In a very short time, Feng Xiaotian had consecutively defeated two of Shrek Academy's team members.

According to Yu Xiaogang's previous arrangement, the next one to enter the arena was Xiao Wu.

In the first two rounds, Huang Yuan and Talon had failed to exhaust Feng Xiaotian's soul power.

Both matches had been very easy wins for Feng Xiaotian, putting a significant amount of psychological pressure on Xiao Wu, who was about to enter.

Tang San patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder and reassured her:

"Xiao Wu, his speed is very fast, and his attack power is strong. Be careful not to get too close to him. Try to wear him down with dodges. Do your best and don't force it. I believe in you."

"We believe in you too, Xiao Wu," the others added, nodding in encouragement.

Xiao Wu smiled slightly and made a playful face.

"Don't worry. I've got this. I'll make sure to complete the task successfully."

With that, Xiao Wu confidently walked toward the arena, but Tang San had a vague feeling of unease.

When the spectators saw that Shrek had sent a girl in a pink outfit, they became quite excited.

Everyone began to discuss animatedly.

"The first two members from Shrek Academy were both male. Feng Xiaotian showed no mercy and kicked them out of the arena."

"This time they've sent a girl, who looks harmless and adorable. I wonder what Feng Xiaotian will do."

"What can he do? She's his opponent, after all. He can't afford to go easy on her. Victory is surely going to be Feng Xiaotian's."

Huo Wushuang and the others were also discussing the match.

"Xiao Wu is finally taking the stage. She's one of Shrek Academy's main forces and also Tang San's close associate. Do you think Feng Xiaotian will go easy on her?"

Shui Yue'er said, "In the previous matches, Feng Xiaotian hasn't faced a female soul master. I guess he probably won't be too harsh on her."

Shui Bing'er added, "I agree with Yue'er. Huo Wu, what do you think?"

Huo Wu shook her head. Feng Xiaotian was unpredictable to her.

"I'm not sure. The match is about to start, and we'll find out soon."

On the other side, when the members of the Thunderclap Team saw Xiao Wu step onto the field, their eyes gleamed with cold light.

In the previous match against Shrek Academy, Lei Dong had only acted normally, but he injured Xiao Wu and, as a result, had been severely retaliated against by Shrek Academy.

After Dai Mubai took the stage, he heavily injured Lei Dong, preventing him from participating in the subsequent finals.

Even though the entire Thunderclap Team protested, it was to no avail.

As the vice-captain, Lei Dong's strength was second only to Yu Tianxin's. Losing him was a significant blow to the Thunderclap Academy.

Although Xiao Wu wasn't directly responsible, she was the cause, and thus bore primary responsibility for the incident.

Yu Tianxin coldly smiled, thinking to himself:

"Tang San, Dai Mubai, if Feng Xiaotian injures Xiao Wu this time, what will you do?"

Yu Tianxin and the members of the Thunderclap Academy were eagerly anticipating the upcoming match.

Xiao Wu slowly walked onto the field and inevitably locked eyes with Feng Xiaotian.

"Feng Xiaotian, even though you're strong, I won't let you win this time as easily as you did in the previous two matches."

Feng Xiaotian smirked coldly, regarding the little girl before him as inconsequential.

"Oh? Are you all so bored? Every opponent I face loves to talk big. Show me what you've got."

Feng Xiaotian's arrogance infuriated Xiao Wu and everyone from Shrek Academy, especially Tang San.

If not for the rules, Tang San would have rushed onto the field to face Feng Xiaotian himself.

With the referee's announcement, the match officially began.

Xiao Wu, a level 39 agility-type battle soul master, was a transformed form of the 100,000-year-old soul beast Soft Bone Rabbit.

As soon as the match began, she intended to take the initiative.

Her second soul ring suddenly lit up, activating her second soul skill, Charm.

This was a control-type soul skill that used pink light from the eyes to mesmerize the opponent and slow their movements.

Feng Xiaotian did not avoid Xiao Wu's gaze but directly met her eyes.

After a moment, Feng Xiaotian stood still, unmoving, with a somewhat dazed expression, as if something had pinned him in place.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

"He actually fell for Xiao Wu's Charm skill!"

The members of Shrek Academy were all visibly delighted, except for Tang San, who watched Feng Xiaotian with an unreadable expression.

"Is it really that simple? This seems too unreal."

Tang San felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint the problem.

Meanwhile,

Huo Wushuang scratched his head anxiously.

"That's a Charm skill that delays actions. How could he be so careless? Could he really have been affected?"

Shui Bing'er smiled slightly.

"Impossible! Have you forgotten where Tian Ge's fifth soul ring comes from? That level of Charm won't affect him."

"Oh, right! The thirty-thousand-year-old Fire Red Flying Fox!"

"Got it now! Tian Ge's quite the actor, huh? Haha~~"

[For readers unfamiliar with the setup: The previous soul beasts were misarranged and have been corrected. The fourth soul beast is the ten-thousand-year-old Black Wind Demon Snake, which enhances soul power by two levels and grants the soul skill Thousand Blades Unite. The fifth soul beast is the thirty-thousand-year-old Fire Red Flying Fox (a phoenix-like fox with wings), which enhances soul power by three levels, boosts speed and flight abilities, grants the left leg soul bone, teleportation, and the soul skill Wind of Entanglement.]

On the field,

Seeing Feng Xiaotian fall under the effect of the Charm, Xiao Wu didn't hesitate to activate her first soul skill, Waist Bow, and charged straight at him.

Just as she was about to reach Feng Xiaotian, his eyes suddenly snapped open, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Tang San noticed the subtle change in Feng Xiaotian's expression with his Purple Extreme Magic Eyes.

Tang San's heart skipped a beat, sensing danger, and he shouted:

"Xiao Wu! Watch out!"

Xiao Wu heard Tang San's voice, but it was too late.

With a sudden movement, Feng Xiaotian's Wind Blade Cage activated, trapping Xiao Wu instantly.

"Too naive! No matter how fast you are, you won't escape now!"

Xiao Wu tried to break the Wind Blade Cage with sheer force.

But as soon as she managed to create a small opening, it immediately closed again.

Feng Xiaotian gave her no chance to catch her breath.

With the Wind God Leg activated, Feng Xiaotian kicked once, twice, three times, sending Xiao Wu and the Wind Blade Cage out of the arena, causing her to fall to the ground.

At this moment, Xiao Wu's arms were covered in dozens of cuts, with blood seeping out from the wounds caused by the Wind Blades.

The members of Shrek Academy rushed to her side.

Tang San helped Xiao Wu up, tears streaming down his face as he looked at her injuries.

"Xiao Wu, how are you?"

Xiao Wu looked bewildered, completely confused about what had happened.

"Brother, why did my Charm skill have no effect on him at all?"

"Xiao Wu, don't say anything. I'll avenge you!"

Tang San glared at Feng Xiaotian on the field, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
