"Second Soul Skill, Poisonous Thorn Strangulation!"

Tang San saw that black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, but he still chose to continue attacking.

Back then, Zhao Wuji had three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings and was still no match for him.

Su Chen had only one Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Tang San believed in the power of his full-strength burst.

Tang San's second Soul Skill was no longer the original Parasitism. That 600-year-old Ghost Vine had long been destroyed by Su Chen when he tested his first Soul Skill.

Tang San's second Soul Ring came from a 500-year-old Ghost Spider.

Because Yu Xiaogang had offended Gao Lu with his words, Gao Lu could not be bothered with the master and disciple when Tang San was hunting for his second Soul Ring.

Yu Xiaogang could only spend money to hire a mercenary group. After untold hardship, they killed a 500-year-old Ghost Spider and obtained the Soul Skill Poisonous Thorn Strangulation.

Strands of dark Blue Silver Grass, covered in dense inch-long barbs, continued winding toward Su Chen.

But it was useless!

The moment the poisonous, barbed Blue Silver Grass touched Su Chen, it was burned into ash by the Golden Crow True Flame.

"Is that all?"

Su Chen smiled faintly. With a flash, he moved so fast that even Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes could not see him clearly. Tang San tried to use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to escape, but in Su Chen's eyes, his speed was no different from a crawling turtle.

He threw a punch!

The air itself erupted with a sonic boom.

Tang San tried to defuse it with Mysterious Jade Hand and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, but it was completely useless.

The gap in strength between them was not something any skill could make up for.

With a bang, Tang San's arms went numb from the impact. His body flew like a kite with a severed string and smashed into the distant stairs, shattering the wooden steps into pieces.

With just one blow, Tang San was sent flying.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others' expressions darkened. A bad feeling rose in their hearts as they realized they had kicked an iron plate.

They had always excelled at bullying the weak with the strong and the few with the many, usually picking on students from Soul Master Academies.

Just like those street thugs who threw their weight around.

Come to think of it, Shrek Academy's teachers had originally been nothing more than a gang of big-time hooligans.

They had drifted around the Soul Master world in their youth, then grew old and decided to establish an academy for retirement, conveniently misleading students in the process.

Without official registration from either of the two great empires or Spirit Hall, it was nothing more than a sham academy.

They had ruined batch after batch of students who could have become elites at Spirit Hall Academy, sending them to their deaths in the Soul Beast Forest.

Dai Mubai instantly completed Martial Soul Possession.

"White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

"This opponent is tough. Everyone, attack together! Tang San is our brother. We can't just stand by and watch him get bullied."

Ma Hongjun also completed Martial Soul Possession, but he was heavily suppressed by the aura of the Great Sun Golden Crow. The evil fire that normally blazed fiercely around him had been reduced to a mere flicker.

With a miserable expression, he said, "Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, what are you waiting for? Attack together!"

"Phoenix Reborn in Flames!"

"Phoenix Fireline!"

Ning Rongrong crossed her arms and watched coldly.

"This is trouble you caused yourselves. Why should we help you? If you are wrong, admit it. If you get beaten, stand straight and take it. You insulted him, so it is only right that you receive a beating."

"Zhuqing, don't help them either. You did not say anything bad just now, so there is no need for you to go up there and get beaten with them."

Zhu Zhuqing did not answer. She stared at Su Chen, utterly stunned.

With the Great Sun Golden Crow Martial Soul's Possession, Su Chen's handsome face appeared wild and domineering.

The yellow, purple, purple, and black Soul Rings pulsing above and below him made him look like a god of war.

Compared to him, people like Dai Mubai and Tang San were not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

Elsewhere!

Seeing Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun attack, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling could no longer sit still.

Qin Ming stopped them. "Su Chen does not need your help. He can handle them alone. This is a good chance to see where the limit of his strength lies."

"You will be teammates in the future. You need to understand each other's strength in order to coordinate better in battle."

Dugu Yan thought about it and found it reasonable. With this bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates, trying to hurt Su Chen was simply wishful thinking.

Then she twisted her waist and looked Xiao Wu up and down, the girl who had caused this conflict. Her scorpion braid hung to her calves, her cheeks were rosy and adorable, and her delicate features radiated youthful vitality.

She was simply a beauty in the making!

Dugu Yan's eyes narrowed into a dangerous curve.

"Hello. Let me introduce myself. My name is Dugu Yan, and I am Xiao Chen's girlfriend."

Ye Lingling wore a veil that revealed only her blue eyes. She too stared intently at Xiao Wu.

"My name is Ye Lingling. I am also Xiao Chen's girlfriend."

Xiao Wu wrinkled her delicate nose. They had only been apart for a few years, yet Su Chen already had girlfriends—and more than one at that. It left a sour feeling in her heart.

She cursed inwardly. What a naturally fickle human brat. But I am not some delicate little girl. I am a hundred-thousand-year Soft Boned Enchanting Rabbit in human form. I have plenty of strength and methods.

She puffed out her barely budding chest, placed her hands on her hips, and projected an imposing air, as though she were the principal wife while Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were merely concubines.

"My name is Xiao Wu. I am Xiao Chen's girlfriend and childhood sweetheart. If he had not been taken away for cultivation, we would never have been separated until now."

At the same time!

Su Chen displayed terrifying strength and speed. His body flickered, and he appeared beside Ma Hongjun. Borrowing the momentum of his speed, he delivered a flying kick, sending the fat man crashing into the wall like a ball and smashing straight through it.

With another flash, he went after Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai spat out a White Tiger Fierce Light Wave.

In an instant, Su Chen vanished from Dai Mubai's sight.

Dai Mubai's pupils shrank to pinpoints. This terrifying speed was faster than that of any agility-type Soul Master he had ever seen.

The next instant, Su Chen flashed to Dai Mubai's side and threw a punch. The White Tiger Protective Barrier shattered with a crack, and the White Tiger Vajra Transformation was broken as well.

His fist landed on Dai Mubai's face, and Dai Mubai spat his teeth, mixed with blood, into the air.

His body spun more than a dozen times in midair before finally smashing through a table.

Dai Mubai's face was crooked, his eyes slanted, and the pain left him unable to stand. Shock beyond measure filled his heart, followed by fear from the depths of his soul.

He had not even used a Soul Skill, yet his strength was greater than that of a power-attack Soul Master.

Dai Mubai could not believe it. How could there be a Soul Master who possessed both the power of a power-attack Soul Master and the speed of an agility-type Soul Master?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A great many projectiles cut through the air. Bone-Piercing Nails, Locust Stones, Willow Leaf Darts, and countless other hidden weapons, mixed with threads of golden light as fine as ox hair, shot toward Su Chen from every direction.

"Tang San, ever since six years ago, all you have known are these underhanded tricks!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Su Chen formed a firm barrier of crimson-gold flames within thirty feet around him, burning every hidden weapon into molten iron.

The Dragon Beard Needles were no exception!

Su Chen spread his wings and shot forward as a streak of light.

"Die!"

Tang San let out a beast-like roar, summoned the Clear Sky Hammer, and swung it down at Su Chen.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes. Beneath his clothes, the roughly three thousand feather patterns on the Golden Crow tattoo covering his back seemed to ignite, providing him with an endless stream of power.

With one punch, Tang San vomited blood and crashed into the wall. Every bone in his right arm was shattered from the backlash.

The Clear Sky Hammer was indeed hard, but Tang San's body was nowhere near as tough.

In the blink of an eye, Su Chen displayed terrifying battlefield dominance. Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San were all severely injured.
