Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji was so infuriated that smoke practically poured from his seven orifices; he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

He was the dignified Immovable Wisdom King, a ruthless character who had once retreated unscathed from the encirclement of Martial Soul Hall!

In the Heaven Dou Empire, which soul master wouldn't treat him with the utmost respect and give him a wide berth upon seeing him?

Yet this teenage brat before him was actually treating him like a target for practice!

This was an extreme insult to his strength!

"You little beast, you are courting death!"

Zhao Wuji roared in a fit of rage, the sound waves causing the surrounding leaves to rustle and fall.

He slammed one foot heavily onto the ground.

With a thunderous boom, the hard rocky earth was crushed into a deep crater.

Zhao Wuji's massive body shot forward like a heavy cannonball fired from its chamber.

Carrying the momentum of ten thousand jun, he barreled toward Xue Tianyu.

First Soul Skill, Immovable Wisdom King Body!

Brilliant golden light swirled frantically across his skin, forming an indestructible defensive barrier.

He intended to use the most simple, brutal, and savage method to crush this arrogant brat into a pulp!

Watching Zhao Wuji charge over like a moving mountain, Xue Tianyu stood his ground without retreating even half a step.

His eyes instantly turned as deep as an abyss.

A chill, far surpassing that of the Extreme North Ice Plains, suddenly detonated outward with him at the center.

"If you want to die, I will grant your wish."

A clear, high-pitched phoenix cry instantly pierced the night sky.

Behind Xue Tianyu, the phantom of a massive Ice Phoenix spread its wings and soared into the air.

At the same time, an Ice Heaven Snow Lotus radiating endless cold air bloomed quietly beneath his feet.

Twin Martial Souls unleashed!

The absolute pressure of the Ultimate Ice collided fiercely with the aura of Zhao Wuji's Vajra Bear.

A series of deafening air explosions erupted in the atmosphere.

Ripples of visible cold air swept madly outward in circles.

The towering trees nearby were instantly frozen into crystal-clear ice sculptures.

Following that, six soul rings of varying colors rose slowly from beneath Xue Tianyu's feet.

Black, black, black, black, black...

And that dark red soul ring radiating terrifying fluctuations!

On the dark red soul ring, complex and ancient ice-blue dragon patterns flickered with a heart-stopping, eerie light.

A hundred-thousand-year soul ring!

The blinding red light appeared exceptionally demonic in the pitch-black night.

That god-level aura, which stood above all living things, instantly caused the air in the entire valley to solidify.

Zhao Wuji, who had been charging, suddenly stiffened.

Due to inertia, his bulky body plowed two deep trenches into the ground.

His bloodshot eyes widened like copper bells, his eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets.

He stared at that dark red soul ring radiating terrifying majesty, his brain suffering a momentary shutdown.

A sense of life-and-death crisis, unlike anything he had ever felt, surged from his spine straight to his crown.

A hundred-thousand-year soul ring!

How could this be possible!

How could a teenage boy possess such a priceless treasure that only existed in legends!

What was even more absurd was that this kid's first five soul rings were all of the ten-thousand-year level!

What kind of monstrous configuration was this!

Even those long-renowned Titled Douluo might not be able to produce such a terrifying soul ring ratio!

Just what kind of freak had Boss Fu provoked this time!

However, before Zhao Wuji could recover from his extreme shock, Xue Tianyu had already slowly raised his right hand.

A flicker of ice-blue light danced frantically on his fingertips, compressing at high speed.

Terrifying extreme cold energy gathered in his palm, causing the surrounding space to slightly distort and warp under the pressure of this power.

"So, it's a Vajra Bear, is it?"

Xue Tianyu's voice was as calm as water, yet it radiated the absolute dominance of one who held the power of life and death.

"I'd like to see just how hard your bones really are!"

Before the words had even faded.

His figure instantly transformed into a streak of ice-blue light, charging head-on toward the massive Zhao Wuji.

The speed was pushed to the extreme, carving a long, bone-chilling trail of frost through the air.

Frost Sword Qi condensed in his palm into a sharp, tangible blade of ice.

Carrying the surging soul power of a level 60 Soul Emperor, it pointed directly at Zhao Wuji's throat!

Feeling the lethal threat that seemed capable of freezing his very soul.

Every hair on Zhao Wuji's body stood on end, and his scalp went numb.

His survival instinct jolted him awake from his shock in an instant.

"Get lost!"

Zhao Wuji's eyes turned blood-red as he desperately channeled the soul power within him.

His second soul ring flared brilliantly!

Second Soul Skill: Vajra Palm!

He gathered all his strength into his palms, carrying the terrifying power to split mountains and shatter rocks, and slammed them toward the approaching streak of ice-blue light!

Hearing Xue Tianyu's nonchalant mockery, Zhao Wuji felt as if his lungs were about to explode.

