Divine-level Base-Chapter 86: Defeating Shangguan Xiong

Gelong’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a hint of delight. "Shu Feng? This little guy is full of surprises. His Spiritual Ability is truly formidable!"

Song He’s gaze also lingered on Shu Feng’s Dream Realm monitor for a moment longer. The ability to summon one hundred Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Void Demons while only in the Spirit Warrior Realm was already comparable to an Earth-level Upper Grade Spiritual Ability. Even at a training institution for Spiritualists like Shuijing High School, a place teeming with geniuses, he would be counted among their ranks.

「In the Dream Mountain Forest.」

"Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Void Demon? Die!"

Shangguan Xiong, who was covered in a layer of Ice Armor, suddenly looked up and saw a Black Dog Void Demon hidden several hundred meters away. He sneered, flicked his finger, and an Ice Cone shot out like a shooting star, slamming into the Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Void Demon.

With a flash of icy light, the Black Dog Void Demon hundreds of meters away was struck by the Ice Cone. A frosty mist materialized around it, freezing it into an ice sculpture.

’Is Shu Feng at the summit?’

Shangguan Xiong glanced at the frozen Black Dog Void Demon, full of confidence, and strolled towards the summit.

BANG!

A gunshot rang out, and a black ray of light shot from the summit toward Shangguan Xiong.

Before the shot even rang out, Shangguan Xiong had already used an uncanny and ethereal Body Technique, his figure blurring as he dodged the shot imbued with Spiritual Power. He looked up and saw Shu Feng hundreds of meters away, surrounded by five Black Dog Void Demons.

"Shu Feng, you’re too weak! The moment I spotted you, your defeat was sealed!"

Shangguan Xiong laughed heartily, brimming with confidence. His figure flickered as he raced towards the summit.

In that instant, the surrounding grass rustled, and one Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Void Demon after another pounced frantically at Shangguan Xiong.

"Damn it!! How can there be so many Summoned Beasts?"

The moment Shangguan Xiong saw the ninety-nine Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Void Demons charging at him, his expression changed drastically. He retreated rapidly, channeling his Spiritual Power and firing off volleys of Ice Cones that slammed into the Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Void Demons like shooting stars.

Icy flowers bloomed one after another as the Black Dog Void Demons were frozen into ice sculptures.

But after only ten Black Dog Void Demons were frozen, the remaining ninety swarmed in front of Shangguan Xiong.

"Ice and Snow Storm!"

Shangguan Xiong roared, and a ferociously violent Ice and Snow Storm materialized around him, blasting outwards.

Twenty-three Black Dog Void Demons were caught in the blast and were instantly frozen into ice sculptures.

The remaining sixty-seven Black Dog Void Demons struggled forcefully, shattering the thin layer of ice on their bodies. They then lunged at Shangguan Xiong and began to tear at him madly.

After a piercing scream, Shangguan Xiong turned into a puff of black smoke and vanished.

The entire Dream Realm trembled slightly, then began to collapse and disappear.

’I actually lost!!’

As soon as Shangguan Xiong regained consciousness, his gaze shifted and fell upon Shu Feng, a trace of indignation flashing in his eyes.

"Shangguan Xiong lost!! He’s the sixth seed, someone with the strength to challenge for the top spot among the new students!"

"A dark horse!! That kid Shu Feng is a true dark horse!!"

"Hundred Dog Summoning!! With that move alone, he has the strength to vie for the title of number one freshman!"

"..."

One scorching gaze after another focused on Shu Feng. This battle had instantly made him one of the seeds most likely to contend for the top spot among the Spiritual Power Element’s new students.

’Li Xuan Yi is so fast. He’s already dealt with his opponent!’

Shu Feng looked towards Li Xuan Yi and saw him sitting in his seat, watching the other matches leisurely.

The moment Shu Feng laid eyes on Li Xuan Yi, the latter seemed to sense it, turning to look back at Shu Feng with a slight, elegant smile.

