"The content of the second Divine Examination..."

"To think it tests spiritual power. Quite unexpected," Shui Wuya, while adjusting to the changes after attaining consummate mastery in the Extreme Ice Heart Technique, examined the contents of the second Divine Examination.

The second Divine Examination tests the realm of spiritual power, requiring the manifestation of a spiritual flower.

"Spiritual power?"

Shui Wuya entered his own spiritual world, where the Ice Emperor, Dream, and Octagon Dream were gathered.

They were surrounding a wisp of golden smoke, an external manifestation of divine aura, which neither dissipated nor drifted away.

"Shui Wuya, you've arrived just in time. Take a look at what this thing is for," Octagon leaned in first.

The three of them knew that this wisp of aura was extremely precious, far surpassing their levels, yet they couldn't discern its purpose.

Shui Wuya first explained to the three spirits what he had accomplished through the first Divine Examination, then reached out to touch the divine aura.

The next moment, the divine aura merged into his spiritual body, and Shui Wuya instantly understood its function.

This aura could help strengthen his spiritual power.

His own spiritual power already far exceeded that of ordinary people; even spiritual-type soul masters would find it difficult to match him.

Now, with the enhancement of the divine aura, Shui Wuya couldn't accurately gauge the extent of his spiritual power.

"How is it, Shui Wuya?" the three spirits looked at him.

"I want to test the peak of my current spiritual power. Will you cooperate with me?" Shui Wuya didn't directly explain.

It was better to let the spirits experience it firsthand.

"Oh, I see. You want to use that soul skill, right?" Dream's eyes lit up.

"Yes," Shui Wuya nodded. His spiritual body disappeared from the spiritual world.

As consciousness returned, five soul rings rose from under him.

Then, the fifth soul ring from the Dream Ice Silkworm lit up.

Shui Wuya and the three spirits from his spiritual world simultaneously entered a transcendent state.

In this state, their spiritual origins unexpectedly began to undergo a similar transformation.

First, the Ice Emperor's spiritual power merged with Octagon's, then with Dream's own.

Finally, Shui Wuya's spiritual power also joined this process.

Soul Skill: Spiritual Fusion.

This soul skill could concentrate the spiritual power of the Ice Emperor, Octagon, Dream, and Shui Wuya himself.

Simultaneously, Shui Wuya activated another soul skill, Spiritual Amplification, also derived from the Dream Ice Silkworm.

This soul skill directly doubled Shui Wuya's spiritual power.

With the Ice Emperor at four hundred thousand years, Dream at two hundred thousand years, and Octagon also at two hundred thousand years, along with Shui Wuya's massive spiritual power, when combined, they might even surpass the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

And on top of this foundation, adding another doubling effect, Shui Wuya even felt that his body was somewhat redundant. Even without a physical body, he could exist independently in the world solely relying on his spiritual power.

Boom!

A burst of explosions echoed in the room, as the substantial spiritual power had begun to affect the surrounding objects.

Shui Wuya released his massive spiritual power, his consciousness spreading out like a vast net, rapidly covering the entire dormitory building!

Then, it continued to expand outward.

Shui Wuya saw the students in class in the classroom, then his vision shifted to the Sea God's Lake.

From the perspective of his spiritual power, all living beings within the range covered by his spiritual power were labeled. Based on the strength of their aura, Shui Wuya could easily identify the strongest individuals nearby.

"The strongest in the Outer Court is only a Soul Saint; Yan Shaozhe is not in the Outer Court..."

Thinking this, Shui Wuya's spiritual power continued to spread, soon covering the area of the Inner Court.

On the other side, it enveloped Shrek City.

Despite the multitude of people and the vast amount of information to process, Shui Wuya didn't find it difficult at all.

The range covered by his spiritual power quickly surpassed the entire Shrek City.

Shui Wuya saw the auction house, various shops, and encountered people from the Martial Soul Hall.

Suddenly, he sensed an immensely powerful energy.

Pure and full of vitality, just as his spiritual power approached, Shui Wuyafelt a warm sensation.

It was an immensely huge golden ancient tree. Shui Wuya was not unfamiliar with this tree; he often saw it when entering and leaving the Inner Court.

However, this time, under the observation of his spiritual power, Shui Wuya realized for the first time the immense energy possessed by this golden ancient tree, which was the foundation of Shrek Academy.

If quantified, the Sea God's Lake seemed somewhat small in comparison.

At the same time, within the Sea God Pavilion, Mu Lao detected the incoming spiritual power coverage.

"Such immense spiritual power, who could it be?"

Just as he was about to trace its source, the fluctuation of spiritual power disappeared without a trace. Mu Lao was puzzled and suspicious. In such a situation, either the other party had already retracted their spiritual power, or their spiritual power had surpassed his own, rendering him unable to detect it.

After observing the golden ancient tree for a moment, Shui Wuya's released spiritual power reached its limit.

He saw the mountains and the familiar auras between them.

Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao... he could even detect the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm within Huo Yuhao's spiritual world.

Inside the cave, Ma Xiaotao's Martial Soul possessed her, with a pair of three-meter-long fiery red phoenix wings, each flap stirring up a blaze of intense flames. None of the enemies were her match.

Dai Yaoheng engaged in close combat, effortlessly taking the lives of his opponents with each move.

The strength of the Shrek Team completely overwhelmed their adversaries.

In the rear, members of the reserve team arrived, and Wang Dong also appeared on the scene. His wings spread out, his thousand-year soul ring shining, as he directly bombed the most densely packed area of the crowd.

Xiao Xiao also launched attacks with her Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron.

Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection connected everyone.

So it was them.

Shui Wuya's attention turned to this side. If he remembered correctly, there should still be an enemy's hidden hand here.

The soul masters here could make corpses explode.

Sure enough.

Dai Yaoheng killed the last person, feeling relieved, when suddenly Huo Yuhao shouted, "Not good, evacuate quickly!"

But it was already too late.

Boom!

The corpses underground began to explode one after another.

The intense explosions lasted for more than ten seconds!

The explosions didn't affect the scene as seen by Shui Wuya's spiritual power.

Ma Xiaotao reacted the fastest, immediately arriving by Huo Yuhao's side. As for Xu Sanshi, being a defensive soul master, he wasn't heavily injured.

But others weren't so fortunate.

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, one died in this explosion, and the remaining individuals were all severely wounded!
