Wang Yan, ever since he had led the team back, besides returning to the outer court to teach, on normal days would shrink into the inner court and not come out. Every day, he would go back and forth between Elder Xuan's and his own residence. Like a hungry wolf, he would continuously scrape together the property that Elder Xuan had privately stored in the past.
Just the day before yesterday, he had received news from Qing Ya, that she wanted to use his status in Shrek to do a business deal in Shrek City. But now that he had lost the thigh of Elder Xuan, what status did he have to speak of? In order to retain his dream lover as much as possible, he had no choice but to take this last resort.
Fortunately, Elder Xuan had been in Shrek for many years, and the assets he had stored were still quite a few. As for whether he could help Qing Ya and the others, that was unknown. What's more, he was also facing a sky-high compensation from the academy. Even if he were to work for the academy for the rest of his life, I'm afraid it would be very difficult to pay back this sum of money.
The Heaven and Earth Splitting Cannon was eight million gold soul coins. Even the highest-paid teacher in the Shrek outer court would only have less than three to four hundred thousand gold soul coins in a year. The moment he thought of this, Wang Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the fickleness of the world, and feel indignant for his own encounter.
And just the day before yesterday, Yan Shaozhe had also brought Xiao Xiao back to Shrek Academy. At that time, his entire body was covered in injuries. It was clear that Xiong Jun had not been light-handed, which had made this Bright Phoenix Douluo suffer a great deal.
Just as Elder Zhuang was making a move to heal him, suddenly, a somewhat strange voice sounded, "Yan Shaozhe, you come out for this old one."
This voice, at first listen, seemed not very loud. But after it had sounded in one's ear, there was a rumbling sound, as if one after another of an explosive thunder had appeared in one's mind. What was even more terrifying was that this voice had enveloped the entire Shrek Academy. A few simple words had actually caused Shrek Academy to have a feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the city, on the verge of being destroyed.
Yan Shaozhe's face changed greatly. He said in a deep voice, "Not good. A strong enemy has arrived. Mei'er, you immediately order all the students to return to their classrooms and not to go out. I'll go one step first." As he spoke, Yan Shaozhe's body swayed, and his body had already shot out like an electric current, his target precisely the direction from which the voice had come.
At this time, Wang Yan had just walked out not far from Elder Xuan's residence. Hearing this sudden voice, he was also startled. The strange voice made his consciousness tremble for a moment, and he almost fell to the ground. He couldn't help but say with horror, "What a strong spiritual power! Who is this person? It seems he has come to find the dean?"
Compared to the teachers of the academy, most of the students of Shrek were more pathetic. One after another, their faces were pale. Those with weaker cultivation were even in a state of being on the verge of collapse.
Zhou Yi and a group of other outer court teachers hurriedly said, "Everyone, don't panic. Immediately follow the teachers back to the classrooms."
In Shrek Academy, what place was the safest? Without a doubt, it was the core Sea God Pavilion of Sea God Island. Unfortunately, the students of the outer court, even at such a critical moment, could not enter.
"Old poison freak, is that you?" Just at this time, Yan Shaozhe's vast and powerful voice sounded in the sky above Shrek Academy. A bright, golden light shot up to the sky. The dazzling brilliance had in an instant enveloped the entire academy. Not only that, vaguely, within Shrek Academy, one after another of a formidable and incomparable momentum suddenly burst out, like one after another of an airwave, shooting up to the sky.
"Good... what a good Shrek Academy. What, you want to bully the few with your many? Then let's compare," outside Shrek Academy, one after another of a thick light flame shot up to the sky. With a fierce count, there were at least more than twenty of them. Every ray of light that had rushed into the sky was condensed and not scattered. Especially the one at the very front, a faint green pillar of light, was extremely thick. Its light was even as if it would cover all the other pillars of light behind it.
Yan Shaozhe was suspended in the void above Sea God Island. At this time, he still had not forgotten to strike a handsome pose. He said coldly, "What? Old poison freak, you are planning to go to war with our Shrek Academy?"
In the faint green light in the distance, a figure slowly manifested. It was a tall old man, a head of long, ink-green hair scattered behind his back. But what was a little funny was that he had no hair on the top of his head. He was actually bald.
