The dark purple and purple-gold airflow formed by the right leg bone of the Thunder Hell Vine is constantly flowing in Xu Zihuang's right leg. Waves of thunder light linger on it, and Xu Zihuang's own aura is also gradually rising.
Only when he begins to fuse with this soul bone can he truly feel the majestic thunder attribute energy and soul power contained in it.
As a twin martial soul and the owner of an ultimate martial soul, his soul power quality is already extremely high, but under the influence of the energy transformed from this soul bone, his soul power quality has a tendency to faintly improve.
This soul bone is more about improving the quality of his soul power and enhancing his physical fitness in all aspects, including bone density, meridian toughness and muscle strength. It is said to have the effect of cleansing the essence and marrow and reborn.
No exaggeration.
It's just because he was born with full soul power, and he used various top-notch materials and earthly treasures to enhance his foundation and cleanse his body of impurities since he was a child, that this change is not very obvious.
If it were a soul master like Huo Yuhao, who had only one level of innate soul power and ridiculously poor physical talent, to fuse this soul bone, his future cultivation path would definitely be smooth sailing.
Not to mention cultivating to the level of Titled Douluo, but it was enough to change his talent, making it possible for him to break through to Soul Saint and become a high-level Soul Master.
This is one of the main reasons why top-level soul bones are so sought after by soul masters. A top-level soul bone means that a powerful soul master can be easily created.
Of course, this is just a hypothesis. With Huo Yuhao's martial spirit, talent and physical fitness, it is impossible to successfully fuse this top-level soul bone.
When Xu Zihuang was merging with this soul bone, time in the outside world was also passing rapidly.
However, he felt as if only a moment had passed before he slowly woke up with a strange feeling of strength and coolness in his right leg.
Thunder Hell Vine is an existence that deserves to stand at the pinnacle of plant-type soul beasts. Although they look like bamboo shoots when they first grow, in fact, when they really grow up, they will be in the form of vines similar to the Blue Silver Emperor.
Not only do they control violent thunder-attributed power, but they also possess innate soul skills with terrifying destructive power. Their strength and toughness are equally astonishing.
Moreover, after successfully integrating with the right leg bone of the Thunder Hell Vine, Xu Zihuang felt a strange sense of enlightenment in his heart.
This feeling was like knowing the soul skills he had acquired after merging the soul ring, and the soul skills given to him by this soul bone were also deeply engraved in his mind.
Moreover, this right leg bone of the Thunder Hell Vine, which was produced with a cultivation level of 50,000 years, was raised to the 60,000-year level in one fell swoop under the nourishment of his ultimate thunder soul power.
This evolution will continue.
What Princess Jiujiu said at the auction was not false.
After feeling these, Xu Zihuang opened his eyes. The clear deep purple eyes seemed to have become deeper, and a flash of purple brilliance disappeared in an instant.
At this time, in VIP Room No. 7, apart from him, only Ning Tian was sitting opposite him, and their eyes happened to meet.
As if he guessed the question in Xu Zihuang's heart, Ning Tian, who was sitting upright with his knees together, explained softly.
"The four enshrined Douluo from the Star Luo Empire saw that the fusion between you and that soul bone had come to an end, so they left first. Teacher Wang went to Senior Gongyang. Senior Gongyang is an auxiliary soul master.
, it is relatively difficult to fuse a 20,000-year-old soul ring. After Teacher Wang asked you to fuse the soul bones, you and I will return directly to the Star King Hotel. He said that after Senior Gongyang has the sixth soul skill to increase defense power,
There may be some changes to previously discussed tactics."
Xu Zihuang stood up from the sofa and nodded to Ning Tian with a smile. Being down-to-earth, he felt the changes in his body more clearly.
His whole body seemed to have lost weight. With a little effort in his right leg, he felt like he was about to fly. With the current strength of his right leg, it will definitely be able to better combine with his third soul skill Time Chaos to enhance
Melee combat ability.
And the soul skill given to him by this soul bone is indeed, as Princess Jiujiu said, it is Thunder Hell among the three innate soul skills of the Thunder Hell Vine, a field-based soul skill with extremely wide coverage and terrifying power.
"How long have I been practicing?"
"Nearly four hours have passed since you fused this soul bone. It should be half an hour before dawn. Congratulations, Tianhuang. It seems that this soul bone fits you very well." Ning Tian put his hands together.
Standing up while holding her skirt, she smiled innocently.
Her aqua blue eyes were filled with brilliance. She was completely happy for Xu Zihuang from the bottom of her heart, without any pretense.
Xu Zihuang walked up to Ning Tian, held Ning Tian's soft and white jade hand with a sincere expression, and solemnly thanked her again.
"Thanks."
