Next time, I'll take Breath of the Angel for a spin around the Sun Moon Empire (Seeking recommendation tickets, seeking follow-up reads)

As Ye Que's fourth soul ring lit up, the sky abruptly changed color and the ground began to rumble. Golden energy coalesced into the phantom of an Angel God as a wild gale suddenly whipped up.

The clock behind Ye Que spun, and the Ultimate Fire splashed outward.

"What the..."

Ye Wuqing's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Damn it, this wide-range attack soul skill again? This guy is too shameless.

But cursing was one thing; his speed was anything but slow as he scrambled to escape in every direction.

Shangguan Can and Tang Xiaolei were even faster than Ye Wuqing, using their soul skills to parry while sprinting across the ground, desperate to break free from the lock-on of the Breath of the Angel.

Yu Mengdi remained much calmer, drawing her sword to hold before her and releasing her soul power to form a protective shield.

The Ultimate attribute of the Six-Winged Angel was powerful indeed, but as an Angel soul master herself, the damage she took from the Breath of the Angel was significantly reduced, sparing her from the undignified scrambling of the others.

Pop, pop, pop—!

Bolts of Ultimate Fire struck the group one after another.

Ye Wuqing had been able to defend at first, but after several rounds of attacks, he was completely helpless. His Golden Leaf was burned to ashes, leaving him with nothing but his underwear intact.

He was broken—completely broken.

This soul skill of Ye Que's was an ultra-wide-range ability; as long as one remained within the domain, they would be subjected to indiscriminate attacks from the Ultimate Fire, unless they could maintain an invincible shield until the skill ended.

However, the duration of this soul skill seemed a bit long.

By the time Ye Que's skill ended, they were practically half-dead.

The Six-Winged Angel was truly the bane of Evil Soul Masters; any Evil Soul Master who could survive the end of this skill was a powerhouse among powerhouses.

A minute later, Ye Que's fourth soul skill concluded. He descended slowly from mid-air, wearing a smug expression.

The reason he was so smug was that, with the exception of Yu Mengdi, the others had all been reduced to muscular men in nothing but their briefs.

Ye Que said to Ye Wuqing, "Senior Ye is truly worthy of a top-tier plant-type martial soul; your strength is truly admirable."

Ye Wuqing's face was dark as he replied, "That's only because you weren't going all out. You were just playing with us; otherwise, who could have held out for so long?"

"Still... this soul skill of yours is truly too heaven-defying. It shouldn't be used to fight us."

Ye Que raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does Senior have a better suggestion for my training?"

Ye Wuqing pointed toward the direction of the Sun Moon Empire and said in a deep voice, "Such a powerful soul skill shouldn't be enjoyed by us alone. You should take this fourth soul skill and go for a stroll through the nest of the Evil Soul Masters. Whether it's those dark-skinned Sun Moon Empire people or the powerful Evil Soul Masters, send them all to meet their ancestors."

"It's a total waste not to take this soul skill for a spin in the Sun Moon Empire."

Ye Que was stunned for a moment, then exchanged a look with Ye Wuqing, revealing a conspiratorial smile. "You really do understand me. I actually did have that thought, but unfortunately... my strength is too weak right now. I'll put that idea into practice in the future."

He suddenly remembered that Ye Guyi was still in the Sun Moon Empire; he could go there to pick her up and incidentally wipe out the Evil Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire.

Ye Wuqing silently broke into a cold sweat for the Evil Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire.

This is your true daddy right here.

Shortly after, Guangyu Douluo stepped forward, glanced at the three grown men in nothing but their underwear, and couldn't help but burst into uproarious laughter.

"Hahaha, four against one and you still lost? I'm dying of laughter..."

Ye Wuqing's mouth twitched.

Shangguan Can stood there with his mouth agape, drooling, his sea of consciousness having suffered heavy damage.

Tang Xiaolei was filled with immense shame.

Guangyu Douluo laughed for a good while before coughing. "Alright, it's normal that you couldn't win. Even if the geniuses of Shrek came, they might not necessarily be the Young Master's match."

