—------------------—
Among all the masters in Heaven, if there is anyone besides the gifted Ye Guyi who can keep up with Xu Tianxi's pace of cultivation, then it can only be Xue Di who has cultivated in this life again.
When Xu Tianxi went out to sea to hunt souls, she had already restored her cultivation to the Soul Douluo realm, and used her huge origin to condense the soul ring.
The Ice Pole Divine Crystals obtained from the Wanzai Xuanbing Cave and the Ice Emperor's collection have been used to forge three sets of equipment that far exceed the top-level two-word battle armor level and a ninth-level melee soul guide, the Ice Pole Emperor Sword.
The current forging technology does not allow him to create a more advanced three-word battle armor, but he relies on a tricky method to use the Ice Pole Divine Crystal and two other metals specially processed by Gu Yuena to improve the quality of the battle armor.
This is equivalent to forging battle armor with five kinds of metals, which has long been the forging standard for top-level three-word battle armor in later generations. Among them is the top-level metal such as the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, which is almost a natural soul forging material.
Therefore, the quality of their battle armor can be called an alternative three-word battle armor, which has extremely high requirements for the soul master himself. Only Xu Tianxi and Xue Di can use them.
In Xu Tianxi's opinion, these two sets of battle armor must be top-notch among the three-word battle armors of later generations. The main reason is that the quality of the material, the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, is too high, and is at the same level as the gold of living things. The only flaw is that it does not have the signature field of the three-word battle armor.
Meng Hongchen's battle armor is a mini version, using only a small amount of Ice Divine Crystal and two other metals. Her physique, soul power and mental strength cannot bear a stronger battle armor.
Her battle armor has the function of purifying the ultimate ice attribute. Once worn, it can elevate the ice attribute to the ultimate ice level, which is extremely powerful.
Furthermore, after her Zhu Qing Ice Toad Poison's ice properties were enhanced... it seemed to have no natural enemies. This was personally tested by an ordinary Ultimate Ice and Snow Spirit Master who had been poisoned. (Su Tong: My nose is a little itchy.)
Only masters like Xu Tianxi who have cultivated ultimate attributes to a certain level can remain immune.
As for the changes in Xu Tianxi himself after putting on the battle armor... So far, the only top master who has fought him with all his strength is the Extreme Douluo Xu Xiaoyun.
After the battle at sea, Xu Xiaoyun was surprised but also a little dazed. At that time, Xu Tianxi had not yet absorbed the soul ring and soul bone of the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord, which was also the core reason why Xu Xiaoyun warned Xu Sanshi not to chase Xu Tianxi.
It is precisely because of his confidence in not fearing the strongest people in the world that Xu Tianxi dares to sit here and calculate the overall situation.
At night.
Everyone in the Tianjiao Sect's mourning hall was dressed in white. Some bone fragments lay in the six newly purchased coffins. The Sect Master and his eldest son Han Jian, who had just regained consciousness, were guarding the body with grief and anger in their eyes.
The Sun-Moon Empire humanely provided a sacrificial site and supplies. In addition to the people from the Tianjia Sect, there were also some representatives from other sects and families from the original three kingdoms.
Their faces were solemn and the atmosphere was depressing, unlike the usual memorial services where people could laugh in front of the host's house.
When a rabbit dies, the fox mourns its own kind. Six of the eight young elites from the Tianjiao Sect who participated in the competition died, one was disabled, and only the young sect leader Han Jian was still in good health. It was a tragic sight.
They came here to obey the call to deal with the Sun-Moon Empire, and also to train the disciples in the sect; but the ones who hurt them to such an extent were not the people of the Sun-Moon Empire, but their own people!
They kept looking outside, expecting someone from a sect or a college to come and offer condolences, or even just to apologize.
The people from Dilongmen were also here. Nan Qiuqiu's eyes rolled around as she whispered to her mother beside her:
"Mom, shouldn't we have agreed to the Haotian Sect back then? What they did was too excessive..."
