The curtain fell and the journey to Star Luo began: evolving Thunderclap Hellvine Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone, and the idea of controlling Ultimate Lightning

The Sea God Pavilion's decision quickly reached the Outer Court, but Ning Tian and the others were not fools; after a little thought, they understood the intricacies of the situation.

Even though Xie Huanyue and his two companions regained their positions, their chances of winning were still pitifully low given the overwhelming strength of their challengers. In other words, after all the back and forth, the preliminary team positions ultimately returned to Huo Yuhao and his group, who had already been eliminated.

Furthermore, after this so-called additional challenge, Huo Yuhao and others' rise to the top seemed to be a reasonable outcome within the rules.

This is blatant favoritism and a threat.

Even if you manage to wrest back your place among the Preparatory Shrek Seven Monsters through public pressure, Shrek Academy, which has exclusive control and interpretation of the rules, has plenty of ways to bring you down and replace you with one of their own in a dignified manner.

Having seen through this, Xie Huanyue and the others, who had just begun to have a slightly better opinion of the Shrek Academy because of its "admitting its mistakes and correcting them," were now as if doused with a bucket of cold water.

In their grief and indignation, the three were utterly disillusioned with the Shrek Academy and immediately announced their withdrawal from the unfair additional challenge, while also lodging a strong protest against the Shrek Academy's lack of fairness once again.

Especially Xie Huanyue, whose original intentions were actually similar to those of Han Ruoruo and the others, but after this incident, he completely abandoned his original goal and instead joined the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind Ning Tian, who had always taken good care of them and stood up for them. Cao Jinxuan and the others followed suit and completely separated their camps.

Thus, the vigorous rights protection movement of the Outer Court Core Disciple, which lasted for more than ten days, came to a complete failure. However, the Sea God Pavilion did not see the results it wanted because of this victory.

The students weren't fools. Additional challenges had never even appeared in previous years, but this time they were suddenly introduced, and the Sea God Pavilion even directly designated who would challenge whom...

Isn't this just treating the people like fools?

Anyway, at this point, the spots for the Main Team Shrek Seven Monsters and the Preparatory Shrek Seven Monsters have finally been barely decided.

There are only three days left until the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament.

Before the official departure, as is customary, the Main Team Shrek Seven Monsters and the reserve team will arrange a friendly match to allow both sides to get to know each other.

However, the atmosphere between the Main Team Shrek Seven Monsters and the reserve team, and even between the two teams themselves, was too strange. The Sea God Pavilion was worried that the friendly competition would develop into an uncontrollable situation, so they simply canceled it. Instead, they allowed the members of the two teams to receive each other's information. Even when they set off, the two teams were led by two Senior Elder respectively.

Xuan Zi led the Main Team Shrek Seven Monsters, headed by Jiang Yu, while Senior Elder Azure Shadow Divine Eagle led the reserve team, headed by Bei Bei, to the Ming Dou Mountain Range west of the Star Luo Empire to carry out Surveillance Mission.

Considering they were leaving Shrek Academy to travel to the Star Luo Empire, Ning Yunxiu specially dispatched Thunder Emperor Douluo to accompany them to ensure the safety of Jiang Yu and the other two. With his strength as a level 95 Super Douluo of the Thunder attribute, he was more than capable of dealing with most potential threats.

A brilliant trail of flame streaked across the night sky before it landed steadily in a forest on the western border of the Star Luo Empire.

After landing, Ma Xiaotao and the others, in various postures, leaned against the tree trunks and vomited violently.

The combined speed of a Level 98 Super Douluo and a top-tier level 8 Flying Soul Tool allowed them to traverse more than 3,000 miles in about two hours. This was only because Xuan Zi slowed down to accommodate Jiang Yu and the others; otherwise, with his strength, flying 5,000 miles in two hours would have been a piece of cake.

Compared to the disheveled Ma Xiaotao and the others, Jiang Yu didn't seem to feel any discomfort.

During the flight, he used Spatial Power to isolate himself from the airflow impact and weightlessness brought about by high-speed flight. In fact, when passing through a thunderstorm area, his left leg bone actively absorbed some of the lightning power.

After the lightning power surged into his body, Jiang Yu felt a tingling sensation in his left leg. However, after the tingling subsided, the strength of his muscles and the resilience of his meridians in that area noticeably improved.

What Jiang Yu even more was that the age of his Fifth Spirit Ring and the left leg bone seemed to have increased Sisi.

Although the improvement was extremely slight, Jiang Yu's perception was so keen that he clearly detected the subtle energy fluctuation.

This discovery greatly surprised Jiang Yu.

He knew that the Soul Spirit the Thunderclap Hellvine could increase its lifespan by absorbing the power of thunder, but he was unaware that the Spirit Ring and Soul Bone obtained by killing the Thunderclap Hellvine could also increase its lifespan in this way.

Suddenly, Jiang Yu thought of something.

In the last moment before the Thunderclap Hellvine disappeared, it merged a Purple-Gold Light bead with its Spirit Ring and Soul Bone into its body.

People only know that the Thunderclap Hellvine is born in the shape of a bamboo shoot, but few people know that the Thunderclap Hellvine originally appeared as a Purple-Gold Light bead the size of a cherry.

Jiang Yu didn't know how the Thunderclap Hellvine managed to preserve its seeds, but its seeds, like its Spirit Ring and Soul Bone, had an instinctive craving for the power of thunder.

Whether out of a past agreement or for his own benefit, Jiang Yu will help the Thunderclap Hellvine advance to the next level in ten thousand years, becoming the First Thunder-Attribute Immortal Herb and completely reviving the Thunder God's bloodline.

At that time, even if Thunderclap Hellvine regains full consciousness, it will still be dependent on him for survival, and his abilities will most likely gain the ability to control Ultimate Lightning.

Thunder is formed from the righteous energy of heaven and earth, naturally restraining evil and possessing astonishing destructive power. If one can truly control the Ultimate Lightning, any evil-attribute Soul Master or Soul Beast will be nothing but a chicken or a dog in front of Jiang Yu. Furthermore, he can even use this to try to find the Thunder God Divine Position, which may have been lost somewhere.

Just as Jiang Yu pondering, a streak of blue light flashed across the distant sky.

The next instant, a blue eagle with a wingspan of twenty meters arrived in the air, accompanied by a gale.

On the back of the eagle were Ning Tian and his companions.

After setting Ning Tian and the others down, Elder Song revealed himself, exchanged a few words with Xuan Zi, and then transformed into a streak of azure light and disappeared into the horizon.

Xuan Zi waved his hand, yawned, and then, true to his nature as a hands-off manager, addressed Wang Yan, who was still somewhat dazed from following Elder Song:

"Xiao Wang, you and Jiang Yu discuss the rest. Hmm, we've caused quite a commotion; the people from the Star Luo Empire should be arriving soon. It seems old age is taking its toll. I'm going to get something to eat and catch up on some sleep..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Zi disappeared.

Jiang Yu, Ning Tian had just met up with Ning Tian and his companion, glanced in their direction before continuing his conversation with them in a relaxed manner.

Xuan Zi Xuan Zi, you're eating and sleeping well now, but I wonder if you'll still be able to enjoy this leisurely life after you encounter the Death Messenger...
