Shrek Academy, Soul Fighting Arena.

When Zhou Huan and Xiao Xiao arrived, a considerable number of students from the Outer Court had already gathered there, including Wang Qingya, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng, among others.

It's quite obvious that Wu Feng, the Little Fire Dragon, has been injured yet again.

It seems he just had a fight with Xiao Hongchen.

However, Zhou Huan felt no sympathy for her at this moment, because the Little Fire Dragon had once again clung to Ning Tian in public.

Looking back at the arena, Wen Xiaoshuai was currently locked in a fierce battle with Xiao Hongchen.

At this moment, Wen Xiaoshuai had already activated his third Soul Skill – Battle Bear Frenzy!

He was no longer possessed by the Earth Battle Bear Martial Soul, but by the Berserk War Bear, completely immersed in a violent and frenzied battle mode!

Even his eyes turned blood red!

However, Zhou Huan could tell that Wen Xiaoshuai had not lost his mind at all, which showed that this kind of berserk behavior was quite good.

However, even in his berserk state, Wen Xiaoshuai would most likely still be no match for Xiao Hongchen, who is equipped with metal Soul Tool!

Wen Xiaoshuai's fourth Soul Skill, Battle Bear Sky Cannon, has clashed with Xiao Hongchen's Soul Tool Light Cannon several times, but he still hasn't gained any advantage.

Although Wen Xiaoshuai's Soul Power Level has now reached the peak of level 46, it is still far inferior to Xiao Hongchen's level of at least 57.

Moreover, Xiao Hongchen is not only Soul King with a powerful Martial Soul, but also a Level Five Soul Engineer.

Moreover, judging from the looks of it, if it weren't for the limitation of Soul Power Level, Xiao Hongchen would almost have become Level 6 Soul Master.

If Xiao Hongchen were to cultivate normally before the next Soul Master Competition, he would definitely become a powerful Soul Emperor and Level 6 Soul Master.

Unfortunately, for a Soul Master Competition that even the Sun Moon Empire didn't care about, Xiao Hongchen used a lot of drugs to boost his level to the Soul Sage level.

This would cut off his future as Soul Master, and he might not even be able to break through to the Rank 9 Soul Master in the future.

That's a huge loss!

He clearly had a lot of talent, but he insisted on ruining himself with drugs.

Zhou Huan felt sorry for Xiao Hongchen.

Although Xiao Hongchen did this for Jing Hongchen and Mingde Hall, because Mingde Hall was ambushed by the Body Sect before the competition, losing both face and substance.

Xiao Hongchen had no choice but to make a sacrifice.

But Zhou Huan still felt that Xiao Hongchen shouldn't ruin himself; it was putting the cart before the horse and ultimately a losing proposition.

Moreover, the next Soul Master Competition is a trap set by Crown Prince Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Crown Prince!

All the sacrifices Xiao Hongchen made for the competition were completely wasted.

At this moment, Zhou Huan looked at Xiao Hongchen, who was fighting fiercely on the stage, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Xiao Hongchen's Three-legged Golden Toad Martial Soul, with its ridiculously strong Metal Control, combined with the Soul Tool all over his body, makes him practically a Douluo version of a nano- Iron Man. He can even freely switch between his metal form and Soul Tool Cannon Barrel, making him almost like a humanoid Soul Tool!

Moreover, the key point is that Xiao Hongchen's first four Soul Skill — Metal Control, Gold Boiling, Gold Condensation, and Gold Sacrifice —were entirely designed for Soul Tool.

Therefore, such Xiao Hongchen is undoubtedly powerful.

At this moment, Wen Xiaoshuai and Xiao Hongchen on the arena had entered the final, fierce battle!

Wen Xiaoshuai had used the Explosive Bear Claw and Battle Bear Sky Cannon countless times, and his Soul Power was almost 80% depleted.

But Xiao Hongchen on the other side still handled it with ease.

Like a steel hedgehog, Xiao Hongchen relentlessly fired his Soul Tool Light Cannon at Wen Xiaoshuai.

Every time Wen Xiaoshuai tried to engage in close combat, he was blasted away by Xiao Hongchen's cannon fire!

Of course, even as Soul King and Level Five Soul Engineer, Xiao Hongchen couldn't possibly fight the berserk Earth Battle Bear without sustaining any injuries.

However, Wen Xiaoshuai's injuries were significantly more severe than Xiao Hongchen's Xiao Hongchen, and his Soul Power was also depleted much faster.

In the end, Wen Xiaoshuai was defeated after unleashing his final attack, the Battle Bear Sky Cannon, and was taken off the stage by the referee.

Wang Qingya quickly went over and took out Little Bun to help Wen Xiaoshuai recover his Soul Power.

Xiao Hongchen has won another round.

At this moment, the atmosphere was somewhat somber; they had been bullied right on their doorstep!

