Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

"Were you all in such a miserable state before?" Zhao Xuanzhen asked Gu Yue curiously.

“It’s not that bad…” Gu Yue said, squinting. “Maybe Teacher Wu became stricter with them after I dropped out of school and went into seclusion.”

A few minutes later, Shen Yi and Wu Changkong returned. The latter said coldly, "The rules for the practical training are as follows: we will not suppress our cultivation and will use all seven soul skills, including the Martial Soul True Body. We will be in groups of three, and the three class leaders will set an example first."

The first group, consisting of Zhao Xuanzhen, Gu Yue, and Ye Xinglan, chose their opponents and discussed tactics.

Five minutes left in the countdown, begin the battle.

Chapter 68 Xuan Yuexing VS Tian Bingwu Changkong, Another reason why Queen Guyue conquered Xuanzhen's little brother (4K)

Practical course, with a five-minute Q&A session.

Xuan Yue and the stars formed a circle, while Gu Yue gave them an inquiring look: "Xuan Zhen, who should we challenge?"

"Dance teacher."

Zhao Xuanzhen's answer was straightforward, and Ye Xinglan nodded slightly in agreement. Shen Yi was the homeroom teacher of Shrek Class Zero. Over the past three years, they had conducted countless practical training exercises and were too familiar with each other to find anything new.

Wu Changkong is a returning veteran player, and his combat power is clearly superior to Shen Yi's. Zhao Xuanzhen and Ye Xinglan are very interested in challenging this teacher Wu.

Seeing that the two were clear about their attitude, Gu Yue quickly gave a brief account of Wu Changkong's soul skills and martial soul characteristics from his memory. After the three of them formulated their tactics, they stepped onto the sparring arena and loudly announced their challengers.

A white light slowly rose, forming an eggshell-like transparent light shield that enveloped the entire sparring arena.

Xuan Yuexing set up a basic triangular formation. Five minutes wasn't enough time to devise a sophisticated tactic, so they could only make brief arrangements. Zhao Xuanzhen would tank the frontal attacks, Gu Yue would provide ranged support, and Ye Xinglan would wait for an opportunity to strike.

Wu Changkong stood quietly fifty meters in front of the three, his white robes fluttering in the breeze, exuding an air of nonchalance. The 101 freshmen below held their breath, their eyes glued to the battlefield, unwilling to miss a single detail of the battle between the three class leaders and their homeroom teacher.

"start!"

With a low shout from Shen Yi, the practical training course officially began!

"Om-"

The four of them released their martial souls and soul rings at the same time. Wu Changkong was true to his word and showed no intention of being modest or hiding his abilities. He held a light blue longsword in his right hand.

The sword's edge shone like autumn water, its rainbow like a bolt of silk. The moisture in the air seemed to freeze upon the appearance of this longsword, and seven great soul rings—yellow, purple, black, and dark—swirled around its blade.

Heavenly Frost Sword!

White robes and blue sword, the sky is icy and snowy!

The ice-attribute soul power attached to the Frost Sword spread out, and the space inside seemed to have entered a deep winter, with the low temperature impacting everything around. Xuan Yuexing remained calm, and the cold did not affect their mentality.

Black, black, black, gold! Four terrifyingly powerful spirit rings appeared, the third spirit ring shone brightly, his long hair turned as white as snow, and Zhao Xuanzhen's tall and slender body became crystal clear.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light erupted, and an aura as deep and impenetrable as a prison formed a pillar of light that shot into the sky. The magnificent golden armor covered his body, making Zhao Xuanzhen look like a war god cast in gold!

The third soul skill, the Way of Limitless, is superimposed on the second golden awakening of the main body's martial soul!

"too horrible!"

The freshmen were stunned. Although most of them had seen the exhibition match recording of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament, witnessing the Golden Awakening in person was a completely different experience. The majestic and awe-inspiring aura struck their hearts!

"Is this the true power of Zhao Xuanzhen, the top of the list of young geniuses, the number one monster in this world, the Tai Chi master...?"

"Most Soul Emperors wouldn't be a match for the class monitor, would they..."

