Blood Ring Appears

Cai Yue'er stood in the center of the room, holding a name list in her hand.

She glanced at the lines on both sides, raised her hand, and said, "Quiet."

"First and second grade exchange competition, first event, second profession."

She paused, then added, "Both sides sent people to forge, design, manufacture, and repair."

On the first-grade side, Ye Xinglan glanced at Yun Jingheng and asked, "Are you going to attend or not?"

Yun Jingheng shook his head, "No."

Ye Xinglan was taken aback for a moment, "Aren't you going up and show off your skills?"

"This is so boring, they're so bad."

Ye Xinglan's lips twitched, but she didn't say anything.

"I'll forge it."

"Since you're not going, I'll make it myself!"

Gu Yue straightened the clothes. "I'll design it."

Ye Xinglan looked at the other students in the class, "Then I'll go do the repairs?"

Yun Jingheng walked to the sidelines and found a step to sit down.

Hands in pockets, back against the railing, legs outstretched.

On the second-year side, Yuanen Yehui's eyes lit up when he saw Yun Jingheng run to the side.

"If Yun Jingheng doesn't come, we have a chance."

Lu Shuyao raised an eyebrow. "Yun Jingheng? The Pavilion Master's son?"

Yuanen Yehui (male version) nodded, "He's Level 5 Soul Engineer. If he doesn't participate, we can be sure the scheme will win."

"Then what will they do?"

"I'll make the arrangements?"

Lu Shuyao's lips twitched slightly. "If you don't want to be the class monitor, please give it back to me, thank you."

"Um... how about this, I'll do the repairs, you do the manufacturing, Bai Hanying will design, He Xiaopeng will forge."

"Okay." ×3

Yue Zhengyu looked at He Xiaopeng speechlessly, "Didn't you lose a little too hastily?"

He Xiaopeng sighed deeply, "Thousand Refinement Titanium Crystal... I'm completely convinced..."

"How did it become a tie?"

Bai Hanying's expression turned serious. "That girl is amazing..."

"The win was achieved without any skill."

"It's not technically difficult, but if you go up there, we've already lost."

Yue Zhengyu turned his head, "At least I'm only one grade below you."

"If you really can't handle it, give it to me. You can't even lose a repair job?"

"Yue Zhengyu, how about we have a fight?"

"The second professional match between the two sides has ended. First and second year students, 2:1. Now, let's move on to the actual battle."

"Each side will send seven people."

Yun Jingheng stood up from the steps and walked back to their side.

"I'll walk in front for a bit, and you guys follow behind me to mislead them."

"Okay." ×6

On the second-year side, Yuanen Yehui stood at the front, with Yue Zhengyu, Bai Hanying, He Xiaopeng, Ye Xingmo, Lu Shuyao, and Duanhun Xiao standing behind her.

Lu Shuyao looked at the first-grade group, with Yun Jingheng walking at the very front.

"What is his cultivation level?"

"At least Soul Ancestor, and most likely Soul King."

"Soul King? I'm Soul King too. I'd like to see how they manage to win."

Duanhun Xiao looked at them and asked, "What are those five of you looking like?"

"..."×5

Once they were both standing still, Yun Jingheng looked at Xie Xie, "Do you want to say something trash?"

"Never mind, I'm afraid of getting beaten up."

"Both sides prepare to release their Martial Soul."

The referee's voice echoed through the Soul Fighting Arena.

There was a moment of silence in the stands as everyone's eyes were fixed on the center of the field.

The second-grade team was the first to move.

Yuanen Yehui unleashed her Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, with four Soul Ring surrounding her.

Yue Zhengyu released his Holy Angel Martial Soul, golden wings unfurled from his back, and he slowly rose into the air.

Bai Hanying released her Cherry Blossom Martial Soul, and pink light spots floated from her fingertips, spreading like mist, with each petal shimmering faintly in the sunlight.

He Xiaopeng released his Black Tortoise Shield Martial Soul, and a blue light condensed into a huge shield in front of him.

Ye Xingmo released his Star Sword Martial Soul, the tip of the sword carrying a cold star.

Nine tails emerged from behind Lu Shuyao.

Their Soul Ring were all purple and black.

However, in the first grade, there were yellow ones, purple ones...

All eyes were on the last person.

Yun Jingheng slowly pulled his hand out of his pocket, the Moonlight Sword materialized, and four dark Soul Ring appeared simultaneously.

Then, a splash of crimson bloomed, and the entire arena fell silent.

The moment the blood-red halo rose, a sense of oppression filled the air.

"A... Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?!"

Lu Shuyao's nine tails bristled simultaneously, and his pupils contracted sharply.

Yuanen Yehui's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

This guy's fifth ring...

Duanhun Xiao's lips twitched; he finally understood the meaning behind the silence of those five people earlier.

Everyone thought of one thing: Sea God Island, the crimson pillar of light reaching the sky...

That day, the entire Shrek City felt that terrifying pressure.

That's not something that can be obtained through Soul Spirit fusion. In other words, this Soul Ring... comes from Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and he also has a 100,000-year-old Soul Bone!

Yuanen Yehui's voice was dry. "That pillar of light... was that you?"

Yun Jingheng did not answer; the Moonlight Sword hung limply at his side, and he didn't even bother to lift it.

Lu Shuyao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart.

