Suppress with Force

The entire arena erupted in an instant!

"A pure test of strength!"

"This is going to be good! The Great Strength Giant Elephant is all about raw physical power; it's the perfect benchmark for Su Ming!"

"A freshman known for his mysterious and formidable nature versus a beast of pure, unadulterated brute force—what a perfect match!"

Everyone's eyes burned with intensity, locked firmly onto the arena.

As the referee gave the order, the assessment officially began!

The cage gate roared open, and the heavy, thundering footsteps made the ground tremble!

The Great Strength Giant Elephant, a mountain of a beast with grey skin, charged out in a frenzy. Its four hooves hammered the earth, carrying an unstoppable, savage momentum as it barreled straight toward Su Ming!

Its massive head and thick tusks were enough to easily send a four-ring Soul Ancestor flying!

Facing such a ferocious frontal assault, everyone's heart leaped into their throats, instinctively expecting Su Ming to dodge, parry, or maneuver around it.

But the next second, everyone's pupils constricted!

Su Ming did not dodge, did not parry, and did not retreat!

A pale silver light instantly enveloped his entire body, armor coalescing as patterns shimmered with a cold, biting gleam. The formidable Snow Mastiff Armor was fully equipped in a heartbeat!

The silver-white, hulking armor stood its ground, like a humanoid beast waiting for the giant elephant's charge!

"Is he crazy? He's going to take the Great Strength Giant Elephant's charge head-on?!"

"Too reckless! That's the full-force charge of a thousand-year Great Strength Giant Elephant!"

The hearts of the teachers and students tightened instantly, their palms clenching as they broke into a cold sweat for him.

The next second!

BOOM—!

An earth-shattering roar exploded!

Man and beast collided in a clash of extreme, raw power!

Violent shockwaves erupted from the point of impact, sending gravel flying and dust billowing into the sky. A massive cloud of debris instantly engulfed most of the arena, obscuring everyone's vision.

The entire arena fell into dead silence.

As the dust slowly settled, the scene that met everyone's eyes made their eyelids twitch uncontrollably!

In the center of the arena, the silver-white Snow Mastiff Armor stood motionless, as steady as Mount Tai!

Su Ming had his arms locked firmly around the two thick, sharp tusks of the Great Strength Giant Elephant, his feet rooted into the ground, holding the charging beast dead in its tracks!

The massive creature's hooves skidded backward, carving two deep furrows into the earth. It struggled and roared with all its might, yet it couldn't push Su Ming back even half a step!

White-armored, hulking, and standing tall—he had shaken a giant elephant with sheer force!

This was no longer a Soul Master duel; this was a humanoid land tank!

In the teacher's gallery, the faculty looked on in shock, unable to hold back their gasps.

"Good heavens! That physical strength is terrifying!"

"Taking a charge from a thousand-year giant elephant with pure physical strength alone—even watching it makes my heart race!"

"This isn't the level of a freshman. Even a five-ring Soul King might not be guaranteed a win in a pure test of strength!"

Inside the arena, the giant elephant continued to roar and exert force, its savage power surging, but Su Ming's body remained as immovable as if it were cast into the earth.

After a moment of stalemate, Su Ming's eyes narrowed; he would no longer remain on the defensive.

First Soul Skill! Golden Mastiff Defense!

Brilliant golden light covered the armor, his defense skyrocketing once more. His physical strength layered upon itself, and his soul power boiled over!

Second Soul Skill! Gravity Squeeze!

An invisible gravity field instantly enveloped the Great Strength Giant Elephant, and a crushing weight descended upon it!

Under this dual enhancement, Su Ming's arms erupted with terrifying force!

"Hah!"

A low shout echoed throughout the arena!

The Great Strength Giant Elephant, which had been locked in a dead stalemate, suddenly lost its balance!

BOOM!!

The multi-ton beast was hoisted into the air and slammed heavily into the ground, shaking the entire beast arena!

