In the previous three matches, Huang Yuan, Tai Long, and Xiao Wu were all eventually kicked out of the arena.

Huang Yuan and Tai Long only suffered a few kicks, but Xiao Wu's arm was cut by a wind blade, drawing blood and injuring her the most severely.

Xiao Wu, petite and adorable, made everyone wonder when she first entered the arena if Feng Xiaotian would go easy on her.

But no one anticipated this outcome.

Liu Erlong helped the injured Xiao Wu, her eyes filled with fury.

"Damn that Feng Xiaotian! I won't let him get away with this!"

Yu Xiaogang tried to calm her down:

"Erlong, this is a competition. Injuries are inevitable. Try to calm down and don't act rashly."

Tang San looked toward Feng Xiaotian on the stage, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San's shoulder, soothing him:

"Little San, stay calm. The match isn't over yet."

Ning Rongrong asked:

"Teacher, why didn't Xiao Wu's charm ability work on Feng Xiaotian? Is it because his spirit rank is much higher than hers?"

"Xiao Wu is already nearing rank 40, so the gap shouldn't be big enough to nullify her ability entirely," Oscar added.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head.

"It is strange. I'm not entirely sure either. It could be related to the spirit beast he hunted. The beast or its spirit ring might have given him special abilities that counter Xiao Wu's charm. But that's just my guess."

After speaking, Yu Xiaogang looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said:

"Zhuqing, get ready. Analyze the situation on the field and be careful. Focus on wearing him down."

Yu Xiaogang was a bit concerned.

Feng Xiaotian had easily defeated three of Shrek Academy's team members in succession, each time with little effort.

He was too versatile—combining powerful offense, agility, defense, and control. Most importantly, he had a sharp mind and always made the most efficient decisions with minimal energy.

Faced with such overwhelming strength, the only strategy Yu Xiaogang could think of was to exhaust Feng Xiaotian's spirit power.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't respond. She simply nodded expressionlessly and prepared to enter the arena.

Suddenly, Dai Mubai called out to her, reminding her:

"Zhuqing, be careful!"

"Mm!"

Zhu Zhuqing slowly walked toward the battlefield.

The members of the Shrek team glared at Feng Xiaotian, their eyes filled with hostility.

Seeing Tang San's reaction, Emperor Xue Ye's face darkened, and Ning Fengzhi looked equally solemn.

Feng Xiaotian and Tang San were the two strongest students in the Tian Dou Empire division, and this was the first time their academies had faced each other in competition.

The two, who had no previous conflict, suddenly became enemies.

From Tang San's expression, it was clear he intended to give his all in the upcoming match to avenge Xiao Wu.

Among these two young prodigies, one was bound to lose, and there was a risk they might both suffer serious injuries.

Neither Emperor Xue Ye nor Ning Fengzhi wanted to see that happen.

But on the other side, Platinum Bishop Salas was smiling.

The tension in the match delighted him.

For the first time, Salas sat up straight, fully invested in the battle.

As Shrek Academy sent another female spirit master into the fray, the watching students began to whisper among themselves.

"Another girl is stepping up. I wonder how Feng Xiaotian will react this time."

"What reaction? That guy's so straightforward. He won't go easy just because the opponent is a girl."

"True, just look at what happened to that cute girl earlier."

Even Huo Wushuang's group was getting anxious.

Shui Yue'er playfully remarked:

"Wow, that girl has an amazing figure. Do you think this time Tian-ge will show some mercy?"

Shui Bing'er replied:

"She looks so cold and distant, like she's been through something tough. I hope Tian-ge doesn't hurt her."

Huo Wushuang shook his head and laughed:

"You're too kind. In the arena, if your skills aren't up to par, it's only natural to pay the price."

As they were talking, Zhu Zhuqing stepped into the arena.

It was Feng Xiaotian's first time getting a close look at her.

She was very beautiful, with an exceptional figure.

Her expression was icy, with a hint of stubbornness in her gaze—truly a wild kitten.

Seeing Feng Xiaotian staring directly at her, Zhu Zhuqing felt slightly embarrassed. Her cheeks flushed, and she quickly averted her gaze.

Witnessing this, Dai Mubai burned with fury on the sidelines. Clenching his fists, he felt the same urge as Tang San, wishing he could jump into the arena to confront Feng Xiaotian immediately.

At the referee's signal, the match officially began.

Zhu Zhuqing, a Rank 41 agility-type Battle Soul Master, with her martial soul being the Hell Civet.

She excelled in close-range combat, with speed as her greatest advantage.

However, in the face of Feng Xiaotian's Lingbo Microsteps, her speed seemed insignificant.

Zhu Zhuqing's first spirit ring lit up, activating her first ability, Hell Stab.

With her martial soul activated, her claws extended, and her speed instantly doubled as she lunged at Feng Xiaotian with her claws.

Feng Xiaotian, after summoning his Stromwind Double-Headed Wolf martial soul, also possessed claws, and his wolf claws were far more powerful than Zhu Zhuqing's.

Coupled with his speed, which was no less than hers, just this single move could have crushed Zhu Zhuqing.

But Feng Xiaotian had no intention of doing that.

From the beginning, he had no desire to hurt Zhu Zhuqing.

He unfurled his wings and shot into the air, flying out of Zhu Zhuqing's range.

In battles of this level, a spirit master with flight had a considerable advantage.

If Feng Xiaotian chose not to attack, Zhu Zhuqing would be stuck on the ground, unable to do anything.

This time, Feng Xiaotian wasn't in a hurry to finish the match.

Having expended some spirit power in the previous three matches, this was a good opportunity for him to recover.

Hovering in the air, Feng Xiaotian caused a sudden gust of wind to sweep across the arena, soon forming a tornado.

Unlike before, this tornado didn't appear very strong, more like a rotating pillar of wind, shielding both Feng Xiaotian and Zhu Zhuqing within it.

The spectators outside the arena could no longer see the two of them clearly, and no one knew what was happening inside the tornado.

"Little wild kitten, you're no match for me. I'll give you a chance—admit defeat voluntarily."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was shocked.

She had just been thinking about whether she could use her speed to break through the tornado.

It was their first encounter, yet Feng Xiaotian spoke to her so familiarly.

His words left her both angry and embarrassed.

"Who are you calling a wild kitten? I'm not going to give up that easily!"

"Still so stubborn! I hope you can show the same courage when facing your family."

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned again.

"How do you know about my family? Who exactly are you?"

Feng Xiaotian didn't answer. He simply closed his eyes, floating in the air, meditating as he recovered his spirit power.

Trapped inside the tornado, and with her thoughts disturbed by Feng Xiaotian's words, Zhu Zhuqing stood there, dazed, before she finally snapped back to reality.

She attempted to break through the tornado, but the moment she collided with its inner wall, her body was bounced back.
