Chapter 176 An Unexpected Encounter
The clash between Elder Xuan and Poison Immortal caused a dazzling mushroom cloud to suddenly explode in the sky. The shockwave from the mushroom cloud spread in all directions, causing Shrek City's defensive shield to shake violently.
The two quickly retreated. Elder Xuan snorted coldly, and a large patch of earthy yellow light formed behind him. Poison Undying was not to be outdone, and a large patch of dark green vortex appeared behind him.
The yellowish-brown orbs of light transformed into giant bull heads that crashed into the vortex unleashed by Poison Undying.
"You haven't improved at all after all these years, Xuanzi!" Poison Undying's eyes blazed with green light, his hands clasped together, and the vortex behind him expanded rapidly.
The bull-head-shaped meteor crashed into the dark green vortex, disappearing without a trace, as if it had vanished into thin air.
Ye Nanxiao quickly snapped out of his daze from Ma Xiaotao's profile, promptly released his grip, subtly maintaining a distance from Ma Xiaotao, and looked at the dark green vortex in the sky that was restraining Xuan Lao's soul skill.
Ma Xiaotao noticed Ye Nanxiao's subtle actions, glanced at him, pursed her lips, and didn't say anything, but she couldn't help feeling disappointed.
Xuan Lao and Du Busi exchanged a few insults before stopping at the same time.
"You old codger, you've lived quite a long time, haven't you?" Elder Xuan stretched his shoulders and said coldly.
"Hmph, how much younger are you than me? At most twenty years younger. You're still alive, so why should I be? I can live for another hundred years!" Poison Undying sneered.
"Oh, you have dreams, huh? Well then, I wish you a long life, since turtles are known for their longevity," Elder Xuan laughed mockingly.
Upon hearing this, Poison Undying instantly flew into a rage.
"Xuanzi, you're courting death!" Du Busi raised his palms to the sky and then slammed them down.
Elder Xuan was secretly pleased, thinking, "I've had my fair share of banter with that brat Xiao, and it seems it's actually had some effect."
The body of the Poison Immortal was covered with countless black spatial rifts, its size increased dramatically, and a rich dark green color shimmered on its surface.
Above Elder Xuan, a huge dark green sphere with a diameter of over thirty meters was rapidly crashing down.
The light sphere appeared silently. Xuan Lao's eyes narrowed, and a beam of white light shot out from between the bull horns on his head, piercing into the dark green light sphere.
The ball of light hovered in the air, and a blinding white light shone forth. In an instant, the world paled in comparison, and a deafening roar that shook the very soul traveled for miles.
The massive energy surge crashed down like a colossal wave.
The elders of the Sea God Pavilion all used their full strength to increase the output of their soul power in order to resist the impact of the collision between Elder Xuan and Poison Undying.
Even with Shrek Academy's protective shield, a small portion of the energy impact, accompanied by a piercing roar, still managed to penetrate the elders' soul power shield.
"Not good!" An elder leaped into the air, radiating a rich green light. Unlike the Poison Undying, the green light emanating from this elder was full of life.
One after another, lush green bamboos, brimming with vitality, sprouted out of thin air and filled the sky above Shrek Academy in the blink of an eye.
"Xiao Tao, lead everyone back to Shrek Academy!" The elder protecting Ye Nanxiao and Ma Xiaotao shouted, nine gleaming spirit rings spinning behind him.
The clash between Elder Xuan and Poison Undying has escalated to the level of a Super Douluo's full-force attack; both are among the people in the world who are closest to the Limit Douluo level.
Large spatial rifts appeared around the dark green sphere, and black, water-like cracks grew rapidly.
All the members of the Body Sect behind Du Bu Si had fled far away, but Elder Xuan could not retreat even a step, as Shrek City was right behind him.
As Ye Nanxiao and the others were acting, Du Busi clasped his hands together, and a dark green ball of light suddenly exploded. At the same time, clusters of dark green soul power tore at the space around Elder Xuan, forming small black holes.
As the residual force struck, Ye Nanxiao conjured seven hexagonal ice shields to block it in front of him.
Ye Nanxiao clasped his hands together in front of his chest, forming a hand seal, and a faint ice flower appeared on his forehead.
Ye Nanxiao had two trump cards within him to help resist the residual power of the energy impact, but Ma Xiaotao was not so lucky.
Ma Xiaotao groaned, the flames on her body went out, and she collapsed limply.
Upon seeing this, Ye Nanxiao quickly hugged Ma Xiaotao, his whole body radiating an icy blue light, and he transformed into a stream of light, merging into Ma Xiaotao's body.
After the Martial Soul Fusion Technique was unleashed, Ma Xiaotao's complexion improved.
"Are you alright?" Ye Nanxiao's voice echoed in Ma Xiaotao's mind.
"It's alright," Ma Xiaotao replied, feeling the flow of soul power within her body, and sighed softly in her heart.
Elder Xuan radiated an earthy yellow light, and golden patterns appeared on his burly body. The phantom behind him quickly solidified, and a Taotie divine bull, its body shimmering with golden light, roared to the sky.
