At Tai Long's command, his companions stepped forward to lift Qi Ling. Xiao Wu tried to stop them, but Qi Ling stopped her with a look.
"Boss, we can't lift her!" The three men each lifted one side of Qi Ling's body, but the seemingly frail Qi Ling did not budge an inch no matter how hard they tried.
"How is that possible? He's so skinny, yet he lifted him up in one go! You guys, don't slack off!" Tai Long said incredulously.
"Boss, it's not that we're being lazy, this kid is like he's glued to this chair, we can't lift him at all!" the henchmen said, sweating profusely.
"Useless! I have to do it!" Tai Long said, stepping forward to lift Qi Ling up by the waist, only to find that, just as they said, he couldn't move Qi Ling an inch.
"Damn it, what's going on? This is a ghost!" Tai Long's face turned red, and veins bulged on his forehead. In the end, he could only give up helplessly.
"Huh? What's wrong? Why can't you lift it anymore?" Qi Ling said with a smile. "Judging from your appearance, you should be Strength System Soul Master, right? You can't even lift me, do you deserve to be called Strength System? The academy's top student is really a cheap existence."
"What did you say?!" Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Tai Long was instantly enraged. As a pure strength-type Soul Master, Tai Long couldn't stand anyone questioning his strength.
"What? You're not convinced?" Qi Ling leaned back in her chair and said lazily, "How about we make a bet? I don't expect you to lift my whole body, that would be too much for you. If you can lift just one of my legs, you win! I'll leave right now."
"Hmph! Then you'll regret this! Martial Soul Possession!" Tai Long said, and performed Martial Soul Possession. His already muscular body swelled up again, especially his arms, which grew to several times their original size. At the same time, his arms extended down to his knees, and black hair grew on his skin.
" Tai Long, Martial Soul: Great Strength Gorilla, Level 37 Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder, please enlighten me!"
Qi Ling smiled. A level 37 Soul Elder was nothing to her, but since her opponent was a pure Strength System Soul Master, she still had to show him respect.
" Divine Dragon Emperor: Possess!" Accompanied by a faint dragon's roar, the Divine Dragon Phantom circled once above the classroom before plunging into Qi Ling's body.
" Qi Ling, Martial Soul Divine Dragon Emperor, Level 38 Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder, please enlighten me!"
The moment the phantom of the Divine Dragon Phantom appeared, everyone in the classroom except for Shrek Academy students looked panicked and even wanted to back away. They couldn't understand why the mere appearance of Martial Soul would have such a powerful deterrent effect.
When he heard that Qi Ling's level was actually higher than his own, and that she was also Power Attack System Soul Master like him, Tai Long's expression became even more unpleasant.
"Damn it, I don't believe I can't even lift one of your legs!" Tai Long said, trying to appear calm, but of course, he failed.
"You bastard, if you're so tough, stop with the show-offs and come down here for a proper fight!" Frustrated by his failed attempt, Tai Long snapped at Qi Ling, completely oblivious to the vast difference in skill between them. Even in a one-on-one duel, he had no chance of winning.
Hearing this from a distance, Oscar and Ma Hongjun couldn't help but exclaim, "My God, another one who's not afraid of death! Wouldn't it be better to just admit defeat and leave? He had to experience what terror truly is. Sigh, he brought this on himself!"
Tang San said speechlessly, "You two, you didn't drag me here just to see this, did you?"
"Hehe, of course! We haven't made any moves in the past six months, just to wait for Boss Qi! Our Shrek Boss should be the boss wherever he goes!" Oscar said.
"You want to fight me one-on-one? Sure." Qi Ling smiled, put her feet off the table, and then slowly stood up.
As Qi Ling slowly straightened up, Tai Long felt as if a gigantic figure stood before him, obscuring everything in his sight. Compared to it, he seemed as small as an ant.
"Hey, what's up?" Qi Ling asked with a smile.
Then, Tai Long was momentarily stunned and realized that Qi Ling's figure had not changed at all. He seemed to have been intimidated by Qi Ling's aura, which was why he had that hallucination-like feeling.
"No, it's nothing!" Tai Long hurriedly tried to appear calm. "Come on! Make your move!"
"What are you doing? Do you think you have multiple lives?" Qi Ling said helplessly. " Third Soul Skill: Golden Sacred Dragon Armor!"
With the Golden Sacred Dragon Armor activating, Qi Ling spread her arms and said, "Come on, if you can make me move even one step, you win!"
"What did you say? You mean I can attack you at will?" Tai Long asked in surprise, "And if I manage to move you even slightly, you'll lose?"
"Hmm, your comprehension is pretty good, that's the idea," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Let's get started."
Tai Long's expression gradually changed from astonishment to anger. He was Strength System offensive Soul Master, and a pure power-type Soul Master. Direct attacks were undoubtedly his forte, but Qi Ling's underestimation of him was undoubtedly a great insult to him.
"Then you'll regret it! First Soul Skill: Strength Amplification!" A yellow Soul Ring lit up on Tai Long's body, and with the activation of his First Soul Skill, a powerful surge of Soul Power emanated from Tai Long.
As Soul Master who purely Strength Amplification, Tai Long's strengths and weaknesses are equally obvious! His weakness is that he is useless except for strength, while his strength is that he greatly enhances his strength attribute, even allowing him to be compared with Soul King level people in this aspect.
" Third Soul Skill: Gravity Fist!" Black gravity ripples emanated from Tai Long's fist. This was Tai Long's most powerful attack and his most prized move.
"My Gravity Fist is not only incredibly powerful, but because of the pull of gravity, the target has no way to escape!" Tai Long said.
"And the closer you get, the stronger the attraction and the greater the power! Even a Soul Ancestor Master wouldn't dare take this punch from me! Kid, you'd better prepare to regret this."
Qi Ling helplessly rubbed her nose, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Am I only comparable to an ordinary Soul Ancestor? That's really disheartening."
"Thump!" Tai Long's fist struck Qi Ling's golden armor with a dull thud, drawing everyone's attention. This guy was indeed incredibly strong!
What's even more shocking is that despite such a violent impact, Qi Ling wasn't injured at all, and her feet didn't even move an inch! Tai Long's attack seemed to have absolutely no effect on Qi Ling!
