One Finger Defeats the Soul Saint

"How... how is this possible?"

Zhao Wuji was incredulous. Although he hadn't used his soul skills, he was a Soul Saint!

Yet, Ye Xuan had dodged this punch with such ease.

He hadn't even sensed any fluctuations of soul power from Ye Xuan. Just what kind of monster was this?

Zhao Wuji dared not test him further and immediately unleashed his fourth soul skill, Position Tracking.

After locking onto Ye Xuan, he followed up with his second soul skill, Vajra Palm.

He struck directly toward Ye Xuan.

"I'd like to see how you dodge this time!" he roared.

"Dodging? Isn't that simple enough?"

Ye Xuan smiled and immediately executed Sword Qi Afterimage.

The target Zhao Wuji had locked onto was transferred to the afterimage created by the sword qi.

Seeing that he was about to strike Ye Xuan, Zhao Wuji laughed wildly, "Kid, die!"

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, the Ye Xuan before him dissipated.

Zhao Wuji felt a sense of foreboding. He looked ahead and saw Ye Xuan smiling at him from the opposite side, saying, "Is that all the Immovable Wisdom King has to offer? Only one move left, you know!"

"Damn it."

Zhao Wuji let out a roar and lunged at Ye Xuan once more.

This attack, fueled by shame and anger, was even easier for Ye Xuan to evade.

After he struck the Sword Qi Afterimage once again, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Now, it's my turn!"

With that, Ye Xuan raised his hand and pointed into the air.

Sword qi gathered at his fingertip, as if he were holding a sharp blade.

His figure flashed rapidly as he charged straight at Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji flew outside, his soul power surging.

"Sixth soul skill, Immovable Wisdom King True Form."

He transformed into a ten-meter-tall Vajra Giant Bear.

He pressed his hands together in front of him to meet Ye Xuan's strike.

Ye Xuan arrived in a flash, the sword qi at his fingertip continuously slicing through Zhao Wuji's defenses.

Layer after layer of defense was torn apart.

"Rip!"

A scarlet wound was instantly carved into Zhao Wuji's arm. Zhao Wuji's Immovable Wisdom King True Form dissipated, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He looked at Ye Xuan in horror and asked, "May I ask who you are, Senior?"

"Didn't Dai Mubai tell you? I am Ye Xuan. I am no senior," Ye Xuan replied.

"Zhao Wuji was ignorant of the heights of the world and came to disturb you, Senior. I hope you can forgive me." Zhao Wuji ignored his pain and hurriedly apologized.

He was certain that if he truly offended this person, it wouldn't just be him—the entire Shrek Academy would suffer.

He had brought this upon himself, and he wouldn't mind being taught a lesson, but if he harmed Shrek Academy, he would have no face to see anyone as an elder.

"I truly don't care about someone as ignorant as you," Ye Xuan said dismissively. He then glanced at the pale-faced Dai Mubai and teased, "If you are unconvinced, you can come find me anytime. Hmm, next time, I can use my martial soul to duel you."

"This junior was blind before; I will not dare to offend you again," Dai Mubai dared not provoke Ye Xuan any further.

Ye Xuan's strength was clear for all to see. If even Zhao Wuji could be defeated like this, how could he ever hope to catch up to Ye Xuan?

"What? After seeing my strength, you're afraid? Let me give you some confidence: my martial soul isn't strong, it's only level 20 right now," Ye Xuan said with a smile.

"Level 20?" Dai Mubai was skeptical.

"That's right, level 20. Of course, if you don't dare to face a level 20 soul master like me, I can understand. After all, you were always a cowardly person." Ye Xuan said with contempt.

Back in the Star Luo Empire, he hadn't dared to contend with his brother.

After fleeing to the Heaven Dou Empire, if he had even a shred of fighting spirit, he should have been training hard here, hoping to surpass his brother and fight his way back to the Star Luo Empire.

Instead, he had come here and wallowed in self-degradation.

Ye Xuan truly looked down on him for his past behavior.

"You... fine. Then I will challenge you now. Let's duel with our martial souls."

Dai Mubai was provoked, erupting with his martial soul, ready to fight Ye Xuan to the death.

"Forget it for today. Hurry up and take Zhao Wuji away! Come find me once you're prepared," Ye Xuan said, glancing into the distance with a smile.

Not far away stood three people.

Those three were none other than Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong.

After learning that Zhao Wuji had taken Tang San and the others away from the academy, Xiao Wu called for Zhu Zhuqing and the rest to follow them quietly.

They had all witnessed how Ye Xuan had severely injured Zhao Wuji just moments ago.

Ye Xuan had challenged Dai Mubai to a fight simply to find some amusement in his daily life.

However, since Zhu Zhuqing and the others were present, he decided to let today's battle slide.

Meanwhile, Tang San was deep in thought over a particular question.

Having watched Ye Xuan's movements earlier, he was certain that what Ye Xuan used was similar to the martial arts from his past life.

The only difference was that the internal energy Ye Xuan cultivated was a powerful, divine art he had never encountered in his previous life.

This left Tang San deeply puzzled: why did the internal energy he cultivated eventually convert into spirit power, while Ye Xuan's remained in its original form?

If not for the crowd present, Tang San would have wanted to ask Ye Xuan for guidance immediately.

In the end, he held back, deciding to wait a while longer before seeking advice in private.

Ma Hongjun, on the other hand, recovered from his brief shock and immediately walked over to support Zhao Wuji, saying, "Teacher Zhao, let's go."

Only then did Tang San and Dai Mubai quickly catch up.

At this moment.

Over where the three girls were.

Xiao Wu asked Zhu Zhuqing curiously, "Zhuqing, who exactly is this Big Brother Ye of yours? How old is he, really?"

After entering the academy, Xiao Wu had asked Zhu Zhuqing about Ye Xuan, but she had only gained a superficial understanding.

She hadn't expected that by following them today, she would witness such a powerful side of Ye Xuan.

Even Zhao Wuji was no match for him, which made her start to believe what Tang San had said back then.

Perhaps Ye Xuan really was some old monster who had been rejuvenated.

Regarding Xiao Wu's question, Zhu Zhuqing simply shook her head and said, "I don't know. Big Brother Ye saved me when I was in danger, and afterward, I hired him to escort me here. We don't know much about him either."

"Zhuqing, won't you take us over to meet him? He seemed to glance in this direction just now," Ning Rongrong said with anticipation.

The way Ye Xuan had defeated Zhao Wuji in a single move just now had looked incredibly cool to her.

Especially since they had been bullied by Zhao Wuji earlier, it made Ye Xuan seem even more impressive in Ning Rongrong's eyes.

"This..." Zhu Zhuqing hesitated.

"Let's go!" Ning Rongrong grabbed her hand and walked toward Ye Xuan.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu followed along as well.

Seeing the three of them approaching, Ye Xuan stopped in his tracks.

Once they were close, Zhu Zhuqing greeted him, "Big Brother Ye."

"Hmm, is there something you need?" Ye Xuan asked gently.

This? Not only is he powerful, but he's also this gentle? Upon hearing Ye Xuan's voice, Ning Rongrong found herself becoming quite infatuated.
