A Scathing Verdict on the World's Greatest Healer, Ye Lingling Completely Lost Her Composure

Driven to the height of fury, Zhao Wuji laughed instead, slamming his thick legs into the ground!

Boom!

The white stone beneath his feet instantly cracked open into a huge crater!

He had not released his Great Strength Vajra Bear Martial Soul, but the violent pressure of a level seventy-six Power Attack System Battle Soul Saint's Soul Power still came crashing down on Chu Yuan and his companions like an avalanche and a tsunami!

At the same time, Zhao Wuji's palm-leaf-fan-sized hand swept forward with a howling gale, bearing down like Mount Tai as it reached straight for Chu Yuan's shoulder. He clearly intended to capture Chu Yuan in front of everyone!

Seeing Zhao Wuji make his move, Dai Mubai, standing behind him, broke into a gleeful, sinister grin:

"Teacher Zhao is the Immovable Wisdom King, a level seventy-six Soul Saint! Even without his Martial Soul, that claw is enough to shatter an ordinary Soul King's bones. Let's see how that pretty boy keeps acting so arrogant!"

Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly as well, watching the scene intently. He wanted to see what trump card Chu Yuan had against a Soul Saint's absolute strength.

Yet faced with Zhao Wuji's mighty Soul Saint strike, Chu Yuan remained as calm as still water.

"How dare you! How could a brute like you be allowed to act so arrogantly before my lord!"

A cool, crisp shout suddenly rang out!

Keqing, standing to Chu Yuan's left, had a surge of cold light in her amethyst eyes!

Before Zhao Wuji's hand could come within three zhang of her, the Electro Vision at Keqing's waist erupted with dazzling violet-gold lightning!

Unlike yesterday, when she had casually repelled Dai Mubai at the Rose Hotel, the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing held nothing back against this native level seventy-six Soul Saint, revealing the true edge she had gained from the Heavenly Principles' blessing!

Clang-!

The instant the one-handed sword Lion's Roar left its sheath, the air above the entire long street was set ablaze by violent, pure divine violet lightning!

Keqing's slender, graceful figure, clad in purple and black, turned into a sharply defined violet Lightning Stiletto and vanished on the spot!

"What?!"

Zhao Wuji, who was charging forward to grab Chu Yuan, felt his pupils contract sharply. A flash of violet light passed before his eyes, and a lethally sharp sword intent that made every hair on his body stand on end appeared in an instant, three chi from his chest!

No Soul Rings!

Not a single Soul Ring had lit up on his opponent, yet the violet-gold lightning laws gathered on that slender sword were so lofty in level and so fierce in their killing power that even he, the Immovable Wisdom King famed for his defense, felt a sharp, stinging pain!

"First Soul Skill, Immovable Bright King Body!!"

Horrified, Zhao Wuji no longer dared hold anything back. Though he had not intended to use his Martial Soul, he instantly summoned the Great Strength Vajra Bear and used Martial Soul Possession. Seven Soul Rings-two yellow, two purple, and three black-lit up at once. Golden light surged from his First Soul Ring, his muscles swelled a size larger, and he crossed his palms before his chest to take the sword head-on!

The very instant he completed Martial Soul Possession, Keqing appeared fiercely in midair!

Her violet hair danced wildly, and her long, jade-like legs, wrapped in deep-purple stockings, traced a breathtaking arc through the lightning. Lion's Roar carried the Thunderous Might of her heavenly street patrol, turning into a sky full of interwoven violet-gold sword shadows that struck Zhao Wuji's crossed arms head-on!

"My sword shines as I do, cutting through all that is impure!!"

Rumble!!

A terrifying blast, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploded in the middle of the long street!

Violent violet-gold lightning sword Qi crashed into Zhao Wuji's golden Soul Power shield, and the blinding lightning instantly sent the bluestone paving slabs within ten zhang flying!

Crack!!

