A look of reminiscence flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and she couldn't help reaching up to touch the cyan mark on her forehead.

While she recalled the past, Jiang Yi and the others, having left the office, began discussing the afternoon's assessment on their way back to the classroom.

"Three level-forty-five Soul Ancestors won't be easy to deal with. Before the match, let's tell each other about our Soul Skills. That'll help us coordinate in battle," Jiang Yi said first.

The others agreed. Against opponents whose Soul Power far surpassed theirs, they would have to rely on teamwork to win.

"You saw my Soul Skill yesterday. When I use it, it strengthens my Blue Silver Grass, making it tougher and stronger."

After speaking, Jiang Yi looked at Bei Bei, signaling that it was his turn.

"My first Soul Skill is Thunder Dragon Claw..." Bei Bei readily gave a brief account of his Soul Skills as well.

Seeing this, Xu Sanshi told them about his three Soul Skills, and Jiang Nannan was the last to describe hers.

After learning about one another's Soul Skills, Jiang Yi nodded slowly. "In that case, let's meet at the Soul Fighting Zone this afternoon."

"What? Jiang Yi and the others are going to challenge three level-forty-five Soul Ancestors?" Standing in the director of studies' office, Wang Yan couldn't believe what he had heard.

The four of them were indeed formidable fighters, all geniuses whose abilities far exceeded their own levels.

But the Soul Ancestors they were facing were also geniuses of Shrek Academy.

The difference in Soul Power between Jiang Nannan, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi and the level-forty-five Soul Ancestors was more than ten levels.

As for Jiang Yi, his strength didn't match his Soul Power at all, so the difference in Soul Power could be set aside for the moment.

Without knowing the four's strength, Wang Yan felt they had no chance whatsoever of defeating three level-forty-five Soul Ancestors.

Faced with Wang Yan's surprise, Du Weilun calmly said, "That's right. Teacher Wang Yan, I'll leave you to oversee this assessment."

"Director, do you think they have a chance of winning?" Wang Yan couldn't help asking.

"Anything is possible. Teacher Wang Yan, you should have faith in them. Besides, Dean Yan requested this assessment, so we only need to do as instructed," Du Weilun said with a smile.

"Dean Yan requested it." Hearing that, Wang Yan could only accept it and say no more.

The highest authority in the Outer Court had spoken. What more could a mere teacher like him say?

He reluctantly accepted the assignment, though he couldn't help growing somewhat curious.

Did Jiang Yi and the others really stand a chance against three level-forty-five Soul Ancestors?

What if a miracle happened?

The afternoon soon arrived, and Jiang Yi headed to the match venue with Jiang Nannan and the others.

Shrek Academy's Soul Fighting Zone was located in the northwest corner. Students could usually pay Gold Soul Coins to fight here.

The academy also held various matches and assessments here.

The Soul Fighting Zone was generally open to students after classes. Since classes were still in session, there were no students here, only a few staff members.

"Teacher Wang Yan?" Jiang Yi was a little surprised to see the figure standing at the entrance to the Soul Fighting Zone.

"Long time no see, Jiang Yi," Wang Yan said with a smile.

"Are you the examiner for this class assessment, Teacher Wang?" Jiang Yi ventured.

"Good guess. Come in with me. Your opponents have already arrived."

Wang Yan walked through the entrance, and Jiang Yi and the others followed close behind.

As soon as they entered the Soul Fighting Zone's combat area, they spotted their opponents for the match.

They were three men in black school uniforms, seemingly around seventeen or eighteen years old.

Their black uniforms marked them as sixth-year students. Their Soul Power, as high as level forty-five, also meant they met the Outer Court's graduation requirements and were eligible to enter the Shrek Inner Court.

As long as they passed the Inner Court assessment, they could enter the Inner Court.

The three senior students sized up their opponents.

They, too, wanted to know just what kind of second-year students would require three Soul Ancestors to assess them.