"Shut up!"
Nan Shuishui interrupted her, eyebrows raised, and sternly shouted: "Don't say such things from now on. No matter how much you think in your heart, you can't say it out loud!"
"Oh, I understand." Nan Qiuqiu lowered her head and stopped talking. She just looked at her mouth shape and saw that she was still mumbling something.
well...
Nan Shuishui sighed inwardly when she saw this. Back then, the Titled Douluo from the Haotian Sect and the Seagod Island came to her. Their strength was above hers, and they also had the Seagod flag. How could they allow her to resist?
As for later on, as all of their sects were dragged into this, even the sects with Titled Douluo in charge had no choice, unless they had the strength of the Xuanming Sect.
At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the mourning hall.
"Princess Vina of the Sky Soul Empire has arrived! Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire has arrived!"
Nan Shuishui and many other masters all looked outwards, and then saw Vina and Xu Jiujiu, who were dressed in plain clothes, walking towards them. Vina was guarded by a Super Douluo from the Body Sect, and Xu Jiujiu was guarded by Shattered Star Douluo.
With the arrival of the princesses of the two countries, the Tianjia Sect naturally had to send enough people to deal with them. The Sect Master of the Tianjia Sect stood up and came to greet them.
Both sides said some words of comfort. Vina and Xu Jiujiu knew that there was no point in saying more, so they found a place to sit down.
As soon as Fang sat down, Vina sent a message to Xu Jiujiu: "Sister Jiujiu, it seems they are not waiting for us. Look, they are still looking outside."
Xu Jiujiu looked around and said calmly, "Of course it's not us. After the Tianjiao Sect's demise, the young generation is almost extinct. They are waiting for the leader of the Sea God Alliance and Shrek."
"Alas, the Tianjiao Sect is in a very miserable state now. Sister Jiujiu, do you think they will come?" Vina shook her head and sighed.
"No!" Xu Jiujiu responded firmly.
She seemed to recall something, and a sarcastic arc appeared on the corner of her mouth as she said:
"You saw what those people's attitudes were today. The Young Master of the Haotian Sect completely disregarded their old friendship and ruthlessly killed them. Even the people of the Sun and Moon Empire couldn't stand it."
"But look at Yan Shaozhe and the Haotian Sect elders. Even when the ninth-level soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire held them accountable, they still managed to bite back. It seems that being teammates with such people is more dangerous than being enemies."
Upon hearing this, Vina pondered the history carefully and nodded sincerely, "Indeed, for ten thousand years, Shrek has always ranked first in the number of students killed or maimed in competitions, more than five times that of other academies."
"Furthermore, in their quest for victory, they often intentionally resort to brutal force in individual matches, injuring their opponents, rendering them incapable of combat, or even killing them, to ensure a glorious victory in team battles."
"It's just that they were always the champions before, with ten thousand years of glory protecting them, so no one dared to speak against them."
As the Haotian Sect, Xuanming Sect, and Benti Sect successively came to Shrek to challenge him, and the Sun-Moon Empire twice killed a large number of Shrek masters, Shrek's halo was shattered, and many voices of dissatisfaction with them suddenly appeared within the original three countries.
Many of these people were from soul master families. They or their family members had once enrolled in Shrek's outer courtyard but were ruthlessly expelled. They carried the shame of being Shrek's abandoned disciples for the rest of their lives.
They have one thing in common: the teacher who expelled them was called Zhou Yi, a crazy woman who was completely unreasonable.
In the past, these people dared to be angry but not to speak out, and now of course they still don't dare to attack Shrek, but they have the courage to write some small articles behind his back and talk about it, just to tell the truth.
"Heh, during the battle for Xingluo City, the evil spirit masters launched a massive attack, but these guys started a fight with the Sun and Moon Empire first. If it weren't for the Xuanming Sect and the Body Sect masters helping to stop them, Xingluo City would have been destroyed."
