Shrek's Attention

Wu Feng suddenly felt somewhat pessimistic. Her talent had never matched Qin Yue's, and now he had obtained the aid of such a precious treasure. Didn't that mean she would never have a chance to avenge herself for the rest of her life?

Thinking of the two heavy punches she had taken some days ago, Wu Feng gritted her teeth in anger. She immediately decided that, no matter what, she had to settle this score. If brute force would not work, she would find another way. One day, Qin Yue would fall into her hands!

Qin Yue and Ning Tian chatted idly as they headed toward the Assessment Area. The nine freshmen from the other three teams had also arrived, waiting for the imminent drawing of lots.

The person overseeing today's drawing was no longer Du Weilun, the Dean of the Outer Court Spirit Department. Instead, it was an elderly man in white robes—Yan Shaozhe, the 261st headmaster of Shrek Academy, and a Super Douluo whose cultivation had reached Level 95.

Excluding Mu En, who lay in front of the dormitory building all day, Yan Shaozhe was the strongest person Qin Yue had personally seen since crossing over. He was far stronger than Qin Haichuan, who had only recently broken through to Level 92.

After a long, stale-winded speech, Yan Shaozhe smiled at the freshmen below, who looked as though they had been pumped full of adrenaline, and announced the start of the drawing.

The drawing order followed the order of their classes. The first to take the stage was Dai Huabin from Freshman Class Five. Wu Feng waited until another team had finished drawing before hurriedly darting up. Her team drew three freshmen from Freshman Class Seven as their opponents, none of whom Qin Yue recognized at a glance.

The semifinals began quickly. Facing another team made entirely of Soul Grand Masters, Wu Feng confidently stepped to the front, leaving Ning Tian and Qin Yue to chat in the rear.

Although the three from Freshman Class Six were angry, they did not dare let down their guard in the slightest. Everyone knew that Wu Feng had once defeated Xie Huanyue despite the difference in levels. The three of them had not expected to advance in the first place, and now they felt that defeating Wu Feng alone would count as success.

"Begin." At the Proctor's command, two buffs immediately flew out from the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in Ning Tian's hand and entered Wu Feng's body.

Feeling her strength surge, Wu Feng let out a howl and activated her Second Soul Skill, Dragon's Fury. Like a humanoid tyrannosaur, she charged straight into the encirclement of the opposing three.

Though they had long heard of Wu Feng's reputation, the three from Class Six were still startled when they saw her in person. The Support System Soul Master standing at the rear was carelessly caught by Wu Feng. With a lift and swipe of her right claw, she sent him flying off the stage.

The remaining two men's faces darkened when they lost a teammate at the very start of the battle. But Wu Feng had already charged before them. With no time to think, they could only trust their instincts, desperately driving their Soul Rings to release Soul Skills in an attempt to strike back at Wu Feng.

But the Red Dragon Martial Soul was still the Red Dragon Martial Soul, not to mention the amplification from the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. Their Soul Skills could not be said to have had no effect on Wu Feng, only that they were neither painful nor itchy.

Realizing this, Wu Feng's smile grew brighter. She could not even be bothered to use a Soul Skill, simply throwing left and right punches at the two people before her. Before long, she had beaten them back again and again until they cried out in misery.

A minute later, the Proctor finally could not stand watching any longer. He raised a hand to stop Wu Feng and announced helplessly, "The winners are Qin Yue's team from Freshman Class Nine!"

"Tch."

Wu Feng smacked her lips in annoyance. She suddenly understood why Qin Yue's eyes had lit up when he heard that invitation that day. Punching a person felt completely different from punching a wooden post, and the feedback was worlds apart.

Just as Qin Yue's side finished, the match on the other side of the venue also reached its conclusion. The three from Freshman Class Ten had no ability to fight back before Dai Huabin, and before long, they were thrown off the arena one after another.

On the Observation Platform, Yan Shaozhe took in everything below and nodded repeatedly. At his side, Du Weilun introduced the members of the two victorious teams one by one:

"Dai Huabin, son of Duke White Tiger of the Star Luo Empire. The Evil Eye White Tiger is a well-known top-tier Martial Soul, and his talent is likewise exceptional. At only twelve years old, his cultivation has already reached Level 35."

"Zhu Lu, also from the Star Luo Empire. Her Martial Soul is the Hell Spirit Cat, and she is a Level 25 Soul Grandmaster. She has a close relationship with Dai Huabin, so I infer that they have already mastered the Hell White Tiger."

"Cui Yajie, a local resident of Shrek City. Her Martial Soul is the Nine-Tailed Fox, and she is a Level 24 Soul Grandmaster. Her talent is decent, but her strength is fairly average."

"Ning Tian, daughter of Ning Xuanyin, sect master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Her Martial Soul is the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, and she is a Level 32 Tool Soul Elder. Her talent is extraordinary, but her background means she is destined not to join Shrek."

"Wu Feng, granddaughter of the Flame Dragon Douluo of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Her Martial Soul is the Red Dragon, and she is a Level 27 Soul Grandmaster. Her talent is also quite good, but she has the same issue as Ning Tian."

At this point, Du Weilun paused slightly, and his expression grew increasingly serious.

"Qin Yue, from the Qin Clan of Forest Spirit City. His Martial Soul is Thunder, and he is a Level 33 or Level 34 Battle Soul Elder. I was present for each of his few battles. After comparing him with the other lightning-type Soul Masters among the students, I suspect that his Martial Soul may very well be Ultimate Lightning!"

"Ultimate Lightning?!" Yan Shaozhe, who had remained composed all along, turned to Du Weilun with a grave expression. "Are you certain? This is not something to joke about."

"I am absolutely certain." Du Weilun nodded, then explained, "The first time I saw that boy fight, something felt off. After making a preliminary determination, I asked Elder Xuan to examine him personally. It has already been confirmed that Qin Yue's Martial Soul is indeed Ultimate Lightning."

Yan Shaozhe's eyes were filled with shock. If it had merely been an ordinary Ultimate Attribute, that would have been one thing, but Qin Yue's cultivation was completely abnormal. Ultimate Attribute Martial Souls were excellent, but they also came with side effects.

After breaking through Level 30, Soul Masters with Ultimate Attributes cultivated at an exceptionally slow pace. Yet Qin Yue was only twelve years old this year, and his Soul Power had already reached Level 33 or 34!

Such a genius must be brought into Shrek... Yan Shaozhe's thoughts turned, and he asked Du Weilun, "What sort of force is this Qin Clan of Forest Spirit City? Is there a possibility that Qin Yue might join Shrek Academy?"

Du Weilun had expected this question. "The Qin Clan of Forest Spirit City can be considered a first-rate family. Its head, Qin Haichuan, broke through to the Title rank two years ago. Quite a few Qin Clan descendants are also studying at Shrek Academy. Qin Yan, an Inner Court disciple, and Qin Shu, a Healing System teacher, both come from the Qin Clan, and they have spoken with Qin Yue several times."

Yan Shaozhe recognized both names. One was a student close to the top tier in the Inner Court, while the other was a rare Soul Saint with the Tree of Life Martial Soul. But he immediately realized where the difficulty lay.

Shrek Academy certainly possessed formidable teaching resources, but the Qin Clan would undoubtedly raise Qin Yue as its heir. The resources he could obtain with the entire clan behind him would likewise be extraordinary. Bringing Qin Yue into Shrek Academy would be no easy task.
