"Where is my divine sense mark?!"
Tang San's face stiffened, and he immediately flew into a rage. With a wave of his large hand, the surrounding space twisted into a vortex, resembling a bright mirror. It reflected the current appearance of Star Luo City, where his divine sense mark had last appeared…
But it had completely lost its trail.
"This is impossible…"
As a god-king and Asura law enforcer, his status was so high that even the two primordial gods, Life and Destruction, were on par with him. Yet, he had been inexplicably devoured; it was simply a great humiliation.
Without the connection, he couldn't find Wang Dong'er's figure at the first moment. He needed to cast out his divine sense and search every inch of Star Luo City inside and out.
But the next instant…
The vortex mirror shattered into pieces. His connection to the Douluo Plane was also completely terminated at this moment.
A more powerful and brutal divine force intervened.
Tang San's face darkened. He slowly raised his head and looked at the God of Destruction, who had emerged from the mist in the distance.
The corners of his eyes twitched violently.
This was right at his own doorstep.
And this guy…had actually been camping here without him knowing.
It was simply…too perverted.
"Destruction, what do you want to do?" Tang San said coldly.
"Sea God, I should be the one asking you that. You vetoed my plan to expand the God Realm, yet you have repeatedly and secretly interfered in the Lower Realm. What is the meaning of this? Could it be that you intend to cultivate your own forces in secret and dominate the God Realm alone?"
Destruction exhaled a cloud, brushed away the clouds that had stained his hair, and looked at Tang San with a playful gaze.
Looking at this, it was clear he had been camping here for a long time.
Tang San: " …"
"Wutong went to the Lower Realm. As a father, I am naturally worried about whether she will encounter any accidents. Destruction, don't think of people so badly…" Tang San's eyelids twitched, nearly thinking he had been exposed by Destruction. But seeing this guy's deceitful demeanor, he understood in his heart and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wutong, that is true." Upon hearing Wutong, Destruction's gaze softened for a moment, but soon, he glanced at Tang San indifferently: "I hope you have no other moves. I will keep watching you…forever…"
As he spoke, he pointed to his eyes and then pointed to Tang San.
Tang San's face twitched, but he couldn't find any loopholes.
After all, it was a rule set down since ancient times that the God Realm must not interfere with the Lower Realm. Although he had established a firm foothold in the God Realm and had his own forces, the price to pay for openly defying it was not small, not to mention that he had been arguing endlessly with Destruction recently over whether to expand the God Realm.
He could not let this guy catch his tail.
It wasn't until Destruction's figure disappeared that Tang San snapped out of his daze.
What was he going to do…
Dong'er!!
Damn it. Tang San's expression was gloomy. Although his daughter's main soul was still intact in his hands, her physical body had gone to the Lower Realm and was now Wang Dong'er. If something went wrong with Wang Dong'er, his daughter would become a wandering ghost. Although he could create another physical body with his God King status, how could it compare to an innate physical body?
He wanted to use his divine force to investigate, but his gaze involuntarily drifted toward the depths of the sea of clouds.
The words Destruction said when he left surfaced in his mind.
I will watch you forever…forever.
Tang San: "#!!!"
The fish had eaten the bait clean, broken the fishing rod, and run away. There was no other way; he could only contact Da Ming and Er Ming to finish the job.
Tang San's eyes were cold: "Lu Cheng…I have underestimated you."
…
The competition was becoming increasingly intense.
However, the Shrek Academy team had become relaxed. Since Lu Cheng's battle, the entire Qianling Team had been sent home early (the main members were all seriously injured and unable to participate in subsequent competitions), so the other teams would rather surrender voluntarily than "give it a try."
Even the Zheng Tian Academy, which had three Soul Kings and was an undisputed strong team, chose to admit defeat without hesitation when facing Shrek Academy.
They didn't even go through the process of sending the captain to the stage to draw lots for the battle method; they surrendered directly.
This suited Lu Cheng just fine, as he hid in the hotel to learn necromancy with Electrolux.
What was surprising was that the person who finally arrived at Star Luo City to provide support was not Elder Xuan, but Yan Shaozhe. This Dean of the Martial Soul Department brought shocking news… Elder Xuan had been imprisoned in the Sea God Pavilion and was not allowed to leave for three years. This punishment was quite fatal for Elder Xuan, but Lu Cheng was indifferent.
