A blood-colored energy giant axe over five meters in diameter descended from the sky, splitting even the air in two and forming visible white waves that continuously slammed against the blue barrier around the main spirit arena.
“The World-Honored One is finished!”
“Why isn’t he running?”
“There’s too little time.
Maybe he can’t make it!”
“That’s fine too.
At least we won’t run into him at the tournament later.”
In the audience stands, some sighed, some felt regret, some cried out in alarm, and some felt relieved.
“Dragon Fist—”
But at the moment everyone thought Wu Ming was certain to die, a clear dragon roar rang out deep in their hearts, then spread through their entire bodies, causing every strand of cells within the people present to pulse in an extremely strange manner.
“Explode!”
Boom!
Wu Ming threw a punch!
Just one punch!
The air exploded!
Afterward, with that raised fist as the center, white spiral patterns spread outward, twisting the air.
The airflow wrapped around the falling blood-colored energy giant axe, faintly forming a coiling azure dragon that spiraled upward.
Wherever it passed, strands of golden flame actually ignited in the air.
Roar!
The blood-colored energy giant axe shattered and dispersed in midair.
The invisible force of Dragon Fist twisted upward and struck Meng Li, who was holding the Blood Fiend Axe.
Crack!
His Martial Soul shattered!
Crack!
His fleshly body broke apart!
Under everyone’s disbelieving gazes, Meng Li’s flesh and blood seemed to be washed away by an invisible force.
His skin and flesh tore apart, his internal organs dissolved, and even his bones turned to powder.
Crack!
The defensive barrier released by the defensive spirit tool collapsed.
The scattering energy formed a burst of intense white light, stabbing everyone’s eyes until they could not open them.
Only Wu Ming had sharp eyes.
Taking advantage of the instant when everyone was blinded by the white light, he leapt into the air where Meng Li had been and grabbed the Spirit Bone shaped like a spine, along with a gourd-shaped storage spirit tool.
By the time the white light faded—
Wu Ming had already landed back on the ground, still holding the same punching posture as before.
At this moment.
A large hole over twenty meters in diameter had been blasted open in the ceiling directly above the main spirit arena.
The noon sunlight poured down through it, illuminating Wu Ming like a sacred being.
Confident!
Arrogant!
That towering figure was reflected in everyone’s eyes.
It made Ning Rongrong’s heart pound.
That was what a true Spirit Master was!
Even Xiao Wu was unconsciously drawn to Wu Ming, her heart suddenly beating hard.
It was a flutter she had never felt even after living together with Tang San for six years.
That was the instinct to pass down more outstanding genes!
“World-Honored One!”
“World-Honored One!!”
“World-Honored One!!!”
Applause, shouts, and cheers echoed throughout the entire venue.
Manager Ao’s mouth hung open.
Only after a long while did he loudly announce, “The World-Honored One has won!
He won!
At the realm of Spirit Elder, he defeated nine Spirit Ancestors, and even defeated a Spirit King!
Let us cheer for him!”
In an instant.
Even more thunderous applause and shouts erupted.
Everyone was cheering for Wu Ming!
As for the lives of Fiend Team’s members…
At this moment, no one cared.
“Was that… a self-created Spirit Ability?”
The geniuses of the Four Element Academies all had extraordinary backgrounds and knew of the existence of self-created Spirit Abilities.
But a self-created Spirit Ability that could let someone cross two major realms—
They had never heard of such a thing!
“That wasn’t just a self-created Spirit Ability.
It was also the result of his Martial Soul cultivation.
That punch contained everything he had: physical strength, Spirit Power, and even some kind of spiritual power that cannot be clearly explained.”
The leading teacher of Blazing Academy looked extremely serious.
“The power contained in that move—forget a Spirit King, even a Spirit Sage might not be able to withstand it.”
Huo Wushuang was dumbfounded.
Looking again at Wu Ming, who was still posing with his fist out in the center of the arena, his body actually began to tremble unconsciously.
