-thousand-year-old Ice Azure Scorpion''s right arm soul bone skill, Ice Azure Fury! The ultra-low temperature and impact of the ultimate ice hit Wu Feng and Zhu Lu head-on, sending them flying and deeply embedding them into the ground of the Soul Dueling Area. Ayer of thin ice formed around them, and a cold, eerie chill spread. A double kill in one strike, but just as Huo Yuhao''s eyes were filled with excitement, the ice began to melt, and a bright light erupted from deep within the ground! "A mere Ice Azure Scorpion... your Ice Azure Fury is far inferior to that bastard''s Angelic Sword." A red figure slowly emerged from the light, as if wearing a dragon-scale armor made ofva and mes, with eyes burning a wild, fiery red. Wu Feng! She had found a hot spot within the Ultimate Ice Domain! "Dragon Transformation!?" Huo Yuhao did not recognize Wu Feng''s transformation, but Bei Bei was the first to exim in shock. Theoretically, all Dragon Soul Masters couldplete Dragon Transformation, but so far on the Tang Sect Continent, only the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon lineage had truly achieved stable Dragon Transformation and passed it down as a secret technique. Bei Bei was surprised to find that Wu Feng''s Red Dragon Dragon Transformation was not like the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon, where each level up after level thirty added a new part to the Dragon Transformation. She directly condensed the Dragon Armor Form, which would be more powerful as her strength increased.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "Bei Bei, don''t worry about them! I can''t hold out much longer!" Xu San Shi raised his Xuanwu Turtle Shell Shield, blocking five or six attacks and roaring. The ten Soul Respects, enhanced by the Ning Tian Seven Treasures Tower, wereparable to Soul Masters. When Huo Yuhao switched to the Ice Azure Scorpion, they lost the assistance of shared mental detection, and the situation became precarious. "Final trump card!" Bei Bei said two words and instantly activated the Holy Dragon Bloodline within him! "Let''s do it!" Xu San Shi roared to the sky, and the small snakes on his Xuanwu Turtle Shell Shield began to move! The Divine ck Tortoise Bloodline, unleashed! Jiang Nan Nan: "You two get to use your trump cards and not me!?" On the other side, Huo Yuhao locked onto Wu Feng, who was undergoing some strange changes. In the past, every time he saw Wu Feng, she emitted a scorching, explosive aura like a volcano ready to erupt. After the Dragon Transformation, she became calm, her slender and fiery figure appearing even more beautiful under the red glow of the, as if it could set everyone''s hearts on fire. Wu Feng exhaled a breath of scorching heat like a volcano, and her first and second soul rings shed simultaneously, sending a massive pir of fire soaring into the sky, bombarding Huo Yuhao with intense heat! Red Dragon''s first soul skill, Dragon Fire, and second soul skill, Dragon Wrath! Combined soul skill, Dragon Wrath me! "Boom-" The explosion echoed throughout the Soul Dueling Area, and Huo Yuhao, covered in soot, barely managed to get up. Fortunately, the ultimate ice gave him superior resistance to both cold and heat; otherwise, he would have been sent to meet his great-grandmother with a single Dragon Wrath me. Looking around the various battlefields, Huo Yuhao''s heart sank. Among the three Soul Masters, Bei Bei and Xu San Shi had used their ultimate moves but did not gain a decisive advantage. Each elimination of a senior Soul Respect cost them a significant amount of Soul Power, and even when they won, it was a Pyrrhic victory. He Tougou''s Soul Cannon was fierce but had poor uracy and was trapped in the Lan Sisters'' Heavenly Net. Xie Huanyue, relying on his toughness, kept approaching He Tougou, while Ning Tian used two third-tier Soul Conductors from behind, causing He Tougou significant trouble. The third-tier Soul Conductor, Soul Power Exhaustion Beam, doubled the Soul Power consumption rate of the target, striking the Soul Cannon''s weakness. The third-tier Soul Conductor, Illusionary Mist, released a colorful mist that interfered with vision and mental power, significantly