Shocked, the students marveled at Zhao Xuanzhen's strength. Among them, a pair of beautiful eyes gazed intently at the golden figure, who was none other than Youming Wusiduo, a strong contender for the third strongest fighter in the class.

Yesterday, in the virtual space of the martial arts arena, the class officer battle was Wu Siduo's bottom line was to make Zhao Xuanzhen use his Golden Awakening, but in the end, she couldn't even force him to use his fourth soul skill with his golden soul ring.

Faced with Zhao Xuanzhen's attack, the Netherworld White Tiger was as fragile as a kitten. The girl was utterly defeated and lay in bed for most of the day after returning to her dormitory, unable to enter a meditative state that night.

With my eyes closed, that phrase, "You've worked very hard," keeps playing on repeat in my mind.

Wu Siduo clenched her fists. Sooner or later, she would prove to Zhao Xuanzhen that the Netherworld White Tiger was not Hakimi!

On the arena, Zhao Xuanzhen, having unleashed his power, transformed into a golden streak of light and instantly rushed to Wu Changkong's side. His fourth soul skill, Tai Chi Domain, suddenly unfolded, with black and white vortexes rising and expanding outward, staining the ground with a huge Tai Chi diagram.

The bricks and stones crumbled and floated under the pull of the domain, and the broken stones rotated with the array diagram. The frost mist of the Heavenly Frost Sword was also torn apart by the power of Yin and Yang. The decomposition ability of the Tai Chi domain took effect. Everything entered Tai Chi, and all things returned to Yin and Yang!

As his clothes fluttered, a dark gold light climbed up his arms, and Zhao Xuanzhen extended dark gold blades from his ten fingers, the sharp edges of which cut fine black cracks in the air.

There is a piece of advice in the world of Soul Masters that is regarded as truth: the combat power of a monstrous Soul Master cannot be measured by Soul Power Level. The Dark Gold Terror Claw, amplified by the three major skills, is enough to tear apart those Soul Emperors who are not good at defense in one strike!

Wu Changkong's expression was indifferent, seemingly without much emotional change. However, only Shen Yi, who knew him well, knew that his senior brother had entered a state of complete focus, ignoring everything else, and regarded Zhao Xuanzhen as a highly dangerous combat target!

The first soul skill of the Heavenly Frost Sword, Frost Mark, was unleashed, sending out delicate frost sword marks that wrapped around the Dark Gold Terror Claw. Crackling sounds rang out one after another as the low temperature of the frost marks struck, causing the claw blades to freeze.

"Chong-"

A dark golden light shone, and with an extremely sharp aura, the frost instantly shattered into ice crystal fragments. Thousands of ice fragments drifted and reflected the golden sunlight pouring down from the sky.

External soul bones can grow along with their host. After three years of fusion with Zhao Xuanzhen, the left and right palm bones of the Dark Gold Terror Claw were nourished and nurtured by their master, gradually evolving from a thousand-year soul bone to a ten-thousand-year soul bone.

If the Dark Gold Terrorclaw, a ten-thousand-year-old level creature, were so easy to deal with, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear wouldn't be considered one of the most powerful soul beast races. The frost marks of the Heavenly Frost Sword couldn't suppress the sharpness of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw!

The dark gold claws shot out, and the Heavenly Frost Sword parried upwards. The collision of the top-tier soul bone and the top-tier martial soul produced a sound that pierced the eardrums, and dazzling sparks flew everywhere. The two stared at each other across the claws and swords. Suddenly, Wu Changkong used the force to retreat and made a virtual slash in the air. A deep blue sword beam more than ten meters long appeared out of the sky.

Third Soul Skill, Heavenly Frost Slash!

A black and white vortex enveloped Zhao Xuanzhen, and the Heavenly Frost Slash spun rapidly along the vortex. Wu Changkong's pupils contracted slightly, finally revealing an expression beyond his usual indifference, surprised that the Heavenly Frost Slash hadn't broken through the limits of Yin-Yang Reversal!

At the center of the Yin-Yang reversal airflow, Zhao Xuanzhen's bones crackled and popped. His body's secret technique, Battle Bone, constantly adjusted the structure of his bones. This Heavenly Frost Slash brought a mountain-like pressure. You must know that Wu Changkong is also a top-level Soul Saint. Even Soul Masters of the same level cannot withstand more than a few moves from him!

