Spirit Pagoda Friendship Tournament
As the tribulation ended, several high-ranking human members of the Spirit Pagoda approached the Six-Winged Demon Tiger and inquired about its well-being.
From now on, the Spirit Pagoda will have one more Demon Tiger Elder. Now is a good time to get acquainted. After treatment, the Six-Winged Demon Tiger has fully recovered, which is quite amazing.
"Human technology is truly amazing. I was severely injured when I was undergoing my hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation."
He then transformed into human form, getting used to the ability of the Ferocious Beast to transform into a human, while the Spirit Pagoda systematically withdrew.
After the tribulation ceremony concluded, numerous rare and precious natural treasures of the lightning element grew here, many of which were Spirit Items products.
Similar to Thunderstruck Wood and Heavenly Thunder Fruit, these are finished products that can be used directly for refining. There are also some seedlings of lightning-type natural treasures that can be transplanted to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for cultivation.
Next came the problem of this scorched earth. The Spirit Pagoda dispatched many Martial Soul Masters with Blue Silver Grass spirits, as well as Soul Masters with other plant-based Martial Soul. Under their cultivation, the originally scorched floor quickly began to regain its vitality.
That's right, even if you have Trash Martial Soul, you can still be of some use. As long as you work hard and strive for improvement, there are countless positions waiting for you under the Spirit Pagoda.
Tang Wulin naturally saw many Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters like himself working hard. They had no Soul Power, so they could only plant Blue Silver Grass to improve the environment.
Looking at it this way, he realized that he seemed to be very lucky, not only did he have level three Soul Power, but he also had Xie Xie, whom he liked, by his side.
Now that the ceremony of the Soul Beasts undergoing their tribulations has ended, the next step is the selection competition for Class Zero, which is also an opportunity for many core disciples to showcase themselves and improve their strength.
For example, Xu Xiaoyan is Purple-Rank Core Disciple. If she performs well, she will be promoted to Black-Level Core Disciple.
Wei Xiaofeng, Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin did not become core disciples because they did not participate in the selection process during the Spirit Ascension Platform riot.
Not all members of Class Zero are core disciples; only a select few become core disciples through this selection competition and receive focused training.
The group arrived at the Spirit Pagoda Plaza. The list of Class Zero members of the academy was compiled and then reported. Di Tian would personally match opponents for them.
Matching you with an equally matched opponent...
Meanwhile, many deans of academies were eager to greet the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda, just to become acquainted with them.
For example, the dean of Monster Academy, Saint Dragon Douluo Enci, came in person, as did the dean of Sun Moon Soul Master Academy, Kong Yueguang, both of whom are super strong at level ninety-eight.
Looking at it this way, it's clear that Yu Zhen, the dean of their Eastsea Academy, is just a minor Soul Saint, which makes him seem rather out of place.
While everyone was preparing, Chen Jianshu sat in the lounge of the Eastsea Academy and opened the shop.
People say that encountering Auspicious Beast beasts brings good fortune, so it's a good time to test your luck.
He immediately clicked refresh, and a blue talent skill appeared.
Skill: [Recall]
Effect: After using the Recall, you will be teleported to your bedside after an eight-second chant. Attacks, control effects, or movement will interrupt the teleportation. There is no cooldown, and you cannot Recall across dimensions.
"What?! King of Glory is intruding... Why don't you give me a Warm Winter Home to match?"
Looking at this Recall skill, Chen Jianshu didn't know how to comment. After buying it, he refreshed the page again, and this time Purple Light flashed.
Skill: [Warm Winter Home]
Effect: Using the Recall will trigger Recall effect and increase your taunt value by 100, which can be stacked infinitely.
"Great, now I have a way to keep people here."
Seeing the Noble Phantasm that appeared in the shop for the second time, he twitched his eye. Why was it a matching set? Oh well, he'd already bought it, so he might as well play with it later.
Then he looked at the next Noble Phantasm, and a Card- shaped Noble Phantasm appeared.
[Clow Cards ]
Effect: Once mastered, the power of Magical Girl will be unlocked.
For a moment, he didn't know how to complain. Honkai Impact 3rd, Genshin Impact, Honor of Kings, Magical Girl —the elements were all too complex.
In the end, he gave up on continuing to browse the shop. There was no other reason than that he didn't dare to think about what kind of weird stuff he might get next, and also, the internal friendly selection competition within the Spirit Transferring was about to begin, and he had to go to the assembly point.
Chen Jianshu immediately stood up and walked towards the seat where Eastsea Academy was located. At the same time, the lists of all the academies were also compiled, with a total of eighty intermediate academies participating.
Di Tian personally drew lots. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Di Tian clicked on the lottery on the computer, and the eighty academies on the screen were quickly arranged.
