Chapter 68 Running in both directions
Shrek Academy, Fighting Spirit Arena.

In the spacious venue, two figures stood facing each other in the distance, one black and one white. They looked particularly dazzling in this light gray venue.

Glancing at Dai Huabin, Xiao Yan slowly grasped the handle of the ruler behind him and pulled it hard. The Xuanzhong ruler brought up a gust of oppressive wind and pointed it obliquely at the ground. The strong wind from the ruler blew up the dust on the ground, and a faint yellow fighting spirit lingered on its surface.

"Hehe, now we're going to have something interesting to watch. I heard that Dai Huabin kept saying that he was defeated by Xiao Yan last time because Dean Yan intervened to stop him. Otherwise, his martial soul fusion skill, Netherworld White Tiger, would not have lost. I wonder who will be the real winner between the two of them today."

"I think Xiao Yan was lucky to win last time. His first spirit ring is only a ten-year spirit ring. How could he be a match for the three-ring spirit master Dai Huabin?"

"Well, what you said makes sense...but I won last time."

"I think he was just lucky, just a fluke..."

On the viewing platform, Xiao Xiao frowned slightly, glanced at Wang Dong beside him, and murmured: "Wang Dong, who do you think will win between the two of them?"

"I have fought with Xiao Yan several times. Although his first spirit ring is only ten years old, his true strength is very strange. I am more optimistic about him. Although Dai Huabin is strong, I don't think he is Xiao Yan's opponent."

Looking at the two people facing each other in the field, a lot of whispers suddenly sounded in the crowded stands around them. Almost all the freshmen knew these two people who had fought fiercely in the freshman assessment finals.

Xiao Yan remained indifferent to the whispers around him, some positive and some negative. In his dark pupils, murderous intent emerged uncontrollably, and his eyes were faintly bloodshot.

Staring at Xiao Yan coldly, Dai Huabin felt as if cold water was poured on his face when he saw him take out the giant black ruler again. His body trembled slightly, and three dazzling soul rings, two yellow and one purple, circled up from under his feet. His martial soul possession was completed in an instant. His body suddenly swelled, and as his ten fingers flicked, dagger-like claws shot out.

Although there was a little fear deep in his heart, at this moment, Dai Huabin had no choice but to go on the field. As long as he defeated Xiao Yan today, he would be able to regain the glory he had lost.

"Damn it, I must defeat this trash this time, at any cost." Dai Huabin gritted his teeth, his eyes became much colder, and his hand unconsciously touched his arms, where there was a light red pill.

This light red pill was exactly the soul-enhancing pill that Dai Huabin had purchased from the Shrek City auction house not long ago. He would never have imagined that the person who had refined this pill was standing right in front of him.

The Soul Enhancement Pill can allow a soul master with a soul power below level 50 to increase his soul power by ten levels in a very short period of time, but it also has some side effects.

This pill is the reason why Dai Huabin dares to challenge Xiao Yan again.

Glancing at Dai Huabin, whose expression was changing constantly, Xiao Yan slowly raised his head and then set his gaze on Wang Yan who was not far away.

Sensing Xiao Yan's gaze, Wang Yan spread his hands out and made a virtual pressing motion. Suddenly, the noise around him weakened a bit. Looking around, Wang Yan said without further ado, "Let's get started."

As Wang Yan finished speaking, Xiao Yan and Dai Huabin looked up at the same time. Their eyes met and sparks flew, each of them holding a cold murderous intent.

"laugh!"

The next second, the two of them shot out like arrows almost at the same time, and their speed was so fast that many people outside the field could only see two blurry shadows.

Dai Huabin slapped his tiger paw forward, and a fierce gust of wind suddenly emerged in front of Xiao Yan, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking wind.

Facing Dai Huabin's fierce attack, Xiao Yan did not choose to retreat or dodge. Instead, he took a step forward and smashed the heavy ruler in his hand towards him with great strength.

"clang!"

The crisp sound of metal clashing spread out from the place where the two men were fighting, and along with the sound waves, a circle of fierce energy ripples also surged out from the collision point of the black ruler and the tiger's palm.

Suddenly, a crack appeared on the surrounding floor.

