Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 80 Shrek Academy! Qualification Review!

"Let's wait a while, there's no rush!"

Jiang Yi shrugged, his tone tinged with helplessness.

Currently, his spiritual power remains at the Spirit Sea Realm, and the soul he can fuse with can only withstand one black level at most.

The inability of spiritual power to keep up with the progress of cultivation is precisely why, even with the existence of the Spirit Ascension Platform, few people in this era push their soul ring configuration to the limit in the early stages.

While the number of spirit rings appears to be the same for both three purple and four black rings and four black and three purple rings, the latter is undoubtedly stronger.

The ten-thousand-year-old souls that can be fused in the early stages are far inferior to those in the later stages in terms of both age and quality.

However, he wasn't in a hurry; the problem would be easily solved once he went to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Moreover, he would prefer a soul that lasts for ten thousand years to one that lasts for a hundred thousand years, and he would be willing to wait even longer for that.

"Ok!"

Xie Xie nodded thoughtfully, perhaps the Tang Clan had made arrangements for Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi glanced around the classroom and finally sat down next to Gu Yue.

"How about it?"

Jiang Yi gently nudged Gu Yue's arm with his elbow, pulling her back from her reverie.

He was referring to Gu Yue's invitation to join the team. The Soul Beast Organization was being very formal, even having a probationary period.

That's right!

He ultimately chose to join, as the Soul Beast Organization did not significantly conflict with his other missions.

There shouldn't have been any before at least the abyss was destroyed.

In the original novel, the most powerful force was not Tang San or the Abyss Saint King, but Gu Yue and his group.

At that time, Tang San's divine sense dissipated, and Tang Hao and his wife were asleep, which was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If Gu Yue hadn't gone mad, they would have actually succeeded in stealing the chicken.

"They've agreed! I'll take you to our base later to officially join the organization!"

Gu Yue lowered her voice and replied to Jiang Yi.

She glanced at Jiang Yi, a smug smile flashing in her eyes.

The so-called probationary period was just a time she used to persuade Di Tian and the others.

These few were, after all, her last few subordinates, and she didn't want to end up being abandoned by everyone.

"it is good."

Jiang Yi smiled slightly and nodded.

If necessary, this might be his secret weapon to backstab Tang San! However, the prerequisite is to first fool Gu Yue and the others.

Just as the two were talking in hushed tones, Wu Changkong walked in. He was still dressed in white, but his aura was even more profound.

"follow me!"

Wu Changkong glanced at the group, said nothing, and then turned and led them outside.

……

On the training field, Wu Changkong stood with his hands behind his back, staring intently at the five trainees in front of him, his voice clear and cold.

"Today is your last class at Donghai Academy! A month from now, I will take you to Shrek City to take the Shrek Academy entrance exam."

"Shrek Academy!"

Xie Xie couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his heart suddenly racing. That was the sacred place in the hearts of all Soul Masters.

"Um... Ms. Wu, isn't there an eligibility limit for applying to Shrek Academy? I don't think we have any spots available..."

Xu Xiaoyan rested her chin on her hand and asked in confusion.

Shrek Academy isn't a place where anyone can just apply; there are eligibility restrictions. Otherwise, the admissions office would be packed with applicants every year, and they wouldn't be able to handle the workload at all.

However, since Teacher Wu came from Shrek Academy, perhaps she has special connections?

"That's right!"

Wu Changkong nodded slightly, then spoke solemnly.

"I will conduct a talent assessment for you later! If you pass the assessment, I will arrange your spot."

"If you fail the assessment... you will never have another chance to enter Shrek Academy."

The group had reached the age limit; thirteen or fourteen was their last chance to apply to Shrek Academy's foreign language department, as they would be past the age limit the next time.

"Teacher, what are the assessment contents?" Jiang Yi blinked. Why didn't this scene appear in the original work?

"Defeat me!"

Wu Changkong uttered only three words, yet they instantly made the five people feel an immense pressure.

