Myriad Phenomena Origin Embryo

On the night the Elephant Armor Battle ended, three more layers of protection were added around the Shrek Training Ground.

The outermost layer was Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, the middle layer was guarded by Zhao Wuji, and Liu Erlong sat on the sidelines, carrying a bucket of water. Flender originally wanted to call the other students to watch as well, but Yuan Yu directly chased them out.

"Dean, I'm testing my Martial Soul; tickets aren't required."

"We're all classmates, why charge tickets?" Flender said. "I'll only charge a small venue maintenance fee at most."

Liu Erlong lifted the bucket.

Flender turned and walked away. "I'm going to watch the tournament recording."

The Training Ground fell silent.

Yuan Yu stood in the center, his Soul Power already stabilized at level sixty-six. The Sun Wheel Blade hovered in front of him, its blade so clean that no elemental patterns could be seen, while the Nine-Slot Round Wheel was hidden deep within the blade, only appearing when Soul Power was injected.

Tang San took out a thin Blue Silver Grass and wrapped it around the blade.

"Try Scattered Form first. You couldn't use it continuously last night, but you succeeded today after being Huyan Li in the arena. The triggering condition may be related to external force."

Yuan Yu nodded. "Tighten."

The Blue Silver Grass thickened in circles, quickly enveloping the entire blade. Yuan Yu gripped the hilt tightly, attempting to separate the six inner runes from the blade.

There was no response the first time.

Tang San increased his strength.

Tiny barbs sprouted from the surface of the Blue Silver Grass, its binding force approaching that of Spiderweb Restraint. The Sun Wheel Blade trembled slightly but remained unchanged.

"Heavier."

"It will hurt your hand."

There are Water Pattern.

Tang San's fourth Spirit Ring lit up, and a Blue Silver Cage closed in from beneath Yuan Yu's feet. Vines wrapped around the hilt of the sword along his wrist, and the Blue Silver Grass pulled in six directions at the same time.

The phantom of the circular wheel inside the Sun Wheel Blade rotated half a circle.

The blade split open.

Six Elemental Light Streams emerged from the gaps in the Blue Silver Grass and re-condensed in Yuan Yu's left hand. His right hand remained in the position of holding a knife, with only a faint red mark remaining on his palm.

Liu Erlong took two steps closer. "Able to bypass control-type restraints and also evade Power Attack System to seize weapons. How far is the re-condensed location?"

"At most three zhang now."

How long will it take?

Tang San glanced at the timer Soul Tool: "One and a half breaths. If we prepare in advance during the battle, it might be even faster."

Zhao Wuji asked, "Can you still attack after you disperse?"

Yuan Yu tried to propel the water flow. The Sun Wheel Blade had only spread halfway when the six lights flickered simultaneously, almost returning directly to his body.

"Not for now. When the Scattered Form, you can only change its position."

"That's enough." Zhao Wuji patted his chest. "From now on, who would dare to catch your knife empty-handed? They wouldn't know where to put their hands."

The test continues.

Tang San first used Blue Silver Grass to bind them, then switched to Spiderweb Restraint. Liu Erlong sealed the blade with flames, while Zhao Wuji used Gravity to press the Sun Wheel Blade to the ground. The first two Scattered Form were successful, but the third attempt was too short, and the wheel only rotated a short distance before stopping.

Yuan Yu's arm also felt sore and swollen.

"A maximum of two times within half an hour." Tang San wrote down the result on the paper. "Using it a third time will disrupt the Soul Power circulation. At a distance of three zhang, the condensation time is about one breath, making it impossible to launch an attack during the Scattered Form."

Yuan Yu tried several different directions. The Sun Wheel Blade could be reassembled in front of, behind, and to the left and right, but the position had to be within his Soul Power perception. Rock Wall, Blue Silver Cage, and ordinary flames could not stop the Elemental Light Streams, but Zhao Wuji's Gravity field would slow down the reassembly speed by half.

"When encountering domain-related restrictions, Scattered Form cannot be used indiscriminately." Tang San continued recording, "If the opponent can cover the entire area, changing positions will still keep them within control."

Liu Erlong said, "It's suitable for breaking single-point restraints and can also help avoid disarming opponents. Don't treat it as an invincible technique."

Yuan Yu flexed his aching wrists. "I know. If we really encounter a wide-range Soul Skill, I have legs; there's no need to rely solely on my sword to run."

Zhao Wuji nodded. "Still relatively clear-headed. What I fear most is that you'll discover a new ability and dare to test it on Titled Douluo tomorrow."

