Myriad Appearances Town Inner Courtyard (IV)

"A qualitative transformation, not a quantitative increase..." Ling Luochen, unable to move due to the frozen space, quickly realized after the initial shock that this was a precious guidance. Even with his pupils frozen, the thoughtful light in his eyes and the consciousness in his mind remained. "Communicate with heaven and earth, let heaven and earth accept me..."

Before he knew it, Ling Luochen had already been able to speak.

Even though her body was unable to move, the space on her face that was sealed off by the ice-blue matte finish gradually lost its blue gel-like appearance and returned to its normal color. This symbolized that Ling Luochen was gradually regaining a negligible initiative in this icy battlefield.

"Using Martial Soul... to communicate with Heaven and Earth..."

"Ice... water... transformation..."

"Space... matter?"

"Ice... is it an element or matter?"

Ling Luochen muttered to himself, his temples suddenly turning white.

Three inches in total is her current limit.

Layers of ice crystals, like eggshells, appear and then break.

His eyes were lifeless, and his mind was blank.

Follow your instincts; there's no need for logic.

"Enlightenment..." Yan Shaozhe was utterly astonished by this rare case, one in a thousand years. But even more astonished were Old Song and Xuan Zi, for these two Sea God Pavilion Elder knew very well how much Ling Luochen's strength would increase after this incident. "If he can pull through, this child will most likely become an Ultimate Ice!"

Old Song's assertion brought a moment of silence to the rooftop.

a long time.

While waiting for Ling Luochen to transform.

Yan Shaozhe spoke up, saying something that made several people present burst into laughter, "Suddenly, I feel that giving him our Shrek Academy's plaque isn't such a bad idea after all... One plaque can be exchanged for two Soul Master with Ultimate Attribute. If you think about it carefully, it seems that our Shrek Academy actually makes a profit?"

"Give it to him?" Xian Lin'er scoffed. "Don't try to portray yourself as too generous, Yan Shaozhe. So far, the Inner Court has already suffered two consecutive defeats. The gap between them and the Inner Court is so obvious that it's a matter of guidance. Defeat < Subdue < Guidance. You can't even guide Xiaotao and Luo Chen. It's clearly because you can't protect the reputation of our Shrek Academy, not because you're giving this thing away... Is it really worth trying to save face by putting it another way?"

"Then I can give him a gift..." Yan Shaozhe rolled his eyes. "I can get that Xu Family brat out of here!"

"This doesn't comply with school rules!" Qian Duoduo interjected, "The dean of the Martial Spirit Department, leading the way in violating Shrek Academy's rules, tsk tsk..."

This stab left Yan Shaozhe speechless.

The only option was to forcibly change the subject.

He awkwardly touched his nose. "Look, Ling Luochen seems to have successfully transformed!"

Xian Lin'er: "Tsk..."

Qian Duoduo: "Tsk..."

Cai Meier: "Tsk..."

Old Song: "Tsk..."

Xuan Zi: "Tsk tsk tsk..."

But as long as Yan Shaozhe has thick skin, it's no big deal if someone clicks their tongue at him.

And now the situation on the playground is indeed as Yan Shaozhe said. Her three thousand black hairs have turned white. Ling Luochen just stands Jing Jing in place, and she gradually takes back the space that was Ice Seal inch by inch.

They only breathed a sigh of relief after they had completely taken it back.

When he looked up again, his eyes had turned an icy blue.

The Six-Sided Ice Mirrors and Four Ice Pillars shattered instantly.

A powerful cold front swept out in all directions.

"Thank you!" Looking at the handsome young man opposite him who seemed familiar, Ling Luochen suddenly had the illusion of looking at his younger brother. Then, thinking about how the other had helped him complete his transformation, his gaze softened slightly, and he lowered his eyes. "Now, I should be qualified to fight you, right?"

But Ye Qingcang's attention was not on Ling Luochen.

"I'm sorry..." Ye Qingcang reached out and grabbed, unleashing a much stronger chill than before, once again Ice Seal Ling Luochen in a small space. He fanned himself, dispersing the chill emanating from Ma Xiaotao's phoenix egg with a gust of wind. "Next time I'll definitely let you have your fill, but I'm in a hurry now, so next!"

Looking at Ling Luochen had transformed into the Ultimate Ice yet remained Ice Seal...