Xu Jiujiu's eyes flashed with coldness as he said, "It was the masters of the Sun-Moon Empire who helped us drive back those evil soul masters and rescue the casualties. After this incident, I no longer have any hope in them."
When the Holy Spirit Sect masters were forced to leave, there was certainly the threat of the self-detonation of the Lord of the Worship, but Xu Tianxi's bombardment of Feng Ling and Kong Deming's remote intimidation of the evil soul masters also had a great impact. If Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui stayed, the danger would be very great, and they might be surrounded and killed by several sects.
Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu both saw this very clearly.
As for Shrek... the waste who was beaten into ashes by the Sun-Moon Empire has no right to speak.
Vina saw that Xu Jiujiu had a lot of opinions about Shrek. Just as she was about to say something, she heard someone outside shouting:
"Young Master Sanshi of the Xuanming Sect has arrived, and Master Zheng Zhan and Princess Le Xuan of the Sun and Moon Empire have arrived."
In the mourning hall, a large number of people from sects and families stood up and sat down again, their eyes changing.
People from Xuanming Sect are here too?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xu Sanshi brought Jiang Nannan into view. Zheng Zhan lagged behind by a few steps, and the person following him was Zhang Lexuan.
"Please don't be surprised, everyone. My elders have a history with the masters of the Tianjiao Sect. Today, I have brought my fiancée to offer condolences on behalf of the sect. I would also like to ask the host to give two pieces of white silk."
As soon as Xu Sanshi entered the door, he bowed and saluted, with a solemn expression on his handsome face.
The Tianjiao Sect's leader was surprised and hurried out to grab Xu Sanshi's hand. He said with a complicated expression, "I didn't expect my nephew to come. I'm sorry for not entertaining him well."
He looked eager and much more intimate than when he was facing the princesses of the two countries.
The reason is simple. There are Extreme Douluo in Xuanming Sect and many masters, so they are not afraid of Haotian Sect and Sea God Island.
"Your health is the most important thing. Let's not bother with these trivial matters." Xu Sanshi waved his hand and gave Jiang Nannan a look.
Jiang Nannan understood and handed over a storage ring, saying softly, "It contains our sect's unique healing elixir, the Xuanwu Divine Pill, and many other medicines. I hope your sect will accept my condolences."
"Okay, okay, okay, thank you, thank you. I thank you on behalf of my son and my nephew."
The leader of Tianjiao Sect burst into tears as he took the storage ring and held it tightly in his palm, as if he was holding the spirit tablets of his six nephews and nieces.
The Xuanshui Pill of Xuanming Sect is famous throughout the world, and the Xuanwu Pill is a holy product for healing. Legend has it that it can heal dead flesh and bones, and can even restore a dead heart. It is also an extraordinary product in Xuanming Sect and is truly a generous gift.
Xu Sanshi advised gently, "I've already informed my father about what happened here. He's not here, so he had to tell me that I must come to pay my respects. Please accept my condolences."
"Please accept my condolences. With your kindness, I feel much better. I will definitely visit His Majesty Yongheng and your father in the future." For the first time, the face of the leader of Tianjia Sect relaxed and he smiled.
Han Jian also hurriedly got up and rushed over to thank Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan and presented them with white silk.
Seeing this, many people's expressions softened. The young master and his wife of Xuanming Sect came in person and presented the healing treasure, which gave Tianjia Sect enough face.
But compared to this... the young master of Haotian Sect is really...
They are both sects led by Ultimate Douluo, so how can there be such a huge difference between them?
At this time, Zheng Zhan and Zhang Lexuan were silent. They took incense and lit offerings, bowed three times, placed a storage ring on the table, and then quietly stepped away, saying goodbye:
"We will not reduce the compensation we owe you by a single cent. We all hate to see what happened today. Everyone, I apologize."
When they saw the two people from the Sun and Moon Empire burn incense and leave, many people from the original three kingdoms had changes in their expressions.
The smoke of the incense gradually obscured their vision, and it seemed as if they could no longer see the direction of the future...
