Chapter 1422: Insignificant (Please Subscribe)_1
Xu Sheng's dark pupils glanced over at the nearby Shen Yi, and he smiled, "Shen Yi, I'll have to trouble you with the duel!"
Shen Yi helplessly shrugged his shoulders, "I know, but Yuanen Yehui is still a student after all, so remember to hold back!"
Although Shen Yi harbored intense resentment towards Yuanen Yehui for "stealing" Xu Sheng, which caused great unease in her heart, she certainly didn't want to see unnecessary casualties due to an accident!
However, Xu Sheng decisively refused, "No, I will use my full strength. This is my promise with Ye Hui!"
The reason he proposed a duel with Yuanen Yehui was just to curb the sharpness she had gained from acquiring the hundred-thousand-year soul ring!
Hearing his words, Yuanen Yehui also firmly nodded, "If an accident occurs, it will be my fault, and Teacher Xu is not to blame!"
After listening to the two of them, Shen Yi was momentarily speechless, feeling a mix of frustration and exasperation, "You guys... Eh, do as you please then!"
Immediately after, he took a deep breath and loudly announced, "I'm sure everybody here already knows who the duelists are, but I still have to introduce them briefly!"
"On the left side, we have our Shrek Academy's teacher and Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, Xu Sheng!"
"And on the right, the strongest student of the second-year class one, Yuanen Yehui!"
"Alright, I won't waste time on other trivialities. The duel will begin in three seconds. Please prepare yourselves, both sides!"
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"Begin the duel!"
As soon as the words fell, Yuanen Yehui's beautiful eyes suddenly sharp, and she immediately released her First Martial Spirit, the Titan Ape!
A massive primate, roughly ten meters in size, just standing there exuded a terrifying deterrent power, faintly emerged behind her.
Slightly rising beneath her feet were five soul rings...
Watching the stage, the students immediately exclaimed, "No wonder Yuanen Yehui dares to challenge Teacher Xu. She's only a second-year outer court student and has already broken through to the Soul King level. At this rate, it won't be long before she can enter the Inner Court!"
"But it's a pity, the Inner Court students are extremely scarce, with only a few more than a dozen!"
"Yuanen Yehui! Cheer up, defeat Teacher Xu!"
"Yuanen Yehui, cheer on! Yuanen Yehui, cheer on!"
These cheering voices seemed to bring immense courage to Yuanen Yehui. Without waiting for Xu Sheng to release his Martial Soul, the first soul ring at her feet lit up...
First Soul Skill, Titan Strength!
A strange power emerged from within the Titan Ape's body. Once it spread to all four limbs, her strength greatly enhanced!
The next second, having locked onto Xu Sheng's position, she propelled herself forward with a push from her legs, charging at him like a cannonball and sending her fist, laden with a powerful gust, toward his face...
Xu Sheng, capturing this moment, reached out directly towards the incoming fist...
When the two collided, he was knocked back several steps, stirring up a cloud of dust...
After steadying himself, Xu Sheng looked down at his slightly trembling hand with surprise, "This force, it managed to injure my palm?!!"
But it was understandable. He had not only lowered his soul power rank but also used Divine Power to weaken all aspects of his body by a great deal!
As a result, there was no difference between him and a normal Soul King!
Yuanen Yehui, who was carefully observing Xu Sheng's expression, thought silently, "There's an opening! Second Soul..."
Just as she was about to release her Second Soul Skill, she sensed a bone-chilling sensation coming from behind her...
Without any hesitation, she immediately ceased the release and quickly rolled to the side...
Almost the instant she dodged, a dense and robust Netherworld Ghostvine suddenly thrust out from behind....
"Didn't catch her? What a pity!"
Yuanen Yehui, who had just stood up, gasped for air and stared intently at Xu Sheng...
"That was close, if I had been a moment later and got entwined by that vine, I most likely would have lost my combat ability!"
She had heard from Xu Sheng himself that the ghostly white flames on the vines could burn the soul!
Beneath the stage, the students had their eyes wide open, staring fixedly at the Netherworld Ghostvine!
One of the students took in a cold breath, "Hiss... Are those vines with ghostly white flames Teacher Xu's Martial Soul? I've never seen it before!!"
Another student said excitedly "Yeah... I always thought Teacher Xu's Martial Soul would be similar to Elder Turbid World's Scarlet Armored Dragon! I never expected it to be a plant!"
"Hmph, those vines may be plant-type, but they definitely fall within the category of top-tier Martial Souls!! Otherwise, how could Teacher Xu's strength be so terrifying!"
"That's right! This match is getting increasingly interesting!"
The Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, of course, were also watching intently...
Cai Yue'er narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "Teacher Xu has not only suppressed her own soul power rank to the Soul King Realm, but it seems that she has also significantly weakened her physical attributes!"
Elder Feng wistfully said, "Soul power rank can be suppressed, but physical strength cannot be changed. The fact that Teacher Xu can do this with ease suggests she has many secrets!"
No Elder of the Sea God Pavilion could possibly suppress their physical strength to such a degree!
Lan Muzi's eyes shone as he said, "No matter how mysterious he is, he's still one of our Elders of the Sea God Pavilion. Besides, this is the first time I've seen Elder Xu's Martial Soul too!"
Long Yeyue nodded in agreement and said, "Me too! Ever since he joined the Sea God Pavilion, he has never displayed it publicly! This time, I've finally seen it!"
A few strands of memory appeared in Turbid World's murky eyes, "Teacher Xu's strength is unfathomable. In our last duel, well..."
Before he could finish, he coughed violently twice, forcibly covering up his embarrassment!
He nearly blurted out many things that should not be disclosed!
On the platform, Xu Sheng flicked his palm and took a step forward, calmly saying, "First soul skill, Netherworld Flame!"
The first black soul ring at his feet immediately lit up…
Visible to the naked eye, numerous Netherworld Ghostvines rapidly intertwined in the air, constantly gathering together their ghostly white flames, and in just a few seconds, a gigantic ball of flame formed…
At the command of his will, carrying an incomparable oppressive force, it fell towards the platform...
Meanwhile, Yuanen Yehui, who was gazing up at this all-encompassing ball of ghostly white fire, felt a sense rising within her that if she were struck by this fireball, she would surely perish!
Coming back to her senses, she tried to move her body to dodge, but found that every pore on her skin was trembling, as if voicing an instinctive terror...
She murmured in a daze, "Is this... the true strength of Teacher Xu at Soul King level?"
At that moment, she realized how insignificant her strength was in front of Xu Sheng!
Yun Ming, who was sitting and had witnessed everything, narrowed his eyes and said, "There's something off about the power of this soul skill, Elder Cai, Elder Feng!"
Cai Yue'er and Elder Feng immediately understood and teleported to both sides of the platform, using their immense soul power to create a sturdy light blue barrier!
They forcibly isolated the platform from the outside world to prevent any repercussions...
