Douluo: The Rebirth of the Supreme King Dong'er

Wang Dong'er finally released her martial soul as well. The Light Goddess Butterfly spread its wings. It had been a long time since anyone had seen those gorgeous wings, and now that they suddenly reappeared, many students were once again intoxicated by their beauty.

But right afterward, the spirit rings rising from Wang Dong'er's body made everyone gasp, contributing their share to global warming on the Douluo Continent.

Yellow, purple, purple. After the freshmen assessment, some students had already learned of Wang Dong'er's spirit ring configuration through word of mouth.

But what shocked them even more now was that Wang Dong'er actually had a fourth spirit ring!

Four rings, a Soul Ancestor. Was that rare?

Actually, it was not particularly rare. But how old was Wang Dong'er? She was only a second-year student.

Most importantly, the color of her fourth spirit ring was clearly distinct from the first three. It was black as ink—a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!

Not to mention everyone else—even Huo Yuhao, who knew Wang Dong'er possessed a "Soul Spirit," was stunned.

After successfully obtaining his second martial soul in the Extreme North, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had taken him to obtain his second spirit ring. Meanwhile, Wang Dong'er had returned to the Clear Sky Sect, so Huo Yuhao did not know what had happened to her afterward.

Only now did Huo Yuhao learn that Wang Dong'er had gone to obtain her fourth spirit ring—and that it was a ten-thousand-year one at that.

This Child Is Terrifying!

On the high platform, Yan Shaozhe wanted to sigh over something, but he was so shocked that he did not know what to say for a moment.

In the end, as though inspiration had struck him, he shook his head and sighed. "This child is terrifying!"

Ma Xiaotao, wearing a red mask, stood frozen in place.

If Wang Dong'er's second spirit ring had merely been a thousand-year one, she could still have said it was no big deal.

But a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring was an entirely different matter.

When Soul Masters absorbed spirit rings over ten thousand years old, they would suffer the impact of Soul Shock. Generally speaking, before Rank 50, almost no Soul Master could withstand it.

Yet Wang Dong'er had done it.

Was she not afraid that she would fail to endure the Soul Shock?

One careless mistake, and she could become a true brain-dead idiot. No one would dare joke with their own life and future like that.

What was more, Wang Dong'er's status was extremely noble. As long as she progressed steadily, she was destined to become a top-tier Titled Douluo in the future.

Yet Wang Dong'er had done exactly that—and succeeded.

At this point, there was practically no need to continue the assessment.

A Soul Ancestor fighting a thousand-year soul beast, and a Soul Ancestor with a ten-thousand-year fourth ring at that—what was there left to fight?

But regardless of what they thought, Wang Dong'er had already stepped forward.

Seeing that Wang Dong'er wanted to fly, the referee teacher watched her altitude and said, "During the assessment, flying martial souls may not exceed a height of five meters."

Wang Dong'er had forgotten about that rule. After all, she could not remember every detail of the original story perfectly clearly. But it did not matter. She did not need to fly to deal with a mere thousand-year soul beast.

Her third spirit ring lit up, and a gigantic phantom of the Light Goddess Butterfly appeared behind Wang Dong'er.

Framed by the Light Goddess Butterfly phantom, Wang Dong'er looked even more transcendent. Her own butterfly wings were covered in a layer of golden light, after which streams of golden radiance merged into the phantom behind her, dyeing it blue-gold.

The process was not long at all; rather, it was extremely brief. Meanwhile, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear had slowly approached Wang Dong'er.

The students could not see it, but Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun on the high platform could. Although the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear was approaching Wang Dong'er slowly, there was a humanlike cunning glint in its eyes.

Clearly, this thousand-year Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear possessed combat intelligence and did not rely solely on brute strength.

However, by the time the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear noticed the fluctuations emitted by the Light Goddess Butterfly phantom behind Wang Dong'er, it had already gotten somewhat too close.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear was a soul beast highly skilled in defense. With its thousand years of cultivation, it had developed a certain degree of intelligence. Its slow movements at the beginning had been intended to deliberately lull Wang Dong'er into lowering her guard.

But when it sensed the Light Goddess Butterfly phantom behind Wang Dong'er, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear could no longer be bothered to deceive her.

It could tell that if it were struck by that Light Goddess Butterfly phantom, even with its defensive prowess, it definitely would not feel good!

Soul beasts naturally placed greater trust in their instincts. The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear immediately turned and ran, far faster than it had been before.

But it was ultimately a rather bulky type of soul beast. How could its speed compare to Wang Dong'er's soul skill? Wang Dong'er flicked her hand, and the giant Light Goddess Butterfly phantom flapped once, seeming to cross space itself as it appeared behind the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear and suddenly blossomed!

At the critical moment, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear activated its defensive ability. Its fur became as tough as cast gold and iron as it attempted to defend against Wang Dong'er's third soul skill.

But how could Wang Dong'er's third soul skill be so easy to endure?

Wang Dong'er's third soul skill was called Butterfly God Dance, and it followed the complete opposite path of her second soul skill, Butterfly God's Light.

