Chest Muscles Block Lightning

Yu Tianlin wanted to say something more, but seeing the referee signal for both sides to prepare, he swallowed the words back down.

He could only glare angrily at Lan Kai before gesturing to the rest of the Shrek Academy team behind him.

The others understood immediately and quickly fell into formation.

On the other side, Lan Kai and his team's formation was quite casual; the other six surrounded Lan Kai like stars around the moon, while Lan Kai stood at the very front, looking less like he was here for a competition and more like he was out for a stroll.

With the referee's command, this explosively popular match finally kicked off.

The fourteen people on the field simultaneously released their spirit rings. On the Shrek Academy side, Xu Lizhi's spirit ring flashed, and he tossed his Martial Soul buns to the others.

The others caught the buns and devoured them in a few bites, after which the female Soul Elder with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda used three amplification spirit skills at once to boost Yu Tianlin, who stood at the front.

A long dragon roar erupted from Yu Tianlin's throat as his body suddenly expanded. His arms, in particular, became much thicker and were covered in dense dragon scales.

Beneath his feet, four spirit rings rose—two yellow, one purple, and one black—a shocking existence of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

The next moment, bolstered by the dual amplification from Xu Lizhi and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda user, Yu Tianlin's spirit rings lit up one after another. A blue light surged from his body, transforming into a terrifyingly thick bolt of lightning that shot toward Lan Kai.

"Use your life to atone for the sin of insulting the glory of Shrek! Taste my Blue Lightning Dragon Blast!"

Yu Tianlin roared, his eyes splitting, as if he could already see Lan Kai and the six people behind him reduced to ashes by his lightning, leaving nothing behind that would even require rescue.

However, facing this terrifyingly thick lightning, Lan Kai showed no intention of releasing a spirit skill. He merely took a step forward, tucked something into his chest pocket, and then stood with his hands on his hips, chest puffed out, right in front of the incoming bolt.

The next instant, the terrifying lightning struck Lan Kai's chest. Yet, the scene that Yu Tianlin, the countless spectators, and even the referee expected to happen never occurred.

The lightning hit Lan Kai's chest directly, sparks flying everywhere, but it failed to damage even a fraction of his school uniform. It looked less powerful than a toy water gun.

"Impossible! That brat must have cheated somehow!"

In the private box, Cai Yue'er slammed the table and stood up, glaring furiously at Lan Kai, who was easily blocking Yu Tianlin's full-force strike with his chest. She seemed ready to rush out and kill him.

However, her gaze soon fell upon Juggler, the terrifying powerhouse who had killed her in one strike multiple times. Even with her Battle Armor fully equipped, she could not defeat that man.

For some reason, Juggler's expression seemed subtle, but upon noticing Cai Yue'er's gaze, he immediately turned his head and flashed a mocking smile at her.

On the field, Yu Tianlin looked at the unscathed Lan Kai, his heart burning with rage as he increased his spirit power output.

Yet, whether his output reached 100% or 1000%, the result remained unchanged.

Lan Kai seemed to find it boring, so he swept his left arm in a circle in front of him, effortlessly erasing Yu Tianlin's full-force strike—which had been bolstered by two supporters—as if it had never existed in the first place.

"Alright, it's our turn to attack."

"Two and a half minutes have passed. There are only five minutes left of the agreed-upon half-quarter."

"If I don't use at least one percent of my spirit power to knock you all down within five minutes, my head won't be safe."

Lan Kai checked the spirit power detection device on his wrist, which doubled as a watch, then loosened his joints and walked toward the Shrek Academy team step by step.

"Damn it, how dare you look down on us!"

Yu Tianlin let out a roar and charged straight at Lan Kai.

Except for the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda user and Xu Lizhi, the other four members of Shrek Academy also rushed toward Lan Kai, seemingly intent on knocking him down—or even killing him—in one go.

Lan Kai suddenly accelerated, appearing in front of Yu Tianlin in an instant. He crouched slightly and delivered a fierce punch to the lower right side of Yu Tianlin's ribs.

Yu Tianlin's movements froze instantly. Intense pain surged through his body and brain; his Martial Soul de-manifested almost immediately, and he collapsed to the ground in a twisted heap, his expression one of extreme agony.

"One!"

After KOing Yu Tianlin with a Liver-Exploding Fist infused with the Light of Orb, Lan Kai leaned back slightly to dodge an assault from another agility-type Soul Elder. He grabbed her wrist, threw her into another power-attack-type Soul Elder, and then used a standard flying kick to send them both flying aside.

"Two! Three!"

Immediately following this, facing the defense-type Soul Elder who attempted a shield-wall charge, Lan Kai blocked the rush with one hand. He then pushed upward, flipping the elder's shield directly, and delivered an elbow strike to his exposed chest, sending him flying into the heap of Yu Tianlin, who was still writhing on the ground.

"Four!"

The Orb Ring appeared in his hand. Lan Kai waved it casually, parrying the Star God Sword thrust by Ye Xinglan, and followed up with a side kick that sent her flying horizontally.

Unfortunately for them, Ye Xinglan landed exactly where Xu Lizhi and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda user were standing.

"Five!"

Lan Kai checked his watch; there were four minutes left.

"No, still four."

Supported by Xu Lizhi, Ye Xinglan stood up again. Clutching her stomach with one hand and gripping the Star God Sword with the other, she kept her eyes locked on Lan Kai.

"Three!" "Two!" "One!"

Aside from Yu Tianlin, who had fainted from the pain and was ruled unable to continue by the referee, the other spirit masters knocked down by Lan Kai had all managed to stand back up.

"Ye Xinglan. We will concentrate all our spirit power into you. Even without Yu Tianlin to initiate the Seven-in-One, we can still perform a Six-in-One with you at the center!"

The defense-type Soul Elder who had been elbowed away quickly proposed, and the others nodded in agreement.

Ye Xinglan had intended to refuse, but in this situation, it was hard to say if she could hold out for four minutes on her own.

Moreover, the glory of Shrek Academy was being dragged through the mud by Lan Kai, and Ye Xinglan bore an inescapable responsibility for this.

For the glory of Shrek, she would not hesitate!

"Yes, leave it to me!"
