Monster Tablet!

"Welcome to Shrek Academy! With its long history, Shrek is the continent's number one academy!...!"

A man in black floated in the air, layers of metallic armor covering his entire body.

The young men and women who witnessed this were instantly filled with shock and envy.

"Battle Armor!"

"That's Two-Word Battle Armor! So cool!"

They erupted into discussion.

Amid the crowd, Yuanen Yehui felt a chill run down her back. A gaze had been fixed on her the entire time.

She turned around and saw the masked man who had stopped her earlier.

Strange! Could he be a teacher from Shrek Academy?

With that thought, she turned back and did not look at Old Dou again.

So what if he was a teacher? She did not care!

"Alright, head this way next. There are ten trials in total. Whether you pass depends on your strength!"

The man in black pointed toward an entrance behind him.

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving this group of freshmen behind.

At this moment, Old Dou was hidden in the shadows. The Shadow that had been lurking in the darkness earlier had already vanished and reappeared elsewhere.

However, an elderly woman suddenly appeared beside Old Dou.

He said, "Why are you here?"

He had thought it would be Yun Ming.

"Why can't it be me?" Cai Yue'er shot Old Dou a glare, her eyes turning toward a patch of darkness.

She had clearly already discovered that Shadow.

"Oh, a Super Douluo, too!"

"Daring to cause trouble at Shrek? You must be tired of living!"

Hearing Cai Yue'er's muttering, Old Dou asked, "When do we strike?"

"Now!" Cai Yue'er shouted. She did not think much of a mere Super Douluo.

In an instant, a silver moon appeared in her hand, and an overwhelming pressure descended.

The entire hall was sealed by a sharp aura, while Shadow, locked onto by that aura, instantly sensed the breath of death.

The freshmen immediately felt an irresistible Soul Power pressure that left them struggling to breathe.

Yuanen Yehui was no exception. She looked up and saw Cai Yue'er's fierce strike.

When she turned back, she saw that the masked man from earlier had disappeared.

Could that man have done something?

Shadow moved slowly. Faced with this attack, he sensed death.

"How is this possible? How did they discover me?!"

However, he did not choose to flee from this attack.

A ball of purple energy appeared in his hand, rapidly expanding in an instant.

By then, Cai Yue'er's attack had already reached Shadow.

Old Dou could not help frowning at the sight.

Those involved could not see clearly, but bystanders could.

In his eyes, Shadow still intended to attack the freshmen in the hall first.

With an attack from a Super Douluo—

Once that purple energy ball fell, every freshman in this hall would be reduced to dry bones.

"Why does that energy ball look so familiar?"

Cai Yue'er's attack had arrived, but Shadow was still charging power. He seemed to intend to destroy the entire building outright.

"He isn't defending?" Old Dou wondered.

If Cai Yue'er's attack landed, Shadow would be dead or crippled, and the attack would be neutralized.

Mingzhi's choice was to throw it out before Cai Yue'er's attack arrived.

A classic maneuver of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao.

That way, Cai Yue'er would definitely abandon her attack because of the energy ball and save the freshmen first, giving him a chance to escape.

Old Dou could not quite understand it.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred.

Cai Yue'er's attack passed straight through Shadow without causing him the slightest harm.

That Shadow Ball was still charging.

Old Dou's pupils suddenly contracted. Looking at the purple energy ball, was that not the Ghost Type move, Shadow Ball?

"Wait! Then doesn't that mean—" Old Dou watched Cai Yue'er's attack pass through Shadow.

"Well, damn. Ghost Type immunity!"

Now that he looked at Shadow again, he was one hundred percent certain that the fifth Slate was the Ghost Type Monster Tablet.

"Is he borrowing the Slate's power?"

Old Dou did not think further. At this moment, the Shadow Ball was nearly finished charging.

His figure flashed, and he vanished from where he stood. In the next instant, he appeared before Shadow.

Deep crimson covered his hand as he unleashed Sonic Punch.

However, a man within Shadow curled his lips and said, "You overestimate yourself!"

"Those attacks have no effect on me!"

Shadow's Martial Soul was a ghost. His innate Soul Power had only been level five. If he had cultivated normally, reaching Soul Sage or Soul Douluo would not have been a problem.

The reason he possessed his current strength was because he had previously found a Slate and discovered that the energy within it was extremely compatible with his Martial Soul.

After absorbing the energy leaking from the Slate, his Martial Soul underwent an earth-shattering transformation.

Although his appearance had not changed much, his essence had been replaced by the power emanating from the Slate.

That was also why he had become a Super Douluo.

Moreover, that power allowed him to ignore ordinary Soul Power attacks and blood-energy attacks.

His plan today had been to slaughter Shrek's freshmen first, then escape while they still did not understand his traits.

However, Cai Yue'er's arrival had disrupted his plan. Fortunately, her attack had been an ordinary Soul Power attack. She had not unleashed her Soul Rings or struck with her full strength.

Cai Yue'er had still been too careless.

At this moment, Shadow looked at Old Dou, who had appeared before him, and smiled disdainfully.

Close-range blood-energy attacks could not hit him.

Stopping him was impossible.

Once he threw out this Shadow Ball, he would flee far away.

He looked at the terrified freshmen in the hall and smiled cruelly.

However, a fist shattered his fantasy.

Old Dou's fist struck Shadow directly. In an instant, Shadow was sent flying into the wall beside him, embedding himself deeply within it.

Old Dou withdrew his fist, a flash of white gleaming in his eyes.

Normal Move: Foresight

Power: 0

Description: After use, it can hit Ghost Pokémon and opponents with high evasion that would otherwise be unaffected.

Old Dou had borrowed a trace of Arceus's true power from afar and used Foresight.

Shadow was sent flying, and the Shadow Ball fell along with him.

It smashed toward the freshmen in the hall.

At that moment, several more figures appeared. Their auras surged, and without exception, they were all Super Douluo-level powerhouses.

Red Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi and Blazing Dragon Douluo Feng Wuyu.

However, they had no time to help against the Shadow Ball.

"You need to use elemental attacks to hit him!"

Old Dou shouted to Cai Yue'er as he rushed toward the Shadow Ball.

On the ground, Yuanen Yehui watched the battle in the sky, her heart pounding without pause.

When she saw that Shrek's teachers had not stopped Shadow, she had thought she was finished.

Then she saw the masked man from earlier make his move, and her heart jolted in shock.

Now, she saw the Shadow Ball descending—and its point of impact was centered directly on her.

She wanted to run, but her legs had gone weak. She had clearly been frightened stiff.

The others were much the same. None of them could escape the Shadow Ball's range.

Despair flooded her heart.

"We're finished!"
