Qian Chaoyun grew more excited, the effect of his Third Soul Skill, Battle Intent Buff, growing stronger and stronger.

Constantly fighting, constantly improving his strength.

These guys dared to come assassinate him without even understanding the difference in strength, did they think he was one of those students who just ate and did nothing in the inner courtyard every day?

He didn't know how many life-and-death battles like this he had experienced.

Next, he looked at the remaining two, a cruel smile curving his lips, and said, "How do you two want to die?"

As soon as he said this, the faces of the two changed drastically.

Was this something Shrek Academy would say? It sounded more like something an Evil Spirit Master would say.

The Black-Clothed Soul Emperor had the thought of retreating, and shouted, "Do you really want this to be a fight to the death?"

Qian Chaoyun gripped his sword and pointed it at the two survivors, coldly saying, "Stop spewing nonsense at me. Evil Spirit Master, your time of evil ends here. Accept judgment!"

Seeing this, the Black-Clothed Soul Emperor, without a second word, ordered his companion to flee.

They split into two paths to escape, increasing their chances.

Qian Chaoyun sneered, his Fifth Soul Ring lit up, and the Six Wings behind him radiated divine brilliance, activating the Angel Imprints on the two individuals.

The two fleeing felt as if they were locked onto by something, their faces filled with horror.

As soon as they turned back, they saw Qian Chaoyun raising the Angel Holy Sword, the phantom of the Daughter of the Angel appearing behind him, and he roared, "Fifth Soul Skill, Great Angel Seal Demon Slash."

In an instant, dazzling sword light locked onto the two. The Angel Holy Sword suddenly transformed into a golden giant sword and cleaved down at them.

The Black-Clothed Soul Emperor and the Soul King immediately circulated their soul power to resist, swinging their Flame Greatswords.

Boom--!

This sword strike directly knocked the two from the sky, and they spat out a mouthful of blood.

They weren't dead, but they were close.

Before the two could make a move, Qian Chaoyun, who was in mid-air, swooped down.

The Black-Clothed Soul Emperor shouted, "Spare my life!"

However, Qian Chaoyun acted as if he hadn't heard, and cleaved down with his sword from the air.

Pfft!

A bloody head rolled down. The Black-Clothed Soul Emperor perished!

Qian Chaoyun drew his sword and said calmly, "I am not indecisive. Letting you live is Yama's job. I'm only responsible for sending you to see Yama."

Next, he looked at another Soul King.

Seeing this, the Soul King committed suicide.

Thus, this assassination attempt ended completely at the cost of five Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor losing their lives.

The next moment, the system panel appeared.

[Ding! Congratulations on killing six defined Evil Spirit Masters, gaining a Soul Power boost]

[Congratulations on killing a Soul Emperor, gaining a Holy Attribute increase]

[Rewards being distributed...]

In an instant, Qian Chaoyun felt his Soul Power soaring, instantly reaching level 58.5, half a level away from entering level 59.

His Holy Attribute was also improving subtly.

At this moment, he felt much more relaxed. A feeling of Soul Power depletion washed over him, and his body suddenly went limp.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong slid off Qian Chaoyun's back.

Their mouths formed O-shapes, having witnessed the entire battle, they were too shocked to speak.

The senior had single-handedly defeated five Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor.

This strength was too heaven-defying!

It was six people working together, yet they were completely cut down by the senior alone.

The saying that Angel Soul Masters were invincible in the sky was never just a legend; it was truly unfolding before their eyes.

Huo Yuhao exclaimed, "Senior, you're even more amazing than my dad!"

The highest adjective to praise someone was to use their biological father as a comparison, and in Little Yuhao's heart, Qian Chaoyun was more powerful than the White Tiger Duke.

Beside him, Wang Dong awkwardly nudged Yuhao and said with annoyance, "Yuhao, that's not how you praise someone. You should say, 'Senior is truly amazing, worthy of being a man as powerful as my dad.'"

"Isn't that the same thing?" Huo Yuhao asked, confused.

"The meaning is different," Wang Dong replied.

Qian Chaoyun took out a milk bottle to recover his Soul Power, amused by these two clowns.

These two, their ways of praising people were so strange.

However... compared to the White Tiger Duke, while his cultivation wasn't as high as the Duke's right now, his character was definitely better than the White Tiger Duke's.

Anyone else would have long abandoned these two burdens, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, and fled.

Just then, several streaks of light flew from the direction of Shrek Academy.

The moment the great battle began, the Resident Elders noticed and dispatched personnel for rescue.

The arrivals were Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, Yan Shaozhe, and Xian Lin'er.

One was the dean of the Spirit Engineering Department, the other the dean of the Martial Soul Department. Both had put down their tasks to rush to save them.

As the group arrived at the battle site, they found the fight was already over, with only six heads left on the ground.

Qian Chaoyun and Huo Yuhao were resting on the spot, recovering their soul power.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lexuan's pupils contracted sharply. She instantly flew down, arriving before Qian Chaoyun and urgently asking, "Chaoyun, are you alright? Who attacked you just now?"

She looked at the bloodstains and exhaustion on Qian Chaoyun's face, her heart aching.

This was a young man she had personally nurtured.

Qian Chaoyun shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I just ran out of soul power. I was attacked by a group of people on my way back to the academy."

At this moment, Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er were examining the identities of the deceased but found nothing. Yan Shaozhe inquired, "When this dean arrived, I sensed the aura of a Soul Emperor. Did one escape?"

"No," Qian Chaoyun replied.

No?

Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe were both stunned and puzzled.

Did Qian Chaoyun kill all the attacking powerhouses?

Wang Dong, standing nearby, quickly said, "Dean, it's like this. We were returning from training outside with Senior, and we just happened to encounter six people trying to assassinate us. Among them were five Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor..."

Soon, in just a few minutes, Wang Dong explained the whole story.

After listening, the two deans' eyes widened.

What had they heard?

Qian Chaoyun fought alone against five Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor, without any help, and forcefully severed the heads of all six.

Although the Soul Emperors outside might have been weaker than Shrek Academy's students, six of them combined would have given even a Soul Sage a headache.

Qian Chaoyun, a mere Soul King, had single-handedly slain five of them and saved the lives of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

This combat record was rarely seen in the academy, even once a century.

Except for Xiaotao, no one else could have achieved this.

Yan Shaozhe laughed heartily and said, "Good, good, good! As expected of a student I personally nurtured. This strength truly makes this old man look at him with new eyes. He is truly worthy of the bloodline of the Sacred Angel race."

Xian Lin'er rolled her eyes at Yan Shaozhe.

This old geezer is shameless, still trying to piggyback on a disciple's achievements at his age.

He's Elder Xuan's disciple, not your Martial Soul Department's disciple. What a thick skin.

Did you cultivate this disciple? And you're still trying to claim him... Just like decades ago, your skin is thicker than the city walls.

The one who truly cultivated Qian Chaoyun was Zhang Lexuan, not you, the Martial Soul Department Dean, Yan Shaozhe.

Beside them, Ma Xiaotao gritted her teeth and said angrily, "If I find out who attacked Chaoyun, I'll dig up their ancestral grave! Damn scoundrel."

Zhang Lexuan, however, was much calmer. She spoke, "Dean Yan, this matter needs to be explained to Chaoyun and the city's residents. Otherwise, such incidents will become more frequent in the city."

Yan Shaozhe nodded and said seriously to Qian Chaoyun, "This indeed needs an explanation for you. Don't worry, young man. The academy will thoroughly investigate this matter and will not let the person behind it go unpunished."

Qian Chaoyun nodded. "Thank you, Dean."

Then, the group returned to the academy.
