Peerless: Gu Master Transforms Douluo.

Xuanzi was once Shrek Academy's proudest genius.

Although I've been stuck at level 99 for countless years and haven't been able to take that final step, I can still easily crush weaker opponents.

Even though Xuanzi deliberately held back in the face of Jing Hongchen's obstruction, the power of the Taotie Divine Ox was still fully displayed.

Without Tang Yin by his side to protect him, Xuanzi's powerful cultivation as a level 98 Super Douluo was a level of overwhelming superiority among this group of Sun Moon Soul Masters.

If I can't beat someone of the same level like Du Bu Si, can't I at least beat you Soul Masters? Dealing with Jing Hong Chen, who isn't even a Super Douluo, is a piece of cake.

It's important to understand that at the Title Douluo level, the difference brought about by a single level of advancement is enormous.

Especially after reaching level 95, the Super Douluo realm is a hurdle at every level, with each level's advancement being even more exaggerated than the gap between Soul Saint and Title Douluo.

The final ninety-ninth level needs no further explanation, as the opening of the second soul core makes it completely different from the Super Douluo level.

Moreover, Limit Douluo can also use the second soul core he has created to comprehend additional spatial power!
Once a Soul Master possesses a second Soul Core, they can perceive all the energy existing in the Douluo Continent with greater precision through the relationship between the two Soul Cores, including the power of space.

Those who cultivate dual soul cores that complement Yin and Yang are exceptionally gifted in their understanding of space, which is one of the main reasons why Di Tian is far ahead of other Limit Douluos.

With the help of his control over spatial power, the Limit Douluo's combat strength and mobility have been greatly enhanced, making him almost invincible from the start.

Cultivation becomes increasingly difficult after reaching the title of Title Douluo. Take Yan Shaozhe, the former number one genius of Shrek Academy, for example. Now, at nearly a hundred years old, he has been stuck at level ninety-five for decades.

Shrek Academy is never short of geniuses, but even geniuses face immense difficulties every step of the way after becoming Super Douluo.

Those Soul Masters in the Sun Moon Empire who rose to power through drug use are utterly useless; even breaking through to Super Douluo is an impossible task for them.

It was precisely for this reason that the appearance of the Battle Armor pointed out the direction for the group of ninth-level Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire. It was because they saw that the Battle Armor could make up for their own shortcomings in cultivation that they decided to abandon Xu Tianran and turn to the Spirit Pagoda.

Kong Deming: That's exactly me!

As the number one Soul Master in the Sun Moon Empire, he has been in seclusion for many years, searching for the path to becoming a Level 10 Soul Master.

He was thinking of using his own martial spirit, with the help of the power of heaven and earth, to merge with the soul tool and create his own natal soul tool.

This is similar to the concept of battle armor.

But this path is too difficult to replicate.

Kong Deming forged his own path by relying on the spiritual metals accumulated by the Sun Moon Empire over thousands of years, coupled with his powerful martial soul talent. Other soul masters simply cannot learn from him.

The Spirit Pagoda possesses the core technology of spirit-infused forging, enabling it to mass-produce and upgrade rare metals with spiritual properties, thereby creating battle armor that can be integrated with the Soul Master.

The emergence of this technology is completely revolutionary for the current traditional soul tool system. Conventional soul tools are like a joke in the face of this battle armor that can fuse with martial souls.

Furthermore, given the exposed strength of the Spirit Pagoda and the watchful eyes of Di Tian in the shadows, Kong Deming dared not harbor any disloyal thoughts and could only watch helplessly as Xu Tianran walked towards his death.

Just as Xuanzi completed his mission of infiltrating the third level of the Imperial Armory, the decapitation plan on the other side was also brought to a successful conclusion.

In fact, most of the soul guides and fixed soul guide shells of level seven and above transferred from the armory were secretly installed under the palace, except for those used for ambushes outside Mingdu.

This is the foundation of the empire, and also Xu Tianran's trump card. Being naturally suspicious, he would not rashly put himself in danger.

