Xu Xiaoyan's Training Results
"Attention! There are 182 people remaining. The map is starting to shrink and will shrink by 30% within 20 minutes."
Soon, a clear broadcast echoed throughout the virtual map, while a blue, semi-transparent film appeared at the boundary area and began to compress inward.
Xie Xie and Tang Wulin, who were lying in ambush on the outermost edge, were forced to move towards the inner perimeter.
On the other side, in the city center, Long Yue was covered in blood, panting heavily, his body covered in countless claw marks and dripping with blood.
He was standing on the lifeless, thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. He had won, but it was a brutal victory.
In a battle between humans and Soul Beasts, the Soul Beasts are definitely stronger physically, and Soul Beast resilience is second only to that of super beasts.
Especially the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, a race of honey badger-like creatures, takes life and death lightly and fights anyone who disagrees. Apart from true dragons, Golden-Haired Lion Mastiffs, Dark Demon Evil God Tigers, Auspicious Beasts, they have never been afraid of anything else.
In Xiong Jun's words, "Our Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan has no cowards. Besides, the Spirit Transferring Douluo unified the Douluo Continent back then by means of his fists."
You don't actually think that Spirit Transferring back then relied solely on talking, do you? You're sorely mistaken.
Back when the Spirit Transferring Douluo was sixteen and Soul Saint, he took Snow Empress Ice Empress to explore the Star Dou Great Forest, and later even fought with Xiong Jun.
Although Xiong Jun defeated Spirit Transferring did not lose either. Later, when they unified Douluo Continent, Spirit Transferring beheaded them and grabbed the core members of the noble families by the neck, asking them whether they would submit.
Those who refuse to submit will be strangled and their entire families executed. Those who submit will be branded with a mental mark, and anyone who dares to resist will die!
Otherwise, why is the Douluo Continent so peaceful? It's all thanks to his fists, which are stained with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The Records of the Grand Historian only mentions the unification of the Douluo Continent by the Spirit Transferring Douluo, but it is unknown about the bloody history of the massacre of tens of thousands of nobles in that week. This is a unique phenomenon: the greater the event, the less it is described.
Otherwise, how could the Xiong Jun have brought the entire Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan to submit? To put it bluntly, ten thousand years ago, might made right.
Back then, after being besieged by a hundred Clones possessing ninety percent of his own strength, Di Tian became obedient.
Now, although Long Yue has single-handedly killed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with over eight thousand years of cultivation, he is not in good condition, and his Mountain Dragon Martial Soul almost went out of control.
He urgently needs a place to rest and recuperate, and he must find a healing-type Martial Soul Master to help him heal, otherwise he will probably be eliminated.
As he retreated quickly, those who had been watching him followed closely behind. Long Yue was too strong; they would absolutely not give him a chance to respond.
Meanwhile, Wu Bingyu got entangled with a Man Faced Demon Spider with ten thousand years of cultivation. The thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the ten-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider are both overlord Soul Beasts set up in the virtual assessment, specifically to increase the difficulty of the selection.
Fourth Soul Skill: Asura Eight Slays!
Wu Bingyu's fourth Soul Ring shone, and three incredibly strong arms immediately floated behind her, each hand holding a blood-red greatsword.
This is her Fourth Soul Skill, summoning three pairs of hands to fight alongside her. Adding her own hands, that makes four pairs of hands.
Judging from Wu Bingyu's appearance, she's a natural-born writer, Tentacle Monster indeed.
Numerous Asura hands wielding blood-red greatswords hovered a meter around Wu Bingyu, the blood-red greatswords slamming heavily onto the human-faced spider.
The battle between the two sides was fierce, but it was clear that Wu Bingyu was suppressing the Man Faced Demon Spider. Although the Man Faced Demon Spider had four pairs of spider legs, it needed to keep two pairs for walking.
The inherently evil two-legged beast actually managed to suppress her with its multiple hands. The two exchanged countless blows, and just as Wu Bingyu was about to forcefully kill the Man Faced Demon Spider, numerous ancient runes appeared on the Man Faced Demon Spider's body.
Wu Bingyu was immediately shaken, recalling what they had experienced at the Turbulent Period Spirit Ascension Platform.
The next second, the Man Faced Demon Spider roared, and its incomparably powerful aura spread out, directly blasting Wu Bingyu away.
The Man Faced Demon Spider, who originally possessed ten thousand years of cultivation and was capable of Battle Soul Emperor level experts, activated Spider God Possession, and its aura directly rose to the Soul Saint level.
This is the ultimate, desperate technique of the Spider Clan. Once activated, it greatly enhances all attributes, making it countless times more powerful than Berserk or similar abilities.
Similarly, the cost is enormous; activating the Spider God Possession will burn one's cultivation and leave one in a period of weakness.
Seeing the Man Faced Demon Spider's aura surging, Wu Bingyu's face turned pale. For some reason, she felt as if she had a grudge against the Blue Silver Grass and the spider.
I feel like I have some kind of karmic ties with these two awful things; I just really dislike them.
Seeing the Man Faced Demon Spider, now possessed by the Spider God Possession, charging towards her, Wu Bingyu turned and ran, showing no intention of fighting back.
The overlords in the virtual map are not actually meant for everyone to challenge and kill. These overlords, such as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and this Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Man Faced Demon Spider, are used to compress the students' living space.
What I never expected was that so many oddballs would appear this year, directly knocking out the reigning champion.
Just as Wu Bingyu was about to be killed by the spider legs of the Man Faced Demon Spider, a dazzling starlight appeared, transforming into numerous chains that bound her.
Wu Bingyu had just escaped death. Turning around, she saw a figure holding the Frost Staff of Myriad Stars appear, which was Xu Xiaoyan, followed by a dark shadow.
Roar!
With a roar that shook the mountains and forests, the dark figure transformed into a gigantic, Hell White Tiger, enveloped in a dark purple protective shield, and slammed the bound Man Faced Demon Spider back several meters.
"Xu Xiaoyan! Duoduo!"
Seeing someone come to her rescue, Wu Bingyu felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders. Xu Xiaoyan, meanwhile, brandished her dazzling staff, revealing her cultivation level—level fifty-three!
At the same time, the Soul Ring Configuration was revealed, a mixture of purple, purple, and black. Xu Xiaoyan is now completely different from before. Not only has she fused with the body bone of the Ferocious Beast- level Aromatic Silk Beauty, but she has also obtained its Soul Spirit. Although most of its energy is sealed, it is still extremely powerful.
Fifth Soul Skill: Frost Moon Domain!
Xu Xiaoyan's staff instantly changed form, transforming into a frost staff mode. The surrounding light dimmed, leaving only moonlight shining on the Man Faced Demon Spider.
The staff in her hand instantly transformed into a deep blue ice crystal longsword, and the moonlight locked onto the Man Faced Demon Spider, leaving it nowhere to escape.
Holding an ice crystal longsword, Xu Xiaoyan's figure seemed to overlap with that of the Snow Empress, like the absolute ruler of the Far North, controlling all ice and snow.
Then, the figure wielding the ice sword leaped into the air, his form merging with the moonlight. The bright full moon shone brilliantly, and the ice crystal sword was coated with its dazzling moonlight. At the same time, he chanted:
Let this moonlight Illuminating Ten Thousand Rivers!
