Chapter 169 War Dance in the Sky
"Xie Xie, don't fall asleep! Now is the time to study! As long as you finish reading these books and doing these exercises, believe me, becoming a level three mecha engineer will be a piece of cake." Tang Wulin stood behind Xie Xie and woke him up when he was about to fall asleep.
"God! I'm a Soul Master! Why do I have to do so many problems? In the end, I'm still just a Level 1 Mecha Maker." Xie Xie wrote the problems while tears streamed down his face.
"Trust my judgment as a native of Mingdu! This method is definitely reliable. All the soul masters over there use these papers and books to prepare for their exams." Xu Yucheng crossed his legs and confidently assured Xie Xie.
While Tang Wulin and Luo Guixing were selecting books, they suddenly thought of Xu Yucheng, a native of Mingdu. At his strong recommendation, Tang Wulin and Luo Guixing bought so many books for Xie Xie.
"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Three years as a Soul Instructor, five years as a Soul Master, and the Mingdu Secret Scroll. Xie Xie, you've got a lot to do." Yang Nianxia looked at the tall pile of books next to Xie Xie and smiled maliciously.
After that battle, the relationship between the group of friends was greatly strengthened. Whenever they had free time, they would come to Tang Wulin and Xie Xie's dormitory to chat.
"Get out of here! Don't disturb me while I'm doing my homework!"
"Hahahahahahahaha!" Tang Wulin and the others' laughter filled the room, forming a stark contrast to Xie Xie's bitter face.
at the same time
A figure stealthily crept onto Seagod Island. Chen Xinjie, wearing the Seagod Helmet, looked around, searching for Long Yeyue. He had been busy dealing with matters concerning the Federation, which was why he only had time to find Long Yeyue today.
To remain concealed, he even took the Sea God Helmet from his family's possession this time. This artifact would be indispensable for him to infiltrate Shrek Academy undetected.
Old Jin followed behind Chen Xinjie, looking at this uninvited guest with a strange expression. He had seen thieves before, but in all his years of life, he had never seen anyone take out their family's most prized artifact just to see their old flame.
With a quick glance, Old Jin's lips curled into a wicked smile. He conjured up the aura of Long Yeyue in the air. Sensing Long Yeyue's aura, Chen Xinjie immediately followed its direction to a secluded wooden hut.
He straightened his clothes before knocking on the door: "Moon! Moon! I'm here! Open the door quickly!"
The wooden door slowly opened, and a smile appeared on Chen Xinjie's face. He knew Yue'er couldn't let go of him.
Just as he was about to step inside, a long spear suddenly flew out of the room. Chen Xinjie quickly dodged and prepared to run away. As long as he ran fast enough, Yun Ming would have no way to prove anything.
When the spear flew out, Chen Xinjie recognized it as Yun Ming's Sky-Piercing Divine Spear. Although he didn't know why Yun Ming was in Yue'er's room, it was best to leave now.
"Still trying to leave!" Yun Ming transformed into a streak of white light and flew out of the wooden house. He still had a smile on his face. He was so angry at Chen Xinjie's behavior that he laughed.
That's really something, coming to see Long Yeyue and even knocking on his own door. If he doesn't teach him a lesson today, Chen Xinjie will really think he's a pushover.
Chen Xinjie neither showed himself nor spoke. He simply used his mental energy to obscure his own figure and continue his escape.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion. One elder stood up and flew into the air, looking in the direction Yun Ming had left with a solemn expression.
It was just speculation before, but today someone actually managed to reach their Seagod Island. Feng Wuyu suddenly clapped his hands: "I know!"
Feng Wuyu's loud shout drew everyone's attention. Zhuoshi looked at him like he was an idiot: "What do you know! Shouting so loudly! Like a moron!"
"You're the idiot! Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you!" Feng Wuyu waved his hand and excitedly revealed his discovery: "You guys say that since he was able to sneak into our Seagod Island without a sound, does that mean that he was the one who stole our treasure that year?"
"Isn't that obvious?!" Zhuoshi rolled his eyes. He thought Feng Wuyu was going to say something earth-shattering.
"Hey! Are you stupid! Once Boss Yunming catches him, we can demand the return of our lost resources from the forces behind him one by one..."
Before Feng Wuyu could finish speaking, Zhuoshi immediately interrupted him: "Isn't that obvious? Do you think we don't know? We're just waiting for Boss Yunming to bring him back."
Enraged by Zhuoshi's repeated interruptions, Feng Wuyu rolled up his sleeves and started fighting with him.
Ignoring the two Shrek twin dragons fighting behind them, everyone gazed into the distance, waiting for Yun Ming's arrival.
After a while, Yun Ming flew back with a face full of anger. He looked at the elders and shook his head: "The other party came prepared this time. I only injured him, but in the end, the thief still got away!"
After giving a few more instructions and waiting for the other elders to leave, Yunming and Yali returned to their small wooden cabin.
Ya Li looked at her husband in confusion: "Brother Ming! Why don't you tell the truth? Don't you already know he's Chen Xinjie?"
