Ling Yuan Descends! One Strike Shatters the Mighty Vajra Palm!

Tang San helped Xiao Wu up, his gaze toward Long Tian filled with killing intent.

Ma Hongjun, meanwhile, had been dragged far away by Oscar and could only lie limply on the ground.

Zhao Wuji continued forward.

With every step he took, a deep crater was left in the ground.

"Long Tian, kneel!"

"Destroy your own Soul Power, and Zhao will still grant you a swift death!"

Long Tian raised his eyes toward the Mighty Vajra Bear.

Nine-Colored Divine Light slowly flowed through his eyes.

"The Unmoving Bright King's reputation precedes him, yet seeing you today, you are nothing more than this."

"A dignified Level 76 Soul Sage, actually trying to kill two Soul Elders."

"Is bullying the younger generation the rule taught by Shrek Academy?"

Zhao Wuji's expression darkened.

"Shut up!"

"You injured Shrek students, yet you still dare to twist the truth here!"

"Since you refuse to kneel, Zhao will break both your legs!"

The soul ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up.

Powerful golden Soul Power gathered entirely into his right palm.

"Mighty Vajra Palm!"

Zhao Wuji struck out with his palm.

Golden light soared into the sky.

A bear paw several zhang wide condensed in midair, its palm lines distinct and its edges wrapped in heavy ripples of Soul Power.

Before the giant palm even descended, the ground had already caved in with a deafening crash.

Cracks spread outward in every direction, while the surrounding trees were bent and snapped beneath the pressure.

If this strike landed on Long Tian, there would be no chance of survival.

The spirits of the Shrek group soared.

Dai Mubai revealed a look of satisfaction.

Xiao Wu stared fixedly at the golden bear paw in midair.

Tang San even stepped forward.

"Teacher Zhao, kill him!"

"Someone who betrayed the academy will only become a future threat if he is spared!"

"Wait!"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly raised a hand.

"Zhao Wuji, don't kill him yet."

Zhao Wuji's movement paused slightly.

Yu Xiaogang stared at the pitch-black soul ring beneath Long Tian's feet, a fiery light flashing through his eyes.

Even now, Yu Xiaogang still could not understand it.

How could a Level 30 Soul Master possibly withstand the energy impact of a ten-thousand-year soul ring?

Such an existence, one that defied all common sense, had already surpassed every research record.

"Just cripple him."

"Long Tian's body may be hiding some special secret."

"His ten-thousand-year third soul ring and the reason for his Martial Soul Evolution are both worth studying in detail."

"Such a rare experimental specimen would be too wasteful to kill outright."

Shui Bing'er's pretty face turned pale at his words.

"Watch out!"

The golden bear paw came crashing down.

Terrifying power sealed off every inch of space around Long Tian.

Yet the white-clad figure remained standing where he was.

He did not dodge.

He did not retreat.

Under the golden glow, his handsome face appeared even more bewitching and noble.

His Nine-Colored Double Pupils calmly regarded Zhao Wuji, his expression utterly composed.

That attitude made the muscles in Zhao Wuji's face twitch.

"Courting death!"

Vast Soul Power poured into the palm imprint once more.

The enormous bear paw's might surged explosively as it smashed viciously toward Long Tian with the force to crush everything.

Just as the palm imprint was about to fall.

A shrill bird cry tore through the sky.

Crimson fire streaked over from the distance.

The flames swelled with the wind, transforming in an instant into a massive blazing bird with a wingspan of dozens of zhang.

Its scorching wings swept across the air and collided head-on with the golden bear paw.

Boom!

The two currents of Soul Power exploded in midair.

Zhao Wuji's full-power palm imprint was blasted to pieces by the blazing bird in a single strike!

The blazing bird swept across the sky.

The golden bear paw shattered with a thunderous crash, turning into countless specks of Soul Power that scattered through the air.

The remaining force of the flames did not dissipate. Instead, it crashed heavily down before Shrek Academy's gates.

Boom!

Crimson fire shot into the heavens as the ground instantly exploded into a massive crater.

