A Punch Shatters Xu Sanshi's Tortoise Shield

As soon as Teacher Mu Jin finished speaking, senior students volunteered to look for Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei, eager to see the Blue Silver Grass Soul Master lose.

Not knowing the gap in strength yet daring to challenge the Outer Court's strongest student—this was truly an eye-opener.

The students could hardly wait to watch the show.

Before long, the senior students found Xu Sanshi, who had just been rejected while acting like a simp, as well as Bei Bei, who had just escorted Huo Yuhao into the academy.

Xu Sanshi was already in a foul mood. The moment he heard that someone who did not know his own limits had challenged him, he flew into a rage and immediately headed for the East City Gate.

He wanted to see which blind fool had dared to provoke him.

Before setting out, Xu Sanshi did not forget to have one of his lackeys notify Jiang Nannan to come watch his display of violent aesthetics.

At the same time, Bei Bei also set aside what he was doing and headed for the East City Gate.

He was far more composed and felt that this matter was not as simple as it appeared.

Before long, the twin stars of Shrek Outer Court arrived at the registration point by the city gate, where they saw Teacher Mu Jin, Gu Chen, and a huge crowd of spectators.

Xu Sanshi frowned and sneered, "Teacher Mu Jin, you're not joking with me, are you? With this kid's strength, I could probably knock him flat with one punch."

"A Blue Silver Grass Soul Master? Isn't that a trash martial soul?"

Bei Bei reminded him, "Sanshi, this is definitely not that simple. It's been over a hundred years since anyone entered the academy through this process."

Even so, Xu Sanshi snorted disdainfully and cast Gu Chen a contemptuous look.

At that moment, Mu Jin looked at Gu Chen and said seriously, "Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei are among the strongest students in the Outer Court. Are you sure you want to challenge him?"

A mischievous smile curled across Gu Chen's lips. "I'm sure. And I'll start with Xu Sanshi, the one who mocked me. I can knock him down directly and let him learn how powerful a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master can be."

Xu Sanshi threw back his head and laughed. "Let me learn how powerful Blue Silver Grass is? Fine, fine, fine. Then let me see just how strong your Blue Silver Grass is."

After that, everyone retreated fifty meters, leaving the two of them standing in the center of an open fighting area.

Mu Jin watched Gu Chen with a grave expression.

Her intuition told her that this young man was probably no ordinary person. If he really was a genius, then she had struck gold.

But a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master was simply too weak.

Beside her, Bei Bei narrowed his eyes and carefully examined Gu Chen, noticing the sharpness in his gaze.

Could a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master really be that powerful?

"Brother, I hope you really have what it takes. If you actually defeat Xu Sanshi, I'll definitely acknowledge you as my boss."

Xie Huanyue silently prayed for Gu Chen, hoping he would come through unharmed.

At this moment, only the two of them remained in the arena.

Xu Sanshi beckoned at Gu Chen. "Little brother, hurry up and release that laughable Blue Silver Grass martial soul of yours. Once Grandpa Xu Sanshi is done with you, I can get back to chasing my goddess. Otherwise, it wouldn't look good if word got out that I was bullying the weak."

"Besides, I'll let you make the first move."

As he spoke, Xu Sanshi glanced toward the crowd in the distance and discovered that Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya had come to watch as well.

Shouldn't I put on a good show now?

He had to show off fiercely in front of the goddesses.

However, Gu Chen said, "You should make the first move. If I do, you might not get another chance."

Xu Sanshi instantly felt humiliated.

Arrogant!

This trash Blue Silver Grass Soul Master was still putting on airs. He would let this brat find out who was boss.

Without another word, Xu Sanshi shouted, "Martial Soul Possession!" The Black Tortoise appeared behind him, and the Black Tortoise Shell Shield formed in his hand. He charged forward explosively, swinging the shield at Gu Chen, determined to finish the brat in a single blow.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

He was incredibly fast, yet every footstep was heavy.