reducing He Tougou''s uracy with his Soul Conductors. After studying at the Soul Conductor Academy for several months, Ning Tian had heard that He Tougou, known as the mobile arsenal, favored Soul Cannon tactics. Considering He Tougou was Huo Yuhao''s senior, Ning Tian specifically prepared these two Soul Conductors for him. The effect was excellent! The four Soul Masters were deeply mired and could not spare attention elsewhere. Looking back, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were fighting fiercely with Dai Huabin and Huang Chutian, while Zhu Lu gradually recovered and joined Wu Feng in a nking attack. Huo Yuhao''s heart sank even more. "Wang Dong, Golden Path!" Huo Yuhao shouted, this was their only chance to turn the tide! Wang Dong, hearing Huo Yuhao''s shout, blocked the White Tiger Light Wave with the Light of the Butterfly God and immediately took to the air, elerating to embrace Huo Yuhao tightly before Wu Feng and Zhu Lu could react! The Light of the Butterfly God and the Spirit Eyes, two massive figures merged, emitting a dazzling blue, gold, and purple light that stretched straight ahead, leaving a trail of dazzling and distorted colors in its wake. Their Soul Power burned within them, releasing a surge of energy from their potential,unching their all-or-nothing, strongest attack! The brilliance of withering, the Golden Path! Their target was not Wu Feng and Zhu Lu but the Soul Respects. Huo Yuhao had chosen the angle well, and six Soul Respects stood in a straight line! He knew that as long as Bei Bei and Xu San Shi were free, dealing with the others would be like taking something out of a pocket! "I''ve been waiting for the Golden Path!" Dai Huabin''s eyes gleamed. In the freshmen final, he and Zhu Lu''s Netherworld White Tiger had been ruled a loss by Du Weilun without directly shing with the Golden Path. They had always been, why should the Netherworld White Tiger, renowned for thousands of years, be weaker than the Golden Path! "Roar!!" The tiger''s roar shook the heavens, and a fierce wind rose. The Netherworld White Tiger charged at the Golden Path, and then... It turned into a golden statue! Talk may be cheap, but a 100% Soul Powerpatibility is no joke! He Tougou''s Soul Power was almost depleted, and thebination of Ning Tian and Xie Huanyue''s Heavenly Net was too effective against him. He used hisst bit of Soul Power to shoot a fourth-tier Soul Conductor at Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, who were unable to resist after the Soul Power Fusion Skill was dissolved. The next second, the elder saved He Tougou, Dai Huabin, and Zhu Lu, signaling their elimination. The Golden Path was held back by the Netherworld White Tiger for only a second, but in that second, a strong Soul Power fluctuation emerged from Ning Tian, converging on the center of his forehead. The Seven Treasures Tower rose in front of him, and his three soul rings merged into one. Secret technique, Fusion Ring! Behind Ning Tian, a faint green shadow appeared, resembling a human woman with snake hair and a coiled tail. Human body, snake tail, the Queen of Snakes, Medusa! Ning Tian''s azure eyes turned a terrifying white, and a white glow spread over them. Two ghastly white beams shot out, heading straight for the Golden Path! The ten-thousand-year-old Medusa''s head soul bone skill, Medusa''s Gaze! Medusa''s Gaze collided with the Golden Path from the side, turning the golden light into a ghastly white. Then, something even more astonishing happened: the intangible energy of the Golden Path transformed into a solid form, a ghastly white stone path crashing to the ground! The Soul Power Fusion Skill was dissolved, and Wu Feng gave Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong a heavy blow each before the elder intervened and took them away. The other battlefields gradually ended, with Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, and Jiang Nan Nan eliminating the ten Soul Respects, but it was a Pyrrhic victory. Bei Bei''s Soul Power was exhausted, and Xu San Shi was weakened after the Xuanwu Bloodline''s burst. Jiang Nan Nan, in slightly better condition, was panting heavily, clearly at the end of her