Single Attribute Four Clans, Snake Emperor Medusa, a Grueling Study Life

Single Attribute Four Clans, Snake Emperor Medusa, a Grueling Study Life (4K)

Illusion Space.

Using peak Spirit Domain Realm mental strength, Han Tianyi simulated a classroom and taught the two of them Mecha Repair knowledge.

Both were Four-Word Battle Armor Masters, yet Sky Phoenix Douluo and Illusion Brain Douluo had vastly different teaching styles.

Leng Yaozhu started with basic theory and gradually delved deeper, making her lessons suitable for beginners. Han Tianyi, meanwhile, opened with a bombshell, using mental strength to manifest concrete examples and wildly dissecting every detail. His students needed a certain foundation.

This left Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er at opposite extremes. Zhao Xuanzhen had secretly been grinding since childhood and handled it with ease. Na'er stared at the ceiling at a forty-five-degree angle, looking like she was about to fall apart.

Mecha Repair was the most complicated of the Four Major Professions. A Mecha Repairer ought to be proficient in Mecha Design and Mecha Manufacturing. While there was no need to study either to the absolute extreme, one had to deeply understand the connection between them in order to repair damaged Battle Armor or mechas.

"Class dismissed."

The moment Na'er heard the two words she had dreamed of, she flopped onto the desk and stared at Zhao Xuanzhen with deep resentment. Those silver eyes seemed to speak:

I came to play with you, and you dragged me into class. You monster!

Zhao Xuanzhen calmly took out two bags of snacks. The young girl instantly swept away her gloom, taking one bite after another without stopping. Her cheeks puffed up like a chipmunk's.

"Beep beep—"

Han Tianyi received a Soul Guidance Communication message. He focused his gaze and saw that it was from Leng Yaozhu. After reading it, a trace of a smile appeared on his face as he said:

"Tianfeng just sent a message. She wants you two little ones to enter the virtual combat grounds of Illusion Space—the Real Illusion."

"Real Illusion?" Na'er looked confused.

Zhao Xuanzhen explained softly, "The Real Illusion is a secondary product of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

"After killing soul beasts in the Spirit Ascension Platform, soul masters receive a portion of the energy feedback, allowing their Soul Rings to advance in age.

"As everyone knows, a soul master's mental strength and physical strength have limits. Once a Soul Ring reaches that limit, continuing to kill Spirit Ascension Platform soul beasts and absorb energy will cause the body to explode. That is why the Spirit Pagoda built the Real Illusion. It is not yet open to the public and is only supplied to internal soul masters.

"The Real Illusion is purely a place for practical combat training. Killing creatures inside provides no beneficial feedback, but its danger level is far lower than that of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

"First, it can connect to the Sea of Consciousness of Spirit Pagoda experts at the Spirit Domain Realm, allowing them to control everything. Second, it has an internal protection system. A soul master automatically leaves the battlefield the instant before death."

Within the Sun Moon Federation, only eighteen core cities had Spirit Ascension Platforms, known as the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars.

Each Spirit Ascension Platform had one thousand admission slots per month, at five hundred thousand Federation Coins per entry. For soul masters in the outside world, even going once a month was an enormous burden. But Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er had Vice Tower Master Leng Yaozhu backing them, so they could go whenever they wanted and quickly reach their limits in a short time.

In the future, the Real Illusion would become their second training ground.

Colorful Helmets descended from above and covered their heads. Han Tianyi's expression sharpened as his Spirit Domain Realm mental strength connected to the Real Illusion!

Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er appeared in a wilderness. As far as the eye could see, there was only withered Blue Silver Grass. The setting sun made the scene even more desolate.

"They really made it atmospheric..." Zhao Xuanzhen narrowed his eyes.

"First wave, teleport."

Han Tianyi's aged voice rang out from the sky above the Real Illusion.

Four black figures entered their field of vision. They were ape-type soul beasts, tall and powerfully built, with especially muscular arms!

Thousand-Year Great Strength Gorillas! Extreme pure-strength soul beasts, with Copper Skin Iron Bone. They excelled at close-quarters slaughter and possessed no ranged abilities.

"Two each?"

