Chapter 290 Martial Soul Test.
"Alright, I'll keep it for you for now. Come back to me when you need it!" Although Elder Mu was stunned for a moment, he still accepted the rhombus-shaped crystal of the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant.
At this moment, the pure spiritual attribute Evil Eye Tyrant inside the rhombus-shaped crystal trembled with fear, not daring to utter a sound. With so many human powerhouses, he couldn't escape even with wings, let alone the old man in the wheelchair, whose aura was even stronger than his father's.
Falling into the hands of such humans, he suddenly felt hopeless.
Wu Xuan had carefully considered not attaching the fourth soul ring to the Soul-Breaking Spear. He didn't lack offensive soul skills now, nor did he need to rely on attaching soul rings to boost his soul power. Only when he reached the Title Douluo level could attaching soul rings maximize its benefits.
Seeing that her teacher, Elder Xuan, kept praising Wu Xuan while ignoring her, Xiao Xiao pouted, feeling a little resentful. She stepped forward and blocked Elder Xuan's path, asking, "Teacher, do you see any difference between me and before?"
"Ah~! What's different?" Elder Xuan looked at Xiao Xiao in surprise, unable to see anything for a moment.
Xiao Xiao frowned, her resentment growing stronger.
"You little rascal, you've broken through to level seventy?" Elder Jin asked intently, his gaze fixed on Wu Xuan ever since he entered the Sea God Pavilion.
"I was lucky, I suddenly broke through a few days ago! I'll have to trouble Elder Jin and you with my seventh ring." Wu Xuan smiled.
"No trouble at all! Which soul beast have you set your sights on for your seventh ring? We'll go and catch it for you." Elder Jin patted Wu Xuan's shoulder and laughed.
Wu Xuan's eyes lit up. "Elder Jin, I've got my eye on the king of the Mingdou Mountains, the Golden-Scaled Griffin!"
"What? You've got your eye on that guy?" Jin Lao's smile vanished upon hearing this. He couldn't possibly defeat that beast alone, which had a cultivation level of 290,000 years.
Mu Lao chuckled, "The Griffin Clan is a natural-born overlord of the skies, the darling of the wind element. I think it would be hard to find another top-tier ferocious beast on the entire continent with such a high affinity for the wind element besides the Griffin Clan. No wonder you've taken a liking to him."
"Little guy, that's a ferocious beast with a cultivation level of 290,000 years! You're choosing him for the seventh ring? Are you confident?" Lin Lao stepped forward and asked.
"Of course, if I weren't confident, I wouldn't have mentioned him now," Wu Xuan said confidently.
"Alright, then choose him. In two days, your Senior Brother Qian, Senior Sister Xian, along with Old Jin and Old Li, the four Super Douluo will accompany you," Mu Lao decided directly.
"Thank you, Teacher!" Wu Xuan said with great joy.
"Don't thank me yet. After you break through to Soul Saint, you're not allowed to go out for training anymore. You must master the Sea God Pavilion's most treasured secret technique, the Descent Technique, exclusively for Weapon Soul Masters, within one year!" Elder Mu waved his hand, interrupting Wu Xuan's playful banter.
"One year? Elder Mu, isn't that too rushed?" Elder Lin couldn't help but ask. You must know that Shrek Academy's two most treasured secret techniques are extremely difficult to master. Even with the talent of the Sea God Pavilion's elders, it took them nearly three or four years to master them.
Because mastering these two secret techniques doesn't require proficiency or effort, but rather talent and unyielding spirit. If you can't grasp that moment of inspiration, no amount of time will help.
"No problem, Teacher, just watch me!" Wu Xuan said confidently.
"Haha! Good, young genius, that's how it should be." Elder Mu nodded in satisfaction.
"What? A second martial soul? Ultimate Ice? The Ice and Snow Maiden?" Elder Xuan's increasingly loud voice immediately drew everyone's attention back.
"Yes!!" Xiao Xiao nodded slightly, and the already pervasive chill around her swept out again.
Elder Xuan was about to ask a question, but after receiving Elder Mu's telepathic message, his tone changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of the legendary Ice and Snow Maiden, Huo Yuhao's Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass is far inferior to this temperature."
"Little girl, do you want to go to the Inner Court's Soul Arena to test your strength!" Elder Jin, who was standing to the side, didn't press Xiao Xiao about the origin of her martial soul after receiving Elder Mu's telepathic message, and directly gave the suggestion that everyone wanted to hear.
"That's a good idea. The inner courtyard's fighting arena was incredibly lively today. It seems those exchange students from the Sun Moon Empire had another conflict with the inner courtyard students. Old Zhang just threw all the inner courtyard students who weren't on missions and those exchange students into the fighting arena, letting them decide based on their strength. Little girl, you can go up and fight a few matches so we can see the Ice and Snow Maiden's abilities and arrange some exclusive lessons for you later!" Elder Lin agreed.
"Xiao Xiao, what do you think?" Wu Xuan turned to look at Xiao Xiao.
"No problem!" Xiao Xiao clenched her little fists, full of fighting spirit.
"Elder Lin, Elder Jin, I've experienced the Ice and Snow Maiden's five soul skills before, and they're all quite powerful. Plus, this is Xiao Xiao's first time using these soul skills in actual combat. To ensure the safety of the other students, let me act as a referee and oversee the battle. Otherwise, the other students who are her opponents might get injured!" Wu Xuan said preemptively.
"Alright, then you can be the referee!" Elder Jin nodded.
Wu Xuan nodded slightly upon seeing this, then looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Xiao Xiao, elemental soul skills are completely different from the soul skills you used before. These are two different combat systems. Elemental soul skills rely more on mental strength and the soul master's operation. I have a few techniques here that you can learn from and integrate into your own combat style."
None of the elders interrupted Wu Xuan, listening quietly until Xiao Xiao closed her eyes to comprehend what Wu Xuan had said.
Inner Court Soul Arena!
Elder Mu and his group did not go to the spectator stands, but instead went through a side door to the rest room on the top floor.
Wu Xuan and Xiao Xiao walked in together through the main entrance of the Soul Arena. Now the students' tempers had basically subsided, and there were only a few students left who had not yet taken the stage.
"Wu Xuan!! You finally deigned to show up!" Seeing the figure that had entered the Soul Arena, Xiao Hongchen shouted directly, attracting the attention of everyone in the arena.
"Don't bother me!" Wu Xuan glanced at Xiao Hongchen, then ignored him.
"Elder Zhang! The competition rules have been changed. You should go and rest now; leave the rest to me!" Wu Xuan stepped forward and shook hands with Elder Zhang.
Elder Zhang was initially taken aback, but after hearing Elder Mu's telepathic message, he was startled for a moment, then nodded and exchanged identities with Wu Xuan, stepping down from the arena.
Seeing this, Wu Xuan slowly approached the arena, cleared his throat twice, and said, "The rules for the Soul Battle competition have been changed. I will be the referee. Three students from the academy will be selected next, in no particular order. Whoever defeats Xiao Xiao will receive a ten-thousand-year soul bone as a reward!"
