NABC Chapter 145 Reaching the top spot, surpassing all others!
Chapter 145 Reaching the top spot, surpassing all others!
Chapter 145 Reaching the top of the list, surpassing all others!
Upon hearing this, Tang Dong's lips curled into a sneer, and he was about to say, "Who gave you the courage?"
But the next moment, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and his lips turned deathly pale.
"Huh?! Oh no!"
As Jiang Xiu finished speaking, Nangong Yao and the other person immediately realized something was wrong. Their soul power was draining away at an extremely fast speed, and the source of the drain was their shadows!
The students in the surrounding stands all looked astonished. How could the situation, which had clearly been tilting in Tang Dong's favor, have changed so suddenly?
Jiang Xiu smiled kindly, his five fingers slightly clenched, and his second soul ring fully bloomed, continuously activating the Extreme Evil Shadow Soul Devouring Skill.
Of the three, Li Qiankun had very little soul power left, followed by Tang Dong, while only Nangong Yao had suffered relatively little loss. He had previously used the Monarch Domain to reduce the soul power of the three to the point where the Extreme Evil Shadow Devourer could kill them.
And now it's time to wrap things up.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
A slight tremor sounded, and the shadows beneath the three people rose up like flowing water. Their mouths grinned wildly, and their scarlet eyes silently watched their true forms. As they rose, the martial spirits of Tang Dong and the other two instantly disintegrated.
"Oh no, it feels like my body has been hollowed out," Tang Dong said weakly, his body swaying precariously, clearly exhausted.
In an instant, the martial spirits and soul power of the three were all imprisoned, just like ordinary people.
"Alright, three minutes are up, it's time for you all to step down." Jiang Xiu turned his gaze to the time on the soul guide screen, a slight smile playing on his lips, and casually tapped the screen with his slender fingers.
"What do you want to do?!" As Jiang Xiu finished speaking, Tang Dong and the other two discovered that their respective shadows had summoned their martial souls! Their scarlet eyes were filled with madness.
"Break Yin and Yang, reverse the universe!"
"Extreme Ice! Instant Kill!"
"The Enchanting Fox Devours the Heart!"
The spirit rings lit up, and a powerful spirit skill was suddenly unleashed!
The three of them looked on in horror. What on earth was this thing that could even use their soul skills? And they knew all too well how powerful their soul skills were.
Extreme cold pierces the sky, allure is like mist, and the universe shakes.
Just as the three were about to be enveloped by the soul skill, Tang Dong's lips moved, and he finally shouted out those humiliating three words:
"I give up!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The next moment, a violent explosion rang out, and dust filled the sky. An old figure stood in front of Tang Dong and the other two, and with his withered hand extended, a solid dark green barrier instantly unfolded, blocking the violent storm of soul power.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, the scene inside the arena came into view of the trainees.
On the vast arena, Jiang Xiu stood tall in the center, his blood-red eyes now turned purple, exuding an air of nobility. The golden sunlight shone through the dark clouds, falling on Jiang Xiu's body, bringing with it a dazzling, scale-like brilliance. Jiang Xiu was like a drawn sword, radiating intense fighting spirit.
Tang Dong and his two companions had somehow fallen to the edge of the arena, their faces pale and showing signs of exhaustion. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Elder Li had just unleashed a storm of soul power, knocking the three of them over...
Tang Dong then understood what Jiang Xiu's unique gaze meant earlier; it was clearly the look one would give a clown!
Upon seeing this scene, many Shrek Academy students stood up, their eyes filled with shock and admiration as they looked at Jiang Xiu.
On his very first day at Shrek Academy, he defeated the three strongest geniuses from the outer academy, and the three geniuses even joined forces together, which was unprecedented in the entire history of Shrek Academy!
"What kind of monster is this? This combat power is probably comparable to that of our ancestor Huo Yuhao when he was young, ten thousand years ago." Old Li looked at Jiang Xiu in the center, his cloudy eyes filled with amazement.
But when he noticed the gazes of the students around him, his expression immediately became somewhat awkward.
This assessment was clearly orchestrated by them to suppress Jiang Xiu's arrogance and to showcase the profound heritage of Shrek Academy.
But now, it has become the platform for Jiang Xiu to establish his authority and fame.
They really climbed to the top by stepping on them!
Even in the next five years, and until Jiang Xiu reaches the pinnacle, the talents of Shrek Academy will be suppressed.
This time, the attempt to steal a chicken backfired and resulted in a loss for the whole family!
Jiang Xiu glanced indifferently at the three people who had fallen to the ground, then looked around at the arena. His gaze was calm as still water, yet the surrounding students dared not look him in the eye.
"Anything else you want to challenge? I'm in a hurry."
His words were spoken in a calm tone, yet they sounded incredibly arrogant, but none of the Shrek Academy students around him responded.
Within the ninth assessment zone, which had over a thousand participants, everyone remained silent, trembling with fear.
"Challenge? You're the challenger." Old Li looked at Jiang Xiu, his lips twitching violently, and thought angrily to himself.
It's true that you came with ill intentions, but you're clearly the one who came!
"Ahem..." Elder Li coughed twice and said to Jiang Xiu, "Alright, since the three of them have admitted defeat, I hereby declare that Jiang Xiu has passed the ninth test with a perfect score!"
