Currently, in an open space within the Star Dou Great Forest, Long Aotian was still being passively beaten, bleeding continuously.
Soul Masters of the Assault type, focused on power, aimed to seize an opportunity and finish their opponent, giving them no chance. Yu Daoyun attacked Long Aotian in precisely this manner.
As long as the opponent didn't beg for mercy, he would continue fighting until they did.
Within just a few dozen exchanges, Long Aotian was beaten to a bloody pulp, and several sections of the rock face behind him were blasted apart. However, relying on the healing advantage of his Body Sect martial soul, he managed to hold on for so long.
"Too terrifying. I have a new understanding of Yu Daoyun's explosive power and strength. This guy has become even more like a humanoid Fierce Beast."
Dai Yueheng watched Long Aotian being beaten, seemingly recalling the time he was punched into the infirmary.
Ma Xiaotao clicked her tongue in amazement, "If this guy got close to me, I'd probably be subjected to a beating too. Such terrifying strength!"
Ling Luochen coldly sneered, "You'd better not let him get close. Your Soul Power Level is high, but if he catches an opening, you'll be finished just the same. You have no idea how terrifying these power-type Soul Masters are."
"As if you could take a few hits," Ma Xiaotao immediately retorted, showing no respect for Ling Luochen.
Ling Luochen said calmly, "I never claimed I could defeat him. It's just that some people don't understand their own positioning. Evil Fire is still Evil Fire; no matter how powerful, it will be suppressed by a True Dragon."
"You..."
Ma Xiaotao was so angered she gritted her teeth, wanting to rush over and tear Ling Luochen's mouth apart.
At this moment, Han Ruoruo stepped in to end the dispute between the two women, saying, "Forget it, forget it. We're all on different paths, and cultivation isn't easy. Don't fight to the death."
Ma Xiaotao snorted, "You're not even Extreme Ice, so why are you acting tough in front of me?"
Ling Luochen shot back, "A rotten orange is still a rotten orange."
While the two women were locked in a verbal sparring match, a drastic change occurred within the Body Sect's group.
The disciples of the Body Sect had their Dao hearts shattered.
The most talented senior disciple of the Body Sect was being beaten by a child from Shrek with no ability to fight back, only able to endure the blows.
This made them begin to doubt if the Body Sect martial soul was truly that strong.
Princess Veena anxiously shouted, "Sect Master, Aotian is about to be beaten to death."
She was worried about the safety of her admirer, fearing Long Aotian would be killed.
"I know..."
Poison Undying sighed, cast a reluctant glance at the Soul Bone, and shouted to Long Aotian, "Aotian, surrender!"
"I refuse!!"
Long Aotian gritted his teeth and protested loudly.
However, his only response was a fist like a dragon's claw.
Just as Yu Daoyun prepared to strike again, Poison Undying flashed in front of Long Aotian, raising his hand to block the punch and said, "Alright, Aotian surrenders."
At the same time, he silently made an assessment in his heart: this kid's strength could probably kill a high-level Soul King.
Long Aotian slowly raised his blood-stained face and trembled, "Sect Master..."
Poison Undying smiled, "It's alright, you didn't disgrace the sect. You're a man with spirit. I was afraid you'd die, so I surrendered on your behalf."
Long Aotian climbed out of the pit, a warm current flowing through his heart.
The Sect Master hadn't blamed him but instead acknowledged the strength of that brute, Yu Daoyun.
Next time, he vowed, he would definitely defeat him.
At this moment, Poison Undying took out the prize from earlier and handed the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone to Yu Daoyun, evaluating, "I must admit, you are indeed excellent. Your strength is more terrifying than I imagined. Aotian is truly no match for you."
"I've always been a good sport, so this Soul Bone is yours."
"However, I believe that one day, Aotian will catch up to you. I hope you won't disappoint me when that time comes."
The last sentence was spoken by Poison Undying to Long Aotian.
He didn't want the sect's senior disciple to be unable to overcome this setback, and he hoped Long Aotian would learn from this lesson and become stronger.
Although Poison Undying looked down on Mu En, he didn't want the grudges of the older generation to involve these young people.
Yu Daoyun, holding the Soul Bone, returned to his team and smiled, "I'll be waiting for that day."
At this moment, Yan Shaozhe chuckled, "Senior, your disciple seems to be not very capable. You'll have to train harder when you go back! I'll be taking these children back to the academy now."
At this moment, as the Dean of the Martial Soul Department, he felt extremely satisfied.
Did the power of the Martial Soul Department need further proof?
Yu Daoyun had defeated the strongest disciple of the Body Sect in just a few moves, proving everything with his strength.
Yan Shaozhe even wanted to say that he had cultivated the strongest Golden Dragon Soul Master. Although it had little to do with him, Yu Daoyun was a disciple of the Martial Soul Department, so he could take credit.
Poison Undying waved his hand and said faintly, "Farewell!"
The Shrek group left the Star Dou Great Forest in a grand procession, leaving the Body Sect in disarray.
At this moment, Princess Veena was hurriedly bandaging Long Aotian's wounds.
Seeing her beloved beaten so badly, tears streamed down her face. No one around spoke, and the atmosphere of the entire group was very somber.
Poison Undying looked at these children and sighed softly in his heart.
This time, I really took a tumble, running into Shrek's strongest students in centuries.
Yu Daoyun's talent could leave Ma Xiaotao far behind.
The most pressing matter now was to comfort the disciples.
Poison Undying immediately said, "Aotian, don't be afraid of losing. No one can hold the throne of king forever. Those who come later always have a chance. You just need to cultivate diligently, and you will eventually catch up."
"And it's the same for all of you children. Don't doubt your Martial Souls, because the Body Martial Soul has no limits."
Long Aotian clenched his fists and replied, "Sect Master, I won't be afraid. The next time we meet, I will challenge that guy again."
The Body Sect disciples behind him also spoke in unison, not discouraged.
Princess Veena wiped her tears and said with a smile, "Aotian, I believe you can definitely keep pace with that guy."
The heavy stone in Poison Undying's heart was lifted.
These children were not only not discouraged but had become even more united, which was a good thing for the Body Sect.
Sooner or later, the Body Sect would rise...
Shrek Academy.
After the Soul Hunting Squad returned, Yan Shaozhe rushed into the Sea God Pavilion, intending to report the news of Yu Daoyun defeating the Body Sect's strongest disciple, Long Aotian, to Elder Mu.
This was the first time Shrek had stood tall in recent years, and it was right in front of Poison Undying.
Elder Mu would surely be very happy if he knew.
The Soul Hunting Squad disbanded on the spot.
Ma Xiaotao had to rush back to suppress her Evil Fire due to her Martial Soul, fearing it would act up.
Ling Luochen didn't want to help Ma Xiaotao suppress her Evil Fire and turned back to continue cultivating.
A best friend's boat can capsize just like that; it's very common among women.
The rest of them went back to their own affairs, only Zhang Lexuan was kept behind by Yu Daoyun.
Zhang Lexuan blinked her beautiful eyes, her eyebrows curving into crescent moons, and asked, "Junior Disciple, do you have something to tell your Senior Sister? But I must remind you, you're too young to think about things like love; that's for the future."
At the same time, Zhang Lexuan added in her heart: If you were to confess to your Senior Sister, I would definitely agree, after all, you are my Child Groom.
