Chapter 820: Nine Suns Illuminate the Sky
After Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun lost their combat abilities, they fell off the chessboard and returned to their original forms.
Flander checked them and found that their internal organs were shaken, and their ribs were fractured. It would take at least half a year to recover, and his expression became extremely grim.
But Sun Ming was a peerless Douluo. What could he say?
He could only look at Yu Xiaogang with a resentful gaze.
At this time, Wu Youyou stood out, released her Blue Silver Grass martial soul, and her third purple spirit ring lit up. Clusters of blue light emerged from the tips of the Blue Silver Grass leaves and merged into the three people.
"Light of Healing."
In a blink of an eye, the three of them woke up, their injuries completely healed, except for their clothes being torn.
"My third spirit ring comes from a Blue Silver Grass about five thousand years old, as it grew in soil rich in vitality, and its leaves resemble cotton. Hence, the dean called it Blue Silver Cotton Grass, and it gave me a spirit skill to heal others." Wu Youyou withdrew her martial soul and introduced it to the Shrek people. "As long as the opponent is still breathing, they can be fully healed, and even severed limbs can regenerate."
Of course, there is a prerequisite, which is that Wu Youyou's soul power must be sufficient.
"Thank you." Flander expressed his gratitude.
Yu Xiaogang was no longer observing Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai guarding against Zhu Zhuqing on the chessboard. Instead, he focused on Wu Youyou, wanting to confirm: "Do you really only have one Blue Silver Grass martial soul?"
"Yes." Wu Youyou remained calm toward this Yu Xiaogang, considering the other party seemed a bit older.
"Are all your spirit rings from Blue Silver Grass?" Yu Xiaogang asked again.
"The first four are, but the fifth is not, as there aren't many ten-thousand-year-level Blue Silver Grass on the continent. Cultivating them myself requires considerable time." Wu Youyou replied concisely.
"Why choose Blue Silver Grass? You could clearly follow the control path." Since his disciple's martial soul was also Blue Silver Grass, he was quite puzzled by Wu Youyou's choice.
"This is the dean's Martial Soul Strengthening Theory. The Blue Silver Grass is inherently weak, and adding other non-plant spirit rings might yield a stronger attack skill, but in doing so, the evolution of the Blue Silver Grass itself would be extremely slow and might even err. Hence, choosing spirit rings of the same Blue Silver Grass is more suitable, as it can enhance the origin of the Blue Silver Grass and provide me with a potent auxiliary ability."
Wu Youyou explained lightly, "Although, in the initial stages, the Blue Silver Grass can only serve as support; later, it can incorporate spirit rings that offer me stronger capabilities. After all, after reaching Soul Sage, most soul masters don't use their first four spirit skills or don't need to."
"Therefore, in the dean's vision, before the Soul Sage stage, choosing spirit rings with high affinity to one's martial soul is sufficient."
"As for combat capability, it naturally requires focus on physical development."
"For instance, with my current self, without using martial souls or spirit skills, relying solely on my physical body, soul power, and the self-created soul skills taught by the dean, I can contend with strong attack-type Soul Emperors and even Soul Sages, with a significant probability of winning."
Sun Ming coughed twice and said, "What Youyou said is biased because, for the majority of soul masters on the continent, if the initial spirit rings don't have strong attack power and they don't possess self-created soul skills, survival becomes very difficult. However, the Martial Soul Strengthening Theory I introduced is still useful for those seeking breakthroughs in family martial souls or considering future goals after becoming a Titled Douluo."
"But I believe that when the future holds no wars and the continent leans towards peace, it will inevitably gravitate towards my theory."
"To be honest, I find it less proper that soul masters cultivate primarily for wealth, power, beauty, desire, revenge, etc. These can be by-products of cultivation, but they shouldn't become its goals."
Flander and the others were filled with respect, as if they understood why this academy was called 'Ming Lun.'
To let the world understand the true meaning of cultivation!
At this time, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Tang San were also knocked off the chessboard by Zhu Zhuqing. She herself reverted to her original form and walked to Dugu Yan's side, proudly saying, "Teacher, mission accomplished!"
"Not bad." Dugu Yan nodded with satisfaction, looking at Tang San and the others treated by Wu Youyou, a glint of amusement in her eyes.
Is this it?
They still dare to challenge?
"Now, state your answer: will you follow Ming Lun's arrangements, or do you want to stay together?" Sun Ming asked. "Previous statements from me, Er Long, and others were very clear: the six of you can't stay together forever."
Yu Xiaogang was full of reluctance, unsure of how to decide.
Tang San saw his hesitation and, after recovering, stepped forward, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed: "Your Excellency, we six freaks of Shrek are one, and we cannot be separated!"
Ma Hongjun was the first to agree: "That's right, we can't be separated!"
Xiao Wu said, "Exactly!"
Dai Mubai and Oscar also stood beside Tang San, indicating their support for him!
Despite understanding that joining Ming Lun, Dai Mubai might also gain strength like Zhu Zhuqing, he didn't know when it might happen. Hеlp us соntinuе by rеаding аt thе sоurсе: МV2LЕМРYR.
