Xu Sanshi's Power-Up

When Xu Sanshi saw Chen Feng disappear, he immediately knew Chen Feng had used a teleportation skill.

Bei Bei had previously told Xu Sanshi about Chen Feng's first two Soul Skills, so Xu Sanshi had naturally guarded against a skill like teleportation.

At once, Xu Sanshi's first Soul Ring lit up.

With the support of his third Soul Skill, Power of the Profound Nether, the power of Xu Sanshi's first two Soul Skills increased greatly.

The black light on the Profound Nether Tortoise Shell Shield instantly intensified twofold. A powerful black halo spread from the shield, centered on Xu Sanshi and covering a radius of more than ten meters. Like a massive black vibrating ring, it surged outward, releasing rumbling vibrations as it spread.

This was the first Soul Skill of Xu Sanshi's Profound Nether Tortoise Shell Shield.

Profound Nether Shock. It was an area-of-effect knockback skill with a certain stunning effect. If an enemy's cultivation was weaker than his, they would be stunned while being knocked back. At the very least, they would be blasted away and forced to widen the distance.

At that moment, Chen Feng had just arrived beside Xu Sanshi, and the black light formed by Profound Nether Shock rushed toward him.

Chen Feng's lips curled upward, his gaze disdainful. No matter how powerful a hundred-year Soul Skill was, it was useless before true strength.

A sharp gleam flashed through Chen Feng's eyes as he poured his domineering, fierce Blade Intent into the Soul Breaking Blade in his hand.

Strengthened by Blade Intent and the ten-thousand-year first Soul Skill, Blade Sharpening.

Chen Feng's Soul Breaking Blade had now reached a level of power unimaginable for a Soul Elder.

Clang!!! The Soul Breaking Blade seemed to come alive, releasing a pleasant Blade Resonance.

"Break!!"

Chen Feng gripped the Soul Breaking Blade and slashed out with a tyrannical, savage stroke. Blade light descended from above, and a streak of black light spread outward. The Blade Glow was thin, expanding in a circular arc before him.

The black blade light swept across the black shockwave formed by Profound Nether Shock.

Silently, the Profound Nether Shock wave split into two and vanished.

Xu Sanshi stared dumbfoundedly as his Profound Nether Shock was effortlessly cleaved apart.

He could not help swallowing. It was the first time he had seen someone shatter his Profound Nether Shock in such an unrestrained, tyrannical manner.

Then, what truly shattered Xu Sanshi's worldview was Chen Feng slashing out three times in succession.

Enhanced basic attack ×3

Three arcs of blade light formed a triangular formation around Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi's worldview shattered. Th-this powerful an attack can be unleashed consecutively? Is there any justice in this world?

The three arcs of blade light flew swiftly toward Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi's second Soul Ring lit up.

The second Soul Skill of Xu Sanshi's Profound Nether Tortoise Shell Shield Martial Soul, Profound Nether Shield Array.

The Profound Nether Tortoise Shell Shield in Xu Sanshi's hand seemed to shatter abruptly, turning into countless palm-sized shields that scattered at high speed.

They intercepted layer by layer, every shield accurately meeting one blade light slashing toward Xu Sanshi. Xu Sanshi wanted to use this method to block Chen Feng's blade light.

But were Chen Feng's blade lights so easy to block?

The terrifying blade light was unstoppable. It directly and effortlessly crushed the Profound Nether Shield Array, Xu Sanshi's second Soul Skill that had been strengthened by the third Soul Skill, Power of the Profound Nether.

Then, three streaks of blade light shot straight at Xu Sanshi.

Looking at the three blade lights rushing toward him, Xu Sanshi despaired.

Too strong... Any method could be broken with a single slash!

He had gone all out and used every means at his disposal, yet Chen Feng had merely swung his blade a few times and tyrannically shattered everything Xu Sanshi had.

Am I going to lose? Xu Sanshi looked at the referee Teacher, who was already preparing to rescue him.

Seeing Chen Feng's disdainful gaze, intense unwillingness surged within Xu Sanshi.

The world's greatest defensive Beast Martial Soul absolutely could not be effortlessly defeated by someone three years younger than him...

"Ah!"

At that moment, the shackles on Xu Sanshi's body shattered... A powerful aura, heavy as a mountain and unbreakable as solid rock, erupted from him.

In that instant, Xu Sanshi's eyes became solemn and steady, filled with unrivaled arrogance.

The Profound Nether Tortoise Shell Shield that had been blown apart suddenly returned to Xu Sanshi's hand.

The Profound Nether Tortoise Shell Shield in Xu Sanshi's hand instantly bloomed with deep, distorted, viscous dark-green light.

The oily green light on the shield's surface twisted, as though some living creature were writhing within it. Then, the shield's entire surface changed.

Within the heavy tortoise shell, a dark-green snake suddenly appeared. Its eyes were scarlet, and with the appearance of the green snake—

A dark-green Profound Nether Shock barrier appeared. Violent roars burst within its range like a massive explosion. The blade lights that had already broken through Xu Sanshi's defenses were heavily swallowed.

The Profound Nether Tortoise Shell Shield had evolved into the Black Tortoise Shield, the strongest defensive Martial Soul in the world.

Though not Ultimate, it surpassed Ultimate—the Black Tortoise Shield with the Divine Beast bloodline.

Xu Sanshi's Martial Soul had previously been in a self-sealed state. Without sufficiently powerful stimulation, even he himself could not break through the seal.

