Powerful Spatial Abilities

Seeing the two middle-aged teachers completely stunned, Xia Wuyou channeled his soul power toward them.

"You two! Time to snap out of it!"

Feeling a wave of powerful soul power wash over them, the two teachers jolted back to their senses.

They quickly spoke up.

"Ahem, greetings, sir!"

"Our Dean Liu of Lanba Advanced Spirit Master Academy is indeed on campus. Please follow me—I'll take you to see her right away!"

A Seven-Ring Spirit Saint, and one with a Three Purple, Three Black, One Red soul ring configuration at that—they, mere thirty-something-level nobodies, dared not show the slightest neglect.

"Mm! In that case, I'll trouble you two to lead the way."

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Xia Wuyou nodded in satisfaction.

Leaving one teacher to continue handling enrollment at the academy gate, Xia Wuyou followed the other teacher and soon arrived at the back mountain of Blue Tyrant Academy, where he finally met Liu Erlong as hoped.

At that moment, on the back mountain of Lanba Advanced Spirit Master Academy.

Inside a three-story wooden cabin.

Liu Erlong, now in her thirties, wore a form-fitting cyan dress. Her features were fairly delicate, with a hint of valor between her brows. She was carefully sizing up Xia Wuyou.

"Ahem, young man, you're called Xia Wuyou, right?"

"I'm Liu Erlong, the dean of Lanba Advanced Spirit Master Academy. Is there something you need from me?"

After the middle-aged teacher had left, Liu Erlong had learned the basics about Xia Wuyou.

A Seven-Ring Spirit Saint, just like her!

And with that astonishing Three Purple, Three Black, One Red soul ring configuration.

Though she was curious about what his spirit was, what his soul skills were, and how he'd achieved that ring setup, she knew better than to pry.

After all, Douluo Continent had a long-standing tradition.

Asking a stranger outright about their spirit's secrets, soul skill abilities, and the method for absorbing rings beyond their level was nothing short of a hostile provocation—it could easily forge a blood feud.

And so, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Liu Erlong suppressed her curiosity and merely observed Xia Wuyou without giving anything away.

Faced with Liu Erlong's inquiry, Xia Wuyou flashed a playful smile before unhurriedly stating his purpose.

"Heh, hello, Dean Liu. Pleasure to meet you."

"I'm Xia Wuyou—Wuyou, as in carefree!"

"As for why I've come to see you today..."

"It's to obtain Lanba Advanced Spirit Master Academy..."

The method to obtain Lanba Advanced Spirit Master Academy was actually quite simple!

Whether by overpowering her with strength or by offering news of Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts and condition.

Either approach would let him easily wrest control of the academy from Liu Erlong's hands!

As soon as Xia Wuyou said this, Liu Erlong was taken aback, then the valor in her brows twisted into anger.

"Hmph! Your Excellency Wuyou has quite the nerve!"

"I founded Blue Tyrant Academy with my own hands. Why should I hand it over to you?"

Seeing that Xia Wuyou had come to pick a fight, Liu Erlong immediately summoned her spirit and soul rings.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black.

Liu Erlong's seven standard-configured soul rings rose in sequence, the full presence of a Seven-Ring Spirit Saint radiating outward.

Behind her, a blazing red light burst forth, accompanied by a low, dragon-like roar. The phantom of a crimson dragon, nearly ten meters long, materialized.

Its scales shimmered like burning flames, its savage horns curved forward, and its red vertical pupils brimmed with violent energy.

This was Liu Erlong's beast spirit—the Fire Dragon Spirit, a mutation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Seeing this, Xia Wuyou grinned.

"Heh! You ask me why?"

"Dean Liu, that's a good question!"

"The answer is simple: because I'm stronger than you!"

Purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, red.

Seven soul rings, far from ordinary, rose slowly from beneath his feet.

Xia Wuyou's left pupil and the space behind him both displayed a spinning Platinum Clock, his left eye radiating an intensely bright platinum-gold light.

An even more powerful and overbearing Spirit Power fluctuation surged toward Liu Erlong like a tidal wave.

"Hiss! A Seven-Ring Spirit Saint at such a young age!"

"And with a spirit ring configuration of Three Purple, Three Black, One Red!"

When she saw Xia Wuyou's spirit ring setup, Liu Erlong's already sharp eyes went wide as saucers.

Her breath caught in her throat, and her body began trembling uncontrollably.

Even though she had known his strength and ring configuration beforehand.

Seeing such a heaven-defying ring setup with her own eyes still left her utterly stunned.

"Where the hell did this freak come from?"

"The Two Great Empires? The Upper Three Sects? Or Martial Soul Hall?"

"Reaching Seven-Ring Spirit Saint at this age, with a Three Purple Three Black One Red configuration—Xia Wuyou couldn't possibly be unknown!"

Liu Erlong quickly analyzed in her mind, trying to figure out which major force he belonged to.

But no matter how she thought it through, she couldn't find any relevant information.

Seeing Liu Erlong lost in thought, Xia Wuyou spoke up.

"Heh! Dean Liu! A friendly reminder!"

"Zoning out during a fight isn't a good habit!"

"If you're still unwilling to hand over the ownership of Blue Tyrant Academy, then we'll just have to spar a bit."

At Xia Wuyou's words, Liu Erlong snorted coldly.

"Hmph! Enough talk!"

"If you want to take Blue Tyrant Academy's ownership from me, then you'll have to defeat me, Liu Erlong, first!"

Though Xia Wuyou's ring configuration was beyond her comparison, Liu Erlong was absolutely not about to back down.

"Seventh Spirit Skill: Fire Dragon True Body!"

"Sixth Spirit Skill: Explosive Fire Dragon Speed!"

Without any hesitation, Liu Erlong not only activated her Martial Soul Avatar but also unleashed her strongest sixth spirit skill.

Flames instantly condensed on her fists as she charged at Xia Wuyou at breakneck speed.

She intended to end the fight quickly with her most powerful attack.

Seeing the fierce assault, Xia Wuyou's spirit rings flashed.

"Spatial Control, Spatial Teleportation!"

Xia Wuyou's form flickered, and he appeared right beside Liu Erlong.

"A Space Spirit? Space spirit skills?"

"No! This kid is terrifyingly strong!"

At the sight, Liu Erlong's expression shifted dramatically.

"Dean Liu, have you ever been kicked through space?"

As Liu Erlong stared in shock, Xia Wuyou slowly raised his right foot and kicked, his leg carrying the Spirit Power fluctuation of the Space Attribute.

A loud "bang" rang out as Liu Erlong flew back even faster than she had charged in, smashing straight through an entire wooden cabin.

"Mmh!"

Lying amid the rubble of the ruined cabin, Liu Erlong let out a stifled groan of pain, her face instantly turning pale.

Her mind went blank as she stared blankly at the sky, her eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

Both of them Seven-Ring Spirit Saints, and she had been taken down in one move?
