"Next, in our Thirteenth Soul Arena's one-on-one soul battle third match, two Soul Grand Masters will take the stage. They are Soul Battle Master Zhu Zhuqing, who possesses the Beast Martial Soul Hell Spirit Cat, facing Soul Battle Master He Luo, who has already won seven consecutive victories and possesses the Beast Martial Soul Armored Rhinoceros!"
"Will Soul Grandmaster He Luo seize an eighth straight victory and charge toward ten consecutive wins, or will our newly appearing Soul Grandmaster Zhu Zhuqing claim victory?"
"Let us wait and see!"
"Now, let us welcome the two Soul Grand Masters to the stage!"
This was Soto Soul Arena. Under Grandmaster's guidance, the students of Shrek Academy had successfully passed the first phase of training.
Although the results had not met Grandmaster's expectations, and several students had even split into a few small groups, they had grown quite a bit overall.
So Grandmaster had begun the second phase of training: actual combat!
The location he chose was this Soto Soul Arena.
The one taking the stage now was Zhu Zhuqing. As Zhu Zhuqing and He Luo stepped onto the arena platform, the crowd below instantly erupted.
Some were amazed that Zhu Zhuqing's figure could develop so perfectly at such a young age, while another group was familiar with Zhu Zhuqing's opponent, He Luo, and cheered for him. Since He Luo could seize seven consecutive victories, he naturally had his own abilities.
Everyone from Shrek was also seated in the viewing area. Ning Rongrong, who had the best relationship with Zhu Zhuqing, was waving and shouting for her. Seeing this, Oscar quickly raised his hand and shouted a couple of lines too, but soon lowered it again, because the atmosphere here felt a little off.
Tang San had no reaction at all. He was still hostile toward Zhu Zhuqing, who was in Jiang Qianhai's group. In his eyes, his teacher was such a great talent, yet those two people had actually shown his teacher attitude and looked down on his theories!
It was simply unforgivable!
Besides, looking down on his teacher meant looking down on him!
If not for the fact that they were still classmates, he would have secretly made a move against Zhu Zhuqing long ago.
Xiao Wu, meanwhile, stood firmly on her Third Brother's side.
Dai Mubai, who had already been discharged from the hospital, had not come at all. His relationship with the small group of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong was extremely poor, constantly hovering on the verge of a fight.
As Dai Mubai's lackey, Ma Hongjun could not bring himself to be hostile toward beautiful women, but he did not dare approach them either.
Grandmaster looked at Zhu Zhuqing on the stage and sneered inwardly.
This student refused to listen to him and insisted on carrying that ridiculous Black Ruler. Did she really think that could have any training effect?
He had never heard of anything so absurd!
Now, not only had Zhu Zhuqing made no progress in cultivation, but her opponent was also a Power Attack System Soul Grandmaster. What was she going to use to win?
She was truly a little child who knew nothing!
Hmph! Just like that Jiang Qianhai, neither of them was any good. One humiliated me, and one humiliated my knowledge!
Let's see how you get through this match!
If you break an arm or a leg, don't blame me, Grandmaster. Blame yourself and that twisted Jiang Qianhai!
As for Jiang Qianhai's retaliation?
What did that have to do with him? Before he came, he had asked for Zhu Zhuqing's consent!
In that case, what reason would Jiang Qianhai still have to attack him?
On the stage.
Zhu Zhuqing's opponent, He Luo, stood a full eight chi tall, his body as broad as Zhao Wuji's. His muscle-covered body was also wearing some armor.
Just standing there, his whole figure looked ferocious.
When he saw Zhu Zhuqing, both his eyes nearly glowed red.
"Beauty, after the match, would you care to have dinner with me?"
He Luo flexed his arm and showed off his large muscles.
Then he revealed a smile he thought was very handsome.
Zhu Zhuqing had no intention of paying him any attention. She quietly assumed her stance and waited for the match to begin.
Being ignored by Zhu Zhuqing, He Luo instantly grew incomparably annoyed.
"Little girl! Are you deaf? If you don't want to break an arm or a leg, then agree to it! Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!"
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing still gave no response, He Luo smiled viciously.
"Fine! You asked for this!"
"Please release your Martial Souls, both Soul Grand Masters. The match will officially begin in ten seconds!"
"Attention! This soul battle is a one-on-one contest. Taking lives is forbidden!"
When the host said this, he glanced at He Luo, clearly carrying a hint of warning.
He Luo grinned and nodded casually. From the look of him, it was obvious he would not hold back.
The host could only look at Zhu Zhuqing with pity, then spread his wings and flew off the arena platform, hovering in the air, preparing to commentate on the battle from there.
"Armored Rhinoceros! Possession!"
"Hell Spirit Cat, possession."
The two quickly finished their preparations, and the countdown began.
"Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one, match start!"
"Little beauty! Here I come! Hahaha!"
He Luo charged straight at Zhu Zhuqing. His Martial Soul, Armored Rhinoceros, not only had outstanding defense, its offense was also quite formidable.
"First Soul Skill! Giant Strength Horn Strike!"
An enormous rhinoceros phantom enveloped him, its hard single horn rushing straight toward Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing narrowed her eyes at the sight. With a shift of her feet, she dodged He Luo's attack.
She might have looked unmoved just now, but in truth, she was already furious. Giving He Luo no chance for a second attack, she urged her Soul Power, and in the next instant vanished from where she stood.
Hell Stab + Exploding Step!
In the blink of an eye, she arrived at He Luo's side just as he steadied himself. Zhu Zhuqing bent her elbow and drove a vicious blow straight into He Luo's ribs.
Eight Extremities Collapse!
Eight sounds rang out in an instant. He Luo froze on the spot. Zhu Zhuqing used the momentum to spring away, while He Luo used every ounce of strength to try to turn his head and look at her. But the moment he moved, he spat out a great mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs.
With a thud, He Luo toppled face-down onto the ground.
The entire spectator area fell silent at once.
A moment later, a wave of cheers like mountains and seas suddenly erupted.
They were all cheering because the small Zhu Zhuqing had defeated the mountain-like He Luo with a single strike.
The weak overcoming the strong would always be the most exciting sight on this arena.
Seeing He Luo's miserable state, the host hurried down to check on him. When he found that He Luo was still alive, he immediately let out a breath of relief.
After that, he called the medical staff over to drag He Luo away.
"She is a Soul Grandmaster at only twelve years old! She defeated a Power Attack System Soul Battle Master, also a Soul Grandmaster, in a single blow! On her very first arrival, she has already stirred up a wave of revelry! She is today's victor, Soul Battle Master... Zhu Zhuqing!"
"┗|`O′|┛ Awooo~~" *N
Amid the audience's cheers, Zhu Zhuqing walked off the arena expressionlessly. In the stands, Ning Rongrong was cheering, Flender was watching, while Yu Xiaogang's expression was extremely ugly.
He had guessed what Zhu Zhuqing had used.
Self-Created Soul Skill!
She knew a Self-Created Soul Skill, yet had actually hidden it from him, a master!
Didn't she know he needed a complete understanding of his students' strength in order to arrange their training?
To be so scheming at such a young age—Zhu Zhuqing was simply unworthy of becoming his student!
He would not teach her even if she begged him!
He immediately got up and left.
Zhu Zhuqing's one-on-one match was already the last match for Shrek's students today. Once the soul battles ended, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing walked out of Soto Soul Arena together.
The instant Zhu Zhuqing came out, an old man buying something and the old woman haggling with him both had their eyes light up!
Only when they saw Ning Rongrong beside Zhu Zhuqing did the dim gleam in their eyes sink back down again.
