The rapid changes on the battlefield were truly dazzling.

Seeing the Shrek Team fall into a difficult situation, Yu Xiaogang grew extremely anxious.

"How could this happen? How could the little monsters have been beaten so badly?!" Flender could not believe what he was seeing.

"Why not? Our team has two Soul Kings—one reckless, one overconfident. They actually charged so easily into the enemy's territory and got ambushed. Who else can they blame?" Yu Xiaogang pointed out the cause.

"But their highest-ranked member is only level forty-nine. What gives them the right to defeat two Soul Kings?!" Flender protested.

"Have you not noticed their advantage?" Yu Xiaogang looked coldly at Flender, shook his head, and sighed.

"That boy called Kyōraku Shunsui has never fought seriously before. He barely used any soul skills. Yet this time, he used three skills in succession and heavily injured three of our main fighters. It is clear that he is very good at hiding his strength."

Flender was left speechless.

One Bushōgoma, one Shadow Ghost, and one Roly-Poly.

Three skills had seriously injured three Shrek students.

Then there was Shihouin Yoruichi. Every time she attacked, she went for the kill. If an attack failed, she never lingered in battle and immediately prepared for the next one—especially that strike just now.

Taking advantage of Tang San and the others' inattention, she directly eliminated both the injured fighters and the support, giving Tang San no time to react at all.

And Zhu Zhuqing, the only one they believed could restrain Shihouin Yoruichi, had been tied down by Dugu Yan and could not break free.

Dugu Yan's Soul Beast Transformation was rather unpracticed, but it had raised her physical abilities by several levels, still making Zhu Zhuqing extremely uncomfortable.

However, Dugu Yan seemed unable to maintain that state for long. It quickly faded, leaving her able to fight only with soul skills.

Meanwhile, Kuchiki Byakuya, who had barely moved from the center of the battlefield, controlled the entire field. Wherever aid was needed, his pink flying blades would arrive.

With Kuchiki Byakuya's help, Shiba Isshin had tangled with Kenpachi Zaraki for a long time, making an indispensable contribution to Shihouin Yoruichi's ambush.

In an instant, it became five against six!

Kenpachi Zaraki glanced indifferently at Shiba Isshin and slowly asked, "Still going to keep acting?"

Shiba Isshin froze for a moment before saying bitterly, "Big Brother, I wasn't acting. I really can't beat you."

Kenpachi Zaraki nodded. With a powerful sweep of his Zanpakuto, he sent the Senbonzakura surrounding them flying. Faced with the fierce sword wind, Shiba Isshin barely managed to keep his footing.

Just as he was about to raise his blade and eliminate Shiba Isshin, a figure he had been searching for appeared.

"Little brother, this time it's my turn to interrupt you."

Kyōraku Shunsui, positioned high above, brought both blades down, forcing Kenpachi Zaraki to raise his sword to block.

The crushing force directly split the Soul Arena Stage beneath Kenpachi Zaraki's feet, yet his body did not bend in the slightest.

"Heh heh, done playing around?" Kenpachi Zaraki teased.

"Hm?" Kyōraku Shunsui frowned. Feeling the force transmitted through his blades, he realized something was wrong and tried to retreat.

But that man appeared directly above him.

"I heard that within the range of your Soul Power, attacks from above become several times stronger. I wonder whether you can block this strike of mine?"

Kyōraku Shunsui turned around in surprise. At some point, Kenpachi Zaraki had already appeared above him, his blade descending like a mountain.

This is bad!

Boom!

Kenpachi Zaraki's slash sent Kyōraku Shunsui crashing straight into the Soul Arena Stage. The mountain-shattering strike passed through Kyōraku Shunsui's body and into the stage, causing massive cracks to spread across the entire arena.

Kyōraku Shunsui lay in the shattered crater and did not rise again.

"Damn!" Shihouin Yoruichi's figure was exposed by the tremor.

"Kitty, got you!" Kenpachi Zaraki appeared beside Shihouin Yoruichi once again.

"Bastard!" Shihouin Yoruichi threw a punch, meeting Kenpachi Zaraki's sword head-on. In terms of strength, she was utterly inferior to Kenpachi Zaraki and was about to be sent flying by brute force.

Shunko!

Boom!

Two immense forces collided, and the Soul Arena Stage cracked once more.

Shihouin Yoruichi, fighting at full strength, battled Kenpachi Zaraki across the arena. Everywhere they went, the Soul Arena Stage was left in a battle-damaged state.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others could not help swallowing at the sight.

"My god, this is the first time I've seen someone fight Kenpachi Zaraki like this," Dai Mubai said, his heart trembling.

Even Tang San nodded in agreement. If he relied only on his Martial Soul and did not use hidden weapons, he truly might not be able to defeat Kenpachi Zaraki—and that would be while fighting him in a mobile, evasive manner.

As for confronting Kenpachi Zaraki head-on, even Teacher Zhao Wuji would not dare do so without using his Martial Soul Avatar.

They had always thought Shihouin Yoruichi was an agility attack-type Battle Soul Master. Who would have thought she was actually a Power Attack System fighter?

At that moment, Shiba Isshin and Kuchiki Byakuya began enjoying the healing of their only support while watching the show.

"Kuchiki, who do you think will win—Miss Yoruichi or that Kenpachi Zaraki?"

"I don't know. But Kenpachi Zaraki's Soul Power is higher than Yoruichi's. Yoruichi might lose."

"No way. Yoruichi is so fast. How could she possibly lose?" Shiba Isshin shook his head.

"No matter how fast she is, she still cannot win. Haven't you noticed that Miss Yoruichi has not been fighting seriously at all? Kenpachi Zaraki is the only one going all out." As he spoke, Kuchiki Byakuya kicked Kyōraku Shunsui.

"If you're fine, stop playing dead!"

Lying on the ground, Kyōraku Shunsui weakly waved a hand. "Stop bothering me. Let me lie here for a while. The ground is pretty cool."

As he spoke, Kyōraku Shunsui turned his head toward the masked support and asked, "You're just going to watch?"

The masked young woman spoke softly. "No. I'm waiting. I'm waiting for their strongest moment."

Kyōraku Shunsui buried his head again and muttered, "Suit yourself."

Seeing the four people on her side watching the show, Dugu Yan was furious.

"Hey, you guys, give me a hand!"

At that moment, Dugu Yan was not only being entangled by Zhu Zhuqing, but also besieged by the newly joined Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others. Even if she used Soul Beast Transformation again, it was useless.

Fighting three alone was simply too exhausting.

"Yan Er, do your best. We're seriously injured and receiving treatment," Shiba Isshin joked.

"You bastards!"

Seeing that none of them would do anything, Dugu Yan simply stopped fighting. She jumped straight off the stage and rolled her eyes at Shiba Isshin and Kuchiki Byakuya.

"I'm done serving you lot!"

Seeing Dugu Yan act this way, Shiba Isshin smiled and nudged Kuchiki Byakuya with his elbow.

"What do you say?"

Kuchiki Byakuya said flatly, "I have no interest in them."

Shiba Isshin shrugged. "I'm tired too. Fighting Kenpachi Zaraki takes too much effort."

After freeing Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each other. Zhu Zhuqing clenched her teeth and nodded.

Martial Soul Fusion—Hell White Tiger!

The instant Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's bodies fused, a massive white tiger appeared on the Soul Arena Stage. Its entire body was translucent, with white fur and black stripes, purple eyes with double pupils, and it stared coldly at Kuchiki Byakuya and the other four.

The instant she saw that white tiger, the masked woman's body trembled. A blade appeared in her hand, which she slowly drew as she said excitedly,

"This is the moment I've been waiting for!"