Before the elephant could rise, Su Ming stepped forward, his heavy punches raining down. Each strike was precise, suppressing the elephant's ability to retaliate.

A few heavy blows were enough to completely shatter the Great Strength Giant Elephant's ferocity and fighting spirit.

Seeing the outcome decided, Su Ming withdrew his strength and slowly released his grip on the elephant's tusks.

But the moment he let go!

The Great Strength Giant Elephant, previously clumsy and slow, seemed to unlock its limit speed, its massive body instantly launching forward like a spring!

He bolted, his speed absurdly fast, practically rivaling the treacherous Ghost Shadow Leopard from moments ago!

In the blink of an eye, he fled back into the depths of the beast cage without looking back, hiding away completely and not daring to confront Su Ming again in the slightest.

After a moment of deathly silence across the arena!

A deafening roar of cheers erupted!

"Too strong!!"

"This is his true strength!!"

"Su Ming! Su Ming! Su Ming!"

The entire Shrek Beast Arena erupted as everyone chanted his name in unison, the waves of sound surging and refusing to dissipate.

The lingering power on the arena slowly faded, leaving faint ripples of soul power in the air from the recent clash of strength.

Su Ming stood tall, his expression calm, as he walked steadily down from the towering competition platform.

The clash of ultimate strength against the Great Strength Giant Elephant had held the entire audience captive, and it remained that way until the very moment he stepped off the stage.

The gazes of many surrounding students remained locked firmly upon him, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

No one had expected that this outer court student could actually crush a Great Strength Giant Elephant soul master—who dominated the freshmen with raw physical power—in a pure contest of strength.

Before Su Ming could even steady himself, two familiar figures hurried over to meet him.

Bei Bei stood with his hands behind his back, his gentle brows filled with deep admiration, his gaze toward Su Ming full of approval.

Xu Sanshi, being more boisterous, strode up to Su Ming and bumped his shoulder with a thick fist, the force just right—full of the familiarity and respect shared between peers.

"Not bad, old Su!" Xu Sanshi said with a tone of surprise, tinged with a mix of amusement and disbelief.

"The Great Strength Giant Elephant prides itself most on its brute force; it has almost never lost a pure strength duel among the senior students.

To think it actually fell into your hands today! I am truly stunned; your physical strength is just too outrageous, completely unfathomable!"

Following closely behind the two, Tang Ya's eyes curved into crescents with a bright smile as she walked up alongside the cool-tempered Jiang Nannan.

Tang Ya blinked her lively eyes and offered her heartfelt congratulations: "Su Ming, you're just too amazing! I was sweating for you during that struggle, but I never expected you to win so easily. You're just too strong!"

Jiang Nannan stood to the side, a faint smile appearing on her cold face as she nodded in agreement: "Outstanding strength. You won this match deservedly."

Facing the successive praise from the members of the original Shrek Seven Devils, Su Ming showed not a hint of pride or complacency; instead, he adopted a lighthearted, matter-of-fact demeanor and waved his hand dismissively.

"Eh, it's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

His tone was relaxed, carrying the carefree spirit of a youth, yet his eyes hid absolute confidence:

"It was merely a Great Strength Giant Elephant soul beast with a thousand years of cultivation. If I couldn't even handle an opponent of this level or win a simple contest of strength, there would be no point in me continuing to drift through the Shrek outer court."

As his voice fell, his gaze shifted slightly, as if he had suddenly remembered something important, and his eyes became sharp and alert.

"Right, the competition here is completely over, and I have some private business to attend to. I'm off!"

Before the others could say another word, Su Ming's figure flickered, his soul power quietly surging beneath his feet, his movements swift as a gale.

With a whoosh, he darted away, putting distance between them in the blink of an eye and leaving nothing for Bei Bei and the others but a clean, carefree silhouette.

No one knew that Su Ming had already calculated his entire plan, his goal crystal clear in his mind.