Then look at Ma Xiaotao, who is unaffected and undergoing transformation, not far away...

Many Inner Court students quietly swallowed.

Next?

The next hothead?

Or will he be the next stubborn kid?

They finally understood that the reward promises from the Poseidon Pavilion were just empty promises. It wasn't that the Poseidon Pavilion was afraid to give them, but rather that they believed the Poseidon Pavilion didn't deserve to even touch them. They weren't even qualified to have a whiff of it. The Ultimate Fire and the Ultimate Ice were both taught to them personally. At this point, they shouldn't have any vanity. They should treat them as teachers and go up to receive guidance. That was the Poseidon Pavilion's intention.

Defeat Ye Qingcang?

How much overestimation and daydreaming is there?

However... if they're asking for guidance, they don't feel any pressure at all!

Regardless of whether Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen are just one step away from their ultimate attributes, even if they are, Ye Qingcang, who can help Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen take that final step, is truly more talented than all the teachers in the Inner Court!

Everyone has their own area of expertise, and those who are skilled can be our teachers!

"I'll go!" Chen Zifeng, also one of the current Shrek Seven Devils, leaped out of the crowd, but before he could finish speaking, another lightning bolt of speed appeared first, and short-haired girl Xi Xi shouted, "I'll go first!"

"You can all come at me together..." Ye Qingcang disliked listening to arguments, especially over such trivial matters. "Anyone else want to join in?"

"Since you've put it that way..." Gongyang Mo shrugged and leaped onto the field. "We're both Shrek Seven Devils, and especially teammates, so count me in too."

"How could I be left out!" Yao Haoxuan adjusted his wristband, stretched his arms and legs, and turned to look at Dai Yueheng: "Are you coming or not?"

"You've all put it this way, it would be a bit disrespectful not to come..." Dai Yueheng patted Dai Huabin on the shoulder, signaling Dai Huabin to watch carefully, not to complain about Ye Qingcang hitting him, and not to be resentful. Then, he leaped onto the field. "With the captain and teammates down, I, as the Vice Captain, should step up and demonstrate the value of the Shrek Seven Devils. As for who will cover for us... Grandmaster, I'm counting on you!"

Zhang Lexuan, standing outside the playground, nodded.

If Dai Yueheng and the others all lose, she will be the last face left.

If she also loses, the other Inner Court students shouldn't harbor any ulterior motives when they go up. It can be said that Ye Qingcang has already defeated the Inner Court.

Now it remains to be seen whether Dai Yueheng's remnant army can force Ye Qingcang to reveal his true strength.

Including Ling Luochen is Ice Seal, and Ma Xiaotao, who is inside an egg, the seven people on the field now are the current Shrek Seven Devils.

There wasn't a single group in the entire Inner Court stronger than these seven.

"Very good." Ye Qingcang nodded. "As a sign of due respect, I will offer my Martial Soul as a reward for the courage you have shown that has impressed me. I hope that your courage will continue until this battle ends or you have completed your self-transformation..."

When the first black Soul Ring leaped out from beside Ye Qingcang in a three-dimensional form, everyone's expression changed, both inside and outside the playground.

What's truly terrifying isn't the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

It's the first ring in ten thousand years!

When the second black Soul Ring leaped out in three-dimensional form again, many people were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

Ten thousand years, the second ring!

But when the third red Soul Ring emerged in three dimensions, many intelligent people realized a very frightening fact.

The Third Ring Road, ten thousand years!

The fourth Soul Ring further confirmed these intelligent people's conjecture. When they looked at the mark on Ye Qingcang's forehead again, they no longer thought it was some kind of eccentric tattoo.

It is reverence!

I have the utmost respect for the fourth 100,000-Year Spirit Ring!

It's also out of admiration for the first three outrageous Soul Ring!

What happened next was the moment that drove everyone, including the five challengers themselves, to despair: thousands of golden halos filled the sky and the earth, and weapons that didn't look like ordinary weapons emerged one after another, including longswords, spears, heavy axes, long knives, halberds, and the Azure Dragon Halberd —all imaginable and unimaginable weapons, including various exotic weapons, all aimed at the five challengers!

"Then... please me to your heart's content!" Ye Qingcang raised his hand and pressed down, unleashing thousands of weapons raining down upon him. "Let me see your strength, your perseverance, and your determination to become stronger!"