strength. Huang Chutian was defeated by Xiao Xiao, who was then taken down by Wu Feng and Xie Huanyue, both eliminated. Eight people remained in the Soul Dueling Area: Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, Jiang Nan Nan, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Xie Huanyue, and the Lan Sisters. The oue was about to be revealed. Ning Tian''s Fusion Ring Soul Power was depleted, and he was gulping down a milk bottle to recover. The Lan Sisters'' Soul Power Fusion Skill, Heavenly Net, had ended, leaving them with less than ten percent of their fighting strength. Even in their nearly full strength, Xie Huanyue and Wu Feng at thirty percent were too much for Jiang Nan Nan to handle. "Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, what do we do?" she asked with a grim expression. The oppressive aura of the Pi Pi Elephant and Red Dragon Soul Powers was overwhelming, and the others were like ravenous wolves, ready to pounce. "This..." Bei Bei smiled bitterly; they were at their wits'' end. "Elder, I surrender!" A loud voice suddenly rang out. "San Shi /Xu San Shi!" Facing the bewildered looks of his teammates, Xu San Shi shrugged. "I don''t want Nan Nan to risk her life, so I surrender." The oue was decided: Bei Bei, Jiang Nan Nan, Ning Tian, Xie Huanyue, Wu Feng, Lan Susu, and Lan Luolu! "Haha, Ling Bai, Ling Luochen, and I won!" Yao Haoxuan cheered. "You guys just watched us dominate!" "That Red Dragon girl is pretty good; she''ll definitely be the third active volcano in the Inner Academy in the future," Ma Xiaotao praised. Upon hearing this, Gongyang Mo and Yao Haoxuan''s faces showed a hint of cold sweat. Sister, two active volcanoes are already overwhelming; adding another one, will the male students in the Inner Academy even survive? "Ling Bai, why aren''t you saying anything? You should be happy to dominate the tournament!" Yao Haoxuan noticed Ling Bai''s unusual silence. "Do you feel it? The elder''s expression seems a bit grim." The Shrek Seven Monsters all looked over, and indeed, the elder''s brows were knitted, and his expression was extremely grim, foretelling a storm. "You won." The elder left the words and vanished, heading towards the Golden Tree on Sea God Ind, his vast mental power spreading to the elders. "Everyone, I''m convening a Sea God Pavilion meeting!"

The bottle mmed onto the wooden table, Wu Feng''s cheeks flushed as she shouted, "Shrek Academy is being unreasonable! I fought my way into the reserve team, and they just reced me without a word!" After saying this, Wu Feng grabbed the bottle and downed another swig, making Ning Tian pat her back with concern, "Don''t drink anymore, Xiao Feng, it''s bad for your health." Wu Feng, with blurred vision from the alcohol, struggled to focus her eyes on Ning Tian''s face. Her lips pouted and she leaned in, mumbling, "Hehe, Ning Tian... my Ning Tian... kissy kissy!" Ning Tian didn''t resist, thinking it was normal for girls to be close. But the next moment, a hand intervened, blocking Wu Feng''s impure kiss. "Why are you sticking out your tongue!" Ling Bai instantly retracted his hand as if electrocuted, grabbing a few napkins to wipe furiously. "I''m willing!" Wu Feng stuck out her tongue, emboldened by the alcohol, daring to challenge Ling Bai. Ning Tian half-hugged Wu Feng, helping her straighten her clothes and messy red hair. Her azure eyes looked at Ling Bai with a bitter smile, "Brother Bai, don''t take it to heart, the reserve team list for the Seven Oddities came out today, and she''s upset." "I understand." Ling Bai activated his Level 8 Soul Conductor aura barrier to prevent the tavern guests from overhearing their conversation. "Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, Jiang Nan Nan, He Caitou, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and you, Shrek Academy has removed four of the Great Brawl Selection winners and reced them with people they believe will bring more benefits." Looking at the distant, brilliantly lit Shrek Academy, Ling Bai shook his head in sigh. The continent''s top academy was already hollow and on the verge of copse. After Elder Mu, the Dragon God Douluo, fell two yearster, Taotie Douluo Elder Xuan