Back at the hotel.
After everyone returned, they did not say much else and simply went back to their respective rooms.
Yun Tian did not immediately wash up and sleep. Instead, he summoned his Sky-Piercing Spear.
Compared to its original pearly white color, the Sky-Piercing Spear now carried a faint pink glow. Yun Tian could vaguely sense Xiao Wu's aura on it.
[An undistributed entry has been detected. The host is now being offered a choice!]
The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. A panel unfolded before Yun Tian's eyes, accompanied by three dazzling, multicolored rays of light.
They streaked past his eyes like meteors. Unlike the previous grades, even the option boxes for the multicolored entries had a prismatic texture.
[Multicolored · Sky-Piercing Divine Might: Upon breaking through to Title Douluo, the host will definitely obtain an inheritance from a deity of first rank or above. The divine power required to elevate the Sky-Piercing Spear will be greatly reduced.] [Multicolored · Divine Grace Caresses the Spear: Not limited to Title Douluo. The chance of obtaining an inheritance of a Divine Position will be greatly increased.] [Multicolored · Heaven-Quelling Divine Path: The difficulty of Divine Trials will be reduced, and all consumption requirements of the Sky-Piercing Spear will be lowered, including but not limited to Soul Power, stamina, divine power, and so on.]
Looking at the three entries before him, Yun Tian felt that he did not even need to hesitate to know which one to choose.
The first was [Sky-Piercing Divine Might], undoubtedly the most worthwhile of the three. Whether it was the guaranteed divine inheritance or the lowered threshold for elevating the Sky-Piercing Spear, both made it his best choice.
As for the later [Divine Grace Caresses the Spear] and [Heaven-Quelling Divine Path], the former could allow him to receive a divine inheritance at his current stage, but the uncertainty was far too great.
If all he received were weak inheritances or ones incompatible with him, would that not be a complete waste of an entry?
The latter needed even less consideration. Those who received Divine Trials naturally did not fear challenges. Besides, Yun Tian was not from this world. He knew that if a god truly favored someone, their Divine Trial would not make things too difficult for them.
Just think of Tang San's Sea God and Asura God trials. There had been far too much backdoor dealing involved.
"System, I choose the first one, [Sky-Piercing Divine Might]!"
As his choice was confirmed, the first entry transformed into a multicolored stream of light and flowed into Yun Tian's body. He himself did not feel much, so it would probably only take effect later.
"And my fifth Soul Ring..."
Yun Tian focused his mind on his Soul Rings.
Fifth Soul Skill, Imperishable Firmament Edge. His body was enveloped by Invincible Golden Body. All attacks below the god level were completely ineffective against him for four seconds. During invincibility, the spear intent and momentum of the Sky-Piercing Spear increased by fifty percent, and all spear techniques consumed no Soul Power. It could be used twice per day.
Firmament-Born Spear Burial. A domain spread out with Yun Tian at its center. Spear shadows possessing sixty percent of Yun Tian's strength would continuously appear around him to attack. During this time, he could teleport without limit within the domain. It lasted six seconds, and the spear shadows could detonate on their own.
Yun Tian could only describe these two Soul Skills with two words: invincible!
Moreover, the Soul Skill Imperishable Firmament Edge reminded Yun Tian of Uchiha Madara's skill from his previous life. Could he also end up becoming that sort of essence-devouring monster?
As for the Soul Bone skills of the one-hundred-thousand-year Silver Shadow Dragon Chaser left leg bone...
Shadow Dragon Earthshaker: Continuously weakened the shield strength of enemies within a certain range and increased their Soul Power consumption. The longer it lasted, the greater the weakening effect.
Silver Firmament Extinguishing Thorn: A mass of shadow power condensed at the tip of the Sky-Piercing Spear and was released in the shape of a dragon. It ignored thirty percent of the enemy's defense, and upon hitting, could briefly seal one of the enemy's Soul Skills.
With this entire combination of skills, Yun Tian could make opponents of the same level—or even those slightly above his level—unable to use Soul Skills at all, while he himself attacked wildly under invincibility.
It truly fit that saying: powerful mechanics paired with inflated numbers. Even Yun Ming would only have these two moves.
Early the next morning.
Everyone boarded carriages and set off for Heaven Dou City.
In the shadows, Tang Hao dragged his exhausted and pained body onto a rooftop. He stared coldly in the direction the Imperial Battle Team had left, his eyes filled with indifference.
"Little San should have returned to Shrek Academy by now. I need to leave quickly as well. If this keeps dragging on, Little San will be in danger."
His hidden injuries had reached a point where they could no longer be ignored. As long as he used even the slightest bit of Soul Power, his wounds would instantly flare up. If he encountered any sudden situation again, he could only fight by burning through his life.
It had to be said that Yun Tian's alteration had indeed been crucial, but there had also been an element of gambling involved at the time.
At Shrek Academy.
Inside a somewhat larger wooden house.
Flender, Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, Lu Qibin, and several other teachers watched as Shao Xin treated Yu Xiaogang and the other two. The gloom in their eyes was impossible to dispel.
"Dean, how could something this serious happen in just one night?"
Shao Xin's slightly weary voice rang out. He had already been busy for an entire night, constantly making Sugar Beans and directing Ma Hongjun and the others as they ran about. Even as a Soul Sage, he was beginning to struggle.
"Sorry, Old Shao. This really is my fault..."
A trace of apology appeared on Flender's face. Healing-type Soul Masters were too difficult to find. The only person he could think of was Ye Lingling from the Imperial Battle Team, but she definitely would not help them now. He did not even know whether she was still in Suotuo City.
Therefore, they could only rely entirely on Shao Xin, a food-type Soul Master who knew a little basic healing.
"How are Xiaogang and the others now? Are they all right?"
"They've been settled for now. The Master and this young man only need to lie down and recuperate. As for Dai Mubai..."
When he mentioned Dai Mubai, a clear trace of gravity appeared in Shao Xin's eyes, making everyone present tense up.
"That part was completely severed. If we had the original piece, perhaps the Nine-Heart Begonia could still treat it, but I definitely can't. I'm not a healing-type Soul Master. Reaching this point is already my limit."
"Teacher Shao Xin, I have it!"
At that moment, Ma Hongjun suddenly stepped forward. He held a small item wrapped in paper, the entire sheet already soaked through with blood. A faint rancid smell lingered in the air.
"Hongjun, where did you get that?! Ugh..."
Zhao Wuji covered his nose and stared at the lump in Ma Hongjun's hand, his brow furrowing deeply. It was fucking disgusting!
"This was cut off by His Excellency Sword Douluo yesterday. I saw that they weren't going to deal with it, so I wrapped it up and brought it over. Hehe."
"Only you, Fatty, could do something like this."
Oscar was speechless. That dead fatty was still so carefree, but at least he had done something useful this time.
Yet Flender did not relax. His brows remained tightly furrowed. He had originally given up on the idea of going to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but Dai Mubai still needed treatment. Could it be...
