"Is this kid crazy? Does he plan to deal with the four members of the Frenzied Team alone?!"
"Even though there are members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan backing him, taking on four people by himself is pure lunacy!"
"I want to see what spirit this kid has to dare be so arrogant!"
...
In the spectator stands, after seeing Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing retreat, leaving only Yu Chen standing on the stage alone, discussions broke out one after another.
Although Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had displayed outstanding talent, no one believed that Yu Chen could defeat four opponents by himself!
"Do you think Xiao Chen will finally reveal his spirit in this battle?"
Flender, the headmaster of Shrek Academy, smiled as he looked at Yu Chen standing calmly on the competition stage.
"It should be. The opponents' spirits are quite decent. Although Xiao Chen's strength surpasses them significantly, it would still be difficult to win without using his spirit."
Yu Xiaogang's eyes stayed fixed on Yu Chen, a rare smile appearing on his face.
The spectators were unaware of the terror that was Yu Chen's true strength, but Yu Xiaogang and the others knew very well!
"I hadn't heard much about your Shrek Academy before, but I didn't expect every member to be so strong!"
"However, even so, you alone can't break through the defense of the four of us. This match is ours!"
Liu Xi of the Frenzied Team, wiping the blood from his lips after taking a hit from Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, looked at Yu Chen with a grim expression.
Even though they were astonished by Yu Chen's strength, they were still confident of victory!
"Is that so?"
Yu Chen chuckled lightly upon hearing this. His spirit power surged wildly, and his aura expanded sharply!
After completing the system selection options, Yu Chen's spirit power had risen by one rank — from the twenty-fourth to the twenty-fifth level!
Spirit Power—Level 25!
"..."
"..."
"Twelve years old… and already at Level 25 Spirit Power?!"
The spectators and the Frenzied Team felt the fluctuations of Yu Chen's spirit power, and all were stunned, jaws hanging in disbelief!
At twelve years old, reaching the twenty-fifth level — such monstrous talent was unprecedented across the entire Heaven Dou Empire!
Liu Xi, considered a genius at the Frenzied Academy, had only reached the seventeenth level at the age of fifteen. Compared to Yu Chen, it was like heaven and earth!
The difference wasn't even within the same realm of talent!
"In just a few days, Xiao Chen's spirit power rose to Level 25… truly a monster among monsters!"
Yu Xiaogang and Flender, sensing the energy Yu Chen emitted, both showed expressions of shock despite being mentally prepared.
"What kind of monster is this..."
Liu Xi, feeling Yu Chen's terrifying spirit power, trembled uncontrollably.
Not only Liu Xi, but every member of the Frenzied Team was also visibly shaking under Yu Chen's immense spirit power!
They never imagined that Yu Chen's spirit power would be this overwhelming!
"It's over."
While everyone was still stunned, Yu Chen's eyes reflected countless dragon shadows, and the spirit power swirling around his body resembled roaming dragons!
Ang!
Ang!
Raising his right hand lightly, over a dozen golden dragons roared and shot out from his palm!
The number was precise — eighteen!
[Dragon Eighteen Palms – Perfected Realm!]
Boom!
Eighteen golden dragons coiled around Yu Chen's figure, exuding an unparalleled aura of the true dragon!
"Go!"
Yu Chen pointed his finger at Liu Xi, and the eighteen golden dragons roared as they rushed forward like an unstoppable tide!
"Block—block it!"
"If we can withstand it, we'll definitely win!"
Faced with the oncoming golden dragons, Liu Xi and the others turned pale, activating their spirit rings to their limit to try and resist Yu Chen's attack.
However, Yu Chen's strength was not something they could withstand!
Boom!!
Accompanied by a deafening crash, Liu Xi's defensive formation was shattered instantly. The four members were overwhelmed by the golden dragons, vomiting blood, and were flung heavily off the stage!
With just one move, he completely crushed the Frenzied Team!
"Too...too strong!"
"And he still hasn't even released his martial spirit! How can a twelve-year-old possess such terrifying strength?!"
"I lost again! How could this kid be so abnormal!"
...
The spectators were in a complete uproar, their faces full of disbelief, and many found their voices trembling uncontrollably.
Those who had bet heavily on the Frenzied Team pounded their chests in regret. Some who lost their entire fortune even fainted from shock.
"Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen didn't even have to summon his Martial Spirit."
"And his attack methods have evolved again! Originally, he could only summon four golden dragons, but now he can summon eighteen in one go!"
"At this rate, as Xiao Chen's strength continues to grow, the power of this move will become even more terrifying."
Yu Xiaogang and the others couldn't hide their amazement as they watched Yu Chen's dazzling performance, smiling proudly.
"Shrek Academy wins!"
The host's booming announcement echoed across the Arena of Souls, and Yu Chen calmly descended from the competition stage, rejoining Xiao Wu and the others.
"Brother Chen, you're too strong! You didn't even need us — you soloed an entire team!"
"Exactly! Brother Chen, with your talent, whenever you visit our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, my father would definitely welcome you personally!"
As Yu Chen walked down, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others gathered around him excitedly, showering him with praise.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu also clung closely to Yu Chen, their faces full of admiration.
Even Zhu Zhuqing, who usually maintained a cold demeanor, looked at Yu Chen with rare warmth in her eyes.
Yu Chen smiled slightly and shook his head, not saying much in response.
"Xiao Chen, even among the recorded talents in ancient texts, no one has been as monstrous as you!"
Flender and Zhao Wuji approached, also smiling with pride as they praised Yu Chen sincerely.
Brush!
At this moment, another announcement sounded across the Arena of Souls.
"For the next match, the Second Team of Shrek Academy will face off against Team Fengtian!"
Clearly, it was time for Dai Mubai's squad to take the stage!
"Let's go!"
"Brother Chen, wait for our good news!"
With a few cheerful shouts, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun waved at Yu Chen and Yu Xiaogang before heading to the stage.
Their opponents were a team from an intermediate academy near Soto City.
With Dai Mubai, Tang San, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun's balanced lineup — melee, control, support, and firepower — and their spirit powers far surpassing the opposition, the match was decided almost instantly.
"What kind of monsters does Shrek Academy even nurture?!"
"Every single one of them is terrifyingly strong! Why had we never heard of such a school before?"
"Especially that youngest boy! We haven't even seen him use his spirit or spirit rings!"
...
Yu Chen and the Shrek Academy team's overwhelming strength sent the entire Arena of Souls into a frenzy!
At this moment, the names "Shrek Academy" and "Nine Heavens Azure Dragon – Yu Chen" resounded throughout the venue!
