Under everyone's watchful eyes, Dugu Bo led Shui Bing'er into the training grounds.

Dugu Bo wore a dark green robe, his gaze sharp and piercing. Wherever he passed, the crowd automatically parted to make way.

Shui Bing'er wore a long aqua-blue dress, her posture straight and her temperament cool and aloof.

The moment the two appeared, they immediately drew the attention of the entire venue.

"Wow~ She really is a beauty!"

Ma Hongjun's eyes went wide.

Dai Mubai was also briefly stunned, but he quickly regained his composure.

He looked at Shui Bing'er, his eyes growing more wary.

This girl was far too composed.

Faced with the gazes of thousands, there was not the slightest ripple in her eyes, nor was there any disorder in her steps.

If it had been Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, or Ning Rongrong, they definitely would not have been able to do this.

The instant Xiao Wu saw Dugu Bo, her body trembled uncontrollably.

Tang San noticed and asked softly, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"

"N-Nothing..."

Xiao Wu's voice trembled.

Tang San thought she was worried about the match.

"Don't worry. Boss Dai won't lose."

Xiao Wu forced a smile and said nothing more.

On the raised platform above the training grounds, the three education committee members had already taken their seats.

Meng Shenji watched Shui Bing'er approach at an unhurried pace and murmured, "This child... she has an extraordinary bearing."

Zhi Lin was still unconvinced.

"What use is an extraordinary bearing? Once she gets on the field, it will still come down to real ability."

By then, Dugu Bo had led Shui Bing'er to the edge of the arena.

He looked toward the three education committee members and said loudly, "You three, the match can begin now, correct?"

Meng Shenji nodded, signaling for the referee to enter the arena.

The referee was a veteran teacher from the academy, a six-ringed Soul Emperor.

He walked to the center of the arena and announced loudly, "For this exchange match, Dai Mubai of the Shrek Seven Devils will face Shui Bing'er. Whoever concedes, loses the ability to fight, or leaves the boundaries of the arena will be declared defeated. Now, both contestants, enter the field!"

Dai Mubai strode into the arena.

Shui Bing'er also entered at an unhurried pace.

The two stopped twenty meters apart in the center of the arena.

"Prepare for the match! You may release your martial souls and soul rings!"

As the referee's words fell, Dai Mubai gave a low shout and released his martial soul.

Intense white light burst from his body as the muscles all over him swelled in an instant.

His hair turned black and white, while the character for "King" appeared on his forehead.

Two yellow and one purple soul rings rose from beneath his feet, slowly revolving around his body.

The aura of a level thirty-seven assault-type battle Soul Elder erupted without reservation.

A wave of startled cries rose from the spectators' stands.

"So this is the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils? He really does have some skill!"

However, when Shui Bing'er released her martial soul, the entire venue instantly fell silent.

Unlike Dai Mubai, she did not erupt with any imposing aura. She merely raised a hand gently, blue light radiating from around her body.

An icy-blue phantom of a Phoenix appeared behind her, spreading its wings and letting out a clear phoenix cry.

In an instant, the temperature within a hundred-meter radius around her plummeted.

Moisture in the air condensed into tiny ice crystals, glittering with rainbow light beneath the sun.

Shui Bing'er suppressed the fire attribute within her martial soul, revealing only its original ice attribute.

Likewise, two yellow and one purple soul rings rose beneath her feet.

Yet unlike Dai Mubai's dazzling soul rings, hers gave off a faint, chilling gleam, as though they could freeze a person's very soul.

"This is..."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were filled with shock.

"A top-tier ice-attribute martial soul—Ice Phoenix!"

Everyone from Shrek looked utterly dumbfounded.

"Ice Phoenix?!"

Ma Hongjun cried out.

"If I'd known her martial soul was an Ice Phoenix, I should've been the one to fight! My Evil Fire Phoenix would definitely suppress her!"

Oscar rolled his eyes.

"What the hell are you shouting for as a two-ring Soul Grandmaster? You're not even qualified to face her."

Tang San stared intently at Shui Bing'er on the field, his brows tightly furrowed.

Faced with Dai Mubai's overwhelmingly powerful aura, this girl remained so calm and composed that even her gaze did not waver in the slightest.

This was definitely not an act, but absolute confidence in her own strength.

Tang San naturally believed in Dai Mubai.

Yet for some reason, an ominous feeling rose in his heart at that moment.

Upon seeing Shui Bing'er's martial soul, the three education committee members exchanged looks.

