Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

Dong'er!!!

Damn it, Tang San's face was gloomy. Although his daughter's main soul was still intact in his hands, her physical body had gone to the lower realm and was now Wang Dong'er. If something happened to Wang Dong'er, his daughter would become a wandering ghost. Although a God King could create another physical body, how could it compare to an innate physical body?

He wanted to use his divine power to investigate, but his gaze involuntarily drifted towards the depths of the sea of ​​clouds.

The words he said when he left after the destruction came to mind.

I will always be watching you... forever.

Tang San: "Damn it!!!"

The fish ate all the bait and broke the fishing rod in the process, getting away. There was nothing we could do but contact Daming and Erming to help finish it off.

Tang San's eyes flashed with coldness: "Lu Cheng... I underestimated you."

……

The match became increasingly tense.

The Shrek team, however, became relaxed. Since Lu Cheng's battle, which sent the entire Thousand Spirits team back home ahead of schedule (all the main players were seriously injured and unable to participate in subsequent events), the other teams preferred to surrender rather than "take a gamble".

Even Zheng Tian Academy, with three Soul Kings and an undisputed powerhouse, did not hesitate to concede defeat when facing Shrek Academy.

They didn't even go through the process of sending the team captain to the stage to draw lots to choose the battle strategy; they simply admitted defeat.

This suited Lu Cheng's wishes perfectly, allowing him to hide in the hotel and learn necromancy from Electrolux.

Surprisingly, it wasn't Xuanzi who arrived in Xingluo City to provide support, but Yan Shaozhe. This dean of the Martial Soul Department brought astonishing news... Xuanzi was imprisoned in the Sea God Pavilion and was not allowed to leave for three years. This punishment was extremely severe for Xuanzi, but Lu Cheng seemed indifferent.

Even though Yan Shaozhe disliked Lu Cheng, he had to put on a magnanimous act because of the current special circumstances. The main team disciples would need a few more days to fully recover and return to the field.

Lu Cheng stayed in his room every day, avoiding seeing him and not bothering him.

However, Wang Yan suffered a lot. Yan Shaozhe knew that his relationship with Lu Cheng was bad, so he started to put pressure on Wang Yan, saying that they had come this far, and one more step would mean the championship. He would then become the inner dean elder of Shrek Academy, a great achievement. But if they lost, they would lose the championship...

That's not just about losing the reward; you're the eternal sinner of Shrek Academy. Future generations of Shrek students will despise you, knowing that Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year reign as number one ended because of you.

Wang Yan couldn't sleep at night, staying up all night every day to observe the enemy team's situation, afraid of missing any details. Lu Cheng just sneered when he saw this, saying that Shrek PUA was indeed a master.

Traditional and unique skills.

Within the half-undead plane.

The sky was overcast, and the whole world consisted of endless, barren hills, utterly silent, save for the occasional low, hoarse roar of a dragon from the depths and the sounds of the surrounding skeletons.

This world is dead, lifeless.

"This undead plane is a work in progress for me. Since you are interested in the undead, I will pass it on to you." Seeing that Lu Cheng not only showed no disgust but also looked at the strange undead skeletons around him with great curiosity, Electrox's eyes flashed with a gentle light, and he nodded slightly.

After saying that, he gently tapped Lu Cheng's forehead.

A faint gray mist emerged from his fingertips, instantly seeping into Lu Cheng's forehead. His skin gradually darkened, while golden patterns emanated from his body, making him look quite eerie.

But soon, Lu Cheng opened his eyes.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He casually raised his hand.

A group of short, crooked undead skeletons walked around, all about 1.4 meters tall. Some were headless, while others were carrying their companions by the arms, using broken bones as weapons. They looked quite comical and amusing.

"These are all products of my experiments, though these little guys are defective..." Electrolux smiled and bent down, gently stroking the heads of these undead skeletons. Sensing the familiar aura of death emanating from Electrolux, the skeletons immediately came closer, hopping and skipping around.

"So, this plane was actually once a vibrant world?" Lu Cheng had completely gained control of this world, looking down on all living beings like a god. He slowly detached himself from that vision and asked with a complicated expression.

“Not bad, I didn’t expect you to see through me…” Electrolux nodded slightly, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

Lu Cheng's eyes were calm.

As mentioned in the original work, Electrox was betrayed by his lover and then inherited the legacy of a necromancer. From then on, starting from a city-state on the Holy Demon Continent, he turned all the people in the city into undead, and then made a snowballing comeback.

Although the millions of undead troops suffered considerable losses, the remaining ones... are mostly in this demiplane.

After inheriting the plane, Lu Cheng also learned that the undead are not immortal; however, when they are resurrected, they need to consume a portion of the necromancer's energy.

These skeletons do not need energy to resurrect because this undead demiplane itself possesses the energy left behind by Elex when he was close to the gods, and even after many calamities, it is still as vast as the sea.

It is enough to support the resurrection of this nearly one million undead army three or four times.

"Corpse Explosion..."

Lu Cheng was deep in thought.

