Chapter 78 Mixed Doubles; The King of Ten Thousand Demons Sacrifices
"Elder Xuan, did you hear something?"
In mid-air, Yan Shaozhe frowned and turned to ask Xuanzi beside him.
Xuanzi shook his head, his eyes flashing with urgency: "Shaozhe, let's hurry! It's just ahead, that's where Lord Sea God is fighting the enemy!"
Ever since he let Ye Chenxing steal the essence of the Golden Tree, Xuanzi has been tormented and felt ashamed to face Shrek Academy.
At this moment, realizing that the Sea God had actually descended in person and was confronting the angel beside that kid, he had only one thought in his mind: to get to the Sea God as quickly as possible and see the Sea God punish the thief!
In the distance, Xuanzi could see a large open space left after a fierce battle.
Oh? That's...
That's right, it really is two people fighting!
Xuanzi's eyes lit up, and he sped up and rushed over.
But when he landed excitedly nearby, he suddenly stopped and realized something was wrong.
There was no majestic figure of the Sea God in the arena, only a burly bald man punching and kicking a middle-aged man with a crew cut.
Moreover, the bald man's back looked extremely familiar.
"It's you? Poisonous Old Monster?!"
Poison-stricken, who was in the middle of a fierce fight, turned around upon hearing the sound.
"Oh, Xuanzi?"
"What are you doing here?" Xuanzi frowned. He came here to see the Sea God, but this nemesis was here instead.
It should be noted that Shrek Academy and the Body Sect have always been at odds. Although they are not true enemies, they inevitably clash when they meet.
Especially Du Bu Si; the two of them have been fighting for half their lives.
What's most infuriating is that he's always just a little bit weaker than Poison Undying.
Poison Undying laughed and clapped his hands nonchalantly: "You Shrek Academy students can sense the commotion from so far away, so my Body Sect is even closer, naturally we had to join in the fun. But you're too late, the person you're looking for has already left."
"They're gone?!" Xuanzi exclaimed anxiously upon hearing this. "What happened? Who won in the end?"
"How would I know?" Du Busi rolled his eyes and then kicked Yu Xiaogang, who was rolling on the ground screaming in pain, hard.
"When I arrived, he was the only one left here."
Xuanzi's hopes were dashed instantly, and his face was filled with disappointment.
But then he placed his hopes on the short-haired guy with a bruised and swollen face.
"So who is he? Why did you hit him?" Xuanzi asked, somewhat puzzled.
Poison Undying blushed. He couldn't very well tell Xuanzi that he had just been tricked by a level 29 Great Soul Master, could he?
He immediately stiffened his neck and retorted defiantly, "I can beat up whoever I want! What, is your Shrek Academy Supervisory Group now meddling in this?!"
Xuanzi immediately became anxious and raised his voice, shouting, "Poison Old Monster, stop trying to bluff! You and I both know the strength of the two people who just fought here! What if this person is related to one of those two? How are you going to handle this?!"
Upon hearing this, Du Bu Si paused slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but then he let out a disdainful sneer.
"Him?"
Poison Undying kicked the limp Yu Xiaogang right in front of Xuanzi, as if kicking a sack.
"Xuanzi, let me tell you, this kid not only has nothing to do with those two, but he's also impersonating one of Shrek Academy's teachers in front of me!"
"What?" Xuanzi was taken aback. "Is that so?"
He looked down and carefully examined Yu Xiaogang, who was lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face. He sensed the soul power fluctuations within the other party, which were not even at the level of a Soul Venerable. His expression instantly darkened.
How dare this piece of trash, who hasn't even reached level 30, use the name of Shrek Academy to swindle and cheat people?!
Seeing Xuanzi's expression turn unfriendly, Du Busi's eyes darted around, and he immediately added fuel to the fire: "Do you know what? This kid just brazenly told me that your Shrek Academy is just a small academy! His master is only reluctantly teaching here."
"And he even said that among all the students at Shrek Academy, Xuanzi is the most unreliable!"
"really?!"
Upon hearing this, Xuanzi immediately flew into a rage.
He was already seething with anger because he hadn't seen the Sea God, and now, looking at this short-haired, bearded guy in front of him, an even greater nameless rage rose in his heart.
At this point, he didn't care whether what Du Bu Si said was true or not, and immediately stepped forward and kicked Yu Xiaogang.
On the other side, Yu Xiaogang felt the fist that had been throbbing with poison stop. He struggled to open his eyes, which were swollen to slits, and before he could even catch his breath, a shoe sole suddenly loomed large in his field of vision.
