Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

Upon seeing the situation, Gu Yue suddenly turned to look at Chu Ci, her eyes full of questions.

Chu Ci also gave Gu Yue a smug smile, "You haven't forgotten about me, have you?"

The Shadow Leopard seized the opportunity, disappearing into the shadows and bursting forth at incredible speed towards Xie Xie.

Gu Yue hurriedly used light elements to interfere with the Shadow Leopard, but the Shadow Leopard stubbornly resisted the light elements and did not slow down. In the blink of an eye, it was already in front of Xie Xie.

Xie Xie, who had just gotten up from the ground, was shocked to see the Shadow Leopard rushing towards him. He quickly used his second soul skill, Twin Dragon Storm, to block the Shadow Leopard.

However, Xie Xie discovered that even if he exerted all his strength, he could not activate his second soul ring. This was because Tang Wulin did not have a second soul skill, and for the sake of balance, Xie Xie could not activate his second soul skill either.

This delay allowed Xie Xie to be immediately caught off guard by the Shadow Leopard's Shadow Strike. Needless to say, Xie Xie, with his level sixteen soul power, was no match for the Shadow Leopard's full-force attack and was instantly knocked off the battlefield.

When Xie Xie fell awkwardly to the sidelines, his soul power had recovered to level 23.

As expected, forcibly altering a Soul Master's Soul Power was too much of a stretch and could only last for a very short time. Chu Ci observed Xie Xie's changes and shook his head and sighed helplessly.

The soul power balancing experiment on Xie Xie ended, and Chu Ci withdrew his gaze from Xie Xie and turned it to the remaining three people on the field.

"Ah!" Tang Wulin shouted and punched the Dark Gold Bear, which was bound by Blue Silver Grass. The immense force caused a dent in the Dark Gold Bear's belly.

The instant Tang Wulin struck the Dark Gold Bear, the Cave Spider suddenly sprang out from underground, its sharp legs piercing towards Tang Wulin's back.

Xu Xiaoyan raised the Star Wheel Ice Staff, and her first soul ring lit up. A ring of ice silently adhered to the Earth Demon Spider's body, causing the Earth Demon Spider's body to stiffen instantly.

Chapter 52: The battle ends, Chu Ci emerges victorious.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tang Wulin turned around, grabbed the spider's leg with his right hand, and slammed the cave spider hard onto the ground.

At the same time, several fireballs appeared in the sky and exploded on the cave spider.

The cave spider struggled desperately, finally managing to bite off the leg that had been grabbed and escape the attack.

With a flash of silver light, Gu Yue appeared beside Xu Xiaoyan, while Tang Wulin stood in front of them, looking solemnly at the Dark Gold Bear that had broken free from the control of the Blue Silver Grass.

"The Dark Gold Bear and the Cave Spider are already severely injured. The three of us can easily take them down." As soon as Tang Wulin finished speaking, Chu Ci reached out and beckoned.

A stream of light flashed across the two soul beasts; the Dark Gold Bear's injuries healed, and the Cave Spider's severed leg regrowed.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin and the other two exchanged glances, realizing that if they tried to outlast these two soul beasts, they would definitely lose.

After making up their minds, Tang Wulin and Gu Yue rushed towards the Dark Gold Bear and the Cave Demon Spider. Tang Wulin summoned a vast expanse of Blue Silver Grass to entangle the two soul beasts, while Xu Xiaoyan wielded the Star Wheel Ice Staff, with two ice wheels hidden within the Blue Silver Grass.

Caught off guard, the Dark Gold Bear and the Cave Spider were struck squarely by the Ice Wheel that flew out from the Blue Silver Grass, causing them to freeze simultaneously.

Gu Yue grabbed Tang Wulin's shoulder, and with a flash of silver light, appeared in front of Chu Ci.

Gu Yue waved his hands, mobilizing the three elements of ice, wind, and earth to control Chu Ci's actions from all aspects.

Tang Wulin used the Purple Demon Eye to launch a mental attack on Chu Ci, but the mental attack that hit Chu Ci was like a stone sinking into the sea, having no effect whatsoever.

Tang Wulin was startled, but he didn't stop moving, swinging his golden dragon claw at Chu Ci.

