"Tear them to shreds!", The moment the beginning was declared, the leader of Fiend Team yelled as all the other members roared.
They activated their first Spirit Abilities as they pounced at the members of Shrek's Demonic Generation.
The crowd was screaming loudly, screaming profanities, but Tang San and the others were unfazed. Tang San coldly looked at the Fiend Team as they come closer, once they are close enough, Tang San states a simple word, "Loose!".
Everyone pulled the trigger of their Godly Zhuge Crossbow, together, the crossbows let out a sound that could only be likened to an animals snarl as 112 crossbow bolts shot out of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow's at incredible speeds.
The whistling sound from each of the crossbow bolts sounded like an army of wasps angrily chasing down their enemy.
The Fiend Team had already made it a couple metres forward when the Godly Zhuge Crossbow's were shot. As Spirit Masters of the fortieth level, they could see the crossbow bolts raining down on them, but instead of dodging or using more powerful Spirit Abilities, they guarded their vitals and increased their speed.
The Fiend Team could never think that such a weak team would have anything up their sleeve that have enough power to kill them, and their strategy has always been to charge directly at the opponents and engage in a bloody battle, no matter how strong they were.
However, this proved to be their downfall today,
Pupupupupu—
Clouds of blood puffed into the air as the crossbow bolt's pierced through the members of Fiend Team. As if organised prior, the entire arena went quiet the moment the bolt's pierced through.
Due to their momentum, the Fiend Team members still charged a couple metres while riddled in holes.
Tingtingtingting—
The crossbow bolt's continued to fly across the arena before lodging themselves firmly in the wall of the arena, as spiderweb-like cracks appeared.
I left the VIP lounge to go meet them, they are also blanked out from the power of the Godly Zhuge Crossbows and hadn't moved since they pulled the trigger.
Yu Xiao Gang and the other's follow me out of the VIP lounge, Yu Xiao Gang wanted to test their mental fortitude with this battle, and already prepared for what is to come.
The members of the Fiend Team finally crashed to the ground after a couple seconds, blood flowing out of multiple holes in their body, causing them to look like a sieve.
The blood flowed onto the arena floor, dying the centre of the arena red. They all knew that the Godly Zhuge Crossbow was strong, and they were betting on it to win, however, they still weren't prepared for something like this.
Even Tang San, who was more prepared than the others, had a twitch in his eye as he looked at their dead bodies.
Each of them woke up one after another as they covered their mouths and ran away to the arena entrance, only Tang San, Mu Bai and Xiao Wu were left standing on the arena.
"I'll go and see Little Qing…" Mu Bai had a slightly strange voice. Tang San nodded his head as Mu Bai rigidly walked off the stage.
Tang San looked to the announcer, in a deadpan voice, he asked, "Can you declare the results of the fight?"
The announcer was broken out of his stupor when he heard Tang San's voice, he looked down and realised he had peed his pants. He hurriedly announced, "Tea-team Spirit Fight, Shrek's Demonic Generation versus Fiend Team, Fiend Team eliminated. Level Surpassing Challenge successful!"
Hearing the announcer declare the victor, Tang San took Xiao Wu's hand and left the stage.
I made my way to the back stage where the others would be waiting. Soon, Qing'er ran in as she pulled off her mask and started vomiting.
Rong Rong was the next to come in as she also took off her mask and started vomiting, I went to her side and gently pet her back.
"Brother Wulin… I killed someo—blurgh!" Rong Rong was crying as she held tightly onto my arms, she vomited on my chest, but I ignored it. I had to deal with this when I first got Little Yue and Feng Feng to kill someone.
The others also came in and started vomiting, except for Tang San and Mu Bai. I stroke Rong Rong's back as I talk to them.
"Today, you guys have killed people. They were a savage and merciless team that deserved death, but it doesn't change the fact that they were living people." They only felt worse when I said that, but they can't forget it.
"In the past, I told you guys that you would kill one day, whether it is to protect yourself or to protect others. If you did not kill the Fiend Team today, it would be you guys on the floor of the arena." I said.
