Chapter 11 : You Win

The sudden change left Ning Rongrong and the others completely bewildered. When they finally reacted, Ye Chen had been thrown back by Zhao Wujin.

"Good, not bad at all. Although only level 30, I can feel you're deliberately suppressing your soul power. Once you break through, there will be a qualitative leap." Zhao Wujin looked at Ye Chen, his smile becoming more pronounced. In his eyes, Ye Chen had already become a member of their academy.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but wryly smile. "Teacher Zhao, do you think you're qualified to teach me?"

Since negotiation didn't seem feasible, Ye Chen didn't mind using a more forceful approach to solve this problem.

"Oh? You're quite arrogant for someone your size," Zhao Wujin said, amused, then loudly proclaimed, "Unmoving Ming King, Mighty Golden Bear!"

With a roar, a huge golden bear appeared behind him, emitting a faint golden light that gave an impression of invincibility.

"I'm a 76th-level Soul Saint. Kid, don't say I'm bullying you. If you can hurt me, then you can come and go as you please through this gate."

After learning from Dai Mubai that Ye Chen's aptitude was excellent, and both his first and second soul rings were of the millennium level, they became interested in him at Shrek Academy. Students with such exceptional potential were rare, and the academy teachers decided to do everything possible to keep Ye Chen. They didn't want such a promising talent slipping away from under their noses.

"That's what you said."

With a raised eyebrow, Ye Chen summoned the Seven Star Abyss Sword into his hand. Then, he suddenly disappeared from his original position.

"What kind of soul skill is this? I can't even trace his whereabouts."

At this moment of confusion, Zhao Wujin suddenly felt a chill. Instinctively moving to his left, a blood-red sword aura flashed under his eyelids, easily piercing through his golden light shield.

Turning his head to look at Ye Chen not far away, Zhao Wujin couldn't help but think, if he hadn't had a premonition, that sword just now would have injured him.

"Teacher Zhao, be careful."

With a cold voice in his ear, when Zhao Wujin came back to his senses, the blood-red long sword was right in front of him, almost touching his sweat.

Before he could react, Zhao Wujin hastily raised his hands together in prayer, managing to catch the sword aimed at his throat.

But just when he thought he was safe, the sword he had caught suddenly disappeared without a trace, just like Ye Chen's eerie appearance earlier.

Ye Chen's attack was too elusive, and Zhao Wujin was momentarily caught off guard. Without thinking, he launched his martial soul skill: Unmoving Ming King Body!

Instantly, the golden bear behind Zhao Wujin expanded, enveloping his entire body.

With a loud clang, the 'disappeared' blood-red long sword appeared out of nowhere at his chest, piercing through most of the Unmoving Ming King Body.

"What a powerful swordsmanship. Where did you learn it, kid?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but sneer. "Powerful? You still got blocked, didn't you?"

Ye Chen was disappointed with his own attack. He then retreated several tens of meters and shouted, "Second soul skill: Space Jump."

With that, Ye Chen swung his sword forward three times with all his might. Each strike released six sword lights, combining into three sword beams aimed at Zhao Wujin, forming a triangular pattern.

Seeing these extremely powerful sword beams, Zhao Wujin didn't dare to be careless. He crouched down and fully activated his 'Unmoving Ming King Body' to withstand all of Ye Chen's attacks.

But just as Zhao Wujin was fully prepared, Ye Chen's true move had just begun.

His second soul skill was a space auxiliary skill that allowed any object's energy to travel short distances through the void, achieving instant teleportation.

Suddenly, the three strikes of 'Heavy Sword Without Edge' disappeared into thin air, then reappeared directly inside Zhao Wujin's Unmoving Ming King Body, aimed directly at his throat.

The extremely sinister soul skill made Zhao Wujin's face change drastically. At this moment, he had forgotten about any sense of dignity, and immediately launched his second martial soul skill: Mighty Golden Bear Palm!

As soul power flowed into his palms, Zhao Wujin's hands instantly became as hard as steel, rapidly swinging to block the three sword beams forming the killing word.

Without any surprise, Ye Chen's sword beams were easily crushed, and the difference in soul power between the two sides was too great for a sophisticated combination soul skill to overcome.

"I lost!"

Shaking his head, Ye Chen felt that the opponent's soul power was excessively strong.

But Zhao Wujin suddenly retorted, "No, you won. Sigh!"

With a sigh and hands behind his back, Zhao Wujin moved towards Dean Flender's office.

Seeing the unobstructed academy gate, Ye Chen turned to Tang San and scratched his head. "Did I hurt him?"

Tang San smiled and pointed to the bloodstains on the ground. "Not only did you injure Teacher Zhao, but you also hurt him badly."

In Dean Flender's office:

"So, how was that kid's strength? Is he as strong as Mu Bai said?" Flender asked.

Hearing Flender's question, Zhao Wujin extended his hands, showing them. "Dean, Ye Chen may be even more exaggerated than we imagined. I feel like he didn't use his full strength in our fight."

Upon seeing the blatant bloodstains on his palms, Flender gradually understood. "He was able to injure you to this extent, and you say he's only level 30?"

Zhao Wujin sighed, "That kid is indeed a 30th-level Grand Soul Master, but his martial soul is the legendary Seven Star Abyss Sword. He could easily break through my Unmoving Ming King Body, and his swordsmanship is also very similar to the unique 'Seven Kills Sword Art' of the Ning Family. I suspect he and that other girl are both related to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan."

Upon hearing this, Flender nodded understandingly. "If he's a direct disciple of a Title Douluo, it makes sense that he's so strong. It's a pity we couldn't recruit him to Shrek. I really want to personally mentor such a talent and then let him go to the Soul Land Arena to hone his skills and earn some academy funds. Sigh."

"Don't worry, Dean. As far as I can see, Ye Chen has a deep connection with that girl called Ning Rongrong and Tang San and Xiao Wu. As long as they come to our academy, he won't be able to run away."

"That's true, haha."

In the office, the two men sat on the worn-out sofa, laughing heartily, as if they could see a future where they would train Ye Chen fiercely.
