"Come--"
Xu Sanshi, having broken through the seal of his Martial Soul, put away the frivolous smile that had been on his face. His muscles bulged, and his figure became even taller and more robust, with a green light constantly emanating from his short hair.
It stood silently in the wind and snow, like an insurmountable peak.
The moment the words fell, the dense, dark green energy around it seemed to boil, the viscous blue waves surged, and the terrifying aura of the divine beast erupted without reservation.
With the complete activation of the Black Tortoise Bloodline, although he only had four Spirit Ring (two yellow and two purple), his current aura was far beyond that of Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.
With the added blessing of the divine beast imprint on his Soul Skill, he was not afraid of the opponent's Spirit Ring ratio that overwhelmed him.
Snow Empress remained unmoved as the opponent unleashed their amplification skills.
Xu Sanshi has undoubtedly reached the strength of a high-level Soul King.
It can be said that the young man in front of us is indeed quite strong, but he is only just average.
Feeling the two opposing and extremely oppressive auras on the Martial Arts Arena, the Inner Court Disciple were all greatly amazed.
It wasn't just seeing Xu Sanshi forced to use his true power and unleash his Black Tortoise Bloodline, but also the chill emanating from the Snow Empress's vast domain.
Is this really just a battle at the Soul Ancestor level?
"It's actually the bloodline of a divine beast."
Seeing Xu Sanshi in full force, Qiu'er also observed the battle with great interest, feeling a bit itchy to join in.
Such a fine tortoise shell, it's a shame not to use it for boxing.
I just don't know if this turtle shell is hard enough to withstand a few of her punches.
Huo Yuhao nodded and commented, "Senior Xu's defense is indeed tough; he can take a lot of beatings."
Just as the two were talking, Xu Sanshi, who was in the center of the arena, moved.
Because of the concealment effect brought by Snow Concealment, combined with the Snow Dance Domain, the Snow Empress's figure was completely hidden.
Of all those present, only a handful of Soul Master could track down Snow Empress, and Xu Sanshi was certainly not one of them.
Although his Soul Power quality and Soul Skill underwent a rapid transformation thanks to bloodline awakening, his Spiritual Power did not actually improve much.
Even if one wanted to activate the advanced Darknether Displacement to teleport the opponent to one's front, it would be completely impossible.
Right now, he can only play a passive defensive role.
However, with his rich combat experience, he naturally wouldn't lose his composure. After assessing the current situation, he immediately prepared to launch a defensive counterattack.
This is also the most common fighting style used by Defense-type Soul Master.
Xu Sanshi roared to the sky, and his third Purple Grade Third Soul Ring shone brightly, unleashing the Mysterious Black Power! With the amplification from the awakening of the Black Tortoise Bloodline, his strength almost doubled in a short period of time.
Moreover, the Mysterious Black Power in this state not only amplifies him, but also affects a large area around him.
As a rich, dark green light burst forth, a massive amount of water element gathered around Xu Sanshi, forming the rudiments of a small domain.
Within this nascent Black Tortoise Domain, the enemy's movements would be greatly restricted, while Xu Sanshi would thrive in his new environment.
Unfortunately, it still falls far short of the Snow Empress's true Snow Dance Domain.
The Mysterious Black Power, permeated with water vapor, had been largely frozen into an ice crystal world.
Xu Sanshi tried his best, but could only barely maintain a 30/70 split.
His brow furrowed; he realized the crisis the situation was in.
Therefore, Xu Sanshi raised the Black Tortoise Shield high.
Then everyone saw that his first three Spirit Ring lit up at the same time.
Even more astonishingly, the three Spirit Ring converged in an instant, transforming into a single black Spirit Ring that then shone brightly!
The dark green serpent on the Black Tortoise Shield seemed to awaken, its tongue slightly raised and its eyes glowing red.
A gigantic phantom of a tortoise and snake rose up from behind Xu Sanshi.
Divine Beast Bloodline Talent, Spirit Ring Combination!
His first three Soul Skill were Mysterious Black Tremor, Mysterious Black Shield Formation, and Mysterious Black Power. Now, these three Soul Skill combined into one, unleashing the power of Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!
The Ten-Thousand-Year Combination Spirit Ring, Black Tortoise Roar: The Black Tortoise Shield expands to block and absorb the opponent's attacks, greatly reducing the Soul Power of those it touches. At the same time, Black Tortoise roars, causing surrounding enemies to lose consciousness for a short time, their bodies becoming immobilized as if trapped in a viscous swamp.
Xu Sanshi had tried this move on his Close Friend Beibei before. Even when Beibei used all his strength, he was still controlled by his Black Tortoise Roar for at least three seconds!
However, what Xu Sanshi didn't know was that the Snow Empress, hidden in the wind and snow, was already planning how to show mercy while displaying some of his own talent.
