Soon, Emperor Xue Ye returned to the Imperial Study, holding a gemstone that was only the size of a palm and shaped like a three-dimensional triangle. It was a deep blue color, with a bluish light and a mystical aura radiating from it, and the crystal had lines resembling ripples on its surface.
"Master Wen, this is the royal treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud." Emperor Xue Ye handed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to Su Wen, his eyes showing a hint of reluctance.
He had predicted this in his heart.
Once the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was given away, it would be difficult to get it back. Even if Su Wen were to return it later, would he really accept it again?
Sigh, let it be an investment in Master Wen.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Su Wen took the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and did not linger. After Emperor Xue Ye made his final decision on the ten Spirit Skills from the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques, Su Wen left.
As for the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques, he would deliver it to the royal family later. He couldn't just quickly create ten pages of the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques in front of Emperor Xue Ye, could he?
"This Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is not ordinary."
After leaving the royal palace, Fighting Heaven Douluo finally spoke. His gaze was fixed on the blue crystal in Su Wen's hand, and his expression was very serious.
"This is very likely left by a deity."
"I know."
"You know?" Fighting Heaven Douluo thought of Su Wen's special visit for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and immediately showed an understanding expression.
"Then which deity left this?"
Su Wen glanced at Fighting Heaven Douluo and smiled, "Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the vast sea, which deity do you think left it?"
Fighting Heaven Douluo's mouth twitched as he thought of the answer—Sea God. Now, Sea God left the deepest impression on him as being exceptionally wealthy and influential. Damn, even a Yellow-level assessment could get a God Bestowed Spirit Ring!
"Once I deal with Tang San, I will try to go to sea and visit Sea God Island. Perhaps you could try to see if you can get an assessment from Sea God."
Upon hearing this, Fighting Heaven Douluo's eyes brightened immediately.
This is great!
"Although your Spirit Rings are already full, the age of the Spirit Rings still falls short by a lot. If you can obtain a Red-level assessment, then while it's hard to say if all your Spirit Rings could reach ten thousand years, at least your first Spirit Ring could be upgraded to over five thousand years, and the Fourth Spirit Ring could also have a chance to be upgraded to over ten thousand years."
Hiss~
Fighting Heaven Douluo gasped in shock.
The assessment from a deity could actually increase the age of Spirit Rings?
Upon realizing Fighting Heaven Douluo's shock, Su Wen fell silent.
Wait, who exactly is the deity's guardian here? How come you know more about it than I do?
After mentally complaining, Su Wen started to offer more realistic guesses.
Since Sea God is a 1st Class deity, the difficulty of the assessment would be higher than that of War God. Therefore, obtaining a Red-level assessment would be very difficult.
"A Red-level assessment would actually be quite hard for you. It's highly probable that it will be a Black-level assessment, and for a Black-level assessment, I'm not sure what kind of reward you might receive."
From Su Wen's memory, it seemed that only Red-level assessments and Divine Tests offered rewards that could increase the age of Spirit Rings, while Black-level assessments were more likely to provide Soul Power increases or God Bestowed Spirit Rings. However, Fighting Heaven Douluo's situation was clearly different.
If he received a reward that increased his Soul Power by two levels in 1st Class, wouldn't that directly make him level ninety-nine?
This is even more practical than increasing the age of Spirit Rings.
"It's okay; being able to receive a reward is already very satisfying. We shouldn't be too greedy." Fighting Heaven Douluo tried hard to suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth and forced himself to appear calm.
...
Half a month later.
Shrek Academy.
"I did it!" Tang San had finally bypassed the security measures of the Study Realm. As his Spiritual Power entered the Study Realm and he saw the splendor of this virtual world, he couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
The Study Realm, which had been operating for over a month now, had developed a certain level of order. Many Spirit Masters were engaging in various activities within the Study Realm. Some were discussing academic topics, some were sparring, some were simply meeting friends and family, and others were treating it as a vacation spot for relaxation and play.
He didn't stay in the Study Realm for long. After exiting, he prepared to share this good news with his teacher and companions.
However, just after exiting the Study Realm, Tang San sensed a sense of danger.
His pupils contracted as he looked towards the sky above the valley, where two figures were slowly descending.
Yu Xiaogang and the others had already gathered, their faces serious as they watched Su Wen and Fighting Heaven Douluo in the sky.
"Su Wen!"
How did he find this place?
Flender and the others were stunned, completely unexpected that Su Wen would show up at this time.
"I have no deep-seated enmity with any of you. Today, I am only targeting Tang San. I hope you won't seek your own deaths," Su Wen said as he landed, warning the others from Shrek.
"Bullshit, Xiaosan is our brother. You won't be able to kill Xiaosan in front of us unless you step over our corpses first."
Flender and Liu Erlong didn't engage in a verbal confrontation with Su Wen. They looked at Fighting Heaven Douluo behind Su Wen with grave expressions.
"May I ask which esteemed lord this is? This is a matter between Shrek and Su Wen. We hope that the esteemed lord will refrain from interfering."
Fighting Heaven Douluo gave Flender a dismissive glance, his expression one of disdain.
Just because you say not to interfere, does that mean I won't?
And do you really think you can fight Su Wen without my intervention?
"Fine, then I'll have to step over your corpses." Su Wen said lightly.
As his voice fell, the space began to ripple, and a silver-white blade appeared, slicing towards Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai's face changed drastically. He released his Martial Spirit, the Martial Spirit enveloping him, and his Third Spirit Ring flashed.
"Third Spirit Skill—"
Pfft.
The blade pierced through his chest and went through him.
"Just so, your elder brother and father asked me to send both of you back." Su Wen looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside Dai Mubai.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were already blank, helplessly holding Dai Mubai's fallen corpse.
In that brief moment when they couldn't react, a Spirit Ancestor was killed!
"I'm going to take action. You have no time to prepare. For the sake of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, get out quickly." Su Wen's gaze shifted back to Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.
He was naturally not considering the face of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
He just didn't want to provoke that crazy woman, Bibi Dong, for the time being. If Yu Xiaogang were really dead, Su Wen might be able to cover it up temporarily, but the Rakshasa God, who granted Bibi Dong the Divine Test, would surely know.
Or rather, he would definitely know.
If Bibi Dong's assessment turned into something like revenge, Su Wen would be in serious trouble.
"Tang San, you don't want so many people to be buried with you just because of yourself, do you?"
As Su Wen spoke, he had already begun to act.
Dozens of silver-white blades materialized out of thin air and quickly slashed towards Tang San.
"Who dares to touch my great-grandson!"
A loud roar came, and the space became turbulent. However, the dozens of spatial blades from Su Wen still continued to slash towards Tang San.
"Bold!"
The voice was both shocked and angry.
However, despite the continued assault, Tang San managed to react in the moment when the blades were affected by the spatial turbulence. He used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to avoid fatal injury.
The spatial blades pierced through various parts of his body but did not completely kill him.
In the air, a blood-red figure fell, spreading boundless blood energy and murderous intent.
