Chapter 16: Tang Fozu: My family, who understands! I woke up to find my house was robbed!
Huo Yuhao struck first. A flash of white light flashed in his eyes, and Wu Zhangkong, who had been standing, froze for a moment.
In that instant, the ground beneath his feet suddenly turned muddy. His feet sank into it, then instantly solidified, pinning him firmly.
Countless wind blades, fireballs, and ice spikes hurled their way towards Wu Zhangkong.
Then, Wu Zhangkong endured a barrage of elemental attacks from Gu Yuena.
Fortunately, he possessed a Soul Emperor-level physique; a third-ringed Soul Master would likely be unable to stand.
Wu Zhangkong stumbled back, his clothes ripped and ripped by the blast. He looked utterly miserable.
He was horrified. After being struck by Huo Yuhao's mental blast, Wu Zhangkong felt a wave of dizziness and a stinging pain in his head.
Huo Yuhao possessed the Purple Demon Eye? And his mental power was above the Spirit Sea Realm?
Wu Zhangkong's mental power was at the Spirit Sea Realm, enough to cause even Wu Zhangkong to feel the stinging pain in his head.
His mental power was at least at the Spiritual Sea Realm!
Even if Huo Yuhao had a spiritual-type martial soul, he was only nine years old!
To have mental power above the Spiritual Sea Realm at the age of nine was simply incredible!
Also, why did Huo Yuhao have the Purple Demon Eye?
That was impossible. The Tang Sect merged with Shrek Academy thousands of years ago.
Only Shrek Academy students were worthy of learning the Purple Demon Eye!
Was this Huo Yuhao's spirit skill?
Otherwise, could Huo Yuhao actually create his own spirit skills? Or was it a top-level skill like the Purple Demon Eye? What
Wu Changkong didn't know was that Huo Yuhao's mental shock was just a casual creation.
In this life, the first spirit ring given to him by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm possessed four major spirit skills: spirit detection, spirit sharing, simulation, and spirit prison!
Even this mental attack was so simple it couldn't even be considered a self-created spirit skill.
Isn't mental attack simply using mental energy to attack the opponent?
Any powerful being capable of projecting mental energy could comprehend it.
Only Tang Fozu would cherish the so-called Purple Demon Eye as a treasure.
If Huo Yuhao, after a lifetime of cultivation, couldn't even master a simple attack method like mental attack,
then what difference would there be between him and Tang Fozu, the useless man who, after a lifetime of cultivation, only cultivated the inferior Xuantian Gong! The
already injured Wu Changkong attacked without even a moment's respite.
He stepped forward and thrust his sword without any fuss.
He knew by now that Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena were no ordinary men.
If he underestimated them again because of their age, he would likely suffer another defeat in this competition!
When Wu Changkong's Sky Frost Sword was about ten meters away from Huo Yuhao and the others, the tip of the sword suddenly burst into a stream of sword threads.
Sword energy transformed into threads!
Tens of thousands of sword threads woven into a vast net, blocking Gu Yuena's second wave of elemental attacks.
Then, with a sudden jerk of his legs, he shattered the earth-attributed restraints at his feet.
During this brief delay, the ball of white light in front of Huo Yuhao finally condensed.
It instantly shot towards Wu Changkong, swelling in the air with the wind, transforming into a vast net that enveloped him.
A mental prison!
Wu Changkong's forward body was suddenly trapped. He instinctively thrust his sword towards the nearly transparent barrier.
However, his invincible Sky Frost Sword failed to pierce the mental prison.
Huo Yuhao's mental prison could only be breached using his mental power.
Anyone with a mental power lower than Huo Yuhao's would be trapped for at least five full seconds!
Meanwhile, the blue, white, and red vortex of energy in Gu Yuena's hand grew larger and larger.
Eight seconds later, Wu Changkong finally wriggled himself out of his mental prison.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuena flung the blue, white, and red cyclones in her hands, her eyes turning silver.
With a wave of her hands, a flood of ice cones and fireballs merged into the cyclone.
As it flew towards Wu Changkong, the cyclone suddenly expanded into a small tornado, five meters high and one meter in diameter.
Having just escaped his mental prison, Wu Changkong was immediately sucked into the tornado again.
The wind fueled the flames, and the shattering ice cones, like sharp blades, sliced through Wu Changkong's protective spirit energy with a series of teeth-grinding sounds. A
song of ice and fire!
This was Gu Yuena's most powerful attack yet.
However, after unleashing the song of ice and fire, Gu Yuena's face paled.
After more than ten seconds, the song of ice and fire gradually dissipated, revealing Wu Changkong.
He stood breathlessly on the stage, his hands gripping the Sky Frost Sword to brace himself against the ground to prevent himself from falling.
Huo Yuhao had already appeared behind him, the Ice Emperor's claws pointing at Wu Changkong's back.
"Teacher Wu, you lost!"
The expressions of the students watching the match froze, frozen in place. Two Soul Masters had truly defeated a Soul Emperor?
Were they still human?
Wu Changkong was utterly frustrated. He simply couldn't understand how these two little guys could be so powerful.
To resist the tornado, Wu Changkong had already used soul power far beyond that of a Soul Master.
If he hadn't forcibly suppressed his battle armor for the sake of face, even his own would have been activated to protect its master!
And from the ease with which Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena handled the situation, he could sense that they were holding back.
Xie Xie muttered to Tang Wulin, "This is too incredible!"
Tang Wulin nodded with a touch of envy.
This Big Brother Huo had both good character and formidable strength; he must learn from him!
Wu Changkong retracted his spirit, his expression somewhat dazed; he had truly suffered a tremendous blow today.
"You win, class dismissed!"
...
After school, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena took Tang Wulin to the Spirit Pagoda to meet its master, Chu Feng.
Chu Feng praised Tang Wulin's forging talent with great confidence and generously gave him his only remaining ten Spirit Ascension Pills and a storage ring.
Chu Feng also promised to introduce Tang Wulin to the Divine Craftsman Zhenhua after he emerged from seclusion.
At night,
Tang Wulin looked at the ten Spirit Ascension Pills in his hand, recalling the various benefits that Master Chu Feng had promised him.
"Joining the Spirit Pagoda was truly the best decision I've ever made!"
Afterwards, Tang Wulin took ten Soul-Boosting Pills and began meditating to absorb the medicinal power. His martial spirit and soul spirit naturally released.
His single yellow soul ring slowly turned purple!
Gradually, Tang Wulin's consciousness began to blur.
Behind him, a golden line stretched from his cervical vertebrae to his tailbone.
As his consciousness blurred, Tang Wulin found himself in a pitch-black space.
Soon after, a dazzling golden light shone, instantly capturing his attention.
Tang Wulin looked closely and saw that the golden light was actually a giant golden dragon.
The surrounding darkness dissipated, revealing a vast hall before him.
"You're finally here,"
a cold voice suddenly echoed in the hall.
...
A moment later, the voice suddenly became angry and hysterical:
"What? You've already joined the Spirit Pagoda!"
