"Xiao Wu, it's okay. We'll all help you improve again. Maybe we'll find a solution soon."
Tang San spoke words of comfort, but he was at a loss; His emotional management this time wasn't very good.
Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, patiently soothed Xiao Wu, even saying, "If only I could transfer my spirit power to you."
These words sent a signal: wouldn't they be stronger if the spirit power of all seven people were concentrated in one person?
No, how could he have such an evil thought? Tang San immediately pretended to be clear-headed.
Then Ma Hongjun said with a grin, "Hehe, I learned about some good stuff from the fox tail."
"You damn Fatty, look at that wretched look on your face. What? Are you still pining for the fox's seductive charm?"
Oscar stroked His mature beard, smiling in a particularly mischievous way.
"Tch, this is real good stuff. Don't you guys want to hear it?" Ma Hongjun rolled His eyes.
Dai Mubai leaned in and said, "Tell me about it."
"Boss Dai is still the best. Then I'll say it straight: using this fox tail of mine, I can reopen the Asura Star Array. I don't know how that name appeared in my mind, but I think we can use its effect to start special training."
Ma Hongjun had also been tainted by demonic energy. Although it was of no benefit to him personally, it allowed him to know more information.
The Asura Star Array's main function was to manifest things in the real World that could only be achieved with divine force. Simultaneously, it could break through barriers of space and time to complete events from one's imagination. Of course, the price was the consumption of the mental force and logic of those within the array; in common terms, it was easy to suffer from cultivation deviation.
But the benefits went without saying: it could amplify desires and realize them concretely, leading to a massive increase in strength and the chance to pick up various super resources.
At this moment, Tang San hesitated again. He felt that they shouldn't be so excessively thirsty for power.
However, the other six quickly reached an agreement, especially Xiao Wu. She was too unwilling; if her spirit power couldn't return to normal, how could she remain a part of the Shrek Seven Devils?
Thus, Tang San went along with it. He even boosted their morale: "Based on our gains from the first star array, if we can persevere for six sessions—which is one hour—we can reach the level 100 rank. That would be considered the upper threshold for the Soul Master Competition."
"Yeah, Third Brother. If we participate with strength nearly reaching that of a God-Rank Douluo, I'm afraid even Spirit Hall will be shocked," Oscar said, scratching His head.
Ning Rongrong's gaze was even more determined: "It's not just for the competition, but also for revenge. We must become stronger."
The group's emotions instantly became excited, and that blood-colored star array boomed into existence once more with a sway of Ma Hongjun's fox tail.
Even more bizarre Spirit Beasts and situations filled with evil desires surged toward them, but for them now, it was more of an enjoyment.
They completely ignored the possible consequences of side effects and backlash; after all, power within reach was the most important thing... On Spirit Hall's side, Chu Feng and Bibi Dong were responsible for inspecting the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.
In these seven days, the World was undergoing earth-shattering changes, and the cave was no exception.
Because of the birth of laws and the flow of providence, opportunities were manifesting everywhere. The resource advantage within the cave was no longer that great.
But over these seven days, All Elders had taken turns standing guard. The rewards they obtained from cultivation were still very bountiful. Furthermore, Chu Feng had the reward bonuses previously given by the system, so the gains from this wave were still quite objective.
Bibi Dong, however, wasn't paying attention to these. She gazed at the Divine Tree with a furrowed brow, looking very conflicted.
Chu Feng teased, "Haven't chosen yet? As the Supreme Pontiff, you can't be so indecisive."
"Hmph, the prizes chosen for the Soul Master Competition hosted by Spirit Hall must be representative. Although you said I could pick any of the resources accumulated on the Divine Tree, what could possibly satisfy the appetite of those students now?"
Bibi Dong was still so serious about Spirit Hall. It seemed that changing one's style of conduct in a familiar environment was not easy.
Chu Feng smiled. "After the Great Convention ends, this Soul Master Competition will likely be the last one. The people of the World will only feel that Spirit Hall has solved the problem of unbalanced Spirit Master resources, but no one will be grateful to Spirit Hall."
Chu Feng understood the low-level thinking of some people on the Douluo Continent. The current Soul Master Competition was merely the final act before the people of the World and Spirit Hall completely parted ways.
Once the shackles on ordinary Spirit Masters were broken, what followed would surely be an era of greater competition; naturally, things would not be as law-abiding as before.
Whether it was the nobles, Spirit Hall, or the Clear Sky Sect which still had some residual strength, none could satisfy the currently soaring desires of the World's people.
Bibi Dong replied solemnly, "It is precisely because it might be the last one that it needs to better reflect the majesty of Spirit Hall. Besides, you haven't let me attain godhood for a long time; isn't it because you feel the influence of my status in Spirit Hall is hard to change? This can be considered my final generosity toward Spirit Hall."
Hmm? Has Bibi Dong's thinking gradually become more rational? Could it be from the daily practice of bickering with Qian Renxue?
What she said wasn't bad; at least it was much better than her excessive compromise during the Great Convention. Her words vaguely carried a sense of saying goodbye to Spirit Hall.
However, she did remind Chu Feng that Bibi Dong had not yet officially attained godhood.
Moreover, the system hadn't been looking for trouble, so it seemed the ban that she would die if she didn't attain godhood within seven days hadn't taken effect.
Then this Soul Master Competition might be the key to Bibi Dong's godhood. If that was the case, Chu Feng had an idea.
The 'cause' of The Shrek group participating in the competition from the original work seemed likely to play out, but this time, the so-called 'effect' was somewhat blurred.
Thus, Chu Feng said with slight excitement, "Since the competition is so important, why not take all the treasures condensed by this Divine Tree as prizes?"
"Ah? Are you crazy?"
Bibi Dong was extraordinarily shocked. The things on this Divine Tree were enough to make All Elders of Spirit Hall into God-Rank Douluo. How could they be handed over to others for nothing?
"Three red spiritual treasures, three five-hundred-thousand-year spirit bones, three red spiritual tools, three red pills..."
What Chu Feng mentioned were the rarest supreme treasures currently existing in the World. Since providence had only been flowing for ten days or so, ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of these things.
spiritual treasures, like spirit rings, were categorized by color, but they didn't have age limits; they corresponded to spiritual force. spiritual treasures with over a hundred thousand spiritual force were red.
spiritual tools were generally magical items used in battle. They weren't as functional as spiritual treasures and usually had more restrictions, mainly used in coordination with a Spirit.
Furthermore, spiritual tools and pills were the same as above, with their quality distinguished by spiritual force.
So, Chu Feng had raised the level of the prizes for this competition to a super-explosive dimension, enough to shock everyone participating.
Bibi Dong felt it was unbelievable. If anyone won these, wouldn't that create a potential opponent with unprecedented strength for Spirit Hall?
Therefore, Spirit Hall's choice of participants this time was also of vital importance!
