For a moment, Xuanzi understood many things.
Although Di Tian had brought countless soul beasts here, he was clearly wary of Shrek Academy.
Di Tian's purpose in coming here was definitely not to provoke a conflict between soul beasts and humans. From the beginning, he had no intention of taking the initiative to attack. Instead, it was Xuanzi's hesitation just now that suddenly gave Di Tian the idea to act here.
Even if he did make a move, Di Tian had not gone all out because they were inside Shrek Academy.
Just as Di Tian had said earlier, if Xuanzi had really been able to speak up and stop Di Tian's actions like Zhang Lexuan had, perhaps there would not have been such a conflict right now.
It was a pity…
Beside him, Lin Xiao, who was currently contending with Di Tian, had no time to pay attention to many things, but similarly, he was not struggling as much as others had imagined.
If Di Tian had gone all out, no matter how confident Lin Xiao was, he would not have thought that with his current cultivation, he could defeat an 800,000-year-old soul beast, not to mention that Di Tian had quite a few secrets about him as well.
But Di Tian had chosen the most basic method of competing in soul power.
Perhaps he did not take Lin Xiao too seriously, or perhaps he had some wariness toward Shrek Academy's power, but at this moment, it allowed Lin Xiao to understand just how far his "soul core" had reached.
When he had broken through to rank 90 back then, Electrolux had provided him with another method of breakthrough, which was to integrate a "world" as his soul core into his body.
Before this, although Lin Xiao knew that his "soul core" was different from ordinary ones, he had no way to compare how much it surpassed that of ordinary soul masters.
At this moment, feeling the endless soul power in the plane of the dead, feeling the sensation of soul power surging through his meridians, Lin Xiao understood in his heart that right now, in the most basic competition of soul power, he was not even weaker than the 800,000-year-old soul beast Di Tian.
Time passed minute by minute. The fluctuations of soul power between Lin Xiao and Di Tian could not be hidden from the perception of the other experts. The two were evenly matched. Whether it was Xuanzi or the soul masters of the three great empires on the ground, their expressions at this moment were already somewhat out of control.
No one had ever imagined that a human could be in any way inferior to an 800,000-year-old soul beast in terms of soul power thickness.
Some soul masters still felt a bit indignant in their hearts, thinking that Lin Xiao had only been able to lead the Sun Moon Empire to defeat them by relying on the power of soul tools. In competing with the most basic power of soul masters, they still held the advantage.
But at this moment, the contest between Lin Xiao and Di Tian instantly turned all that dissatisfaction and arrogance into nothingness.
Even without soul tools, Lin Xiao's strength had already reached a level they had never even thought of.
Even if Lin Xiao did not have powerful soul skills, just by consuming soul power, he could exhaust all the soul masters present until they were drained.
In front of the crowd, Xu Jiawei suddenly let out a long breath, withdrew his gaze, and slightly lowered his head, letting out a helpless, bitter laugh.
It was laughable that they had just moments ago really developed some delusions because of Di Tian's words.
But now, let alone what the three great empires would become under the protection of the soul beasts, even whether Di Tian could protect the three great empires under the Sun Moon Empire's attack was somewhat doubtful.
Xu Jiawei withdrew his thoughts, raised his eyes full of worry, and looked at the others around him, only to see gazes similar to his own.
Everyone understood in their hearts that the outcome of the battle in the sky was no longer important. When Lin Xiao was able to contend with Di Tian, who had 800,000 years of cultivation, their few people's thoughts had long since become insignificant.
In this world, strength was the foundation of everything.
This was a principle Lin Xiao had known since he was young.
Inside Shrek Academy, although many students had been arranged to hide, there were still some who were watching the battle in the sky from afar.
They had just felt Di Tian's might, and Lin Xiao, who was able to contend with that power, although his figure had not changed, seemed to have grown much taller in their hearts.
"Boom—"
Just as everyone was focused on the contest in the sky, a loud rumble suddenly sounded at the entrance of Shrek Academy.
Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo instantly withdrew their gazes. With just one look, they quickly turned toward Juzi.
"That is your soul mentor, legion. Letting them enter the academy for no reason—do you intend to start a war with Shrek City?"
Jing Hongchen slightly stepped forward upon hearing this, half shielding Juzi behind him.
"For no reason?"
Juzi showed not the slightest panic. She turned her head to look at Xian Lin'er and chuckled lightly, "Your Shrek Academy is colluding with soul beasts. Our Sun Moon Empire naturally has to support our Sun Moon Empire's National Teacher."
"Hall Master Hongchen, give the order."
"Yes."
Jing Hongchen's gaze swept across the Shrek crowd and the people from the three great empires. His voice suddenly grew louder, "Royal Soul Mentor Legion, form the array!"
As soon as the words fell, several beams of light shot straight into the sky from the entrance of Shrek Academy.
In the air, Di Tian's expression changed in alarm, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that those beams of light were actually rushing toward Lin Xiao. Before he could think clearly, red and blue light intertwined and rose from Lin Xiao's body, surging toward Di Tian along his right arm.
Di Tian's complexion changed drastically. A dragon roar sounded as his figure instantly flew back, then retreated several steps. Only after the black mist behind him surged did he barely manage to stop.
Di Tian looked at Lin Xiao with some disbelief. He naturally knew that the Sun Moon Empire possessed various soul tools, but he had not expected that simply linking those soul tools together would be enough to burst forth with power that could even surpass his own.
Lin Xiao also withdrew his hand and did not pursue. He swept his gaze around in a circle. From the sky to the ground, not a single person dared to meet his eyes.
Several auras surged within the black mist, but inside Shrek Academy, the golden light permeating everywhere also flickered slightly.
Di Tian raised his hand, stopping the restless crowd of soul beasts behind him. A trace of regret suddenly rose in his heart.
The Great Star Dou Forest had originally been a natural buffer zone for the three great empires, so naturally, not many people would interfere with it. But once it was completely taken by the Sun Moon Empire, to make it more convenient for humans to obtain soul rings, they would sooner or later make some arrangements.
And within the Great Star Dou Forest, there were things that he absolutely could not let humans know about.
Although it had been a spur-of-the-moment idea, Di Tian really had not expected that someone would be able to contend with him head-on.
Originally, he had only wanted to disrupt the peace talks between the several great empires this time and buy some time for the soul beasts, or rather, for the Great Star Dou Forest. But he had not expected that this trip would instead make the unification of the Sun Moon Empire even smoother.
"This seat has not come out to walk around for a long time. I never thought that such a figure would appear among humans." Di Tian's gaze landed on Lin Xiao once again, and his expression had changed slightly compared to before.
Lin Xiao glanced in the direction of Shrek Academy's entrance and slightly raised his hand. The Royal Soul Mentor Legion immediately stopped their actions.
He raised his head again to look at Di Tian. Lin Xiao understood in his heart that although the words sounded like appreciation, they also meant that Di Tian had completely given up on the idea of taking action here.
"So now, we can properly discuss the future matters of the Great Star Dou Forest."
