Sea God Avatar!

As soon as Liu Erlong finished speaking, the first assessment officially began.

One of the students asked, "Boss Bofeng, I have a plant-type martial soul. May I ask if there are any special requirements when choosing spirit rings?"

Bofeng said, "As everyone knows, martial souls are divided into Tool Martial Souls and Beast Martial Souls. The age of a spirit ring determines a spirit master's future achievements and the changes in their martial soul. Since yours is a plant martial soul, if you reach a bottleneck in the future, you can try hunting Beast Soul Beasts whose age falls within the range required for your spirit ring and are suitable to serve as your spirit ring."

"Boss Bofeng, how can a plant-type martial soul possibly absorb a Beast Nature Soul Ring? Wouldn't the two conflict?" At that moment, someone raised a question.

Bofeng smiled. "I remember a certain Grandmaster once mentioned that plant martial souls don't necessarily have to absorb spirit rings from Plant Soul Beasts, and Beast Martial Souls may not be unable to absorb spirit rings from plant-type spirit beasts. Although this conclusion has never been proven."

"Grandmaster?" Liu Erlong cried out despite herself.

She had not heard anyone mention that name in a very long time. What happened back then must have dealt him a heavy blow.

Bofeng continued, "But the facts prove that in today's Spirit Master World, there truly is someone who has done it. This isn't baseless talk, because I myself am a special example."

With that, Bofeng opened his palm, and a blue Trident appeared in his hand. Beneath Bofeng's feet, spirit rings began to rise.

Yellow, purple, purple, black!

One hundred-year ring, two thousand-year rings, one ten-thousand-year ring!

Four spirit rings circled beneath Bofeng's feet. Such a Soul Ring Configuration could not help but leave everyone present stunned.

"A ten-thousand-year fourth ring? How on earth did he do it?"

"And a thousand-year Second Ring too. That exceeds the age limit for Soul Ring Absorption."

Even Liu Erlong, though she had heard Teacher Yinshu speak of Bofeng's Soul Ring Configuration yesterday, had not dared to believe it at the time. A person actually possessed spirit rings like this.

But now, this irregular Soul Ring Configuration left all the academy students tongue-tied.

Bofeng smiled and said, "I am an exception. There are many unknown definitions in the Spirit Master World. We cannot stick to convention and rigidly follow the knowledge written in books. What matters most is that practice reveals the truth."

"Of course, you must never learn from me, because..."

"I am a genius!!!"

"..."

"..."

"Boss Bofeng, may I ask..."

The questioning continued, and Bofeng answered them one by one with tireless enthusiasm.

Liu Erlong, who stood off to the side, nodded in satisfaction at each of Bofeng's answers. It seemed Blue Tyrant Academy had really picked up a treasure this time.

Who would have thought that the unremarkable Boss Bofeng, who only seemed to know how to do business, was actually someone who hid his depths?

At the same time, that Grandmaster Bofeng had mentioned was currently at Shrek Academy.

Its founder: Flender, a seventy-sixth-rank Battle Spirit Saint, martial soul: Cat Owl.

Aside from Bofeng's grandson Tang San, who had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt spirit beasts, the whole of Shrek Academy only had Flender and the Grandmaster who had rushed over.

The scene returned to Blue Tyrant Academy, where Bofeng had officially passed the first stage.

Now, the second stage was underway: the practical combat test.

"Second Soul Skill, Sea God's Guard."

Bofeng held the Trident in hand, and a blue barrier blocked the Dark Blue Flame. In an instant, waves of fire surged across the entire sports field.

That was right. Bofeng's opponent was Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong's martial soul was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Mutation: Fire Dragon. Her Dark Blue Flame burned at an extremely high temperature, and once it stuck to someone, it was very hard to break free.

The Fire Dragon wantonly spewed flames, while Liu Erlong stood there with a smile on her face.

Although Bofeng had a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, Liu Erlong was a Spirit Saint. A Soul Ancestor against a Spirit Saint—there was no comparison.

However...

Under Sea God's Guard, Liu Erlong's Dragon Flame did not cause Bofeng any harm.

"Dean Liu Erlong, is this the full extent of your flames?"

Liu Erlong smiled faintly, and the First Spirit Ring beneath her lit up.

"Is that so? Then try this!"

"First Soul Skill, Flame Dragon Claw."

Liu Erlong's left hand turned into a dragon claw. This was the manifestation produced when a Beast Martial Soul possessed the body, and Dark Blue Flame clung to it.

She swept straight at Bofeng, and the dragon claw collided with the Trident.

As expected of the Killing Horn, once she started fighting, she was completely unlike the gentle, graceful image she had shown yesterday.

It was simply impossible to believe that such a melodious singing voice had actually come from Liu Erlong's mouth.

With every swing of the dragon claw, Bofeng could clearly sense the change in the surrounding temperature.

Liu Erlong was very strong. Her attacks gave Bofeng no opening at all.

On the contrary, every one of Liu Erlong's attacks was neutralized by Bofeng in turn.

More and more students gathered around to watch the battle. Their dean was actually fighting someone to a standstill, and the other party was only a Soul Ancestor.

This was only a one-on-one fight on the surface. For now, the two of them were relying purely on their own skill. Before the battle, Liu Erlong had said she would only use her first four soul skills. If Bofeng did not fall within the time it took an Incense Stick to burn, he would pass this trial.

By then, the Incense Stick had already burned halfway...

The battle was still going. Liu Erlong wiped the sweat from her forehead, puzzled. Why was it that every one of her attacks could be so deftly defused by Bofeng?

Liu Erlong asked in confusion, "Can you tell me why you aren't taking the initiative to attack? You just keep dodging. This battle isn't very interesting like this."

Bofeng planted the Trident against the ground and explained with a smile, "We're only sparring, so we should stop at the right point. Besides, we'll all be in the same academy in the future. If we go all out like this, we'll still be seeing each other every day, so this..."

"I am the dean. I am ordering you now to take the initiative and attack me. For the sake of our future students, I must know your true combat strength," Liu Erlong instructed.

At that, Bofeng asked again and again, "Are you... really sure?"

"Enough nonsense. Come on."

And so...

Bofeng got serious...

As soon as he finished speaking, the Trident in Bofeng's hand turned into blue specks of light and vanished.

His entire being grew ever more sacred and noble. The Sea God's Crown on his head radiated dazzling Golden Light.

Behind Bofeng, the Sea God's Phantom flickered in and out of sight.

At that moment, everyone's martial souls were suppressed by an inexplicable power. Even Liu Erlong, his opponent, was no exception.

Far away in the Department Store, Qian Renxue and Xiao Bai's expressions changed in shock.

"Lord Sea God!"

"Bofeng!"

Xiao Bai sensed it. Bofeng had used the true power of the Sea God—the Sea God Avatar!

For Brother Feng to do such a thing, could he have encountered some danger?

The next moment, Xiao Bai's figure swiftly disappeared from there...

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue stood on the balcony of Bofeng's room, her expression grave as she looked toward the place where the Sea God's power had spread from. That place was precisely the location of Blue Tyrant Academy.

Qian Renxue smiled faintly. "You really are hiding something. Your martial soul isn't some so-called Trident at all. Just wait. I will personally uncover the secrets in your heart."

At the same time, Qian Renxue continued searching for any important information in the room...
