Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

"Teacher Wu, I want to exchange for resources," Chu Ci said to Wu Changkong.

Wu Changkong took out a soul-guided tablet from the drawer, operated it a few times, and handed it to Chu Ci.

"Just choose from the options above."

Chu Ci scrolled around on it and suddenly saw the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow in the Spiritual Objects section.

Chu Ci's eyes lit up, and he immediately spent three thousand contribution points to purchase a portion of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow.

Then, he spent another two thousand contribution points to purchase a certain amount of the spiritual item, Netherworld Cold Pool Water.

After exchanging the resources, a student soon brought over the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow and the Netherworld Cold Pool Water.

Chu Ci took the two spiritual items, hurriedly bid farewell to Wu Changkong, and rented a cultivation room.

The white eye on the hilt of the sword-shaped Heavenly Candle opened, and a deep blue light flickered on the sword, while an extremely yin power that made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar emanated from it.

Chu Ci held his sword and inserted it into the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, and Tianzhu began to absorb the extreme Yin power within the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow.

Chu Ci felt the comfort in Tian Zhu's heart, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Tianzhu has always been predominantly yang and deficient in yin, but once he has absorbed the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow and the Netherworld Cold Pool Water, his yin and yang will be balanced, and his strength will be greatly enhanced.

After dealing with the Heavenly Candle matter, Chu Ci continued to create and improve his cultivation techniques.

Today, when Chu Ci entered the classroom and saw Tang Wulin in his seat, he raised an eyebrow.

“I’ve broken through,” Chu Ci said to Tang Wulin, who was sitting down beside him.

"Hmm," Tang Wulin scratched his head, "Elder Feng gave me a rare treasure that allowed me to break through to level 30."

"That's good, it saves us a Soul Nourishing Pill." Chu Ci nodded.

"Class begins." Just then, Shen Yi's voice came from ahead.

Chu Ci quickly turned around and found Shen Yi looking at him. He immediately called out, "Stand up."

The whole class stood up together and said, "Hello, teacher."

Shen Yi gestured with his hands, "Sit down."

Her gaze shifted from Chu Ci to the students in the class, and she said, "Today is a practical lesson. We'll be working in groups, assigned according to the mecha groups. Your task isn't to defeat each other. Your opponents are me and Teacher Wu. Class leaders will lead their teams to the sparring arena."

After saying that, she walked out the door first, and Wu Changkong walked alongside her.

Chu Ci got up and led the whole class to the edge of the sparring arena.

Chu Ci frowned and said sternly to the noisy students behind him, "Stand in formation and be quiet."

Chu Ci's voice, imbued with soul power, clearly reached the ears of every student.

The students in Class 1 of Grade 1 all shut their mouths and fell silent when they saw the serious-looking Chu Ci.

Chu Ci's formidable strength, coupled with his mysterious and erudite demeanor over this period, has already established a basic level of prestige among the first-year students.

Shen Yi stood in the center of the arena and said, "Practical combat lessons naturally focus on actual combat. Today's theme is teamwork. You will fight in groups against me and Teacher Wu. You will be facing us at our full strength. In addition to our battle armor, we will use all our soul skills and all our cultivation levels. Defeating us will earn you full marks in this section. If you cannot defeat us, you will be scored based on your performance. You have the right to choose your opponent, either me or Teacher Wu. This is also part of the test."

"In addition, Chu Ci will have a solo battle against me or Teacher Wu."

"You have five minutes to discuss this. After five minutes, Chu Ci will go up first to conduct a practical exercise."

Upon hearing the arrangement, Chu Ci was eager to try it out. A battle with Wu Changkong would allow him to see the true extent of his strength.

Chapter 81 Battle against Wu Changkong, Domain Unfolds

"Chu Ci, be careful," Gu Yue whispered in Chu Ci's ear.

Chu Ci squeezed Gu Yue's small hand, "Don't worry, Teacher Wu won't kill me."

After speaking, Chu Ci closed her eyes, constantly adjusting her state with each breath.

Five minutes passed quickly. Chu Ci opened her eyes, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and gracefully leaped onto the arena.

Chu Ci smiled and looked at Wu Changkong, saying loudly, "Teacher Wu, let's have a good match, master and disciple."