A moment later, as if he had thought of something, he pointed slightly at a small skeleton in front of him, which instantly solidified into a lifelike ice sculpture. The surrounding skeletons were full of curiosity and came over. One of them used half a bone in its hand to tap the ice sculpture, but only a hard, clanging sound came out.

Lu Cheng smiled.

His palm slowly clenched.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar suddenly resounded for miles around, and a shockwave spread outwards from the ice sculpture, instantly blasting the surrounding skeletons to pieces and attracting many other, more powerful skeletons.

A ghost knight riding a warhorse, his eyes hollow with only a flickering blue flame, and a bone dragon flying in the sky, its body nothing but skeleton, devoid of any flesh or blood.

The most powerful of them all was a bone dragon, which was a full kilometer long, leaving Lu Cheng speechless.

"Is this a real dragon?"

“Hehe…” Electrolux just chuckled and said nothing.

"However, the experimental results are also quite obvious."

Attracted by the sound of the explosion, many undead creatures rushed over, but upon seeing Lu Cheng and Electrolux, they slowly dispersed like zombies, wandering in this vast, lifeless world.

Lu Cheng stared intently at the departing spirits, a hint of joy flashing across his face.

"Ice Blast can be used on undead."

The Ice Explosion Technique in the original work is more powerful than Corpse Explosion because it can also completely unleash the energy accumulated inside the corpse after freezing it. For example, Huo Gua used Ice Explosion to kill a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast and severely injured a several-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Therefore, Ice Blast has always been a top-tier divine skill.

If the ice explosion is applied to the undead, it can unleash the energy within the undead, which would be quite terrifying...

It will definitely be one of his life-saving skills in the future.

"Hehe, that's a good idea of ​​yours." Electrox stroked his beard, a look of approval flashing in his eyes.

This can be considered as maximizing the potential of this undead plane.

"Click~"

With a crisp sound, the small undead soldiers, whose bones had just been shattered into powder and scattered in pieces, slowly returned to their original bodies. Some scratched their heads, and ghostly fire flickered in their pupils, seemingly confused about what had just happened.

"However... it would be even better if it could be carried around."

Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

He wanted a suicide truck, not a stationary landmine.

If the undead could possess extreme ice attributes and move freely, no longer like corpses but agile, then coupled with a super weapon like the bone dragon that falls directly from the sky...

Lu Cheng was confident he could destroy an empire outright.

“I understand what you mean,” Electrox said with a smile and a nod.

"Go ahead and leave the rest to me. I happen to have nothing to do these days."

"..."

Lu Cheng smiled.

Indeed, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure, not to mention that this one is a super old-fashioned person.

Here, you can always trust Electrolux.

"Okay, teacher."

Without hesitation, Lu Cheng turned to study the "Third Martial Soul" he inherited from Electrolux, a gray-black soul ring that encompassed almost all necromancy magic.

It also includes some teleportation arrays, which are quite profound and complex, but if you can master them, it's like having a cheat code in the Douluo world.

……

"The Round of 16!"

With the group stage now completely over.

Shrek Academy also successfully entered the top 16 without any controversy. After all, Lu Cheng's previous intimidation was quite terrifying. He shattered the confidence of the other teams in the same group with one arrow, and they all avoided his sharp edge.

But as the tournament progresses to the final round of 16, no team will hold back any longer; they will all give it their all, and a loss is a loss, and a win is a win.

We'll have to be able to assess our resources.

Therefore, Shrek Academy's future path will be fraught with bloodshed and turmoil, no longer as peaceful as it once was, like children playing house.

"I'm ready to play!" Ma Xiaotao was unwilling to calm down; she had been holding back her anger for days while recovering from her injury.

"What is this Douling Academy? I can burn them all to the ground with a single fire."

"You are our trump card, you can't play."

But no matter how indignant Ma Xiaotao was, Wang Yan remained cold and only said this one sentence.

“Even if Luo Chen and Gongyang Mo go on stage, you can’t go on stage. As a Soul Saint, you are Shrek Academy’s ultimate weapon, meant to deal with truly difficult enemies, not for you to go on stage now to vent your frustrations.”

"Teacher!" Ma Xiaotao said angrily to Yan Shaozhe, who was standing to the side.

"Xiao Tao, be careful." Yan Shaozhe smiled and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, speaking softly.

"You haven't reached your peak yet, so it would be too hasty to send Xiao Cheng up now. Let's send Xiao Cheng up first."

"Damn it!" Ma Xiaotao gritted her teeth.

She was neither Wang Yan nor Yan Shaozhe. She was Lu Cheng's confidante and knew from the beginning that Lu Cheng wanted Run in the final, so if she didn't go on stage, she might not get to play.

"What's up?" Yan Shaozhe raised an eyebrow.

"No, it's nothing..."

Ma Xiaotao said aggrievedly, a hint of guilt and apology flashing in her eyes. "I'm really sorry, teacher. But who can blame me for making things difficult for you with Lu Cheng on the other side?"

"Don't worry, you'll definitely be playing in the finals," Yan Shaozhe reassured him.

"Oh, oh..." Ma Xiaotao felt increasingly guilty.

If I surrender on the spot during the final round, the teacher probably won't go crazy...
