"Blocked it, did he?"

Su Sanjia was slightly surprised, but on second thought, Tang San was the chosen protagonist of this era. It was hardly strange for him to unleash such power.

Of course, the most important thing was that he had not used his full strength.

"Don't look down on me! Second Soul Skill, Parasitism!"

Tang San gritted his teeth and held on. For some reason, Su Sanjia's manner always filled him with an inexplicable rage. With a low roar, he activated his second Soul Skill, Parasitism. The Blue Silver Grass seeds attached to Su Sanjia's right foot began to sprout and grow, wrapping tightly around his right leg in the blink of an eye. Their potent paralytic toxin took effect, making Su Sanjia's body stiffen for an instant. Tang San seized the chance, activated the inner power of his Mysterious Heaven Skill, gathered it in his palms, and drove Su Sanjia back with a heavy strike.

"Xiao Wu!"

Blue Silver vines shot out and pulled Xiao Wu back. She immediately understood. Ignoring Dai Mubai, who had already activated his White Tiger Vajra Transformation, she tapped Tang San's palm with the tip of her foot. Borrowing the force of Tang San's push, she shot toward Su Sanjia, who had just stabilized himself, like an arrow loosed from a bow.

"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow!"

Xiao Wu twisted and flipped through the air, her legs snapping toward Su Sanjia's head like iron pincers.

"Seven Treasures Have Names: first, Strength; second, Speed!"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Rongrong's palm flared brilliantly. All three of them knew that if they wanted to last longer, the incredibly fast Su Sanjia was absolutely their first target to restrain. Meanwhile, Tang San, having coordinated with them, charged toward the imposing Dai Mubai. He abruptly bent backward, evading the sharp tiger claws, then unleashed his Mysterious Jade Palm at full force and struck Dai Mubai squarely in the chest.

Dai Mubai let out a muffled groan. That blow truly did not feel good.

But then he laughed again.

"Tang San, you really are interesting. But you're taking this assessment far too lightly!"

As though to prove Dai Mubai's words, Su Sanjia suddenly grinned as he faced the incoming Xiao Wu in the distance.

"Not bad speed!"

Su Sanjia's second Soul Ring lit up, its purple glow dazzling. Xiao Wu's pupils contracted. A thousand-year second ring—this meant Su Sanjia's second Soul Skill could rival, or perhaps even surpass, the third Soul Skill of an ordinary Soul Elder!

"Xiao Wu, be careful!"

Sensing that powerful fluctuation of Soul Power, Tang San hurriedly shouted.

"Second Soul Skill, Energy-Gathering Laser!"

Su Sanjia's voice was light and airy. At his fingertip, a glow as blinding as a miniature sun appeared! The temperature of that Laser Beam continuously rose, and even the air rippled under the searing heat.

Su Sanjia's second Soul Ring came from a sixteen-hundred-year Sacred Flame Lion, a light- and fire-element Soul Beast with a bloodline even superior to that of the Twin-Sword Pegasus! Back then, Shrek Academy's vice dean, Zhao Wuji, had gone to great lengths to hunt that sixteen-hundred-year Soul Beast. Sacred Flame Lions possessed powerful bloodlines and were exceedingly rare, but it had also granted Su Sanjia an incredibly powerful Soul Skill.

Energy-Gathering Laser mobilized the Soul Power within his body and released a Laser from his fingertips. It sounded rather ordinary, since Su Sanjia could fire Lasers even before obtaining his second Soul Ring. Yet this Soul Ring had doubled the power of his Laser Beam! It even added the scorching property of fire. At the same time, the words "energy-gathering" were the truly outrageous part! Simply put, the longer the charge-up time and the greater the Soul Power expended, the stronger the Laser's attack became. Su Sanjia had once tried charging it for three minutes, using eighty percent of his Soul Power to unleash his second Soul Skill. Zhao Wuji, who had taken that move head-on, became unusually quiet. Only after a long while did he offer his assessment:

It rivaled the full-force strike of a high-level Soul Ancestor!

And Su Sanjia had possessed only two rings at the time.

Both of Su Sanjia's first two Soul Skills could be called top-tier. Put simply, they were Soul Skills that could still be useful even when he possessed nine rings, especially this second Soul Skill! Just imagine it: when Su Sanjia had only just become a Title Douluo, if he charged for an hour, emptied all the Soul Power in his body, and unleashed his second Soul Skill, its power might rival the full-force strike of a level ninety-seven Title Douluo!

And now, although Su Sanjia had not charged his second Soul Skill, the power of the beam was still not to be underestimated! This attack could already rival the full-force strike of an ordinary Soul Elder.

Light was astonishingly fast. Although Su Sanjia did not truly possess the speed of light yet, according to Flender's assessment, among all the speed-type Martial Souls he knew, none could compare to Su Sanjia's Radiant Light!

The beam shot toward one of Xiao Wu's legs. Feeling that something was terribly wrong, Xiao Wu instantly activated her second Soul Skill.

"Second Soul Skill, Charm!"

Her peach-colored eyes instantly became irresistibly alluring, and even Su Sanjia could not help being dazed. But that daze lasted less than two seconds. The main reason was...

Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast, a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, and a rabbit...

Uh, well, once Su Sanjia thought about how the one trying to charm him was a hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit, his muddled mind calmed down. In a hundred thousand years, Xiao Wu had probably given birth to who knew how many litters of rabbits. Of course, some believed that Soul Beasts who rebuilt themselves as humans were pure, but Su Sanjia was not among them.

Still, that Charm had some effect. Su Sanjia's Laser grazed Xiao Wu's left leg, sending blood spraying out. How could ordinary flesh withstand such a powerful Laser? Xiao Wu gave a muffled groan, the blood especially glaring against her fair skin! Seeing it all, Tang San's mind buzzed. His eyes rapidly turned bloodshot, and in his extreme rage, his right hand swept across his waist.

Whoosh!

A throwing knife shot toward Su Sanjia's glabella at incredible speed. Yet Su Sanjia did not even glance at it as the knife pierced through his head.

This was bad!

After the rage passed, Tang San's heart skipped a beat.

This was Shrek Academy. Su Sanjia was a student here. He had acted too impulsively just now. He had used all his strength in that attack, and Tang San had seen with his own eyes that the throwing knife had pierced Su Sanjia's head.

Tang San's eyes involuntarily turned toward Zhao Wuji, who lay in the distance on a recliner without even opening his eyes. He was a Soul Saint! If he flew into a rage, Xiao Wu and Tang San would surely die here.

But...

Why did Zhao Wuji show no intention of even getting up?

In the moment he was distracted, Dai Mubai sent him flying with one palm strike. Tang San rolled across the ground several times before dispersing the force. A trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth as he forced himself upright.

Dai Mubai approached him with a calm expression.

Even Oscar in the distance looked as though he had seen nothing.

How was that possible?

"A throwing knife? Quite a sharp attack. I almost got taken out there!"

That airy voice rang out again. Tang San's face was filled with shock, and even his voice had changed.

"How is that possible? Weren't you—"

Before he could finish, Tang San saw the hole in Su Sanjia's forehead rapidly close, without a single drop of blood flowing out.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong also halted their attacks. Standing closer, Xiao Wu could clearly see that there was no flesh or tissue at all inside the hole in Su Sanjia's forehead. His entire body seemed to be made of a mass of light!

How was that possible?

Even those mysterious Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, creatures formed from elements, had never possessed such an ability!

"Sorry for making you worry. Actually, watashi am immune to physical attacks..."

Su Sanjia turned around, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

Tang San felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar!
