Segmented Devastation!

Footwork, footwork...

Zhao Wuji narrowly avoided the sweeping slash, his face slightly pale.

This kid was not only a liar, but he was also damn ruthless!

If not the head, then the waist...

If you were holding any other Weapon Martial Soul, let's see whether this Immovable Bright King would move or not!

"Third Soul Skill: Gravity Enhancement!"

Zhao Wuji did not dare let his guard down in the slightest, immediately using his strongest gravity from the start! He refused to believe it still could not restrict Kong's movements!

Kong had missed his sweeping strike and was about to follow up with a stepping upward slash, but the sudden gravity interrupted his chain of attacks.

"Kid, under my gravity..."

Before Zhao Wuji could finish speaking, he saw that Kong, gripping Engulfing Lightning, seemed utterly unaffected. He froze.

That should not have happened. Had he adapted to his strongest gravity so quickly?

Even an ordinary Soul Saint could not possibly adapt that fast, could they?

"This level of gravity is still within my tolerance."

Kong spoke expressionlessly.

Since Zhao Wuji had already used two Soul Skills, it would be somewhat disrespectful to his senior if he did not return the favor!

"First Soul Skill: Segmented Devastation!"

Kong's first Soul Ring lit up. This Soul Ring came from a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. When the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's innate talent fused with Engulfing Lightning, it happened to inherit the bear's most terrifying attack—Sky-Rending Claw!

However, Engulfing Lightning was a Weapon Martial Soul. Furthermore, after the first Soul Ring was absorbed and altered by lightning Elemental Power, it evolved into Segmented Devastation!

Segmented Devastation: It could unleash a segment of "Sword Qi," ignoring 50 percent of defense. The power of the Sword Qi depended on the Soul Power consumed. It began as one segment of Sword Qi, and for every ten levels of Soul Power gained, one additional segment could be unleashed.

In Inazuma, blades and swords were not distinguished from one another. Blade Qi was Sword Qi; likewise, Sword Qi was also...

The starting point was Level 10, rather than Kong's Innate Level 20. With his current Level 62 Soul Power, he could unleash at most six streams of Sword Qi at once.

A full six violet streams of Sword Qi, like lightning, slashed toward Zhao Wuji!

Zhao Wuji's scalp went numb at the sight! Those Sword Qis made him feel the threat of death!

Was a First Soul Skill really supposed to be this terrifying?

"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!!"

Without daring to hesitate at all, Zhao Wuji immediately unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar!

His Seventh Soul Ring flashed, and Zhao Wuji "vanished." In his place stood an extraordinarily terrifying earth-yellow giant bear!

The next instant.

"Pfft..."

The giant bear's eyes were filled with disbelief. Even with the dual enhancement of his Martial Soul Avatar and Immovable Bright King Body, he had still been injured!

This was only a Soul Emperor's First Soul Skill!

Could it be that his Soul Ring order was wrong as well? This was not his First Soul Skill, but his Sixth Soul Skill?

Kong: "..."

Fortunately, Kong did not know what Zhao Wuji was thinking. He was rather surprised himself at why Zhao Wuji looked as though he had suffered grave injuries.

Zhao Wuji: "..."

He was originally a Power Attack Type Soul Master who also specialized in defense, yet this Soul Skill was simply unreasonable. It could ignore defense, so it could only be dodged. Taking it head-on would definitely result in injury!

Unless the gap in cultivation was truly enormous.

Zhao Wuji spat out a mouthful of old blood. With his severe injuries, he could no longer maintain his Martial Soul Avatar and reverted to human form.

"Kid, impressive... impressive! I lost..."

Zhao Wuji said with some difficulty.

Although he had been careless, he was not a speed-type Soul Master. He could evade the opponent's attacks once or twice, but the trait of ignoring most defenses countered him far too severely!

With such serious injuries, there was nothing he could do but admit defeat.

Hearing this, Kong nodded without showing any emotion, silently thinking, Have I already become this strong?

That shouldn't be right!

After all, when sparring with Wife-sama, the Raiden Shogun, all he did was get beaten up. He had nearly been beaten until he lost all confidence.

Who would have thought that an established Soul Saint powerhouse like Zhao Wuji would be so weak...

At that moment, Flender and the others also approached from afar. They had been watching from over there earlier.

They simply had not come over.

After all, the "special effects" when Kong unleashed his Martial Soul had truly forced them to come take a look.

This young man was rather intimidating!

At such a young age, he had already reached the Soul Emperor level!

Everyone silently thought.

They cautiously approached Zhao Wuji, their eyes fixed on Kong, afraid that this young man would unleash another Soul Skill at the slightest disagreement.

Whose First Soul Skill was this terrifying?!

Kong directly withdrew Engulfing Lightning and retreated to Dugu Yan's side.

Flender and the others' wary gazes made him want to laugh. Fortunately, he held it in and did not laugh aloud.

"Kong, you're far too amazing!"

Dugu Yan's eyes sparkled as she looked at Kong with even greater fervor.

She knew Kong should not be weak, but she had never expected him to be this strong!

Level 62, and one Soul Skill had instantly defeated a Level 76 Soul Saint powerhouse.

Not even stage plays or novels would dare write something like that!

Kong shook his head. He still had a vast gap between himself and true powerhouses. First, he would set a small goal: suppress Wife-sama, the Raiden Shogun!

"Luck. It was just luck."

"Kong, you defeated a Soul Saint as a Soul Emperor and you're still so humble. You're simply perfect!"

Dugu Yan said excitedly.

They said beauty was in the eye of the beholder. In her eyes, Kong was a flawless, powerful, good man!

Everyone: "..."

Was this really humility?

Luck? Perhaps!

"Old Zhao, what happened?"

"Are you all right?"

Flender supported Zhao Wuji and asked.

"We just sparred. I-I merely lost..."

"Do I... look like I'm all right...?"

Zhao Wuji rolled his eyes and spoke with difficulty.

With these injuries, he feared it would take at least ten days to half a month to recover.

What Zhao Wuji did not know was that because he had been seriously injured, he had escaped a beating from a Titled Douluo tonight.

Come to think of it, he ought to thank Kong!

"Shao Xin!"

"Mm!"

With a food-type Soul Saint like Shao Xin present, Zhao Wuji's injuries could heal a little faster.

Kong led Dugu Yan over at this moment. Cupping his hands, he said, "Having visited Shrek Academy today, I have gained many insights. My thanks to Teacher Li and Vice Dean Zhao."

"It is getting late, so we shall not remain any longer. Farewell!"

Flender had recognized Kong earlier. This child had bought a broken crystal from his general store yesterday, and he had always believed he had taken a loss, unable to let it go.

He had never expected the other party to be an unparalleled prodigy...

Without waiting for Li Yusong and Zhao Wuji to reply, Kong led Dugu Yan back along the road they had come from.

"Th-they weren't specially recruited?"

Zhao Wuji asked doubtfully.

Li Yusong gave Zhao Wuji a strange look and shook his head.

"They merely wanted to see our academy's assessment content..."

"Then, then this beating I took... was for noth..."