Ning Tian paid 55 million gold soul coins for himself to purchase soul bones, and it would be unreasonable not to give him any response. Ning Tian's identity and the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect behind it can give him enough benefits at this stage.
There is no need to keep hanging on to Ning Tian.
But the most important thing was that he felt a sense of urgency from the actions of the top management of Shrek Academy in bringing him and Ma Xiaotao together some time ago.
Not wanting to develop further with Ma Xiaotao and being completely tied up in Shrek Academy is just one of the reasons. The other is that he actually doesn't like Ma Xiaotao's character. Compared to Ma Xiaotao, he prefers to choose general knowledge and understanding of propriety.
of Ningtian.
Although he is pretending to be a different personality now, the arrogance in his heart has always existed.
Ask him to obey Ma Xiaotao's temper. He can do it with force, but it is not necessary.
If he hadn't wanted to leave a good impression on the senior management of Shrek Academy, he wouldn't have endured being bossed around by Ma Xiaotao in such an unquestionable tone.
He has no tendency to be a bitch.
Ning Tian's body visibly trembled when Xu Zihuang held her right hand. The warmth in her hand and the refreshing breath emanating from Xu Zihuang's body in front of her made her instinctively feel a little shy.
In the more than a year of contact with Xu Zihuang, although she was very proactive, there were only a few times when the two of them had such intimate behavior.
The first time was after the competition between the main players and the reserve team, Xu Zihuang took her to the infirmary. The second time was the encounter with the evil soul master not long ago, and he escaped with her in his arms.
The poisonous blood produced by the corpse explosion is now the third time.
And this time, the meaning is clearer.
There is no need to express your feelings deliberately, everything will happen naturally.
This is also the most appropriate way for men and women to get along.
"Yeah." Ning Tian responded softly subconsciously. The strangeness in her body, the shyness in her heart, and various tastes echoed in her heart, making all the thoughts in her mind seem to have stopped.
It wasn't until Xu Zihuang pulled her out of the Starlight Auction House and a gust of cold wind blew in that she came back to her senses.
When Xu Zihuang left with Ning Tian, Qingya, who was waiting at the door of VIP Room No. 7, also noticed the two of them, but seeing the two of them so close, she would definitely not step forward and disturb them without knowing the occasion. She just watched respectfully.
The two of them left.
It's still some time before dawn, and the entire towering Xingluo City is shrouded in darkness. Dots of soul-guided street lamps dot it, giving it a hazy beauty.
The two of them walked all the way towards the Star Emperor Hotel, and the hands they held turned into interlocking fingers at some point.
Despite being shy, a little affection and joy spread in her heart.
Xu Zihuang looked at Ning Tian with gentle eyes, but his mood was always calm.
In fact, the Golden Boy's martial spirit brought him not only the martial soul instinct of dynamic vision, but perhaps because it was a spiritual martial spirit, it also allowed him to better control his emotions.
Facing an outstanding member of the opposite sex like Ning Tian, it is unrealistic to say that he has no thoughts at all. After all, he is a physically and mentally sound man. But it is not true that he has any deep feelings.
The reason for this result is that he can perfectly control his emotions. The other reason is that he has personally experienced such ups and downs, and is essentially a cold-blooded person.
The past life memories he awakened only related to the plot of the original work, and his character and mentality were all from this life.
The only son of a powerful prince suddenly suffered an accident, his whole family was wiped out, and he was exiled overseas to survive. Later, he was lucky enough to be rescued by his father's old subordinates, and he still possessed such a supreme talent.
The arrogance and indifference in his heart can be imagined. In order to seek revenge from Xu Tianran's family and realize his ambition, what if he gave up his feelings?
When the two returned to the Xinghuang Hotel, the Xingluo Plaza nearby was already crowded with people.
This continent-wide advanced soul master academy soul fighting competition has divided into the final sixteen. Every subsequent competition will be extremely exciting, and it is often hard to get a ticket. Many people will be like this when they get a glimpse of the show.
Arrive several hours in advance and start queuing late at night.
However, because there are thousands of soldiers maintaining order, the crowding in Xingluo Square will not affect the Star Emperor Hotel.
In the Star Emperor Hotel, every room has no lights on, and the participating students staying in them should all be immersed in cultivation.
Only the spacious and luxurious hall on the first floor and the restaurants on both sides of the top floor dedicated to Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy respectively still emitted bright and soft lights.
Daybreak was about to break in less than half an hour. Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian did not return to their rooms to practice. Instead, they came to the end of the corridor, to the restaurant built entirely with crystal as the main body.
The restaurant provides a variety of food and drinks 24 hours a day. This is a privilege exclusive to Shrek Academy and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the champions and runners-up of the last continental advanced soul master academy fighting competition.
