Chapter 69 Classmates "Reminiscing"
After not seeing each other for a few years, Ji Tongxuan's appearance has changed a lot.
His body had become extremely thin, and there was not much flesh on his hands that were exposed under the cloak. Only shriveled skin was left wrapping around his finger bones. His cheeks were deeply sunken, with only a pair of eyes standing out.
However, he could still roughly see his childhood appearance from his face. Coupled with the familiar blood-red wings behind him and the familiar soul power fluctuations on his body, Wang Nan still recognized him as Ji Tongxuan whom he met in the freshman assessment finals a few years ago.
However, the biggest change that happened to him was not his appearance, but his spirit ring.
Purple, purple, purple, black, black, black.
The fact that Ji Tongxuan was able to enter Shrek Academy shows that his talent is not bad. After all the unremitting "cultivation" of the Holy Spirit Church over the years, his cultivation level is now higher than Wang Nan, and he is already a six-ring Soul Emperor.
There were even three black soul rings that symbolized ten thousand years. And the two yellow soul rings had turned purple by some unknown means.
Beside Ji Tongxuan, the other two people also had a pair of black wings behind them, which looked like some kind of crow-like martial spirit.
Although they also had the cultivation of five-ring soul kings, their soul rings looked much more normal, and Wang Nan did not detect the aura of evil soul masters in their martial spirits. It seemed that not all people in the Holy Spirit Church had evil martial spirits.
Or perhaps these two people are not disciples of the Holy Spirit Church, but just "assistants" prepared for Ji Tongxuan's Crying Blood Martial Soul.
Wang Nan was wearing a mask on his face, and his martial soul had also undergone some changes. Ji Tongxuan did not recognize him at first. He just glanced at the two corpses on the ground, and then looked up at Wang Nan.
Due to poor visibility at night, Ji Tongxuan did not see how Wang Nan defeated the two Soul Kings. The only thing he saw was Wang Nan breaking the soul guide shield with a stick and beheading the evil soul master.
Being able to deal with an opponent of similar strength to himself so easily and neatly, Ji Tongxuan couldn't help but take it seriously and began to secretly estimate Wang Nan's strength.
Wang Nan recognized Ji Tongxuan, but he had no intention of catching up with his old classmate. He never said much nonsense when fighting, and since he had already determined that the other party was an enemy, he would strike first.
Facing one against three, Wang Nan was not afraid at all. He danced the Panlong Stick in his hand, and the blue light of the soul guide thruster behind him lit up, driving his body forward.
The two Soul Kings beside Ji Tongxuan attacked together, one on the left and one on the right, towards Wang Nan.
Wang Nan crossed his hands and simply swung the Panlong Stick left and right to deflect the attacks of the two men.
Ji Tongxuan reacted quickly, and Wang Nan's pause gave him the opportunity to take action.
The first soul ring lit up, and a strange purple light appeared on his body, flowing along his arm to his fingertips.
Ji Tongxuan stretched out his right hand, his skinny palm was like a real bird claw, and his nails were covered with purple light. Just one glance at it gave Wang Nan an uncomfortable feeling.
I don’t know what Ji Tongxuan experienced in the Holy Spirit Church. His soul skills were not like this before.
Wang Nan didn't dare to let Ji Tongxuan get close to him. He held one end of the Panlong Stick with both hands and pushed Ji Tongxuan out.
Ji Tongxuan grabbed again with his left hand, and his five fingers touched the Panlong Stick. The strange purple color then flowed along his fingers and invaded the Panlong Stick.
However, his attack did not work. The giant dragon on the Panlong stick swam slowly, and the purple light was dissipated.
This series of changes actually happened in a flash. Gong Yangmo only saw Wang Nan rush over as soon as the three people landed, and in the blink of an eye he had already started fighting with the three people.
Seeing that Wang Nan was outnumbered, Gong Yang Mo finally released his martial spirit, and gorgeous colorful wings with five soul rings appeared in front of everyone.
"It's you!"
Seeing Gong Yang Mo's martial spirit, Ji Tongxuan immediately took two steps back and squeezed out an unpleasant sound from his throat. The voice was low and hoarse, and it didn't sound like it came from the mouth of a teenager at all.
A memory emerged from Ji Tongxuan's mind, making his eyes red. Looking at Wang Nan again, he finally saw a hint of familiarity from the Panlong Stick. "It's you!"
Ji Tongxuan recalled everything that happened during the freshman assessment, and an uncontrollable resentment arose in his heart.
"It's just right. I'll let you see my strength after I become a spirit."
"Ascend to the spirit?"
Wang Nan caught the two words from Ji Tongxuan's mouth. Some fragments of his past life memories were also triggered by these two words.
The Holy Spirit Church will hold a spiritual ascension ceremony for disciples who have reached level 60, so that they can be transformed from holy servants to formal holy spirit disciples. Although the specific content is unknown, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the strength of the disciples of the Holy Spirit Church.
Could it be that the strange soul ring configuration on Ji Tongxuan is the result of spiritual ascension?
"Uh-"
Ji Tongxuan suddenly growled in pain, his fifth soul ring suddenly shone brightly, the bones in his body kept crackling, his sternum suddenly rose high, a dark red light condensed in his chest, and then, the red light spread to his whole body like blood.
No one would wait for the opponent to complete the transformation before attacking.
"soul!"
Wang Nan shouted, and then the fifth soul ring also lit up.
Gong Yangmo understood what he meant and released his second soul skill, and an orange halo fell on Wang Nan.
Like the Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the more soul rings a soul master has, the higher the increase it can provide.
At this time, Gong Yang Mo already had the fifth soul ring, which could increase Wang Nan's soul power by more than 50%.
The golden dragon appeared again and collided with Ji Tongxuan who was wrapped in blood red on the other side.
The next moment, the red light on Ji Tongxuan's body melted away quickly like snow encountering sunlight.
Wang Nan used the same trick again, and the Panlong Stick "pointed" forward, landing on Ji Tongxuan's chest in front of Ji Tongxuan's astonished eyes.
Ji Tongxuan's chest deflated rapidly, his ribs broke one after another, and blood kept flowing out of his mouth, but that was it.
Wang Nan felt something was wrong the moment the Panlong Stick fell.
He couldn't judge Ji Tongxuan's soul power level accurately, so he was not sure whether he could successfully seal Ji Tongxuan's martial soul with the assistance of Gong Yang Mo, so he did not hold back at all in the next blow, which was his self-created "point" style.
However, just after Wang Nan successfully sealed Ji Tongxuan's martial soul, the stick was still blocked.
After Wang Nan's attack, the other two Soul Kings quickly entangled him. He could only retract his stick and retreat. He swung the Panlong Stick left and right to repel the two again.
Looking at Ji Tongxuan again, his chest was completely shattered, and Wang Nan could even see a broken rib inserted into his heart.
But he did not fall down. There was something on his chest that was flashing a blood-red light. The light flickered and pumped blood to his whole body instead of his heart.
