The elimination rounds were divided into morning and afternoon sessions,lasting three days until a winner was decided.
The first day's matches were unremarkable, as the undefeated teams wouldn't face each other in the first two rounds.
So, after winning two matches without fighting, Su Wen slipped away to the library when the first afternoon class rang.
Over the years, he had almost devoured all the books in the Sea God Pavilion related to soul beasts and beast tamers.
He gained quite a bit.
For example, he learned about the attributes of various soul beasts, where some rarer soul beasts had appeared in the Douluo Continent, and even records mentioned that some martial souls similar to "beast taming" could consciously control a soul beast—one could control one every fifty years, but the limitation was that the strength had to be less than two-thirds of one's own.
There were evil soul masters similar to the Myriad Soul Banner, but their beast taming only imprisoned the soul.
Various beast taming martial souls were diverse, but very few were truly similar to his.
Choosing his fourth soul beast was also a dilemma.
He leaned towards choosing between a flying type and a healing type.
After all, his weakness was quite obvious during his previous battle with Zhou Yi: the lack of air superiority.
Once his opponent could fly, his advantage would be greatly reduced.
Xiao Jin possessed immense strength, but he struggled to reach Zhou Yi.
If Zhou Yi hadn't let her guard down initially, and hadn't become enraged, forcing Su Wen to use his sixth soul skill, triggering the skill's aftercast delay and rapidly depleting his mana bar, Ice Emperor could have seized the opportunity to strike and, combined with a hurricane attack, subdue Zhou Yi.
Otherwise,if Zhou Yi had fled from the start, he would never have been able to catch up.
Of course, in the Star Dou Great Forest, the hurricane could also gain air superiority, as the endless towering ancient trees served as its battlefield.
However, near the empty teaching building, it was somewhat awkward.
The library wasn't crowded at the moment.
After all, it was class time, and few students dared to skip class and wander around here.
"Xiao Wen, you're here."
The librarian was a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a crisp teacher's uniform, wearing a monocle, and holding a fountain pen in his hand, quickly writing something on a piece of paper.
Seeing that it was Su Wen, he looked up and greeted him with a smile.
"Senior Brother Zhang." Su Wen nodded politely.
Zhang Bailing, an outer court teacher, a level seventy-three Soul Saint, whose martial soul was said to be the fountain pen in his hand. Five years ago, when he entered the Sea God Pavilion, he happened to be an inner court disciple, and now he was teaching in the outer court.
"Swish, swish~"
As the fountain pen swept across the white paper, Su Wen's appearance, along with various other information, was also entered into his file.
Su Wen was full of astonishment.
A Primordial Administrator's Saint Body.
If in the outside world, allowing a Soul Saint in his thirties to be a librarian would be a waste of talent, but in Shrek it seemed quite normal.
"Alright, go ahead."
Zhang Bailing said with a smile.
He quite liked this polite junior disciple from the inner courtyard.
After all, Su Wen, like Ma Xiaotao, had grown up in the inner courtyard, watched by their teachers and elders.
Only the latte cough cough, grew up a bit eccentrically; she was quite cute as a child.
"Hey, classmate, have you registered?"
Zhang Bailing looked at the door with a gentle expression.
A slightly thin figure walked over, his eyes resolute and determined.
"You still have three gold soul coins. Classmate, this is your first time here, so you need to get a library card.
After that, you can come in and out for free. Just come back before graduation to cancel the card."
Zhang Bailing's hand flew across the paper as she wrote, her tone gentle.
"Three gold soul coins?"
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, his expression suddenly contorting.
He'd been selling grilled fish for days to earn that much money, not to mention his considerable daily expenses.
The meager allowance from the three great empires wasn't even as much as the Spirit Hall had given him before.
(Spirit Hall Soul Masters received one gold soul coin per month, Great Soul Masters ten).
"That's right."
Zhang Bailing's expression remained unchanged, still smiling as she waited.
"But why didn't Su Wen have to pay?" Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered Su Wen from before and muttered softly.
"The strong always have privileges." Zhang Bailing's smile remained unchanged.
Did this kid have a grudge against Xiao Wen?
Watching the thin figure quickly pay and hurried into the library, Zhang Bailing's smile slowly faded, her eyes narrowing slightly.
…
Spirit Department Meeting.
Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun were both present.
There was considerable disagreement about who should take over after Zhou Yi's departure.
After all, this class was currently a hot potato, offering no benefits and only causing a lot of trouble.
Several teachers from the Foreign Languages Department were consulted, but they all declined, citing reasons such as heavy workload and insufficient energy.
