67Chapter 67 Complete Disenchantment
The disastrous defeat of Shrek Academy and the death of Yu Tianxuan, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, caused ripples that quickly spread to the entire continent.
After all, this was a major accident that happened under live broadcast on the entire network.
The live broadcast of the Tianhai Alliance Competition showed Shrek's unwillingness to lose, and even Yu Tianxuan's ugly behavior of being killed in a rage after a surprise attack, in front of everyone without reservation.
Public opinion was in an uproar.
The image of Shrek Academy, which was once high and mighty and symbolized the supreme glory of the soul master world, collapsed.
It is no longer a desirable holy place, but has become a symbol of arrogance, unwillingness to lose, and even the questionable moral character of its disciples.
Yu Tianxuan's death did not cause much regret except within Shrek and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. There were even many people who believed that he was seeking his own death and deserved it.
In the audience, Tang Wulin watched all this silently.
The image of "Shrek Academy" in his mind, which was once golden and sacred, quickly dimmed and peeled off like a painting splashed with ink, and finally turned into a mess of fragments.
This is complete disenchantment.
The legendary Shrek turned out to be just like this.
It is no longer the other side of dreams, but more like an old throne shrouded in decay.
Tang Wulin's eyes changed from initial shock and confusion to disappointment, and finally to calmness and clarity.
He turned his head and looked at Wu Zhangkong, who had an equally solemn expression beside him:
"Teacher, I've made up my mind. Just like my original idea, I won't test Shrek."
Wu Zhangkong was slightly startled and looked at his disciple, but did not speak immediately.
Tang Wulin took a deep breath and continued:
"I still want to go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
As soon as these words came out, Xie Xie beside him immediately said:
"Boss is right. What's so good about Shrek? They can't stand losing and still launch a surprise attack. It's so embarrassing! I want to go to Sun Moon Royal too!"
Xu Xiaoyan nodded vigorously: "I'll go too!"
Wu Zhangkong looked at the boy and girl in front of him and was silent for a moment.
As a former Shrek inner court disciple, he naturally had complicated emotions surging in his heart.
But everything that happened tonight, Cai Yue'er's performance, Yu Tianxuan's madness, and the unfathomable depths displayed by the Spirit Pagoda...
He was unable to refute his disciples' choice.
He reached out and patted Tang Wulin and Xie Xie on the shoulders, then gently touched Xu Xiaoyan's head.
"If this is your well-considered decision..."
He paused, his eyes swept over the three expectant faces, and nodded slowly:
"Then the teacher supports you."
…
The lights in the hotel room are soft.
Leng Yulai looked at Lu Jun, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, his breathing completely calm, and a satisfied smile appeared on his beautiful face.
She flipped her wrist, and a crystal clear object emitting a faint blue light, with ice crystals and mist flowing inside, shaped like a scorpion's tail appeared in her palm.
An extremely pure and overbearing icy aura instantly filled the entire room.
"Here, little one, you did a great job this time. The Spirit Pagoda keeps its word. You completed the mission. The reputation of the Spirit Pagoda and the Sun and Moon Royal Family has been thoroughly spread. This is your reward."
Leng Yulai threw the object to Lu Jun.
"The Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone has properties that perfectly match yours. Quickly absorb it. I will personally protect you. Tomorrow morning, we will set off back to Mingdu."
Lu Jun took the soul bone and felt a warmth in his hand, but the powerful ice energy contained in it made the Ice Abyss Sword in his body hum excitedly.
This was the first time his Ice Abyss Sword spirit moved.
Although Bingdi always told him that he was transformed from a divine weapon, Lu Jun felt that he was not much different from a normal person.
Only the attribute of Extreme Ice is more eye-catching.
Now his Bingyuan Sword finally moved, but it was just a thought that was almost like greed for external energy.
No energy, which means... his martial soul is not the complete Ice Abyss Sword now?
That's right, it's a divine weapon after all, how could it be so monotonous?
If this soul bone is absorbed, will there be enough energy to activate it?
"Thank you, Master."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and hurry up." Leng Yulai waved his hand and leaned lazily on the sofa beside him, but the invisible soul power around him had quietly set up a barrier, isolating himself from all interference from the outside world.
Lu Jun no longer hesitated. He immediately concentrated and calmed his mind, and couldn't wait to fit the Ice Scorpion's left arm bone onto his own left arm.
The moment the soul bones came into contact, a vast and pure extreme cold current, carrying the unique domineering will of the Ice Scorpion clan, instantly surged into Lu Jun's body.
The voice of the Ice Emperor rang in Lu Jun's mind:
"It's really the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm soul bone. Although I don't know where it came from, it will be of great benefit to you. Keep your mind calm and I will help you absorb it. No problem."
Lu Jun focused his mind and practiced his skills with all his strength.
The power of the Ice Emperor was also quietly released, helping him to soothe and sort out the violently influx of soul bone energy, guiding and integrating it perfectly.
The process went smoothly, except...something unexpected happened.
Lu Jun's Bingyuan Sword hungrily devoured the energy of the left arm bone without leaving a drop.
The soul bone, which was originally bright and shining, dimmed in an instant.
"?"
This situation made Lu Jun confused instantly.
Damn, his martial soul was so hungry that it devoured all the energy and almost ate this soul bone.
Why don't you leave some for me?
The Bingyuan Sword had no intelligence, but was just like a hungry little creature that listened to Lu Jun very much. After sensing Lu Jun's thoughts, it decisively released some energy for Lu Jun to refine.
That's not bad, you passed.
Otherwise, I will take this sword to the toilet every day and disgust you to death.
Lu Jun ignored it and continued to absorb.
Bingyuan Sword: "..."
Escaped inexplicably.
Time passes by.
When the last wisp of ice-blue energy completely merged into Lu Jun's bones and left arm meridians, he suddenly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, an icy blue light flashed like a substance, and an extreme chill that was far more condensed and overbearing than before spread uncontrollably from him. The temperature in the room dropped sharply, and even the air seemed to be frozen.
His soul power was rising like a rocket.
In the end, it stayed steadily at level 35.
Upgraded to the next level.
"Huh..." Lu Jun exhaled a long breath of white air with ice crystals, feeling the power surging in his body, and a sincere joy appeared on his face.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to check if there were any changes to the Bingyuan Sword.
Yet it is still the same as before.
No changes.
This made Lu Jun a little puzzled.
You've swallowed up most of my soul bone energy, so you have to show me some unique abilities, right?
At least it makes me feel it's worth it!
Lu Jun felt that after absorbing that soul bone, his soul power level would be increased by at least two levels.
This is the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone! It's the ultimate ice-attributed soul bone that best suits his martial spirit!
How is it possible that he was only promoted by one level?
As a result, it has only been raised one level now.
I believe he has some idea who is to blame for this.
The Bingyuan Sword lay quietly in his palm, motionless.
There was no movement.
Lu Jun observed it for a long time and finally found something unusual.
It's brighter than before.
"..."
After a long silence, Lu Jun sighed.
"It seems that we need to find the energy it wants as soon as possible and replenish it, so that we can obtain some special abilities of the artifact."
The most urgent thing for Lu Jun is the ability to protect himself.
Now he has not only offended the Tang Sect, but also Shrek.
He needs to improve his strength as soon as possible.
With the protection of the artifact, that would be easy.
"Yes, the soul power improvement is very solid, without any sense of superficiality. This soul bone is highly compatible with you." Leng Yulai stood up and nodded with satisfaction. "At about ten years old, you are level thirty-five, and you have extreme attributes. There is really nothing we can find fault with you."
"Have a good rest, get enough energy, and go home tomorrow."
