"Old Ji, your aura is too scattered. Your self-created domain is indeed very powerful, but as a sword cultivator, the effect of this domain has flaws! Junior Brothers, bring over a few large rocks. Make sure they're the hard kind!"
Su Yunlin called out, ordering a few disciples who were watching the show to bring over several large rocks.
Then Su Yunlin looked at the disciples gathered around. "You should all pay attention too. This is also meant for you. Anyone with a blade, sword, or spear Martial Soul should listen carefully."
Ji Juechen looked at Su Yunlin, curious about what he intended to point out.
"Brother Ji, attack this rock."
"Mm."
Ji Juechen casually slashed with his sword, cutting the rock into shattered pieces.
"Wow!"
Many disciples exclaimed in amazement. The rocks they had brought over were not ordinary stones. They were companion stones found near rare metal veins. Not only were they extremely hard, they were also very heavy. They had not expected Ji Juechen to cut one to pieces with a single sword strike.
"Your aura is too scattered. Watch mine."
Su Yunlin shook his head, clearly not very satisfied with Ji Juechen's method. Then he picked up an iron sword from the nearby weapon rack and took a deep breath.
Ji Juechen's eyes instantly widened. He could not sense Su Yunlin's aura at all. Su Yunlin's aura at this moment seemed as though it did not exist, yet he was clearly standing right there!
Clang!
In the next instant, a ringing sound came. Su Yunlin thrust his sword toward the giant rock.
Chi—
A thin ray of light directly pierced through the rock, even piercing through the wall opposite it.
Boom—
Before long, the entire rock, along with that wall, collapsed with a crash.
Ji Juechen was incomparably shocked. So this was the way to do it? Too powerful!
"There are many ways to attack with a sword. Thrusting is only one of them. If you're slashing, then you should split it open without affecting the rest of the rock. Like this!"
Su Yunlin lightly held the iron sword and walked to another giant rock. He raised his hand and slashed a few times, but the giant rock did not move at all. Su Yunlin lowered the sword, then tapped the rock with one finger. The rock instantly split into several pieces. Looking carefully, the cut surfaces of the stone were incomparably smooth.
Ji Juechen was already unable to put his feelings into words. He felt as though all the years he had spent practicing the sword had been wasted.
"Thank you for your guidance." Ji Juechen cupped his fists toward Su Yunlin and bowed.
Su Yunlin nodded. "Although your innate Spirit Power isn't high, and in the eyes of others your talent might not be much, in my eyes, you are an absolute genius. You simply lacked the proper method. I hope you can gain something from this."
"Mm. I will."
Su Yunlin continued, "Your domain is very good, but it is too scattered. Later, you can try completely fusing the domain into your sword, or only releasing the domain in the instant you slash. Only then can you catch the enemy off guard and win by surprise."
"Thank you for your guidance."
Ji Juechen had gained a great deal today. He wanted to immediately enter seclusion and comprehend his sword anew.
"Ah—who! Who broke my wall again!"
A sharp cry rang out. It was none other than Tang Sect's Sect Master, Tang Ya. She walked out and discovered that the newly repaired wall was broken again, and this time, the damage was even worse.
Tang Ya stormed over furiously like an enraged tiger. The Tang Sect disciples present all subconsciously pointed at Su Yunlin.
"Good! Yunlin! It was you who broke my wall again!"
Su Yunlin was stunned. Why was everyone present pointing at him? This bunch of traitors! He had gone through so much effort to teach them cultivation, and they were all ungrateful wolves!
"Sect Master, this wasn't…"
"What wasn't this or that? Hurry up and fix this Sect Master's wall!" Tang Ya said angrily.
"Uh… yes."
Su Yunlin walked to the wall and scratched his head. Then he notified a construction team in Spirit City, asking them to repair Tang Sect's wall. While they were at it, they were to reinforce Tang Sect's walls as well. They broke every few days. What kind of shoddy construction was this?
Tang Wutong watched Su Yunlin suffer a setback with a giggle. Seeing Su Yunlin humbled was a rare thing. It was not something one could encounter every day.
"Yunlin, Yunlin, teach me how to use the Clear Sky Hammer too. Do I also need to concentrate my aura?" Tang Wutong asked coquettishly.
