Chapter 1276: Is He Really a Person of This World? (Please Subscribe)_1
Gazing at Shen Yi as she unleashed her Martial Soul, Xu Sheng was aware she harbored a killing intent towards him, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he indifferently responded, "Teacher Shen, do you wish to have a spar with me?"
Shen Yi clenched her fists and coldly retorted, "Hmph, even though I know I'm no match for you, I won't let you continue to bewitch my senior. Third Soul Skill, Thorn of Bashfulness!"
As her words fell, the third soul ring at her feet suddenly lit up…
In an instant, the ground all around began to show hints of green, and soon, dozens of meters-tall Bashful Grass burst forth from the earth, quickly covering the surroundings…
Unlike normal Bashful Grass, the exterior of these plants grew extremely sharp thorns, as if capable of piercing through any defense!
The next second, guided by Shen Yi's will, these thorns swiftly coated with potent toxins and shot towards Xu Sheng in a dense barrage, completely sealing off all his escape routes…
Upon witnessing this Martial Soul, Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow and remarked, "Oh? This Martial Soul is quite interesting..."
Clearly, he had not expected that Bashful Grass could serve as a Martial Soul, and even more so, be cultivated to the level of a Soul Emperor!
Suddenly, Xu Sheng casually waved his hand, and thick Netherworld Ghostvine grew from the ground, enveloping him a full 360 degrees, blocking all incoming poisoned thorns!
After colliding, not even a mark was left on the Netherworld Ghostvine by these thorns!
Seeing her attack effortlessly blocked, Shen Yi thought to herself, "So strong!"
Although she knew of Xu Sheng's formidable strength, facing him directly in combat brought a profound sense of powerlessness…
Yet, she would never give up, evil Soul Masters, all shall perish!
With this thought, a surge of rage welled up in her heart once more, and she coldly shouted, "Sixth Soul Skill, Full-Body Parasitic!"
The sixth soul ring, flickering with a black halo, suddenly flared up…
The Bashful Grass plants rapidly closed up, and then as they reopened, they emitted a pungent-smelling powder at an incredibly fast pace…
Xu Sheng's eyes slightly squinted as he instantly vanished from the spot, dodging the powder…
However, the powder continued to spread, effortlessly clinging to the thick Netherworld Ghostvine; the next second, something unexpected occurred!
The originally pitch-black Netherworld Ghostvine's flesh began to gradually turn green, and even the grey-white flames burning on its branches could not escape this fate…
It was apparent that Shen Yi had gained control over the Netherworld Ghostvine…
Watching Xu Sheng who had been caught in her trap, she coldly cried out, "Die!!"
In an instant, the Netherworld Ghostvine around, following her command, furiously tightened around Xu Sheng…
She wanted to see how Xu Sheng could defend himself once his Martial Soul was under her control!
But the very next second, she seemed to have witnessed something horrifying and couldn't help but widen her eyes, exclaiming, "You… you're actually a Twin… Twin Martial Souls!! And… and… it's even more powerful than your first Martial Soul!"
At that moment, Xu Sheng had already formed a longsword in his hand, radiating a chilling coldness, its formidable presence causing the surrounding space itself to shudder!
Especially the seven hundred-thousand-year soul rings shimmering with a scarlet blood hue beneath his feet, they were truly harrowing!
Even Wu Changkong, who was observing from the side, showed shock in his ice-blue eyes at this scene…
Xu Sheng's talent was already terrifying, but who would have thought he also possessed Twin Martial Souls!!
This second Martial Soul even had a Soul Ring Configuration only a "God" could possess!
Seven hundred-thousand-year soul rings!!!
Thinking of this, Wu Changkong couldn't help but ponder, "No wonder, no wonder Xu Sheng could contend with a teacher who has reached the level of a Hyper Douluo!!
With the amplification provided by these hundred-thousand-year soul rings, fighting across several levels isn't impossible at all!!"
Contemplating the miracles that occurred with Xu Sheng, Wu Changkong couldn't help but harbor a sincere thought at the bottom of his heart...
Perhaps, he really could choose to trust him!!
The seemingly unflustered Xu Sheng merely tightened his grip on the Ice Rose Sword and swung it casually, releasing a terrifying sword light that instantly annihilated the attacking Netherworld Ghostvine into particles that slowly dissipated...
After doing all of this, his dark eyes turned to look at Shen Yi, who stood frozen in front of him, and said calmly, "Teacher Shen, if you have any other tricks up your sleeve, feel free to use them. Otherwise, our confrontation is already over!"
He actually had no need to use the Ice Rose Sword at all, even the fact that the Netherworld Ghostvine was controlled by Shen Yi was simply because he willed it to be so...
Coming back to her senses, Shen Yi, unwilling to concede, said, "Don't underestimate..."
Before she could finish, she felt a longsword filled with bone-chilling coldness against her neck, as if it was about to freeze her veins...
And Xu Sheng, unbeknownst to her, had appeared behind her, his tone icy as he said, "Now then, do you still wish to resist?"
This cold and merciless tone, along with the threat of death...
Made Shen Yi's delicate body tremble subconsciously, but she still forced herself to keep a stiff upper lip and straighten her spine...
Seeing that the situation was amiss, Wu Changkong immediately spoke up, "Teacher Xu! Please spare Shen Yi! I apologize to you on her behalf!"
Xu Sheng gave Wu Changkong a glance, the icy expression on his face melting away softly as he said in a gentle tone, "Teacher Wu, rest assured, I was just joking with Teacher Shen!"
With that, he unhurriedly removed the Ice Rose Sword from Shen Yi's neck...
In an instant, Shen Yi, whose legs had turned weak, could no longer maintain her stance and was heard "thump" as she collapsed onto the ground...
Her heart was pounding uncontrollably...
Wu Changkong immediately went before Shen Yi, carefully helping her up and asked with concern, "Shen Yi, are you alright?"
Shen Yi, pale-faced, simply gave a weak shake of her head, indicating she was not seriously harmed...
Too terrifying!
The impression Xu Sheng gave her was not on the same level as those evil Soul Masters, no, not even on the same dimension!
That despair stemming from the abyss, the sensation of being helplessly locked in its grip, simply left no room for any thought of resistance!!
Seeing that Shen Yi was unharmed, Wu Changkong finally breathed a sigh of relief and, full of apology, said to Xu Sheng, "Sorry, Teacher Xu, Shen Yi didn't mean it just now, it was just that certain reasons caused her to become too emotional!"
Xu Sheng withdrew his imposing aura, returning to his normal easygoing demeanor...
He chuckled and said, "No need to apologize. It's normal for Teacher Shen to mistake me for an evil Soul Master! But I hope such things will not happen again!"
"I'll be taking my leave then, I haven't had a proper look around Shrek Academy yet!"
With that, under the complex gazes of Wu Changkong and Shen Yi, he stepped away...
It was as if everything that had just happened was nothing but a fleeting transient...
A few seconds into the silence, Shen Yi uttered a sentence...
"Is he...really of this world?"
