"The glory of Shrek Academy must not be tarnished by anyone! Today, I challenge you!"

"If you lose, you will issue a public apology to Shrek Academy, then commit suicide to atone for your sins!"

Ye Xinglan seemed unable to hear a word Lan Kai said, or perhaps she had stubbornly decided that Lan Kai was merely a sinner who had come to insult Shrek Academy, and that only by slaying such a sinner could the academy's honor be restored.

Although the way Juggler and Lan Kai were challenging Shrek Academy was indeed unprecedented, even the most far-fetched sophistry had nothing to do with insulting the glory of Shrek Academy.

"Is that so? But can you truly represent the glory of Shrek? If you lose, can you bear the consequences of all this?"

"Or is it that if you lose, you lose, and it proves nothing at all?"

"If you want others to apologize and commit suicide after losing, you must be prepared to do the same yourself..."

"This style of conduct is hardly what one would expect from someone belonging to the number one academy in the world!"

Lan Kai sighed. Although he wanted to beat Ye Xinglan up, his mindset had quietly shifted.

If the battle between him and Ye Xinglan had previously been a contest between two people, or two soul masters, it had now transformed into a battle against a mindless monster—one he could not even kill.

"Sigh, I'm afraid I can't reason with someone like this. I wonder if a beating will do the trick."

"However, even if that compassionate Warrior of Light were here, I suspect he would skip the persuasion phase and solve the problem directly with Corona Mode... right?"

Lan Kai couldn't help but think this, though it was a pity his card box currently lacked that high-level fusion material card. It would have allowed him to borrow the power of that compassionate warrior and experience firsthand how a true Warrior of Light handles unreasonable monsters.

"You bastard..."

Ye Xinglan was thrown into complete disarray by Lan Kai's words. His final negation struck her like a heavy hammer, leaving her head buzzing.

Under normal circumstances, she would not have fallen into such a state of confusion, but in recent days, the dean of the Shrek Academy outer courtyard, Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er, had personally come to Tianhai City to oversee the Shrek Academy representative team, pushing their training volume to an unprecedented level.

Even Xu Lizhi, a food-type soul master, was practically starving to death, so Ye Xinglan's mental state was naturally far from optimal.

Now, her already fragile mental state had been subjected to a dimensional strike from Lan Kai in every sense, adding insult to injury and plunging her into an even deeper level of chaos.

Thus, she decisively adopted her bottom-line logic: just fight!

Unable to even condense her most prized Star God Sword Intent, Ye Xinglan charged at Lan Kai once more, thrusting her longsword forward, intending to run him through.

Lan Kai shook his head, condensed a longsword using Ultra Psychokinesis, and parried the Star God Sword in Ye Xinglan's hand with a single strike.

"It may not be the Orb Calibur, but it is more than enough to deal with you."

"Your Star God Sword may be a top-tier Martial Soul, but my blade is not blunt either!"

Three purple soul rings appeared behind Lan Kai, proving he was now slightly serious.

However, Ye Xinglan's condition was already dire. Without the reinforcement of her sword intent, her swordsmanship could not compare to that of Lan Kai, who had been tempered by Juggler's brutal beatings. Coupled with the fact that her physical fitness was also inferior to his, she was now in constant danger.

Even a child watching the fight from the sidelines could see that if Lan Kai wished, he could take Ye Xinglan's head at any moment.

"Go for it, big brother in black!"

A child holding a ball suddenly shouted, and soon, more cheers for Lan Kai erupted one after another.

Perhaps Lan Kai was no stranger to this, as it was the treatment most Warriors of Light enjoyed, but Ye Xinglan felt her face burning with increasing intensity.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Xinglan might not have cared about the audience's opinion, but she was currently in a precarious position, facing defeat at any moment.

Combined with her increasingly fragile mental state, the cheers of the surrounding crowd sounded incredibly grating to her ears.

Just then, Lan Kai suddenly sensed a lethal crisis. He looked up to see a bright moon suddenly appearing in the sunset sky, and a beam of moonlight blasted directly toward him.

"Silver Moon Dog Donkey, I'll fuck your entire family!!!"

Lan Kai cursed, knocked the Star God Sword out of Ye Xinglan's hand with a strike, and held up an Ultraman card in front of him.

However, the next moment, Juggler's figure appeared before him. With a sweep of his Snake Heart Sword, the moonlight, which carried a terrifying aura, vanished without a trace.

"Everyone, look closely. This is the conduct of someone from the continent's number one academy, isn't it, Dean of Shrek Academy's outer courtyard, His Excellency Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er?"

Juggler glanced back at Lan Kai, saw the card in his hand, and revealed an inscrutable smile. He then looked up at the top of a nearby streetlamp—or rather, at an old woman standing atop it, much like a certain golden-clad archer.

"Juggler, you and your disciple dare to insult my Shrek Academy! I'll fight you to the death!"

For some reason, Cai Yue'er was stung into a rage. Her ninth soul ring lit up, and terrifying soul power began to condense around her body. She was clearly prepared to ignore the lives of the people in Tianhai City and unleash a devastating ninth soul skill right there.

However, the next moment, as Juggler suddenly appeared behind her, the imposing soul rings around her vanished into thin air. Her entire body froze for a split second before she went limp and tumbled headfirst toward the ground.

"Elder Cai!"

Just as Cai Yue'er was about to be "planted" in a trash can headfirst, just like the fifty-six soul masters Lan Kai had dealt with, a white-haired woman in dark green robes suddenly rushed out from the crowd, caught Cai Yue'er, and saved her from the fate of being buried in the garbage.

"Don't worry, I only used the back of my blade. She won't die."

Juggler, having landed gracefully, looked at the white-haired woman holding Cai Yue'er and reminded her with a smile.

"Many thanks to His Excellency Snake Heart for showing mercy!"

"No need. You'd better go back and check on your students; they're all about to be trained into mental patients."

Facing the white-haired woman's gratitude, Juggler merely waved his hand, seemingly disgusted, and told them to get lost.
