"What... what's going on?" someone in the stands asked, recovering from the shock and speaking with difficulty.
In the Monster Academy area, five gazes simultaneously turned towards Long Yue, who sat in the center.
He was known as the strongest in Monster Academy, the leader of the Eight Kings!
"Long Yue, what did you see?" Dai Yueyan, the Tiger King, asked in a deep voice.
He was not only the Fourth Prince of the Star Luo Empire but also one of the Eight Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy. With his noble status and extensive knowledge, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise at this moment.
Long Yue's expression was grim, and he slowly spoke, his voice carrying an unprecedented solemnity, "This Fang Yang from Shrek Academy, his strength is unfathomable."
Su Mu, the Fox King, took over, "That was a pure mental force burst."
"To be able to incapacitate Hua Lantang with just mental force, such mental force cultivation has probably reached the Ling Yuan Realm."
As the words Ling Yuan Realm came out, everyone gasped.
This meant that Fang Yang's mental force had reached at least five thousand points, a Realm many Spirit Masters dreamed of.
The clamor in the stands gradually subsided, replaced by an oppressive silence.
Everyone realized that what had happened in that instant was not some flashy Spirit Ability, but a pure mental force suppression.
On the VIP platform, Emperor Dai Tianling of the Star Luo Empire slightly narrowed his eyes, his fingers gently tapping the armrest.
He turned to the elder beside him, speaking respectfully, "Teacher, what do you think?"
En Ci, who was respectfully called Teacher, was a tall, slender elder.
His face was ancient and unadorned, with long white hair that flowed behind his head and over his shoulders. His eyes were exceptionally clear, forming a stark contrast with his aged face.
This was none other than the current Dean of Monster Academy, a legendary Imperial Advisor of the Star Luo Empire, the Saint Dragon Douluo En Ci, a Four-word Battle Armor Master, a ninety-eighth-level Super Douluo, an existence standing at the peak of the Star Luo Empire's Spirit Master's world.
"This child is terrifying!" En Ci's voice was calm, yet it made Dai Tianling's expression solemn.
Emperor Dai Tianling pondered for a moment, deep in thought, then lowered his voice, "Teacher, I have an idea..."
"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean."
En Ci interrupted him, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes, "For the future of the Star Luo Empire, I will persuade Long Yue..."
As the Teacher who had watched Dai Tianling grow up, how could En Ci not know the Emperor's thoughts at this moment?
He simply wanted to arrange a marriage between Dai Yuner and Fang Yang, to firmly tie this Genius to the Star Luo Empire's chariot.
However, this might cause hardship for his infatuated disciple, Long Yue.
But then again, that girl Yuner didn't seem to have any ill feelings towards Fang Yang, so if she herself wasn't willing, it wouldn't matter.
"Teacher, rest assured."
Dai Tianling solemnly promised, "I will choose a woman from the imperial family who is no less than Yuner to marry Long Yue; I will certainly not mistreat him."
"Hm."
En Ci nodded slightly, his gaze returning to the arena, lost in thought... The referee, after confirming that Hua Lantang had lost the ability to fight, loudly announced, "In this match, Shrek Academy's Fang Yang, wins!"
At this moment, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.
No one had expected this highly anticipated duel to end so cleanly and decisively.
What was even more shocking was that Fang Yang hadn't even released his Spirit from beginning to end.
Discussions began to buzz in the stands, and everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Yang, filled with shock, curiosity, and even a hint of awe.
"Who exactly is this Fang Yang?"
"As expected of Shrek Academy, it truly lives up to its reputation..."
"Monster Academy this time, I'm afraid they've met a true opponent."
Amidst the discussions, Fang Yang calmly returned to Shrek Academy's休息区.
Tang Wulin and the others immediately gathered around him, their faces filled with excitement and admiration.
"Fang Yang, you're too amazing!"
Xie Xie couldn't help but exclaim, "You didn't even use your Spirit and you took care of that Hua Lantang."
Fang Yang smiled slightly, his tone indifferent, "Just dealing with a mixed-blood little wolf, it's nothing worth mentioning."
"Mm-hm."
Gu Yue, Na'er, and Xu Xiaoyan nodded in unison, their expressions taking it for granted.
This understated response left Tang Wulin and the others looking at each other, unsure how to respond for a moment.
Hua Lantang was one of the Eight Kings in Monster Academy, with formidable strength, yet in Fang Yang's mouth, he became a mixed-blood little wolf.
If these words were to spread, it would surely drop countless jaws.
Xie Xie said with a wry smile, "Fang Yang, if the people from Monster Academy heard your evaluation, they'd probably be furious."
"But we need to be careful next."
Tang Wulin also recovered, his expression becoming a bit more serious, "Monster Academy will never let this go, especially that Long Yue..."
Just then, everyone felt a sharp gaze shoot from the opposite side.
Long Yue had stood up at some point, his tall figure particularly conspicuous in Monster Academy's休息区.
Although he didn't speak, his burning gaze said it all.
This contest was far from over.
Fang Yang, however, seemed completely oblivious, merely glancing indifferently in the opposite direction, "No need to overthink it."
His voice was calm, yet it carried a power that commanded belief.
Everyone nodded, their eyes becoming resolute.
In a corner of the stands, a young girl in a golden dress was staring intently in the direction of Shrek Academy.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with an unusual light; it was Princess Dai Yuner of the Star Luo Empire.
She whispered softly, "Fang Yang..."
Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum, yet it contained an inexpressible anticipation.
At the same time, in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda area of the Star Luo Grand Stadium.
"Young Master Qian Gu, we have found the Dragon Valley within the Star Luo Empire's borders," the accompanying middle-aged man reported respectfully.
"Hm, good," Qian Gu Zhang Ting nodded slightly, a hint of joy appearing on his face, "You may go now, but keep an eye on the Qian Family Lineage's movements. Report any unusual activity immediately."
"Yes, Young Master Qian Gu," the middle-aged man bowed and withdrew.
Qian Gu Zhang Ting's gaze deepened, "The legendary Dragon Valley..."
Not long ago, his great-grandfather Qian Gu Dieting successfully refined the Divine Artifact Soul-Snatching Tablet and obtained a fragmented God Position.
From the fragmented God Position memory shards, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda learned about the Dragon Valley.
The Dragon Valley was an independent Small World created by the Dragon God's divine soul after the ancient God Realm War, and it contained countless Dragon Clan skeletons.
The Dragon Clan skeletons could be transformed into countless Spirit Bones, which was undoubtedly an immeasurable fortune for the Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
"As long as we obtain the Dragon Clan Spirit Bones from the Dragon Valley, the strength of my Spirit Transfer Pagoda will surely reach another level."
A fervent gleam flashed in Qian Gu Zhang Ting's eyes, "By then, the entire Douluo Continent, Star Luo Continent, and Tian Ling Continent will belong to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda."
