Destruction: I'll keep creeping on you, forever... (two-in-one)
"Where is my Divine Consciousness Imprint?!"
Tang San's expression froze, then he erupted in fury. With a wave of his hand, the surrounding space twisted into a vortex, as clear as a mirror, reflecting the current appearance of Star Luo City. His Spiritual Imprint last appeared here...
But they completely disappeared without a trace.
"That's impossible."
As God King, an enforcer of the Asura realm, his status was so high that even the Destruction his Life was comparable to that of these two primordial gods. Yet, he was inexplicably devoured, a truly humiliating disgrace.
Having lost the connection, even He couldn't find Wang Dong'er immediately and had to use His Divine Consciousness to search the entire Star Luo City inside and out.
But the next moment...
The vortex image shattered inch by inch, and its connection with the Douluo Plane was completely severed at that moment.
An even more powerful and brutal divine force intervened.
Tang San's face was gloomy as he slowly raised his head and looked at the God of Destruction emerging from the clouds in the distance.
My eye twitched violently.
This is right in front of my own house.
And this guy... had somehow managed to lurk here all along.
That's... absolutely insane.
"Destruction, what do you want to do?" Tang San said coldly.
"Sea God, that's the question I should be asking you. You rejected my plan to expand the Divine Realm, yet you've repeatedly interfered in the mortal world. What's the meaning of this? Are you perhaps secretly cultivating your own power to dominate the Divine Realm?"
Destruction exhaled a cloud, then waved away the clouds clinging to his hair, giving Tang San a mocking look.
Judging from this, they've clearly been waiting for a long time.
Tang San: "..."
"When Xiao Qi descended to the mortal realm, I, as her father, was naturally worried about whether she had encountered any misfortune. Destruction, don't think so badly of people..." Tang San's eyelids twitched, almost thinking that Destruction had exposed him, but seeing the guy's deceitful appearance, he understood and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Qi, that's true." Upon hearing "Xiao Qi," Destruction's gaze softened for a moment, but quickly returned to its indifferent glance at Tang San: "I hope you don't make any further moves. I'll be keeping a close eye on you..."
As he spoke, he pointed to his eyes, then to Tang San.
Tang San's face twitched, but he couldn't find any loopholes.
After all, the Divine Realm is not allowed to interfere with the mortal realm; this is a rule established since ancient times. Although He has now established a firm foothold in the Divine Realm and has his own power, the price to pay for openly violating this rule is still considerable, not to mention the recent heated argument with Destruction over whether to expand the Divine Realm.
We absolutely cannot let this guy catch us by the tail.
Only after the Destruction figure disappeared did Tang San awaken from his dream.
What was he planning to do...?
Dong'er!!!
Damn it, Tang San's face was gloomy. Although his daughter's main soul was still intact in his hands, her physical body had gone to the lower realm and was now Wang Dong'er. If something happened to Wang Dong'er, his daughter would become a wandering ghost. Although he, as a God King, could create another physical body, how could it compare to a congenital physical body?
He wanted to use his divine power to investigate, but his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the depths of the sea of clouds.
The words he uttered when he left after the Destruction echoed in my mind.
I will always be watching over you... forever.
Tang San: "Damn it!!!"
The fish ate all the bait, broke the fishing rod in the process, and got away. There was nothing else to do but contact Da Ming Er Ming to finish them off.
Tang San's eyes flashed with coldness. "Lu Cheng... I underestimated you."
The match became increasingly tense.
Meanwhile, the Shrek Team became relaxed. Since Lu Cheng's defeat, which sent the entire Thousand Spirit Team back to base prematurely (all the main players were seriously injured and unable to participate in subsequent matches), the other teams preferred to surrender rather than "take a gamble."
Even Zhengtian Academy, with three Soul King and an undisputed powerhouse, did not hesitate to concede defeat when facing Shrek Academy.
They didn't even go through the procedure of sending the team captain to the stage to draw lots to choose the battle strategy; they simply admitted defeat.
This suited Lu Cheng perfectly; he hid in the hotel and learned Necromancy from Electrolux.
Surprisingly, it wasn't Xuan Zi who arrived in Star Luo City to provide support, but Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department. He also brought astonishing news... Xuan Zi was imprisoned in the Sea God Pavilion and was not allowed to leave for three years. This punishment was extremely severe for Xuan Zi, but Lu Cheng seemed indifferent.
