The Silver Dragon Martial Soul was a Dragon-type Martial Soul even more Advanced than the Bright Sacred Dragon of his teacher, the Dragon God Douluo Mu En.
The Sacred Angel Martial Soul was an even more legendary super Martial Soul; despite its tangled history with Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago, time had passed, and the Angel clan had long since vanished into history, making such a Genius naturally worthy of attention.
And Caelus made his heart stir even more.
With a time attribute and a humanoid Martial Soul, its rarity and potential even surpassed those of the Shrek City Lord, the Time Douluo Shi Xing, whose Martial Soul was the Space-Time Silver Disk.
"Hello, children."
Yan Shaozhe's voice was calm, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"I am Yan Shaozhe, the two hundred and sixty-first Dean of Shrek Academy."
Aside from a few, most of the students unconsciously straightened their backs upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's identity.
The Dean of Shrek Academy held a status revered enough to stand on equal footing with the monarchs of an Empire, and he himself was one of the Titled Douluo standing at the pinnacle of the continent.
Being presided over by him personally for the drawing of lots was an honor that made the young men and women unable to hide their excitement.
"I know you may have doubts in your hearts."
Yan Shaozhe smiled and said.
"By convention, the Vice Dean appearing would already be a sign of the importance placed on you, but this year is different; your performance has pleasantly surprised me, and can be called the best in nearly a hundred years, therefore, I came personally."
With just a few simple words, he pushed the atmosphere at the scene to a climax, and the eyes of the students were all burning with excitement.
It had to be said that this Dean Yan was truly skilled at stirring up emotions.
"freshman class six, Caelus's team, come forward to draw lots."
Caelus stepped out as instructed, walking with a calm gait to stand before Yan Shaozhe.
"Little one, this is our second meeting, isn't it?"
Yan Shaozhe looked at him with a gentle smile in his eyes.
"Yes, Dean Yan, you still remember me."
Caelus nodded slightly, his expression calm and unruffled.
"Naturally, it is hard to forget an outstanding junior like you."
A trace of imperceptible appreciation flashed in Yan Shaozhe's eyes.
To remain so calm and composed when facing a Titled Douluo, this Mind and nature was truly extraordinary.
The drawing process was quick.
Caelus drew the number one lot, and their opponents were none other than Dai Huabin's team, who held the number two lot.
The other two lucky teams were the team containing the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, and the team led by Cao Jinxuan from freshman class ten, who also possessed a time-type Martial Soul.
Upon learning that their opponent was Caelus, a blazing Battle Intent instantly erupted in Dai Huabin's eyes; he let out a heavy snort and walked confidently toward the arena first.
He had failed repeatedly in previous one-on-one matches, but today was different; this was a team battle.
The Martial Soul Fusion skill he shared with Zhu Lu—Hell White Tiger—was his strongest trump card and reliance.
He absolutely did not believe that he would lose this time.
Both sides stood facing each other from afar on the spacious arena; as the referee gave the order, Martial Soul light suddenly burst forth, and a strong Battle Intent instantly filled the entire venue, with the battle ready to erupt at any moment.
Just as everyone had expected, the battle presented a one-sided trend from the very beginning.
The absolute gap in Soul Power Rank and Martial Soul quality caused Dai Huabin's team to fall into a completely passive position.
Ye Guyi bore the Sacred Angel Martial Soul, which had an Innate attribute suppression over the Hell Civet; the Holy Light was scorching and the sword Aura was brilliant, forcing Zhu Lu to constantly dodge relying on her speed, repeatedly finding herself in precarious situations.
On the other side, Gu Yuena did not even move her feet, only elegantly raising her finger to point, and rock cages suddenly rose from the ground, while fireballs and ice cones intertwined and shot through the air, completely drowning the Charm and control-type Spirit Ability of the nine-tailed fox Soul Master Cui Yajie in a violent elemental storm, leaving her in a wretched state.
The true focus was on the duel between Caelus and Dai Huabin.
Dai Huabin roared, his muscles knotted under the White Tiger Vajra Transformation state, and he pounced toward Caelus with a fierce Aura, his tiger claws tearing through the air and emitting a sharp whistling sound.
"Second Spirit Skill: The Other Self."
Dai Huabin swung his claw with certainty of victory, only to find that his tiger claw seemed to have passed through a phantom; at that moment, Caelus's body became blurred, as if existing in another displaced time phase, and all physical attacks passed through in vain, unable to touch him in the slightest.
With the attack missing, just as Dai Huabin's old strength faded and new strength had not yet arisen, Caelus's figure quietly solidified.
"Vortex Shackles."
Caelus tapped his finger lightly, and at the joints of Dai Huabin's limbs, the air suddenly twisted; several pairs of transparent air vortices rotating in opposite directions formed instantly, like invisible shackles, locking tightly.
Dai Huabin felt his whole body sink, as if falling into thick glue; every movement became incredibly difficult, and the huge rotational resistance and chaotic pulling force made it almost impossible for his prideful White Tiger power to function smoothly, causing his movements to instantly deform and lag.
"Damn it."
Dai Huabin roared, his Soul Power exploding as he attempted to forcibly shatter this bizarre restraint.
But Caelus would not give him the chance.
"Super-Pressure Air Blade."
At the edge of his palm, highly compressed Soul Power formed a sharp airflow layer as thin as a cicada's wing, and with a shrill whistle, Caelus's hand blade fiercely slashed toward the opening Dai Huabin revealed due to being restrained.
In the moment of crisis, Dai Huabin relied on his battle instinct to barely turn his body; the Super-Pressure Air Blade grazed his chest, leaving a burning bloodstain, and the extremely sharp cutting sensation made his scalp tingle.
"Third Martial Soul Skill: Empty Dream Shadow Flit."
Giving Dai Huabin absolutely no chance to catch his breath, Caelus's figure disappeared without warning, and the next moment, he had appeared in another blind spot of his defense, with another Super-Pressure Air Blade striking.
In just a few breaths of fighting, Dai Huabin was already covered in wounds, completely suppressed.
His prideful strength and speed appeared so clumsy and powerless before Caelus's strange and unpredictable time abilities.
"I cannot let it go on like this."
Dai Huabin roared in his heart, his gaze suddenly turning to Zhu Lu, who was also in critical danger.
"Zhu Lu."
He let out a roar and rushed toward Zhu Lu regardless of anything else.
Zhu Lu also understood, risking taking a Holy Light slash from Ye Guyi head-on, and pounced toward Dai Huabin with blood spilling from her mouth.
The two embraced in mid-air, and black and white light suddenly erupted from within their bodies, like a huge cocoon of light, swallowing them both.
Terrifying Soul Power fluctuations swept across the entire arena like a storm, causing even the defensive light barrier around the arena to ripple violently.
"Hell White Tiger."
In the viewing stands, Yan Shaozhe, Director, and all the knowledgeable teachers instantly sat up straight, their gazes solemn.
Hell White Tiger, this legendary Martial Soul Fusion skill, one of the iconic powers of the first generation Shrek Seven Devils, had actually appeared among this year's freshmen.
As the black and white light receded, a giant tiger with a massive body, completely transparent, and exuding a terrifyingly fierce Aura condensed and formed; it looked up to the sky and let out a silent roar, its cold killing intent locking onto Caelus, and then it fiercely pounced forward with the momentum to crush everything.
