The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Seeing that Xu Zihuang hadn't entered a frozen state, Xu Sanshi was slightly taken aback. It was a bit hard to understand.

But none of that matters, because all he needs to do is create the opportunity for Beibei to make that attack.

A wave of golden light burst forth from behind Xu Sanshi, revealing Bei Bei's figure. She took a step forward with her left foot and shouted, "Overlord, Thunder Domain!"

Beibei's aura instantly surged to its peak. The golden light was composed of streaks of lightning, spreading gold wherever it passed, covering an area with a diameter of twenty meters. It was like a golden ball of lightning, filling the space around Beibei's body.

Xu Zihuang remained calm throughout, the golden patterns around his pupils contracting continuously, and his shining fourth spirit ring emanating a chilling aura.

Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi's hearts skipped a beat, and under their horrified gazes, Xu Zihuang also murmured something softly.

"Overlord, Thunder Domain".

The sky was filled with raging black and purple lightning, which also condensed into a sphere around Xu Zihuang.

If Bei Bei was as dazzling as a golden sun at this moment, then Xu Zihuang was like a dark purple demonic sun, full of domineering and devouring evil.

At the edge of the field, Elder Xuan suddenly stood up, unaware that the chicken leg in his hand had fallen to the ground, and excitedly said in his heart, word by word.

"Ultimate Thunder!"

As they spoke, the demonic sun devoured the golden sun, and then the blackish-purple demonic sun, which was originally about twenty meters in diameter, suddenly expanded and completely engulfed the entire area.

Once he realized what was happening, Elder Xuan waved his hand and rescued Ning Tian, ​​Jiang Nannan, and the others who were already stunned at the edge of the arena. At the same time, he himself entered the Soul Arena, which was filled with black and purple lightning.

Amidst the deafening roar, an oppressive black-purple lightning storm formed, resembling a natural disaster. It raged for a full quarter of an hour before gradually dissipating.

In the center of the arena, Xu Zihuang stood proudly, with residual lightning flickering around his body, like a thunder god descending to earth.

Chapter 152 Sea God Pavilion Meeting

In front of Xu Zihuang, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were protected by Xuan Lao's powerful soul force, but their faces were pale and their eyes were filled with horror.

Xu Sanshi, in particular, is in a slightly different situation from Bei Bei. His Xuanwu bloodline has always been in a semi-awakened state, and forcibly activating it would put a huge burden on his body.

The dark green color on his body quickly faded, his face turned as pale as paper, and he swayed precariously.

This wasn't just a side effect of forcibly activating the power of the Xuanwu; more importantly, it was because he had suffered considerable injuries after directly resisting Xu Zihuang's powerful attack, which combined his second soul skill, Mirror Annihilation, and his third soul skill, Time Distortion.

In contrast, Beibei seemed to be in much better condition. At most, he had just exhausted his soul power due to a full-force attack.

The battle, from beginning to end, didn't last long, with only a few clashes between the three. But the power of each collision was enough to shock everyone present, including the core disciples of the outer academy and the teachers.

It's no exaggeration to say that even a sparring match between inner court disciples might not have such a massive and imposing force as what we just witnessed.

Although Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi still had soul skills they hadn't used, it didn't mean they hadn't given it their all. Rather, the threat posed by Xu Zihuang was simply too great, especially the abnormally powerful restrictive force of Xu Zihuang's second and third soul skills.

In that situation, using the previous 100-year soul ring skill would be of little use.

Therefore, they chose to activate their respective third soul skills, which would amplify their overall strength, right from the start.

Xu Sanshi barely managed to block the falling cone-shaped crystal thanks to his second soul skill, Xuanwu Shield Formation, amplified by the power of his third soul skill, Xuanwu. This was also his strongest defensive measure at the moment.

Even so, he almost couldn't hold on, and in the end, it was only by using Thunder Dragon Head in Thunder Fury state that he was able to completely shatter the dark red cone-shaped crystal with its incredible weight and impact force.

It was at this moment that they truly experienced Xu Zihuang's power. With their rich combat experience, they understood that only by finding an opportunity to unleash their strongest abilities could they hope to win.

Then came Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement, which, combined with Bei Bei's activation of the Holy Light Dragon bloodline within her, allowed her to unleash the Overlord Thunder Domain.

Xu Sanshi originally had two other methods that he hadn't yet shown, but one of them was a ruthless killing method, and the other required a period of time to accumulate strength.

Clearly, neither of these two methods is suitable for use against Yu Tianhuang.

Ultimately, it was because Yu Tianhuang's restrictive soul skills were too powerful, making it difficult for them to truly unleash their full potential.

This is the essence of control-type Soul Masters: restricting enemies, guiding the development of the situation, and maintaining absolute dominance.

But what Beibei cared about more than these was the final method Yu Tianhuang used.