Because of the appearance of the Auspicious Beast, Snow Empress inexplicably felt a little competitive spirit.
However, she also knew that she still couldn't cause Yuhao any trouble.
After all, she was Soul Beast Re-cultivation. Although she had the protection of the Secret Crossing Immortal Gu, she couldn't be too high-profile.
After a moment's thought, seeing that Xu Sanshi had also made full preparations for defense, Snow Empress made her move.
Emperor Palm, Great Cold Without Snow!
This is not a single Soul Skill.
Instead, it's a combination of Spirit Ring similar to the Black Tortoise Roar.
Because of her low Soul Power Level, she now needs the help of Spirit Ring to unleash the full power of her once-famous skills.
An endless chill began to gather from the Snow Empress's right palm.
Seeing Snow Empress appear openly and honestly, Xu Sanshi timed it perfectly, and his black Spirit Ring shone brightly.
The Black Tortoise Shield instantly grew larger under the swirling black light, expanding to a diameter of over three meters in the blink of an eye.
As the two drew closer, Snow Empress's right palm began to glow with a chilling azure light.
Without any alarming display or concealing any terrifying power, the Snow Empress's hand simply landed lightly on the tilted, massive shield.
Instantly separate.
A strong sense of danger rose in Xu Sanshi's heart.
The long-awaited, low roar finally resounded throughout the venue.
Like a divine beast awakening, this roar, Qidian from Xu Sanshi's body, caused all the Soul Master near the Martial Arts Arena with cultivation levels below the Seven-Ringed Soul Sage level to go blank in their minds amidst the terrifying roar.
Aside from Huo Yuhao, Di Qiuer, and Snow Empress.
Click—
Before the audience, who had been subdued, could recover, Xu Sanshi, who had just received an ordinary palm strike from Snow Empress, felt a chill on the arm holding the Black Tortoise Shield. Then, starting from his palm, his entire arm quickly lost sensation.
Under the terrifying chill, large swathes of frost spread continuously towards Xu Sanshi's body, instantly engulfing the black water waves protecting him.
Xu Sanshi, who had just been so arrogant, was frozen into an ice sculpture.
Upon seeing this outcome, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
After a brief silence, the entire Martial Arts Arena erupted in deafening cheers.
Thanks to Xu Sanshi's dedicated efforts, this match brought to them by Snow Empress was undoubtedly more spectacular than the previous violent beating.
The Inner Court Student watching the battle gasped in astonishment, unable to contain their excitement for Jiujiu.
"Ah, Ah Qiu—"
" Guigui, what kind of monsters has the Academy recruited...?"
One or two of them started with Thousand-Year Soul Ring, their Martial Soul quality was top-notch, and their combat power was extremely strong!
Recalling the nightmarish scene he had just experienced, Xu Sanshi's body trembled involuntarily, and he began to complain to Beibei beside him.
It can be said that he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.
"A new generation replaces the old."
Beibei, one of the "two rising stars of the Inner Court," also sighed with emotion.
He felt the same way when his friend Xu Sanshi was defeated.
One's own family knows one's own affairs.
Although he currently has a clear advantage over Xu Sanshi in terms of combat power, that is based on the premise that Xu Sanshi's Black Tortoise Bloodline has not been fully awakened.
Once Xu Sanshi unleashes his full power, even Beibei herself, who has already solidified her Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, will not be able to defeat him during this period.
It can be said that Xu Sanshi's talent is among the top level of recent enrolled Soul Master. The only ones who can consistently surpass him in terms of talent are those with Twin Martial Souls, like Wang Dong'er.
After all, under normal circumstances, the advantage of Twin Martial Souls is far greater than that of ordinary Soul Master.
As for people like Di Qiuer and Snow Empress, they can only be considered complete outsiders!
The two of them are already geniuses who have completely transcended their era, just like Huo Yuhao!
Even if I were to fight the Snow Empress, I would have no chance of winning.
Not to mention facing Di Qiuer, who possesses the cultivation of Five-Ring Soul King, the mere suppression of her Martial Soul made Beibei's scalp tingle, making it difficult for her to unleash even half of her strength...
That's Golden Dragon Martial Soul!
Even if one's own Martial Soul undergoes another transformation, reaching the level of Radiant Holy Dragon like Mu En, it would still be difficult to catch up with him.
If we only consider a single Martial Soul, Beibei even thinks that Huo Yuhao Yuhao's title as Shrek's number one genius should be given to Di Qiuer.
"Thanks to Yuhao for removing the chill of the Ultimate Ice in time, otherwise I would have almost seen my great-grandmother!"
Speaking of this, Xu Sanshi was also a little scared.
Sure enough, I've become a bit arrogant since entering the Inner Court. I need to guard against arrogance and impetuosity!
