Chapter 271 – Bizarre Battle



In reality, it really did play out this way .

Student number one’s eyes glinted as his first soul ring lit up . He shot his hand into the air, an illusory sphere of light materializing close to his palm, strands of blue, green, and white light dancing around his fingers .

He chanted a few verses and a protrusion clawed its way out of the initial sphere . Once it reached the ground, it transformed into an enormous illusory hound .

The hound’s body was lit in a wreath of flames, and as the yellow and orange grew brighter and more turbulent, its shape began to resemble a lion . Though smaller than lion-type soul beasts, it still seemed domineering .

A lion mastiff?

Is this a soul skill or a spirit soul?

Tang Wulin was in awe .  Could it be a summoning-type martial soul? But this lion mastiff doesn’t look like something a Soul Elder should be able to summon!

The lion mastiff roared at the heavens, the air trembling at its declaration of might . Its gaze landed on Gu Yue, killing intent almost tangible .

“Materialize!” Student number one jabbed a finger at the beast, conducting rays of light into its form . In an instant, the lion mastiff’s body became more corporeal .

“Little Lion, go!” Student number one was dead set on Gu Yue’s defeat . Like a flash of lightning, the lion mastiff pounced on her .



He has three purple soul rings, so that means he only has one spirit soul . Since the summoned beast has a name, maybe that’s his spirit soul?

Never before had Tang Wulin witness someone using their spirit soul as the primary means of battle . But it was nothing too bizarre in Shrek Academy .

It wasn’t as if Gu Yue stood twiddling her thumbs while her opponent prepared his attack . She waved her hands in the air in a controlled beat, her three twinkling soul rings revolving around her . Then, her rhythm changed . All three soul rings lit up at once, trembling slightly in unison . Which soul skill she was using was anyone’s guess .

In a flash of azure light, Gu Yue conjured a ball of ice in her palm that was half a meter in diameter . She slapped it again and again, and the sphere of frozen water trembled with each strike .

The lion mastiff charged at her . As it accelerated in speed, its fur stuck out like the tail end of a blazing meteor .

Yet, Gu Yue was the picture of boredom . To her, this was nothing more than a chore . She shot an ice ball at the beast when it neared . .

Her next action was incomprehensible to class zero . Gu Yue began walking back toward Tang Wulin with her back to the lion mastiff .

Just what is she doing?

While almost everyone was flabbergasted, the lion mastiff stretched its maw wide, firing a scorching golden-red fireball .

However, the meeting of fire and ice played out breathtakingly .

The ice ball exploded into countless icicles, all homing toward the lion mastiff . Jaws dropped when the projectiles flickered, changing from a frigid blue to a deep green mid flight . At the same time, a third of them vanished in a flash of silver, before reappearing right in front of student number one’s nose . These paragons of sharpness surrounded him in a dome and attacked on the spot .  



“Not good!” This was his first time encountering something like this . Because his priority had been strengthening the offense of his lion mastiff, he left himself open to attacks .

Several of the green wind icicles melted on impact, but some evaded that fate . Aided by gusts of wind, the projectiles spiraled in the lion mastiff’s direction, leaving it to endure the barrage . The lion mastiff roared, its coat of flames diminishing, its figure growing transparent .

And then, it disappeared . The battle ended .

Before student number one was impaled, Shen Yi jumped in to protect him . Lucky for him, or else he’d be a glorified pincushion .


Shen Yi had not been optimistic about student one’s chances from the very beginning . True to that, Gu Yue’s control of the elements utterly suppressed him .

After all, she was someone the Silver Moon Douluo had recognized! It was obvious that Gu Yue, the girl who caught Elder Cai’s fickle eye, would emerge victorious . Though, Shen Yi hadn’t expected the match to finish so quickly .

By the battle’s official end, Gue Yue was standing at Tang Wulin’s side, looking as calm as ever . She had decided on an instant victory since night had already descended .

There was no doubt that Gu Yue got a full ten points, granting her a total of forty-eight . Her chances of entering the outer court were looking hopeful with two trials left .

Xu Xiaoyan was the last to go . Before she went up, Tang Wulin whispered a few words into her ear .

She raised her head in astonishment . “Really? Like that?’

Tang Wulin raised a brow, a gentle smile on his lips . “Just try it out . It’s time for you to go . ”

“Okay . ” Xu Xiaoyan nodded .

She didn’t have much confidence in herself . Among the students of class zero, she was undoubtedly the weakest . Assisting in team battles was doable with her control abilities, but fighting one-on-one was practically out of the question . To make up for her weaknesses, she focused more on her strengths than her brother, as evident in the differences between their Ice Spears .

While her brother’s focused on penetrating power, Xu Xiaoyan’s was all about freezing . In fact, Tang Wulin’s cultivation plan for her perfectly maximized her strengths!

So, this trial was disadvantageous for her either way . Night or day, it didn’t matter .

Thankfully, she calmed down once she stepped foot in the arena . After three years of combat experience with her teammates, Xu Xiaoyan obtained a firm grasp on her emotional state . Besides, she was just as devious as her captain .

Her opponent was the muscular young man, student number six!

“Begin,” Shen Yi promptly declared .

Two yellow soul rings materialized around Xu Xiaoyan, making her seem weak and pitiful . She stumbled to catch the item conjured in her hands .

Her opponent also released his soul rings, but when he saw her nearly topple over, he hesitated .

The scene of the frail little girl before him screamed outlandish .

Although Xu Xiaoyan held her staff after releasing her soul rings,  her right hand gripped a jet-black hammer . No one could make it out clearly from the distance . Even so, its heaviness was noticeable, since she had to lean on her staff to keep balance .

Just what is going on? Is that a soul device? But this trial forbids them!

Shen Yi eyed Xu Xiaoyan for a moment, but she held her tongue in the end . The reason was simple; that hammer wasn’t a soul device because it lacked the slightest bit of soul fluctuations!

After Xu Xiaoyan’s first soul ring lit up, a massive ice wheel appeared in front of her, its diameter no less that a third of a meter . Then, she duct-taped the hammer to it .

She levitated the wheel of ice, which swayed back and forth from the added weight .

Looking like a struggling kitten, she raised her staff, directing the contraption at her opponent .

Her actions went beyond strange . They transcended to the realm of bizarre!

Bearing the weight of the hammer, the ice wheel flew forth like an inebriated snail . It looked like it would drop at any moment .

T-this is how she’s attacking?

The Shrek Academy students watched with odd expressions, furrowed brows and pinched noses . They had seen astonishing things before, though never something so uncanny!

It was an unprecedented battle style .  She expects to win like this? Will that toy even reach him?

Xu Xiaoyan paid no regard to their stupor . Her second soul ring lit up and a spear of ice congealed before her .