Even though Yan Shaozhe disliked Lu Cheng Lu Cheng, he had to put on a magnanimous act because of the current special circumstances. The main team disciples would need a few more days to fully recover and return to the field.
Lu Cheng stayed in his room every day, avoiding seeing him and keeping himself at ease.
It was just tough on Wang Yan. Yan Shaozhe knew his relationship with Lu Cheng was bad, so he started putting pressure on Wang Yan, saying, "We've come this far. One more step and you'll be the champion. You'll be the inner dean of the Shrek Academy, a truly meritorious position. But if you lose, you'll lose the championship..."
That's not just about losing the reward; you're the eternal sinner of the Shrek Academy. Future generations of Shrek students will despise you, knowing that Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year reign as number one ended because of you.
Wang Yan couldn't sleep at night, staying up all night every day to observe the enemy team's situation, afraid of missing any details. Lu Cheng just sneered when he saw this, saying that Shrek PUA was indeed a master.
Traditional and unique skills.
Within the Half Undead Plane.
The sky was overcast, and the whole world consisted of endless, barren hills, utterly silent, save for the occasional low, hoarse roar of a dragon from the depths and the sounds of the surrounding skeletons.
This world is dead, lifeless.
"This Undead Plane is a work in progress for me. Since you seem interested in the undead, I'll pass it on to you." Electrolux Lu Cheng showed no disgust whatsoever, but instead looked around at the strange and wonderful undead skeletons with great curiosity, Electrox's eyes softened, and he nodded slightly.
After saying that, he gently tapped Lu Cheng's forehead.
A faint gray mist emerged from his fingertip, instantly seeping into Lu Cheng's forehead. His skin gradually darkened, while golden patterns emanated from it, making him look quite eerie.
But soon, Lu Cheng opened his eyes.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He casually raised his hand.
A group of short, undead skeletons, each about 1.4 meters tall, walked by. Some were headless, while others were carrying their companions by the arms, using broken bones as weapons. They looked quite comical and amusing.
"These are all products of my experiments, though these little guys are defective..." Electrolux smiled and bent down, gently stroking the heads of the undead skeletons. Sensing the familiar aura of death emanating from Electrolux, the skeletons instantly came closer, hopping and skipping around.
"So, this plane was actually once a vibrant world?" Lu Cheng, having completely gained control of this world, looked down upon all living beings like a god, and slowly detached himself from that gaze, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Not bad, I didn't expect you to see through me..." Electrolux nodded slightly, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
Lu Cheng's eyes remained calm.
As mentioned in the original work, Electrolux was betrayed by his lover and then inherited the legacy of a necromancer. From then on, starting from a city-state on the Holy Demon Continent, he turned all the people in the city into undead, and then made a snowballing comeback.
Although the millions of undead troops suffered considerable losses, the rest... are mostly in this demiplane.
After inheriting the plane, Lu Cheng also learned that the undead are not immortal; however, when they are resurrected, they need to consume a portion of the necromancer's energy.
These skeletons do not require energy to resurrect because this Undead Demiplane itself possesses the energy left behind by Electrolux when he approached the gods, and even after countless calamities, it remains as vast as the sea.
It's enough to resurrect this nearly million-strong undead army at least three or four times.
"Corpse Explosion..."
Lu Cheng seemed to be pondering something.
A moment later, as if he had thought of something, he pointed slightly at a small skeleton in front of him, which instantly solidified into a lifelike ice sculpture. The surrounding skeletons were full of curiosity and came over. One of them used half a bone in its hand to tap the ice sculpture, but only a hard, clanging sound came out.
Lu Cheng smiled.
His palm slowly clenched.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar suddenly resounded for miles around, and a shockwave spread outwards from the ice sculpture, instantly blasting the surrounding skeletons to pieces and attracting many other, more powerful skeletons.
A necromancer riding a warhorse, his eyes hollow with only a flickering wisp of eerie blue flame, and a Bone Dragon dragon soaring in the sky, its body nothing but skeleton, devoid of any flesh or blood.
The most powerful of them all Bone Dragon, with a body length of up to a thousand meters, leaving Lu Cheng speechless.
"Is this a real dragon?"
"Hehe..." Electrolux just chuckled and said nothing.
"However, the experimental results are also quite obvious."