Could he really catch up to a… monster like that?
“Huo Wu, why don’t we give up?” Seeing Huo Wu’s eyes a little dazed, Huo Wushuang sighed and advised, “He’s too powerful.
Two years from now, we can just think of a way to take second place.”
“What?”
Huo Wu was startled awake, but then looked at Wu Ming again and said, “At the moment he threw that punch, I sensed my Martial Soul suddenly pulse, as though it had produced some strange resonance with his Martial Soul… My Martial Soul and his have the possibility of a Martial Soul Fusion Ability.”
“Really?”
Huo Wushuang’s eyes suddenly lit up—
So what if they could not beat Wu Ming?
They could turn Wu Ming into his brother-in-law!
“I’m not in the mood to joke with you, Brother.” Huo Wu’s gaze toward Wu Ming became somewhat complicated.
“He’s just a little young.”
He’s only five years younger than you.
The age gap isn’t that big.” Huo Wushuang had already begun thinking of ways to persuade his sister to win Wu Ming over in the future…
…
Amid the audience’s cheers, Wu Ming returned to the VIP box, removed his mask, accepted the Sweet Mushroom Sausage Oscar handed over, then had Ma Hongjun buy him a large pile of food.
In front of Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others, he once again staged a performance of Taotie-like eating.
In less than ten minutes, the food in front of Wu Ming had been completely consumed, and his exhaustion had fully recovered.
His Spirit Power even rose by one rank, reaching rank 38.
That Dragon Fist explosion earlier had not been simple.
Wu Ming had gathered Innate Nine Dragons True Qi into his Martial Soul Spine, combined it with the power accumulated from running and leaping, then used the vast righteous qi in his chest to gather it all at the edge of his fist.
The instant it erupted, it also widened his meridians, allowing him to complete the breakthrough.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely have to recuperate for a while, but with the Big Eater (Yellow) talent, plus Oscar’s second Spirit Ability, his recovery speed was extremely fast.
Even his fully exhausted Spirit Power had completely recovered.
[Name (???): Special talent, level cannot be defined… Through your own efforts, you have created the name of World-Honored One, spreading it in all directions and gaining vast fame.
You can receive the blessing of faith and fate from the unseen.]
After obtaining this talent, Wu Ming keenly sensed an extremely special power blessing his body, causing every cell throughout him to pulse in a highly harmonious way.
He was full of energy, and his logical thinking grew clearer and clearer.
[Faith is the foundation for Spirit Masters on Douluo Continent to become gods.
The Angel God and Sea God both forged their divine positions with faith.
I didn’t expect the “Name” talent to let me collect the power of faith in advance!]
After finishing the final bite of beef, Wu Ming also calmed the excitement in his heart and said to the six people whose faces were full of worship and longing, “Don’t worship this bro.
This bro is merely a legend.”
Tang San froze for a moment, then smiled and said, “Boss Wu really is humorous.”
[Humorous (White): As soon as you open your mouth, you can break a tense or serious atmosphere, lightening people’s heavy moods.
You are a well-liked source of joy.]
Wu Ming did not pay much attention to this talent that could improve his verbal skill.
He merely glanced at the wall clock in the box and smiled.
“Let’s go.
It’s almost 1:00 in the afternoon.
If we’re late to our first class, our dean will assign punishment homework.”
Everyone was startled.
They looked at the wall clock and saw there were still ten minutes before 1:00, then immediately left the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena together with Wu Ming.
“Where is he?”
When Manager Ao arrived, Wu Ming’s figure was already gone.
He could not help feeling annoyed, but he immediately instructed the staff to wait at the entrance.
He knew Shrek Academy’s dean would bring the other students here tonight to participate in spirit fights.
He only needed to wait for the rabbit by the stump.
Wu Ming had already displayed his strength!
And won the bet!
He would sponsor Shrek Academy!
