Once her mind was made up, Zhou Yi stopped hesitating and shouted sharply, "You insolent brat! You think you have Ultimate Fire?"

"Today, I'll teach you what it means to respect your teacher!"

The Fire Dragon Martial Soul descended upon her with a boom. Zhou Yi's first soul ring flared brightly, and sharp fire dragon claws tore through the air, carrying overwhelming dragon flames as they surged toward Lin Yan like a rushing torrent!

"First Soul Skill—Flame Devour!"

Lin Yan gave a cold shout. The Nine-Colored Emperor Flame suddenly swelled, and the fire elements between heaven and earth seemed to answer an invisible summons, forming a devouring vortex.

Furthermore, under the suppression of Lin Yan's Ultimate Fire, Zhou Yi's attack was weakened by thirty percent out of thin air.

Her dragon claws, wrapped in boundless dragon flames, had not even reached Lin Yan before they were swept into the vortex and devoured completely without causing the slightest ripple!

In an instant, Lin Yan's first soul skill took effect. After devouring the Wither-Bloom Dragon Fire, his all-attribute enhancement reached a terrifying 510%. His Soul Power surged like a tsunami, and his aura forced the surrounding students back again and again.

"That's impossible!"

Watching her attack get effortlessly devoured and clearly feeling Ultimate Fire suppress her Fire Dragon Martial Soul, Zhou Yi's eyes nearly split apart.

"Second Soul Skill—Fire Dragon Impact Cannon!"

"Third Soul Skill—Fire Dragon Body!"

Soul Power surged wildly through Zhou Yi's body as her second and third soul rings lit up one after another. Blazing pillars of fire shot toward Lin Yan in dense waves like scarlet meteors.

In response, Lin Yan remained utterly composed, treating the fire pillars filling the sky as though they were nothing!

"Second Soul Skill, Flame Spirit!"

Lin Yan's second soul ring flashed beneath his feet, and the Nine-Colored Emperor Flame instantly split into nine Origin Beast Fires of different colors, condensing into Flame Spirits.

Then, Flame Spirit Weaponization!

Purple Flame Thunder Fire, Life Spirit Fire, Nether Flame, Meteor Fire... nine kinds of flames intertwined, and the dazzling, resplendent Flame Spirit Battle Armor appeared once more!

The students watching nearby had long been dumbfounded. Their mouths hung open, their eyes filled with disbelief, and even their breathing slowed.

Little Fatty Chen Beixuan and Ye Liangchen were so excited that their faces flushed red as they shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Holy shit! That's so cool!"

"Brother Lin is awesome! Brother Lin, beat her!"

The Thunder Fire Wings behind Lin Yan spread wide. Purple flame lightning crackled as his figure flickered like a ghost. Every fire pillar Zhou Yi unleashed missed, smashing into the ground and blasting out scorched pits that belched black smoke!

"Zhou Yi, is that all you can do?"

Moving like lightning, Lin Yan instantly closed in on Zhou Yi. The Blood Flame War Halberd in his hand crashed down, its blade carrying the terrifying power of Ultimate Fire as it struck straight toward her chest.

Zhou Yi's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly crossed her dragon-clawed arms to block.

Clang!

The sound of metal striking metal rang across the entire arena. Zhou Yi felt an enormous force slam into her, numbing both arms and sending her flying backward like a kite with its string cut.

Just as Zhou Yi crashed to the ground, several figures broke through the air—the upper echelon of Shrek had finally arrived after hearing the commotion!

Xuan Zi stood in the air, his pupils contracting sharply. "Ultimate Fire... it really is Ultimate Fire!"

Yan Shaozhe stared intensely at Lin Yan, who stood on the field clad in Flame Spirit Battle Armor and radiating an imposing aura. Then he looked at Zhou Yi, who had been sent flying, and the shock on his face nearly overflowed.

Lin Yan also noticed Yan Shaozhe and the others arriving. To keep them from intervening in the battle, he decided to end things quickly and crush Zhou Yi in the most overwhelming manner possible!

Holding his war halberd, Lin Yan walked toward Zhou Yi step by step. His pace was steady, while his calm voice carried piercing mockery. "Zhou Yi, weren't you going to cripple me? Why aren't you coming?"

After being sent flying by Lin Yan's strike, Zhou Yi had gone nearly mad. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she panted heavily.

"Fifth Soul Skill—Crimson Flame Dragon Breath!"

"Sixth Soul Skill—Dragon Blood Blazing Burn!"

Lin Yan gently shook his head, his tone full of disdain. "It seems you still haven't recognized reality."

"In that case, I'll completely shatter your delusions today!"

He raised his head toward the sky. A third, deep-purple soul ring slowly rose beneath his feet, its color so dense it was nearly black, far surpassing an ordinary thousand-year soul ring.

"Third Soul Skill—Wither-Bloom Calamity Flame Domain!"

The instant his words fell, a terrifying pressure capable of suffocating others spread from Lin Yan in an instant.