and Mingfeng Douluo Elder Yan Shaozhe took over. How much longer could this ancient institution, standing for ten thousand years, hold up? No one knew. "Ma Xiaotao got the reserve team list from Xu San Shi and told us. The other main selection members were all surprised, some even angry." Ling Bai revealed the intelligence about the main Seven Oddities: "They all climbed their way up, risking their lives to secure a spot in the reserve team during the Great Brawl. For five years, they''ve been on edge, striving to defend their title as Shrek Academy''s Seven Oddities in the Seven Monsters Challenge. This is a significant part of their lives from age fifteen to twenty. Now, it''s being given away as a favor." The intention of Shrek Academy''s predecessors was clear: the Outer Academy Great Brawl Selection was to warn students that Soul Masters not only need to cultivate soul power but also possess wisdom,panions, cooperation, and luck. Of course, the winners of the Great Brawl Selection are not necessarily the most powerful individuals among the core disciples. Therefore, the reserve team serves as an incentive for those who lost, allowing them to redeem themselves in the Seven Monsters Challenge five yearster. The losers fight hard to challenge, while the winners defend their positions. The Great Brawl Selection fosters a five-year healthypetition among geniuses. However, Shrek Academy broke the rules for Huo Yuhao, Xu San Shi, and others, nting a seed of doubt: If I defeat Huo Yuhao in five years, will I really rece his position among the Seven Oddities? "What I''m most upset about isn''t losing the reserve team spot, but not being able to go to the Soul Master Tournament with you guys!" Wu Feng suddenly sat up, pointing at Ling Bai with a mix of sorrow and anger, "Only the two of you, Ning Tian will be at your mercy!" "What are you saying!" This time, Ning Tian was the first to react, her face turning beet red as she swiftly covered Wu Feng''s mouth. "Mumble mumble mumble!" Wu Feng''s voice was muffled. Ling Bai nced at Wu Feng with a smile, not bothering to argue. If he really wanted to take advantage of Ning Tian, what could she do? At best, she could share the burden. Soul Masters, like anyone else, can get drunk. Wu Feng, who hadn''t used her soul power to counteract the alcohol, soon fell asleep in Ning Tian''s arms. "Brother Bai, can you carry her back?" Ning Tian looked at the unconscious Wu Feng, troubled. "Sure." Ling Bai ced his left hand under Wu Feng''s shoulder des, his fingers tucked under her left armpit, and his right hand under her knees, letting the sleeping Wu Feng rest her head on his shoulder. With a gentle effort, he lifted her into a bridal carry. Ling Bai exhaled, surprised at how light Wu Feng felt despite her tall and curvy figure. "Actually, I said carry..." Ning Tian suspected she had said it wrong. "No problem, carrying and holding are about the same." The three left the tavern, the vendors'' cries filling their ears. "Candied haws!" "Selling coal... selling bags! Top-quality soul beast leather bags!" "Brother Bai, should we report this to Mother and ask the sect to intervene?" Ning Tian asked. Ling Bai thought for a moment and shook his head, "Shrek Academy''s approach is very cunning. Removing your position has severed the thousand-year friendship between the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and Shrek Academy. But Wu Feng is from a coteral branch of the sect. Ignoring her rtionship with us, she''s often treated like a high-level ve, and few would offend a massive institution for a coteral disciple." He referred to the four major single-attribute ns of the Hao Tian Sect from ten thousand years ago. "Moreover, the Great Brawl Selection winners as the Seven Oddities reserve team is an unwritten rule. If they don''t want to y this year, what can you do?" "So Xiao Feng has to suffer..." Ning Tian gritted her teeth. Seeing her best friend treated unfairly and having to endure it herself was a bitter pill to swallow. "We''re not soft targets to be toyed with." Ling Bai''s eyes shed with determination, "We''re all in this tournament. If Shrek Academy loses, we''ll be remembered as the ones who ended their