Not only did he conceal his Title Douluo-level cultivation, but he also possessed several level-nine soul tools for defense, had Elder Kong secretly watching him, and was protected by a heavily armed imperial palace fortress.

This configuration is practically a dragon charging in.

Xu Tianran couldn't figure out what he could possibly lose with.

He used himself as bait to lure the enemy deep into his territory, leaving one side undefended.

This is his three-step plan.

However, the outcome was so dramatic.

Qiu'er: I got up and took him down in one shot. What's there to say?

Even Kong Deming, who was secretly watching the show, had to sigh: It's not that Xu Tianran is useless, it's just that the Spirit Pagoda is too abnormal.

This suddenly emerging force is not only full of extraordinary talents, but also has the background of ferocious beasts, completely disrupting the balance of the continent!
Kong Deming had initially hoped that Xu Tianran's plan might succeed, and that there might be further negotiations.

The result was a complete defeat.

Kong Deming himself was also singled out by Di Tian.

There's really nothing we can do about it.

I have no choice but to turn to a wise ruler.

By the way, does this set a record for the shortest term of the Sun and Moon Emperors?
There was no time to mourn Xu Tianran's death; what arrived immediately was Xuanzi's attack on the Imperial Armory.

Mingde Hall, highest level of security!

When Kong Deming received this news from Ye Yulin, his face turned extremely ugly. He felt as if a dead fly was stuck in his throat, making him feel nauseous and frustrated.

If Xuanzi were to actually detonate the armory, the losses suffered by the Sun Moon Empire this time would be incalculable.

"Is this a feint?"

Kong Deming's heart skipped a beat. "Does Shrek Academy not trust us? No wonder we haven't seen any trace of Taotie Douluo..."

This time, I'm afraid we've failed...

Countless terrible thoughts flashed through his mind, but the experienced man quickly forced himself to calm down.
Turning to Di Tian beside him, Kong Deming cautiously inquired, "Your Majesty, I just received news that Xuanzi is attacking the Sun and Moon's armory. Does this violate the premise of our previous cooperation?"

Kong Deming is now genuinely afraid that the other side will betray him once they've served their purpose. If the worst-case scenario really happens, the Sun Moon Empire, with its current strength, will have no power to resist.

Di Tian:?
What the heck? Where did Xuanzi go?

Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his demeanor unfathomable.

Pretending to be an expert without saying a word.JPG
His mission this time was very clear: to keep an eye on Qiu'er and her group, confirm Xu Tianran's death, and incidentally guard against the Holy Spirit Cult.

After all, Ye Xishui, with her Limit Douluo-level combat power, cannot be ignored.

In the face of such an emergency, even Di Tian couldn't do anything about it.

"This matter has nothing to do with us," Di Tian said calmly.

Even if Xuanzi really does court death, it is his personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Spirit Pagoda or Shrek Academy.

Upon hearing this, Kong Deming breathed a sigh of relief and then suggested that he should rush over to support Mingde Hall, otherwise, if Xuanzi really detonated the armory, not only would the losses be heavy, but it would also affect subsequent cooperation.

Di Tian nodded, silently glancing in the direction of Huo Yuhao's spiritual body. He believed that with the other party's strength, he must already know.

"Don't worry, I've already sent the demon spirit with Xiong Jun over there." Huo Yuhao's message came through his mental power.

Di Tian nodded to indicate that he understood, then looked at Kong Deming beside him and repeated, "Don't worry, our Spirit Pagoda has already sent people over there. You can go and help if you want."

Kong Deming felt as if he had been granted a general amnesty. He immediately instructed his trusted subordinates to clean up the mess in the palace, while he himself activated his flying soul tool and rushed towards the location of the Sun Moon Royal Academy.

……

Sun and Moon Armory

Just as Xuanzi was worrying about how to operate the soul tool, the guidance of Qiankun Asking Love Valley appeared.

Guided by the foolproof operation, he quickly installed a high-level timed high-explosive soul tool among many fixed soul tools.

