The Numerical Monsters Are Driving Me Crazy

This team had also remained undefeated until now.

The core was the genius support-type Soul Elder from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Tian, while the main attacker was the hot-tempered wielder of the Red Dragon martial soul, Wu Feng, complemented by the agility-type Nanmen Yun'er. They possessed strong synergy and formidable strength.

Before the match, the trio of Ning Tian wore grave expressions.

They had naturally heard of the terrifying feat where Ji Jing defeated Xu Sanshi in a single blow, but rumors were rumors after all, and that had been a one-on-one encounter.

"Hmph, don't let the rumors scare you."

Wu Feng flexed her wrists, her joints popping as a warlike flame burned in her eyes.

"No matter how strong he is, he's still just a Soul Elder! With Ning Tian's third soul skill support, my strength is enough to rival a Soul Ancestor. I don't believe he can take me down with one punch!"

She held absolute confidence in Ning Tian's support and her own Red Dragon martial soul.

As for the rumors regarding Ji Jing's three purple thousand-year soul rings, they scoffed at them, dismissing them as nonsense.

"Match start!"

Following the referee's command, the battle erupted instantly.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda!"

Ning Tian summoned his martial soul immediately, his three soul rings shining brilliantly.

"The Seven Treasures have their own glory; the first is: Power! The second is: Speed! The third is: Soul!"

Three resplendent rays of light instantly enveloped Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er, their auras surging violently.

"Ji Jing! Take this!"

Wu Feng shouted, crimson flames rising from her body as she charged toward Ji Jing with the terrifying momentum granted by the buffs.

However, facing all this, Ji Jing simply stood his ground, a trace of undisguised disdain on his face.

"Playing with fire in front of me? That's like showing off an axe before a master."

He whispered, and the three soul rings behind him, deep enough to make one's heart tremble, suddenly rose!

The pure pressure of the thousand-year soul power made the temperature of the entire arena seem to drop!

"It really is three thousand-year soul rings!"

The spectators rose to their feet, their faces filled with shock.

Wu Feng and Ning Tian's pupils contracted sharply, but the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired!

Just as Wu Feng's dragon claw was about to touch him, Ji Jing finally moved.

The second soul ring behind him flashed.

Second Soul Skill: Solar Impact!

The speed of the next attack is increased by 1000%, and it can be stacked three times!

In the next moment, Ji Jing's figure vanished from where he stood.

His speed reached a level that surpassed the limits of his opponents' visual perception!

Even the Soul Saint-level referee on the sidelines could only catch three blurred golden afterimages.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three muffled sounds rang out, almost as one.

Before Ning Tian's support could unleash its true power, and before Wu Feng's dragon flames could be spat out, the bodies of the three were like kites with broken strings, flying backward faster than they had come, crashing straight off the arena and fainting on the spot.

The entire arena fell into a deathly silence.

Ji Jing slowly retracted his fist, as if he had only done something trivial.

He had held back; his target was merely to knock them away.

Had he used a single Solar Impact-boosted punch at full power, a support-type Soul Elder and two Soul Grand Masters would likely not have just fainted, but would have been literally blown apart.

After the silence came a mountain-shaking uproar!

For the vast majority of the outer courtyard students, the process of this battle was a mystery.

They only saw Wu Feng charge up aggressively, and then, in the next second, the trio of Ning Tian inexplicably flew out of the arena.

From start to finish, they hadn't been able to see Ji Jing's movements clearly; it was as if he had just stood there, and the battle was over.

As Ji Jing retracted his fist and turned, the golden waves of flame caused by his extreme speed trailed behind him like a cloak before slowly dissipating.

That peerless strength and the overwhelming masculine aura struck Wang Dong's heart instantly.

She felt as if her heart had been gripped by an invisible hand, causing it to skip a beat.

A wave of heat surged uncontrollably to her cheeks, and she quickly turned her head slightly, peeking at that tall, straight figure from the corner of her eye. Ripples she hadn't even noticed herself appeared in her pink-blue eyes.

