Ray and the rest were getting ready for their match against Cang Hui academy, they were waiting as they match would start soon.
After a while, the match was officially starting with the students of Cang Hui going first, they showed off their gemstone spirit essences, "All of them are gemstone spirit masters...", commented Ty Xiaogang as team Shrek walked on the stage.
The leader of their team said, "Shrek! Don't think I Don't know what you've done! This match today, shall be the end of your lives!", after he finished his declaration their whole side of the stage glowed with a bright light covering them all, they used their combines ability [The Illusion Of Shura], in a sense, it's basically an area of effect attack(AOE) that makes the enemy suffer their worst fears, and they lose the ability to fight back, sharp red beams appeared as the light was vanishing and attacked everyone on Shrek's side, most of them were affected, Tang san was slowly resisting and Ray just stood their, 'Welp, I guess this is the perk of really high mental strength, lets check what everyone else is seeing, first Mubai.', Ray looked at Mubai with his dragon eyes and saw a giant tiger head with three glowing eyes that made it look like it had flames over them, 'Damn, the evil-eyed sage looks so cool, if only I could tame it...maybe another time...', he then shook the last thought out of his head as it seemed a bit ridiculous, but then he seemed a bit flustered as the tiger sensed that someone else was looking at him, 'Fuck, he could sense me?', and looked towards Ray's direction and it also looked flustered as it was strong enough to sense the hidden presence of a god-like beast similar to itself and faintly felt the aura of a dragon and heard the echos of a roar, it blinked as it saw Ray smile and wave at it and then disappeared and then Mubai went and started seeing his past.
Ray then went to look on to everyone else and didnt seeing anything really interesting and for some he didn't want to as it was a breach of privacy or was just said, like Xiao Wu, it was memories of her mother giving her to Er ming and then seeing her mother run away from her and fight people who looked like they were from spirit hall.
Eventually, Mubai and Zhu Zhu Qing partially snapped out of the illusion and walked to each other, Ray was watching them and thought, 'Might as well assist them here...', he saw them turn into their big tiger form for their spirit fusion and buffed them in his [Beast Elemental Domain] and they broke through the gem-like shield that Cang Hui made pushing them towards the edge but that's all that could happen as the fusion ability ended.
As the stage started to clear up because of the spirit fusion ability, the members saw a collapsed Zhu Zhu Qing and Mubai but past that a darkened Tang san and a relaxed Ray looking at them and the captain of their team said to the both of them, "Taking your chance to use little tricks...but it's completely normal if I think about it or else how could the pair of you killed Shi Nian!", Tang san's eyes had a more concentrated look as well as him being more so serious than before and Ray...just didn't care and then the captain of their team kept talking about how he was a lucky guy as he would get a spirit bone, "The only problem is which one of you has it...nevermind I'll just kill you both and take it!", "You really want to kill us? Aren't you afraid of the punishment?", Tang san said but then he thought about how strong Ray was and then he didn't seem as serious as before but then said to Ray, "What should we do if they go to tell someone about the spirit bone?", "Hmm...just give em' brain damage with their next illusion attack, when the doctors check and find out it was a spirit ability rebound, I will fix their sea of consciousness but get rid of the past few weeks and replace Shi Nian's death with him being killed by an unnamed title Douluo.", "You can do that?!", "Yeah, but their mind has to be weak enough and with the damage to the head they should have the minds of a 2-year-old, I'll fix it after and manipulate their minds as I say before.", Tang san nodded his head and got ready for their attack.
The Cang Hui members sent a red arrow like attack towards the pair but then Tang san's eyes went a dark yellow and then reflected their attack, the fog that was made by the enemy team slowly dissipated and Tang san was standing there next to Ray who had his arms folded and Rongrong shouted, "Oh, it's first brother and fourth brother!" Tang san was standing still and Ray looked at him and thought, 'Hmm...it's like he went mind zero...' and before he was about to fall to the ground Ray picked him up and carried and put him on a block of earth and sent him towards the Shrek side, he also sent the rest of his team the same way where Yu Xiaogang and Flender picked them up and sent them all towards their rooms to rest, the announcer already declared Shrek as the winners and before anyone could pick up the Cang Hui team Ray closed his eyes and slowly began fixing their minds whilst replacing some as well, they forgot the last few weeks of the tournament and got the news that their principle was murdered the first week they got their, then Ray left them in a deep sleep that they won't wake up from till the tournament ends.
He then left the stage as nothing happened and then the teacher of Cang Hui came over and put them in their resting area and was shocked by how strong Shrek was, even if he never saw how they beat his team but then he got pissed off as he found out that they will be in a coma for the next few weeks but then a few doctors came in and then gave a report on what was wrong with them, "Sir, it seems as though they had a mental ability backlash, they were lucky to have been just been in a small coma for the next weeks but they might forget a few things.", and then they carried on giving their analyse of how much of an impact the rebound of the attack did on them but at least it wasn't as bad as the original where they became retards and you may be wondering where the doctors came from, they were paid by Ray to go in and give a report on them so spirit hall wouldn't get the complaint.