Now, under Chen Feng's pressure, Xu Sanshi had finally succeeded in lifting the seal.

In his Black Tortoise Awakening state, every one of his Soul Skills would carry a Divine Beast Imprint.

Not only would his Soul Skills transform, but his own strength would instantly rise by an entire level.

Moreover, after awakening, Xu Sanshi could use the incomparably powerful innate skills of the Black Tortoise Shield Martial Soul.

Feeling the surging power inside him, Xu Sanshi suddenly felt invincible among those of the same rank.

Chen Feng, who had just driven him to despair? Hmph, watch me teach him a lesson.

Xu Sanshi wore an arrogant expression as he slowly, somewhat wistfully, said to Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, being able to force out my Black Tortoise Shield means that even if you lose, you will have lost with honor."

As Xu Sanshi's words fell, he threw his head back and roared. The green light from the Profound Nether Shield in his hand blazed brilliantly.

Immediately afterward, the oily green light flowed from the Black Tortoise Shield onto Xu Sanshi's body.

Empowered by the feedback of the Divine Beast Black Tortoise Bloodline, Xu Sanshi's body expanded several more sizes, and his school uniform burst apart under his solid muscles.

Green light spread from Xu Sanshi in every direction, and the air in the Soul Battle Arena instantly became viscous.

The purple light of Xu Sanshi's third Soul Ring shone brightly. His third Soul Skill, Power of the Profound Nether, was amplified by the Black Tortoise Bloodline, nearly more than doubling Xu Sanshi's strength for a short time.

And in this state, Power of the Profound Nether did more than merely enhance him. It also affected a huge area around him.

That thick sensation, like being submerged in rippling water, came from the Power of the Profound Nether instantly gathering an immense amount of water element. This was practically the embryonic form of a domain.

Within this embryonic water domain, enemies' movements would be restricted, while Xu Sanshi would move like a fish in water.

The entire Soul Battle Arena had changed drastically. Xu Sanshi, who had just been on the verge of defeat, had undergone a complete reversal.

More than a thousand spectators in the stands stared dumbfoundedly at Xu Sanshi in the Soul Battle Arena. "Th-this... what is that?"

"What a powerful feeling... Is this the true strength of Xu Sanshi, one of the Twin Stars of Shrek Outer Court?"

"This is Martial Soul Evolution!! My god, his Martial Soul evolved!!"

Bei Bei, seated in the stands, instantly became extremely excited as he watched Xu Sanshi.

Bei Bei looked at Chen Feng and thought, Chen Feng, let's see how you deal with Xu Sanshi now that he has broken the seal and awakened his Martial Soul!

A senior Shrek student cried out excitedly, "Wonderful! Xu Sanshi, you have to keep it up! I bet five hundred Gold Soul Coins on you. You absolutely cannot lose! Wuwuwu, if you lose, I'll be living on air for the entire week."

Compared to those who had bet on Xu Sanshi and were wildly excited.

Those who had bet on Chen Feng were instantly nervous.

"Damn it, how can he suddenly power up like that?!"

"He was about to win. How did Xu Sanshi suddenly erupt?"

In the stands, countless Shrek students watched the unrivaled Xu Sanshi in the Soul Battle Arena. Whether they supported him or not, they were all shocked by his terrifying strength.

Xu Sanshi's aura was now so powerful that he likely did not fall far short of a Soul King.

The girls who had been drawn in by Chen Feng's handsome appearance began worrying for him.

In the stands not far from the Soul Battle Arena, Ling Luochen nervously watched the handsome figure below and could not help worrying. "That turtle bastard looks so strong. Chen Feng will be okay, right?"

At the same time, many other girls were worried for Chen Feng as well...

Just as countless people in the stands believed Chen Feng was about to be defeated by Xu Sanshi.

Chen Feng smiled.

When fighting people his own age, he had to hold back, afraid that using too much force would seriously injure them.

It was not easy to find someone with whom he could fight somewhat seriously.

Xu Sanshi saw Chen Feng smiling? The battle fervor and delight in Chen Feng's eyes immediately poured a bucket of cold water over Xu Sanshi's excitement and joy at awakening the Black Tortoise Shield.

Xu Sanshi became cautious...

Chen Feng said, "Xu Sanshi, in that case, I'll get a little more serious too."

At that moment, ultimate coldness spilled from Chen Feng's body.

In an instant, the Soul Battle Arena, once filled with watery mist, became a world of ice crystals.

The water around Xu Sanshi instantly turned into ice crystals beneath that ultimate cold, like an ancient glacier.

Xu Sanshi, who had just been incomparably arrogant, was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Chen Feng held the Soul Breaking Blade, but the Martial Soul he was using was the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

The Soul Breaking Blade was controlled by Chen Feng's spirit. Within Chen Feng's Sea of Spirit, his soul gripped the Soul Breaking Blade.

With a thought from Chen Feng, the Soul Breaking Blade was everywhere.

After obtaining the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion as his second Martial Soul, Chen Feng discovered that the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul enhanced his body far more than the Soul Breaking Blade.

Now, Chen Feng used the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul with his body and wielded the Soul Breaking Blade Martial Soul with his spirit.

This was Chen Feng's strongest form.

Ice crystals spread over Chen Feng's body. In an instant, a suit of Ultimate Ice armor covered him.

"Bang!" Xu Sanshi broke free from the ice crystals, shivered, and looked at Chen Feng with a grave expression.

Chen Feng said calmly, "The second round begins! I hope you can last a few more moves."
