Just as Zhou Yi hesitated over whether to pull her punches, Yang Jian had already crashed into her with ferocious momentum.
Yes, you are a top-tier beast spirit Red Dragon, and you are a six-ring Soul Emperor.
But so what?
Avoid the sharp edge?
I should avoid your sharp edge?
"Canglan!"
A layer of water ripples suddenly surged across Yang Jian's fist.
Zhou Yi's expression shifted abruptly upon colliding with Yang Jian; in a daze, she felt as if she had encountered a vast ocean within his fist!
Before she could even process her shock, a terrifying impact slammed into her. Zhou Yi didn't even have time to react before she was sent flying backward instantly!
The collision between Yang Jian and Teacher Zhou Yi actually resulted in Teacher Zhou Yi being sent flying?
The students watching were completely dumbfounded, and those who had been gloating before leaving the classroom turned slightly pale.
Buddy, you should have said you were this fierce earlier!
Ye Qingyuan, however, did not find it strange at all.
Having grown up by Yang Jian's side since childhood, she knew his strength better than anyone; even a five-ring Soul King from the Offering Hall might suffer a crushing defeat when facing him.
Zhou Yi, sent flying by Yang Jian's punch, barely managed to control her body in mid-air before landing steadily. Once her feet touched the ground, her eyes were filled with shock.
She wasn't shocked that Yang Jian could send her flying with one punch; she was shocked by the ability he had just displayed!
Ultimate Water!
In that instant, she could clearly feel the fire attribute of her own martial spirit being thoroughly suppressed. Since her Red Dragon martial spirit was already a top-tier beast spirit, any water capable of suppressing a fire-attribute Red Dragon... must be Ultimate Water!
However, Zhou Yi had completely overlooked Yang Jian's martial spirit.
As an entity existing independently of Yang Jian, Little White keenly sensed an opportunity, and its true form, which had been hidden within the water ripples, suddenly lunged out from the water that had fallen to the ground.
It appeared as if Little White had split into three watery phantoms, totaling four forms including its true self. But in reality, none of these four bodies were Little White's true form. Its true self had been hidden in the flowing water all along, waiting for the most opportune moment to deliver the most lethal blow!
Oh no!
Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat, but facing Little White's assault, she had no time to react and could only subconsciously activate her fourth soul skill.
Fourth soul skill, Blazing Dragon Armor!
In a mere instant, Zhou Yi's body was covered in a layer of heavy, dark red flame scales that radiated a scorching heat.
But within the range of the Chaos Domain, both the flames rising from the scales and the scorching heat were suppressed to their lowest point, leaving only the effect of sturdy defense.
Under the protection of Zhou Yi's fourth soul skill, Little White's pounce and bite failed to cause her any harm.
Having failed the strike, Little White did not persist and retreated directly to Yang Jian's side.
The battle, by now, was effectively over.
After all, before the fight began, Zhou Yi had stated she would only use her first and second soul skills. Having already used her fourth, she was technically in violation of the rules, but neither Yang Jian nor Zhou Yi had any intention of calling a halt.
Yang Jian was unwilling to settle for such a result, while Zhou Yi wanted to verify if he truly possessed Ultimate Water.
A soul master with an ultimate attribute was a highly coveted treasure.
In the ten thousand years of Shrek Academy's history, such individuals had appeared only a handful of times.
Therefore, she had to be certain!
Yang Jian and Little White paused briefly before moving in unison once more.
The third soul ring behind Little White, symbolizing a ten-thousand-year soul ring, flickered for the first time.
A circle of earthy-yellow light rose from Little White's body, rapidly forming rings that expanded outward in all directions.
A look of gravity finally appeared on Zhou Yi's face.
The soul skill of a ten-thousand-year soul beast was definitely not to be underestimated!
Although she didn't know what those expanding earthy-yellow rings were, her instincts told her that she must not touch them!
To avoid contact with the earthy-yellow rings, Zhou Yi did not hesitate to use her third soul ring.
Third soul skill, Blazing Dragon Breath!
As the soul ring flashed, a spiral of flames erupted from Zhou Yi's mouth. In an instant, a small sea of fire rose in the center of Shrek Plaza!
Yet, those earthy-yellow rings remained completely unaffected; even when enveloped and surrounded by the scorching flames, they continued to spread toward Zhou Yi!
Soon, the flames slowly dissipated.
With the disappearance of the fire, a sense of heavy pressure suddenly manifested!
Third soul skill, Earth Origin Mountain Suppressor!
It could cause an effect without even making physical contact?
Zhou Yi's heart sank; this sensation of heavy limbs and difficulty moving was just like being controlled by a control-type soul master's skill! Furthermore, what puzzled Zhou Yi was that her flames seemed to have been suppressed yet again.
What on earth... was Yang Jian's martial spirit?
Zhou Yi's body had grown heavy, and she was now enveloped by the halo radiating from the rings of light. Under this glow, the suppression effect became increasingly pronounced; Zhou Yi felt that even lifting a single finger had become an extravagant hope.
Knowing she could no longer afford to delay, Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the fifth soul ring behind her finally flickered.
It was a soul skill identical to Yang Jian's third soul ring—also a ten-thousand-year soul skill!
Fifth Soul Skill, Crimson Flame Dragon Transformation!
The effect of the soul skill: complete dragon transformation of the body, removal of all negative status effects, and a one hundred and fifty percent increase in self-enhancement!
As her body underwent the complete dragon transformation, that feeling of being so heavy she could barely move vanished instantly.
However, to Zhou Yi's surprise, this sensation of lightness lasted for only a fleeting moment. Soon, she felt that heavy burden return once more.
But unlike before, after activating her fifth soul skill, she was now able to move despite the oppressive weight.
Zhou Yi lifted her head to look into the air.
Those rings of light, one after another, were floating silently in the sky, as if connected to form a zone shrouded in an earthy-yellow glow.
Perhaps this was the key to why she felt such heaviness in her body.
Was this area covered by the earthy-yellow glow actually a gravity field?
With this realization, Zhou Yi took immediate action.
She had to leave this area covered by the earthy-yellow glow; otherwise, within this zone, her body would never be able to support her in continuing the fight against Yang Jian!
No!
A sudden jolt of alarm struck Zhou Yi's heart.
Yang Jian... was gone!
Her attention had been entirely focused on those rings of light, and she hadn't even noticed when Yang Jian's figure had vanished!