Every subtle change in her expression was presented in Huo Yuhao's mind, frame by frame, through Spiritual Detection Sharing.

Huo Yuhao was completely stunned, as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his heart.

He remembered Xiao Xiao mysteriously pulling him aside a few days ago and whispering to him:

"Hey, Yuhao, don't you think... the relationship between Wang Dong and the class monitor is very unusual?"

At the time, he hadn't believed it, righteously telling Xiao Xiao not to spread rumors, insisting that they were just roommates and brothers with a good relationship.

As it turned out, it was actually true!

Wang Dong... he actually had feelings for the class monitor...

Huo Yuhao's worldview shattered completely at that moment.

He looked at the slightly blushing Wang Dong, then at the strikingly handsome Ji Jing on the stage, and a terrifying thought began to grow wildly in his mind.

From now on... I must never go to their dormitory again! It's too dangerous!!!

Huo Yuhao screamed in his heart, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of key theoretical knowledge regarding the Radiant Goddess Butterfly martial soul, he did not know Wang Dong's true gender, and this massive misunderstanding was destined to continue for a long time to come.

"This match, the team of Ji Jing, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao, wins!"

As the referee teacher announced loudly, the three of them left the arena.

Meanwhile, at the highest point of the spectator stands, an old man in a cyan robe with an elegant temperament stood respectfully beside a very slovenly-looking old man.

The slovenly old man held a greasy chicken leg in one hand and a wine gourd in the other, his appearance completely out of place in this setting.

"Xuan Zi,"

The old man in the cyan robe spoke, his voice filled with respect, "This is the freshman I mentioned to you, the one with the Twin Martial Souls of Ultimate Yang Fire and Ultimate Yin Fire, Ji Jing. Look at that move he just pulled off; his speed was astonishing."

He paused, then continued:

"I was thinking, if we really cannot find that ice-attribute student who suppressed Ma Xiaotao's evil fire in the outer courtyard, perhaps we could have him try to use his Ultimate Fire to help Xiaotao suppress the evil fire within her."

"Perhaps, letting him bond with Xiaotao could even help Xiaotao's martial soul evolve further!"

The speaker was none other than the Dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy's outer courtyard, the level 95 Super Douluo, Bright Phoenix Douluo Yan Shaozhe.

And the slovenly old man beside him was an elder of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, the publicly recognized number one powerhouse, and in reality, the person second only to Mu En, the level 98 Super Douluo, Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi!

Xuan Zi took a large gulp of wine, bit down hard on the chicken leg, and nodded vaguely:

"Hmm... having him help with the suppression might be feasible."

He squinted his eyes as he watched Ji Jing's retreating figure, a flash of approval in his gaze:

"This child's talent is exceptionally high. Just that move from earlier—if he were serious, an ordinary Soul King might not even be able to block it. Don't forget, he still has two soul skills and one martial soul he hasn't even used yet."

Xuan Zi turned his head and glanced at Yan Shaozhe:

"So, when you go to ask for his help, remember to have a good attitude and be polite. If you upset this little guy, I won't be speaking up for you."

"However, his relationship with that girl from the Clear Sky Sect is unusual. Looking at you, it seems you don't know they have a martial soul fusion?"

Yan Shaozhe was stunned upon hearing this:

"Martial soul fusion?"

Xuan Zi tossed the bone in his hand into a nearby trash can without even looking at Yan Shaozhe, his tone beginning to carry a hint of dissatisfaction:

"A genius with Twin Ultimate Martial Souls—even an old wreck like me knows to look into him, yet you, the Dean of the Martial Soul Department, haven't been paying any attention at all."

As he spoke, Xuan Zi stood up:

"Do not mention the matter of him developing a relationship with Xiaotao again. If you sour your relationship with Ji Jing, you'll inevitably have to lower your head if you want to ask for his help later."

Yan Shaozhe felt a chill in his heart and quickly bowed:

"Rest assured, Xuan Zi, I understand."

Xuan Zi nodded, said nothing more, and his figure flickered and vanished.
