"Xu Tianyang, you are indeed powerful. You are the strongest peer I have encountered. Next, I will unleash my strongest attack. If you can withstand it, then I will concede."
Qian Renxue was an extremely proud and arrogant person. She pursued a perfect outcome in all things.
Fighting until now, she could feel Xu Tianyang's power. Even with almost all her techniques used, she still hadn't touched his limits. Xu Tianyang felt as unfathomable as the ocean to her.
"Alright, then let's decide the victor in one move." Xu Tianyang chuckled as he looked at Qian Renxue. He had already roughly gauged her strength. The current level 69 Qian Renxue definitely possessed the combat power of a Spirit Douluo.
Once she possessed her Martial Soul True Body, she would undoubtedly have Titled Douluo level combat power. The current Xu Nianshuang probably couldn't compare to her; the gap in spirit power level still existed. Only when both of them possessed their Martial Soul True Body...
it would still be a bit difficult, but not without a chance to fight.
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Angel's Roar!"
Qian Renxue didn't know that Xu Tianyang had already compared her to Xu Nianshuang in his mind. She put away her Holy Sword, and her body quickly disappeared into the golden domain, illuminating her sixth spirit ring.
As her sixth spirit ring slowly lit up, the Angel Martial Soul behind Qian Renxue frantically absorbed the energy within the domain. Golden lightning bolts, like countless small snakes, continuously flashed around her body.
Taking a deep breath, Qian Renxue suddenly exhaled with a sharp, clear, and prolonged roar that erupted from her mouth. In that instant, intense golden flames burst forth from her eyes.
Angel's Roar, a skill with a group-killing effect, instantly converts half of one's spirit power into a mental shock for a large-scale attack.
If the opponent's mental strength is more than twice weaker than the Angel Spirit Master's, they will be directly defeated. Conversely, if it's within twice, they will suffer severe mental damage.
Qian Renxue's mental realm not only had the bonus from her Angel Martial Soul but also a 99,999-year head Spirit Bone. Although the Spirit Ability of this Spirit Bone seemed a bit odd to Xu Tianyang, it was still a top-grade Spirit Bone, and its boost to mental strength was genuinely present.
Coupled with the bonus from the Angelic Domain, Qian Renxue's mental strength in this state directly crossed the threshold of the formless yet tangible.
She even had the ability to instantly kill a Spirit Saint.
However, facing Qian Renxue's terrifying mental attack, Xu Tianyang appeared extremely calm, standing still and allowing the opponent's attack to descend.
"Quick, dodge!" Seeing this scene, Qian Renxue's heart instantly tensed, and she shouted loudly.
"Boom!"
Under the gaze of several people, Qian Renxue's sixth Spirit Ability accurately struck Xu Tianyang's body. A silver-white light shield flashed around his body.
The enormous energy fluctuation caused an explosion in mid-air, like rolling thunder.
Large patches of gold shattered in response, turning into golden fragments, each fragment then breaking into countless golden light spots that vanished into the air.
Qian Renxue disregarded her nearly dry spirit power, her face ashen, her eyes misty, as she rushed to Xu Tianyang's front.
When the golden light dissipated, she saw the perfectly unharmed Xu Tianyang appear in her line of sight. Qian Renxue's body stiffened slightly, and she said in disbelief, "You... you're fine?!"
"Don't you know? I'm a mental attribute Spirit Master, and my mental strength is just a little bit higher than yours..." Xu Tianyang said, making a 'fingertip universe' gesture.
Although Qian Renxue didn't know the true meaning of this gesture, recalling his previous performance, her mental Spirit Ability indeed had no effect on Xu Tianyang, so she nodded seriously.
"Your mental attribute is indeed much stronger than mine."
"I lost this competition. I will go back and cultivate diligently, and next time I will definitely win it back."
"Good, I await your challenge." Xu Tianyang nodded seriously.
After the battle ended, Xu Tianyang took Qian Renxue to arrange her accommodation, then left first.
