A Journey Through...

SUPREME PONTIFF'S HALL (A FEW DAYS LATER)

...

The supreme pontiff was sitting on her chair waiting for the report on the mission she sent out for the two title Douluo's, Yu Xiaogang showed up and they began their conversation and then he brought out his pontiff's decree and asked for a favour in the middle of the conversation a guard showed up black and white armour with the symbol of spirit hall on him, "This subordinate comes with information from the two elders...", "Spit it out then.", "M-mission failed...", "Failed? What happened?", "The two elders are in critical condition and came back each missing an arm, we have gathered intel that they lost to the number of people there that outclassed them.", "Oh? How strong?", "The weakest was a rank 93 title Douluo and the strongest was a rank, 99 demigod.", "Tsk! Looks like your son has some powerful backing to have a demigod come for him!", the two continued to talk with Yu Xiaogang asking that they leave Tang san alone the supreme pontiff caught the pontiff's decree and then she said, "Alright, I'll promise you! But I have a condition! A life for a life, I'll kill you, in exchange for Tang san's life!", Yu Xiaogang didn't hesitate and replied with, "Alright, I, Yu Xiaogang am willing! Supreme pontiff make your move! And I hope supreme pontiff doesn't go back on her word!", "Tsk! You... don't think that I won't kill you!!", the supreme pontiff lashed out with long, sharp like black legs of a spider and put pushed them forward towards Yu Xiaogang's heart, he didn't dodge and then the attack stopped near his heart, they both looked at where the attack was and then is dissipated, "Yu Xiaogang you bastard! It's more than 20 years and you back to bully me again?!", "S-supreme pontiff I...tang san...", "I won't harm him again, get lost!", Yu Xiaogang was leaving and opened the door but then stopped and looked back towards the supreme pontiff and said, "If the day comes and you are threatened, I will do the same thing for you, after all, I loved you...", "Love? Yu Xiaogang is still fit enough to spout about love?!", he turned back and left with the guard.

SPIRIT CITY

...

Everyone just passed the gate into Spirit city and looked at the venue built for the new round in the tournament, Yu Xiaogang then began to discuss the rules for the tournament and how they should still be wary of spirit hall, "There's nothing they couldn't do I will definitely them at the tournament!", Tang san declared with determined eyes, "Don't worry we're right next to you, we'll definitely be able to defeat spirit hall, Mubai has just become a spirit king and Ray is a spirit emperor now, there's no way we can't win!", they all nodded their heads and then Xiao Wu asked who their opponent was for the first round, then Flender and Zhao Wuji showed up and showed them the chart for the battles.

Later in the day, they began their match, it was against Dai Wei Si, Mubai's brother's team, Mubai had a discouraged face and Ray went up to him, "Mubai, your now a spirit king you have the power to defeat the people in this team, don't show any hesitation and think about how far we've got together as a team!", Mubai gritted his teeth, breathed in and out and then said, "Your right let's win this!", the Shrek team went on and Dai Wei Si said, "Little brother...we've really not seen each other for a long time!"

Everyone began to fight, Ray knocked out two opponents swiftly and watched Mubai's confrontation, right now it was equal and not Mubai struggling as he did in the original, 'Damn it! He's still hesitating a bit! It's not like before but he should be able to win this! Come on bro!', " Little brother! Can you beat me this time?", "If that's what you wish for!", Mubai used his new 5th ability [White Tiger Devilgod Transformation] which gave him a boost and then he used his 4th ability which gave out the image of a big white tiger head that started to shoot out white energy like meteors at his brother and knocked him back, "You've grown stronger little brother!", Mubai didn't answer and then hesitated to attack again, 'Mubai let go of your fear!', 'Ray? I can't do it...I still can't harm my big brother.', 'Mubai I will tell you the truth about your brothe-.', 'The truth? What truth?', 'As I was saying, a decree in your family dictates that the two princes have to fight to the death till one of them wins and the one who wins becomes the king, your brother treats you as such and calls you a weakling so you become stronger. It's called tough love for a reason and every time he treats you this way it's not because he wants you, he himself knows that he's too weak to change anything, to protect anyone as you have, remember that feeling, you sought strength to protect the people you love, he, on the other hand, is hard-pressed as the older prince to try and strive for greatness and defeat and kill you, tell me Mubai, do you really think he truly wants to do such a thing?', Mubai didn't respond but he looked at his brother who said to him, "Why do you not attack?! I thought you were beginning to show your power but I guess you're as weak as the day you left!", Mubai looked his brother in the eyes, 'Look into his eyes and tell me what you see.', Mubai saw the broken heart in his brother's eyes, 'I see now...', the brothers both went into the spirit fusion forms and Ray teleported everyone else to another area of the stage to battle, Ray knocked another two people off the stage with ease and they saw this, "Bastard!", "Shut up!", he then knocked the other person off the stage and then they saw how quick he did so and acted wary around him, Tang san and the rest took this opportunity to take out the rest, it took a bit of time but they eventually managed to pressure the rest of the stage, all that was left was the two-spirit fusion attacks, they were both neck and neck even when Dai Wei Si's spirit fusion technique miraculously began to power up some more but then Mubai's spirit fusion began to scorch the stage and red hot flames spread throughout its body, it began to charge up its attack and then blast forward with immense speed and strength and smashed his brother's spirit fusion to the ground making the ground crumble along with his brother's fusion ability.

