N-A-A Chapter 39 of the First Person
Chapter 39 of the First Person
Shen Yi nodded, and Ning Linglong immediately dialed her father's number.
From a young age, she noticed that her father often frowned and pondered deeply late at night. She had asked her father about it out of curiosity, but he would always just smile and remain silent.
When she got a little older, she understood that they had no choice; going down the dark path was their only option.
The call was answered, and a puzzled male voice came from the other end: "Linglong, what's wrong? Aren't you participating in a competition right now?"
“Father, this time…” She told her father the whole story. Ning Lingyun, the current sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, sighed, “Linglong, let’s fight. We have no other choice.”
After hanging up her father's phone call, Ning Linglong returned home with a heavy heart.
On the other side, Na'er brandished her Silver Dragon Spear, saying, "Boss, when we go up there, we'll go on a rampage and slaughter everyone!"
"Yes, yes, I'll be in charge of the rampage, and you'll be in charge of the 'hahaha'!" Qian Gu Chen Ran looked at Na'er, who had been excited since the beginning, with amusement.
Upon hearing that Qian Gu Chenran was going to take away her hard work, Na'er immediately objected. Just as she was about to retort, she heard the reminder to let them go on stage.
"Next, let's welcome Shrek Academy and Tianhai Academy to the stage."
As the host finished speaking, the crowd erupted in cheers. Shrek Academy was a household name in the mythical continent.
They defeated the evil Spirit Hall organization from 20,000 years ago, saved the continent, thwarted the conspiracy of the Sun Moon Empire, and saved the people of that time.
"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!" The unified shouts of tens of thousands of people shook the heavens and the earth. Mu Ye looked at the Tianhai executives behind him with amusement: "You're fighting on your home turf, and not many people are cheering you on!"
The faces of the Tianhai executives were grim, but they had nothing to say.
Yu Longqing led the other six people step by step onto the competition stage. Looking at Na'er and Qian Gu Chenran chatting and laughing on the other side, Yu Longqing's expression changed. Even if you are from the Spirit Pagoda, this is too disrespectful.
Sensing the tense atmosphere between the two sides, the referee looked towards the podium and saw Zhenhua nod above him. He immediately announced, "Both players, take your positions. The match begins."
With a bang, the seven members of Shrek Academy simultaneously released their martial souls. The yellow, purple, and black spirit rings shone brightly in the sunlight.
Ye Xinglan stared intently at Qian Gu Chenran, the Star God Sword in her hand trembling uncontrollably. What was going on with this feeling?
Qian Gu Chenran stepped forward, and with each step, a spirit ring appeared behind him. Black! Black! Black! Black! The four spirit rings had just appeared.
The crowd, who had been cheering for Yu Longqing's black spirit ring, gaped in disbelief, speechless.
Still on the competition stage, Yu Longqing stared at Qian Gu Chenran in disbelief. What a joke! He had spent countless resources, with the help of his family, to barely absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
How large is that ancient dust on the other side? It can contain a soul that's been around for ten thousand years. Did he start cultivating his spiritual power from the womb?!
Shen Yi and Wu Changkong, the senior and junior siblings, watched this scene in shock. Wu Changkong said in a heavy tone, "The academy may be in danger this time. A ten-year-old Soul Master has absorbed a ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit."
That child's talent is beyond their reach!
Shen Yi nodded. Even though she was used to seeing geniuses at Shrek Academy, she had to admit that Qian Gu Chenran's talent was unparalleled. No one in the inner academy of Shrek Academy could compare to him.
On the podium
A group of officials surrounded Zhenhua and Muye, praising their excellent teaching. Zhenhua and Muye lost themselves in the praise.
Given their current status, they don't really care about compliments from others, but if Qian Gu Chen Ran is praised, it's more enjoyable for them than air conditioning on a hot day.
Yu Longqing snapped out of his daze immediately and turned to Xu Lizhi and Ning Linglong, shouting, "You two, assist me!"
"Light and delicate xiaolongbao!"
"The Seven Treasures manifest with three qualities: power, soul, and speed!"
Having witnessed the terrifying combination of soul rings of Qian Gu Chen Ran, the entire Shrek Academy team dared not be careless and immediately used their full strength.
Thunderous power, thunderous force, thunderous dragon claws. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's traditional three-pronged attack swept towards Qian Gu Chen Ran.
Behind Qian Gu Chen Ran appeared the figure of Tai Xu Qie Wai Xiang, who reached out his hand to Ye Xing Lan. Ye Xing Lan's Star God Sword uncontrollably transformed into a golden light and floated beside Qian Gu Chen Ran.
