The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 165 Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique

At this moment, the 80,000 spectators in the Heavenly Battle Arena, along with the participating students, referees, and VIPs, were all subjected to an unprecedented shock.

"One, two, three, four, five, that's definitely five spirit rings, but I don't quite understand them," a spectator said, counting them off with his fingers.

"The second spirit ring is a thousand years old? How is that possible!" Some viewers stared blankly at the spirit ring under Li Xun's feet.

A nearby spectator overheard the whispers around him and murmured, "What's so special about that thousand-year spirit ring? Shouldn't you be surprised by his fourth and fifth spirit rings? Those are ten-thousand-year spirit rings."

"Wow! He's already a level 50 Soul King at such a young age, with one yellow, two purple, and two black Soul Kings! What are we even competing with?"

Meanwhile, the other contestants were in no better shape, all sticking their heads out of the lounge passageway, eagerly observing the situation in the venue.

"I don't believe you, let me see!"

The contestants behind kept tugging at the people in front, trying to confirm whether it was true or not.

"Holy crap, it really is! But why did he go on stage alone? He's so confident, why didn't his teammates help him out?" one of the contestants said incredulously.

"Isn't this good? If he fails, won't we have a chance soon?"

"What chance do you have? This is a points-based tournament, not an elimination round."

"Hiss~ This kid cultivates so fast?" Although he had heard about Li Xun's strength, seeing it with his own eyes was still different. Flander pushed up his glasses and suddenly felt that things were getting a little tricky.

He originally thought that with the talents of these little monsters from Shrek Academy, they would be able to sweep through the Soul Master Competition, but seeing Li Xun's confident demeanor, it was clear that he was confident in his ability to take on seven opponents at once.

Oh no, some sellers have already ruined Shrek's game.

"Brother Flander, I admit that Li Xun is even more talented and monstrous; even I am amazed by him." Liu Erlong was startled, then comforted Flander, "But this is a team match; he alone cannot defeat Shrek Academy."

Liu Erlong wanted to comfort Flander, but noticed that Yu Xiaogang's condition was clearly not right. She quickly went to his side, grabbed his arm, and asked, "Xiaogang, Xiaogang, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at Li Xun in the arena. His thoughts drifted far away, recalling that day when Li Xun and he discussed the theory of Soul Masters.

His ears were ringing, and he didn't notice that Liu Erlong had come to his side despite Yu Yuanzhen's warning.

Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at the spirit ring beneath Li Xun's feet, muttering, "Was my theory really wrong? How could he break through theories that the spirit master world has developed over thousands of years?"

The day he was trapped by Li Xun and Ning Rongrong's spirit fusion skill, he didn't even see the other party's spirit configuration. He only learned from Tailong that Li Xun had advanced to level 50 spirit king, and that his fourth spirit ring was a ten-thousand-year type.

Although Yu Xiaogang didn't think Tailong would lie to him, he still had his doubts. But when all of this was actually presented to him, he began to doubt himself.

"This is impossible, this shouldn't be happening. If someone can break these limits, what am I to them?"

Yu Xiaogang stood up like a walking corpse, feeling a slight obstruction in his body. He pulled his sleeve and withdrew his hand from Liu Erlong's.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it. By the way, Li Xun's first two spirit rings didn't have any active skills. The methods he could use were definitely very weak in the early stages compared to ordinary spirit masters."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes gradually brightened as he stared intently at the arena: "And now is the best opportunity for Xiao San and his team to defeat Li Xun."

"Li Xun, my theory has been tested by the Soul Master world for thousands of years and it is not wrong. You are just an anomaly in this world. Soul Masters will ultimately be dominated by people like us. Your failure today is due to two reasons: first, your arrogance, and second, your choice of Soul Rings."

Compared to the audience, contestants, and masters, Qian Renxue in the VIP seats wasn't much better off. At this moment, she stared intently at the five spirit rings at Li Xun's feet, her heart skipping a beat.

Qian Renxue never expected that she would unintentionally subdue such a genius. If Li Xun grows up, he will surely make a great contribution to the Spirit Hall.

At this moment, she was completely overwhelmed with a sense of surprise. More importantly, Li Xun was not just a simple-minded man; he could also help her with some things. He was exactly the kind of subordinate she had always dreamed of.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was also quite surprised. As a Title Douluo, he knew far more than the average Soul Master.

Others might only see Li Xun's talent and strength when they see his current abilities, but he sees the birth of a Super Douluo.

Most people today only know the concept of Title Douluo and think that this level is the ceiling of the Soul Master world, but few people know that Title Douluo is actually the beginning of everything.

Compared to subsequent promotions, being a Title Douluo is merely a basic threshold for becoming one of the top experts on the continent.

Only those whose soul power reaches level 95 can be said to have a true place on the continent; this is the true watershed for a strong person. Moreover, there are levels 96 through 99 after that, each level representing a new world.

He and Lao Gui are a case in point.

Although he and Ghost Douluo were both level 95 powerhouses who had reached the threshold of Super Douluo, in terms of combat strength alone, there were actually many people in the Spirit Hall who could defeat them. This was the difference brought about by spirit power above level 95.

The reason why the two of them hold a high position in the Spirit Hall is entirely because they possess a Spirit Fusion Technique. With the enhancement of this technique, even some Super Douluo with higher cultivation levels than them would not be their match.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's gaze was fixed on Li Xun. Becoming a Super Douluo requires more than just talent; it also depends on accumulation. If one is stronger than others in every realm, their rank in the title will rise steadily in the future.

Ning Fengzhi listened to the roar of the 80,000 spectators in the arena, glanced at the shocked expressions of Qian Renxue and Ju Douluo, smiled, picked up his teacup, and took an elegant sip.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Well, even if Xiaoxun loses now, it's not a loss for her.

"Holy crap! He actually became a Soul King!" Ma Hongjun's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open.

Hearing about something is different from seeing it with your own eyes. Although the Shrek Academy members had expected it, they were still shocked when they saw Li Xun's spirit rings with their own eyes.

Dai Mubai was startled when he saw the spirit ring at Li Xun's feet, but when he looked at the scars on his fingers that had not faded and thought about his current physical condition, his eyes gradually turned crazed.

Li Xun's growth is too fast. If he can't defeat him today, he may never have another chance.

Besides, he had already lost the joy of being a man, and he would die at the age of twenty-five in a few years anyway, so he might as well take a gamble with this body.

Yu Tianheng was also startled, and then a deep jealousy arose in his heart. He did not expect that Li Xun would grow up faster than them.

However, having experienced failure before, and especially with so many teammates around him, he quickly recovered: "Don't panic, everyone. Don't be fooled by Li Xun's current level 50 Soul Master status. Don't forget that his first two Soul Rings were passive skills. He actually only has three skills available right now."

Upon hearing this, Tang San immediately snapped out of his surprise and quickly said, "That's right. Besides, haven't we already seen his third soul skill? We outnumber him, so let's split up and attack, and see what skills he can use to defend himself."

Ye Lingling glanced at Li Xun with a complicated expression, then, like the others, distanced herself, forming a semi-circle facing Li Xun.

"You're right, I do have a few soul skills, but that doesn't mean I have few people!" Li Xun smiled as he looked at the group's tense expressions and slowly clasped his hands together: "Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique."

As he finished speaking, five brown wooden statues identical to Li Xun's slowly emerged from behind him.

Tang San and the other Shrek Academy members were startled by this strange sight, but before they could react, the five wooden sculptures behind Li Xun had already fallen to the ground. In the blink of an eye, these wooden sculptures became identical to Li Xun's real body.
