Next was the battle between Han Ruoruo, Wu Ming, and Chu Qingtian against the five Shrek Monsters.
On the Shrek Five Monsters' side, there were four Spirit Emperors and one Spirit King. Meanwhile, what they had to face were a Spirit Douluo, a Spirit Sage, and a Spirit Emperor. On the surface, it looked like a difficult fight.
However, among these five, aside from Huo Yuhao, all of them had undergone the baptism of immortal herbs. Huo Yuhao also had his own fortuitous encounters. At this moment, they truly were not afraid of the powerful opponents before them.
Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong stood on the spectator platform, while Wang Yan stood together with them.
"Yunlin, judging by the looks of it, even without you, they've all made considerable progress. Bei Bei, Sanshi, and Nannan all seem to have higher Spirit Power than me now," Wang Yan said as he adjusted his glasses.
"That's only natural. They also consumed treasures. Wutong and I found them in a certain precious land. The one in your hands came from that place as well, Teacher Wang. Don't let such a treasure gather dust."
Su Yunlin smiled as he spoke.
Wang Yan nodded. "I'll work hard."
Su Yunlin looked toward the competition stage and was somewhat surprised. "Yo, Eldest Senior Brother has already completely evolved into the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul. With the Holy Dragon of Light's enhancement, I wonder how much of Teacher's two great secret arts he can display?"
Tang Wutong also thought of it. "Oh~ you mean Teacher's Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Slash and Dragon Emperor Domain Suppression, right?"
Su Yunlin nodded. "Mm-hm. Right, Teacher seems to have passed those secret arts to you as well. Have you mastered them?"
Tang Wutong smiled faintly. "Hehe, that's a secret! You'll see during the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament~"
Su Yunlin mainly cultivated Elder Mu's Sovereign's Descent. His idea was to fuse Sovereign's Descent with any Spirit Ability he used. That way, the power of his Spirit Abilities would become even stronger.
As for Tang Wutong, she cultivated Elder Mu's other secret arts. Elder Mu's Martial Soul was the Holy Dragon of Light, while Tang Wutong's was the Radiant Butterfly Goddess. Both were light-attribute Martial Souls, so Tang Wutong could learn even more from him.
What Tang Wutong focused on learning was the Evil-Breaking Slash.
At this moment, on the Spirit Dueling Arena, the five Shrek Monsters could be said to be displaying all sorts of abilities. However, Han Ruoruo was no pushover. She unleashed her seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul True Body, followed immediately by her eighth Spirit Ability, Golden Ascension.
She successfully subdued the five Shrek Monsters.
Su Yunlin smacked his lips. "Sister Ruoruo's eighth Spirit Ability really is troublesome. I can only tear through her restraints with the most tyrannical strength. If her ninth Spirit Ring can be a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring, her Dazzling Golden Rope probably won't be so easy to break free from."
Tang Wutong smiled faintly. "Sister Ruoruo is the inner courtyard's number one control-type, after all. For assault-type Spirit Masters like us, fighting a control-type Spirit Master already puts us at a disadvantage."
After that, Wang Yan analyzed the gains and losses of this sparring match for them, helping them summarize their strengths and shortcomings.
...
Regarding the inner courtyard students' Spirit Ring hunting operation, there were a total of six inner courtyard students who needed to obtain Spirit Rings this time: Tang Ya, Tang Wutong, Di Ruiqiu, Huo Yuhao, Mo Xuan, and Li Yongyue.
The people accompanying them this time were Elder Su, Su Tianxuan; Cai Mei'er; Su Yunlin; Zhang Lexuan; Han Ruoruo; Ma Xiaotao; and Bei Bei.
Originally, it would have been enough for Cai Mei'er to accompany them. However, since Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong were also going out, Elder Mu immediately sent Su Tianxuan along as well. In any case, whenever Su Yunlin left the academy, there had to be a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo accompanying him.
In all matters, Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong's safety came first.
...
The next morning.
The team for the trip to the Star Dou Great Forest had already gathered.
"Yo, Grandpa, long time no see. I heard from Dad that you've been in seclusion all this time. Have you gained any insight into breaking through to Limit Douluo?" Su Yunlin immediately greeted his grandfather when he saw him. It had been some time since he last saw him.
"Hello, Grandpa Su~" Tang Wutong bowed very politely.
"Haha, hello, Wutong~" Su Tianxuan was extremely fond of Tang Wutong, his future granddaughter-in-law, so he greeted Tang Wutong first before looking at Su Yunlin.
"Unfortunately, even with Elder Mu's guidance, I still haven't gained much insight into breaking through to Limit Douluo. Elder Mu said that this kind of insight sometimes has to be obtained in the instant between life and death.
