Room 108.
When Ye Ming heard Xuan Zi's heart-wrenching roar, he was briefly taken aback.
Shrek Academy was so powerful, yet someone actually dared to storm its headquarters and cause trouble.
But the very next moment, he realized just how thoroughly these people had prepared.
The instant the blazing light flashed, an earth-shattering boom rang out.
Several deafening explosions followed, and violent mushroom clouds rose into the air.
He instinctively looked out the window and saw the white teaching building in the distance reduced to rubble beneath the blast of a soul cannon!
Back when he was in school in his previous life, he had chanted, "I want to blow up the school," every day. But seeing this scene for real was unimaginably shocking!
As the teaching building was destroyed, violent shockwaves swept over, carrying billowing smoke and dust.
"Wang Dong, get down!"
He shouted in alarm, leaping forward and throwing himself onto the bed with Wang Dong in his arms.
At that moment, the aftermath of the explosion struck, slamming into the entire dormitory building.
Crack, crack, crack!
The windows shattered, and the shockwave swept the fragments into the dormitory like deadly weapons.
A series of light clinks sounded as the blast completely threw the dormitory into chaos.
Only after several breaths did the shockwave finally subside.
"That was at least the power of a Class 8 fixed-installation soul cannon..."
Ye Ming quickly got up from the bed and rushed out of the dormitory, warning Wang Dong at the same time, "Hurry! It's not safe here anymore!"
The moment he saw the soul cannon explode, Ye Ming understood that the Holy Spirit Cult was retaliating against Shrek Academy!
No wonder Jing Hongchen had suddenly visited Shrek Academy. He had come to scout them out!
In the current continent, only the Sun Moon Empire could produce so many Class 8 and Class 9 fixed-installation soul cannons at once.
This plot point had been mentioned in the original work, but the timing did not match up with the present.
Ye Ming knew that the storm stirred up by the butterfly's wings was growing ever stronger. He could no longer blindly trust the original work.
The two hurried out of the dormitory. Outside, quite a few students who had rushed out of their rooms were already gathered there.
Many had been struck by glass shards shattered by the shockwave and were crying out miserably.
The entire academy had descended into complete chaos.
"Kill!!"
"Kill all these little Shrek brats!!"
In the sky, a group of evil soul masters cloaked in black robes converged from every direction.
From the direction of the inner academy, high-level students turned into streaks of light and flew to meet the incoming evil soul masters.
The moment Ye Ming spotted Gu Yuena and Wang Qiuer, he immediately grabbed Wang Dong and pushed through the chaotic crowd toward them.
"Are you two all right?"
Wang Qiuer shook her head, still shaken as she looked at the huge crater in the distance that continued to spew smoke and dust.
A trace of wariness also appeared in Gu Yuena's eyes. This was the first time she had witnessed the explosive power of humanity's top-tier soul tools.
Even soul beasts with over a hundred thousand years of cultivation could perish in such power if they were careless.
Having witnessed the strength of soul tool technology, she finally understood how wise Ye Ming had been to send her to the Soul Guidance Department.
"Students, head toward the training field!" Zhou Yi and several teachers hurried over, urging them, "Students from the healing department, use your soul skills to help the injured!"
"It's too dangerous to stay here. Move, now!"
Hearing the teachers' voices, the panicked students gradually calmed down and ran toward the training field.
At a time like this, every building was the enemy's largest target. If they stayed any longer, no one could guarantee that another soul cannon shell would not come crashing down the next moment.
As he ran, faint glimmers shone in Ye Ming's golden and silver eyes as he looked toward Sea God Island.
He saw the barrier formed by the Light of the Sea God shatter. Xuan Zi had transformed into Taotie and was suppressing two Titled Douluo from the Holy Spirit Cult.
Mu En, Shrek Academy's pillar, was currently being held back by Zhongli Wu and two other Titled Douluo.
Within the inner academy, countless students had already clashed with the evil soul masters.
The entirety of Shrek Academy had fallen into utter turmoil.
And quite a few evil soul masters were already charging toward the outer academy—toward them!
As Zhou Yi and the other teachers led the students toward the training field, they suddenly saw seven or eight Soul Emperors and Soul Sages charging toward them from above with the aid of flying soul tools.
