The Secret's Out~ A Thousand-Year Second Ring!

"What kind of joke is this?"

Dai Mubai was furious. Even now, he still thought Zhao Wuji was deliberately letting Tianyu use him as a punching bag. He wasn't moving a muscle-he wasn't even pretending anymore.

In truth, though, Zhao Wuji had troubles he couldn't voice. Fortunately, although Tianyu's Soul Power had a special effect, its level and purity were far inferior to his own.

With a bang, Zhao Wuji gritted his teeth. His eyes, which had been blinded by the flashbang, could finally see clearly again.

In an instant, he unleashed another Great Strength Vajra Palm. Unfortunately, he was moving much slower than before, so Tianyu jumped back and dodged it with ease.

"My third Soul Skill, boosted by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, really is ridiculously strong!"

The corners of Tianyu's mouth rose slightly, and he was delighted. Just then, however, Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes, as though taking aim at something.

"Kid, for a mere Soul Elder to force me to use my fifth Soul Skill is incredible. Flender was right-you're a monster among monsters!"

"If you can dodge this move, you'll win the assessment outright, hahaha."

Zhao Wuji laughed, and then his fourth Soul Ring flashed purple. In an instant, a terrifying force of gravity crushed down on Tianyu.

Fifth Soul Skill: Gravity Crush!

"Tianyu..." Zhu Zhuqing looked anxious. Eager to protect her master, she trembled constantly, her beautiful eyes quivering.

"It's fine, Zhu Zhuqing. Watch me work!" Tianyu calmly reassured Little Kitty through their Soul Contract.

"Gravity crushing me? Too bad, I'm invincible!"

Second Soul Skill: Invincible Golden Body!

In an instant, a rich golden sheen enveloped Tianyu's entire body. At the same time, the second hundred-year Yellow Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly made the sound of shattering glass.

Had anyone looked closely, they would have seen a white, hexagonal crystal shatter into specks of white Soul Power that dispersed between heaven and earth.

Tianyu: "Sorry, the secret's out~"

"My second ring is a thousand-year ring!"

The shattered white Heaven-Breaking Stone had a simple effect: an extremely powerful concealment and Simulation.

It had concealed the purple glow of Tianyu's Thousand-Year Soul Ring and made it look yellow!

In truth, Tianyu had only done all this because he had no choice. As a Soul Master from the bottom rung, if he casually revealed his thousand-year second ring...

He would probably be seized at once by one of the continent's top powers. At best, they would keep him as a dog without freedom; at worst, they would dissect him for research, leaving his life or death unknown!

But now that he had joined Shrek Academy, Tianyu could be said to have someone backing him, in a sense.

Once Tianyu used his second Soul Skill, however, the Heaven-Breaking Stone would dissipate on the spot and could not be used again.

"A thousand-year second ring? What kind of joke is this?!"

Flender and Zhao Wuji spoke almost in unison.

Ma Hongjun's and Dai Mubai's pupils had long since contracted sharply. Both looked utterly dumbfounded, and from that moment on, they were completely numb.

Oscar, meanwhile, had been gazing at Ning Rongrong with a lovestruck expression from beginning to end, his heart pounding. He knew full well that it was love at first sight~

Unfortunately, Ning Rongrong hadn't paid him the slightest attention from beginning to end. Instead, she stared at Tianyu's purple thousand-year second ring, her azure pupils contracting as her heart trembled.

Only Xiao Wu fell silent as she watched the effect of Tianyu's Soul Ring.

As for Tang San?

Tang San: "My eyes~"

[Fortune Points increased...]

The effect of Invincible Golden Body was actually much like Xiao Wu's fourth Soul Skill in the original story. Once activated-

For three seconds, it granted complete immunity to all physical and Soul Power attacks below the divine level. Nothing could hurt him!

When Tianyu had been a Soul Grandmaster, it had originally granted only two seconds of invincibility. Now that he had broken through to Soul Elder, he naturally had three, because every breakthrough of ten Soul Power levels added one second to the invincibility effect.

