The other Third Year Students also hurriedly put on their battle armor; regardless of whether it was a complete one-word battle armor or not, they put it on first.
"Screech—!"
The golden light and shadow surged again, and Arthur's figure pulled out several afterimages on the arena.
Instant Light was pushed to the extreme, even leaving brief golden trails in the air.
"Let's do it!"
Qian Wu gritted his teeth. Currently, only he was at his Peak state, and his heart grew ruthless.
Behind him, three purple and two black spirit rings flickered incessantly.
Among them, the fifth spirit ring bloomed at the end.
Unyielding Body!
The Behemoth appeared.
Qian Wu threw a punch with all his might!
"Eh?"
Looking at the phantom of the Behemoth before him, Arthur hesitated for a moment before putting away his holy sword and throwing a punch as well.
He was truly afraid that Qian Wu would die under the holy sword.
"Boom—!"
The moment their fists collided, scarlet-gold Soul Power and deep black Unyielding Body power exploded, and the airwave swept through the entire field like a tsunami.
The ground of the arena directly cracked into spiderweb-like giant fissures, with crushed stones flying everywhere.
The Behemoth phantom behind Qian Wu roared, its beast claws erupting with a mountain-collapsing force, attempting to crush Arthur.
"Truly impressive..."
Arthur praised his opponent with a thick face, neither blushing nor breathless.
The next moment, the Red Dragon phantom emerged.
Simultaneously, five spirit rings rose behind Arthur.
Three black... two gold!
Five spirit rings, their black and golden halos intertwining and flowing like a galaxy hanging from the sky.
Three rings were as pitch-black as ink.
Two rings were shimmering gold, glowing with a divine luster; as the spirit rings rotated, they formed a triple resonance with the pulse of the red dragon furnace core and the Holy Light of the holy sword.
Not far away, Gu Yue turned her head to look the instant the Red Dragon appeared.
Several thoughts flashed through her mind.
Is that... a Dragon?
No, wait, that's not a Dragon.
Eh, wait, that's right, that is a Dragon.
Wait, is it really right?
That shouldn't be a Dragon... Gu Yue's thoughts flew as her mind worked frantically.
Still no result.
Her Astonishing Wisdom had jammed.
On the platform, Ya Li's eyes also narrowed slightly.
She had seen the spirit ring configurations of countless Genius Soul Masters, yet she had never seen two such ridiculous golden spirit rings.
Million-year spirit rings?
No, they shouldn't be.
Ya Li and the group of Elders beside her could all sense it.
That shimmering gold luster definitely didn't have the age-based pressure of a million-year Spirit Beast, but it was at least a hundred thousand years.
"These spirit rings... are definitely not something an ordinary Spirit Beast could produce," Ya Li thought to herself. Then her gaze fell upon the Red Dragon phantom circling behind Arthur, her brows furrowing slightly. "Is it the Dragon Clan Bloodline? But these energy fluctuations are completely different from any known Dragon Clan..."
On the arena.
At this moment, the Soul Power within Arthur's body became incredibly turbulent!
Next up, under the Red Dragon's enhancement.
True Soul Power Release!
Scarlet-gold Soul Power surged from within Arthur like a volcanic eruption, forming an energy storm.
His fist was no longer limited to physical collision; instead, it transformed into a pure torrent of Soul Power, carrying the roar of the Red Dragon as it crashed down toward Qian Wu!
Qian Wu's Behemoth phantom was like paper before this force, and its roar came to an abrupt halt.
He could clearly feel that Soul Power within Arthur's body, which had boiled to the extreme.
"Class Rep! Keep it up!"
"You must hold on!"
Behind Qian Wu, the Third Year Students who were still putting on their battle armor cheered him on as they dressed.
"Class Rep! Just hold on a bit longer, it'll be ready soon!"
"Damn it!!!" Qian Wu's roar made the air hum.
Bearing the title of the Third Year class representative, he absolutely could not fall now!
The Soul Power within Qian Wu's body burned frantically, and the rotation speed of his three purple and two black spirit rings suddenly accelerated.
His battle armor also entered an overclocked state, regardless of the consequences.