In Dai Mubai's understanding, Zhu Zhuqing was brought into Ming Lun by Wu Youyou, and Wu Youyou and Sun Ming seemed to have a quite close relationship. She would surely directly receive guidance from Sun Ming, not to mention she had a Soul Douluo as a teacher.
And after they joined, there's no guarantee they'd receive the same treatment... After all, Yu Xiaogang of Shrek indeed seemed somewhat excessive, and even if Sun Ming didn't mind, other teachers in the academy, upon hearing, might covertly suppress them.
Even though he also looked down on Yu Xiaogang, he was, however, Tang San's teacher. And the peculiar gadgets Tang San could make might lay the foundation for him to one day seize the throne of the Xingluo Empire.
Unfortunately, Dai Mubai didn't know that Ming Lun would research soul tools in the future and establish a corresponding academy...
Regarding their choices, Sun Ming expressed respect, but Ning Rongrong said, "Flander Dean, I plan to leave the academy and join Ming Lun."
This earth-shattering sentence left Flander stunned for a moment, and he asked, "Why?"
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others were also in disbelief.
They all choose not to join, and you join?
This is betrayal!
"Rongrong, you..." Oscar's eyes widened, and he became a bit at a loss.
"I originally intended to come here, but back then I was immature, and the academy hadn't arranged anything for me, so I voluntarily dropped out..."
As she spoke of this, Ning Rongrong blushed, "I thank Shrek Academy for changing my character a bit, but I'm the heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and must take on the responsibility for its future. By joining Ming Lun, I can become stronger."
Flander sighed and said, "Since this is the choice of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, then I have nothing more to say."
Whether it's Ming Lun or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, their Shrek Academy cannot afford to offend them.
Boom!
At this moment, a pillar of golden-red light shot straight into the sky, reaching a thousand meters high, and amidst the scorching heat, a graceful figure emerged.
It was Qian Renxue, who had just finished refining the elixir.
Her golden hair extended to her waist, fluffy and dazzling, with natural curls at the ends, moving without wind.
Behind her, three pairs of angel wings of varying lengths fluttered, gathering golden flames at her back, transforming into nine red suns that suddenly rose into the sky. They became nine small suns, each surpassing a hundred meters, complementing the real sun above, creating the vision of ten suns in the sky!
Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes, her golden pupils showcasing her holiness, with every expression seeming to merge with the natural world.
"How do you feel?" Bibi Dong asked.
"Very good, I've reached level eighty, and gained a self-created soul skill, which are those nine red suns behind me." As she spoke, Qian Renxue absorbed the nine suns into her body, saying joyfully, "I named it Nine Suns Shining Heaven. It can resonate with the real sun, similar to an augmentation skill, enhancing my strength ninefold in all aspects. According to my senses, this ninefold is absolute, meaning even if I reach level ninety-nine in the future, it won't weaken."
Hiss—
Everyone present, except for Sun Ming, was gasping in disbelief.
Ninefold at level ninety-nine!
Wouldn't that be akin to a god!
Dugu Bo murmured, "I suddenly feel my herbs were sold too cheaply."
Sun Ming said, "It's mainly because my alchemy methods are good, otherwise, if she ate it directly, it might have only given her martial soul an extra pair of wings, merely boosting her soul power slightly."
Hearing Sun Ming's voice, Qian Renxue chuckled lightly, "But my martial soul doesn't have an extra pair of wings now."
"What's an angel going to do with so many wings?" Sun Ming retorted, "Three pairs are just right. Any more, and it'll look inconsistent, like her body is covered in wings."
Qian Renxue pouted, unable to retort, and simply turned her gaze to Xiao Wu, "I need a spirit ring, and there's one here. Could you give it to me?"
This statement made everyone direct their gaze towards Xiao Wu.
But at that moment, a gigantic hammer covered the sky, slamming towards where Sun Ming stood.
The terrifying pressure made everyone on the Shrek side catch their breath.
Under that giant hammer, Tang Hao's nine spirit rings burst simultaneously, merging into the hammer, enhancing its formidable power, even making the air tremble.
He didn't aim to kill in one strike, only to take Tang San and Xiao Wu away.
The rest of the Shrek members...
It didn't matter if they died.
Hao Tian Douluo always kept an eye on his son, and knowing Tang San's relationship with Xiao Wu, he endured inner turmoil, as his son would undoubtedly protect Xiao Wu.
Now that Qian Renxue wanted the eighth spirit ring, she must be their enemy, and having already set her sights on Xiao Wu, he saw no reason to keep hiding.
With two peerless Douluos, Tang Hao felt confident he could hold them off for just a moment.
He only needed a moment to take Tang San and Xiao Wu away!
He had this confidence!
But—
"Hao Tian Douluo, isn't this a bit excessive?" Before the enemy secretly entered Ming Lun, Sun Ming was already aware of his presence, but thinking he was concerned about his son, he didn't pay much attention. Who knew he would suddenly jump out and launch such a near-suicidal attack.
Is he insane?
