Douluo: No one but me can become a god.

"Hmm, this will do. It's fairly spacious here." Sikong Zheng looked around and, seeing that no one was passing by and the terrain was flat, nodded to himself, somewhat satisfied.

Where should we start? If we want a defensive soul skill, let's start with Wooden Ingot Wall.

Although my sixth soul skill is the Ranking Technique, which has strong defense, it can only be awakened when I reach level 60, and I cannot use it for a short period of time.

And since my attack methods are the same, I can't just use my ultimate move because someone else has a minor soul skill! I'll use a big shield to block a small knife.

The wooden ingot wall should be enough to block some minor soul skills. Normally, I would control the large tree to gather as a defensive skill, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Using wooden ingots allows one to create a semi-circular barrier with decent defense using less soul power, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

Thinking of this, Sikong Zheng no longer hesitated. He clapped his hands, mobilized his soul power, and shouted, "Wood Release: Wood Wall!"

The color blue represents the abundant life force of Wood Release, and a row of blue wooden pillars bends from the ground to form an archway that protects Sikong Zheng within it.

Sikong Zheng looked at the wooden pillar archway above him that protected him, stepped out of the archway, took a deep breath, clenched his right fist, took a half step back, and mobilized all his strength to gather in his right arm.

With his right arm drawn like a fully drawn bow, Sikong Zheng unleashed a powerful punch, slamming it against the wooden wall.

Silence reigned all around; the wooden ingot wall remained perfectly still.

"Ouch, ouch, that hurts!" Sikong Zheng instantly pulled back his right hand, clutching it and jumping up and down.

Before long, Sikong Zheng's right hand gradually recovered under the healing of the immortal's body, and he shook his right hand.

"Phew~", I didn't expect it to be so hard, but what I didn't expect was that it was successful on the first try.

Hmm, it should be related to my attempt at wood transformation last night. Because of the many attempts I made yesterday, and because wood transformation requires precise control, I was able to gently cover my entire body with wood release, allowing me to manipulate wood release more subtly.

The wooden ingot wall is relatively simple; you only need to focus your soul power on the wooden arch wall. There are no fancy tricks; it's simple and straightforward.

Alright, let's try another self-created soul skill. Let's try the cutting technique that Obito used before!

The art of thorn cutting involves growing long wooden thorns from the arm and inserting them into the enemy's body to perform a piercing attack. Once inside the enemy's body, the thorns continue to branch and grow, piercing the enemy's body from the inside, making it extremely cruel.

Undoubtedly, this soul skill is very powerful once it is developed. It is a very powerful way to defeat enemies. Once hit, the enemy will either die or be seriously injured.

In summary, it is highly lethal.

Sikong Zheng stretched out his right hand, his inner soul power surging forth, and a long wooden spike shot out from his arm.

Sikong Zheng stopped outputting his soul power, and the one-meter-long wooden spikes stopped extending.

This should be a success, right? Sikong Zheng looked at the long wooden spike on his arm, but unfortunately he couldn't find an opportunity to test its specific power and whether it would grow branches after piercing the enemy's body.

We can't exactly have the people from the academy do the testing, can we?

Let's wait until later and go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find a soul beast to test it out! Or we can try it out at the Great Soul Arena.

The cutting propagation technique cannot be tested at the moment; it has not been put into practice, and its specific effectiveness is unknown.

The petrification system is not yet fully developed, there are relatively few offensive soul skills, and too few ways to deal with it.

Hmm, we could consider developing another soul skill; Yamato's Great Forest Technique should be a good option.

Using Wood Release techniques, wooden vines extend from the arm to capture the enemy.

This technique feels like releasing a weakened, smaller version of Tree World Advent from the arm.

Hehe, I'm very good at this. Sikong Zheng found a big tree and swung his right arm forward.

Instantly, dozens of green tree branches burst forth from his right arm like snakes, winding and twisting as they crashed into the large tree.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A cloud of dust rose up, and the big tree snapped in two, its trunk shattering into pieces and scattering on the ground.

"Hmm," Sikong Zheng nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the scattered tree trunks and limbs on the ground. "The impact of the trees was decent."

The power of this Great Forest Technique was greatly increased when released by himself, after all, Sikong Zheng's Wood Release had the same vitality as the Wood Release released by Hashirama.

The power of Wood Release with life force is vastly different from that of Wood Release without life force.

