Chapter 123: Battle Armor — Combine!

Seeing Ye Xinglan's gaze, Zhang Yangzi curled his lip. "As expected, she's the one representing Shrek in the exhibition match. A three-ring Soul Elder, right? No wonder she's so arrogant."

Ten years old, taking the stage in an exhibition match, representing Shrek Academy to fight, and a three-ring Soul Elder to boot — she indeed has the capital to be arrogant.

"Just a two-ring Grand Soul Master." Gu Yue Na said indifferently. "Just now she released her soul power; didn't you all sense it?"

"..."

Just... two rings? Then what's she arrogant about?

Zhang Yangzi and the others looked at Gu Yue Na with considerable surprise.

They had thought earlier that Ye Xinglan was restricting her soul power fluctuations...

It's not that their standards are high; it's simply that having two monsters beside them forces them to judge inland geniuses by a high standard.

Gu Yue Na is from out of town, Huo Yuhao is a local, and both are Spirit Pagoda people; other places or major powers should also have geniuses of this caliber, so thinking this way isn't a problem, right?

Or did they think wrong?

Unlike the others, Tang Wu Lin's side focused on Yu Longheng's gaze, frowning slightly.

"Xie Xie, that male student leading the group is the Shrek student who injured someone in the street before?"

"Correct."

Hearing this, Xie Xie looked toward Yu Longheng's direction, curled his lip, and said, "Today's really bad luck; running into Ye Xinglan was one thing, but I didn't expect he's also a member of the Shrek representative team."

Tang Wu Lin narrowed his eyes, his small face frowning tightly.

Injuring someone in the street, and even injuring Xie Xie — that's what makes a villain.

While the Class Zero students each had their own thoughts, the two teams on the stage had already exchanged greetings and introduced themselves.

The referee was an elderly man with restrained aura. He raised his right hand and swung it down abruptly, announcing: "Match begins!"

On Shrek Academy's side, the first to act was Xu Lizhi. Two yellow soul rings suddenly rose beneath his feet; amid flashing light, he rapidly tossed out steamed buns one after another from his hand. The other six team members caught the buns precisely, quickly stuffed them into their mouths, and then simultaneously released their martial souls, their momentum erupting instantly.

Ning Yue gave a clear shout; three soul rings rose from beneath her feet, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's three amplifications landed on Yu Longheng ahead.

Yu Longheng let out a long dragon roar; his body suddenly swelled, especially his pair of arms, which became exceptionally thick. Beneath his feet, four soul rings climbed upward — two yellow, one purple... one black!

After several months, he had already become a four-ring Soul Ancestor.

Huo Yuhao's expression stirred slightly.

Not because of Yu Longheng's progress during this period, but because of his other companions.

Among the seven-person team, there are Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, two Grand Soul Masters; including Ning Yue, two Soul Elders; and including Yu Longheng himself, three Soul Ancestors.

Compared to the original lineup that had only Yu Longheng as a Soul Ancestor, it's also quite a bit stronger.

Shrek Academy values this exhibition match much more than originally.

"Big Brother, Heavenly Sea Academy has a Soul King; do you think Shrek Academy might lose?" Xie Xie's question interrupted Huo Yuhao's thoughts.

Huo Yuhao withdrew his thoughts, glanced at Heavenly Sea Academy's lineup — one Soul King, four Soul Ancestors, two Soul Elders — and shook his head lightly. "No."

Heavenly Sea Academy is quite a bit stronger than the original lineup of three Soul Ancestors and four Soul Elders; their strength has even more than doubled. But Shrek Academy's side obviously isn't being careless; the students they sent out are also more powerful than before.

Most importantly, since he possesses the quality to withstand a ten-thousand-year soul ring, Yu Longheng definitely has that.

After receiving the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's amplification, Yu Longheng didn't act immediately; instead, his eyes focused, the soul power within his body suddenly boiled, blue-purple electric light exploded from around him, the air as if torn by violent thunder, emitting a piercing hum.

His pair of arms were first wrapped in dazzling lightning; immediately after, piece after piece of dragon-scale-shaped metal armor emerged from his storage ring, rapidly equipping along his arms.

Battle Armor — Combine!

Five blue armor pieces appeared around Yu Longheng, attaching to his body one by one; both arms and hands, as well as his chest, were covered by armor.

An amplification even more terrifying than the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda blessed his body; an aura comparable to a five-ring Soul King emanated from him, causing the Heavenly Sea students opposite to freeze in expression, and the surrounding crowd to collectively hold their breath in disbelief.

Battle Armor!

It's Battle Armor!

The youth before them with the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon martial soul is actually a powerful Battle Armor Master!

As a four-ring Soul Master possessing a ten-thousand-year soul ring, Yu Longheng's spiritual power and physical quality are not inferior to a Soul King, and he even has stronger endurance than Ye Xinglan, who became a One-Word Battle Armor Master in the future Soul Ancestor period.

This is also the capital Yu Longheng takes pride in after his period of precipitation.

At this rate, before promoting to Soul King, he can become a One-Word Battle Armor Master, possessing strength comparable to a high-level Soul Emperor; even right now, having only completed five One-Word Battle Armor pieces, under the Battle Armor's amplification, his hard strength is not weaker than a Soul King.

Even in the Heavenly Sea Alliance, where Soul Master strength is far inferior to the inland, his comprehensive strength is that of a high-level Soul King!

Fifteen years old, high-level Soul King, five One-Word Battle Armor pieces — how many can compare to him?

Within Shrek Academy, only third-year seniors have such capability. And becoming a One-Word Battle Armor Master before twenty is one of the standards for entering Shrek Academy's Inner Court; he has already completed nearly half of it.

Nineteenth on the Young Genius Ranking, merely because he didn't go contend for it; if he wanted, he could completely secure a higher ranking!

"Watch closely; martial soul bloodline suppression doesn't mean your strength is stronger than mine!"

Glancing toward Huo Yuhao's direction, Yu Longheng's whole body entwined with lightning, he charged up abruptly, his ten-thousand-year soul ring blooming with dazzling light.

In an instant, a deafening thunderclap exploded on the stage; blinding blue light burst forth at the center of the arena. Countless thick bolts of thunder raged like mad dragons, instantly devouring the entire competition platform.

The dazzling electric light made the audience unconsciously narrow their eyes; the violent energy fluctuations even caused the protective barrier to tremble violently.

When the lightning scattered, the venue fell deathly silent. The stadium holding eighty thousand people sank into a deathlike stillness; everyone stared wide-eyed, looking at the competition platform in disbelief —

The Heavenly Sea Alliance's seven contestants lay sprawled haphazardly on the charred ground, while the Shrek seven still maintained their initial formation, not even a hem ruffled.

This much-anticipated showdown had actually decided victory and defeat in the blink of an eye.

The Heavenly Sea Alliance representative team, fighting across age groups, couldn't even last a minute, completely in a state of being crushed by Shrek.

But everyone at the venue looking at Yu Longheng standing proudly on the stage also felt a sense of it being only natural.

This is a Battle Armor Master, after all!

On the presiding platform, Heavenly Sea Academy's team leader's face was ashen.

An age difference of over five years, yet they still lost this miserably; Heavenly Sea Academy has lost face big time this time.

Not only that, the entire Heavenly Sea Alliance's face has been completely lost.

Shrek Academy is simply using this opportunity to display their new generation of students' strength to the entire continent.
