There was no room for maneuver. The dark eyes in the black aura locked coldly on Tengshe. Tengshe's huge, towering beast body collapsed before the naked eye could see, and the ominous star above its head flashed wildly!
Looking at the excited Golden Tree Spirit, Zhao Xuanzhen chuckled and said, "The earth of the center and the wood of the east, the combination of earth and wood is invincible."
The two Eight Demon Gods, leveraging the immense advantages of Shrek Academy—favorable timing, location, and human resources—reached the pinnacle of this world. During this process, the Eastern Wood element helped you avoid the oppression of Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor, while the Central Earth element represented unparalleled combat power…
"If you are willing to temporarily entrust the power of the Golden Tree to him, the Central Land will surely give you a pleasant surprise."
"I naturally trust the chosen one of this plane. Please leave the two Eight Deceitful Gods inside the Golden Tree!" The Golden Tree Spirit nodded emphatically. "As long as the threat from the Blue Silver Emperor diminishes, I can mobilize the geographical advantages of the Douluo Continent to supply them!"
In return for each other's kindness, Zhao Xuanzhen and the Golden Tree Spirit successfully reached a contract. The old man turned into a ball of golden light and disappeared, and the two Eight Deceitful Gods left with him.
"Blue Silver Emperor, it's time to settle accounts!"
As the last words of the Golden Tree Spirit drifted over, Zhao Xuanzhen couldn't help but chuckle. Looking at the Yin-Yang Qilin's corpse in the secret chamber, he murmured:
"A 100,000-year-old Yin-Yang Qilin, a rare treasure in this world, not to be missed."
……
One year later, in the underground world of the Golden Tree.
Black and white soul power linked his body like ribbons, and the dual light belonging to the Yin-Yang Qilin rose like flames. Against the backdrop of the two 100,000-year-old Qilin, Zhao Xuanzhen was surrounded by a mysterious Yin-Yang aura.
As the light gradually dimmed, Zhao Xuanzhen suddenly opened his eyes, and black and white waves of energy spread out in all directions. The light shining deep within his eyes was even more brilliant than the color of the golden tree.
Standing up and stretching his limbs, Zhao Xuanzhen found that his limbs were incredibly light, and his fair, jade-like skin had a crystal-clear luster, attracting the remaining black and white energy from the Yin-Yang Qilin corpse to swirl around it.
"Level 39..."
A year ago, Zhao Xuanzhen broke through to level 30, and now, at the age of eleven, he is already at level 39. The abundant life energy beneath the Golden Tree, mixed with the yin and yang aura emanating from the corpse of the Yin-Yang Qilin, makes this secret chamber the most suitable simulation training ground for yin-yang attribute soul masters on the Douluo Continent.
"You're awake; fate has taken a turn."
Golden light condensed into the image of an old man, a golden tree spirit. The walls of the room shimmered with light, and from this moment on, even the Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming could not explore this underground room.
"Have you regained control of the Golden Tree?" Zhao Xuanzhen asked.
The old man laughed heartily: "Lord Dongfang Zhimu helped me resist the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor, and Lord Zhongzhong Tu's combat prowess is so strong that I have never heard of it before!"
Hatred for Ah Yin surpassed everything. The Golden Tree Spirit hardened its heart and handed the Golden Tree over to the Central Soil. Then, the Central Soil demonstrated what the Tongtiandai (Heavenly Generation) was, brutally slashing at the Blue Silver Emperor, making Ah Yin howl in pain.
A year later, the situation reversed dramatically. The Blue Silver Emperor could only hold onto a small area, and it was only a matter of time before it was devoured by the Golden Tree Spirit. With the help of the two great Eight Tribes Gods, the Golden Tree Spirit won by default, much happier than the unfortunate spirits of the plane.
“Golden Tree Spirit, the Blue Silver Emperor is no longer a threat. Then please prioritize supplying the Central Soil for its birth, allowing the Eastern Wood to remain inside the Golden Tree for a while longer, just in case.”
"no problem."
The old man readily agreed, smiling as he looked at Zhao Xuanzhen: "Thank you, for the twists and turns of fate."
Your soul power is very close to the next realm, so let me repay your kindness and assistance.
A distant hum emanated from the roots of the golden tree, causing Poseidon Island to tremble. The ancient tree, its roots embedded in the earth's veins, seemed to come alive, its branches and leaves rustling and scattering golden light dust across the sky.
Countless fine golden threads emerged from the cracks in the tree bark, gently wrapping around Zhao Xuanzhen's limbs and bones, even the tips of his hair were tinged with flowing gold, and his soul power instantly broke through level forty.
