The manner of their deaths was gruesome and unbearable to witness.

At this moment, Ying Luohong, Wang Tianyu, Elder Tree, and even the Sea God Pavilion Master, who were still watching the battle, were all shocked.

Tens of thousands of people die before your eyes, and you don't even blink?

Lin Yuan closed his eyes and used the Voice of the Stars to carefully sense the backlash brought about by this large-scale slaughter.

'Alas, virtual is still virtual. Even if the Simulation is incredibly lifelike, it's still not in the same dimension. This slaughter is more like a mental shock to one's willpower; as long as you endure it, it's over.'

Lin Yuan thought this to himself truthfully.

Meanwhile, in the office of the Dean of the Shrek Outer Court.

"I don't think we need to undergo the Blood Trial at all." The Elder Tree shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"We underestimated Lin Yuan. We originally thought his Goodness would cause him pain and even turmoil when faced with killing, especially the gruesome manner of the death. But now it seems that it's really unnecessary. However, we can also infer from this that Lin Yuan has already gone a long way in terms of that special cultivation method. Presumably, the pain he has endured on the path of cultivation far exceeds this trial."

"Hmm." Wang Tianyu nodded.

"In that case, I don't think Lin Yuan needs to proceed to the third trial. The third trial is about combat strength and being tested under extreme circumstances. Lin Yuan has already proven himself in his battle with Vice Pavilion Master Yi, and Lin Yuan 'll be going on Heaven Fighter mission soon, so there's no need for him to waste his energy on unnecessary exertion."

At this point, Wang Tianyu looked at the Sea God Pavilion Master who had been silent, and saw the latter nod.

At this moment, while he was in the midst of the Blood Trial, considering whether to cremate the corpses or bury them on the spot with his Soul Power, a dark red door appeared. The door was pushed open from the inside out, and Wang Tianyu walked out. As soon as he stepped out, a strong stench of blood hit him.

Lin Yuan Lin Yuan looked at a large hall in the Douluo World Training Hall behind Wang Tianyu, and instantly understood the meaning behind Wang Tianyu's appearance. He blinked.

"Sect Master Wang, wasn't it said that once the Blood Trial begins, one cannot exit unless they die?"

"Yes, that's only from the students' perspective. If we don't say it that way, the students undergoing the trial will still be in the Douluo World mindset. Um, this matter needs to be kept secret, Lin Yuan, you mustn't tell outsiders."

Wang Tianyu said this without batting an eye.

Lin Yuan: 6

"Alright, Lin Yuan, come to the Dean of the Foreign Languages Department's office later. The office is located at..."

"Forget it, Pavilion Master Wang. Liu Feng hasn't passed the test yet, has he? Hmm, I'll wait for Liu Feng."

"I see. Well, that's fine then. Anyway, you'll be watching that kid's performance with us in the office. I have to say, he did very well. Although he lacks a bit of talent, he has a lot of willpower and is a rare talent."

Wang Tianyu laughed a few times, making random hand gestures in the air.

Lin Yuan soon heard the notification tone.

[Live streaming access to the Blood Trial, the exclusive area for Shrek and Tang Sect members in Douluo World, is now available to you.]

"You can watch it directly in the Douluo World or outside using your Soul Tool later." After saying this, Wang Tianyu exited the Douluo World.

'Indeed, high-tech.'

Lin Yuan sighed in admiration, then thought for a moment and decided to leave the Douluo World.

He randomly found a sofa on the edge of the room, adjusted to a comfortable position, and started watching the live stream about Liu Feng while holding his Soul Tool.

Liu Feng's Blood Trial, First Stage.

Bang!

A figure crashed into the wall, covered in blood. Liu Feng's condition could only be described as horrific. His entire body was covered with countless cuts, some so deep that the bone was visible. But the enemies Liu Feng faced did not seem to be in a hurry to kill Liu Feng immediately; instead, they wanted to torture him slowly.

"Without the Little Dragon God's assistance, Liu Feng is facing a life-or-death situation against three level 29 Soul Grandmaster," Lin Yuan muttered to himself.

' Liu Feng was utterly powerless against multiple opponents. His first Soul Skill, White Dragon Thrust, would launch the enemy into the air and then slam them down, but if the enemy was spread out, it was useless. Even his second Soul Skill White Dragon Return, which stimulated his own bloodline and temporarily granted him the White Dragon King's characteristics to enhance his attacks, was ineffective.'

While Lin Yuan was muttering to himself, he had already begun to activate the [Formless] ability of the Voice of the Stars, which would require some time to prepare.

"Heh heh, useless brat. You're just a second-ring Soul Grandmaster, yet you insist on recklessly attempting the Blood Trial."

"But I have no talent. Someone like me who has no talent can only try my best to prove my worth." Liu Feng's face was pale, and thick blood dripped from his hair. His right eye was stinging from the blood and dirt, causing him to shed bloody tears.

His left chest was slightly sunken, and several of his ribs were broken.

Liu Feng used the Silver Dragon Spear to support his body, his young face full of stubbornness, and charged at the enemy in front of him once again.

White Dragon Return!

White Dragon Thrust!

A final burst of energy before death.

