Overwhelming Xu Sanshi, Reward: 2 Mysterious Water Pills and a Mysterious Turtle Replacement Experience Card?!

"That should be enough to beat you."

As soon as he said this, the air around them seemed to freeze.

The students lining up to buy Grilled Fish widened their eyes one after another, looking at Dai Yu as if he were crazy.

Who was this freshman?

How dare he provoke Xu Sanshi?

He was the famous "Defense Demon" of the Outer Court, and a perennial champion of the Shrek Academy Fighting Arena!

Although he usually looked carefree and unserious, once he actually started fighting, he was notoriously difficult to deal with.

Xu Sanshi froze for a moment, then laughed in exasperation.

He had only wanted to tease the two handsome junior students and show off a little in front of the beauty.

He had not expected that not only would he fail to put on a show, but a freshman would actually look down on him.

"Good kid!

You're bold!"

Xu Sanshi rolled up his sleeves, revealing a set of sturdy, muscular arms. His gaze turned dangerous.

"Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson, or you won't know the rules of Shrek Academy.

Today, I'm eating this Grilled Fish no matter what!

And not only am I eating it—you'll have to treat me as an apology!"

As he spoke, Xu Sanshi reached out with his large hand, bypassing Huo Yuhao and grabbing directly for the two sizzling Grilled Fish on the grill.

Those had been reserved by Wang Dong.

Just as his hand was about to touch the Grilled Fish,

a long, fair, bony hand clamped around his wrist like an iron vise.

"Did I let you touch them?"

Dai Yu's voice remained lazy, but his eyes instantly sharpened like blades.

Xu Sanshi frowned and instinctively tried to break free.

To his shock, however, no matter how hard he struggled, that hand did not move at all!

It was as if what held him was not a human hand, but a hydraulic clamp!

How is this kid so strong?!

Xu Sanshi was startled. No longer holding back, he suddenly released his Soul Power.

"Mysterious Turtle, possess me!"

With a deep roar, a ring of black light rippled out from Xu Sanshi's body.

His body suddenly swelled by a full circle, stretching his clothes taut. Behind him, the phantom of a gigantic black turtle shell faintly emerged.

Two yellow and one purple—the three Soul Rings of the optimal configuration—slowly rose beneath his feet.

A Soul Elder!

And a Soul Elder of the Assault Defense Type who possessed a top-tier Beast Martial Soul!

The surrounding students retreated in alarm, afraid of being caught in the aftermath.

When Wang Dong saw this, his expression changed. He instinctively tried to release his Martial Soul to help, but Huo Yuhao tugged at his clothes.

"Don't worry. Trust Yu Ge."

Blind adoration flickered in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

In his heart, Yu Ge was invincible.

"Let go of me!"

Xu Sanshi growled. Black light surged along his arm, and a tremendous force as heavy as a mountain crushed toward Dai Yu.

This was the gravity suppression unique to the Mysterious Turtle Martial Soul!

However, faced with a force powerful enough to crush an ordinary Soul Grandmaster, Dai Yu merely let out a disdainful scoff.

"That's it?"

The next second.

Roar—!!!

A Tiger Roar filled with killing intent exploded beside everyone's ears without warning!

Dai Yu's eyes instantly turned into strange, mismatched pupils, and his black hair whipped wildly in the air.

Behind him, the phantom of the Sacred Beast White Tiger appeared with a thunderous boom, its entire body wrapped in Platinum Light and its back bearing a pair of Wings!

The moment the White Tiger Phantom appeared, the Mysterious Turtle Phantom that had been showing off its might just moments earlier

suddenly trembled as if it had encountered a natural enemy, its light instantly dimming!

Bloodline suppression!

The superior pressure of the Sacred Beast White Tiger!

Immediately afterward, two Soul Rings rose from beneath Dai Yu's feet.

The first was yellow.

The second—

a deep, heart-pounding purple!

"A... a thousand-year second Soul Ring?!"

Xu Sanshi's pupils shrank to pinpoints, and he cried out in shock.

Before he could react, dazzling Platinum Light suddenly erupted from the hand Dai Yu had clamped around his wrist.

Extreme Gold!

Unbreakable and capable of piercing anything!

"Break!"

Dai Yu uttered a soft shout and applied force with his fingers.

"Crack—"

It was the groan of bones unable to bear the strain. Along with the seemingly indestructible protective Soul Power of the Mysterious Turtle Shell, it shattered inch by inch like glass!

"Argh—!!"

Xu Sanshi let out a scream. His entire body flew backward like a cannonball,

crashing heavily into the open ground more than ten meters away and kicking up a cloud of dust.

The entire scene fell deathly silent.

Everyone's mouths hung open, their jaws practically dropping to the ground.

One move?

Just one move!

Xu Sanshi, the three-ringed Soul Elder known as the "Defense Demon," had actually been instantly defeated by a freshman with only two Soul Rings?!

And he had been crushed head-on, his defenses forcibly shattered!

Was this really a freshman?

This was practically a human tyrannosaur!

[ Ding! Detected extreme shock and fear from the important plot character "Xu Sanshi." ]

[ Congratulations, Host. You have received a suppression reward: Mysterious Water Pill *2! ]

[ Detected that Xu Sanshi possesses a trace of the bloodline of the Divine Beast Black Tortoise. Special drop triggered:

Mysterious Turtle Replacement (one-time Experience Card skill). ]

Dai Yu withdrew his hand, without even a wrinkle in his clothes.

He looked at Xu Sanshi, who lay on the ground questioning his life choices, then leisurely dusted off his palm and said indifferently:

"Defense Demon?

You're nothing but a turtle shell.

In the face of absolute sharpness, your defenses are as brittle as paper."

After speaking, he turned around and took the two Grilled Fish from the dumbfounded Huo Yuhao.

He handed one to Wang Dong, who was already staring blankly nearby, and kept the other for himself.

"Eat it while it's hot. It'll taste fishy once it gets cold."

Dai Yu took a bite of the crisp-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside Grilled Fish and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, as if he had merely swatted a fly to death.

Wang Dong accepted the Grilled Fish in a daze. Looking at Dai Yu's calm, untroubled profile, his heart began pounding uncontrollably.

He... he's so cool!

Although this guy was annoying, arrogant, and liked bullying people,

the domineering display he had unleashed just now was enough to make anyone's legs go weak!

"It's... over just like that?"

Wang Dong muttered to himself.

"What else?"

Dai Yu glanced at him and said with a mischievous grin:

"Did you want me to roast him for you?

That thing's meat is too tough. I doubt you could bite through it."

"Pfft—"

Wang Dong could not hold back his laughter, and the tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.

He rolled his eyes at Dai Yu and took a vicious bite of the Grilled Fish in his hand.

"Hmph! Fine, you're amazing, all right?

But don't get cocky. That guy must have been careless and wasn't using his full strength."

"A win is a win. Why make so many excuses?"

Dai Yu shrugged.

Of course, he knew Xu Sanshi had not used his full strength. He had not even used his Soul Skills properly.

But so what?

Extreme Gold specialized in breaking defenses. Combined with his current physical abilities and Spiritual Power, even if Xu Sanshi went all out, Dai Yu was confident he could make him shed a layer of skin.

Not to mention...

From the corner of his eye, Dai Yu glanced toward the edge of the crowd.

There, a slender and graceful figure stood quietly, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment as she watched them.

Jiang Nannan.
