"Bastard, I have even more reasons why I cannot lose!"
Long Yue did not dare to take the opponent's giant hammer head-on. He dodged to the side, and his second spirit ring lit up, "River!"
The sky seemed to collapse as countless streams of water descended from above, crashing down like the Milky Way pouring out, swallowing Yuanen Yehui's figure.
"Swamp!" Long Yue followed up by releasing his third Spirit Ability. The arena, already densely packed with mountain peaks, turned into a troublesome quagmire. Working in tandem with the mountains and rivers, it aimed to trap Yuanen Yehui to death.
In an instant, the smiles on the faces of many spectators, including Yuan En Zhentian, faded, and they no longer looked down on Long Yue.
Judging solely by the strength of the Spirit, the Mountain Dragon King Spirit was undoubtedly stronger than top-tier Spirits like the Titan Giant Ape, Sacred Angel, or Fallen Angel. One could see clues just from the Spirit abilities; large-scale, all-encompassing Spirit abilities possessed immense destructive power.
Even a Titan Giant Ape would be severely suppressed if it did not stimulate its Divine Rank Bloodline.
Long Yue's luck was very poor. Yuanen Yehui's Titan Giant Ape did not fear the majesty of the Mountain Dragon King. As her first and...
...third amplification spirit rings shone, her already robust physique expanded violently. The two giant hammers forged from Soul Forged metal shook heaven and earth, as she used brute force and spirit power to forcibly break through the natural heavenly might.
Holding her hammers horizontally, she charged straight up, pushing through the immense pressure from bottom to top to strike the river in the sky.
Long Yue's brow furrowed. A primitive-looking Double-pointed Overlord Spear appeared in his hand. He shattered the stage with one step and shot out like a cannonball, heading straight for Yuanen Yehui.
"Yuanen Yehui, let me see how much of your teacher's true legacy you have inherited!"
"I cannot answer that question for you, but you will definitely lose!"
Long Yue used his spear to parry, thrust, strike, hit, and sweep with formidable power. Yuanen Yehui swung her hammers like rain, her hegemonic way Battle Intent displayed to its fullest, quickly revealing the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method.
Seeing his granddaughter's war hammers gradually gain the upper hand, forcing Long Yue back step by step from above and making him switch from offense to defense, Yuan En Zhentian felt greatly comforted.
"Fortunately, she followed the right person. If she had gone to Shrek, how could Ye Hui have had the chance to evolve her Spirit and learn the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes?"
Yuan En Zhentian thought happily. Although Feng Zaixing's method of forcibly taking someone as a Disciple was a bit bandit-like, his dedication to his Disciple was profound, which was undoubtedly a wonderful thing.
Fusing with the Earth Dragon Golden Squash immortal grade item was an even greater Opportunity. It was something ordinary people could hardly imagine, and it was almost impossible for the Shrek Seven Devils as well.
En Ci's face was dark. Long Yue being suppressed by the younger Yuanen Yehui indirectly suggested that he, as a teacher, was inferior to Feng Zaixing.
Even though this was bound to happen in the future, facing such a bloody reality now still left a very bitter taste in his mouth.
Dai Tianling looked at Long Yue worriedly and sent a voice transmission to En Ci: "Teacher, if Long Yue loses today, it will be difficult for us to answer to the citizens. They won't care how many resources that madman Feng Zaixing gave his Disciple; they will only be angry at our academy's incompetence."
En Ci sighed with a look of helplessness and said, "I have no other way. Long Yue has fused 100,000-year Spirit Bones into both arms, and his torso has fused with a True Dragon Spirit Bone obtained by our nation's ancestors from that Tang Sect Secret Realm. His strength would make even an ordinary Super Douluo retreat, yet who would have thought Yuanen Yehui would be slightly superior—"
His gaze swept around until he found Feng Zaixing sitting leisurely in the audience with a smile. Annoyed, he said, "I don't even understand where he gets so many resources and benefits. I've never seen such a generous and extravagant young man. Others wouldn't even have the chance to be so charitable if they wanted to!"
