Jiang Qingtong activated her Spiritual Detection Sharing, linking her spiritual power to Beibei and the others.
For Ning Tian, this was the first time she had ever experienced such a miraculous soul skill. When she saw that the entire arena had appeared within her field of vision, she was utterly astonished.
"Ning Tian, boost us!" Beibei shouted back at her when he saw her still dazed.
Snapped out of it by Beibei's voice, Ning Tian quickly released her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and cried out:
"Seven Treasures have a name—First is Strength! Second is Speed! Third is Soul!"
Layer after layer of radiant light fell upon the other three.
Wang Dong'er spread her hands and the butterfly wings at her back, exclaiming in surprise, "This is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda? I feel my strength rising so much! No wonder it's called the number one support-type martial soul on the continent!"
Jiang Qingtong unfurled her phoenix wings and declared, "Dong'er, protect Ning Tian. I'll go up with Beibei!"
Beibei was taken aback by her words. He had thought she would choose to fight side by side with Wang Dong'er—who would have expected she'd pick him?
Did this mean… she at least recognized him a little?
Seeing him hesitate, Jiang Qingtong snapped, "What are you standing there for?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she beat her phoenix wings and shot forward, fireballs gathering all around her as she unleashed Phoenix Meteor Shower!
Seeing this, Beibei wasted no time and charged as well.
On the other side, Ai Cao's expression was cold and stern. She intoned, "Fifth Soul Skill—Chains of the Void!!"
With the release of her skill, spatial fissures appeared all around the arena. From within them flew countless chains, weaving together in an instant to form a vast network that spanned the entire battlefield.
The elders at the podium had several of their eyes light up at the sight.
"This is… a space-type martial soul! Who would have thought the Sun–Moon Empire held so many fine martial souls? First the Jiang siblings, and now this Space Demon Chains!"
"Let's see how well she wields it. If her talent proves high enough, we must ensure she stays with the academy!"
Hearing this, Du Busi glanced at Xuan Zi and said, "So this is how you Shrek folks recruit students?"
Xuan Zi shot him a look. "Old Poison, does your Body Sect even have the right to say that to us?"
On the field, Ai Cao's large-scale interference skill shocked the Shrek students who had never before witnessed the Space Demon Chains martial soul. But Ai Cao was not done yet. She called out again:
"Second Soul Skill—Piercing Chains!"
The chains emerging from and vanishing into the spatial rifts suddenly sprouted sharp spikes, glinting coldly with murderous light.
Many of the fireballs from Jiang Qingtong's Phoenix Meteor Shower smashed into the chains, but the violent flames still failed to shake them in the slightest!
"Junior Brother Shengyu, go! I'll use the Chains of the Void to restrict your opponents!" Ai Cao called to Jiang Shengyu.
Seeing the resolve in her eyes, Jiang Shengyu nodded. Drawing his Twilight Sword, he charged at Beibei.
As he was not a beast-type martial soul user, Beibei's draconic aura had no effect on him. He was, indeed, the most suitable one to face Beibei head-on.
With Ning Tian's support, Beibei managed to weave and dodge within the interference field of the Chains of the Void. Though slowed, he wasn't overly hindered. But once Jiang Shengyu closed in, the situation changed completely.
Jiang Shengyu's cultivation was higher, and his Ultimate Ice attribute far stronger. Locked in battle with him, Beibei had no leeway to watch for the spatial chains around him.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen both rushed at Jiang Qingtong. Xiao Hongchen leapt forward to intercept her, while Meng Hongchen darted past, aiming straight for Wang Dong'er at the rear.
A dense mist of icy fog spread before her, which she pushed toward Wang Dong'er and Ning Tian.
"Not good—that fog is poisonous! Dodge quickly!" Wang Dong'er cried as she saw Meng Hongchen approaching. She swiftly pushed Ning Tian out of the way, then fanned her butterfly wings, unleashing Butterfly Goddess' Light and her Wing-Edge Slash to block Meng Hongchen's advance.
Beibei turned to glance their way, but Jiang Shengyu thrust his sword at him again, sneering:
"Can't even focus in a fight—pathetic! No wonder Tang Sect's master had no interest in staying at Shrek Academy with you!"
"What nonsense are you spouting!?"
Hearing this, Beibei instinctively glanced toward Jiang Qingtong, who was still battling Xiao Hongchen. Fury surged within him as thunderous dragon claws wrapped around his hands. He struck at Jiang Shengyu's sword with his First Soul Skill—Thunder Dragon Claw!
Arcs of lightning coursed into the Twilight Sword, spreading toward Jiang Shengyu's right hand.
With a flick of his wrist, Jiang Shengyu forced the lightning out of his weapon with his soul power. The blue-white sphere of energy shot into one of the nearby space chains, sparking violently on impact.
From behind, Ai Cao waved her hand again, and several more Chains of the Void extended to further confine Beibei's movements.
Feigning puzzlement, Jiang Shengyu smirked. "I mention Tang Sect's master and you get furious—that I can understand. But why glance at my sister? Could it be…?"
As he spoke, his face twisted into the same shocked and angry expression any older brother would show when realizing another man had eyes for his sister.
Beibei, seeing his expression, never suspected it was an act. He remembered Mu En's dying exhortation and, gritting his teeth, growled:
"So what if I do?"
The moment those four words left his mouth, Jiang Shengyu maintained his furious facade, but inside he was overjoyed.
So what?
That was more than enough reason to go all out!
With so many Sea God Pavilion elders—famous for their extreme protectiveness—watching, he couldn't possibly kill Beibei.
But he could make him hurt.
Badly.
"You've asked for this yourself," Jiang Shengyu muttered under his breath. He hadn't borne Beibei any real grudge before. But if Beibei dared pursue Jiang Qingtong, then their enmity was more than personal.
Jiang Shengyu twirled his sword, and the soul power vortex at his abdomen spun rapidly, drawing in the surrounding energy and compressing it into soul power for his use.
Though nowhere near the efficiency of a Title Douluo's soul core, this was already its embryonic form.
On the podium, those who noticed Jiang Shengyu's vortex were shocked.
"He's already forming a soul power vortex at his age? That's something only Title Douluo can condense into a soul core!" Du Busi frowned deeply.
"That's just a vortex," Xuan Zi retorted.
"Yet if that vortex develops, won't it become a soul core?" Du Busi muttered, eyes narrowing. "This brat… just what is he? Could he actually be a fierce beast from the Sun–Moon Empire, taking human form?"
While the podium buzzed with speculation, Jiang Shengyu's attacks on Beibei grew even more ferocious with the vortex empowering him.
"Third Soul Skill—Thunder's Wrath! Second Soul Skill—Heavenly Thunderbolt!"
