Everyone within the Battle God Arena shuddered as their minds received a massive shock from the clash taking place in the distance.

Outside the Battle God Arena, A'Ruheng and the others were all watching the clash through the big screen.

Even though Tang Wulin and Guan Yue's battle appeared to be very simple and straightforward, all of the people present were at or close to the Titled Douluo level, so they could naturally see that the clash was nowhere near as simple as it looked.

A serious look had already appeared on A'Ruheng's face. In his eyes, Tang Wulin was already powerful enough to be able to challenge the vast majority of Limit Douluos, but Guan Yue was far more formidable than he had anticipated.

In the face of such a fearsome opponent, Tang Wulin was unable to gain any advantage.

Right as the clash between their two spears took place, the entire screen turned to static, and it was impossible to see what was happening anymore.

"Is that an energy tide?

" Ao Rui exclaimed in a stunned manner. It would take an extremely strong disturbance to create such a situation, one that would affect the entire small world!

What seemed like an eternity passed by, and as Tang Wulin returned to his senses, his entire body felt sore and raw, as if he had been hit by a train.

Many cracks had appeared between his golden scales, and his blood essence was churning within his chest.

Guan Yue was hovering in mid-air in the distance, and he had already donned a suit of white battle armor.

The wings of the battle armor were spread open, and it wasn't particularly lavish in any way. In fact, there wasn't even a halo beneath it, but it seemed to resonate with heaven and earth, naturally affecting this entire small world.

Return to simplicity!

What a powerful suit of four-word battle armor!

Tang Wulin tightened his grip around his Golden Dragon Spear, and he was surprised to discover that there was a different feeling between him and his spear.

It was as if he could feel the emotions of the spear, and in that instant, the Golden Dragon Spear was transmitting to him emotions of scorching excitement and unyielding pride, as well as the will and intent to pierce through all things.

It was as if the spear had become a part of Tang Wulin's body, and it was also from that moment that it completely acknowledged its wielder.

Guan Yue gave Tang Wulin a slight nod.

"The fact that you've forced me to release my four-word battle armor to withstand that attack indicates that you've already attained spear essence.

"

Tang Wulin faltered slightly upon hearing this, and he instantly realized what had happened as he extended a respectful bow toward Guan Yue.

"Thank you, Senior.

"

At this point, it was clear to him that Guan Yue had been stimulating his latent potential throughout this entire battle, guiding him toward the attainment of spear essence.

After reaching this level, Tang Wulin felt as if a brand new world had been opened up to him, and this was an extremely alluring world. Everything seemed to have become different, and he could sense that his own learning ability had reached another level.

As a result, he gained a new understanding of Fury of the Masses, Unpredictable Storm, and Millennium White Clouds. In addition to that, his feelings toward all of the other deep-rooted memories in his mind had also changed.

He finally understood that the attainment of spear essence was a process to pursue a hint of godly power. Even though it was only a minute trace, gods and humans were fundamentally different, and a whole new world had appeared before him. Only in this instant had he truly reached the same level as Limit Douluos.

Even without Guan Yue's guidance, Tang Wulin would've most likely reached this level eventually, but it was anyone's guess as to how long that would've taken.

Guan Yue smiled, and said,

"You should thank yourself. I only wanted to plant a seed inside you, but I didn't think you'd make a breakthrough right away. Looks like Old Man Cao and Zang Xin made a fantastic choice! I'm now fully convinced that you're a worthy successor to my senior disciple brother. Make sure to remain humble and conscientious, and don't place yourself in harm's way unless it's absolutely necessary. You must survive and flourish for the glory of Shrek Academy.

"

Tang Wulin nodded in response with a determined expression.

Right at this moment, Sima Jinchi flew over from the distance.

He had arrived on the scene as quickly as he could, fearing for Tang Wulin's safety, yet right as he was about to arrive, he was struck head-on by a burst of enormous power, flinging him straight onto the ground. Even though he wasn't injured, he was almost knocked unconscious, and it took him a while to recover before getting to Tang Wulin.

"Are you alright, Young Master?

" Sima Jinchi asked in an urgent manner.

Tang Wulin shook his head before turning back to Guan Yue.

"Senior, should we continue this battle?

"

Guan Yue smiled, and replied,

"Let them continue. If your friends can win, then this will be a tie. This friend of yours can also go join them; it'll be a stern test of their skills in a three-on-four battle.

"

Tang Wulin immediately turned to Sima Jinchi, and said,

"Get back to the starting point right away to fight the Battle Gods with Yuanen and the others.

"

Sima Jinchi faltered slightly upon hearing this, clearly befuddled by this situation.

Tang Wulin urged,

"Hurry! I'll be fine on my own here.

"

"Alright,

" Sima Jinchi replied as he rushed toward the starting point as quickly as he could.

Tang Wulin had asked Guan Yue this question as he knew that there was no way he could defeat Guan Yue in a pure clash of power. Guan Yue was already standing at the very pinnacle of the Soul Master world, and if he were to fight with his full power in his suit of four-word battle armor, he would most likely be able to win this battle on his own.

As such, he had asked Guan Yue whether there was a need for this battle to continue, and through his reply, it was clear that Guan Yue wanted this to be an opportunity for Tang Wulin's friends to test themselves.

At their level, it was not easy to find sufficiently powerful opponents that held genuine animosity toward them, and only in such battles could their true latent potential come to the fore.

Of course, the same was true for all of the Battle Gods as well.

"Senior, I've just made sense of some things; can we continue?

" Tang Wulin asked in a respectful manner.

A hint of surprise appeared in Guan Yue's eyes upon hearing this.

"Young people sure recover quickly! If you're ready to continue, then I'm happy to continue as well. However, we're going to have to tone it down a little; I don't want this small world to be completely destroyed.

"

Tang Wulin nodded in a slightly sheepish manner. He could already sense that Guan Yue had released his four-word battle armor to withstand his Dragon Emperor Pierce and also to protect the entire Battle God Arena from the shockwaves of their clash.

A faint smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face as he raised his Golden Dragon Spear, and in that instant, an unrivaled aura of insanity erupted out of his body.

At the same time, the image of a red-haired man with 12 bright red wings appeared in his mind.

"My life is battle! My life is insanity!

"

In that instant, a burst of enormous blood essence fluctuations erupted out of his Tang Wulin's body, and even his Golden Dragon Spear was influenced as it took on a crimson sheen.
