Speed is power. The weight of these five crystal cones was already astonishing, and when combined with such terrifying speed, their power was even greater.
Boom— Amidst the deafening roar, fine cracks appeared on the carapace of the human-faced demon spider's back, and a shrill scream echoed throughout the entire Shrek Academy.
Some of the armor was even blasted into pieces, mixed with a white liquid with a strong, pungent, fishy smell, which was scattered all over the ground.
However, Xu Zihuang's offensive was not over yet.
The dimmed fourth soul ring lit up again, but this time it was no longer the Netherworld Soul Ring copied from Chu Qingtian.
A phantom silver full moon rose behind Xu Zihuang, then eerily transformed into a deep black. Only the outermost layer of silver halo remained.
Immediately afterward, a flash of black light appeared, and a beam of moonlight slid straight down from the full moon, instantly enveloping the enormous body of the human-faced demon spider. Amidst a terrifying explosion, the brilliant golden halo receded at the same time, and a huge black hole, nearly half a meter in diameter, appeared on the armor on the back of the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider.
After struggling frantically for a moment, the human-faced spider's eight legs drooped limply.
Points of black light gathered on its body, and a deep black soul ring floated up from the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider.
Kill!
From the moment the shot was taken to the moment it was finished, it didn't even take more than three seconds.
Everyone present was stunned. The scene before them was simply too horrifying.
A Soul Master directly killed a human-faced demon spider with over ten thousand years of cultivation.
Xu Zihuang was breathing heavily, and his soul power was completely depleted. He didn't even have the soul power to use his second soul skill to condense a crystal mirror to borrow strength, and his consciousness began to become blurred.
Such a full-force burst placed a tremendous burden on his body. Fortunately, he possessed a strong physique; if it were an ordinary soul master, their meridians would likely have collapsed from the inside out, unable to withstand such intense soul power circulation.
Upon arriving at the arena, Gong Changlong subconsciously used his soul power to pull Xu Zihuang's body to his side, his expression quite interesting.
He had anticipated all sorts of scenarios, but he never expected this to happen.
The students in Class 1 and Class 2 of the second year looked at Xu Zihuang as if he were a monster.
The male trainees showed more awe, while the female trainees had eyes that sparkled with a captivating charm.
Ning Tian, who arrived midway, witnessed Xu Zihuang's final kill of the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider. His aquamarine eyes were filled with tears, and his face flushed.
In the world of Soul Masters, the supremacy of strength is an unchanging law.
Dai Huabin clenched his fists tightly, and for some reason, the words Xu Zihuang had said back then suddenly came back to his mind.
Those who are defeated by me are never considered my opponents. I give you time to catch up until you can no longer see me.
When Yu Tianhuang said that, he didn't have any arrogance or domineering air; it was more like he was stating a fact.
But that's precisely why it's so hard for him to accept.
Wang Dong gritted his teeth and gripped his right wrist with his left hand. It seemed that only in this way could he gain the confidence to face Yu Tianhuang head-on.
So what if you're one step ahead of me now? I possess twin martial souls, and my future achievements will surely surpass yours.
He murmured something to himself.
I don't know if I'm just deceiving myself or trying to strengthen my resolve.
Even Ma Xiaotao, who was standing next to Yan Shaozhe, couldn't help but part her red lips slightly and exclaim in surprise.
"Teacher, how can his fourth soul skill use two different skills?! The last one he used looks like Senior Sister's soul skill?!"
Yan Shaozhe's surprise was no less than anyone else's. Then, a gentle smile reappeared on his face. He did not answer Ma Xiaotao's question, but instead took a few steps forward and said loudly.
“Yu Tianhuang got a perfect score in this upgrade assessment. Viren, you will lead the trainees to continue with the upgrade assessment.”
After speaking, Yan Shaozhe gracefully landed beside Xu Zihuang, took the unconscious Xu Zihuang from Gong Changlong's hands, and infused him with gentle, luminous soul power.
Looking at the comical expression on Gong Changlong's face, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but tease him in a great mood.
"What, Old Gong, you're not going to ask me to compensate you for this ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider, are you?"
"Pay my ass! Stop mocking me, and get lost if you have nothing else to say!" Gong Changlong said irritably.
"Oh, by the way, when the kid wakes up, remember to tell him he can come over to my place to play when he's free. The previous request doesn't count; let him make another request later."
Yan Shaozhe was not annoyed. He gestured to Ma Xiaotao on the high platform, and the two of them flew away from the Colosseum one after the other.
The assessments for Class 1 and Class 2 of Grade 2 continued, but due to the previous incident, the originally lively promotion assessment became as silent as a stagnant pool.
No wonder, how could the soul beasts that appeared during their upgrade assessments compare to that human-faced demon spider with ten thousand years of cultivation?
Ning Tian, standing on the high platform, finally calmed down after a period of turmoil, watching Ma Xiaotao, dressed in red, gradually disappear into the distance.
A woman's intuition told her that she felt a strong sense of threat.
Chapter 141 Training Ground
Amidst the misty haze, a tall and magnificent building in the center of Poseidon Island appears and disappears in the clouds. The three large characters "Poseidon Pavilion" can be faintly seen on the plaque at the top.
Yan Shaozhe stood with his head bowed. In front of him was a disheveled old man, none other than Elder Xuan.
Old Master Xuan sat cross-legged on a jagged rock at the edge of the cliff, chewing on a chicken leg while muttering incoherently.
"Killed the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider? Interesting. It seems that the little guy is stronger than I expected."
Yan Shaozhe asked with some confusion, "Elder Xuan, what puzzles me is that his foundation is far too profound. He only has a soul power of level 42, yet his total soul power is even higher than that of an average Soul King. Even when Le Xuan and Xiao Tao were Soul Kings, they didn't reach this level."
