Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 235 The Wondrous Uses of All Things

Cai Yue'er slowly turned around, the pressure of a Super Douluo bearing down like a mountain: "What did you say?"

"I say..." Gula straightened his back under the pressure, his golden-red soul power faintly visible on his body, "This conflict could have been avoided. Le Zhengyu provoked first, and Yuanen Yehui was on the defensive. Why should they be punished equally?"

"Besides, I wasn't involved, so why should I be punished along with everyone else!"

"presumptuous!"

A silver light flew from Cai Yue'er's sleeve, but Gula dodged it, shattering the soul-guided camera in the distance. His eyes flashed with a cold light: "Questioning the master's judgment will result in an additional thousand contribution points! Now, everyone, get out of here and reflect on your mistakes!"

The students watching were very interested in the spectacle.

"This is going to be interesting..."

"He dared to talk back to Elder Cai, what a brave man! It's a pity he'll definitely be punished!"

“My camera…” (＿)
……

Despite the oppressive aura, Gula suddenly laughed amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd. He turned to look at the students watching the spectacle from afar, muttering in a voice only a few nearby could hear: "What a farce... Since that's the case, let's make it even bigger."

Yuan Enhui's steps faltered almost imperceptibly, and a hint of confusion suddenly mingled with the anger in Le Zhengyu's eyes. Tang Wulin keenly sensed something amiss, his instincts acting faster than his brain.

"careful!"

Tang Wulin's warning had barely left his mouth when it seemed to have reminded someone else.

Gula had already switched to Celebi's spirit. His second spirit ring, which he had never shown in public before, flashed by at his waist—the eerie red light was so fast it seemed like an illusion, yet it made Cai Yue'er's pupils suddenly contract.

"…impossible!"

Cai Yue'er's silver hair moved without wind, and the soul power fluctuations of a nine-ringed Soul Douluo caused the restaurant chandelier to shake violently. "A hundred thousand-year soul ring?"

She forcibly suppressed the thought as soon as it surfaced; how could a fourth-ring Soul Master allow a soul spirit to evolve to 100,000 years?

The Spirit Pagoda could not possibly allow a student with a 100,000-year soul ring to remain at Shrek Academy.

She maintained her authority as a teacher and rebuked in a stern voice: "What are you doing!" Her voice was already carrying a mental shock, and an ordinary Soul Master should have had their Soul Skill interrupted by now.

Gura simply shrugged casually. "Nothing much, just the headmaster punishing those who didn't do anything wrong..."

As he spoke, a bright blue light suddenly burst forth in his eyes, a light that instantly engulfed the entire cafeteria like a tidal wave. "I have to make up for your 'mistake'."

The spiritual power of the peak Spirit Abyss Realm cultivator materialized into tangible ripples, and the more than sixty students who were watching the spectacle didn't even have time to show any signs of fear.

Their pupils dilated in the same second, their martial spirits were released uncontrollably, and the entire restaurant was instantly illuminated by the colorful light of their spirit rings.

The myriad phenomena of the universe are but dreams and illusions.

One by one, the students were drawn into a dream world, where they saw their deepest obsessions and dreams, or thoughts they dared not express openly.

As Gula chanted the soul incantation, the tall, thin student who was the first to be affected suddenly sprang to his feet, his cultivation as a three-ring Soul Master unleashing a Soul Master-level fluctuation of soul power: "Ahhh! Damn Li Mingrui, Xiaoxue must be mine!"

The Wind Eagle Martial Soul behind him materialized completely, and three wind blades directly shredded the dining table in front of him into pieces.

The chain reaction spread like dominoes.

A female student, tears streaming down her face, summoned her Snow Fox Martial Soul: "Can't the four of us live together peacefully?"

The boy opposite her, however, with bloodshot eyes, donned his right arm armor and declared, "Kill you! Li Mingrui is mine!" Most chillingly, all the students trapped in the illusion turned to Cai Yue'er.

Their eyes reflected their own inner demons, yet they all unanimously regarded the outer court dean as their enemy. Three sixth-year students, already at the Soul King level, even formed a triangular battle formation, their dazzling ten-thousand-year soul rings gleaming beneath their feet.

"Get out! The 100,000-year-old soul bone is mine!"

The leading offensive-type battle spirit king transformed his arms into giant rock fists, and his fifth spirit skill, "Earth Pulse Tremor," slammed directly into Cai Yue'er's face.

His two companions behind him simultaneously activated their fifth spirit rings, and the ceiling of the restaurant crumbled and fell plaster under the impact of this energy.

Gula gracefully stepped aside to move to the center of the stage, watching the absurd drama with a twitching corner of her mouth.

It's a pity he can't see inside the illusion, otherwise it would be quite a good pastime.

Cai Yue'er stood there with a livid face, her protective soul power as a nine-ring Soul Douluo deflecting all the first dozen or so soul skills that attacked her.

What alarmed her was not the intensity of the students' attacks, but the terrifying control that Gula displayed—more than sixty Soul Masters of different levels were simultaneously trapped in an illusion. What kind of exquisite mental power control would that require?
"Am I really not seeing things?"

In the instant Cai Yue'er was distracted in thought, a dagger from a Soul Master of Agility had already slashed past her sleeve.

The old woman's eyes flashed with cold light. With a wave of her sleeve, she knocked back more than twenty students, but deliberately controlled her strength so that they only fell to the ground.

"wake up!"

This time, Cai Yue'er used the mental shockwave of the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm, and the sound waves crashed into the restaurant wall, creating spiderweb-like cracks.

However, the trainees merely shook their heads before charging forward even more frantically. Some even began to equip their battle armor components, causing their soul power to surge dramatically.

The battlefield was now completely out of control. A human wall of over thirty offensive-type Soul Masters charged forward recklessly, while seven control-type Soul Masters wove a cage of Soul Skills behind them. There were even two support-type Soul Masters casting amplifying Soul Skills on their comrades—even though they had no idea what they were doing.

More than sixty students unleashed their martial spirits like madmen, treating Cai Yue'er as their enemy. They used their strongest moves, coordinating perfectly, and their combined attack, comparable to a small-scale battle, charged towards Cai Yue'er.

Cai Yue'er's face turned ashen. As a Super Douluo, she would certainly not be hurt by a group of little guys who were mostly not even Soul Kings. However, she was put in a difficult position by Gula's actions. Especially afterward, should she punish these controlled students?

She was still distracted because if Ruo Gula really made the soul break through 100,000 years, even if the other party was a person from the Spirit Pagoda, she would report to the Sea God Pavilion and snatch the person away.

"impossible!"

Cai Yue'er shook her head in disbelief, "Even a 100,000-year-old soul skill's power depends on the soul master's own qualities!"

No, to be able to withstand a soul that's been around for 100,000 years, what level of spiritual power does Gula possess?!
Cai Yue'er was unsettled. She waved her hand and released her soul power, which was like a gentle breeze, and once again repelled more than ten students at the front.

Despite being trapped in the illusion, the students remained fearless and continued to charge forward.

"Roar of the Mad Lion in Flames!"

"Holy Light Slash!"

"Exterminate evil!"

One soul skill after another was unleashed, and Cai Yue'er's face turned ashen. "Enough!"

She unleashed the full power of a Super Douluo, attempting to suppress everyone to the ground.

However, the pressure would only work if everyone was mentally alert. At this moment, they were all in the illusion maze. Unless Cai Yue'er broke Gula's soul skill first, the pressure would not work.