The golden dragon scales on Beibei's body quickly turned blue-purple, and then she directly deactivated her Martial Soul Possession state. She looked at Xu Zihuang with a bitter look mixed with a hint of relief.

"We lost, we lost completely. The ultimate lightning, is that it?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi suddenly realized what was happening and blurted out in surprise.

"Tianhuang, you possess twin martial souls?!"

Xu Zihuang showed no sign of pride in defeating Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi. Instead, he helped the unsteady Xu Sanshi to his feet and nodded to the two of them.

"Senior Brother Bei, Senior Brother Xu, actually I was just using a trick just now."

A domain skill like the Overlord Thunder Domain, originating from Bei Bei's bloodline, would have been impossible for the Silver Elite Beast that became Xu Zihuang's fourth soul ring to imprint, because it lacked the bloodline of the Holy Light Dragon. Xu Zihuang, however, was different. His second martial soul, the Purple Emperor Thunder Prison Dragon, and Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Bright Tyrannosaurus Rex had some connection. He only imprinted Bei Bei's method of activating bloodline power, but when combined with his own Purple Emperor Thunder Prison Dragon martial soul, he unleashed the Overlord Thunder Domain, a pure and ultimate thunder attribute skill unique to him.

Domain-type soul skills can be subdivided into four types. The first type originates from soul rings, but this type of domain-type soul skill generally only appears on a soul master's ninth soul ring. The second type originates from soul bones, similar to the first type, but because domain-type soul bone skills are generally the most powerful innate skills of solidified soul beasts, they are more powerful.

The third type is like Bei Bei's, a domain-type soul skill originating from her bloodline. This is also extremely rare. Soul masters who possess this type of domain-type soul skill usually have top-tier martial souls. Moreover, this kind of domain-type soul skill originating from the bloodline can evolve as the soul master's cultivation level increases.

Xu Zihuang's second martial soul, the Purple Thunder Prison Dragon, is definitely of a higher quality than Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and naturally possesses a domain-type soul skill originating from his bloodline. However, whether his martial soul is mutated or unique is something he needs to explore and discover for himself.

After all, unlike Bei Bei, he didn't have Mu En, who shared the same origin as his martial soul, to guide him step by step.

However, after using the ultimate lightning attribute Overlord Thunder Domain once through the imprinting of his fourth soul skill, he gained some insights. Perhaps in the near future, he will be able to truly control the bloodline power of his second martial soul, the Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon, and thus comprehend his own unique domain.

The last scenario is even rarer than the third. That is the domain obtained through the inheritance test of a deity. For example, the God of Slaughter Domain that Tang San obtained after leaving the City of Slaughter ten thousand years ago. This kind of domain can also evolve through special methods.

Beibei's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex ultimately did not truly evolve into a Holy Light Dragon. The main body of the Tyrannosaurus Thunder Domain he used was still constructed of lightning, but it contained a strong aura of light attribute.

It's only natural that he was completely restrained by his ultimate lightning.

"We lost, and that's that. We didn't lose unjustly," Beibei said with a wry smile, waving her hand dismissively.

"I was wondering why I always felt there was a familiar aura about you. Now I know."

In their conversation, Bei Bei's attitude towards Xu Zihuang became much closer. After all, they were from the same lineage and shared the same blood.

Standing to the side, Elder Xuan silently watched the three of them, a rare hint of satisfaction showing in his eyes.

"Don't be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat"—this saying is simple to say, but how many people can truly be so composed when it comes to their own lives?

He saw the future of Shrek Academy in Yu Tianhuang, Bei Bei, and Xu Sanshi. Barring unforeseen circumstances, in a few years, the three would undoubtedly become the next generation of leaders at Shrek Academy.

With a wave of his left hand, Elder Xuan dispelled the soul power barrier that was blocking the three people's voices, and then solemnly instructed Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.

"You two little brats, remember not to reveal that Yu Tianhuang possesses the second martial soul of the Ultimate Thunder."

"Yes, Elder Xuan." Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi replied solemnly.

They weren't ignorant commoner soul masters; they naturally knew what the Ultimate Lightning meant. A fully-developed Ultimate Lightning soul master was absolutely devastating to those troublesome evil soul masters. Moreover, Yu Tianhuang possessed twin martial souls, the other being his Body Martial Soul. If this news leaked out, not only would those evil soul masters be targeted, but likely even the Body Sect and major powers across the continent would be eyeing Yu Tianhuang.

The evil soul master naturally wanted to kill Yu Tianhuang in advance, and the Body Sect and the major top forces on the continent would inevitably try to win him over.

The more Elder Xuan looked at Xu Zihuang, the more satisfied and delighted he became. After pondering for a long time, he gave instructions to Wang Yan, who was standing on the sidelines with a dazed look in his eyes.

"Xiao Wang, take them all back. Today's core disciple selection competition is over."