Wang Yan went to the center of the fighting platform and beckoned both sides over.

"All contestants are in position. Announce your names to each other," Wang Yan said sternly.

Jiang Yi and his three companions introduced themselves first, leaving the three senior students opposite them looking surprised.

It wasn't only because Bei Bei and the others had already broken through to Soul Elder at such a young age, but also because of Jiang Yi's Martial Soul and Soul Power.

But with the fight about to begin, they didn't voice their questions and began introducing themselves.

"Huang Yun, level-forty-five Agility Attack System Soul Ancestor. Martial Soul: Wind Shadow Wolf."

"Li Tianyu, level-forty-five Power Attack System Soul Ancestor. Martial Soul: Giant Palm Black Tiger."

"Xing You, level-forty-five Control System Soul Ancestor. Martial Soul: Black Mist."

Chapter 65: Full Moon Descent (please keep reading!)

After both sides had announced their names and Martial Souls, Wang Yan told them to retreat to the edges.

"Begin!" Wang Yan announced loudly, then flashed out of the fighting area.

Jiang Nannan, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi released their Martial Souls at the same time, while Jiang Yi stood at the back and held his position.

Before the battle began, Jiang Yi had already decided on his role in the match.

Though he had a deep foundation and could fight Soul Elders above his level, he was now facing Soul Ancestors.

In an environment with plenty of Blue Silver Grass, he might have been able to fight a Soul Ancestor, but in a normal environment, his strength still fell somewhat short.

So in this match, Jiang Yi's task was to catch them off guard.

His Soul Power and Martial Soul made it easy for others to underestimate him, and a surprise attack could achieve great results.

Bei Bei, having undergone Dragon Transformation, and Xu Sanshi, wielding the Xuanming Shield, charged at the forefront.

Their targets were Huang Yun and Xing You respectively. Xu Sanshi, who possessed both defense and attack power, faced Huang Yun, while Bei Bei, a Power Attack System Soul Master, faced Xing You, a Control System Soul Master.

"It looks like we've already been assigned. Then let's go easy on our juniors and let them feel the care of their senior brothers."

Li Tianyu patted the palms that were naturally enormous because of his Martial Soul and smiled.

The other two nodded. Clearly, they didn't take the people before them seriously at all.

The difference in Soul Power had already put victory firmly in their grasp.

A leopard's cry suddenly rang out. Rich cyan light radiated from Huang Yun, and cyan fur grew from his cheeks down to cover his upper body.

His hands turned into cyan wolf claws, and the wind attribute suddenly grew violent.

Four Soul Rings-yellow, yellow, purple, purple-appeared behind him.

His body became a streak of wind, and he vanished in a flash.

Xing You remained where he was, but at some point, a layer of black mist had begun swirling around his body. Even his eyes had turned pure black.

In the distance, Jiang Yi's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he stared intently at Xing You.

For just after Xing You released his Martial Soul, the Holy Mark on the back of Jiang Yi's right hand had grown slightly hot.

It wasn't a reaction to an Evil Soul Master, but to the darkness attribute.

Li Xingyu also released his Martial Soul at this moment. Long black fur sprouted, and the black character for "king" appeared on his forehead.

His Soul Rings were likewise the most suitable combination of two yellow and two purple. Just as he prepared to face Jiang Nannan, he was shocked to discover that his opponent had disappeared.

"What's going on? Is her Soul Skill invisibility?" Li Tianyu instantly became as alert as possible.

He looked around, trying to find out where Jiang Nannan was.

But unfamiliar with Jiang Nannan's Soul Skills, he could not spot the silver streak of light she had become. By then, the silver light had already reached his back.

While Li Xingyu kept his guard up, Huang Yun, an Agility Attack System Soul Master, had already reached Xu Sanshi with his incredible speed.

Seeing the enormous Xuanming Shield in Xu Sanshi's hand, Huang Yun's eyes flickered. Breaking through from the front was clearly out of the question.

