Blue Tyrant Academy

At that moment, three Old Men stood on the stage. They were all teachers from Blue Tyrant Academy, here today to test Flender and the others.

"Who will go first?"

Flender smiled faintly. "Qin Ming, you go first."

Qin Ming nodded and stepped forward. His aura suddenly erupted, and while the others had been chatting, he directly released his Martial Soul.

In an instant, the air throughout the hall became exceptionally heavy. The three Old Men's expressions clearly changed in shock at the sight.

All three were Soul Kings. Facing the pressure released by a Soul Emperor, their hearts trembled.

At the same time, blazing flames suddenly ignited around Qin Ming. With a low roar, six soul rings appeared.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black!

The moment they saw the six soul rings appear, the three Old Men gasped.

Although Qin Ming's soul rings were not the optimal configuration, they were still thoroughly shocked.

"Qin Ming, Level 62 Power Attack System Battle Soul Emperor. Martial Soul: Blazing Fire Wolf!"

The three Old Men exchanged glances and could not help asking, "May I ask how old you are?"

"Thirty-four."

Upon hearing that, shock filled the Old Men's faces. Reaching the Soul Emperor realm at thirty-four was truly inconceivable.

"Um... the academy has a rule. Soul Masters above Level 60 are exempt from testing."

Zhao Wuji burst into laughter and turned to Flender.

"Boss, then what about us?"

Flender adjusted his glasses, and his body trembled as seven soul rings suddenly appeared.

"Level 78 Agility Attack Battle Soul Saint, Flender. Martial Soul: Four-Eyed Cat Owl."

"Zhao Wuji, Level 76 Power Attack Battle Soul Saint. Martial Soul: Vajra Bear."

When all the teachers released their Martial Souls, the entire hall became oppressively heavy.

The three Old Men swallowed hard, their eyes wide. Having worked with Soul Masters for many years, it was their first time seeing such terrifying figures.

Just as they were about to announce the end of the test, Liu Yi stepped forward.

The leading Old Man frowned slightly as he looked at Liu Yi. "Little brother, students do not need to be tested."

Everyone from Shrek burst into laughter upon hearing that. They had actually mistaken Liu Yi for a student. That was truly ridiculous.

Liu Yi smiled faintly. His aura poured forth like the sea, while visible Soul Power swept outward in waves.

With a thunderous boom, the incomparably violent aura sent the three Old Men flying. They spun twice through the air before landing on the ground, no weaker than Zhao Wuji or Flender.

"This aura... how is that possible?!"

As they stood stunned, something even more unexpected happened. Soul rings appeared one after another beneath Liu Yi's feet.

Yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black!

Four black rings. Other than Flender and Zhao Wuji, everyone present was dumbfounded. As teachers of Shrek Academy, Liu Yi had never released his soul rings before others. Even Grandmaster was too shocked to speak.

Back at Soto Great Soul Arena, when the Shrek Seven Devils fought others, the only people who had seen Liu Yi's soul rings were the audience, Flender, and Zhao Wuji.

"Liu Yi, Level 66 Power Attack System Battle Soul Emperor. Martial Soul: Seven Kill Sword!"

The instant the Seven Kill Sword appeared in his right palm, the air throughout the hall turned abnormally cold, as though a god of slaughter had descended.

The violent killing intent became almost tangible, tightly enveloping the three Old Men. The frigid murderous aura made their bodies shake violently.

Though he was a Soul Emperor, he was no weaker than Level 78 Agility Attack Battle Soul Saint Flender.

The three Old Men could no longer contain their shock and shouted, "Level 66?! How old are you?"

In their eyes, Liu Yi could not have been more than twenty. How could he possibly have reached the Soul Emperor realm?

"Eighteen."

Those two words sent the Old Men's expressions into utter exaggeration. They had thought Qin Ming was a genius among geniuses, yet there was actually a young man even more gifted than him.

Liu Yi could no longer be measured by the word genius. He was an unparalleled genius.

Rare in this world!

"Is that enough?" Flender smiled at the stunned trio.

"Ah, enough, enough, of course. Seniors, please withdraw your Martial Souls."

Every teacher present was far higher in level than they were, and even their own Martial Souls trembled beneath those auras.

The leading Old Man took a deep breath, his gaze remaining fixed on Liu Yi.

"I am Yin Shu, a teacher of Blue Tyrant Academy, a Level 54 Power Attack Battle Soul King. Your strengths have surpassed ours, Seniors. We are unable to evaluate you. I will take you to see the headmaster."

Flender smiled faintly. The frustration he had suffered at Heaven Dou Royal Academy had been completely redeemed here, and his mood improved greatly.

Led by Yin Shu, the group left the academy and arrived at a tranquil forest.

Flender asked curiously, "Is your headmaster not in the academy?"

Yin Shu shook his head. "The headmaster rarely stays at the academy. She prefers quiet places and lives alone in the forest."

Liu Yi looked into the distance. With his Spiritual Power, he had long since discovered the woman ahead.

At the same time, a gentle, melodious song drifted out from the forest.

Everyone stopped and listened carefully to the meaning behind the lyrics.

At that moment, Grandmaster was already in tears, while Flender's expression changed drastically. How could the two of them not recognize this song? Grandmaster himself had written those lyrics.

"Xiao Gang..."

Grandmaster clenched his fists and turned to leave, but before he could go, Flender grabbed his arm.

"Xiao Gang, at a time like this, how long do you intend to keep running away?"

Yin Shu was also stunned. Why had they suddenly started crying?

After walking several hundred more meters, everyone stopped again. The scenery ahead left them unable to take another step.

About ten meters ahead stood a wooden house, surrounded by a fence. Inside the fence grew all kinds of flowers, colorful and beautiful.

In the garden stood a woman holding a watering can. She hummed softly as she watered the flowers.

Hearing the footsteps, she instinctively looked toward the group in the distance. When she saw so many people entering her territory, perhaps annoyed at being disturbed, she visibly frowned.

Just as she was about to fly into a rage, her gaze fell upon Grandmaster behind Liu Yi. The instant she saw him, the watering can slipped from her hand and hit the ground with a bang.

Liu Yi narrowed his eyes. She was a beautiful woman in her thirties, dressed in a simple green cloth skirt.