Upon hearing this, Beibei subconsciously glanced at the three people not far away, who were getting along well. She hesitated slightly before saying:
"I have a feeling that the relationship between these three is definitely not ordinary..."
Xu Sanshi rolled his eyes. "Isn't that obvious? I would believe the girl I just fought was Yuhao's sister."
"Not really."
Beibei sized up the three of them, slowly shook his head, and then couldn't help but glance at Zhang Lexuan, who was talking to Du Weilun, and sighed softly:
"But we definitely need to step up our efforts."
Xu Sanshi looked completely bewildered. "What do you mean, 'give it your all'?"
Beibei didn't answer, but instead gave him a disgruntled look. "I'm telling you, you'd better work hard, or you'll let Xiao Ya and me down."
"You're really more anxious than the emperor."
Xu Sanshi clicked his tongue and shook his head, saying, "Just like Yuhao said, too much of a good thing is bad. Humph, you're such a social butterfly, you know it but don't!"
Beibei: "..."
Then, Xu Sanshi seemed to remember something and casually asked, "By the way, what's the future of the Spirit Pagoda we've joined?"
"You're asking me?"
Beibei shrugged. " The Tang Sect has already merged into it, and we've all joined in, so what's there to ask?"
Xu Sanshi explained, "I just wanted to see if you had any special information through your channels. This isn't my idea; it's from my family, you understand?"
"Then you'd better think this through. This is no longer a small-scale operation like the Tang Sect used to be; it's an organization with the Sea God Pavilion as its backing."
Beibei also became serious.
He only heard about some things from Tang Ya and Mystic Ancestor.
However, we'll have to wait for Huo Yuhao to announce and proceed with the details.
However, just hearing those words is enough to excite people.
Regardless, the Spirit Pagoda organization played a revolutionary role in the future development of the continent.
"It would be a good thing to get involved sooner, or even to invest your own money," Beibei could only offer this much advice.
With the Inner Court Assessment over, Di Qiuer and Snow Empress no longer needed to worry about the rest. All they had to consider was how Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er would come to recruit (snatch) them with conditions.
However, this is basically a foregone conclusion.
It's impossible to expect these two Soul Beast Transformation to be interested in Soul Tool after they transform into human form.
Let's observe a minute's silence in advance for the failure of the Soul Tool Department.
The allocation of dormitories in the Inner Court will have to wait until Zhang Lexuan finishes her teaching duties for the day.
Since the two students were enrolled halfway through their studies, whether as transfer students or directly skipping grades to enter the Inner Court, the allocation of related resources and their treatment were still up for discussion.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Lexuan and the others, the three of them headed towards Huo Yuhao's dormitory.
Soon, they saw two beautiful figures waiting outside the dormitory room.
" Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, what are you doing here?"
When the three appeared, Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao subconsciously looked up, and their faces lit up with joy when they saw Huo Yuhao.
Xiao Xiao was the first to speak, "Hehe, I heard from Dong'er that I could freeload, so I came along."
Meeting Wang Dong'er's somewhat resentful gaze, Huo Yuhao also remembered the promise he had made to Tang Ya before taking her to reclaim the lost territory.
I'd forgotten about it if you didn't mention it.
Well, actually it's because I've been quite busy lately.
Not long after helping Tang Ya deal with the Iron Blood Sect, he received a "request for help" from Snow Empress, and could only cancel the grilled fish he had promised Wang Dong'er.
And then this trip lasted for almost a month.
Even Tang Ya returned to Shrek and set an example by helping him promote the construction of the Spirit Pagoda, which is why Huo Yuhao arrived late.
He had actually asked his Senior Sister to create the Spirit Pagoda organization a long time ago, and he had also recruited some people into it and taught them some suitable Meditation Technique.
Although small Xiao Wu.
Even without Tang Ya's generous donation this time, Huo Yuhao is not worried at all about how to attract talent in the future.
He believed that no one would refuse Soul Spirit Contract!
Even Soul Beast will strongly support it.
Huo Yuhao did not want to turn the Spirit Pagoda into a "public welfare" organization under the supervision of the other Three Great Empires, as in the Original Work.
He wanted to firmly grasp the Spirit Pagoda in his own hands!
Using Shrek as a springboard, its influence will spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent!
" Yuhao, who are they?"
Wang Dong'er finally asked the question that had been lingering in her mind since they first met.
For some reason, upon seeing Di Qiuer, Wang Dong'er felt a sense of loss.
However, this feeling came quickly and went quickly.
Wang Dong'er is now left with only a sense of impending crisis.
Why are there more and more competitors?
After briefly introducing their identities, Huo Yuhao interrupted their subsequent movements and extended a long-awaited invitation to a barbecue.
Wang Dong'er: Since things have come to this, let's eat first...