The originally crumbling Behemoth phantom actually reconsolidated, its size surging several times over!
Seeing this, the students who were just cheering all changed their tune: "Don't, Class Rep!"
"Your battle armor will disappear!"
"It's not worth it, what about the Inner Court assessment!"
Hold on!
Unfortunately, before the Red Dragon, it was still suppressed with overwhelming force.
After shattering the Behemoth phantom again, the heavy pressure came down, kicking up clouds of dust.
However, the time he had bought was enough for all the Third Year Students to put on all the battle armor pieces they possessed.
The dust gradually cleared.
Everyone stared intently... Qian Wu had not fallen yet!
He was hunched over, panting heavily, and his battle armor was covered in fine cracks.
"Class Rep..." Someone began to get emotional: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laughed at you these past three years."
The emotional words were like a stone thrown into a lake, instantly stirring up layers of ripples.
The Third Year Students' eyes turned red one by one as they began to confess their regrets.
Then, they all aimed at Arthur together.
"Go!"
"Avenge the Class Rep!"
"Right! We can't let the Class Rep's sacrifice be in vain!"
Opposite them, Arthur's face darkened.
What the hell, why did it feel like he was the villain?
Who didn't know that he, Arthur, was dedicated to being a messenger of justice!
"Tsk, this isn't fun."
Facing the siege of dozens of people.
In fact, after Awakening the Red Dragon, Arthur's resistance to Soul Power attacks was extremely high.
However, with the battle armor's amplification, their Soul Power was almost all at the Spirit Emperor level.
Mo Yu, as a complete One-Word Battle Armor Master, even touched the level of a Spirit Saint.
And they themselves were all above the Spirit Ancestor level.
No matter how high his resistance was, he still couldn't ignore them completely.
Hundreds of Spirit Abilities submerged Arthur.
There were all types of attacks.
Arthur's figure flickered; while dodging various attacks, his fourth golden spirit ring bloomed with light.
Fourth Spirit Ability: Golden猊 Descent!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion leaped out from Arthur's body.
There were still a few feathers on its little claws.
They seemed to belong to Sharp Wind?
Forget it, that wasn't important.
The little Auspicious Beast happily waved its claws. Immediately after, the vertical eye on its forehead opened.
In an instant, a seven-colored halo swept across the entire field!
The moment the hundreds of incoming Spirit Abilities were touched by the halo.
Negative Spirit Abilities like curses and toxins melted away like snow under a blazing sun.
Direct attack Spirit Abilities like fire and lightning were easily shattered.
The Golden Lion descends.
During judgment, it can break all laws!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion sat on Arthur's shoulder, its little claws still stained with a few feathers of unknown origin.
Its eyes looked disdainfully at the students in front who were stunned by the scene just now.
"Holy crap!"
The Third Year Students cried out in unison.
"Holy crap!" This was from the first and Second Year students; they stopped their scuffle and looked over.
"Holy crap!"
Eh, this was from the group of Elders on the stands.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
They knew it all too well!
The final stage of the Shrek Academy entrance exam basically involved the choice regarding the Spirit Bone of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion after its death.
That was the legendary Auspicious Beast, and its Spirit Bone was a supreme treasure dreamed of by countless Soul Masters. To think it actually existed?
The Elders on the stands were even more shocked; Zhuo Shi slammed his hand on the armrest, and the chair instantly shattered: "The Three-Eyed Golden Lion! How could there be a Three-Eyed Golden Lion in this era?!"
In this day and age where Spirit Beasts were nearly extinct, where would the Luck come from to give birth to an Auspicious Beast?
No, that wasn't the point.
The important thing was that even if an Auspicious Beast was born, how did Arthur get his hands on it?
Ya Li's eyes narrowed, and she inconspicuously moved between the Elders and Arthur.
"What's the big fuss?" Arthur's tone was casual, not at all worried that exposing the Auspicious Beast would attract the old fogies to take action.
Now that Arthur had the Spirit Ability Mandate of Heaven, even if a Limit Douluo acted, it would be impossible to catch him.
This had nothing to do with strength.
The fifth Spirit Ability, Mandate of Heaven, operated on a superior mechanic.
