Chapter 719 - Zhou Pengzhan

TL : GoldenLung

The sixth years had changed their roster ?

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes. He had roughly investigated and found out that there were four seven-ring Soul Sages among the sixth years and there were no Soul Douluos. He didn’t expect that there would be two replacements compared to the people who fought against them three years ago.

There was no doubt that the sixth years had their reasons for changing their lineup.

A total of 14 people from both sides walked to the center of the arena and formed a “one (一)” formation.

Ying Luohong said in a low voice, “The leaders of both teams hand over the name list.”

For the sake of fairness, the list of participants had to be prepared beforehand and handed directly to Ying Luohong. After that, they were not allowed to change teams.

Hence, the arrangement of troops was a very important part of their plan.

Lan Xuanyu and Sima Xian walked out and stood in front of Ying Luohong respectively as they handed over the name list.

In close proximity, Lan Xuanyu felt a strong pressure from Sima Xian, but he wasn’t afraid at all and looked at him calmly.

Their eyes met and Sima Xian only felt that Lan Xuanyu gave off an illusory feeling and wasn’t affected by his aura at all.

‘Good lad!’ Sima Xian narrowed his eyes. He could still clearly remember how Lan Xuanyu used the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd to turn the tide.

Ying Luohong took the name list and gestured for them to return to the team.

“The first match, Tang Yuge from the fourth years, and Zhou Pengzhan from the sixth year.”

Tang Yuge walked out slowly while the other six retreated.

On the other side of the sixth years, the corners of Sima Xian’s lips curled up slightly, and the others also relaxed.

He got it right!

That’s right, in this first round, Sima Xian guessed that the fourth years would send out the strongest Tang Yuge, which was why they made such an arrangement. It was undoubtedly extremely beneficial for them to guess the opponent’s arrangement. For the next rounds, they were also looking forward to developing in the direction that they had planned.

Zhou Pengzhan was a sixth year student that Lan Xuanyu wasn’t familiar with. He had never heard of him in their previous matches against the sixth years..

Lan Xuanyu didn’t know Zhou Pengzhan, but Tang Yuge did. After all, she used to be the class leader of the sixth year class. When she heard the name Zhou Pengzhan, she actually frowned.

Lan Xuanyu saw Tang Yuge’s expression and was slightly taken aback. Could it be that there was something special about this Zhou Pengzhan?

Both parties entered the arena and the others retreated. Only Tang Yuge, Zhou Pengzhan, and Ying Luohong, who was the referee, remained in the arena.

Zhou Pengzhan looked at Tang Yuge with a complicated expression and called out, “Class leader.”

Tang Yuge replied plainly, “I’m no longer your class leader, you don’t have to call me that.”

Zhou Pengzhan shook his head and said, “No, in my heart, you have always been our class leader. At that time, it was Teacher who asked us to isolate you on purpose, hoping to temper you somehow. We really didn’t want…”

“Alright.” Tang Yuge waved her hand and interrupted him. “The past is in the past, and I’ve already made my choice. I’m a fourth year now and have nothing to do with the sixth years anymore. Do your best.”

Zhou Pengzhan looked at Tang Yuge’s delicate face and a complicated look flashed across his eyes. He nodded his head vigorously. “Class leader, I will do my best.”

“Prepare for the competition,” Ying Luohong ordered.

Tang Yuge and Zhou Pengzhan retreated separately to widen the distance between them.

In Shrek Academy’s Outer Court, the first one-on-one match between the sixth and fourth years was about to begin!

Seeing both parties take a few steps back, Ying Luohong waved her hand and shouted, “Begin!”

After announcing the start of the competition, she retreated far away.

“The sixth years will win! We will win! We will win!” On the spectator stand, the few sixth years shouted in unison as they used their soul power to spread their voices across the entire arena.

Zhou Pengzhan’s eyes turned slightly red as soul rings appeared beneath his feet. Three purple and three black soul rings.

Six-ring Soul Emperor!

In this one-on-one competition, the sixth years actually didn’t send a seven-ring Soul Sage but a six-ring Soul Emperor.

Following the release of his soul rings, Zhou Pengzhan’s eyes turned a bright yellow. A layer of sharp scales slowly emerged from his skin, making him look like a porcupine.

Upon seeing this, Liu Feng was stunned. ‘Is this a Thorn Dragon?’

“It’s not a creature of my race.” The Thorn Dragon’s voice immediately resounded in his heart. “It seems to have mutated. It has a portion of my race’s bloodline but it isn’t pure. It seems like some of its abilities have disappeared and some of its abilities have been strengthened.”

Zhou Pengzhan, Martial Soul : Demonic Thorn Dragon, mutated Martial Soul.

At the same time that he released his Martial Soul, Tang Yuge released her Martial Soul as well. Five-colored light flickered and a layer of scales covered her entire body as soul rings appeared beneath her feet.

When Sima Xian and the others saw the seventh soul ring rising from Tang Yuge’s feet, their expressions turned ugly.

Seven-ring Soul Sage, she actually broke through!

According to the information they had previously received, Tang Yuge’s cultivation had remained at the peak of the sixth ring. For some reason, she was unable to break through to the seven-ring realm. They didn’t expect that she would have already completed her breakthrough before the start of the match.

They knew Tang Yuge very well and knew how strong her Five Elements Qilin was. She had broken through to seven-ring, which meant that she could use her Martial Soul Avatar. How strong would the Five Elements Qilin be when it was in its Martial Soul Avatar state?

Initially, they thought that it would be six-ring against six-ring, but the situation had changed. Could Zhou Pengzhan still accomplish what he had planned? The initially excited Sima Xian and the others immediately became nervous.

Both of them moved at the same time and charged towards each other.

In the process of charging forward, the spikes on Zhou Pengzhan’s body retracted slightly, and the surface of his body flickered with a faint silver light. However, unlike the spatial power that Liu Feng’s Thorn Dragon Spirit Soul gave Liu Feng, this silver light was much stronger, but it lacked sentience.

Tang Yuge waved her right hand and sharp thorns immediately formed in the air and shot straight at Zhou Pengzhan. Those were metal thorns, controlled by the metal element.

Zhou Pengzhan’s body flashed as his first and third soul rings lit up.

When his first soul ring lit up, his body immediately swelled up and a silver soul ring appeared beneath his feet. That silver soul ring was also covered in spikes and looked rather terrifying. The appearance of his third soul ring caused the silver light on his body to become even more glaring and every spike seemed to be shining with silver light.

Faced with those incoming spikes, he didn’t dodge and only lowered his head, using his body to withstand them.

“Pu pu pu!” A series of sounds resounded, not the expected sound of metal colliding.

Without his Battle Armor, when that metal spike landed on Zhou Pengzhan’s body, a strange scene occurred.

All of a sudden, identical spikes appeared in front of Tang Yuge. They were clearly different from the spikes she released and were also aimed at her body.

Tang Yuge’s reaction was very fast and her entire body lit up with a layer of golden light. The thorns entered her body and disappeared without a trace. Five Elements Escape technique, Metal Escape!

On the other side, Zhou Pengzhan, who was hit by the spike, took a few steps back and didn’t seem to be hurt.

“Counter damage?” Lan Xuanyu frowned.

Shrek Academy was truly a gathering place for monsters; they actually had such a person with such a peculiar Martial Soul.

Zhou Pengzhan relied on his soul skill to reflect Tang Yuge’s metal spike attack.