"Jiang Xiu, the Shadow Lord! Jiang Xiu, the Shadow Lord! Jiang Xiu, the Shadow Lord!"
As Elder Li's voice fell, the students of Shrek Academy around him spontaneously stood up and shouted, just as they had shouted for Tang Dong and the other two before the competition. They admired the strong as well.
Tomorrow, the name of Yingjun Jiang Xiu will appear at the top of the Federation's list of genius teenagers.
"I still lost... I'm not reconciled. I still have my battle armor..." Tang Dong gritted his teeth, his expression somewhat agitated.
"Alright, that's enough fooling your brothers, don't fool yourself too." Li Qiankun patted him on the shoulder and pulled him up from the ground.
Tang Dong's ultimate attribute martial soul naturally requires slow cultivation. As far as he knows, Tang Dong's One-Word Battle Armor hasn't even been perfected yet.
"I'll accept my loss." Nangong Yao shrugged and said in a relaxed tone. Although there was a hint of resentment in her beautiful eyes, she had already lost.
"But Junior Jiang is really hard, it hurts me a lot." Nangong Yao touched her aching lower abdomen, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and thought to herself.
In the stands, the blond-haired youth, Yue Zhengyu, his face slightly flushed, looked at Jiang Xiu on the field and couldn't help but sigh, "A true man should be like this!"
"Butler." As he spoke, Le Zhengyu looked at an old man beside him.
"Young Master!" the old man replied kindly.
"Is this the disciple of the master craftsman my father mentioned? Before returning home to receive the inheritance, I would like to get to know him," Yue Zhengyu said excitedly.
He never expected to meet such a young powerhouse before he left Shrek Academy. As a member of the Angel Family, he always respected the strong, and his father had also entrusted him with this task.
"I will follow the young master's arrangements." The old man replied calmly. He had only come to Shrek Academy to take Le Zhengyu home and would not interfere in anything else. Besides, the family head had already given instructions.
"Very strong." Yuan Enhui sat quietly in her seat, a hint of longing flashing in her wine-red eyes.
If she also had that kind of power, would she be able to fight back against her family and question that person about why they destroyed her happy family?
"Sigh, whatever, what belongs to others will always belong to others. Strengthening oneself is the right thing to do." Yuan Enhui shook his head firmly, then got up to leave.
After watching the game, she had to go back to her life.
"Yuan En, do you want to go clean up Lingbing Square together?" At this moment, a girl called out to Yuan En Ye Hui, who was about to leave.
"No, I need to go cultivate," Yuan En Hui replied calmly, waving her hand.
Upon hearing this, the girl said with some regret, "Oh, well, there were supposed to be credits for cleaning up the Spirit Ice Plaza this time..."
"Let's go." Before she could finish speaking, Yuan Enhui had already stood in front of her.
At Shrek Academy, credits can be exchanged for cultivation resources, but coming from the Yuanen family, she has to rely on herself for everything.
"Huh? Oh, oh." The girl almost didn't react, but she didn't say anything more. She knew that Yuanen was very short of money, very, very short...
On the competition stage.
After making his announcement, Old Li glared at Tang Dong and the other two, then slipped away.
The three could only manage a wry smile; it seemed their chances of getting into the inner academy had become even more difficult.
"Let's go, Jiang. As for the professional assessment, since you are a master-level blacksmith, you don't need to take the assessment and will pass with full marks."
"So, all you need to do now is pass the last hurdle."
Shen Yi strolled over to Jiang Xiu's side and said with a smile.
For some reason, watching Jiang Xiu fight his way here, she felt a strange sense of excitement, even though she was clearly a member of Shrek Academy.
"Pah! I am loyal!" Shen Yi suppressed his excitement and said firmly.
"The final hurdle? The Three-Eyed Golden Lion?" Jiang Xiu's purple eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.
He already knew about Shrek Academy's assessment, one of which was the illusion test to examine the soul master's heart.
"The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, what a pity..."
Thinking of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Jiang Xiu sighed inwardly. Back then, the Tang God King divided his daughter's divine consciousness into two parts: one was Wang Dong, and the other was placed into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's spiritual sea. In the end, the two were combined and merged to create Tang Wutong.
Suppressing his thoughts, Jiang Xiu followed Shen Yi. No matter what, once he passed this final hurdle, he could enter Shrek Academy, find Ya Li, and then quickly enter the Golden Tree to find Elder Jin.
That was his ultimate purpose in coming to Shrek Academy.
As Jiang Xiu left, the Shrek Academy students in the surrounding stands also left one after another.
"Sister Xinglan, what are you going to do?" Xu Lizhi asked hurriedly as he saw Ye Xinglan get up.
"I'm going to find Jiang Xiu. You saw it just now. He's very strong, strong enough that I can only look up to him now," Ye Xinglan said without hesitation, her eyes shining with determination.
Recalling the way Xinglan looked at Jiang Xiu just now, Xu Lizhi felt another wave of grief.
"Sister Xinglan, he's still taking the assessment..." Xu Lizhi advised.
"Thank you, I was just about to ask him where he went." Ye Xinglan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she thanked him.
"Huh?" Xu Lizhi's lips twitched, and he wished he could hit himself a couple of times.
Ye Xinglan's figure quickly disappeared from his sight, but just as Xu Lizhi was feeling sad, Ye Xinglan came back, her pretty face even showing a hint of embarrassment...