"I know! What's the use of knowing! If news of Chen Xinjie coming to see Long Yeyue in the middle of the night spreads throughout Douluo Continent, what will become of my teacher's reputation? What will become of the reputation of Shrek Academy?"
Yun Ming sat down and rubbed his temples again. Chen Xinjie knew that he cared about his teacher's reputation, so whenever he tried to catch up with him, Yun Ming would pretend to attack Shrek Academy below, forcing him to stop.
Ya Li understood her husband's worries. She walked behind him and massaged his temples while her life-giving soul power enveloped Yun Ming, relieving his headache.

Lecture Hall
Shen Yi and Wu Changkong walked into the classroom. Shen Yi looked at the students and said, "Today we will have a practical lesson. Our opponents are me and Teacher Wu. Now, the class monitor will lead us to the arena for a sparring match."
After speaking, Shen Yi and Wu Changkong led the way outside. Following the two, everyone arrived at the sparring arena located on the south side of the first floor.
"Besides our battle armor, we will use all our soul skills. Challenge us according to your assigned groups. You have five minutes to discuss. You can choose your opponents. Defeating us will get you full marks, and if you don't defeat us, we will still score you based on your performance."
"Let's have our class monitor set the example. Chenran, who do you choose?"
"Hmm! Teacher Wu, I guess!"
As Qian Gu Chenran walked onto the arena, all the students in Class One looked at him expectantly. They also wanted to see what kind of soul skill their class monitor, the number one on the list of young geniuses, possessed.
Wu Changkong, holding the Heavenly Frost Sword, looked solemnly at the smiling Qian Gu Chenran opposite him. Unlike the other students, Qian Gu Chenran could already be considered a rising genius.
If you don't give it your all, you'll only end up losing.
Five black spirit rings appeared behind him, and silver flames coiled around Qian Gu Chen Ran's body. Wu Chang Kong's pupils contracted sharply. He instantly transformed into a blur and vanished from the spot.
Silver flames struck the spot where he had just been standing. Qian Gu Chen Ran swung his left hand out suddenly, and a blood-red pillar of energy slammed into Wu Chang Kong.
Body combat skill: Qi and Blood Rainbow
Chapter 170 The Beginning of Chaos
Wu Changkong's third soul ring lit up, and his third soul skill, Heavenly Frost Slash, stood straight to meet Qian Guchenran's blood and qi rainbow.
The scorching blood and qi collided with the chilling sword energy, producing a sizzling sound. The collision between the Heavenly Frost Slash and the Blood and Qi Rainbow generated a large amount of mist, which then dissipated.
Fog filled the arena, obscuring what was happening inside for the crowd below.
With a deep purple light shining in his eyes, Wu Changkong intently observed his surroundings, his feet poised to unleash the Ghost Shadow Step at any moment.
Frosty sword marks the size of a thumb covered his body. The sudden attack just now gave Wu Changkong a more direct understanding of Qian Gu Chen Ran.
Just from that attack of qi and blood, an ordinary Soul King who took that hit would have instantly died, or even one with a weaker constitution.
The Eye of Emptiness opened; a true hero kills with his eyes. Several silver rays, each as thick as a thumb, shot out from the Eye of Emptiness.
Wu Changkong, who had already activated his Purple Demon Eye, immediately detected Qian Guchenran's ray. Daodaoshuanghen stepped forward to weaken the ray's power, while Wu Changkong himself used the Ghost Shadow Step to become afterimages as he moved around the arena.
As Wu Changkong used his Ghostly Shadow Steps to approach Qian Gu Chenran, an invisible pressure suddenly appeared around him. Qian Gu Chenran made a fist with his left hand, and the space around Wu Changkong was compressed under his control.
A look of shock flashed in Wu Changkong's eyes. The intense pressure around him delayed him for a moment. The icy blue sword intent soared into the sky, and the chilling aura from the far north swept around Wu Changkong.
The air, enveloped by this chilling aura, hissed and condensed. The fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up, and the fourth spirit skill, Frost Whisper, transformed into a pale white ring that expanded outwards from Wu Changkong's center. Countless ice spikes appeared out of thin air, turning the arena into a frozen hell composed of ice.
Whoosh! A silver flame suddenly appeared above the arena, as if it had been nourished by the space itself and transformed into a sea of fire.
The sea of fire suddenly rushed downwards, and Wu Changkong felt the scorching heat and the fear of the surrounding ice elements. His pupils contracted sharply, and his seventh, fourth, and first spirit rings lit up in succession.
The Frost Sword in his hand suddenly swelled into a giant longsword, floating above Wu Changkong's head. Endless cold air emanated from it. The icy chill of Frost Whisper and the sword marks of Frost Mark intertwined to form a circular protective shield, protecting Wu Changkong within.
The sea of fire formed by the Flames of the Void crashed down, engulfing the protective shield created by the two soul skills.
Step! Step! Step! Qian Gu Chen Ran walked out of mid-air step by step. He looked at the ice tide that was fighting against his sea of fire and raised his eyebrows curiously.
It seems that Wu Changkong must have obtained some kind of opportunity, which made his Heavenly Frost Sword even stronger, and at the same time, it also broke through the lowest temperature cold air it could create.
