Shrek Inspection Group and Shrek Student Union

Soon, the dual-department meeting concluded, and Shrek Academy expelled two students who were deemed the least worthy of remaining in the academy.

Every student in Shrek now knew the terror of the Student Union, and since the Student Union would actually strike if they decided to punish you, all the students behaved themselves.

Furthermore, while Zhao Wuji was the nominal supervisor of the Student Union, Jiang Huai and Flender were the ones actually in control. Similarly, while Li Yusong was the nominal supervisor of the Shrek Inspection Group, Jiang Huai and Liu Erlong were the ones actually in control.

Jiang Huai established a core principle for the Student Union: you cannot use your status as a member to provoke trouble; if you do, the Student Union leadership will not care whether you live or die, but if anyone dares to intentionally pick a fight, they will be met with thunderous retaliation.

Additionally, if someone maliciously stirs up trouble and leads others from the Student Union to retaliate, they will all be expelled from the Student Union and Shrek, and their names will be struck from the academy's records.

Early the next morning, Flender led the group to the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena; they would not forfeit today and would continue with the competition.

Since Shrek Academy had a bye in the morning matches and would only compete in the afternoon, Jiang Huai and the others were free to continue managing the academy.

Over the past two days, the foundations for both the Student Union building and the Shrek Inspection Group building had been dug, and once the cement and sand arrived tomorrow, construction could begin.

Flender was spending a fortune this time, using only the best materials for everything, and he had also purchased quite a few Soul Guidance Devices.

Flender bought a massive pile of lighting Soul Guidance Devices, purchasing them wherever he could find them until he had practically bought out the entire stock of lighting Soul Guidance Devices in Heaven Dou City.

Because lighting Soul Guidance Devices were the simplest to manufacture, they were quite cheap, costing only a few dozen Silver Soul Coins each.

Soon, the time reached three o'clock in the afternoon, and the Shrek group arrived at the Great Spirit Arena once again.

This time, they did not have a bye; instead, they were matched against their old rivals, Canghui Academy.

Jiang Huai's strategy was simple: the simplest strategy was to have no strategy at all, letting Tang San and the others perform as they pleased.

Jiang Huai arranged the combatants for the afternoon: "Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, Jing Ling, Tai Long, and Jiang Zhu, you seven will participate in this afternoon's match. Perform as you wish throughout the match, as long as you don't kill them."

Hearing this, Jing Ling asked, "Captain, if we perform as we wish, what happens if they end up crippled?"

Jiang Huai let out a dark, cold laugh: "Heh, it's a competition; what does a little injury matter? Besides, soul skills have no eyes during a match, and our soul power is too low to control the release and retraction of our skills at will."

Hearing this, everyone understood what to do, and Dai Mubai began rubbing his hands together, filled with fighting spirit.

Soon, everyone entered the waiting area, while Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong took those who weren't competing to the spectator stands; Jiang Huai still had the privilege of sitting on a bench.

Qin Ming did not come this time because Jiang Huai had temporarily handed over the supervisory positions of the Student Union and the Inspection Group to them.

This allowed Jiang Huai and the others to focus on the competition, and it also ensured there would be fewer obstacles during the matches.

Before long, Dou Dou entered the arena with a microphone and shouted, "Welcome, everyone, to the qualifiers of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament! The first match this afternoon features the dark horse of our Heaven Dou Competition Zone, Shrek Academy, against Canghui Academy. Canghui Academy has already lost four matches; if they lose this one, they will be out of the tournament. Let us welcome both teams to the arena!"

Dou Dou spread her arms. On one side, Dai Mubai led Tang San and the others into the arena, while on the other side, the seven members of Canghui Academy didn't even have a single person with forty levels of soul power.

Yet, they walked onto the stage with an air of absolute confidence. As soon as Dou Dou announced the start of the match, the seven members of Canghui Academy stood in a circle with one person in the middle.

The seven released their martial souls—all seven were gem-type martial souls—and their soul power began to fuse.

Everyone watched this scene in shock, but Jiang Huai remained calm, waiting to see how Tang San would react.

The captain of the seven sneered, "Shrek, today we will use your defeat to avenge our humiliation!"

"Seven Shura Illusion!" x7

The appearance of a Seven-in-One Fusion Skill shocked the entire arena, especially the three people sitting in the judges' seats. Salas was marveling at the inventor who had developed such a Seven-in-One Fusion Skill.

Ning Fengzhi echoed Salas's sentiments, while Emperor Xue Ye felt that the appearance of these seven individuals in his Heaven Dou Empire was an honor for the empire.