Zhao Xuanzhen tilted his head slightly. The black hair by his temples faded into pale white as Martial Soul True Self possessed him, and a dazzling purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring rose around his body.

"Sure!"

Na'er rubbed her fists and palms, gripping the Silver Dragon Spear tightly. Her hundred-year Soul Ring rose, and a soul beast with dense thorns along its back charged fiercely out of it. Zhao Xuanzhen recognized it as the Thorn Dragon he had eliminated at the start!

It possessed top-tier sub-dragon bloodline, balanced attack and speed, and wielded powerful Spatial Power. Once its cultivation broke through ten thousand years, it would awaken a domain soul skill—the Spatial Thorn Battlefield!

Like the most loyal soldier, the Thorn Dragon guarded Na'er. Zhao Xuanzhen had no doubt about its determination.

The Dragon Clan had fused with Na'er. Wasn't that basically passing the civil service exam and landing a job?

In its first battle, the Thorn Dragon was bound to show off and earn the approval of the Silver Dragon King Half Body!

The roars of the four Great Strength Gorillas shook heaven and earth. Their feet stomped down to accelerate, their bodies dragging black afterimages behind them. Fists as large as sandbags tore through the air, carrying brute force capable of shattering boulders as they crashed down!

Purple light burst from the Thousand-Year Soul Ring. First soul skill, Qi Follows the Heart!

Zhao Xuanzhen lightly rotated his wrist bone, spreading his fingers as if caressing flowing clouds. The circular arc of his Embracing Sparrow's Tail intercepted the fists of two Great Strength Gorillas perfectly.

In an instant, heaven and earth seemed to overturn. The Great Strength Gorillas staggered beneath Qi energy as soft as drifting clouds. Their power spiraled along the qi and was returned along its original path, accompanied by crisp sounds of bones breaking!

Four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds!

Their immense brute strength instead became the force that crushed them. Their hard arm bones shattered piece by piece under the backlash, and the Great Strength Gorillas let out agonized wails!

Zhao Xuanzhen stepped through the shattered sunset and closed in. Black and White Two Colors light shone from his palm as he casually pressed it against a Great Strength Gorilla's chest. Blood sprayed, and its heart exploded!

Soul beasts with nothing but brute strength were much easier to deal with than Man Faced Demon Spiders. Taijiquan alone was a natural barrier the Great Strength Gorillas could never cross in their lives.

His sleeves remained spotless. Zhao Xuanzhen withdrew his hand and turned to look at Na'er.

Na'er also faced two Great Strength Gorillas. Her silver pupils shone, then her Soul Ring lit up. Silver light on the Silver Dragon Spear became nearly tangible as intense killing intent erupted!

A clear, soaring dragon roar rang out. Na'er charged forward without hesitation, the Silver Dragon Spear tracing a perfect arc with centrifugal force. The instant its tip touched a Great Strength Gorilla's fist, a silver streak suddenly exploded!

First soul skill, Silver Dragon Slash!

Silver spread in an instant. Amid a piercing crack, the Great Strength Gorilla's arm bent backward—but only half the arm's cross-section remained. Its arm had been forcibly split open by the Silver Dragon Spear!

Na'er's First Soul Ring came from a spatial-attribute Thorn Dragon, while the Silver Dragon Spear itself was the Innate Divine Artifact of the Silver Dragon King. It was naturally compatible with all major elements. The two complemented one another, making the spatial cutting power of Silver Dragon Slash unstoppable!

The arms were the Great Strength Gorilla's most powerful weapons. Losing them made it like a lamb awaiting slaughter, and it was soon stabbed through the heart by Na'er.

With three companions dead, the final Great Strength Gorilla went mad on the spot, its eyes bloodshot as it lunged at Na'er!

"Roar—"

Silver light flashed. The Thorn Dragon leaped into the air, following Dragon's Flying Kick with Thorn's Spike. The smooth combo battered the Great Strength Gorilla back again and again as it continuously shouted in soul beast language:

Do you know how hard I worked to catch my lord's attention?!

Don't block this old man's path to ascension, bastard!