As a dignified level 76 Soul Saint and the Immovable Wisdom King who could walk sideways through the soul master world, he was being humiliated to his face by a teenager.

"Arrogant!"

Zhao Wuji roared repeatedly, his second soul ring flashing wildly.

His palms, carrying the terrifying power to split mountains and shatter rocks, met the incoming streak of ice-blue light head-on.

"Bang!"

The moment fist met palm, the earth-shattering roar he expected did not occur.

Instead, there was a piercing, grating sound of freezing.

Zhao Wuji felt his palms jolt violently as a coldness akin to absolute zero surged through his palms and frantically burrowed into his body.

His Vajra Palm, capable of smashing small hills, struck Xue Tianyu's Frost Sword Qi as if he had slapped a piece of ten-thousand-year black iron that could not be shaken.

Zhao Wuji's bloodshot eyes widened into perfect circles.

His pride and joy, the brilliant golden Immovable Wisdom King body, began to freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A thick layer of frost climbed rapidly up his arms, slowing the circulation of his soul power to a crawl.

"How is this possible!"

Zhao Wuji roared frantically in his heart, his rugged face filled with horror.

He was a Soul Saint who possessed both strength and defense!

This kid before him had clearly just obtained his sixth soul ring; how could he possibly possess such an exaggerated suppressive force?

Xue Tianyu gave his wrist, holding the ice blade, a slight twist.

With a crisp "crack."

The surging soul power contained within the sword qi poured out like a bursting dam.

Zhao Wuji's massive frame was forcibly sent flying backward by the sheer force of the blow.

His granite-like legs carved two deep trenches over ten meters long into the ground before he could barely steady his footing.

"Is that all the strength you have?"

Xue Tianyu stood holding the Frost Sword Qi, red light swirling around him, his tone carrying a hint of indifference.

"It seems the title of Immovable Wisdom King is quite inflated."

Zhao Wuji gritted his teeth, feeling his arms ache with numbness.

They were already covered in a layer of deep blue frost, and even his bones throbbed with stinging pain.

He shook his hands violently, attempting to use his soul power to dispel the bone-chilling cold.

However, he discovered that the cold air was like a maggot on a rotting bone, clinging to his meridians and impossible to dissolve.

The tyranny of Ultimate Ice made this unbridled Soul Saint feel deep fear for the first time.

Ice Emperor stood on a nearby treetop, arms crossed, looking down at the scene from above.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with mockery.

"Big clumsy bear, this Empress advises you to just lie down and admit defeat."

"My Tianyu is in a decent mood right now; he might even leave you with a whole corpse."

"If you annoy him, you won't even get the chance to become an ice sculpture; you'll be turned into a pile of ice shards instantly."

Listening to Ice Emperor's grating mockery, Zhao Wuji felt a surge of blood rush straight to his head.

As a dignified Soul Saint, he was actually being pointed at and called a big clumsy bear by a woman.

"Stop spouting nonsense from the sidelines!"

Zhao Wuji roared, suddenly straightening his back.

He stared at the dark red hundred-thousand-year soul ring at Xue Tianyu's feet, jealousy and shock intertwining wildly in his eyes.

"Kid, I admit you are a peerless genius."

"This hundred-thousand-year soul ring truly gave me a fright."

"But after all, you are only a six-ring Soul Emperor!"

Zhao Wuji's broad chest heaved violently as the seven soul rings on his body shone brightly once more.

"Even if I have to risk my life today, I will strangle you here!"

"Otherwise, once you grow up, will our Shrek Academy even have a way to survive?"

Hearing this shameless rhetoric, Xue Tianyu immediately scoffed.

"Do all you people at Shrek Academy suffer from persecution delusions?"

"It was clearly you who provoked this first, and Tang San was taught a lesson because his skills were inferior; now you're blaming me instead?"

"You can't win, so you send the old ones out to intercept and kill, yet you make it sound so high and mighty."

Xue Tianyu stepped forward, the Frost Sword Qi in his hand pointing directly at Zhao Wuji.

"Since you've rushed here to seek death today, I'll do a good deed and send you to meet the King of Hell."

These words were heart-piercing, directly tearing away the hypocritical veil of Shrek Academy.

Zhao Wuji's face turned livid, and the brown fur on his body stood up like steel needles.

"Enough talk!"

"In this world, strength is the only hard truth!"

"Third Soul Skill, Gravity Enhancement!"

The third purple soul ring at Zhao Wuji's feet suddenly shone.

A massive pressure, heavy as a mountain, instantly descended upon the area where Xue Tianyu stood.

The ground for dozens of meters around collapsed with a boom, and the trees were snapped instantly by this invisible, crushing weight.

As long as one was within this gravity field, the opponent's body would become as heavy as if filled with lead, making movement incredibly sluggish.

Watching Xue Tianyu enveloped in the gravity field, a sinister smile finally appeared on Zhao Wuji's face.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Position Tracking!"

