Chapter 45: Eight Thunder Flying
The surrounding area of ​​100 meters was destroyed by the Thunder War Bear, and this was only the outermost part of the mixed zone, so other soul beasts didn't dare to get close.

Li Xingyi sat down cross-legged, mobilized a trace of soul power to guide the soul ring, and began to absorb it.

As the Thunder War Bear soul ring gradually merged with Li Xingyi.

He entered the spiritual sea, but this spiritual sea was different from the ordinary spiritual sea. It was a special isolated place that people could only enter when absorbing soul rings. This was why Tianmeng and Bingdi could not be seen here.

Because of the fight with the Mandragora Snake before his death, the Thunder War Bear had a deep resentment and thus formed a soul similar to a 'demon in the heart'.

Li Xingyi needs to kill the Thunder War Bear again here before he can successfully absorb the fourth soul ring.

The soul has no consciousness and can only attack instinctively, so in theory its combat power is only 70% of that when it is alive.

When Li Xingyi dealt with the Mandrake Snake before, he consumed almost no energy and retained at least 80% of his strength, so he had no problem dealing with the Soul Body Thunder War Bear.

After more than ten minutes of tug-of-war.

Li Xing activated [Nothingness] and killed the soul with one blow.

Then his consciousness returned to his body and he officially began to incorporate the soul ring into his body.

……

After an hour or two.

The soul ring on the body of the Thunder War Bear completely dissipated, and its power was completely integrated with Li Xingyi.

hum-

With a tremor in his dantian, Li Xingyi opened his eyes and stood up after two seconds.

Because of his state of mind, Li Xingyi had already accumulated some soul power in his body, plus the energy provided by the Wild Thunder War Bear Soul Ring.

Li Xingyi's soul power directly increased to level 42.

"As expected of a Wild Thunder Bear, it actually made my lightning attribute evolve, increasing its power by nearly 30%!"

After sighing, Li Xingyi caught a ten thousand year old soul beast nearby and tested its fourth soul skill.

His fourth soul skill is called 'Eight Thunder Flying'.

After releasing the fourth soul skill, there will be several clones formed by thunder and lightning, holding [Thunder.No], and slashing the opponent from different directions at the same time. While causing lightning strikes, [Thunder.No] can cut the opponent's flesh.

The power of this soul skill was extremely exaggerated. After the ten thousand year old soul beast had withstood this soul skill, it fell into a state close to death.

What’s even more exaggerated is that the soul power consumed by this soul skill is not that much.

Judging from Li Xingyi's current cultivation level, it would be no problem for him to release it seven or eight times in succession!

"It's done!"

Li Xing looked up at the sky. The morning fog had mostly dissipated and the dazzling sunlight was already coming out.

"The little deer should be almost awake. It's time to go back."

Bending over and cutting off a few pieces of edible meat from the body of the Thunder War Bear, Li Xingyi began his return journey.

……

Not long after, Li Xingyi arrived at the camping site where he had pitched his tent last night.

Lin Luyu has woken up and is now circling around the area, probably looking for the missing Li Xingyi.

Seeing this, Li Xingyi hurriedly accelerated and arrived in front of Lin Luyu in three or two steps.

"Hey! Little Deer, are you looking for me?"

Li Xing appeared in front of Lin Luyu with a slightly aggressive smile.

"what--"

Lin Luyu was startled, but when he saw that the person in front of him was Li Xingyi, he came to his senses and then became angry.

She suddenly exerted force and pushed Li Xingyi away.

"Where have you been? Do you know that I have been looking for you all morning, but I still can't find you. I was so worried..."

Li Xing's face changed. He knew that Lin Lu would talk nonstop once he started preaching, so he quickly said, "Stop!" Then he told him everything that happened in the morning.

At the same time, they lit a fire and started to roast the soul beast meat.

After having a full meal but still a few drinks, the two of them continued on their way, chatting and laughing, heading straight for Xingluo City!
……

The capital of the Xingluo Empire - Xingluo City - Xinghuang Hotel.

Li Xingyi and Lin Luyu successfully arrived here the day before the Fighting Spirit Competition began, and completed the registration under the guidance of the event staff.

Only then did they go to the arranged residence.

Shrek Academy is the most prestigious academy in the entire continent, so naturally it receives the highest level of treatment.

Their residence is on the top floor of the Star King Hotel.

In the past, the Star Emperor Hotel was only open to royal family members and top aristocrats, and the top floor was only open to the emperor and his direct descendants. One can imagine what kind of treatment and respect Shrek Academy has here.

Li Xingyi and Lin Lu came to the hall on the top floor. At this moment, everyone in the outer courtyard except Beibei was here.

Everyone seemed happy and relaxed.

But their acting skills were so bad that even Lin Luyu could see it.

"What...what's wrong? Everyone...everyone looks weird!"

Xu Sanshi waved his hand and pretended to be nonchalant: "It's nothing, it's just the first time we've experienced such a large-scale competition, so we're a little nervous."

The others also agreed.

"Yeah, it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous during a game like this."

"Yeah, if you don't believe me, look, my whole body is shaking now~"

"..."

Lin Lu was half-believing and half-doubting, but he always felt that something was wrong. Everyone was indeed nervous, but not much, and it contained more other emotions.

Li Xingyi knew everything, so he didn't say much. He just quietly pulled Lin Lu to a corner and sat down, quietly eating the snacks on the table.

squeak--

The creaking sound of the large wooden door was heard as it was pushed open.

Beibei walked into the room with a sad face.

"Everyone, come with me. Teacher Wang Yan asked us to go to the conference room now. I heard that the competition system has changed this year. There will be a competition after the opening ceremony tomorrow. The seniors can't go on stage, and reinforcements can't come. Only the seven of us can go on stage."

Then, the disguises of the four people disappeared in an instant, and their faces became gloomy, as if there was no hope in life.

“Waaaaaah~ No, this is such a heavy topic!”

"I can't escape the meeting after all? I don't want to face it!"

"Let's go. What's coming will come. It's not a good idea to keep avoiding reality."

Then, several people walked out the door sighing.

Huo Yuhao said from the back of the team: “It seems like everyone’s relaxed attitude is just an act.”

Bei Bei patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, little brother, let's go too. Teacher Wang Yan is already waiting for us over there."

The back of the line.

Lin Luyu was stunned when he saw this inexplicable scene.

She poked Li Xingyi's waist and asked, "Xingyi, do you know what happened to them? I felt something was wrong with them from the beginning!"

Li Xingyi spread his hands.

"How should I know? We didn't go with them when we went to hunt for spirit rings. How could I know if you don't know..."