He flicked his nine tails and gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't be intimidated! So what if he Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring? A strong Soul Ring doesn't mean he himself is strong!"

As soon as Lu Shuyao finished speaking, Yuanen Yehui's expression became subtle.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Lu Shuyao's "I don't believe in this" look, she swallowed her words back.

Fine, let him give it a try.

Yun Jingheng finally moved.

Instead of charging at his opponent, he raised the Moonlight Sword, its tip pointing diagonally at the ground.

The fourth Soul Ring lit up.

With a slight twist of his wrist, the tip of the sword drew a silver arc in the air.

Then, with a second and a third turn, the sword flowers spun faster and faster, and the Moonlight Sword transformed into a silvery-white halo in his hand.

Sword energy shot out from the swirling sword blossoms.

Dozens of sword energies, each crescent-shaped and almost transparent, refracted a cold light in the sunlight.

It poured out like a torrential rain, covering the entire formation of the second-year team.

He Xiaopeng rushed to the front of the group immediately, raised the Black Tortoise Shield, and a barrier of cyan light condensed in front of him.

The sword energy struck the shield, shattering into countless tiny silver fragments that exploded like glass shards, piercing towards He Xiaopeng behind the shield from all directions.

"Hiss--" He Xiaopeng gasped, noticing more than a dozen small wounds on his arm, from which blood seeped out.

Yuanen Yehui hid behind He Xiaopeng, focused his mind, and then all four of his Soul Ring lit up at the same time.

Titan Strength, Diamond Titan, Giant Demon Titan

With the combined amplification, Yuanen Yehui's arm muscles bulged and veins stood out.

She took a deep breath and pushed her palms forward.

"Second Soul Skill, Air Cannon!"

The compressed air burst forth from her palm, forming a transparent cloud of air two meters in diameter, which surged forward with a destructive force.

Wherever the Air Cannon passed, it plowed a deep trench in the ground, scattering gravel everywhere.

Yun Jingheng's crescent-shaped sword energy shattered in front of the Air Cannon, torn to shreds like paper.

The transparent cloud of gas headed straight for Yun Jingheng.

In the first-year group, Tang Wulin's expression changed, and he subconsciously wanted to stand in front of him.

Yun Jingheng stopped his Fourth Spirit Ability and raised his hand to stop him.

"Need not."

The Second Soul Ring lights up – Moonlight Protection.

Silvery moonlight surged from Yun Jingheng's body, condensing into a semi-transparent light barrier around him, with water-like patterns flowing across the barrier.

At the same time, an invisible pulling force spread out from the light barrier, drawing everything within a ten-meter radius toward Yun Jingheng.

The Air Cannon crashed into the Moonlight Barrier.

Boom--!

A violent explosion resounded in the Soul Fighting Arena, the shockwave spreading outwards, and the spectators in the stands instinctively closed their eyes.

The smoke cleared.

Yun Jingheng stood still. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the Moonlight Barrier, but it remained intact.

His shield was mostly depleted by the impact of the Air Cannon, but it hadn't shattered yet.

The pulling force instantly caused the second-year student to lose his balance.

At this very moment--

A beam of white light shot into the sky from the first-year students' formation.

Wu Siduo's figure underwent a startling transformation in the white light.

The bloodlines of the Hell Spirit Cat and the White Tiger merged perfectly within her, causing her body to swell to over two meters long. Her limbs were long and powerful, her fur displayed black and white tiger stripes, and her eyes shimmered with a ghostly blue light.

The Hell White Tiger.

Wu Siduo's self-fusion Martial Soul Fusion Skill allows her to complete a fusion without needing a second person, relying solely on herself.

This is one of the rarest Martial Soul talents Shrek Academy has had in nearly a century.

The Hell White Tiger roared to the sky, its voice shaking the surrounding area. Its figure moved as fast as lightning, heading straight for the second-year students' formation.

Before Lu Shuyao could react, she was swatted away by a claw.

Nine tails thrashed wildly in the air, crashing against the protective shield and sliding down.

The Hell White Tiger rampaged through the second-year formation like an unstoppable war machine.

He Xiaopeng raised the Black Tortoise Shield to try and block, but the power of the Hell White Tiger far exceeded his expectations. With a single claw strike, it sent He Xiaopeng flying, shield and all.

Xie Xie's figure left a trail of afterimages in the air.

The two daggers twirled in his palm, their blades shimmering with a pale golden light.

His speed was already extremely fast, and in the chaos created by the Hell White Tiger, this streak of light was almost impossible to catch.

Lu Shuyao had just gotten up from the ground, and before her nine tails could even unfold again, she felt a cool breeze on the back of her neck.

He turned around abruptly.

Xie Xie has arrived.

On the other side, Gu Yue's elemental control was fully unleashed.

Fireballs, ice spikes, wind blades, and lightning—four elements swirled around her.

She pushed her hands forward, and four elemental attacks simultaneously slammed into Bai Hanying.

Bai Hanying's Cherry Blossom danced wildly in an attempt to defend herself, but Gu Yue's elemental attacks were too dense.

Her Cherry Blossom withered and fell in the Elemental Storm, forcing her to retreat repeatedly.

Yue Zhengyu circled in the air, dodged Yun Jingheng's Crescent Slash by sidestepping, and then swooped down.

The long sword in his hand was pointed directly at Gu Yue.