The flow of Yin and Yang energies in the Tai Chi domain stabilized the vortex of Yin and Yang reversal. Zhao Xuanzhen locked onto Wu Changkong and launched a counterattack with the Cloud Hands posture, using the opponent's own methods against them. Yin and Yang energies surged into the Heavenly Frost Slash, and the sword energy that froze everything rushed back to Wu Changkong!

Nine fireballs traced unpredictable arcs. Gu Yue seized the opportunity; crimson light swirled at the tip of her Elemental Staff. The fireballs appeared as blazing as the sun, but their cores shimmered with an icy blue glow. They exploded simultaneously as they approached Wu Changkong. Ice crystal thorns emerged like venomous snakes from their cocoons, and the chilling tide and raging flames intertwined to form red and blue lotus flowers!

The Star God Sword Chant resounded simultaneously. The moment the battle began, Ye Xinglan closed his eyes to gather his strength and prepare the Star God Sword Intent.

As fellow sword-wielding soul masters, Wu Changkong's understanding of swordsmanship far surpasses that of a thirteen-year-old girl. Ye Xinglan understands that she cannot engage in close combat with Wu Changkong like Zhao Xuanzhen. What she should do is gather the power within her body and unleash a powerful strike!

The Star God Sword flowed with the fierce light of the Milky Way. With Ye Xinglan's body as the center, starlight fell like rain. As the sword intent rose, a layer of starlight and shadow condensed on the sword's edge.

When she opened her eyes, her azure pupils resembled a galaxy of stars. Her first soul skill, Sword God Star, and her third soul skill, Sword Starfall, complemented each other, and the accumulated sword intent transformed into a star god sword aura that cleaved through heaven and earth!

Yin Yang Reversal, Lotus of Ice and Fire, and Star God Sword Qi—three great soul skills descended upon Wu Changkong from three directions. Even the strict Wu Changkong couldn't help but nod slightly; Xuan Yuexing's combat talent was truly astonishing!

"boom--"

Boundless cold air spread, and the ten-thousand-year soul rings at the end of Wu Changkong's formation shone brightly. His seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Form, erupted, and the Heavenly Frost Sword suddenly swelled into a giant ice sword, covered with mysterious ice crystal patterns.

Wu Changkong's aura became exceptionally sharp and chilling. With a simple horizontal slash of the Heavenly Frost Sword, the three soul skills shattered without any resistance. The remaining power of the Heavenly Frost Sword continued to slash towards Zhao Xuanzhen, the most threatening one!

With a flash of silver light, the Heavenly Frost Sword Qi missed its target, and Zhao Xuanzhen suddenly disappeared, reappearing beside Gu Yue.

Watching the battle, Luo Guixing rubbed his eyes, looking utterly bewildered. The divine spatial transfer technique, a divine skill of spatial elements, had become a minor skill in Gu Yue's hands?!

What kind of insane mechanism is this?!

Zhao Xuanzhen, Gu Yue, and Ye Xinglan exchanged glances, their eyes narrowing. The Martial Soul True Body was a soul skill that elevated all of a soul master's attributes, and Wu Changkong had undoubtedly exceeded their limits, making their chances of victory extremely slim.

Despite being at a disadvantage in the battle, none of the three had any intention of giving up. Bagua runes appeared in the Taiji Domain, and the flames of the Li character surged like a raging sea. Wu Changkong's Frost Sword trembled slightly, and the frost marks spread as if to shatter the sea of ​​fire, but suddenly froze when it came into contact with the flames. The fire of the Li trigram shone brightly with a red light, and the fire burned wildly against the frost!

"The character 'Kan' signifies ice!"

A chilling aura surged and clung to the Heavenly Frost Sword. Wu Changkong felt his sword momentum falter, the Heavenly Frost Sword seemingly trapped in quagmire. The eternally unyielding icy face transformed once more, this time with unparalleled shock! Zhao Xuanzhen had actually managed to manipulate the elemental counters, using fire to fuel the ice, even causing the ice to backfire on the Heavenly Frost Sword!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gu Yue wielded the Elemental Staff, unleashing all his soul power. The earth veins bulged, light and darkness intertwined, and wind and fire intensified. All the elemental power transformed the Elemental Staff into a silver spear, with seven points of light faintly visible at its tip. It was clearly an Elemental Spear that fused the seven major attributes!

