Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Chapter 48 The Science of Killing

The next day, everyone arrived at the next big city, Silvester City, before dark, which also ensured that they would not camp in the wild.

When entering the city, Flanders took Shrek and his group out for a walk for the first time. Not only did he take them for a good meal, he also took them to stay in a very expensive hotel.

Just like in the original book, the baptism of blood began.

After the Shrek people used the Zhuge Divine Crossbow distributed by Tang San to instantly kill the Evil God Team just like in the original novel, the Shrek teachers brought the Shrek people to the stands, and Shi Yi was already ready to enter the game.

Yu Xiaogang specially signed up for a life-and-death fight for Shi Yi.

The Shrek teachers who heard the news looked at Yu Xiaogang in great surprise. Even Flanders couldn't help but say, "Xiaogang, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Both are about killing the opponent, so what's the difference between a life-and-death fight and a team game?" Yu Xiaogang asked back.

"But..." Flanders hesitated to speak.

Yu Xiaogang sighed slightly and said, "Flanders, you still don't know Xiaoyi well enough. I am doing this for Xiaoyi's own good."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Yu Xiaogang. Even the tragic scene in the minds of the Shrek people who had just killed the Evil God Team was dispelled by curiosity.

"Xiao Yi became my disciple two years earlier than Xiao San. Maybe in your eyes, Xiao Yi is not a good person. He is deep-minded, calculating, aloof, and arrogant, but from my observation, he is a kind child. He has such strength, but he has fought very few times in nine years. The last time he injured someone was when he injured Dai Mubai. The purpose of his practice is to do what he wants to do, but one day, someone will block his way with his life to do what he wants. What should he do? This is also a lesson he must go through." Yu Xiaogang said slowly.

At this time, everyone looked at the figure who was slowly entering the venue with complicated expressions.

Under the guidance of the staff, Shi Yi slowly walked towards the fighting arena, feeling a little nervous. He saw the Evil God Team being shot into pieces, and the tragic scenes of death were still vivid in his mind.

Shi Yi also has a good understanding of Yu Xiaogang. This is a test that Yu Xiaogang set for himself as a teacher.

Stepping onto the fighting stage, Shi Yi couldn't help but let out a long breath and adjusted his state. Although the battle had not yet begun, the fierce aura of his opponent had already rushed towards him.

"As for exams, I have done more exams than you have read. This answer sheet may not satisfy you, but I wrote it myself. Even if I want to kill someone, I will not become a murderous maniac." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

The other party looked to be a man in his thirties, tall and strong, with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes. He walked towards the center of the fighting arena, clenching his fists, and his bones made a crackling sound that made people's teeth ache.

"He is tall and strong, most likely a beast soul master. His upper limbs are more developed than his lower limbs, so he is definitely a strong attack soul master. His eyes are fierce and fierce, and he seems to be a veteran."

Shi Yi looked at the other person with determination in his eyes. He knew that no matter what kind of person the other person was, if they participated in a life-and-death battle, it would be either him or me.

The other person looked at Shi Yi and smiled, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips: "So you're still a novice."

As they spoke, their opponents' bodies almost swelled up as their martial spirits were released. For a moment, it seemed as if a huge bloody mouth that could swallow everything had risen up from their bodies.

"A crocodile." Shi Yi murmured as he looked at the other party's martial spirit.

Shi Yi simply summoned his own soul ring, which instantly made the other party alert because he didn't know what Shi Yi's martial soul was.

At this moment, the host who had already flown into the air shouted, "A fight of life and death, two Yis versus the crazy crocodile, the fighting spirit begins."

"Boy, I'll tear you to pieces!" The bloodthirsty look in the eyes of the crazy crocodile became even more intense, and he shouted while charging towards Shi Yi.

Although he didn't know what Shi Yi's martial soul was, Crazy Crocodile understood that as a strong attack-type combat soul master, close combat has always been what he is best at.

Seeing this, the hair crystal in Shi Yi's hand instantly became as light as cow hair. He then twisted his body and suddenly threw the hair crystal out.

When the Mad Crocodile heard the sound of breaking air and immediately used his soul skill to raise his hand to block it, the hair crystal was like a golden stream of light, instantly passing through the Mad Crocodile's arms and brain.

