Chapter 49

"Begin the match." The referee announced and quickly stepped back. Beibei and Xu Sanshi also released their soul powers at the same moment.

The previously noisy soul battle area instantly became quiet, with all eyes focused on the two people in the arena. As the prominent figures of the Shrek Academy's outer courtyard, Beibei and Xu Sanshi always put on thrilling soul battles, which the students loved to watch. Privately, many students even placed bets.

Blue electric light concentrated, and Beibei's right arm rapidly swelled, blue light swirling as his Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon soul power was unleashed.

On the other side, Xu Sanshi was no less aggressive, his body swelling to stretch his school uniform taut. In his right hand, a massive tortoise shell shield appeared.

Both slowly took steps to the side, their sharp gazes fixed on each other. Intense soul power continuously rose, one side blue and the other black, clearly demarcated in the soul battle arena.

On the surface, they were evenly matched, both being Soul Masters with three soul rings and above the thirty-level mark. Both were also Battle Soul Masters. However, from their soul powers, Beibei was clearly a Strong Attack-type Battle Soul Master, while Xu Sanshi, with his shield, was likely a Defensive-type Battle Soul Master.

On one side was the strongest attack soul power, the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon, and on the other, the powerful defensive soul power, the Dark Abyss Turtle. It was really hard to say who would have the upper hand.

Wang Dong seemed to have forgotten about his own matters with Huo Yuhao, focusing intently on the two in the arena without a word. Huo Yuhao was the same; their moods involuntarily fluctuated with the two Soul Masters in the arena.

After releasing his soul power, Beibei's gentle demeanor instantly became fierce, while Xu Sanshi seemed to have lost his impatience, gaining a mountain-like steadiness.

Just as Xu Sanshi slowly moved to the side closest to Huo Yuhao and the others' viewing stand, Beibei suddenly roared and charged at Xu Sanshi like a blue lightning bolt.

Xu Sanshi was slightly taken aback; he hadn't revealed any weaknesses, and this wasn't a good opportunity! When did Beibei become so impulsive?

Although he thought this, he didn't dare to be careless. He knew all too well how powerful Beibei's explosive attacks were.

Beibei leaped when he was about five meters away from Xu Sanshi, his scaly, muscular right arm swinging down at Xu Sanshi's head. Blue and purple electric light swirled around the dragon claw, ready to release a soul skill at any moment.

Xu Sanshi, however, was calm. His left foot retreated half a step, his body slightly crouching, and the heavy shield in his right hand blocked in front of him, completely protecting his body. At the same time, black soul power surged from the tortoise shell shield, forming a black light barrier that steadily protected him.

"Boom—" Beibei's dragon claw struck the heavy black tortoise shell shield, both bodies shaking. Beibei paused and fell to the ground, while Xu Sanshi's body slid back a meter.

The first hundred-year yellow soul ring on Xu Sanshi's body lit up, and the black light on his tortoise shell shield instantly intensified, a powerful black aura spreading from the shield, covering an area of about ten square meters, like a huge air barrier pushing outward. As it spread, it emitted a rumbling sound.

Dark Abyss Shock. Xu Sanshi's first soul skill.

This was a range-based repulsion skill with a stunning effect. If the enemy's cultivation was inferior, they would be stunned upon being repelled. At the very least, they would be pushed back to a distance.

However, what Xu Sanshi didn't expect was Beibei's determination.

Just as he released his first soul skill, the second and third soul rings on Beibei's body lit up simultaneously.

First, the thousand-year third soul ring, the purple soul ring, shone brightly, and a low, booming sound suddenly erupted from Beibei's body. Blue and purple electric light surged around him, the scales on his right arm rapidly spreading to cover his right chest, his entire aura instantly surging.

Thunder's Wrath.

Immediately after, the second soul ring lit up, and thick snake-like lightning instantly burst out, radiating outward from Beibei's body.

Combining the second and third soul skills, he forcefully countered Xu Sanshi's first soul skill, Dark Abyss Shock. Even though Xu Sanshi was known for his defense, his Dark Abyss Shock couldn't repel Beibei.

The black barrier was torn open, and Beibei, ignoring the black energy's impact on himself, squeezed through.

Xu Sanshi, though surprised, didn't slow down. His second and third soul rings also lit up; he was too familiar with Beibei's abilities and had great confidence in his defense. Although he might not win against Beibei, if he firmly held his ground, Beibei wouldn't win either!

However, just as he released his second and third soul skills, his mind suddenly felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, his consciousness momentarily blurring. The two soul skills suddenly paused, failing to release in time.

Beibei's body, which had lunged forward, suddenly became ethereal. Tang Gate's Ghost Shadow Step. He slightly crouched, almost sliding along the ground, his right claw grabbing the bottom edge of the tortoise shell shield, and his body sweeping around to the back of the shield.

Xu Sanshi was too late to release his soul skills. Allowing Beibei to get behind the shield sealed his fate.

Beibei's right foot kicked directly into Xu Sanshi's calf, and the lightning, amplified by Thunder's Wrath, surged instantly. The next moment, Xu Sanshi's body trembled uncontrollably, and Beibei's massive dragon claw dug into his shoulder. The match was over.

The match ended faster than anyone expected, and many didn't even see the entire process. Beibei had bypassed Xu Sanshi's tortoise shell shield defense and won.

"Beibei wins." The referee's announcement didn't stop Beibei from directly throwing Xu Sanshi to the ground.

The lightning receded, and Xu Sanshi's body, with its strong resistance, immediately stopped trembling, but his speech was still stammering, "Y-You cheated." Although he didn't know what means Beibei used, the delay in his soul skill release was definitely not his fault. Moreover, Beibei had found his weakest defensive point under his full defense, which was incomprehensible.
