Lin Ye Takes On Seven Alone and Thrashes Shrek!

The Shrek group had barely entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy before they started acting like they owned the place.

On their way up the mountain, they had dealt with the arrogant and overbearing Xue Beng.

That only swelled their confidence further.

"I thought everyone here would be like Yu Tianheng. Turns out they're all worms."

"They can't take a hit!"

"Brothers, this trip wasn't a waste."

"There isn't a single person at Heaven Dou Royal Academy who can fight."

"Perfect. We can stretch our legs here and let these nobles feel the crushing weight of real strength."

"..."

Someone who couldn't stand Shrek's attitude stepped forward and shouted, "You think you're worthy? Beat our strongest first, then talk."

"Who's the strongest in the academy?"

Confidence and arrogance filled Dai Mubai's face, along with a trace of doubt.

Was there someone at Heaven Dou Royal Academy stronger than Yu Tianheng?

"Lin Ye, of course! Who else, me?"

"That Yu Tianheng you keep talking about is a nobody next to Lin Ye."

"Just wait!"

"When Brother Ye gets here, you'll be in for it."

"..."

Once someone brought up Lin Ye, the crowd began firing back at Shrek.

Where had these stray dogs come from?

How dare they come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and act like kings?

"Lin Ye?"

"Who's that?"

"How come we've never heard of him?"

"He wasn't on the Imperial Fighting Team when we fought them last time."

"These people must be bluffing."

"Everyone, be careful."

"I don't think they're lying."

"..."

Tang San's warning made everyone nod solemnly.

And yet...

Dai Mubai dismissed it.

He said arrogantly, "Which one of you is Lin Ye? Dare to come out and fight me?"

"I am!"

Lin Ye had arrived.

The other seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team followed behind him.

Dai Mubai wasn't an idiot.

The moment he saw Lin Ye at the center of the group, he knew the people shouting earlier hadn't lied.

Lin Ye was Heaven Dou Royal Academy's top student.

Its strongest fighter!

"You want a fight?"

"Come on!"

Lin Ye had been waiting for this.

If the Shrek group wanted to enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they would have to ask his fists first.

"Mubai... don't go too far."

Flender patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder, and Dai Mubai understood at once.

The dean wanted him to go all out.

He understood!

Shrek could never enter as losers. Otherwise, how would they hold their heads up at Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

"All of you, come at me together."

At those words, Shrek was stunned. So was the Imperial Fighting Team.

Their captain?!

Could he really do it?

The Shrek Team had beaten them before.

Their strength was not to be underestimated.

"You're awfully full of yourself."

Dai Mubai had no intention of taking Lin Ye's suggestion.

If Shrek ganged up on one opponent, even a victory would be condemned as unfair.

The next second, Dai Mubai released his White Tiger Martial Soul with a low growl.

The ground cracked beneath his feet.

He shot forward like a streak of white lightning.

He raised his right fist high, white Soul Power coating it, then slammed it toward Lin Ye's face.

"It's over!"

A sneer curled his lips.

That punch alone would leave Lin Ye bedridden for half a month.

Lin Ye neither dodged nor retreated.

He threw a straight punch to meet Dai Mubai head-on.

Their fists collided!

A savage, domineering surge of icy power flooded Dai Mubai's arm. A sharp crack of bone followed.

Dai Mubai's chest tightened.

He flew backward dozens of meters.

"Boss Dai!"

"Are you all right?"

"Looks like his arm's broken."

"..."

The Shrek group's arrogance vanished, replaced by grim expressions.

Even a fool could see now that Lin Ye was far stronger than Dai Mubai.

This man was no dragon destined to stay in a shallow pond!

Flender's expression was equally grim.

Dai Mubai's broken arm was bad enough. More importantly, Lin Ye might wreck their plans to settle at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"I told you..."

"You're no match for me."

"Shrek Seven Devils, come at me together."

Flender signaled with his eyes.

This time, they couldn't worry about fighting fair.

They had to avenge Dai Mubai's defeat and deal with the obstacle in their path.

"Brothers, release your Martial Souls!"

Different-colored light flared around the Shrek Seven Devils as seven distinct Martial Souls appeared at once.

