"Referee, I demand justice!"

"This was clearly attempted murder!"

Luo Li, seated high above and looking down below, could not help but laugh when he heard Flender's hoarse, desperate voice.

Why did those words sound so familiar?

He had never expected the words Tang San had said to the Heaven Dou Second Team's lead teacher in the original story to be spoken by Flender now.

He found it strangely comical.

Then Qian Renxue's icy remark nearly made Luo Li lose control of his expression.

"Is he dead?"

It was complete!

The smile at the corners of Luo Li's lips was impossible to suppress.

In truth, Qian Renxue had already shown restraint for Luo Li's sake.

This was the Great Soul Arena. In a sense, it was Luo Li's territory, and Qian Renxue did not wish to create needless bloodshed here.

Though Luo Li and the Great Soul Arena did not really care about that.

Otherwise, with the strength of Qian Renxue's Six-winged Angel martial soul at the Soul Emperor level, even a single sword edge would have been enough to easily take the life of Ma Hongjun, a Soul Master barely above level twenty.

As for going easy on him...

How could Qian Renxue, who had spent so many years pulling off The Civet Cat for the Crown Prince within the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and had nearly slaughtered every prince other than Xue Beng, possibly be a softhearted person?

Naturally, the Great Soul Arena paid no heed to Flender's accusation.

Not only did they know that the Imperial Dou Team was connected to Luo Li, who sat on the high platform, but even without that, Qian Renxue's actions had not violated any Great Soul Arena rules.

The Great Soul Arena was no academy competition.

Here, even outside the deathmatch arenas, the chances of death were still far from low.

Both sides fought for absolute victory, and no one held back.

In a true battle, casualties were nothing unusual.

Besides, Ma Hongjun was merely at death's door. He was not dead.

From every perspective, the Great Soul Arena had no reason to entertain Flender's accusation.

"Qian Xue's selection complied fully with the competition regulations."

A cold voice came from the person in charge of the Great Soul Arena.

Flender raised his head, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

He actually understood the Great Soul Arena's rules. He also knew that while Qian Renxue had struck a little too heavily, there was nothing truly wrong with what she had done.

He had merely blurted it out in grief upon seeing Ma Hongjun, whom he regarded as his own son, in such a miserable state.

Although the person in charge of the Austera Great Soul Arena was only a Soul Emperor and weaker than himself, he stood behind the entire Great Soul Arena.

And behind it stood the Seven Great Soul Master Families of today.

Flender did not have the courage to deliberately stir up trouble and offend the entire Great Soul Arena along with the powers behind it.

Shrek Academy's school motto:

Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocrities.

But that motto had a prerequisite.

The person causing trouble had to be someone they could afford to provoke.

Otherwise, there was the second school motto:

Take a step back, and the sea and sky will stretch wide before you.

A wise man submitted to circumstances.

Thus, Flender silently closed his mouth and merely called over Shao Xin, the Food System Spirit Saint, to treat Ma Hongjun, who was barely clinging to life.

On the Soul Fighting Platform, everyone watched the scene in astonishment, taking it all in.

That clean, decisive victory, without the slightest hesitation or wasted movement, left every one of them inwardly amazed.

"So this is a Soul Emperor..."

Yu Tianheng felt his throat grow dry.

Dugu Yan had always harbored hostility toward the abruptly appearing and clearly suspicious Qian Renxue. Before taking the stage, when she saw Qian Renxue volunteer, she had felt a desire to compare herself against her.

But now, she had completely lost any such thought.

There was no other reason. The gap was simply too great.

It was not as though they had never seen a Soul Emperor before.

The Imperial Dou Team's former supervising teacher, Qin Ming, had been a genuine Soul Emperor.

But the feeling this Soul Emperor, Qian Renxue, gave them was completely different.

Tang San's expression darkened.

He had originally thought Ma Hongjun would at least be able to probe this blonde female Soul Emperor's abilities, but he had never expected that useless Ma Hongjun to be defeated so easily.

Other than that sword radiance brimming with light and holiness, he had seen nothing else.

And...

The pressure this blonde female Soul Emperor gave him was actually even greater than that of Teacher Zhao, a Soul Saint!

How was that possible?!

Tang San had once thought it was merely an illusion.

But in truth, this was perfectly normal.

Although Qian Renxue was indeed only a Soul Emperor, the God-tier Martial Soul, the Six-winged Angel, granted her the terrifying ability to fight above her rank.

In terms of combat strength alone, Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, truly was no match for Qian Renxue.

Under the many gazes filled with varying emotions, Qian Renxue slowly lowered her raised Holy Sword.

She let out a soft breath of turbid air, and her red lips curved into a satisfied smile.

After giving that disgusting fatty a slash, her mood had improved considerably.

At the same time, Qian Renxue felt somewhat puzzled.

From the current situation, these so-called Shrek Seven Devils seemed to be nothing special.

Why had Luo Li, for the first time ever, reminded the Imperial Dou Team to be a little careful?

Qian Renxue did not believe Luo Li had suddenly acted on a whim. There had to be a reason for it.

Her golden eyes slowly swept over the remaining six members of Shrek, who had already begun to consider retreating.

In that case, she would examine them one by one and see what was so unusual about these people!

Holy Sword raised, Qian Renxue moved swiftly.

Yu Tianheng and the others exchanged glances.

It seemed...

Perhaps...

There was nothing for them to do anymore...

As though they had encountered a boss, the remaining six Shrek members did not dare hold back in the slightest upon seeing Qian Renxue approaching with her Holy Sword.

But before an absolute gap in strength, everything was futile.

The Holy Sword trailed radiant sword light as it carved arc after arc through the air.

Like dumplings being dropped into a pot, every swing of Qian Renxue's sword sent another person flying away.

Bright red blood arced through the sky in magnificent parabolas.

"Why is this Soul Emperor even more terrifying than Teacher Zhao?!" Xiao Wu complained.

Relying on her teleportation skill, she was the only one who had dodged Qian Renxue's sword.

However, before her words had even faded, Qian Renxue's next sword radiance was already before her.

"Xiao Wu!"

Tang San's eyes nearly split apart at the sight.

In his heart, Xiao Wu was not someone Ma Hongjun could compare to.

He wanted to use Blue Silver Grass to pull Xiao Wu out of the sword radiance's range, but it was already too late.

The sword radiance, containing terrifying Soul Power, landed on Xiao Wu.

Just like Dai Mubai and the others before her, her body was sent flying back without any ability to resist.

Blood streamed from the savage wound.

"Xiao Wu!"

Seeing Xiao Wu in such a miserable state, Tang San was overwhelmed with grief.

His eyes were bloodshot, his breathing heavy as a bull's, and the gaze he directed at Qian Renxue, who held the Holy Sword, was filled with icy killing intent.

Oh, he'd gone red-hot.

On the high platform, Luo Li watched the show without fear of making things worse.

After Tang Buddha's "good little sister" suffered the kind of injury that was perfectly normal in a standard spirit battle, he had classically lost fifty percent of his reason.

Luo Li liked to call this going berserk.

Was this guy having a mad cow disease episode?

Seeing Tang San's bloodshot eyes and bizarre expression, Qian Renxue felt puzzled.

But she did not dwell on it. Raising her Holy Sword, she unleashed another streak of sword radiance.

Only this guy remained.

Mad cow disease or not, one slash would defeat him.
