Chapter 132 Xuanzi Suffers a Brutal Beating, Liu Yuan Breaks Through to Level 50!
At this moment.
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, the light was forcibly suppressed by some kind of formation, and the once warm vitality of the golden tree became unusually cold and solemn at this moment.
Moon stretched out his withered palm and gently clenched it in the air.
The dark golden chains that had been hovering above the pavilion seemed to come alive, slithering down like venomous snakes and instantly wrapping around Xuanzi's limbs and neck. As the chains tightened, this level 98 Super Douluo was lifted off the ground and suspended in the very center of the conference hall.
Xuanzi's soul power was completely sealed by these special chains, and his originally thick defensive soul power could not penetrate his body at all.
He was like an ordinary old man who was caught off guard and forced to endure the punishment that was about to come.
Moon's face was ashen as he gestured with his right hand in front of him. Dense soul power compressed rapidly in the air, eventually condensing into a long whip that shimmered with lightning.
This long whip is completely transparent, yet it contains a substantial pressure; it is the "Discipline Whip," the most severe rule in Shrek Academy.
"Smack!"
Mu En swung his arm, and the long whip lashed out with a sharp whooshing sound as it struck Xuanzi hard on the back.
Xuanzi's body trembled violently, and his tattered outer robe instantly ripped apart. Where the whip passed, it left a deep, charred mark that revealed the bone.
This form of whipping not only affects the body but also directly impacts the soul. Because his soul power was sealed, Xuanzi was unable to alleviate this excruciating pain through his senses.
"Awooo—!"
A piercing scream erupted from Xuanzi's mouth, echoing throughout the empty Sea God Pavilion. The elders sitting nearby all lowered their heads, unable to bear the sight. They knew that Mu En was truly enraged this time.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Mu En did not stop, his long whip falling one after another. The force of each lash was controlled with extreme precision, enough to inflict extreme pain on Xuanzi without damaging his foundation.
As the whipping continued, Xuanzi's body became covered in wounds. His once thick skin was now torn to shreds, and bright red blood dripped down the chains onto the mahogany floor. His screams, which had started loudly, gradually became hoarse, and finally only weak groans remained.
As a level 98 Super Douluo, Xuanzi had never suffered such torment before. But faced with the rules of the Pavilion and the heinous mistake he had made, he could only endure it.
Finally, after striking the prescribed number of times, Moon withdrew his soul power. The whip dissipated, and the chains loosened.
Xuanzi collapsed to the ground like a rag doll, his body covered in crisscrossing bloodstains. He was severely injured and his breath was extremely weak.
Looking at Xuanzi lying on the ground, the anger in Mu En's eyes had not completely subsided. He emphasized again:
"Remember, Xuanzi, this is your last chance. In the next few years, you must train the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils to become successful."
"If you cannot bring back the glory that Shrek Academy has lost in the next Soul Master Competition, and cannot take back the trophy with your own hands, what you will pay is not just this whipping, but your entire cultivation and all traces of your life in Shrek Academy."
Xuanzi lay on the ground, panting heavily, sweat and blood mingling and stinging his wounds. He struggled to sit up, bowed his head towards Mu En, and answered in a hoarse, honest voice:
"Xuanzi…I remember. There will never be a next time."
Although his tone was humble, a strong sense of malice and ruthlessness was growing wildly in Xuanzi's heart.
His cloudy eyes were bloodshot, and the image of Liu Yuan's calm face in Xingluo Square kept flashing through his mind.
"We must win! Next time, I will personally crush the Body Sect and Liu Yuan under my feet! I will let the whole continent know that Shrek Academy is still the unshakeable number one!"
Xuanzi roared inwardly, and this intense resentment even temporarily overshadowed the severe pain in his body.
Meanwhile, in the distant Heavenly Soul Empire, the Body Sect...
The secluded training room where Liu Yuan was located was completely different from the bleak atmosphere of Shrek Academy.
This place is filled with an extremely rich life force, and the gray light emanating from the gold of life intertwines in the air. At the center of this gray ocean, Liu Yuan is in an extremely mysterious state.
Two full months have passed since he returned to the sect.
During these two months, Liu Yuan completely severed all contact with the outside world. Following Electrolux's teachings, he devoted all his mental energy to sorting out the complex soul power nodes within his body. He no longer recklessly attacked the barrier as before, but instead peeled away the impurities on the level 50 threshold layer by layer, like peeling an onion.
At this moment, the soul power within Liu Yuan's body was pulsating at an extremely regular frequency.
He looked inward and could clearly see a tiny, dark golden point of light slowly taking shape at the center of the forty-ninth level soul power vortex. It was the product of the combination of the origin of his double pupils and his soul power, and also the key to his breakthrough.
Liu Yuan's hands formed a strange hand seal, the necromancy seal that Electrolux had taught him. As the seal was formed, Electrolux in his sea of consciousness suddenly opened his eyes, and a pure stream of divine power flowed into Liu Yuan's meridians.
"Right now, let's return to oneness."
Electrolux's voice was like a morning bell or evening drum.
Liu Yuan suddenly mobilized all his soul power, and all the energy stopped rushing outward and instead collapsed madly towards the dark golden light spot in the center.
"Buzz—!"
A muffled rumble echoed from the sealed chamber. The previously calm airflow instantly became violent, Liu Yuan's long hair flew wildly, and the purple-gold flames around him intertwined with Elder Yi's gray energy, forming a huge energy ring.
The barrier that had troubled him for so long, thin as a cicada's wing yet incredibly tough, shattered with a crisp sound at this moment.
Liu Yuan felt a sudden clarity in his mind. His previously somewhat constricted meridians expanded several times over in an instant, and the concentration of soul power within his body underwent a qualitative leap. All discomfort and stagnation vanished, replaced by a sense of fulfillment that allowed him to control the world and perceive the subtle details.
Level 50.
Liu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sparkling with unprecedented excitement.
Within those dual pupils, the previously overlapping pupils were now rotating slightly, seemingly evolving into a scene of the birth and death of stars. A completely new martial soul origin, transcending dimensional levels, was slowly awakening in his perception.
"It's done."
Liu Yuan let out a long sigh, feeling the surging power within his body, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He knew that with the achievement of level 50, the gap between him and his peers had become increasingly large. He would soon have a new spirit ring to upgrade, and his second spirit awakening was likely to come soon as well.
