The people present were both shocked that Ning Rongrong possessed a flying Soul Tool and looked at Yu Xiaogang with a hint of suspicion.
They had seen with their own eyes during the entrance exam that Ning Rongrong had used both offensive and defensive Soul Tools.
Yet, Yu Xiaogang had just claimed they were all storage Soul Tools.
Ning Rongrong clapped her hands, her tone mocking:
"So, you didn't know at all!"
"Martial Soul Hall started selling a small number of low-tier offensive and defensive Soul Tools a long time ago. To not even know that and still call yourself a 'Grandmaster'!"
Seeing her mock the title of Grandmaster that he took such pride in, Yu Xiaogang pointed a trembling finger at Ning Rongrong.
"You, you..."
Seeing Yu Xiaogang so agitated, Tang San stepped forward to protect his father figure.
"My teacher is a Grandmaster who researches theory; is there a problem with him not knowing these things?"
Ning Rongrong spoke with a smile that wasn't quite a smile:
"Of course there's no problem!"
"It's just that he couldn't recognize the Soul Tools, yet insisted on pretending he knew everything."
After throwing shade at Yu Xiaogang, Ning Rongrong walked over to the bamboo basket labeled with her name.
"In that case, there's no need for me to carry this thing!"
She kicked the basket over, looking at Yu Xiaogang as a show of defiance.
The scene fell into silence.
The others were surprised by Ning Rongrong's actions, while Yu Xiaogang was worried about his plans for the Soul Master Tournament.
"Holy crap! What a beautiful girl!"
Ma Hongjun's voice broke the silence, and the group looked in the direction of his gaze.
They saw five people walking toward them.
Two beauties—one charming, one heroic—clutched the arms of a young man tightly, one on each side.
Another cold, blonde beauty with a sacred aura also stood pressed closely to the young man's side.
This made the three scoundrels of Shrek so jealous they were practically turning purple.
Ning Rongrong, however, felt that this handsome young man looked very familiar.
Lin Huai's eyes went straight to Zhu Zhuqing's rule-breaking chest.
Good heavens, Bibi Dong should be about that size, and she would only grow larger.
Dai Mubai noticed Lin Huai staring at Zhu Zhuqing's chest, and his anger flared instantly. This guy had three such beauties by his side, yet he still dared to look at his fiancée! Dai Mubai had never suffered such an indignity since arriving in Suotuo City!
"Kid, do you not want your eyes anymore?"
Seeing that Dai Mubai was about to strike, Ma Hongjun hurried to his side, looking greedily at Qian Renxue and the other two women.
"Boss Dai, why bother talking? Just snatch those three beauties; remember to let your little brother have a sip of the soup when you're done."
Oscar stared straight at the three women.
He realized then that he was merely lustful; now that even more beautiful girls had appeared, there was no longer any room for Ning Rongrong in his heart.
Lin Huai narrowed his eyes.
Tian Yue and Hu Liena released his arms at the right moment and stood aside with Qian Renxue, watching Lin Huai stand up for them.
He immediately activated Martial Soul Possession and gripped the blade in his right hand.
The continuous, surging momentum of his blade instantly enveloped the Shrek group.
Ning Rongrong immediately used a defensive Soul Tool to isolate herself from the terrifying pressure.
In the eyes of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, Lin Huai was rushing toward them like a flood.
"Attack together!"
"Martial Soul Possession!"
Dai Mubai let out a roar, immediately activating his Martial Soul Possession and revealing his three soul rings.
Tang San and the other three also quickly completed their Martial Soul Possession.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stepped aside, not joining the fray.
Dai Mubai took the lead, immediately lighting up his second and third soul rings.
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
"White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"
A white beam of light erupted from his mouth, surging straight toward Lin Huai.
"Phoenix Fire Line!"
Ma Hongjun also unleashed his first soul skill after strengthening it with his second, spraying it directly toward Lin Huai.
Lin Huai did not even release his soul rings; as the two attacks drew near, he simply drew his blade and slashed.
The full-force attacks from the two were shattered in an instant.
Taking advantage of Dai Mubai's momentary daze, Lin Huai closed the distance rapidly, hacking straight toward his chest.
Dai Mubai hurriedly activated his first soul skill.
"White Tiger Protection Barrier!"
