Chapter 136 Erlong, is that you!?
🕑 Added 2024-04-20 19:28:10 +0000 UTCAs the dean arrived at the back mountain of the Academy.
Grandmaster felt increasingly uneasy.
Arriving at the back mountain, a melodious song came, and Grandmaster suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Flender reached out and grabbed Grandmaster's shoulder, keeping him in place to prevent him from turning and fleeing.
At this moment, Grandmaster was in tears, his eyes filled with struggle, his expression painful.
"Xiaogang, how long are you going to keep running away!" Flender shouted, "Moreover, Xiaogang, you led us here this time, what will we do if you leave?"
Grandmaster was pressed on by Flender, step by step moving forward. Beside a small lake, there was a crude thatched cottage, blending with the surroundings.
Around the cottage was another circle of fences, planted with various flowers. Among the flowers stood a woman, holding a watering can and watering them.
Feeling someone approaching, she turned her gaze towards Shrek's group coming.
Her gaze settled on Grandmaster.
"Xiaogang, is that you?" she murmured.
Even though she had anticipated it, the moment of meeting still felt somewhat surreal to her.
"Erlong, why is it you?" Grandmaster spoke with difficulty.
Liu Erlong remembered her agreement with her father and restrained her emotions.
Facing Grandmaster's question, she tried to remain as calm as possible: "What, can't I open an Academy?"
Even so, tears still welled up in her eyes as she couldn't help but look at the person in front of her.
"Erlong, let's discuss the matter at hand first," Flender coughed twice to shift everyone's attention.
This time, Shrek's integration into Blue Tyrant Academy had been explained in the letter from Yu Yuanzhen to Flender, and Flender was also aware that Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had already done their best. If Liu Erlong became emotionally agitated and violated the agreement, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan might have to take strong measures to separate the two again.
"This time, we, Shrek, are merging into Blue Tyrant Academy. Xiaosan and the others will represent the Academy in the Spirit Master Competition."
Liu Erlong composed herself, then turned assertive.
"Boss Flender, since you've come to my Academy, based on our relationship, isn't my Academy yours too? Blue Tyrant Academy has no connection to the clan; it's entirely up to me. From now on, you're the Dean of our Academy. I'll also instruct that from tomorrow, our Academy will be renamed Shrek Academy."
From a resentful woman waiting for her lover to a sharp, assertive female powerhouse, the transformation was like night and day, leaving Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and others dumbfounded.
...
Time passed.
The bottleneck of level fifty is still difficult to break through.
Su Wen used to be able to advance one level in just over three months, but now, at level forty-nine, he hasn't budged.
After returning to Heaven Dou City, it has been five months, and it's been six months since Su Wen broke through level forty-nine.
In the span of six months, members of the Emperor Fighting Team have been making breakthroughs one after another. Osler and Yu Feng reached level thirty-eight, Ye Lingling reached level thirty-seven, and Shi brothers consecutively reached level thirty-nine.
Yu Tianheng, in the meantime, obtained Dugu Bo's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and broke through level forty. Following the family's arrangements, he went to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain the Fourth Spirit Ring. Upon his return, his Soul Power directly reached level forty-four.
"Xiaowen, if you don't break through soon, I'll go ahead and hunt Spirit Rings for Yan'er."
After waiting for five months post-breakthrough, although Dugu Yan has become more proficient in the Spirit Ascension Method during this time, the cost-effectiveness has started to decline.
Not only has Dugu Yan waited for Su Wen for five months, but Ning Rongrong has also done the same. Ning Fengzhi also inquired with Su Wen whether Ning Rongrong should wait for him to hunt Spirit Rings together.
Xiao Zhan, on the other hand, remained calm.
"Grandpa Dugu, level fifty is a major bottleneck. Isn't it normal for me to break through slowly?" Su Wen felt helpless about being stuck for six months this time.
Is this the price of breaking through too quickly?
Sigh, it took half a year just to break through.
Su Wen circulated his Soul Power within his body, breaking through an invisible barrier. The fluctuation of Soul Power became intense, rising and falling before finally stabilizing at a certain level.
"You broke through?" Dugu Bo was extremely surprised.
"It was bound to happen." Su Wen smiled, but he didn't seem overly excited, indicating he had anticipated it.
"Phew," it's unclear whether Dugu Bo was relieved or adjusting his own emotions.
"Grandpa Dugu, I'm going to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Our target this time is the Void Silver Moon Tapir." Su Wen said.
"Okay."
...
"Uncle Ning, I've broken through. We can head to Evil Spirit Island now," Su Wen said to Ning Fengzhi upon arriving at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"At level fifty..." Feeling the fluctuation of Su Wen's Soul Power, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but be moved.
It's too heaven-defying.
Su Wen could find some special examples to rival his combat power, not to mention being heaven-defying, but his cultivation speed is truly heaven-defying.
If Su Wen knew what Ning Fengzhi was thinking, he would surely silently refute it.
Because in these five months, although he was stuck at level forty-nine, it's not like he didn't gain anything.
Firstly, there was further development in the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind, as well as insights into many Spirit Skills.
Secondly, through the development of the Ring Replacement Method, his understanding of the Martial Spirit essence and Spirit Ring essence became deeper. He further developed the First Spirit Skill. Combined with the many bonuses from feeling Replication from various Martial Spirits, he also completed the Book Martial Spirit's bonus to himself.
The book encompasses all things.
The most superficial result is that Su Wen has developed the Book Martial Spirit's Enhancement for Spiritual Power. On a deeper level, Su Wen has developed a new state that allows him to mobilize various means simultaneously in combat.
One book, one world; one page, one heaven and earth.
Now, Su Wen has initially developed this secret technique that belongs to him.
Fire Demon Style? Melee mage? They have become a thing of the past.
"This time, the target you're hunting is the Void Silver Moon Tapir with spatial attributes. Its concealment and survival skills are quite tricky. Uncle Bone possesses the power to shuttle through space, which makes it more convenient to deal with," Ning Fengzhi said.
Sword Douluo might be stronger, but facing the Void Silver Moon Tapir, a Spirit Beast of fourty thousand years old, Bone Douluo is indeed more suitable.
Su Wen nodded and followed Ning Fengzhi's arrangement.
"Uncle Ning, let Rongrong come with us this time too. There's a primitive Spirit Beast forest on Evil Spirit Island, where she should find a suitable Spirit Ring," Su Wen suggested.
Ning Fengzhi nodded, saying, "That's what both of us were thinking."
This time, besides Bone Douluo. Poison Douluo, a Titled Douluo, is also accompanying them, so safety is naturally guaranteed.
Moreover, it seems that Xiao Zhan also intends to go along.
This lineup is even stronger than what he could arrange for Ning Rongrong alone.
"Grandpa Bone, I'll leave it to you this time," Su Wen respectfully said to Gu Rong behind Ning Fengzhi.
At this moment, Gu Rong glanced sideways at Chen Xin.
That glance conveyed everything to Chen Xin, with whom he had been fighting for half a lifetime.
You see, this time, I'll personally go to hunt for Rongrong's third Spirit Ring. What's the use of your Seven Kill Sword against a spatial attribute Spirit Beast?
