Stars Shine Bright!

Whether Ye Qingcang's passion had truly faded or not, only Ye Qingcang himself knew.

What is said may not be the truth.

This is a truth that every adult understands.

However, even though his passion hadn't faded, Ye Qingcang had already passed the age of going all out without a care in the world. Therefore, for him now, moderation was obviously more important than victory or defeat, or at least more important than a simple victory or defeat. So, when he stood on the arena, he did not choose to attack first as usual. Instead, he calmly spread his hands forward, looked at the ten familiar Blue Tyrant Academy students opposite him, and chose a defensive strategy.

At the same time, he encouraged, "Please!"

Ye Qingcang's wording is always precise.

Don't underestimate it just because it's only one word.

It was this one word that acknowledged the ten students as opponents; at least on this stage, they were Ye Qingcang's rivals.

This is different from previous Monthly Competition.

In previous Monthly Competition, I received more guidance than instruction.

Insightful and comprehensive guidance.

They had all suffered at Ye Qingcang's hands and witnessed his unpredictable tactics. Even if Ye Qingcang could defeat them without using these tactics, they had undoubtedly broadened their horizons considerably.

Therefore, the real distance needs to be widened.

A gong in front of you, a drum on the other side.

Let's have a real fight.

This is the first time yet.

"Since that's the case..."

"Brothers, stop hiding!"

"Show all your cards you've got!"

"If we wait too long, we might miss our chance!"

On the other side of the Metal Arena, a short-haired youth standing at the front of the group, hundreds of meters away from Ye Qingcang, laughed loudly.

Take a slow breath.

The lungs are slightly bulging.

The body rises steadily under the influence of the breath.

"Click!"

"Click!"

"Collapse!"

The bones are interwoven in layers.

It was like a loose chain suddenly being tightened.

In a mere second, like a string of firecrackers going off, the crackling sounds were abrupt and continuous, totaling two hundred and six.

Not a single word more, not a single word less.

To outsiders, it was incomprehensible, but to those in the know, it was a completely different story. Especially the last muffled thud, which sounded like a fully drawn bowstring being released into the void. Even just listening to it gave one a sudden feeling of clarity and understanding.

"The Tendons and Bones Resonance!"

"The Stellar Martial Arts Previous Chapter Fourth Section is complete!"

Ning Rongrong's voice trembled slightly, and her breathing was noticeably unsteady.

But at this moment, no one would blame her for her silent whispers anymore.

Those who had anticipated Ye Qingcang were not surprised.

Those who knew nothing about the matter, including Zhu Zhuqing, remained silent.

Regardless of how well the short-haired youth opposite him, who appeared to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, had tempered his bones—whether they were iron bones, silver bones, gold bones, or even the jade bones that only Ye Qingcang and Violet had cultivated—and regardless of how well he had tempered his tendons—whether they were python tendons, dragon tendons, or even the dragon tendons or phoenix tendons that only Ye Qingcang and Violet had cultivated—one prerequisite was known: the opponent had already perfected the Tendons and Bones Chapter and could Soul Ancestor with one hand!

A powerful force that flows throughout the entire body!

A speed that is both lightning fast and perfectly controlled!

In addition, there is a body of flesh and skin that can withstand large siege weapons like crossbows, and a skeleton that can completely absorb the impact without leaving any internal injuries!

Without Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill in hand.

Anyone below the Soul King level will die.

Although they all knew that the students on the Heaven Ranking were exceptionally strong—otherwise, the law of the jungle at the Blue Tyrant Academy would have been overturned long ago by the ordinary students below them, since no one likes being ridden on—they truly hadn't expected these people to be so powerful.

And this is only considered stretching.

Similar to the warm-up exercises before free time in physical education class.

There's still a long way to go before things get serious.

However, it will be soon.

Because this is a battle.

Because this short-haired young man was aware that he was currently in a vulnerable position.

The weak should not keep the strong waiting.

Not only because such behavior is suspected of disrespecting the strong, but also because it is easy to provoke the impatience of the strong. If the strong follow this impatience and take the initiative to attack the weak, the weak are very likely to be eliminated before they even have a chance to fight back.

Therefore, when an opportunity presents itself, it's best to seize it quickly.

Don't wait until you're instantly defeated by your opponent before making excuses.

This principle applies to competitions.

It is also suitable for field combat.

Therefore, after stretching his muscles and bones, a scorching aura erupted, along with a highly active Soul Power force, which pulsed vividly in a way that clearly employed special techniques, and a fierce Artistic Conception unfolded.

Five Soul Ring slowly rose up.

One white, one purple, and three black.

It looks quite out of place.

But it was enough to make all the viewers gasp in shock.