The Evil Emperor was manipulating things behind the scenes; the first match was between the Eastsea Intermediate Soul Master Academy and the Star Luo Monster Intermediate Academy.
"Not honored!"
When he saw that the first match was between them and Monster Academy, he immediately covered his head with his hands in a classic American-style shock.
Normally, shouldn't strong teams like them meet in the finals? Why are they meeting now? Is the author using some kind of superhuman touch? Starting with a peak-level match!
The list of other participating teams has also been released. When Long Yue and Dai Yun'er from the Monster Academy saw that they were going to play against the Eastsea Academy, they were instantly excited. This time, they were determined to avenge their previous defeat!
"Monster Academy? Is it very strong?"
Xie Xie and the others were puzzled and looked at their equally matched opponents with confusion. Chen Jianshu, Wu Bingyu, and Xu Xiaoyan all fell silent.
The nine people opposite them, seven of whom were almost fourteen years old, including Long Yue, Dai Yueyan, and others, who had five Soul Ancestor and four Soul Elders.
There were eleven of them, all nine and a half years old, including five Soul Elders and the rest Soul Grandmaster.
"I'll deal with that guy who calls himself the Dragon King."
"I'll deal with the tiger. You just need to hold it off. We'll come to your aid once we've dealt with our opponent."
"Okay, got it."
Na'er volunteered, Wu Bingyu also chose her opponent, while instructing the other teammates to simply hold off the enemy.
Xie Xie and the others, unaware of the gravity of the situation, nodded in agreement. Xu Xiaoyan, however, deflated instantly upon seeing the intimidating aura emanating from the other side. She couldn't help but think: Should we call the ancestor?
Suddenly, an idea popped into her head: take out the 90,000-year-old Starry Sky Beast from its Spirit Ball and give it a try; it should be able to win. However, this idea was unrealistic.
If the other side pulled out a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast ancestor, that would be a disaster. Wu Bingyu turned her attention to Chen Jianshu.
"A Shu, you're the key player in this game. We're counting on you to carry us."
Knowing the opponent's strength, she was still very confident, and Chen Jianshu nodded slightly.
Leave it to me!
Soon, both sides sent their captains to draw lots to determine the format of the match. Long Yue glanced at the representative sent by the other side and said in an icy tone:
"It's you? Where's Tang Wulin?"
Upon hearing this greeting, Wu Bingyu was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized that it was the pseudonym Chen Jianshu had given earlier.
"You asked him right away? You seem quite concerned about him? Do you have a crush on him?"
Wu Bingyu glanced at the other party and retorted directly. She wasn't going to give a friendly look to the guy who had injured her at the Turbulent Period Spirit Ascension Platform.
Long Yue hearing this, Long Yue's cheeks visibly flushed red, just like a girl whose secret had been exposed.
"What nonsense are you spouting, you woman! I don't have that kind of fetish!"
He glared at the other person in annoyance; that one sentence almost made him furious. Wu Bingyu didn't care and directly clicked on the draw. Soon, the draw results for both sides came out: team battle and 2-2-3 Battle Method.
With the draw results in hand, the two returned to their respective teams. This team battle was assigned based on the team with the fewest members.
It can be five people, seven people, nine people, or even everyone in the team working together.
After some discussion, Monster Academy decided to send nine students up together, mainly to avenge their beloved pet Dai Yun'er. Once the nine students were on stage, Long Yue looked at the referee and said:
"Referee, let all eleven students from the Eastsea Academy come at me together. Don't say I'm bullying them."
Hearing this, Xie Xie and the others raised their eyebrows slightly. So arrogant? But now they don't have to worry about who should play.
When Chen Jianshu and eleven others took the stage, the other students from the academies were stunned to see that the average age of the students from the Eastsea Academy was less than ten.
"Huh? Why are all the kids at the Eastsea Academy under ten years old?"
"Monster Academy only has two kids their age; they're probably going to lose."
Just as everyone was discussing this, Long Yue pointed at Chen Jianshu and shouted:
"Tang Wulin! If you're a man, fight me one-on-one!"
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked at the real Tang Wulin, Tang Wulin was completely dumbfounded. "Wait, what do you want? Do I know you?"
"You've mistaken me for someone else! My name isn't Tang Wulin, I'm Tang Yin, and I don't change my name!"
Chen Jianshu stood with his hands on his hips, spouting nonsense with a straight face. The people from the Eastsea Academy immediately understood, while Long Yue was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had been tricked.
His cheeks flushed again. Because of the Mountain Dragon Martial Soul, he was prone to losing control of his emotions. In addition, he was young and impetuous, so it was normal for him to lose his temper.
