Outer Court Twin Stars vs. Strongest Freshman of the Outer Court

The five of them headed toward the Soul Fighting Arena, while the students who had just been watching the scene quickly spread the news.

All three of them possessed considerable fame in the Shrek Outer Court. In the two weeks since his enrollment, Xiao Yi had already taken down the notorious "Old Hag" Zhou Yi of the Outer Court, and later, to avenge a friend, he had beaten another Outer Court genius with a White Tiger Martial Soul until he was nothing more than a sick cat.

Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were also quite famous; the two were known as the Outer Court Twin Stars, a reputation built on hard-fought victories.

In front of the freshman dormitory building, Mu En lay there as usual, listening to the broadcast about the duel between the Outer Court Twin Stars and the Strongest Freshman of the Outer Court. He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle; he was naturally well aware of the situation between Xiao Yi and Tang Ya.

This kid's personality was just like his own when he was young. As for Bei Bei, getting a beating would do him good; he hadn't supported his relationship with Tang Ya from the start, having only intended to compensate the Tang Sect in the first place.

Then there was that other girl he had sent out. The Limit Douluo let out a long sigh.

"Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own fortunes."

Huo Yutong and the other two girls, who were waiting for Xiao Yi to arrive, also pricked up their ears.

"That guy Xiao Yi, he promised to be our sparring partner, so why is he causing such a huge mess again? Let's go, Yutong, Xiao Xiao, let's go take a look too." Tang Wutong's voice, tinged with dissatisfaction, rang out, and she led the two of them toward the Soul Fighting Arena.

The moment the three of them took their seats, they heard the discussions nearby and immediately perked up their ears.

"Did you hear? They say Junior Xiao Yi is fighting Xu Sanshi because of Jiang Nannan."

"You mean that number one beauty of the Outer Court, Jiang Nannan?"

"That's the one. That junior managed to win over that cold, aloof senior just a few days after enrolling. And that Tang Sect leader—the one Senior Bei Bei always follows—seems to be with this junior as well."

"Damn, I need that guy to open a class. I want to learn."

Listening to the chatter all around, the three girls wore different expressions.

Tang Wutong bit her lower lip hard, the restlessness in her heart nearly overflowing. She wished she could restore her female form on the spot and go down to question Xiao Yi, but she felt a sense of defeat—what standing did she have to question him?

I was the one who came first, she thought with regret. If she had known, she shouldn't have appeared at Shrek in the guise of a boy. This possessiveness toward a friend had long since begun to warp, and as for Tang San's mission, she had forgotten it to the ends of the earth.

The plan to approach the Daughter of Destiny while cross-dressing and then change her gender was truly idiotic. Did her father not know that a Martial Soul Fusion Skill required the blending of souls?

Huo Yutong's gaze was a bit strange, but the little girl didn't mind. Ever since that time, that back had been deeply branded into the depths of her soul, unforgettable even after a long time.

"Don't worry, little Yutong. That kid has extraordinary talent and the potential to become a god. When the God Realm returns, you are destined to be the only one standing by his side," Tian Meng's lazy voice echoed in her mind at the right moment, his tone carrying undisguised certainty.

Backstage, Xiao Yi looked at the two girls before him and smiled.

"Don't worry, my strength is far beyond what you imagine." Now that things had reached this point, Xiao Yi no longer needed to hide his skills. This time, he would thoroughly establish his reputation, which would also be beneficial for his early entry into the Inner Court. Pinching Tang Ya's cheek, Xiao Yi turned and stepped onto the stage.

Opposite him, Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei had already taken their stances, waiting for Xiao Yi to come up.

Xiao Yi stood alone across from the two of them, yet his momentum was not the least bit weaker. His posture was upright, and just standing there, he felt like a giant dragon, his presence astonishing.

Bei Bei felt that same sense of hair-raising dread from the depths of his bloodline that he had felt the first time he met Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi no longer suppressed the natural suppression his Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils exerted over snake-type dragon soul beasts, and Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was naturally within that range.

Before coming on stage, he had received a voice transmission from Yan Shaozhe, telling him to give Bei Bei a good thrashing and deflate his arrogance. Xiao Yi felt a bit embarrassed, but he followed through anyway.

However, Teacher, if I deflate your great-great-grandson's arrogance too much, don't blame me, Xiao Yi thought to himself.

The referee saw that both sides were ready and shouted, "The soul fight begins!"

Below the stage, Ning Tian, with her golden hair, stood together with the red-haired Wu Feng.

"Miss, who do you think will win?" Wu Feng asked curiously.

"That Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi both have high cultivation levels; I'm afraid Xiao Yi this time..." Before she could finish, her words were cut off as if someone had grabbed her by the throat, stuck firmly in her windpipe. She muttered in disbelief.

"How is this possible?" An uproar erupted in the spectator stands.

Back on the soul fighting stage.

"Kid, today I'll let you experience that our Outer Court Twin Stars aren't just famous for nothing," Xu Sanshi sneered. His figure expanded rapidly, his stature grew taller, and a turtle shell bulged on his back, making him look like an upright tortoise. Two yellow and two purple soul rings rose beneath his feet.

Bei Bei shed his usual gentle demeanor; dragon scales appeared on his body, and three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—emerged beneath his feet, his aura exceptionally sharp.

"Is that so? I'm quite looking forward to it." Xiao Yi also released his soul rings and soul power. As his pupils transformed into the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, four deep, black ten-thousand-year soul rings slowly rose beneath his feet. They emitted a soul power fluctuation so suffocating it felt like a black hole devouring all things. The massive Soul Fighting Arena fell into a dead silence, as if a pause button had been pressed.

"Are, are you kidding me? Four ten-thousand-year soul rings? Is he a descendant of a god?" Ning Tian's voice was dry, her tone filled with disbelief, and even Wu Feng beside her was shocked.

"Feng Mei, we have nothing to hesitate about. At any cost." A faint light flickered in Ning Tian's eyes. Such a genius—even one as proud as her couldn't help but be moved.

Huo Yutong and the other two also looked at each other in dismay. Tang Wutong was plunged into deep self-doubt and felt somewhat broken; she had worked hard for a long time, and with the help of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, she was only at level 25, nearing 26.

Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao's eyes were filled with nothing but worship and disbelief. Even the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gasped, "How is this possible?" At the same time, she felt a bit of annoyance; this person was indeed the Child of Destiny of this generation, so why hadn't she met him sooner?

On the stage, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi's throats were dry, but the two exchanged a glance, both burning with intense fighting spirit.

A dragon roar rang out. Space rippled behind Xiao Yi, and a giant dragon that looked as if it were carved from ice crystals emerged from the void. The temperature of the entire Soul Fighting Arena plummeted. Zhao Lan leaned her head toward Xiao Yi and rubbed affectionately against his palm.

"Cang Ling, Martial Soul Possession." Xiao Yi smiled faintly. Ever since his soul rings had turned into ten-thousand-year ones, his soul beast's intelligence had gradually been born, and now it could communicate with him through the consciousness of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

Ice-white dragon scales appeared all over Xiao Yi's body, dragon horns grew from his head, and his hair was dyed snow-white, hanging down straight.

Frost Sacred Dragon, Martial Soul Possession.

"Please, enlighten me." Xiao Yi raised his hand, signaling to the two in the distance.

The audience outside the arena finally recovered from the shock Xiao Yi had dealt them time and time again. Four ten-thousand-year soul rings, a powerful Ice Dragon Martial Soul—thunderous cheers erupted outside the arena.

Even Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, who had come out to the sidelines, were filled with shock.
