Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

"Thank you, senior." Chu Ci and his group said gratefully. They hadn't had time to eat lunch on their way to Tiandou City, and they were all feeling quite hungry.

"Oh, right, Chu Ci, stay behind for a moment, I have something to tell you," Zhenhua suddenly added.

After the others except Chu Ci left, Zhen Hua asked Chu Ci to sit on the sofa, "How's the completion of the Three-Word Battle Armor Soul Weapon?"

"I've made progress on how the soul learns from that part of the energy containing emotions, and I'm preparing to make a technological breakthrough," Chu Ci said.

Zhenhua nodded and advised, "Take it slow. The most important thing is to be steady and methodical. You are still very young and have plenty of time to improve your Soul Weapon system in the future. There's no need to rush."

"Yes, I understand." Chu Ci replied, but Zhen Hua did not respond. He lowered his head and remained silent, seemingly thinking about something.

Chu Ci paused for two seconds, then tentatively asked Zhen Hua, "Um, senior, is there anything else?"

Zhenhua looked at Chu Ci with deep eyes and said in a deep voice, "I kept you here mainly to emphasize two points to you."

"First, before your Heavenly Candle breaks through level 90, do not let any other soul weapons break through level 90. According to my estimate, level 89 soul weapons are enough for a Limit Douluo."

"Secondly, I have a premonition that something terrifying will happen when the Soul Weapon breaks through level 90, so you must come to me. Remember this very well."

"I will always remember this."

Chu Ci's expression was solemn because he strongly agreed with Zhen Hua's view that something terrifying would happen if a Soul Weapon broke through to level 90.

To put it simply, a Soul Weapon breaking through to level 90 means that the metal body of the weapon has broken through the Heavenly Forging stage, and the soul spirit of the weapon has broken through the 100,000-year mark.

It's important to know that metals need to undergo a tribulation of lightning to break through to the Heavenly Forging Realm, and soul beasts also need to undergo a tribulation of lightning to break through to the Ten Thousand Year Realm. The thought of a soul weapon combining these two and breaking through together sent chills down Chu Ci's spine.

……

When Chu Ci and Zhen Hua entered the cafeteria, Tang Wulin and the others were enjoying a hearty meal.

Chu Ci glanced at the food on the table and found that each dish was made with extremely precious ingredients.

He truly deserves to be called the only master craftsman of our time; he must be incredibly wealthy.

An elderly man in his fifties, who looked like a chef, saw Zhenhua and shouted, "Zhenhua, these kids you brought can really eat! The ingredients I prepared here are almost gone!"

"Really?" Zhenhua was a little surprised. Every ingredient in his cafeteria contained a lot of energy. Ordinary people would feel full after eating just a little bit, but now they had almost finished eating.

Chapter 101 Final Exam, Session 1

The chef pointed to Tang Wulin, who was diligently working on his plate, and said with a wry smile, "This kid ate most of it."

The chef then turned his gaze to Chu Ci, clicking his tongue in amazement, "Zhenhua, this is the creator of the Soul Weapon you mentioned. Truly extraordinary!"

Chu Ci has a handsome appearance, a tall and straight figure, and a refined temperament, but there is a sharp edge hidden in his eyes. However, he is indeed a man of great talent.

"You flatter me, senior," Chu Ci said.

"Judging from your tone, you know me?" the chef asked with interest.

Chu Ci smiled and said, "The renowned Body Douluo Senior Mu Ye is a name I've heard countless times, how could I not know him!"

"Wow, I didn't expect that some young people these days would actually know me." Mu Ye suddenly found Chu Ci much more agreeable, and pointed at Gu Yue, "Go eat, that little girl is saving your food."

Chu Ci bowed, came to the dining table, and sat down next to Gu Yue.

Gu Yue placed a dish in front of Chu Ci and said, "Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

After placing a plate of red jade shrimp in front of Tang Wulin, Mu Ye pulled Zhen Hua aside and asked in a low voice, "Zhen Hua, is that soul weapon reliable or not?"

