Outside the Sky Screen, Huo Wu and Ning Rongrong were dumbfounded as they watched this scene.
"Wait, Ring Fusion techniques are so common ten thousand years later? How does everyone know how to use them?"
That was right. Whether it was Wang Dong or Xiao Xiao, both of them were using Ring Fusion techniques.
Seeing this, Xuan Zi, seated among the spectators, could no longer hide the delight in his eyes.
"Not bad, not bad. Ring Fusion—this student is interesting."
Then, Xuan Zi turned his gaze toward Wang Dong and Ye Chen.
"Martial Soul Fusion? And Ring Fusion techniques as well. Looks like this batch has produced a few good seedlings."
At that moment, Xuan Zi was considering whether to let them join the Shrek Inspection Corps early.
With proper tempering, they would surely become the pillars of Shrek Academy in the future.
On the competition stage,
Xiao Xiao's three Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons completely merged into one, forming a massive ancient cauldron several times larger than a single one.
The gigantic cauldron was even larger than Xie Huanyue's expanded body.
The ancient cauldron shot into the air and steadily caught Xie Huanyue as he fell from above.
Then, with a flip, the cauldron landed back on the ground and securely trapped Xie Huanyue inside.
A thunderous boom erupted as circles of thick, ink-black halos frantically spread outward from the giant cauldron.
The cauldron vibrated at high speed and frequency. An invisible force of vibration spread across a range of more than ten meters, suppressing Soul Power and stunning the spirit of anyone it touched.
Xie Huanyue's two companions were frozen in place by the booming sound.
After doing all this, Xiao Xiao had severely overdrawn her Soul Power. Her face rapidly turned pale, and the Soul Power within her body drained away at a tremendous speed.
"That's enough, Xiao Xiao. Fall back first," Ye Chen reminded her.
Thanks to the time Xiao Xiao had bought them, Wang Dong's soul skill had finished charging as well.
A golden pillar of light rose from her body, transforming into a terrifying, enormous crescent-shaped blade of light.
At the same time, Xiao Xiao recalled her Martial Soul and voluntarily jumped down from the competition stage.
When Xie Huanyue emerged from the ancient cauldron, his expression was undoubtedly one of fury!
"You've completely pissed me off! The consequences will be severe!"
But when he saw that enormous blade of light, his furious expression turned to terror once more.
"What? What is that now?"
Although he was confident in his own defense, there was no way he could block this move!
The proctor hesitated no longer. He quickly stepped forward and pulled Xie Huanyue and the other two away.
Only when the proctor truly faced the blade of light did he realize how terrifying it was.
Even with the cultivation of a Soul Emperor, he felt as though he were about to suffocate.
"What trash," Xuan Zi muttered from the spectator stands.
He casually raised a hand and directly absorbed the blade of light.
After that, he left the place with a chicken leg in one hand and wine in the other.
[Xu Xiaoyan: Where's the theory master? Didn't you say they couldn't break the defense of that Rubber Elephant Martial Soul? Then why did that Soul Emperor not even dare to take it head-on?] [Ning Rongrong: Exactly! Without the theory master, who's going to entertain us?] [Hahaha] [Yu Xiaogang: I****] [Sky Screen: Yu Xiaogang has been muted for 10 minutes] [Xu Xiaoyan: Huh? How did someone get muted again?] [Ning Rongrong: Who knows? He couldn't argue back and got worked up, I guess. If you ask me, this theory master should get a good shock.]
Ever since the Sky Screen's chat box had appeared, the little devil of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect seemed to have returned.
Meanwhile, within the Sky Screen, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu watched the entire match from the other side of the stands.
"Huabin, the power of their final move is almost on par with our Hell White Tiger," Zhu Lu said worriedly beside him.
"It's fine. I have my own way to deal with it. This Ye Chen is only a control-type Soul Master. Their main source of damage is still that Wang Dong."
Unlike Zhu Lu's concern, Dai Huabin appeared extremely confident.
Just as Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were preparing to leave, they happened to run into Ye Chen and the others, who had just finished their match.
The moment Dai Huabin saw Ye Chen, he looked at him as though he were an enemy, and his gaze instantly turned vicious.
Ever since he had entered Shrek Academy, he had believed that he would be the top freshman of this class.
Yet he had unexpectedly run into a freak like Ye Chen.
This infuriated him greatly!
He would use his own strength to prove that he was the number one freshman!
"Ye Chen, just wait. This championship will definitely be mine!" Dai Huabin roared.
Ye Chen: "???"
This should have been his first time meeting Dai Huabin, right? Where had all this anger come from?
"You're Dai Huabin?" A teasing smile appeared on Ye Chen's face.
"How about this? Let's make a bet."
"What bet?"
"Whoever loses withdraws from Shrek Academy. How about it?"
To make Dai Huabin agree, Ye Chen even deliberately provoked him.
"The son of the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire wouldn't be too scared to accept, would he?"
Outside the Sky Screen, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire was stunned when he heard this, utterly confused.
"The White Tiger Duke? Surnamed Dai? What's going on?"
Within the Sky Screen,
Dai Huabin was still Dai Huabin. Anger swiftly seized the high ground of his intelligence.
"You! Who's scared? Fine, let's bet! Whoever loses withdraws from Shrek Academy!" Dai Huabin shouted angrily.
Ye Chen had not expected Dai Huabin to agree so easily. "Fine."
With that, he left with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.
Ye Chen did not take someone like Dai Huabin seriously at all. After all, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion still possessed the bloodline of the Golden Dragon!
Not to mention a mere White Tiger Martial Soul—even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was nothing in Ye Chen's eyes.
After returning to the dormitory, Bibi Dong, who was in the Sea of Spirit, asked,
"That Dai Huabin should have a White Tiger Martial Soul, right? Is the Star Luo Empire still controlled by the Dai Family?"
She remembered Ye Chen mentioning that Dai Huabin was the son of the White Tiger Duke. The White Tiger Duke? Could it be that the Dai Family was no longer the emperor of Star Luo?
"Yes. Dai Huabin's White Tiger Martial Soul was passed down from Dai Mubai ten thousand years ago," Ye Chen explained.
"As for the White Tiger Duke, that's naturally because ever since the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent connected, the Star Luo Empire had suffered defeat after defeat under the Dai Family's leadership. If the Xu Family of Starcrown had not stepped forward in the end, the Star Luo Empire would likely have been destroyed long ago."
"The Dai emperor reigning at the time saw reality clearly. The Dai Family no longer had the strength to rule the fractured empire. Clinging to the throne would only spark internal conflict and lead to total ruin."
"In the end, they voluntarily abdicated and ceded the Star Luo imperial throne to the Xu Family of the Starcrown Sect. In exchange, the court granted the Dai Family the hereditary title of White Tiger Duke, allowing them to retain their family fief, private army, and military authority at the border."
Outside the Sky Screen, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire immediately flew into a rage upon hearing this.
"My throne! The Dai Family's throne was actually taken by the Xu Family! This is outrageous!"
At the same time, Bibi Dong still had another question in her heart.
"Since Tang San became a god, did everyone around him become gods as well?"
Yu Xiaogang, who had originally been muted and feeling deeply dejected, immediately became excited upon hearing this. He said with great confidence,
"San respects me like a father. With San around, I'll definitely become a god!"
