Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 254: Skipping Grades, Inner Court Assessment, War Horse Xiaotao

After another day of rest, Shi Yu went back to class. He was already a member of the second grade.
After a few days of school, Shi Yu decided to apply for a grade skip. His abilities were improving rapidly, and some of the second-year theory classes might be useful to him.
But the actual combat teaching courses were meaningless to him.
Not to mention that sometimes he had to spar with his classmates, but for him, it was like beating a kid, which was really boring.
The academy also understood his strength. He was stronger than many inner court students. It was indeed inappropriate for him to continue attending the second year of the outer court. It would be a waste of time.
After consulting with Moon, the academy agreed to let Shi Yu skip a grade. He could start the inner courtyard examination in advance, and as long as he passed, he could directly enter the inner courtyard to study.
Shi Yu has three days to prepare. After three days, he will take his inner courtyard examination. The examination content is simple and consists of a battle.
The opponent is also an old acquaintance, Ma Xiaotao.
That's right, his inner court examination was to face Ma Xiaotao, who had already reached the Soul Saint realm.
You don't need to defeat her, you just need to hold out for half an hour under Ma Xiaotao's attack to pass.
The combat area will have certain restrictions, allowing Shi Yu to fully utilize his abilities, but not allowing him to overdo it.
If there were no regional restrictions, Shi Yu might be able to move hundreds of miles. Then what would be the point of this assessment?
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who had gone out to obtain spirit rings, returned to school. Shi Yu even deliberately inquired about their situation, mainly out of curiosity as to whether they had encountered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion later.
The result was no, which surprised Shi Yu a little. Doesn't this mean that Tang San's plan for the auspicious beast has failed?
After the auspicious beast died, Tang Wutong gained some of its power, allowing her martial spirit to evolve into the Bright Dragon God Butterfly. It is obviously impossible to say that this has nothing to do with Tang San.
It should be that Tang San consciously transferred part of the auspicious beast's power or bloodline into Tang Wutong's body.
This idea of ​​transfer may not have occurred when the auspicious beast died, but may have occurred even earlier.
He suspected it was when Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong first encountered the auspicious beast.
Since they didn't encounter the auspicious beast this time, doesn't that mean Tang Wutong will have difficulty gaining the auspicious beast's power in the future?
"Have I accidentally changed the fate of the auspicious beast?" Shi Yu whispered.
If the auspicious beast had not encountered Huo Yuhao and his companions, it would not have transformed into a human form in the future, and would not have died to save Huo Yuhao.
If the auspicious beast hadn't died, would the Star Dou Great Forest have declined as quickly as in the original storyline?
The auspicious beast is a soul beast of fortune, and it is related to the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest. The fact that the Star Dou Great Forest fell into such a state ten thousand years later is largely related to the death of the auspicious beast.
Now that the auspicious beast is alive, will the Star Dou Great Forest face a different fate?
He was still quite curious, and wished he could go to the world ten thousand years from now and take a look.
Early that morning, many inner courtyard disciples gathered around the inner courtyard's battle arena. Zhang Lexuan and Jiang Nannan were there.
Jiang Nannan successfully passed the inner courtyard assessment a few days ago and is now an inner courtyard disciple.
Many teachers also came to watch the show and were looking forward to the battle.
Shi Yu and Ma Xiaotao had already arrived at the battle site and stood facing each other.
Shi Yu looked natural, smiling as he looked at Ma Xiaotao across from him.
Ma Xiaotao pinched her fingers, making a crackling sound, and looked at Shi Yu with a bit of ill intention: "I won't let you go. If you can't stand my beating, you can say something nice to make me go lighter."

"It depends on the situation, but I won't just hide. If I hit you too hard, please don't hold a grudge against me, Xiao Tao," Shi Yu said jokingly.
"I don't believe you have that ability," Ma Xiaotao snorted, feeling that the other party underestimated her strength.
Shi Yu smiled and said nothing more, looking at Yan Shaozhe who was in charge of the battle.
"The assessment begins," Yan Shaozhe said loudly, starting a more conspicuous timer.
Ma Xiaotao released her martial spirit, and a phantom of a fire phoenix appeared behind her. Seven spirit rings followed, creating the perfect combination of spirit rings. The temperature in the arena suddenly rose.
It is worth mentioning that this battle field is closed, and a square energy shield covers the square field.
The area is 100 meters by 100 meters, and the height from the ground to the top of the shield is about 100 meters.
Because the space was closed, the temperature inside rose rapidly after Ma Xiaotao's flame energy was released.
Fortunately, after Shi Yu had gone through two ice and fire body trainings, even the extreme fire did not make him feel uncomfortable. There was not much burning sensation, and it was quite comfortable.
He also released his martial spirit, and a space vortex appeared behind him, and four spirit rings appeared under his feet.
He has one yellow, two purple, and one black. The color combination of his spirit rings is quite eye-catching.
"Boom!" Ma Xiaotao was more aggressive and took the initiative to attack. The flames rushed towards Shi Yu fiercely, and the sound similar to the roar of a beast kept coming out as it streaked through the air.
Shi Yu took a step back and disappeared from the spot, causing Ma Xiaotao's attack to miss.
Ma Xiaotao immediately became alert to her surroundings, as Shi Yu could appear anywhere.
Shi Yu appeared behind Ma Xiaotao on the left, and the Eight Spider Lance behind him had been released, stabbing towards Ma Xiaotao, as if eight people were stabbing at Ma Xiaotao at the same time.
Ma Xiaotao was on high alert, still a little surprised, but she reacted quickly and moved away.
At the same time, a punch was thrown, flames gushed out, and scorching energy rushed towards him.
Shi Yu changed the Eight Spider Lance's thrust into a blocking one, like a shield, although it had some leakage.
The red and blue lines on the surface of the Eight Spider Lance lit up, continuously neutralizing the ferocious flaming fist force. Shi Yu neutralized Ma Xiaotao's punch without moving a muscle.
Ma Xiaotao's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the Eight Spider Lances behind Shi Yu with deep surprise. It seemed that his external soul bone had some control over his flames.
Yan Shaozhe, who was watching the game, also keenly noticed this and had a bad feeling.
"I should find a Soul Saint with other attributes to fight against Yu," Yan Shaozhe thought.
There were quite a few teachers who thought this way. They were relatively strong and had better eyesight, and they saw that Shi Yu seemed to have a natural advantage over the Fire Spirit Master.
Ma Xiaotao attacked again, the flames continued, all of them were hot and fierce, as if a terrifying fire creature was launching a fierce attack towards Shi Yu.
Shi Yu continued to teleport, combining his Eight Spider Lances to block and neutralize Ma Xiaotao's fierce attacks, rendering them ineffective.
Many inner court disciples were now surprised. Judging from the scene, Soul Sect Master Shi Yu and Ma Xiaotao were fighting on equal terms. How could this happen?
When a Soul Master faces a Soul Saint, the normal scene shouldn't be like this. The latter should crush the former.