Butterfly God's Light was an area-of-effect attack. As a long-range skill, it could lock onto enemies, but its power was relatively ordinary and lacked explosive force.

Butterfly God Dance, on the other hand, was the ultimate burst achieved by abandoning the characteristics of Butterfly God's Light.

Not to mention that Wang Dong'er's attribute was ultimate light. Though it was more suited to restraining dark attributes and Evil Soul Masters, it was still somewhat more powerful than ordinary Light Attribute attacks against other attributes.

The Light Goddess Butterfly phantom instantly split into countless tiny Light Goddess Butterflies, their wings flapping as they attached themselves to the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear.

Boom, boom, boom...

A series of explosions rang out from the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's body. With every blast, the image of a butterfly flickered in the air before vanishing, making it look as though butterflies were dancing.

A powerful teacher rushed over, attempting to pull the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear away and prevent those tiny Light Goddess Butterflies from continuing to explode on its body.

But this teacher had not expected Wang Dong'er's Butterfly God Dance to bloom directly while attached to the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear. It could not be detached at all. The skill was now nearly finished, gradually revealing the bear's horrifyingly mangled body.

Not only had its fur been blasted apart, even the muscles beneath had been torn open, exposing fragile internal organs and stark white bones.

Seeing the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's miserable state, many students shuddered and silently prayed that they would never face Wang Dong'er in the future.

Too brutal!

This was only her third soul skill. Who knew what kind of soul skill her black ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring possessed?

Many people also recalled the freshmen assessment.

They had heard that Wang Dong'er had never used her third soul skill during the freshmen assessment. Could it be that she had been afraid of blowing her opponents to death right on the stage?

Leaving aside everything else, Wang Dong'er was now a Soul Ancestor, and her soul skills would grow stronger as her cultivation increased. Under such circumstances, she could seriously injure a thousand-year Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear. Back when she had been a Soul Elder, using just her third soul skill to kill large numbers of Soul Grandmasters really did seem quite easy.

Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu had naturally witnessed Wang Dong'er's performance as well. Aside from shock, they also felt a trace of lingering fear.

Back when Dai Huabin had been restrained by Xiaoxiao's Cauldron's Shockwave, Wang Dong'er had been bombarding him with her second soul skill, Butterfly God's Light.

He did not dare imagine what would have happened if she had used Butterfly God Dance instead of her second soul skill. He likely would have died on the spot.

After all, if Wang Dong'er had released her third soul skill at the time, he would have had no way to evade the Light Goddess Butterfly phantom. He could only have used soul skills to resist the bombardment.

Of course, what made Dai Huabin feel even worse was that he had previously been smug about his Rank 36 Soul Power, believing he would be the strongest student in Shrek Academy of his year. Yet Wang Dong'er had already become a Soul Ancestor—and she was younger than him!

On the high platform, Du Weilun first looked at Yan Shaozhe. Only after seeing that Yan Shaozhe had no instructions did he step forward and announce loudly, "Second-year Class One, Wang Dong'er, challenged the highest-level thousand-year soul beast assessment."

After reading out the assessment information, Du Weilun finally announced Wang Dong'er's score.

A perfect score!

This Time, Shrek Academy Won Three Times Over!

In truth, the shock Wang Dong'er brought them went far beyond that.

According to Shrek Academy's historical records, Wang Dong'er's current age and cultivation had broken the record for the entire Douluo Continent. She could be called the youngest Soul Ancestor in history.

On the high platform, Yan Shaozhe's eyes shifted as he thought of Wang Dong'er's thorny behavior, then of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament that would be held before long.

Compared to the higher-year Outer Court Students, this year's second-years seemed to have an extraordinary number of geniuses.

The only pity was Wang Dong'er's identity and the impression she had of them from before. She might not necessarily develop a sense of identification with Shrek Academy.

But what was Shrek Academy best at?

It was making students proud to be members of Shrek Academy!

It seemed that some of the younger students should also be allowed to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy tournament.

Thinking this, Yan Shaozhe turned back toward Ma Xiaotao, who wore the red mask, and asked, "Xiaotao, how have you been feeling lately?"

Ma Xiaotao pursed her lips beneath the mask and said, "Teacher, Xu Shishi's effect is getting weaker and weaker. Ling Luochen is unwilling to help me suppress the evil fire, and the ice-attribute treasures you found are not even as effective as Xu Shishi."

Yan Shaozhe sighed inwardly.

He had verbally promised to make Ma Xiaotao stop cultivating for a year, but during the month Wang Dong'er had been on break, he had actually allowed Ma Xiaotao to try cultivating again.

Although Ma Xiaotao had accepted the promise, her desire to cultivate and grow stronger had only become more intense. Under Yan Shaozhe's tacit encouragement, she had broken her abstinence. Unfortunately, even after stopping cultivation for a period of time, she was still affected by the evil fire when she resumed cultivating.

At that moment, Ma Xiaotao suddenly thought of Wang Dong'er again.

For some reason, she always felt calm when she was around Wang Dong'er, without any of that agitation.

Her fiery temper was already influenced by the evil fire, but during the time she had spent around Wang Dong'er, that hot temper had eased somewhat.