"What kind of formidable Spirit Master does not have blood on his hands. This is just another test for you guys. Mu Bai, are you willing to let Qing'er end up like the Fiend Team?" I look at Mu Bai.
Mu Bai was a bit shocked when I asked him and looked to Qing'er. Right now, she looked very weak and delicate as she has tears in her eyes. Mu Bai is dazed when he looks at her frail appearance, completely opposite to her usual cold and strong looks.
An evil light burst through Mu Bai's eyes as intense killing intent surged out of his body. His originally slouched back straightened as he appeared very domineering, "I am not willing! If the world wants to kill Little Qing, then I will first slaughter the world! As long as I breathe, so too will Little Qing."
Mu Bai's killing intent and domineering statement made its way into the heart of the others, they began to think if they would also kill again to protect their loved ones.
Each of them gradually came to the conclusion that they would kill. In order to protect the lives of their loved ones, they are willing to kill their enemies like the Fiend Team.
They were able to stop themselves from vomiting, and tried to put on a determined expression, causing them to look extremely ugly and disgusting.
Xiao Wu was a little better than the others. Even though she is a herbivorous Spirit Beast, she also understood the rules of the jungle, as her two friends Da Ming and Er Ming are carnivorous.
Yu Xiao Gang also came in, he saw that they had already stopped vomiting and was shocked. He nodded with appreciation as he said, "It's good that all of you have this kind of determination. This crisis isn't something others can help you with, you can only rely on your own willpower. Let's quickly leave and get some rest, we still have to travel tomorrow."
Under my Illusion, we leave to the hotel we are staying at, and everyone goes straight to bed. Although they are not tired physically, the mental burden of killing a person is very tiring for them, who have just killed their first human.
The next morning, we quietly left Silver's City before the sky was bright. The others still had a slightly pale complexion, but it is much better compared to yesterday, they are even joking around a bit.
Flander didn't push them and just went at a normal pace, he also chose slightly better places to stay at, but couldn't escape his miserly attitude and still booked only three rooms.
On the night of the eighth day, we arrived at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, luckily, Rong Rong knew where the academy is because she often went to play there when she was little.
Her clan is also near the Imperial Academy, so she will be able to go home to visit her parents when we have vacations, and I will be visiting as the son-in-law. Though I don't plan to visit until after the Continental Tournament, since we will be busy cultivating and preparing.
Rong Rong is both happy and nervous for me to go visit her clan. She said that when she sent her father the letter of marriage, he almost sent the entire Clan to go exterminate me, but was able to hold himself back, since, in his words, 'He will be sending himself into a tiger's den, all I have to do is wait.'
I'm sure he already knows that the rice is cooked, since Rong Rong sleeps in my room every night, as doting of a father as he is, he constantly has Spirit Masters monitoring Rong Rong.
Well, I'm not too scared of him since he wouldn't do anything to make Rong Rong hate him. I might just get pulled into a couple 'friendly' spars with those Titled Douluo's protecting the sect.
Currently, we are walking around a mountain and Flander couldn't help but feel a little confused, "Didn't you say you know where Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is, how did we end up walking up a mountain?"
Rong Rong shook her head, and looked at Flander with disdain, "Of course I know where the Imperial Academy is, this mountain belongs to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy! Everything around here, including the lake at the foot of the mountain belongs to the Imperial Academy. We will be entering the Academy grounds soon."
Flander was shocked, 'how could an academy own an entire mountain range?! I struggle to even keep ownership of my bed!'
But before walking a couple more steps, trouble arrived.
A small group of eighteen to nineteen-year-old Spirit Masters blocked the way, from the look of their uniforms, it was easy to tell that they were students of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
The leader of these students was a grandly dressed man with a pompous appearance, he looked at us arrogantly as he said, "Who are you to stand around here?"
Flander ignored the student leaders attitude and grandly said, "We're Shrek Academy. Complying with the invitation sent by Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, we are here for the exchange. Student, please lead the way."
