Martial Soul Exposed, Six-Winged Angel

In a flash of thought, facing the terrifying aura Zhou Yi was brewing—a pressure akin to the precursor of a volcanic eruption—Su Chen knew he could no longer hide.

He needed to display enough weight to force Zhou Yi, and perhaps the Shrek higher-ups who might be watching, to reconsider their stance.

"Hum—!"

No more suppression, no more hiding!

A dazzling, warm, and sacred golden light, like a sun that had been suppressed for far too long, suddenly erupted from within Su Chen's body!

The radiance instantly dispelled the scorching heat and oppression brought by Zhou Yi's crimson soul power, making the entire classroom feel as if it were bathed in the sunlight of an early spring morning!

One pair, two pairs, three pairs! A full six snow-white wings, their edges flowing with a golden halo, unfurled behind Su Chen with a thunderous boom! As the wings stretched, a sacred, majestic, and sublime aura spread out like a tidal wave, standing in direct opposition to Zhou Yi's violent and scorching presence!

At the same time, two soul rings rose from beneath his feet, pulsing slowly.

The first soul ring, a deep, profound purple! A thousand-year soul ring!

The second soul ring... what color was that?!

Dazzling! Striking! It seemed as if it were cast from liquid gold! It radiated an indescribable sense of nobility and power that transcended common sense, far surpassing the standard color system of ordinary soul rings!

"This... what kind of soul ring is this?! I've never seen this color before!" a new student exclaimed, eyes wide as saucers.

"Forget the color of the second ring for a second! Look at his first ring! Purple! A thousand-year one! Class representative, I'm not feeling so good! I feel like I've been hit by a dimensional strike!" another student pointed at Su Chen's feet, their voice trembling.

Even in her rage, the moment Zhou Yi saw Su Chen's soul ring configuration, her pupils involuntarily contracted sharply. The anger on her face froze for an instant, replaced by sheer shock.

A thousand-year first ring... and the second ring... this color... With her experience, she had never even heard of a golden soul ring! This completely defied the known cognitive system of the soul master world!

Just what kind of monster was this Su Chen?!

But the arrow was on the string; it had to be fired. A fierce light intensified in Zhou Yi's eyes. No matter how strange he was, she had to suppress his arrogance today!

"A thousand-year first ring and a golden second ring... you certainly have the capital to be arrogant." Zhou Yi's voice carried a hint of gravity, but was dominated by the anger of being offended. "I retract my words about expelling you. Now, obey my arrangements immediately and apologize to me, and I may consider letting this slide."

"Otherwise..." Her gaze moved upward, landing on the six wings unfurled behind Su Chen, radiating sacred brilliance, and the pure, powerful light-attribute aura surrounding him. An almost impossible guess exploded in her mind like a thunderclap!

"This... could this be..." For the first time, Zhou Yi's voice showed clear fluctuation, laced with disbelief. "Six-Winged Angel?!"

"No! That's impossible!" she subconsciously denied. "The Six-Winged Angel martial soul... how could he possess a complete set of six wings at the Soul Grand Master level?"

"According to records, the number of wings for this martial soul should increase with cultivation! It should only be two wings before reaching the Soul Saint level! How could you possibly..."

Yet, that pure light, that sacred aura, and the wing formation identical to those in ancient texts... all of it was shattering her understanding.

When the other students heard the words "Six-Winged Angel," they were as if struck by a binding spell, completely petrified, their minds going blank.

"Six-Winged Angel?! Is that the supreme martial soul of the Martial Soul Hall from ten thousand years ago mentioned in the books? The inheritance of the Angel God?!"

"Wasn't it lost long ago?! How could it appear here?!"

"First ring thousand-year, second ring golden, martial soul is the Six-Winged Angel... Mom, I think I'm seeing a deity..."

Wang Dong also opened her small mouth, her pink-blue eyes filled with shock. Hailing from the Clear Sky Sect, she was naturally more familiar with this history.

Looking at the six magnificent wings behind Su Chen and feeling that heart-captivating sacred aura, the small amount of frustration she felt from losing to Su Chen suddenly dissipated.

So Su Chen's martial soul is the Six-Winged Angel... the legendary god-level martial soul... Wang Dong thought to herself, curling her lips with a hint of jealousy. No wonder I couldn't beat him... it seems it's not necessarily that I'm weak, it's just that this guy's martial soul is too monstrous!

Xiao Xiao, meanwhile, had turned into a fan-girl, her hands cupped over her heart and her face flushed red. Watching Su Chen, who was bathed in holy light with six wings unfurled behind him, looking as handsome as a deity, she felt her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

She was already a fan of good looks, and now, with the added sacred and majestic aura from his released martial soul, Su Chen's charm was off the charts!

Xiao Xiao felt the string of her reason about to snap, desperate to pounce on him... but her remaining sanity and the fear of a Soul Emperor's pressure forced her to suppress the impulse.

After the brief shock, Zhou Yi's eyes quickly turned cold, becoming even more ruthless. She naturally knew the value of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul, and she was well aware of the grievances between Shrek and the Martial Soul Hall, and the Angel God, from ten thousand years ago.

But honestly, after ten thousand years, those grievances had long faded. With Evil Soul Master activity rampant on the continent today, the reappearance of a Six-Winged Angel martial soul with sacred attributes was not necessarily a bad thing from a broader perspective.

But who was Zhou Yi? She was the "Extinction Master" who believed in an iron fist, possessed an extreme desire for control, and valued her reputation above all else! Su Chen defying her in public, questioning her authority, and challenging her rules was more serious than anything else!

Even if he possessed a god-level martial soul, even if his talent was unprecedented, in her class, if he didn't listen, he would be disciplined!

"So what if you're a Six-Winged Angel?" Zhou Yi's voice was bone-chilling, containing anger suppressed to the limit. "No matter how good your talent is, if you don't know how to respect your teacher, you're just an arrogant piece of trash! Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the academy!"

Before the words faded, Zhou Yi's figure suddenly blurred!

"Boom!"

Crimson soul power erupted like a volcano. She transformed into a streak of red lightning, difficult for the naked eye to track, tearing through the air with a sharp sonic boom, crossing half the classroom in an instant!

The speed of a Soul Emperor was truly terrifying!

The red dragon scales around her body became more solid, and the five fingers of her right hand elongated by three inches. Her fingertips were covered in dark red, metal-like claws, shimmering with a cold, lethal light and a scorching aura. Carrying the momentum to tear through everything, she struck directly at Su Chen's chest!

This strike, while not using a soul skill, contained the terrifying soul power of a Soul Emperor and the formidable strength of the Red Dragon martial soul. It was enough to easily shred steel and severely injure or even kill a Soul Ancestor-level soul master!

To her, dealing with a Soul Grand Master this way was already "showing mercy," intended only as a lesson, not to take his life—at least, that was what she told herself.
