Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 235 Star Staff

"Hmm? Is a monocle a custom at the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy? It seems quite a few teachers have been wearing them along the way." Xu Xiaoyan looked at the two of them with some curiosity. However, her focus was a little off.

"This is Ye Lingfeng, the dean of our Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy. The other is Ye Lingyun, the dean's grandson and a renowned genius within the academy."

Don't underestimate him just because he's only in his early twenties. He's still missing one piece of battle armor to officially become a Battle Armor Master.

"Eh! Really?" Xu Xiaoyan said with some surprise. To be about to become a Battle Armor Master at just over twenty years old meant that the young man in front of her was definitely a Soul King.

Even within Shrek Academy, this young man could definitely be considered a genius, the kind who could be admitted to the inner academy.

"Dean." As the old man approached, Li Yunlong immediately greeted him respectfully.

"Hmm." Ye Lingfeng responded indifferently, glanced at Xu Xiaoyan, and said to Nan Fusheng, "This is the little girl you went to so much trouble to help, right? She's quite pretty, no wonder you were so persistent back then."

"Ahem, Grandpa Lingfeng, I think we should focus on the important matter at hand. Is Brother Lingyun our opponent this time?" Nan Fusheng stepped in to smooth things over, noticing Xu Xiaoyan's slightly flushed face.

However, he did not receive a response for quite some time.

"Say it again."

"what?"

"I said, what did you just call me? Say it again."

"Grandpa Lingfeng!"

This guy actually went too far.

"Yes, good child. Don't worry, your Grandpa Lingfeng will definitely help you with this experiment, and your brother Lingyun is indeed your opponent this time. His cultivation level has reached level fifty-four, which is enough to be an opponent for the three of you."

Ye Lingfeng squinted, listening to his original body call him "Grandpa," and he felt incredibly happy, immediately bursting into laughter.

At this moment, Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Well then, before the competition begins, let's all introduce ourselves. After all, friendship comes first, competition second."

At this moment, Ye Lingyun, who was standing behind Ye Lingfeng, stepped forward and said, "My name is Ye Lingyun, and I am a Soul Master of Agility and Defense."

"Nan Fusheng, a control-type Soul Master."

"Fors, a power-attack type Soul Master."

"Xu Xiaoyan, a control-type Soul Master."

Nan Fusheng and his two companions immediately introduced themselves, much to Xu Xiaoyan's surprise. Agility-based attack? Defense?

Can these two systems be mixed together? As a member of the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy, Ye Lingyun should be a flying-type Soul Master.

"Alright, I'll take charge of controlling the observatory. I'll activate the observatory barrier shortly. This is just a friendly spar, so let's stop here." Li Yunlong said with a smile.

"However, before that, please go up to the observatory, Junior Sister Xiaoyan."

"Okay." Xu Xiaoyan turned around, looked at Nan Fusheng's encouraging gaze, and walked towards the observatory without hesitation. She believed that Fusheng would not harm her.

"Buzz—" A buzzing sound rang out, and the walls around the entire observatory lit up, the beautiful patterns on them seeming to come alive under the halo of light.

The halos surged into the air, transforming into beams of light that shot out in hundreds of rays. These beams converged at a single point in the air, then coalesced into a massive pillar of light that shot skyward.

The sky darkened in the next moment, and all the golden light vanished in a short time. The surrounding walls remained magnificent, but the daylight had transformed into an endless starry sky, with the starlight seemingly within reach. Strange and pure energy descended from the sky, bathing the entire observatory.

"Huh? What is this?" Xu Xiaoyan felt warm all over, enveloped by endless starlight, as if she were back home.

"Xiaoyan, how are you?" Nan Fusheng's voice rang out from below. He couldn't see Xu Xiaoyan's condition from his side; he could only see a golden ball of light floating in mid-air.

"I'm fine. I'm great. This feeling is so wonderful!" Xu Xiaoyan's voice trembled slightly, but it was clearly a tremor of excitement. She felt that her martial soul seemed to have undergone some changes, and for the better.

This absorption of stellar energy lasted for over an hour before Xu Xiaoyan's body slowly landed on the ground. Many points of light appeared on her body. Nan Fusheng circulated his spiritual energy and roughly counted them; there were approximately 365 points of light.

Xu Xiaoyan sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating the Xuan Tian Gong, and the three hundred and sixty-five golden light spots on her body shone faintly.

Her Star Wheel Ice Staff stood upright beside her, completely turned golden, especially the Star Wheel at the top, which seemed to have become ethereal inside, as if the stars of the heavens were imprinted within it. Looking closely at it, one felt as if gazing up at the starry sky.

The stars in the sky gradually returned to normal, and the light from the observatory slowly faded. The starlight surrounding Xu Xiaoyan seemed to have been absorbed back into herself, disappearing quietly.

Her already beautiful face now had a radiant glow, as if it were shimmering with a precious light.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Xiaoyan slowly opened her eyes. When she realized that everyone's eyes were focused on her, her pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly.

"How are you feeling?" Nan Fusheng was the first to step forward. Seeing Xu Xiaoyan's hesitant expression, he couldn't help but smile. "It's alright, don't worry, Dean Ling Feng is trustworthy."

"Hmm." After receiving Nan Fusheng's reply, Xu Xiaoyan took a deep breath and said excitedly, "This time, absorbing star power helped my martial soul wash away the ice attribute. Now my martial soul has completely become a star staff."

Along with my previous three soul skills, everything has changed. From now on, I am also a powerful offensive and control-type soul master.

As they were talking, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but walk up and hug Nan Fusheng, then kissed him on the cheek.

Despite being teased by the crowd, Xu Xiaoyan remained a little shy and clung to Nan Fusheng without letting go.

She has always been the weakest member of the team. Only by controlling the Star Wheel Ice Staff at night and later by using the first soul ring, Star Wheel Chain, during the day could she finally play a role.

This has always made her feel somewhat inferior and insecure. Internally, her current classmates are all exceptionally talented. Externally, the students of Shrek Academy are also quite strong. In fact, among the freshmen in Class One, she is considered a rather ordinary member.

Not to mention, there's Fors, a rival whose looks and abilities are unparalleled. Even if it wasn't explicitly stated, she's always been under immense pressure.

But now she has finally stood up, and thanks to the gift Fusheng gave her, she has finally undergone a transformation.
