At the Worship Hall, Guangling Douluo had trained Wu Qi's reaction speed.

Although the arrows he fired showed no mercy, being struck by them felt no worse than a mosquito bite and caused no injury at all.

If Guangling Douluo went all out every time, Wu Qi would develop a resistance to the training!

All in all, teaching methods were extremely important. A good method could achieve twice the result with half the effort; otherwise, it could not even manage half the result with twice the effort.

What a pitiful bunch of kids. A trace of "pity" rose in Wu Qi's heart.

In the near future, Shrek Academy would welcome Yu Xiaogang, and that master's training methods could only be described as self-torture.

About half an hour later, an announcement rang through the Great Soul Arena.

"Phoenix Cry Qingluan and Dai Mubai, please proceed to Soul Fighting Platform Six in the outer zone for your one-on-one Soul Fighting match."

Phoenix Cry Qingluan was Wu Qi's alias. Compared to using his real name, an alias spared him quite a bit of trouble.

"Brother Wu, teach him a good lesson!" Qiangu Changkong lightly pushed his shoulders.

Before leaving, Wu Qi reminded him, "Your biggest problem is underestimating your opponents. Don't think you can thrive just because you're in the Soul Grandmaster division. There is always someone stronger!"

"When I get back, I don't want to hear that you lost."

Qiangu Changkong patted his chest and promised him.

After passing through the long contestant tunnel, Wu Qi stepped onto the Soul Fighting Platform.

Dai Mubai had been waiting on the stage for quite some time. With his arms folded across his chest, he said blandly, "I thought you'd flee before the battle. Didn't expect you to have some backbone after all."

"For the sake of us being classmates in the future, I can go a little easier on you. I just hope you can take it."

Standing up for Ma Hongjun was, bluntly put, merely a formality. His real goal was to preserve his position as Big Brother at the academy.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" The corner of Wu Qi's mouth twitched slightly.

Then, he seemed to understand why Flender had been so enthusiastic toward them.

So they thought they had come for Shrek Academy.

Wu Qi could not be bothered to explain this misunderstanding.

What did it matter to him what others thought?

Besides, he was not going to Shrek Academy anyway.

Seeing that Wu Qi did not respond, Dai Mubai stopped making himself look foolish.

Seeing that neither of them had exchanged harsh words before the match, the Referee did not waste any more time and simply announced the start of the battle.

In the Audience Seats, the spectators immediately found it boring. "What's with that kid? He doesn't even dare talk back. I didn't pay for a ticket to watch you get beaten up!"

"Shh, he's a Soul Elder, Old Master. If he hears you and decides to teach ordinary people like us a lesson, wouldn't that be easy for him?"

That was what they said, but without any pre-match trash talk, the coming clash was destined not to be too intense.

The spectators, who were accustomed to fierce battles, truly could not muster any interest in this match.

The female spectators, however, were especially fond of Wu Qi.

Dai Mubai was fairly handsome, but compared to the noble aura around Wu Qi, he ultimately paled in comparison.

On the stage.

Wu Qi did not care about anyone else's opinion. He summoned his Martial Soul and waited for the gong to sound.

"Your Soul Power Level isn't bad, but it's still a little lacking!" Dai Mubai laughed loudly. His White Tiger Martial Soul appeared, and he made no effort to conceal the strength of a level thirty-seven High-level Soul Elder.

As the gong rang, Wu Qi took the initiative and launched his attack.

The Qing Luan Martial Soul possessed a speed advantage, and he swiftly found a favorable position to attack from.

"First Soul Skill, Wind Blade!"

The stages of the Great Soul Arena were all indoors, where the air currents were incredibly chaotic and nearly impossible to borrow momentum from.

Yet Wu Qi was confident that even without exploiting the environment, he could still defeat his opponent.

The Qing Luan Wings flapped, and the densely layered feathers on them continuously fell away, turning into sharp Feather Blades!