Holding the Xuan Zhong ruler tightly, Xiao Yan only retreated half a step after the fierce collision, while Dai Huabin retreated several steps before slowly stabilizing his body.

"With your little strength, you dare to act arrogantly in front of me?" Stepping back, Xiao Yan looked at Dai Huabin who had retreated several steps, curled his lips, and said with disdain: "I want to see how long you can withstand my attack?"

As Xiao Yan finished his words, he stomped his foot hard on the ground, and his body shot out again like a sharp arrow. The huge black ruler in his hand swung towards Dai Huabin again, bringing up an extremely oppressive wind sound.

"The first soul skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

Seeing this, Dai Huabin roared like a tiger, and the first soul ring on his body lit up. A white light emerged from his body and then turned into a light shield that enveloped his entire body, especially his head.

"boom!"

The Xuanzhong ruler landed on the White Tiger protective barrier, and suddenly there was a loud roar. Then, Dai Huabin half-crouched and protected his head with a pair of tiger paws, trying to make the area of ​​force as small as possible.

However, the explosive power generated by Xiao Yan's attack just now was beyond Dai Huabin's expectations. It was so powerful that Dai Huabin could hardly bear it in an instant. With a click, his White Tiger protective barrier quickly shattered and dissipated.

"The third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Dai Huabin made a prompt decision. The third purple soul ring on his body lit up, flashing a rich purple light.
The next second, the air around Dai Huabin's body began to distort. His body, which had become strong due to the possession of the White Tiger Martial Spirit, actually expanded again. His muscles bulged exaggeratedly, and his upper clothes were completely torn, revealing clear muscle contours. The whole person became extremely huge.

At the same time, Dai Huabin's tiger paw also became much larger. The sharp blade that popped out of it turned into bright silver under the blessing of the White Tiger Vajra Transformation. His whole body was shrouded in a layer of golden light, and his eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light.

"White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!" With a low roar, a strong golden light burst out from Dai Huabin's body. His second soul ring lit up, and then he suddenly opened his mouth, and a white energy ray shot out from it.

Looking at the white energy light that was so close, Xiao Yan's face suddenly changed slightly. In order to prevent himself from being hit by the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, he lightly stepped on the ground, blocked the Xuan Zhong Chi in front of his chest, and quickly retreated to the rear with a flash of his body.

"laugh!"

The white light suddenly surged and finally hit the Xuan Zhong ruler hard.

"Oh!"

When the two collided, a huge noise erupted, and a visible energy ripple quickly spread from the collision point, and the hard floor around it continued to spread with spider-web-like cracks.

Looking at the fierce collision in the field, the people in the stands around the Fighting Spirit Arena couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Judging from the current confrontation between the two, although Xiao Yan had a slight advantage, he did not have much advantage.

But no matter what, a first-ring soul master whose first soul ring is only ten years old can force a three-ring soul master to such a point. This kind of achievement really makes some senior students feel ashamed.

As the battle in the field became more intense, the noise in the surrounding stands gradually became quieter, and many people watched the two people fighting in the field with sweat in their palms. At this time, both sides would not hold back, after all, whoever lost would be too ashamed to stay in Shrek Academy.

"If we keep fighting like this, I'm afraid I'll lose again when the time for the White Tiger King Kong transformation ends..." A sinister light flashed in Dai Huabin's pupils. He gradually became a little impatient and thought to himself, "Zhu Lu, you stupid woman, why did you help me make such an agreement with Xiao Yan?"

"Damn it, if I lose, I'll take my anger out on you when I get back. How could the Zhu family give birth to a fool like you?"

Dai Huabin originally wanted to ask Xiao Yan to meet outside the academy and then let his family members take action against him. But now, he has been embarrassed by Wang Yan and Zhu Lu. Even if he uses his full strength, he is probably no match for Xiao Yan.