The four directions of Bagua Qimen Dunjia—Kun, Kan, Xun, and Li—blossomed in succession, while the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire formed four pillars of light, surging wildly toward the elemental spear!

Sensing the surging energy within the Spear of Elements, Gu Yue's dark eyes shone with a strange light. The Eight Trigrams and the Mysterious Gate could not only suppress elements, but also mobilize the elements of heaven and earth to amplify them!

Very well, she now has another reason to conquer Zhao Xuanzhen!

The elemental spear was launched into the air, its terrifying power causing the soul-guiding protective shield to groan. Every student watching could clearly feel the destructive soul power emanating from the elemental spear.

At the same time, the Star God Sword shone brightly. Ye Xinglan gritted his teeth, held the sword with both hands, and unleashed streaks of sword light that swept across the sky like meteors, carrying the vast power of the stars, and swept towards Wu Changkong.

Wu Changkong sighed softly, and clusters of white light appeared on his body, including his chest, waist, limbs and other parts. Starting from these clusters of light, rays of light spread out and converged into exquisite silver frost patterns.

The water vapor suspended in the air condensed into ice crystals and fell down. A wisp of icy light shot out from between Wu Changkong's eyebrows. Frost patterns formed a silver armor, which flowed with a shimmering cold light. Deep blue freezing air seeped out from the gaps in the armor, and three-inch ice crystals crawled all over the ground of the sparring arena.

The seven spirit rings that originally surrounded him merged with the armor, and Wu Changkong's aura soared. In his hand, he held a sword blade that was even larger than the true form of the Heavenly Frost Sword.

Two-word battle armor, Heavenly Ice!

With just the tip of the sword pointing forward, snowflakes began to fall from the clear sky. The Heavenly Frost Sword, the Elemental Spear, and the Star God Sword Qi collided, unleashing a deafening roar, and intense light illuminated the training ground.

As the light faded, Wu Changkong stood with his sword, aloof and untouched by the world. Opposite him, Zhao Xuanzhen stood in front of Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan, the Tai Chi diagram slowly rotating, dark gold claws crossing, and his golden armor riddled with cracks.

Gu Yue gazed at Zhao Xuanzhen's retreating figure, her rosy lips curving upwards in a slightly ambitious smile. The Star God Sword on the other side dimmed, yet stubbornly emitted a faint glow, just like its master.

"You are all very outstanding."

Wu Changkong removed his Heavenly Ice Battle Armor, and his icy eyes gave Zhao Xuanzhen a focused look. In fact, he didn't need the battle armor; doing so was a way of acknowledging Xuan Yuexing's excellence.

If Zhao Xuanzhen's soul power was level 59 and he also had the support of battle armor, Wu Changkong knew that he would no longer be his opponent.

Although Xuan Yuexing was defeated, he was still honorable. The three of them stepped off the sparring arena and returned to their team. The faces of the students in Class 1 of Grade 1 were extremely complicated.

Zhao Xuanzhen and Gu Yue need no further explanation; the two are as outrageous as Singer Wenming. Ye Xinglan's sword strike also greatly amazed everyone.

Tang Wulin and Wu Siduo plan to challenge Ye Xinglan for the position of vice class monitor a year later. Now they are getting serious, as this swordswoman girl is not so easy to defeat.

"The second group, Wu Siduo, Luo Guixing, and Yang Nianxia, ​​have five minutes to choose their challengers and arrange their tactics."

……

"The last group: Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan."

The morning's practical training session passed quickly. The girls were exhausted and collapsed on the ground, looking like dogs. The boys were also exhausted and collapsed on the ground.

The two homeroom teachers applied the same training standards regardless of gender. Since the three class monitors set a good example, Wu Changkong and Shen Yi became even more ruthless, and the daisies in Class 1 of Grade 1 were brutally destroyed.