"boom--"
A beam of light shot from the top of the tree, reaching the sky. Ripples of life swept across Poseidon Island, vines grew wildly, withered trees sprouted new buds, and clear springs gushed from the cracks in the rocks.
The Seagod Lake was filled with towering waves, but the crests of the waves mysteriously froze in mid-air, transforming into translucent, shimmering golden sculptures. The Shrek disciples were stunned, and the elders of the Seagod Pavilion were equally shocked. Since the construction of Seagod Island, there had never been such a magnificent sight.
The strange phenomenon suddenly contracted, and a brilliant golden soul ring descended from the sky. The ring was wrapped with the ancient patterns of the golden tree, and as it spun, it scattered golden light. The moment the soul ring landed, the island's ley lines resonated, as if subjects were bowing to a newborn king.
The old man said gently, "This spirit ring seals 30% of the Golden Tree's energy, which will be gradually released as you become stronger. It is equivalent to a spirit ring that can grow."
I originally intended to bestow upon you the title of Child of Nature, but you seem to already possess the ability to control nature, so imposing it would be inappropriate.
The spirits of the planes are dormant, and I need some time to completely deal with the Blue Silver Emperor. However, more than one evil plane is eyeing Douluo Continent, and the God Realm is also uncertain when it will return.
We will eventually have a battle with Tang San. Fate is unpredictable, so we must not be complacent.
“Hatred will end in blood.” Zhao Xuanzhen’s voice was resolute.
"Someone has come to the door, probably sensing the draining of the Golden Tree's power."
The old man shook his head, waved his hand to open the wooden door of the room, and most of the Super Douluo of Shrek Academy gathered here. The leader was the Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming. To the left of this Sea God Pavilion Master was the Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li, and to the right was an old woman who looked very old.
"Old Jin."
Faced with the ancient golden tree, Yun Ming had no choice but to show the respect due to a junior.
"I know why you've come here."
The old man exchanged glances with the Shrek Academy Super Douluos and calmly said, "This boy is destined to be with me. He is a junior I value, so I have given him some abilities. You should not make things difficult for him."
Yun Ming's lips twitched. Some abilities!?
That's 30% of the energy accumulated by the Golden Tree over countless years, enough to help Shrek Academy withstand a fatal crisis!
Zhao Xuanzhen came to the Golden Tree to comprehend the Dao, and Shrek Academy suffered a huge loss!
Having suffered a great loss, Yun Ming couldn't easily retaliate, since the Golden Ancient Tree possessed independent consciousness and had chosen Zhao Xuanzhen on its own initiative, leaving no room for argument.
"Come, I will protect you."
To complete the act, the Golden Tree Spirit put its arm around Zhao Xuanzhen's shoulder and accompanied him out of the Sea God Pavilion, demonstrating its unwavering will to protect him. The Shrek Academy warriors were left alone, exchanging bewildered glances, their old faces grim, yet none daring to utter a single word.
If the Golden Tree Spirit is truly angered, Shrek Academy won't even need outsiders to attack; the Golden Tree Spirit will wipe them out completely.
"Yun Ming!" the old woman suddenly called out, "I heard that you've recently been trying to recruit a young girl from the Spirit Pagoda to become your disciple?"
"Yes, Sister Yue, she has a space-attribute gun-type martial soul, which makes her very suitable to be my successor," Yun Ming said truthfully.
The old woman angrily said, "The Golden Tree has been the academy's most precious treasure since ancient times. Having absorbed 30% of the Golden Tree's power, that boy must stay at Shrek Academy."
Jin Yong values him highly and would certainly be happy to see him become a member of Shrek Academy!
"Sister Yue, Zhao Xuanzhen is Yao Zhu's only direct disciple!" Ya Li hurriedly explained.
"Tianfeng Lengyaozhu?" The old woman sneered, "Just a mere deputy tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower. I've slapped the old face of the tower master before!"
What Yue'er said makes sense. What can a fire-attribute martial soul like Tianfeng teach? My Light and Dark Dragon Emperor does have something in common with the Yin and Yang attributes!
Yun Ming, you can't leave him at Shrek Academy. I'm going to do it my own way. I'll snatch a disciple. What can Leng Yaozhu do about it?
Everyone, disperse!
After saying this, Light and Dark Douluo Long Yeyue turned and left, while the other Super Douluos dispersed.
Yun Ming and Ya Li exchanged a bitter smile. In terms of strength, Yun Ming had already surpassed Long Ye Yue, but Long Ye Yue was the widow of the previous Sea God Pavilion Master, Tian Juan Douluo, and was also the oldest among the Shrek Academy's seniors. They usually treated this eldest sister with great respect.