Qian Gu Chen Ran smiled slightly. Any Star-type Martial Soul would be affected by their Ziwei Star identity. Then, by stealing the Outer Appearance, he could directly steal Ye Xinglan's Martial Soul and force a Martial Soul fusion!
A purplish-gold dragon soul flew out from Qian Gu Chen Ran's body, roaring arrogantly at the ball of light formed by the Star God Sword. Purple Ziwei Heavenly Fire surged into the ball of light.
A colossal, ten-meter-tall, purplish-gold sword stood atop the ancient dust. Its blade shimmered with dazzling purplish-gold starlight!
Qian Gu Chen Ran snapped his fingers forward and calmly watched the show from where he was. The Star God Sword transformed into streaks of sword shadows and rushed towards the seven people below.
Yu Longqing roared as he watched this scene, "Impossible! What kind of evil magic is this!" But even with their combined efforts to resist, they still couldn't stop the dense array of sword shadows.
Boom! As the dust settled, the other six, except for Ye Xinglan, lay on the ground, all severely injured. The arena fell silent until the referee announced the end of the match, at which point a cheer far exceeding the previous one erupted.
Shen Yi's face turned pale. This was too exaggerated, too fast. Shouldn't martial soul fusion skills require a certain level of tacit understanding between the two parties? But what was the situation with Ye Xinglan's martial soul?
She had been teaching Ye Xinglan for so long, she knew Ye Xinglan's strength and the quality of her martial soul! There was only one possibility for the martial soul fusion technique to be so powerful just now.
That ancient dust forcefully amplified the power of that Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
Wu Changkong's expression was grave. He woke Shen Yi, who was still in shock: "Junior sister, report the information to the Sea God Pavilion now. This has blown up."
Shen Yi nodded, his face pale. Shrek Academy's invincible aura had been shattered, and other forces that were at odds with them would definitely take advantage of their misfortune.
Click! Click! Click! Click! One after another, the soul-guided cameras captured the scene of Shrek Academy's defeat. There was no more shocking news than the breaking of Shrek Academy's invincible myth.
Moreover, as Sun and Moon Media, established by the Sun and Moon Federation, this information must be released to the entire continent as soon as possible.
The Sun and Moon Federation had suffered under Shrek's shadow for a long time, and they certainly weren't about to let this opportunity slip by. As soon as the photos reached Sun and Moon Media headquarters, the top management immediately mobilized all staff to begin writing the copy!
Meanwhile, Chuanling Media, which had been contacted by Qian Gu Qingfeng in advance, focused on filming Qian Gu Chenran's heroic performance in instantly defeating Shrek Academy.
Box No. 1
Qian Gu Qing Feng and Qian Gu Die Ting took out their fine wine and opened the bottle to celebrate.
"Well done, Chen Ran! You truly deserve to be a member of our Qian Gu family." Qian Gu Die Ting looked down at the arena with a flushed face.
Seeing Shrek get their comeuppance, Kong Mingyu, equally excited, burst into laughter: "Shrek's in for a rough time this time!"
Harosa swirled the wine in his glass, looking down at Qian Gu Chenran with satisfaction. He was indeed his younger brother.
An hour later, news of Shrek's defeat spread throughout the continent.
Chapter 75 Shrek Caught in the Trouble
Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion
Bang! Cai Yue'er looked at the scarlet words in the report and kept slamming her fist on the table in anger.
"Useless, a bunch of useless people. Seven people, two of whom are support Soul Masters, one of whom even has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. And what did they do? They couldn't beat one person, just one person. And it was someone from the Spirit Pagoda."
The other elders were also frowning; this incident had escalated far too quickly. It hadn't been long since Shen Yi reported it to the Sea God Pavilion before the news spread throughout the entire continent.
The Federation, Mingdu Royal Soul Guidance Academy, the Spirit Pagoda, and the Xuanming Sect—these major powers are all fueling the flames, and these are only the visible forces. Even Shrek Academy doesn't know how many forces are secretly providing assistance.
He Yushu, Zhuoshi, and Feng Wuyu sat opposite Cai Yue'er, watching her performance. Feng Wuyu even took out some melon seeds and started cracking them while watching the live stream on his communicator.
Cai Yue'er's veins bulged as she glared at the three traitors opposite her. She couldn't understand why they were always opposing her.
She turned her anger towards Zhuoshi: "Zhuoshi, what are you laughing at? Your apprentice Shen Yi also made mistakes in this failure..."
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Shi surprisingly did not become angry. Instead, he glanced at Cai Yue'er and closed his eyes to rest. Sensing Zhuo Shi's disdain, Cai Yue'er became even angrier.
Seeing this, Yun Ming's headache worsened. He slapped the table to stop Cai Yue'er's outburst: "Yue'er, calm down. And Wu Yu, put away your soul-guided communicator."
