The next moment, the two figures collided.
Amid flashing light, Dai Yueheng was suddenly forced back.
When he regained his footing, his face was as pale as paper, and his abdomen was covered in blood.
"Junior Ye, you're very strong. I have to admit that."
"Next, I'll be getting serious."
"I'm also curious—what exactly is your fifth soul skill?"
At this moment, there was no longer any admiration in Dai Yueheng's eyes, only fear of death.
It was not as though he had never fought Ye Guyi before. He had even endured her fourth soul skill head-on.
He acknowledged the power of Ye Guyi's fourth soul skill, but she had never displayed anything like this before—breaking through all his defenses at once with the intent to take his life.
He had never expected her to have concealed herself so deeply. She had held back in their previous battles.
Compared to that, he was even more curious about the fifth soul skill she had always kept hidden, and just how powerful it was.
Today, he truly wanted to see it for himself.
"Sixth Soul Skill, White Tiger Destruction Kill!"
This was the most powerful soul skill Dai Yueheng currently possessed. His right fist condensed and compressed a phantom White Tiger, creating a single-target burst with formidable offensive and defensive power.
Facing such a ferocious strike, Ye Guyi stood her ground without dodging, nor did she use her fifth soul skill.
Her fifth soul skill was immensely powerful, but its restrictions were equally severe.
Once used, it required a full month of cooldown. Unless she had no other choice, she would not use it lightly.
The next moment, an austere, murderous aura erupted from Ye Guyi, and she changed completely.
At that moment, she no longer seemed like a holy angel, but a judgment angel intent on slaughtering every evil in the world.
"Sword of Evil Extermination!"
This was a self-created combat technique, one A-Que had helped guide and perfect.
In a sense, it was even more powerful than Mu En's Sovereign of the World.
This sword not only fused her Soul Power and spiritual power into the longsword in her hand, but also fused her determination to eradicate all fallen soul masters from the world.
In the instant between heaven and earth, powerful spiritual power carried razor-sharp sword energy straight toward Dai Yueheng.
"This... Impossible. I can't defeat her! Run! I have to get away!"
Faced with this sword, Dai Yueheng instantly panicked.
He could sense that if he took this sword head-on, he would undoubtedly die.
The problem was that if he dodged this sword, it would leave a shadow over him for the rest of his life. No matter how high his future achievements, he would never be able to erase the shadow Ye Guyi's sword had left behind.
If he could not break free from this Nightmare, he would have no hope of becoming a Title Douluo in this life.
"Little girl, the punishment from this sword is too severe for him."
Xuan Zi, who had been watching from the side all along, finally could not restrain himself and intervened.
As a level-98 Title Douluo, he could clearly sense that the domineering will contained within Ye Guyi's sword was no weaker than that of his junior granduncle, Mu En.
Whether Dai Yueheng received the sword or not, he would be half-ruined.
Xuan Zi's intervention was merely meant to minimize the impact.
"If you dare say another unpleasant word about A-Que in the future, this sword will certainly fall."
Although Ye Guyi was displeased by Xuan Zi's sudden interference, she did not display any resentment toward a powerful expert. Her words were a warning to Dai Yueheng.
Dai Yueheng had repeatedly pursued and tested her, and had even secretly tried several times to drive a wedge between her and A-Que. He had thoroughly crossed Ye Guyi's bottom line.
To punish him, and to prove herself to A-Que, she had originally intended for this sword to cripple Dai Yueheng's path of cultivation.
Naturally, she did not mean crippling his body, but leaving an indelible mark upon his spiritual power and soul. Unless Dai Yueheng overcame it himself, he might never make progress again for the rest of his life.
Unexpectedly, Xuan Zi had suddenly stepped in to stop her.
"You don't need to prove anything to me. Just be yourself."
Ning Que, who had already recovered his Soul Power with a Milk Bottle, stepped forward and helped the somewhat weakened Ye Guyi up. He casually handed her a level-six Milk Bottle to restore her Soul Power.
Naturally, he was unhappy about Dai Yueheng, but he had not acted because he had other plans in mind.
"I just didn't want to hear him speak badly about you."
Ye Guyi smiled gently. They were already so familiar with each other that there was no need for any more words.
As for Dai Yueheng, he had already been helped away by the others.
His face was full of desolation, and he was still in a daze.
It was not just him. Ma Xiaotao, who had emerged from the ice, was also sitting nearby.
The moment she escaped the frozen seal, Ma Xiaotao had been deeply indignant and insisted on another round, only to be suppressed by a single sentence from senior sister Zhang Lexuan. "A loss is a loss. You lost because you were careless and underestimated your opponent. Don't you think you should be ashamed?"
After that, she did not continue making a fuss.
She truly did not dare challenge senior sister's authority.
This two-on-two match ended in victory for Ma Xiaotao and Ye Guyi's side.
However, everyone present could see that the true victors were only Ning Que and Ye Guyi.
Afterward, there were more battles.
Among these people, Ning Que had the best relationships with Chen Zifeng and Xi Xi.
Of course, this was also intentional on Ning Que's part.
At present, he was fifty percent confident that he could recruit those two into the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.
Of course, once Xuan Zi, the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder, began to act, he would be ninety percent confident that he could bring them in.
Other than them, only Ling Luochen still had any hope of being recruited.
As for the others, either their identities would not allow it, or they had long since lost themselves.
To be honest, Ning Que greatly admired Shrek's brainwashing abilities.
The entire Nine Treasures Glazed Sect was highly vigilant about this.
After all, it had already been proven ten thousand years ago.
When Ning Que and Ye Guyi had first planned to come to Shrek Academy, the sect elders and his father had been deeply worried, afraid that Shrek Academy would lure Ye Guyi away.
Yet Ning Que had been extremely confident.
The reason was that he possessed something even more invincible than Shrek's glory.
That was Ye Guyi's love-struck brain.
Shrek's glory was indeed remarkable, but on Douluo Continent, it still could not rival the buff known as a love-struck brain.
After the series of sparring matches ended, the students dispersed, and Ning Que returned to his residence to continue cultivating diligently.
Support System soul masters cultivated far too slowly, second only to those with ultimate attributes.
By his estimation, without relying on external assistance, breaking through two levels of Soul Power within a year would already be quite good.
A sixteen-year-old Support System Soul King was, in his opinion, truly a little too low.
The next day, just as he was preparing to go to the Soul Guidance Department to study his First Generation Fighter, the communication Soul Tool on his body lit up.
"The hundred-thousand-year gemstone-type soul bone we needed has been found."
The communication Soul Tool delivered only that brief sentence, yet Ning Que's eyes immediately lit up.
