Nine Sons of the Dragon in the Sleeve, Crushing Xu Sanshi!

"Agree!"

"Agree quickly!"

"Yuhao, show us your best grilled fish skills!"

"Many people never encounter an opportunity to change their Destiny in their lifetime, but now, that opportunity is right in front of you—seize it!"

"If you miss this opportunity that could be seized with just a grilled fish, don't ever say you were chosen by me, because I can't afford to lose face like that!"

Within Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Space, the Sky Dream Ice Worm let out another piercing scream, as if afraid Huo Yuhao wouldn't understand the concept of "two hands" mentioned by a God Trial Taker. Its excited barrier split open. "Silly boy, let me tell you, a genius who becomes God Trial Taker at this age, even if what he just said was a joke, he'd accept it, because he wouldn't stoop to deceiving you, much less abandon his reputation for you. Don't be fooled by his claim of teaching you two practical little tricks; God Trial Taker and Deity don't possess little tricks, only grand techniques, possibly even Self-Created Soul Skill. As long as you master this move, crossing ten levels and defeating your opponent won't be a problem!"

Huo Yuhao got goosebumps.

He guessed that the little trick Ye Qingcang mentioned must be quite something.

But I never expected that Brother Tianmeng would exaggerate like that.

Master one move, and winning across ten levels will be no problem.

In an instant, Huo Yuhao recalled the arrogant Dai Huabin, the ruthless Duchess, the Duke's Mansion that only made him feel cold, and his nominal father!

"Don't let hatred control your mind..." The gray orb trembled slightly, and a powerful soul fluctuation shook Sky Dream Ice Worm aside.

"Don't let hatred control your emotions..." Ye Qingcang's words were almost identical to the light sphere's admonition. However, compared to the silent gray light sphere in Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Space, Ye Qingcang's words were much longer, more realistic, and more cruel:

"Strength is a wonderful thing."

"Once you have power, you can change everything you want to change, but remember: it is always people who control power, not power that controls people."

"You have a lot of hatred in your eyes."

"I'm not asking you to let go of hatred, nor am I asking you to tolerate hatred. What I mean is: to overcome hatred, you must first understand hatred. Only by understanding hatred better than hatred itself, and understanding your opponent better than your opponent, can you maintain a clear vision and try not to fall into some crude traps that exploit human weaknesses."

"Of course, there's another reason why I advise you not to let hatred affect you: emotions can affect the quality of food. I want to eat a steaming hot grilled fish that always looks forward to the future and never stops fighting, not a standard grilled fish that's delicious for the sake of being delicious."

"This kind of standardized grilled fish has no soul."

Watching Huo Yuhao nervously start the fire and tend the charcoal, his wrist trembling as he took out the marinated grilled fish from the box, as if he were carrying a great deal of pressure, Ye Qingcang stopped Huo Yuhao in time before the grilled fish was placed on the grill and said the following to Huo Yuhao.

"Been taught a lesson..."

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then nodded seriously.

The fluctuating emotions gradually calmed down.

The movements became much more natural.

Watching Ye Qingcang withdraw his hand and chat with his Grandmaster Bei Bei, Teacher Xiao Ya, and Sister Nan Nan whom he had just met, he cleared his mind of all distractions and began to cook the grilled fish with a serious attitude towards food.

"This child has unlimited potential..." The gray sphere of light slowly rotated within Huo Yuhao's space, and the seemingly pointless statement was met with a rebuttal from Sky Dream Ice Worm: "Nonsense, this is a once-in-ten-thousand-years God Trial Taker!"

"God Trial Taker?" The gray orb seemed to regain some consciousness, though it didn't understand why it had recovered so quickly—as if some blood clots had been cleared, or some barrier had been broken down, and its entire being had been elevated. Yet, the gray orb still used its limited Soul Power to explain, "No, no, no, I'm not talking about power, but about this child's heart; his heart, his thoughts, his understanding and capacity for tolerance are far beyond what a child his age should possess!"

"Talking to a brick wall..." Sky Dream Ice Worm couldn't understand the meaning of this gray orb of light, nor was it interested in studying it. Swaying its plump body, it sat in the Spiritual Space, chatting idly with Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, don't believe this thing. Whether we have a grudge or not isn't important right now. What's important right now is the grilled fish!"

"I understand, Brother Tianmeng." Huo Yuhao was speechless. "So, could you please stop bothering me? Talking is distracting..."

Sky Dream Ice Worm was immediately choked and became depressed.

But then I thought about Ye Qingcang's promise.

She kept her mouth shut to avoid distracting Huo Yuhao.

Just as Huo Yuhao was focused on grilling fish, and Ye Qingcang and Jiang Nannan were chatting idly to the side, a young man dressed in black strode over from a distance. Behind him were several young men wearing Shrek Academy uniforms, who appeared to be his followers or underlings.

"Nan Nan!"