Chu Ci looked at the golden dragon claw so close to him, a smile appeared on his lips. His first and second soul rings lit up, and Chu Ci's figure disappeared, replaced by a dark golden bear appearing under the golden dragon claw.

Chu Ci appeared where the Dark Gold Bear had been, with Xu Xiaoyan standing in front of him.

Xu Xiaoyan was startled when Chu Ci suddenly appeared in front of her, but she didn't stop what she was doing and a circle of ice appeared in front of her.

Chu Ci ignited a blazing flame in his hand, shattered the ice wheel with a slap, then grabbed Xu Xiaoyan's shoulder and threw her off the field.

At the same time, the Dark Gold Bear's card flew back into Chu Ci's hand.

Just as Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, who had been tricked, were about to regroup and launch another attack on Chu Ci, a spider web cage suddenly appeared out of nowhere and trapped them.

This is the Cave Spider's innate skill – Spider Web Cage. The Cave Spider can hide its web in places it has passed through. This web can be controlled by its mental power, and it is activated without any warning or energy fluctuations, making it highly likely that the opponent will fall into its trap.

Moreover, the spider silk had been reinforced by Chu Ci, and with at least four layers of spider web covering it, its sturdiness was such that even Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw could not break through it for a while.

Chu Ci leaped high into the air, unleashing an unparalleled sword aura with the newly formed fiery longsword. Of course, it lacked sword intent.

A sword aura descended from the sky and struck Tang Wulin, who had just broken free of the spider silk. Wu Changkong blocked the sword and dragged Tang Wulin out of the arena, eliminating him from the competition.

Gu Yue escaped the sword strike by using spatial teleportation.

Chu Ci dissipated the flames from his longsword and said gently to Gu Yue, "Shall we continue fighting? I don't think it's necessary anymore."

Gu Yue glared fiercely at Chu Ci, then waved her hand, sending several ice spikes hurtling towards Chu Ci, clearly intending to put up a stubborn resistance.

Chu Ci smiled helplessly and gestured for Gu Yue to look behind her.

Suddenly, alarm bells rang in Gu Yue's mind. She turned around and saw the cave spider had appeared behind her at some point, its two thick, sharp front legs stabbing towards her face.

Gu Yue was startled by those two big, thick legs and involuntarily leaned backward.

Chu Ci used the Instant Step technique to instantly appear beside Gu Yue and reached out to embrace Gu Yue's slender waist.

Chu Ci held Gu Yue in his arms, inhaling her delicate fragrance, and said gently, "You lost."

"I just don't want to beat you." Gu Yue snorted and raised her head arrogantly.

"Then thank you for showing mercy," Chu Ci replied with a smile. Of course, he knew that Gu Yue had more tricks up her sleeve.

"Hey, how long are you guys going to keep hugging?" An untimely voice interrupted. Xie Xie stood to the side with a sullen expression, feeling quite unhappy about being the first to be eliminated.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue blushed and pulled away from Chu Ci's embrace. Although Chu Ci smiled, he was already thinking about how to increase Xie Xie's dosage.

Chu Ci walked up to Xu Xiaoyan, who was standing to the side, and said with a smile, "Welcome to Class Zero. You've done a great job."

"Thank you, class monitor. I'm nowhere near as good as you." Xu Xiaoyan smiled innocently, revealing her little tiger teeth.

Xu Xiaoyan was absolutely sincere when she said this. When she first saw the three thousand-year soul rings on Chu Ci's body, she was dumbfounded. Could a human do such a thing?

Looking at the formidable strength and miraculous abilities that Chu Ci displayed later, Xu Xiaoyan felt from the bottom of her heart that her brother, who was also a three-ring Soul Master, would not last three moves, no, two moves, against Chu Ci.

Not only Chu Ci, but also Gu Yue's manipulation of the six elements, Tang Wulin's immense power, and the performance of the other members of Class Zero made Xu Xiaoyan realize that joining Class Zero was definitely a great opportunity that she absolutely could not miss.

Xu Xiaoyan made up her mind that she must find a suitable opportunity to show her true strengths.

On the other side, after discussing the Tianhai Grand Competition with Long Hengxu, Wu Changkong entered the competition venue and waved to the others, "Come here."

The five Chu Ci members arrived in front of Wu Changkong.

"Do you understand the gap between you?" Wu Changkong's cold voice rang out.

