Chapter 252.

As the match began, Dai Mubai's possessed his martial soul, transforming himself.

He refrained from using the long-range soul ring abilities [White Tiger Intense Light Wave] and the [White Tiger Meteor Shower]. The former had too low a hit rate against Jiu Yikai because of his extreme speed, while the latter required a few moments to be unleashed, leaving him vulnerable to attacks.

In terms of strength alone, Dai Mubai was the most balanced among the seven. He possessed defense, strength, agility, group attack capabilities and is also versatile in 'kiting' opponents from far. His strength was robust, his defense high, and although he wasn't as fast as the agility attack system offensive soul masters, his speed was still sufficient.

His soul power level was also the highest. 

"White Tiger Light Shield!"

As Wang Feng attacked, Dai Mubai didn't rush. Instead, he used his first soul ring ability to erect a shield directly.

This time, he didn't just defend one area because Jiu Yikai's attacks were too unpredictable. Dai Mubai couldn't anticipate where he would strike next, so he covered his entire body without sparing any soul power.

Thus, Wang Feng also said nothing, as a spear materialized directly.

With a direct and simple thrust, the spear pierced through Dai Mubai's White Tiger Light Shield easily.

Apart from external defense, his White Tiger Light Shield also granted him increased strength.

Seeing the shield pierced, Dai Mubai was shocked, but luckily, his rich combat experience kicked in, as he quickly dodged sideways, perspiring in cold sweat.

The opponent's soul bone was much stronger than he had anticipated, capable of penetrating even his White Tiger Light Shield.

"It seems like the opponent's soul bone also have high penetrating power," Tang San observed, shocked. "Its piercing power is so strong that Mubai's defense couldn't even slow it down. It's stronger than any hidden weapon in my arsenal at this stage! Dragon's Beard Needle is not even comparable to it."

What kind of soul bone could possess such terrifying piercing power?

With the shield broken, Wang Feng's spear transformed into a hammer and Dai Mubai was sent flying with a few strikes.

However, Dai Mubai managed to hold on for fifteen seconds, meeting the standard and becoming the only one among them to complete the task.

Next up was Tang San.

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Tang San was the most challenging to deal with.

Wang Feng observed Tang San quietly.

Although the two had fought many times, Wang Feng had never solely relied on Armored Black Thorns in their battles. Especially at this level, it was almost unheard of.

At this point, Tang San was no longer a child. Even without the use of hidden weapons, he had mastered various Tang Sect martial arts techniques to an advanced level. His Mysterious Jade Hand, Controlling Crane Catching Dragon technique, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track techniques were all honed to perfection.

With his Blue Silver Grass also possessing four soul rings, including a ten-thousand-year soul ring, he was very formidable in one-on-one combat. His previous victories were consistent, and no one proved to be Tang San's equal.

The game commenced once more. 

No other team had forced Shrek Academy to field all seven players in consecutive matches. And all seven were being defeated with astonishing speed—it was truly remarkable!

Jiu Yikai approach to this promotion match was refreshing, and can be summed up in just two words: "Extreme efficiency"!

As the match began, Tang San didn't hesitate. 

The Blue Silver Grass in his hand shimmered, and he moved swiftly, his steps showing the use of his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track as he left afterimages. However, instead of attacking Jiu Yikai directly, he circled the ring.

The Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track made him faster than typical power attack system Soul Ancestors, but much slower than Xiao Wu or Zhuqing. 

His strength lay in subtlety, allowing him to dodge enemy attacks by a minute margin.

Yet, even Xiao Wu's speed couldn't match up to Jiu Yikai, leaving Tang San at a disadvantage. Moreover, the opponent also has a very fast reaction speed, whether it was [Bind] or [Cobweb], controlling the opponent was impossible in the first attempt.

The instantaneous [Blue Silver Prison] lacked durability and wasted lot of soul power. However, Tang San quickly moved around the ring, covering it with a layer of Blue Silver Grass.

With the Blue-Silver Grass covering the ground, the opponent's approach was met with defense and counterattack. This greatly increased the speed of releasing the [Bind] soul ability. Coupled with the [Ghost Vine Parasite] soul ability, it could swiftly restrict and delay the opponent.

The strategy was effective, the best method to confront Jiu Yikai.

However, as the blue-silver grass spread, Jiu Yikai made a move.

In his left hand, a black light condensed, forming a long blade. Another long blade appeared in his right hand, but this time they looked a little different! Resembling a katana, he held both sword in his hand.

Yet, that wasn't all.

A black light emanated from Jiu Yikai mouth, coalescing into yet another long katana.

Three swords!

