In the Beast Fighting Arena, amidst the icy landscape, everyone was freezing to the point of unbearable discomfort.
Crystals of ice began forming on the front claws of the fifty-thousand-year soul beast.
Roar!
The soul beast roared angrily, ready to challenge Han Feng and turn this arrogant human into its meal.
Although it had been imprisoned for a long time, the physical condition of this fifty-thousand-year soul beast wasn't at its peak. But now, in a state of rage, it was even more ferocious than at its peak!
A soul beast fighting with all its might was when it was most dangerous!
However, Han Feng stood firm in front of Shui Wuya, not retreating at all. The sharp claws of the soul beast shot out, piercing Han Feng's palm.
Han Feng's expression remained unchanged, but the soul beast suddenly howled in pain. Upon closer inspection, Han Feng's palm was actually encased in solid ice, and the soul beast's claws hadn't managed to break his skin.
The next moment, Han Feng's soul rings shone brightly, freezing the fifty-thousand-year soul beast into an ice sculpture!
A huge iceberg stood in the middle of the arena, towering as high as six stories.
Crack!
Han Feng withdrew his hand from the ice sculpture, shook it twice, and shattered the ice on his hand.
At this moment, all the teachers were amazed by Han Feng's strength.
To be able to single-handedly deal with a fifty-thousand-year soul beast, Han Feng was a seven-ringed Soul Saint, but his combat power displayed was no less than a Soul Douluo!
Yan Shaozhe was also present, witnessing Han Feng's performance, speechlessly shocked.
"A servant of the ultimate aristocratic family has such formidable strength, then their family..." Yan Shaozhe muttered to himself.
The strength hidden within the Shui Family was definitely not weaker than Shrek Academy.
The teacher who had just been chased by the fifty-thousand-year soul beast stood stiff in place, looking somewhat embarrassed.
It was because of his inadequate strength that he almost caused Shui Wuya to be killed by the fifty-thousand-year soul beast. In the end, it was a stranger he didn't know who intervened to prevent the accident.
Seeing Han Feng's appearance, who seemed much younger than him, but whose strength was much stronger, made him feel ashamed.
"Thank you for your help." The responsible teacher approached Han Feng and thanked him sincerely. Han Feng first returned the gesture and then stood behind Shui Wuya without saying a word.
Shui Wuya was still here, so he naturally wouldn't overstep.
The remaining teachers quickly left the arena, enduring the cold, and sent the soul beasts frozen by the cold back to the Beast Fighting Arena. At the same time, they announced the termination of the assessment. The assessment would resume only after the Beast Fighting Arena was repaired and the soul beasts inside had recovered.
Although the assessment was interrupted, everyone knew, based on Shui Wuya's performance, that he would be the first in this assessment, and the winning class would undoubtedly be Class One.
Seeing Han Feng's lack of response, the teacher realized that the one truly in charge was Shui Wuya. So he came to Shui Wuya, apologizing sincerely.
He actually had a better way to handle it just now. If he hadn't brought the fifty-thousand-year soul beast to the arena rashly, it wouldn't have led to Shui Wuya being endangered.
The teacher took out several pills and handed them to Shui Wuya as compensation.
"It's a matter of cause and effect. The soul beast riot also has something to do with me, so this is unnecessary." Shui Wuya politely refused the teacher. These pills were of no use to him now.
"Shui Wuya, come with me to the office." Yan Shaozhe quickly left the arena and came to Shui Wuya's side. The shock on his face had not yet subsided.
With Shui Wuya, they swiftly headed to the teaching building, with Han Feng following behind Shui Wuya. In the blink of an eye, the three of them disappeared from the Beast Fighting Arena.
Wang Yan and other class instructors quickly evacuated the students. Then, all the teachers of the academy arrived at the Beast Fighting Arena to suppress the soul beasts that were rioting inside.
With the fifty-thousand-year soul beast on the loose, the interior of the Beast Fighting Arena was also in chaos. Fortunately, the academy had contingency plans for such situations, and the teachers handled the situation orderly.
On the other hand, Shui Wuya followed Yan Shaozhe to the principal's office.
Not long after leaving, he arrived again. Upon entering, he sat down on the sofa on the side.
"Shui Wuya, the academy is deeply sorry for this incident. If you need anything, just let me know. If it's appropriate, I can make decisions to satisfy you." Yan Shaozhe smiled.
Yan Shaozhe first concluded that this incident was the academy's fault.
Although the soul beast riot was partly due to Shui Wuya's influence with his hundred-thousand-year soul ring aura, without Shui Wuya's presence, how could the soul beasts in the Beast Fighting Arena have rioted?
But now, Yan Shaozhe seemed to completely ignore this fact, acting as if he didn't know, and voluntarily offered compensation to Shui Wuya.
Obviously, Han Feng's demonstrated strength made Shui Wuya even more valuable in Yan Shaozhe's eyes.
Shui Wuya didn't hesitate either. Just as he was thinking about finding a way to help Shui Bing'er find the feigned death pills, Yan Shaozhe offered, and he seized the opportunity to mention his need.
"fake death pills..." Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly but then relaxed. "I'll have Ma Xiaotao send them to you tomorrow. The academy has quite a few of these pills."
Inner courtyard disciples walking outside are bound to attract a lot of trouble and be targeted by many people, so feigned death pills are very useful.
Yan Shaozhe didn't even ask Shui Wuya what he needed such pills for; he just agreed directly.
Afterward, Yan Shaozhe didn't waste any more words. He briefly discussed some matters related to the assessment with Shui Wuya and then shifted the topic to Han Feng beside him.
"Do you have any arrangements for this servant of yours?" To be honest, Yan Shaozhe really hoped that Han Feng could join Shrek Academy.
A Soul Saint in his twenties, with talent stronger than Ma Xiaotao's.
After all, Ma Xiaotao was also around twenty, but now she's only a Soul Emperor.
"Can you arrange accommodation for him in the academy?"
Han Feng didn't speak. He had spent the past year wandering the continent, gathering information and intelligence. It didn't matter where he stayed.
"Of course, but..." Yan Shaozhe pondered for a moment.
"You are already a Soul Ancestor, so studying with the second-year students won't teach you much. I want to let you skip grades. What do you think?"
"I have no objections, but what does this have to do with Han Feng?"
"Skipping grades means you'll need a different dormitory after all. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to continue living with Dai Huabin after skipping grades. After you skip grades, you and Han Feng will each have your own room. How about it?"
Yan Shaozhe felt that this arrangement was the most appropriate.
Sure enough, Shui Wuya agreed with a nod.
"Okay, you stay in Class Two for a while. I'll handle the relevant matters for you. After everything is arranged, I'll let you know."
Yan Shaozhe pondered for a long time on the way back to the Sea God Pavilion. How many grades should he let Shui Wuya skip?
With his strength, even joining the inner courtyard would be enough, but he's only in his second year! His qualifications in this regard are a big issue.
Yan Shaozhe frowned, feeling a bit difficult. Shrek Academy has never had a student like Shui Wuya before.
"Shui Wuya, truly an extraordinary individual!"