"No matter what, we can't lose today. It seems I can only use the things I bought from the auction." This thought flashed through his mind again, and Dai Huabin's face suddenly became much more ferocious. He reached his right hand into his arms, and a light red pill slipped into his palm, and then he quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

As the pill entered his mouth, Dai Huabin's face instantly turned a strange purple-red, and a low roar came from his throat. Then, the soul power in his body surged rapidly as if out of control. In the blink of an eye, his soul power level soared from level 31 to about level 40. "Go to hell!" After taking the pill, Dai Huabin grinned, a hideous look appeared on his face, and he stomped his feet hard on the ground, and rushed out violently, and the floor was instantly shattered where he stepped.

In an instant, Dai Huabin came in front of Xiao Yan, and saw him swinging his tiger claws heavily forward. As his arms swung out, a circle of fierce white energy ripples also surged out along his arms.

"clang!"

The tiger's palm slammed heavily on Xiao Yan's black ruler. With the help of the elixir, Dai Huabin's soul power of level 40 burst out without reservation at this moment. Immediately, in full view of everyone, the Xuanzhong ruler flew out of Xiao Yan's palm with a whoosh, and finally spun several times in the air and slanted into the ground outside the fighting arena.

.........

Seeing Xiao Yan's heavy ruler slip out of his hand, there was an uproar in the surrounding stands. Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu could not help but clench their fists, their faces full of tension.

"Hahaha, Hua Bin won, Hua Bin won. I knew that Xiao Yan's first spirit ring is only ten years old, how could he be Hua Bin's opponent." When Xiao Yan's heavy ruler left his hand, Zhu Lu, who was not far away, immediately let out a disdainful sigh and a mocking laugh, which echoed in the fighting spirit arena.

"Xiao Yan, remember to kneel down and call Hua Bin Grandpa later!"

On the other side, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao could only sigh sadly after seeing this scene, with a hint of disappointment flashing across their faces.

The sudden change made Wang Yan stunned. As he looked at Dai Huabin, whose strength had skyrocketed, his face changed slightly and he said, "Not good. It seems that Dai Huabin has taken some kind of elixir that can increase his strength in a short period of time."

"This bastard, he takes drugs when he can't beat me, what kind of ability is that?" Upon hearing this, Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu scolded at the same time.

“Hahaha.” After forcibly raising his soul power level to level 40, Dai Huabin saw that his full-strength attack had knocked Xiao Yan’s weapon off in an instant. For a moment, he thought victory was within reach, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter, saying, “Without your weapon, what are you going to use to fight me next? Isn’t this your reliance?”

The reason why Dai Huabin dared to duel with Xiao Yan in the Soul Fighting Arena was that he also had certain trump cards. The Soul-Enhancing Pill bought from the auction was his trump card. The Soul-Enhancing Pill could increase his soul power level by ten levels in a short period of time.

"Oh? Is that so?" As the heavy ruler left his hand, Xiao Yan's brows slightly frowned. He ignored the smug Dai Huabin in the middle of the field, casually glanced at the black ruler outside the field, and slightly twisted his body.

The next second, a powerful fighting spirit as mighty as a flood surged rapidly in Xiao Yan's body. At this moment, the corners of his mouth revealed a strange smile that made Dai Huabin's face change drastically.

"Oh!"

He slowly raised his foot, then stepped down suddenly. Accompanied by a violent energy explosion, Xiao Yan's figure suddenly turned into a thin ray of light. In almost the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Dai Huabin.

Looking at Xiao Yan, whose speed increased rapidly in an instant, Dai Huabin's expression suddenly changed, his pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at the black light that was gradually growing in his evil eyes, cursing in a rage:

"What? How come this guy's speed suddenly became so fast?"

No one knew that Xiao Yan, who had just been freed from the Xuan Zhong Ruler, was in a state where his true fighting power had fully exploded. For others, losing the weapon might be a fatal blow, but for Xiao Yan, it helped him break free from the restraints.

Xiao Yan holding the Xuan Zhong Ruler was not scary until he used the Earth Grade Fighting Skill Flame Devouring Wave Ruler. It was Xiao Yan with his bare hands that was a real killing machine.

"Baji collapse!"

"Oh!"

Along with a low muffled sound, Xiao Yan's fist smashed hard into Dai Huabin's chest. As the ripples of energy spread, there was a faint sound of bones cracking.