Of course, that was provided Wang Dong'er kept her mouth shut and did not order her around.

To put it bluntly, Wang Dong'er was good in every way except for having a mouth that could anger people to death without paying for it.

Thinking of it this way, if Wang Dong'er possessed that powerful ice attribute, Ma Xiaotao might be able to accept being ordered around by her.

After everything that had happened, Ma Xiaotao now had something of a window theory mentality.

Anyway, Wang Dong'er had already thoroughly trampled her dignity. If Wang Dong'er truly possessed the powerful ice attribute capable of suppressing the evil fire, Ma Xiaotao would actually be able to accept it.

At this moment, Yan Shaozhe's voice came again. "Weilun, what do you think about letting these second-year youngsters participate in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament?"

Hearing Yan Shaozhe's suggestion, Du Weilun pondered for a moment.

Though he did not particularly like troublemakers such as Wang Dong'er, he had to admit that her talent and strength were truly unparalleled across the continent.

When the time came, if she represented Shrek Academy in the tournament, the prestige she earned would belong to Shrek Academy, and the honors she won would also belong to Shrek Academy.

They could even use it to show off Shrek Academy's strength to other academies and factions.

This time, Shrek Academy would win three times over!

"Dean Yan, I think this is feasible," Du Weilun said. "We can also use this opportunity to make Wang Dong'er develop a sense of identification and belonging toward the academy. Through Wang Dong'er, the academy can also build ties with the Clear Sky Sect..."

Du Weilun spoke eloquently, and Yan Shaozhe felt his blood surge as he listened.

During his tenure as Shrek Academy's dean, he would be able to witness Shrek Academy become great once more—or even rise to greater heights!

Below the high platform, it was already Dai Huabin's turn among the students taking the assessment.

As the son of the White Tiger Duke, Dai Huabin's talent was considered extremely strong among this year's second-year students, almost second only to Wang Dong'er.

"Second-year Class One, Dai Huabin." Dai Huabin's voice was firm and powerful, as though he were deliberately displaying himself.

Having been thoroughly outclassed by Wang Dong'er, he desperately needed a bloody victory to prove himself.

Seeing Dai Huabin step out, Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up as well.

Compared to Wang Dong'er, Dai Huabin's talent was somewhat inferior, but his sense of identification with Shrek Academy was much stronger.

After all, the fact that he could get along so well with Zhou Yi, combined with his own talent, meant that barring any accidents, Dai Huabin would definitely be able to enter the Inner Court for further study and serve Shrek Academy in the future.

"Other than Wang Dong'er, this Dai Huabin should be the strongest second-year student right now, correct?" Yan Shaozhe asked Du Weilun.

Du Weilun nodded. "Dai Huabin is a descendant of the White Tiger Duke. Dean Yan, you know that Dai Yueheng from our Inner Court is his older brother. And Dai Huabin's talent is even somewhat stronger than Dai Yueheng's."

"I heard Dai Huabin cultivates extremely diligently. Based on his current progress, if he can keep it up, he may break through to four rings within a year and a half."

"Unfortunately, Wang Dong'er is ahead of him now. Otherwise, Dai Huabin might have been the first person to break the academy's record."

At that, Du Weilun gently shook his head with a hint of regret.

"Even so, he is outstanding enough," Yan Shaozhe said with a smile. He was very satisfied with Dai Huabin.

Below the high platform, Dai Huabin had already made his challenge selection. Before the referee could ask, he declared, "I want to challenge a thousand-year soul beast."

This was the second student so far in the advancement assessment to choose to challenge a thousand-year soul beast.

After confirming that Dai Huabin was ready, the referee signaled for another teacher to release a soul beast from the beast enclosure.

A tiger soul beast with a body nearly two meters long but remarkably agile movements immediately sprang out.

This tiger soul beast belonged to the Wind Tiger race, known among tiger soul beasts for its speed. Its entire body was covered in pale yellow fur with dark cyan stripes, and its eyes were a deep green.

Dai Huabin did not release his martial soul. He charged directly toward the Wind Tiger, leaving the referee astonished and unable to understand what he intended to do.

After a brief adjustment, the Wind Tiger let out a low growl at Dai Huabin. Seemingly deciding that Dai Huabin posed no threat, it suddenly pounced, looking as though it and Dai Huabin were charging toward each other.

However, just as they neared each other, Dai Huabin showed no intention of dodging the Wind Tiger's attack. He roared as he released his White Tiger Martial Soul, his first and third spirit rings lighting up at the same time.

To the Wind Tiger, Dai Huabin's White Tiger Martial Soul was a superior presence. The moment it was released, the White Tiger's aura caused a humanlike flicker of fear to appear in the Wind Tiger's eyes.

A bloodthirsty gleam flashed in Dai Huabin's eyes. He ignored the Wind Tiger's attack completely, forcibly shortening the transformation process required to release his soul skills. The White Tiger Bodyguard Barrier shone with golden light under the enhancement of White Tiger Vajra Transformation, while his tiger claws slashed toward the Wind Tiger.