The old man's face was rosy like a baby's, without even many wrinkles. The only thing that could let one see his age was the vicissitude in his pair of also-ink-green pupils.
Behind the old man, more than twenty pillars of light were arranged in a line. They gradually manifested their figures. Their forms were varied, but to be able to be suspended in mid-air with their own cultivation, every one of them was a top-tier expert—
A soul master with a non-flying-type martial soul, even at the seven-ring Soul Sage level, could only fly in the air for a short period of time. Only after reaching the eight-ring level and above could they be suspended like this. And only after reaching the Titled Douluo level could they fly for a long time with their powerful soul power. In other words, the more than twenty people in the sky had at least a cultivation of eight rings and above.
To dare to proactively come to their door to provoke, to find trouble with Shrek Academy, without enough strength was also impossible. These people were clearly coming with bad intentions.
On Shrek Academy's side, one after another of figures also slowly rose into the sky. On the side of the teaching building, who knows how many students were all lie on one's stomach at the windows, looking at the scene in the distant sky, their eyes all straight. A confrontation of such top-tier experts was not something that could be seen at any time. Even the inner court disciples were also seeing it for the first time.
Soon, the inner and outer court students of Shrek Academy were shocked to find that on the academy's side, those who had risen into the sky were actually more than thirty people, more than the number of the invaders. Standing at the very front was Dean Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe seemed a little worried. It was clear that he knew why Du Busi had come. He forced a cold and indifferent look and said, "Old poison freak, what do you want, putting on such a grand formation today? Is your Body Sect going to re-emerge on the continent, and the first one you're looking for is our Shrek Academy?"
The moment the three words "Body Sect" came out, the younger teachers who were suspended behind Elder Xuan all had their expressions turn stern. No wonder the other side had dared to invade so wantonly. It turned out to be the experts of the Body Sect.
Shrek Academy and the Body Sect had always been known as top-tier powers on the continent. The latter also had an absolute foundation.
The green-haired old man, who had been called an "old poison freak" by Yan Shaozhe, snorted. His two eyes rolled upwards. "Yan Shaozhe, you are asking what you already know. What? My Body Sect's contemporary Young Master, who had come to your Shrek for further study, have you forgotten?"
Yan Shaozhe was not the Xuan Lao of the original world line. He was very wary of this one. He could only brace himself and explain, "I am very regretful about Cao Jinxuan's death. But that was, after all, caused by the Beast God Di Tian and an unknown super ferocious beast making a move. My current cultivation is only at level ninety-six. How could I have saved your Body Sect's Young Master from Di Tian's hands?"
Du Busi snorted angrily. "Bullshit, bullshit! Your Shrek has deliberately harmed a member of my sect, yet you are still so plausible. Today, this old one will surely not let you off! Let this old one see, without Xuan Zi, from where does your confidence come?" As he spoke, he roared angrily. A thick, ink-green light suddenly shot up to the sky, dyeing half the sky an ink-green. His main body had also in an instant swelled. In a flash, he had actually enlarged by more than ten times. His ink-green skin had bulged, turning into huge muscles like granite. Only a pair of shorts on his lower body protected his vital parts. Of course, the pair of shorts was clearly specially made. Otherwise, it would also have been burst by his huge body.
What was most terrifying still had to be the soul rings on Du Busi's body. Two yellow, two purple, two black, three red—there were actually as many as three hundred-thousand-year soul rings. The moment this martial soul was fully released, the monstrous flame of qi was as if it would shatter even the air.
Yan Shaozhe's expression was a sheet of gravity. He let out a long whistle and then immediately shot up to the sky. A thick, golden light bloomed from his body. A formidable aura suddenly burst out. A bright, Radiant Phoenix phantom also then propped up a patch of the sky above Shrek. Gold and green were clearly distinct in the high sky.
However, compared to Du Busi, his soul rings were a little inferior. Two yellow, two purple, four black, one red. At the level of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, he only had one in total. This also meant that at least in terms of a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, he would be two less than Du Busi.
At this time, Xiao Xiao, Jiang Nannan, He Caitou, Bei Bei, and the others, under the leadership of Cai Mei'er, had already arrived outside the Sea God Pavilion. She looked at the situation in the high sky with a worried look and said to the few, "You all hurry up and enter the Sea God Pavilion! No matter what happens, do not come out, understand?"