Dai Mubai remained unmoved, a mocking smile curling over his lips. "A mere Agile Attack System Soul Master thinks he can break through my defenses?"

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Defense!"

In terms of attack power, Agile Attack System Soul Masters were far inferior to Aggressive Soul Masters. With the gap in Soul Power Level, Dai Mubai was confident that he could easily block his opponent's attacks.

Little did he know that he had already fallen into a trap.

Wu Qi shook his head slightly.

Even a lion fighting a rabbit had to give it its all.

Dai Mubai did not even possess the most basic instincts. Just what had Shrek Academy taught him!

The Feather Blades were easily blocked by Dai Mubai, but Wu Qi's next wave of attacks followed immediately.

Relying on his speed advantage, he drove a heavy punch toward his opponent's chest.

Dai Mubai's gaze was contemptuous as he extended his tiger claw to catch the punch.

Bang~

Fist and palm collided with a muffled impact.

Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically, his eyes turning exceptionally grave. "What tremendous strength! You're not an Agile Attack System Soul Master!"

Fortunately, he had not withdrawn his First Soul Skill. Otherwise, Wu Qi's punch alone would have been enough to dislocate his arm.

Yet Wu Qi's speed was clearly that of an Agile Attack System Soul Master, while he also possessed such formidable strength.

The perfect combination of strength and speed—what the hell kind of Martial Soul was this!

After the punch, Wu Qi flashed backward, leaving Dai Mubai no chance to counterattack.

"Very good. You've successfully piqued my interest. I won't pursue the conflict between you and Fatty any further. From here on, I'll attack with all my strength. I hope you can withstand it."

Wu Qi furrowed his brows.

Telling your enemy in the middle of a fight that you were going all out—were you afraid they would not prepare in advance?

With a cold laugh, he said, "I hope you're not too weak. Otherwise, this will be very boring."

"As you wish." Dai Mubai's expression turned serious, and the Second Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up. "Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Light Wave!"

A milky-white glow gathered in his mouth before he aimed at Wu Qi and spat out a beam of light.

Crane Cloud Wings quietly emerged. Concealed beneath the "cover" of the Qing Luan Wings, no one noticed anything unusual.

Wu Qi's speed was unimaginably fast. No matter how Dai Mubai adjusted his aim, the White Tiger Light Wave failed to touch him in the slightest.

When Dai Mubai released his Second Soul Skill, his body was rooted in place. As Wu Qi dodged, he also continuously closed the distance between them.

Seeing that the timing was right, the Crane Cloud Wings finished sharpening and suddenly swept out.

Dai Mubai jumped in fright and hurriedly activated his Third Soul Skill in response.

After the White Tiger Diamond Transformation activated, the muscles throughout his body swelled slightly, greatly enhancing his strength and defense.

He extended his right hand and used all his strength to withstand Wu Qi's assault.

Immediately afterward, he reached out with his left hand, intending to counterattack.

To Wu Qi, the Crane Cloud Wings were his best enhancement "Soul Skill."

Dai Mubai's speed seemed as though it had been slowed down in his eyes!

He shifted his body slightly, easily evading the attack. Then Wu Qi bent his right leg and drove his knee into Dai Mubai's abdomen.

The latter let out a muffled groan. Thanks to the enhancement from his Soul Skill, he barely blocked the strike without losing his ability to fight.

"Phoenix Cry Qingluan, well done!"

Someone in the Audience Seats started the cheer, and others immediately joined in.

The man who had insulted Wu Qi earlier immediately felt ashamed. "Hah, so he just couldn't be bothered with trash talk. My perspective was too narrow."

"By the way, he's so handsome, and even his fighting stance is cool."

The female spectator beside him felt a chill run down her spine. "Ew, aren't you embarrassed saying something like that as a grown man? Phoenix Cry Qingluan, Mommy's watching!"

The man was stunned. "Damn, even the mom fans are here."
