Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Gathering of the Strong
"Monsters?"
"Monsters?"
"Monsters?"
All the masked men froze, muttering in disbelief. Seeing these youths with such strength and at such a young age was enough to strike fear even in the hearts of Spirit Hall's elite. None of their own prodigies could match this level.
"Why stop? Continue!" Mu Chen commanded.
"Understood!"
The Shrek Eleven responded in unison, each unleashing their unique skills and re-engaging the enemy with unrelenting ferocity.
Boom
A loud explosion sounded as rocks and debris scattered. The blocked passage between the academies was cleared, revealing Ye Leng Leng and Dugu Yan amidst the dust.
Boom
Another passage was forcefully reopened, revealing two more figures.
"Bing'er, Yue'er," Mu Chen called out.
The two figures turned out to be Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er from Tianshui Academy.
"Worrying over nothing. I knew he'd be fine," Shui Bing'er murmured with a smile upon seeing Mu Chen standing unharmed.
"Leng Leng, Yan Yan, Yue Yue, Bing'er, since you're here, why not join the fight?" Mu Chen said calmly.
"Alright, as expected of our Tang Sect Master."
Shui Bing'er chuckled before dashing forward to join Xiao Wu, Xue Ke, Jiang Zhu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and others in the battle.
"Boss Flender."
Standing nearby, Liu Erlong glanced at Flender and asked, "Are we just going to watch?"
"What else?" Flender replied, but his answer was interrupted by a gravelly voice.
"Dugu senior. You're here as well," Liu Erlong greeted respectfully.
"We're getting on in years. It's time for the younger generation to shine. The future of the spirit world belongs to them," said the Poison Douluo, watching the juniors fight with an almost unsettling ease and skill.
"Some still think the world is theirs to control. This might be a good reminder," added another gruff voice.
"Serpent Grandmother!"
"Dragon Duke!"
Liu Erlong and Flender exclaimed in unison.
Following Poison Douluo were none other than the renowned Serpent Grandmother and Dragon Duke, the illustrious couple who were also the grandparents of Shrek's Meng Yiran.
"Why are all three of you here?" Liu Erlong asked, surprised.
"This region may be a no-man's land between the empires, but it's under Spirit Hall's sway. No ordinary thieves would dare operate here," Dragon Duke Meng Shu analyzed.
"If anyone moved to attack, it could only be because their interests were threatened. And among the academies here, Shrek Academy is the only one capable of such a threat," Serpent Grandmother Chao Tianxiang added to the analysis.
Fifth Spirit Skill: Tortoise Shell Defense
Facing Zhu Zhuqing's attacks, a Soul Douluo unleashed his fifth spirit skill, creating an impenetrable golden tortoise shell with his spirit power.
Wind God Leg
"So tough!" Zhu Zhuqing frowned, realizing her strikes had little effect against the thick shell. The kick's backlash reverberated painfully through her leg.
"Let me handle this!" Shui Bing'er stepped forward, a mischievous grin on her face, pointing a finger at the tortoise shell.
True Thousand-Year Kill
"Ah!"
A yelp of shock echoed from within the golden shell as Shui Bing'er's attack hit its mark.
Afterward, Shui Bing'er glanced over her shoulder at Mu Chen, flashing a playful, defiant look before continuing her assault with a relentless barrage of pokes.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"What… what is this? My… my... Ah! What kind of skill is this that ignores my physical defense?"
The Soul Douluo within the tortoise shell stammered, unable to comprehend how his strongest defense was being penetrated by such an unorthodox attack.
"Damn it! Toying with me by... targeting that spot!" Enraged, the Soul Douluo activated his sixth spirit ring, glowing black with power.
Sixth Spirit Skill: Gear Edge Armor
The previously stationary tortoise shell began spinning at high speed, whirling toward Shui Bing'er with deadly intent.
First Spirit Skill: Ice Seal
Reacting quickly, Shui Bing'er's spirit skill encased the rotating shell in thick ice.
Crash
The ice held for barely a second before shattering under the Soul Douluo's immense power.
"Little girl, you think you can freeze me? Naive!" The Soul Douluo's voice sneered from within the spiraling shell, which now closed in on Shui Bing'er.
Third Spirit Skill: Resist Ice Ring
A frigid shockwave exploded outward, slightly slowing the approaching shell, but it wasn't enough to stop it.
With only four spirit rings, Shui Bing'er was outmatched by the high-level Soul Douluo.
"Sister!"
Shui Yue'er cried out in alarm.
Mystic Skill: Suction Palm
In that moment of crisis, a powerful suction force pulled Shui Bing'er back and into Mu Chen's arms, out of harm's way.
"Uh…"
Shui Bing'er looked back at Mu Chen, her cheeks flushing as she realized she'd been saved once again. Embarrassed but defiant, she slipped from his embrace. "Who… who asked for your help? I hadn't even used Eight Extremes Collapse yet!"
Sixth Spirit Skill: Golden Wings Armor
"Rongrong!"
Flender shouted urgently as he spotted Ning Rongrong facing a Soul Douluo who had activated his sixth spirit skill. A golden glow emanated from the Soul Douluo, casting a formidable aura that forced Ning Rongrong to pause.
Fifth Spirit Skill: Golden Wing Shadow Clone
The Soul Douluo's fifth spirit ring shone brightly, creating a dozen golden wings that shot toward Ning Rongrong like guided missiles.
Crash
One wing missed her but cleaved a massive boulder nearby in two, leaving a deep furrow in the ground.
Ning Rongrong realized the danger, as the wings moved with intent, shifting trajectories to corner her. Should she be surrounded, even her mastery of Eight Extremes Collapse might not save her.
Seeing her predicament, Flender's combat instincts kicked in, his worry evident.
Mystic Skill: Suction Palm
At the last possible secon
d, Ning Rongrong was pulled backward by a powerful force, and she landed safely in Mu Chen's embrace, just as Shui Bing'er had moments earlier.