"Yes," the few hurriedly agreed. They were full of shock for the sudden change in the sky. Although this was not the first time they had seen Yan Shaozhe fully release his own strength, those who could make him go all out were all, without exception, the supreme experts of the current world.
"No need to enter the pavilion. Just watch from the door," a coarse voice sounded, falling into the ears of Cai Mei'er and the few from Xiao Xiao's side. Hearing this voice, Cai Mei'er let out a big sigh of relief. After giving a deep bow in the direction of the Sea God Pavilion, her toes tapped the ground, and she transformed into a red light, instantly rising into the sky. As the vice dean of the martial soul department, with the dignity of Shrek Academy being provoked, how could she be absent at a time like this?
Undoubtedly, the owner of the coarse voice was precisely Elder Mu. With Elder Mu here, the future Shrek Seven Devils would naturally not be in any danger.
Just at this time, a deafening roar suddenly exploded in the sky. The Body Sect's master, Du Busi, and the Yan Shaozhe couple had already begun to make a move.
Within a hundred li, the entire sky had changed color because of their battle. On one side was a bright gold and red, and on the other was a domineering ink-green. Each occupied one side of the sky. And the position where the three colors met, on the contrary, with the battle of the Yan Shaozhe couple and Du Busi, the wind and clouds had risen. This was truly a terrifying competition where heaven and earth had changed color!
In mid-air, the Radiant Phoenix transformed from Yan Shaozhe was seen to be charging forward. A golden light behind him was like a monstrous wave, bombarding Du Busi. The ink-green giant transformed from Du Busi was, on the other hand, striding and running in the void, boldly meeting him without any retreat.
Amidst a loud roar, the three of them had collided in mid-air.
At this instant, whether it was Shrek Academy's side or the Body Sect's side, all the experts who had originally been suspended in the air had all rapidly descended, each falling back to the ground.
A terrifying pressure instantly descended from the sky and had not dissipated until it was close to a hundred meters from the ground. This was the two great experts on Shrek's side being unable to make up for it. It seemed that Du Busi had the intention of fighting Yan Shaozhe to the death.
Bei Bei and the few on the ground, their figures were swaying. Their faces were a sheet of pale. The terrifying pressure was as if the sky had collapsed. Was this the duel of a top-tier expert? It turned out that a person's power could actually reach such a terrifying degree!
Elder Mu's voice had not sounded again, nor had he explained anything to them. He had just let the few of them silently watch the sky.
The reason why he had let them stay outside instead of entering the Sea God Pavilion was precisely to have them seriously observe this heaven-shaking battle. Such a great battle, in the entire Douluo Continent, it was unknown how many years it would be before there was another one. For a young soul master, this knowledge was also a precious experience.
In mid-air, the bold collision of the three great experts had made the sky as if a blooming firework had suddenly exploded. The ink-green light behind Du Busi had suddenly formed a large patch of a vortex. Cai Mei'er was holding her Soul-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear. Ten thousand points of a spear's light and the golden light behind Yan Shaozhe had in an instant fused into countless huge, golden-red light balls, turning into a large patch of a evil-breaking phoenix meteor shower that crashed straight for the ink-green vortex.
A meteor-shower-type soul skill, Bei Bei and the others had seen quite a few. Among them, the Phoenix Meteor Shower of Ma Xiaotao during their practice was the strongest. There was also Dai Yueheng's White Tiger Meteor Shower. However, those meteor showers were just soul skills that simulated a meteor shower. The area they covered was at most just a few hundred square meters. And the meteor shower that the Yan Shaozhe couple were displaying at this time was like a true heavenly might! It blotted out the sky and covered the earth. The end could simply not be seen. It was as if the sky had been torn apart.
But Du Busi was also indeed powerful. The huge, ink-green vortex had formed a funnel shape in the air. No matter how the terrifying meteor shower impacted, it was nevertheless unmoving. The golden-red light, upon entering, was as if a clay ox entering the sea, and had instantly disappeared.
"Du Busi, you're a madman!" Yan Shaozhe's somewhat panting voice sounded in the air.
Du Busi was in the midst of a great rage. He said angrily, "We members of the Body Sect are originally madmen. This old one doesn't believe, without Xuan Zi, how long you all can last!"
