—------------------—
Seeing that the other party was trying to recruit him in public, Yu Mengdi immediately turned cold and asked, "Are you kidding me?"
Xu Tianxi shook his head and said calmly: "Of course not. I have already said that the Sun Moon Empire is willing to absorb the top talents from the three empires. You have great potential, and I am serious about what I said."
"You may have heard of my identity. I can tell you that as long as you show enough potential, I can provide you with the resources you need to cultivate to the level of a Titled Douluo or even a Super Douluo."
"I think my conditions should be generous enough. The academy, elders, and even the Heavenly Soul Empire behind you cannot make such a promise. On an occasion like today, I will not lie to you."
Although he didn't know whether the angel spirit in front of him could quickly level up by killing evil spirit masters, Xu Tianxi didn't mind giving it a try. If the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Church could be used, they would be almost inexhaustible.
Ye Guyi cannot digest so many experience packs by himself, but he can afford to raise one more.
Yu Mengdi's expression changed slightly, but was instantly replaced by coldness. He shouted, "Don't try to confuse the crowd with lies and disrupt my fighting spirit on this stage. Let me see how capable you are!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Mengdi's second soul ring lit up, and a pair of golden lightsabers instantly drew a complete cross in the air. The wings behind him spread out, emitting a strong golden halo.
Holy Cross Slash, an attack launched by Yu Mengdi combining the first and second soul rings, has a holy attack effect. It not only has strong attack power, but also has the continuous burning of holy flames, which is very restraining to evil soul masters.
I understand. We can't talk about it on the competition stage. We'll discuss the terms in private later. As for how capable I am, they want to see the ability of my future boss. This is a mutual assessment.
Xu Tianxi understood and decided to take it a little more seriously.
With his right hand raised at a forty-five degree angle, a green light surged under Xu Tianxi's feet, and a strong wind suddenly blew up on the competition stage.
Where the wind was rising and the clouds were rolling, a green light condensed in Xu Tianxi's palm, and large green wind blades appeared around the Holy Cross Slash, slashing down with a bang.
The elemental abilities of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger are centered around wind, thunder, and evil. As expected, after Xu Tianxi absorbed the power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he also gained the power of these three elements, and now he is displaying the powerful wind element.
The Moonlight has the power to transform into various elements. Xu Tianxi amplifies it with this. Every elemental power he controls will be amplified to the most powerful level.
The Holy Cross Slash contained two powerful attributes, sacredness and fire. Its level was far above the single wind element and it should have easily broken through the resistance of the wind blade. However, no one thought that Yu Mengdi's attack would be effective.
"Crack!"
Wind blades flew down from the sky, shattering the Holy Cross Slash, and then whistled out and fell towards Yu Mengdi.
Yu Mengdi swung out another Holy Cross Slash, shattering the surging strangling wind blades. Instead of retreating, he advanced and killed with two swords in hand.
"If you can take this move from me again, I will admit defeat."
Yu Mengdi said this coldly, then raised the sacred lightsaber above his head. The third soul ring on his body lit up, and golden flames rose rapidly.
Faintly, a six-winged angel's shadow appeared behind Yu Mengdi. As soon as the shadow appeared, her entire body was rendered golden; this was her third soul skill, Angel's Blessing, which could double the power of her next attack.
The next thing to light up was her ten thousand year fifth ring. The black soul ring, which rarely appeared except in the five ace academies, shone brightly. Yu Mengdi shouted out five scales, and every time a scale was shouted out, the sacred twin swords in her hands would make a crisp buzzing sound.
"Angel, Seal the Gods!"
As the last word "砍" came out, Yu Mengdi's two sacred swords merged into one. The sharp sword light turned into a huge light blade that was more than ten meters long and three meters wide, and slashed straight towards Xu Tianxi.
The power of this attack is comparable to that of some powerful Soul Emperors; there are only a handful of Soul Kings in this competition who can reach this level of attack power, and their cultivation is above this level.
"This is something interesting, the Moon Goddess's protection."
The moment before the light blade slashed down, the fourth soul ring on Xu Tianxi's body truly lit up, and the moonlight fell down, turning into a silver-white spherical light curtain.