With the blessing of the Taotie Divine Ox's light and shadow, Elder Xuan's golden right hand slowly swept across the black holes cast by Poison Undying. Streams of golden light split off from the Taotie Divine Ox and directly filled all the black holes.
"Mending the sky!" Ye Nanxiao was greatly shocked.
A golden light entered Elder Xuan's hand, transforming into a weapon. The weapon was thick at the top and narrow at the bottom, exuding an aura as heavy as a mountain.
"Isn't this just a chicken leg bone? No wonder that old drunkard always likes to use that chicken leg bone to beat me up!" Ye Nanxiao thought to himself.
Poison Undying roared, his dark green light receding as he produced a ball of light the size of a human head in his hand, which he hurled fiercely at Elder Xuan.
The dark green orb left a thick, black spatial rift trail in the air.
Elder Xuan grew larger, and the weapon in his hand shone brightly, carrying bursts of golden light, as he smashed it towards the dark green orb.
The instant the two collided, an invisible, strange energy surge erupted, instantly sweeping across the heavens and earth.
An invisible energy swept across the entire Shrek City, but it did not cause any real damage.
As Ye Nanxiao was swept by that invisible, strange energy, he felt his consciousness momentarily dazed. Suddenly, the frozen flower in his sea of consciousness emitted a divine light, and five energy chains instantly appeared on the surface of the ice flower. A mysterious divine sound rang out from within the divine light.
Upon hearing that divine voice, Ye Nanxiao felt as if his brain had been struck hard. The world before him lost its color, time slowed down, and everything in the world began to freeze.
Just as he was trying to figure out what was happening inside his body, Ye Nanxiao suddenly went into complete darkness, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
Ye Nanxiao quickly focused his mental energy to forcefully dispel the sense of chaos in his mind.
"I'm gone?" Ye Nanxiao realized that he had unknowingly deactivated his Martial Soul Fusion Skill. There was no one around him, no Ma Xiaotao, no Elder Xuan, no Poison Undying, and no Shrek Academy.
I am standing in a white world.
"I'm dead? That's impossible!" A strong sense of unease welled up in Ye Nanxiao's heart. He looked around and saw nothing but white.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that it was a world of white snow.
He bent down, grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, and let it fall into his hand.
A few specks of blue light were mixed in with the snow. Ye Nanxiao quietly watched the falling white snow, and a mysterious feeling welled up in his heart.
"Where exactly is this?" Ye Nanxiao muttered to himself.
After randomly identifying the direction, he walked forward. After walking for an unknown amount of time, a magnificent ice palace appeared before Ye Nanxiao's eyes.
The main hall was not much different from the imperial city in Ye Nanxiao's memory, but compared with the hall he had seen before, it lacked a sense of oppression.
"There's a powerful figure in charge!" Ye Nanxiao instantly understood the difference between the two.
"Hmm? The restriction on the Frozen Flower I gave you hasn't been refined yet? Are you too early?" A cold and authoritative voice rang out.
The sound, like a resounding bell, struck Ye Nanxiao's mind.
Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt enveloped by a chill, his consciousness gradually blurred, and in his daze, he seemed to see a woman in an ice-blue dress looking at him.
The woman's figure seemed somewhat familiar.
"Right now, you're still too weak."
Ye Nanxiao seemed to hear the woman in the long dress whispering.
"Xiao Xiaozi? Xiao Xiaozi!"
Ye Nanxiao felt that the voice sounded a bit like Ma Xiaotao's voice. As his consciousness slowly returned, Ye Nanxiao realized that he was still in a state of fusion with Ma Xiaotao's martial soul.
"What's wrong?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"You spoke? I suddenly couldn't sense your presence, I thought you had fainted," Ma Xiaotao said worriedly.
If it weren't for the fact that the Martial Soul Fusion was still active, Ma Xiaotao would have forcibly dispelled the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Through Ma Xiaotao's shared vision, Ye Nanxiao saw that Elder Xuan was still clashing with the moves unleashed by Poison Undying.
The giant, golden chicken leg bone kept colliding with the green fist, unleashing bursts of energy.
Ye Nanxiao did not continue to watch the battle between the Super Douluo, but instead searched his memory.
He had great faith in his memory. Since the figure in the ice-blue dress looked somewhat familiar, he was certain that he had seen her before.
"If she gave me the Frozen Flower? Could it be the Frost Goddess?" Ye Nanxiao was somewhat shocked.
A crisp sound rang out in the air. Xuan Lao's weapon and the Poison Undying technique disappeared at the same time, but Xuan Lao was sent flying backward, his body turning dark green.
Ye Nanxiao couldn't help but feel strange, his mind filled with doubt: "What was I just experiencing? And what was that strange energy?"
Seeing this, Du Busi immediately mocked, saying, "Xuanzi, although our cultivation levels are the same, your soul rings are inferior to mine, and I also possess a uniquely gifted original martial soul. Admit defeat!"
Old Master Xuan spat and cursed, "You old bastard, stop being so smug. If you keep fighting, I can at least make you unable to take care of yourself. Why don't you give up your single life partner and try?"
Poison Undying returned to its normal size, hands behind its back. "Try it then. I'll only suffer serious injuries, but your Shrek Academy might be doomed."
