What Kind of Super Douluo Doesn't Have a Single Red Soul Ring?

"Boom—!!!"

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out.

Crimson Dragon True Fire and Phoenix Fire collided violently in midair!

Terrifying Soul Power fluctuations spread wildly in every direction like a tsunami. The towering trees within several dozen meters were instantly reduced to ashes by the blast of heat!

A golden figure paused slightly in midair before sliding back dozens of meters, barely managing to steady himself.

Yan Shaozhe felt his blood and qi surge in his chest. The disdain in his eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by undisguised shock.

"How... how is this possible?!"

He stared fixedly at the unmoving red-haired brute across from him, a storm raging in his heart.

He was a level ninety-five Super Douluo, and he possessed a top-tier martial soul—the Radiant Phoenix!

Though that attack just now had only been his fourth soul skill, it was still not something an ordinary Title Douluo could casually withstand.

Yet this crude, reckless brute before him had not only blocked it, but seemed to have even overpowered him in terms of strength?!

"Who are you?!"

Yan Shaozhe shouted sharply, his expression more grave than ever before.

"I've never heard of anyone like you!"

"Who am I?"

Zhuo Shi rolled his neck, producing a series of crackling pops, and a savage grin appeared on his face.

"I'm your damn ancestor!"

"Is that all the strength you've got? It's not even enough to scratch my itch!"

"Again!!"

Before his words had even faded, Zhuo Shi turned into a crimson afterimage once more and charged forward with even greater ferocity!

"Sixth Soul Skill, Crimson Dragon Sky-Rending Claw!!!"

An enormous flaming dragon claw condensed out of thin air and tore toward Yan Shaozhe's face with the force to rend the heavens!

"Arrogant!"

Yan Shaozhe's fury was ignited as well.

"Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"

"Sixth Soul Skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower!!!"

The two terrifying figures clashed in the air once again, every collision causing heaven and earth to change color!

On the ground.

Watching the two superpowerhouses battle furiously in midair, as though they were about to tear apart the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, Bei Bei and Tang Ya were frantic as ants on a hot pan.

"Teacher Shen! Teacher Shen!"

Covered in sweat, Bei Bei rushed before Shen Yi, his voice filled with urgency.

"Please make them stop!"

"This... this is all a misunderstanding!"

"That is Yan Shaozhe, dean of the Spirit Department at our Shrek Academy. We didn't mean to provoke you. Our Sea God Pavilion Master wanted to befriend you!"

If anything happened to Yan Shaozhe here, or if that red-haired brute was injured, then this grudge would truly be impossible to resolve!

However.

Faced with Bei Bei's panic, Shen Yi remained exceptionally calm.

She still sat behind the table, even leisurely smoothing the bangs that the wind had tousled, her signature gentle smile still on her face.

"No need to rush."

Shen Yi waved her hand and said with a smile.

"Teacher usually stays at the academy, so he rarely gets the chance to stretch his limbs."

"It's not often that he encounters a halfway decent opponent. Let the old man have some fun."

"But..."

Tang Ya looked at the constantly exploding flames in the sky, her heart pounding with fear.

"This is far too dangerous..."

"And with such a huge commotion here, what if it attracts the fierce beasts in the Star Dou Forest?"

"Don't worry. Teacher knows his limits."

Shen Yi turned and pointed at the crowd gathering in the distance.

"Besides, look."

"This commotion is perfect publicity for us."

"Haven't we already attracted plenty of people?"

Bei Bei and Tang Ya followed the direction of Shen Yi's finger.

Sure enough.

Because the battle between the two Super Douluos was so tremendous, nearby soul masters had all gathered around. One after another, they raised their heads and stared wide-eyed at the fierce battle overhead.

"My god! Is that... a battle at the Title Douluo level?!"

"What a terrifying aura! That golden phoenix... could it be the legendary Dean Yan of Shrek Academy?"

"Who is that red-haired old man? He's actually suppressing Dean Yan?!"

"So powerful! This is practically a battle between immortals!"

Listening to the surrounding discussions, the smile on Shen Yi's lips grew even wider.

"See? This is the best recruitment advertisement."

"Once they see the strength of Shrek Academy's teachers, are we really going to have to worry about not getting students?"

Bei Bei: "..."

Tang Ya: "..."

So you were treating this as a recruitment tactic too?!

But...

Bei Bei looked up at Yan Shaozhe, who was gradually falling into a disadvantage, and the unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Though Dean Yan was a Super Douluo with formidable strength.

For some reason, whenever he looked at that red-haired old man—Shen Yi's teacher, Zhuo Shi—Bei Bei felt that the other man had yet to use his full strength.

Earlier, Ye Xinglan had comprehended the unity of man and sword with only two soul rings, defeating both him and Tang Ya.