Wang Yan snapped out of his daze. Although he had doubts about the results of the core disciple selection competition, he couldn't very well ask Elder Xuan directly. He could only respectfully respond and instruct the class teachers to organize their core disciples to leave the Soul Arena in an orderly manner.

Xu Zihuang and Bei Bei also bowed to Elder Xuan before helping Xu Sanshi out of the entrance to the Soul Battle Zone, one on each side.

When they encountered Wang Yan and his core disciples along the way, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

People reacted differently, but most showed awe.

To Xu Zihuang's surprise, even Dai Huabin nodded to him.

Ning Tian's aquamarine eyes shimmered with tears as she gently bit her red lips. She was now almost certain of her guess, and she was extremely grateful for her choice. Now, her only concern was how to ensure Yu Tianhuang would choose her in the future.

Ever since she saw Ma Xiaotao during the upgrade assessment, she had felt a sense of crisis. A young genius like Yu Tianhuang would never lack admirers. Although she was excellent enough, it was not impossible for a female soul master to be even more outstanding than her.

Among the crowd, only Wang Dong and Wu Feng seemed out of place. Wang Dong's expression was unpredictable, while Wu Feng's expression was already numb, and he lagged behind all alone.

Wang Yan gave Xu Zihuang a deep look, then waved his hand and announced the end of the meeting.

He did have a deep understanding of martial spirit theory, but he just couldn't figure out how Yu Tianhuang had just suppressed Bei Bei.

However, even if he were a teacher, he wouldn't ask such a question so rashly about the secrets of a Soul Master's Soul Skills.

He sighed with a conflicted expression, took a step, and his figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Tuoba Yu, Zhou Sichen, and Cao Jinxuan hadn't forgotten Xu Sanshi's 'kind' look, and they slipped away early after Wang Yan announced the disbandment. The rest of the group also dispersed one after another.

Xu Sanshi watched the backs of Cao Jinxuan and the other two, and asked Xu Zihuang with an annoyance, "Tianhuang, are you very familiar with these three guys?"

"Senior Brother Xu, if you want to teach those three a lesson, feel free to do so," Xu Zihuang said with a slight smile.

Xu Sanshi nodded fiercely and said, "That's enough."

"Alright, stop whining here. Hurry up and get you to the infirmary. I need to go find Xiaoya later." Beibei, standing to the side, was speechless as she looked at Xu Sanshi, who was seriously injured but still had the mind to care about other things.

Upon hearing Bei Bei's words, Xu Sanshi instantly bristled. His slightly pale face turned much rosier, though it was unclear whether he was angry.

"You little devil, Beibei! You've got no heart for the opposite sex, haven't you?! If you hadn't used Nannan to provoke me, would I be in this mess? You cunning bastard, I'm going to fight you to the death!"

As he spoke, Xu Sanshi tightened his grip on Bei Bei's neck.

As luck would have it, Jiang Nannan happened to pass by the three of them. Xu Sanshi stopped abruptly, and as if his expression had changed, he grinned foolishly at Jiang Nannan.

"Nannan".

However, Jiang Nannan merely turned her head and glanced at him coldly, her face filled with disgust. In order to get further away from Xu Sanshi, she immediately released her martial spirit, and with a leap of her long and powerful legs, she appeared dozens of meters away.

"I think it's harder than a sow climbing a tree for you to win over Jiang Nannan," Bei Bei said with a smile and a sigh.

Xu Sanshi angrily said, "Are we brothers or not? All you do is gloat and kick someone when they're down. Xiaoya's not around, so your true nature has been revealed. You should learn from Tianhuang. I don't know what Xiaoya saw in you."

"Now you're calling me brother? Didn't you just say I was a sly bastard?" Beibei asked in surprise.

"..."

And so, amidst the bickering between Beibei and Xu Sanshi, the three of them quickly arrived at the infirmary.

Ning Tian silently followed behind the three of them, stopping at the entrance of the infirmary. He waited until Yu Tianhuang came out of the infirmary before they left together.

Meanwhile, in the conference hall on the first floor of the Poseidon Pavilion.

Whenever there is a major event at Shrek Academy, a meeting is held at the Sea God Pavilion.

Only the deans and vice-deans of the Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department, along with a host of elders, are qualified to attend. This is also Shrek Academy's highest-level meeting. Important decisions are even made by a show of hands.

Ten people were sitting around an oval table in the center of the hall.

Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo sat at the far right of the long table, while Yan Shaozhe and another woman who looked to be around fifty years old sat at the far left. The woman had a cold expression and, despite being a woman herself, didn't even glance at Xian Lin'er. Judging from her facial features, she must have been extremely beautiful in her youth.

Besides the four of them, the six people sitting in front were all elderly men with white hair. Each of them sat in a different posture.

Elder Xuan and Elder Lin were prominently featured among them, seated close together, at the head of the table on the left and right respectively.
