Yu Xiaogang: Giving You a Chance to Join Shrek Academy

Back then, Chen Fan had defeated him despite being at a lower level. That could still be explained by calling him a genius, a monster.

But he had so casually neutralized the Origin Ability of a twenty-thousand-year Soul Beast.

The gap had become so vast that they were left with a helpless feeling of not even being able to comprehend it.

Just then, the situation on the field changed once more!

The Profound Extreme Candle Shadow Beast, whose Soul Skill had been broken, flashed with brutality and madness in its eyes.

It forcibly unleashed its Origin Power, wrenching itself free from the suppression at the level of its Soul Spirit!

Yet its next target was not Chen Fan!

It abruptly changed direction, drove forward with all four hooves, and its massive body turned into a golden blur as it charged straight at Na'er, who had been quietly watching from the side!

In its perception, this seemingly frail Silver Haired Girl harbored a Supreme Dragon Might that filled it with dread from the depths of its bloodline!

It had to eliminate this greatest threat first!

"Seeking death!"

At the sight, boundless fury instantly surged in Chen Fan's eyes. He was about to unleash a Thunderous Strike.

But someone was faster than him.

Na'er, who had remained quiet all along, showed a trace of indifference in her eyes.

She did not even move her feet. She merely raised her head quietly.

Buzz—

The fourth Soul Ring around her lit up silently.

It was a Dark Gold Soul Ring as profound as the starry sky. The light flowing across it seemed to contain the ultimate truth behind the birth and death of the cosmos.

An invisible pressure suddenly spread outward from her.

That was not a Soul Skill.

It was merely the purest aura belonging to the Silver Dragon King, originating from the apex of the bloodline!

The Profound Extreme Candle Shadow Beast, which had been charging madly forward, suddenly froze in midair.

Its forward momentum came to an abrupt halt.

The brutality and madness in its eyes were instantly replaced by extreme terror.

Its body began to tremble violently beyond its control.

Finally, more than ten meters away from Na'er, it fell to the ground with a heavy thud. Its enormous body lay prostrate, and it did not even dare raise its head.

It had been utterly cowed.

Chen Fan's figure flashed over at that moment.

He appeared above the Profound Extreme Candle Shadow Beast's head. Candle Dragon's Origin Power gathered at his fingertips, and without the slightest hesitation, he struck down and ended its life.

A brilliant Deep Black Soul Ring slowly emerged.

Chen Fan was just about to absorb it.

Just then.

"Cough..."

A faint cough came from the dense forest nearby.

Then, a figure slowly stepped out from the shadows of the trees.

The man stood tall, but his face carried an ever-present stiffness.

It was Yu Xiaogang.

His gaze first fell upon the corpse of the still-warm Profound Extreme Candle Shadow Beast, and a flicker of surprise passed through his eyes.

Then he lifted his head, his gaze locking precisely onto Chen Fan.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes swept back and forth over Chen Fan like probing needles.

A storm raged within his heart.

At such a young age, he had actually killed a twenty-thousand-year Profound Extreme Beast alone?

How was that possible?

This young man looked familiar, yet he could not remember where he had seen him before.

After all, two years had passed. The youth had grown much taller, and the childishness had faded from his features, leaving them sharp and defined. The calm, steady bearing around him made him utterly different from how he had been two years ago.

Yu Xiaogang truly had not realized that the person before him was Chen Fan, who had once humiliated him.

But when Yu Xiaogang's gaze fell on the Soul Ring beside Chen Fan that had yet to dissipate, his expression changed.

That profound black color, along with the immense energy fluctuations contained within it, all revealed its true age.

It had absolutely surpassed ten thousand years!

Yu Xiaogang instinctively sensed Chen Fan's Soul Power.

Level thirty-nine at its peak. He only needed one final step to enter the realm of a Level 40 Soul Ancestor.

A Soul Ancestor about to obtain his fourth Soul Ring!

"Stop!"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly stepped forward, shouting urgently to stop him.

"You can't absorb this Soul Ring!"

Chen Fan paused, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly. He glanced at him but said nothing.

Seeing that he had stopped, Yu Xiaogang assumed his words had worked. He immediately put on the airs of a theory master and began speaking at length.

"According to my Martial Soul Core Theory, the limit of the Soul Rings a Soul Master can absorb is closely related to their level and physical constitution."

"A Level 40 Soul Ancestor can endure a Soul Ring no older than two thousand years!"

"This Soul Beast is estimated to be at least fifteen thousand years old, perhaps even twenty thousand years! If you forcefully absorb it, the only outcome will be that you Explode and Die!"

It had never occurred to him that this youth could be Chen Fan.

What a joke.

When they had first met at Nuoding Academy two years ago, Chen Fan had only been preparing to obtain his Second Soul Ring. How could he possibly have soared to Level 40, on the verge of obtaining his fourth Soul Ring, in merely two years?

Such Cultivation Speed completely overturned his understanding and contradicted all his theories!

After listening to him, Chen Fan merely found him noisy.

He replied calmly.

"It has nothing to do with you."

With that, he prepared to turn around and ignore this middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance, then stepped forward as well.

They felt that although this man was somewhat arrogant, he did not seem malicious. His intentions also appeared to be for Chen Fan's sake.

"Master, thank you for your concern."

Yu Tianheng spoke fairly politely. "However, Chen Fan knows his own limits, so there is no need for you to trouble yourself."

Dugu Yan also advised, "Yes, you should go back. This is the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest. It's very dangerous."

Though they spoke politely, they were inwardly scoffing.

Who was this guy?

What gave him the right to lecture Chen Fan?

Na'er walked forward with graceful steps and gave Yu Xiaogang a slight bow, her tone gentle.

"Sir, thank you for your concern. But I believe in Chen Fan. Could you please leave?"

Her logic was simple.

Whoever treated Chen Fan well, she would treat gently in return.

This man was rather long-winded, but he did seem to be worried about Chen Fan's safety.

However, Yu Xiaogang's stubbornness far exceeded their expectations.

Seeing how "obstinate" they were, he felt deeply pained.

"Nonsense! This is utter nonsense!"

"You're treating his life as a joke!"

His gaze locked onto Chen Fan once more, carrying the admonishment of an elder toward a junior.

"Young man, you have decent talent and are still young, but it's a pity you are far too reckless and do not know how to cherish your own wings!"

"Even if I can stop you today, with your kind of personality, something major will happen sooner or later!"

"How about this? You should join Shrek Academy. I'll personally help you control the direction of your cultivation and set your growth path straight!"

He wore an expression that said, I'm giving you an enormous opportunity.

The moment those words were spoken.

The atmosphere in the area suddenly changed.