Qian Renxue's joining Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, apart from two more regular visitors in the Douluo Arena, didn't cause any other impact... On this day, after listening to Lin Fan's report, Xu Tianyang spoke, "So, those people from Heaven Dou Empire have already announced their departure?"
"Precisely. They have been in the academy for a year now. Not to mention how many spirit tool crafting methods they've learned, they can at least distinguish and use most spirit tools on the continent. They've essentially achieved their original goal, so they're preparing to return and get ready for the Soul Master Competition a year from now."
Lin Fan nodded. Both sides were very clear about the purpose of those geniuses from Heaven Dou Empire.
Or rather, Sun Moon Empire was very clear. The people of Heaven Dou Empire still didn't know why Sun Moon Empire would agree to such a request. On the surface, it seemed Sun Moon Empire didn't gain any benefits.
However, after such a long period of collection, Sun Moon Empire had already gathered information on high-level and top-tier Spirits, including the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Black Tortoise, and Gale Dual-Headed Wolf. This was their harvest.
And Xu Nianshuang's unexpected Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Shui Bing'er was an even greater gain.
Now, Xu Tianyang and the people from Tianshui Academy were very familiar with each other. Regarding the Shui Family behind them, Xu Tianyang's maternal grandfather's family, the Mu Family, personally stepped forward and established a good cooperative relationship with the Shui Family.
It could be said that the communication between both sides was very friendly. You covet the benefits generated by my Sun Moon Empire's spirit tools, and I covet Shui Bing'er, even to the point where, in the end, the entire Shui Family and Tianshui Academy would not be able to escape.
Besides Tianshui Academy, several other major families in Ming City also had close ties with the powers behind Blazing Academy and Shenfeng Academy.
"The time is almost up, so let them go back." Xu Tianyang pondered for a moment, then nodded.
According to the intelligence from Zhu Zhuqing's side, the Shrek A group of people first joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy through Qin Ming's recommendation. Without Xue Beng and Dugu Bo's interference as in the original work, facing Flender and a group of powerful Spirit Masters, as well as Tang San and several other geniuses,
even if the Heaven Dou Education Committee saw through Shrek's scheme of 'using someone else's resources to achieve their own goals', they still reluctantly accepted it.
Feelings could be cultivated. Among Tang San and the other geniuses, besides Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, whom they deemed impossible to win over, the remaining Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were all 'commoner' Spirit Masters. If they could win over even one, it would be a huge gain.
Both sides had their own plans; it just depended on whose methods were superior.
Strangely, with so many Spirit Douluo present, no one discovered Xiao Wu's true identity.
However, considering that Tang Hao had always stayed by Tang San's side, Xu Tianyang didn't intend to delve deeper into the answer to this question.
However, half a month after the Shrek group joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy, an accident occurred. The Shrek group withdrew from Heaven Dou Royal Academy and, through 'coincidence', joined Blue Tyrant Academy.
The next day, Blue Tyrant Academy was directly renamed Shrek Academy.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy was caught off guard, and even lost a talented teacher, Qin Ming.
The reason Blue Tyrant Academy was renamed Shrek Academy was clearly due to Liu Erlong's intervention. Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang, her twenty years of loneliness and 'love-struck' tendencies immediately flared up, and she directly gave Blue Tyrant Academy to Flender, while she herself stuck by Yu Xiaogang's side every day.
It's unknown what kind of expression Yu Luomian would have upon hearing this news. What was originally a tacit guarantee for his daughter's future was handed over to someone else by Liu Erlong.
And with Yu Xiaogang, that 'little blondie', involved, Yu Luomian must have felt like he had eaten dirt.
Ning Rongrong, due to her good relationship with Zhu Zhuqing, and because Zhu Zhuqing had not received Xu Tianyang's orders to leave Shrek on her own, the two girls had been staying at Shrek and formed the Shrek Team.
With Liu Erlong, the wealthy woman, and Ning Fengzhi, who, upon seeing the several geniuses of Shrek, had a change of heart, the Shrek members were able to use spirit tools.
