Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 249 Scorching Escape

Just as Wu Changkong was staring intently at Su Mo on the screen, an old woman with silver hair appeared silently beside him.

The newcomer was none other than Cai Yue'er, the Dean of the Outer Court of Shrek Academy, a Silver Moon Douluo with a renowned reputation in the Soul Master world.

Upon seeing Cai Yue'er, Wu Changkong immediately bowed respectfully, "Elder Cai!"

In response to Wu Changkong's bow, Cai Yue'er simply waved her hand dismissively, then looked at Su Mo on the screen and said in a deep voice, "This child is Su Mo?"

"Yes!"

Wu Changkong nodded respectfully.

Cai Yue'er didn't continue speaking, but instead observed Su Mo together with Wu Changkong.

"Is this a virtual space similar to the Tang Sect's Hall of Heroes?"

Su Mo ignored the gorilla in front of him that had already assumed an attack stance, and instead curiously looked around at his surroundings.

Such luxurious space simulation technology is only used to test students' individual abilities; Shrek Academy is absolutely top-notch in terms of teaching resources.

Although the gorilla in front of us was simulated by Shrek using data.

However, apart from not being able to drop soul rings and soul bones like real soul beasts, it was otherwise no different from the gorilla Su Mo had seen in the Star Dou Forest.

"roar--!"

Seeing that he was being ignored, the gorilla was instantly enraged, feeling that his dignity had been challenged, and pounded his chest with a deafening roar.

The next moment, it suddenly leaped up, its massive body like a falling mountain, crashing down on Su Mo with terrifying force.

However, Su Mo simply touched the ground with his toes and stepped back, effortlessly avoiding the powerful blow from the gorilla.

"roar!!"

The attack missed, and the gorilla was thoroughly enraged.

It roared to the sky, raised its arms high, and slammed its thick, bucket-like arms down to the ground.

However, Su Mo's movements were even faster.

"Earth Escape - Earthquake Core".

Su Mo raised his hand and snapped his fingers crisply.

In an instant, the ground beneath the gorilla's feet seemed to come alive, rapidly rising and lifting it up.

The sudden shift in the center of gravity caught the gorilla off guard, and its massive body began to shake violently after losing its balance.

"Scorching Escape - Over-Steaming Kill".

Seeing this, Su Mo raised his right hand, and the chakra at the tip of his index finger rapidly flowed and compressed, quickly condensing into a huge fireball with a diameter of more than three meters at the tip of Su Mo's index finger.

What's strange is that after Su Mo summoned such a huge fireball, the surrounding temperature didn't change at all.

Moreover, the fireball Su Mo summoned was excessively bright, almost like a miniature sun compressed to its extreme.

"go."

Su Mo waved his arm.

The fireball roared out and hurtled straight toward the gorilla.

When Cai Yue'er saw this scene on the screen, a smug smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

"He's still just a child after all."

Cai Yue'er's tone was calm, with a hint of condescending composure: "Using fire element to deal with a gorilla is still too naive."

Since Su Mo defeated Yu Longxin in public three years ago, causing Shrek Academy to suffer a great embarrassment, Shrek Academy has begun to investigate Su Mo's martial soul information.

With the information provided by Wu Changkong, Shrek Academy has gained a general understanding of Su Mo's martial soul.

This time, the gorilla was the opponent she specifically chose for Su Mo.

Although the King Kong Ape is not as powerful or large as a dominant soul beast like the Titan Ape.

However, it possesses a talent that the Titan Ape does not have: extremely high elemental resistance.

King Kongs are born with extremely high resistance to the four basic elements: wind, fire, water, and earth.

In addition, gorillas are extremely strong physically and should not be underestimated.

With its extremely high elemental resistance and impressive defense, the King Kong Ape is one of the opponents that every elemental-type Soul Master least wants to face.

But Cai Yue'er's smile quickly froze.

Faced with the massive fireball hurtling towards him, the gorilla angrily pounded his chest, roared to the sky, and then got up and charged into it.

The moment the gorilla collided with the fireball, the massive fireball vanished as quickly as ice and snow melting away.

It merged into the body of the gorilla.

"Sizzle—!"

With a piercing "sizzle" sound, a large amount of white steam rose wildly from the gorilla's body.

The gorilla's once robust body rapidly shrank and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few moments, the enormous gorilla was transformed into a lifeless, dried-up corpse.

"How is this possible?"

Watching Su Mo instantly kill the gorilla, Cai Yue'er's previous composure vanished, replaced by an incredulous look as she stared at Su Mo on the screen.

You should know that it was a 10,000-year-old gorilla.

Even if Su Mo possessed the ultimate fire, with his level 47 Soul Master cultivation, he couldn't possibly kill him instantly.

But the reality is that Su Mo killed the King Kong in one move.

After a brief moment of shock, Cai Yue'er took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the shock in her heart.

Then he turned to Wu Changkong, who was still in a daze, and ordered, "Changkong, copy down Su Mo's battle sequence."

Cai Yue'er's tone was so calm that Wu Changkong couldn't detect any change in her emotions at all.

But only Cai Yue'er herself knew how shocked she was.

The ability that Su Mo just displayed was simply too exaggerated, far exceeding her understanding as an elder of the Sea God Pavilion.

Shrek Academy needs to re-examine Su Mo's martial soul.

"clear!"

After regaining his senses, Wu Changkong nodded solemnly.

Su Mo was teleported away immediately after defeating the King Kong.

As soon as Su Mo returned to reality, before she could even adjust to the suddenly changed environment, she sensed someone approaching from behind.

Without any hesitation, Su Mo instinctively dodged to the side.

"!!!"

Cai Yue'er, who originally wanted to greet Su Mo, looked at her hand hanging in mid-air and slightly withdrew its light.

Su Mo was merely a Soul Master, yet he actually managed to react to the actions of this Super Douluo.

This can no longer be explained by the phrase "extraordinary talent".

Cai Yue'er suppressed her shock and looked at Su Mo with admiration. "He really is a little monster!"

"Huh~"

Su Mo got goosebumps from Cai Yue'er's stare.

Being stared at intently by an elderly woman would send chills down anyone's spine.

Seeing Su Mo's disgusted expression, Cai Yue'er didn't care too much and asked Su Mo about what had just happened with a smile.

"Su Mo, what was that move you just made?"

"secret!"

Su Mo replied without hesitation.

He would never reveal the secret of the Scorching Release technique to anyone.

Although the Scorching Release is a bloodline limit that he recreated by fusing wind and fire chakra.

However, the Scorching Release itself has no power.

It cannot melt steel like Fire Release, nor can it cut opponents like Wind Release.

The reason I was able to kill the King Kong in one hit was because of the special effect of the Scorch Release.

The Scorching Release technique evaporates the water in the opponent's body upon impact, making it a bloodline limit specifically designed for life.

That's why defending against the Scorching Release is very simple; just grab anything to block it.

Rejected by Su Mo, Cai Yue'er's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but she did not lash out on the spot.

There's plenty of time. Once Su Mo joins Shrek Academy, she'll have plenty of opportunities to find out more about him.

"I have high hopes for you!"

After saying that, Cai Yue'er left without looking back.
