Four days had pa.s.sed since Ye Wanxing and She Meixiao had decided on their course of action. The former had left for Shrek Academy the next and started talks with the Sea G.o.d Pavilion"s upper echelons, keeping contact with She Meixiao.
She Mexiao had resumed supervision of Huang Jialong"s, Yuanen Yehui"s and Sheng Feilong"s training together with Song Weihan. So far, she and Ye Wanxing haven"t told anyone about their plans other than their own upper echelons, including Song Weihan.
Sheng Feilong and the others still didn"t know what was going on and were focused on their training. In these four days Song Weihan had dedicated all of his attention to Sheng Feilong, training with him and helping him to familiarize himself with the Spirit Domain Realm of Spirit Power and how to properly use it.
Other than that, Sheng Feilong and the others would regularly spar against each other – sometimes two against one against Sheng Feilong. Huang Jialong"s and Yuanen Yehui"s combat standards had long since reached heights far beyond their peers, yet they still couldn"t defeat Sheng Feilong, even while working together; This was the disparity created by absolute strength.
Sheng Feilong"s strength was superior to Yuanen Yehui"s while she used her t.i.tan Giant Ape Spirit Essence, his combat techniques superior to Huang Jialong, despite the latter fully utilizing all abilities of his Seven-Headed Black Hydra Spirit Essence. There was no need to even mention his Spirit Power; Sheng Feilong surpa.s.sed both of them by far, to the point where he could fight them with his eyes closed, only using his Spirit Power to predict their every move.
For the first few matches, the two of them were unconvinced, even accusing him of cheating in frustration. There were no hard feelings between them, yet the disparity caused Huang Jialong and Yuanen Yehui to feel incredibly pressured.
The day before, Song Weihan invited them to join his and Sheng Feilong"s private training with Song Weihan giving them pointers on how to utilize their Spirit Power and how to train it more effectively. At the end of these sessions, Sheng Feilong and Song Weihan would spar against each other.
Just months ago, this match-up would have been impossible; With Song Weihan"s strength, the whole thing wouldn"t even be a sparring match – It would be a one sided beating with Sheng Feilong on the losing end. Yet, with Sheng Feilong having reached the Spirit Domain Realm and opening the third, he could evenly match Song Weihan for as long as he could keep his Spirit Essence and the third eye active at the same time.
Huang Jialong and Yuanen Yehui didn"t even dare to breath during their fight; With Song Weihan, a t.i.tled Douluo, fighting Sheng Feilong seriously, the two of them would be injured by just a single attack going astray, yet Sheng Feilong was keeping up with him and not loosing out in the slightest.
Two two of them didn"t even know that what they saw was just a small part of the actual battle; Song Wiehan and Sheng Feilong were both Soul Masters that focused on their Spirit Power, after all; Their main battlefield was the mental plane.
After their match, Song Weihan smiled lightly, satisfied with being able to spar as excessively like that with someone who"s Spirit Power could match his own, yet didn"t outcla.s.s him by a large margin in physical strength. Meanwhile, Sheng Feilong toppled over as soon as the match ended; Utterly exhausted and unable to even stand straight.
Remembering what they saw the day before, Yuanen Yehui and Huang Jialong were even more eager to improve during the next days training, something that She Meixiao and Song Weihan heavily favoured. Yet, they had to cut the training short after She Meixiao got a message from a subordinate.
She and Song Weihan vanished for some time, telling Sheng Feilong and the others to do as they pleased. The three of them didn"t mind the sudden change and continued to train alone, though were curious what lead to She Meixiao and Song Weihan leaving in a hurry like that.
Still, they wouldn"t receive an answer until the next day, when She Meixiao asked them to come to her office. Song Weihan was there with her and the expressions of both of them were grave. Sheng Feilong and the other two frowned, feeling that something was wrong. "Master, what"s wrong? Did something happen?"
Song Weihan and She Meixiao glanced at each other before the former nodded, causing She Meixiao to look back at Sheng Feilong. "Shrek Academy has been attacked by evil Soul Master yesterday."
This shocked Sheng Feilong and Yuanen Yehui especially, while Huang Jialong was more composed, though the anger in his eyes couldn"t be hidden. "Evil Soul Masters? They dare attack powers like Shrek Academy by now? What happened?"
