Chapter 60: You're using me as a bargaining chip to threaten Erming? Well, I'll play along!
In the blink of an eye, seven spirit rings suddenly rose from beneath Zhao Wujie's feet!
Two yellow rings, two purple rings, three black rings—a Seven-Ring Soul Saint!
The first spirit ring lit up!
The fourth spirit ring lit up!
The seventh spirit ring lit up!
First Soul Skill - Immovable King Body! A layer of dark golden light appeared on the surface of his body, greatly increasing his defensive power!
Seventh Soul Skill – Spirit True Body! Zhao Wujie transformed into a Mighty Vajra Bear, his body instantly expanding, his muscles bulging, and his strength surging!
The fourth spirit ring flew out from beneath his feet, transforming into a dark golden light that shot towards the Titan Giant Ape!
But strangely, the beam of light didn't strike the Titan Ape's massive body; instead, it veered off course—
It flew straight toward Ye Tianchen, who was sitting on its shoulder!
"Buzz!"
A dark golden halo landed steadily on Ye Tianchen, enveloping him completely!
Fourth Soul Skill - Location Tracking!
He won!
A look of wild joy flashed in Zhao Wujie's eyes!
With this young man by their side, the Titan Ape dared not act rashly!
However, to his surprise, the boy enveloped in the halo showed no panic on his face; instead, a hint of...
A faint smile?
The smile was light and faint, yet it inexplicably stirred a sense of unease in Zhao Wujie's heart.
Ye Tianchen looked down at the dark golden halo around him, and his smile deepened.
"interesting."
He said softly.
"Are you using me as a bargaining chip to threaten Erming?"
He raised his head and looked at Zhao Wujie, his gaze calm as still water.
"In that case, I will test the size of Fudo Myoo."
He raised his hand and gently patted the Titan Ape beneath him.
"Erming, don't rush, let me play with him for a while."
The Titan Ape had already raised the stone pillar, intending to smash this human who dared to attack the Tianchen brothers into a pulp.
Upon hearing Ye Tianchen's words, it paused for a moment, then scratched its head and put away the stone pillar.
"Alright, Brother Tianchen, be careful. This guy may not be anything special, but he's still a Soul Saint."
As it spoke, it actually took a few steps back, plopped down on the ground, and looked like it was watching a good show.
Zhao Wujie: "..."
Shrek Academy students: "....."
What's going on?
This kid... wants to challenge Teacher Zhao to a one-on-one fight?!
A four-ring Soul Master challenging a seven-ring Soul Saint?
Has he gone mad?!
Xiao Wu stood in the crowd, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
She thought of Ye Tianchen's first spirit ring. Once it was exposed, the only option left would be to kill everyone present.
However, Ye Tianchen was not a reckless person, and the fact that Erming did not intervene meant that the other party had a way to conceal his 100,000-year soul ring.
With this in mind, Xiao Wu suppressed her emotions and chose to wait and see.
Ning Rongrong's worries were no less than Xiao Wu's. After all, when she and Ye Tianchen separated, he was still someone who didn't even have a soul ring.
The last news she heard about Ye Tianchen was three months ago, from Sword Douluo.
Although Ning Rongrong was quite surprised that Ye Tianchen had advanced from a three-ring Soul Master to a four-ring Soul Sect in just three months, she did not believe that Ye Tianchen could defeat Zhao Wujie.
This difference wasn't just about a gap of over thirty levels in soul power; more importantly, Zhao Wujie was three ten-thousand-year soul rings ahead of Ye Tianchen.
Moreover, Zhao Wujie also possessed a Spirit True Body. The difference between having and not having a Spirit True Body was no less than the difference between heaven and earth.
However, like Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong chose to wait and see.
As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was confident that she could protect Ye Tianchen from Zhao Wujie.
Just then, Ye Tianchen made a move.
He slowly rose from the Titan Ape's shoulder, and four spirit rings slowly rose beneath his feet.
Yellow.
Purple.
Purple.
Black.
The Shrek Academy members were completely stunned when the fourth black spirit ring appeared!
Black!
A ten-thousand-year soul ring!
A four-ring Soul Master possessing a ten-thousand-year soul ring?!
Dai Mubai felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his mind went completely blank.
He considered himself a genius, with a soul power level of 37 at the age of fifteen. But the boy in front of him was not only younger than him and had a higher soul power level, but his soul ring configuration was also far superior to that of this self-proclaimed genius!
Although he was confident that he could break through to the Soul Master level before the age of eighteen, he could not absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring at level forty!
Even the usually composed Tang San could not maintain his composure at this moment.
As Yu Xiaogang's disciple, he clearly understood the limit of a Soul Master's ability to absorb soul rings. The other party's soul ring configuration clearly did not conform to his teacher's theory, which made him doubt Yu Xiaogang's treasured theory for the first time in his life.
The color... has changed?
No wonder he dared to expose his spirit rings; he had already found a way to deal with it.
Xiao Wu stared intently at the spirit ring configuration at Ye Tianchen's feet, and her previously anxious heart finally settled down.
Although it was unknown what method Ye Tianchen used, at least this kind of soul ring configuration would not arouse the covetousness of soul masters.
Two purple and one black? Wait, didn't that little rabbit who loves carrots sacrifice a 100,000-year-old soul beast? He also sacrificed a mutated earth dragon turtle of about 60,000 years. How come Tianchen's soul ring configuration is like this, and its appearance has changed too? Could it be... the effect of the soul bone?
A flash of insight struck Ning Rongrong, and she suddenly understood.
However, among everyone present, one person had the most complex emotions.
Zhao Wujie.
When he saw the four spirit rings, his pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.
Yellow, purple, purple, black.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, a four-ring Soul Master, with his fourth soul ring lasting ten thousand years.
What did that mean?
It meant that this young man's talent had surpassed 99% of the geniuses on the continent! It meant that, given time, he would definitely become a Titled Douluo, and may even challenge the legendary level 99 Limit Douluo!
And what's even more terrifying was...
He was about the same age as the Shrek Seven Devils.
Zhao Wujie's gaze swept over the children behind him—Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, Xiao Wu…
They were all geniuses. They were all monsters personally selected by Zhao Wujie.
But compared to this young man in front of him...
A deep chill ran through Zhao Wujie's heart.
He had taken in the expressions on Dai Mubai and the others' faces just now, and he realized that the existence of such a genius was itself a form of suppression against the Shrek Seven Devils.
An insurmountable suppression stemming from the level of talent.
As long as he was around, these children would forever live in his shadow.
At best, it would damage their confidence; at worst, it would lead to self-abandonment.
Neither of these situations was acceptable to Zhao Wujie.
Zhao Wujie's expression shifted between light and dark.
He knew that, as a teacher, he should be happy to have such a genius.
But as a teacher at Shrek Academy, as the guardian of these children...
A thought quietly arose in his mind.
