N-A-A Chapter 128 Spirit Academy
Chapter 128 Spirit Academy
The cigar with soul power amplification specially made by He Caitou flickered in Ling Luochen's mouth.
She clenched her fist in the air towards the surging ice tornado, and a burst of icy energy erupted from her body, carrying an even purer will of ice.
"Take it!"
With a shout, the ice tornado that was originally heading towards Shrek's camp suddenly stopped, then abruptly changed direction in mid-air, crashing headlong into the fire tornado unleashed by its companion with an even more ferocious momentum!
"boom--!!!"
Ice and fire, extreme cold and intense heat, clashed and annihilated violently. Amidst a deafening roar, white steam burst open, instantly engulfing the entire arena.
The terrifying shockwave blew the Ice and Fire Dual-Control Soul Master, who was at the center of the tornado, away, flying in two arcs before crashing off the stage.
One strike, and both players are eliminated!
"Oh no!" Captain Shen Ce of Qianling felt a chill run down his spine. The thick steam obscured all vision, but his team members were groaning and exclaiming in surprise one after another.
The Shrek members seemed completely unaffected, moving freely through the mist and launching precise attacks.
It was Huo Yutong's mental probing and sharing that opened up a panoramic map for the entire team.
Beneath Shen Ce's feet, the resilient Blue Silver Grass silently wrapped around him.
Immediately afterwards, lightning crackled, and BeiBei transformed into a streak of blue-purple lightning, hurtling towards them.
Shen Ce hurriedly raised his Thousand Strike Spear to block, but Bei Bei had already slipped away using Ghost Shadow Tracking, moving around unpredictably, waiting for another opportunity to attack.
Shen Ce's third soul skill requires visual locking, and his fifth soul skill requires time to charge up. In this dense fog where he cannot see, he has the cultivation of a Soul King, but he is like a blind man dancing with a sword, all in vain.
Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass would occasionally emerge from strange angles, harassing and slowing him down, which annoyed him greatly.
On the other side, the remaining four defensive and support-type Soul Masters of Qianling formed a tight formation back to back, struggling to hold on.
However, Ling Luochen, controlling the enormous ice tornado, repeatedly rammed into their combined shield with the continuous amplification from Gongyang Mo and Ning Tian.
boom! boom! boom!
Each impact caused the four to turn paler and their soul power to be severely depleted.
Finally, after several powerful attacks, the shield shattered, and the four were thrown off the ground by the immense force, falling to the ground.
At this moment, the water vapor finally dissipated slowly.
On the stage, only Shen Ce remained, leaning on the Thousand Strike Spear, standing somewhat disheveled in the center, while the seven Shrek Seven Devils had quietly surrounded him.
Shen Ce glanced at his calm opponent, then looked at the empty space behind him, gave a wry smile, and decisively put away his martial spirit.
"We concede defeat."
"Match over! Shrek Academy wins!"
After a brief silence, the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers and discussions.
Although the entire match was shrouded in fog for most of the time, with only the roar of engines audible, the result speaks for itself.
"We won! Shrek Academy won again!"
"That ice tornado was so beautiful! How did you do that?"
"What exactly happened in the fog? The people of Qianling seem completely powerless to fight back!"
The VIP boxes and the observation areas of various colleges present a completely different scene.
Surprised gazes were all directed at the short-haired girl in the Shrek team who held the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
Rest area of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
"Ma Rulong, did you see it clearly?" A team member's voice was a little hoarse. "That Ning Tian... her martial soul, could it be...?"
Ma Rulong stared intently at the arena and slowly uttered the name: "Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda".
"That's right, it's the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda." The teacher in charge of intelligence analysis pushed up his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses extremely solemn. "The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has become a legend, but even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is already one of the top auxiliary weapon spirits on the continent."
Ning Tian possesses the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, meaning she has the potential to reach at least the Soul Douluo level… This support ability is terrifying in the Soul Master Competition.