Like Yamato's Wood Release, which is just plain wood and lacks vitality, it's very fragile. Furthermore, the Great Forest Technique feels similar to the Hidden Shadow Snake Hands.

Sikong Zheng walked towards another large tree and whispered, "Great Forest Technique!" Dozens of green trees shot out, but this time they did not attack directly; instead, they entangled the tree.

Well, the binding force is not bad. Sikong Zheng mobilized his soul power, and the trees were suddenly pulled, and the big trees that were deeply rooted in the ground were instantly uprooted.

Excellent, excellent. It's good in both offensive and restraining functions, and most importantly, it's quick to release, achieving a surprise effect.

Phew, today's soul skill trials went very smoothly. I'll try other soul skills if needed in the future!

Let's go back to Shrek Academy to rest first. After all, we haven't slept all night. Although it's okay for a Soul Master to not sleep all night, we still need to go to the Soul Arena to test the combat effectiveness.

He should focus on getting his mind in order first. After all, the targets he's testing right now are just big, immobile trees that can't fight back. A real opponent won't stand still and let you hit them.

Only through actual combat testing can we know the advantages and disadvantages. Sikong Zheng looked at the messy ground, used his Wood Release to erase all traces, clapped his hands, and returned to Shrek Academy with satisfaction.

...........................

Shrek, two figures walked towards him.

Oscar chuckled lewdly:

"Xiao Zheng, where have you been so early in the morning? We've all finished eating and you're only just getting back. Hehe, there's nothing left to eat now."

Sikong Zheng scratched his head and casually said:

"Oh, whatever, I'm just heading back to my dorm to rest. Where are you guys going?"

Ma Hongjun also looked puzzled and said:

"The Dean wants to see the two of us, but we don't know why," he said, shaking his head.

"Alright, alright, you guys go ahead with your work! I'm going back to my dorm first," Sikong Zheng said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

Nighttime, Soto City, Great Arena.

"Ahem, arrange a one-on-one Soul Battle for me," Sikong Zheng said, handing over the badge with one hand in his pocket.

The staff member took the badge, glanced at it, and said coldly:

"Eleventh Arena, please prepare."

On the battle stage, a middle-aged man dressed in a black suit stood in the center:

"Next, we will begin the second round of our 11-on-1 Soul Battle in the Eleventh Soul Arena. The two Soul Masters will be facing off: Li Yue, the Battle Soul Master with the weapon spirit Moon Soul Bow, and Qiu Ni Kou Si Wo, the Battle Soul Master with the weapon spirit Divine Tree. What sparks will fly in this battle between these two weapon spirit masters? Let's wait and see."

....................................

The victory in this battle was a foregone conclusion. When the female Soul Master used her third Soul Skill but still couldn't break through Sikong Zheng's wooden barrier, the outcome was already predetermined.

Sikong Zheng easily captured it by simply using the Great Forest Technique, draining its soul power and causing it to faint.

It must be said that this archer-wielding Soul Master possesses powerful attack capabilities and a Soul Skill with tracking abilities, making her well-suited for the battlefield.

Unfortunately, he encountered Sikong Zheng. Similar to agility-based Soul Masters, who are suited for stealth and ambushes, this one is better suited for long-range combat. Both of these advantages are limited by the Soul Arena, making it difficult for him to maximize his strengths.

If Sikong Zheng hadn't held back to test the soul skill, he probably wouldn't have lasted even two rounds. He was definitely a tool, while Sikong Zheng achieved two consecutive victories in one-on-one combat.

"The 'Please Kill Me' duo won the 2-on-2 Soul Battle, and they also achieved a two-game winning streak."

As the host announced the news, the audience in the stands cheered in astonishment. How could anyone not be surprised that one person could win against two others?

On the second day, Sikong Zheng participated in a one-on-one match and, unsurprisingly, won. Hands in his pockets, he arrogantly left the stage to go to the two-on-two match. The room was packed, and he defeated two opponents, winning again. Both matches resulted in three consecutive victories. Shrek, at night, on the rooftop, the wood had already spread to the back of his arm. In his excitement, small saplings sprouted from his arm. Speechless, he went downstairs to rest…

Three days later, in Soto City, at the Grand Arena, a one-on-one duel, victory, composure. Two against two, the audience cheers, another cheer, arms crossed, he leaves the stage, an air of invincibility on his face. Shrek Academy, on the rooftop, his face hardens to the left, unperturbed, he goes downstairs, and goes to sleep…
