Seeing the provocation from the two across from him, Shen He showed no weakness either. His Ancient Sacred Body Martial Soul immediately unleashed its full power, and Golden Blood Qi surged from his body like a vast ocean before transforming into a dragon that soared into the sky.
The yellow, yellow, black three Soul Rings circling Shen He shocked the two even more.
"His third Soul Ring is actually ten thousand years old! Looks like this kid does have some confidence."
"Flame Lord Possession!"
"Stone Giant Possession!"
Seeing Shen He's imposing aura, the two immediately activated their Martial Soul Possession as well, intending to end the battle quickly.
"First Soul Skill: Blazing Fireball!"
"First Soul Skill: Petrified Skin!"
As the two released their Soul Skills, one in front and one behind, they immediately entered battle formation. One was responsible for close-range defense, while the other handled long-range attacks.
Their professionalism did not slacken in the slightest just because their opponent was alone. It seemed they intended to make this kid who dared challenge them suffer a little.
"Is that all you've got?"
As Shen He circulated the Battle Saint Law, he casually threw a punch. The long golden dragon formed from his blood qi smashed straight through the opponent's probing first Soul Skill, Blazing Fireball, then sent the Stone Giant soul master blocking the front staggering several steps backward.
"Not bad!"
Seeing that Shen He's third Soul Ring was ten thousand years old and that he had shattered their first Soul Skill with a casual strike, the two became serious.
"Second Soul Skill: Flame Control! Third Soul Skill: Flame Hell!"
"Second Soul Skill: Rock Armor! Third Soul Skill: Earth Link!"
Under the control of the Flame Lord soul master, the entire battle platform was instantly engulfed in raging flames. While burning away at Shen's strength, the flames were also constantly manipulated into various attacks that flew toward Shen He, who was being blocked by the Stone Giant.
"You want to wear me down? Too bad my Ancient Sacred Body Martial Soul is impervious to all techniques!"
Under the influence of Shen He's powerful Sacred Body Martial Soul, his physical strength had reached an almost absurd level. These flame attacks could not cause him any substantial damage at all, merely making him feel slightly hot and irritated.
"Let me see just how much punishment that rock of yours can take!"
Looking at the Stone Giant soul master standing before him and refusing to yield even an inch, specializing in defense, Shen He felt the urge to test him. His first and second Soul Rings lit up simultaneously.
He then threw another punch. It was an ordinary punch, yet a Golden Blood Dragon coiled around it, carrying a terrifying aura. Seeing such a powerful attack coming toward him, the Stone Giant soul master felt a chill in his heart despite his formidable defense and hurriedly unleashed his fourth Soul Skill.
"Earth Guard!"
There was no earth-shaking boom. The instant Shen He's fist struck the Stone Giant soul master, overwhelming force utterly destroyed the layers of defense he had built up. Even the backlash produced from breaking through the defense was fully applied to the opponent through Shen He's second Soul Skill.
The Stone Giant soul master was sent flying the moment he was hit. He spat out a large mouthful of blood in midair, looking severely wounded. And this was with Shen He holding back and not detonating his Hidden Strength.
"Cousin!"
Seeing this, the Flame Lord soul master realized that things were bad. His attacks had no effect at all, and his teammate's defense had been broken through. If this continued, they would undoubtedly lose, ending their winning streak.
"Prepare the Martial Soul Fusion!"
Seeing that the two still had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Shen He magnanimously waited for them to release it. After all, he had not had enough fun yet.
After the two soul masters released their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their figures vanished from the arena. In their place stood a Lava Giant with a terrifying temperature, magma flowing across its body.
The horrifying heat even made Shen He feel threatened.
The Lava Giant let out an angry roar, and countless flaming rocks came crashing down from the sky.
"Evil God Transformation!"
Seeing that his defenses might not be able to withstand it, Shen He immediately activated his third Soul Skill, using the evil energy to make his body even stronger.
For a while, flames churned across the arena, while dust billowed as Shen He shattered the rocks one after another. From the audience stands, everyone could only vaguely see a golden dragon darting about within the haze and smashing apart the falling rocks.
But their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was not over yet. The enormous Lava Giant finally leaped into the air and then smashed toward Shen He with tremendous force. Shen He did not dodge either, meeting it with a punch.
Under the effects of his immense strength and his first, second, and third Soul Skills, the Lava Giant was shattered the instant they collided. The two soul masters at the Soul Ancestor level fell to the ground, their lives unknown.
"Did you see that? I, Shen He, the dean of Shrek Academy, hereby declare that certain soul masters' personal actions should not be attributed to Shrek Academy!"
After defeating the two soul masters, Shen He immediately issued a statement distancing himself from Tang San, making it clear that whatever that disgusting pervert did was his own business and had nothing to do with anyone else.
"God-Tier Martial Soul!"
In the audience stands, a veiled female soul master who had witnessed Shen He defeat the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of two Soul Ancestors while relying only on Soul Elder-level cultivation also formed her own judgment.
This person was none other than Bibi Dong, who had traveled incognito to the Star Dou Great Forest to add a Soul Ring to her second Martial Soul. Although her extensive experience could not tell her how Shen He had obtained a ten-thousand-year third Soul Ring, she was certain that his Martial Soul was absolutely a God-Tier Martial Soul!
It even appeared to be stronger than the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
Although she had heard that this person was the dean of some Shrek Academy, Bibi Dong was fully confident. As the pope of Spirit Hall, what could she not provide? As long as she recruited such a talent into Spirit Hall, would she not also obtain the method for acquiring a ten-thousand-year third Soul Ring?
Besides, he was so young yet already possessed such strength, and he was fairly handsome as well. If her disciple Hu Liena took a liking to him, it would make a fine match.
For the moment, she did not hurry. She simply waited until the host announced the victory and Shen He was about to leave the Great Soul Arena before stepping forward to recruit him.
"Please wait!"
"You are?"
Seeing a veiled female soul master with an exceptionally attractive figure suddenly block his path, Shen He failed to react for a moment.
"You can call me Wang Dong'er."
When Bibi Dong saw Shen He ask, she immediately fabricated a false name. The surname Wang was meant to represent Spirit Hall's "Wang," while Dong sounded the same as Dong in her own name.
"Wang Dong'er?"
Hearing this familiar name, Shen He looked astonished. No matter how he thought about it, he could not understand what was going on. In the end, he simply treated it as a case of two people sharing the same name.
"What can I do for you?"
"There are too many eyes and ears here. Why don't we find a quieter place and sit down for a proper chat?"
Bibi Dong pointed toward the noisy surroundings and the crowds around the Great Soul Arena, signaling for Shen He to move somewhere else to talk.
Could this woman have been captivated by my heroic bearing and come looking for a sudden romance?
Since the stunning female soul master had not said what she wanted and had merely indicated that he should go somewhere quiet to talk, Shen He assumed that she had taken a liking to him and became somewhat flustered. After all, judging by his age, he was still just a child!
