Douluo: The Gate to Heaven

"Oh? Knowing that there's a Soul Fusion Technique, you still dared to bet on Tuoba Wukong. Does this kid have some other trump card? Could it also be a Soul Fusion Technique? That's impossible. When the levels of two Soul Masters are too far apart, it's absolutely impossible to use a Soul Fusion Technique. Besides, I've never heard of the Tu Nan family's Soul Fusion Technique, which burns their own lifespan." Yan Shaozhe muttered to himself, also curious about Qian Duoduo's confidence.

Qian Duoduo remained calm and said, "Just wait and see. The battle situation is gradually becoming clear. They should be using their trump cards soon. But I'm warning you, if you admit defeat later, don't deny it. Otherwise, even if it goes to the Sea God Conference, I won't let you off the hook."

The Sea God Conference is the highest-level meeting that determines the development and survival of Shrek Academy. It is also the place where Shrek Academy makes its true decisions. Every member of the Sea God Conference is Shrek Academy's most powerful trump card.

Even the appointment and removal of the dean of Shrek Academy is subject to the interference of the Sea God Council. If it escalates to the Sea God Council, not only will the Sea God Council be unable to do anything about it, but they will also lose all face.

A mischievous glint flashed in Yan Shaozhe's eyes. Face? How many times had he lost face like this? This time, he was determined to dig out the big secret that Lao Qian was hiding.

Listening to the clash between the two deans, the teachers watching also focused their attention on the duel between Tuoba Wukong's team and Dai Huabin's team. Many people's eyes were fixed on Tuoba Wukong, filled with deep curiosity.

Of course, some people have sinister faces and fierce glints in their eyes.

"Zhu Lu, Cui Yajie, you two hold off Tu Nan Bupo." On the stage, Dai Huabin saw that Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie were unable to defeat Tuoba Wukong for a long time. He was also under immense pressure from Tu Nan Bupo. He couldn't help but get angry. He shouted and unleashed his first soul skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier. After the rising white light forced Tu Nan Bupo back, he ignored Tu Nan Bupo and launched a fierce attack on Tuoba Wukong.

Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie exchanged a glance and simultaneously charged towards Tu Nan Bupo.

Tu Nan Bu Po glanced at Zhu Lu and Cui Ya Jie who were blocking his way, but instead of trying to stop Dai Hua Bin, he unleashed his full power. His "battle intent" erupted once again, and Tu Nan's spear pressed down on Zhu Lu with unstoppable force.

He had enough confidence in Tuoba Wukong.

As expected, Tuoba Wukong's expression remained unchanged when facing Dai Huabin at close range. His double shields, like two door panels, firmly blocked Dai Huabin's attack.

boom!

After a violent impact, Tuoba Wukong only took a few steps back before absorbing the full force of Dai Huabin's claw attack.

"If you want to be a turtle, then I'll tear your shell apart!" Dai Huabin roared, unleashing the White Tiger Vajra Transformation once more. He swung his claws wildly, each landing in the same spot. Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie on the other side were also enduring the same onslaught. The contest was between the two sides to see who could break through the other's defenses faster.

With each strike of Dai Huabin's claws, a claw mark several centimeters deep would appear on the heavy shield in front of Tuoba Wukong.

Faced with Dai Huabin's ferocious offensive, the heavy shield made of refined iron was quickly reduced to fragments and shattered under Dai Huabin's tiger claws.

All that stood in Tuoba Wukong's way was that silver portal, shimmering with the light of a purple thousand-year soul ring technique.

It's just a Soul Master's Soul Skill, so what if it's a thousand-year-old Soul Skill?

Dai Huabin never took the silver gate in front of Tuoba Wukong seriously. Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie couldn't break through the silver gate's defense simply because they weren't Dai Huabin. In front of his White Tiger Martial Soul, no defense could withstand it.

Roar!

Dai Huabin's aura surged, and a sound like a tiger's roar emanated from his body. Like a real tiger descending the mountain, his aura reached its peak. A claw descended with lightning speed, its sharp blade gleaming with a cold light in the sunlight.

Clang!

As the tiger's claws descended, the silver portal seemed to exist outside of this world; the mysterious and cold portal remained completely still.

"How is this possible?" Dai Huabin's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. His most powerful attack was like a stone thrown into the ocean in front of a mere Soul Master's first Soul Skill, without even causing a ripple.

"I don't believe it!" Even the proud Dai Huabin couldn't help but break down. In an instant, an attack even more ferocious than before poured down, the tiger claws slamming into Tuoba Wukong's Tongtian Gate like a storm.

The attack, capable of tearing apart a heavy shield made of refined iron, landed on the silver portal without leaving even the slightest scratch.

The silver portal was like an insurmountable chasm, always separating Dai Huabin and Tuoba Wukong.

"What a terrifying skill! This level of defense is no less than Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Shield. No wonder it's the number one soul skill in a thousand years." Looking at the unmoving silver gate, Qian Duoduo was both puzzled and amazed.