The leader inspected everyone's appearances, obviously not believing Flander's words, "You think you can trick me with petty words? To me, you look like beggars from somewhere, yet you say you are here for an exchange? Hurry and get lost, otherwise we'll have to use force." He had a disdainful look on his face.
Although our appearances were a little dusty from travelling, it is nowhere near the level of being beggars on the street.
This student obviously judges people by the cost of their clothing, but this is to be expected since very few people rely on their ability to enter Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
Most students have to rely on their connections and noble titles to enrol in the Academy, in reality, they lack talent and flaunt their title of a Heaven Dou Imperial Academy student around.
Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is claimed to be the strongest academy in Heaven Dou Empire, but their reputation is crushed by these idiotic nobles, and they are lacking in strength to back up their claim.
Everyone here just wanted to get into Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and get some rest because they are tired from all this travelling. But this student barres our way, insults us, and threatens to force us out?
The anger of Shrek Academy has already reached the heavens with the arrogant words of the pompous student leader.
Mu Bai was never a good-tempered person, and with this person insulting not just him, but all of his teachers and friends, he could not endure this.
Pang-!
Mu Bai swiftly flickered in front of Flander and gave a powerful kick to the pompous student leader, sending him flying a couple metres, before releasing his Spirit.
The Heaven Dou Academy students were frightened when Mu Bai kicked the student leader and were even more frightened when they saw his Spirit Rings.
Seeing the three Spirit Ring's floating above Mu Bai's head, they lost their heads in fear. They are only noble children who have no talent in cultivation and enrolled in the Imperial Academy due to their connections.
Faced with the domineering Mu Bai, they didn't even have the thought to fight back and quickly ran away. However, with Mu Bai's temperament, how could he allow them to just leave. He chased down a couple who were slow to retreat and started beating them up.
Flander and the other teachers frowned a bit when seeing this. They weren't mad at Mu Bai's actions, but instead disappointed in the qualities of these Imperial Academy students, they are just too weak and have no guts!
After watching Mu Bai beat the students for a little while, Flander felt it was time to stop him, "Mu Bai, enough."
Mu Bai stopped and looked at the crying and beaten students with an evil light in his eyes, "Let's see who really gets lost!"
Suddenly, another voice is heard, "What's going on here, why is there so much noise?" A big and burly man appeared from behind the trees. He looked to be around the same age and Flander and had the air of an expert.
(A/N:
Third Spirit Ability: Monkey Emperor Transformation
Skill Description: Transform into the monkey emperor, gaining a boost in Power, Speed, and Defense. It looks like a Silver haired version of Vasto Lorde Ichigo.
White: 30% Increase to Power, Speed, Defense. High Spirit Power consumption.
Yellow: 60% increase to Power, Speed, Defense. High Spirit Power consumption.
Purple: 90% increase to Power, Speed, Defense. Medium Spirit Power consumption.
Black: 120% increase to Power, Speed, Defense. Medium Spirit Power consumption.
Red: 150% increase to Power, Speed, Defense. Low Spirit Power consumption.
Gold: 300% increase to Power, Speed, Defense. Spirit Power consumption lowered immensely.
Keep in mind that Speed is not the same as Agility or Dexterity, this is just moving faster.
Power is your physical strength, which is why Wulin's base physical strength is so important.
Defense is just how durable your body is.
At 1,000,000-years-old the Monkey Emperor Transformation can last indefinitely, the Spirit Power Consumption is low enough to last a whole day, and can just cultivate Spirit Power back up when running low.
Has reached its limit, but has potential to evolve once Wulin's Spirit mutates again. Any further years on the Spirit Ring will decrease Spirit Power Consumption.)
Here is today's chapter!
My favourite apocalypse has always been a zombie apocalypse like God and Devil World, so I hope all of you can help me in mass wishing for the apocalypse for Christmas.
In return, I will post a double chapter for Christmas, please and thank you.
Thanks for reading!
