Xiao Xiao glanced at the Audience Stand. Seeing the Freshmen there cheering eagerly, she frowned.

"They're all waiting for us to lose so they can enjoy the show!"

As she said this, Xiao Xiao sounded somewhat indignant. "Three Rings against Two Rings—what is there to be proud of even if they win? Aren't we Freshmen too?"

"After fighting to this point, they stopped treating us as Freshmen long ago." Jiang Qingtong shook her head and spoke to the two of them.

What kind of Freshmen fought three against nine hundred?

In the distance, Xie Huanyue said to Dai Huabin, "Dai Huabin, Wang Dong doesn't have much Soul Power left. Although Xiao Xiao has Twin Martial Souls, activating both consumes even more Soul Power, so she won't last much longer. Let's attack together and knock all three of them off in one go!"

"No problem!" Dai Huabin nodded.

Ning Tian, standing behind them, said, "Just charge ahead. I have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

As she spoke, she deliberately—or perhaps casually—glanced toward Jiang Qingtong, as if telling her, Look, this is what happens when you don't choose the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Jiang Qingtong naturally noticed Ning Tian's expression and knew they intended to end it all in one decisive move.

Wang Dong clenched her fists and shook the wings of her Light Goddess Butterfly behind her. "I'll go all out. Find a way to take out Ning Tian. As long as her buffs are interrupted, we still have a chance!"

Hearing her words, Xiao Xiao frowned. "But even if we deal with Ning Tian, Xie Huanyue and Dai Huabin are both Three-Ring Soul Elders. Their strength cannot be underestimated! Without you, Qingtong and I might not be able to hold them off..."

"Then there's no other choice." Wang Dong shook her head and prepared to move.

But at that moment, Jiang Qingtong stopped her. "There's no need! It's not yet time to sacrifice you in exchange for victory!"

Wang Dong froze upon hearing Jiang Qingtong's words. Looking at her, she asked, "You still have a way?"

"Don't forget, I still have a secret weapon I haven't used!" Jiang Qingtong winked at Wang Dong.

Seeing Jiang Qingtong's smile, Wang Dong understood. "That's right! You still have your trump card! But do you need me to cooperate with you? I can still fight!"

Jiang Qingtong shook her head. "Rest in the back for a while. Leave those three to me."

"You're going to fight them alone?" As Jiang Qingtong walked forward, both Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were stunned.

Xiao Xiao said, "I'll help control them!"

Jiang Qingtong waved her hand. "I'll trouble you, then."

As Jiang Qingtong walked forward, Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier on the Rostrum both turned their gazes toward her. Cai Meier sighed. "Is she finally going to make her move? Her Mental-type Martial Soul alone won't be enough to deal with a combination like Ning Tian, Xie Huanyue, and Dai Huabin!"

"Mu En said her Second Martial Soul is a powerful attack-type Martial Soul. But even so, she is only a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster. Facing three opponents alone is not a wise choice."

Watching Jiang Qingtong stop Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao before advancing alone, Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly. He did not approve of her actions.

This battle was not one person's solo performance. In his view, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao had not lost their fighting ability, and it was far too unwise for Jiang Qingtong to face three Three-Ring Soul Elders by herself.

After walking forward a short distance, Jiang Qingtong stopped and gazed at the three before her.

Xie Huanyue and Dai Huabin had been preparing to charge in and finish off Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, but when they saw Jiang Qingtong step forward, they could not help but pause in surprise.

"What is she trying to do?"

"Is she planning to take on all three of us alone?"

"Hmph! She's overestimating herself. We're Three-Ring Soul Elders. She's just a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, yet she wants to fight the three of us alone?"

Ning Tian also looked at Jiang Qingtong with disdain and said to Xie Huanyue and Dai Huabin, "She's far too arrogant! With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda here, her mental interference is completely useless. What else does she think she can do?"

Jiang Qingtong looked at the three of them, and a faint smile slowly appeared on her lips.

Both Jiang Qingtong and Jiang Shengyu were at Soul Power Level twenty-nine, but they had chosen different paths of cultivation. Jiang Shengyu had chosen to first inject Soul Power into his Soul Rings, increasing the age of his existing Soul Rings.

Jiang Qingtong, on the other hand, had cultivated her own level normally.

Therefore, Jiang Shengyu's second Soul Ring had already reached the Ten Thousand Year Level, while Jiang Qingtong's was still at the Thousand-Year Soul Ring level.

However, her Soul Power had long since reached its limit. She had originally feared that Shrek Academy would discover her secret—that she could add Soul Rings without hunting Soul Beasts—so she had continuously suppressed her Soul Power and refused to break through.

Even during battle, she had tried her best to restrain herself, lest she lose control for a moment and break through her Soul Power Level.

But now that she had a Second Martial Soul, she no longer needed to worry about that.

She could simply pretend that her Second Martial Soul had three Soul Rings attached, making her a Three-Ring Soul Elder as well. She had merely been using her first Martial Soul, which only had two Soul Rings attached, all along.

"Since you all want to see my Second Martial Soul, then I'll let you see it!"

The smile on Jiang Qingtong's face grew wider. The Mirror Flower Martial Soul behind her instantly blossomed with searing flames, and a dazzling phoenix appeared behind her.

Then, the Soul Rings before Jiang Qingtong began to change.

Jiang Qingtong withdrew her Soul Rings, then released them again after breaking through her Soul Power Level. This made the withdrawal and release of her Soul Rings look much like switching Martial Souls.

A Soul Ring as black as ink appeared behind the first two purple Soul Rings. Two Thousand-Year Soul Rings and one Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring pulsed before her, while the light of the phoenix behind her shone upon Xie Huanyue and Dai Huabin.

The pressure belonging to the Ten Thousand Year Level gradually spread across the entire Arena.

Both of them felt a terrifying wave of heat rushing toward them.

"Twin Martial Souls! Twin Martial Souls again!"

After Jiang Qingtong revealed her Second Martial Soul, the Freshmen in the Audience Stand were utterly shocked. They had thought Xiao Xiao alone possessing Twin Martial Souls was already astonishing, but Jiang Qingtong had them too!

Moreover, she was a Three-Ring Soul Elder! A Three-Ring Soul Elder! Her third Soul Ring was even at the Ten Thousand Year Level!

The three facing Jiang Qingtong could barely conceal their stunned expressions.

A Three-Ring Soul Elder—she was actually a Three-Ring Soul Elder! After so many days of battle, she had never once revealed the power of her Three Rings. Terrifying. Her composure was terrifying!

On the Rostrum, Yan Shaozhe could no longer hide his astonishment. "Evil Fire Phoenix! Is that the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul? How is that possible... How could her Second Martial Soul be the Evil Fire Phoenix!"

"Could she be related to Xiaotao?" Cai Meier frowned and guessed.