However, the short-haired youth didn't care about the audience's reaction. He raised his hand, gently grasped the air, and the next second, a Tiger Head Gilded Gold Spear fell into his palm out of thin air. The moment his hand gripped the metal spear, it not only produced a metallic sound like two pieces of steel rubbing against each other, but also formed an illusory Soul Power double-winged tiger behind him. His spiritual power was connected with the spear in his hand. Just one glance was enough to make a large number of the surrounding audience fall into a hallucination.

"Cough cough... Spear Intent!"

"And there's the Domain!"

In the top-floor private room of the Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Spirit Department of the Outer Court, suddenly coughed. Several elders, such as Old Song, Old Lin, Old Gong, and even Xuan Zi, also coughed along with him.

Only a handful of people didn't cough.

For example, Mu En, the current Sea God Pavilion Master.

For example, Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Tool Department at the Outer Court.

There are also Qian Duoduo, Cai Meier, and others.

However, the reactions varied.

"This little guy's been hiding it well!" Xuan Zi sighed, somewhat speechlessly, after taking a sip of his drink. "I've never seen him have these things before... While it's partly because he hasn't encountered any strong enemies along the way, it's still quite impressive that he's managed to control the common youthful urge to show off... Unfortunately, he ran into that Little Monster. These things alone are far from enough!"

"Even 'Little Monster' doesn't do him justice."

"It should be called a monster."

"An unprecedented prodigy."

Standing nearby, Lin Huiqun, who was in charge of the logistics department of the Shrek Academy, couldn't help but correct him. "Letting him participate is no different from pre-determining the champion, especially in this Second Division. Even if he plays alone, no one can beat him in the team competition!"

"That's right." Cai Meier added with a wry smile, "Xiaotao and the others fought against Xuan Zi before. Against Xuan Zi at full strength, they couldn't even last half a minute, let alone a minute... Only by defeating Xuan Zi can they possibly defeat Ye Qingcang. If you ask me, let's wait and see during the Third Division..."

There was a ten-year gap between the Second Division and Third Division.

Ten years is enough for Soul Master to develop most of their abilities.

Even those titled Douluo who started relatively late should realize their potential by now.

Ten exceptionally talented individuals who have undergone special training.

It is indeed possible to defeat Ye Qingcang.

It is worth mentioning the definition of "the pinnacle".

Only Soul Douluo under the age of 25, like Zhang Lexuan, would be included. Therefore, even with the size of the Shrek Academy, or even if all the forces on the Dou Two side were gathered together, they still wouldn't be able to fill the ten spots that should have been filled.

"It'll be better when we get to the Four Divisions."

"Under 50 years old"

"Upon closer examination, quite a few titled Douluo could meet the criteria for elimination."

"As for the Five Divisions... there's no way we'll see that."

"The age requirement is 50 or older."

"That little guy Ye Qingcang can't get up there at all."

Xuan Zi took a bite of a chicken leg.

Whether you call it self-comfort or consoling others, he was talking to himself, saying things that made everyone else feel relaxed.

And at the scene.

On the Metal Arena.

The short-haired youth had no interest in paying attention to these words that he couldn't hear at all.

A long spear.

A tiger's roar suddenly erupted.

When muscles and bones are in harmony.

A sound like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger suddenly rang out.

at the same time.

Behind him, the other nine people also released their respective Martial Soul, including all the corresponding methods and even trump cards.

Swords and blades flashed across the sky.

Longbow suspended by a string.

The fire crow flaps its wings, with three legs under its belly.

At a glance, everyone has a Qi and Blood Furnace.

More than half of them achieved the ability to Tendons and Bones Resonance.

Six highly skilled martial artists whose Tendons and Bones Resonance in unison.

What does this mean?

These six powerful experts, whose Tendons and Bones Resonance, can completely ignore Soul Guidance Cannon Shell of level five and below. Even if they do not have the corresponding Soul Skill, they can withstand them with their own superior physical qualities!

With a powerful charge, they can shatter steel more than ten meters thick!

The speed of a 100-meter sprint can be reduced to less than two seconds!

It starts at over 50 meters per second!

The key point is: it can turn at any time, and it's not a linear motion as you might imagine!

It can be said that even some Soul Emperor with extreme stat increases would only be torn apart by their bare hands in front of them. Only Soul Saint who have opened their Martial Soul Avatar can suppress them, and this does not even take into account the Soul Skill they possess.

In addition, there are four other Domain.

However, none of these four were exceptions.

Both are Domain related to weaponry.

One Tiger Head Gilded Gold Spear, one North Wind Saber, one Wave Cutting Cliff Destroying Sword, and finally the Sun Piercing Bow, an extremely rare ranged attack weapon.

"This little guy is not bad."

"It has the same charm I had back then."

In the private room where the Spirit Hall was located, Guang Ling Douluo was talking to himself.

Look down at the skinny young man holding a longbow.

