Upon hearing the command, the Twin Rams Soul Masters and the Twin Monkeys Soul Masters immediately changed direction.

The four people on the table exchanged glances, almost simultaneously locking onto the same target.

Xiao Wu just dodged the charge of the Kuang Xi using Instant Teleportation.

They were standing at the back of the Soul Arena Platform, closest to them, and most vulnerable to being surrounded.

The Twin Monkeys Soul Masters flanked from both sides, their arms long, slender, and agile, moving with incredible speed.

The Twin Rams Soul Masters charged forward from the front.

Four figures pressed towards Xiao Wu from four directions, blocking all her possible escape routes.

Xiao Wu's lips curved into a smile.

Her Third Soul Ring lit up, and her figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

The four-person encirclement failed.

Xiao Wu appeared a few feet away.

Upon witnessing that scene, the Spider Woman gritted her teeth and screamed.

"It's Instant Teleportation again! This Soul Skill is so annoying!"

"Attack Resounding Name!"

Her finger pointed at Ye Lin, and the eight spider legs phantoms suddenly spread out behind her.

"He's standing too far forward by himself, let's take care of him first!"

The four men changed direction again and pressed towards Ye Lin.

The Twin Rams Soul Masters attacked from the left and right, Twin Monkeys Soul Masters attacked from the front and back; the four Battle Soul Masters, all at the Soul Elder level, attacked simultaneously from four directions.

Ye Lin glanced at the four people rushing towards him and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He didn't retreat; instead, he took a half step back with his right foot, shifting his weight to the ground.

The Second Soul Ring lit up, the Soul-Transformed Strength was activated, and the Soul Power in the body was transformed into pure power along the meridians and poured into the limbs and bones.

Immediately following the activation of the Third Soul Ring, the Goliath Giant was activated, simultaneously boosting defense, attack, strength, and Life Recovery.

His muscles swelled up in that instant, and a dark Golden sheen rose to his skin.

Ye Lin's right hand extended its Dark Gold Dreadclaw, the five claw tips coming together to form a sharp arc, and swung it out to meet the four people rushing towards him.

Boom!

The claw struck the combined force of the four people, producing a dull, loud bang.

Several fine cracks appeared in the ground in the center of the Soul Arena Platform, and debris bounced off the surface.

Ye Lin took three steps back, leaving three shallow dents on the table beneath his feet. The muscles in his right arm trembled with tension, but he managed to stand still.

The four people opposite were slid backward by the force of that claw. The claws of the Twin Monkeys Soul Masters went numb from the impact, and each of them took two or three steps back before regaining their balance.

The Soul Arena Platform silent for a moment.

A collective gasp rippled through the audience.

The Spider Woman stood behind, watching Ye Lin withstand the combined attack of four people and only retreat three steps. Her pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints.

"How come this Resounding Name is so powerful?"

Someone in the audience muttered something under their breath, their voice filled with barely concealed shock.

Ye Lin's lips curled into a slight smile.

He raised his right hand, extended one finger, and pointed in the direction of the four people opposite him, tracing the finger from left to right. "You four are surrounded."

These words, though spoken softly, were heard clearly by everyone on the Soul Arena Platform.

The Spider Woman gritted her teeth and forced out a few words.

"Arrogant!"

The Spider Woman's Third Soul Ring flashed, and her long hair transformed into eight long braids. Just as he was about to make his move...

Zhu Zhuqing flapped her three pairs of crystalline wings and silently circled around from the side and above the Soul Arena Platform, landing quietly a few steps behind the Spider Woman.

With its feet dangling in the air, its cat ears twitched slightly under the light, Hell Spirit Cat tail drooping behind it, and its black claws already gleaming.

She didn't speak, nor did she rush to act; she simply hung there quietly.

On the other side of the Soul Arena Platform, Ma Hongjun stretched his jaw, took a piece of steaming hot restorative tofu from Oscar, and stuffed it into his mouth in a few bites. The warm power slid down his throat, and his Soul Power that had just been consumed was restored to some extent.

He licked his lips, took a breath, and the flame in his chest reignited, a golden-red light flickering deep in his throat, ready to burst forth at any moment.

Standing in the center of the Soul Arena Platform, the Spider Woman finally grasped the situation.

She glanced up at the referee, paused for a few moments, and then said, "We concede."

Manager Ao stepped forward, raised his hand, and pointed in the direction of the Shrek Seven Devils: "The Mad Battle Team concedes defeat, the Shrek Seven Devils win!"

The Soul Arena fell silent for a moment, then erupted in cheers.

The shouts of the Shrek Seven Devils rang out continuously.

At the edge of the Soul Arena Platform, Flender stood at the entrance of the passage, arms crossed, a wide smile spreading across his face.

"Xiaogang, that was a beautiful win!"

"The Mad Battle Team, which had a seven-game winning streak, was utterly defeated by our group of newcomers."

He became more and more cheerful as he talked.

"The odds for this match aren't low. How much did you bet?"

Yu Xiaogang stood to the side, his hands behind his back.

"We've put a lot of money in debt, enough for the academy to pay off its debts, and there's still a large sum left over."

"But don't think too much about it. The remaining money will ultimately be spent on the children."

Flender's smile froze instantly.

He slowly lowered his arms, adjusted his glasses, and spoke with a hint of defiance.

"You've spent all my personal savings, and you won't even let me replenish it? I'm the dean, after all; I should have some private money, shouldn't I?"

Yu Xiaogang didn't reply, but just gave him a cold, dismissive look.

The Shrek Academy students booked a private room at the largest restaurant in Suotuo City and had a proper celebration.

The table was laden with dishes that people usually couldn't afford to order: braised Soul Beast, steamed spirit fish, and eight-treasure soup. The wine was also of high quality.

Despite his complaints, Flender ate just as much as anyone else.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun fought over the last piece of meat for a long time, only to have it snatched away by Zhao Wuji with his chopsticks and stuffed into his own mouth.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu sat on one side, talking in hushed tones and occasionally laughing.

After several rounds of drinks, Yu Xiaogang put down his chopsticks and spoke.

"There's still one weakness in your team."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him.

With meat still in his mouth, Dai Mubai mumbled, "What weakness?"

"We lack Soul Masters with Control abilities," Yu Xiaogang said.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then gradually came to their senses.

Flender picked up the conversation, his tone much more serious than before. "This tactic was all devised by Xiaogang from afar. We had Kuang Xi enter the encirclement, with Zhu Zhuqing positioned at the very back to be overlooked, then we would ambush their support-type Soul Master, preventing them from using their most powerful Soul Skill."

He paused, then looked at Dai Mubai, "Do you really think the Mad Battle Team is only that weak?"

"Their greatest strength lies in the Ruyi Plate Soul Master's Frenzy Skill. Once activated, it increases all attributes of everyone else by 15% and grants them immunity to pain."

"At that point, you'll be in danger. So all tactics will revolve around him."
