Chapter 177: Compared to my brother, I'm nothing but a chicken and a dog!
Staring at the five spirit rings—two purple and three black—appearing on Tang Chuan's body, gasps of astonishment erupted from hundreds of thousands of people simultaneously.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"Am I seeing things? Two purple and three black? The first spirit ring is a thousand years old?! The third spirit ring is ten thousand years old, how...how can his spirit ring configuration be even more terrifying than Tang San's?"
"An illusion! This must be some kind of illusion-type spirit skill!"
"My god...this...this spirit ring configuration is unheard of! How did he do it?"
"That purple...the second spirit ring is a thousand years old? The first spirit ring is also purple? And a thousand years old? This completely violates the theory of the limits of spirit ring absorption for spirit masters!"
The stands erupted in chaos, countless gasps, doubts, and incredulous screams sweeping through every corner like a tsunami.
On the VIP platform, the royal family members and civil and military officials, led by Emperor Xue Ye, could hardly maintain their composure. Almost simultaneously, they stood up from their seats, their faces filled with horror and disbelief.
Emperor Xue Ye frowned, his gaze fixed on the illogical spirit rings on Tang Chuan's body below the stage. He muttered to himself,
"This... how is this possible? The first spirit ring is a thousand years old? The third spirit ring is even more advanced, reaching ten thousand years? This... could this be some kind of advanced illusion-type spirit skill?"
But then he sensed the genuine aura of a Spirit King emanating from Tang Chuan, immediately dismissing his guess, his brows furrowing even deeper.
"No... this aura can't be faked, it's a true Spirit King, but these spirit rings..."
Completely baffled, Emperor Xue Ye abruptly turned to Ning Fengzhi beside him, his tone probing and subtly scrutinizing, saying,
"Sect Master Ning, it seems... you must have known something beforehand? Otherwise, why would you favor Heavenly Movement Academy so much?"
Ning Fengzhi, at this moment, had long lost his usual refined composure. His mouth was slightly agape, his face also filled with astonishment and disbelief.
He did indeed support Heavenly Movement Academy and knew that Tang Chuan was exceptionally talented and strong, but he had never seen such an astonishing configuration of spirit rings before!
"Your Majesty, I support Heavenly Movement Academy mainly because my daughter Rongrong is also studying there... As for the configuration of spirit rings on this young friend Tang Chuan..."
"I have never seen it before either, and I was truly shocked. If I had known this earlier, I would have reported it to Your Majesty immediately and would not have dared to conceal anything."
Caught off guard by Emperor Xue Ye's sudden questioning, Ning Fengzhi finally came to his senses, quickly composed himself, but his tone still carried a trace of unresolved shock and slight embarrassment as he explained.
Gazing at the scene before him, Platinum Bishop Salas's previously narrowed eyes suddenly brightened, a barely perceptible glint flashing within them. His hands, resting on his knees, unconsciously clenched, and he thought to himself,
"This...this academy, could it also belong to our Spirit Hall?"
"Otherwise, why would those two elders specifically seek me out and ask me to arrange for this academy's first match to be against Shrek Academy?"
Thinking this, his brows furrowed again, his expression becoming even more somber.
"That's not right. If this Heavenly Movement Academy is from our Spirit Hall, then why haven't I received any news from Spirit City?"
"No, I must report this to Her Holiness the Pope as soon as possible!"
...
On the Soul Arena.
When Tang San saw the terrifying spirit ring configuration of two purple and three black rings on Tang Chuan's body, completely defying common sense, his expression instantly changed drastically, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints!
"How...how could this be!?"
"This...this is absolutely impossible!"
Tang San's current state was extremely bad; his face was pale, his body swaying precariously, as if his spine had been emptied.
He felt the world plunge into darkness.
He felt the sky was about to collapse.
"My brother's spirit ring configuration is two purple and three black? He... he's already a Spirit King. I... I have innate full spirit power and twin martial souls, but compared to my brother now..."
"I'm nothing but a chicken and a dog!"
At this moment, Tang San's spirit was instantly drained.
His original confidence and fighting spirit, fueled by his ten-thousand-year-old fourth spirit ring, were utterly shattered by this spirit ring configuration that absolutely violated the ironclad rules of the spirit master world!
And the reactions of Dai Mubai, Tai Long, and the others standing behind him were even more disastrous.
Under the immense pressure of these five spirit rings, especially the three ten-thousand-year spirit rings, and the combined visual and psychological impact, they felt an indescribable, terrifying oppression wash over them, as if they were being stared at by a bloodthirsty prehistoric beast, their hearts nearly leaping out of their chests!
Dai Mubai's face instantly turned deathly pale, his evil eyes filled with terror, and he instinctively took two steps back, the ferocious aura of his White Tiger spirit being suppressed and weakened.
Tai Long's legs went weak, almost collapsing to the ground, only managing to avoid embarrassment thanks to his strong physique, though cold sweat was already pouring down his forehead.
The fighting spirit that had just risen within the Shrek Academy team was, at this moment, completely crushed by Tang Chuan alone, in the most direct and domineering way!
Just as the Shrek Academy students were shaken to their core by the unbelievable spirit ring configuration, stunned and terrified...
The deepest, most chilling black fifth spirit ring on Tang Chuan's body suddenly lit up, and an aura of life and destiny intertwined instantly filled the entire Soul Arena.
The next second, in the void behind him, a huge golden vertical eye, shimmering with blue-gold light and woven from vines, appeared without warning!
The vertical eye was cold and indifferent, as if a god were looking down at ants, devoid of any emotion.
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Tragedy of Destiny!"
Giving the Shrek Academy members no time to react, even while their minds were still blank with shock and fear,
an extremely condensed blue-gold light, containing a strange power of destiny, suddenly shot out from the huge golden vertical eye's pupil!
The dazzling blue-gold light instantly spanned most of the Soul Arena, and then simultaneously struck the seven Shrek Academy team members who were gathered together.
"Ugh!"
"Ah!"
Tang San and the others almost simultaneously let out a muffled groan or a short cry of surprise.
It wasn't that they didn't want to dodge, but rather that the moment the golden vertical eye appeared...
An unparalleled pressure and a force of destiny emanating from the depths of their souls instantly stiffened their bodies and slowed their thinking, rendering them completely incapable of any effective evasive maneuvers!
The moment the blue-gold light struck the Shrek team, a bizarre scene unfolded.
The white tiger phantom on Dai Mubai melted away instantly, like ice and snow exposed to sunlight, while the light from the spirit rings swirling around Tang San slowly dimmed.
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Jiang Zhu, Tai Long… the spirits possessing everyone were forcibly forced back into their bodies at this moment!
What terrified them even more was the spirit power that had been surging within them.
Now, it was as if it had been completely frozen and sealed; no matter how they tried to activate it, they couldn't muster even a fraction of it! They seemed to have instantly become ordinary people without any spirit power!
Just one move! One second!
The entire Shrek team had their spirit possessions forcibly removed, their spirit power sealed!
They had completely lost the ability to resist!
Immediately afterward, the seven Shrek Seven Devils, struck by the blue-gold light and whose soul power was instantly sealed, felt their heads spin, a violent wave of dizziness washing over them.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Several muffled thuds followed.
Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other five were almost powerless to resist; their vision went black, and they completely lost consciousness, collapsing onto the cold arena floor.
A gasp rippled through the stands!
"What? The match is over just like that?"
Seeing this scene, the referee instinctively took a step forward, his lips slightly parted, preparing to announce the end of this bizarrely lopsided match.
However, at that very moment, a blue figure, amidst the violent shaking, stubbornly and laboriously managed to stand up again!