Wu Changkong appeared fifty meters in front of Chu Ci, his white robes fluttering, and a chilling aura emanating from him.

Wu Changkong said coldly, "You can use a Soul Weapon."

"Buzz!" A beam of light rose, transforming into a massive white, transparent shield that enveloped the entire sparring arena.

"Begin." With Shen Yi's announcement, Chu Ci moved.

The Heavenly Candle appeared in Chu Ci's hand and formed an arm armor on Chu Ci's right arm.

Sword light flashed in Chu Ci's eyes, and sword intent soared to the sky on the Heavenly Candle. Only my sword intent merged with the Supreme Yang sword intent.

Wan Li Yan flew out, and Chu Ci's entire right arm, along with the Heavenly Candle, was covered with a layer of golden-red flames.

Chu Ci let out a soft shout, and Tianzhu slashed down, immediately launching the move "Heavenly Emperor's Tour".

The sword energy unleashed by Chu Ci caused everything in its path to give way, its domineering intent seemingly capable of severing all things in the world, and the golden-red flames spreading across it made the surrounding space appear somewhat distorted.

Wu Changkong's cold eyes were full of seriousness as he held the Heavenly Frost Sword and his third soul ring lit up.

The frost-like aura, almost tangible, continuously condensed on the Heavenly Frost Sword, covering Wu Changkong's body with a faint white layer.

Wu Changkong gathered his soul power, wielded the Heavenly Frost Sword, and unleashed a Heavenly Frost Slash that compressed his icy soul power to its limit.

"Boom!" The Heavenly Frost Slash, imbued with endless chill, collided with Chu Ci's all-out attack, the Heavenly Emperor's Tour.

A terrifying red and blue energy storm erupted in the next moment, with sword energy splashing everywhere and its power was awe-inspiring.

A deafening roar echoed across the sparring arena, the powerful sword energy causing the protective barrier surrounding the arena to sway slightly. The energy storm was so intense that everything on the stage became illusory, and for a moment, no one could clearly see what was happening.

Swords flashed across the arena, and in the blink of an eye, the two figures had already exchanged more than a dozen blows.

Wu Changkong blocked Chu Ci with a sword, his first soul ring lit up, and countless icy sword threads swept over him.

Chu Ci's eyes flashed as he rushed straight toward the sword threads that resembled a waterfall.

When Chu Ci arrived in front of the sword thread, he activated his third soul ring. The sword thread was precisely weighed by one end of the divine scale. As the scale gradually balanced, the sword thread became as fragile as willow catkins.

Wu Changkong coldly looked at Chu Ci, gently raised the Heavenly Frost Sword, and the first soul ring lit up again. The power and size of the sword threads in front of Chu Ci suddenly increased.

When Chu Ci uses his third soul skill, the greater the difference between the two ends of the divine scale, the more soul power is consumed when balancing.

At this moment, the intensity of the icy sword threads on one side of the Divine Balance surged, and the cost of balancing increased accordingly. Chu Ci's face turned pale, and he immediately felt his body rapidly depleting, so he quickly stopped releasing his third soul skill.

Chu Ci paused, stood with his sword drawn, and countless sparks burst forth from the Wanli Flame, condensing into a tortoise shape that enveloped Chu Ci completely.

The golden patterns on the tortoise shell are clear, and a faint golden-red halo flows around it. The sword threads that come towards you are either blocked by the hard fiery tortoise shell or have their force dissipated by the flowing halo.

Wu Changkong's figure swept around Chu Ci's tortoise shell like a ghost, leaving frost everywhere he went. Countless snowflakes fell on the Flame Tortoise Shield and gradually condensed into frost.

Chu Ci's first and second soul rings flashed, Wan Li Yan was amplified, the flames on the Flame Turtle Shield shot up three feet high, and the frost on the shield melted into water in the blink of an eye, then turned into steam and disappeared.

However, Chu Ci's vision was completely obscured by a vast expanse of white ice mist, and even his spiritual probes were blocked by the ice mist.

Chu Ci let out a long sigh, lowered his body slightly, and was on high alert, so as to react immediately.

Suddenly, alarm bells rang in Chu Ci's mind as a huge sword tip emerged from the icy mist.