Shu Feng’s heart tightened. ’What a powerful Spiritual Sense. He’s worthy of his title as the number one seed and a Spirit Master-level expert!’

Li Xuan Yi was a Spirit Master-level expert, a truly peerless prodigy. If Zhou Yang didn’t use the Lei Jiang Branch’s Secret Treasure, he likely wouldn’t be a match for him. Even Shu Feng’s own Spiritual Sense might not be comparable to Li Xuan Yi’s.

Another half hour passed before this round of battles ended. All the seeded contestants easily defeated their opponents, and Luo Feng also defeated his.

"Hundred Dog Summoning, Ah Feng, you really were hiding your strength! Your Spiritual Ability to summon Void Demons is probably already comparable to Earth Level. How about we team up for adventures in the Erosion Realm in the future?"

As soon as they were dismissed, Ma Jue came over, acting familiar, and said with fiery enthusiasm.

The Erosion Realm was filled with countless terrifying Void Demons, powerful monsters tainted by the Power of Void Demon, and mutated plants. Many conglomerates and Noble Families on Blue Star were eager to acquire all sorts of resources from the Erosion Realm.

Every year, many Adventurers made their fortunes overnight in the Erosion Realm, and just as many were buried there. In the perilous Erosion Realm, people generally operated in small teams. Lone wolves were rare, and they were also the most likely to die.

Shu Feng smiled slightly, giving a noncommittal answer, "I’ll consider it!"

Venturing into the Erosion Realm could yield immense profits, and there were countless cases of good friends turning on each other for personal gain. Ma Jin himself had encountered situations where teammates betrayed him over an unequal division of spoils. After escaping with his life twice, he had decisively chosen to retire, unwilling to live that life on the edge any longer.

Even if Shu Feng were to accept partners and form a team, he would have to choose people he could absolutely trust. Otherwise, having a traitor among his own teammates would be even more terrifying and dangerous than facing a powerful enemy.

The next day, Shu Feng’s opponent was Zhou He, a prodigy from Class 1. The terrain was a grassland. He simply summoned a hundred Black Dog Void Demons to swarm Zhou He, eliminating him directly and smoothly advancing to the top 8.

Besides the five major seeds and Shu Feng, the prodigies in the top 8 also included Luo Feng and a female student named Xiao Jing.

In the battle for the top 8, Shu Feng’s opponent was Luo Feng, and the terrain for their fight was a set of dilapidated ancient ruins. The moment they entered the Dream Realm, Luo Feng decisively forfeited, allowing Shu Feng to advance smoothly to the top 4.

Li Xuan Yi easily defeated the third-ranked Shen Feng, Zhao Zixing defeated Xiao Jing, and Zhou Yun defeated Sheng Minghai to directly enter the top 4.

Among those three battles, the fight between the two great beauties, Zhao Zixing and Xiao Jing, attracted the most attention. The battle between Zhou Yun and Sheng Minghai was the most unexpected; no one had thought that Zhou Yun’s Thunderlight Demon Wolf would easily defeat Sheng Minghai in a single encounter.

Next, the most anticipated battles of the top 4 began. Shu Feng’s opponent was the number one seed, Li Xuan Yi! Zhao Zixing’s opponent was Zhou Yun.

On the day of the top 4 battles, the area around the Spiritual Power Element’s Central Square was packed with students from the department, every one of them filled with excitement and anticipation.

"Who do you think will win this fight, Shu Feng or Li Xuan Yi?"

"Shu Feng’s Hundred Dog Summoning is just unstoppable!! I think he’s got this one!"

"But Li Xuan Yi is a Spirit Master-level expert. He’s unfathomable. I think he’ll win!"

"Let’s make a bet!"

"A bet’s a bet! What are the stakes?"

"..."

The students of the Spiritual Power Element chattered excitedly, each with their own favorite to win.
