"Junior Disciple Brother, how is this place? Open enough, right? It should be suitable for demonstrating a soul skill, shouldn't it?"
After learning that Shao Zhuang wanted to test the soul skill attached to his soul bone, Yan Shaozhe brought him to a quiet and secluded area on Sea God Island.
Here, Shao Zhuang could test his soul bone skill without worry.
Shao Zhuang thanked Yan Shaozhe. "Sorry to trouble you, Senior Brother."
He then began introducing the soul skill bestowed upon him by the Sacred Invocation Sacred Left Leg Bone.
"Sacred Trample, a control-type spiritual soul skill."
"After activating the soul skill, it grants a brief flight ability, allowing the user to crash down from the air. Using the left leg as its core, it releases a spreading holy shockwave. Aside from physical damage, the shockwave can suppress every target within its range mentally and even inflict spiritual impact damage."
"When used against attributes countered by the holy attribute, it also possesses a powerful Purge Sin effect, dispelling any attribute enhancements they have applied to themselves."
With that said, Shao Zhuang immediately demonstrated the soul bone skill known as Sacred Trample.
Although he could not use his martial soul for the moment, using soul power to activate a soul bone skill posed no problem.
Soul power surged through him, and Divine Light bloomed from his left leg.
Immediately afterward, Shao Zhuang's figure rose into the air.
The next instant, he descended at high speed like a Sea-Calming Divine Needle radiating sacred light, crashing into the ground.
"Boom—"
The lawn cracked apart, leaving behind a massive crater as the shockwave rapidly spread in all directions.
Not good!
Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe reacted swiftly, activating his soul power to contain the shockwave imbued with holy power within a small area.
This spiritual impact really is something else. It even directly echoes the name Sacred Trample...
To better experience the effects of the soul bone skill, Yan Shaozhe did not defend himself and instead allowed the spiritual force within the holy shockwave to rush directly into his mind.
As he felt its effects, Yan Shaozhe knew that the soul bone skill's name had not been chosen incorrectly at all.
Worthy of the name Sacred Trample, its holy power struck on both physical and spiritual levels, subjecting its target's body and mind to double damage.
The holy attribute in particular charged straight into the victim's mind, producing an exceptionally potent effect.
Thus, the name Sacred Trample was entirely fitting.
Moreover, when facing attributes countered by the holy attribute, it could unleash even stronger effects, making it all the more extraordinary.
All he could say was that the soul skill attached to this sixty-seven-thousand-year Sacred Invocation Sacred Left Leg Bone far surpassed Shrek Academy's evaluation of soul bones.
It was a genuine and unexpected delight!
Of course, Yan Shaozhe also suspected that this was likely because the Sacred Invocation Sacred Left Leg Bone was exceptionally compatible with Shao Zhuang himself.
That was why he had received such an enormous boost after absorbing the soul bone.
As a result, Yan Shaozhe's gaze toward Shao Zhuang grew increasingly satisfied.
His martial soul had not even completed its evolution yet, and it was already beginning to show its edge.
"Senior Brother, I'm truly sorry. It was my first time using it, so I didn't control the power properly."
After completing a Sacred Trample, Shao Zhuang promptly admitted his mistake when he saw the damage he had caused to the surrounding environment.
Yan Shaozhe naturally did not mind much.
He waved a hand and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. I stopped it in time, so this minor damage is nothing. Besides, your Senior Brother can restore this much damage very quickly."
After saying that, Yan Shaozhe immediately activated his soul power and repaired the damaged ground around them.
"Alright, Junior Disciple Brother. Now that you've demonstrated your soul bone skill, I'll take you around Sea God Island." After finishing all that, he extended a new invitation to Shao Zhuang.
What could Shao Zhuang say to that? Naturally, he gladly agreed.
Sea God Island was not merely home to Sea God Pavilion and the Elders; it also housed Shrek Academy's Inner Court Disciples.
Yan Shaozhe's thoughts were simple. He merely hoped that Shao Zhuang would begin integrating into Shrek Academy and build better relationships with its students.
Perhaps, if the impression left on him became deep enough, it would strengthen the bond he had formed with Shrek Academy.
"Then let's go."
Yan Shaozhe was naturally very pleased with Shao Zhuang's attitude.
Highly talented, with limitless potential, yet also so polite and considerate.
It was precisely because of this that Yan Shaozhe felt fortunate about his decisive choice to recruit Shao Zhuang.
"Under the normal academic process, Junior Disciple Brother, you should first complete all your studies in the Outer Court. Then, after passing the assessment, you would officially enter the Inner Court."
"But since the circumstances are rather special now, the academy has relaxed its requirements for you considerably."
"At the same time, the foundational knowledge that should have been taught to you in the Outer Court will be handled by dedicated teachers in one-on-one lessons. We will strive to help you master it quickly and transition into the Inner Court as soon as possible..."
Along the way, Yan Shaozhe continued explaining things to Shao Zhuang.
He also outlined the academy's arrangements for him.
In the early stages, renowned teachers would provide one-on-one instruction. As long as he mastered the preliminary knowledge, even if his Soul Power Level was temporarily insufficient, he could directly transfer into the Inner Court.
Of course, to Shao Zhuang at this stage, the identities of Outer Court student and Inner Court Disciple were little more than titles.
After all, no one could compare to Shao Zhuang's cultivation resources. There was only one such case in all of Shrek Academy.
It was about time to begin the Heavenly Curtain's revelation.
After following Yan Shaozhe around and meeting several Inner Court Disciples, Shao Zhuang felt that the time was about right.
Thus, without showing any outward reaction, he resumed the Heavenly Curtain's broadcast.
[Strongest Human Monologue Ranking, tied for tenth place: Death God Douluo Ye Xishui!]
That indifferent voice once again appeared above the world, announcing to all living beings that the Heavenly Curtain's revelations had begun anew.
With yesterday's monologues concerning Dragon God Douluo Mu En and Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, the broadcast drew the interest of countless living beings the moment it began.
At this moment, they all had but one thought: the Heavenly Curtain had finally started!
Especially after learning that Ye Xishui was the one about to be revealed, countless people became intensely curious.
After all, from the previous monologues, they had already pieced together Ye Xishui's tragic life, as well as her tangled love and hatred with Mu En and Long Xiaoyao.
Now that they could witness the monologue of one of those involved, they would naturally be able to learn even more.
