The next day, Li Jinsheng understood what he was about to face.
This was hell!
Looking at the desolate world before him, Li Jinsheng felt his entire body resisting it. His body instinctively loathed this world!
Yellow sand filled the sky, while a blazing sun hung high in the heavens, its scorching heat roasting every corner of the land.
He walked into the billowing sands, yet he could not sense a single trace of life around him.
This was naturally not the real world, but an illusory space.
This was a world created specifically for Li Jinsheng, a world utterly devoid of life.
At that moment, an old man watched the scene calmly.
He was Han Tianyi, the Illusion Brain Douluo, the foremost expert in spiritual cultivation within the Spirit Pagoda. A rank ninety-eight Super Douluo, his Martial Soul was Brain, and he was also a Four-word Battle Armor Master!!!
At Leng Yaozhu's request, he had been asked to give Li Jinsheng special care.
This child was rather unruly and needed to have his temperament properly tempered. Thus, he had specially prepared this world, whose affinity was completely opposite to that of Li Jinsheng's Martial Soul, to hone his character.
"I never expected this child to endure for so long!" Han Tianyi watched Li Jinsheng inside the illusory world, finding it somewhat unbelievable. An ordinary Spirit Master of his age would find even one minute in such a world agonizing, let alone a pure Life Attribute Spirit Master like Li Jinsheng, for whom it should have been unbearable.
What he did not know was that after Li Jinsheng endured the first five painful minutes, the agony in his body receded like the tide. In its place came an unprecedented excitement.
It was as though he was enjoying the beauty of this desolate world.
In another illusion, Gu Yue was treated far better than Li Jinsheng, placed within a virtual world filled with elements.
"They're both fine children!" the Illusion Brain Douluo could not help but sigh. Yet when he looked at Li Jinsheng, he could not help feeling curious about his Martial Soul. What exactly was this Life Element Martial Soul? Martial Souls all came from oneself. Could this Life Element be a manifestation of Li Jinsheng's life itself?!
After thinking it over carefully, he rejected that answer. If all Martial Souls came from oneself, then Life Attribute Spirit Masters would never die. As long as their Soul Power remained, their vitality would never fade.
About half an hour later, the Illusion Brain Douluo did not dare gamble on Li Jinsheng's limits. With a wave of his hand, he sent the two out of the illusion.
As the world before him twisted and changed, Li Jinsheng's face filled with frustration. He had only just started getting into it; it seemed as if some power within him was awakening.
Gu Yue glanced at Li Jinsheng. Seeing the faint, intermittent aura of destruction on his right hand—an aura completely opposed to the Life Attribute—her beautiful eyes narrowed.
Just as the aura of destruction was about to erupt and annihilate everyone present, vast and pure life force completely suppressed Li Jinsheng's true origin, and the destructive aura vanished without a trace.
Everything seemed as though it had never happened. Even Han Tianyi failed to notice that aura.
Gu Yue was briefly stunned, suspecting that what she had just seen was an illusion. She could not help but panic. With this brat's ferocious nature, she could not imagine what would happen if he gained control of the Power of Destruction!
"Time's about up. I'll send you to the Virtual Battlefield. Tian Feng wants to see your combat abilities!"
Gu Yue nodded. She knew what the Virtual Battlefield was—a byproduct of the Spirit Ascension Platform. Shrek Academy also had virtual spaces for daily combat training.
Yet she still felt that what she had seen just now was not an illusion.
And what Gu Yue had seen was naturally no illusion. In that instant, the former Plane Master's plan had nearly gone up in smoke.
Fortunately, action had been taken in time!
A moment later, under the Illusion Brain Douluo's guidance, Li Jinsheng and Gu Yue entered two Simulation Chambers. Once they entered the Virtual Battlefield, Leng Yaozhu, having finished her work, began observing the children's every move.
Li Jinsheng and Gu Yue appeared in a wilderness. Before them stretched lush Blue Silver Grass, while in the distance, a crimson sun set behind the mountains, adding a touch of unusual charm to the scene.
"Sunset! Hahaha! It's time to show off how unbelievably handsome I am!" The boy narrowed his eyes, found a suitable position, and turned his back to the setting sun. In an instant, he felt power filling his entire body!
Watching Li Jinsheng pose by himself, Gu Yue did not want to acknowledge this thing at all. She even instinctively placed Li Jinsheng in a separate biological category.
"There's no time for you two to fool around. Training begins now! First wave!"
Han Tianyi's aged voice rang out from the sky above the illusion.
As his voice fell, four enormous black shadows appeared before the two of them.
Taking a closer look, they were clearly four Soul Beasts. This type of Soul Beast looked extremely strange. They were over five meters long and more than two meters tall, with massive bodies. Each had two horns on its head, one longer and one shorter. Their entire bodies were covered in a thick, armor-like layer of keratin, and their eyes were scarlet.
Hundred-year Earth Demon Rhinoceroses!
"Hahaha! Leave them to me! Let me show you the results of my training over the past year!" Li Jinsheng laughed loudly and shot forward like a cannonball!
Leng Yaozhu frowned slightly as she watched this unconventional support-type Spirit Master. Although the status of these Soul Beasts was inferior to that of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear found in forests, they were still unquestionably extremely powerful Soul Beasts.
The next moment, Li Jinsheng directly collided with the foremost Earth Demon Rhinoceros. His seven-year-old body looked pitifully small before the giant beast!
Yet Li Jinsheng used his tiny hands to forcibly seize its horns. He lowered his waist, twisted, and shouted, "Up you go!"
Boom!
He actually lifted the thousand-jin beast over his head, swung it through the air like a hammer throw for two full circles, then smashed it straight into another Earth Demon Rhinoceros at his side!
The two giant beasts collided violently with a dull crash. A huge crater instantly formed in the ground, dirt scattering as yellow sand surged into the sky.
Gu Yue stood in the distance, watching this thing become less and less human, more like a humanoid giant beast! This was absolutely not strength that a human could unleash!
She said nothing. Raising her hand, she likewise joined the battle! A wisp of flame rose from her hand and, with a flick of her fingertip, transformed into a fiery rope that instantly wrapped around the third Earth Demon Rhinoceros.
The flames wound around its body with crackling sounds, and the Earth Demon Rhinoceros let out a pained howl.
Li Jinsheng found the sound irritating. Purple Light flashed beneath his feet, and four streaks of light flew out as he roared, "What are you yelling for?! You don't have pain receptors! Are you provoking us?!"
Before the light even arrived, he had already rushed to the third Earth Demon Rhinoceros. His fists rained down upon its body like a storm, and the continuous barrage actually shattered the Earth Demon Rhinoceros's iron-hard horn!
In an instant, the two Titled Douluo who had been conversing outside the illusion fell silent. Heavenly Phoenix Douluo could not help asking, "The Body Sect has always been renowned for physical strength. Surely someone at that age can do this too, right?"
Illusion Brain Douluo now wanted nothing more than to take Li Jinsheng apart and see whether his body was a Body Martial Soul!
And besides, had anyone ever seen a seven-year-old who could casually speak Yura? Was that an ability he had been born with?!
"Where did you find this child? It feels like his martial soul cannot be understood through conventional reasoning," Han Tianyi said involuntarily.
"East Sea. Innate Full Soul Power. His report was intercepted, and I happened to come across him," Leng Yaozhu answered honestly.
"No! Isn't this child a little too brutal?" Han Tianyi noticed Li Jinsheng's actions within the illusion and could not help sighing again. "I never expected a martial soul could be used like this!"