Later on in the day Tang san woke up and saw that Ray, Yu Xiaogang and Flender were watching him as he woke up, "Xiao san you're finally awake...", "Principle...master...Xiao Wu and the rest...", "Just lie down and rest the others are awake but they are a bit weak at the moment.", said Flender, "That's good news...", Tang san replied weakly, Flender was getting anxious and wanted to hear what happened from both Ray and Tang san and he had to wait for Tang san to wake up, they both explained what happened and explained how they planned out how they beat them and made them retarded and then fixed it and replaced their memories which made the teachers stupified at the mere thought of being able to do that, "Ray how did you do it?", "I have an abnormal absurd amount of mental strength and because of their minds or sea of consciousness being in an infant-like state it was easy to fix if you know how, which I do and change, think of your sea of consciousness as the thing in your body that holds all the information about yourself from all of your life as well as the information on the spirit essence you have and the rings absorb which lets you know what abilities you get and what lets them function and lets you do what you can, it's like a library, all I did was re-write some of the books in that library.", Ray kept explaining how the mind worked in correlation to a spirit masters mind and Yu Xiaogang was amazed as some correlates with some of his previous notes and some were new to him entirely, he quickly wrote down what Ray was saying to investigate later.

A FEW DAYS LATER
...
Ray healed and gave some weak restoration pills to everyone and they carried on with a few of their matches and won all of them but had to go hiatus for some of them and at some point, Flender got a letter about a 'Shrek Forever Fan Club' and how they would one of their sponsors along with the few Ray gave them.
Everyone was talking to each other apart from Ray who they rarely saw and thought he was managing his business or something, and while they were talking Mubai was protesting about how he was going to fight but everyone was questioning him on whether it was because of their next match against Skywater academy and then some of them started to talk about how they are famous idols and then they heard someone walk in, it was Feng Xiao Tian who started to give information on their academy but then Xiao Wu said, "But when it comes to elements no one can beat brother Ray! and we have Ma Hong Jun who can use his flames against their ice!" and some of the others nodded their head towards this, "Oh? You mean that kid other there and the other...doesn't he use ice and earth, that's not gonna be a lot of help against them.", "Um, didn't you get any information about Ray?", Xiao Wu asked, "What do you mean?", "You didn't even ask who he is?! He's super powerful and he's a spirit king, there's no way Skywater could beat us!", but then Tang stopped Xiao Wu from saying any more to a future opponent and Feng Xiao Tian left soon after they kept talking about how Skywater had a fusion attack that they can use and Feng Xiao Tian thought as he left, 'They made it out that his abilities have an advantage over theirs but it's just ice and earth, ice won't really be able to win against ice unless it's absolute, and earth isn't really that effective against ice...I'm gonna have to get more information about him.'
Later that day Feng Xiao Tian found that Ray could command the elements and could take control over someones elemental attacks if they are a spirit rank under them, he thought of how Ray was a monstrous talent and it felt harder and harder to beat him.
...
NEXT DAY
...
The match against Skywater academy was going to start in a few hours and Ray pulled Mubai over, "You're not going in this match.", "I've already talked with everyone else about this and I am.", "Moron...I know what's wrong with you!", "Y-you do?!!", "Yeah, Mubai you do realise that I know who you actually are, right?", "W-what do you mean Ray?", "Sigh...I know that you're the second prince of the Star Luo empire.", "...Oh...", "Anyway, that's not what's really important right now, what's important for you to know right now, is that you are going through a trial.", "What do you mean Ray?", "In the hidden history of the evil eyes white tiger, there were certain members who were gifted with a certain ability, a right if you will, it began with the first leader of your clan, he went through an inheritance ritual which made him as powerful as he was and let him make his empire, this ritual is what you are going through right now.", "W-what?!?!", "The specific term through what you're going through is called the inheritance ritual of the evil eyes sage and the preparation is just spirit force diminishing.", "Why have I never heard of this from the others before?!", "Well...how do I say this...", "What is it?!", "People who know of this evil eyes sage all think of it as a rumour and not real, and those who did believe in it thought it was something that diminished a thousand years ago but no, it was something the evil-eyed white tiger clan kept hidden because...", "Spit it out!", "Sigh...all the chosen ones are dead Mubai!", "Wha?! N-no this can't be, what about Zhu Qing I only just got together with her...", "Fear not it's a trial that the beast inside you has chosen for its successor and if it's chosen you, someone who I am willing to call my brother, someone who is known as a monster, then you are sorely to succeed!", Ray kept explaining the legend of the evil-eyed sage and then they went to teacher Yu...
Op Mubai will commence in the next chapter, maybe?
Anyway, enjoy the chapter!
