At this moment, Lan Xi'er, in the eyes of the Shrek Academy group, was undoubtedly a terrifying demoness.
She brought immense pressure to those on the arena.
Especially Ma Hongjun, who was being beaten like a hanging pig...
Ma Hongjun wailed like a wild boar, his skin torn and flesh exposed, covered in blood.
Fortunately, the Evil Fire Phoenix had good regenerative abilities, otherwise, it was uncertain if he could even scream so loudly right now.
All he could do was howl; he didn't even have the chance to speak properly.
He was completely unheard by heaven and earth, and at this moment, he somewhat regretted provoking Lan Xi'er.
This kind of demoness was far more terrifying than Ning Rongrong, the little devil.
Their strength was also not on the same level at all.
He only hoped that this damn exchange competition would end quickly.
Or that he would just pass out.
"Fatty, hold on."
Lan Xi'er controlled a large number of Blue Silver vines to attack Ma Hongjun.
This also gave Dai Mubai an opportunity; the opponent's own defense had decreased.
He had no intention of saving anyone.
Or rather, he thought that defeating the opponent would save the person.
And currently, the best way to defeat the opponent was to get close, to engage in close combat.
With his Evil Eye White Tiger, he could resolve the opponent instantly in close quarters.
"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation."
Dai Mubai erupted with full power, his muscles swelled, and black stripes appeared on his skin.
Both his defense, speed, and strength significantly increased.
He truly resembled a giant white tiger, leaping and pouncing towards Lan Xi'er.
"Little girl, I'll make you regret underestimating me."
Fighting him, yet still seeking revenge on Ma Hongjun, she truly didn't put him in her eyes.
He knew that the opponent had clashed with Ma Hongjun near the city gate earlier.
But fighting him and still targeting Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai felt both fortunate and extremely annoyed.
His figure continuously changed positions, dodging the remaining Blue Silver vine attacks.
His sharp claws, imbued with soul power, stirred up a fierce wind as he lunged at Lan Xi'er.
"It's over!!"
A somewhat twisted smile of excitement appeared on his face, as if his chance for revenge was right here.
In Dai Mubai's view, bypassing the Blue Silver Grass and getting close meant he had won.
He just didn't notice that Lan Xi'er, facing him, had a calm expression, completely devoid of any worry.
She merely wanted to teach Ma Hongjun a lesson, but she wouldn't lose this battle for it.
"Where did you get the misconception that my close combat is poor?"
"This is a compulsory course at Blue Silver Academy, and I'm one of the top few in every class."
The sharp tiger claws were upon her, but facing the attack, Lan Xi'er remained calm.
She moved lightly, dodging, with Blue Silver vines assisting in interception around her.
Her movements were graceful and agile, like a dancing spirit.
She had considerable experience in close combat.
Dai Mubai's attacks repeatedly struck empty air or vines, causing no damage whatsoever.
"Ah ah ah.."
"Stop dodging."
Repeated setbacks made him even more exasperated, and his claws danced wildly.
His continuous claw attacks had lost all technique, becoming nothing but wild flailing.
It was as if he wanted to beat a master with random punches.
But very quickly, his body stiffened.
A pair of hands gripped his wrists.
He could feel a pair of small fists clenching, instantly erupting with surging soul power, a strength that was not inferior to his own at all.
A large amount of soul power condensed, making Lan Xi'er's hands as firm as steel bars.
She even gripped Dai Mubai's wrists so hard that they turned blue and bruised.
The next moment, the world spun, and Dai Mubai's body flew through the air.
From triumphant arrogance to ultimate madness, his expression didn't change much.
"Is that all?"
"The speed is good, but that's just a decent level."
"Your movements are flashy and easily predictable."
"There's one thing you said that's also true: it's time to end this."
A condescending voice slowly emerged.
"Brute Strength · Collapsing Fist."
Dai Mubai listened to the contemptuous voice as he flew, then felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
He hadn't even managed to use his defensive soul skill; he was thrown like a rag, flying directly out of the arena.
It turned out that when the opponent's explosive power was exhausted, Lan Xi'er directly grabbed Dai Mubai and flipped him over. Even while he was in mid-air, her right hand had already accumulated power, and a terrifying Collapsing Fist, condensed with a large amount of soul power, emitted a brilliant light.
It instantly struck Dai Mubai's chest, breaking his bones and damaging his internal organs.
The battle ended in just a few breaths of close combat.
Dai Mubai just hadn't expected that he would be the one to lose.
His last sight was of Lan Xi'er, who didn't even care about his defeat.
Her expression was indifferent, as if she had just defeated a stray dog by the roadside.
She walked towards the bound Ma Hongjun and delivered several punches, inflicting injuries no less severe than his own.
He was then thrown out of the arena...
Their treatment was far worse than that of Ning Rongrong and the other two who had been eliminated directly earlier.
Perhaps, a clean and swift escape at the very beginning was also good news.
Under various blows, Dai Mubai's eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.
Ma Hongjun soon followed, also losing consciousness.
The two became fellow sufferers, and in the end, they both seemed a little relieved.
It was finally over.
This academy exchange had truly traumatized him.
Of course, he wasn't the only one with trauma; besides Dai Mubai who was already off the stage, there were also Tang San and Xiao Wu still on the stage.
The two were being ganged up on by three people.
Tang San was initially very confident, intending to deal with them and then help Dai Mubai.
However, he quickly realized that these three people had very rich cooperation experience, and their continuous joint attacks didn't give him any chance to defeat them one by one.
Furthermore, they seemed to have already figured out that Xiao Wu was his weakness, continuously attacking Xiao Wu, which infuriated him, yet he could do nothing.
He could only persist, using the Tang Sect's unique skills and his combat experience from his previous life, helping Xiao Wu when he dodged.
But there are always times when one makes a mistake. When he was once again caught between the spear soul master and the iron shield soul master, another soul master found an opportunity and fiercely struck Xiao Wu's abdomen.
The sharp claws of the Pangolin soul master directly pierced through Xiao Wu's clothes and even her sternum, leaving a significant wound.
Normally, he certainly wouldn't have made such a brutal move, as it was only a soul master exchange after all.
But now, he was on a mission.
He couldn't kill, but he had to severely injure.
His goal was clear; he didn't hold back just because the opponent was a young girl.
"Ah."
Xiao Wu screamed, tears streaming down her face from the pain.
"Xiao Wu."
In an instant, Xiao Wu lost her combat ability, and this made Tang San's eyes turn bloodshot.
"You all deserve to die."
Tang San, who had been holding back his frustration for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing Xiao Wu severely injured in front of him like this, he disregarded everything else.
The hidden sleeve darts silently shot out, and he reached out to pull out other hidden weapons.
This person had harmed Xiao Wu, and thus had earned death.
His favorability towards Blue Silver Academy even dropped by several points.
He absolutely had to make the people here pay the price.
He didn't even care about exposing his secrets anymore.
