--- Chapter 147 ---
The Blue Sunshine Academy's challenge gained attention, especially from the Star Luo Empire's side.
Dai Weisi, the first imperial prince of the Star Luo Empire, glanced at the Blue Sunshine Academy and smirked slightly, "What a fool."
Since the "Star Crown" martial soul rarely occurred, many spirit masters didn't know about this strong martial soul's ability and often looked down on it.
Still, Dai Weisi knew best that the "Star Crown" martial soul could easily take over the Star Luo Empire if they wanted to. After all, the Star Crown Sect resembles the Clear Sky Sect in their empire.
The only thing that prevented the Star Crown Sect from doing that was their low number of inheritors, unlike the Dai Family and Zhu Family, who have numerous descendants and each strongly inherited "White Tiger" and "Nether Cat" martial souls.
Even without the "Star Crown" martial soul, the Star Crown Sect has many spirit masters with high potential because each member has a martial soul with a star attribute.
Star attribute is truly special in Douluo World, particularly because it could draw and utilize celestial phenomena to strengthen their cultivation.
Beside Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but laugh softly, "I don't know where Shi Nian got his confidence from. He's going to kick a metal plate soon."
Dai Weisi nodded, "Mm, let's save our strength while seeing this clown perform."
Although the Star Luo Imperial Academy was also a defender team, their condition was actually much better than Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Star Crown Academy, and especially the Elephant Armored Team, which the Tianshui Team replaced.
Then, again, their stamina has gotten consumed hard.
Zhu Zhuyun agreed with Dai Weisi's words and then glanced at Han Yuan, feeling somewhat helpless because her good sister actually followed this boy not too long ago.
Back then, Zhu Zhuyun sent some of her agents to scare Zhu Zhuqing, but who would have thought someone from Dao Academy would recruit her sister on the spot?
Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but wonder, 'I wonder how Zhuqing is now? Has she become stronger?'
'You must have become stronger, Zhuqing. With Dao Academy's help, you can easily break the family's cursed arrangement. Honestly, I was pretty jealous of you...'
'Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about it.'
After having this complicated thought, Zhu Zhuyun shook her head and buried her feelings deeply. Now, she should focus more on defending the Star Luo Imperial Academy's glory.
...
...
"We accept!" Xu Hansheng, the captain of the Star Crown Team, replied loudly. "As for the format, let's do a team fight."
Shi Nian couldn't hide his grin because he knew the Star Crown Team's pride was no small, and they couldn't afford more duo or single fight without losing points.
With a team fight, Shi Nian was confident his Blue Sunshine Academy could win because his team had a secret skill.
Shi Nian glanced at his students and said, "Go on, bring victory to our academy!"
Shi Nian's students nodded excitedly as they entered the stage wearing the Blue Sunshine Academy's maroon suits.
The captain is a young man named Shen Xinshui, a level 37 Spirit Elder with a "Gemstone" martial soul focused on a spiritual control path.
Each member of the Blue Sunshine Team possesses a similar "Gemstone" martial soul that resonates with one another through their similar choice of spirit rings. While they couldn't achieve Spirit Fusion, they could do a Spirit Skill Fusion!
Xu Hansheng stared at Shen Xinshui calmly and said, "Xu Hanshen, a level 47 Spirit Ancestor focused on auxiliary control system, martial soul: Star Crown."
Shen Xinshui wasn't nervous that his enemy was ten levels higher than him because his Blue Sunshine team possessed their sure-win trump cards.
So, he arrogantly glared back and replied, "Shen Xinshui, a level 37 Spirit Elder focused on the spiritual control system, martial soul: Gemstone!"
Then, the rest of the teams also introduced themselves.
At first, Xu Hansheng didn't think much of it. However, when the last third member of the Blue Sunshine Team introduced himself, he couldn't help but deduce his enemy's trump card.
'Seven similar martial souls. Is it Spirit Fusion?' Xu Hansheng and the rest of the experts inside the venue guessed.
"Challenger: Blue Sunshine Academy, Defender: Star Crown Academy, and thus the fight begins!"
"White Stars Calling!" Xu Hansheng called his Star Crown martial soul and activated his head spirit bone's spirit skill, causing countless white stars to appear above the Star Crown Team.
"What, Spirit Head Bone?" Shi Nian almost pulled his beard in panic.
On the other hand, the Blue Sunshine Team set a hexagonal pattern and resonated with their Gemstone martial souls.
Xu Hansheng frowned and ordered, "Star Barrier's Formation!"
Star Crown Team was speechless upon hearing their captain's order but followed his command.
However, unlike the Blue Sunshine Team's formation, which focused on resonance, the Star Crown Team's focused star attributes on one person, Xu Hansheng.
Eventually, both skills are activated simultaneously.
"Star Barrier!"
"Seven Asura Dreamland!"
The venue gasped because they didn't expect to see such a spectacular sight in tonight's event.
"Star Barrier?!" Dai Weisi's eyes almost popped out.
"They are done for..."
Zhu Zhuyun tilted her head, "Star Barrier sounds powerful, but it shouldn't be that powerful, right?"
Dai Weisi sighed and shook his head helplessly, "You don't understand, Zhuyun."
"Star Barrier is an inherited skill of Star Crown Sect."
"It can isolate all elements in the area indefinitely, and even unbreakable on the same realm."
"It also grows alongside the cultivator, becoming fearsome as the Star Crown advances."
"Even Title Douluo will become chicken on the chopping block with this barrier."
"It also has another name..."
"What is it?" Although Zhu Zhuyun has accompanied Dai Weisi for years, the secrets of upper sects in the Star Luo Empire were well guarded.
Dai Weisi stared at the Blue Sunshine Team as if looking at a bunch of corpses, "Absolute Star Defense!"
The Blue Sunshine Team got trapped in the barrier made of golden starlights. Their resonance Spirit Skill Fusion immediately becomes obsolete as countless stars suddenly appear on their heads, ready to bombard them with bright white light.
"NOOOOOOO!" Shi Nian roared in anger.
Shi Nian regretted challenging the Star Crown Academy. He didn't expect this injured beast to have a poisonous side, and it bit him right on the ass viciously.
Xu Hansheng stared at the Blue Sunshine Team coldly, 'Do you think we are so weak that a third-rate academy like you can mock us?'
'This is the dignity of Star Crown Sect!'
As everyone watched the bright white light descend, they expected death.
However, a thousand birds' cries abruptly echoed in this split second, and purple-silver light directly tore the Star Barrier apart like its flimsy paper and blew the bright white light away.
BOOOOOOM!!
A pillar of lightning energy exploded in the sky, shaking the venue slightly.
Everyone's eyes widened in awe, especially those who knew about the Star Barrier's ability.
They traced the lightning energy's origin and stared at Han Yuan, whose right hand raised slightly with chaotic purple-silver electricity.
Everyone from the Star Crown Sect stared at Han Yuan like he was an alien because this young man shattered their Sect's ancestral inheritance skill.
Sure, Xu Hansheng is just a Spirit Ancestor. But even the Spirit Emperor can't break his Star Barrier!
Han Yuan's monstrous performance made the Star Crown Sect doubt their inheritance!
Since when did our sect Star Barrier become so weak?
No, no, it must be this guy who is abnormal!
After all, Is this what a human could do?
Han Yuan was bored.
He expected the Blue Sunshine Team to show something amazing, but their plan backfired quickly. Is this the team that put Shrek Academy in a difficult position in the original timeline?
He had to say... It was disappointing.
"Star Crown Team wins, 4 points!" Han Yuan said indifferently.
"Next."