With its final move, Divine Dragon's Tail Whip, the sharp thorns on the Thorn Dragon's tail pierced through the Great Strength Gorilla's chest!

"We won!"

Na'er experienced the joy of battle and jumped up excitedly, giving Zhao Xuanzhen a heavy high-five.

Feiwu Haki Gorilla!

Haki Zhen and Haki Na were still more authoritative!

High above, Han Tianyi's mental projection praised them. "Both are combat-type soul masters. Their battle power far exceeds their Soul Power Level. Tianfeng picked up two treasures.

"With talent this monstrous, they must be trained ruthlessly..."

Han Tianyi's mental strength ranked first among the Spirit Pagoda's many Title Douluos. The Real Illusion was like a domain custom-made for him, allowing him to endlessly create soul beasts within it!

Dust billowed across the distant horizon. A massive rhinoceros herd pawed at the ground with iron hooves. The keratin layers covering them reflected the glow of the evening sun, while their skin bore patterns like flowing lava.

Plate Armor Rhinoceroses!

Pure defense-type soul beasts. Their thick skin could withstand the vast majority of soul skills. At this moment, three Thousand-Year Plate Armor Rhinoceroses led a herd of hundred-year rhinoceroses in a charge, like an indestructible wall.

The Plate Armor Rhinoceroses were not the entirety of the second wave. Four white streaks circled in the sky, each flap of their wings leaving a trail through the air. They were high-speed flying bird-type soul beasts!

Zhao Xuanzhen's pupils contracted as he saw the true forms of those white streaks—Swift Swallows!

Their attack power was weak and their defense was nearly zero, yet they were extreme pure-speed soul beasts, among the fastest on Douluo Continent!

Great Strength Gorillas, Plate Armor Rhinoceroses, Swift Swallows...

A team-building event for the Single Attribute Four Clans!

"Zhao Xuanzhen, how do we fight this..."

Standing side by side, Na'er pressed her red lips together. Plate Armor Rhinoceroses below and Swift Swallows above—the combined ground-and-air assault was absolutely greater than the sum of its parts!

"I'll handle the ones in the sky. We'll split the Plate Armor Rhinoceroses in half."

"Okay!"

After swiftly assigning roles, the two charged toward the Plate Armor Rhinoceroses at the same time!

Before Na'er, the Silver Dragon Spear spun into a wheel of light. Silver Dragon Slash tore open fine fissures, and the hundred-year rhinoceroses at the front were sliced into chunks by spatial blades. Na'er understood that Zhao Xuanzhen had taken on the Swift Swallows so she could fight without worries.

They were teammates. To reduce Zhao Xuanzhen's pressure on the ground, she resolutely met two Thousand-Year Plate Armor Rhinoceroses head-on!

"Qi Dong Shan He, disperse!"

Not far away, Zhao Xuanzhen spun his body and heavily stomped his right foot on the ground. A Taiji Diagram swept in all directions, black-and-white Qi energy swallowing the powerful bodies of several hundred-year Plate Armor Rhinoceroses. More rhinoceroses stepped over their own kind's corpses and continued advancing, their beastly eyes blazing with revenge.

At the same time, the Swift Swallows screamed as they dived. Like assassins observing their enemy's weaknesses from the shadows, they had waited for a long time for a single fatal strike!

All four Swift Swallows were Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. They would not cooperate by attacking only Zhao Xuanzhen. Instead, they split into two groups and swooped down to kill!

"Entangle, adhere, whip!"

A cold shout rippled outward. Before the Swift Swallows could shed the momentum of their dive, their entire bodies involuntarily reversed course, all targets changing to Zhao Xuanzhen!

Taiji Entangling Silk Force!

Forced off their trajectories, fury surged through the minds of the four Swift Swallows. They screeched toward the sky, and four afterimages appeared beside each of them, vastly expanding their attack range. It was as though twenty figures were diving on Zhao Xuanzhen at once.

Innate soul skill, Swift Doppelganger!

Their shrieks tore through the sky. Empowered by extreme speed, their feather blades sliced through the twilight, and the diving Swift Swallows stirred a gale that scattered the layered clouds.

