Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

"What a fast punch!"

Seeing Zhao Tao make his move, Zhou Changxi still thought of resisting, but the moment the thought crossed his mind, he was blasted straight away and crashed heavily into the dormitory wall with a thud.

"You bastard! You've been possessed by the mighty ape!"

Although he was thwarted by Zhao Tao's first attack, Zhou Changxi, who possessed the Mighty Ape Martial Soul and had a tough body, was not seriously injured.

Looking at Zhao Tao in the distance, Zhou Changxi roared and stood up again!

A rich brown light shimmered around his body.

His originally robust body swelled up, and thick hair appeared all over his body.

With the arrival of his martial soul, a white spirit ring appeared directly behind Zhou Changxi, and his aura became much more imposing.

He brandished his fists and charged at Zhao Tao!

"What kind of mighty ape is this, just a curly-haired gorilla?"

"Break it!"

Looking at Zhou Changxi, who was using his Martial Soul Possession, Zhao Tao smiled contemptuously and, with a thought, also activated his Martial Soul.

"Come out, cicada of spring and autumn."

As Zhao Tao uttered his command, a faint silver light shimmered in his palm, and the Spring and Autumn Cicada Martial Soul leaped forth!

However, unlike Zhou Changxi, Zhao Tao did not use any Spring and Autumn Cicada Possession Technique.

After all, in essence, the Spring and Autumn Cicada is not a beast spirit, but like the Blue Silver Grass, it is more of a weapon spirit.

When used, it does not change the appearance of the Soul Master, but is presented through the separation of the Martial Soul body.

"Hmph, a mere insect, is this the source of your confidence?"

Looking at the Spring and Autumn Cicada martial spirit summoned by Zhao Tao, Zhou Changxi's face flashed with disdain. He suddenly threw a punch at Zhao Tao's face.

"Time Buries the Sword!"

Gazing at the fist so close at hand, Zhao Tao's eyes remained as calm as an ancient well, as he silently channeled his soul power.

The next moment, a purple soul ring suddenly flashed behind Zhao Tao.

As the spirit rings flashed, a long sword that shimmered with a magnificent silver light, appeared ancient and simple, and seemed to slightly distort the surrounding space and time, appeared in Zhao Tao's hand.

"A thousand-year-old spirit ring? That's impossible!"

Zhou Changxi's eyes flashed with shock as he watched the purple spirit ring flash behind Zhao Tao.

You should know that even many Soul Masters at the Soul Venerable level don't have a thousand-year Soul Ring!

How come this kid in front of me has a thousand-year soul ring?

Just as Zhou Changxi was in shock, Zhao Tao had already taken out the Time Burial Sword and slashed at Zhou Changxi's neck.

In an instant, a sharp silver sword light shot out, like a startled dragon soaring through the air, heading straight for Zhou Changxi!

Faced with Zhao Tao's fierce sword strike, Zhou Changxi also felt the threat to his life and blocked the sword light with both palms.

The instant Zhou Changxi's palms touched the Time Burial Sword, something miraculous happened—

At this moment, Zhou Changxi's palms and the Time Burial Sword seemed to be in two different times and spaces!

Zhou Changxi's palm seemed to touch the air, passing directly by the Time Burial Sword. He even lost his balance and almost fell over.

Zhao Tao's Time Burial Sword bypassed Zhou Changxi's defenses and continued to slash at Zhou Changxi's neck!

"No, spare me, I don't want to die!"

Looking at the sword blade so close at hand, fear flashed in Zhou Changxi's eyes, and he involuntarily cried out for help, his pants instantly getting soaked.

Amid Zhou Changxi's terrified pleas for mercy, Zhao Tao's Time Burial Sword pierced straight towards Zhou Changxi's neck.

In an instant, a sharp sword light pierced Zhou Changxi's neck, leaving a deep bloody gash that flowed continuously!

"Are you convinced now?"

Looking at Zhou Changxi, whose body was trembling wildly with fear, Zhao Tao spoke coldly and calmly.

"I give up, I give up!"

Upon hearing Zhao Tao's words, Zhou Changxi, who had already been terrified, turned ashen-faced and begged for mercy repeatedly.

Just then.

Suddenly, a teacher from Donghai College walked in outside the dormitory, looking at the four people inside with a serious expression.

"Very good, very good, you guys are quite something! Fighting on your very first day of school, and even engaging in unauthorized spirit battles!"

"You lot, come with me to the academic affairs office to discuss your punishment!"

Looking at Zhao Tao, who was holding the Time Burial Sword, and Zhou Changxi, who was begging for mercy in front of him.

The teacher had a stern look in his eyes and led the four students from the dormitory to the academic affairs office.

......

A few minutes later.

Donghai College, Intermediate Level, Academic Affairs Office.

"So, Zhou Changxi, you were the one who verbally provoked Zhao Tao and Tang Wulin first, which then led to the unauthorized spirit battle?"

Looking at Zhao Tao, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Zhou Changxi in front of him.

Long Hengxu, the dean of students at Donghai Academy, had a serious and authoritative look in his eyes.

After hearing the details of the incident, Long Hengxu stared at Zhou Changxi with a gloomy expression and questioned him.

"Yes, that's right."

Faced with Long Hengxu's questioning and recalling Zhao Tao's terrifying strength, Zhou Changxi dared not argue or distort the facts, and could only nod repeatedly.

"Zhou Changxi, your martial spirit is actually quite good, but your soul power is too low. I was planning to assign you to Class 3."

"I never expected that you, as a Soul Master, would bully the weak. As punishment, you'll be assigned to the worst class, Class Five!"

Looking at Zhou Changxi, Long Hengxu issued the punishment.

"Zhao Tao, engaging in unauthorized spirit battles within the academy and harming fellow students is a violation of school rules and could result in your expulsion!"

"However, I also know that you are not at fault at all in this matter."

"It's good that men show courage in the face of provocation."

"Besides, you're new here and don't know the rules of Donghai Academy."

"However, you did hurt Zhou Changxi..."

"As punishment, your studies at Donghai Academy will begin in Class 5. Are you satisfied?"

Looking at Zhao Tao beside him, a hint of appreciation appeared deep in Long Hengxu's eyes, and then he spoke.

"I'm convinced, Director Long."

Upon hearing Long Hengxu's name, Zhao Tao nodded expressionlessly, but secretly rejoiced.

My plan succeeded!

Compared to Class One, Zhao Tao felt that Class Five, where Wu Changkong was to teach, was undoubtedly more interesting.

Moreover.

Tang Wulin's class is also Class 5.

By going to Class 5, I can actually take better care of Tang Wulin and properly reform his thinking.

One day, Tang Wulin will witness the ugly true face of the God King Tang, and in the end, a famous scene of "filial piety between father and son" will be staged.

"good!"

"Zhao Tao, I believe that with your talent, you can definitely make it back to Class One through the promotion tournament!"

Looking at Zhao Tao's calm and collected demeanor, Long Hengxu nodded approvingly and offered encouragement.

"I'm sorry, Brother Tao, it's all my fault. I've dragged you down."

Hearing Long Hengxu punish Zhao Tao, Tang Wulin felt guilty and sad.

"It's nothing, just a small setback. From now on, we'll work together and beat everyone else!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tao smiled slightly, patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder, and comforted him.