Attracted by the explosion, many undead creatures rushed over, but upon seeing Lu Cheng and Electrolux, they slowly dispersed like zombies, wandering aimlessly in this vast, lifeless world.
Lu Cheng stared intently at the departing spirits, a hint of joy flashing across his face.
"Ice Explosion Technique can be used on undead."
In the original work, the Ice Explosion Technique is more powerful than the Corpse Explosion Technique because it can also completely unleash the energy accumulated inside the corpse after freezing it. For example, Huo Gua Ice Explosion to kill a ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and severely injured a several-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Therefore, Ice Explosion has always been a top-tier divine skill.
If the Ice Explosion is applied to the undead, it can unleash the energy within the undead, which would be quite terrifying...
This will definitely be one of his life-saving skills in the future.
"Heh, that's a good idea." Electrolux stroked his beard, a look of approval flashing in his eyes.
This can be considered as maximizing the potential of His role in the Undead Plane.
"Click~"
With a crisp sound, the small undead soldiers, whose bones had just been shattered into powder and scattered in pieces, slowly returned to their original bodies. Some scratched their heads, and Nether Fire flickered in their pupils, seemingly confused about what had just happened.
"However... it would be even better if it could be carried."
Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
He wanted a suicide truck, not a stationary landmine.
If the undead could possess Ultimate Ice attributes and move freely, no longer like corpses but agile, then coupled with a super weapon like the Bone Dragon that falls directly from the sky...
Lu Cheng was confident he could completely destroy an empire.
"I understand what you mean," Electrolux said with a smile and a nod.
"Go ahead, leave the rest to me. I happen to have nothing to do these days."
"..."
Lu Cheng smiled.
Indeed, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure, not to mention that this one is a super old-fashioned person.
Here, you can always trust Electrolux.
"Okay, teacher."
Without hesitation, Lu Cheng turned to study the "Third Martial Soul" he inherited from Electrolux, a gray-black Soul Ring that encompassed almost all Necromancy.
It also includes some teleportation arrays, which are quite profound and complex, but if you can master them, it's like having a cheat code in the Douluo World.
"Round of 16!"
With the group stage now completely over.
Shrek Academy also successfully entered the top 16 without any controversy. After all, Lu Cheng's previous intimidation was quite terrifying. He shattered the confidence of the other teams in the same group with one arrow, and they all avoided his sharp edge.
But as the tournament progresses to the final round of 16, no team will hold back any longer; they will all give it their all, for a loss is a loss and a win is a win.
We'll need to be able to assess our own resources.
Therefore, Shrek Academy's future path will be fraught with bloodshed and turmoil, no longer as peaceful as it once was, like children playing house.
"I'm ready to play!" Ma Xiaotao was unwilling to calm down; she had been holding back her anger for days while recovering from her injury.
"What's so special about this Dou Ling Academy? I can burn them all to the ground with a single fire."
"You are our trump card; you cannot play."
But no matter how indignant Ma Xiaotao was, Wang Yan remained cold and only uttered this one sentence.
"Even if Luochеn and Gongyang Mo go on stage, you can't go on. As Soul Saint, you are Shrek Academy's ultimate weapon, meant to deal with truly formidable enemies, not for you to go on stage now to vent your frustrations."
"Teacher!" Ma Xiaotao said angrily to Yan Shaozhe to the side.
"Xiaotao, be careful," Yan Shaozhe with a smile, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses.
"You're definitely not at your peak yet, so sending you up now would be a bit too hasty. Let's send Xiao Cheng up first."
"Damn it!" Ma Xiaotao gritted her teeth.
She was neither Wang Yan nor Yan Shaozhe; she was Lu Cheng's confidante. She knew from the beginning that Lu Cheng wanted Run in the final, so if she didn't go on stage, she might not get to play at all.
"What's up?" Yan Shaozhe raised an eyebrow.
"No, it's nothing..."
Ma Xiaotao said aggrievedly, a hint of guilt and apology flashing in her eyes, "I'm really sorry, teacher, but who can blame me but Lu Cheng on the other side? I can only make things difficult for you a little longer."
"Don't worry, you'll definitely be playing in the finals," Yan Shaozhe reassured him.
"Oh, oh..." Ma Xiaotao became increasingly guilty.
If I surrender on the spot during the final round, the teacher probably won't go crazy...
P. S.: The next chapter will be released at 11 PM tonight.