The next second, the airflow suddenly froze. The Swift Swallows' white tail feathers still trembled, yet the wind pressure had already reversed. The gale transformed into an invisible prison, forcibly dragging every white shadow back to the ground!

"Xun Word, Wind Prison."

A wisp of deep blue covered his black eyes. Facing the combined ground-and-air attack of the soul beasts, Zhao Xuanzhen began using Bagua Qimen. The sky was no longer the territory of the Swift Swallows!

"Dui Word, Great Marsh!"

Water-like ripples spread across the ground. The Plate Armor Rhinoceroses sank into mud like quicksand. Their iron hooves, capable of breaking massive trees, fell into the marsh, leaving them unable to move an inch!

"Kun Word, Earthquake! Zhen Word, Thunderbolt!"

The rocky layers beneath them rose into roaring dragon heads, while thunderclouds gathering in the sky unleashed brilliant lightning. The painful howls of Plate Armor Rhinoceroses and Swift Swallows echoed in every direction!

"Manipulating Multiple Elements... isn't that the ability of the Silver Dragon King..."

Na'er widened her eyes in disbelief!

Her heart churned like a stormy sea, yet her dragon spear never stopped. With a tremor of the shaft, it moved like a swimming dragon. Na'er thrust the spear tip like lightning, relying on her nimble form to weave and turn as she struck the struggling Plate Armor Rhinoceroses. She stabbed through an eye and into the brain, killing each with a single blow!

Plate Armor Rhinoceroses, Swift Swallows—wiped out!

Just as the two thought the second wave had ended, a figure silently lunged at Na'er. The attack came from an exceptionally tricky angle, perfectly placed in her blind spot, but Zhao Xuanzhen caught it just in time.

That figure was actually a human. Black flames blazed fiercely on the long spear in his hands as it stabbed toward Na'er's chest!

At the critical moment, a crimson pillar of fire swept across and heavily struck the human. Li Word, Lieyan!

"What the hell is this thing?"

Zhao Xuanzhen gritted his teeth, while Na'er clenched hers. They raised their heads and looked around in perfect sync!

Han Tianyi's chuckling voice came from above. "Besides simulating soul beasts, the Real Illusion can also simulate soul masters.

"The Single Attribute Four Clans just don't feel complete without the Soul Breaking Spear. Wouldn't it be nice for the whole family to be together?"

"Xuanzhen, Na'er, you two are the most talented young soul masters this old man has seen in his life. The third wave will arrive shortly. Defeat it, and today's Real Illusion training will end here."

Na'er’s confidence soared as she threw two punches forward with a loud "Ha!" "Come at us! We're not afraid of anyone!"

"Your courage is commendable..."

Han Tianyi chuckled softly. A soul beast with a human head and snake body slowly formed. Her head was full of dark green snake hair, her pair of fangs resembled those of a wild boar, cold snake scales covered her face and neck, and the third eye between her brows was tightly shut.

The queen of snakes, Medusa!

Cultivation: ten thousand years!

"No way..."

Na'er sniffed, as though some glistening liquid were about to fall. She pointed at the Ten-Thousand-Year Medusa with one hand, her face twisting as she said:

"Defeat her, us?"

There was no further reply from the sky. Na'er hurriedly turned around and called anxiously, "Zhao..."

There was no one behind her!

Zhao Xuanzhen knew his limits. Genius was not the same as someone with cheats. He could handle those soul beasts that had just broken through a thousand years, but a one-ring soul master fighting a Ten-Thousand-Year Medusa...

He decisively put Na'er in front of him as a shield!

"Boom—"

A grayish-white beam shot toward her, and Na'er made a huge leap to dodge Medusa's Gaze!

"Zhao Xuanzhen, save save save save save!!!"

Without even looking back, Zhao Xuanzhen bolted away, wind under his feet. Better a dead fellow daoist than a dead poor daoist!

I can still struggle!

Illusion Brain Douluo was deeply gratified. Practical combat training, tempering mental strength, learning about soul beasts, and getting some exercise through running—wasn't that much better than running alone? He had never realized it before, but this old man was actually a genius educator!

The grueling soul master lives of Prisoner Zhen and Prisoner Na had begun!
