Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 162 The Changes of the Golden Ancient Tree

Winter comes and goes, spring goes and autumn comes, and Lin Yi's retreat has lasted for a year.

During this year, a lot of things happened in Shrek.

First of all, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan and He Caitou all passed the inner courtyard assessment.

In fact, Beibei had already entered the inner courtyard before Lin Yi went into seclusion. The assessment was the simplest one, not because Beibei was the great-great-grandson of the master of the Sea God Pavilion, but because Lin Yi was increasingly neglecting the dragon-patterned rice fields, and the inner courtyard needed a farmer.

Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan and He Caitou were not too late after Beibei. Although their soul power was slightly inferior, anyone with the cultivation level of a fourth-ring soul master could enter the inner courtyard.

What's more, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan and He Caitou are members of the Shrek Seven Devils reserve team. No matter from which aspect, the academy will not hinder their assessment.

Moreover, except for Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan and He Caitou are basically certain to stay in the academy. Jiang Nannan is a commoner, and He Caitou and Fanyu are like father and son. They are both the backbone of the academy's future.

As for Xu Sanshi, that was a mystery. He was clearly the young master of the Xuanming Sect. No matter his bloodline, talent, strength, or temperament, he was the best choice. Although he was a bit lustful and a bit vulgar, he was still a man...

No matter what, he is a strong candidate for the next leader of Xuanming Sect, but Xuanming Sect seems to have forgotten this young leader, and Xu Sanshi himself seems to prefer staying in the academy.

But the question is, what’s the point?
I haven't heard that Xuanming Sect has a more suitable candidate for the successor to the sect leader. The only reason Xu Sanshi can find is Jiang Nannan.

But Jiang Nannan's attitude towards Xu Sanshi...

Anyway, very fascinating.

Putting this aside, the thing with the greatest impact is probably the re-emergence of the Body Sect.

Moreover, as soon as he was born, he went straight to Shrek Academy, the leader of the three top forces.

The leader of the Body Sect, Du Bu Si, personally led the team to attack Shrek Academy and demanded that Shrek hand over all the soul masters with body martial souls.

Among those who were specifically named as being to be taken away was the son of destiny, Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao was naturally confused by this. He was attending classes in the outer courtyard at the time. As the only core disciple of both the martial soul and soul guidance departments in the academy, running between the two was indeed difficult, but Huo Yuhao himself felt very fulfilled.

The two people from the Benti Sect that I met in the previous competition had long been forgotten. Who would have known that the people from the Benti Sect were so reckless and directly came to Shrek Academy to snatch people.

Being beaten at their doorstep, the Shrek people were naturally very angry. Half of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion were dispatched, and even Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe, who were still in seclusion, came out and took action.

It seems that he was very depressed during the period of seclusion.

Ming Feng Douluo, who had broken through to level ninety-six, displayed his divine power and fought fiercely with the Super Douluo of the Body Sect, who had the title of Golden Body Douluo.

It has to be said that although Yan Shaozhe's temperament is average, his strength is still okay. Even if that Golden Body Douluo activated the second awakening of his martial soul, which was still at the silver level, Yan Shaozhe was still only slightly inferior.

Light converged. The phoenix roared, and the might of Mingfeng Douluo was fully displayed, in no way inferior to the long-established Golden Body Douluo.

As for Xuan Zi, he directly confronted Du Bushi. The two of them had a disagreement and started fighting.

Du Bu Si, who has reached the second awakening of the gold level, has even reached the threshold of Extreme Douluo, but Xuan Zi can actually withstand it.

Xuan Zi, who had solved most of the defects of his martial soul, obviously had a deeper control over his martial soul. Although he was also at a disadvantage, for a moment, he was able to hold back Du Bu Si who was attacking with all his strength.

At the last moment, Moon made a move. Although Moon's injury had not healed, he was strong enough to attack with all his strength. In Lin Yi's impression, Moon only released his aura a few times and had never actually made a move.

But Moon, who had been lying down for decades, finally felt itchy. He didn't have many opportunities normally, so this time when Du Bu Si came to him, Moon didn't miss the opportunity.

After letting Xuanzi satisfy his desire for a while, he fought against all the invading enemies of the Benti Sect on his own.

How strong can an Extreme Douluo be who can use his full strength?

No one saw it except a few old men from Shrek. They only knew that in the end, Du Bu Si left in silence.

The attack by the Body Sect seemed to start strong but end weakly, but as the only force that reached Shrek's doorstep, this action made the whole world remember the name of the Body Sect, and its reputation soared.

But the biggest beneficiary of this carefully planned comeback event of the Body Sect is not the Body Sect.

It was Shrek Academy. When a peak Super Douluo at level 98 gathered the people of his sect and wanted to make a big event to announce that the main sect would come out directly, he was directly pushed back by an Extreme Douluo from Shrek Academy.

Although this battle brought out all of Shrek Academy's top combat forces, even if the secret of Shrek's combat power was exposed, the major forces in the world still did not have any tricks against Shrek.

When the gap in strength is too great, even if the opponent reveals his cards, folding and admitting defeat is the only option.

As a result, news that was even more explosive than the news of the re-emergence of the Body Sect spread like wildfire across the mainland.

The news that Shrek Academy's Dragon God Douluo was still alive spread like wildfire.

After that, the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, the head of Mingde Hall, came to visit Shrek Academy. The two sides reached a consensus on the exchange and learning between the academies, and made certain speculations on the future development of soul instructors and soul masters.

