Shrek's Heaven-Defying Operation

His shadow beneath his feet rippled.

Three black shadows instantly emerged.

Three Ghost Shadow Warriors, clad in dark armor and wielding Shadow Warrior Blades, advanced towards the Youth in a triangular formation.

The Youth shouted, "Excellent!"

As he spoke, his third soul ring lit up.

It was a Thousand Year Soul Ring, its purple light blooming around him.

He slammed his hands onto the ground.

"Third Soul Skill, Earth Thorn Jungle!"

Rumble!

The ground of the arena trembled violently, and dozens of sharp earth thorns erupted from the surface, thrusting towards the Three Ghost Shadow Warriors.

These earth thorns were as thick as an arm, their tips incredibly sharp, densely covering a large area.

However, the Three Ghost Shadow Warriors flickered, disappearing directly into the shadows.

The earth thorns passed through where they had been, striking empty air.

A flicker of surprise crossed the Youth's eyes.

His Earth Thorn Jungle covered a vast area, almost the entire arena.

But these summons could actually disappear into shadows, completely immune to physical damage?

Before he could react, a black shadow had already emerged from the shadow behind him.

A Ghost Shadow Warrior slashed down, its blade's back smashing hard into the Youth's back.

"Bang!"

The Youth stumbled, lunging forward several steps, nearly falling.

He quickly steadied himself and turned to counterattack.

But the other two black shadows had already arrived.

Three Warrior Blades slashed simultaneously from three directions, their angles cunning and their coordination flawless.

The Youth hastily blocked, but his fists and feet were no match for the warrior blades.

In just a few exchanges, he was forced to retreat step by step.

"Damn it!"

He gritted his teeth, and his Fourth Soul Ring lit up.

That was his Second Thousand Year Soul Ring.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Earth Protection!"

Bright yellow light condensed on his body, transforming into a thick Rock Armor.

This was his strongest defensive soul skill. Once activated, his defense would greatly increase.

However, the Three Ghost Shadow Warriors gave him no chance.

Their figures became even more elusive, their attacks more dense.

Warrior Blades slashed from all angles, each strike hitting the weak points of the Rock Armor.

"Crack—"

A crisp sound.

A crack appeared on the Rock Armor.

Then came a second, a third.

"Crack, crack, crack—"

In just a few breaths, the thick Rock Armor shattered with a roar.

A Warrior Blade stopped at his throat, the tip almost touching his skin.

The Youth froze in place, not daring to move.

The entire venue fell silent for a moment.

Then, it erupted in deafening gasps.

"That's... how he won?"

"One minute KO? No, was it even a minute?"

"Those three Summons are too strong! A Four Rings Soul Ancestor couldn't even fight back?"

"My god, what kind of Monster is this Youth?!"

In the Audience Seats, countless people stared with wide eyes, watching the scene in disbelief.

Those who had believed the Youth would surely win were now gaping, their mouths shut for a long time.

The referee was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand.

"The match is over. The winner is Wang Zhi!"

The youth stood frozen in place, his complexion a mixture of green and pale.

He lost?

He, a Four Rings Soul Ancestor, lost to a Two Rings Soul Grand Master?

He lost so cleanly, so thoroughly?

Wang Zhi walked up to him and extended his hand.

"Spirit Grass."

Three simple words.

The youth gritted his teeth, took out the Hundred Year Spirit Grass from his Storage Soul Tool, and handed it over.

Wang Zhi took it and put it into his own Storage Soul Tool.

Then, he turned and left.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, he departed with a flourish.

Behind him, discussions continued for a long time.

Shrek Outer Court.

Inside the Dean's office, the atmosphere was heavy.

Cai Yuer, the Dean of Shrek Outer Court, looked extremely displeased.

As one of the Sea God Pavilion Elders, Cai Yuer valued the reputation of Shrek Academy immensely.

For twenty thousand years, Shrek Academy had been the number one academy on the continent, nurturing countless powerhouses and earning a formidable reputation.

No one had ever dared to underestimate Shrek, nor had anyone who defeated a Shrek Student been able to leave unscathed.

Therefore, when Wang Zhi defeated Ye Xinglan in the Tianhai Competition, she developed an instant dislike for the youth who had impacted Shrek Academy's reputation.

She had originally planned to suppress him when he came to participate in the Shrek Academy New Student Enrollment assessment.

To let him know...

Shrek's reputation could not be tarnished!

As for whether Wang Zhi would come to Shrek Academy?

She didn't have such a thought at all.

What a joke.

Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent!

What Soul Master wouldn't want to come to Shrek Academy?

Here there are countless resources, the best teachers, the most outstanding classmates, and the broadest future.

However, their Shrek Academy only accepts monsters, not waste.

Those with poor talent are not qualified to enter their Shrek Academy.

And now, Wang Zhi had once again slapped Shrek in the face.

At the Spirit Transmitter Tower Headquarters...

In front of so many people, he easily defeated the Sixth Grade students from Shrek Outer Court.

This made Cai Yuer furious.

She had already planned to make things difficult for Wang Zhi during the entrance examination, preventing him from joining Shrek as punishment!

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

A Middle-aged Director pushed the door open and respectfully walked to the Desk.

"Dean, the matter has been investigated clearly."

"The student who lost to Wang Zhi is indeed from our Outer Court Sixth Grade, with a cultivation of four rings."

Cai Yuer said coldly.

"As a student of Shrek, after six years of hard work and cultivation by our teachers, he actually lost to someone two Realms lower than himself."

"I think he completely fails to meet our regulation of only recruiting geniuses. Expel him."

The Director was stunned for a moment, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Dean, he is already in Sixth Grade, and will graduate in less than a year."

"If he is expelled..."

"Without the identity of Shrek Academy, finding a job outside might be..."

Cai Yuer waved her hand casually, interrupting him.

"What does this have to do with us?"

"Expel him."

Her tone was light, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.

I have to say...

Cai Yuer's move was very similar to Zhou Yi, the homeroom teacher from Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago.

As long as the underperforming students are expelled, and the excellent students are kept.

Then the academy would be filled with geniuses.

After all, those who weren't geniuses had already been expelled.

The Director remained silent for a moment, then lowered his head.

"Yes."

He turned and left the Office to handle the matter of that Youth.

The door closed softly.

Cai Yuer stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the scenery of Shrek City outside the window, lost in thought.

She needed to restore Shrek's reputation of twenty thousand years of undefeated glory as soon as possible.

Because...

Shrek Academy's twenty thousand year reputation...

Cannot be ruined in her generation!

Early morning.

Sunlight streamed through the window into the room, and Wang Zhi slowly opened his eyes from Meditation.