"However, punishment is still necessary. Go back, change your clothes, and start training hard. From now on, you will come for battles like this every day."

What?

Hearing that they would be abused every day, Ye Wuqing and the others groaned inwardly.

What kind of heaven-defying matchmaking system was this?

Especially Shangguan Can, who was already drooling after this one battle—if they did this a few more times, wouldn't he turn into an idiot?

Ye Wuqing said bitterly, "Senior Guangyu, we are actually very passionate about theoretical studies. Besides, I haven't taken my theory exams from last semester yet; I really must attend them."

Tang Xiaolei added, "Me too, me too."

Shangguan Can just kept drooling, saying nothing.

Yu Mengdi sheathed her Holy Dual Swords, unable to hold back a laugh.

Ye Que bared his teeth and smiled. "Senior, I was holding back. I was holding back just now, and fighting you was truly a hearty experience."

"I still have exams..."

Ye Wuqing shot him a sidelong glance, his mouth twitching.

Who wants to have a 'hearty' battle with you freaks from the Angel Family? Isn't that just asking to be abused?

If you're full, go find some Evil Soul Masters! They're the ones who are innocent.

"Shut up!"

Guangyu Douluo was rarely moved to anger, but he scolded Ye Wuqing and the others, saying, "Stop feeding the old man that nonsense about loving to study. I never see you putting this much effort into your theory classes, so why are you suddenly acting scared now?"

"Let me tell you little brats, you are all teammates for the young master in this tournament. Whoever drags their feet, I will personally double your training when we get back."

"For this tournament, your Zhengtian Academy is aiming for the championship. You must ruthlessly trample that damned Shrek Academy under your feet."

Ye Wuqing's body trembled as he replied, "Yes!"

The other three also expressed their stance, vowing never to back down.

Ye Que felt invigorated, and the sword in his hand grew restless with anticipation.

Shortly after, the team dispersed. Ye Que cured the aftereffects of Shangguan Can's drooling, and Ye Wuqing took his good brothers to change their clothes, planning to return and ruthlessly drill Ye Que.

Over the following month.

Ye Que continuously honed his swordsmanship and tempered his soul skills. When he had free time, he would consume Whale Rubber and cultivation resources to supplement his progress, and his cultivation speed gradually accelerated.

At Zhengtian Academy, he could cultivate with single-minded focus, unlike those at Shrek who were brainwashed every day and burdened with the ten-thousand-year glory of Shrek.

Ye Que lived quite freely, bearing only the hopes of the Angel Clan on his shoulders.

Although a God King was watching from above, the God King likely had no time to concern himself with him, as the Child of Destiny for this era was Huo Yuhao, and he had not chosen to intercept Huo Yuhao's opportunities.

Whether it was the second martial soul or Tian Meng, neither held any use for him.

Electrolux and Snow Empress were a bit of a pity.

The former could forge super divine artifacts, while the latter was simply ill-fated.

Ye Que immediately cast aside these distracting thoughts and continued his cultivation.

Ye Wuqing and the others suffered inhuman abuse, howling in pain every single day.

On the weekend, the training for Ye Que and the others concluded. Guangyu Douluo gave a few instructions before leaving Zhengtian Academy, using the excuse of picking up an old friend.

At the same time, he gave the little ones a break.

Ye Que and the others walked out of the school gates, breathing in the fresh air and feeling an unprecedented sense of relaxation as their tense nerves finally began to unwind.

Ye Que's soul power had risen to level 46.

He had gained two levels during this period, which was a decent speed.

Due to his Ultimate Martial Soul, his cultivation speed was not particularly fast.

Beside him, Shangguan Can shouted, "I've been drooling for a month, but I'm finally cured! It turns out that what I yearned for wasn't becoming a powerhouse, but becoming an ordinary person."

Ye Que smiled slightly but said nothing.

Ye Wuqing shook his head.

The intensity of the special training had been too high, causing mental issues for the children, who had been drooling every single day.

However, they were much better now; at most, they only drooled for an hour.
