Last night passed without incident. It was likely that anyone attempting to infiltrate Shrek Academy was scared off by the personnel arranged by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and Emperor Xue Ye.

Today was the second round of the Soul Master Grand Competition, requiring a new draw to match opponents they hadn't encountered before.

Early in the morning, Xu Yunhan and the others set off for the Great Soul Fighting Arena.

"Xiao Wu, Rongrong, Zhuqing, Jiang Zhu!"

On the way, they encountered people from Heaven Water Academy, and Shui Yue'er happily ran over to greet them.

"What a coincidence, we met again."

Xiao Wu went to meet Shui Yue'er.

"Yes, what a coincidence."

Shui Yue'er's smile was cute, beautiful, and lively. "It means we're fated."

Ning Rongrong jokingly said, "If we draw each other today, then we're even more fated."

"Heh heh, you never know," Shui Yue'er said cheerfully.

After speaking, she glanced at Xu Yunhan. "Yun Han, are you going to participate today?"

Xu Yunhan looked at her. "Do you want me to?"

Shui Yue'er blinked her blue eyes and said, "Yes, I want to see your martial spirit and soul rings. Xiao Wu and the others wouldn't say, they just said I'd know when you participated."

Xiao Wu smiled but said nothing.

Xu Yunhan said, "I'll show myself sooner or later; I'm not afraid of others knowing. Since you want to know, then come watch our match."

Shui Yue'er said happily, "Are you participating? That's great!"

Xiao Wu teased, "When you encounter us, you'll be in trouble."

Shui Yue'er pouted. "What's the big deal? If we can't win, we can't win; it's not shameful. Who asked them to be such freaks, all monsters!"

Ning Rongrong said, "We are the Shrek Four Monsters!"

Not counting Oscar and Ma Hongjun, compared to Xu Yunhan and the other three, they weren't considered monsters.

The group chatted as they arrived at the Great Soul Fighting Arena.

Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, Salas, and others had already arrived.

This round, Emperor Xue Ye conducted the draw. With a wave of his hand, a pair of emblem tokens flew up and then descended in pairs.

The matches were set.

"It's Azure Vast Academy!"

The opponent for this round made Xu Yunhan and the others feel a bit like it was an old rivalry.

Shi Nian had only given Xu Yunhan his head and a soul bone yesterday.

Azure Vast Academy still had a teacher present. Although Shi Nian's disappearance had a considerable impact, it didn't stop them from continuing the competition.

Their match against Azure Vast Academy was in the afternoon.

They spent the morning watching the other matches; since they were already there.

Coincidentally, the first match of the morning was Heaven Water Academy's team, but their opponent was an ordinary academy team, so there wouldn't be any surprises.

"Please welcome Heaven Water Academy!"

"In this match, Heaven Water Academy's main and vice-captains have both entered the arena. Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, they are both Soul Sects..."

The host introduced the lineups of both competing teams.

"Both sisters actually entered the arena."

Xiao Wu was a little surprised because Heaven Water Academy's opponent didn't even have a Soul Sect.

"They probably want a quick victory," Jiang Zhu said from the side.

Xiao Wu smiled. "I think Shui Yue'er wants to show off their sisters' strength to us."

Ning Rongrong agreed. "Knowing Shui Yue'er's personality, it's not impossible."

They were indeed right; Shui Yue'er did want to show off.

Shui Bing'er's martial spirit was the Ice Phoenix, and Shui Yue'er's martial spirit was the Dolphin.

The Ice Phoenix martial spirit could control, defend, and attack.

The Dolphin martial spirit belonged to the sea soul beast category. On land, its effects couldn't reach their full potential; it was an agility-attack type martial spirit.

Both sisters were Soul Sects. Facing opponents without a Soul Sect, as everyone expected, Heaven Water Academy quickly won the match.

After the match, Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er directly went to Shrek Academy's team area.

"Xiao Wu, how did my sister and I perform?"

Shui Yue'er said proudly.

Xiao Wu said, "Amazing! And I think your Dolphin martial spirit is so cute!"

Shui Yue'er smiled. "Xiao Wu, your Soft Bone Rabbit martial spirit is also very cute."

Ning Rongrong said, "You two are both cute!"

The sisters stayed there until all the morning matches concluded before leaving.

They ate lunch at the Great Soul Fighting Arena.

In the afternoon.

Shrek Academy's match against Azure Vast Academy was the second match.

Facing Shrek Academy, which already had two Soul Kings, Azure Vast Academy surprisingly didn't surrender directly, which made people curious. Some also said they had backbone, wanting to fight even if they couldn't win.

Among the seven members of Azure Vast Academy's team, there was one Soul Sect, and the rest were Soul Grandmasters. Their soul rings were also standard.

"Xu Yunhan's martial spirit is the Three-Eyed White Flying Tiger?"

"Why is it so similar to the Evil Eye White Tiger?"

Some who had seen the Evil Eye White Tiger martial spirit felt that the two were quite alike when they saw Xu Yunhan's martial spirit.

"Xu Yunhan is actually a Soul Emperor!"

"My heavens, has a Soul Emperor never appeared in the history of the Soul Master Grand Competition? He's the first!"

"Even if Xu Yunhan is twenty-four years old, how many such Soul Emperors can be found on the Douluo Continent?"

Xu Yunhan's Soul Emperor realm shocked many, but some also felt it was nothing, as these people knew there were individuals whose talent was no less than Xu Yunhan's.

Qian Renxue's talent, Bibi Dong's talent, Tang San's talent... they were all monstrous existences, no less than Xu Yunhan's.

Of course, this was because they didn't know Xu Yunhan's exact age. Otherwise, they might have changed their minds.

"My talent might not even be as strong as Yun Han's," Crown Prince Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) thought to herself.

Xu Yunhan was eight or nine years younger than her.

At Xu Yunhan's age, Qian Renxue was only a Soul King, even though she had innate full soul power at level twenty.

Of course, cultivating quickly didn't necessarily mean one had the best talent.

Talent determined the ultimate height of one's cultivation.

"Holy crap, Xu Yunhan also has a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring, just like Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. How did they do it?"

"One is an exception, two is a coincidence, but three should indicate a pattern. I wonder if this method of absorbing soul rings beyond one's level can be popularized; it would certainly benefit Soul Masters across the continent!"

Xu Yunhan displayed his six soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black—astonishing the audience once again.

Their curiosity and desire for Xu Yunhan and his group's method of absorbing soul rings beyond their level grew even stronger.

"Sect Master Ning, is their method of absorbing soul rings beyond their level truly impossible to replicate?" Emperor Xue Ye was tempted again.

If this method were mastered by the Heaven Dou Empire, it would greatly enhance their strength.

Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Why would I lie to Your Majesty? It is indeed impossible to replicate. They encountered a special fortuitous opportunity. If Your Majesty insists on knowing, I will ask them and see if they can reveal it."

Emperor Xue Ye gave a sheepish smile. "Never mind. Since Sect Master Ning has said so, I believe it."

Bishop Salas glanced at Crown Prince Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue). He was very interested in the secrets of Xu Yunhan and his group. If he could obtain them and hand them over to Spirit Hall, it would surely be a great功劳.

However, Qian Renxue was protective and forbade Salas and Spirit Hall from making a move on Xu Yunhan and the others.

On the stage.

Strangely, although Azure Vast Academy was surprised by Xu Yunhan's strength, they showed no fear, and each of them appeared full of confidence.

Why were they so confident?

Xu Yunhan sensed something amiss and grew vigilant. Azure Vast Academy likely had some special means, unfazed by him, a Soul Emperor.