"Boom——!"
The Angel's Deification Slash fell, and with a loud bang, a sky full of golden soul light was raised, blocking the view of the outside world. Yu Mengdi felt that his attack seemed to have fallen into the boundless ocean and did not hit any entity at all.
"Even a Soul Emperor wouldn't dare to withstand my full-strength attack. Did that guy use his soul guide?" Yu Mengdi thought.
At this moment, a stream of light rushed out in the golden soul light, and a punch shot out from the stream of light, heading straight for Yu Mengdi's face.
Yu Mengdi only had time to place the two sacred swords in front of her before she felt a huge force that numbed her hands, and then spread to her arms, shoulder blades, sternum, and even all her muscles, bones, blood, and flesh...
The intense pain caused her brain to temporarily lose the ability to process information. It was as if her mind was blasted with a loud noise, leaving only one thought: How could a soul master from the Sun Moon Empire be so strong? Was that punch something a soul emperor could do? "Bang~!"
Yu Mengdi didn't have time to think, because the power of Xu Tianxi's punch directly knocked her out of the ring and fell heavily to the ground.
The pain that felt like her whole body was falling apart brought her back to consciousness instantly. She looked at the man on the stage with a confused look on her face. He had a smile that was so refreshing but was so ruthless when he attacked.
Aren't you trying to recruit talents? Why are you so cruel? "Don't be so weird. You threw a sword and I punched you back. If I punch you again, I'm afraid your life will be in danger. I'm not one of those guys in Shrek who likes to kill people."
Xu Tianxi shook his wrist and chuckled, "I originally wanted to use a soul guide, but I think you might not accept it. Don't forget to consider my suggestion."
"Now, next one."
Clapping his hands, Xu Tianxi's gaze fell on the last two people of Zhengtian Academy, captain Ye Wuqing and assistant Shangguan Can.
Shangguan Canmian was unwilling to accept the result and was about to stand up and go on stage, but a strong hand held him down.
"Captain, you..." Shangguan Can looked at Ye Wuqing in surprise.
"Don't go up there and embarrass yourself. I'll go up there. It's bad luck for our Zhengtian Academy today."
Ye Wuqing used to have a dead expressionless face, but now he spoke with a sad and angry tone. He saw that Kong Tianxi was not here to compete, but to recruit people; maybe in his eyes, this sacred all-continent high-level soul master competition is his talent market!
Damn, is the guy from the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire so rich? He even dared to promise in public to provide resources for cultivation to the Super Douluo level. Even the Tianhun royal family may not be as generous as you! Xu Tianxi's actions not only stunned the people from Zhengtian College, but also many other colleges were stunned by him.
It turns out that you not only made harsh words before, but you also dared to speak up when you met talented people!
If he dared to offer resources to cultivate to Super Douluo when he met someone from Zhengtian Academy, would he dare to promise resources to cultivate to Ultimate Douluo when he met Shrek? The veins on Xu Jiawei's forehead were throbbing, and he felt that he was provoked: "Prime Minister... mark out all the geniuses who are expected to achieve the Title Realm in this competition. As long as there is hope of recruiting them, you can give it a try!"
"The little brats of the Sun and Moon royal family are too bullying. I must not fall behind them."
"As you wish."
…
On the competition stage, Ye Wuqing came on stage and spoke coldly.
"Zhengtian Academy, Ye Wuqing, fifty-eighth level offensive combat soul king."
Xu Tianxi nodded to the other party and said with a smile:
"I know you. You are level 58 at the age of 19, and you have the top plant-based martial spirit Golden Leaf. If you were 20 years old this year, you would definitely become a Soul Emperor."
"In my opinion, your talent is not much worse than the captains of Shrek Academy and the four major royal academies. If you are interested in developing in the Sun Moon Empire, you can come to me. We are always eager to recruit talents. My promise to you is the same as Yu Mengdi's."
Breaking through to Soul Emperor before the age of 20 means becoming a Super Douluo Seed. The training resources that Ye Wuqing can enjoy are not as good as those of Shrek Inner Court and the four royal academies, but he can still reach this point, which shows that he has a bright future.