He paused, lowering his voice, but with a deeper sigh: "According to ancient records, the Nine-Colored Goddess who possessed unparalleled beauty ten thousand years ago had a martial soul in its ultimate form... the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Upon hearing this, another person nearby couldn't help but look at the dazzling red-haired girl in the Shrek Academy's waiting area and murmured, "Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix... it's rumored that it inherited part of the bloodline of the Phoenix God from ten thousand years ago, right? Just how many more secrets is Shrek Academy hiding...?"
Ma Rulong didn't reply, but his hands, resting on his knees, unconsciously clenched.
Shrek Academy is indeed a bottomless abyss.
The pinnacle of weapon spirits, the inheritance of top-tier beast spirits... the opponents in this competition are more formidable than imagined.
The Shrek team had stepped off the stage, where they were greeted by Wang Yan's gratified gaze and the smiles of their companions.
……
Xuanzi has been having a very pleasant time these past few days.
As a senior team leader, he only needed to sit in the audience and watch the game. The rest of the time he would leisurely wander around the bustling Xingluo City, strolling through the streets and alleys, looking for all kinds of delicious food.
Whenever he tastes something delicious, he always remembers to pack some to take back to the students at the academy.
Shrek Academy has no matches today, so Xuanzi waved his hand and said in a booming voice, "Kids, I've found a wonderful restaurant. Come on, it's on me!"
Everyone exchanged smiles and readily agreed, secretly relieved—thankfully it was just a restaurant meal, not a "delicacy" prepared by Xuanzi himself.
Inside the private room of the restaurant, cups and plates were laid out, and the air was filled with delicious aromas.
Everyone once again gained a direct understanding of Xuanzi's "strength," as his whirlwind-like eating speed was astonishing.
What surprised them even more was that Zi Ji's appetite was astonishingly large; roughly calculated, it was equivalent to the combined appetite of the other sixteen people, excluding Xuan Zi and herself.
Facing the astonished gazes of the crowd, Zi Ji merely wiped the corner of her mouth, thinking to herself, "I've already toned it down considerably. After all, I am a ferocious beast."
After the meal, Dai Yueheng stood up and suggested, "I imagine many of our classmates are visiting Xingluo City for the first time."
Now that I have some free time today, if you all don't mind, please allow me to temporarily act as your guide and show you around the city, as a nice break from the competition. How about it?
He used to spend his holidays in Singapore and was quite familiar with the city.
The suggestion was immediately met with a positive response. After days of continuous fighting, a break was indeed necessary.
Xingluo City truly lives up to its reputation as a magnificent city that has stood for thousands of years.
The city wall is tall and steep, built of giant granite. Having weathered the elements, it has accumulated a thick, ancient gray-black color, and the mottled marks on it are like chapters in a history book.
Inside the city, however, a different, vibrant scene unfolds: the wide main road is paved with smooth, clean bluestone slabs, wide enough for ten carriages to travel side by side; tall silver maples and phoenix trees are planted along the roadside, and at this time of year, the phoenix trees are in full bloom, clusters of fiery red dotting the lush greenery, creating a charming contrast with the ancient buildings.
Dai Yueheng led the group, walking unhurriedly through the rich historical atmosphere.
His voice was clear and calm as he recounted the history of this capital city.
"Xingluo City was founded 20,000 years ago at the beginning of the Xingluo Empire. It was located in an excellent location, backed by the majestic Xingdou Mountain range and facing the fertile Xingluo Plain. The Xingluo River flows through the city, making water transportation convenient. It has been a central location since ancient times."
Please look at the stone path beneath your feet. Many sections still retain the 'Imperial Road Stones' laid a thousand years ago, which are exceptionally hard...
He led everyone through the ancient city. First, they arrived at the central square, where they saw the huge emblem of the Star Luo Empire pieced together from black and white jade stones, shimmering with a warm luster in the sunlight.
On the north side of the square stands a white jade statue of the first Star Luo Emperor, imposing and gazing into the distance, as if still guarding his kingdom.
Everyone had a great time throughout the day.