"Otherwise, one can only rely on external objects. But with my current strength, I truly don't know what external object could still raise my Spirit Power. Even if you gave me a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone, it wouldn't help. Taking this step into Limit Douluo truly requires comprehension."
Su Tianxuan sounded somewhat regretful. With the accumulation of time, he was already far from weak among rank ninety-eight experts. Unfortunately, once the Dark Emperor Moth Martial Soul reached this level, it lacked a little in attack power, making it rather strenuous against opponents of the same rank.
Fortunately, Su Tianxuan possessed a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring. The offensive power attached to this Spirit Ring was quite impressive, so Su Tianxuan was not too worried about his attack power.
Cai Mei'er walked over and said with a faint smile, "Everyone here is an inner courtyard student, so naturally, this isn't your first time entering the Star Dou Great Forest. However, there are new members joining our operation this time.
"So let's still introduce ourselves to one another. Briefly state your name, Martial Soul, and cultivation. That will also make cooperation easier once we're inside the Star Dou Great Forest."
Zhang Lexuan understood and took the lead. "My name is Zhang Lexuan, inner courtyard teaching assistant and student. My Martial Soul is the Moon, assault-type. This time, I'll be responsible for leading and commanding the team. I have no need for a Spirit Ring. My Spirit Power is rank eighty-seven."
"Han Ruoruo, inner courtyard student and teaching assistant. Martial Soul: Dazzling Golden Rope, control-type. I'll be the main controller for this operation. I have no need for a Spirit Ring. My Spirit Power is rank eighty-two."
"Ma Xiaotao, inner courtyard student and teaching assistant. Martial Soul: Fire Phoenix, assault-type. I'll be the main attacker for this operation. I have no need for a Spirit Ring. My Spirit Power is rank eighty-four."
"Su Yunlin, member of Sea God's Pavilion and inner courtyard student. Martial Souls: Darknight Monarch Moth and Heavenly Evil Sacred Demon Scythe, assault-type. I'll be a main attacker for this operation. I have no need for a Spirit Ring. Rank eighty-six."
Everyone traveling with them was incomparably shocked. Huo Yuhao was also stunned. The inner courtyard's four great Spirit Douluo students had all gathered, and Su Yunlin was actually ranked second among them in cultivation. He was truly formidable.
Di Ruiqiu was also somewhat surprised. Did such a monstrous existence truly exist?
Cai Mei'er nodded. "During this operation, Elder Su and I are only accompanying you. Lexuan and Ruoruo will be in command, while Xiaotao and Yunlin will be responsible for the main offense. You must obey their commands and absolutely cannot act on your own.
"This time, we will be heading to the boundary between the mixed region and core region of the Star Dou Great Forest. We may encounter powerful Spirit Beasts at any time. Only by following commands can the team's safety be guaranteed. Alright, that is all I have to say. Wutong, you continue the introductions."
Tang Wutong nodded. "Mm. My name is Tang Wutong, inner courtyard student and teaching assistant. Martial Souls: Radiant Butterfly Goddess and Clear Sky Hammer, assault-type. My Spirit Power is rank eighty. I need an eighth Spirit Ring suitable for the Radiant Butterfly Goddess."
The group of students was somewhat surprised. This beautiful girl's Spirit Power was actually this high as well! She had reached rank eighty at such a young age? Had she not broken the academy's record?
"Tang Ya, inner courtyard student. Martial Soul: Ink Jade Blue Silver Emperor, control-type. Spirit Power rank seventy. I need a suitable seventh Spirit Ring."
"Bei Bei, inner courtyard student. Martial Soul: Holy Dragon of Light, assault-type. Spirit Power rank sixty-six. I don't need a Spirit Ring. I'm accompanying Tang Ya for this operation."
"Huo Yuhao, inner courtyard student. My twin Martial Souls are Spirit Eyes and Ice Jade Scorpion, corresponding respectively to control-type and assault-type. My Spirit Power is rank fifty-two. I need a fifth Spirit Ring with a spiritual attribute."
"Li Yongyue, inner courtyard student, agility-attack-type battle Spirit King, rank sixty. I need my sixth Spirit Ring. My Martial Soul is the Moon Blade. Eldest Senior Sister, do you still remember me? When you unleash your Martial Soul, I naturally receive an enhancement."
This male student was somewhat excited, while Bei Bei silently stood in front of Zhang Lexuan.
"My name is Mo Xuan, long-range all-direction auxiliary-type battle Spirit King, rank sixty. I need my sixth Spirit Ring. My Martial Soul is Halo. My close-combat ability is rather poor, so I'll have to trouble everyone this time."
This male student was somewhat shy and looked like he would be easy to bully.
"Di Ruiqiu. Martial Soul: Golden Dragon. Rank sixty. I need my sixth Spirit Ring."
Su Yunlin raised his eyebrows. This little auspicious beast really was arrogant.
