After joining Skywater Academy, Chen Ping'an had gone through countless team battles and two-on-two Spirit Arena Competitions, accumulating a total of four hundred and sixty-six victories.

Yet throughout all those battles, Chen Ping'an had never made a move. He had merely coasted along.

Quite a few Skywater Academy students were dissatisfied with this.

Only Zhu Zhuqing knew that Chen Ping'an simply disdained taking action.

If Chen Ping'an made a move, the entire Great Soul Arena would be reduced to rubble.

Although the other students were dissatisfied, they did not dare act out for Zhu Zhuqing's sake.

They could only whisper among themselves in private.

As Chen Ping'an joined Skywater Academy, the name "Chen Ping'an" also resounded throughout the entire Great Soul Arena.

Wang Ke had once doubted whether Chen Ping'an was really that incredible. Why had he never made a move?

At this moment, the Skywater Team, having just finished a team battle, returned together to High-Level VIP Room No. 2.

After every team battle, everyone had to gather for a review in order to improve their combat ability.

"Teacher, I have an objection. Why hasn't he made a move from beginning to end?"

Xue Wu pointed at Chen Ping'an. She had long harbored resentment over his refusal to act. She had gone to the teacher several times before, but had always been brushed off.

As the vice-captain, she had to get to the bottom of this matter.

"Vice-Captain, look at the kind of opponents we've been facing. Zhu Zhuqing and the captain can handle them, and even we rarely need to make a move."

"Exactly! Ping An Gege was able to train Zhu Zhuqing to be so powerful, so he must be incredibly strong himself. He doesn't act because he wants to temper us."

"That's right. Haven't you noticed? Our overall strength has improved quite a bit lately. Even my Soul Power has gone up by a level."

"..."

Seeing them argue endlessly, Shui Binger said, "All right, let's leave it at that. Ping An Gege naturally has his reasons for not acting. As long as we can improve ourselves through battle, that's enough."

As she spoke, the look in Shui Binger's eyes when she looked at Chen Ping'an changed slightly.

She really wanted to know Chen Ping'an's secret.

How could such a young and handsome man train Zhu Zhuqing into someone so formidable?

The change in her gaze vanished in an instant.

The others also quieted down.

From beginning to end, Wang Ke had not said a word. She could not discern Chen Ping'an's true strength, so she remained skeptical.

Still, the academy was already fortunate enough to have found a student as outstanding as Zhu Zhuqing.

Just as Shui Binger finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing spoke as well.

"Binger is right. Ping An Gege is really powerful. I've seen him fight, so stop talking nonsense."

Zhu Zhuqing's status in their hearts was vaguely beginning to surpass even Shui Binger's.

Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing was the only one familiar with Chen Ping'an. Once she spoke, everyone fell silent.

"Xiao Zhu is right. Cultivate diligently. I'm going back to sleep."

Chen Ping'an stretched and yawned, then pushed open the door and left for his own lounge.

After Chen Ping'an left, Shui Binger also casually found an excuse to leave. Only Zhu Zhuqing remained, surrounded by the other students and unable to get away.

Seeing how eager everyone was to learn, Wang Ke was quite pleased.

Leaving the space to them, she went to watch the matches herself.

After Shui Binger left, she followed the same route as before and made her way to Chen Ping'an's lounge.

She walked especially slowly, partly to prepare herself mentally.

With a nervous heart, she soon arrived at the door to Chen Ping'an's lounge.

Shui Binger took a deep breath.

She raised her hand to knock, only to discover at the instant she did so that the door was unlocked and opened right away.

The unexpected turn of events made her somewhat flustered.

She quickly looked left and right. Seeing no one around, she pushed the door open and entered, then locked it behind her.

Her movements flowed in one smooth sequence, remarkably practiced.

Only after closing the door did she breathe a sigh of relief. It would be terrible if someone discovered her.

"Um, Ping An Gege, I also want to take you as my master and cultivate with you."

Shui Binger had a considerable advantage in age, so she did not stammer like Zhu Zhuqing had before.

Her attitude was also extremely sincere.

"Not a bad attitude. Then put your hair up."

Chen Ping'an nodded in satisfaction.

"Ah~"

Shui Binger's little face flushed red. She instantly understood what Chen Ping'an meant.

Before coming here, she had already prepared herself mentally. After all, there was no such thing as a free meal in this world.

Especially when she was facing such an exceptionally handsome man.

So she submitted to Chen Ping'an.

At this time, after a series of high-intensity training sessions, Shrek Academy had also returned to the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City.

Every one of them had improved greatly.

Tang San in particular.

In order to catch up to Zhu Zhuqing, he had trained day and night. He had now reached Level 35.

He was ready to make a name for himself at the Great Soul Arena.

Shrek had also recruited two new students with excellent talent, further increasing their overall strength.

Yu Xiaogang was especially pleased with himself as he led the Shrek Seven Devils to the registration desk in the team battle area. He took out the Shrek Seven Devils' team battle registration badge and handed it to the staff member, saying arrogantly, "Hurry up and register us for a team battle."

This team battle would be the proof of his training results these past days. He wanted to prove that he had not been wrong.

The staff member glanced at Yu Xiaogang with a face full of disdain.

Only then did he take the badge. When he saw the words engraved on it, his disdain deepened. "Shrek Seven Devils?"

He looked toward the staff member beside him. Neither of them had ever heard of that name.

It was obviously some no-name team from some no-name academy.

Yu Xiaogang immediately flared up at the sight of those two staff members.

He was the man who had proposed the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul. Even a Soul Douluo would respectfully address him as Master, yet today he was being looked down upon by two staff members.

If his strength had been sufficient, he would have smashed the place up today.

"Please process it for us as soon as possible!"

Seeing his teacher being humiliated, Tang San could no longer endure it and stepped forward.

Not only that, Dai Mubai and the others behind him also stepped forward.

The staff member rolled his eyes at Tang San and said impatiently, "What's the rush? What's the rush? It's not like I'm refusing to process it for you."

"You—"

Dai Mubai raised his fist, intending to strike, but Tang San immediately stopped him.

If he really struck, they would lose their qualification to compete here.

Then the academy's funding would also be cut off.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Tang San suppressed his temper and continued in a humble tone.

It was not until five minutes later that the staff member finished registering their information.