But Feng Wuyu patted He Yushu's shoulder and said, "Yushu, look at this child, he looks a lot like Xuan Dou's older sister."
He Yushu looked at Qian Gu Chenran in the live stream and smiled: "This child is Xuan Dou's nephew, Qian Gu Chenran."
"I knew it! This kid looks so much like Xia Zheng Leng! Wow..." Feng Wuyu stared in shock at Qian Gu Chen Ran's forging in the live stream.
Zhuoshi, listening to their conversation, curiously moved closer to Feng Wuyu. Not only him, but the other elders also curiously looked towards Feng Wuyu's position!
"You're finished, Cai Yue'er!" Feng Wuyu grinned as he watched Qian Gu Chenran complete the spirit forging in the live stream.
Monster! A level 5 blacksmith at the age of ten! Even if you search the entire history of blacksmithing, there is no one more talented than this child. This child is the pinnacle of blacksmiths of the same age.
As soon as Feng Wuyu said this, everyone else curiously gathered around him. Yun Ming, seeing this scene, also joined in out of curiosity.
But by then, the live stream had ended. Everyone could only turn their curious gazes to Feng Wuyu. But Feng Wuyu looked at Cai Yue'er and said, "Sigh! Listen to me, you should quickly prepare some gifts and go apologize to Xuan Dou right now."
"Don't let others end up not being able to wear the four-word battle armor." Upon hearing this, all the elders were startled. How did this involve the Divine Craftsman?
Yun Ming frowned as well, and Ya Li, seeing this, asked Feng Wuyu, "Wuyu, what do you mean by this! Our Shrek Academy has always had an excellent relationship with the Divine Craftsman Zhenhua! How did this get dragged into Xuan Dou?"
Feng Wuyu did not answer; he looked at He Yushu, who nodded.
"A level five blacksmith, ten years old. Do you know what that means? Many blacksmiths start learning from the womb and still can't reach this level. That child's talent is already at the pinnacle that we can only dream of."
As Feng Wuyu spoke, a wave of bitterness washed over him. Although he often joked with Zhuoshi that when he became a master craftsman, he would leave the buttocks area of the four-character battle armor he forged for Zhuoshi unnecessary.
But he knew he could never become a four-word battle armor master in his lifetime; he was able to become an eighth-level holy craftsman only because of his own cultivation.
"Wow! Xuan Dou's nephew is so successful. Cai Yue'er, you're really doomed!" Zhuo Shi said, gloating.
Anyway, he has a good relationship with Xuan Dou. At worst, he can just cling to Xuan Dou's leg and cry his eyes out. His nephew will have to give him face and forge one or two items for him. Most people can't even get a chance to cling to Xuan Dou.
Upon hearing that their interests were involved, the other elders also looked at Cai Yue'er with displeasure. Cai Yue'er looked at this scene in horror. Why?! She was doing all this for Shrek Academy! How could they see her like this?!
Yun Ming rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. The academy's reputation, the future master craftsman's hostility, the deteriorating relationship with the Spirit Pagoda... how did everything all come together at once?!
Donghai City
Tianhai Alliance Blacksmith Competition
The suggestion to broadcast live was put forward by Zhenhua. By broadcasting live, the message could be spread throughout the entire continent, and other forces could also be informed that they had someone in charge.
Qian Gu Chen Ran didn't need to participate in the competition; instead, he appeared as a guest in an exhibition match. The effect was so good that many of the participating blacksmiths began to question their own abilities.
"really!"
"I must not be fully awake!"
"It's open! This is even more outrageous than just being open!"
.........
Na'er listened to the various sounds coming from below, and proudly put her hands on her hips: "Hmph! Hmph! Hmph! Foolish humans, now you know the difference!"
Zhenhua watched this scene with satisfaction, as the other blacksmiths gathered around him to congratulate him. The fact that the guild leader had a successor was something they all had been hoping for. Only the emergence of a master craftsman could guarantee that their status as blacksmiths wouldn't decline.
The live stream's impact far exceeded Zhenhua's expectations. After learning of Qian Gu Chenran's identity, various factions chose to strengthen their cooperation with the Spirit Transmission Tower, the Body Sect, the Xuanming Sect, and the Forging Master Association.
Qian Gu Dongfeng, far away at the Spirit Pagoda, was practically grinning from ear to ear. This was fate! How could his life be so good!
Looking at the news, Qian Gu Zhangting felt a sense of hope. He also wanted to wear battle armor.
Meanwhile, Wu Hongchen, Le Zhengen, and others who were on good terms with Xu Xuanming kept calling Xu Xuanming's soul communication device.
Xu Xuanming looked at the names of his old friends on his soul communicator, a smile playing on his lips. They usually don't think of me, but now they do? Too late!
