961 – Is He Really Five-Ring?
TL: BluVerse

Shrek Academy offered great freedom in both learning and cultivation. Only the individuals themselves truly knew how much effort they had put in. The success of the Star Wars experimental class up to this point was inseparable from everyone’s hard work and perseverance.

The scene did not switch, but five minutes later, all thirty-three students had passed the first challenge.

No one hesitated or faltered because of the need to kill. Not a single one.

Lan Xuanyu continued moving forward. At this point, he even closed his eyes. His pace was not fast, which was why he had fallen behind some of his classmates. However, as he advanced, he constantly used his spiritual power to sense where his enemies would appear, then used his spiritual power to manipulate the elemental forces to eliminate them. He was completely fighting with his mind.

This sensation captivated him. The four basic elements naturally formed an Elemental Core, orbiting his Dragon Core, continuously replenishing his soul power consumption through their mutual reinforcement. As an Elementalist, it was incredibly easy for him to control the elemental forces, and his consumption was minimal.

The combination of different elements became increasingly intricate under the guidance of his spiritual power. He had already forgotten where he was, as he immersed himself in the ocean of elements, just like his usual cultivation practice.

Gradually, the teachers noticed a faint circle of light flickering beneath Lan Xuanyu’s feet. At first, the glow was very dim, hardly noticeable under the illumination of the five white soul rings on his body. But as he kept advancing, defeating his opponents one by one, the light became more pronounced. Inside the halo, mysterious patterns flickered in and out of view.

“A spiritual domain? Is he about to step into the Spirit Domain Realm?” one of the teachers couldn’t help but ask.

The office fell into complete silence. Everyone knew what the Spirit Domain Realm meant for a Soul Master. The Spirit Domain Realm was the foundation for stepping into the ranks of a Super Douluo, which was level ninety-five or above. If the Spirit Domain could stabilize and the spiritual domain became strong enough, entering the Ultimate Douluo rank would be a certainty in the future.

Even Wang Tianyu, at the age of 18, had far from reached the level of the Spirit Domain Realm in terms of spiritual power. But Lan Xuanyu had done it.

At this moment, even Wang Tianyu couldn’t help but share the same thought as Tang Miao: he really picked the right parents! This kind of genetic strength couldn’t be compared with—just incomparable!

Lan Xuanyu also increasingly felt as if something was emerging from his spiritual sea. Everything around him became clearer in his perception, and his body felt f, as if it was about to release something outward.

Step by step, he moved forward, merging with his surroundings. Suddenly, the tunnel opened up, revealing a massive space over 500 meters in diameter. In front of him, the area was crowded with people. Thousands of them.

They were all dressed in black, each with different faces—some were old, some were young, both men and women. They all held weapons in their hands and looked at Lan Xuanyu menacingly. In the next moment, like a tidal wave, they charged toward him.

The second trial of the Blood Test had arrived: The Sea of People!

The enemies here were not individually powerful, each ranging between three and four rings, but their numbers were in the thousands. Breaking through such a situation was no easy task. Even more importantly, the sheer amount of killing would affect anyone, even if this was only a simulated world.

Around Lan Xuanyu, the elements surged, and any enemy who came within ten meters of him was instantly torn apart. For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the dense stench of blood became overpowering in the special environment.

The heavy scent of blood made Lan Xuanyu frown slightly, and it felt as though his sea of consciousness pulsed. A wave of violence, deeply ingrained in his bones, surged outward for an instant.

In that moment, it was as if the final barrier had been pierced, and the halo beneath Lan Xuanyu’s feet suddenly blossomed.

It was an invisible ring of light, but everyone could feel its presence. It was as though a call from the void had appeared. Even the teachers from Shrek Academy’s inner court, who were observing the battle, experienced a moment of emotional disorientation.

Mysterious patterns began to flow outward from beneath Lan Xuanyu’s feet, spreading to every corner. The brilliant glow flickered and disappeared in an instant. In the vast space, everything fell silent. It was as though time had frozen.

Lan Xuanyu extended his left hand, and from his palm, covered in silver scales, a silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass silently emerged. Blue, red, yellow, and green—the four-colored lights swirled together, forming a vortex that began to grow in his palm.

Step by step, he moved forward, and the enemies frozen before him turned to ashes and vanished. The four-colored vortex in his hand continued to grow, and even as it obliterated his foes, it remained completely stable.

The qualitative leap in his spiritual power gave Lan Xuanyu greater control over his elemental storm, making it more stable, and even more… terrifying!

“Is his spiritual domain related to time?” one of the elder inner court teachers asked with difficulty.

There was no doubt that everyone knew space and time were the most difficult abilities to master, but also the most powerful.

All god-level beings, upon breaking through to that level, gained a certain understanding of space, allowing them to use spatial power to some extent.

And compared to space, the power of time was even more mysterious, one of the deepest secrets of the universe.

Some had even said that the combination of space and time gave birth to the entire world.

Lan Xuanyu’s spiritual domain was connected to time? How could that not shock everyone?

The only one who remained calm was Wang Tianyu. Ever since rescuing Nana, he had returned and reviewed many historical records, especially those about the Golden Dragon Moon Song and Silver Dragon Dance Qilin.

According to historical records, the spiritual domain of the Golden Dragon Moon Dance, Dragon King Douluo Tang Wulin, was called “Time Reversal,” allowing time to turn back. It was incredibly powerful.

So, when Lan Xuanyu’s spiritual domain awakened with time-related abilities, he wasn’t surprised at all. After all, he had a powerful father! It was all determined by genetics!

By this time, Lan Xuanyu had already reached the center of the open space, and the four-colored vortex in his hand had grown several times larger, now raised above his head, with a diameter exceeding three meters. It continued to grow stronger, and the rate at which it increased was also accelerating.

The surrounding enemies still couldn’t move, their feet trapped within the glowing halos.

Time was frozen, and life withered!

Compared to Time Reversal, time freezing seemed slightly weaker. However, Lan Xuanyu’s time freeze lasted longer depending on the strength of his opponents. The weaker the enemy, the longer they would be controlled by it. Additionally, his domain had destructive power, continuously consuming the life force of all enemies within its range.

At this point, he had only just acquired this powerful spiritual domain, and its current ability was limited to time freezing. The enemies he faced, though numerous, were vastly inferior in strength compared to him. Moreover, this was the Douluo World, and these enemies were much weaker in spiritual power, barely stronger than ordinary people. How could they possibly awaken from Lan Xuanyu’s Time Decay domain?

The four-colored light finally erupted, and a terrifying storm descended, with Lan Xuanyu’s body at its center, tearing through everything around him, annihilating everything in its path. Countless enemies vanished silently, swept away by the elemental storm—there were no screams, no bloodshed, only ashes scattered in its wake.

“Is he really a five-ring? I wouldn’t believe it even if you beat me to death,” one of the inner court teachers couldn’t help but say.