Dai Wei Si was barely standing, he looked at his brother in his spirit fusion and thought about how he didn't care about it anymore, and pushed his fist forward and closed his eyes, Mubai turned off the spirit fusion and looked at his brother who was barely standing with a tear in his eye and pushed his fist against his brother's making a fist bump and said, "Brother...you don't have to lie to me anymore, I know that you love me!", and then Mubai grabbed him into a hug and asked him why and then his brother told him it was a promise that spirit hall made for the sage, "But brother, I already obtained the inheritance of the sage...", "W-what did you say?", "I already obtained the inheritance but Dai Tian that bastard tried to make me get rid of it and he almost did along with blinding and trying to Zhu Zhu Qing!", "Impossible, this would be an act of betrayal against the evil eye race! How could he...", then they began to discuss the conspiracy of spirit hall, "So brother you said that you almost lost it?", "Yeah, but my brother Ray helped me out and made it so that it looked like I lost it and he gave me a pill to help Zhu Zhu Qing.", "So you still have it then, that's good it means that you have the strength to go against spirit hall when the time comes. Also, where is this 'brother Ray' I would like to thank him", "Oh, I don't know, he normally leaves as soon as we win a match.", "Shame, maybe next time then.", "Yes!"

...

NEXT DAY

...

Everyone gathered for the battle for their next opponent, blazing academy, but they quickly up, "We know that we are not a match against you, save your strength against spirit hall..." and they left but then the team from spirit hall showed up in front of them and said, "You're Tang san? Tang Wu's son?", Tang san didn't answer but gave a smirk instead, "Die!", their captain said but then Mubai went up front and said, "Don't be so arrogant towards me and this young master! Tell you one thing all those act arrogant in front of us will ultimately be taught a lesson!", "us?", "He means me dumbass.", Ray walked up to him and released his spiritual pressure enough for him to be pushed down, he tried to resist but then found that he would be suppressed, even more, he then gritted his teeth and said, "I-I'll be waiting" and quickly left with the rest of his team members, "That will show them not to mess with us!", Xiao Wu commented and then everyone smiled and left the stage.

...

A FEW DAYS LATER

...

In the past few days, Yu Xiaogang brought everyone together to try a spirit ability for Tang san but they couldn't completely master it but were very close with Ray and Yu Xiaogang's insight they were able to come with great progress and soon it was time for the battle...

The open ceremony was going on and it began to rain, the supreme pontiff lifted her hand and stopped the rain and everyone from spirit hall started to say how powerful she was and a few of the other douluo's their sweating at the scene a bit, 'Bitch, please! When I become a spirit saint I will be able to do the same! Unfathomable my ass!', this is what Ray was thinking but then he quickly dispersed this thought as everyone entered the stage, Ray entered the stage and felt chills and thought, 'Don't tell me...', he turned around and looked at the stands and saw girls with different coloured hair, they had the look of an idol and to Ray they gave off a terrible aura, 'Shit! They showed up! Once this shit is up imma run for it! Can't deal with yandere and don't want to, being tied up to a chair is not my thing, maybe I will have to change their memories too...good idea...hahaha...', the idols spotted Ray looking at them and all thought, 'My darling! He's looking at me! Maybe he realises my love!', but in actuality, he was thinking, 'Damn crazy bitches...'

But then the match started and he began to focus on it, he knew what they were going to do based on the original but that always can't be right for everything now can it or can it? Ray smiled and then waited for Ma Hong Jun to attack which he then strengthened and slight blue flames came out of his flames, 'So it does work...as I get closer to spirit saint my elements begin to change...right now I'm rank 69, not long at all now', he saw Ma Hong Jun's flames get passed through but some of the flames were stopped by the enemies captain who injured himself slightly in the process, Zhu Zhu Qing rushed past with a wind buff that Ray gave her and she knocked out a support type off the stage.

Eventually, the fight carried on and then the members of spirit hall tried to attack Tang san but then he was defended long enough to go into blackening, the enemy then went into their spirit fusion but then Rongrong buffed the 4 heaviest attackers Tang san, Mubai and Ma Hong Jun and Ray who all attacked the spirit fusion and the first 3 weakened it but Ray finished it with a combo ability and used his beast domain to weaken it further.

Someone on spirit hall's team called Hu Li Na was buffed and then used an ability that covered the field in the purple fog that disappeared right after it was in effect by Rongrong using her skull bone given to her earlier, and then Ray went into the attack the other support and sent her out.

