Do You Want to Dance Too?

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

The wind stopped.

On the training field, everyone stopped breathing.

Their eyes were wide, their mouths open wide enough to fit an egg.

Only one thought remained in their minds.

What had happened?

That level thirty-seven Soul Elder, that Evil-Eyed White Tiger who had been so arrogant just moments ago and had taken down a Soul Grandmaster in one move.

Why had he knelt?

And before a six-year-old little girl, no less!

No one had seen Lin Xi make a move.

She had merely stood there.

Quietly standing there.

And Dai Mubai had knelt.

He had knelt so decisively, so completely.

Dai Mubai himself was dumbfounded.

His body would not obey him.

His soul was trembling.

He wanted to stand, but his knees seemed to be pinned beneath two invisible mountains, utterly unable to move!

He raised his head and stared at Lin Xi in terror.

How was she still some delicate, doll-like little girl?

She was clearly a deity who had stepped out of ancient myth, one who held life and death in her hands!

For the first time, all light vanished from his sinister double pupils.

Only endless fear remained.

"What... what... did you... do to me?"

His voice was hoarse and dry, filled with incomprehensible terror.

Lin Xi did not answer him.

She merely looked down at him.

Her gaze remained indifferent.

As though she were looking at a stone by the roadside.

"Do you still want me to get lost now?"

Her voice was soft.

Yet it struck Dai Mubai's heart like a heavy hammer.

Dai Mubai's face instantly flushed the color of liver.

Humiliation!

Unprecedented humiliation!

He was a prince of the Star Luo Empire, the future White Tiger Douluo.

Yet a six-year-old little girl had forced him to kneel in public by means he could not comprehend at all!

"I'll... kill you!"

He roared and desperately mobilized the Soul Power within his body.

He wanted to stand!

He wanted to tear apart this little girl who had subjected him to such utter humiliation!

Yet the more he struggled, the heavier that invisible force pressing deep into his soul became!

Crack!

His kneecaps let out a groan under the unbearable strain.

"Ah!!!"

Dai Mubai let out a muffled cry of pain.

He felt as though his knees were about to shatter!

"Don't move."

Lin Xi's voice rang out again.

"Move again, and your legs will be ruined."

There was no threat or intimidation in her voice.

Only a statement.

As though she were speaking of something utterly trivial.

Dai Mubai froze.

He did not dare move again.

Because he could sense that she was not joking.

If he so much as dared to entertain the slightest thought of resistance again.

His legs truly would be crippled!

Tang San and Xiao Wu stood behind them, watching this scene as stormy waves surged in their hearts.

They knew Lin Xi was strong.

But they had never imagined Lin Xi had already become this strong!

Without making a move, without even releasing her Martial Soul or Soul Rings.

With just one look.

She had made a level thirty-seven Soul Elder kneel and beg for mercy!

What kind of power was this?

"Lin Xi... she..."

Tang San muttered.

He felt that the gap between himself and Lin Xi had not narrowed after he obtained a Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Instead, it had been pulled even wider.

So wide that it left him somewhat despairing.

Just then.

A booming voice, like thunder exploding, rang out from deep within the academy.

"What's going on?!"

"Who dares cause trouble in my Shrek Academy?!"

Before the words had faded.

A burly figure, like an iron tower, charged out from the enormous wooden building.

The man stood over two and a half meters tall, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, with muscles bulging like granite all over his body.

His short hair stood upright strand by strand, and his face full of bristly beard made him look like a humanoid violent bear.

The Immovable Ming King, Zhao Wuji!

At a glance, he spotted Dai Mubai kneeling on the ground.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

"Mubai?!"

He strode over, a violent aura beginning to spread from his body.

"Who did this?!"

His gaze swept across the field before finally settling on Lin Xi.

He frowned.

A little girl?

Dai Mubai had been beaten to his knees by this little girl?

What kind of joke was that!

"Teacher... Teacher Zhao..."