At this time, Ning Tian returned to his previous dignified appearance. He ordered a pot of fragrant black tea and some pastries according to Xu Zihuang's taste. The two chatted while overlooking the Xingluo City that was gradually reviving in the night through the crystal wall.
.
During the more than a year of study and life at Shrek Academy, the two met basically every day. The main body of their relationship is actually memory and recall. After experiencing too much together, there will never be a lack of topics to talk about.
Xu Zihuang took the fragrant black tea that Ning Tian pushed from the crystal table, and felt lost in his heart. This scene reminded him of the life he had been imprisoned on the island four years ago.
At that time, he also liked to sit alone in his room every day, drinking black tea and looking at the outside scenery through the window edge of the castle.
It's just that his current situation is completely different from four years ago.
"Tianhuang, what's wrong?" Ning Tian, who was sitting on the same soft sofa as Xu Zihuang, looked sideways at Xu Zihuang and asked softly.
"Nothing." Xu Zihuang shook his head and continued Ning Tian's previous topic.
"No wonder Wu Feng showed such strong hostility to me back then. It turns out he grew up with you."
"Fengmei's family has been serving our Nine Treasure Glazed Sect Master for generations since three thousand years ago. We have been sisters since childhood." Ning Tian explained, and then his voice changed.
"When the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is over and I return to the academy, I will personally explain our relationship to Feng Mei, and she will understand."
She will indeed explain it to Wu Feng as she said now, but if Wu Feng doesn't listen and shows hostility towards Yu Tianhuang like he did at the beginning, then she can only let Wu Feng drop out of Shrek Academy.
, returned to the sect.
This was a decision she had thought about a long time ago. As a sister and subordinate, Wu Feng could always stay in their Nine Treasure Glazed Sect even if he dropped out of Shrek Academy. But Yu Tianhuang was different. With this
With such an astonishing talent, many outstanding women will definitely take the initiative to support him in the future. Even now, she does not have the absolute confidence to stay by his side forever.
While the two were talking, a bright golden sun shone out from the eastern horizon, covering the entire Xingluo City with a golden light.
The bright golden light was also reflected in their eyes, and the gorgeous halo of light reflected on the crystal walls of the restaurant.
The originally ambiguous atmosphere was heightened by the magnificent scene in front of me.
At this moment, a series of footsteps suddenly came from the corridor at the entrance of the restaurant from far to near.
A group of people walked in one after another.
Standing at the front is Wang Yan, followed by Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng and Gong Yangmo who has just integrated the sixth soul ring and officially advanced to the Soul Emperor. As for the last one, there are the other five from the reserve team.
people.
Xu Sanshi looked at Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian who were getting intimate.
"Tianhuang, Senior Sister Ning, you are so excited."
"It's a pity that someone wants to be interested, but no one is with him." Beibei smiled slightly, and still liked to make trouble for Xu Sanshi as always.
The smile on Xu Sanshi's face suddenly solidified. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Wang Yan led everyone towards Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian with a relaxed smile.
"The sixteen-to-eight competition with Star Luo Royal Academy is about to begin. This is the knockout round. Star Luo Royal Academy will definitely go all out. Don't slack off, everyone. This time Gong Yangmo successfully advanced to Soul Emperor
, it has greatly improved the overall strength of our team, and provided us with more choices. Taking advantage of having breakfast, I will explain to you some changes in tactics."
"There are no big changes specifically. It's still the same as discussed yesterday. First, Sanshi, you will use your fourth soul skill Xuanming Substitution to replace the two control-type soul masters on the opposite side. Then Xiaotao, Chen Zifeng, Beibei, Sanshi
, Tianhuang, you guys work together to deal with these two control soul masters first. Dai Yaoheng, Sanshi and others will use Xuan Ming Substitution for the second time to switch you to the center of the opposite lineup. Your task is to temporarily block the opponent's attack.
The other five people, including you, Xiaotao, and Dai Yueheng, you are the two strongest individuals in our team. I hope you retain your strength as much as possible, and you must not let the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy know in advance what your strength is.
Strong attack methods. Don’t forget that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy representative team is our final opponent.”
This is the result of Wang Yan's careful consideration. Because Yu Tianhuang's personal strength is too strong, Xu Sanshi's fourth soul skill, which can be called a divine skill, has never been used in this continental advanced soul master academy soul fighting competition.
.
If this soul skill is used well, it will definitely have unexpected effects. It is better for Xu Sanshi, a four-ring soul sect, to reveal the soul skill than to let Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng reveal their strength in advance.
The overall strength of Xingluo Royal Soul Master Academy ranks among the top five among all participating teams in this continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. As long as we win this game, it will be much easier in the future.
If not, Wang Yan would have wanted Xu Sanshi to hide this soul skill until the competition with the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy before using it.
