--- Chapter 244 ---

"Ahh..." Yunlong released a yawn.

He was tired because of his research last night, which somehow tested his spirit and spiritual power capacity.

It was over the top when Yunlong created three thousand shadow clones. He pushed his research about the spirit soul and achieved quite fruitful results.

With [Principle of Soul], a new passive Yunlong just obtained, he progressed so quickly and even created some spiritual attacks along the way.

However, even with a mental capacity that could rival or surpass a titled douluo, he still suffered a light headache.

"3000 really put a toll on me, huh," Yunlong commented while massaging his temple.

"Are you okay?" Bibi Dong asked. "I didn't ask this before, but why was your face pale after you stepped out of the workshop?"

She leaned over slightly and grasped his forehead for a moment with her hands. "Hmm... I didn't notice anything wrong," She said.

"I got a mild headache," Yunlong naturally responded with a weak smile. "That's it."

"I see." Bibi Dong pondered something for a second.

She suddenly took out light-framed glasses from her spatial storage and put them on Yunlong.

"This should help." She calmly commented, which caused Yunlong to wonder because a subtle warm wave seemed to massage his head.

"it's a spirit tool to relieve spiritual energy inside the brain." She added. "I want to give it to you on your birthday, but you were busy at the time."

Yunlong suddenly became quiet, and Bibi Dong giggled a little when looking at his reaction.

"It's okay. I understand that you don't have much time." She casually said.

"I'll try to compensate for this later," Yunlong replied while shaking his head slightly.

"Sure." Bibi Dong shrugged her shoulders.

They chatted briefly and caused the audience to look at them with curious gazes. Although, most of it was the female audience who couldn't help but be fascinated by Yunlong's looks even more.

"Hey, look! The holy son wore glasses now."

"Kyaa, he looked more handsome."

"How could a person look so charming?"

As the female audience squealed in joy, Yu Xiaogang and other males silently observed Yunlong with a keen gaze.

"What kind of relationship does he have with Bibi Dong?" Yu Xiaogang muttered solemnly. "They seemed so close with each other."

BOOM!

The stage suddenly released a great shock, which caused Yu Xiaogang to move his gaze on the Shrek Seven Devils' pillar.

He noticed a pillar had gone down because it's been 5 minutes since the second round started.

The team that lost their pillar was west martial school, but they weirdly didn't attack anyone for some reason.

"Captain, what should we do?" The west martial school member, Ying Chu, asked.

The west martial school's captain, Zhong Fei, calmly observed every single team and noticed a few of them were guarding their pillars.

Meanwhile, the other ambitious team straightly aimed for the fireballs.

"Hmm, how weird... The judge never stated how many teams will pass in this round." Zhong Fei glanced at Liu Erlong, who casually floated on her platform.

"Captain! The pillar almost reaches the ground." Ying Chu warned with a worried expression.

Zhong Feng quickly activated his martial soul, and four spirit rings materialized around him. A fiery crane burst out of thin air and released a piercing cry.

The east martial school looked at the fiery crane with a solemn expression.

"Zhong Fei finally used it, huh." The east martial school's captain, Xin Ge, commented.

"Then I'll use my martial soul too." He added while manifesting a golden-scaled serpent on the stage.

BOOM!

The creature enlarged and grew into a golden snake, which released the pressure of a dragon.

ROAR!

"These teams are clearly above average." Hu Liena said while looking at the two beasts, which were rare.

"Crimson Crane and Dragon-Blooded Serpent." She continued. "These beasts appeared around 100 years ago and have a potential to become stronger, but they lack a path to grow."

Hu Liena tilted her head a little and saw a silver needle pass in front of her face. "This? throwing weapons..." She muttered.

She moved her gaze on the Shrek Academy and noticed the black-haired boy who tricked the entire stage before, aiming his weapon at her.

"What's his motive?" She activated her fox martial soul and created a mist around their pillar, so people couldn't clearly see them.

"As expected, they didn't even try to attack us." Tang San said while observing the spirit hall golden generation. "They knew something that we didn't know in this round."

"San Ge, Dodge!" Xiao Wu suddenly shouted, to which Tang San reacted with a jump to the side.

Tang San hurriedly looked at where he stood before and saw the ground actually was melted with the fiery flame.

A man in a fiery appearance emerged in the sky, and he looked down on Shrek Academy for a moment.

"Flame Shower." Zhong Fei released a series of fireballs at them.

Tang San and his teammate quickly dodged the fireballs, spreading out for around two meters apart. They glanced at each other and nodded because it was all according to the plan.

Ma Hongjun burst out toward Zhong Fei and pushed him away from the air. "I'm the king of the bird here, burn little chicken." He launched a fiery punch.

Zhong Fei sneered and was about to counter with a powerful kick swiftly, but a girl suddenly sprained his neck.

"What the..." Zhong Fei felt his legs abruptly being grabbed by something.

"Eight Stage Drops." Xiao Wu whispered while using her charm, paralyzing Zhong Fei.

BOOM!

Xiao Wu swung Zhong Fei down to the pillars and performed several bone dislocations for him.

"One, two, three, four, five." She kicked him on the chest and pulled him back with another drop to the pillar.

"Six." Xiao Wu lessened her strength and launched Zhong Fei's body into the air.

"Captain!" Ying Chu shouted while running toward Zhong Fei, and Shrek Seven Devils had prepared for this situation.

Tang San blocked Ying Chu's path and covered him with blue silver grass. Another team appeared to attack Shrek Seven Devils, but obviously, they all prepared.

Ma Xioatao had been fighting against Su Yanyu for more than five minutes, and they tried to put down the fireballs, yet neither of them let each other move.

"You aren't bad." Su Yanyu commented while floating above a small wind vortex. "It was quite unfortunate that you learned from that man."

"Huh?" Ma Xioatao frowned because she didn't grasp Su Yanyu's comment.

BOOM!

Another pillar goes down, and Su Yanyu smirks inside because two teams lost their spots. "We only have to wait, and eh?" She noticed one of the fireballs had disappeared.

BOOM!

Su Yanyu quickly glanced over her right side and saw another pillar going down, which caught her off guard. "Don't tell me..." She moved her gaze to Liu Erlong.

"Correct, for each fireball, one pillar will go down." Liu Erlong chuckled, which left every contestant speechless.

"If you guys kept staying passive like this and didn't attack other teams, we would probably just go to the final straight away." She casually added.

"You're as bothersome as ever, teacher." Su Yanyu whispered between her breaths.

"But who put that fireball down, though...."
