Buzzing!
With the surge of Yu Chen's soul power, three divine martial spirits manifested behind him simultaneously, and as the light condensed around him, a magnificent halo of spirit rings appeared beneath his feet!
Qinglong, Suzaku, Xuanwu!
Three supreme divine beasts, revered across the continent, emerged with an awe-inspiring aura. Accompanied by five pitch-black ten-thousand-year spirit rings, their presence shook the air with overwhelming might.
Bang! Bang!
The moment the aura of the three great divine martial spirits swept out, Huang Yuan and his two companions, who were casually conversing with Yu Chen, were instantly forced to their knees. The raw pressure from Yu Chen's martial spirits crushed them into submission.
Even those teachers of Lanba Academy who had never personally witnessed Yu Chen's martial soul—Liu Erlong among them—showed visible shock as their expressions changed under the suffocating spiritual pressure.
"What kind of martial soul is this? The pressure is divine!"
"I didn't feel anything before, but now that I'm standing here… Even as an eighty-first-ranked Contra, I can feel my soul trembling!"
"Moreover, he's only twelve! He's already at the thirty-seventh level? And how can he have five ten-thousand-year rings at the Spirit Elder stage?!"
Liu Erlong gazed intently at the three divine martial souls looming behind Yu Chen. The immense spirit power radiating from his body stunned her to the core.
She had expected Yu Chen's talent to be exceptional, but never this monstrous.
Twelve years old, yet already spirit power rank 37!
Not a single spirit ring below ten thousand years!
As a seasoned Contra, even she didn't possess that many high-year rings. It defied logic.
When she and Yu Xiaogang once roamed the continent together, she learned the truth of cultivation: attempting to absorb a ten-thousand-year ring at the thirtieth level usually led to death or madness.
But Yu Chen stood here calmly, possessing five such rings!
"This… Is he even human?"
The three from Huang Yuan's team, now barely able to stand, channeled their soul power just to avoid collapsing. Their faces were filled with disbelief as they stared up at the boy far younger than them, yet whose power towered far beyond theirs.
Not only was his soul power greater, but his martial spirits were also divine-grade!
"I warned them before, but they wouldn't listen. Now look at them—flattened by Brother Chen's soul pressure."
Dai Mubai, who had long been prepared, watched from the side. He and the rest of Shrek had already set up protective barriers using spirit power to defend against the pressure.
Ma Hongjun, his dyed-red hair gleaming, looked amused as he pointed at the trio.
They clearly foresaw this outcome from the start!
"I think there's no need to continue this farce, is there?"
Yu Chen's expression remained serene as he calmly addressed the three students before him.
Their soul power, around level 35, was still a full tier beneath his own. Struggling just to stand, how could they possibly fight him?
If he attacked, it would be over in an instant.
"Xiao Chen's talent isn't just rare—it's unique. He's in a class of his own."
"Now that everyone has seen his strength, this duel doesn't need to continue."
Liu Erlong, clearly understanding the disparity, agreed with a nod.
Hum!
With a single wave of his right hand, Yu Chen retracted his aura. The overwhelming power vanished as his three divine martial spirits and five dark spirit rings dissolved into his body.
The oppressive pressure lifted instantly, allowing Huang Yuan and his team to breathe freely again.
"Thank you, Brother Chen, for sparing us!"
Now able to speak, the trio bowed respectfully. On the Douluo Continent, age meant little—power was everything. Though Yu Chen was younger, his strength demanded reverence.
"You three aren't without talent either. We're short of personnel for the senior tournament coming up."
"From today onward, you'll train with Xiao Chen and his team."
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward with a warm smile and addressed the three, his tone both kind and commanding.
"Yes, Instructor!"
The three immediately responded with discipline and respect.
After the exchange between Yu Chen and Huang Yuan's team, the students and staff from Lanba Academy were finally settled into their new homes.
All equipment relocated from the Blue Tyrant Academy was successfully integrated into Shrek Academy's facilities.
With this additional support and the preexisting resources of Shrek, the academy now had enough to officially apply for recognition as an Advanced Spirit Master Academy under the Empire's education bureau.
"Oh, and I almost forgot," Liu Erlong recalled something. "We found a rare cultivation chamber in Blue Tyrant. It's small, but it boosts cultivation speed by 10%. Where should we install it?"
"Only ten percent?" Yu Xiaogang and Flender chuckled at the mention.
At that moment, Yu Chen gently raised his right hand. A radiant orb of light burst from his palm and expanded above the entire Shrek Academy grounds!
Mimicry Space—Activated!
"Principal Erlong, I think my cultivation speed just tripled!"
"Mine doubled too!"
One after another, the students of Blue Tyrant Academy cried out in amazement.
This new spatial domain, created by Yu Chen himself, amplified cultivation speed significantly beyond any previous chamber.
Liu Erlong felt her own soul power circulating faster and gasped in disbelief. "This… Xiao Chen is beyond anything I imagined."
Amid all the excitement and wonder, the students gathered and began focused cultivation.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar laughed as they trained, teasingly saying, "If you want to win Brother Chen's favor, you'll have to get past us first!"
Yu Chen simply smiled and meditated beside Xiao Wu, unaffected by the chatter.
As the Mimicry Space enveloped the school, the students became fully immersed in their training. Time seemed to fade, and before they knew it, night had fallen.
That evening, Headmaster Flender approached the group with a solemn expression, holding a bound soul beast in his hands.
"Our application for Advanced Academy status has reached the Empire's approval board. The reviewer is Prince Xue Xing of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
"He's invited us to Huangdou Academy for the formal review and to build ties between both schools. We leave in three days."
He looked over at the group of young geniuses, his eyes twinkling.
"Looks like we're heading out again, little monsters!"