"Brother Ming, Sister Yue's temper...sigh!" Ya Li said with a worried expression. "And Yue'er, why did you bring up taking on apprentices with Sister Yue for no reason!"
Yun Ming looked bitter. Na'er didn't have a teacher, so Shrek Academy had a chance to hide. The probability of them kidnapping Zhao Xuanzhen was not just negligible, it was simply wishful thinking!
"I'll try to win over Na'er first, and then I'll try asking Zhao Xuanzhen."
These are turbulent times... I have a bad feeling that Yue'er and Sister Yue will one day bring the academy to utter ruin..."
Chapter 56 The Malice of the Crown Prince's Ancient Pavilion, Final Exam Make-up, Arena of Life and Death (4K)
The afternoon sunlight lazily leaned against the wooden house, dappling the ground with broken shadows from the trees. A girl in a plain white outfit stood alone, her silver spear swirling like a dragon in her hand.
The spear tip pierced the air, refracting tiny silver sparks under the intense light. The girl's figure rose and fell with the spear's movement, her clothes fluttering like a swirling breeze. Every move she made was accompanied by the clear roar of a dragon.
The spear suddenly withdrew, and the girl spun around, sweeping horizontally. In an instant, hundreds of silver dragon shadows appeared. Beads of sweat rolled down her snow-white chin, dampening the light green bamboo pattern on her collar.
A hundred meters away, a tall figure stood there for an unknown amount of time, his clothes fluttering in the wind, a smile playing on his lips, his eyebrows dappled with the glittering golden light filtering through the trees, highlighting his handsome and refined features.
The girl suddenly turned around, and that familiar silhouette came into view. Her fingers gripping the gun tightened unconsciously. The wind ruffled her long silver hair at her temples, brushing against her flawless, beautiful face. She seemed not to care, but just stared blankly.
"Zhao Xuanzhen!"
Na'er's expression changed from stunned to delighted, and she let out a high-pitched scream. She casually tossed aside the silver dragon spear and pounced on Zhao Xuanzhen with her delicate body.
Zhao Xuanzhen's dark, warm eyes were full of smiles. He opened his arms in advance. After a long separation, childhood sweethearts naturally had to give each other a warm hug.
However, when the two were only one meter apart, Na'er suddenly lowered her head, used her legs and waist to exert all her strength, and delivered a rocket headbutt straight to Zhao Xuanzhen's chest!
"Bam—"
A dull, loud thud echoed, and Zhao Xuanzhen was nearly knocked to the ground by Na'er before he could react.
"They launched a surprise attack right after we met."
Zhao Xuanzhen smiled, letting the little silver head keep drilling holes in her chest.
"If the Phoenix Pendant hadn't failed to activate, and if Sky Douluo hadn't repeatedly assured us, Aunt Leng and I would have thought you'd been buried alive by Shrek Academy!"
Na'er looked up, her eyes red-rimmed, looking every bit the wronged woman. She had intended to condemn Zhao Xuanzhen harshly, but after their eyes met, she couldn't look away.
That gentle, refined face, always bearing a faint smile, instantly filled her entire field of vision, and before the blame could be uttered, it involuntarily changed its expression.
"I can't even enjoy my meals when you're not around!"
A slight tremor was hidden in the girl's captivating voice. Eating was the most important thing in her day. Until Zhao Xuanzhen went into seclusion to cultivate, Na'er wandered alone in the vast Shrek Academy, like a lonely child.
Since Na'er entered the Spirit Pagoda, Zhao Xuanzhen and she have never been separated for more than a day. Having grown accustomed to each other's presence, sudden separation is extremely difficult for them. During this period, Na'er couldn't even eat ten bowls of rice in one meal, and she looked forward to Zhao Xuanzhen breaking through his cultivation barrier every day.
"Deep meditation, it took a bit too long."
Zhao Xuanzhen gently embraced the girl, as if he could hear her trembling heartbeat. A gentle breeze blew her silver hair past his nose, and a delicate fragrance lingered, making him feel incredibly intoxicated.
Na'er greedily inhaled the comforting scent that only she could smell, and after a long while, she reluctantly let go, her silver eyes sparkling as she said, "Let's go back to the Spirit Pagoda quickly. Aunt Leng misses you just as much as I do. Her temper has become much more irritable this year."
I remember once, the Tower Master came to discuss official business, but Aunt Leng kicked him out.
"Okay, let's go see the teacher and have a big meal together tonight."
"Great!"