The Guang Ling Douluo's eyes grew increasingly kind.

Although the attributes are different.

He is light and ice.

The little guy below represents light and fire.

However, the principles of bow-type Martial Soul are the same, and they all share the common element of light. If you look closely, they do have a strong master-disciple resemblance.

As for whether this master-disciple relationship actually exists.

It's a self-perceived master-disciple relationship.

They are still widely recognized as master and apprentice.

Right now, none of that matters!

The important thing is the battle below!

"Tiger Spirit Power!"

"Bloody battle!"

"Sharpness!"

"Hundred Battles Warrior!"

Four consecutive Soul Skill provided the short-haired youth with a 70% increase in strength, a 15% increase in damage reduction, a 30% increase in resistance, a 45% increase in negative effects, a 135% increase in Martial Soul hardness, and a 70% increase in Martial Soul flexibility. Finally, there was an enhancement of qi. Of course, this enhancement of qi was not without reason. The short-haired youth had completely attached qi to his Martial Soul, so naturally, the destructive power of his Martial Soul was increased.

If he were to split and extract the protective energy.

Cover other parts of the body.

Although its destructive power was not as high as it is now.

But the defense will be stronger than it is now.

However, to be fair, only the students of the Blue Tyrant Academy dare to play like this. They don't have a single offensive Soul Skill; all of them are for self-enhancement. At most, they add two defensive skills or neutral conversion skills. Then, their output relies entirely on the martial arts skills they have learned, which are the ones Ye Qingcang put in the treasure vault.

But no matter what, it is truly strong.

Moreover, it is relatively versatile.

Just like right now.

The completion of the Tendons and Bones Chapter doesn't count as a special ability; it's more like having Golden Muscles Jade Bones. These abilities require a lot of elixirs, like dragon blood and phoenix blood, which are measured in kilograms at this stage. You could spend a thousand credits and barely see a ripple. Even among the Blue Tyrant Academy teachers who graduated early and became full-fledged instructors, only one in a hundred could develop extraordinary abilities before and after the Tendons and Bones Chapter and Tendons and Bones Chapter. There were only a dozen or so people in the entire academy who achieved this. Therefore, we won't consider Golden Muscles Jade Bones here. We'll only talk about normal completion. The standard force under the Tendons and Bones Resonance should be 36,000 kilograms, with a very few students fluctuating.

For example, someone born with superhuman strength could have as much as 72,000.

For example, it's perfectly normal for someone with a congenital defect to have a score of 30,000.

Add 70% of the power.

If there were another Support Type Soul Master.

Like Ning Fengzhi.

Give a 70% power boost.

This is equivalent to a 140% increase in power.

Even Soul Saint's Martial Soul Avatar can be utterly destroyed by you.

However, we've come this far.

And very few people defeat their enemies simply by brute force.

Everyone will use more sophisticated methods.

For example...

"The Wind and Cloud Thousands of Miles!"

He held the spear horizontally, and thrust it out with what appeared to be a slow but actually fast motion.

His powerful mental energy erupted like a geyser.

A strange phenomenon suddenly appeared before Zhu Zhuqing and the others.

On a solitary mountain peak, endless clouds and mist, accompanied by a fierce wind, surged toward them. Before they could break free, their perspective abruptly shifted, stretching upwards until above the clouds, a massive, mountain-like winged tiger slowly opened its eyes, glancing down. Their own figures suddenly appeared in the tiger's reflective, mirror-like eyes, and their consciousness seemed to quietly freeze.

It's like someone climbing a cliff.

It's like your legs suddenly go weak just from looking down at someone.

Some people have megalophobia.

Some people have trypophobia.

But no matter what the illness is, there are always things to be afraid of.

The principle behind artistic Artistic Conception is just like this.

He condensed his insights into this single strike.

To distract the opponent.

Then, without realizing it, he died from that attack.

Or rather, only the pain of losing Goddess of Life can pull these people who are immersed in the illusion out of their reverie, but unfortunately, it is already too late.

but...

"It's still not enough!"

"That's too broad!"

"A bluff, utterly pathetic!"

A giant hand descended from the sky and lifted the mountain-like two-winged tiger up, crushing it into powder with a gentle touch.

But what if this scene were to happen in real life?

That long spear, which seemed to possess the power to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger, was held in Ye Qingcang's hand. No matter how sharp the spear's energy was, it could not hurt Ye Qingcang's hand. In fact, it looked rather silly and cute. It seems that all felines have a Destiny of having their necks bitten, and Ye Qingcang's tiger's mouth part seemed to have really bitten this tiger and pressed it firmly in his palm.

Then, with a flick of his wrist.

The short-haired youth suddenly felt like a kite with a broken string.

He floated down to the ground below the arena.

They were powerless to resist throughout the entire process.