Witnessing this, everyone was stunned. Jiu Yikai was displaying a remarkable division of focus. Controlling three swords directly, not giving Tang San's Blue Silver Grass any chance to entangle at all.

Tang San was slightly startled.

At that moment, Jiu Yikai rushed towards him.

Armored Black Thorns Katana in his right and left hand, pointing directly on the ground, he charged towards Tang San's Blue Silver Grass position. The terrifying momentum caused the Armored Black Thorns Katanas to drag countless sparks on the ground, cutting the blue silver grass into shreds!

It swept past like a roller!

"[Bind]!" Tang San said solemnly.

The opponent's physical fitness far surpassed his own, and he couldn't let the opponent get close, even with his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Controlling Crane Catching Dragon.

The blue silver grass bloomed, and the countless chopped pieces attacked Wang Feng. Due to being cut, the release speed of the [Bind] soul ability was greatly reduced.

At this moment, Jiu Yikai swung his left hand, also the long blade in his mouth suddenly flashed, instantly cutting the blue silver grass vines that hadn't entangled around his body into shreds!

"[Cobweb]!" Tang San threw the condensed light ball toward Jiu Yikai, forming a huge Blue Silver Grass spider web in the air.

Jiu Yikai murmured lowly as the long blade in his hand shattered into countless black particles like fragments, as dozens of black awns sliced through the air, instantly tearing the web to shreds. Then he quickly formed another long blade in his hand.

Under this onslaught, Tang San's attacks faltered, unable to hinder the opponent's advance.

"Truly formidable," Tang San's heart sank.

The opponent's use of soul bones had reached its peak. With Heart Separation Control technique, Jiu Yikai used the dragging motion of his katana on the ground to break through the blue silver grass, preventing Tang San from releasing his [Bind] soul ability quickly. Moreover, the swords in his hand and mouth could change shape, easily cutting through the blue silver grass from any angle.

Even if the [Cobweb] restraint was successfully deployed, Jiu Yikai could change the shape of his long blade in time, forming countless broken pieces and cutting through the spiderweb vines easily.

In all seriousness, this was the first time Tang San faced Jiu Yikai. The pressure he felt was akin to the time he felt in the presence of Six Ringed Soul Emperor.

Although their abilities were completely different, the pressure was similar.

Soon, Jiu Yikai, breaking Tang San's offensive, was already close to Tang San.

Wang Feng knew very well that to prevent Tang San's Tang Sect martial arts from working, he only needed to use his body's abilities to overpower it.

In simple terms, he needed to be faster and stronger than Tang San. Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Controlling Crane Catching Dragon would be ineffective.

To put it plainly, absolute strength would prevail.

Wang Feng threw a fist at Tang San!

In that instant, Tang San's eyes flickered, and he attempted to dodge. He even encased himself in [Blue Silver Prison/Cage]!

But at that very moment, Wang Feng withdrew the Armored Black Thorn, concealed the Black Thorns Armor secretly, and used the second tier of his strength stealthily!

A tremendous gust of wind surged from his fist!

The speed of his punch multiplied several times over!

Fast!

Incredibly fast!

And the acceleration was sudden!

This punch speed surpassed Tang San's imagination!

It wasn't until he was blasted away by the punch, his [Blue Silver cage] shattered, that a realization struck him, Jiu Yikai had used his true strength!

His thoughts fleeting, Tang San managed to adjust his body in mid-air and landed steadily in the ring, his expression grim.

With that punch just now, the opponent didn't even use the power of his soul bone, yet the speed was pushed to the extreme!

Though it was only a momentary burst, Tang San keenly felt that the opponent's strength had clearly elevated to a higher level just then!

"Brother, are you okay?" Xiao Wu hurried over.

Tang San's face was a little pale, and he coughed a few times. "It's okay, just some injuries in my body."

"What happened just now?" Dai Mubai asked solemnly.

Tang San turned around, gazing at the Jiu Yikai on the ring, and slowly replied, "Even Jiu Yikai is hiding strength. I should have been able to anticipate and dodge his punch just now, but the speed suddenly increased several time over. I couldn't react at all."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Hidden strength? Can one conceal their strength to this extent? After so many matches, Jiu Yikai still hadn't revealed his true power? Isn't this too exaggerated?

Everyone stared at Jiu Yikai on the ring in astonishment.–

For a long time, they had believed the opponent's strength was obvious, the mysterious soul bone capable of changing its form, comparable to the physical abilities of a 60th-level power attack system soul master. They never imagined the he was also hiding his strength!

But if thinking clearly Jiu Yikai hadn't used his martial soul and soul ring abilities yet!!!!

How deep did this hidden strength go?

For a moment, a sense of unease filled everyone's hearts.