"Bang"
Seeing Xuanzi begin to beat the short-haired man without any politeness, Du Busi chuckled.
"Count me in!"
Having said that, he rejoined the battle.
Yan Shaozhe stood aside, watching these two top experts beat up a defenseless person like street thugs, and he was speechless.
But as he looked at it, he suddenly frowned.
This buzz cut—why does it look so familiar?
Where have I seen this before?
Where exactly is it?
As if struck by lightning, Yan Shaozhe had a sudden flash of inspiration, and his face instantly turned ugly.
"Elder Xuan! Your Majesty! Stop! Stop now!" Yan Shaozhe was shocked and shouted loudly.
Poison Undying and Xuanzi, who were in the middle of a fierce fight, paused and stopped.
Xuanzi turned his head, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong, Shaozhe?"
Yan Shaozhe didn't have time to explain. He rushed forward and knelt down in front of Yu Xiaogang.
At this point, Yu Xiaogang had clearly been completely knocked unconscious after a round of mixed doubles.
Yan Shaozhe leaned closer to examine him closely. Although the person in front of him had been beaten black and blue and wouldn't even be recognized by his own mother, he could still vaguely recognize that familiar feeling from the remaining outline of his eyebrows and eyes.
Yan Shaozhe swallowed hard, turned to look at Du Busi, his voice trembling slightly: "Your Majesty, did he—did he say what his name was before?"
"Hmm—" Poison Immortal stroked his chin, trying hard to recall, "I don't quite remember either, it was something like Gang?"
Yan Shaozhe gasped, "Could it be Yu Xiaogang?!"
"Yes, yes, yes! That's the name." Poison Undying nodded repeatedly.
Xuanzi frowned and muttered, "This name sounds so familiar. Shao Zhe, do you know him?"
Yan Shaozhe immediately slapped his thigh in alarm, "Elder Xuan! This isn't a matter of whether I know him or not; you should know him too! We see each other every day!"
"Can you see him every day?"
Xuanzi was taken aback, then turned his head to examine the unconscious Yu Xiaogang on the ground once more.
This one look was all it took; the more he looked, the faster cold sweat poured down his forehead.
In my line of sight, the man's swollen face began to miraculously overlap with the statue of the master that had stood for ten thousand years at the main entrance of Shrek Academy.
"Holy crap?!"
Xuanzi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Could he be—a descendant of the master?!"
Yan Shaozhe nodded with difficulty, "Most likely, very likely."
Poison Undying raised an eyebrow. "What master? This kid did say he was some kind of master before."
Yan Shaozhe quickly explained, "Senior, have you ever been to the main gate of Shrek Academy? Among the several ancestral statues there, one is Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. His name and appearance are exactly the same as the ancestral statue!"
Upon hearing this, Du Busi frowned and tried hard to recall. Then he waved his hand impatiently.
"What Da Gang and Xiao Gang? I can't remember."
Upon hearing this, Xuanzi immediately became enraged and pointed at Du Busi's nose, shouting, "Du Busi! How dare you harm a descendant of my Shrek ancestor?!"
Poison Undying, enraged, laughed: "Hey! You, Xuanzi, have you no shame? You were the one kicking the hardest just now, and your blows were far more ruthless than mine!"
Xuanzi's face flushed red, and he was furious: "You—!"
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting again, Yan Shaozhe quickly stepped in to stop them: "Elder Xuan, calm down! Our most urgent task right now is to treat this man immediately. He's been beaten like this; if this drags on any longer, he might die—"
At this point, Yan Shaozhe paused, his lips moved slightly, and he transmitted his voice to Xuanzi.
"Moreover, Elder Xuan, since the Grandmaster's descendant has appeared here, he might know some clues about our ancestor Tang San."
Upon hearing this, Xuanzi trembled and his eyes lit up.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Xuanzi immediately changed his expression, scooped up Yu Xiaogang from the ground, turned and left, "Let's go, take him back to the academy!"
Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn back and glare at Poison Immortal, "Poison Old Monster, you harmed my ancestor's descendants, this matter is not over!"
Before they finished speaking, Xuanzi and Yan Shaozhe transformed into streaks of light and flew away without looking back.
The Poison Immortal, who remained where he was, curled his lip and rolled his eyes as he watched the two leave.
He then snorted coldly, took to the air, and turned to leave.
"My lord, are you ready?"
Within Ye Chenxing's smaller dimension, the Demon King looked at the young man before him with a serious expression and asked in a deep voice.
"Come on, Senior Demon King." Ye Chenxing nodded seriously.
The Demon King said no more. He took a deep breath, and his entire body instantly rose from the ground, transforming into a massive, sky-covering form. A towering demon tree exuding a terrifying aura suddenly appeared.
