While the three were fighting, Zhu Zhuqing didn't stay idle either. Seeing the armored giant charging toward Tang San and Xiao Wu, the two yellow Soul Rings attached to her lit up at the same time. Her blue-green eyes suddenly narrowed vertically like a cat's. Without a sound, she accelerated forward, body springing up into the air, curling mid-air under the wrap of Soul Power, spinning rapidly toward the armored giant.
Within her spinning figure, claw shadows flashed everywhere — it was her second Soul Skill, Nether Hundred Claws. Relying on rapid body rotation and the sharp, penetrating power of her cat claws, she unleashed over a hundred strikes on the same spot in an instant. The destructive power was terrifying.
Just as Xiao Wu's kick landed on the armored giant, Zhu Zhuqing's Nether Hundred Claws struck its back at the exact same moment. The spinning claw strikes shredded like a rapidly rotating saw blade, slicing at its back.
"Useless!"
Yunchuan finally seemed to show a bit of seriousness. Soul Power surged in his body, and the armored giant's legs suddenly stomped hard. A terrifying surge of radiant blue Soul Power burst outward!
A violent blue explosion erupted instantly. Zhu Zhuqing was sent flying, letting out a muffled groan mid-air.
Dai Mubai rushed forward, ready to catch her as she fell — but suddenly the ground beneath her cracked open. Several Blue Silver Grass vines burst up, weaving into a net to safely catch Zhu Zhuqing, preventing her from hitting the ground and suffering further injury.
Dai Mubai checked her condition. Zhu Zhuqing had fainted from the shock and loss of breath, but thankfully she wasn't seriously hurt.
Xiao Wu wasn't spared either. Right after her kick, Blue Silver Grass had just lifted her when the Soul Power shockwave exploded. All Blue Silver Grass within three meters of the armored giant — touching or not — was forcefully rebounded, the close ones snapping apart instantly!
Three muffled groans sounded simultaneously. Xiao Wu was the worst off.
The violent impact made Xiao Wu spit out blood mid-air, her body going numb as she collapsed into Tang San's arms, carried by the Blue Silver Grass.
Tang San wasn't injured as badly — only his internal organs burned from the recoil — but seeing Xiao Wu hurt instantly shattered his calm.
Yunchuan hadn't even used a Soul Skill — just released his Soul Power to form a shockwave. Yet with Soul Sage-level Soul Power, even that simple technique was devastating to them, instantly breaking their combined attack.
This was strength — the true strength of a Soul Sage!
If he fought personally, the result was obvious.
In the blink of an eye, three of the four had been blasted back. Ning Rongrong panicked — the incense stick was only halfway burnt. But her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda only provided buffs, not healing. With only two Soul Rings, there was nothing more she could do.
Controlling the armored giant, Yunchuan strode forward, smashing straight toward Tang San. Without hesitation, it raised its massive right hand and slapped down toward him.
A casual strike from the armored giant — equivalent to a Soul Sage — carried overwhelming force.
Xiao Wu was still in Tang San's arms. The protective-wife maniac Tang San would never let her take the blow for him. He hurriedly pulled her aside — but that brief action cost him his chance to dodge.
At that moment, Xiao Wu's second Soul Ring lit up. Her eyes turned blood-red, staring straight into the armored giant's glowing blue eyes — she knew those eyes were linked to Yunchuan's vision. Targeting them was equivalent to targeting him directly.
Her red eyes met the giant's blue ones, and she instantly fainted in Tang San's arms without even a groan, blood leaking from her lips and nose.
"Heh, who gave you the courage to use a mental-type Soul Skill against a Soul Sage?" the armored giant mocked, but its palm did stop.
Tang San seized the opening, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to retreat out of attack range.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu!" Tang San shouted anxiously, pouring Xuantian Strength into her — but she didn't respond.
The armored giant didn't chase. "She's fine. Charm-type Soul Skill, but her Soul Power is too weak compared to mine. She suffered backlash. She'll wake up soon."
Holding the unconscious, blood-stained Xiao Wu, Tang San slowly lifted his head — expression emotionless, like a soulless puppet. Holding Xiao Wu, he turned to Ning Rongrong. "Please help me take care of Xiao Wu."
Ning Rongrong blinked, then withdrew her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and took Xiao Wu. Even as a support-type, she had Soul Power and could carry Xiao Wu easily.
After handing Xiao Wu over, Tang San walked toward the armored giant.
Yunchuan understood — this was the wife-protector Tang San going berserk. He had been waiting for this moment.
The armored giant's eyes flashed. "What, you want to continue? You can't imagine a Soul Sage's power. Even a simple Soul Power burst nearly crushed you."
Tang San shook his head. "I'm not asking to continue the exam."
"So you're admitting defeat?"
Tang San shook his head again. "No. I want a real fight. Start over. Please light another incense. If I endure a full stick of incense, allow all four of us to enter Shrek Academy."
"Oh? So you're doing this for that girl?" Yunchuan spoke playfully. Then calmly, "Tang San, by Shrek's standards, you've already passed. The incense hasn't finished, but your performance met the requirements. You all passed."
"We passed?" Ning Rongrong blinked. Zhu Zhuqing, who had just awoken weakly, also looked stunned.
"Even so, I want to fight you again — seriously. If I lose, I'll voluntarily withdraw from school!"
"Fine, since you want a beating, I'll grant it."
Yunchuan laughed. First time seeing someone voluntarily asking to be beaten. Did Tang San really think his little hidden weapons could harm a Soul Sage? This girl really was his soft spot — once she got hurt, his IQ plummeted. Truly speechless.
"But even if you lose, no need to quit. You all passed already. This next fight is just me, as a teacher, giving lesson to new students."
After all, if Tang San didn't stay in Shrek, the plot would go off-track — terrible for someone who knew the original story.
Thus — another battle began.
Tang San stood firmly, gathering power. He no longer held back. Xiao Wu's injury triggered rage and guilt — as her brother, if he couldn't seek justice for her, he didn't deserve that title.
If Yunchuan knew his thoughts, he'd scream: Fairness my foot! She fainted from her own mental backlash! Proper head-on battle! Why act like I cheated?! Just say you want revenge — don't dress it up in noble excuses. Hypocrite!
Tang San recalled the Xuan Tian Record: Never pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger — or you'll really become a pig.
Now he understood. If their opponent wasn't a teacher but an enemy, Xiao Wu would be doomed.
And his true trump cards hadn't even been used yet!
He would no longer hide. He wanted to test his strength against the youngest Soul Sage on the continent.
Without Ning Rongrong's buffs, he felt slightly heavy. His arms trembled slightly as he adjusted. His hands turned jade-white, faint air currents flowing between his fingers. His head lowered slightly, hiding his now completely purple eyes...