Scalding shockwaves spread in all directions, melting ice crystals one after another along the way and snapping the surrounding trees in half.

Zhao Wuji's expression changed drastically.

That power had far exceeded the limit a Soul Sage could withstand.

His burly body staggered back again and again, every step stamping a deep footprint into the ground.

Only after retreating dozens of meters did Zhao Wuji barely steady himself.

Everyone from Shrek stood frozen in place.

Dai Mubai looked at the scattered firelight in the sky, the satisfaction on his face completely gone.

Tang San's pupils contracted. The Mysterious Heaven Skill rapidly circulated, yet he still could not catch a trace of the attacker.

"What happened?"

"Teacher Zhao's Mighty Vajra Palm was actually shattered in one blow?"

Oscar's face went pale as he hurriedly dragged Ma Hongjun farther back.

Yu Xiaogang looked up at the sky, intense unease rising in his heart.

At that moment.

A crimson feather slowly drifted down from high above.

Above the clouds, firelight gathered.

A pair of enormous flaming wings unfolded, their scorching radiance illuminating all of Shrek Academy.

At the center of those wings, an exquisitely beautiful woman in a red gown descended through the air.

Her fiery red hair fluttered in the wind, while her fitted long dress outlined her mature, voluptuous figure.

Her snow-white legs showed through the high slit in her skirt. Flames condensed beneath her feet into a staircase, carrying her down toward the ground step by step.

Nine soul rings rose in succession.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.

The terrifying pressure of a Titled Douluo instantly blanketed the entire area.

Spirit Kite Douluo landed before Long Tian, the fiery wings behind her slowly folding away.

Her beautiful eyes swept over the Shrek group before finally settling on Zhao Wuji.

"I am Spirit Kite Douluo."

"Who dares harm my disciple!"

As those brief words fell, even the surrounding air became heavy.

Zhao Wuji looked at the nine soul rings, his throat tightening.

The fighting spirit that had just risen within him completely vanished in that instant.

"A Titled Douluo?"

The words came out of Zhao Wuji's mouth with difficulty.

The Shrek group heard them clearly, and all color instantly drained from their faces.

A Titled Douluo!

That was an existence standing at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent.

Any Titled Douluo was worthy of being an honored guest of the two great empires and the Upper Three Sects.

Shrek was merely a run-down academy. How could it possibly bear the killing intent of such a powerhouse?

Xiao Wu quietly retreated behind Tang San, her eyes carrying a hint of panic.

Dai Mubai's breathing quickened, and he no longer dared utter another provocative word.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were equally stunned.

No one had expected that merely three months after leaving Shrek, Long Tian had taken a Titled Douluo as his master.

Tang San suddenly realized something and looked up at the white-clad figure.

"Did Spirit Kite Douluo just call Long Tian her disciple?"

"When did Long Tian find such a powerful teacher?"

Yu Xiaogang's lips had gone pale, and cold sweat had already soaked his back.

First, a ten-thousand-year third soul ring.

Then, a Titled Douluo personally appearing to protect him.

This support-type soul master whom Shrek had expelled with their own hands had long since grown to a height they could no longer reach.

Shui Bing'er quickly came to Long Tian's side.

When Zhao Wuji had attacked earlier, she had remained in front and to the side of Long Tian. Only now did her taut nerves finally relax.

Several shards of ice clung to her light blue dress, while the legs beneath its hem remained fair and slender.

Having activated Ultimate Ice, her delicate jade feet were covered in frost, and her round toes were faintly red.

Long Tian lowered his gaze for a look, then reached out and supported Shui Bing'er's slender arm.

"Are you hurt?"

Shui Bing'er gently shook her head, naturally leaning a little closer.

"No, I just used up quite a bit of Soul Power."

"Zhao Wuji attacked too quickly just now. Fortunately, Spirit Kite Douluo arrived in time."

Those clear, beautiful eyes carefully examined Long Tian. Only after confirming that he was uninjured did Shui Bing'er finally feel completely at ease.