"Tang Wulin! You're very good! I'll remember you!"
His face darkened; this time, he was determined to defeat his opponent head-on! Just as the two sides were on the verge of exchanging blows, Wang Dong glanced at the short-haired blue boy quietly sitting in the corner opposite him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The other person blinked, trying to meet Chen Jianshu's gaze, but found that the other person wasn't even looking at them, which made them somewhat puzzled.
On stage, Di Tian, Bi Ji, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Di Qiu'er, who knew the truth, couldn't help but chuckle. They never expected their reunion to be like this. How to put it? It was indeed quite abstract.
"Both teams, retreat to the preparation area. You have one minute to unleash your Martial Soul."
With the referee's intervention, Long Yue and the others had no choice but to retreat. After both sides retreated to the waiting area, they released their Martial Soul. The Eastsea Academy side was rather meager, with five Soul Elders and six Soul Grandmaster.
On the monster's side, there were five Soul Ancestor and four Soul Elders. This configuration immediately put Xie Xie, Wei Xiaofeng, and the others on alert. They hadn't expected the other side to have five Soul Ancestor. This battle might cause some trouble.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi held hands. Seeing this, Wei Xiaofeng felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. "Dude! This isn't the time for you two to be holding hands and being all lovey-dovey! Am I part of your 'friends' group too?"
Looking at the two holding hands, Tang Wulin seemed to be deep in thought, and then he also reached out and took Xie Xie's hand.
"What's wrong?"
Haji Xie, whose hand had been suddenly grabbed, hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation. She turned to look at the person who had grabbed her hand, asking a question. Tang Wulin, his face slightly flushed, felt a strange sensation welling up inside him, but still explained:
"Xie Xie, with you here, it's like having the strength of a hundred people. We will definitely win."
"That's right, I've never been afraid!"
Hearing this, Xie Xie didn't think much of it. He trusted his good brother completely, and even if Tang Wulin stabbed him from behind, he was confident that it was definitely not a knife.
Tang Wulin: Xie Xie, actually, what stabbed you that day wasn't a knife...
Xie Xie: I'd rather it was a knife that stabbed me.
Standing at the back, Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue, who were in charge of controlling the scene, looked at each other in bewilderment. Haji Yan narrowed his eyes, watching the two couples holding hands, and became increasingly suspicious that they were in a high-class situation.
Gu Yue looked at Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, Zhang Yangzi Wang Jinxi holding hands, her face showing an expression as if she had just eaten something strange, and she thought to herself:
"As expected, human civilization is already on the verge of collapse."
At the back of the Eastsea Academy, people were daydreaming and flirting, while at the front, several people were confronting the Monster Academy.
"The match begins!"
As the referee announced the start of the match, both sides rushed forward. Long Yue his Mountain Dragon Martial Soul and roared angrily.
"Tang Wulin! Let's fight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he charged straight at Chen Jianshu, surrounded by four purple Soul Rings, his aura fierce. However, he was blocked midway by a White Dragon Spear.
The Mountain Dragon and the silver spear collided, and with a loud bang, both sides were forced back five or six steps.
"What?! Martial Soul Suppression? How is that possible?!"
Long Yue sensed the emotions within his Martial Soul, and his strength was somewhat weakened. His pupils constricted, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He simply couldn't believe that his Mountain Dragon Martial Soul could be suppressed.
"Being the Dragon King isn't so easy! Take this shot first!"
Na'er's body was covered in silver Dragon Scales. She was in her normal state and had not yet been enhanced by the Chen Jianshu. Even so, she was confident that she could handle it.
Long Yue also turned his attention to the incomparably beautiful silver-haired girl, his eyes showing a newfound respect.
"You're quite good, qualified to be my opponent. State your name!"
"Silver Dragon, Na'er!"
She announced her name, and the phantoms of a silver Giant Dragon and a brown Giant Dragon faced off.
On the other side, Wu Bingyu, wielding a white longsword and with her long hair dyed white, unleashed a slash, her body radiating a murderous aura.
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
Dai Yueyan roared and activated his buff. He slashed down with his longsword, and the fierce attack left several sword marks on his arm, which was covered in blood. He was shocked.
"What a powerful attack!"
Then, a huge, jet-black hammer slammed down, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul appeared.
"Reversal Halo!"
Fox King Su Mu of the Monster Academy, used the Reversal Halo, a green halo that directly blocked the Clear Sky Hammer.
"You can't break my Reversal Halo." Su Mu said calmly, but Wang Dong didn't take it seriously and directly used the momentum to unleash his Chaotic Cloak.
"Let's see how many blows your turtle shell can take!"
P. S.: The first two updates will be on August 17th.
