Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 204 Golden Tree Meditation

The metal arena gleamed with a cold light under the soul-guided lamp. As Gula lowered his eyes and walked down the steps, he was still recalling the strange feeling he had just experienced.

The autonomy of the avatar that just appeared exceeded that of the previous four avatars; it could make a perfect response with almost no need for him to actively control it.

"A mental-type martial soul... or a special case? Or perhaps some inevitable future..."

Gula murmured softly, his fingertips brushing against the soul tool, where many plant seeds were stored, but their bloodline levels were not high and they had little value for cultivation.

A thoughtful glint flashed in his dark golden eyes as he made a decision: "Find some seeds of spirit-type plant soul beasts to compare."

A sudden commotion nearby interrupted his thoughts.

Xie Xie was squatting on the steps of the rest area, clutching his full head of silver hair. His usually flamboyant brows were now furrowed in a bitter expression: "What a joke! The violent freak who punched me was actually a girl!?"

He mechanically repeated the sentence, not even noticing the lemonade Tang Wulin handed him, until the cool water droplets slid down the bottle onto his combat uniform.

"Hey, Xie Xie, didn't you notice?"

Tang Wulin, enjoying a free drink, pointed at Yuan Enye Hui, who was receiving treatment, while biting the straw. The girl's unconsciousness added to her fragility. "I could tell quite clearly. I thought you chose her because she's a girl."

Xie Xie looked up, his silver hair hanging limply, and said speechlessly, "Who could tell!"

As they were talking, a shower of emerald-colored light suddenly burst forth in the venue.

Yali stood in mid-air, her angelic spirit spinning a healing halo in her palm. As the holy light swept over them, the soul and mental power of the ten unconscious people rapidly recovered.

The Pure Flame of Glazed Glass specializes in attacking the mind and spirit. None of the ten people had any external injuries, and they quickly woke up one after another.

Yali keenly noticed that under the influence of Gula's strange soul skill, Yuanen Yehui's Fallen Angel Martial Soul was very quiet and showed no intention of taking the opportunity to invade Yuanen Yehui's mind.

In that case, Yali decided to have the ten second-year students continue to be the challengers.

Yuan Enhui still had the memory of what had just happened in her mind, and felt a sense of relief. She looked at Gula, who was deep in thought in the distance, with a complicated expression.

The upcoming assessment was like a pocket watch whose hands were turned forward.

Gu Yue stepped onto the arena on the tide of elements, and with just a few alternating changes of ice and fire elements, she forced her opponent to the edge of the arena.

The elements that should have been violent transformed into docile pets at her fingertips, obeying her commands. Unlike Gura, she didn't act arrogantly; she simply chose an opponent at random, stalled for a while, and then easily won, achieving a perfect score.

As dusk fell, Xu Xiaoyan's martial soul transformed into a star staff. Under absolute control, she fought a defensive soul master to a standstill, achieving a perfect score.

The next level, the ninth, is a virtual illusion. Combined with the tenth level, as expected, everyone passed easily.

Without Cai Yue'er nitpicking, everyone is a formal student and can enjoy Shrek Academy's facilities for free, such as the free food window, training grounds, and mimicry training grounds...

After passing through the last metal door, Wu Changkong waited for everyone at the finish line, a hint of relief appearing on his aloof face: "Congratulations, you have successfully passed the test, juniors."

"Yay!" Xu Xiaoyan cheered excitedly, but when she realized that the others weren't cooperating with her, she covered her mouth and shrank her neck.

Wu Changkong continued, "Tang Wulin, your teacher wants you to go to the inner courtyard to find him after you pass the assessment. Everyone else, go to your dormitories first. The semester will officially start the day after tomorrow."

"In addition, you can go to the Secondary Profession Association to get your secondary profession level certified as soon as possible. That is the main channel for students to make money and trade, which will be of great help to you in making battle armor in the future."

Wu Changkong, though seemingly cold, was warm-hearted. After giving Tang Wulin some careful instructions, he led him to the inner courtyard.

Gula followed along, heading towards Poseidon Island. The ferry to Poseidon's Pavilion cut through the golden waves, and Gula gazed at the approaching golden ancient tree, discovering that its seemingly still branches were trembling with a mysterious rhythm.

The golden tree exudes boundless life energy, nourishing the entire Poseidon Island.

The Poseidon Pavilion, built against a tree, appears to be asleep in the twilight, with the three characters "Poseidon Pavilion" on the plaque shimmering with a liquid gold-like luster.

The Sea God Pavilion is Shrek Academy's highest decision-making body and its treasure trove of secrets. All its secrets and treasures are hidden there, and currently, more than ten Super Douluo guard it year-round.

Gula stopped abruptly as he stepped onto the stairs—the Super Douluo lurking in the shadows were scrutinizing Gula and Tang Wulin with their eyes.

Staying on Poseidon Island all the time is quite boring; any new face that comes along can become a topic of conversation and discussion for them.

The leather combat boots made a crisp echo as they stepped on the wood. Gula lowered his eyes and gazed at the floor made of materials from ancient tree spirit beasts. The fine patterns shimmered with a star-like luster under the golden tree's glow.

Yun Ming traversed space and arrived before Gula, his eyes deep and unfathomable, containing indescribable emotions.

"follow me."

Gula thought to himself, "He's quite composed."

He then understood and said that it would take ten years for Shrek Academy to be destroyed. With Yunming's strong will, he would definitely try to solve the problem himself first. Only after failing to find a solution would he seek help from external forces or even Gula.

With this in mind, Gula remained completely calm.

The Spirit Pagoda, the Federation, and the Holy Spirit Cult all want Shrek Academy to be destroyed. Even if Yun Ming is the number one person on the continent, it is impossible for him to find out the real information under the cover of many parties.

Ultimately, they had to turn to Gula for help.

At that time, he will be able to glimpse the secrets of Yun Ming's self-created divine position, saving him from countless arduous cultivations.

Upon arriving at the underground space beneath the Golden Tree, Yun Ming explained:
"The Shrek ancestors built 108 rooms under the Golden Tree, encompassing the cultivation environment for all types of martial souls on the continent."

"But this place is not just for simple cultivation. The important thing is to take this opportunity to think and find your own unique path."

After a pause, Yun Ming gave Gula a meaningful look, "What type of room do you want to go to?"

Groudon had a plan in mind. With his clones around, Groudon's spirit could continue on its path without encountering any bottlenecks before becoming a god.

On the contrary, Celebi's martial soul is a fusion of complete original awakening, which he needs to develop himself. While the complete Celebi divine beast may not be strong in actual combat, its ability to travel through time and space is more precious than any other ability.

"I want a room with both spatial and spiritual attributes."

As for the wood attribute, there is no shortage of related traits in the entire Golden Tree environment, so there is no need to specifically look for it.

Yun Ming nodded thoughtfully and said, "The seventh passage on the right, the last room."

"The end of meditation is the end of enlightenment; take care of yourself."

He returned Gura's words to Gura.

Gula muttered a stingy remark, and after making sure Yunming could hear him, headed towards the seventh passageway to find the meditation room.