Without giving Xue Tianyu any chance to breathe, Zhao Wuji immediately lit up his fourth soul ring.

A golden light shot out from his body, as if it had eyes, heading straight for the center of Xue Tianyu's brow.

Once locked on by this golden light, Zhao Wuji's subsequent attacks would be like maggots on a bone, never missing their mark.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Gravity Squeeze!"

Zhao Wuji did not let up, his pitch-black fifth soul ring blooming with dazzling light once again.

The pressure within the gravity field increased several times over in an instant.

The air from all directions became like solid walls, squeezing toward Xue Tianyu frantically.

This set of near-perfect combos was the trump card Zhao Wuji had long been famous for.

He was confident that even if Xue Tianyu had a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, he would be unable to escape under the absolute gap in rank and this triple control.

However.

Facing this overwhelming offensive, Xue Tianyu remained standing in place, not even lifting an eyelid.

"You bring out such amateur juggling to embarrass yourself?"

His cold voice echoed through the valley.

The next moment, the Ice Heaven Snow Lotus at Xue Tianyu's feet suddenly bloomed with blinding light.

Extreme cold swept out in all directions, centered on him.

Those gravity forces attempting to crush his body were instantly frozen in the face of this extreme cold storm!

Even the invisible gravitational magnetic field was forcibly frozen into white frost mist by the Ultimate Ice.

The sinister smile on Zhao Wuji's face froze instantly.

His Gravity Enhancement and Gravity Squeeze, which he took such pride in, were completely useless against the youth before him.

That golden tracking light, which was supposed to lock onto Xue Tianyu, was deflected by an impenetrable ice shield before it could even get within three feet, dissipating into specks of starlight.

"Are you finished with your tricks?"

Xue Tianyu raised his head, his deep, profound eyes devoid of even a shred of warmth.

"Now, it is my turn."

As soon as the words fell.

The phantom of the Ice Phoenix behind Xue Tianyu let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering cry.

A pair of massive ice-crystal wings unfurled violently behind his back.

With just a gentle flap.

He transformed into a streak of blue and white light, ignoring all obstacles, and instantly appeared directly above Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji's heart gave a violent jolt, and every alarm bell in his body rang out frantically.

He felt a suffocating pressure descending from the sky above him.

Xue Tianyu looked down at him from above, the fifth ten-thousand-year spirit ring on his right arm suddenly blazing with light.

"Fifth Spirit Skill, Ice Phoenix Cloud-Piercing Kill!"

The wind and snow filling the sky condensed frantically in mid-air.

A massive Ice Phoenix, formed entirely of solidified ice, took shape, carrying a terrifying power capable of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth as it dove toward Zhao Wuji below.

"Roar!"

Facing this lethal strike, Zhao Wuji let out a hysterical, wild roar.

He knew he absolutely could not dodge this blow; he had no choice but to take it head-on!

He crossed his arms to protect his chest, pushing the Immovable Wisdom King body to its absolute limit.

"Boom!"

The Ice Phoenix slammed fiercely into Zhao Wuji's defense.

Violent ripples of energy exploded instantly, uprooting the trees within dozens of meters and turning them into clouds of dust.

The ice-blue storm completely swallowed Zhao Wuji's massive frame.

It took a full half-minute for the storm to gradually subside.

A massive ice crater with a diameter of over twenty meters appeared in the center of the valley.

Zhao Wuji knelt on one knee at the bottom of the pit, gasping for air in large gulps.

The brilliant golden light on his body had dimmed to nothing.

His tough brown fur was covered in ice shards, and his skin was torn in many places by the terrifying sword qi of the Ice Phoenix, leaking crimson blood.

But as soon as that blood surged out, it was instantly frozen into blood-red ice beads by the extreme cold.

"Cough, cough..."

Zhao Wuji coughed violently twice, spitting out a large mouthful of stagnant blood mixed with ice shards.

He stared at Xue Tianyu, who was hovering in mid-air, his eyes finally revealing a deep sense of fear.

"What... what kind of monster is this!"

He, a level 76 Spirit Saint, was actually being beaten by a level 60 Spirit Emperor with no power to fight back.

The opponent hadn't even used his sixth spirit ring!

"I refuse to accept this!"

"I don't believe that today, I can't kill you, you little brat!"

Zhao Wuji's eyes instantly turned blood-red, revealing a madness born of a desperate, do-or-die struggle.

If he couldn't kill Xue Tianyu today, he would never make it out of this Sunset Forest alive.

To survive, and for the sake of Shrek's reputation, he had no choice but to stake his life on this.

The seventh spirit ring, black as ink, finally rose slowly from beneath Zhao Wuji's feet.

The moment this spirit ring appeared, the aura that had been wilting on Zhao Wuji's body surged wildly, like a volcanic eruption.