"How about we merge them?"
Du Weilun scratched his head.
"Anyway, there are only thirty-odd people left. It's too much trouble to occupy a class's quota, and we'll have to allocate other teachers."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"In that case, let's merge them."
Yan Shaozhe nodded "helplessly."
As the teachers from the Foreign Languages Department left, he only kept Mu Jin.
He smiled at the slightly reserved Mu Jin: "Teacher Mu Jin, you are in the new Class Two, and the new Class Two is currently the most powerful.
You can choose the students first, but no more than three."
"Okay!"
A hint of joy flashed in Mu Jin's eyes.
She picked up a stack of files from the new Class One and carefully flipped through them.
Yan Shaozhe didn't urge her, sitting quietly and waiting.
After a while.
"I want them." Mu Jin took out three files and handed them to Yan Shaozhe.
"Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan and Huo Yuhao?" Yan Shaozhe's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"The Spirit Eye Martial Soul is indeed important, but his first Soul Ring is only ten years old.
Even if he has potential in the future, it will probably be quite limited.
Teacher Mu Jin, are you sure you want to choose him?"
"I'm sure."
Mu Jin hesitated slightly, then nodded resolutely.
Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan had already made a profit.
As for Huo Yuhao, his Martial Soul was truly special.
A boy who could gain the favor of that woman Zhou Yi must not be simple. She was willing to take a gamble, especially with the first two as a safety net.
"Okay!"
Yan Shaozhe smiled.
…
[Emerald Swan]
[Personality: Gentle, non-aggressive]
[Rare in number, because from birth they are born with vitality, which attracts the covetous eyes of many Soul Beasts. However, this situation has improved since the birth of Bi Ji, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.]
Looking at the Emerald Swan recorded in the ancient book,along with its portrait and various descriptions,
Su Wen rested his chin on his hand, hesitating and pondering something.
The fourth Poké Ball had appeared black.
This means he can capture any soul beast within the last 100,000 years, as long as the number doesn't reach 100,000.
He stood up and put the book back, his gaze inadvertently falling on the window.
Before the empty French windows, a beautiful woman in light blue clothing was quietly reading.
Sunlight shone on her skirt, causing dust to rise and even faintly reveal the details of her face.
Her long, slender legs were together, leaning against the desk.
She wore flat shoes, but they couldn't hide her tall figure.
The hem of her skirt covered her upper thighs, revealing the white skin below.
"Senior Sister Luo Chen?"
Su Wen was taken aback.
He remembered this senior sister as a cultivation fanatic who always scoffed at theory. What was going on today? She was actually studying in the library?
And why was her face so red?!
She was reading the book with great eagerness, but something was wrong.
Her fair face grew redder and redder, the blush even spreading to her earlobes.
It added a touch of beauty to her already stunning face.
Fortunately, the library was large and quite deserted at the moment, with few people around.
Su Wen cautiously walked over and stood behind the beauty.
Since it was a library, this senior sister couldn't possibly be reading something private, could she?
[Chapter 1]
[The Path for Ice-Attribute Soul Beasts to Obtain Ultimate Ice.]
[As everyone knows, Ultimate Ice holds a status in the ice attribute that is almost equivalent to an emperor. It has a bloodline-like suppression over ordinary ice-attribute soul beasts. Currently, there are only five ways to obtain Ultimate Ice.]
[First, the continuation of different races. After giving birth, offspring can carry the ice attribute. For example, the offspring of ancient frost dragons and titan giants, the current titan snow dragon race, possesses the ultimate ice attribute. Unfortunately, they have long since become extinct in the course of history, leaving only the branch of titan snow demons.]
[Second, the continuation of the same race. For example, when a common female wind baboon and a male blood-red baboon give birth, the offspring can inherit the attributes of both. At the same time, the female wind baboon may also inherit the abilities of the blood-red baboon.
This has been tested among ice-green scorpions. Between common scorpions and ice-green scorpions, there is a chance that the ultimate ice attribute will be transferred to the common scorpion through mating.]
[Third, immortal herbs.]
[Fourth, obtaining a soul bone with the ultimate ice attribute.]
Su Wen's lips twitched.
Every word he wasn't mentioned was about him.
Damn it, women are too scary, I'd better get out of here.
But the next instant, Ling Luochen whirled around, angrily raising her ice staff to strike, her heart filled with rage that someone had dared to spy on her while she was engrossed in her research!
As the ice staff pressed against Su Wen's chin, the beauty also caught a glimpse of Su Wen's face.