Then Oscar gave everyone chilli and they began to glow red with a boost of energy, Hu Li Na got angry and joined the spirit fusion of the enemy, 'Let's see how strong this thing is against one of my real punches then!', Ray thought, they began to shoot down flames but then a roar went out into the sky and the sky began to distort and the clouds suddenly gathered, it began to feel cold, Ray used [Ice Storm Domain] and the stage began to freeze up, the flames that were going to rain down instead died into embers and disappeared, and then neon blue lightning began to shoot down from the sky at the spirit fusion ability and made it fall but it didn't dissipate yet, "Tang san lets give them a show, lets use it!", Tang san nodded his head and they began to join together in a circle, they all put spirit power towards Tang san and a bright light came from the sky above the members of Shrek.

A giant hammer glistening with might, it was clear sky hammer physical body but it had something new on it, it shined with its pink colour but it also had a silver colour mixed in with it and the front had eight different light over it of fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, time, space, light and dark on the insignia on the hammer, it was the 9 elements that Ray could control, he had mutated the attack as he had the most spirit power among his friends and was able to strengthen its attack with the elements backing it up, the hammer was thrown down on the spirit fusion attack and destroyed the fusion separating the stage and covering the stage in a rainbow colour along with the sound of an explosion ringing in everyone's ears, a print of a trigram was left on the stage that gave a dangerous feeling but quickly left along with the residual spirit energy of the attack.

The members of the team from spirit hall were unconscious and were clubbed into the ground, the members of Shrek were kneeling on the ground and Ray got up and gave everyone a recovery pill land then began to heal them.

...

NEXT DAY

...

The award ceremony was commencing, Tang san was going to get the spirit bones and the other rewards, 'So, Xiao Wu is going to try and attack Bi Bi Dong and gets hurt which then makes all the other Douluo's agitated as they find out Xiao Wu is a spirit beast, hmm lets get Dawnfang ready then...', once Tang san got the rewards, Ray looked at Xiao Wu and saw her look at Bi Bi Dong with hatred and then see's her get pushed back by her guard.

Bi Bi Dong looks at Xiao Wu with a menacing smile and says, "This evil creature take it down!", the two elders from the previous fight tried to attack but was stopped by Du Gu Bo who questioned why they keep attacking children.

Bi Bi Dong then said, "Hmph! The truth is already clear. As long as you're a title Douluo here you should be able to see that she's a 100,000 years changed spirit beast, this made the Shrek members shocked but then they were more amazed if anything then one of spirit hall's elder's said, "Kid, do you plan on siding with a spirit beast?!", Mubai smiled and said, "Hey bro do you see a spirit beast?", "Spirit beast? Nah!", "Exactly! All we see here is someone who is our friend from Shrek!", this angered Bi Bi Dong who said, "It's meaningless to say more! Yue Guan, Gui Mei, both elders, take her down! Anyone who resists will be punished!"

But then a hammer came crashing down, "So, just with one little ghost! And one chrysanthemum you think you can harm my son!", the clear sky hammer Douluo showed up, Tang Wu started to fight spirit hall and then disappeared just as quickly as he came along with the Tang san and Xiao Wu missing.

One of the elders then accused Shrek of cheating but then 4 major powerhouses then said that they want this accusation to drop and then Ray said inwardly to heaven dou's prince or should I see the princess and said, 'Thanks Miss Renxue.', which made the fake prince twitch and look at Ray and said, 'How?!', 'I've noticed for a while and I gotta say without the prince look your pretty!', 'You dare?!', 'Oh I dare princess!', which made her blush and say, 'How long have you know exactly?', 'Oh, since we met.', 'Tsk, you better not tell anyone or else', 'Oh, trust me, your secrets safe princess!', she then left the area with blush and thought, 'Crap, how could he tell?!'

Later that day everyone returned to Shrek academy and got drunk, Flender told them that they graduate and then they began to tell them their plans, it then fell on Ray, "Well, I will have to return to my clan and see what surprise grandpa was talking about.", they nodded their heads and then Ma Hong Jun said, "Ray how come I've never heard of your clan?", "Well it's one of the 4 hidden clans, the most mysterious one of all and spirit hall doesn't know where it is and even if they could they would be wiped out.", "Oh cool, you should take us there sometime.", "Maybe in the future.", then they got even drunker and then Mubai declared that everyone would return here in 5 years time, Oscar left later that day, and then Rongrong, Mubai, Zhu Zhu Qing, and Ray, split up the next day.

...

3 DAYS LATER

...

Ray was standing outside a giant gate with two guards next to it, " Who are you?!", they questioned, "Oh come on guys I've only been gone for like 8 years, you can't remember this handsome face?", and then Ray brought out his clan's badge and threw it to them and they checked it and flinched as they checked the name in it, "O-oh young master Ray your finally back, quick let him in...you've grown into a fine young man.", "Thanks, how's mom and dad doing?", "Oh, you'll know when you go inside.", the two guards looked at each and smiled mysteriously which made Ray have an odd feeling as he walked in but when he saw the familiar scenery he thought, 'Well I'm home...'
