"Le Xuan, Nannan, you two have certainly accomplished something significant!" Xian Lin'er and Cai Meier arrived together, both startled by the aura of the Goddess of Light, which prompted them to investigate.
"Elder Xian, Elder Cai!" Zhang Lexuan immediately greeted them respectfully upon seeing them.
"It's a pity, though. The age difference between Le Xuan and Nannan is too great. Otherwise, if you two participated in the Soul Master Competition together, you would surely astonish all Spirit Masters on the entire continent!" Cai Meier said, a hint of regret on her face.
"Meier, your knowledge is shallow," Xian Lin'er retorted. "Whether or not they participate in the Soul Master Competition is secondary. The most important thing is that Le Xuan and Nannan's Spirit Fusion Skill can become a new trump card for the academy! Both Le Xuan and Nannan, their talents are destined to make them Titled Douluo, or even Super Douluo. By then, their Spirit Fusion Skill will undoubtedly become a major killing move for our academy!"
"That's true, but they will probably need more than ten years to become Titled Douluo!" Cai Meier said with a smile, her tone carrying both anticipation and helplessness.
Zhu Ziyang and the others listened to Xian Lin'er and Cai Meier's praise for Zhang Lexuan and Jiang Nannan, and they all deeply agreed. As the first to directly experience their Spirit Fusion Skill, Zhu Ziyang and the others had the most right to speak.
Due to Jiang Nannan's spirit power exhaustion, today's training could only end. After Zhu Ziyang sent Jiang Nannan back to her room, he returned to his own room.
He sat by the window, holding a thin book, reading it carefully.
The book, titled "The Ten Rarest Spirits on the Douluo Continent," was written five thousand years ago. Its content was simple: it listed the ten types of Spirits that had appeared on the Douluo Continent with the fewest users. Although the title might seem a bit sensational, the content was indeed very valuable, as its author was the then-dean of Shrek Academy.
Why did Zhu Ziyang suddenly start reading this book? It was because this book contained the most detailed information about the Goddess of Light Butterfly.
... The third rarest Spirit on the continent — Goddess of Light Butterfly.
Goddess of Light Butterfly, Beast Spirit, Light Attribute, top-tier Spirit.
The Goddess of Light Butterfly is the most beautiful butterfly Spirit Beast on the continent, one of the most beautiful Spirit Beasts. Because of its extreme beauty, the Goddess of Light Butterfly Spirit only awakens in female Spirit Masters, and the awakening rate is extremely low, less than one-tenth.
This Spirit belongs to a non-hereditary Spirit, meaning it cannot be passed down through bloodline, which is why it is extremely rare. Throughout the history of the continent, only three Goddess of Light Butterfly Spirit Masters have appeared: one was an empress of the Heaven Dou Empire, one was the wife of a certain Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall, and another was a noblewoman of unknown identity. All three were peerless beauties whose charm captivated the entire continent.
Legend has it that the Goddess of Light Butterfly was the pet of the Goddess of Light, and thus possesses powerful Light Attribute. Its combat ability is extremely formidable, rumored to be able to contend with true dragons without falling into a disadvantage...
"Indeed, it seems I didn't remember it wrong!" Zhu Ziyang exclaimed, then a playful smile appeared on his face. He could now basically confirm that Wang Dong was a girl. Perhaps, she should be called Wang Dong'er, or Tang Dong'er.

Within the Undead Demiplane.
Zhu Ziyang and Electrolux stood opposite each other. Zhu Ziyang held the Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe, his eyes slightly furrowed, his expression serious, his lips moving as if chanting a spell. Electrolux, on the other hand, looked on expectantly, his gaze fixed on Zhu Ziyang's movements.
The Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe drew a circle in the air. Then, Zhu Ziyang's voice gradually grew louder, and obscure, difficult-to-understand incantations transformed into energy runes, forming a formation along the circle drawn by the Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe in the air. The tip of the Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe gathered a greyish-white airflow, which swirled and slowly expanded, then filled the entire circle.
After Zhu Ziyang finished chanting, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Then, his right hand, holding the Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe, suddenly sank downwards. The Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe stood firmly on the ground, and a gate emitting a dark, gloomy aura of death slowly rose from the ground. A skeletal hand stretched out from within.
