Chapter 1607: The Sun Wood Saber

It was because the academy discovered that there was a huge problem with him. It was his bloodthirstiness.

When Yun Tianheng was young, his family met with misfortune which resulted in his change of temperament. He was an extremely introverted person, so on most days, he barely spoke. He did not have many friends, but he did not appear to be unusual when he was accepted into the academy. From the outside, he seemed to be a young man focusing all of his time and energy on cultivation.

Eventually, he exposed his true nature in a sudden accident and was expelled by the academy.

Yun Tianheng’s cultivation base was already very high when he left Shrek Academy. However, Shrek confiscated his battle armor, so he ended up being just an ordinary soul master. Moreover, he also had to bear the dishonor of being expelled, so he was not welcome anywhere.

He then plunged himself into the Spirit Pagoda. His fame was spread by word of mouth all over the continent.

He was the man that massacred all the creatures in the entire elementary spirit ascension platform.

According to the rules of elementary spirit ascension platform, a person’s time there was supposed to be restricted, but the time limit was removed for him for some unknown reason. Afterward, it was said that he had spent a large amount of money bribing the Spirit Pagoda’s staff in order to do so.

He spent a total of a year’s time in the elementary spirit ascension platform. During that period, he killed the vast majority of soul beasts in the elementary spirit ascension platform such that his spirit soul’s cultivation could be elevated continuously. He also hunted the soul masters that entered the elementary spirit ascension platform. After breaking free from the platform, a few of the soul masters were suffering from mental problems as Yun Tianheng had tortured and killed them.

Someone once claimed that Yun Tianheng’s doings in the elementary spirit ascension platform could very possibly have been at the suggestion of the Spirit Pagoda in order to reduce their expenditure in the spirit ascension platform. However, the Spirit Pagoda stated explicitly that the whole thing was just a mistake and that they had terminated all of the staff involved after the incident had come to light.

After that, Yun Tianheng participated in a few operations aimed at hunting sea soul beasts. He slaughtered his way through the sea with nothing but his pair of axes and turned the sea red.

As for the people he had killed and how many were there, there was no record of that. He was considered the Spirit Pagoda’s lethal weapon. His role in the Spirit Pagoda was the executioner. As for what type of execution he was involved in, only the Spirit Pagoda knew.

Given that the Spirit Pagoda sent out a famous killer in the first battle of the day, it was apparent that they were planning to display their prowess in front of Shrek Academy.

Both participants soared skyward, over three hundred meters above the ground. The Bloodthirsty Douluo Yun Tianheng took the lead to launch an attack. He swung his right arm and the blood-red battle axes came flying out from his hands. The axes had a heavy aura, thick as blood, and flew straight at Lan Muzi.

A stretch of crimson mist appeared abruptly, blanketing the entire sky. It took on the vague appearance of a ferociously savage face. Its mouth widened as if it was going to swallow someone whole.

Lan Muzi only summoned his martial soul at this moment. It was a saber. It was three feet in length, but there was nothing particularly special about it. It looked like it was made from an ordinary piece of wood.

He unleashed nine black soul rings. As soon as his wooden saber appeared, Lan Muzi’s eyes seemed to be glowing, and a stretch of pale gold-red radiance appeared around him.

The gold-red glow enshrouded him like a wheel of light. Lan Muzi waved his right hand and activated the first soul ring. At once, the gold-red radiance turned scorching hot. It had transformed into three golden balls, blazing like the sun.

“Clang, clang, clang!” There were three loud clangs as the Bloodthirsty Battle Axes were repelled. More importantly, the blood-red mist, which had been filled with heinous ferocity, had largely been dispersed.

On the ground level, everyone had raised their heads to watch the battle in the sky.

Lan Muzi was a man with a very low profile in Shrek Academy. Many members of Shrek Academy had never seen him unleash his martial soul and had barely even seen him fight against anyone.

It was Lan Muzi himself requested that he take pat in the first battle of the day. He was the senior disciple of the inner court in the past after all. Judging by seniority, he was one generation senior to Tang Wulin, so naturally, Tang Wulin agreed.