"Senior Sword is not currently in Heaven Dou City."

Zhao Wuji looked at him. "You'll go even if he's there?"

Yuan Yu did not answer, but looked down to examine the scabbard.

Liu Erlong spoke up for him directly, "He wouldn't dare."

Yuan Yu sheathed his Sun Wheel Blade: "That's enough for now. Things will change later."

He could sense that the nine empty slots of the wheel were far from being filled. Water, fire, thunder, wind, rock, and rosy clouds were only the first forces to enter the interior. The three patterns of sun, moon, and space were still dormant, and the six bright slots themselves had only formed the shallowest layer of inner patterns.

That vague memory from yesterday resurfaced in my mind.

The growth of Magic Treasure relies on their origin and also on the layers of Restriction Runes refined into their interior. This term doesn't exist in the Douluo Continent; Tool Martial Soul typically evolve through Spirit Ring and the Martial Soul Avatar. The Sun Wheel Blade is connecting these two paths.

The knife is still a knife, but it now has an additional internal frame.

Yuan Yu pointed to the center of the wheel. "Myriad Phenomena Origin Embryo."

All six illuminated slots responded simultaneously.

The residual Fire Dragon Soul Power, Blue Silver Grass moisture, and earth and rock Soul Power in the Training Ground gathered around the Sun Wheel Blade. After entering the wheel, they were sifted apart one by one, with most of them dissipating back into the air, leaving only a very small wisp remaining in the six bright slots.

The wisp of power entered the meridians along the hilt of the sword; it was small in quantity but extremely pure.

Yuan Yu's eyes lit up. "It can absorb the elemental Soul Power left behind on the battlefield."

Tang San immediately reminded him, "First check if there are any other Soul Master's Divine Seal."

"No. They were all ground away by the wheels before entering; what remained were only unclaimed elements."

Liu Erlong raised his hand and released a ball of flame. The fireball burned in the air for a moment before dissipating on its own. A small portion of the fire element was drawn by the Myriad Phenomena Origin Embryo and merged into the Yuan Yu Soul Power after passing through the Flame Pattern Inner Groove.

"How's the speed?"

Yuan Yu circulated his Soul Power once. "It will be very fast during the competition. In normal cultivation, I can also gather the surrounding elements, making it at least twice as fast as before."

Zhao Wuji grinned. "You were already advancing quickly, and now you're going to advance twice as fast. If the other students hear this, none of them will be able to sleep tonight."

"Then don't tell them the specific speed."

The gathered power also has clear boundaries. If one leaves the battlefield for too long, the wandering Soul Power will dissipate on its own; Soul Power bearing the Divine Seal of other Soul Master cannot pass through the wheel; and poison, plant vitality, and auxiliary amplification unrelated to the nine patterns will not be absorbed.

Tang San tried using Blue Silver Grass twice, but the Myriad Phenomena Origin Embryo showed no reaction. After Zhao Wuji released his Gravity Soul Power, the Rock Pattern only absorbed a small portion of what was scattered on the ground, less than one percent of the Soul Power he consumed.

Yuan Yu was already quite satisfied with this. There were many elemental Martial Soul in the competition, and as long as he kept fighting, the Myriad Phenomena Origin Embryo could save him a lot of time accumulating power.

Just as Yuan Yu sheathed his sword, Flender returned carrying a large box.

"It was delivered by a tailor shop in the city. They said you damaged your training uniform while registering at the Crown Prince's Residence, and they'll compensate you with ten sets as agreed."

The box contained ten sets of White-Clad, each the perfect size for Yuan Yu's current physique. On top of them was an ordinary greeting card with neat handwriting.

"Blades and Swords Have No Eyes on the field, so make sure you have enough protective gear."

Only Yuan Yu understood the other layer of meaning.

Qian Renxue still remembered the piece of clothing that had been torn by the Holy Light at the Crown Prince's Residence's Training Ground.

Flender touched the fabric. "The Crown Prince's Residence has been very generous with the compensation. Take this fabric and sell it..."

Yuan Yu closed the box. "Dean, don't even think about it."

As Yuan Yu stepped out of the players' tunnel after the second day of competition, a red figure blocked his way.

Huo Wu watched as he hid the six-colored light within his sword.

"You must participate when Shrek encounters Blazing Fire Academy."

"You waited here specifically to say this?"

"I'll see if your fire can beat mine."

Yuan Yu picked up the Wine Gourd: "Alright. Don't say I bullied you because of your low Soul Power."

Huo Wu raised an eyebrow. "Let's win first."
