166: Why don't you help me?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the five-attribute high-grade Earth-tier Fusion Spirit Skill was born, the giant stone pillar collapsed with a roar.

Lu Yuan could hardly hide his excitement.

It didn't even require six attributes; the stone pillar, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a Domain Realm powerhouse, couldn't even hold up against this!

"Holy crap!"

"Damn, it actually blew it up!"

"This is the most powerful Spirit Skill I've ever seen. It's no different from a Forbidden Curse!"

Exclamations rose and fell. The students and instructors were stunned on the spot as they looked at the shattered stone pillar.

"A Forbidden Curse, it has already reached the power of a Forbidden Curse!" Tang Jinghui's voice trembled as he gripped the pen and notebook in his hand.

This was the first five-attribute Spirit Skill fusion test on Blue Star, proving that his hypothesis was correct.

The power of a fused Spirit Skill is no weaker than a Forbidden Curse; in some aspects, it's even stronger!

"No need to test the six-attribute one; let's wait for actual combat," Tang Jinghui said.

The main reason was that the stone pillar couldn't withstand the power of the Spirit Skill. Each stone pillar was precious, so it was better not to destroy them.

"Understood, Teacher. I have another idea."

Lu Yuan's inspiration struck again.

"Tell me."

"If attribute counters prevent Spirit Skill fusion, what if we cast five-element attribute Spirit Skills simultaneously?" Lu Yuan asked.

Hiss—

Tang Jinghui gasped.

"I'm not sure if that's dangerous. If you want to experiment, you'll need to find a support-class powerhouse to guard you," Tang Jinghui said truthfully.

He was knowledgeable, but Lu Yuan's question was truly obscure and explosive.

"We'll talk about it when there's a chance," Lu Yuan agreed, silently noting down this bold idea.

"Master, can I come out?"

Blood Butcher's voice echoed in Lu Yuan's ears.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuan asked, giving permission for Blood Butcher to leave his body.

Clatter—

The ugly-looking Blood Butcher, clad in blood-red armor, stood beside Chu Wushe.

"Yo, yo, yo! To think a top-grade spirit artifact would willingly submit and pledge allegiance to a little brat!" Blood Butcher said mockingly.

Chu Wushe?

Lu Yuan looked at the thin Chu Wushe, who was wearing a black and gold school uniform.

He had already broken through to the three-star Law Realm.

A blue and red scythe appeared in Chu Wushe's hand!

"Stop yapping. You have no idea how tenacious this guy's willpower is, or how ruthless he is to himself!"

Red light flickered as the artifact spirit spoke.

"Didn't you submit to a master too?" Blue light flickered, and another voice retorted.

"Heh heh, although I submitted, I can still control the body, unlike you two..."

Blood Butcher let out a strange laugh.

Lu Yuan: "..."

Among the many calamities, Blood Butcher had the most lively personality and loved to mock others.

The Gold Calamity Devouring Army was the complete opposite, with a calm and humorless personality.

While Blood Butcher and the scythe's two spirits mocked each other, Lu Yuan stood opposite Chu Wushe.

"Where did you get that top-grade spirit artifact?"

Lu Yuan asked.

"I got it at Thunder Mountain at Imperial Capital University," Chu Wushe said in a hoarse voice.

When he was cultivating at Thunder Mountain, a strange voice often rang in his ears.

"Let me enter your body, and you will become stronger!"

"Don't you crave power? Don't you crave defeating your inner demons and proving yourself to your father?"

Chu Wushe recalled the experience of obtaining the scythe.

"I told my father about this, and he clearly told me that this was a top-grade spirit artifact, and a top-grade spirit artifact with an artifact spirit at that," Chu Wushe said.

"The choice was mine. If I couldn't make the scythe submit, my body would be controlled by it. Conversely, submitting would make me stronger!"

"Impressive."

Learning that Chu Wushe had threatened the scythe with his own death to force its submission, Lu Yuan couldn't help but marvel.

On the other side, Blood Butcher and the scythe stopped their chatter.

Blood Butcher merged back into Lu Yuan, and the scythe returned to Chu Wushe's body.

Clatter—

A thick smell of blood permeated the air. Lu Yuan's pupils turned crimson, while Chu Wushe's pupils turned blue.

Red and blue light interwove and burst forth!

Law Realm seven-star, Law Realm eight-star...

