610 – Nine Division Cauldron
TL : GoldenLung
Dozens of teachers from the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy stood at the side of the competition stage. Yao Lilin asked Nana, “Are these two children your students, Teacher Nana? Before entering Shrek Academy.”
“En.” Nana nodded. Other than Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, she didn’t like interacting with others.
Yao Lilin smiled. “A great master produces great disciples ! If Teacher Nana is willing, you can pick any student in our academy. If you have any requests, feel free to ask, the academy will do its best to satisfy them.”
When the teachers behind heard this, they couldn’t help but reveal looks of envy. But somehow they couldn’t feel jealous of Nana and this seemed to be a trait of Nana.
Nana glanced at Yao Lilin and shook her head. “We’ll see.”
Hearing that she didn’t reject him directly, Yao Lilin was already very satisfied. He smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll wait for your news anytime.”
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu had already climbed onto the competition stage and arrived at the center of the stage. Sensing the soul power fluctuations around him, he immediately understood that the defensive barrier’s strength in this competition stage was extremely high. His spiritual power was unable to penetrate the protective layer on the ground. One had to know he had just made a breakthrough, so it was clear how valuable this competition stage was.
Right at this moment, a youth walked up from the opposite side. This youth had a well-proportioned body and was half a head taller than Lan Xuanyu. He had an ordinary appearance but his eyes were extremely sharp.
Looking at Lan Xuanyu, he raised both hands and made a throat-slitting gesture. Instantly, his entire being surged with fighting spirit.
Lan Xuanyu looked at the energetic young man and smiled. “Hello, I am Lan Xuanyu.”
The young man squinted his eyes and said, “Wang Zhanhang, I will let you know how wrong it is to challenge the upper years as a first year, even if you’re from Shrek Academy.”
Lan Xuanyu smiled. “Sure.”
At this moment, a middle-aged teacher had already arrived on the stage and was the referee for this match. “Both parties, get ready. Remember, this is a spar and will end when I say it. I have the qualifications to end the match at any time.”
Lan Xuanyu looked at the referee and then at Wang Zhanhang. “I’m ready.”
Wang Zhanhang nodded. “Yes.”
“Begin!”
The 10 matches against the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy officially began.
Lan Xuanyu raised his arms and six soul rings appeared. There were a total of six purple soul rings on both sides of his body, illuminating him with a faint purple color.
Wang Zhanhang’s body shook, and four soul rings appeared beneath his feet, two purple and two black. There were actually two 10,000-year soul rings. When his soul rings appeared, a large cauldron appeared in front of him and completely covered his back.
Martial Soul: Nine Division Cauldron.
Seeing this Martial Soul, Lan Xuanyu’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise. This Martial Soul was truly unique. Even among the Outer Court students he had seen in Shrek Academy, there was no similar existence.
When the large cauldron appeared, he immediately felt a thick aura and even the gravity on the competition stage changed.
Wang Zhanhang shouted, “Nine Division Cauldron Might !” In an instant, a layer of dark yellow light suddenly spread out from his cauldron and he unleashed his third soul ring. It was a 10,000-year soul skill.
The imposing manner he displayed just now was oppressive, but he wasn’t careless at all when facing Lan Xuanyu. He had unleashed his 10,000-year soul Skill, the Nine Division Cauldron Might, and within that rippling yellow halo, the air on the stage became heavy. Lan Xuanyu felt his feet sinking as though there was an invisible suction force pulling him, making it difficult for him to move.
This was a crowd control soul skill, so he was a control-type soul master?
Lan Xuanyu wasn’t in a rush to move and merely observed silently. To him, this sparring was also a good opportunity to accumulate battle experience.
Although the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy couldn’t be compared to Shrek Academy, it was still the number one academy in the Federation’s capital and ranked among the top in the entire Federation. The third years that were selected were definitely outstanding. Sparring with such opponents would be very helpful for Lan Xuanyu’s own improvement.