Immediately after, under the expectant gazes of Zhu Ziyang and Electrolux, a white skeleton walked out from the portal. The white skeleton was two meters tall, holding a bone saber and a bone shield. A vigorous soul fire burned in its skull, and a flame crystal, beating like a heart, pulsed in its chest. This was an undead creature, a Skeleton Warrior.
"Master!" The Skeleton Warrior respectfully knelt before Zhu Ziyang, surrendering to him in the purest Douluo Continent language.
"Excellent!" Zhu Ziyang was very excited. He looked at Electrolux and said, "Teacher, I succeeded!"
"That's right! You succeeded!" Electrolux was also very excited and said, "This means you have already graduated! I am very pleased! This Skeleton Warrior has a five-ring Spirit King's strength. To summon it so smoothly on your first try, you are indeed a disciple personally taught by me, Electrolux! Hahahaha!"
Just as Zhu Ziyang and Electrolux were celebrating, an unexpected change occurred.
A crack suddenly appeared in the sky of the Undead Demiplane, revealing a mysterious, dim void. Immediately after, a purple lightning bolt descended from the void, carrying a majestic, inviolable heavenly might, striking directly onto the Skeleton Warrior summoned by Zhu Ziyang. In just an instant, a Spirit King-level undead creature was completely annihilated, not even a speck of dust remaining!
"This..." The sudden turn of events terrified Zhu Ziyang. He clearly felt the power of judgment contained within that heavenly lightning, as if it were warning him, leaving him at a loss as he looked at Electrolux.
Electrolux was also stunned by the lightning that intruded into the Undead Demiplane. After a moment of blank expression, he let out a helpless bitter smile and said to Zhu Ziyang, "Alas! Ziyang, it was my oversight. I neglected the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth. It seems that Undead Summoning cannot be used on the Douluo Continent. That Purple Xiao Divine Lightning just now was a warning!"
"Ah?" Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but open his mouth wide, feeling both lingering fear and a bit of difficulty accepting it. He said, "Teacher, do you mean that the rules of the Douluo Continent do not allow the appearance of undead creatures? Then why can the undead creatures from the Undead Demiplane be summoned by me to the Douluo Continent?"
"You didn't understand what I meant!" Electrolux explained. "What I meant is that the rules of the Douluo Continent do not allow the creatures of the Douluo Continent's underworld to appear in the mortal realm. The undead creatures within the Undead Demiplane are all creatures from my World, so they are naturally not subject to the rules of the Douluo Continent. You see, you cannot continue to use Undead Summoning in the future."
"I see!" Zhu Zi Yang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed upon hearing this. Having studied Undead Summoning for so long, only to find it unusable, was truly frustrating.
"You don't need to be disheartened," Electrolux comforted him. "Undead Summoning, for you, is something that's nice to have but not essential. Having it would be icing on the cake, but not having it won't hinder your strength. Besides, it's only Undead Summoning that's unusable. Don't you still have other Undead Magic that I taught you?"
"En, en, I understand, Teacher." Electrolux's comfort significantly improved Zhu Ziyang's mood. He then thought of the lightning from before, his curiosity piqued, and asked, "Teacher, what was that lightning just now?"
"Purple Xiao Divine Lightning, the most powerful lightning between heaven and earth, a terrifying lightning formed by the purest essence of the Great Dao and the righteous qi of heaven and earth. It is said to be the executor of the World's punishments, and generally only descends when the World's rules are violated," Electrolux said, his voice filled with reverence.
"Like what we just did?" Zhu Ziyang clicked his tongue, feeling his lips dry and his tongue powerless, as he spoke.
"Yes!" Electrolux nodded helplessly and said, "It is said that a single bolt of Purple Xiao Divine Lightning can easily obliterate a ninth-tier professional, which is your Titled Douluo. So, it's better for us to be honest and not easily try Undead Summoning again."
"I understand, Teacher!" Zhu Ziyang nodded repeatedly, indicating his understanding.
Lightning capable of easily obliterating a Titled Douluo—this brought Zhu Ziyang an incredibly strong shock. Even if Electrolux hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have planned to use Undead Summoning again. He hadn't lived enough yet! At least, before becoming a god, he couldn't provoke the Purple Xiao Divine Lightning again.
Becoming a god should be able to deal with the Purple Xiao Divine Lightning, right? Zhu Ziyang thought of that mysterious voice of a god. It had been three or four months since that voice of a god appeared, but every time Zhu Ziyang thought of it, he still found it difficult to calm his turbulent emotions.
