Chapter 205: The Trial

Even though Flender already knew that the three elders were Spirit Douluo-level powerhouses, hearing Meng Shenji's formal introduction still left him deeply shaken.

Especially because two out of the three were control-type Spirit Douluo.

Everyone in the soul master world understood that while power-type soul masters were formidable, control-type soul masters were the most troublesome opponents—often the hardest to defeat.

Unless one had a specific counter, facing a control-type soul master in a one-on-one fight was an uphill battle for anyone of the same level.

Flender quickly introduced the teachers from Shrek Academy, but he didn't say much about the students since they were still trainees.

However, he noticed that the three elders seemed even more interested in the Shrek Seven than in the teachers.

Meng Shenji smiled and said,

"Please, make yourselves at home. Think of this place as your own. Come inside."

Contrary to expectations, the Education Committee's hall was not luxurious at all.

In fact, it was quite simple.

Inside, there were only the most essential furnishings, along with a few green plants for decoration.

Once everyone was seated, the Shrek students stood behind their teachers, their expressions filled with excitement.

After all, sitting before them were three Spirit Douluo-level powerhouses.

Well… not all of them were excited.

Yun Feng remained indifferent. Spirit Douluo? So what?

He had a system and knew he would eventually reach that level.

Xiao Wu was nervous. Even though Yun Feng had masked her aura, she couldn't help but worry that something might leak out.

Ning Rongrong was completely unfazed. Her family had two Title Douluo, both of whom were far stronger than these three elders.

As for Zhu Zhuqing?

She was solely focused on her own cultivation and had little interest in anything else.

It wasn't that Spirit Douluo were unimpressive—far from it.

It was just that these four had very different perspectives from the others.

In the grand scheme of the soul master world, reaching the Spirit Douluo level was an extremely rare feat.

Such individuals were undoubtedly powerful, capable of dominating battlefields with ease.

Meng Shenji ordered his attendants to serve tea and pastries, then glanced at the Shrek students and said with a smile,

"I heard from Qin Ming that one of you single-handedly defeated our Emperor Team."

"That truly astonished me. The Monster Academy certainly lives up to its name. I was already surprised by Qin Ming's achievements, but I didn't expect your academy to have nurtured someone even more exceptional."

Flender didn't deny it. Instead, he thickened his skin and took the compliment, though he made a show of smiling bitterly.

"Shrek Academy no longer exists."

Meng Shenji shook his head and replied seriously,

"No, take a look at the students behind you. Their future achievements, as well as those of your past graduates, will always bring glory to Shrek Academy."

"Qin Ming has explained everything clearly. We consider it an honor that you've chosen to join our academy. You won't be assigned any teaching duties unless you wish to take them on yourselves."

"Here, you will have complete freedom. If there's anything you need, just ask. As long as it's within my authority, I will make it happen."

Flender, being a Rank 78 Soul Emperor himself, could clearly sense the sincerity in their words.

It was not an act—these elders genuinely valued talent and were eager to welcome them.

They had even chosen to trust Qin Ming's judgment without any tests or conditions.

Suddenly, Zhi Lin, the third-ranking member of the Education Committee, spoke up.

"Qin Ming mentioned that one of your students is an exceptional multi-talented soul master. Which one is it?"

Yu Xiaogang wanted to step forward and claim it was his disciple.

But he really didn't have the face for that…

Flender, on the other hand, remained composed and simply said,

"He's not a genius, just a little talented. Yun Feng."

Yun Feng responded, stepping forward and respectfully greeting the elders.

"Greetings, teachers."

Zhi Lin smiled slightly, and then the air around him subtly distorted.

The others didn't feel anything unusual.

But Yun Feng immediately sensed it.

The air around him felt as if it had solidified, a powerful surge of soul power pressing against his body, locking him in place.

The energy bore similarities to his own Blue Silver King's power.

Though it restrained his body, Yun Feng could tell there was no killing intent.

He understood—this was a test.

Without saying anything, he simply stared at Zhi Lin.

At the same time, A Yin within him continuously resisted the invading force.

The Shrek teachers and students all understood what was happening.

None of them spoke up—this was like an entrance examination.

Flender, in particular, was more than happy to see it happen.

Let them see just how impressive our students are.

Zhi Lin's expression shifted slightly.

He had expected a resistance, but not like this.

With his experience, he could immediately sense that Yun Feng's soul power was around Rank 55.

This meant Qin Ming hadn't been exaggerating.

His plant-type martial soul was also authentic.

But what puzzled Zhi Lin was why someone with only Rank 55 soul power was so difficult to suppress.

He was a Spirit Douluo!

A top-tier control-type Spirit Douluo with a powerful plant-based martial soul!

Shouldn't he be able to suppress Yun Feng effortlessly?

Yet, despite the difference in power, Yun Feng's soul energy was incredibly resilient.

The more pressure Zhi Lin exerted, the more resistance he felt.

Additionally, Yun Feng's physical endurance was far beyond what a typical Rank 55 soul master should possess.

He didn't show even a hint of discomfort.

Zhi Lin knew that the pressure he was exerting should have been enough to make a normal Rank 50 soul king struggle.

Yet, Yun Feng remained completely unfazed.

What Zhi Lin didn't realize was that Yun Feng's body had undergone multiple transformations.

Not only had he been strengthened by his soul rings and soul power, but he also had an external soul bone.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider's soul bone was incredibly potent, enhancing his strength, flexibility, and agility.

Most importantly, ever since he was six years old, Yun Feng had followed Tang San's advice and never stopped consuming nourishing supplements.

His physical body had become so powerful that even he didn't know his true limits.

Otherwise, how could he be so confident?

On top of that, the Man-Faced Demon Spider's enhancements, along with his external soul bone's abilities, had long since integrated into his body.

These improvements weren't just superficial—they had completely reshaped him.