Even if Yan Shaozhe didn't like Lu Cheng, he was hindered by the current special situation. The main team disciples would need a few more days to fully recover and return to the stage, so he still had to rely on Lu Cheng. Therefore, even though the two had long since fallen out, he had to pretend to be magnanimous.
Every day, Lu Cheng stayed in his room, and they didn't see each other, which was peaceful.
It was just hard on Teacher Wang Yan. Yan Shaozhe knew his relationship with Lu Cheng was poor, so he began to pressure Teacher Wang Yan. They had come this far; one more step and it would be the championship. You would be an inner court elder of Shrek Academy, with immeasurable benefits. But if you lose and lose the championship…
That would not just be losing the reward. You would be the eternal sinner of Shrek Academy. Future Shrek Academy students would despise you, knowing that Shrek Academy's ten thousand years of being number one was broken in your hands.
Teacher Wang Yan couldn't sleep at night, staying up all night every day to observe the enemy teams, afraid of missing every detail. Seeing this, Lu Cheng just sneered. Shrek's PUA skills were indeed top-notch.
A traditional unique skill.
Inside the Undead Plane.
The sky was covered in dark clouds. The entire world consisted of endless parched hills, a place of dead silence. Only occasionally did a low, hoarse dragon roar come from the depths, along with the sounds made by the skeletons around.
This world was dead, with no life qi.
"This Undead Plane is considered my semi-finished product. It is rare that you are interested in necromancy, so I will teach it to you." Seeing that Lu Cheng not only did not have the slightest disgust but was instead curiously examining the strange undead skeletons around him, Electrolux's eyes flashed with gentleness, and he nodded slightly.
After speaking, he lightly tapped the center of Lu Cheng's forehead.
A faint grey mist surged from his fingertips and instantly drilled into Lu Cheng's forehead. Afterward, the skin on his body gradually turned grey, and at the same time, golden patterns emanated from it, looking quite strange.
But soon Lu Cheng opened his eyes in surprise.
He raised his hand casually.
A team of crooked little undead skeletons walked over. They were all about 1.4 meters tall. Some had no heads, some were holding their companions' arms, and one was using a broken bone as a weapon, looking quite funny and amusing.
"These are all my experimental products. Of course, these little guys are considered defective products…" Electrolux smiled and bent down, gently stroking the heads of these undead skeletons. The latter sensed the intimate death aura on Electrolux and immediately gathered around, jumping up and down.
"So, this plane was actually a vibrant world once?" Lu Cheng had completely obtained the control authority of this world. He looked down at all the creatures like a god and only after a while did he detach from that perspective, saying with a complex expression.
"Not bad, I didn't expect you to see it…" Electrolux nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a sense of recollection and sighing.
Lu Cheng's eyes were calm.
The original work mentioned that Electrolux was betrayed by his lover and obtained the Legacy of the Necromancer. Since then, starting from a city-state in the Saint Demon Continent, he turned everyone in the entire city into undead and then rolled like a snowball to make a comeback.
Those millions of undead armies, although they had consumed quite a lot, the remaining ones…basically all were in this semi-plane.
And after inheriting the plane, Lu Cheng also learned that the undead were not immortal. It was just that when they were resurrected, they needed to consume a portion of the Necromancer's energy.
These skeletons didn't need energy to resurrect because this Undead Plane itself possessed the energy left behind by Electrolux when he was close to a god. Even after experiencing the vicissitudes of life and catastrophes, it was still as vast as the sea.
At least enough to support the resurrection of these nearly one million undead armies three or four times.
"corpse explosion…"
Lu Cheng pondered something.
A moment later, seemingly thinking of something, he pointed slightly at a small skeleton in front of him. The latter instantly froze into a lifelike ice sculpture. The surrounding small skeletons were full of curiosity and gathered around them. One took a half-cut bone in its hand and knocked on the ice sculpture, but it only made a hard sound.
The corners of Lu Cheng's mouth curled into a smile.
He clenched his palm slowly.
Rumble!
The roaring sound suddenly spread for several miles. A wave of air spread from the ice sculpture as the center in all directions, instantly blowing the surrounding small skeletons into pieces and, at the same time, attracting many other more powerful skeletons.
Undead knights riding war horses with empty eye sockets and only a glimmer of dark blue flame jumping, as well as bone dragons flying in the sky with only skeletons and no flesh and blood.
The most powerful Bone Dragon among them was even a thousand meters long, which left Lu Cheng dumbfounded.
"This is a real Dragon, right?"
"Hehe…" Electrolux just smiled and didn't say anything.
"However, the experimental results are also very clear."