The Heavenly Frost Sword was held against Tang Wulin's neck, the icy chill almost tearing his skin. Tang Wulin raised his hands in surrender. Wu Changkong said coldly, "The practical lesson is over. Go back and review it carefully. The next practical lesson is the day after tomorrow. I want to see all of you improve."

More than a hundred people shouted "yes" in a scattered manner. They experienced what it meant to be taught through beatings. Except for the three members of Xuan Yuexing, the rest of them were in excruciating pain, with their whole bodies aching all over.

"get out of class dismissed. Zhao Xuanzhen, Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, and Tang Wulin, the four class committee members, come with me. You have other tasks to complete."

Chapter 69 Battle Armor Grouping, Xuan Na's Moonlit Night Squad, Divine Base Alloy and Golden Water Intermingling (4K)

The new student teaching building, the teachers' office.

Sunlight bathed the office floor in a pale gold glow, and silver-gray curtains hung at the junction of the glass windows.

Two ebony desks were placed opposite each other, their edges neatly trimmed. Two potted plants were placed at either end of a bookshelf, their palm-sized leaves full of vitality, the veins of which swayed with the diamond-shaped shadows cast by the windowpanes.

The two homeroom teachers led the class committee into the office. Wu Changkong pulled a file bag from the top shelf of the bookshelf and handed it to Zhao Xuanzhen, the class monitor of the first year, saying calmly, "The enrollment registration form records the secondary professional levels of the students in the class."

You will go to the four major vocational associations to register the first-year students. You will also have the task of discussing group assignments.

The first year's teaching objective is for students to work in groups to build mechs, laying the foundation for future battle armor production.

Shrek Academy's long-standing teaching rules dictate that class committee members automatically form teams, meaning the four of you will be in one team. The remaining members will be evenly divided into four groups based on their professions: forging, mecha design, mecha manufacturing, and mecha repair, with each group's strength being as even as possible.

Please provide me with the group assignments by 5 PM today.

After coldly and quietly issuing the task, Wu Changkong sat down in his office chair and lowered his head to read a book, showing no intention of continuing to pay attention to the four class committee members.

"Back to the classroom."

After leaving the office, Zhao Xuanzhen led the three to the freshman classroom. The practical class was over, and the other students left one after another, leaving the freshman classroom empty in the afternoon.

The four sat facing each other, looking at the neatly arranged Xuan Yuexing. Tang Wulin subconsciously touched his head, feeling that the three class leaders seemed to be in cahoots, and that he, as the forging committee member, had no say at all.

In reality, even if Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan were replaced by Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan, Zhao Xuanzhen could still act arbitrarily. After all, there were seven class committee members in total, and Zhao Xuanzhen held four of them. Even if the other three joined forces, they still couldn't shake his "rule".

Zhao Xuanzhen opened the file bag, took out the enrollment registration form, and carefully browsed through it before saying, "There are still seven blacksmiths left. The number of people in mecha design, mecha manufacturing, and mecha repair is relatively even, with all of them having more than thirty people."

"Should we divide into seven groups, with the blacksmiths at the core?" Gu Yue suggested.

"That's what I think," Zhao Xuanzhen nodded.

Tang Wulin said meaningfully, "Teacher Wu said that the strength of each group should be as even as possible, so we distributed the students fairly."

For example, Yang Nianxia is a level three blacksmith, so he can mentor classmates with slightly weaker secondary professions such as level one mecha designer and level one mecha manufacturer.

Ye Xinglan narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "I think averaging is very unfair to the outstanding ones. Strong alliances are the only way to maximize the potential of the students."

In the Kendo Girl's mind, Shrek Academy is a cradle of monsters. The strong should cooperate with each other, and the weak should be eliminated according to the rules. The so-called equal distribution is to delay the strong from becoming stronger.

"Makes sense."

Zhao Xuanzhen agreed with Ye Xinglan's words, stating that even if the geniuses were separated now, they would eventually reunite. Like the five young geniuses on the other timeline, many of them were unwilling to help their classmates and ultimately formed their own team.

Tang Wulin was immediately embarrassed. It was true that he was a level 5 blacksmith, but Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan's secondary professions were only level 1.

If Zhao Xuanzhen agrees with Ye Xinglan, wouldn't Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan be forming a weakling squad with a first-level blacksmith and a first-level mecha repairman?
