Instant Defeat

Just as Xu Sanshi froze in shock, Jiang Yuheng suddenly appeared before him. He raised his right hand, and a powerful Ice Aura erupted in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Sanshi became the most distinctive Humanoid Ice Sculpture on the field. The outcome had been decided.

At the sight, many Senior Students rose to their feet in disbelief, staring dumbfoundedly at Xu Sanshi on the Competition Stage.

The result exceeded everyone's expectations. Some had not even seen the entire exchange before Jiang Yuheng had already claimed victory.

"Jiang Yuheng wins!" With the referee's announcement, the match was officially settled.

"Senior Xu lost? How is that possible?!"

"Did that New Student cheat? Senior Xu is the strongest defense in the Outer Court, an undefeated legend! How could he lose to a New Student?"

"Referee, we demand a review! There's definitely something wrong with this match!"

It was hardly surprising that such protests arose from the stands.

After all, Xu Sanshi was known as the Outer Court's strongest defense. With his status as an Outer Court Core Disciple and a Soul Elder, he was firmly established. Jiang Yuheng, meanwhile, was merely a fledgling kid who did not even have Three Rings. There was no way he should have been able to win!

Jiang Yuheng said nothing. He simply turned and walked over to the referee, politely asking for the microphone.

"First, the outcome has been decided. Everyone here witnessed it."

"Second, whether I cheated is for the referee to decide."

"Third, if all you can do is run your mouths from the stands, then those who refuse to accept it, I'm giving you a chance right now."

"Anyone in the Entire Grade below Four Rings who can defeat me on the Competition Stage will receive one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins on the spot."

"If you don't dare, then shut the hell up."

Jiang Yuheng's voice was utterly calm as his cold gaze swept across everyone in the stands. He had clearly not released any Soul Power, yet he still made them shudder.

The moment those words came out, they immediately provoked intense dissatisfaction among many Senior Students.

Did this brat really think he could do whatever he wanted just because he had defeated Xu Sanshi?!

Some Senior Students even jumped directly over the railings of the stands. Rolling up their sleeves, they strode forward, prepared to teach Jiang Yuheng a brutal lesson.

The instant one of them stepped onto the Competition Stage, an extreme cold aura invaded his body. Before the Senior Student could even react, his arm had already frozen solid.

Jiang Yuheng stood not far away, watching him indifferently.

Whether it was because the aura was too cold or because the fear in his heart had been magnified without limit, the student immediately jumped back down the moment he set foot on the Competition Stage.

Then, as though nothing had happened, he scrambled and fled back into the stands.

Damn it, what kind of New Student was this? He was clearly a Monster Reincarnation!

Seeing this, the other students' eagerness to make a move turned into hesitation.

To be honest, they had never truly intended to go up and fight him.

Jiang Yuheng's victory had simply left them feeling terribly unbalanced. Why should a New Student who had just arrived be allowed to win?

As for going up there to beat him up, they would rather forget it.

Everyone in the Outer Court knew Xu Sanshi's strength. If even he could not handle Jiang Yuheng, there was no need to mention the other students.

Jiang Yuheng knew exactly that, which was why he dared to speak so arrogantly.

Of course, if any Senior Student truly dared to come up, their fate would only be worse than Xu Sanshi's.

Afterward, Xu Sanshi kept his promise and obediently handed over two Mysterious Water Pills.

"Jiang Yuheng, tell me in private—what exactly is your Martial Soul? How did it suppress my Mysterious Turtle?"

Xu Sanshi was genuinely curious. He had been in Shrek Academy's Outer Court for five years. During that time, countless Beast Martial Soul Spirit Masters had lost to him.

The only person who had ever tied with him was Bei Bei. Bei Bei's Martial Soul was a slightly mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and its formidable power needed no explanation.

As for Jiang Yuheng's Martial Soul, Xu Sanshi had pondered it for quite some time but still could not make sense of it. However, it was definitely a Beast Martial Soul.

"Frost Dragon," Jiang Yuheng answered.

"Frost Dragon?" Upon hearing that name, not only Xu Sanshi but even Bei Bei fell into rare contemplation.

It was not difficult to tell from Jiang Yuheng's methods of attack that his Martial Soul should be an Ice Attribute Martial Soul of the Attack Type.

Yet Shrek Academy's records on Ice Attribute Martial Souls contained no mention of a Frost Dragon.

Could it be that a new species had appeared over in the Far North?

As the two pondered, Tang Ya stood nearby, smiling so broadly that her face nearly blossomed like a flower.

Jiang Yuheng had odds of ten to one. Including her original stake, she now had more than four million Gold Soul Coins in hand. Calling it getting rich overnight would not be an exaggeration!

"Little Yuheng, you're practically my lucky star!"

Tang Ya was beside herself with excitement. Turning around, she prepared to rush over and hug Jiang Yuheng again.

Fortunately, Bei Bei and Wang Dong reacted quickly and immediately pulled the two apart.

"Teacher Ya, calm down." Bei Bei let out a helpless sigh.

Wang Dong's attitude, however, was nowhere near as gentle as Bei Bei's.

"You idiot, did a donkey kick you in the head? Why didn't you dodge?"

Jiang Yuheng looked terribly wronged. "It happened too suddenly. Even if I wanted to dodge, I couldn't."

"Excuses." Wang Dong shot him a glare and quickly headed toward the dormitory.

"Wang Dong!" Seeing this, Jiang Yuheng hurriedly placed a Mysterious Water Pill in Huo Yuhao's hand. "Remember to take it."

After reminding him, he hurried off to chase Wang Dong.

Huo Yuhao sighed. "Again? Seriously, can't we have something else for once?"

"Little Yuhao, from the sound of it, do you take Mysterious Water Pills often?" Tang Ya asked.

Huo Yuhao nodded. "About a dozen times a month."

"Holy shit!"

Back in the dormitory, Wang Dong sat on the bed with an imposing air, her expression so cold it was frightening.

Jiang Yuheng very wisely knelt on a washboard. As for why, he did not know either. He just knew he should kneel!

"Wang Dong, d-don't be angry. I'll be more careful next time. I absolutely won't have any contact with other girls. Really, I promise!"

Wang Dong sneered. "When did I say I was angry? Am I angry?"

Faced with such a deadly question, Jiang Yuheng swiftly changed tactics.

Jiang Yuheng said, "Of course not. Our Wang Dong is kind-hearted and magnanimous. How could you possibly get angry over something so trivial?"

"If anyone is to blame, it's this idiot who doesn't even know how to keep his distance."

Wang Dong's face flushed red with embarrassment and indignation. "Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about?!"

This idiot! Keeping his distance, being angry—he made it sound like we were boyfriend and girlfriend!

Wait, who was boyfriend and girlfriend with him?!

"Then don't be angry anymore, okay?" Jiang Yuheng looked at Wang Dong pitifully.

His pleading expression was completely different from the imposing, unflinching figure he had been in the Spirit Fighting Zone.

"I'm not angry. I just..."

At that point, Wang Dong clearly paused. It was not from shyness, but because she did not know how to describe how she felt.

For some reason, whenever she saw girls getting close to Jiang Yuheng, her heart inexplicably felt sour, and she would become angry without realizing it.

It was so strange. She had never felt this way before...