In Xu Tianxi's conception, conquering the Three Kingdoms in the future cannot rely solely on military oppression, winning the hearts of the people is also necessary. If these top talents of the original Three Kingdoms are willing to be heroes who know the times, he will not hesitate to provide resources.
In a sense, his coming to the Xingluo City competition this time was really somewhat like purchasing talent from the talent market. These geniuses usually scattered all over the world, making it very difficult to find them; how could there be a better opportunity than now?
Kong Deming claimed that he was born into the Sun-Moon royal family, so he certainly couldn't let the old man down. The lack of Super Douluo was a long-term pain for the Sun-Moon Empire, and it would always be good to get more talents back.
As for the subsequent actions, they naturally require the cooperation of the Sun and Moon powerhouses. He had applied for support before coming, and the power of the Xuanming Sect could also be tried to be mobilized.
Ye Wuqing had to admit that the other party's kind attitude did not make him feel bad, and the conditions offered were also very good. If the other party was not from the Sun and Moon Empire, he would really consider whether this would be his only chance in his life.
But... you are from the Sun-Moon Empire, how can I agree to you in Xingluo City?
With a cold snort, the five rings under Ye Wuqing's feet rose together, and a long and narrow golden leaf appeared in the soul light, floating in front of him.
"I will quickly launch my most powerful offensive, so be prepared to decide the outcome with one move!"
As if to reduce the time of embarrassment, Ye Wuqing directly lit up the first and third soul rings. Golden leaves suddenly appeared between his ten fingers and were all thrown out in a flash of golden light.
"Leaf Blade, Leaf Array!"
Dozens of golden leaves instantly shot out from his hands, and then split in mid-air to form golden nets, which fell towards Xu Tianxi.
With the help of the detection glasses, Xu Tianxi's mental power detected that the surfaces of the golden leaves were extremely sharp, as if they had a special edge that could cut through soul power.
A green light flashed in Xu Tianxi's eyes, and the wind element condensed into hundreds of high-speed wind blades, which quickly rushed towards the golden leaf formation.
"Bang, bang, bang…"
It was as if a brilliant firework rose in the sky. The dark green wind blade collided with the golden leaf, and a sound of cutting was heard in the air.
Judging from the scene, the clash between the two men was evenly matched, but everyone knew that if Ye Wuqing could not use stronger means, he would definitely lose.
"Fourth soul skill, golden left hand."
After lighting up the fourth soul ring, the meridians in Ye Wuqing's left hand suddenly became larger, and a large number of leaf-vein-like blood vessels shone with dazzling golden light, and his palm turned completely golden.
This golden left hand is Ye Wuqing's strongest amplifying soul skill. While giving the left hand powerful strength and defense, the power of the golden leaves released by the left hand again will also be doubled.
This is not the end. The fifth ring on Ye Wuqing's body that has existed for ten thousand years soon began to shine brightly.
"Fifth soul skill, dance of golden leaves."
Ye Wuqing raised his golden left hand, with his palm facing the sky, as if he wanted to tear the sky into pieces; the fifth soul ring was shining with golden light, and dense golden light spots floated out, spreading around his body, forming a golden light curtain.
The next moment, the golden light spot quickly grew larger and turned into a number of slightly smaller but extremely terrifying golden leaves. They rotated rapidly with his body as the core, and then rose up, sweeping towards Xu Tianxi like a metal torrent.
"Come on, I haven't used this spirit skill for a long time. Let me try it on you."
Looking at the metal torrent coming from the sky, Xu Tianxi's First soul ring suddenly lit up.
At the same time, Xu Tianxi whispered in his heart: "First soul skill, Cold Moon Gaze."
With Xu Tianxi himself as the center, the light elements within dozens of meters around him were instantly swallowed up, and the night enveloped half of the space on the competition stage.
The next moment, a bright cold moon rose slowly into the sky, shining brightly. As the moonlight fell, a ray of moon-white silver light with a diameter of three meters burst out in the rotation and went straight towards the golden leaves torrent.