There were all sorts of strange Martial Souls and it was possible to face any opponent. It was only the first round and he had already witnessed a rare and powerful Martial Soul.
At the same time that he unleashed his soul skill, specks of light appeared at Wang Zhanghang’s joints. Following that, a dark yellow Battle Armor covered his entire body. The soul power fluctuation emitted from Wang Zhanghang’s body immediately increased by a notch.
In the next moment, both of his hands landed on the Nine Division Cauldron. The Nine Division Cauldron let out a buzzing sound and flew out. The instant it flew up, there were faint changes in colors on the ground. They were all yellow, but there were nine different shades of yellow.
In Lan Xuanyu’s vision, the Nine Division Cauldron enlarged rapidly and became over ten meters in diameter in the blink of an eye. It descended from the sky and smashed straight at him.
So simple and crude? Lan Xuanyu was helpless.
The 10,000-year soul skill Nine Division Cauldron Might beneath his feet resonated with the large cauldron that was flying in front of him. The entire ground seemed to be covered by a layer of yellow light, bringing with it an unparalleled suction force that pulled the large cauldron towards Lan Xuanyu.
Standing in the distance, Wang Zhanhang’s first and fourth soul rings had lit up at the same time. This was an advanced control technique of a soul skill.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but look down on Lan Xuanyu. He only had three purple soul rings and was only a three-ring soul master. Even if he was a One-Word Battle Armor Master, no matter how he thought about it, his soul power shouldn’t be stronger than his.
But right at this moment, Wang Zhanghang suddenly saw a purple color that resembled purple lightning.
At this moment, he was over 30 meters away from Lan Xuanyu but when that purple color appeared, Wang Zhanhang felt as though there was a pair of purple eyes enlarging before his eyes.
It was as if his brain had been smashed by a sledgehammer. He groaned as two streams of blood spurted out of his nose. Whether it was the Nine Division Cauldron Might on the ground or the Nine Division Cauldron descending from the sky, he lost control of both at this moment.
The 10,000-year soul skill beneath his feet disappeared, and the Nine Division Cauldron that fell from the sky rapidly shrunk, losing its target Lan Xuanyu.
What did Lan Xuanyu do? Tang Sect Technique, Purple Demon Eyes!
As one of the Tang Sect’s six great arts, the cultivation difficulty of the Purple Demon Eyes was ranked among the top. It required a long time of staring at the morning sun before it could be cultivated. The Purple Demon Eyes was also a type of spiritual power cultivation.
In fact, Lan Xuanyu hadn’t been cultivating the Purple Demon Eyes for a long time. When he first entered Shrek Academy, Tang Zhenhua had mentioned that he would bring him to the Tang Sect along the way so he could exchange some Tang Sect merit points for the Tang Sect secret arts. But he didn’t have the time to do so.
When did Lan Xuanyu start cultivating the Purple Demon Eyes? It was after he returned from the Elven Planet. With the fusion of the Beast God Di Tian, his spiritual power had increased explosively. At that time, he was thinking that he had to go through a qualitative change in spiritual power as soon as possible.
There were very few ways to cultivate spiritual power, but the Purple Demon Eyes was one of the best. He didn’t join the Tang Sect because Lan Xuanyu didn’t have time to earn Tang Sect merit points! His Purple Demon Eyes skill was exchanged against emblems in Shrek Academy.
Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were closely related. Other than the Mysterious Heavenly Skill, the others Tang Sect arts could be exchanged in Shrek Academy : Purple Demon Eyes, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and Mysterious Jade Hands. Only the Hidden Weapon Hundred Separation could only be learned in the Tang Sect.
Lan Xuanyu had only cultivated the Purple Demon Eyes for a few months. By right, his abilities should be ordinary and he should have only entered the first realm. But when his spiritual power broke through the Spirit Origin realm, his Purple Demon Eyes had evolved from the first realm to the second realm.
Purple Demon Eyes’ four realms were : Survey, Detailed, Mustard Seed, and Boundless.
