However, in the next second, violent power erupted from the cross-dressed Gu Chen. The aura of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul rushed forth, and soul rings in the optimal configuration rose beneath his feet.

Gu Chen gripped the Golden Dragon Spear and shot forward like lightning, arriving before Xu Sanshi in the blink of an eye before sweeping his spear horizontally.

Xu Sanshi's expression changed drastically.

Why did this aura feel so much like Gu Chen's? The pressure was terrifying.

Facing the sweeping dragon spear, Xu Sanshi decisively raised the Black Tortoise Shell Shield to block it.

Boom—!

It was as though Xu Sanshi had been struck by a massive hammer. He flew backward, spitting blood, while countless cracks spread across the Black Tortoise Shell Shield.

Gu Chen, meanwhile, merely stood with the dragon spear in hand and his back to Xu Sanshi, his peerless bearing too dazzling to look at directly.

At that moment.

Xu Sanshi was utterly horrified.

Why was this power so similar to that brat Gu Chen's? Such extreme explosive force and destructive power—this was simply inhuman.

Xu Sanshi immediately raised his head and shouted, "What is your relationship with Gu Chen?"

He had no thoughts whatsoever about the Golden Dragon Princess before him now. The pain wracking his body was unbearable, and he had already entered sage mode.

Gu Chen curled his lips into a smile. "What Gu Chen? I don't know any Gu Chen."

Gritting his teeth, Xu Sanshi roared, "You're lying! If you don't know Gu Chen, I'll eat shit! You must be related to him! Otherwise, where did you get such pure power? You definitely have something to do with Gu Chen!"

"You sure talk a lot!" Gu Chen gripped the Golden Dragon Spear, spun around, and charged forward. The spearhead pointed straight at Xu Sanshi's throat.

Xu Sanshi's third soul ring lit up as he shouted, "Xuanming Power!"

In an instant, the surrounding water elements gathered, increasing the Black Tortoise Shell Shield's defense and doubling his strength.

Yet that was still not enough. Xu Sanshi unleashed the Xuanming Shield Formation once more to defend himself.

Before Gu Chen even reached Xu Sanshi, a large number of shields converged around him, protecting Xu Sanshi completely.

"Tricks like this!"

Gu Chen's gaze turned cold. He activated the Golden Dragon King's bloodline power and unleashed the first soul skill of the Golden Dragon Body, doubling all his physical enhancements as well.

This time, he thrust directly at Xu Sanshi's turtle shield. The Golden Dragon Spear let out a resonant dragon's roar.

Boom!

That overwhelming force destroyed the Xuanming Shield Formation and shattered Xu Sanshi's turtle shield as well.

The Black Tortoise Shell Shield shattered for the second time—history repeated itself.

The last time it was shattered by Gu Chen, and this time it was shattered by the mysterious senior student Lan from the Outer Court; Xu Sanshi's title of Eternal Defense seemed to have become a joke.

At this moment, Xu Sanshi spat blood and collapsed onto the ground.

He was not dead, but he was seriously injured.

He had been farmed like an NPC again and again!

Gu Chen turned around and smiled gently at Xu Sanshi. "I forgot to tell you, this young lady has a bad temper. When dealing with playboys like you, I usually find it best to stab them to death. But I'm in a good mood today, so we'll meet again next time."

"If you want to challenge me, remember to train a little more. Your Black Tortoise Martial Soul isn't all that impressive!"

With that, the cross-dressed Gu Chen vanished from the Soul Fighting Arena, leaving the severely injured Xu Sanshi lying in the arena.

"You..."

Xu Sanshi's face flushed red with fury, and he promptly fainted.

Bei Bei, who had been watching, instantly panicked and shouted, "Quick, go get Elder Zhuang!!"

Tang Ya cursed from the side, "Serves him right. That lecher got what was coming to him. He sees a pretty senior and immediately wants to chase her—now he's been beaten until he's coughing up blood."

Jiang Nannan also revealed a trace of disgust, believing Xu Sanshi had gotten exactly what he deserved.

That hateful, fickle womanizer had finally shown his true colors.

She hated Xu Sanshi even more now.

Immediately afterward, thunderous applause erupted from the spectator stands. Those who had bet on the Golden Dragon Princess made an absolute killing, becoming rich overnight.

Those were odds of 3.5 to 1—they had made a fortune!

In the viewing area, Ning Tian and the others nearly rose to their feet in celebration, their breathing growing hurried.

They had struck it rich!