But among their group, the highest cultivation level was only Soul Ancestor, lower than Wen Xiaoshuai's. How could they possibly fight?

There were two sixth-grade Soul King seniors before, but unfortunately they still lost.

Besides, there are very few Soul King in Shrek Outer Court, because those who can break through to Soul King in the Outer Court usually go on to enter the Inner Court.

Only some relatively weaker Soul King will remain in the Outer Court.

Therefore, facing Xiao Hongchen, High-level Soul King and Soul Engineer, there is really not much chance of victory.

It was at this moment that Xiao Hongchen on the stage saw Zhou Huan below the stage and gave him a provocative glance.

Zhou Huan was speechless. "Are you out of your mind?"

Moreover, Zhou Huan was also thinking that, given Xiao Hongchen's intelligence, he shouldn't have done something so mindless and provocative so soon after arriving at Shrek.

Bullying Shrek Outer Court students of lower rank than him is completely pointless for Xiao Hongchen.

We can't demoralize Shrek Academy like this, can we?

Zhou Huan felt that Xiao Hongchen's actions would only backfire, since most of the students present were younger than him and had lower Soul Power. Wasn't this just blatantly encouraging them to work harder at cultivation?

At this moment, there was no time for Zhou Huan to guess Xiao Hongchen's purpose.

At this moment, the referee on the stage looked rather grim, but still asked, "Are there any students left to challenge?"

There was a sudden increase in noise on the field, but still no one went up.

Below the arena, Meng Hongchen stood beside Wang Dong, grinning as she said, "Wang Dong, your Shrek Outer Court isn't all that great, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong glanced at Meng Hongchen expressionlessly and said coldly, "We defeated you in the Soul Master Competition."

Meng Hongchen: "..."

Then, Wang Dong added, "Also, stay three meters away from me."

Just as Meng Hongchen took a few steps back with a displeased expression, about to say something, she saw a figure being thrown onto the arena.

Meng Hongchen looked closely and couldn't help but exclaim "Huh?" It was that ordinary-looking boy. She wondered why her older brother was always staring at him.

That's right, the person who got thrown was Zhou Huan!

The person who threw him was clearly Xiao Xiao.

Well, Zhou Huan just went along with this little girl's inexplicable actions; let her throw it away, he didn't care.

When Zhou Huan stood on the stage, many people didn't recognize him, but quite a few fourth-year students knew him. Zhou Huan, the "Fast Man," is definitely not someone to be underestimated!

Just then, someone in the audience suddenly shouted, "Fast Man, take him down!!"

Zhou Huan almost stumbled and fell on the ring.

However, they eventually managed to stabilize their progress.

On the other side, seeing Zhou Huan actually go on stage, Xiao Hongchen revealed what he thought was a charming smile, "You're here."

To this, what could Zhou Huan say? A normal person would simply say, "I'm here."

Zhou Huan is clearly a normal person.

Fortunately, Xiao Hongchen's next line wasn't "You shouldn't have come," but rather "It's good that you came."

Otherwise, Zhou Huan wouldn't know how to answer.

Then, Xiao Hongchen said, "Zhou Huan, let's make a bet. If you win, I'll give you a level-five Soul Tool; if I win, you have to tell me the truth about how you knew the secret of our siblings' Martial Soul."

Uh, bro, wait, are you really that fixated on this?

Since you already know, what's the point of still pursuing this?

Seeing Zhou Huan remain silent, Xiao Hongchen revealed a contemptuous look and said, "You don't dare?"

Xiao Hongchen didn't start this trouble for no reason. The reason he provoked them was twofold: first, to test the level of these Outer Court Disciple from Shrek Academy, since they could all be future enemies of the Mingde Hall.

Secondly, he wanted to see if there were any Shrek Academy students he could use as a starting point to uncover information he wanted to know. Combat is actually a very good way to learn, and it can even reveal a person's personality.

Third, if Zhou Huan accepts the challenge, we can defeat him, or even force him in the ring, because when a person is injured, angry, and has lost face, he often loses his rationality.

He clearly couldn't believe he would lose to Zhou Huan. Even though he had witnessed Zhou Huan's speed during the Soul Master Competition, he didn't think that a Level Five Soul Engineer would lose.

No matter how fast Zhou Huan was, he couldn't break through his own Defensive Soul Tool, let alone withstand the barrage of his own Soul Cannon.

These are the various considerations that Xiao Hongchen had.

Zhou Huan, already standing on the arena, didn't bother thinking about it anymore. He calmly said, "Young man, don't get so hot-tempered. It's bad for your physical and mental health. Anger hurts your liver. Besides, gambling is a very bad habit. As a good student, I would never get involved in such things. However, if you give me a level-five Soul Tool, I'd be happy to accept it."

Xiao Hongchen: "..."

Referee: "..."

The audience below the stage. "..."

Only Wang Qingya and Xiao Xiao covered their faces in utter speechlessness.
