Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring Makes Its Debut!

Upon hearing Leng Yaozhu's words, Gu An's eyes lit up sharply.

He jerked his head up, only to have the back of his skull collide with something impossibly soft, which sent him bouncing right back.

His face was buried once again.

He was completely bewildered.

Leng Yaozhu raised her hand and gave Gu An a light, firm pat on the head.

"Be serious."

"If you want to play around, do it when we get home, but make sure you don't lose."

Her voice lowered, carrying a hint of genuine concern.

"If it really comes down to it, use what I gave you."

"Just don't get hurt!"

Gu An savored the lingering sensation on his forehead from that softness for a moment before nodding with a solemn expression.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

He only ever despised his enemies strategically while respecting them tactically.

After all, one of his opponents was the biological daughter of God King Tang, and the other was the Child of Destiny of the Douluo Continent.

With these two together, who knew what kind of accidents might occur at any given moment.

It would be all too easy to capsize in the gutter if he wasn't careful.

Gu An had no intention of letting that happen.

At the entrance of the Soul Fighting Zone, a large crowd filed in one after another.

This soul fight concerned the reputation of Shrek Academy, so they naturally took it very seriously.

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao walked at the very front of the group, their strides filled with an irrepressible confidence.

It came back to the same point.

Not to mention that they already held the advantage in a two-on-one fight, they now had the added boost of soul guidance devices.

Soul guidance devices—what could a six-year-old brat possibly use to block that?

How could this brat possibly win!

Seeing them arrive, Gu An sprang up from Leng Yaozhu's embrace.

His World Consciousness was practically howling for sustenance.

He had to earn a good haul of "milk money."

With a tap of his feet, he darted toward the Soul Fighting Platform first.

The design of the Soul Fighting Platform at Shrek Academy was quite abstract.

On both sides stood a massive statue, each holding a giant Stone Sword, with the Sword Tip pointing toward the other.

Gu An didn't know why Shrek Academy had designed the platform this way, but it gave him an excellent opportunity to show off.

He leaped into the air and landed steadily on the Sword Tip of one of the Stone Swords.

With his hands behind his back, his robes fluttered gently in the wind.

He looked down calmly at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong below, waiting for their arrival.

He was indeed not very tall, and standing on the massive Sword Tip made him look even more petite.

He lacked the high-spirited vigor typical of a youth, simply because he was too young!

But his appearance made up for all of that.

He possessed both the cuteness of a child and the mystery of an expert.

He was the spitting image of a powerful master with a youthful face, just without the white hair.

In the stands, Xiao Xiao held her small hands to her chest, stars sparkling in her large eyes.

The corners of Leng Yaozhu's mouth curled slightly, a look of satisfaction flashing through her phoenix eyes.

The reactions of the two women proved that Gu An's display was a success.

On the Shrek Academy side, the corners of Mu Jin's and Wang Yan's mouths couldn't help but twitch.

"Is there something wrong with this kid's brain?"

"He really knows how to put on a show!"

As for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, their reactions to the scene were completely different.

A flash of envy crossed Huo Yuhao's eyes.

This posture of standing high above and looking down upon the masses, this natural air of an expert—when would he ever possess such a thing?

Wang Dong, however, wasn't buying it at all.

He was trying to show off right in front of her.

This was her turf, Shrek Academy; she had never been treated with such pretentiousness since she was a child.

However, deep down, she couldn't help but feel that standing up there actually looked quite cool.

What was going on?

The two exchanged a glance and, without a second thought, leaped onto the Soul Fighting Platform simultaneously.

They landed steadily on the ground opposite Gu An, standing side by side.

The moment they touched down, Gu An, who had been standing with his back to them on the sword tip, slowly turned around.

His gaze descended from the heights, falling upon Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

"You've come." He then shook his head, "But you shouldn't have."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong looked at each other, black lines appearing on their foreheads.

They didn't understand?

What was this "come" and "shouldn't have come" nonsense? What was he even talking about!

They couldn't keep up with his act, and they had no idea what he was rambling about.

Wang Dong, in particular, had no desire to bicker with Gu An; she stomped forward and brought her hands together in front of her.

"What kind of gibberish are you spouting?"

"Let's fight!"

The wings of the Radiant Goddess Butterfly burst open behind her, the jewel-blue wings refracting brilliant light under the sun.

One yellow and one purple soul ring rose from beneath her feet, pulsing slowly.

Seeing that Wang Dong had already made her move, Huo Yuhao naturally couldn't just stand by.

He also released his own martial soul.

A faint glimmer flashed through his eyes as the Spirit Eye martial soul manifested, and a white soul ring rose from beneath his feet.

A ten-year soul ring, blindingly white.

Yet, there was no trace of inferiority on Huo Yuhao's face; he knew better than anyone what this white soul ring represented.

"First Soul Skill! Spiritual Detection Sharing!"

An invisible force of spiritual power radiated from Huo Yuhao, connecting to Wang Dong's consciousness.

A three-dimensional image of the entire Soul Fighting Platform immediately appeared in Wang Dong's field of vision; Gu An's position, distance, and posture were all clearly presented in her mind.

Gu An, who had been amusing himself, sighed as he looked at these two unromantic fellows.

"Sigh, you two are truly boring."

He leaped down from the tip of the Stone Sword, landing steadily on the floor of the Soul Fighting Platform.

"Since you want to leave the stage early, I shall grant your wish."

He raised his right hand, palm facing upward.

Beneath his feet, a Dragon-Phoenix Phantom appeared out of thin air.

A dragon and a phoenix, chasing each other's tails, circled slowly around Gu An.

The dragon's roar was deep, the phoenix's cry clear and crisp; the two sounds intertwined, echoing throughout the entire Soul Fighting Zone.

A translucent white flute appeared in Gu An's hand, a faint golden light flowing across its body.

At the same time, a soul ring rose slowly from beneath Gu An's feet.

Black as ink!

A black, ten-thousand-year soul ring swirled slowly around Gu An's body.

The corners of Gu An's mouth curled up slightly as his gaze swept across the faces of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

"Gu An, a one-ring all-around Battle Soul Master."

"Please, enlighten me."

After witnessing that soul ring, Shrek Academy fell silent.

Until...

"Ten... ten-thousand-year soul ring?!!!"

"A ten-thousand-year first ring----!!!!"

Someone screamed, their voice so sharp it cracked.

The next second, everyone seemed to snap back to reality.

The sound of people gasping in unison filled the air, "Hiss."

Whose first soul ring is ten thousand years old?

This was no longer a matter of being a genius; this was something that simply shouldn't exist.

How could a six-year-old child's body possibly withstand the impact of a ten-thousand-year soul ring?

Mu En's hands gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly.

Even with his vast experience, he was still shocked.

Now he understood why Leng Yaozhu, that Limit Douluo, had been so confident from start to finish, and why there hadn't been a trace of worry on her face.

Damn it.

If they had a student at Shrek Academy whose first soul ring was ten thousand years old, he would be just as confident.

Perhaps even more so than her!

Xuanzi's mouth hung open, his jaw nearly hitting the floor.

"This... this! This isn't right!"

"I must have forgotten to eat and am seeing things!"

"Why isn't such a promising talent from my Shrek!"

"..."

While the others were shocked beyond measure, Mu En, after the initial shock subsided and his emotions leveled out, felt a slight sense of relief.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, he had let that kid Huo Yuhao learn how to use soul guidance devices.

Otherwise, they really might have capsized in this match.
