"No. In the novel Battle Through the Heavens, what they cultivate isn't soul power, but Dou Qi," Jiang Yan explained.
"Dou Qi?" Qian Renxue froze slightly at the term, then asked, "Then which is stronger, Dou Qi or soul power?"
"Well..." Hearing that question, Jiang Yan almost lost his composure. He could only force back his laughter and say,
"Judging by their descriptions and feats, soul power really is inferior to Dou Qi. Once we finish the Douluo Continent Anime, I'll show you the Battle Through the Heavens anime. We can also watch Shrouding the Heavens, Perfect World, and the like."
Qian Renxue, Ye Guyi, and Leng Yaozhu all nodded at that.
They were indeed quite interested in other worlds.
Meanwhile, in the Sky Screen Livestream Room, Yu Xiaogang composed himself and began posting again.
[Yu Xiaogang: Soul power is inferior to Dou Qi? Absolutely impossible! Soul power cultivation is the strongest!]
[Yu Xiaogang: Even in the settings of those worlds, whatever Shrouding the Heavens and Perfect World are, soul power would still be the strongest!]
[Yun Ming: There are other worlds, too? I wonder how powerful their strongest fighters are. If they fought me, who would win?]
At that moment, within the Sky Screen, Jiang Yan did not dare say too much. He was afraid Qian Renxue, Ye Guyi, and Leng Yaozhu would not be able to accept it all at once.
Then it would not be astonishment, but a fright.
If they learned that God King Tang would only be at the half-step blood moving realm in Perfect World, wouldn't that completely overturn their understanding?
You had to eat one mouthful at a time and walk one step at a time, didn't you?
If he brought out ceiling-level combat power right from the start, how were they supposed to keep playing?
They might not believe him even if he told them. Seeing was believing, after all. He would find a chance to show them later.
After those little interludes, the Douluo Continent Anime officially began playing.
Yesterday, they had stopped at Dai Mubai leading Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong toward the final test.
At the final test of Shrek Academy's assessment, Zhao Wuji had already been waiting for quite some time. "Since all four of you passed the second and third tests without having to take them, I'll personally play with you for a bit."
"I'll now give you one incense stick's worth of time to get to know one another. Once that incense stick burns out, the test will officially begin."
"Your test is for the four of you to join forces and withstand my attacks for one incense stick's worth of time. As long as even one of you holds out until the end, all of you pass."
"Teacher Zhao, isn't that a little inappropriate?" Dai Mubai said hesitantly.
Yet Zhao Wuji simply glared at him and said, "What's inappropriate about it? With the dean away, I have the final say in this academy. If I say it's fine, it's fine."
"Dai Mubai, tell them about my strength and characteristics so they can prepare."
At that moment, outside the Sky Screen, in the Spirit Hall era, hearing himself say those words again filled Zhao Wuji with regret.
"If I'd known these people had such powerful backgrounds, I definitely wouldn't have made a move!" Zhao Wuji said with absolute certainty.
Even now, thinking about it left Zhao Wuji with lingering fear. Fortunately, Tang Hao had only beaten him up that night and had done nothing else.
Fortunately, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, along with the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts by Xiao Wu's side, had not appeared either.
Otherwise, even dying ten thousand times would not have been enough!
Beside Zhao Wuji, Flender grew nervous as well. He turned to Yu Xiaogang beside him and asked,
"Xiaogang, do you think Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo will be displeased when they see how we treated Ning Rongrong in a little while?"
Flender was deeply worried that they would settle accounts with him after the harvest!
What had happened to Zhao Wuji back then was a cautionary tale.
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang patted Flender on the shoulder and said,
"Don't worry, Flender. Sect Master Ning gave us permission to guide Ning Rongrong back then."
"Besides, without our guidance, could Ning Rongrong have achieved what she has today? Could her martial soul have broken through?"
"So put your mind at ease, Flender. What's there to worry about?"
Yu Xiaogang grew more animated the more he spoke.
"Tell me, Flender, without our guidance, could the Shrek Seven Devils have achieved what they have today?"
"Could they have won the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament? Could Tang San have become a god?"
"Why didn't Tang San take me to the Divine Realm?"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang still dwelling on that question, Flender hurriedly comforted him.
"All right, Xiaogang, all right. Let's watch the Sky Screen first. Stop dwelling on that question."
Meanwhile, within the Sky Screen, after Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and the others in the anime finished devising their tactics, they officially began the assessment.
"Seven treasures turn forth, glazed tiles appear!" Ning Rongrong was the first to release her martial soul, and dazzling seven-colored light immediately poured out of her.
A seven-colored pagoda appeared in Ning Rongrong's hand, while two yellow soul rings simultaneously appeared beneath her feet.
"Seven Treasures Have Names, the first: strength."
As Ning Rongrong's words fell, her first hundred-year soul ring lit up. With a light motion of her left hand, three streaks of colored light shot out at once, enveloping Tang San and the other two respectively.
"Seven Treasures Have Names, the second: speed." Another three streaks of colored light drifted out from Ning Rongrong as her second soul ring lit up.
At that moment, in the modern era, Qian Renxue did not think Tang San and the others could win as she watched this.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support really is powerful, but even with the continent's number one support martial soul enhancing them, a few Soul Grandmasters shouldn't be able to beat Zhao Wuji, should they?" Qian Renxue asked.
"Of course not. Zhao Wuji is a Soul Saint, after all," Jiang Yan said.
"Then how did they pass the assessment?" Ye Guyi asked.
"Keep watching and you'll find out," Jiang Yan said.
Meanwhile, outside the Sky Screen, in the Spirit Hall era, seeing Ning Rongrong using the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda again made Ning Fengzhi sigh with emotion.
"Ever since Rongrong's martial soul evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, I've almost forgotten that hers used to be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda too."
"Yes. I just wonder whether another Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will appear in our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect after Rongrong," Sword Douluo said with a sigh as well.
"It certainly will," Ning Fengzhi said with absolute confidence.
"I believe that under Rongrong's leadership, more and more Soul Masters with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will appear in our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"
At that moment, within the Sky Screen, Qian Renxue happened to ask a similar question.
"Speaking of which, ten thousand or twenty thousand years later, would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda still count as the number one support martial soul?"
"Yes, but also no," Jiang Yan answered vaguely.
"What do you mean?" Qian Renxue asked in some confusion.
"If it's the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, then it truly deserves to be called the continent's number one support martial soul."
"But if it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda... especially if you include all the food-type and healing-type martial souls, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda might not actually be able to keep them all down," Jiang Yan explained.
At that moment, in the Sky Screen Livestream Room, Yu Xiaogang immediately lost his temper upon hearing this. In his theories, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was indisputably the continent's number one support martial soul.
[Yu Xiaogang: Does this person really understand martial souls? Even without the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is still the continent's number one support martial soul!]
[Yu Xiaogang: Even if you include every healing-type martial soul and food-type martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is still the number one support martial soul!]
