Pure Strength, Yet He Had to Give It a Name

Where was Yang Jian!?

Zhou Yi instinctively searched all around, but she couldn't find Yang Jian anywhere.

Only when she abruptly raised her head did she suddenly discover that Yang Jian was standing atop one of the earthen-yellow rings overhead, looking down at her. Beside him stood the valiant and imposing Silver Howl Divine Dog.

The sight left Zhou Yi deeply shaken.

She hadn't even noticed when Yang Jian had appeared up there!

Damn it!

Zhou Yi's expression changed drastically, but before she could react, Yang Jian suddenly stomped down, as if stepping on solid earth, and charged straight toward her!

His speed... was even faster than before!

Zhou Yi gritted her teeth. The Sixth Soul Ring behind her, which she had been reluctant to use, finally began to shimmer.

As a teacher in the Outer Court, being forced by a newly enrolled student to use her Fourth Soul Skill and Fifth Soul Skill was already humiliating enough. If she used her Sixth Soul Skill as well, she wouldn't even have the face to remain at Shrek Academy.

But now, she had no choice.

Under the effects of the gravity field, even after using her Fifth Soul Skill to greatly enhance herself, Zhou Yi still felt a heavy pressure. In these circumstances, she had no way to bring her full strength to bear or withstand Yang Jian's charge.

Sixth Soul Skill, Red Dragon Flame Array!

Magnificent crimson flames suddenly surged up beneath Zhou Yi's feet. A hexagram array spread out beneath her, and chains coalesced from flames shot out of it in unison, speeding straight toward Yang Jian.

But Yang Jian showed no sign of dodging. He kept charging straight at Zhou Yi!

The Second Soul Ring behind Xiao Bai shimmered again. In an instant, four watery illusions appeared in front of Yang Jian, shielding him from the chains' restraint and damage.

Zhou Yi could clearly feel that the Sixth Soul Skill was far weaker than it had been whenever she'd used it before!

Again!

Its power had been reduced again!

What was going on?

Though Zhou Yi was a teacher at Shrek Outer Court, she still hadn't realized this was the effect of a domain. Domain-type skills were things one could only encounter by chance, let alone innate domains. Not a single student at Shrek Academy, including the Inner Court, possessed an innate domain, so Zhou Yi naturally couldn't have guessed.

Yang Jian's figure suddenly appeared right in front of Zhou Yi.

Within the gravity field, Zhou Yi's movements were severely restricted, but Yang Jian was completely unaffected. Every gesture he made looked utterly effortless.

As she watched Yang Jian swing his fist toward her, Zhou Yi felt as though she were facing an actual mountain!

She couldn't block it!

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Yi activated her Fourth Soul Ring once more.

Thick, fiery scales appeared over Zhou Yi's body again. Compared to before, she had now completely undergone Dragon Transformation. Protected by those fiery scales, she looked just like a true Red Dragon. Yet a faint trace of fear showed in her dragon-patterned eyes.

"This punch is called... Void Crush!"

Yang Jian's voice carried clearly enough for everyone present to hear.

The next instant, an indescribable force of destruction swept through the area. The punch felt as though an entire mountain had crashed down on her. Even with her scales protecting her, Zhou Yi's body was sent flying without the slightest suspense.

In an instant, Shrek Plaza fell utterly silent!

Zhou Yi immediately dispelled her Martial Soul Possession. She rolled awkwardly across Shrek Plaza several times before finally coming to a stop, a conspicuous trickle of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

"Y-you've got to be kidding!"

"Yang Jian won? He actually beat Teacher Zhou Yi after she used a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?"

"A Three-Ring Soul Elder can be this terrifying!?"

The students of Class One stared at Yang Jian, dumbfounded. Gasps echoed one after another across Shrek Plaza.

Only Ye Qingyuan walked over to Yang Jian with a radiant smile and called out sweetly, "Second Brother."

"So this is the Yang Jian you were talking about? A Three-Ring Soul Elder defeating a Six-Ring Soul Emperor, Ultimate Attributes, an innate domain, and a body strong enough to withstand a top-tier Beast Martial Soul—th-this... Am I seeing things?"

Even Yan Shaozhe, high above in the sky, had his jaw drop at the sight, despite having seen countless gifted young geniuses.

Though Yan Shaozhe couldn't yet figure out what was going on with Yang Jian's strange Martial Soul or why he possessed multiple Ultimate Attributes, he could still recognize an innate domain.

This was without a doubt a peerless genius, the kind one might not encounter in a thousand or even ten thousand years!

That was no exaggeration.

There might not even be a handful of Soul Masters in the entire Soul Master World who possessed innate domains, let alone ones with multiple Ultimate Attributes. Yang Jian had just displayed two: Ultimate Water and Ultimate Earth. After all, Shrek Academy had risen to the peak of its fame when an academy head with an Ultimate Attribute led it to victory over the Sun Moon Empire.

With two Ultimate Attributes and an innate domain, as long as Yang Jian survived, he was certain to become one of the continent's top powerhouses in the future. Even becoming a Limit Douluo wasn't beyond his reach!

Bai Yu lowered her head and looked at the boy and girl below, the corners of her mouth lifting into a pleased smile.

The top-grade pills Yan Shaozhe had ordered from their Offering Hall, Xuanqing Pills, had been fed to Yang Jian by their teacher like Sugar Beans since he was little. On top of that, the medicinal baths their teacher had carefully prepared had long since brought Yang Jian's body to an absurd level.

Moreover, in order to nurture Yang Jian, nearly everyone in their entire Star Luo Empire Offering Hall—except Elder Ye—had mobilized. They had searched the gathering grounds of various Soul Beasts before finding top-grade Soul Beasts with Ultimate Attributes to help Yang Jian obtain his Soul Rings.

It could be said that Yang Jian had received the full devotion of the Star Luo Empire Offering Hall.

So what if a mere Three-Ring Soul Elder beat a Soul Emperor? They were making a fuss over nothing.

The only thing worth ribbing him about was that Yang Jian still hadn't kicked his habit of naming his punches.

It was just pure strength, yet he had to give it a name. If you asked her, he might as well call them the Ultimate Water Fist, the Ultimate Earth Fist, and, in the future, the Ultimate Fire Fist or something.

Simple and easy to understand. What could be better?

"This child..."

Yan Shaozhe suddenly felt at a loss for words.

He was usually smooth-talking and eloquent, yet for once, he didn't know how to describe Yang Jian.

Seeing Yan Shaozhe like that, a look of wariness immediately appeared on Bai Yu's face.

"Don't even think about it. This child isn't for sale."

Yan Shaozhe froze for a moment, then looked speechless.

Who said anything about selling him?

Besides, "for sale"? How awful does that sound? You're a girl. Could you please not talk so crudely?

I just wanted to ask where on earth you found this child!