With a "puff", a mouthful of bright red blood spurted out of Dai Huabin's mouth, splashing all over Xiao Yan's face. At this moment, his body suddenly flew backwards, and finally hit the ground heavily, splashing a lot of dust, and he lost consciousness.

Looking at this scene, the students who originally supported Dai Huabin felt like ducks with their necks pinched. Hoarse sounds of disbelief came out of their throats, and they no longer laughed wildly as before.

"Hua Bin...he lost again? How is this possible?" Zhu Lu's face was full of disbelief as she watched the scene in front of her. Could it be that Xiao Yan really won last time?
Compared with Zhu Lu and his group, those students who had supported Xiao Yan from the beginning also cheered at this moment. They originally thought that Xiao Yan, who had lost the black ruler, would gradually fall into a disadvantage, but they did not expect that he would turn the situation around in an instant and beat Dai Huabin, who took elixirs to forcibly increase his strength, to a pulp.

It felt so good, so good that everyone suddenly felt that they had made the right bet.

"Hmph, remember to make your man kneel down and call me grandpa." At this moment, Lan Susu was merciless. She directly returned the ridicule and laughter to Zhu Lu, which immediately made the latter so angry that her face turned blue.

"You..." Zhu Lu's face looked a little ugly. She wanted to get angry, but she didn't dare.

.........

After rolling awkwardly on the ground, Dai Huabin slowly stood up. When he heard laughter from the surrounding stands, he began to pant heavily and his face turned pale and blue.

"I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so well hidden." His face returned to its previous gloomy state. Dai Huabin looked at Xiao Yan with cold eyes and said sinisterly, "Although you beat me just now, I still don't accept it. If you have the guts, come out of the academy and fight me again tonight."

Dai Huabin said this in a very low voice, and only he and Xiao Yan could hear it clearly.

Dai Huabin was determined to lure Xiao Yan out, but he didn't know that Xiao Yan was also thinking about how to lure him out of Shrek Academy. The two of them were now "running in both directions", both wanting to lure the other out of Shrek Academy and kill him.

"Oh? Tonight? Okay, that's what I was thinking." Xiao Yan tilted his head slightly, smiled sarcastically, and said lightly: "I'll wait for you at East Street outside the academy at 8 o'clock tonight. However, you have to complete the bet first."

Hearing this, Dai Huabin couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He didn't expect Xiao Yan to agree so easily. While secretly cursing the latter for being a fool, a strange smile of success suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"If I remember correctly, the bet between us is that whoever loses will leave the freshman class and kneel down in front of the other person, calling him grandpa and yelling three times that I am a waste! Now that you have lost, you have to fulfill the bet first."

"Fulfill the bet!?" These few words hit Dai Huabin's heart like a heavy hammer, and his cold and hard face turned pale in an instant.

No matter how Dai Huabin shouted out "impossibility" in his heart and wanted to go back on his word, the facts were ultimately before him, and in front of so many people. Moreover, Wang Yan was present when the bet was made, so he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.

"Pfft."

Another mouthful of bright red blood spurted out of Dai Huabin's mouth. He felt a stuffy feeling in his chest and his whole face turned red in an instant.

Dai Huabin's chest was heaving violently, and his eyes were bloodshot as he stared viciously at the black-robed young man standing in front of him. The next second, he suddenly fell to his knees and shouted, "Grandpa! I'm a waste, I'm a waste, I'm a waste!" As he spoke, he kowtowed to the ground.

"Huabin?" Zhu Lu, who was not far away, exclaimed when seeing the scene in front of her. She quickly ran over and wanted to support Dai Huabin, but was ruthlessly pushed away by the latter. Then, Dai Huabin stood up and turned away.

The hatred in Zhu Lu's eyes was no less than Dai Huabin's. The one who was insulted was her future man! She raised her trembling hand and pointed at Xiao Yan: "You wait, you wait..."

Watching Dai Huabin's departing back, Xiao Yan's eyes dulled for a moment, his nose felt a little sour, and the murderous intent in his eyes rarely faded a bit. He said to himself, "Mom, did you see that? This is just the beginning. Tonight, I will definitely pay you back for all the suffering you endured when you were alive."
