Soto City, Shrek Academy!
On the dilapidated playground.
A chubby figure was curled up on the ground, his round face scrunched up into a ball, his forehead covered in fine sweat, and his whole body slightly numb.
He was none other than the Genius student of Shrek Academy, the future Evil Fire Phoenix, Ma Hongjun.
At this moment, his whole body was tingling and itching all over.
He wailed at the top of his lungs, his tone full of entreaty.
“Brother Yun, I beg you!”
“Hurry up and detoxify me!”
“If this drags on any longer, this leg of mine is going to be crippled!”
“I was wrong, I won’t ever dare to do it again!”
Not far in front of him stood a tall, straight-backed youth with handsome features.
The youth looked to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and a clean temperament.
A simple white martial uniform set off his neat and upright figure, with an indistinct fluctuation of spirit power lingering around his body.
The youth was named Qin Yun.
No one knew that he actually did not belong to this Douluo Continent at all.
He came from Blue Star, and in his past life, he was a chemistry major at a key university.
An unexpected accident brought him here.
Eight years ago, six-year-old Qin Yun shone brilliantly at the Spirit Awakening ceremony.
The children at the scene awakened one after another, most of them being ordinary and unremarkable Spirits like sickles, hoes, and flowers, and there was even no shortage of trash Spirits with no cultivation value at all.
Yet when it was Qin Yun’s turn, the atmosphere of the entire audience instantly froze.
An illusory chart glowing with a pearly white micro-light and densely engraved with mysterious patterns on its surface quietly hovered above his palm.
It turned out to be a complete Periodic Table encompassing one hundred and eighteen chemical elements of the World!
The Spirit Hall deacon present had never seen such a bizarre Spirit and had no idea of its specific abilities.
However, the vast and mysterious aura emanating invisibly was enough for everyone to conclude that this was definitely an ancient and rare Heaven-Defying Spirit.
What was even more shocking was that Qin Yun had Innate full spirit power!
Subsequently, he was discovered by the principal of Shrek Academy, Flender.
He was forcibly brought back to Shrek Academy.
At that time, Qin Yun was still young, his body immature and weak.
In this Douluo World where the weak were prey to the strong and the strong were respected, he had not the slightest room for resistance or choice, and could only obediently follow Flender away.
Eight years of time slipped away in a hurry, passing in a flash.
Fairly speaking, Flender’s teaching level was not considered top-notch, and could even be called rough and crude.
He had studied the cultivation Systems of conventional Spirits all his life and had never seen such an unimaginable Spirit as the Periodic Table, completely unable to provide Qin Yun with any systematic cultivation guidance.
For the past eight years, Qin Yun’s cultivation, Spirit development, and exploration of element ratios could only rely entirely on his chemical knowledge from his past life, studying and grinding it out bit by bit on his own.
But undeniably, the money-loving and short-defending Flender treated him quite well.
He escorted his cultivation and ran around everywhere to find a matching spirit ring for him.
After eight years of dedicated and bitter cultivation, Qin Yun thoroughly grasped the basic mysteries of the Periodic Table Martial Soul step by step.
Just moments ago, his long-dormant spirit power finally broke through the shackles once again, successfully breaking through the Bottleneck and steadily stepping into the realm of a level 40 Spirit Ancestor from the Peak level 39 Spirit Elder, welcoming a qualitative leap in his own strength.
As for Ma Hongjun, he was naturally also brought to the academy by Flender.
When he first entered the academy, he held the top-tier Beast Spirit, Evil Fire Phoenix, and his Heart-Nature was arrogant and flamboyant.
At that time, he considered himself invincible with a top-tier Spirit.
Looking at Qin Yun, who had a gentle temperament and seemed completely unaggressive, his heart was full of contempt, provoking him publicly and mocking him with words.
He felt that Qin Yun’s Spirit was flashy and couldn’t compare to his own Phoenix True Fire at all.
Ma Hongjun took the initiative to issue a challenge.
As soon as he made a move, he used his full strength, and the crimson Phoenix flames burned fiercely, sweeping across the entire field.
Facing the scorching flames rushing towards him, Qin Yun’s expression was calm, neither dodging nor avoiding, and the Spirit within his body quietly awakened.
He lightly raised his fingertips, and the countless nitrogen elements permeating the air were instantly awakened by his spirit power, rapidly gathering with him as the center of the circle, constructing a thick and dense nitrogen barrier in the blink of an eye.
Enveloping the rushing Phoenix flames completely within it.
The violent flames rushed left and right within the nitrogen layer, attempting to burn everything, but nitrogen was extremely inert to begin with; no matter how high the temperature climbed, it could not ignite this barrier by even a fraction.
Ultimately, under absolute inert suppression, it shrank step by step, and within three to five breaths, the Phoenix flames turned into a wisp of blue smoke and dissipated.
Ma Hongjun’s eyes widened in shock; his proud evil fire was actually extinguished so casually just like that?
Yet before he could recover from his astonishment,
Qin Yun had already completed the precise proportioning of a new round of elements.
spirit power flowed between his fingertips, precisely blending the trace fluorine and phosphorus elements drifting in the air, turning them into a trace of transparent, invisible, odorless, and tasteless faint mist.
It neither showed form nor left a trace, quietly infiltrating along the pores of Ma Hongjun’s exposed skin, then flowing upstreaming along the Meridians, blocking several key acupoints around his body in an inch of time, sealing his spirit power tightly.
Ma Hongjun only felt a chill on his back, as if a few ice needles had pierced into his bone marrow, followed by a sour numbness coming from his limbs and bones, and the operation of his spirit power suddenly became stagnant.
He staggered forward half a step, fell heavily to the ground with a plop, and then fell face down into the dust, leaving only heavy panting echoing in the empty martial training ground.
From the challenge to the defeat, it was barely the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.
A clean and neat crushing instantly shattered Ma Hongjun’s arrogance.
Of course, in private, Ma Hongjun always inevitably ran his mouth.
Regarding this bit of cursing from Ma Hongjun, Qin Yun had long been fully aware of it.
This Fatty had always been talkative and bullied the soft while fearing the hard; today’s punishment could also be considered a small lesson for him to make him remember it well.
Most importantly, he wanted to find someone to test the toxins he had recently explored.
Listening to Ma Hongjun’s exaggerated wails,
Qin Yun glanced at him.
“Shut up.”
Ma Hongjun, who had been chattering incessantly just a moment ago, instantly fell silent and obediently shut his mouth.
He could only lie on the ground with a bitter face, silently enduring the strange numbness in his body.
At this very moment, a tall and thin figure walked over slowly.
Flender had his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the mess on the field, first falling on Ma Hongjun, his brows moving slightly.
Then his gaze turned to Qin Yun, but without showing any anger.
Strange to say, ever since the day he brought this youth back to the academy, Flender had vaguely felt that Qin Yun was vastly different from his peers.
Other youths with good talents would always show off a bit, either eager to show their prominence or immersed in the surprise of Spirit Awakening;
Yet Qin Yun was not like this; he spoke little, his eyes were calm, and he did things with extreme method and order.
Flender had traveled the continent for many years and knew countless people; he trusted his own judgment—this child would definitely have a sense of measure when making a move.
Ma Hongjun was only poisoned and had not suffered heavy injuries.
Flender said, “Tomorrow the academy will have a new round of student recruitment, Qin Yun, you will be responsible for the final round of assessment.”
Qin Yun nodded and said, “Understood, Principal!”
Calculated by time, Tang San and the others should be coming for this Shrek recruitment.