Upon hearing this, everyone at Shrek Academy clenched their fists. Ma Xiaotao, who was known for her fiery temper, was engulfed in boiling ice flames.
"Calm down, don't get angry over a few words." Ye Nanxiao's ice armor emitted a cool sensation, soothing Ma Xiaotao's anger.
"How can I tolerate this! Once I reach the Super Douluo level, I'll tear down the Body Sect!" Ma Xiaotao rubbed her fists together, making a crisp sound.
"There's still one old man who hasn't shown up yet, no rush, no rush." Ye Nanxiao thought that it would be about time for Old Master Mu to appear.
"That's right." Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao quickly calmed her inner turmoil.
"If you were to leave the academy to carry out a mission, you'd be at a disadvantage. Take your time and lay in wait first." Ye Nanxiao slowly recounted Lao Liu's actions in the game.
"This is too much trouble. I'll just take you with me on missions from now on."
"I am still a student in the Foreign Languages Department."
"What are you afraid of? Sister Tao will take you through the back door. Anyway, your strength is already up to par. You've been slacking off all this time. Don't think I don't know."
"."
Elder Xuan brought up the promise made by the Body Sect during the beast tide, but Du Busi scoffed, "What promise? What does it have to do with me? What does the Body Sect's leader have to do with me?"
Elder Xuan was instantly enraged and cursed, "You old bastard! Aren't you the sect leader of the Body Sect?"
Poison Immortal chuckled indifferently, "I can become a Supreme Elder right now, isn't that enough?"
Upon hearing Du Bu Si's blatant cheating, Elder Xuan was immediately alarmed: "Is the Body Sect about to emerge?"
As Xuan Lao's longtime nemesis, Du Bu Si quickly guessed what Xuan Lao was thinking.
"My Body Sect and your Shrek Academy still have some ties, and I'm not targeting your Shrek Academy. I'm here today not only to get an explanation from you, but also to ask your Shrek Academy to return the person from my Body Sect to me. Then I'll leave immediately," said Poison Immortal.
"What? People from your Body Sect? You're thinking of measuring tapes," Elder Xuan said coldly.
Although Du Bu Si didn't understand what the "measuring tape" that Elder Xuan mentioned was, Elder Xuan's attitude clearly showed that he didn't acknowledge it.
Poison Undying cursed, "Stop pretending to be ignorant! Don't you know the rules of my Body Sect? I said before that all those with a Body Martial Soul are disciples of my Body Sect. I'm here today for that little guy from the previous competition. Give me the person, and I'll leave, otherwise..."
Elder Xuan interrupted Poison Undying, "What else do you intend to do?"
Poison Undying chuckled cruelly, "Otherwise? I'd like to see how many people from Shrek Academy can withstand my innate poison."
Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan's body swelled up again, his eyes flashing with dazzling golden light, and he said coldly, "You dare? At least half of the people from your Body Sect who came today will have to stay here."
Poison Immortal stared intently at Elder Xuan. "For the sake of our sect's legacy, Xuanzi, do you really think I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Shrek Academy?"
Elder Xuan suddenly withdrew his martial spirit, his body returned to normal size, and he said with a smile, "That's right, I know you just don't dare."
Upon hearing this, Poison Undying flew into a rage, and a dense green light transformed into a green giant phantom that appeared behind him.
"Here we come! I'm always ready with popcorn and soda." Ye Nanxiao seemed to have received some kind of signal when he saw Elder Xuan, and began to get excited.
This is a famous scene for gossipers.
A gentle voice came from the Sea God Pavilion: "If Xuanzi can't stop you, then what about me?"
At the same time, a soft blue beam of light was released from the Sea God Pavilion, quickly spreading into the sky and spreading a soft halo.
Under the aura of light, the aura and soul power that Poison Undying was unleashing were forcibly suppressed back into his body, and the giant phantom behind him simply vanished.
The Poison Undying, instantly suppressed, paled in shock, exclaiming in horror, "Sea God's Light? How can someone else use it?"
"It's been so many years, you've forgotten me. Your personality is just like your brother's." A gentle voice reached Poison Undying's ears.
As Du Bu Si looked down at the Sea God Pavilion, which seemed to be cast in gold, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Alas, if your temper were a little better, perhaps your brother could still be enjoying a cup of Poseidon's Tea today." The gentle voice rang out again.
Poison Undying finally identified the voice's owner. His muscles tensed, and his face contorted with rage as he roared, "Dragon God Douluo! You're still alive?! Aaaaaah!"
"Where's the bench? Where's the melon seeds? Where's the melon seeds?" Ye Nanxiao had deactivated his Martial Soul Fusion state the instant he was enveloped by Elder Mu's aura. He was searching for melon seeds in his storage ring when a delicate little bench appeared behind him.
"Me too!" Ma Xiaotao snatched Ye Nanxiao's stool, sat down, and stretched out her delicate hand. "Where's the popcorn you mentioned?"
"."
Ye Huli silently looked at the popcorn he had painstakingly made, stood quietly beside Ma Xiaotao, and looked up at the sky.