The outer academy students were not particularly strong to begin with.
If evil soul masters at the level of Soul Emperors and Soul Sages attacked them, it would be like wolves among sheep, allowing them to slaughter at will!
Zhou Yi instantly released her Red Dragon martial soul, and a Class 7 flying soul tool appeared behind her.
"All teachers, come with me! Stop these evil soul masters!"
"Upperclassmen, protect your younger schoolmates!"
The moment she finished speaking, Zhou Yi did not hesitate in the slightest. She transformed into a streak of fiery light and shot straight into the sky.
After her, streaks of light rose from the ground one after another, charging without hesitation toward the incoming evil soul masters!
Most of these teachers had once been students who graduated from Shrek Academy.
In the past, their teachers had sheltered them from wind and rain. Now it was their turn to fight for a path to survival for their own students.
The torch was passed on!
After seeing their teachers charge forward, the upperclassmen below automatically moved to the outermost edge of the crowd.
Just as Zhou Yi and the other teachers clashed with the evil soul masters, an even greater problem arose below!
After the students had gone only a short distance, a pitch-black figure silently appeared and blocked their path.
The man had short hair and an aged, imposing face. He looked to be around seventy, with a robust build and an aura of authority that commanded fear without anger.
Most importantly, nine terrifying soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—slowly rose from beneath his feet and floated into the air.
The Holy Spirit Cult's Third Elder, a Rank 91 assault-type Titled Douluo and a Class 9 soul engineer—Ming Lei Douluo!
Ming Lei looked at the hundred or so Shrek students before him and instinctively licked his lips, excitement flashing in his eyes.
These were all the continent's most gifted young talents. If they all became corpses, how delicious would the sinister energy produced by their transformation be?
But now was not the time to savor such delicacies. Capturing people was the priority.
His gaze swept over the students as he said coldly, "Who is Ye Ming? Step forward yourself!"
"Delay me for one minute, and I'll kill every last one of you!!"
At the center of the crowd, Ye Ming's gaze narrowed slightly. He had never dealt with evil soul masters, so why had the Holy Spirit Cult targeted him?
Could it be that old bastard Jing Hongchen could not accept losing, so he had colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult to silence him?
He did not speak, and neither did any of the students.
Ming Lei Douluo frowned. He slightly raised his right hand, and dark green halos flickered within gray-black lightning as he said sinisterly, "Not admitting it?"
"Do you want to get all these students killed because of you alone?"
At that moment, Bei Bei, standing at the outer edge of the crowd, stepped forward and said coldly, "I'm Ye Ming!"
Ming Lei Douluo swept his gaze over him, and his expression immediately darkened. With a casual wave of his hand, a bolt of sinister lightning struck Bei Bei directly, blasting him backward as blood spurted from his mouth.
"This old man doesn't have that much patience to waste on you!"
"Ye Ming, if you don't come out now, this old man will start slaughtering!"
The moment his words fell, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and the other upperclassmen all stepped forward. "We're all Ye Ming!"
"Fine, fine, fine! You all want to die, is that it?" Ming Lei was furious as his spiritual power swept across the crowd.
Ye Ming was about to move when a hand suddenly reached out and stopped him.
It was Dai Huabin.
"Even though I can't stand you, I can't stand evil soul masters even more!"
He turned to look at Zhu Lu. When their gazes met, the two embraced, and a Netherworld White Tiger instantly charged toward Ming Lei Douluo.
At the same time, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo snorted softly from within the crowd. "Heavenly Net!"
The two martial soul fusion skills joined forces and attacked Ming Lei Douluo.
Unfortunately, the gap between them and a Titled Douluo was simply too vast!
Ming Lei Douluo merely struck out with both palms, casually knocking them out of their martial soul fusion states.
Looking at the fallen students, Ye Ming took a deep breath and muttered, "The academy higher-ups having a bad reputation has nothing to do with the students."
"This time, you've got me beat."
"But showing off isn't your job yet!"
He took Wang Qiuer's hand in his left and Gu Yuena's hand in his right, murmuring, "Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
In an instant, golden and silver light erupted from the three of them and shot into the sky!