Hehehe, my mission is complete!

He could sense a chilling danger. "But an explosion of this level certainly wouldn't kill a Limit Douluo, right?" Xuanzi couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

As expected, Jing Hongchen was just exaggerating.

Do you really think you can spout nonsense just because you don't know anything?

Fortunately, there is guidance from the gods. However, will the gods also keep up with the times and use the soul tools of Douluo Continent?
Although he was somewhat curious, Xuanzi knew that the most urgent task was to escape as soon as possible.

The next step in this deep adventure is to escape Mingdu and head to Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

There are still more than half of the three-day deadline left, but Mingdu, which was subsequently bombed, will inevitably be under martial law. Once Mingdetang and the others realize what's happening, it won't be so easy for them to get out.

"Old Mu will definitely understand me."

Xuanzi murmured to himself, "This is a divine opportunity!" His heart began to pound violently at the thought.

This is truly the Shrek Academy favored by heaven!

Admittedly, judging from the apparent difference in soul power level and strength, Tang Yin is not worthy to carry Huo Yuhao's shoes.

However, Tang Yin was favored by the gods, which was a victory.

This is a chance to become a god!

For tens of thousands of years, very few soul masters have been chosen by the gods. This is not only a recognition of talent, but also a blessing from fate!
Looking at their upbringing, Huo Yuhao was a genius nurtured by Shrek Academy with all his might, possessing maxed-out spirit rings and spirit bones, and was personally taught by the Limit Douluo, Elder Mu.

In contrast, Tang Yin was a self-taught amateur who relied entirely on his own hard work and struggles to survive, growing wildly on the edge of life and death.

Even so, Tang Yin still caught up with most of the geniuses, and even crushed some Soul Masters who also had twin Martial Souls but enjoyed abundant resources. This was his second victory.

What Xuanzi was most proud of was Tang Yin's comprehension.

Huo Yuhao's understanding of the "King of the World" technique couldn't mask the defeat's dejection, while Tang Yin's mastery of the Haotian Techniques showcased the victor's brilliance.

Tang Yin had only been exposed to both Tang Clan's unique skills and Haotian's ultimate techniques for a short time, yet he was already so proficient in them.

The appearance of the Great Sumeru Hammer's ultimate technique, Ring Explosion, further convinced Xuanzi that his disciple's astonishing comprehension far surpassed that of other geniuses of the same age. This was the third victory!
In a daze, Xuanzi saw a rising star comparable to Tang San, standing proudly at the top of the continent, just like Tang San did back then, and starting his own legend.

The path to godhood, which has been severed for millennia, seems about to shine again in this young man!
"As expected, Tang Yin is still stronger!" Xuanzi's lips unconsciously curled up, his eyes full of satisfaction and expectation.

Even the eyes of the gods are like this.

Otherwise, why hasn't Huo Yuhao been favored by the gods yet?

Xuanzi even had a bold guess.

In just a few short years, Huo Yuhao's strength has increased to an incomprehensible level, which is simply unbelievable and completely breaks the common sense of soul masters.

Not to mention that it is difficult for normal Soul Masters to reach, even evil Soul Masters who can improve themselves by killing people feel that they are far beyond the reach of the world.

"Perhaps, Huo Yuhao is the real evil soul master."

Once this thought arose, it spread wildly in Xuanzi's mind, and he even began to make connections.

Could Huo Yuhao's relentless attacks on the Holy Spirit Cult be a cover-up for his own identity, especially since the cult is leading the smear campaign against Tang San's glorious deeds, which seems a bit like the thief crying "stop thief!"

How could such a villain allow the glorious deeds of the Sea God to be slandered?
However, Xuanzi could only keep these speculations to himself.

After all, Huo Yuhao is now the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, so he shouldn't say things that are detrimental to unity.

Fortunately, Tang Yin's appearance gave Xuanzi hope that his injustice could be redressed. As the saying goes, fortunes change, and one should never underestimate a young man's potential.