He had looked into the Titan Giant Ape Family; they were a bunch of paupers who had talent, heritage, and wealth—but the wealth was just more talent. In the past, the experts from their Family relied entirely on their Bloodline talent to break through, as they had very little money.
But with Yuanen Yehui, joining the Body Sect directly changed her status. The resources she received were even above those of Long Yue, a Genius who received the full support of the Star Luo Empire and the Tang Sect!
Feng Zaixing didn't even need to participate in the battle to sit high in the Nine Heavens, smiling as he watched the clouds change. How proud and elegant was that?
Even an old Senior like him couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.
Dai Tianling sighed, "The heavenly luck is not with my Star Luo. If it were just Feng Zaixing being strong, it would be fine, as he is ultimately just one person. However, he vigorously supports those around him, and I am helpless against it."
He had long ago used various channels to understand the information of the group from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Feng Zaixing was the absolute Soul and core of this group. It was he who led this pack of wolves out of their ivory tower academy to raise their butcher knives against the major Hidden Families, raiding their homes and exterminating their clans.
On one hand, they suppressed Evil Soul Masters, and on the other, they reshaped order. Simultaneously, they gave their own people opportunities to train and improve, seizing massive amounts of resources. It would be a miracle if they weren't powerful.
It was in this atmosphere that the calls of the Federation's Hawk Faction grew louder by the day. Many old fogies in the Federation were frightened by them and conspired with the Angel Family to cause trouble, intending to burn the bridge after crossing it. Unexpectedly, Feng Zaixing did not hesitate to slash his own Lifespan to carve out a path for his own people.
The Angel Family and the Southern Families were finished. Subsequently, many families and forces connected to them were wiped out. The Federation's dove faction, once supported by the Tang Sect, completely collapsed, and the neutral faction supported by Shrek was half-crippled. No one dared to openly oppose the Federal Investigation Bureau anymore.
However, the dove faction did not perish. Under the guidance of a master, the Federation's Hawk Faction actually "split" themselves. The Hawk conservatives, who advocated for gradual progress, formulating complete policies and strategies before launching a war of unification, while not giving up on peaceful unification, grandly announced that they were now the "New Dove Faction."
The Hawk radicals, who advocated for full firepower and conquering the two continents with the most aggressive posture, naturally became the "New Hawk Faction."
The "New Dove Faction" and the "New Hawk Faction" jointly announced to the Federation's citizens in the new parliamentary elections:
The old dove faction, which accepted funding from the Tang Sect, was an illegal organization that completely violated the Federation's constitution, defied the national Spirit, and deceived the citizens.
Only parliamentary factions like the "New Dove Faction" and the "New Hawk Faction," who truly wanted to crush the other continents from the bottom of their hearts, were organizations that truly acted from the perspective of the citizens.
Since then, all the violent attacks the Federal Investigation Bureau had previously launched against the old dove faction received the final endorsement of the parliament. The remaining members of the old dove faction either switched to the New Dove Faction or left the political arena forever. When the Federal Parliament met, everyone just shouted for the hawks together, and efficiency increased significantly.
These words were upright and unabashed, to the point that even Dai Tianling secretly agreed. After all, what they said was the truth; the former Federation dove faction was indeed a mouthpiece cultivated by the Tang Sect, and it wasn't wrong to call them a comprador faction.
Of course, this was definitely not good news for the Star Luo Empire. The Federation's blade had turned inward to shatter the comprador faction, which meant there was no longer anyone to restrain their actions, and there would only be one voice from top to bottom.
And among those who could project such a voice, Feng Zaixing was certainly one of them!
"Clang!"
Yuanen Yehui and Long Yue exchanged over fifty moves. The webbing between Long Yue's thumb and forefinger cracked with intense pain, and he finally couldn't suppress his falling momentum, slamming into a corner of the arena with a bang as his spear flew out of his hand.
"Mountain Dragon King's Wrath!"
Long Yue lit up his sixth spirit ring. The sky seemed to turn red in an instant, and then his body expanded violently, reaching over fifty meters, as if he had truly transformed into a giant dragon.