As far as he knew, wasn't that kid's first soul skill a recovery skill? When did it become a defensive soul skill, and such a terrifying one at that?

Yan Shaozhe mocked, "Old Qian, you're getting worse with age. You can't even understand spatial power anymore? This kid's defensive skill is different from Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Turtle Shield. It borrows spatial power. Unless you can break through spatial power or have a corresponding method to counter it, no matter how powerful the method is, it's impossible to break through the defensive effect of his soul skill."

"To defeat this kid, we can only bypass this portal, or exhaust his soul power. Maintaining a thousand-year soul skill requires a huge amount of soul power, especially when attacked. Every second will severely deplete his soul power. Once his soul power is exhausted, the defense of this spatial portal will naturally cease to exist."

That makes sense, but it won't be easy for Dai Huabin to exhaust Tuoba Wukong's soul power in a short time. For some reason, this kid's soul power is exceptionally strong.

Yan Shaozhe's eyes gleamed. The more he looked at Tuoba Wukong, the more he seemed like a promising talent. Although he started a little late and was only a one-ring Soul Master at the moment, the scarcity of spatial attribute Martial Souls could already make up for this shortcoming. Once this kid grew up, with his spatial power, he would be enough to become one of the most terrifying Soul Masters of the same level.

The power of space is a terrifying force that only those who have reached the level of Limit Douluo can access.

No, such a good prospect shouldn't be given away to Old Qian for nothing.

Yan Shaozhe's mind was in turmoil. Everyone said that Qian Duoduo was a miserly penny-pincher, but when it came to these promising talents in the Martial Soul system, Yan Shaozhe was the one who truly couldn't bear to let them go. Otherwise, none of the top twenty seed Soul Masters in the Martial Soul system over the years would have joined the Soul Guidance system.

Qian Duoduo snorted coldly, seemingly seeing through Yan Shaozhe's thoughts, and said indifferently, "Old Yan, I know what you're up to the moment you stick your butt out. You old rascal, your eyes are rolling so wide, you've already set your sights on Tuoba Wukong, haven't you?"

Ignoring Yan Shaozhe's guilty look, Qian Duoduo, with a serious and honest demeanor, earnestly said, "Alas, it's not that I don't want to give Tuoba Wukong to you, but that this kid's talent in martial spirit cultivation is really just average. What I value in this kid is not his talent in martial spirit cultivation."

"To be honest, although this kid's martial soul is not bad, it is a rare space-type martial soul, but his innate soul power and cultivation talent are really poor. When I met him and recruited him into Shrek Academy, he had not even reached level ten. He only broke through one ring three months ago by chance after absorbing the soul ring of the Purple Sky Sable."

"His current cultivation level has improved because of the effects of the Profound Water Pill and Soul Ascension Pill that I swindled from you. Once the effects of these drugs wear off, his soul power will increase even more slowly."

"Instead of letting him waste his time with you and achieve nothing, it would be better to improve his cultivation through medicine and focus on researching soul tools."

Qian Duoduo explained so much because he was really too familiar with Yan Shaozhe's nature, but he didn't have much confidence in Tuoba Wukong. This kid had shown interest in martial spirit cultivation more than once, and if Yan Shaozhe made a promise, there was a high chance that he would really be lured away by Yan Shaozhe.

This is also the dilemma that the Soul Guidance Department has always faced: unless there is really no future in the development of the Martial Soul Department, who would come to the Soul Guidance Department?

These youngsters are all arrogant and haughty, completely unaware that with the support of his Soul Guidance Department's resources, many of them have achieved far greater success than they would have in the Martial Soul Department.

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe looked at Du Weilun.

Du Weilun said, "Dean, Dean Qian is right. Before entering the academy, Tuoba Wukong's test record showed that his soul power was level nine and he was thirteen years old. According to the investigation, he was a member of the Wulong Tuoba family of the Heavenly Soul Empire. His cultivation speed was extremely slow when he was in the Tuoba family. His innate soul power was level five, but he only increased his soul power by two levels in two years. This was even with no shortage of rare and precious materials. As a result, he was expelled from the Tuoba family..."

He was promoted four levels in seven years...

Yan Shaozhe remained silent. This talent was indeed hard to describe. Even with a rare spatial martial soul, if the talent was too poor, the soul power could not be improved and it would be of no use.

Even if drugs are used, with this kind of qualification, no matter how much investment is made, the upper limit is at most the seventh ring or even lower, and the resources consumed are astronomical.

Does the Martial Soul system really have enough resources to cultivate a Space-type Soul Master with a maximum level of only seven rings? And is it worth it? With these resources, it would be enough to cultivate one or two Title Douluos.

Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe had already decided to give up on Tuoba Wukong.

It's a pity that there's such a rare space martial soul owner. Old Qian hasn't had it easy these past few years, so let's just give this kid to him!