At this moment, Liu Feng emitted a series of dragon roars, and the originally dull Silver Dragon Spear seemed to hear its master's indomitable spirit, emitting bursts of white light.

Liu Feng gritted his teeth and started running again. In a flash, he appeared behind the person who had just mocked him, and then with a flick of his spear, sent him flying.

"How is this possible?! How can you still have Soul Power?!"

The enemy's eyes were filled with terror, but what awaited him was the heavy slam of the Silver Dragon Spear.

Bang!

The man landed, his breath ceased, and he died instantly!

Liu Feng also exhausted his last bit of strength and collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Meanwhile, Wang Tianyu and the others, who were still paying attention to Liu Feng's [Blood Trial], felt a sense of relief as they watched Liu Feng fight to the death.

It is truly rare to see someone so young display such a strong fighting spirit.

To become strong, one must have a reason to become strong, and an unwavering determination to become strong.

Although his talent is poor, I can still at least keep an eye on him a few more times.

"I remember, his name is Liu Feng." At this moment, Ying Luohong suddenly spoke up, "I have a deep memory of him. He chose the 'fighting will' assessment, and his mentor was Xiao Qi."

"Xiao Qi, a graduate of the Inner Academy." Elder Tree nodded. "I think it's good enough. Release him. His fighting spirit is fine. Whether he can develop well in the future depends on his opportunities."

"Yes, I think this child is lucky. Don't forget, Lin Yuan has already launched a foundation program. This is a very valuable opportunity for a child with low talent but strong willpower. In the past, the Academy never offered such treatment. These kinds of children could only desperately try to show themselves in order to gain the teacher's attention."

Wang Tianyu nodded.

"Okay... wait, teachers, look, what's going on?!"

Just then, Ying Luohong, who was leaning against the window, suddenly shouted loudly.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white energy mixed with blood rising into the sky from the west teaching building. The clouds under the clear sky suddenly shone brightly, as if endless light was pouring out from them, and an ancient and sacred melody rang out!

The sudden turn of events drew the attention of everyone within a radius of hundreds of miles, including Shrek students, Spirit Pagoda staff, and important figures from the Federation. At that moment, they, like Ying Luohong and the others, looked up at the sky.

A phantom figure, sitting cross-legged and dressed in a loose, flowing white robe, appeared in the sky.

He was slender and tall, with six arms, bare legs, and a hood that hung down slightly.

"Compassion!"

"He has appeared!"

"Has someone prayed to Compassion?"

"Foolish! You're asking for trouble... Aren't you afraid of turning yourself into a monster by praying with Compassion?"

At this moment, all the students at the Shrek Academy were in an uproar when they saw Lin Yuan display the Voice of the Stars [Formless] ability!

Some call Him "Compassion," believing His appearance is the embodiment of universal compassion; others call Him "Calamity Ancestor," believing that all suffering originates from Him, and that those who fail despite receiving blessings from Compassion are the best evidence of this.

The next second, He lowered His eyes.

Meanwhile, in the dean's office of the outer academy, Ying Luohong's mouth dropped open the moment she saw the enormous figure.

"This... this is?!"

"Compassion..."

Wang Tianyu's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were filled with fear the moment he saw the enormous figure:

"During this time, He has appeared frequently, and is hailed by the world as the divine [Compassion], while others call Him [Calamity Ancestor]." At this point, Wang Tianyu looked respectfully at the veiled woman and asked:

"Have you sensed Him?"

Ling Zichen shook his head.

Wang Tianyu couldn't help but gasp. Not only did the Pavilion Master not sense it, but even Soul Guidance Technology, radar, and detectors couldn't detect it. What did that mean?

This shows that this person's strength has exceeded their imagination; even "godlike" is not enough to describe it!

The Elder Tree and its coffin is closed, its fate sealed.

"This is a deity, not the Divine Rank we've reached through cultivation, but a true god." At this moment, Elder Tree looked at Wang Tianyu, then at the white and blood-red pillar of light shooting into the sky from the west of the teaching building, and said:

"I've heard that in ancient times, there was a place called [Slaughter City], where the legacy of a god is said to reside. Our Blood Trial was created based on Slaughter City. Little Wang, do you think there is such a god, the god of Slaughter City?"

"The god of the Slaughter City?" Wang Tianyu shook his head. "I don't think so. The Slaughter City, as its name suggests, how could it possibly be associated with Compassion?"

"Little Wang, don't forget, everything has two extremes: water and fire, Goodness and Evil, life and destruction. Do you think Compassion might be the other side of that god in the City of Slaughter City?"

Before Wang Tianyu could speak, Ying Luohong interjected:

"But teacher, the Blood Trial is in the Douluo World. According to you, does that mean [Compassion] used the Blood Trial as his own trial ground?"

Are you kidding me!

Ying Luohong felt utterly absurd.

Could a god possibly enter the Douluo World directly?

That's a virtual world!

They're not even on the same level.

The Elder Tree said in a deep voice:

"No, according to legend, if someone's faith moves heaven and earth, it may even bring down the gaze of the gods."

"Lowered their gaze? So, Elder Tree, you mean that Liu Feng's belief has caused the gods to lower their gaze?"