As Ye Xinglan's teacher, Shen Yi's strength was unfathomable.

And this Zhuo Shi was Shen Yi's teacher...

Just how powerful did that make him?!

It's over...

Bei Bei wailed inwardly.

Dean Yan isn't really going to lose, is he?

If the dean of Shrek Academy is defeated in public...

Shrek Academy's reputation will be ruined.

In midair.

"Bang!!!"

Another violent collision erupted.

Yan Shaozhe groaned and was hurled backward, a streak of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth!

Several places on his clothes had already been burned black, and his hair was disheveled. He looked thoroughly bedraggled.

Zhuo Shi, on the other hand, still appeared calm and unhurried. Even his breathing had not been disturbed in the slightest.

Hovering in the air with his arms folded, Zhuo Shi wore a face full of mockery.

"That's all you've got?"

"You can't even take thirty percent of my strength, and you call yourself Shrek?"

"You!!!"

Yan Shaozhe felt fury shoot straight to the top of his head. His lungs were about to explode with rage.

Thirty percent?!

This bastard had actually said he was only using thirty percent of his strength?!

What an utter humiliation!

"Fine! Very well!"

Yan Shaozhe wiped the blood from his mouth, his gaze turning icy.

"I wanted to leave you some dignity."

"But since you refuse to appreciate my kindness, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

"I'll let you see what a true Super Douluo is!"

Boom—!!!

Yan Shaozhe stopped holding back. The Soul Power within him erupted without reserve!

Two yellow, two purple, five black!

Nine soul rings slowly rose from beneath his feet.

The full might of a Super Douluo erupted!

"So this is... Dean Yan's true strength!"

The crowd below cried out in shock.

"Nine soul rings! A level ninety-five Super Douluo!"

"Too powerful!"

Feeling the surging power within his body, Yan Shaozhe regained his confidence and looked down at Zhuo Shi from above.

However.

Zhuo Shi laughed in the face of Yan Shaozhe's aura.

His laugh was filled with utter disdain.

"That's it?"

"This is your trump card?"

Zhuo Shi shook his head, the ridicule in his eyes growing even stronger.

"What a... pitifully weak thing."

"Since you treasure that junk so much, I'll let you see what real soul rings look like!"

As his words fell.

Zhuo Shi suddenly stepped forward.

"Buzz—!!!"

A fierce, baleful aura abruptly erupted from Zhuo Shi's body!

Then.

Before everyone's horrified eyes, nine soul rings slowly rose from beneath Zhuo Shi's feet!

Three purple, three black, three red!

The instant those three blood-red soul rings, representing one hundred thousand years of cultivation, appeared, everyone present froze!

"This... this..."

Yan Shaozhe's expression completely stiffened.

His eyes widened.

"Th-three hundred-thousand-year soul rings?!"

"His first soul ring is already a thousand-year one?!"

"How is that possible?!"

It was not only Yan Shaozhe.

Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and every soul master watching below were all stunned senseless.

They felt as though their minds were no longer capable of processing this.

Even if a god from the God Realm descended to the mortal world, they might not possess such a soul ring configuration?!

"This... this has to be an illusion, right?"

Bei Bei viciously pinched his own thigh until he bared his teeth in pain, yet he would rather believe he was dreaming.

How could anyone in this world possibly endure such a soul ring configuration?!

"This is the difference between us."

Zhuo Shi looked coldly at Yan Shaozhe, who had been completely dumbfounded. The three hundred-thousand-year soul rings around him radiated a bloody light.

"The warm-up is over."

"Kid, don't act tough in front of the real Shrek."

Zhuo Shi slowly raised his right hand. In his palm, crimson flames instantly condensed into a miniature sun that seemed capable of incinerating all things!

"Eighth Soul Skill, Red Dragon Burning Heaven Silence!!!"

Rumble—

That crimson fireball did not fly forth. Instead, with a punch from Zhuo Shi, it transformed into a terrifying fire dragon hundreds of meters long and instantly swallowed Yan Shaozhe!

"No—!!!"

Yan Shaozhe let out a terrified scream and desperately tried to gather his Soul Power to defend himself.

But the instant it met Zhuo Shi's soul skill, his defense collapsed completely!

"Puh—"

Yan Shaozhe sprayed blood wildly. Like a kite with its string cut, he was smashed heavily into the ground by that punch!

BOOM!!!

The ground shook violently, and a bottomless crater appeared before everyone.

As the dust settled,

Yan Shaozhe, who had been so arrogant moments ago, now lay at the bottom of the crater, his entire body charred black. His limbs twitched as his eyes rolled back, and he had completely lost consciousness.

One move!

Just one move!

Super Douluo Yan Shaozhe had been defeated!

The entire venue fell deathly silent.