Transcendent Realm!

Lu Yuan's realm soared, finally stopping at the Transcendent Realm!

On the other hand, Chu Wushe's expression was pained as he returned to being an ordinary person, and upon hearing the scythe's words, he stared directly at Tang Jinghui, who was in the Saint Realm.

"Hmm?"

Tang Jinghui frowned; his spirit power was rapidly weakening!

What was going on?

The students were dumbfounded, watching as Lu Yuan broke through to the Transcendent Realm.

The next second, Lu Yuan became an ordinary person, and Chu Wushe broke through to the Transcendent Realm!

Tang Jinghui's mouth twitched. This time it was Lu Yuan's turn to stare at him, causing his spirit power to rapidly weaken!

"Master, are you surprised? Is it unexpected?" Blood Butcher said.

"It is indeed quite unexpected. Unexpected enough that I want to have Nine Vipers beat you up."

Lu Yuan's tone was calm.

Thump—

Blood Butcher left Lu Yuan's body and knelt on one knee, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"What exactly is going on?" Lu Yuan asked.

"My subordinate and blood scythe complement each other, allowing you and Chu Wushe to gain two different abilities!"

Hearing that Lu Yuan's tone wasn't right, Blood Butcher didn't dare to be playful.

"Which two different abilities?"

"One allows you or Chu Wushe to have a skyrocketing realm, and the second forces the opponent to lose their spirit power!" Blood Butcher said seriously.

Lu Yuan and Chu Wushe looked at each other.

blood scythe was the name of that top-grade spirit artifact.

And this top-grade spirit artifact possessed two artifact spirits.

"In other words, one of us can have a skyrocketing realm, and one of us can make..." Lu Yuan's brain worked rapidly.

"Domain Realm!"

Tang Jinghui said.

"One of you can make a Domain Realm Practitioner lose their spirit power!" Tang Jinghui gave the accurate realm.

He now only had one-fifth of his spirit power left, and even casting his domain was very difficult.

One had to know that he was in the Saint Realm; for a Domain Realm, they would be 100% unable to use spirit power!

In the test field, Lu Yuan felt his realm soaring.

"From now on, when we fight together, I'll boost my realm, and you'll engage in close combat with others."

Lu Yuan proposed.

"Why should I?" Chu Wushe put his hands in his pockets.

"What is your level in close combat?"

"My fist technique is superb, nearing the Pinnacle!" Chu Wushe's tone couldn't hide his pride.

He specialized in fist techniques and had been practicing since he could remember.

"My close combat isn't even at the level of basic proficiency, so you handle the close combat with others," Lu Yuan said reasonably.

Chu Wushe: "..."

"It's useless to disagree; Blood Butcher holds the dominant power," Lu Yuan added.

Chu Wushe: "..."

"Fine." Chu Wushe agreed reluctantly.

"Is it fun being a principal?"

Having determined who would boost their realm and who would do the close combat, Chu Wushe shifted to asking this question.

Recently, news of Lu Yuan serving as the principal of Pengcheng University had been spreading like wildfire.

He was on the trending list every other day!

Is it fun?

Lu Yuan thought of the images of him dealing with documents every day, being overwhelmed by work for the students, and not even being able to sleep well.

Once upon a time, Lu Yuan, like Chu Wushe, thought being a principal would be cool.

But once he actually became one, he found it was completely different—all kinds of trivial matters needed to be handled, and there were meetings every day.

Fun my foot!

Lu Yuan thought.

"Fun, it's so much fun," Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"It's a pity you can't experience how much fun I'm having at all."

Lu Yuan feigned regret.

"Hmph!"

Chu Wushe snorted coldly.

"The principal promised me that as long as I kill a Transcendent Realm ferocious beast, he'll let me be principal for a month!" Chu Wushe said.

Imperial Capital University was different from Pengcheng University; it didn't have credits or principal experience vouchers.

Chen Yaozong had been so annoyed by Chu Wushe's constant asking that he gave Chu Wushe an impossible task.

That was for a Law Realm Practitioner to take down a Transcendent Realm Demon King!

"There's such a thing?" Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

He didn't say the words "Why don't you let me help you," but instead waited for Chu Wushe to say it himself.

Sure enough!

"That..."

Chu Wushe was a bit embarrassed.

"Why don't you help me?"
