The Power of a God King's Daughter, a Debate on Glory, and an Opening Match Lasting Less Than Thirty Seconds
"Jiang, where have you been? Do you know how much I felt when you weren't here..."
Wang Yan trembled with excitement, his eyes shining as he looked at Jiang Yu. He looked exactly like a lovestruck person seeing their sweetheart, which made Jiang Yu a little nauseous.
Teacher Wang, you're probably not from Nantong...
"Teacher Wang, don't get so agitated. I had something urgent to take care of. Although I got back a little late, it doesn't matter, does it?"
Jiang Yu had thought it through clearly: if he couldn't come back, he could just let Huo Yuhao, who was still recovering from his injuries, go up and put on a show.
With his and Wang Dong's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, defeating the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy in an instant wouldn't be a problem.
As for whether forcibly using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill while his internal injuries are not yet healed would cause Huo Yuhao to suffer further damage, Jiang Yu said that this has nothing to do with him.
Before Wang Yan could say anything, Wang Dong coldly interjected:
"Knowing there's an opening match today, couldn't you have postponed your own affairs? If the academy's eternal glory is jeopardized, can you bear the responsibility?"
Snap--
As soon as he finished speaking, a sense of crisis suddenly arose in Wang Dong's heart, but before he could react, a tremendous force had already struck his cheek.
Immediately, he was sent flying like a cannonball.
"It's none of your business how to do things, you little thief. If I ever hear you spout another word like that again, I won't hesitate to give you an even more unforgettable experience."
Jiang Yu didn't hold back with this slap; Wang Dong, sent flying, crashed into the hard wall, creating spiderweb-like cracks.
But at this moment, Wang Dong revealed her special and powerful nature as the daughter of a god-king. An ordinary Soul Elder would have been covered with a blanket and fell fast asleep immediately after being hit like this, but after landing, Wang Dong was still able to barely lift her head and give Jiang Yu a venomous look.
The difference is obvious.
Everything happened so fast that by the time Wang Yan came to his senses, Wang Dong had already fallen asleep the moment he lay down, displaying the youthful ability to do so.
Chaos erupted in the rest area. Huo Yuhao, regaining his senses, rushed forward anxiously to check on Wang Dong's condition. Wang Yan's expression also looked grim.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were students he personally taught at the Outer Court. Their relationship was far beyond that of ordinary teachers and students. Jiang Yu's slap was not only a blow to Wang Dong, but also to his and the academy's reputation.
But just as he was about to say something, Jiang Yu spoke again.
"Teacher Wang, if you feel there's a problem, you can report it to the Sea God Pavilion anytime, anywhere. Anyway, I don't care about one more disciplinary action. But to be frank, it would be best if you could take my place among the Shrek Seven Monsters as well. Then I can sit in the audience and watch the game openly and honestly, and I won't have to worry about these trivial matters."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan was startled, but his expression quickly softened.
Jiang Yu is undoubtedly Shrek's number one fighter in this competition. If he leaves, the Shrek Seven Devils' fighting strength will be halved instantly, which would be considered a good situation.
"Jiang, this kind of joke isn't funny at all. The Shrek Seven Devils represent the ultimate glory that countless people pursue. How could you..."
"What's this about 'can't' or 'can't'? Teacher Wang, remember this: for me, having the title of Shrek Seven Devils isn't an honor. On the contrary, I'm willing to be one of the Shrek Seven Devils because it's an honor to have that title. Do you understand what I mean?"
Jiang Yu around and smiled indifferently, his expression not at all like he was lying, but rather that he genuinely didn't care.
Wang Yan stood frozen in place, his eyes vacant, his mind filled with the echo of Jiang Yu's words.
Is his willingness to become Shrek Seven Devils Shrek Seven Monsters honor for the title?
What an arrogant statement! This statement completely shattered Wang Yan's preconceived notions.
In his mind, Shrek Academy was supreme, and the title of Shrek Seven Devils and the academy's millennia-long glory were above everything else.
But now, someone has degraded everything he held dear to the ground, and he should be angry, should refute, should condemn, but he can't say anything.
Because everything he cares about still needs the other person's strength to protect it.
That's the most ridiculous part.
By the time Wang Yan came to his senses, Jiang Yu had already disappeared again.
With a flash of silver light, Jiang Yu appeared on the competition stage.
The atmosphere reached a fever pitch the moment he appeared.
"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!"
The cheers were deafening, almost reaching the sky, and were not diminished at all because only Jiang Yu from Shrek was on the field.
Beneath the foundation of millennia of glory, the entire continent, from commoners to Soul Master, holds an unimaginable fervor and reverence for the Shrek Academy.
Other colleges only fielded one player in the single-elimination tournament.
A commoner from mainland China and Soul Master: Are you kidding me?
Shrek Academy only fielded one player in the single-elimination tournament.
Commoners and Soul Master from Mainland China: Shrek's move must have a deeper meaning.
Yes, that's exactly the kind of double standard they are.
Unlike the overwhelming enthusiasm of ordinary viewers, the teams with sufficient strength had a completely different mindset.
They didn't think Shrek Academy's move was arrogant, because Jiang Yu's ability to enter out of thin air was already astonishing enough.
At this very moment, the seven youths from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy opposite Jiang Yu had already turned pale with fear and immense pressure, and some of the more timid ones were even trembling.
Jiang Yu glanced at them without saying a word, but simply raised his hand slightly, and a dazzling silver light suddenly shone in his palm.
Space-Time Solidification!
After his Spiritual Power reached a certain level, Jiang Yu comprehended this skill based on his profound understanding of space and his mastery of time.
Its effect is simple: it completely freezes spacetime within a certain area. Unless the opponent's Soul Power or Spiritual Power surpasses Jiang Yu's, this attack is almost unsolvable for low- to mid-level Soul Master.
As expected, upon seeing that flash of silver light, the seven members of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy were horrified to find that no matter how hard they struggled, they could not move an inch.
Before them, a silver blade of light, more than ten meters long, shot towards them.
The next instant, a huge explosion resounded throughout the entire venue.
After the dust settled, the seven members of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy lay scattered on the ground. Although their injuries were not serious, they had lost consciousness and were clearly incapacitated.
In mid-air, the Referee stared in disbelief at everything below.
From the moment he announced the start of the match until now, it seems like less than thirty seconds have passed, right?
But how could the game be over already?
The Referee stood there stunned until Jiang Yu reminded him, at which point he snapped out of his daze and announced the result of the match.
"Shrek Academy wins the first match of the first round of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament!"
As soon as the Referee finished speaking, Star Luo Plaza, which had just fallen silent, suddenly exploded again like a powder keg that had been lit, and the emotions of all the spectators were pushed to a climax.
"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!"
Long live Shrek!
Under the watchful eyes of many, Jiang Yu's gaze swept across several areas, then with a flash of silver light, he vanished from the competition stage.