The young man in black shouted enthusiastically.

Looking at Jiang Nannan's clothes, especially her high heels and long legs, he felt a surge of envy.

Until Jiang Nannan dodged to the side.

He flashed to Ye Qingcang's side, blocking his view.

The young man in black finally came to his senses.

He sized Ye Qingcang up and down with a hostile gaze. Without even saying a word, one could tell from his eyes that the newcomer was up to no good, "This student looks unfamiliar. He shouldn't be a student of our Shrek Academy. After all, in the Shrek Academy, who doesn't know that Jiang Nannan is my sweetheart, Xu Sanshi's beloved? Who dares to compete with me Xu Sanshi, for Jiang Nannan?"

"Xu Sanshi!" Jiang Nannan's fist hardened. "Liking me is your right, but whether I like you or not is my right. I've made it very clear that I don't like you, so please don't harass me, and don't make things difficult for my friends by harassing me!"

"This kid's your friend?" Xu Sanshi's reply was full of disdain, his overly arrogant attitude causing Sky Dream Ice Worm to silently mourn for him. "He's not all that great... Just like Nan Nan said: whether I like you or not is my right, Xu Sanshi's right, and whether you like me or not is your right, Jiang Nannan's right; so to put it another way, it's my right to make things difficult for whomever I want, and it's none of your business; besides, I remember that Shrek Academy has a rule prohibiting outsiders from entering the school for visits, and I need this kid to accompany me to the Dean's Office, is there a problem?"

"You..."

Jiang Nannan stomped her foot.

Four Soul Ring rose up from beneath his feet in succession.

The combination of two purple and two black items left Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao, three people who had never witnessed Jiang Nannan in action, completely stunned, rubbing their eyes in disbelief.

What is the optimal Soul Ring combination?

Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red!

With these two purple and two black rings, are you planning to get your seventh Soul Ring to be 100,000 years old?

Even if Wang Dong considers himself a genius.

Even if Xiao Xiao considers herself a genius.

Even with these four Soul Ring, he couldn't help but fall silent.

Fortunately, Tang Ya, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others had already gotten used to it.

Even someone like Ye Qingcang, whose Soul Ring Configuration was even more outrageous, was used to it.

He even calmly picked up the fish that Huo Yuhao had just grilled, cut off one, and held it to Jiang Nannan's mouth. He took the other two, took a bite, and continued to quote a paraphrase of Xu Sanshi's theory, "Don't be angry, try the fish first. I think it tastes pretty good. To paraphrase this Xu Sanshi: it's his right to make things difficult for someone, it's his right to ask someone to cooperate with him to go to the Dean's Office, and it's also my right not to listen or accept... The mouth has many uses, not just arguing. Observe more, think more, do less, and say less. There's no need to ruin our rare relaxed mood because of some trivial troubles."

"Too kind!"

"You're so broad-minded!"

The Sky Dream Ice Worm prostrated itself in Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Space, tears welling in its eyes. Although it was now just a soul, and its tears were feigned, the nauseatingly sycophantic praise did indeed come from its mouth, making Huo Yuhao inexplicably uncomfortable. "If it were me, this little bastard would have been chopped to pieces long ago and used as a snack. How could I tolerate this stupid little bastard smugly showing off in front of me!"

Huo Yuhao had gotten used to Sky Dream Ice Worm's erratic behavior.

Look at Xu Sanshi is gradually turning red.

Then look at Ye Qingcang, who is leisurely eating grilled fish.

Although he didn't understand where the mercy lay, he could still see the obvious difference between Xu Sanshi and Ye Qingcang: "This Xu Sanshi feels like a clown; even Brother Qingcang wouldn't bother looking at him..."

"Still calling him Brother Qingcang!" Sky Dream Ice Worm used its mental power to create a pointer, and in the Spiritual Space, it smacked Huo Yuhao on the forehead with a "smack." The obsequious attitude made Huo Yuhao feel a little sour, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Yuhao, if you were God Trial Taker, based on your ages and the divine ranks you inherited, only then would you be qualified to call him brother, or for him to call you brother. Don't be so ambitious. You are just an ordinary person now. The god-making plan has only just begun. You and he are from two different worlds. It's understandable that others don't understand, but since you know his identity, you can't comfortably take advantage of him in terms of address, do you hear me?"

"It's alright, don't listen to its nonsense." Ye Qingcang patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder. Before he knew it, he had finished one fish and was eating the second one. The sudden answer almost made Huo Yuhao's heart stop, "I still like this name very much. The value of a name is for others to call me. I'm a human being too, and I won't fight over someone's words..."

In Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Space.

Sky Dream Ice Worm gave an awkward smile.

We're doomed.

He was caught red-handed during his outburst.

I'll never be able to go out and see anyone again.