The sky suddenly darkened. A rolling sea of dark-red flames rapidly gathered above the training ground, heat waves billowing as the air itself warped from the scorching heat. The entire field seemed to have fallen into the deathly silence and blazing heat of the apocalypse.

Within the domain, Zhou Yi felt her entire body sink. All her attributes were instantly suppressed by thirty percent, the circulation of Soul Power within her became incomparably sluggish, and even her vitality and Soul Power were continuously draining away.

"This... this is a domain?!"

"An eleven-year-old Soul Elder with Ultimate Fire, and he even possesses a domain?!"

Yan Shaozhe cried out in shock. The expression on his face could no longer be described as mere astonishment—it was utter disbelief. Then, wild joy appeared on his face. "A monster! This is a true monster!"

"Heaven bless the academy, heaven bless the academy! Such a peerless genius belongs in Shrek!"

Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, and Ma Xiaotao from the inner courtyard, who had arrived a step later than Yan Shaozhe and the others, were even more shaken to the core, their faces drained of color.

Ma Xiaotao, in particular, recognized Lin Yan!

On the day Lin Yan registered, she had seen him from afar. At the time, he had been surrounded by a group of girls trying to strike up conversations with him. His outstanding temperament made him especially eye-catching.

Back then, she had merely thought Lin Yan looked decent and had not paid much attention to him before leaving directly.

But she never could have imagined that she would see Lin Yan again under such circumstances, much less that he would transform into the possessor of Ultimate Fire!

At this moment, she could clearly sense that her Martial Soul was being suppressed before Lin Yan's flames!

"Calamity Fire Descent!"

Lin Yan raised a hand and pointed. Within the dark-red sea of flames in the sky, calamity fires of every color surged wildly. In the next second, streams of calamity fire descended like a meteor shower, carrying an aura of destruction.

There was grayish-green Wither-Bloom Calamity Fire, which caused all vegetation in its path to instantly wither and lose all vitality; purple Thunder Calamity Fire, carrying crackling arcs of electricity that paralyzed everything; crimson Magma Calamity Fire, which turned into lava the moment it landed and burned all things; and pitch-black Mystic Water Calamity Fire, which could not be extinguished by water and only burned fiercer the more it was doused...

This was the effect Lin Yan had anticipated when he chose the Wither-Glory Fire Dragon as his third soul ring—the Calamity Flame Ancient Dragon clan could inherently control different fire calamity powers based on the differences in the Origin Dragon Fire within their bodies.

And once this trait was transformed into a soul skill and combined with Emperor Flame, an aggregate of countless flames, it would naturally give rise to innumerable calamity fires and grant control over countless fire calamity powers!

The multicolored calamity fires descended like Heavenly Punishment, tracing beautiful yet deadly arcs through the air. With their unavoidable property, they locked firmly onto the battered Zhou Yi and bombarded her without restraint.

"No! Don't!"

Zhou Yi was scared out of her wits and desperately dodged, but no matter how she fled, those calamity fires seemed to have eyes, relentlessly pursuing her.

She hurriedly released layer after layer of flame shields, but before the calamity fires, those shields were like paper and were pierced through in an instant.

"Ah—!!"

Zhou Yi struggled miserably amid the calamity fires as her vitality and Soul Power drained away at a frantic rate.

Thunder Calamity Fire shattered the Soul Power protecting her body, Magma Calamity Fire destroyed the phantom of her Martial Soul, and Mystic Water Calamity Fire eroded her Soul Power...

The human-skin mask she wore on her face instantly turned to ash under the burning calamity fires. Yet in the next second, Wither-Bloom Calamity Fire landed on her face, burning away a large portion of her vitality in the blink of an eye and causing her skin to become dry and wrinkled once again.

Well, that solved it. From now on, Zhou Yi would no longer need a human-skin mask to conceal her withered, aged appearance.

Her screams echoed across the entire training ground. Nothing remained of Zhou Yi's once arrogant and domineering demeanor but endless wretchedness and despair.

Seeing Zhou Yi still struggling to hold on, Lin Yan was "kind-hearted" and could not bear to let her suffer further.

His Thunder Fire Wings let out an explosive roar as they carried him into the air. Pouring all his strength into the Blood Flame War Halberd, he brought it crashing down!

Zhou Yi's Fire Dragon Martial Soul let out a mournful cry before shattering completely, and her body fell to the ground like a kite with its string cut.

Lin Yan descended atop flames and ruthlessly stomped on her face!

The dark-red sea of flames dispersed, and the sky cleared once more. Sunlight fell upon Lin Yan, making him appear like a god!

The entire arena fell silent. Not even a crow could be heard!

After a long while, Little Fatty Chen Beixuan trembled as he muttered, "Brother Lin... won?"

"That's it?!"

At that moment, Little Fatty and Little Skinny exchanged a glance and swallowed with difficulty. They were now incomparably grateful that they had known when to yield and had not completely offended Lin Yan.
