Mischievous Ji Jing is Too Naughty

Xuan Zi saw that the teams had been divided, so he waved his hand and said:

"Alright, everyone step back, create some distance, and prepare to begin!"

The two teams quickly retreated, facing each other from a hundred meters apart.

On Dai Yueheng's side, he made a prompt decision and immediately said to Ji Jing:

"Ji Jing, their strongest member is Ma Xiaotao. Her phoenix is extremely tyrannical, so I'll have to trouble you to control her!"

Ji Jing nodded calmly without saying a word.

On the other side, Ma Xiaotao's team also quickly completed their pre-battle communication.

The moment the match began, the delicate-looking Gongyang Mo tapped his staff, and several amplification auras instantly landed on Ma Xiaotao.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. His invisible Spiritual Detection instantly covered the entire field, clearly sharing the positions and soul power fluctuations of every opponent with his own teammates.

"This is..."

Ma Xiaotao felt a jolt in her heart. Experiencing this omniscient battlefield insight for the first time, she couldn't help but feel incredibly shocked by Huo Yuhao's ability.

This was a divine skill born for team battles!

With her confidence greatly boosted, Ma Xiaotao let out a sharp cry. Blazing flames erupted from her body, and a phoenix phantom appeared behind her. She charged straight toward Dai Yueheng's team like a burning meteorite.

She wanted to use her strongest power to finish the opponent off as quickly as possible!

However, before her fierce offensive was even halfway through, a sudden change occurred!

Ji Jing, standing opposite her, lifted his left hand with an indifferent expression and spread his fingers.

A cluster of flames ignited in his palm.

As he made a grasping motion, the unstoppable phoenix flames on Ma Xiaotao's body seemed to encounter a monarch; they instantly spiraled out of control, being frantically pulled toward the direction of Ji Jing's palm!

Ma Xiaotao felt as if the soul power within her body had been gripped by an invisible shackle. The flames on her body instantly died down, and no matter how she tried to channel it, the power of her martial soul felt as if it had fallen into a deep sleep, completely suppressed and impossible to mobilize!

"How is this possible!"

Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief and horror.

Seeing this scene from behind Ji Jing, Dai Yueheng felt a surge of wild joy.

He was incredibly glad that he had made the right choice to pull this monster onto his side!

Having lost the threat of their main attacker, Ma Xiaotao, the battle situation instantly became one-sided.

"Move!"

Dai Yueheng let out a roar, and along with Chen Zifeng, who was also a power attack type, they charged toward the opposing formation like tigers descending from a mountain.

Ling Luochen's ice elements precisely condensed beneath the opponents' feet, delaying their movements.

Jiang Nannan transformed into a phantom, cutting in from the flank.

Under Ji Jing's absolute flame suppression, Ma Xiaotao's team collapsed instantly.

Gongyang Mo, Xixi, and the others tried their best, but they simply could not withstand the combined onslaught of Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, Ling Luochen, and Jiang Nannan.

The battle started fast and ended even faster.

Almost like a hot knife through butter, Ma Xiaotao's team lost their ability to fight.

Watching this result, Xuan Zi clicked his tongue in wonder before announcing:

"Dai Yueheng's team, victory! Losers, fulfill the punishment."

Ma Xiaotao was full of unwillingness and frustration, but the rules of Shrek Academy were the rules.

She took a deep breath and, along with her teammates, turned bright red and shouted reluctantly:

"I am a pig!"

"I am a pig!"

"I am a pig!"

After shouting, Wang Dong's large, powder-blue eyes glared fiercely at Ji Jing across the way, thinking to herself.

When I get back to the dorm tonight, I'll make you pay!

In the subsequent sparring sessions, an indisputable fact was clearly presented to everyone:

Whichever side Ji Jing was on, that side won.

No matter how Xuan Zi swapped the lineups, attempting to balance the strength of both sides, the outcome of the battle remained without suspense.

Ji Jing displayed an incredibly formidable dominance on the battlefield.

Even with Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, the two strongest members of the inner court, giving it their all, they were no match for Ji Jing.

At Shrek Academy, strength is always the only standard for measuring everything.

Regardless of age, Ji Jing relied on one irrefutable victory after another to naturally become the absolute core in the hearts of both generations of Shrek Seven Devils present.

That night, back at the dormitory.

As soon as Wang Dong closed the door, she quickly reverted to her female form.

She stomped over to the bed, and catching Ji Jing off guard, she shoved him down onto the mattress and straddled him.

"That's for making me lose face! That's for making me call myself a pig!"

She pouted, waving her dainty fists to lightly pummel Ji Jing's chest.

Ji Jing didn't resist; he simply wore a helpless smile, feigning a defense with his arms while letting her vent her grievances.

However, the position was undeniably awkward...

Wang Dong's movements suddenly stiffened as she immediately felt a distinct change.

A wave of heat surged from her neck straight to the top of her head. Her pretty face turned as red as a ripe apple in an instant, and she jumped off Ji Jing as if electrocuted, standing to the side in a flustered mess.

"You... you..."

She stammered in embarrassment, her beautiful eyes filled with panic.

"What... what are you doing? Why... why are you like this again..."

Ji Jing sat up, feeling equally awkward. He spread his hands and gave a wry smile.

"This... this isn't my fault, you know..."

Embarrassed and annoyed, Wang Dong huffed, her face still flushed. She raised a smooth, jade-like foot and gave Ji Jing a light kick, chiding:

"Bad guy! Go make dinner, or I'm not talking to you for the rest of the day!"

Soon enough, a sumptuous dinner was prepared by Ji Jing's hands.

After eating, Ji Jing went to the academy's public bathhouse, while Wang Dong cleaned up the dishes and took care of her personal hygiene in the dormitory.

When Ji Jing returned to the room, Wang Dong, now changed into fresh pajamas, was already sitting cross-legged on the bed.

The two shared a smile, sitting down in silent accord. They extended their palms, pressing them together to begin their cultivation.

The dormitory was tranquil, filled only by the steady, rhythmic sound of their breathing.

As their soul power circulated through their bodies following the path of the Clear Sky Sect's secret Mysterious Heaven Skill, Ji Jing's consciousness slowly sank into his spiritual sea.

It was an endless golden ocean, calm and vast.

Ji Jing's spiritual sense hovered above the surface of the sea.

Instead of immediately beginning his mental cultivation as he usually did, he fell into deep thought.

He thought of Tang Ya, and the trial his father had left for her.

The purpose of Father's trial for Tang Ya is actually quite simple...

Ji Jing mused silently to himself.

Just as the God of Destruction once had the Seven Deadly Sins under his command, and just as Uncle Tang San had the original Shrek Seven Devils by his side, Father is selecting my future core team, filtering for subordinates qualified to follow me and ascend to the God Realm together.

Those who are qualified will pass the trial, follow me in the future, gain the chance to become gods, and become my true right-hand men.

Those who lack the qualifications will naturally lose this opportunity, destined to follow the path of mortals on this continent, living and dying as time dictates.

On this continent, besides Tang Ya, there are many others who possess the potential recognized by Father, the qualifications to become my future subordinates.

We will meet.

As for Huo Yuhao, Ji Jing didn't care much about his future.

He was Tang San's pawn.

Tang San didn't interfere with Ji Jing, so naturally, Ji Jing wouldn't interfere with Tang San.

Regardless, he and Tang San would not be enemies for now. At most, he would annoy the old man, but he wouldn't truly cross his bottom line.