Yuanen Yehui's elegant brows rose slightly. The orange-gold spirit ring brought by the Earth Dragon Golden Squash shone for the first time. Her physique expanded violently, and she also transformed into a massive beast over thirty meters tall.
A bright yellow glow pierced the clouds. Yuanen Yehui flew up, her palms forming seals in the air. Streams of earthy yellow light mist gathered, transforming into two palm prints descending from the sky, blotting out the sun and pressing down on the firmament.
"Titan, Covering the Heavens!"
With a similar explosion of all attributes, the auras of the two six-ring experts soared to a level that would make an ordinary Spirit Douluo tremble with fear. With Two-Word Battle Armor donned, a Titled Douluo-level spirit power storm erupted on the stage.
The Mountain Dragon swung its tail, its eyes fierce and hideous, as it met the hand that covered the heavens. The world shook in all directions, and large sections of the Soul tool energy shields around the arena shattered.
En Ci and Yuan En Zhentian immediately stepped in to stabilize the area and prevent the aftershocks from spreading.
Dust filled the air, and sand and stones flew across the Soul fighting stage. Countless spectators were excited, shouting that today's tickets were worth more than their price.
"I never thought the earth element could be used to this extent!"
"Even if I'm injured by the aftershocks today, it's worth the ticket price!"
"Go Dragon King! Show the strength of Monster Academy!"
"Go Yuanen Yehui! Knock the Dragon King down! Gua!"
"Is this still a clash between the younger generation? Where have I been taken?"
At the Monster Academy's area, Tiger King Dai Yueyan's mouth twitched wildly. He hadn't known how strong Long Yue had become after the special training from the Tang Sect and En Ci, nor did he know how strong Yuanen Yehui was. Only now did he have a concept of it.
"Brother, it seems Yuanen Yehui didn't use much strength at all when she knocked you down last time," Dai Yuner added salt to the wound in Dai Yueyan's ear.
"You were out in the first round and you still have the nerve to mock me? Top thirty-two!"
Dai Yueyan retorted sarcastically, emphasizing the words "top thirty-two" to indicate that a weakling was not fit to mock a top-eight contestant.
"Che~~"
Dai Yuner ignored him, only saying, "Your wallet for the month after next is also finished." Dai Yueyan's face instantly turned ashen.
"But it's still okay, at least we're much stronger than those people from Shrek Academy. It seems they really are just empty names."
o
Dai Yuner looked at the old acquaintances from Shrek Academy in the distance, whose faces were frozen, and laughed out loud boldly.
The Monster Academy's eight heavenly kings nodded one after another.
"Yuner is right. Shrek is truly getting worse with each generation."
"With the skills of those people, I think we, the eight heavenly kings, could completely compete for their Seven Devils spots."
"The only problem is that there are only seven spots for the Seven Devils, and there are eight of us."
At this point, everyone fell silent. Dai Yuner was ranked last among the eight heavenly kings and theoretically should be the one kicked out, but who dared to say it?
The Princess's Wallet Clearing Technique was waiting for you!
On the side of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Feng Zaixing shook his head slightly, "The outcome is decided."
The dust cleared to reveal the two combatants. Long Yue was covered in blood and lying on the ground as if paralyzed, looking completely defeated.
Yuanen Yehui had already deactivated her Spirit, reverting from a violent giant ape back into a beautiful young girl, her heavy breathing causing the majestic peaks of her chest to heave.
The referee descended and announced that the Star Luo Empire's greatest Genius in a thousand years, the Dragon King Long Yue, had unfortunately been defeated. In an instant, countless people felt as if they were mourning their own parents, their confidence shattered.
"Our Dragon King couldn't even defeat that man's Disciple? Where is the future of the Star Luo Empire?"
Someone in the audience wailed like this, triggering a wave of mourning. The impact of Long Yue's defeat was too terrifying.
Feng Zaixing watched with a smile as his Disciple returned, feeling greatly relieved. Although he was young, in terms of status, he was now a Senior master.
Gu Yue appeared before Yuanen Yehui could arrive to share the good news and whispered, "Boss, through my unremitting efforts, I have found the headquarters of the Green Skull Organization."