However, although it sounds slow, it's actually very fast. Ye Qingcang ate the fish very quickly. All the small and large bones in the fish were crushed into bone powder by his forty teeth in one bite, just like eating cartilage. He chewed it and swallowed it. From the time Xu Sanshi finished shouting to the time Ye Qingcang finished answering, and then to the time when Sky Dream Ice Worm Silkworm went crazy and was caught red-handed, it only took four or five seconds for Xu Sanshi's red temperature to be fully restored, while Ye Qingcang had already finished everything.

"Since we've come this far..." Xu Sanshi activated his Martial Soul in an instant, two yellow and two purple ones, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind. Holding the shield of the Black Tortoise Turtle, he charged forward and smashed it down towards Ye Qingcang: "As a student of the Shrek Academy, taking you down is my right!"

Jiang Nannan is Xu Sanshi's Achilles' heel.

He couldn't back down in front of his former love.

Therefore, this attack, which was a mixture of old and new grudges, was unexpected not only by Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, who knew nothing about Xu Sanshi, but also by Tang Ya, Bei Bei, and Jiang Nannan, who knew Xu Sanshi to some extent. They did not expect Xu Sanshi to be so reckless.

"Stop!" Bei Bei summoned her Martial Soul.

However, before he could move, he saw Ye Qingcang take the bamboo skewer from the grilled fish he had just finished eating, and with a casual thrust, pierce through the paper-thin Black Tortoise Turtle Shield, precisely hitting Xu Sanshi's Adam's apple. The bamboo skewer, only thirty centimeters long, became an insurmountable barrier for the Black Tortoise Turtle Shield in Xu Sanshi's hand!

But the problem is... it's just a bamboo skewer!

A bamboo skewer for skewering fish!

It's not some kind of divine weapon!

It's not some kind of martial Martial Soul with maximum sharpness!

"See that?" Sky Dream Ice Worm instantly revived, patting Huo Yuhao's frozen face, and boasted, "You made the bamboo skewer yourself. Can you subdue a berserk defensive Soul Ancestor with a 30-centimeter bamboo skewer without summoning your Martial Soul...? Think about it again, if you learn the essence of this move and replace the bamboo skewer with a longsword, how much would that improve your close combat ability?"

Huo Yuhao's expression remained stiff.

But the light in his eyes gradually brightened.

Just like Tang Ya, Bei Bei, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao and a few others.

One move decides the outcome.

Only then can the difference be shown.

"That's it?" Xiao Xiao patted her face, found her own fish from the second batch of grilled fish, broke off one of the bamboo skewers, heard a crisp "snap," and looked at Xu Sanshi, who dared not move at all. "This... this... this isn't right, is it?"

"Why escalate a verbal dispute to a physical fight?" Ye Qingcang shook his head, his fingers twirling the bamboo skewer, sending a white vortex of air hurling Xu Sanshi away, slamming him heavily onto the open ground a short distance away. But before Xu Sanshi could even catch his breath, before Sky Dream Ice Worm could denounce this excessive mercy, Ye Qingcang removed the bracelet from his wrist and tossed it into the air. Nine ferocious and divine beasts detached from the bracelet. "Since we've started fighting, how we fight is naturally up to me, the stronger one... Don't say I'm unfair, because this is my right, my rules of the game!"

Qiu Niu, Ya Zi;

Chao Feng, Pu Lao;

Suan Ni, Bi Xi;

Bi An, Fu Xi;

And finally, the Chi Wen!

Among them, Ya Zi is inhabited by the soul of the Fire Dragon King, while Chi Wen is inhabited by the soul of the Ice Dragon King. As a toy that Ye Qingcang plays with every day, this bracelet of the Nine Sons of the Dragon is no ordinary object. Not to mention Ya Zi and Chi Wen, just the other seven ancient beasts that have not yet found suitable dragon souls to fill are all comparable to the Four Symbols when they are at the same level!

If Xu Sanshi's Martial Soul were not the Black Tortoise Turtle, but the Xuanwu, he might have a chance to escape unscathed in a one-on-one fight against one of the Nine Sons of the Dragon of the dragon. However, if all Nine Sons of the Dragon were present, and two of them were fought by the Dragon King, Xu Sanshi's Black Tortoise Turtle would truly be beaten into a pulp!

Even water, which is the Black Tortoise Turtle's forte...

"A trivial matter!" The Chi Wen, who resided in the soul of the Ice Dragon King —and was also the soul of the Water Dragon King Nine Sons of the Dragon, for ice and water were inseparable—simply uttered a single, understated sentence. With just three simple words, he had Xu Sanshi trapped in his own web. Under the watchful eyes of Xu Sanshi's henchmen and the horrified gazes of many new and old students around him, he stripped Xu Sanshi of his water control abilities. Finally, with a servile, obsequious tone, he said, "A bastard like you dares to steal a mate from your master? You're tired of living!"

Four thousand words, I squeezed them dry...
