Personality Correction Palm

The successive defeats made the atmosphere of the Shrek Academy reserve team heavy and oppressive.

Meng Hongchen's invisible and colorless potent poison hung over everyone's hearts like a dark cloud.

"I'll go!"

A steady voice rang out as Beibei stepped forward.

"Teacher Wang Yan, I will take the next match."

Teacher Wang Yan nodded solemnly:

"Very well! Beibei, the lightning attribute of your Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon martial soul might be able to restrain her potent poison. Be careful in everything."

Beibei walked onto the Soul Fighting Arena, standing across from Meng Hongchen, who had already won two consecutive matches.

Just as the referee was about to announce the start of the match, Huo Yuhao, sitting in his seat in the Shrek rest area, quietly closed his eyes.

A white halo appeared, and invisible spiritual power instantly spanned the distance, connecting to Beibei on the stage.

To remain concealed, he deliberately hid his soul ring behind the wide back of his chair.

Spiritual Detection Sharing!

He wanted to use this method to help his senior brother Beibei gain insight into everything about his opponent, including the way her invisible poison was dispersed.

However, his supposedly secret actions did not escape the perception of the strong.

Xuan Zi, who had been resting with his eyes closed, twitched his eyelids slightly but remained silent.

Ma Xiaotao, standing to the side, also sensed the spiritual fluctuation; she merely glanced at Huo Yuhao and did not intervene either.

Dai Yueheng frowned deeply. He looked at Huo Yuhao, then at the calm-faced Ji Jing, his lips moving before he ultimately chose silence.

He knew that this was not his place to interfere.

The others failed to notice this subtle fluctuation of soul power.

But one person discovered it instantly.

"Stop."

A cold voice rang out.

It was Ji Jing.

He did not even turn his head, continuing to watch the Soul Fighting Arena quietly.

Huo Yuhao was startled, subconsciously wanting to defend himself:

"I just wanted to help my senior brother, her poison is too..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a palm appeared in his field of vision without warning and landed heavily on his cheek.

"Slap!"

A crisp sound echoed throughout the rest area.

Huo Yuhao was knocked off his chair by the immense force, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

His mind buzzed, and he looked at Ji Jing in disbelief.

The entire rest area fell into dead silence, everyone staring at the scene in shock.

No one expected Ji Jing to suddenly strike Huo Yuhao!

"I warned you."

Ji Jing withdrew his hand, his voice remaining indifferent.

Just then, Dai Yueheng, who had been silent, slowly stood up. His gaze swept over Huo Yuhao as he said in a deep voice:

"Shrek has the pride of Shrek. If we lose this match, we lose. But if we win too dirtily, I would rather forfeit the entire match!"

His words were resonant and firm.

If it were just him, he would not have voiced his opinion, even if he felt displeased.

But since Ji Jing had already initiated the confrontation, he had to follow suit firmly.

Ma Xiaotao sighed and stepped forward to help the still-dazed Huo Yuhao up.

She brushed the dust off Huo Yuhao's clothes. Although she was slightly dissatisfied with Ji Jing's direct method of physical correction, she ultimately said nothing.

She knew that Huo Yuhao's actions had indeed violated the rules and, more importantly, had crossed Ji Jing's bottom line.

And here, Ji Jing, the strongest among them, was the law.

After Huo Yuhao steadied himself, shame and lingering fear welled up in his heart.

He finally understood where he had gone wrong.

This was not a life-or-death struggle, but a tournament watched by the entire continent; he represented the glory of Shrek Academy.

He took a deep breath, walked up to Ji Jing, lowered his head, and said sincerely:

"I'm sorry, Squad Leader, I was wrong."

Ji Jing nodded and cast his gaze back toward the Soul Fighting Arena, as if nothing had just happened.

Wang Dong, sitting beside Ji Jing, watched quietly from beginning to end.

At this moment, she leaned toward Ji Jing's ear and whispered with a laugh that only the two of them could hear:

"As expected of you."

Ji Jing did not look away, replying indifferently:

"A genius must have backbone."

A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Wang Dong's eyes, and the smile on her lips deepened as she softly responded:

"I just love this high-spirited side of you."

The small interlude in the resting area did not affect the proceedings on the Soul Fighting Arena.

Having lost Huo Yuhao's mental assistance, Beibei relied entirely on his own judgment to maneuver against Meng Hongchen.

He pushed his Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon martial soul to its limit, his body wreathed in electric light and dancing lightning snakes, attempting to purify the invisible, virulent poison with the power of pure, masculine thunder.

However, the dominance of the Vermilion Clear Ice Toad's poison exceeded his imagination.

While lightning could disperse some of the toxic mist, Meng Hongchen's soul power was inexhaustible, and the erosion of the poison was pervasive.

Although Beibei's martial soul attribute held a counter-advantage, his Soul Power Level was lower than Meng Hongchen's.

After a bout of entanglement, Beibei's lightning power was heavily depleted, while the erosion of the poison continued to deepen.

His movements grew slower and slower until, finally, after forcibly activating the Thunder Dragon Claw, his vision went black, his body swayed, and he collapsed straight backward.

The time he held out was not even as long as Xu Sanshi's.

"Third match of the individual tournament, Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, Meng Hongchen, wins!"

Meng Hongchen, three consecutive wins!

Shrek Academy, three consecutive losses!

Dai Yueheng flashed onto the stage and carried the unconscious Beibei back.

Ji Jing handed over another cup of detoxifying wine; the atmosphere in the resting area had dropped to freezing point.

"I'll go for the fourth match."

A crisp and firm voice rang out as Wang Dong stood up, her azure eyes burning with intense fighting spirit.

Teacher Wang Yan looked at her and nodded:

"Go, just do your best."

Wang Dong walked onto the Soul Fighting Arena, facing Meng Hongchen, who had also consumed a significant amount of soul power, without a word of nonsense.

"Match begins!"

"Goddess of Light!"

The magnificent butterfly wings behind Wang Dong suddenly unfurled, and her third soul ring shone brilliantly!

Golden rings of light spread out from her body, enveloping her within.

Under this sacred radiance, all of Wang Dong's attributes received a terrifying boost!

Facing the invisible, virulent poison rushing toward her, the Light of the Butterfly Goddess acted as a powerful purification, repelling the toxins.

Meng Hongchen's expression changed; she had not expected the opponent to possess such an overbearing soul skill that provided both amplification and purification.

Wang Dong did not let up, her figure turning into a streak of light. As her wings flapped, countless Blade of Light condensed from the power of light swept toward Meng Hongchen like a torrential downpour.

Meng Hongchen tried her best to resist, but in front of the fully-buffed Wang Dong, her Soul Tool defenses were stretched thin.

In the end, Wang Dong used a Butterfly Goddess Slash to break through her defenses and knock her out of the arena.

"Fourth match of the individual tournament, Shrek Academy, Wang Dong, wins!"

Shrek had finally clawed back a victory!

But Wang Dong's complexion was not good; despite the protection of the Light of the Butterfly Goddess, she had inevitably inhaled some toxins during the prolonged battle, and her soul power consumption was immense.

Immediately following, the Sun Moon team sent out Xiao Hongchen.

Facing this powerful soul engineer, Wang Dong, already poisoned and lacking soul power, could not create a miracle and was quickly defeated.

With this, the individual elimination tournament concluded, and Shrek Academy lost this round with a record of one win and four losses.