Many undead creatures were attracted by the explosion, and they all swarmed over, but after seeing Lu Cheng and Electrolux, they slowly dispersed like zombies, wandering in this vast, lifeless world.
Lu Cheng's eyes stared intently at the group of departing undead, a flash of joy in his eyes.
"Ice Explosion can be used on the undead."
The Ice Explosion in the original work was more powerful than the corpse explosion because after freezing the corpse, it could also completely explode the energy accumulated in the corpse. For example, Huo Yuhao used Ice Explosion on a ten-thousand-year spirit beast, blowing a multi-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear into serious injury.
Therefore, Ice Explosion has always been a top-tier god-level skill.
And if Ice Explosion is added to the undead, it can also explode the energy in the undead, which is quite terrifying…
In the future, it can definitely be called one of his life-saving god-level skills.
"Hehe, your idea is quite good." Electrolux stroked his beard, his eyes flashing with approval.
It can be considered that the function of this Undead Plane has been excavated to the greatest extent.
Click~
With a crisp sound, the small undead soldiers who had just had their bones shattered into powder and blown to pieces slowly recovered their original bodies. Some scratched their heads, and the nether fire flickered in their pupils, seeming a bit confused about what had just happened.
"However…if they could carry it, it would be even better."
Lu Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
What he wanted was a suicide bomber truck, not a stationary landmine.
If the undead could carry the Ultimate Ice attribute and move freely at the same time, not like a corpse but flexible, and then add this kind of super weapon, like a Bone Dragon that drops directly from the sky…
Lu Cheng was confident that he could directly destroy an empire.
"I understand what you mean." Electrolux nodded with a smile.
"Go ahead, leave the rest to me. It just so happens that I have nothing to do these days."
"…"
Lu Cheng smiled.
Sure enough, having an old person at home is like having a treasure, not to mention that this one is a super old antique.
Here, you can always trust Electrolux.
"Okay, teacher."
Lu Cheng did not hesitate and turned to study the "third martial soul" he inherited from Electrolux, a grey-black soul ring that contained almost all Necromancy.
It also came with some teleportation formations and the like. Although it was quite profound and complicated, if he could master it proficiently, it would be equivalent to cheating in the Douluo world.
"Round of 16!"
…
As the group stage ended completely.
Shrek Academy also successfully made it to the Round of 16. There was no dispute; after all, Lu Cheng's deterrent power before was quite terrifying. One arrow shattered the confidence of the other teams in the same group, and they all avoided his edge.
But as time progressed to the final knockout stage of the Round of 16, the many teams would no longer hold back at all. They would all try their best. Losing is losing, and winning is winning.
They had to bring out their trump cards.
Therefore, the future path of Shrek Academy would also be bloody, no longer as calm as child's play as it was before.
"I can already go on stage!" Ma Xiaotao was unwilling to be calm. She had been holding back a belly of anger while recuperating these days.
"What kind of thing is this Douling Academy? I can burn them all clean with one fire."
"You are our trump card; you cannot go on stage."
But no matter how angry Ma Xiaotao was, Teacher Wang Yan's expression was cold, and he only had this one sentence.
"Even if Luo Chen and Gongyang Mo go on stage, you cannot go. As a Soul Saint, you are the great killer of Shrek Academy. You are meant to deal with truly difficult enemies, not for you to go on stage and vent now."
"Teacher!" Ma Xiaotao looked at Yan Shaozhe on the side angrily.
"Xiaotao, be steady." Yan Shaozhe smiled and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, speaking softly.
"You are indeed not at your peak right now. It would be a bit too hasty to go on stage now. Let's send Xiao Cheng up first."
"Damn it." Ma Xiaotao bit her silver teeth.
She was not Teacher Wang Yan, nor was she Yan Shaozhe. She was Lu Cheng's confidante and knew from the beginning that Lu Cheng was planning to run away in the final. So if she didn't go on stage again, she was afraid there would be no matches left to play.
"Something wrong?" Yan Shaozhe raised an eyebrow.
"No, nothing…"
Ma Xiaotao said aggrievedly, a flash of guilt and apology in her eyes. I'm really sorry, teacher. Who told the opponent to be Lu Cheng? I can only make you suffer a bit more.
"Don't worry, I will definitely let you play in the finals," Yan Shaozhe comforted.
"Oh oh…" Ma Xiaotao felt even more guilty.
If she surrendered on the spot in the finals, the teacher shouldn't go crazy, right…