Zhenhua patted Muye on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure, it's very reliable. The status of battle armor in the soul master world will likely be replaced by soul weapons."

"I have a feeling that the entire continent will be changed because of Chu Ci, which may be an opportunity for the Body Sect."

After a long silence, Mu Ye turned and went back to the kitchen. A short while later, he brought out a plate of red jade shrimp and placed it in front of Chu Ci.

"Thank you, senior." Chu Ci was taken aback for a moment, then expressed his gratitude.

……

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they bid farewell to Zhenhua and went to the Heavenly Dou Soul Master Academy to complete their final exams.

Standing in front of the Heaven Dou Soul Master Academy gate, Tang Wulin asked, "Class monitor, what do we do next?"

Chu Ci produced a megaphone from somewhere and said calmly, "What else can we do but put on a show?"

Chu Ci took a deep breath, focusing his energy in his dantian. The next moment, his mouth spewed out all sorts of extremely arrogant words like a machine gun.

Soon, under Chu Ci's barrage of firepower, a middle-aged man stepped out.

"Are you Shrek Academy students here to challenge us?" the middle-aged man asked.

“That’s right!” Chu Ci nodded.

Upon receiving Chu Ci's reply, the middle-aged man waved his hand, "Come in, we've already arranged opponents for you."

Led by the middle-aged man, Chu Ci and his group arrived at the sparring arena of the Heavenly Dou Soul Master Academy.

There were already seven people waiting by the arena, and they were undoubtedly Chu Ci and his group's opponents.

The middle-aged man pointed to the seven students from the Heavenly Battle Soul Master Academy and introduced them to Chu Ci and his group: "These seven are our academy's outstanding students, with an average age of sixteen, which is perfect for you to challenge them."

“Yes,” Chu Ci nodded and asked, “Director Zhao, as the party being challenged, you have the right to choose the form of this battle.”

"Personal battle or team battle, choose one."

Upon hearing Chu Ci's somewhat flippant words, all seven members of the Heavenly Dou Soul Master Academy showed displeasure and resolved to teach Chu Ci a lesson.

The middle-aged man, Director Zhao, said calmly to his students, "You can discuss and choose which format to use."

After a brief exchange of whispers among the seven students from the Heavenly Dou Soul Master Academy, Zou Yu, the team leader and a tall, slender boy, said, "We'll choose the individual battle."

Director Zhao didn't hesitate. He leaped onto the stage, activated the arena's protective shield, and said in a deep voice, "The individual battles will now begin, Shrek Academy versus Heavenly Soul Master Academy. The first round will now begin. Please have both contestants step onto the stage."

Chu Ci listened to the information Taiyi reported through the miniature wireless earpiece in his right ear, thought for a moment, and then said, "Xinglan, you go first."

"it is good!"

Ye Xinglan was the first to step onto the stage, and coldly asked, "Who will be my opponent?"

"I come!"

A muscular young man walked up from the opposite side.

"Ye Xinglan, a power-attack type battle spirit master."

"Liu Lianpei, a powerful offensive Soul Master."

After both sides gave brief self-introductions, Director Zhao gave the order, "The competition begins!"

Holding the Star God Sword, Ye Xinglan had three soul rings rising beneath her feet, and a burst of starlight erupted from her.

Liu Lianpei clashed his fists together, a pair of bull horns sprouted from his head, his skin turned bright red, and even the breath he exhaled was tinged with fire.

This is precisely the effect of Liu Lianpei's Lava Demon Bull Martial Soul possessing him.

The second of the four soul rings surrounding Liu Lianpei flickered, and he swung his fists, which were burning with raging flames. In an instant, flames swirled around him, and countless fireballs the size of heads flew towards Ye Xinglan.

Ye Xinglan's expression turned slightly cold, and the Star God Sword trembled slightly as the starlight split into several smaller starlight beams.