“Understood,” the four people, except for Chu Ci, lowered their heads unconsciously and replied.

"Understood. From now on, train harder and narrow the gap between you." Wu Changkong said calmly.

Wu Changkong looked at Chu Ci and sighed, "I really can't understand you anymore."

"It's normal that a peerless genius wouldn't understand," Chu Ci replied smugly.

Wu Changkong's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he said irritably, "Don't be arrogant. You should know that there are always people better than you."

"Alright, then Teacher Wu, take us to your hometown. I want to see if there really are people more capable than you." Chu Ci was still smug.

Wu Changkong opened his mouth, but said nothing. In his opinion, perhaps only Yun Ming, the current head of the Sea God Pavilion, could match Chu Ci's talent in Shrek Academy.

Wu Changkong nodded to Tang Wulin, "You need to become more proficient in controlling the Blue Silver Grass."

"Yes, Teacher Wu," Tang Wulin replied.

Wu Changkong turned to Gu Yue and said, "You seem a bit distracted; this isn't the level you should be performing at."

Gu Yue lowered her head slightly. "We are partners, not enemies."

Wu Changkong said, "You've made rapid progress; keep up the good work. As for you..."

Turning to Xie Xie, she said, "If you want to keep up with them, you'll have to work even harder."

Chapter 53 Five Small Merchants' Pit Dance

Xie Xie's lips twitched slightly. He really hadn't let his guard down! However, he wouldn't say he had caught up with Chu Ci. After all, since the first day of training with Chu Ci, he had never had the unrealistic idea of ​​surpassing Chu Ci.

But even with Wu Lin and Gu Yue, he never imagined that these two freaks would improve so quickly.

Wu Changkong looked at Xu Xiaoyan one last time, "For now, you're qualified to stay. Remember, one month. Alright, you can arrange your own time today. Tomorrow, we'll start joint training, and I'll be your opponent. Three matches every day."

"Furthermore, I will use my soul skill." Wu Changkong left with these last words, his white robes fluttering as he departed.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit. He was eagerly anticipating sparring with Wu Changkong, who used a martial spirit.

The others, however, were somewhat panicked and gathered together to discuss their battle plan.

In the afternoon, while everyone was having lunch together, they chatted about the Tianjin Tianhai Grand Competition.

The Tianhai Grand Competition is a competition organized by the Tianhai Alliance, composed of several first-tier cities in eastern China, to select outstanding talents.

Xie Xie pouted, "What's the point of discussing the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition? Only Wu Lin can go, okay?"

"Not necessarily, we might all get to see it for ourselves!" Chu Ci said.

"Oh, class monitor, do you have some inside information?" Xie Xie asked in surprise, and the others also looked at Chu Ci with curiosity.

Chu Ci didn't speak, but just smiled mysteriously.

Seeing that Chu Ci was unwilling to speak, the group had no choice but to discuss how to deal with Wu Changkong's training.

"How can we possibly stand up to Teacher Wu with our strength?" Tang Wulin said with a hint of melancholy.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. What we need to think about is how to perfectly bring out our strengths under the guidance of the dance instructor. That's the purpose of training," Chu Ci comforted the slightly worried group.

"However, given our current situation, we do have a chance to trick Teacher Wu once."

"Really? What kind of opportunity?" Xie Xie's eyes lit up, and he immediately became excited.

Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan also stared intently at Chu Ci, eager to know what kind of trap the incredibly powerful Wu Changkong could fall into.

"Given the absolute validity of the Star Staff, we can definitely trick Teacher Wu into falling into our trap," Chu Ci explained.

Upon hearing Chu Ci's words, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue were all bewildered, having no idea what he was talking about.

Xu Xiaoyan covered her mouth in surprise, "Class monitor, how did you know about my martial spirit?"

"I guessed it when I heard you say that you would change at night." Chu Ci then began to use his precognitive advantage as a time traveler.

"Wow, class monitor, you know so much!" Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed with admiration.

At this moment, Tang Wulin and the others also realized that Xu Xiaoyan's martial soul seemed to be extraordinary.

"We'll have Xu Xiaoyan demonstrate it for you tonight," Chu Ci said.

Xu Xiaoyan nodded vigorously, because only by demonstrating her strength could she successfully stay in Class Zero.
