On the other side within the Blacksmith Association's duel arena...

As the teachers standing on high ground watched Tang Wulin and his party's duel, they nodded in approval when Ye Xinglan defeated the male Soul Master opposite her, saying, "Hmm, this Ye Xinglan's strength is quite good, and even among the outer courtyard students, she is considered"

"That's right, it is said that she was originally designated as an inner court student! It's only because of some reason that she was unable to enter!"

"However, we must acknowledge that her easy victory over her opponent was partially due to luck, so, she has not reached the level of excellence!"

After a brief discussion, they filled in a "Qualified" on Ye Xinglan's end-of-term assessment!

This meant that Ye Xinglan had completed her end-of-term examination!

Back at the side of the arena, Xie Xie took a deep breath, gearing up and saying, "Well then, I'll take the second match!"

Tang Wulin paused, reminding, "Xie Xie, don't be negligent. After Ye Xinglan's duel, they surely won't hold back!"

Originally, he wanted to suggest taking on the second duel himself, but since Xie Xie had already expressed his determination, it was not good for him to refuse.

Gu Yue seriously added, "Hmm, if we fail, we'll lose the opportunity to continue staying at Shrek Academy. You must take this seriously!"

Xu Xiaoyan cheered him on, "Xie Xie, go for it, I believe you can defeat your opponent!"

With these words, Xie Xie was filled with confidence, giving a thumbs-up, "Don't worry everyone, as a Shrek student, how could I possibly lose!"

Thus, he leaped vigorously and landed on the arena platform…

On the other side, a Soul Master was sent out, his long hair covering his left eye, giving him a somewhat eerie appearance...

Just after getting onto the arena, he coldly said to Xie Xie, "Your name is Xie Xie, right? Although my soul power rank is higher than yours, and winning will be somewhat discreditful, I will not go easy on you!"

The corners of Xie Xie's mouth turned up into a smile, "That's exactly what I want!"

Did he truly believe that just a higher soul power rank would guarantee victory over himself?

Students of Shrek Academy have always been fighting above their level!

Zhen Hua suddenly announced, "Both parties release your Martial Souls, the duel starts in three seconds!"

As his words fell, the two of them both released their Martial Souls...

In Xie Xie's hand appeared a dagger radiating a sharp edge, and three soul rings rose from his feet…

The male Soul Master opposite revealed a majestic eagle about five to six meters in size behind him, its piercing eyes locked onto the former...

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One! The duel begins"

As these words concluded, the male Soul Master did not hesitate to release his First Soul Skill!

The First Soul Skill, Eagle Beak!

In an instant, a layer of chilling aura condensed on the beak of the eagle behind him, as if it could tear through anything…

After locking onto Xie Xie, the eagle dived down at an extremely high speed…

In the blink of an eye, it had already reached Xie Xie, who quickly came to his senses and stepped backward, dodging the incoming beak strike…

He inwardly exclaimed in surprise, "So fast! Is this guy also an agile-attack class Soul Master?"

If that's the case, then I have no advantage whatsoever!

The male Soul Master showed a look of surprise and said, "You actually dodged it effortlessly. It seems that you are also an agile-attack class Soul Master!"

Xie Xie snorted coldly, "Then let's see who is faster! First Soul Skill, Light Dragon Dagger!"

The first soul ring at his feet lit up…

Not until after the Light Dragon Dagger in his hand shone brightly, did he charge courageously towards the male Soul Master opposite him, and the two, like phantoms, clashed together…

Looking at the scene before him, Tang Wulin voiced his concern, "This doesn't look good. Both are agile-attack class Soul Masters, but Xie Xie's soul power rank is clearly lower!"

Gu Yue pursed her thin lips, "If I had known this matchup would happen, I should have gone up instead!"

Her Martial Soul was supposedly the best match to counter agile-attack class Soul Masters!

Xu Xiaoyan sighed, "It's too late to say this now, let's just hope that Xie Xie can outperform himself and win this duel."

Ye Xinglan didn't speak, just silently stared at the dizzyingly fast duel, her palms unwittingly clenching tighter...

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her previous duel had been meaningless!

...

Around Shrek Academy!

Xu Lizhi's gaze fell on the federation coins he had clenched in his hand from selling buns, moved, he said, "Phew, finally sold all the buns, and gathered enough money for the ticket to Ming City! Sister Xinglan, wait for me."

He wondered if Sister Xinglan, who had been gone for so long, had been eating well, keeping warm, and whether she had passed the final exam successfully.

Standing not far away, Zheng Yiran sneered, "Look at you, you should be worried about yourself instead of her, lest you get eliminated together, that would truly turn into our class's joke."

The expression on Xu Lizhi's face froze, angrily he said, "Don't you slander Sister Xinglan! She will definitely pass the final exam!"

Ye Xinglan was the most sacred in his heart, and he would not tolerate any insult to her!

Zheng Yiran let out a "Pfft" and laughed, "What? Are you mad? Then why don't you duel me if you've got the guts?"

"Oh, right, I forgot you're just a support class Soul Master, just trash who hides behind others!"

She had long been irritated by Tang Wulin and the others, and now with the others not around, it was the perfect time to bully this guy!

Xu Yucheng furrowed his brows, "Zheng Yiran, that's enough, there's no need to make an enemy out of Tang Wulin and the rest!"

Although he was also annoyed with Tang Wulin and his group, they were still classmates after all; if they really were to fall out, it wouldn't do anyone any good.

Luo Guixing also nodded, "Yeah! Right now, our situation in the class is already delicate, if…"

Zheng Yiran turned her head and snapped, "Shut up, I really don't understand what you guys are afraid of! A pair of cowards!"

This comment made Xu Yucheng and Luo Guixing's expressions darken, "You..."

If it weren't for their very awkward situation in the class, they wouldn't want to have anything to do with Zheng Yiran at all!

Her personality and actions were incredibly irritating!

Zheng Yiran simply ignored the two of them and disdainfully said to Xu Lizhi, "Forget it, bullying trash like you doesn't interest me!"

A mere support class Soul Master wasn't worth her attention!

With those words, she turned and left...

Watching her departing figure, Xu Lizhi, who stood rooted to the spot, suddenly found the corners of his eyes turning crimson...

Sister Xinglan was insulted right in front of him...

Yet because he was from the support class, he was unable to defend her under the guise of a duel!

His heart felt as if it were being pierced by needles...

Right then, an image of Ye Xinglan stepping forward when he faced difficulties suddenly flashed through his mind...

As more and more scenes emerged, his eyes gradually became resolute...

He needed to change!

To become a Soul Master who could protect Ye Xinglan!
