Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Are You Really Human?
"Another solo participant?"
"Shrek Academy is sending another single contestant to face seven opponents."
"This is a team battle, not an individual one. I protest!"
"Protest denied. The rules only state that up to seven members can compete; there's no rule against sending just one. Have some shame, you're facing one opponent with seven and still back out? Besides, the opponent is a girl!"
Faced with the protest from the stage, the referee and the tournament committee dismissed it. On stage, Meng Yiran smirked and taunted, "If you're scared, you can surrender."
"Surrender?"
The seven contestants opposite Meng Yiran hesitated. They wanted to surrender, but how could they face their academy if they, seven against one, admitted defeat?
"I announce the start of the sixth round, first match: Shrek Academy vs. Rock Academy!"
*Boom*
Meng Yiran's foot hit the ground as five soul rings appeared around her: yellow, yellow, purple, black, black.
"Five soul rings?"
"She's actually a Soul King!"
"And her fourth and fifth soul rings are ten-thousand-year rings."
Gasps came from the audience. Following Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran was the second Shrek contestant to reveal her martial soul, also featuring ten-thousand-year rings.
"Just a Soul King?" Rock Academy's captain felt a surge of confidence.
Seven soul masters against one soul master seemed like a winnable fight.
But in the next moment, their expressions changed. A white light shone from Meng Yiran, and a strange wave emanated from her, rippling outward.
"Is that... the Killing God Domain?" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed.
"She's obtained the Killing God Domain?" Emperor Xue Ye also exclaimed.
"What's her background? So young, and she has the Killing God Domain?" Saris, the Platinum Bishop of the Wuhun Hall, was first surprised, then his eyes narrowed. The Shrek Academy students were increasingly terrifying, stirring his inner malice.
**First Soul Skill: Serpent Spear**
Meng Yiran smirked, activating her first soul ring. Nine serpent spears formed before her.
*Swish*
With a wave of her hand, the spears shot towards Rock Academy's captain.
**Third Soul Skill: Rock Shield**
*Clang, clang, clang*
Nine metallic sounds rang out as the spears struck the shields of three Rock Academy members, shattering them. Fortunately, the three were experienced enough to avoid fatal injuries as the spears grazed them.
**Fourth Soul Skill: Divine Advance**
Meng Yiran's soul power surged, forming a shield. Holding a serpent spear, she charged forward.
*Boom*
With a loud crash, a Rock Academy member was sent flying by Meng Yiran.
**Fourth Soul Skill: Divine Advance**
After her first successful strike, Meng Yiran charged again.
The soul power gap between Meng Yiran and the seven Rock Academy members was significant. With the Killing God Domain's amplification, Meng Yiran completely overwhelmed them.
*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom*
Soon, all seven Rock Academy members were coughing up blood, severely injured and unable to stand.
Shrek Academy won again.
"Well done, Yiran."
An old man in the audience couldn't help but cheer for Meng Yiran. He was none other than Meng Yiran's grandfather, Dragon Duke Meng Shu.
"Old man, it seems our choice was right."
Beside Meng Shu, an old lady watched proudly. She was Snake Grandma Chao Tianxiang, Meng Shu's wife.
"Indeed. If I weren't so old, I'd want to take him as my master! Old lady, do you think there's hope for those two?"
Dragon Duke Meng Shu glanced at Mu Chen in the relatives' section, musing to himself.
"I asked Yiran, and she didn't answer. Let's leave the kids to their own devices. They will find their own happiness."
...
"Please welcome Shrek Academy and Beast Academy teams to the stage."
As the host announced, the audience's attention turned not to Beast Academy but to the Shrek Academy entrance.
"Another solo participant again?"
"I knew it! Shrek Academy is sending only one person again."
"What surprise will she bring this time?"
The focus was on Jiangzhu.
"Mu Chen, are you sure about sending her alone?" Flender asked skeptically.
"Of course. If she can't handle seven, she can't handle nine," Mu Chen replied calmly.
"Nine?" Flender wondered, "Are you planning to send her to the City of Slaughter?"
"Yes. I'm curious how a healer with the Killing God Domain would evolve!" Mu Chen smiled.
"Healing staff? She's a healer?" Beast Academy's captain was taken aback.
"Has Shrek Academy's coach lost his mind? She's only a level 39 soul master, and a healer at that. How can she possibly compete with us?" mocked a Beast Academy contestant.
"Looks like Shrek Academy is overconfident this time, thinking a level 39 healer can face Beast Academy's seven players!"
Even the audience doubted Shrek Academy's choice, especially seeing Jiangzhu's nervousness. Doubts about Shrek Academy grew.
"She seems different from previous Shrek contestants," Beast Academy's captain, with a Flaming Elephant martial soul, approached Jiangzhu confidently, "I alone am enough to handle a healer."
**First Soul Skill: Flaming Fist**
As he charged at Jiangzhu, the captain's first soul ring glowed yellow, and his fiery fist aimed for Jiangzhu.
**Profound Tier High-Level Dou Technique: Eight Extremes Collapse**
With no room to dodge, Jiangzhu, in a reflexive move, met the attack with her soul-powered fist.
*Boom, boom*
Two explosive forces erupted, pushing Jiangzhu back a step, her blood surging. Her opponent, however, was forced back six steps, spitting blood.
"Did I do that?"
Jiangzhu couldn't believe her eyes. Though she had trained under Mu Chen for a short time, her body had been strengthened by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, and Infernal Delicate Apricot, allowing her to match a power-type soul master.
"A healer with such strength? Are Shrek Academy's students even human?" Beast Academy's captain exclaimed.
"That's right, we're not human, we're monsters!" Jiangzhu regained confidence, smiling.
"Ah!"
Jiangzhu cried out, noticing a Beast Academy member's soul skill had cut her, blood flowing.
**Third Soul Skill: Holy Healing**
A gentle blue light covered Jiangzhu's wound, stopping the bleeding and healing rapidly.
**Profound Tier High-Level Dou Technique: Eight Extremes Collapse**
Unlike other Shrek Eleven Monsters, Jiangzhu lacked combat experience. Facing seven alone was perilous. Thankfully, as a healer, she could self-heal with her soul skill. The battle leaned in her favor, and victory was only a matter of time.
"Dean Flender, who's my opponent?" Mu Chen asked as Flender approached the relatives' section.
So far, Mu Chen was the only Shrek Eleven Monster yet to compete.
"It's challenging; your opponent is Canghui Academy," Flender replied.
"Oh, Canghui Academy," Mu Chen mused.
"Mu Chen, Canghui Academy's coach is Shi Nian. His martial soul, Remnant Dream, is notoriously tricky. Even stronger opponents avoid fighting him. If he's leading, Canghui Academy's team isn't as simple as they appear," Flender advised earnestly.
"Understood," Mu Chen replied calmly.
Familiar with Douluo's storyline, Mu Chen knew Canghui Academy wasn't as straightforward as they seemed. Their team could perform a seven-in-one martial soul fusion skill.
