Chapter 285: Title Level's Twenty-One Shura Illusions
Dugu Feng looked at Shinian in front of him.
Though Shinian was not yet seventy, he looked very old—white hair and deep wrinkles—unlike a high-ranking Soul Master.
Dugu Feng had seen Yang Wudi and Bai He, who both looked ruddy and vigorous despite their age.
But Shinian looked like an ordinary man.
He was someone who had climbed from the bottom and endured many hardships.
Dugu Feng did not underestimate Shinian; such a man's potential would explode higher than people like Titan once given a chance.
With a wrist motion, Dugu Feng had the Jade Dragon Snake absorb a spirit pill.
Another pill returned before Shinian.
"Dean Shinian, take it!"
Shinian quickly caught the pill, threw it into his mouth, and swallowed.
Suddenly, he felt the pill's temperature was unusual.
It was like a heat flow, warming his throat.
"Sit cross-legged and circulate your soul power. This pearl benefits your cultivation, refining your soul power and reshaping your body!"
Dugu Feng decided to give Shinian some advantages.
Overjoyed, Shinian's Martial Soul joined his body as he released soul power.
He did not doubt Dugu Feng's words.
Originally there was only one pill, now two—he couldn't understand the miraculous change.
The warmth flowed out of the pill, merging into his limbs along the meridians.
It felt like breaking through a realm: extremely pleasant.
At last, Shinian's spirit sensed the pill's presence.
The pill glowed jade green in his lower dantian, shining brilliantly.
This was what Dugu Feng wanted him to see—to aid his cultivation.
Then the pill began to pull.
Shinian's huge soul power surged like a flood, flowing into the pill—a black hole.
But the pill wasn't one-way.
Soul power entered, while heat flowed out, nourishing his whole body.
Shinian trained with all his strength, providing soul power to the pill.
This lasted for half an hour.
He felt as if he had been cleansed and rejuvenated, his body filled with power, as if twenty years old again.
His physical strength soared, and the soul power emitted from the pill became far more refined than before.
He was amazed.
What kind of treasure was this?
Reaching Soul Douluo, improving soul power level depended more on quality than quantity.
He felt this pill's help was worth at least a year of cultivation.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Grateful for his choice, Shinian saw the path to Title Douluo was near.
"Rise. My expectations for the Ultimate Academy rest mainly on you, understand?" Dugu Feng said coldly.
"Yes, Young Master. I will assist each section in developing suitable fusion skills.
My deepest study is gemstone Martial Souls and Shura Illusion fusion skills.
I'm confident that within a year, centered on me, the Shura Illusion can reach Title Douluo-level power!"
This was what Shinian had been working on recently.
During the Soul Master Competition, Zhang Jingyang's seven Soul Elders and Soul Lords performed the Seven Shura Illusions—a power close to the Soul Emperor level.
If centered on Shinian, how mighty could the Seven Shura Illusions be?
The problem: only Shinian was a Soul Saint-level gemstone Martial Soul expert.
Two of the seven warriors at the competition promoted to Soul Kings.
But their strength was still too weak compared to Shinian's Soul Douluo level, limiting fusion power.
"Young Master, there are few high-rank Soul Masters with illusion control skills, but we can increase the fusion quantity.
After five years, the Gemstone Academy has many gemstone Soul Masters below Soul King level. Though none have become strong yet,
their numbers can make up for quality gaps.
The Fourteen Shura Illusions have been practiced well, and the Twenty-One Shura Illusions are being attempted.
According to my prediction, with me at the core, the Twenty-One Shura Illusions can trap Title Douluos in illusions, unable to escape!"
Dugu Feng smiled at the thought.
That would be like gaining a Title Douluo's power.
Plus, as gemstone Soul Masters' soul power levels rise, the Shura Illusions would grow exponentially stronger.
This was a hidden trump card for the Dugu family.
The more Dugu Feng looked at Shinian, the more he saw him as a treasure Soul Master.
Dugu Feng walked over and patted his shoulder, "Keep working hard. I won't treat you unfairly."
After speaking, Dugu Feng left the room.
Having handled business with Shinian, Dugu Feng found Ning Rongrong and strolled around the Ultimate Academy a while before departing.
They quickly came to a familiar place: Blue Tyrant Academy, also Shrek Academy.
Liu Erlong and her father Yu Luomian had joined Spirit Hall, bringing their clansmen.
This had become Flandre's territory.
Walking through campus, Dugu Feng felt the academy had grown more complete over the years.
Many students filled the place.
Five years ago, the breakout of the Shrek Seven Devils on the Tiandou stage made the academy famous.
Flandre had seized the opportunity to develop it well.
The sun shone brightly; no cloud marred the sky.
Ning Rongrong was excited.
She was about to meet the Shrek Seven Devils and full of anticipation.
"In a blink, five years have passed. I wonder how Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu have become!" Ning Rongrong said.
Dugu Feng wanted to say he'd met Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu more than a year ago.
Now, with over a year passed, they should have cultivated to Soul Emperor by now!
Upon reaching the edge of the central forest at Shrek Academy, two girls stood ahead.
One was cold-faced and stunning—beautiful curves contrasting with the icy look.
The other wore a pink long dress, forearms exposed, snow-white skin showing.
Though not as perfect a figure as the colder girl, she had an extraordinary allure as well.
"Zhuqing, Xiao Wu!"
Ning Rongrong's big beautiful eyes sparkled as she rushed forward excitedly.
"Rongrong, your style has changed so much, I nearly didn't recognize you!" Xiao Wu exclaimed, grabbing Ning Rongrong's hand.
Ning Rongrong now wore a shawl; her mature charm was no longer that of a girl.
"You two still look the same—haven't changed at all!
No, if I must say, you both have changed—for the bigger!"
Saying so, Ning Rongrong stared mischievously at Zhu Zhuqing's chest.
She felt a little jealous.
It was already big and still growing.
And beside her, Xiao Wu's maturity, lacking before, was now clearly evident.
Ning Rongrong felt quite upset.