At the same time, in order to express his respect for Shrek Academy's ten thousand year history, promote the development of Shrek Academy's soul guide department, and realize the formation of a situation where soul guides flourish on Douluo Continent, the master of Jing Hongchen voluntarily donated four ninth-level soul guides and four eighth-level soul guides to Shrek Academy.

In order to express its gratitude to Hall Master Jing Hongchen, Shrek Academy invited Hall Master Jing Hongchen to visit the core area of ​​Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion, making Hall Master Jing Hongchen the first outsider to enter Poseidon Pavilion in history.

The head of Jing Hongchen Hall expressed his deep honor and took out a ninth-level soul guide he carried with him and presented it to Shrek Academy. Both parties were delighted.

After the conversation, Hall Master Jing Hongchen left on his own, agreeing that the two sides would begin their exchange and learning in two years. However, no matter how much fanfare this caused, it failed to awaken Lin Yi, who was in seclusion merging with the Golden Ancient Tree.

But after a year, Lin Yi's retreat was finally coming to an end.

One day, there was a sudden thunder over the Seagod Island, and thick dark clouds filled the entire Seagod Island, so dark that it was hard to breathe.

This was the first time that such extreme weather had occurred on Poseidon Island, a country with warm weather all year round. Everyone from the elders to the students could not help but walk to the open space outside, looking at the dark clouds in the sky with a worried mood.

Only Moon seemed to have thought of something and told everyone not to panic.

The next moment, dark clouds gathered and swirled, like the eyes of heavenly punishment, staring at the ancient golden tree.

Dazzling lightning snakes flashed and jumped in the dark clouds.

An indescribable feeling of oppression and danger weighed on everyone's heart.

Moon just told everyone not to panic and everything was normal.

Then, under the horrified gazes of countless people, a pillar of lightning struck directly and hit the ancient golden tree.

The ancient golden tree with lush branches and leaves was instantly struck by the lightning pillar, and countless branches were cut off, and there was no end in sight.

Continuous pillars of lightning struck down, burning the ancient golden tree to black.

If the ancient golden tree had not already grown into a towering giant and the Seagod Pavilion had only occupied a portion of its lower end, the highest authority of Shrek Academy and the symbol of Seagod Island could have been demolished and rebuilt.

Originally, those elders could not help but want to take action, but they were all driven back by Moon one by one and watched quietly.

The elders and inner court students then slowly discovered that although the ancient golden tree was struck by the thunder as if it had been bitten by a dog, the golden color of its entire body seemed to be becoming purer.

The breath of life emitted became more intense, and the charred areas began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Beibei, who was working hard in the dragon-patterned rice field, looked a little strange when he saw this scene. As he had been to the Thunder Valley in the past, this scene looked very familiar to him.

If he guessed correctly, this was another work of that living ancestor.

But Moon in front of the Poseidon Pavilion's eyes suddenly changed.

Because he suddenly discovered that fine arcs of lightning were still jumping on the constantly recovering ancient golden tree, but these arcs of lightning were disappearing rapidly.

It did not dissipate naturally, but was swallowed by the ancient golden tree.

After discovering this, Moon immediately ordered all the elders and students to disperse.

What he just did was obviously the devouring attribute that Lin Yi had kept secret. If it were discovered by those students, it might cause some trouble.

To be on the safe side, the old man also retreated to avoid trouble.

But the changes of the golden ancient tree still did not stop. Moon was at the door of the Sea God Pavilion, closest to the golden ancient tree. He could clearly feel a powerful spiritual fluctuation coming from the golden ancient tree.

That was definitely not Lin Yi's mental fluctuation. Lin Yi's mental power was indeed not weak. Although Moon didn't understand why his disciple had such a strong mental power, the fluctuation was still familiar.

The mental fluctuation just now was not only much stronger than Lin Yi's, but also far superior in quality.

Even the mental strength of him, an Extreme Douluo, is far inferior to it.

The first thing Moon thought of was the Shrek ancestors who had merged their souls with the ancient golden tree over the long years.

Considering its previous devouring attribute, this ancient golden tree might have devoured the ancestors of Shrek to have such terrifying mental power now.

But now Lin Yi was still in the process of merging with the ancient golden tree. For the sake of his disciple, Moon had to suppress his doubts for the time being. However, in his heart, he also had some doubts about Lin Yi...

Of course, things were not irreversible. On the one hand, Moon understood the temperament of his disciples. On the other hand, no one directly related to Moon merged with the ancient golden tree.

When his teacher passed away, he had already grown up, so there was no need for the old man to sacrifice his soul. Now the old man's grave is still buried in the Sea God Island Cemetery, and Moon also visits his teacher from time to time.

However, he hadn't taken Lin Yi to worship yet. Moon En thought it was about time for his master to see his grandson...

Just as he was thinking this, a heavy aura suddenly spread out in front of the ancient golden tree. Although it was not strong, its purity was even greater than Xuan Zi's.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of light appeared in front of the ancient golden tree, and Lin Yi's figure quietly appeared.

But the position seemed a little off. Lin Yi, who was originally sitting cross-legged, suddenly appeared more than half a meter above the ground.

Lin Yi's legs seemed to be numb, and before he could stretch his legs and stand up straight, he fell headfirst under the tree. Because of the angle of landing, his chest and neck hit the ground first. After a few round rolls, he came right in front of Moon.

"Well... Master, I'm out of seclusion."

"..."