Gu Chen raised his head. Only when Xu Sanshi was close did he spread open his right hand, revealing Golden-Pattern Blue Silver Grass in his palm as his altered hundred-year first soul ring appeared.

Xu Sanshi, who was still charging forward, immediately laughed.

It really was that trash martial soul, Blue Silver Grass.

Let's see how I crush him!

The next moment, Xu Sanshi charged to within two meters of Gu Chen and decisively activated his first soul skill.

"Black Tortoise Shock!"

Gu Chen sprang into the air almost instantly. His first soul ring lit up as he said coldly, "First Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Body."

What?

Golden Dragon Body?

Xu Sanshi froze for a second. Then he saw Gu Chen descend from above, swinging down a fist glowing with golden light.

"Black Tortoise Defense!"

Xu Sanshi raised the Black Tortoise Shell Shield to block it.

Boom—!

Gu Chen's fist slammed into the Black Tortoise Shell Shield, unleashing a dragon's roar and an explosive crack, accompanied by the ultimate pressure of his martial soul.

Every Beast Martial Soul user present was suppressed so heavily that they could barely breathe.

With another boom, the Black Tortoise Shell Shield in Xu Sanshi's hand shattered like glass, exploding into fragments. Xu Sanshi himself spat out blood and was sent flying backward.

One punch. Just one punch, and the shield of Xu Sanshi, Eternal Defense and the Outer Court's strongest defender, had been shattered.

How was that possible?!

Mu Jin was stunned.

The spectators were stunned as well.

At that moment, Xie Huanyue felt only the urge to call Gu Chen his boss.

They stared blankly at the Blue Silver Grass in Gu Chen's hand, confirming that it truly was a Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

But how could a Blue Silver Grass martial soul possess such terrifying martial soul suppression and explosive power? Xu Sanshi, at the peak of three rings, could not withstand even one punch. Was this even human?

He had to be a ferocious beast in human form!

Xu Sanshi staggered to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly, "What soul tool did you use? But no matter what you used, I'll strip you bare and ruin your reputation."

As he spoke, he charged again. Without his Tortoise Shell Shield, he would use his fists to beat Gu Chen.

Gu Chen only found Xu Sanshi's ignorance amusing, but this was exactly the effect he wanted.

If Xu Sanshi had not said that, beating him up would not have felt nearly as satisfying.

Gu Chen exploded forward from where he stood, swinging his right fist as well, imbued with the power of the Golden Dragon King bloodline, and met Xu Sanshi's fist head-on.

The next moment, their fists collided.

With a boom, Xu Sanshi flew backward like a cannonball, while cracking sounds echoed from his right hand inch by inch.

Gu Chen decisively activated Blue Silver Grass's binding ability, then rushed before Xu Sanshi and kicked him fiercely into the air.

But it was not over yet. Gu Chen followed up with an elbow strike to Xu Sanshi's waist.

"Agh!!"

With a sharp crack, Xu Sanshi's eyes filled with bloodshot veins. He let out a pained groan and collapsed to the ground.

Before Xu Sanshi could speak, Gu Chen stepped on his face and said flatly, "Do you know how powerful a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master is now? Blue Silver Grass has more than just binding. It also has ultimate strength and ultimate stats. Even without using soul power, I can still crush you."

"So what if you have three rings? So what if you possess the Black Tortoise martial soul, the strongest defensive martial soul? Can you move even an inch before my Blue Silver Grass?"

"Xu Sanshi, considering how you looked down on me just now, this is only a small lesson. From now on, whenever you see me, Gu Chen, at Shrek Academy, lower your head and behave yourself!!"

Xu Sanshi bared his teeth in pain, but what he felt even more was rage—absolute rage.

He had actually been humiliated by a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master!

His overwhelming fury clouded his mind and gave rise to the urge to kill Gu Chen.

Xu Sanshi's body trembled as his bloodline boiled.

Gu Chen looked down at him. "A bloodline awakening? Now that's interesting. Let me see just how strong the Black Tortoise is."