The crowd was paying attention to Lan Muzi’s abilities. they felt more confident immediately upon seeing that Lan Muzi was capable of stopping the Bloodthirsty Douluo’s attack just by gently using his saber.

Moreover, it seemed like Lan Muzi’s martial soul had a certain suppressive effect on the Bloodthirsty Douluo.

Yali said to Tang Wulin with a smile, “Don’t worry. Lan Muzi is more powerful than you imagine. Before your appearance, Brother Ming once said that the best person to inherit his position in the future was Lan Muzi.”

Tang Wulin looked at Yali in astonishment. “So, I’ve…”

Yali shook her head. “There’s no need for you to worry about that. The young man has the most gentle temperament of any person I’ve ever met in my life. This is related to his martial soul too. He has always been a man in harmony with the rest of the world. As a result, he has a good relationship with everyone. Think about this: it’s not easy for almost every person in the academy to be fond of him, even the teachers. The boy is good-natured, but he is extremely tenacious as well. You should know that he went to the Demon Island years ago, and reputedly, the seven old demons there said he was the most difficult student they ever since the place existed. It is because there was absolutely nothing they could do to affect his calm demeanour. Of course, he didn’t attend the special training with Tang Yinmeng at the time.”

Tang Wulin asked out of curiosity, “So, what is Senior Disciple Brother Lan’s martial soul then?”

Yali answered, “His martial soul is the Sun Wood Saber. It is an extremely special tool soul. Moreover, it is unique.”

The term “unique” referred to the martial souls that were one of a kind throughout the history of the soul masters. Such a martial soul was very rare, as even Tang Wulin’s Bluesilver Emperor martial soul was not the only one of its kind to ever exist.

Generally, unique martial souls were extremely powerful. As expected, it was Tang Wulin’s first time hearing about the Sun Wood Saber.

Yali continued to speak, “Years ago, Brother Ming advised him not to simply unleash his martial soul unless it was necessary due to his martial soul’s uniqueness. He thought of it as keeping one of the academy’s inner secrets reserved.”

Tang Wulin nodded gently. It was only then that he learned that this senior disciple brother’s abilities were so powerful. Moreover, he suddenly came to a realization at this moment.

Teacher Wu usually respectfully addressed Lan Muzi as ‘senior disciple brother’ upon meeting him. Given Teacher Wu’s arrogance, he would never address Lan Muzi with such heartfelt admiration if Lan Muzi’s cultivation base was not equal to his own. It seemed like this senior disciple brother’s abilities could even surpass Teacher Wu, right?

It felt like an epiphany for Tang Wulin. After reflecting upon this matter, he realized that his senior disciple brother was truly extraordinary! He was said to be capable of becoming the Atlas Douluo’s successor, so he was equipped with the inner secrets of a Limit Douluo at the very least.

What a good lad. Tang Wulin was pleasantly surprised when he learned about this.

In the sky, Yun Tianheng raised his hands and caught his Bloodthirsty Battle Axes. He appeared to be slightly stunned. His first attack was meant to sound out the opponent, of course. However, his Bloodthirsty Battle Axes were savage and overwhelmed with their forceful outburst. Even if he was only launching an exploratory attack, it would still be quite tiring for an opponent of his rank to withstand it. Nevertheless, this opponent only needed his first soul skill to casually neutralize his attack. He was even more astounded to see that the Bloodthirsty Battle Mist that was attached to his martial soul would disperse when the opponent’s martial soul was unleashed.

The Bloodthirsty Battle Mist was his second soul skill that would be naturally unleashed during a battle. It was an extremely rare passive soul skill. In other words, there was no need for him to unleash the soul skill by himself as it would unleash itself spontaneously during the process of a battle.

Despite not being a direct attack soul skill, the Bloodthirsty Battle Mist was capable of exercising a constant effect over the opponent silently on the battlefield. It would result in fear, panic and other negative emotions for the opponent while also enhancing the power of the Bloodthirsty Battle Axes.

Therefore, the Bloodthirsty Douluo Yun Tianheng would generally become more powerful the longer he was engaged in a battle. As long as his soul power was not completely exhausted, his abilities would be elevated constantly.