But what Agility Attack System Soul Masters did best was defeat enemies by striking at their weak points.

Huang Yun pushed off hard. His First Soul Ring lit up behind him, cyan light burst from his fur, and his speed surged once more.

His body became an afterimage, reaching Xu Sanshi's back almost instantly. Before he had even landed, his razor-sharp wolf claws attacked.

Xu Sanshi didn't panic. He calmly released his first and third Soul Skills.

The water attribute around Xu Sanshi surged, and a black flash flickered across the black Xuanming Shield.

Even the presence of Xu Sanshi's Soul Power increased greatly.

Once his various abilities had improved enormously, the Xuanming Shield erupted with dense black light almost simultaneously.

The black light covered an enormous area, enveloping his entire body from every angle.

Even though Huang Yun's wolf claws had attacked from behind Xu Sanshi, they could only strike the black light.

The instant the wolf claws touched it, the black light thrust sharply forward.

Huang Yun, who had attacked in midair, was struck by Xuanming Quake and sent flying backward, his body out of control.

A smile appeared on Xu Sanshi's face. Against an opponent whose Soul Power was far higher than his, the Soul Skill Xuanming Quake couldn't actually do much.

Its outstanding effect this time was the result of several factors.

His third Soul Skill, Xuanming Power, could activate the Black Tortoise Bloodline in his body, greatly boosting his strength for a short time.

On top of that, Huang Yun was an Agility Attack System Soul Master and had attacked in midair, naturally allowing Xu Sanshi's first Soul Skill to achieve its greatest effect.

I hope the plan succeeds. Having carried out his task as perfectly as he could, Xu Sanshi turned his gaze toward Li Tianyu.

The vigilant Li Tianyu had failed to notice that a figure had already appeared behind him.

Jiang Nannan's long left leg radiated silvery-white moonlight as she kicked him hard in the right side of his waist.

Li Tianyu felt a chill on the right side of his waist, followed by a piercing pain.

The waist was a very vulnerable part of the human body.

Even though Li Tianyu had completed Martial Soul Possession, the blow still caused him considerable injury when he hadn't specifically guarded against it.

For a moment, his body couldn't help falling to the left.

Surprisingly, Li Tianyu and Huang Yun were falling in the same direction.

"Huang Yun, Tianyu!" Seeing his two teammates knocked down, Xing You couldn't help wanting to act.

The black mist swirling around him grew denser and was about to spread outward.

"You still have me to deal with!" A shout suddenly rang out.

Serpents of lightning coiled around Bei Bei's body. The three Soul Rings on his right claw flashed in turn, and the lightning attribute around him grew incomparably violent.

His dragon claw struck fiercely at Xing You. Faced with Bei Bei's full-power attack, Xing You could only abandon his attempt to help for the moment.

His First Soul Ring lit up, and dense black mist poured out, forming an enormous shield to block Bei Bei's attack.

As Li Tianyu and Huang Yun drew closer and closer together, Jiang Nannan leaped high into the air.

Silver light bloomed all over her, making her look like a full moon, and her third Soul Ring lit up behind her.

All the silver light gathered above Jiang Nannan's head.

Almost instantly, it formed a dazzling little silver moon, containing vast Soul Power and Power of Moonlight.

Jiang Nannan thrust both hands forward, hurling the silver moon above her head downward.

It was aimed at the spot midway between where Li Tianyu and Huang Yun were falling.

The silver moon struck the ground but did not immediately cause damage. Instead, it burst apart.

The vast power within it turned into countless tiny, densely packed Moon Blades that spread swiftly in all directions.

Both Huang Yun and Li Tianyu were enveloped by the spreading Moon Blades.

Chapter 66: Power of the Black Mist, Purification (please keep reading!)

What would happen when two people who had lost their balance suddenly came under attack from all directions?

Ordinary Soul Masters would certainly be unable to react in time and would end up seriously injured.