As the sea of fire dissipated, the faint icy blue protective shield suddenly shattered into countless fragments. The fragments transformed into sharp icicles that flew towards Qian Gu Chen Ran in the air. Wu Chang Kong, wielding the Heavenly Frost Sword, unleashed several Heavenly Frost Slashes towards Qian Gu Chen Ran as well.
The third spirit ring lit up, and an invisible distortion appeared on Qian Gu Chen Ran's left hand.
Whoosh! To everyone's astonishment, the ice spikes and Heavenly Frost Slash that were attacking Qian Gu Chen Ran vanished without a trace. Although the Heavenly Frost Sword in Wu Chang Kong's hand did not make contact with Qian Gu Chen Ran, its size also began to gradually shrink.
The third soul skill, Tai Xu Wu Xu, causes the soul master's soul skills to transform into soul power and drift in the air when enveloped by Tai Xu Wu Xu.
Taking this opportunity, a silver light enveloped the arena, and the second soul skill, Timeless Impossibility, was activated. Wu Changkong felt as if the space and time around him had been frozen.
"Qian Gu Chen Ran wins! Qian Gu Chen Ran gets full marks in this practical lesson!" Shen Yi looked at Wu Chang Kong with a smile, whose movements were almost invisible as he was shrouded in the shroud of time.
Finally, she was no longer alone in being tormented by Qian Gu Chen Ran's various underworld soul skills. Having taught Qian Gu Chen Ran for so long, Shen Yi's biggest impression of him, besides his unparalleled talent and situational awareness, was his few soul skills.
They're all incredibly cunning!
Gulp! The sound of swallowing saliva rang out. The students of Class One watched Qian Gu Chen Ran walking off the stage and felt their legs trembling.
Are you kidding me! These monsters are the same age as them? Besides having two eyes and a nose, what else do they have that they can compare to them?
The three students from Donghai, who had been taught by Wu Changkong for many years, all swallowed hard. None of the students present understood Wu Changkong's strength better than them. Even their respected teacher, Wu, had been suppressed like this; where had they gotten the courage to challenge Qian Gu Chenran in the first place?
As Shen Yi announced the result, Qian Gu Chen Ran released the Time-Binding Impasse. Freed, Wu Chang Kong coldly stared at Shen Yi, who had been smirking the whole time, a bunch of black lines appearing on her forehead. Her junior sister had deliberately set a trap to see him suffer.
Gu Yue stared intently at Qian Gu Chenran, who was recruiting people for the Spirit Pagoda, her eyes burning with fervor. Handsome, exceptionally talented, and the heir to the Spirit Pagoda. If they could just win him over, their plan to revive their soul beasts would be practically complete.
It seems she'll have to intensify her efforts to win over Qian Gu Chen Ran.
Na'er looked at Gu Yue's confident demeanor, a smile flashing in her eyes. She could tell at a glance that her other half was up to no good. But that suited her just the way things were.
As a fellow Silver Dragon King, Na'er didn't care at all whether the soul beasts lived or died. Compared to the soul beasts, she cared more about her family members like Qian Gu Chen Ran, Aunt Xia, and Uncle Qing Feng, with whom she spent every day.
The Spirit Pagoda's research into artificial, ten-thousand-year-old souls had been stalled for a long time, and Na'er felt that it was the perfect time for Gu Yue to join the Spirit Pagoda.
To gain the trust of higher-ups and rise to a high position, Gu Yue definitely needs to produce some results. And creating a ten-thousand-year-old soul is her best opportunity.
Gu Yue, the Soul Beast Princess and the half-body of the Dragon God, is nothing more than a piece of cake for a mere artificial ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit.
Once she succeeds in her research, the strength and influence of the Spirit Pagoda will definitely rise to a new level. Because of her research on soul spirits, she will certainly have less time to pursue Qian Gu Chen Ran.
By then, it will be Na'er's turn. With her and Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui as her two generals, taking down a little Chen Ran will be a piece of cake.
By the time Gu Yue came to her senses, Chen Ran was already completely absorbed in his pleasure. There was no place for her there.
..........................................
"Next, come up on stage in groups of three for the assessment. The first group is Na'er, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Xiaoyan." As Shen Yi called out each name, the nightmare for the rest of the class began.
Because of the pressure from Qian Gu Chen Ran, Wu Chang Kong and Shen Yi were extremely focused in the following competition.
In the end, apart from Gu Yue, Na'er, Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, and Tang Wulin who were still standing, everyone else collapsed to the ground and couldn't move.
The match between Qian Gu Chen Ran and Wu Chang Kong had given them a lot of confidence. But when they actually started fighting, they realized that Wu Chang Kong was not someone they could mess with at their current stage.
"Students, now that this practical lesson is over, go back and review it carefully. The next practical lesson will be at this time next week, and I hope to see progress from all of you. Of course, it's okay if you don't improve; it just means I might be a little bit harsher on you then."
Seeing the universe that Shen Yi had created with his fingertips, all the students in Class One let out a collective wail.
Shen Yi said with a smile