Lin Ye made no move to engage.

He said calmly, "Before we fight, let's make a wager. If you lose, you leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy immediately."

Oscar called back from the group, "And if we win?"

"Then you can go in, of course."

"Or do you expect me to stake something else on this fight?"

"Get this straight!"

"You're the ones who came crawling to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Heaven Dou Royal Academy didn't invite you."

At those words, laughter rose all around them.

The Shrek group's faces darkened further.

"Fine!"

"We accept the wager."

Flender knew that if they couldn't beat Lin Ye, Shrek would never gain a foothold here.

"It's a deal."

With the wager settled, Lin Ye immediately released his Martial Soul.

Icy crystal dragon patterns spread from his spine to his limbs, and the phantom of the Mystic Ice True Dragon rose into the air.

Yellow, purple, purple, black, black!

Five Soul Rings pulsed up and down around his body.

"Holy shit!"

"The captain's a Soul King now?"

"When did that happen?"

"Damn—"

"No wonder the captain told all of Shrek to come at him. He's gained another Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"Level fifty-one..."

Dugu Yan watched Ye Lingling's astonished expression and laughed inwardly.

Level fifty-one?

That was what came of not getting to know Lin Ye intimately.

Ye Lingling no longer understood him.

"Xiaogang."

"What's going on?"

"You've seen so much. Hurry and explain."

The Shrek group was dumbstruck.

Now they finally understood why Dai Mubai had stood no chance.

"This..."

Yu Xiaogang was just as baffled.

A thousand-year second Soul Ring!

A ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring!

According to the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul he had proposed, this was absolutely impossible.

How could this be?

"Everyone, stay calm."

"Little San can handle him."

"I believe in my disciple."

Yu Xiaogang could only grit his teeth and change the subject.

"Use the tactics we've practiced against him."

Tang San was astonished too.

But with decades of life across two lifetimes, he was ultimately more composed than the other six.

The next instant, he attacked first.

"First Soul Skill—Entanglement!"

Blue Silver Grass sprang forth at his command, dozens of strands darting along the ground like slithering snakes.

And yet...

Before they could reach Lin Ye's feet, they all froze solid.

Tang San then used Parasitic Growth and Spider Web Restraint in succession. The instant either touched Lin Ye's skin, the Ultimate Ice froze them into icy powder.

"Hiss..."

He sucked in a sharp breath.

His Blue Silver Grass had been rendered completely useless.

The Shrek Seven Devils looked grim as well.

Tang San was the team's commander and the driving force behind their group battles. With him pinned down, half the team was paralyzed.

"Screech—"

A phoenix wreathed in searing flames suddenly leaped into the air.

"Ice Overcomes Grass, Fire Overcomes Ice!"

"The Way to Break the Deadlock now is to use the Evil Fire Phoenix to melt the Ice Dragon's ice."

"Ma Hongjun is doing very well."

Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction.

The boy can be taught!

Ma Hongjun had not wasted the months Yu Xiaogang had spent painstakingly teaching him.

But the moment those words left his mouth...

Reality slapped Yu Xiaogang hard across the face.

Before Ma Hongjun could spit out his Phoenix Fire Line, he had already been frozen into an ice sculpture.

Evil Fire?

Before Ultimate Ice, it did not even count as a roadside mutt.

"Fifth Soul Skill—Ice Dragon Abyss-Shattering Strike!"

Vast Soul Power surged from the dragon markings along Lin Ye's back, and the phantom of a Mystic Ice True Dragon rose behind him, throwing back its head with a roar.

Tang San had only just prepared to use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge when the spreading cold froze him stiff.

Dai Mubai stood motionless in mid-charge.

The other five Devils had also become ice sculptures.

"Break!"

With a slight shift of Lin Ye's will, the Mystic Ice True Dragon plunged downward, bearing a draconic might that could crush everything in its path.

"Don't—"

Yu Xiaogang's clouded old eyes filled with terror.

If that Mystic Ice True Dragon came down, the Shrek Seven Devils had no hope of withstanding it.

Their lives were in danger.

Tang San was in danger!

Shrek was in danger!

And he, Yu Xiaogang, was in danger too!