Upon hearing this, Na'er was immediately filled with enthusiasm. As long as Zhao Xuanzhen was by her side, she would gladly eat three hundred bowls of rice a day!
They left the city as quickly as possible and headed straight for the Spirit Tower headquarters outside Shrek City. They did not send a soul guide communication to inform Leng Yaozhu in advance that the little rascals were preparing a surprise for the Heavenly Phoenix.
The two had just stepped into the first floor of the Spirit Pagoda when they encountered an unexpected person.
The young man was tall and handsome. He paused for two seconds when he saw Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er, then strode over with a hearty smile.
"Xuanzhen, Na'er, I've heard that you've enrolled in Shrek Academy, but I haven't had a chance to meet you recently and haven't had a chance to congratulate you!"
"It's been a long time since I last saw you, Brother Zhangting, you're still as charming as ever."
Zhao Xuanzhen exchanged pleasantries with the newcomer, while Na'er subtly curled her lip. The young man's name was Qian Gu Zhangting, the grandson of Qian Gu Dongfeng, the current master of the Spirit Transmission Tower.
At the age of six, Qian Gu Zhangting awakened the Panlong Staff, the martial spirit inherited by the Qian Gu clan. His innate talent of full soul power placed him at the pinnacle of the continent. Qian Gu Dongfeng was overjoyed and immediately declared that his grandson was the perfect successor to the position of the Spirit Pagoda Master.
Therefore, Qian Gu Zhang Ting has a nickname circulating in the Chuan Ling Pagoda circle: the Crown Prince.
As the direct disciple of Leng Yaozhu, the deputy tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, Zhao Xuanzhen has a transcendent status. Members of the Spirit Transmission Tower, including the various branch tower masters, must show him respect. Qian Gu Zhangting represents the future of the Qian Gu lineage and is the only young generation member in the Spirit Transmission Tower whose status is above Zhao Xuanzhen.
At the grand banquet held within the core circle of the Spirit Pagoda, the two young people representing the Phoenix Clan and the Eternal Clan inevitably met. Na'er had been with Zhao Xuanzhen since she was six years old, so she naturally knew Eternal Zhangting, but she simply disliked this Crown Prince of the Spirit Pagoda.
Zhao Xuanzhen was aware of the filth of the Qian Gu family and had no interest in developing a relationship with Qian Gu Zhangting. The two were at most nodding acquaintances on ordinary days, and unless they bumped into each other like today, they would not exchange a single word in private.
After a brief chat, Qian Gu Zhangting's gaze shifted to the silver-haired girl beside Zhao Xuanzhen, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, and he exclaimed:
"Sister Na'er... is becoming more and more beautiful. She will surely become a stunningly beautiful fairy in the future."
Upon hearing this, Na'er felt disgusted and got goosebumps. She angrily retorted, "Call me by my name? Who's your sister! If you want a sister, go to a brothel. There are plenty of women who call you brother!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Zhangting's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, the muscles in his cheeks twitched incessantly, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
Zhao Xuanzhen stepped forward, his body subtly blocking Na'er's view, and said with a faint smile, "The little girl is just being naive and innocent. Brother Zhangting, please don't take it to heart."
"Hehe, it's not Na'er's fault, it was my recklessness."
Qian Gu Zhangting said with a forced smile, silently reminding himself that he was the next master of the Spirit Transmission Tower. His grandfather, Qian Gu Dongfeng, had once said that although Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er were exceptionally talented, they were destined to be his subordinates in the future, and their relationship should not be too strained.
"Our teacher needs to discuss something with us, Brother Zhangting, we'll take our leave now."
Zhao Xuanzhen made up an excuse to leave.
"Please."
Qian Guzhangting watched the two ascend the high-rise elevator, recalling Na'er's merciless words, and finally no longer concealed his malice, saying bitterly:
"Not very old, but has a terrible temper!"
If it weren't for Grandpa's instructions to sow discord between you two, and the fact that you're somewhat attractive enough to barely match me, do you think this young master would…”
His furious words abruptly stopped. Qian Gu Zhangting couldn't deceive his true feelings; he had to admit that the silver-haired girl had officially entered a period of rapid development, becoming more and more beautiful every day, perfectly hitting his liking from head to toe.
In Qian Gu Zhangting's mind, Na'er was as beautiful as a fairy, and Zhao Xuanzhen was beginning to take human form. The Spirit Transmission Tower belonged to the Qian Gu clan, so Zhao Xuanzhen should obediently serve as the Qian Gu family's servant, offering himself up, while Na'er should obediently be the Qian Gu family's canary, taking whatever she wanted.
"Never mind. There's no need to rush."