When the small starlight touched the fireball, the star god power on the starlight blocked Liu Lianpei's control.

Immediately, the fireball veered off course and crashed uncontrollably into other fireballs beside it.

The fireball that was hit deviated from its path and hit another fireball, which in turn hit yet another fireball, and so on, like dominoes falling one after another and everything went completely out of control.

Ye Xinglan's eyes were sharp. He pushed off the ground with his left foot and rushed in front of Liu Lianpei. The Star God Sword in his hand transformed into thousands of starlight and enveloped Liu Lianpei.

Liu Lianpei roared, his fourth spirit ring lit up, his body expanded, and faintly hot steam rose from it.

Liu Lianpei threw a punch, the scorching heat of his fist distorting the air.

In Ye Xinglan's hands, the Star God Sword seemed to melt into his skin, and the Star God power on the sword easily extinguished the flames on his fist, dissipating Liu Lianpei's punching force.

Seizing the opportunity presented by Liu Lianpei's weakened state—his old strength had dissipated while his new strength had not yet been generated—Ye Xinglan unleashed her sword intent and launched a full-force attack.

With the enhancement of sword intent, the power of the third soul skill, Sword Starfall, increased greatly. Blood dripped from Liu Lianpei's body, and he was cleaved by the sword and could no longer maintain the amplified state of the fourth soul skill.

Liu Lianpei tried to resist, but Ye Xinglan wouldn't give him any chance. With a smooth sword move, the Star God Sword was already at Liu Lianpei's neck.

"The first match, Shrek Academy wins." Director Zhao's voice rang out at the opportune moment.

Ye Xinglan sheathed her sword and stepped off the stage. Chu Ci looked at her and nodded, "Not bad!"

"Hmph," Ye Xinglan snorted coldly, proudly raising her head.

"Next up, Xie Xie will be on stage," Chu Ci said.

Xie Xie nimbly leaped onto the arena. A fighting spirit flashed across Zou Yu's face, but he quickly suppressed it and sent out a team member.

The Heavenly Dou Soul Master Academy sent a four-ring, offensive-type battle soul master, Xie Xie, who won another round thanks to his twin martial souls and outstanding combat talent.

"The second match, Shrek Academy, wins."

Chapter 102 Two Matches in a Row

Next was the third round. Chu Ci looked up at the setting sun and said, "Gu Yue!"

Zou Yu clenched his left fist behind his back and said calmly, "Peng Zhongze!"

A kind-looking boy approached from the opposite direction. Four spirit rings rose from Peng Zhongze's feet, and a purple vine surrounded his body.

Purple Demon Vine, a plant-based martial soul known for its extreme poison.

Peng Zhongze is a control-type Soul Master among the seven. It seems that after losing two rounds in a row, Zou Yu wants to win one back.

In one-on-one combat, control-type Soul Masters do have a significant advantage; as long as they can control their opponent, they can secure victory.

Zou Yu's ideas were grand, but reality was harsh, because Peng Zhongze's opponent was Gu Yue.

As soon as the third battle began, Gu Yue combined the wind and fire elements.

The wind fanned the flames, creating a sea of ​​fire in front of Gu Yue.

When Peng Zhongze saw this, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Although his Purple Demon Vine was an extremely high-level plant-type soul master, it still couldn't avoid the common problem that plants are afraid of fire.

With Gu Yue setting off a fire in front of him, many of his methods became difficult to execute.

Peng Zhongze lit up his third soul ring, and purple sap seeped from the Purple Demon Vine. With a final flick of the vine, countless drops of highly poisonous purple sap flew towards Gu Yue.

Taking advantage of Gu Yue's action to block the purple venom, Peng Zhongze quickly moved around the field, looking for a suitable point of attack.

Limited by his soul power, Gu Yue's sea of ​​fire did not cover a large area. Peng Zhongze quickly found a point of attack, clapped his hands, and the Purple Demon Vine burst out of the ground, rushing towards Gu Yue like an arrow.