Immediately afterwards, wisps of dark green light drifted out from the enormous tree canopy. The massive body of the Demon King began to become illusory at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The rich life force and immense soul power transformed into a stream of green light, gradually converging into a massive energy vortex above Ye Chenxing's head.
All around, the immortal herbs that had been quietly rooted in the surroundings couldn't help but start whispering among themselves.
"Waaaaah, I'm so envious! I want to offer a sacrifice to the Child of Nature too!"
"Yeah, why that tree? In terms of quality, I'm far superior!"
"Heh, save your breath. Wait until you have 600,000 years of cultivation before you try to compete."
Listening to the jealousy and rivalry among the immortal herbs did not distract Ye Chenxing. At this moment, a dazzling dark green light began to emanate from his left leg.
According to the original idea of the Demon King, as a ferocious beast with 600,000 years of cultivation, he should have offered up his most precious torso bone or head soul bone for Ye Chenxing.
But Ye Chenxing resolutely refused, for the simple reason that he had a better option.
Therefore, as a second-best option, the Demon King ultimately chose to condense a piece of his left leg bone.
As his blood and qi circulated rapidly within his body, the vast and boundless soul power of the ferocious beast surged into Ye Chenxing's left leg like rivers flowing into the sea. Soothed by the aura of the Child of Nature, Ye Chenxing quickly absorbed the soul bone of the Demon King completely into his body.
Unlike the excruciating pain Huo Yuhao experienced when absorbing Ice Emperor in the original story, Ye Chenxing only felt a slight warmth and tingling sensation in his left leg, which, if he had to describe it, was probably similar to the feeling of his leg going numb.
Before long, the soul bone was completely absorbed, and the speed at which the soul ring solidified in mid-air suddenly accelerated.
"Bomb One"
As Ye Chenxing's aura climbed to its peak without any hindrance, a soul ring, its entire body a deep blood red, steadily hovered around his body.
On its blood-red ring, six dazzling golden lines were clearly engraved, highlighting its terrifying age.
The Demon King has fully absorbed the 600,000-year soul ring!
Ye Chenxing opened his eyes and stared into the darkness at the ferocious beast soul ring on his body, which was swirling with a massive wood-attribute aura.
Immediately, he closed his eyes again, focused his mental energy, and began to carefully examine the gains brought about by the Demon King's sacrifice.
As one of the ten most ferocious beasts, the sacrifice of the Demon King undoubtedly brought Ye Chenxing a huge boost. He had been stuck at level 30 for so long, but now that he had broken through, his level immediately soared to level 40.
Furthermore, he provided Ye Chenxing with a standard configuration at the level of a ferocious beast: a total of four soul skills, two soul bones, and two soul rings.
Ye Chenxing closed his eyes and carefully sensed the vast amount of information contained within his left leg bone.
One of the Soul Bone skills is called "Mayfly Technique".
This is an extremely mysterious escape technique that allows the body to perfectly blend with the earth and vegetation, using the network of organic matter such as underground plant roots and water flow to move at high speed.
The reason why the Demon King was able to make a fool of Tang Zhan was because of Bi Ju's unpredictable and magical skills.
As for the second Soul Bone skill, it is "Wooden Shape".
With just a thought, Ye Chenxing could control and create all sorts of wooden forms, from vine spears to large wooden figures and dragons.
If investigated—if the soul power is large enough, it can even create an entire forest out of thin air.
Not only that, these wooden creations are harder than steel, and they also come with an extremely disgusting passive ability: absorbing the soul power of their opponents. That 600,000-year-old red soul ring perfectly inherited the two signature moves of the Demon King Yongqian.
Firstly, localized, single-unit, strong control of tree eye paralysis.
Secondly, there is the incredibly domineering domain skill—a thousand years in an instant.
Having sorted out the skills, Ye Chenxing opened his eyes, glanced around, and suddenly froze.
He discovered that after the Demon King sacrificed himself, his enormous body did not completely dissipate; the coal mine left behind a sapling in the area.
"Oh? The Demon-Eyed Tree can actually pull this trick?"
Ye Chenxing stroked his chin. He seemed to remember that after Zhong A Yin sacrificed himself, he left behind this Blue Silver Grass, which was carefully cared for by Tang Hao. Could it be that all plant-type soul beasts have this trick?
Unfortunately, after the King of Ten Thousand Demons sacrificed himself, he had already fallen into a deep sleep in the depths of the spiritual star sea, making it impossible to drag him out and ask him what was going on.
"Alright, the main event is yet to come."