Why can't I move suddenly? The mad crocodile felt a little strange, as if his body was not under his control. This was the last stop of his consciousness in this world.

Then the eyes of the Mad Crocodile gradually lost their luster, and he fell heavily on the fighting arena. The wound on his head pierced by the dragon whisker needle was extremely small, and even though his vitality was gone, he did not appear to be in serious condition, and not even any blood flowed out.

Tang San's eyes turned purple as he saw this scene, and a storm surged in his heart: "This is... Dragon Beard Needle! How is it possible?"

Shi Yi's technique seemed very crude to Tang San, but the method of using the chaotic cloak to generate force starting from the calf, combined with Shi Yi's own strength, was enough to rival a strong bow and crossbow. However, Tang San could not figure out how Shi Yi shaped the dragon beard needle. Even he needed to use the special technique of the Tang Sect to shoot a dragon beard needle as thin as an ox hair.

It turned out to be very simple for Shi Yi. It was to engrave a core magic array on the hair crystal. With the core magic array, the soul power could easily penetrate into the metal itself and bring out the properties of the metal perfectly.

Seeing this scene, Yu Xiaogang sighed slightly and said, "Even if it's a life-and-death fight, Xiao Yi would choose this clean method to deal with his opponent. I'm afraid this weapon was prepared long ago to deal with me."

At this moment, everyone in Shrek had a deeper understanding of Shi Yi.

Shi Yi looked at the host in mid-air and said calmly, "Can we announce the results of the competition now?"

The host woke up from his dream and said, "A life-and-death battle, Double B vs. Crazy Crocodile, Double B wins!"

After getting a satisfactory answer, Shi Yi nodded with a smile, walked to the back of the mad crocodile's body, picked up the hair crystal that had turned into a sphere, and then walked towards the entrance of the fighting arena.

Soon Shi Yi saw the Shrek people.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi and sighed slightly, "As a soul master, killing is a problem you will have to face sooner or later. Xiaoyi, do you understand?"

Shi Yi nodded and chuckled, "Of course, teacher, but killing is sometimes a science. There is no lack of pain, blood, and madness in this world. Pain and blood can make opponents feel fear, and madness can make people throw away their lives and fight without reservation. But in my opinion, strong strength can also make opponents fear, and the focus on achieving goals and the belief in protecting important things can also make people throw away their lives and fight without reservation. Let the opponent make a perfect curtain call, which is also a good performance."

Flanders nodded after hearing this and said, "Well said."

Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Shi Yi deeply. She suddenly felt that the bloody scenes just now were nothing to her. She must win, just like what Shi Yi said, focus on achieving the goal.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Flender helplessly and said, "Okay, as long as you understand." At this time, Tang San suddenly said, "Brother, can you let me see the weapon you used just now?"

Shi Yi smiled and casually took out the hair crystal. Looking at the patterns on it, Tang San understood how Shi Yi was able to control the Dragon Beard Needle.

"This is called hair crystal, a metal with peculiar properties. Under my design, it can become as thin as an ox hair and extremely strong. It is specially used to break defenses. It can be considered a casual work." Shi Yi chuckled.

Tang San nodded slightly when he heard that. He certainly knew the strength of the Dragon Beard Needle. Looking at the hair crystal in Shi Yi's hand, he reluctantly moved his gaze away. Of course he wanted it, but Tang San also knew that it was not easy to take advantage of his senior brother.

The dragon beard needle is of great value. If Shi Yi made any request, it would be difficult for him as his junior brother to refuse in front of everyone.

"Okay, you must all be tired today. Go back and rest early, and continue your journey tomorrow." Flanders said to everyone.

Nothing happened that night. For the Shrek people, it was a sleepless night. Even when they closed their eyes, the bloody tragedy would emerge in their minds.

Early the next morning, before dawn, the group of people had quietly left Silvis City and continued towards their destination, the capital of the Tiandou Empire.

Everyone in Shrek still looked pale, especially Ning Rongrong who vomited the most. During the night, only Zhu Zhuqing and Shi Yi looked normal, which surprised Flanders. He looked at Shi Yi and then at Zhu Zhuqing, and felt that this was normal. Shi Yi and Zhu Zhuqing's willpower was definitely one of the best in Shrek.

