The Ultimate Battle, Founding Fight Heaven Pavilion

Time flew by, and fifteen years passed in the blink of an eye.

Seagod Pavilion

A man sat cross-legged in a room with his eyes closed in meditation, while Su Yu sat nearby, playing the Origin Nurturing Heart Calming Melody. The man was Xu Xing. He was now twenty-eight years old. At the age of twenty-two, he had already cultivated to become a Titled Douluo, and now he had reached rank ninety-eight as a Super Douluo, only one step away from becoming a Limit Douluo.

Today, Xu Xing intended to take that step and become a Limit Douluo.

Xu Xing frowned tightly as the Soul Power fluctuations around him grew increasingly violent. Even with Su Yu’s Origin Nurturing Heart Calming Melody suppressing them, that frenzied aura still rushed straight at them.

Bang!

In an instant, the final shackle broke free. Xu Xing’s aura immediately became as turbulent as raging waves. Su Yu watched the scene with a smile and gave a slight nod before putting away the Taigu Yiyin Qin.

Xu Xing opened his eyes and looked at Su Yu excitedly. "Teacher, I broke through! I finally became a Limit Douluo!"

Su Yu smiled and patted Xu Xing on the arm. "Not bad, kid."

"Hehe, Teacher, I’m going to challenge the Pavilion Master again!" Xu Xing’s eyes gleamed brightly, and confidence radiated from him.

Over the years, Xu Xing had challenged Mo Qi countless times. Especially after breaking through to Titled Douluo, he challenged him every few days. He had already thoroughly figured out Mo Qi’s Soul Skills and combat techniques, and the two had become more like buddies. After all, Mo Qi looked to be only in his twenties or thirties now, and he had never voluntarily revealed his age.

"Go on. Come find me in my room after you’re done," Su Yu said with a smile and a nod.

After saying that, Su Yu left, while Xu Xing immediately rushed downstairs. Mo Qi was already waiting for him in the hall below.

When he saw Xu Xing come down, Mo Qi smiled and said, "Sixteen years, Xiao Xing. You’ve been at Shrek for sixteen years. I watched you join the academy and grow stronger step by step until today. Of everyone I’ve seen, you’re the one most likely to obtain a godhood through your own efforts."

"Hehe, Pavilion Master, don’t start reminiscing yet. Let’s fight first!" Xu Xing said with a smile.

Mo Qi smiled and nodded. "Fine. Let’s fight above Seagod Lake."

With that, Mo Qi walked outside, and Xu Xing followed. They treated Seagod Pavilion as if it were solid ground and headed straight to the center of the lake.

"Xiao Xing, it’s been sixteen years. Do you still remember why you wanted to defeat me?" Mo Qi asked Xu Xing.

Xu Xing gave a bitter smile. "Of course I remember. I can’t get it out of my mind day or night."

Mo Qi smiled. "Good that you remember. Come on, then."

As soon as he finished speaking, eighteen dazzling Soul Rings appeared around them. The atmosphere instantly turned tense, and battle was about to erupt…

Tianqi Village

Su Yu appeared there. His promise back then had merely been meant to give Xu Xing a goal to strive toward. Now, that goal was no longer necessary. Su Yu had come to revive the villagers of Tianqi Village.

The Infinity Gauntlet appeared on Su Yu’s hand, and the green Time Stone lit up. Living people appeared throughout the village one after another. Only after every villager who had died that year, Xu Xing’s uncle, and his long-dead parents had been resurrected did Su Yu put away the Infinity Gauntlet.

Inside Xu Xing’s home, his parents stared at each other in bewilderment. They had clearly died, so how were they alive again? And why had they appeared in their own home!?

Su Yu entered Xu Xing’s home and explained what had happened to them. Then he told them to wait peacefully at home, as Xu Xing would be back before long.

Shrek Academy, Seagod Lake

Xu Xing and Mo Qi had already exchanged three hundred rounds. By now, Mo Qi had gradually fallen into a disadvantage, but Xu Xing could not bring himself to feel happy. Xu Xing suddenly shouted, "Pavilion Master! Please use your full strength against me!"

Mo Qi looked at the stubborn Xu Xing and sighed softly. He truly had not been fighting with his full strength, because he knew about what had happened between Su Yu and Xu Xing.

"Xiao Xing, then take my strongest spear strike. This move is called Fleeting Glimpse. It isn’t one of my Soul Skills, but a Self-Created Soul Skill His Excellency taught me," Mo Qi said as he looked at Xu Xing.

Xu Xing nodded solemnly and stared at Mo Qi with a serious expression.

Mo Qi gripped the spear in his hand tightly and shouted, "Fleeting Glimpse!"

The next moment, Mo Qi appeared directly above Xu Xing. Xu Xing looked at him, and suddenly, he seemed to see the world exploding. All living beings were suffering beyond measure, all crying out for help. The scene stunned Xu Xing utterly.

Before Xu Xing could react, Mo Qi’s spear strike came crashing down. However, Mo Qi seemed to have known Xu Xing would freeze, so his spear was aimed beside Xu Xing rather than at him.

Boom!

With one strike, the waters of Seagod Lake exploded straight into the clouds. A moment later, Xu Xing took a deep breath and said, "I lost… Pavilion Master, but I’ll figure out how to counter that spear strike soon!"

"Counter what? If you used the Fight Heaven Battle Art from your Fight Heaven Pavilion, beating me would be child’s play," Mo Qi said with a smile.

Xu Xing said righteously, "Teacher said I can’t use it, so I definitely won’t."

Fight Heaven Pavilion was an organization founded by Su Yu. He was its Pavilion Master, and beneath him were fifty Fighting Gods. Those fifty Fighting Gods were naturally the fifty students from Class one back then. Now, even the weakest among them was a rank ninety-one Titled Douluo. Fifty twenty-eight-year-old Titled Douluo—this was undoubtedly the strongest force on the Douluo Continent.

Moreover, every one of them had cultivated their Fight Heaven Battle Art to the Fighting God realm. Even a rank ninety-one Titled Douluo could fight a Limit Douluo to a draw.

Su Yu had already declared that Fight Heaven Pavilion would neither recruit another person nor lose a single one. Their purpose was to protect the Douluo Continent. If something arose that the Douluo Continent could not resolve, they would take action.

After Xu Xing finished fighting Mo Qi, he went to see Su Yu. He arrived outside Su Yu’s room and knocked on the door. After Su Yu said to come in, Xu Xing entered.

"Teacher, I lost… but I’ll definitely win next time!" Xu Xing said with his head lowered.

Su Yu smiled. "Alright, let this matter end here. I don’t care whether you keep challenging him in the future. I’ve already taken care of what I promised you. Go back and take a look."

Xu Xing was so excited that he nearly cried. "T-Teacher… You didn’t lie to me?"

"Why would I lie to you? Your parents are waiting for you at home. But you and your parents are about the same age now, so don’t be too surprised when you see them," Su Yu said with a smile.

Xu Xing’s parents had both been in their twenties when they died, so after being revived, they were still in their twenties. Xu Xing himself was already twenty-eight. Perhaps when the parents and son reunited, they would look more like brothers reunited.
