Compared to the Man Faced Demon Spider, the Crypt Demon Spider's webbing was thicker and tougher. Though it wasn't poisonous, it was coated in an extremely viscous liquid that hardened as soon as it met the air. In the blink of an eye, the webbing became as hard as steel, forming a true spider prison that trapped Ye Qingyuan fast.
But Ye Qingyuan knew the Crypt Demon Spider well and had anticipated this. Even trapped inside the web cage, she remained completely calm.
Her first Soul Skill, Wind Luan Swift Dash, could grant her forty percent immunity to control effects. So the web cage wasn't unbreakable to her!
The next instant, the third and second Soul Rings behind Ye Qingyuan began to flash in turn.
The wings behind Ye Qingyuan suddenly spread and beat at high speed. As they did, a small storm swiftly gathered and spread outward.
Though the small storm could last only ten seconds, that was more than enough!
With every second the storm spread, eight wind blades formed within it. By the ten-second limit, there would be a full eighty blades! The destruction those eighty wind blades could unleash was even more terrifying than the fourth Soul Rings of many Soul Masters.
And that was why Ye Qingyuan was confident the web couldn't hold her.
The outcome was just as she'd expected. The storm didn't even need to last ten seconds. By the fifth, it had ripped a huge hole in the previously impenetrable web!
The storm continued to spread, dozens of wind blades slicing wildly until the entire web cage was torn apart.
A look of humanlike shock appeared on the Crypt Demon Spider's face. When facing an enemy, the sinister and cunning Crypt Demon Spider usually used its innate skill to restrain them. If it could defeat its opponent, it wouldn't hesitate to kill them. But if it faced an enemy it couldn't handle, it would use that same skill to escape.
This time, however, it had no time to think. Ye Qingyuan had already torn through the web and appeared right in front of it!
It had to get away!
The Crypt Demon Spider's eight legs scuttled rapidly, but it was too late. Ye Qingyuan had already prepared herself, and the Azure Luan phantom behind her suddenly spread its wings. Thirty-six sharp phoenix feathers formed before her.
The next instant, the feathers shot outward in a fan-shaped volley, raining down on the Crypt Demon Spider.
But then, the teacher on the left side of the platform suddenly moved.
A gentle force instantly deflected all thirty-six feathers, and the teacher landed in front of Ye Qingyuan.
The teachers in the Beast Fighting Arena had to protect not only the students' safety but also the Soul Beasts'.
If an attack merely injured a Soul Beast, they could simply treat it with medicine afterward. But Ye Qingyuan's last Soul Skill would have killed the Crypt Demon Spider outright.
That was why the teacher had intervened and stopped her Soul Skill.
"You've won, student."
The teacher on the left restrained the Crypt Demon Spider with one hand, keeping it from moving freely, and smiled at Ye Qingyuan.
Judging by the aura he had revealed, he was clearly a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse!
Ye Qingyuan politely nodded, then left the Beast Fighting Arena.
"Damn... Ye Qingyuan's terrifyingly strong too! When she got trapped in that web cage, I thought it was over. I didn't expect her to be so fierce."
"No wonder Teacher Zhou Yi put her in a group by herself."
"Come to think of it, the Beast Fighting Arena limits the Crypt Demon Spider's strength, too. If we ran into a thousand-year Crypt Demon Spider in the Star Dou Great Forest, it definitely wouldn't be that easy to beat."
All the chatter fell silent the moment Ye Qingyuan returned to the stands. Every student looked at her with respect. They'd always thought of her as nothing more than a pretty face who followed Yang Jian around, but now that notion had vanished without a trace.
The strong always earned respect.
A look of admiration also appeared in Zhou Yi's eyes.
She was sure Yang Jian wouldn't stay in her class for long. But once he left, Ye Qingyuan could still become Class One's leader and guide the whole class forward.
It wasn't as if Ye Qingyuan would also quickly advance to the upper grades, right?
"Ye Qingyuan, well done."
So far, this was the first time Zhou Yi had praised a student during the practical training. Yet Ye Qingyuan didn't let it go to her head. She simply smiled serenely.
"Second Brother, good luck!"
Without waiting for Zhou Yi to speak, Yang Jian rose from his seat.
His movement once again drew every student's attention.
They'd already heard that the Soul Beast Yang Jian was about to face had a cultivation of forty-two thousand years!
After Ye Qingyuan returned to her seat, Yang Jian gently patted her head. Then, carrying Xiao Bai, he slowly walked into the Beast Fighting Arena.
The same two Soul Douluo teachers were still inside the arena. When Yang Jian took his place, the younger-looking Soul Douluo on the right gave him a thumbs-up, then gestured toward the control station in the distance.
The same mechanical clanking sounded again, and an even sturdier gate slowly opened.
The moment the gate opened, a wave of scorching air surged out of the passage. The heat rippled through the air, seeming to sear it, and then the muffled pounding of running feet suddenly rang out.
A crimson flash suddenly darted out of the deep passage. It was incredibly fast; in an instant, a fearsome figure appeared before Yang Jian.
Yang Jian's eyes suddenly lit up.
Standing before him was a massive lion. Flames flickered conspicuously across its heavy mane, as if they could set the air alight. Waves of scorching heat radiated from its body.
Even more striking, it had two heads!
Knowledge of this Soul Beast instantly surfaced in Yang Jian's mind. The Flame Mad Lion was relatively common in the Star Dou Great Forest. It roamed in packs and was one of the rulers of the forest's outer region. Fierce-tempered, its clan leader, the Flame Lion King, had a cultivation of fifty thousand years and wielded the power of fire.
The two-headed Flame Mad Lion standing before him was clearly a mutated Soul Beast.
A forty-two-thousand-year-old Mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King!
It was easy to see why Yang Jian's eyes had lit up.
The Flame Lion King's fire attribute was already close to Ultimate Fire. Had the mutated Flame Two-Headed Lion King reached the Ultimate Fire attribute?
A Soul Beast that suited his fourth Soul Ring had actually appeared in Shrek Academy's Beast Fighting Zone?
