A stunned Chen Zifeng: What kind of monster was this?

The next day.

Soul Fighting Zone.

All the participating disciples from both inner and outer academies gathered together, standing on either side facing each other.

The two leading the group were naturally Ma Xiaotao and Lu Cheng.

The former, dressed in a red and white school uniform that accentuated her stunning figure, was now devoid of her usual boisterous laughter; her beautiful face was unusually serious.

"Special training today." Xuan Zi rubbed his teeth, leaning lazily back in a chair.

"Disorganize, disperse, Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao will each be the captains of two teams, but Ma Xiaotao is not allowed to use her Martial Soul Avatar. Let's begin selecting team members..."

"I want Lu Cheng!" Ma Xiaotao said first.

"Then I want Gongyang Mo." Dai Yueheng's expression was relatively relaxed. At least for now, Lu Cheng was only considered to be overwhelmingly superior among the group of youngsters in the outer courtyard, but any one of them could do that, so there was no need to deliberately fight for him.

Gongyang Mo, a level 59 support character with an absolute boost, must be acquired as soon as possible.

All of you here started as Soul King, and you're even Soul King from the inner court of Shrek. This level of expertise is almost comparable to that of an ordinary Soul Emperor.

Therefore, in their eyes, Lu Cheng's crushing dominance over all the geniuses on the continent was at least at the Continental Soul Master Tournament five years later. In this tournament, at best, he was only a slightly stronger regular team member.

Of course, its Martial Soul attribute has a restraining effect on Ling Luochеn, who is a pure elementalist, and this point must also be taken into account.

The final lineup was selected a few seconds later.

Ma Xiaotao, this is Lu Cheng, Yao Haoxuan, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Xi Xi, Ning Tian.

Dai Yueheng's team consists of Gongyang Mo, Chen Zifeng, Ling Luochеn, Jiang Nannan, Bei Bei, and Wu Feng.

With a shout from Wang Yan.

Both sides mobilized their forces in response.

Ma Xiaotao took the lead, a smile curving her red lips. She gave Lu Cheng a look, and then Phoenix Divine Fire surged from her body. The enormous figure of a Divine Fire Phoenix slowly emerged, flapping its wings and pressing down on Dai Yueheng and the others.

Meanwhile...

A dazzling seven-colored light appeared, Ning Tian, dressed in a magnificent and exquisite long dress, with her light golden hair cascading over her shoulders, opened her hand, revealing a seven-story exquisite pagoda in her palm.

It emitted light that enveloped its own teammates.

Xiao Xiao also conjured a jade flute in her hand, held it to her lips, and gently blew it to amplify her own speed and reduce the enemy's speed.

Yao Haoxuan and Xi Xi, both Five-Ring Soul King, displayed their full combat power, one using strong attacks and the other using agile attacks, pressing directly towards each other.

The main force on the battlefield remains the regular players.

The reserves are mostly there to amplify and support the enemy. In battles of this level, Wang Dong even stays in the back, relying on long-range Soul Skill for damage output.

On the other side, Dai Yueheng and his group were equally unwilling to be outdone. With a powerful stance and the full amplification from Gongyang Mo, the former barely managed to stop Ma Xiaotao, while Chen Zifeng manipulated his flying sword to slash down, aiming directly at Yao Haoxuan.

The latter's body swelled up, resembling a small giant, but sword marks were still visible on its skin.

The suppression of his Soul Power caused Yao Haoxuan to gradually lose his footing and retreat step by step.

Meanwhile, Bei Bei, Jiang Nannan, and Wu Feng completely restrained Xi Xi, and even showed signs of suppressing her.

After all, with the powerful boost from Gongyang Mo, a level 59 Grand Auxiliary, Ning Tian on Lu Cheng's side was somewhat lacking. Moreover, because he was only at the Soul Elder realm, his Soul Power was consumed extremely quickly, making him no match for Gongyang Mo, who was close to the Soul Emperor and had nearly ten times the Soul Power.

"Whoosh!"

And the next moment.

A crimson arrow shot out suddenly.

"Watch out!" Dai Yueheng shouted, his attention diverted.

"I know!" Chen Zifeng was also on guard against this move. Lu Cheng was one of the most troublesome guys on the other side, after all, archers are inherently very difficult to deal with.

"Royal!" he called out softly.

A flying sword suddenly widened around him, becoming as thick as a heavy blade, and blocked the arrow.

"Boom!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

The crimson arrow shattered.

Chen Zifeng's pupils also widened in shock. A charred mark appeared on his sword, and the force of the attack was so great that it almost knocked the sword back.

Even now, his hands, which were behind his back, were trembling slightly.

"There are indeed some things." Chen Zifeng took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"Flying sword, not bad."

Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

This guy was considered a top genius in the original story, but unfortunately, he was harmed by Xuan Zi and lost half of his body, ruining his promising future.

"But... it's only 'not bad'."

Lu Cheng curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

An extremely dense and scorching aura surged forth from within him. This oppressive aura, akin to that of a Beast God, left all the Beast Martial Soul users present feeling suffocated and stunned. Only now did everyone truly see what Lu Cheng's Martial Soul was...

In an endless sea of fire.

A three-legged divine bird stretched out its body, flapped its wings, and took flight.

The fire bow, which usually appeared simple and unadorned, now revealed dense patterns, resembling intricate and lengthy ancient texts.

"Sun-Shooting!"

Lu Cheng uttered two words softly.

A jet-black, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly rose from the soles of his feet.

Three crimson arrows flew from the bow.

"Boom!"

One of the first arrows shot onto the flying sword, and Chen Zifeng's expression changed drastically. The Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring under his feet also rose, further enhancing the flying sword's properties and making it even heavier.

But the crimson arrow gradually transformed into a Three-Legged Golden Crow in mid-air, and a scorching heat wave rushed towards him. In fact, at the moment of collision with the sword, the extreme flames even burned Chen Zifeng's soul, causing unbearable pain.

"Boom!"

Another crimson arrow shot out in an instant.

The sword was torn apart with a deafening roar, and before the cracks could even spread, it was shattered. The final arrow then hurtled straight towards Chen Zifeng's neck.

"Pfft~" Chen Zifeng felt a chill run down his spine. He glanced at the boy who stood there, looking at him with a calm and indifferent expression, feeling both bewildered and shocked.

Only by experiencing it firsthand can one truly grasp the despairing gap between the two.

Is this guy... really just Soul King?

"Chen Zifeng is out."

A large hand reached out, casually crushing the crimson arrow, and pulled Chen Zifeng out of the battlefield, speaking in a lazy voice.

"Don't even think about it, kid. You're no match for him." Xuan Zi chuckled as he looked at Chen Zifeng, whose Dao heart had nearly shattered.

"A prodigy seen only once in a millennium, he still has Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring he hasn't used yet, otherwise... even Dai Yueheng might not be his match."

"What?!" Chen Zifeng swallowed several pills, his eyes glazed over.

"Although I'm not happy with that kid either, that's an indisputable fact."

" At the Shrek Academy, whoever has the biggest fist has the biggest voice," Xuan Zi said Youyou.

Yet, a sense of unease also arose.

If this kid continues like this, the prestige he accumulates will be something Bei Bei could never catch up to in his entire life. At that time, Bei Bei's position as the Sea God Pavilion Master might be unstable.

This is so worrying!