"Ice Phoenix... That is a top-tier ice-attribute beast martial soul. No wonder Dugu Bo has such confidence in her. Could she be..."

Meng Shenji murmured, suddenly recalling Leng Jun of Skywater Academy, whose martial soul was also an Ice Phoenix.

Zhi Lin's expression turned rather unpleasant.

He had previously dismissed Shui Bing'er with contempt. Now it seemed that he had truly misjudged her.

Yu Tianheng and the others from Imperial Fighter Team One were equally dumbstruck.

"Yanzi, little sister Bing'er really isn't simple."

"Of course! Otherwise, why would my grandfather bring her here to challenge the Shrek Seven Devils?!"

Ye Lingling quietly watched Shui Bing'er on the field, a flicker of emotion passing through her cool eyes.

"Shui Bing'er... she's so strong."

On the western side of the arena, Dugu Yan proudly raised her chin.

Shui Bing'er had shocked the entire audience merely by revealing her martial soul.

Once she used her soul skills, she would be even more dazzling.

At the center of the arena, Dai Mubai felt it most directly.

The moment Shui Bing'er released her martial soul, he felt as though he had been transported into a land of ice and snow, to the point that even his breath came out in white mist.

That piercing chill did not merely affect his body. It even seeped into the circulation of his Soul Power, slowing its flow somewhat.

"A top-tier ice-attribute martial soul... truly not simple."

Dai Mubai's gaze turned grave, yet an even stronger fighting spirit was stirred within him.

The Evil Eye White Tiger was also a top-tier beast martial soul.

This battle was a clash between top-tier martial souls!

"Match—begin!"

The referee swung his hand down and quickly retreated to the edge of the arena.

The instant his words fell, Dai Mubai moved.

His second soul ring suddenly lit up as he unleashed White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!

Dozens of white light spheres shot from the tiger's maw, flying straight at Shui Bing'er.

This was a long-range attack soul skill. It was extremely fast, covered a wide area, and was difficult to evade.

But Shui Bing'er had no intention of dodging at all.

The instant her first soul ring lit up, dozens of blue ice crystals precisely locked onto those light spheres and directly encased them.

Immediately afterward came a series of shattering ice sounds.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before those white light spheres could even reach Shui Bing'er, they all exploded, turning into countless ice fragments that scattered in every direction.

Almost at the same time, a streak of blue ice appeared beneath Dai Mubai's feet without warning. It rapidly spread upward from his feet, enveloping his entire body in the blink of an eye.

"What?!"

Dai Mubai was greatly startled.

He had not seen how Shui Bing'er had activated her soul skill at all. He had not even sensed any fluctuation of Soul Power.

The Ice Seal came too fast, too suddenly!

The audience erupted in an uproar.

"That White Tiger has been restrained!"

"An instant control skill? How powerful does one's Soul Power control have to be?"

Watching the situation on the field, everyone from Shrek grew tense.

"Break!"

Dai Mubai suddenly bellowed, and the Soul Power throughout his body erupted!

Boom—

Relying on the formidable strength of the Evil Eye White Tiger, Dai Mubai broke free from the Ice Seal's restraints.

Realizing his opponent was far from weak, he did not dare let down his guard in the slightest.

Almost the instant he shattered the ice, his third soul ring lit up as he activated the White Tiger Vajra Transformation.

Dai Mubai's body swelled once more, his muscles bulging as black tiger stripes emerged across his skin.

This was a powerful self-buffing skill. During the half-hour transformation, his resistance to abnormal conditions, attack power, and strength would all double.

The massive White Tiger lowered its body, its four limbs kicking off the ground as it transformed into a streak of white light and charged toward Shui Bing'er.

This time, Dai Mubai was nearly twice as fast as before, terrifying energy gathering around his tiger claws.

Even in the face of Dai Mubai's imposing charge, Shui Bing'er remained calm, her expression utterly unchanged.

The instant her third soul ring lit up, the mark on her forehead flashed with blue light.

In that instant, a scene that stunned everyone unfolded.

The streak of white light Dai Mubai had become came to an abrupt halt, as though it had been frozen in midair.

Then came a bang!

That massive White Tiger slammed heavily into the ground!

Dai Mubai, along with his White Tiger martial soul, was completely encased in ice.

He dropped to both knees. Even exerting all his strength, he could not move an inch.

Seeing this, everyone from Shrek was left dumbfounded.

[Don't worry. Tomorrow's content will turn Ma Hongjun into a eunuch.]