Seeing the disdain in Ma Xiaotao's eyes, Wang Yan couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Our Shrek Academy has always won the championship in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, but we have also become the loser.
.It can be said that we are the research object of every participating team. With the development of soul guidance devices, various tactics are now becoming more and more abundant. We must not use simple thinking to measure the opponent's strength as in the past. Especially
The representative team of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is the strongest in the past. There is no need to be careless. Don’t forget the consequences of being careless when you faced the Death Messenger bandit group."
Ma Xiaotao still glanced at Wang Yan unconvinced, but in the end she didn't say anything. The others all looked at him with stern looks.
The terrifying corpse explosion ability of the leader of the Death Messenger bandits left a deep impression on everyone.
Xu Zihuang saw all the changes in Ma Xiaotao's facial expressions. Ma Xiaotao's character is indeed prone to bad things.
If he guessed correctly, I am afraid that after taking the stage, Ma Xiaotao would force Xu Sanshi to change his tactics and let Xu Sanshi and others replace him in the center of the Xingluo Royal Academy representative team's lineup.
Wang Yan didn't chatter any more. After breakfast, the group walked towards Xingluo Square and began to enter.
There were so many spectators in Xingluo Square today. It was almost crowded with people. Everywhere you looked, it was completely dark.
But the area in the players' rest area is obviously a lot cooler. There are more than a hundred participating colleges, and now only sixteen colleges are left. This is a normal thing. The sixteen remaining teams are all today's
Representative of the strongest soul master academy on the mainland.
The sixteen-to-eight competition is divided into team battles and individual knockout matches, which are held one day apart. There are four games every day and will last for four days in total.
In the players' rest area, everyone found many familiar faces. For example, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy team and the Zhengtian Academy team.
Originally, the competition between the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was held in the afternoon, but they still came in the morning, no doubt to pay attention to how Shrek Academy would fare against the powerful Star Luo Royal Soul Engineer Academy today.
Seeing Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng making their first appearance, Xiao Hongchen and Ma Rulong not only narrowed their eyes. They both felt an indescribable sense of threat from the two of them. Especially Ma Xiaotao, who had been so successful in the previous session.
They have never appeared as a reserve team in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.
But Meng Hongchen's eyes kept falling on Xu Zihuang, but her current mood was not good.
Although Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian did not make any intimate moves under the gaze of everyone, due to a woman's intuition, she was keenly aware of some subtle changes between the two.
As the game time approaches, the atmosphere among the audience becomes more and more lively.
"Sixteens advance to eight, the first match. Shrek Academy versus Star Luo Royal Academy. Please go to the waiting area and get ready."
The referee's announcement immediately caused the cheers on the scene to get louder and louder. The atmosphere was instantly detonated.
One is Shrek Academy, which is known as the number one academy in the mainland, and the other is the Star Luo Royal Academy, the strongest in the Star Luo Empire.
How could they not be looking forward to such an exciting and intense game?
The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei, arrived at the Imperial City early. He would definitely be present at any game where Shrek Academy plays.
But standing at the top of the imperial city was not only Xu Jiawei, but also Princess Jiujiu, Her Royal Highness Jiujiujiu.
Xu Jiujiu put on a heroic yellow outfit today, which was the school uniform of Xingluo Royal Academy. Her long golden hair was tied into a ponytail, making her look neat and tidy, with a faint smile on her pretty face.
A pair of beautiful blue eyes are filled with a strong fighting spirit.
"Brother, I'm going to prepare first."
With all the civil and military officials bowing their heads in salute, Xu Jiujiu turned around and left the imperial city.
Although Shrek Academy is powerful, she also has her own confidence.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei, showed a strong look of expectation in his eyes as he looked condescendingly at everyone at Shrek Academy, or more accurately, at Xu Zihuang.
"On the mainland, I'm afraid many people have long forgotten the Star Crown Martial Spirit inherited by our Xu family. I hope you can bring me some more surprises."
Today, Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu told him a hypothesis about Yu Tianhuang's second martial soul attribute ability. If this hypothesis is true, then this young man will be worth their Xingluo Empire's efforts to win over at all costs.
On the other side, under the leadership of Wang Yan, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, Gong Yangmo, Xu Zihuang, Beibei and Xu Sanshi followed him into the waiting area.
On the other side of the competition stage, in the waiting area, the Xingluo Royal Academy team only had six participating students and one leading teacher.
Just when everyone was confused, Xu Jiujiu, wearing a yellow outfit, walked over from a short distance away.
Seeing Her Royal Highness the Princess, not only everyone at Shrek Academy was surprised, most of the participating college teams present also had their eyes widened. Because they all participated in that top auction.
But looking at the uniform of Xingluo Royal Academy that Xu Jiujiu was wearing, the surprise in everyone's eyes couldn't help but become a little more surprising.