In the next few days, everyone gradually got rid of their inner fears while traveling. Flanders made a lot of money in the Great Fighting Spirit Arena, which made the Shrek people's journey more comfortable in the past few days.

Time passed quickly, and three days later, when night fell, under the leadership of Ning Rongrong, they finally arrived at their destination: Tiandou Royal Academy.

"Rongrong, are you sure this is where you are?" Flanders asked in a strange voice.

Ning Rongrong nodded and said: "Yes, that's right. Tiandou Royal Academy will never change places. I must be here."

"But this is a mountain!"

"This mountain belongs to the Tiandou Royal Academy. Oh, and the forest at the back and the lake at the foot of the mountain on the left are all under the management of the academy. We are about to enter the academy." Ning Rongrong chuckled.

Glancing at the stunned Flanders, Yu Xiaogang smiled leisurely and said, "It's really a good place, surrounded by mountains and water."

Several other teachers also nodded in admiration.

The scenery here is indeed beautiful, especially when the sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with sunset. Against the backdrop of the red clouds in the west, whether it is the lake at the foot of the mountain or the thousand-meter-high mountain covered with various plants, They all give people a feeling of paradise.

"It's all money." Shi Yi sighed and looked at Flanders.

Flanders' face darkened and he said to Shi Yi, "You two are not done yet, are you?"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but smile when they heard this.

Shi Yi chuckled and stopped provoking Flanders, admiring the surrounding scenery. Everyone slowly walked up the white marble steps of Tiandou Royal Academy. The surrounding plants were neatly arranged and very beautiful, obviously made by powerful plant soul masters.

Flanders said unconvincedly: "What's so great about a good environment and a large place? Have they trained any strong people? They are far inferior to our Shrek Academy. Although our place is small, we have many monsters."

Shi Yi smiled and said, "Dean, the reason why a genius is called a genius is because it is a talent given by God. He is at the innate level of eighty or ninety. How much worse can he be?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded in agreement and agreed, "Flender, to be honest, I still don't quite understand why so many children with outstanding potential would be deceived into entering your Shrek Academy. How did you trick them in?"

Zhao Wuji grinned upon hearing this and said, "Then there are many ways."

Upon hearing this, Flanders quickly covered Zhao Wuji's mouth and glared at Shi Yi.

"I just don't believe that the teachers at Tiandou Royal Academy can be better than those at Shrek." Flanders said to Shi Yi Yu and Xiao Gang.

Shi Yi nodded and said with a smile: "There is indeed no doubt about this. The three Soul Saints teach several children. Looking at the mainland, perhaps only the Wuhun Hall Academy is stronger than us."

"That's right." Flanders felt comfortable after being coaxed by Shi Yi.

The next second, Shi Yi turned to Yu Xiaogang and joked, "Teacher, you didn't make use of your remaining energy to let me go to the Spirit Hall Academy. Xiao San can't go, so why can't I go too? How can you put all your eggs in one basket?"

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened upon hearing this, but he was a little curious and asked Shi Yi: "How do you know that I can let you go to the Spirit Hall?"

"Can you hide your background from others but not from me? Which book in your room haven't I read? Isn't the fusion flow you first proposed the theory of the Spirit Hall? I learned about it when I was receiving subsidies from the Spirit Hall in Notting City. You are the honorary elder of the Spirit Hall." Shi Yi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Yu Xiaogang in surprise.

Yu Xiaogang glared at Shi Yi with a dark face and asked, "Do you really want to go to the Spirit Hall?"

Shi Yi smiled and said, "If you had given me a choice, I might have chosen Spirit Hall. I feel it's okay now. Although I don't have a big boss to rely on, it's good to have more freedom. The dean and teachers are living a good life."

Upon hearing this, Shrek's teachers also laughed.

"You kid really understand that freedom is the most important thing if you want to do what you want." Zhao Wuji said to Shi Yi.

"However, we are old now, and it's time to find a place to retire." Shao Xin sighed softly.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, but after a few steps, trouble arose.

"Stop, who are you?" Several spirit masters, about 18 or 19 years old, blocked the way of the group. Although they did not summon their own spirits, it could be seen from their light yellow school uniforms that these students belonged to the Tiandou Royal Academy.