Upon hearing Frost Whisper, Chu Ci immediately deduced that Wu Changkong had used his fourth soul skill, Frost Whisper.

With a thought, Chu Ci's Flame Turtle Shield exploded like a volcanic eruption. The energy generated by the explosion, along with the flames that splashed everywhere, slightly hindered the giant Heavenly Frost Sword that Frost Whisper had condensed for a moment.

In that instant, the shattered fiery tortoise shell formed a shield slightly larger than the massive Frost Sword.

Chu Ci raised the Heavenly Candle high, and the Flame Turtle Shield, compressed and full of essence, withstood Frost Ice Whisper's attack.

Seeing Shuang Bingyu being accepted, Wu Changkong remained indifferent and increased the input of his soul power.

The cold air above Shuangbingyu intensified, and the sudden increase in pressure pushed Chu Ci backward, leaving a deep scratch on the ground.

The chill seeped through the Flame Turtle Shield and seeped into the Heavenly Candle, where a thin layer of frost slowly condensed, and the frost continued to spread toward Chu Ci's right hand.

"Heaven, candle," Chu Ci forced out the two words through gritted teeth, enduring the biting cold.

Chu Ci's mind and spirit merged completely with Tianzhu's, and the souls of the man and the soldier resonated with each other, bursting forth with astonishing power.

Suddenly, Tianzhu let out a clear and melodious dragon's roar, and the red eyes on the hilt of the sword suddenly opened, revealing domineering power and majesty.

The frost that had congealed on the Heavenly Candle melted, and a red halo emanated from the Heavenly Candle Sword.

A small sun, seemingly with a divine dragon swimming within it, rose from behind Chu Ci. Its supreme radiance illuminated the entire arena, and the frost mist released by Wu Changkong silently dissipated under the light, making the entire arena shine with a golden-red glow.

When Chu Ci was bathed in the light of the little sun, which was full of supreme yang energy, he felt a surge of power flowing through his meridians, and his whole body was amplified.

The power of Frost Whisper, an extremely cold soul skill, was inevitably weakened and reduced after being baptized by the power of ultimate yang.

Chu Ci shouted loudly, and the supreme yang sword intent of Tianzhu erupted. The Flame Turtle Shield spun and rose, and cracks appeared on the huge sword of Frost Ice Language before it shattered.

Shen Yi, who was hosting the exchange, watched this scene and felt his understanding being challenged.

Shen Yi's lips trembled as he managed to utter a single, strained sentence, "This is... a domain?"

The first-year students in the audience also stared wide-eyed.

Xie Xie exclaimed in surprise, "Class monitor, the class monitor has actually unleashed a domain that only Soul Masters can comprehend!"

Gu Yue's eyes were also filled with shock, but she quickly calmed down and analyzed calmly: "The domain that Chu Ci was able to release must have been largely due to the Heavenly Candle."

"Are Soul Soldiers really that powerful?" Tang Wulin was very surprised.

Ignoring the commotion below the stage, Chu Ci leaned on his sword, receiving the wondrous feedback from the domain he had just released.

Chapter 82 A single, all-out strike, the sword cleaves the four seas.

The "Sunlit Day Domain" grants the entire area an abundance of Yang energy, allowing the designated Soul Masters to receive a 20% boost in all aspects of their abilities. Every move and stance is imbued with the power of ultimate Yang and strength.

Moreover, this is only the initial domain of the Heavenly Candle. As the Heavenly Candle continues to grow, the power of the Sun-Brightening Domain will increase, and it may even develop other functions.

At this moment, beautiful golden-red patterns appeared on Chu Ci's right arm armor, and the power granted to him by the right arm armor became even more domineering and fierce.

Chu Ci gently stroked the Heavenly Candle and said with satisfaction, "Heavenly Candle, well done."

The Heavenly Candle truly lives up to its reputation as the world's premier soul weapon. Its talent far surpasses that of other soul weapons, allowing it to comprehend a domain at level forty-two.

However, this realm is great in every way, except that the soul power it consumes is too much.

Chu Ci could clearly feel that his and Tianzhu's soul power was rapidly decreasing under the Bright Sun Domain.

Chu Ci gripped the Heavenly Candle tightly, knowing he had to finish the battle quickly.