The latter's eyes darted around, his tone somewhat embarrassed: "Senior Luochen, I really didn't see the book's contents. You must be researching the ultimate ice, right? I have something to do I'll take my leave?"
"Yo where do you think you're going!"
Ling Luochen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glaring fiercely at Su Wen with her beautiful eyes.
She pressed him down into a seat, then suddenly realized Su Wen's gaze was vaguely fixed on the book's cover, his face turning even redder.
She grabbed the book and shoved it into the bookshelf beside her.
Then she sat down next to Su Wen,cornering him against the wall.
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today!" Ling Luochen threatened in a low voice, her beautiful eyes wide.
"Mmm-hmm!"
Su Wen nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Ling Luochen clenched her fair fists so tightly that the faint blue veins were visible, and her face was as red as a steampunk elf, looking like a disheveled girl caught watching porn.
"So, what do you think?" Ling Luochen suddenly lowered her head and asked in a low voice like a defeated dog.
"What?"
Su Wen hadn't even reacted to the huge transformation from aloof senior to a defeated senior when he saw the beautiful senior staring at him fiercely, as if she wanted to grab a piece of flesh.
"Ahem, I haven't tried it, I don't know."
Su Wen shook his head.
"That's what I asked!" Ling Luochen said indignantly.
Su Wen: ???
Forced into a corner of the library, isolated and helpless, Ling Luochen moved closer and closer, half of her body pressed against him, and Su Wen could only enjoy (crossed out) the torment of wanting to cry but having no tears.
The fragrant breeze was overwhelming, and his entire vision was blocked.
Ling Luochen knelt on Su Wen's lap.
"Smack!"
A red mark was stamped on Su Wen's face, pink and tender, just like the color of lipstick. After a "warning" (physical), he left the library smugly.
Only when he reached the door did a smile appear on his lips.
He'd mastered it!
What a masterful way to lure the enemy in!
"Oh, you succeeded?" Zhang Bailing said with a smile.
"..."
Ling Luochen's smile vanished instantly. He glanced indifferently at Zhang Bailing, snorted coldly, and pushed open the door to leave.
The latter clicked her tongue: "She really is an ice queen, but she only opens her heart to one person.
I remember there were others pursuing her in the inner courtyard, but it's a pity she's already taken."
...
"Change it."
Tianmeng directed Huo Yuhao to change the book in the sea of consciousness.
"Left bookshelf, seventh row from top, fifth column."
Huo Yuhao took it out and opened it.
Tianmeng's spiritual power surged, and the book floated from his hand, its pages rustling. After a while, it slowly landed back in Huo Yuhao's hand. Tianmeng shook his head: "It's not what I want."
"Brother Tianmeng, what exactly are you looking for?" Huo Yuhao asked, his face full of confusion.
"The far north."
Tianmeng shook his head.
"I am a million-year-old soul beast. If I sacrifice myself for you, I can obtain a second martial soul for you.
I have always planned for this second martial soul to be the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion that is, the Ice Emperor, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.
But unfortunately, I lost my silkworm molt, greatly reducing my chances. So I tried to search for books on spiritual cultivation, and through some method, temporarily trap the Ice Emperor, and then bewitch cough cough, make her sacrifice herself for you as well."
"What?!"
Huo Yuhao stood there dumbfounded.
He knew that what Brother Tianmeng was doing was dangerous.
But he never thought that it could be related to a ferocious beast of this level.
"Of course, if all else fails, a 100,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion, or a Snow Demon, is also acceptable, but neither is far superior to the Ice Emperor."
Tianmeng shook his head and said.
"I want Ice Emperor!" Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, his voice filled with excitement.
If it were the Snow Demon Martial Soul, or an ordinary Ice Jade Scorpion, he probably would never catch up to Su Wen in this lifetime.
So he had no choice but to disregard life and death and take a shortcut!
"Good! You have ambition!" Tianmeng chuckled.
"Then let's continue. If all else fails, ask Fanyu for help.
The biggest difference between humans and soul beasts is that humans know how to use tools, and they also accumulate a deep foundation by passing on knowledge and preserving it in ancient texts.
No wonder humans have gradually gained the upper hand over so many years of evolution."
It sighed as it spoke.
t hadn't felt much before, but entering Shrek Academy's library today, surrounded by so much knowledge for future generations to consult and learn from, made its scalp tingle.
This was the true terror of humanity.
"Alright!"
Huo Yuhao was full of energy again.
Zhou Yi had encouraged, affirmed, and helped him during his most difficult time, just like his deceased mother. He had to repay this kindness!