As long as Tang Yin can successfully complete the divine assessment, and the other party finally unleashes their accumulated power, the truth will naturally come to light.

The peak produces hypocritical supporters, and the dusk witnesses devout believers!
Lord Poseidon is the true successor of Shrek Academy!
Tang Yin is the most suitable successor of Shrek Academy!
"What are you muttering about?"

A thunderous roar exploded, and before the words had even finished, a gigantic figure shot out like a cannonball.

It was none other than the ferocious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, Bear Lord!
The moment Xiong Jun locked his gaze on Xuan Zi, he made a ruthless move without hesitation.

In terms of cultivation level alone, Xiong Jun is only slightly stronger than Chi Wang, but in terms of direct combat ability, he is far ahead.

As the king of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan, its melee combat ability is second only to Di Tian among all the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest!
This is the confidence that Dark Gold Terrorclaw gives it!
"Die for me!"

With a powerful push of its hind legs, Xiong Jun leaped into the air, its pair of dark golden claws gleaming with a cold, sharp light suddenly extending outwards.

The indestructible dark gold claws were as sharp as knives, extending nearly a hundred meters into dark gold blades from the air. Like a giant axe falling from the sky, it brought with it the momentum to tear the heavens apart and slammed down on Xuanzi!

Xuanzi felt a bone-chilling cold rush straight to the top of his head, and a strong sense of crisis came over him. He had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong with his condition, as if countless invisible threads were interfering with and affecting him.

Someone is using a mental technique to ambush me!

There was no time to think; the dark gold blade hadn't even arrived yet, but its sharp aura almost tore through his robes.

Xuanzi's pupils shrank sharply, and the seventh soul ring under his feet lit up instantly, with a bright yellow light bursting out from him!

The true form of Wuhun!

Xuanzi's figure quickly disappeared in the bright yellow light, replaced by the phantom of a huge divine beast.

It has the body of a sheep and the face of a human, with a pair of curved, bluish-gold ox horns on its forehead, sharp tiger teeth showing at the corners of its mouth, and its limbs covered with thick, bright yellow scales.

For experts at Xuanzi's level, their Martial Soul True Body moves at will and is no longer subject to cooldown restrictions.

Outside the armory, the Taotie's true form, unleashing its full power, resembled a colossal beast supporting the sky, even larger than Xiong Jun's size.

The bright yellow flames danced like fire, instantly dispelling the mental energy that was disturbing the mind.

After activating his Martial Soul True Form, Xuanzi immediately broke free from the influence of the demon spirit's spiritual soul skill. He stared intently at Xiong Jun not far away, his eyes filled with utter horror.

This isn't the Star Dou Great Forest, so why did a ferocious beast randomly spawn here?
Oh no, it's the Spirit Pagoda!
I've been caught red-handed!
In the shadows, a figure quietly disappeared.

Demon: It's moist, it's moist, you guys can attack.

She wasn't good at direct combat, nor was she as skilled in mental skills as Huo Yuhao. Her main purpose in coming here was to keep an eye on Xiong Jun, this impulsive and silly big guy, and also to clean up the mess in the underground warehouse.

Now that Xiong Jun and Xuan Zi are facing off, the demon spirit naturally has no need to stay where it is. It turns around and rushes towards the third-floor warehouse to prepare to disarm the bomb.

It's good that it wasn't Di Tian who came.

Seeing the giant claw rushing towards him, Xuanzi felt a little more at ease. He then flew high into the air to meet Xiong Jun's attack.

Hmph, colluding with ferocious beasts!

Xuanzi discovered another flaw in Huo Yuhao, and noted it down for now.

In short, take off and move the battlefield.

To avoid affecting the underground explosion.

So what if it's a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?

It's just a ferocious beast that's less than 500,000 years old. How can it compare to my level 98 cultivation that I've honed through countless trials?

Moreover, as a Taotie Divine Ox Martial Soul with the Earth attribute, defense is Xuanzi's forte, so he is confident that he can defeat Xiong Jun.

Guaranteed win! (End of Chapter)
