However, facing the fully committed Xu Sanshi, Ji Jing's movements were remarkably simple.
He merely raised his left fist slowly.
First Spirit Skill, Soaring Yang Fire!
The first purple spirit ring suddenly flared, and the crimson-gold Bingwu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire surged into the sky, only to instantly retract and converge entirely upon his left fist.
An overbearing aura erupted from his body.
The power, speed, and defense of his next strike were instantly increased by 100%, with the Tyrant Body state added!
The effect of this spirit skill was to enhance the power, speed, and defense of the next attack by 100% and grant it the Tyrant Body effect.
Most importantly, this spirit skill could be stacked.
Now, as a thousand-year God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, it could enhance the same attack three times over.
"Is that it?"
Seeing Ji Jing use only one spirit skill, a trace of disdain flashed through Xu Sanshi's heart as he activated the Black Tortoise Shield Formation and charged forward.
Watching the incoming Xu Sanshi, Ji Jing lowered his body slightly, then threw a punch.
That fist, wreathed in restrained sacred fire, collided violently with Xu Sanshi's supposedly indestructible Black Tortoise Shield Formation.
Accompanied by an explosive roar, the Black Tortoise Shield Formation that Xu Sanshi took such pride in failed to block the strike for even a split second before being crushed outright!
Following that, the fist's momentum remained undiminished, striking precisely against the main body of the Black Tortoise Shell Shield spirit behind it.
"Crack..."
The shell shield was instantly covered in spiderweb-like cracks, and then, amidst a deathly silence, it shattered into a sky full of black light particles.
"Pfft—!"
Struck as if by lightning, Xu Sanshi spat out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the edge of the Soul Fighting Arena, where he rolled his eyes back and passed out cold.
One punch!
A single punch!
Xu Sanshi, a Soul Elder possessing a powerful defensive spirit and having activated two spirit skills, had his spirit shattered by a freshman in one blow!
The entire arena fell into a deathly silence.
The Soul Saint referee's mouth hung wide open, unable to close it for a long time.
Ji Jing withdrew his fist, didn't even glance at the unconscious Xu Sanshi, and turned to walk off the Soul Fighting Arena.
A healing-type teacher hurried onto the stage to provide aid. As Ji Jing passed by him, he didn't stop, merely leaving behind a calm remark:
"Teacher, please tell him when he wakes up not to forget the wager."
With that, he drifted away amidst the awe-struck, shocked, and fearful gazes of thousands in the audience.
It wasn't until his figure disappeared that the spectator stands erupted into a cacophony of discussion.
"My god! What did I just see? Is that really a freshman?"
"One punch... he insta-killed Xu Sanshi! This is the real monster!"
"Quick! Go find out! Who exactly is this red-haired freshman!"
In a corner of the stands, Beibei and Tang Ya were equally shocked beyond measure.
If he could insta-kill Xu Sanshi, then without a doubt, he could do the same to Beibei.
"Little Huo Yuhao, your class monitor... what exactly is his spirit? Why is he so strong?"
Tang Ya swallowed hard and turned to ask Huo Yuhao beside her.
Huo Yuhao was also stunned; he shook his head:
"I... I heard him say his spirit seems to be Ultimate Yang Fire."
"As for why he's so strong, I don't know... this is my first time seeing the class monitor make a move today."
A strange light flickered in Tang Ya's eyes as she muttered to herself:
"Ultimate Yang Fire... Ultimate Fire... such formidable strength... if only we could pull him into our Tang Sect..."
At the same time, within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the lazy voice of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm took on an unprecedented gravity.
"Kid! Stay away from that red-haired guy! No... wait! You must build a good relationship with him!"
"Brother Sky Dream, what's wrong?"
Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.
"Terrifying! Simply terrifying!"
The voice of Brother Sky Dream was actually trembling, "With my million-year spiritual power, I can't see through him at all!"
"He is completely shrouded in a bottomless shadow; I can't catch even a glimpse of his true self!"
"Listen to me, no matter what, absolutely do not make an enemy of him! You must befriend him!"
Huo Yuhao could not quite understand the fear held by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, but he still agreed:
"Mm, Brother Sky Dream, I understand."
Shrek Academy, Freshman Dormitory Room 108.
When Ji Jing pushed the door open and entered, Wang Dong was lying on the bed, bored out of her mind. Seeing his empty hands, she couldn't help but sit up, her beautiful brows slightly furrowed.
"Didn't you go to Snack Street to bring me something delicious? Where is it?"
Ji Jing smiled mysteriously, took out some kitchen utensils, and began to methodically prepare some fresh vegetables.
"Don't be impatient, I've arranged for someone to deliver it in a moment. I'll make a refreshing cold dish and brew a soup for you first. By the time I'm finished, the grilled fish should be arriving."
Wang Dong was skeptical, but watching Ji Jing's practiced movements and smelling the fragrance gradually permeating the air, her stomach growled uncontrollably, leaving her no choice but to wait patiently.
Sure enough, just as Ji Jing placed a fragrant cold dish and a milky-white fish bone soup on the table, a knock sounded at the door right on time.
"Please, come in."
The door was pushed open, and it was none other than Huo Yuhao.
He carefully held a food box wrapped in lotus leaves, with Gold Soul Coin still in his hand. Seeing Ji Jing and Wang Dong, he hurriedly said:
"Class Monitor, the four grilled fish you wanted are all ready. Thank you so much for today, but this... I cannot accept your money."
"Business is business."
Ji Jing took the food box, his attitude brooking no refusal.
"This is payment for your labor. If you run into any trouble at the academy in the future, you can come find me."
A warm current surged through Huo Yuhao's heart. He nodded heavily, cast a grateful look at Ji Jing, and then turned to leave.
"Hurry and taste it. I saw quite a few people lining up today, and everyone said it was delicious. The ingredients are deep-sea fish I provided myself."
Ji Jing opened the food box, and the rich, charred aroma and the scent of spices instantly filled the entire room.
Wang Dong picked up a piece of fish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and popped it into her mouth. Her eyes lit up instantly:
"Mm! The taste is really good, no wonder business is so brisk. However..."
She smacked her lips, took a sip of the soup Ji Jing had made, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"I still feel it's not as good as the food you cook."
This sentence made the smile at the corners of Ji Jing's mouth deepen.
Little girl, watch how Brother handles your stomach.
Wang Dong put down her chopsticks, rested her chin in her hands, and looked at Ji Jing with some distress:
"It's over, it's over. You'll have to cook for me a lot from now on!"
"I've only eaten two meals cooked by you, and my palate has already been spoiled. Now I feel like I can't eat a single bite of the food in the cafeteria."
Ji Jing watched her with interest as she subconsciously revealed that charming and naive look, then suddenly spoke in a playful tone:
"Then how about I cook for you for the rest of my life?"
"Okay, okay!"
Wang Dong's eyes lit up instantly. She didn't even think about it, nodding repeatedly.
"This is what you said, you're not allowed to go back on your word!"