Su Yunlin shook his head. "No need. Why would the Clear Sky Hammer need to concentrate aura? Just use strength to create miracles. If you can't beat the other side, that means you aren't strong enough. The Clear Sky Hammer is meant to break all techniques with pure force!"
Tang Wutong nodded half-understandingly. Then, after thinking carefully, she felt that such delicate work did not suit her. She just needed to swing her hammer. If that still did not work, she could detonate a few Spirit Rings to strengthen her power!
...
Inner courtyard.
Today, Elder Xuan summoned the Shrek Seven Monsters. Elder Xuan carefully looked over the Shrek Seven Monsters and nodded in satisfaction.
The growth of the Shrek Seven Monsters was truly astonishing. Leaving aside Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong, those two outrageous existences, just Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi alone were already powerful enough.
Bei Bei's Spirit Power had already reached level 67, while Xu Sanshi had even reached level 68.
Aside from Huo Yuhao, who was still a Spirit King, the other members were all at least Spirit Emperors. Elder Xuan's precious disciple, Xiao Xiao, had also reached level 63.
Since the current Shrek Seven Monsters were going to represent Tang Sect in the tournament, Shrek Academy had no choice but to choose other students to form a new competing team.
The new members chosen by Shrek Academy were Di Ruiqiu, He Caitou, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Xie Huanyue, Cao Jinxuan, Zhou Sichen, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, and Huang Chutian.
A total of 10 people.
Su Yunlin had not expected He Caitou to be placed into the Shrek team. His age did fit, and as a level 7 soul engineer, he was barely acceptable.
This time, the captain of the Shrek team was Di Ruiqiu. The official members were Ning Tian, Xie Huanyue, Wu Feng, He Caitou, Cao Jinxuan, and Zhou Sichen.
The Lan sisters and Huang Chutian were substitute members.
On Shrek's team, only 2 people were Spirit Emperors. Di Ruiqiu and He Caitou were Spirit Emperors, while Ning Tian, Xie Huanyue, and Wu Feng were Spirit Kings. The others were all Spirit Ancestors.
The main force for this tournament should have been the Shrek Seven Monsters. In the end, the Shrek Seven Monsters were representing Tang Sect, so these students had been forced into the role.
However, a pre-tournament friendly match was still necessary. It was the Shrek Seven Monsters against the Shrek team, but Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong were banned from participating. The two of them taking the field would be far too unfair.
The following battle revolved around the Five Monsters and the Shrek team.
The outcome was naturally obvious. Even without Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong, the Shrek Seven Monsters still had astonishing combat power. Not only was their cultivation high, they could also use all kinds of soul tools. Adding in their trump card, battle armor, there was no suspense at all.
Even though Di Ruiqiu possessed the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, she still could not defeat a Spirit Emperor wearing two-word battle armor. Di Ruiqiu also understood now. She finally understood just how powerful soul tools truly were. Wearing a set of miraculous armor could make one's combat power soar to the Spirit Douluo level.
Su Yunlin sat in the stands, watching the sparring match between the two sides.
"Not bad. At least the students now can skillfully use soul tools. That's enough. At the very least, the safety factor is high enough."
Su Yunlin was very satisfied with this. The students' safety would always come first.
Yan Shaozhe stood beside Su Yunlin. "Little Junior Brother, do you think we should equip Di Ruiqiu and the others with battle armor too?"
Su Yunlin fell into thought. Among the Shrek team, the only one who likely had battle armor was He Caitou. As Fan Yu's disciple, and someone who had also studied at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, he would naturally know how to make his own battle armor.
If Di Ruiqiu were also equipped with battle armor, her combat power would increase greatly.
Su Yunlin waved his hand. "That depends on them. In any case, if Di Ruiqiu wants battle armor, let Huo Yuhao make it for her."
Yan Shaozhe was puzzled. "Why Yuhao?"
Su Yunlin revealed a mysterious smile. "Senior Brother, the secrets of heaven must not be revealed. Right, I can sense that Senior Brother's aura has become even deeper. Have you broken through again?"
Yan Shaozhe nodded. "As expected, I can't hide it from Junior Brother's senses. I have indeed made a breakthrough. In the past, I truly held back the Radiant Phoenix."
