A Spear? A Scythe? Still Not Enough.

Lin Nuo and Lin Xiu were unaware that a gaze had already locked onto them.

They did not care about such matters, especially Lin Nuo; as long as his time was up, he would return to his own timeline, leaving the rest for Lin Xiu to handle.

As for Lin Xiu, if he truly encountered trouble, he would simply summon a Thunder Whale to deal with it.

Therefore, the only ones on the entire continent capable of threatening the pair were the Plane Master Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin. However, they were currently in deep slumber, only waking briefly after Tang Wuling awakened her martial soul, before returning to sleep until the Abyss Plane invasion truly began.

Following Leng Yaozhu, the two finally arrived before the ruins of the Spirit Ascension Platform. She turned back to look at Lin Nuo, who was standing beside Lin Xiu, and asked, "Are you certain you want him to participate?"

A one-ring Soul Elder entering this Spirit Ascension Platform would likely be crushed instantly, unless their mental power was exceptional, but even then, they would last at most a few minutes with zero gains.

Hearing this, Lin Xiu looked at Lin Nuo, signaling him to speak for himself.

Lin Nuo stepped forward and said, "Big Sister, if I can't win, I'll just withdraw myself. Don't worry too much about me."

Indeed, to him, Leng Yaozhu was like a big sister, and would be in the future as well, so calling her that was no big deal.

Nearby, upon hearing Jiahao address her sister as "Big Sister," Leng Yulai felt a surge of competitiveness and leaned in, "Little Brother Jiahao, call me sister too, and I'll protect you!"

"You?"

"That's right!" Leng Yulai patted her small chest confidently. "I'm very strong; protecting a tiny one-ring Soul Elder like you is more than enough."

Seeing this, Lin Nuo retorted, "Are you a three-ring Soul Elder?"

"No." Leng Yulai shook her head; she was only at level twenty-nine. "I'll break through soon."

"Then wait until you break through," Lin Nuo said, showing her no face at all.

"Fine, don't come begging for my protection then." Leng Yulai hadn't expected this guy to be so dismissive.

Seeing her sister get snubbed, Leng Yaozhu sighed helplessly, "Yulai, that's enough. Don't be difficult."

"Oh~" Leng Yulai let out a sound, glared fiercely at Lin Nuo, and returned to her sister's side.

"Let's prepare." After Leng Yaozhu said this to the two, she took her sister to prepare, then headed to their exclusive Soul Guidance Sleep Pod.

As for Lin Nuo and Lin Xiu, they naturally used the most standard Soul Guidance Sleep Pods.

At this moment, Lin Nuo leaned toward Lin Xiu and asked via telepathy, "Are you sure my face won't be displayed?"

"Rest assured, I used my authority to alter your facial features. Even machine detection will only register a generic face, making it impossible to identify you," Lin Xiu replied.

Lin Nuo nodded, then entered the Spirit Ascension Platform with Lin Xiu. In any case, they were just going in to farm monsters for experience and then transfer it to other soul fragments—commonly known as shared experience.

Just as the staff were operating the controls to send them into the Spirit Ascension Platform, Qiangu Dongfeng barged in and issued an order: "Send them to different spawn points."

"Young Master Dongfeng, this is probably..." several staff members began to protest.

They were silenced by a single glare from him. "This is an order. Do you understand?"

Faced with such power, the staff chose to comply. Qiangu Dongfeng stared fixedly at the masked Lin Nuo on the screen and sneered coldly, "A one-ring Soul Elder? I'll make sure you leave in disgrace!"

From above, Qiangu Dieting watched his son's behavior in silence, unsure of how to judge the situation.

Inside a strange forest, the masked Lin Nuo appeared. The moment he realized he was alone, he understood that someone had set him up.

"How petty," Lin Nuo remarked, immediately summoning the Holy Spear of Time. His physical body was instantly reinforced, and his five senses reached their peak. The Body Martial Soul was truly monstrous; once activated, it granted the ability to challenge those of higher ranks.

He was currently a one-ring Soul Elder, but he had the strength to fight a three-ring Soul Elder; whether he could win was another matter.

On the other side, the moment Lin Xiu realized he was alone, he also understood that he and Ah Nuo had been set up by someone. He really wanted to take his scythe and cut that guy's backside off!

But before that, Lin Xiu looked up at the creature that had appeared out of nowhere. A scythe, equal in length to a spear, dark in color and embedded with a red gem in the center, appeared in his hand. Three soul rings slowly floated beneath his feet: purple, purple, purple.

"Three thousand-year soul rings?" Seeing the three thousand-year soul rings beneath Lin Xiu's feet on the screen, Qiangu Dongfeng's expression turned incredibly ugly. His own three soul rings weren't as dazzling as this guy's, and his eyes were filled with jealousy.

When he saw the single hundred-year soul ring beneath Lin Nuo's feet, his jealousy vanished, replaced by schadenfreude. He wanted to see how long this one-ring Soul Elder could last.

Holding the Holy Spear of Time, Lin Nuo walked slowly through the forest, observing the changes in the environment through his heightened senses.

Swish!

A massive baboon leaped out from the forest, baring its huge fangs as it lunged at him.

Seeing the giant baboon pouncing on him, Lin Nuo's first thought was: Isn't this the God Slayer?

The lifelong enemy of Huo Yuhao, a soul beast that had nearly killed a god single-handedly.

He immediately tightened his grip on the spear and thrust it forward. The baboon, which had expected to kill the human youth instantly, suddenly felt something wrong. Why was its body becoming so sluggish, while the human in front of it moved with such incredible speed?

Before the baboon could process this, Lin Nuo's spear had already pierced its skull, turning it into specks of starlight.

Meanwhile, the soul beasts surrounding Lin Xiu had already been slaughtered by him. His speed was as ghostly as a phantom, making it difficult for the observing staff and Qiangu Dongfeng to track him.

"Is this guy an agility-type Soul Elder?" Qiangu Dongfeng asked the staff member beside him.

The staff member analyzed the data and replied, "Young Master Dongfeng, he is likely not an agility-type, but a power-attack-type Soul Elder."

"But his speed just now was too bizarre!" Qiangu Dongfeng refused to believe a power-attack-type could be as fast as an agility-type. When he saw Lin Nuo instantly kill a hundred-year baboon, his expression darkened further. "Are you sure this guy is a one-ring Soul Elder?"

Since when did one-ring Soul Elders become so powerful that they could kill hundred-year soul beasts in a single strike?

"Young Master Dongfeng, according to the analysis, he is indeed a one-ring Soul Elder." The staff member didn't understand why the young master was reacting so strongly; what kind of grudge could he possibly have?

At this time, Qiangu Dieting, who was also observing, received a report from his subordinate. After reading the information, he looked up at the man. "Are you certain?"

"Yes, Tower Master. These two truly seem to have appeared out of thin air," the subordinate replied. "That is what our investigation indicates."

"It seems they were sent by some reclusive faction to gain experience." Qiangu Dieting stared intently at the performance of the two figures projected before him, slowly delivering his judgment. Although Lin Nuo wore a mask that obscured his features, observing him from head to toe, he was at most six years old, while Lin Xiu was at most eleven or twelve.

Thus, there was only one reason for the two to appear in Shrek City: to enroll in Shrek Academy.

"Shrek, huh..." Qiangu Dieting sighed with emotion, then stopped watching and turned off the projection.

A scythe, a spear; though their Soul Power Level was sufficient, in his eyes, they would ultimately be unable to go very far.