This mere first soul skill of a Soul Elder naturally could not block Lin Huai's attack.
The Prosthetic Blade sliced into the white barrier instantly, carving a wound deep enough to expose bone across Dai Mubai's chest.
Of course, this was only because Lin Huai had held back; otherwise, Dai Mubai would have been cleaved in two.
Ignoring Dai Mubai, who had collapsed while vomiting blood, Lin Huai set his sights on Ma Hongjun.
"Xiao Wu!"
Tang San had been distracted after seeing his second soul skill, 'Parasite', fail to take effect, and he hadn't expected the useless Dai Mubai to fall so quickly, so he hurriedly called for Xiao Wu to intervene.
He used the third soul skill he had just acquired, throwing a blue spider web toward Lin Huai.
He then pulled out various hidden weapons, preparing to launch a sneak attack.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu immediately lit up her first and third soul rings.
"Teleport!"
"Waist Bow!"
She appeared directly beside Lin Huai, clamping her legs toward his neck.
Lin Huai's face was full of disgust as he manifested a golden Halo in his left hand and threw it directly at Xiao Wu's legs.
"Slutty rabbit, don't use your legs to clamp me!"
Xiao Wu was unable to dodge in time; the Halo struck her back directly, sending her flying.
Lin Huai also swung his blade to slash through Tang San's spider web.
"Twin Martial Souls!"
Yu Xiaogang, hiding behind Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, exclaimed in shock.
Tang San ignored everything else; now, his eyes were fixed entirely on the flying Xiao Wu.
His eyes instantly turned blood-red, his breathing became heavy like an ox, and he gritted his teeth as he said:
"You actually dared to hurt Xiao Wu, you deserve to die!"
Seeing such a classic scene unfold, Lin Huai casually slashed out, inflicting the same injury on Ma Hongjun as he had on Dai Mubai, then looked at the maddened Tang San.
"Is being loud supposed to be impressive? If you were so capable, you shouldn't have let your slutty rabbit get hurt!"
Seeing Lin Huai continue to insult Xiao Wu, Tang San shouted:
"You have already invited your own death!"
His hands turned the color of white jade, and a flow of energy seemed to circulate between his ten fingers, while his blood-red eyes began to shimmer with a purple hue.
Lin Huai watched the changes in Tang San's body, a look of interest appearing on his face.
Tang San's hands rose gracefully from his waist.
A continuous hissing sound filled the air as more than a dozen cold glints streaked toward Lin Huai's eyes, heart, and other vital points.
Unfortunately, after consuming the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Lin Huai's spiritual power was no less formidable than Hu Liena's.
Possessing such powerful spiritual energy, combined with the augmentation of his Winged Helm, the trajectories of these hidden weapons were clearly visible to Lin Huai.
Ding, ding, ding...
All the hidden weapons were easily blocked by his blade.
Another dozen explosive sounds rang out as hidden weapons, faster than the last, surged toward Lin Huai once more.
After blocking them all, Lin Huai felt a touch of boredom.
He accelerated toward Tang San, who was still pulling out hidden weapons; Tang San stepped into his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, attempting to dodge Lin Huai's attack.
But Lin Huai, having already undergone Martial Soul Possession, possessed immense speed and slashed directly at Tang San's back.
Tang San's heart tightened, and he hurriedly released his Eight Spider Lances, attempting to block Lin Huai's blade.
Lin Huai twisted his blade, snapping all of the Eight Spider Lances in one stroke.
"Ah!!!"
The moment the Eight Spider Lances broke, Tang San let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Who the hell are you calling for?"
Lin Huai followed up with a kick to the wound, knocking Tang San to the ground, unable to rise again.
He then looked toward Oscar, who was holding a sausage, and smiled calmly.
Oscar knelt directly on the ground and slapped himself twice.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have coveted your woman. Please, spare me!"
Having recovered, Xiao Wu saw Tang San covered in blood and, without a second thought, teleported over.
She unleashed a Charm directly at Lin Huai.
She was immediately met with a backlash, her body slamming heavily onto Tang San.
Tang San's body shuddered, and he fell completely unconscious.
"Who is causing trouble at my Shrek Academy!"
Wearing glasses and sporting a face shaped like a shoehorn, Flender flew over.