After a deadlock lasting less than half a breath, the golden shield of Zhao Wuji's prized First Soul Skill, Immovable Bright King Body, gave a brittle crack under the strain as Keqing's pure, peerless divine Electro power and concentrated sword intent cut into it. Cracks spread across it, and it shattered on the spot!

Immediately afterward, the final violet-gold sword beam, condensed almost to solidity, struck Zhao Wuji's crossed arms with crushing force!

"Ugh-!!"

Zhao Wuji let out a muffled groan of pain. As though struck head-on by a mountain of lightning weighing ten thousand jun, his burly frame of over two hundred jin could no longer hold its ground. His feet pounded against the stones as he staggered wildly backward a full seven or eight great strides!

Only after retreating to Flender's side did Zhao Wuji barely manage to dispel the tyrannical force of lightning that had invaded his body. His entire arms had been scorched black by the electricity!

In midair, Keqing used the force of the recoil to leap lightly backward, landing once more at Chu Yuan's side. Her sword pointed diagonally toward the ground, a wisp of violet lightning hissing at its tip.

Not a sound could be heard!

Dai Mubai, who had been waiting to see Chu Yuan make a fool of himself, was now staring so hard his eyes nearly popped out, his mouth hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.

That was Zhao Wuji, a level seventy-six Battle Soul Saint, the Immovable Wisdom King famed for his defense and strength!

After activating his strongest defensive Soul Skill short of Martial Soul Avatar, his protective golden light had been shattered head-on by a single sword strike from the violet-haired girl beside Chu Yuan, who had not even revealed a Soul Ring, and he had been forcibly driven back eight steps?!

"Th-this... how is this possible?!"

Behind them, Tang San sucked in a sharp breath, his palms instantly drenched in cold sweat.

Through his Purple Demon Eye, what the violet-haired girl had just used was not a Soul Skill at all, but a terrifying power that fused swordsmanship and the laws of lightning to their utmost!

If a girl who merely attended him could repel a level seventy-six Soul Saint head-on, just how terrifying was the strength of the white-clad young man she guarded so respectfully behind her?!

Remembering that he had tried to use his Purple Demon Eye to spy on him the previous night, Tang San felt a bone-deep chill surge through his back.

Xiao Wu clutched Tang San's clothes tightly, looking at the imposing Keqing and then at the indifferent Chu Yuan, her beautiful eyes full of shock.

But the most shaken person present was none other than Flender, the dean of Shrek Academy!

Flender's eyes, behind his lenses, were fixed on the Lion's Roar in Keqing's hand. He glanced at the astrologer Mona beside her, whose presence was equally unfathomable; Zhu Zhuqing, shrouded in lightning shadows and a baleful presence; and Ning Rongrong, standing obediently to one side. He felt stormy waves rise in his mind!

No Soul Ring fluctuations, yet she broke through Old Zhao's Immovable Bright King Body head-on with pure lightning sword intent... when did a monster like this appear on the continent?!

Flender's heart pounded, and a faint trace of cold sweat appeared at his temples.

He had thought that Shrek Academy, which he had founded and which gathered geniuses like Dai Mubai and Tang San, was already a gathering place for monsters rarely seen in the world.

But compared with the lineup around the mysterious young man before him, it was like a small sorcerer standing before a great one!

A violet-haired swordswoman who could challenge a Soul Saint head-on without revealing a Soul Ring; a blue-clad girl who was equally unfathomable; plus a Hell Spirit Cat that had mutated and evolved, and the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...

These were no wild geniuses. They were clearly a terrifying force capable of making the entire continent's Soul Master World tremble!

"Old Zhao, stop! Don't be reckless again!"

Seeing Zhao Wuji's face flush red, as though he still wanted to use a higher-level Soul Skill to save face, Flender hurriedly placed a hand on his shoulder and shook his head, his eyes full of wariness.

If they really kept fighting, and the white-clad young man leading them and the other blue-clad girl both made a move, the two old fellows would probably not only fail to gain the slightest advantage today, but might even suffer a crushing public defeat in Suotuo City!