Suddenly, Tang San used his Purple Demon Eye to break the illusion skill. Tang San raised his hand and shouted, "Seven Monsters Riot!"

Tang San released Blue Silver Entanglement, Dai Mubai activated his martial soul, and everyone began picking targets at random.

Tang San and Jing Ling protected the support-type soul masters, while Dai Mubai slapped the opposing captain, his strike so heavy and uncontrolled that the captain nearly lost half his life.

Dai Mubai hadn't realized his strike would be so powerful, and he was even more surprised that the opponents had no offensive soul skills; everyone was just running away.

The instructor of Canghui Academy immediately signaled for surrender, and Ye Zhiqiu had no choice but to have his students step down and concede.

Dou Dou glanced at her watch; Shrek had once again broken the record for the fastest victory in the tournament. It had taken Dai Mubai and his team only forty-five seconds to end the match against Canghui Academy.

Sitting beside Ye Zhiqiu, Shi Nian said to him, "Don't worry, I will take care of the Shrek captain and that Blue Silver Grass soul master."

Hearing this, a vicious look flashed in Ye Zhiqiu's eyes; he wanted Jiang Huai and Tang San to suffer a fate worse than death.

Soon, Jiang Huai and the others were on their way back to Shrek Academy, while Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang, and Flender remained at the Great Spirit Arena to continue watching the matches.

After Jiang Huai and his group left the arena, Shi Nian activated his own illusion soul skill.

Jiang Huai, Tang San, and their companions walked through Shi Nian's illusion. Jiang Huai already felt that something was wrong; he felt as if he were walking in place.

Jiang Huai secretly channeled his Jinxu Longyuan Sword. In the shadows, Jiang Yi also sensed that something was wrong; as a Soul Saint, she had been tracking Jiang Huai's aura, but it had suddenly vanished.

Jiang Yi panicked. She released her aura without restraint and began searching every corner of Heaven Dou City for Jiang Huai.

Tang Hao was no longer protecting Tang San; he had gone to the site of the great battle years ago to mourn beside the Blue Silver Grass that his wife had transformed into.

Suburbs of Heaven Dou City

Jiang Huai had been walking for a long time, but the scene before him remained the same view of Heaven Dou City. No longer willing to endure it, Jiang Huai swung his right hand violently, and the Jinxu Longyuan Sword tore through the air and appeared in his right hand.

Shi Nian raised his hand casually, thinking he could block it, but carelessness never leads to a good end. Jiang Huai's Jinxu Longyuan Sword pierced directly through his defense, severing one of Shi Nian's fingers.

The illusion shattered!

Tang San and the others emerged from the illusion to see Jiang Huai holding the Jinxu Longyuan Sword. On the ground lay a finger still wearing a ring, and Shi Nian clutched his severed left finger, veins bulging on his forehead.

Jiang Huai knew he couldn't fight someone with such bizarre offensive abilities, so he took out a Highly Toxic Pill.

As the Highly Toxic Pill appeared, the surrounding vegetation withered instantly, and Tang San, Gu Yue, and the others immediately covered their mouths and noses with their hands upon seeing this.

Shi Nian let out an angry roar at the sight, while Jiang Huai threw the pill directly, and Tang San simultaneously fired a Silent Hidden Arrow.

The bolt of the Silent Hidden Arrow struck the Highly Toxic Pill, causing the toxins to merge into the arrow, which then pierced directly into Shi Nian's head.

The piercing power of the Silent Hidden Arrow was quite poor, so the bolt remained lodged in Shi Nian's head.

The poison was delivered into Shi Nian's body by the arrow, and Shi Nian felt as if his head were about to explode.

Shi Nian clutched his head with both hands, struggling in agony on the spot. Jiang Huai covered Gu Yue's eyes with his hand, Tang San covered Xiao Wu's eyes, Dai Mubai covered Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Ning Rongrong dove straight into Oscar's arms, too afraid to look, while Jiang Zhu simply turned her head away.

Soon, Shi Nian lost his vitality amidst a series of screams; his body turned into charred remains and began emitting black smoke, though his head still emitted a faint glow.

Jiang Huai withdrew his hand from Gu Yue's eyes and walked over to Shi Nian's charred corpse. He casually found a wooden stick and poked it, causing the body to instantly collapse into ashes.

Only at the position of Shi Nian's head did a spirit bone appear. Jiang Huai reached out to pick it up and said, "Hmm? It's an Illusion Wisdom Skull Bone, and the age is quite high—a thirty-thousand-year head spirit bone."