In three years, Wu Changkong also broke through to level 70 and became a Soul Saint. With his two-word battle armor, he could rival ordinary Title Douluos.

Jiang Yi, who had the highest cultivation level among them, was only a Soul King without a fifth soul ring, so the gap between them was indeed quite large.

However, Wu Changkong showed no mercy. He looked up at the sky, which was gradually darkening.

"You have half an hour to prepare!"

Wu Changkong said calmly that Xu Xiaoyan's true strength would only be revealed at night, and he naturally wouldn't overlook that.

"Yes!"

Jiang Yi and the other four responded in unison.

The five then began to discuss their battle plan.

……

Half an hour passed quickly.

"start!"

Wu Changkong's face was serious. With a flash of sword light, the Heavenly Ice Sword appeared in his hand, and he announced in a cold voice.

Before he could finish speaking, a golden light flashed above his head. Tang Wuling took the initiative, her three soul rings—purple, purple, and purple—shining brightly as she slammed her giant hammer down from the air.

Wu Changkong raised his sword, about to unleash his soul skill, but Tang Wuling's third soul ring flashed above him, and a glimmer of light flashed in her golden eyes, piercing straight to the heart.

boom!
Wu Changkong froze, a hint of unspeakable fear flashing in his eyes, and the light of the seven spirit rings around him dimmed instantly.

Third Soul Skill: Eyes of Fear!
Release a mental shockwave, planting a mark of fear on the enemy, disabling all of their spirit rings and spirit bone skills for one second.

Disabling spirit rings? Such a bizarre spirit skill!

Wu Changkong was startled. His last practical training with the others was a year ago, and he was unaware of Tang Wuling's soul skill.

However, his rich combat experience allowed him to react in time. He activated the Ghostly Shadow Steps under his feet and retreated rapidly.

"Certainly!"

Xu Xiaoyan pointed her star staff, and a point of dazzling starlight shot towards Wu Changkong's feet, but Wu Changkong was prepared and barely dodged it by sidestepping.

Before Wu Changkong could catch his breath, a cold glint silently pierced his back.

Xie Xie appeared behind him like a ghost, and in order to conceal his aura, he did not even use his soul skills.

The Shadow Dragon Dagger disappeared into the darkness, like the whisper of death. Wu Changkong felt a chill run down his spine and thrust his sword backward in an attempt to intercept it.

"Starlight Feedback!"

Xu Xiaoyan waved her star staff again, and a dazzling starlight descended from the sky.

The second soul skill, Starlight Feedback, can disrupt the enemy's attack direction in a wide area.

This time it was an area-of-effect attack, and Wu Changkong, who couldn't use his soul skills, naturally couldn't dodge it anymore.

As starlight fell, the trajectory of Wu Changkong's longsword inexplicably veered off course, grazing past the Shadow Dragon Dagger and missing its mark!
In a single exchange... he was forced to use his battle armor.

Wu Changkong sighed inwardly as his battle armor materialized, but at that moment, a silver light that tore through space suddenly burst forth in the night sky.

A halberd pierced through the air, traversing countless spaces, and appeared in front of Wu Changkong in an instant.

The sharp aura that seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart made Wu Changkong's eyelids twitch, as if he had smelled the scent of death.

"I surrender!"

Wu Changkong abruptly stopped his summoning of battle armor and shouted loudly.

"Om-"

The halberd suddenly stopped half an inch in front of Wu Changkong's throat, its body shimmering with purple light and exuding a chilling killing intent.

Wu Changkong stared at the halberd so close to him, and subconsciously swallowed. Sensing its sharp edge, he had no doubt that even if he summoned his battle armor, he would be mercilessly pierced through.

Ignore defense!

He couldn't stop that strike!

Gu Yue and Jiang Yi, who were in the distance, quietly let go of each other's hands and smiled at each other.

They won!
Their strategy was to catch him off guard and achieve a surprise victory! Before Wu Changkong summoned his battle armor, they still had a chance to subdue him.

　Is this a bit padded? But I can't skip the transitional scenes, so I'll try to speed up the pace later on.