A bang rang out-

Sure enough, Tianyu was completely immune. Even the layer of invincible golden paint that had appeared on him was unbroken. He didn't budge, utterly fearless.

Actually, this is my real trump card, aside from my Divine Soul evolution and Scarlet Flame Lion! Tianyu clenched his fist and felt the effect of his invincibility, filled with emotion.

To absorb a thousand-year second ring back then, he had lost count of how many healing-type Heaven-Breaking Stones he had spent, because the physical improvement from absorbing hundred-year Whale Rubber alone had been of little use.

Fortunately, after the bitter came the sweet. He, Tianyu, had managed to obtain the thousand-year second ring every transmigrator needed. He hadn't disgraced his transmigrator predecessors!

After that strike, Zhao Wuji let out a deep sigh. Unlike his high-spirited self before the fight, his face was now black and blue.

There had been no helping it. To maximize the damage, Tianyu had had to aim for his face; otherwise, he couldn't have dodged those Great Strength Vajra Palms.

Just as Zhao Wuji was about to admit defeat, however, Xiao Wu pulled a playful stunt. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and her face was full of confidence.

Using the Soft Bone Rabbit's speed, she darted right up to Zhao Wuji's face in moments. She activated her second Soul Skill, Charm, and her beautiful eyes instantly turned pink.

Unfortunately, the gap between Zhao Wuji's and Xiao Wu's mental strength was simply too great.

With a thud, Xiao Wu charged in, her eyes rolled back, blood spurted from her nose and mouth, and she fell.

Tianyu: "Teammate, don't feed!"

It was worth mentioning that Xiao Wu had fallen right in front of Tang San. He had just recovered from his eye injury, but the moment he opened his eyes...

Tang San: "?"

Tang San was dumbfounded for a moment. When he came to his senses, his eyes were cold and bloodshot.

At the same time, Tang San glared fiercely at Zhao Wuji. He even clenched his fists, his eyes crimson and his breath coming like a bull's!

"Xiao Wu, don't worry. I'll avenge you!"

"Senior Immovable Wisdom King, I challenge you to a one-on-one fight!"

Zhao Wuji: "?"

"Come on, man, you were a freeloader who did nothing but ride your team to victory just now. How do you have the face to challenge me to a one-on-one fight?!"

As soon as he said that, the Soul Skill's effect ended, and Tianyu had already left the field carrying Zhu Zhuqing.

Unlike in the original story, where Zhu Zhuqing had suffered the miserable fate of being knocked unconscious by a Great Strength Vajra Palm, she was now held in Tianyu's arms.

Little Kitty felt warm all over. She smiled happily, the black cat ears on her head trembling with comfort, her heart full of joy.

"Boss Dai, your fiancée..." Ma Hongjun drove the knife in again.

"I know. Stop talking. Don't say another word..." Dai Mubai ground his teeth in anger, but after the fight just now...

He knew he was no match for Tianyu. He could only stand quietly to the side and watch OMO, a genuine, useless husband!

Huh, I didn't look closely just now. My Fortune Points actually went up by another 91. Sure enough, 91 is my lucky number~ Tianyu thought in all seriousness.

Meanwhile, much like the plot of the original story, Tang San had challenged Zhao Wuji on his own, with his Hidden Weapons and poison as his trump cards!

Yet without the Dragon Whisker Needle, he couldn't even break Zhao Wuji's skin, despite using plenty of poison.

The actual damage was less than a single ordinary attack from Tianyu!

And just like that, Tang San charged in, and Tang San fell again~

Tianyu had watched the fight closely from beginning to end. Seeing the dense swarm of Hidden Weapons, he was immensely glad he had taken the Dragon Whisker Needle ahead of time.

When the fight ended, Tianyu was completely unharmed, but Tang San had it rough. Even as he fell, the pink screen in Tianyu's mind brought good news!

[Fortune Points increased by 300!]
