A Battle with Ye Xinglan

Ye Xinglan's complexion gradually turned grim.

"Good, very good."

"I'd like to see just how capable you are."

After saying this, she turned and left, her steps quick, her back conveying a hint of anger.

Zhou Tian'er made a face at her retreating back, then turned to look at Wang Zhi, patting his shoulder.

"Xiao Zhi, good luck!"

"Beat her up!"

Wang Zhi smiled and reached out to ruffle her green hair.

"Don't worry, Tian'er Jie."

Soon, it was Wang Zhi's turn to compete.

The broadcast announced their names.

The entire venue instantly erupted.

Wang Zhi walked out from the competitor's tunnel and stepped onto the arena.

Ye Xinglan also came up from the other side, her complexion still grim, but her gaze held a bit more seriousness.

The two stood firm in the center of the arena.

Ye Xinglan stared at Wang Zhi, her eyes like knives.

Wang Zhi, however, maintained his indifferent demeanor, as if the person standing opposite him wasn't a Shrek Student, but an ordinary opponent.

Seeing his expression, Ye Xinglan became even more enraged.

Acting!

Still acting!

She was convinced that Wang Zhi was forcibly suppressing his fear.

She resolved to defeat Wang Zhi as quickly as possible, making him lose all face.

Then, tomorrow, she would defeat that Tang Wulin who had disrespected her!

The referee walked to the edge of the arena and briefly announced the competition rules.

"Three, two, one..."

"Begin!"

As soon as the voice fell.

Around Wang Zhi, two purple soul rings suddenly rose.

Purple.

Thousand Year.

Both are Thousand Year Soul Rings!

The whole audience gasped.

"Holy crap! Thousand Year Soul Rings! Two of them!"

"How old is he? Just over ten, right? Two Thousand Year ones?"

"How is this possible!"

The audience seats erupted, countless people stared with wide eyes, looking at the youth on stage in disbelief.

A hint of surprise also flickered in Ye Xinglan's eyes.

Due to the previous matches, Wang Zhi had not released his soul rings, so she also didn't know that Wang Zhi actually had two Thousand Year Soul Rings.

Only then did she understand why Wang Zhi dared to refuse her request.

After all, possessing two Thousand Year Soul Rings indeed made him a genius.

But...

This still couldn't cause Ye Xinglan's fighting spirit to waver.

Having come from Shrek Academy, she was naturally full of confidence.

She had seen plenty of geniuses; Shrek was full of geniuses.

So what if he had two Thousand Year Soul Rings?

She could still win!

She raised her right hand, and two yellow soul rings rippled out from beneath her feet.

Hundred Year Soul Rings, two of them.

A long sword appeared in her palm. The sword body was bright yellow, with countless stars twinkling on it, dazzling and brilliant.

There was no powerful soul power fluctuation, but the moment this sword appeared, Ye Xinglan herself seemed to disappear.

It was as if she and this sword had completely merged into one.

Body-Sword Unity!

This was an extremely profound realm of Swordsmanship.

Ye Xinglan, holding the Star God Sword, moved and charged towards Wang Zhi.

Her speed was as fast as lightning, her sword tip aimed directly at Wang Zhi's throat.

At this moment, the shadow beneath Wang Zhi's feet writhed.

Two dark figures emerged from the shadow.

One was a Ghost Shadow Ninja, wearing a black tight-fitting outfit and holding a Kunai.

The other was a soldier from General Yika's Warrior Corps.

Unlike the Ghost Shadow Ninja, this Ghost Shadow Warrior was not skilled in Hidden Weapons but excelled in close combat.

It wore samurai armor, wielded a Shadow Warrior Blade, and exuded a killing aura.

The Ghost Shadow Warrior charged towards Ye Xinglan.

Blade met sword.

"Clang--"

A crisp sound of metal colliding exploded.

Ye Xinglan felt a tremendous force transmit through her sword, her wrist jolted, and she was forced back several steps.

She steadied herself, her complexion changing drastically.

In this exchange, she hadn't gained the advantage!

How could this be?

She was a student of Shrek Academy!

The opponent was just a Summon!

Ye Xinglan gritted her teeth and charged again, swinging her sword.

But the Ghost Shadow Warrior's swordsmanship was extremely bizarre, each strike coming from an inconceivable angle, making it impossible for her to defend.

Moreover, the force of the blade was heavy, making her arm go numb with every blow.

But fortunately...

She knew the weakness of a Summoner Type Soul Master.

The Main Body was the most vulnerable.

As long as she could get close to Wang Zhi, she could end the battle with one strike.

But now, facing this Ghost Shadow Warrior whose Strength far surpassed hers, she couldn't escape at all.

Not to mention, there was a Ghost Shadow Ninja beside him, watching her menacingly.

The ninja didn't make a move, just stood there quietly, but those dark eyes sent a chill down Ye Xinglan's spine.

Her mind wavered slightly.

No, I can't panic!

Ye Xinglan took a deep breath, forcibly stabilizing her mind.

"A bit of skill."

She floated back a few steps, creating distance, her eyes shining brightly, as if two stars were within them.

"It seems I need to get serious."

Specks of starlight swirled around her. She took a step forward, her speed suddenly more than doubling.

The Star God Sword in her hand seemed to transform into thousands of starlight, enveloping the Warrior Soldier.

This was her ultimate move, Starfall Ten Thousand Points.

However...

Just as her sword momentum unfolded, she suddenly felt a pain in her back.

A powerful force struck her from behind, sending her flying forward uncontrollably, crashing heavily onto the Arena.

"Bang!"

Dust billowed.

Ye Xinglan lay on the ground, her whole body in agony, unable to get up for a long time.

She struggled to lift her head and saw the Ghost Shadow Ninja standing quietly not far behind her, still holding the posture of his palm strike.

A sneak attack from behind.

She had lost.

The entire venue fell silent.

Then...

"ROAR!!!"

Deafening cheers erupted instantly, almost strong enough to blow off the stadium's dome.

"We won! We won!"

"Sea and Land Academy! Wang Zhi!"

"Too strong! Too strong!"

In the audience seats, countless people stood up, waving their flags and shouting wildly.

Ye Xinglan struggled to get up, her face deathly pale.

She gritted her teeth and looked at Wang Zhi, her voice filled with unwillingness.

"A sneak attack from behind, an unrighteous victory!"

Wang Zhi looked at her and shook his head helplessly.

He couldn't defend against the Ghost Shadow Ninja on the side, was that his fault?

He couldn't be bothered to explain and turned to leave the stage.

Behind him, the cheers grew louder and louder.

The news spread like wings, quickly throughout Tianhai City, and then to the entire Federation.

Tianhai Competition, a genius youth emerges, defeating a Shrek Student!

This headline instantly hit the trending list.

Countless people clicked on the video, seeing that youth fighting enemies...

No, fighting with a summon, easily defeating the Shrek Student.

The comment section exploded.

"Holy crap! What kind of summon is this? It's too fierce!"

"A Shrek Student actually lost? Am I seeing things?"

"How old is that youth? Ten? Eleven? The future is promising!"

"Hahahaha, Shrek has its day too!"

Of course, there were also doubts.

"Did Ye Xinglan underestimate her opponent? Otherwise, how could she lose?"

"Exactly, how could a Shrek Student be this weak?"

But more people were filled with amazement and emotion.

This was the first time a Shrek Academy student had ever lost outside!