"Hmm." Elder Xuan took a swig of the mellow wine from his gourd and said leisurely.
"That's not surprising. That little guy has twin martial souls, so he should have this kind of foundation."
"Twin Martial Souls?!" Yan Shaozhe was startled, then suddenly realized.
"I see."
As the dean of the Martial Soul Department, he naturally had some understanding of twin martial souls.
The conditions for the birth of twin martial souls are very demanding. The most important point is that the two martial souls must be of very similar quality.
He had already heard Elder Xuan say that Yu Tianhuang's Golden Eye Martial Soul had completed the second awakening of the Silver-level Body Martial Soul, which was undoubtedly the top Body Martial Soul in the world.
What kind of powerful spirit could be comparable to the Golden Eyes?
When Yu Tianhuang first emerged, Yan Shaozhe learned about Yu Tianhuang's background through Du Weilun.
Realizing what had happened, he instinctively pressed for an answer.
"Elder Xuan, Yu Tianhuang's second martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex? And he comes from the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Can such a person really stay in the academy in the future?"
After a moment of silence, Elder Xuan slowly offered his advice.
"Shao Zhe, you still lack a bit of magnanimity in your personality. Back then, Elder Mu came from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and he still became the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, didn't he?"
Yan Shaozhe lowered his head in shame, knowing that Elder Xuan was right.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed over to ask Elder Xuan after Yu Tianhuang displayed such an almost abnormal level of soul power.
Elder Xuan slowly got up and didn't continue the topic.
A person's character is hard to change. He and Elder Mu have already said what needed to be said and done what needed to be done. Ultimately, how things turn out depends on Yan Shaozhe himself.
"Let's go see that little guy. If his soul skill can really suppress Xiao Tao's evil fire, then he wouldn't be a bad match."
……
A gentle breeze stirred the surface of Poseidon Lake, which was as clear as a sapphire, creating ripples. The rose-gold sunset shone upon it, refracting a magnificent and dazzling halo.
To the west of Poseidon Island is a row of wooden pavilions built along the lake. This is also where the inner disciples live.
In a room on the top floor of a three-story attic near the lake, Xu Zihuang woke up while lying on a comfortable wooden bed.
He opened his eyes and got up. The first thing he saw was an open-air balcony, with the outermost railing also made of pure wood. Beyond that was the vast Sea God Lake. Even with his eyesight, he could only make out the outline of the buildings on the opposite shore, near the Martial Soul Department.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Xu Zihuang's noble and imposing deep purple eyes, as did the shadows of two figures leaning against the balcony railing.
The two people on the balcony noticed Xu Zihuang waking up behind them, and one of them walked over with a smile.
"Tianhuang, is he awake?"
"Senior Chu?" Xu Zihuang responded in surprise upon seeing the person who had arrived.
At this moment, another person also came over.
Xu Zihuang was quite familiar with these two people; they were Chu Qingtian and Ye Liu, who had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts together a few days ago.
Chu Qingtian familiarly pulled out a chair next to him, sat back on it, and crossed his hands on the back of the chair.
"This is where the inner disciples live. Ye Liu and I live in this pavilion."
"How did you get involved with Junior Sister Xiao Tao again?" Ye Liu, who walked over a step later, chuckled, but there was no envy in his eyes, only sympathy.
"Let me give you a friendly heads-up: although Junior Sister Xiao Tao is beautiful and strong, she has quite a temper. You've met Senior Sister Wu before, but Junior Sister Xiao Tao's temper is even more volatile than Senior Sister Wu's. Together, they're known as the two active volcanoes of the Inner Courtyard."
Xu Zihuang was speechless.
Ye Liu stopped being so irreverent and, together with Chu Qingtian, recounted what had happened to Xu Zihuang.
In reality, Yan Shaozhe only asked the two of them to look after Xu Zihuang, and after Xu Zihuang woke up, to take him to familiarize himself with Poseidon Island, and then go to the training ground when it got dark.
"Now that you're awake, if you're alright, why don't you go to the cafeteria for lunch? The food in the inner courtyard is pretty good," Chu Qingtian suggested with a smile.
Xu Zihuang had only overexerted his soul power, and it had already recovered on its own.
Without any hesitation, they followed the two men straight to the dining hall for the inner disciples on Seagod Island.
The three of them were currently on the west side of Poseidon Island, while the dining hall was located near the center of the island. However, Poseidon Island itself was not very large, and in less than fifteen minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the dining hall.
Xu Zihuang had been to both the outer academy's Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department's dining halls. In comparison, the inner academy's dining hall was much smaller.
This is also because the number of inner court disciples is small. Currently, there are only about sixty people who stay on Seagod Island to cultivate for extended periods.
The number of inner court disciples dining at the same time was even smaller, only a handful.
The dining hall in this inner courtyard is completely free to the public. All the dishes are displayed in a designated area, and you can take as much as you want. However, one thing is certain: you cannot waste food.
Xu Zihuang glanced at it briefly and found that the ingredients for almost every dish were taken from at least a thousand-year-old soul beast.
He ordered a stewed tendon from a thousand-year-old horned horse, a soup made with milky white broth from a thousand-year-old deep-sea ribbonfish, and a large bowl of plump, crystal-clear white corn rice, according to his own taste. Afterwards, he found a place to sit down with Chu Qingtian and Ye Liu, and they ate and chatted.
Chu Qingtian seemed to have thought of something and took out two purple-gold cards from his soul tool.
"By the way, Tianhuang, this is your share after the last sale of materials."
"Thank you very much, Senior Chu."
Xu Zihuang readily accepted it and stored it in his soul tool. It was what he deserved, and there was no need to deliberately refuse.