Seeing Zhao Wuji was like seeing a savior for Dai Mubai, and an expression of utter shame and indignation appeared on his face.

"Quick... save me!"

Zhao Wuji did not attack immediately.

Having lived so many years, he was no fool.

For someone to make Dai Mubai kneel without the slightest ability to resist.

This little girl before him was definitely not simple.

"Little girl."

Zhao Wuji looked at Lin Xi and asked in a deep voice.

"Were you the one who hurt him?"

"Hurt?"

Lin Xi tilted her head.

"Isn't he still unhurt?"

Zhao Wuji choked.

Indeed, aside from kneeling on the ground and looking somewhat miserable, Dai Mubai did not have a single wound on him.

"Then why did you make him kneel?" Zhao Wuji's tone turned hostile.

"He wanted to kneel himself," Lin Xi said calmly.

"I merely fulfilled his wish."

"..."

Zhao Wuji was completely speechless.

This little girl was impossible to reason with!

"No matter what, in Shrek Academy, you follow Shrek's rules!"

Zhao Wuji's expression darkened.

"Little girl, release him now."

"Then accept my test."

"If you can last one incense stick's worth of time against me, I'll pretend none of this happened today."

"Otherwise, the three of you can forget about walking out of these gates today!"

As he spoke, Soul Rings began appearing around him one after another!

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

Seven Soul Rings!

And the last one was a ten-thousand-year black Soul Ring!

A seven-ring Soul Sage!

Moreover, a Soul Sage with the optimal Soul Ring configuration!

Terrifying pressure swept over the entire training field like a tangible tsunami!

The youths who had come to register were sent staggering by that pressure, their faces pale.

Even Tang San felt his breathing stall, as though a mountain were pressing down on his chest.

Only Lin Xi.

Remained calm and unruffled.

The pressure that could crush a Soul King felt to her like nothing more than a gentle spring breeze.

She lifted her eyes and glanced at the seven gleaming Soul Rings around Zhao Wuji.

A trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes.

"That's it?"

She softly spoke two words.

Zhao Wuji froze.

He suspected that something was wrong with his ears again.

That's it?

He was the mighty level seventy-six battle Soul Sage, the Immovable Ming King Zhao Wuji!

A powerful existence whose name shook the continent!

Yet from this little girl, all he got was, "That's it?"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhao Wuji laughed in fury.

"It has been many years since anyone dared speak to me like that!"

"Little girl, today I'll teach you what it means to know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

His seventh Soul Ring suddenly lit up!

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

He let out a roar!

His body began expanding wildly in an instant!

Black fur burst forth from beneath his skin!

His figure shot up beyond three meters tall!

In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a burly man into a true Great Strength Vajra Bear that towered into the sky!

Violent!

Fierce and savage!

Filled with the power to destroy heaven and earth!

This was the Martial Soul Avatar of a Soul Sage!

"Come on, little girl!"

Zhao Wuji roared in a deep, booming voice.

"Let me see what you're really capable of!"

His massive bear paw came crashing down toward Lin Xi's head!

That bear paw was enough to shatter boulders!

Faced with this world-destroying strike,

Lin Xi finally moved.

She raised her right hand.

Then she snapped her fingers.

Snap.

A crisp sound rang out.

At the very instant before the massive bear paw was about to fall upon her head,

a red and a black halo slowly rose from beneath her feet.

Two dazzling, uncanny Soul Rings!

The instant the Soul Rings appeared,

the entire world turned blood-red and black.

Zhao Wuji's world-destroying bear paw stopped in midair.

His enormous bear face was filled with indescribable horror!

He felt that his Martial Soul Avatar, which he had always taken pride in, was

as insignificant before those red and black halos as a chick awaiting slaughter!

At that moment, his violent Soul Power as a Battle Soul Sage was firmly suppressed within his body by an irresistible, sacred yet terrifying force!

He could not move!

"Do you... want to dance too?"

Lin Xi raised her head and looked at the enormous bear paw suspended above her.

Her voice remained as cold

and indifferent as ever.
