A new year had passed before the Shrek Nin Devils first strode into Heaven Dou Imperial Academy shadow. Now, they returned—not as supplicants, but as prospective equals, seeking a formal merger to secure their place in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament as they cannot enter from their own city as they were suppress by the noble there. It's something that happen even before Li Wei came to Shrek Academy. The academy ivory towers gleamed beneath the afternoon sun, banners fluttering like silent heralds as the Shrek team approached the gates.
Li Wei remember that in the canon, the Shrek academy need to disband and joined the other academy as they do not have money to sustain the training further for the student. Now the same thing happen but with different reasons. They come here to get the eligibility of participating in the tournament.
As they passed beneath the grand arch, students thronged to watch. Whispers followed their every step.
"Hold on!"
Among the crowd, Xue Beng lounged with few companions, his sneer poised to deliver its customary insult."Who are you?"
"We are from Shrek academy," Flender step forward explaining their motive coming here respectful manner. "We've accepted the invitation of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy to come for exchange. Please guide the way toward your dean office."
"Exchange with our academy? Your poor looking fellow?" But Xue Beng take that chance as to sneer and dismiss what Flender said.
"Get lost." Even his followers echoes the exchange. "Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is not a place for poor looking fellow like you guys."
Hearing that make Li Wei felt fuming in his heart. 'This is the problem with the noble. They will never help common people and left them to rot.'
He remember in Douluo Dalu 2 where Spirit Hall disappear, common people can be said to be oppressed and regard more like a slave. No one help them. At least with big power like Spirit Hall, all common people will be able to awaken their martial spirit freely and poor people with low spirit power still be able to eat with allowance from Spirit Hall and not sell their body because of no money.
Thinking about this make Li Wei want to kill Tang San even more. The hypocrite that cause that situation.
'Tang San, you will live until even fate will be destroy by my hand'
One of Xue Beng following then move forward and run toward Dai Mubai while punching toward him.
Bang!
But Dai Mubai counter it with his own fist. Then Xue Beng follower flown back.
Xue Beng seeing this also punch toward Dai Mubai, seeing that weak attempt of a punch. Dai Mubai just hold out his hand and catch before he punch Xue Beng. Adding in a few punch in between.
Seeing the commotion Qin Ming reach in time befoe scolding Xue Beng.
Qin Ming then take the role of the guide taking them toward the dean office.
Qin Ming introduce the Heavens Dou Imperial Academy along the way.
"This is the board of education for Heaven Dou Imperial Academy." They stop infront a seemingly large building. Then three people step out of it.
Flender then step forward and introduce himself. "Shrek Academy, Flender. My martial spirit is Eagle Owl. Agility attack system. 7-ring soul saint at level 78. Greeting senior."
"Dean Flender do not be to polite. I'm the president of the board of education, Meng Shen ji." The one in the middle introduce himself and given a laugh. "My martial spirit is Black Genie. Control system, 8-ring Soul Douluo at level 86."
Then the person on the right side with a little plump body then step forward. "Vice president of the board, Bai Bao Shan. My martial spirit is Star Furnace. Defend system, 8-ring Soul Douluo at level 85."
Hearing this most of the people in Shrek gasp in shock except for Li Wei as he knows more Title Douluo im Spirit Hall as he grown there.
"Vice president of the board, Zhi Lin." A lean old man at the left then step forward introduce himself. "My martial spirit is Azure Vine. Control system, 8-ring Soul Douluo at level 83."
Even the teacher of Shrek academy gasp in shock after hearing that another Soul Douluo introduce himself.
Yu Xiaogang and Tang San then seem to think for themselves as they tried to take advantage of the others.
"Let's go in." Meng Shen Ji then invite them inside.
---
Inside the central hall, several chair was already place for the guest and ornate carpets spoke of imperial grandeur. The three head sit at the chair in the front at the center while the other sit at the left and right side.
They speak a little among themselve about the term and conditions for the merger.
"I heard that there a genius in your school can be said to be out of this world. Can I know which of them?" Meng Shen Ji then ask Flender.
"That will be Li Wei. Li Wei can you step forward." Seeing that the other party want to know about his greatest genius that can be to be the only one in the continent make Flender proud.
"Greeting president." Li Wei step forward and already expect roughly what will happen so he brace himself.
Meng Shen Ji then spread the pressure toward Li Wei.
Seeing this all of them understand that Meng Shen Ji want to test Li Wei strength.
Immediately, the atmosphere pressed down, as if the hall itself weighed upon Li Wei chest. His surroundings dimmed under the weight of invisible chains.
Spirit power compression... Tang San thought, feeling the edges of his own spirit pulse in response.
Li Wei stance remained firm. His jaw set, arms unfolding at his sides. Sweat beaded on his brow, but his resolve did not waver.
Meng Shen Ji intensified the pressure—each heartbeat became a battle, each breath a stolen treasure.
He holding it... Xiao Wu whispered beside Zhu Zhuqing, her ears flattened with disbelief.
Seeing that the pressure already reach one third of Li Wei rank of level 52. The three people of the board of education felt shock as Li Wei still not calling his own martial spirit to stand against the pressure as usually ordinary people would already summon it.
The other 8 student of Shrek that is Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Meng Yiran, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar and Tang San also astonished with Li Wei durability.
Tang San even think that using his own Tang Sect martial art will be hard to withstand the pressure.
The pressure already reach level 68.
Li Wei then flow the spirit power throughout his body to withstand the pressure as the pressure already reach level 75. Then it reach level 82. Li Wei still enduring it without releasing his martial but that is already hard for him to contain.
As the pressure reach rank 83. He then release his martial spirit Diendriver gun. He insert the card into the side slot of gun.
[KamenRide: Diend]
A burst of digital energy fires from the gun into the sky. Transparent blue panels flash out in a ring, racing downward to crash around him like glass.
Blue light forms along his body, digitized armor plates materializing one after another — starting from boots, gauntlets, chest armor, and finally the iconic barcode-themed helmet.
A bright cyan flare explodes outward as the transformation finalizes.
Diend stand there against the pressure. Seeing this the three then shock again seeing this. A martial spirit that able to transform someone, it already almost reach the level of true avatar that usually level 70 able use.
The pressure that Li Wei felt before disappear.
Seeing this Meng Shen Ji then increase the pressure again.
Level 83.
Level 84.
Level 85.
As it reach this amount of pressure, the one thing that he never done before infront of the others has been seen.
His martial spirit ring then appear.
Purple, purple, black, black and black.
Five spirit ring with an impossible age appear infront of them.
The three from the board and the people from Shrek all exclaim in shock.
Everytime Li Wei use his ability, his spirit ring never appear. They thought that because of Li Wei martial spirit mutation.Now they witness the first time the spirit ring that Li wei had.
Even Flender mouth open and he forget to close it. Meng Shen Ji seeing this forgot to applied the pressure as he saw the spirit ring configuration of Li Wei.