ten-thousand-year glory, bing aughingstock and stepping stone for the Sun Moon Empire. So, Shrek Academy must win this time. But for the next tournament, we can start our own team. You, me, Wu Feng, plus Xie Huanyue and the Lan sisters, and one more person. Since Shrek Academy looks down on them, we''ll defeat Shrek Academy and bury their most cherished ten-thousand-year glory." "Xie Huanyue and the Lan sisters are close to me, so we can absorb them into the sect in the future!" Ning Tian said firmly. Talented geniuses with weak backgrounds are liked by both Shrek Academy and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. "Brother Bai, are there any seniors from the Inner Academy who want to join the sect?" Ling Bai smiled mysteriously, "You don''t need to worry about the Inner Academy, everything is going smoothly." "You can''t bring a bunch of pretty seniors back to the sect, can you?" Ning Tian asked suspiciously, remembering what Ning Fengya had said about Ling Bai ying with different Inner Academy female students in Shrek City. Ling Bai''s expression froze, "Do I look like a lecherous ghost to you!" "Regardless of gender, talent and benefitse first." Ling Bai said seriously, "Be bold, let''s n the main Shrek Academy Seven Oddities." "Mother was able to take Father and Uncle Xie, two of the Seven Oddities, which was already a miracle..." Ning Tian hesitated, "Can we do it?" "Shrek Academy gives us the opportunity when we''re sleepy, focusing on benefits but ignoring the coldness of the heart. Disappointment umtes gradually, and the copse of a building doesn''t happen overnight. We need to take advantage of the situation, and... A crucial opportunity ising soon..." "Mmm..." As Ling Bai and Ning Tian were nning, Wu Feng''s crimson eyes opened slightly. From this angle, she suddenly noticed how handsome Ling Bai''s profile was, like a warm winter sun, clear and gentle. His golden hair, gently brushing against her face, felt ticklish and soothing. Then she realized her current state. Wait, a bridal carry? Wu Feng was stunned. It was her first time experiencing a bridal carry, and the feeling of beingpletely held by a man was both unfamiliar and strangely exciting. Ning Tian, I''m not pure anymore! ... Two weeks passed, and Elder Xuan visited the Outer Academy every day to guide the reserve team. The seven members were divided into different groups for battles to build teamwork. Ning Tian wasn''t targeted or ostracized. She had earned her spot in the reserve team through her own efforts. Initially, the four backdoor entrants-Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xu San Shi, and He Caitou-felt a bit uneasy around her, but they gradually rxed and focused on training. Today''s reserve team training was different. Seven students in blood-red uniforms stood in the center of the Soul Duel Arena. Huo Yuhao squinted, recognizing only one person: Ling Bai, who had single-handedly defeated four hundred students from his year. Standing with Ling Bai, and being seven in number, the answer was obvious. Elder Xuan said, "Everyone is here. I''ll be brief. In ten days, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Duel Tournament will begin. You can probably guess each other''s identities¡ªthe main Shrek Academy Seven Oddities and the reserve team. Today, you''ll get to know each other''s abilities." He turned to the reserve team, "Don''t think you''re just spectators in this tournament. Each of you will have a chance to participate. The early matches usually have weaker opponents, and your appearances will better conceal the main team''s abilities, especially Xiao Tao and Ling Bai. They, like you, are first-time participants in the Soul Master Tournament." The seven were both surprised and delighted, never expecting the reserve team to have a chance to represent Shrek Academy. "Alright, introduce yourselves, stating your soul beasts and soul power levels. Reserve team, you go first." Elder Xuan smiled. Bei Bei, the oldest, stepped forward, "I''m Bei Bei, soul beast Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus, Level 42 Strong-Attack Soul Master." "He Caitou, Level 4 Soul Conductor." "Xu San Shi, soul beast Mystic Turtle