"He's too arrogant! I can't stand it! I'm going to teach him a lesson today, no matter what!"

"Count me in! I can't stand it either!"

"He's just a One-Ring Soul Master. No matter how strong he is in combat, can he really take down over twenty Soul Grandmasters and a dozen Soul Masters?"

"Take us down? What could a lone Soul Master possibly do? With this many people in our class, one soul skill from each of us would wipe him out!"

"I'd like to see how Chen An plans to knock down our entire Youth Class by himself!"

"Brothers, let's go together and teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"

"That's right! Once we've beaten him into the ground, let's see if he's still so cocky."

Faced with Chen An's arrogant words, the geniuses of the entire Youth Class were so furious their lungs nearly burst.

Their elders were powerful figures at Shrek Academy, and they themselves possessed formidable martial souls, exceptionally high innate soul power, and extremely rapid cultivation speeds.

Moreover, they had practically grown up soaking in jars of honey, with every cultivation resource imaginable at their disposal and renowned teachers to guide them. They had few rivals at their level in combat, and those third-rate Soul Masters who could not even put together an optimal set of soul rings were no match for them.

Each of them could fight several outside Soul Masters of the same level, and they could even battle opponents above their rank.

If a single Soul Master could take all of them down, they might as well give up and stop calling themselves geniuses. They could all go home and cry to their elders.

Listening to the students, Chen An said disdainfully, "You really talk too much. If you want to fight, come at me together. Stop dawdling and wasting time!"

The Youth Class students: (▼皿▼#)

"Damn it! Get him!!"

The many students of the Youth Class stared at Chen An with fire practically shooting from their eyes.

Everyone activated Martial Soul Possession. For a moment, all kinds of powerful martial souls rarely seen outside emerged throughout the classroom like flowers vying to outshine one another.

Flame Lion King, Dark Serpent Dragon, Snake Lance, Ghost Shadow Leopard Emperor, Emerald Demon Bird, Four-Eyed Cat Owl, Flame Lord, Ghost Vine King, Star Scepter...

Every one of these varied martial souls was exceptionally powerful. Even the weakest among them had reached the level of a high-grade martial soul.

As the students activated Martial Soul Possession and unleashed their soul power, the air throughout the classroom grew heavy and oppressive beneath it.

Feeling the pressure rushing toward him, Chen An could not help growing excited.

He activated the dark gold terrorclaw bear right palm bone, and five long, narrow blades instantly appeared at the tips of his right hand, dark golden light rippling over them like water.

For an instant, the phantom of a dark gold terrorclaw bear seemed to appear behind Chen An, and he radiated a powerful aura of savage dominance!

An invisible pressure spread from Chen An, enveloping the entire classroom and swiftly sweeping over every student in the Youth Class.

Looking at Chen An, the Youth Class students felt as though they were looking at a ferocious beast throwing back its head and roaring at the sky.

Dangerous! Terrifying! Overwhelming!

That was exactly how Chen An made them feel at that moment.

The Youth Class students could not help swallowing. They had never expected Chen An's aura to be so terrifying. Facing the entire class, he was not only unafraid, but was even putting them under such tremendous pressure.

A student at the Soul Grandmaster level shouted, "Don't let Chen An scare you, everyone! No matter how powerful his aura is, it doesn't change the fact that he's only a Soul Master!

"As long as we don't throw our own ranks into chaos, one soul skill from each of us will wipe him out easily!"

Hearing this, the Youth Class students all nodded.

The oldest male student among them even began issuing orders. "Support System Soul Masters, stand at the very back! Use your enhancement soul skills!"

"Anyone with control soul skills or ranged attack soul skills, stand in the middle. You'll restrain Chen An and attack him from a distance!"

"Defense and Power Attack System melee Soul Masters, stand at the front! Keep Chen An from charging into our ranks!"

As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight Support System Soul Masters positioned themselves behind the other students. Then their soul rings lit up one after another as they enhanced and strengthened their classmates.

Next, the Power Attack System, Defense System, control, and ranged attack Soul Masters arranged themselves in order from front to back!

In a very short time, a small battle formation was complete. As expected of the descendants of Shrek Academy's powerful senior figures, their overall abilities were absolutely unmatched among their peers.

In an instant, a multicolored barrage of ranged soul skills and control soul skills shot toward Chen An.

"Gravity!"

"Vine Bind!"

"Starlight Cage!"

"Paralysis Beam!"

"Mental Weakness!"

"Darkness Wave!"

"Flame Wave!"

"Power of the Earth!"

"..."

Under the effects of so many soul skills, the classroom was utterly transformed into a Soul Fighting Arena.

Every desk, chair, and stool was caught in the soul skills' reach and reduced to wreckage.

As the target of all those attacks and control effects, Chen An had intended to move swiftly and dodge. But the instant he tried, he suddenly felt his steps grow much heavier, and his speed plummeted.

The instant-cast control soul skill, Gravity, had taken effect.

With Chen An slowed down, the other control soul skills and ranged attacks that were not instant-cast swept toward him with pinpoint accuracy, one after another.

Enhanced by several Support System Soul Masters, these attacks were extraordinarily powerful. As they rained down one after another, not only a Soul Elder but even a Soul Ancestor would be injured.

No matter how formidable Chen An's physique was, it merely far surpassed others at his own rank and was by no means weak even among Soul Elders. Even if he used his thousand-year soul skill, Dark Gold Transformation, taking so many attacks head-on would definitely injure him.

Unless Chen An's Dark Gold Transformation was a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill.

Chen An's gaze sharpened as he watched the attacks sweeping toward him.

Since I can't dodge, I won't. I'll meet their attacks with my own!

Chen An immediately activated the right palm bone's soul bone skill, Dark Gold Dreadclaw!

Five dark golden streaks of blade light erupted from the blades extending from his clawed hand!

With a sharp rush of wind, the supremely keen blades of Dark Gold Dreadclaw tore through the classroom's air. Then, like a hot knife slicing through butter, they severed every incoming soul skill, one after another.

That was what made Dark Gold Dreadclaw so terrifying. Its edge was so keen that nothing could withstand it!

Although Chen An's dark gold terrorclaw bear right palm bone was only a Thousand-Year Soul Bone, its soul bone skill, Dark Gold Dreadclaw, was so powerful that even a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill would scarcely surpass it.

As the saying went, age mattered more for soul rings, while quality mattered more for soul bones!

The exceptional quality of Chen An's dark gold terrorclaw bear right palm bone was beyond all doubt!

As Dark Gold Dreadclaw sliced through the soul skills hurtling toward Chen An, its light gradually dimmed. At last, it dissolved into dark golden energy and dispersed completely.

At the sight, every student in the class was utterly dumbstruck!!