"They got annihilated, right? With the Sea G.o.d Pavilion"s strength, especially Senior Yun Ming, there shouldn"t have happened anything. Though I"m shocked to hear they got so brazen in their actions." Yuanen Yehui calmed down quickly, speaking up after hearing what Huang Jialong said.
Song Weihan hesitated a moment to answer, glancing at Sheng Feilong and Yuanen Yehui befre opening his mouth with a solemn voice. "...Shrek Academy was... destroyed." A heavy silence engulfed the room, with Sheng Feilong and the others staring at Song Weihan in disbelief. "Destroyed? Did the people in the Outer Court get hurt?"
"That"s not what I meant; It wasn"t just the Outer Court that"s been destroyed. The whole academy, including the Inner Court, Sea G.o.d Lake and Pavilion and... all of the students and teacher, as well as Shrek City, have been annihilated as a whole, leaving only a gigantic crater behind." Song Weihan spoke, his tone grave, continuously eyeing Sheng Feilong and Yuanen Yehui.
Before they could respond, She Meixiao spoke up as well, hitting them with another few harsh truths. "Thus far, we haven"t confirmed a single survivor. Moreover, other than Shrek Academy, there were simultaneous attacks on the Tang Sect headquarters in Heaven Dou City, the Blacksmith a.s.sociation"s headquarters where Divine Blacksmith Zhen Hua was residing and the Federal Government"s Congress building."
"We haven"t yet confirmed the severity of the attacks on the Congress building and the Blacksmith a.s.sociation, but Shrek Academy and the tang Sect headquarters have been completely destroyed with no survivors." She said while putting her arms on the desk, her eyes cold and voice shaking with anger.
Another long silence ensued; Huang Jialong was staring at She Meixiao and Song Weihan in disbelief, while Yuanen Yehui was shaking with a pale face, having trouble to stay on her feet. Sheng Feilong"s expression was completely cold with not single trace of emotion in sight. "How? They defeated some of the strongest people in the world, razed the most powerful inst.i.tutions to the ground within a single day and left no survivors? How?!"
No one answered him for a moment before the door behind them opened, with an anger filled, old voice inside the room. "With Fixed Soul Ammunition. And now just any, but two of the three G.o.d Slayers", Rank-12 Fixed Soul Ammunition that should have been safeguarded by the Federal Government."
"Ye Wanxing! You"re back?" She Meixiao"s eyes widened slightly, surprised to see Ye Wanxing return with no one informing her of his arrival. The latter only nodded, understanding her surprise. "I just returned minutes ago. I didn"t inform anyone and came her directly."
"What happened?" She Meixiao didn"t question his methods, but instead cut right to the chase; Ye Wanxing, who was supposed to be at Shrek Academy and had most likely seen the whole thing with his own eyes, stood in front of her, after all.
The latter closed the door behind himself, walking past Sheng Feilong and the others to stand next to She Meixiao and Song Weihan before speaking up. "They attacked early in the morning, when I was still at my hotel at the edge of Shrek City, far enough away from the academy. Everything happened within a short few minutes; Hundreds of Fixed Soul Ammunitions of Rank-7 and above burned the whole sky - Yun Ming sacrificed his own G.o.dhood tablet, as well as his life to stop the G.o.dslayer Armageddon, yet his efforts were fruitless; The G.o.d Slayers are not something a mortal can stop, no matter their strength..."
"G.o.dslayer Armageddon... They got their hands on the most powerful of the G.o.dslayers?" She Meixiao spoke, her brows furrowing. Ye Wanxing nodded his head. "From what I know, the one used at the Tang Sect should"ve been the G.o.dslayer Devours the World; They used two of the three in the same city to make sure Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect perish."
He frowned as well, his hands clenched into fists. "Yun Ming managed to injure the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, but he couldn"t resist the G.o.dslaying powers and perished along with Shrek Academy."
"I killed the fleeing members of the Holy Spirit Cult when they retreated after they used the G.o.dslayer Armageddon; All of them were t.i.tled Douluos, riding a giant, purple skull."
She Meixiao was about to answer when her personal Soul Communicator suddenly rung. She looked at it quickly; There weren"t many people who had her personal number – Only the likes of Sheng Feilong, Ye Wanxing and Song Weihan knew her personal number. "...Mu Ye?"