Shield, Level 43 Defense Soul Master." "Jiang Nan Nan, soul beast Flexible Bone Rabbit, Level 41 Agility-Attack Soul Master." "Ning Tian, soul beast Seven Treasures Crystal Tower, Level 36 Support Soul Exalted." Seeing Jiang Nan Nan and Ning Tian step forward, the Inner Academy students'' eyes lit up.N?v(el)B\\jnn Long suppressed by the Inner Academy''s live volcanoes, these two girls looked exceptionally beautiful. "I''m Huo Yuhao, dual soul beasts Spirit Eye and Ice Azure Scorpion, Level 23 Control and Strong-Attack Grand Soul Master." Thest one, Wang Dong, puffed out his chest proudly, "Wang Dong, dual soul beasts Light Goddess Butterfly and Heavenly Sun Hammer, Level 31 Strong-Attack Soul Exalted." The first to step forward from the Inner Academy was Ma Xiaotao, who always tried to act ladylike in front of neers. The number one live volcano was much calmerpared to her usual fiery self. "Ma Xiaotao, soul beast Fiery Evil Phoenix, Level 68 Strong-Attack Spirit Emperor." When she said Level 68, the reserve team members who didn''t know Ma Xiaotao sucked in a breath. Level 68 at age twenty was an impressive talent. "Dai Yueheng, soul beast White Tiger, Level 64 Strong-Attack Spirit Emperor." "Huh?" Ning Tian felt a chill beside her. Huo Yuhao looked a bit strange, but he was trying hard to suppress his hatred. Compared to the deep-seated blood feud with the White Tiger Duke''s family, the conflicts with Ning Tian and Wu Feng were minor. After Dai Yueheng, Ling Bai stepped forward, his handsome face with a gentle smile, "Ling Bai, soul beast Six-Winged Angel, Level 55 Strong-Attack Soul King." The reserve team members had all met him at least once, especially He Caitou, whom Ling Bai had encountered when visiting Ning Tian in the Soul Conductor Department. "Xi Xi, soul beast Lightning Leopard, Level 56 Agility-Attack Soul King." "Ling Luochen, soul beast Ice Element, Level 56 Control Soul King." "Yao Haoxuan, soul beast Heaven-Shaking Ape, Level 55, dual-specialized Control and Support Soul King." "Gongyang Mo, Level 59 Support Soul King." The reserve team members memorized the main Seven Oddities'' soul beasts and soul power levels. Even though they were only auxiliary participants, remembering these details would definitely be beneficial. All under twenty and above Level 55, with two over Level 60 Spirit Emperors-this was the pinnacle of the Inner Academy''s same-age cohort. The extremely high configuration of all Soul Kings and Spirit Emperors both intimidated and inspired the reserve team. Being the next Shrek Academy Seven Oddities, seeing the main team was like seeing their own future. Breaking through to Soul King in five years, what would that be like? Elder Xuan continued, "Only through battle can you better understand each other''s abilities. Today''s training task is a friendly match, the Seven Oddities Mixed Match. Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, you two lead one team. Ling Bai, you lead the other team, with priority to choose one main and one reserve team member each time." "Why?" The reserve team was instantly confused. Shouldn''t the two Spirit Emperors each lead a team? Why are the two Spirit Emperors teaming up to PK a Level 55 Soul King like Ling Bai! "You don''t understand. Don''t look at Xiao Tao and Yueheng being Level 6 Spirit Emperors; the strongest in the Shrek Academy Seven Oddities is actually Ling Bai." Yao Haoxuan chuckled. "Level 55 Six-Winged Angel, tsk tsk tsk, if he goes all out, you few Soul Kings below him won''tst ten seconds. To be precise, the Mystic Turtle Shield with ck Tortoise lineage mightst ten seconds at most." "Wait, Brother Yao, how do you know I have ck Tortoise lineage?" Xu San Shi noticed the detail. "Uh..." Yao Haoxuan realized he had slipped up and immediately covered his mouth, ncing furtively at Elder Xuan. He had watched the battle without Elder Xuan''s knowledge! Elder Xuan didn''t notice, instead looking at Ling Bai with a mischievous smile, "By the way, you have restrictions. No Angel Realm, no Six-Winged Angel''s suppression of sky soul beasts, and no Soul Bone Skills." Ling Bai: ??? Not allowed to use this, not allowed to use that! Why don''t you just ban mepletely!
