Chapter 1270: Battle against the Turbid World (Subscription Request)_1
Soon, the news that Xu Sheng was going to duel with Turbid World spread throughout the entire Shrek Outer Court, and many teachers and students from the Outer Court gathered in the duel area...
Barely a few minutes had passed, and nearly a hundred students had already assembled...
Surprise and excitement were evident on everyone's faces...
One male student said, "You've all heard, haven't you? That Xu Sheng, who was invited to become a teacher at our Shrek Academy, seems to be going to duel with Zuo Shi Senior!"
Another female student frowned and said, "Really? Zuo Shi Senior is one half of the legendary Holy Twin Dragons, a true Title Douluo-level powerhouse. Isn't that guy named Xu Sheng being way too arrogant?"
"That's not the case. It seems that Zuo Shi Senior was the one who initiated this duel, and as for why, it must be for some kind of test, right?"
"I see, that makes sense. I was wondering how Xu Sheng, who is just a Soul Emperor, would have the courage to challenge Zuo Shi Senior!"
As for the teachers from Shrek Academy sitting on chairs, they naturally became part of the onlooking crowd...
"Fellow teachers, do you think this Xu Sheng will pass Zuo Shi Senior's test?"
"I doubt it! Zuo Shi Senior is always very strict; I fear he will not let him pass the test easily!"
"Exactly, whether he can seize this opportunity depends on Xu Sheng himself! We can't help him."
One curious teacher turned to the silent Shen Yi and asked, "Teacher Shen, as a disciple of Zuo Shi Senior, do you think Xu Sheng could possibly pass the test?"
At this remark, the rest of the teachers also turned their gaze toward Shen Yi...
As Zuo Shi's disciple, Shen Yi should know his master's personality best...
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I... I'm not sure. My teacher has a peculiar temperament and acts on his whims!"
Meanwhile, on the stage in the duel area, Turbid World, standing with his hands behind his back, was staring intently at Xu Sheng opposite him, emitting a heart-thrilling soul power fluctuation...
In a somber tone, he said, "Kid, during this duel, I will suppress my soul power to a Soul Sage level. As long as you can withstand my attacks for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, I will on behalf of Shrek Academy agree to your terms and grant special admission to those children you teach!"
"If you can't withstand it, then it will prove that you are not worth the cost to our Shrek Academy!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "Just the time of an incense stick? Senior, aren't you underestimating me a bit?"
Showing a bit of his own strength might also improve his standing at Shrek Academy in the future!
To Turbid World, however, these actions seemed rather arrogant...
He replied coldly, "Oh? Underestimate you? If you lack sufficient strength, your arrogance will be your downfall!"
Originally, he had thought this Xu Sheng had a decent temperament, and even if he failed to withstand, he could consider him nonetheless!
But unexpectedly, Xu Sheng was so utterly clueless about the immensity of heaven and earth!
Could it be that he actually fantasized about defeating a Title Douluo like himself?
Xu Sheng, sensing the sarcasm, still replied with a smile, "Senior, aren't you being a bit presumptuous? I was merely stating the truth; when have I been arrogant?"
This remark immediately ignited the anger of the Shrek students below the stage...
"Come on, this guy named Xu Sheng is way too arrogant, actually daring to provoke Zuo Shi Senior directly!"
"Hmph, a mere clown jumping on the beam. Once they start fighting, this guy will probably be lying on the ground playing dead in an instant!"
"The might of a Title Douluo is not something that guy can comprehend. Does he really think that upon reaching the Soul Sage level, he can do whatever he wants?"
Those who felt the worst were the teachers who had recommended Xu Sheng to join Shrek Academy...
At this moment, each of them wore a dark expression on their faces...
"I mean... inviting this Xu Sheng to join the academy, we didn't make a mistake, did we?"
He could have just tested properly, but this Xu Sheng insisted on provoking Zuo Shi Senior!
If this isn't courting death, then what is??
...
Afterward, due to Shen Yi's special identity, she was responsible for acting as the referee...
She glanced at Zuo Shi, then gave Xu Sheng a deep look...
She then began to speak, "I will serve as the referee for this duel. Now, please, combatants, release your Martial Souls. The duel will begin in five seconds!!"
As her words fell, she quickly said to Zuo Shi, "Teacher, Xu Sheng is a friend of Senior Brother, please be gentle!"
However, Zuo Shi just gave her a cold glance and didn't say much...
The next second, he released his Martial Soul...
It was vaguely visible that as his Soul Power surged, a blaze of intense, high-temperature flames emerged from Zuo Shi's body with nine Soul Rings appearing beneath his feet...
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
Yet, it wasn't over; these flames seemed to have a life of their own, quickly condensing at an astonishing pace. In just a few seconds, they transformed into a colossal dragon, dozens of meters in size, engulfed in raging flames!
It was indeed Zuo Shi's Martial Soul, the Scarlet Armored Dragon!
The Scarlet Armored Dragon locked its crimson eyes onto Xu Sheng, then opened its huge maw...
"Hummmmm..." A dragon's roar that shook the heavens and earth instantly filled the entire Shrek Outer Court...
This immediately elicited a series of astonished exclamations!
"Look, that's the Scarlet Armored Dragon! Zuo Shi Senior's Martial Soul, how powerful!"
"Is that Zuo Shi Senior's hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring? So terrifying, just standing there makes me feel suffocated!"
"That guy opposite, he now knows the strength of Zuo Shi Senior, doesn't he?"
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect to witness Zuo Shi Senior take action today, fantastic!!"
However, as Zuo Shi's opponent, Xu Sheng's expression remained unchanged even in the face of this startling scene...
This detail caused Zuo Shi to narrow his eyes, thinking to himself, "This guy isn't showing a trace of fear in the face of my oppression??"
Could it be that he truly was confident in defeating him?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Even the mightiest Soul Sage couldn't hope to utilize half their strength when facing a Titled Douluo!
Not to mention against someone like him with a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring!!
Shen Yi was equally astonished, internally exclaiming, "To remain unaffected by Teacher's intimidation, perhaps even Senior Brother couldn't do that?"
Finally, Xu Sheng, the focus of countless gazes, made his move. He stepped forward, and suddenly his entire being burst forth with Soul Power...
In an instant, numerous dense and robust Ghost Vines, mixed with those cold gray-white flames, silently rose from the duel platform...