They had netted more than ten million gold soul coins from this round alone. It was simply unimaginable.

This mysterious senior from the Outer Court, the Golden Dragon Princess Lan, was simply too powerful.

Not only did she possess Gu Chen's explosive strength, but she also wielded a golden Golden Dragon Spear. Her combat power was terrifying beyond anything they had ever seen.

More importantly, that senior was truly too beautiful!

A few minutes later, Xu Sanshi was carried away on a stretcher, but the atmosphere remained as feverish as ever. Quite a few people had already begun secretly investigating the identity of that mysterious Outer Court senior.

This mysterious senior possessed not only peerless beauty but also domineering strength. She had already become an idol in the hearts of many male and female students.

Yet this mysterious senior appeared only once and was never seen again.

Even veteran students in the academy who investigated the matter came up empty-handed in the end. The only answer they found was a blank slate.

Not long afterward, Gu Chen returned to his original form and sat back down beside Ning Tian and Xie Huanyue.

Ning Tian and the others immediately crowded around him, their eyes fixed firmly on Gu Chen.

That had been such a spectacular match. Where had this guy gone?

"Big Brother, Big Brother, let me tell you—just now, a mysterious Outer Court senior appeared in the Soul Fighting Arena. Her name was just Blue, and she called herself the Golden Dragon Princess. She held a Golden Dragon Spear and beat Xu Sanshi until he howled. It was so satisfying! She had half your style!"

Xie Huanyue leaned in and vividly described the mysterious senior's strength and breathtaking beauty.

Ning Tian chimed in, "That mysterious senior's Martial Soul seems to share the same origin as yours. It was the legendary, rare Golden Dragon Martial Soul. Could she be your older sister?"

"I think she probably is his sister. Their mannerisms are thirty percent alike," Wu Feng said.

Listening to their descriptions, Gu Chen barely managed to keep from laughing out loud. He then said, "How could she be my sister? Although my sister's Martial Soul is similar to mine, she wouldn't have come here with me."

"I think she's most likely a student the academy has been secretly cultivating, someone who simply doesn't want to appear in the public eye. She probably just couldn't stand Xu Sanshi's behavior and came out to teach that lustful bootlicker a lesson."

Ning Tian and the others found that reasonable as well. Xu Sanshi had it coming!

There was a blade hanging over the word lust. Now he was paying the price.

But they caught a second piece of information: Gu Chen really did have an older sister, and she also possessed a Golden Dragon Martial Soul. It was simply unbelievable.

Ning Tian asked, "Your sister has a Golden Dragon Martial Soul too?"

"Yes."

Gu Chen nodded in admission and did not avoid the subject. He continued, "She's somewhat stronger than I am. She usually cultivates within the family, but you may meet her in the future."

Stronger than Gu Chen?

And she was cultivating within the family?

Gu Chen actually had such a formidable older sister. Wouldn't that make her even more absurdly overpowered than him?

This entire family was full of freaks who broke the rules.

At that moment, seeing that it was about time, Gu Chen stood and said, "I came to the Soul Fighting Arena to fight today. Remember to place your bets. It's my turn to go on now."

"Big Brother, I'm going all in on you," Xie Huanyue said.

Gu Chen smiled faintly, left his seat, registered for another Soul Fighting qualification, and headed to the arena to train.

As for the Golden Dragon Princess's identity, he would let outsiders keep guessing.

Over the next two hours, Gu Chen descended upon the Soul Fighting Arena like a god. Against upperclassmen, he repeatedly delivered dazzling performances and nearly crushed an entire generation.

Below the five-ring level, he traded one for one; at four rings, he could beat anyone he wanted. He beat the Outer Court upperclassmen until they howled.

His left fist hit hard, and his right fist hit just as hard. Everyone who faced him was afraid.

In truth, Gu Chen's limit was far beyond this, because even he did not know where his limits lay.

To this day, he had never used the super divine weapon, the Heaven-Sacred Abyss-Splitting Halberd. For the time being, no one could force him to wield that super divine weapon.

If the Silver Dragon King's power could not solve a problem, then he would raise the Golden Dragon King's fist and teach the upperclassmen a lesson. He stood alone against all comers, casting a shadow over the Outer Court students and drawing the attention of Inner Court students as well.

After several Soul Fighting matches, Gu Chen's odds were lowered. Because his win rate was too high, Shrek Academy's Soul Fighting Arena lost quite a bit of money, while Ning Tian and the others made a fortune.
