"Gravitational Enhancement!"
Zhu Zhuqing expression changed slightly as she immediately recognized the new arrival.
It was Zhao Wuji, who possessed the Vigorous Vajra Bear martial soul!
Gravitational enhancement was his third soul skill.
"Your academy really has great power. If you can't win by sending the younger ones, you bring in the older ones?"
At the same time, as Zhu Zhuqing was feeling embarrassed, a voice rang out within Qianyu Academy.
Suddenly, the pressure acting on her vanished.
The next moment, an elderly figure appeared in the sky above Qianyu Academy.
His 76th-level soul power aura was undeniable.
"Principal Cai!"
"Principal Cai!"
The students of Qianyu Academy all respectfully bowed as they saw the visitor.
This person was none other than Cai Xu, the principal of Qianyu Academy, whom Qian Renxue and Li Yu had mentioned. He possessed the Nine Sun Sunflower martial soul.
"Your academy truly has great power. To have over a hundred students surround and beat one of my students, that's quite a show of strength!"
Flander's figure appeared.
Standing next to him was the towering Zhao Wuji.
"Principal, Vice Principal!"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar were both delighted.
They hadn't known that Flander and Zhao Wuji were secretly following them.
Seeing them now, their posture became upright, and they looked at the students of Qianyu Academy with an air of disdain.
They could feel the soul power level of Cai Xu, but now, with Principal Flander and Vice Principal Zhao Wuji, who were both Spirit Saints at levels 78 and 77 respectively, it was clear that a 76th-level Spirit Saint wouldn't be a match for them.
Cai Xu frowned.
He was, of course, aware that Blue Tyrant Academy had changed its name to Shrek Academy.
He also knew about the personnel changes within the academy.
The events at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Soul Battle Arena weren't secrets among people of their circle.
Therefore, he had heard about the shameless behavior of the Shrek Academy members.
When Dai Mubai and his group came to cause trouble, he hadn't stopped them.
First, he wanted to observe the strength of Dai Mubai and his team, and second, he hoped that Wang Changzhi and others could teach them a lesson.
Others didn't know, but as the principal responsible for the Academy renaming, Cai Xu knew that Xue Qinghe didn't like and even despised Shrek Academy. He, as a subordinate, was naturally willing to cause some trouble for them.
Although Qianyu Academy only had one Spirit Saint, with Xue Qinghe backing him, he felt confident enough to allow Dai Mubai group to make a scene.
But now, Zhao Wuji had come in and directly targeted his former student, Zhu Zhuqing. Flander had also abandoned the facts and accused Qianyu Academy of letting over a hundred students gang up on Dai Mubai and his team...
They really had no shame!
"Heh, I've long heard that the teachers and students of Shrek Academy have questionable morals, always reversing their words and using power to oppress others. I didn't believe it at first, but now, seeing it with my own eyes, I have to say… it truly opens my eyes!"
Cai Xu clapped his hands, laughing angrily.
"Hmph!"
Flander's face darkened as he coldly said, "I didn't expect that the Principal of Qianyu Academy, Cai Xu, would listen to rumors and slander us. You're just looking for an excuse to accuse us!"
"We're here simply to take back our student, Zhu Zhuqing, from Shrek. We aren't planning to hold you accountable for the fact that you, over a hundred students, surrounded and attacked my students. Shrek is weak, and that's our failure. We'll make up for it at the next Continental Elite Young Soul Master Tournament!"
"Today, they lost, and it will be a lesson for them!"
"But…"
Flander paused and his gaze turned sharp.
"You, Cai Xu, have the nerve to label us as such. This can't just end like this!"
"Heh."
Cai Xu smiled. "Label you? Those labels weren't you Shrek to take in the first place. How is it now my fault for giving you those labels?"
"Hmph! Enough talking, let's settle this with our fists!"
Seeing that he couldn't reason with Cai Xu, Flander's face grew even darker.
Without further ado, he released his Four-Eyed Cat Eagle martial soul, and seven soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—appeared.
His fourth soul ring flashed.
Ten extremely sharp air blades sliced through the air and shot toward Cai Xu.
The students of Qianyu Academy all gasped, glaring at the Shrek people.
Without any warning, they were already attacking!
This was Heaven Dou City!
Were the Shrek people really this unreasonable, acting like barbarians?
Cai Xu raised an eyebrow, a cold smile appearing on his face.
"Do you think just because I'm only at level 76, you can do whatever you want with me? Since you dare to strike, I'll play with you!"
As he finished speaking, a sunflower grew behind him, its stalk splitting into seven branches, each with a bloom.
The seven sunflowers arranged themselves in a triangular pattern behind him, and seven soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—rose.
"Golden Sun Shield!"
Once again, his fourth soul ring flashed. The second sunflower to his right detached from its stalk, glowing with brilliant golden light, which condensed into a sunflower-shaped golden shield that enveloped Cai Xu.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Flander's air blades were all blocked, causing ripples in the shield. Yet, the shield didn't show any signs of breaking.
Flander's face darkened. Wasn't Cai Xu supposed to be a Control-type Spirit Saint?
Why did he have such exceptional defensive capabilities?
Cai Xu didn't bother to explain. Instead, his fifth soul ring flashed.
"To not return a favor is improper. Now, let me show you the power of my Nine Sun Sunflower!"
The third sunflower on his left detached from its stalk.
Unlike before, this sunflower was now absorbing the surrounding heat and light!
Despite being a Nine Sun Sunflower, which was usually associated with heat, this sunflower made everyone feel a sudden chill.
And then, in the next moment, the sunflower collapsed inward, before quickly transforming into a narrow golden beam and shooting toward Flander.
"Solar… Slash!"
Cai Xu's voice rang out.
Flander's expression changed slightly as he felt an intense sense of danger from the so-called Solar Slash!
Just moments ago, it was defense, and now, the attack was just as powerful?
With no time to think, Flander's sixth soul ring shone, and a yellow light quickly spread from him, enveloping his body.
Even then, he still felt some unease.
Thus, his seventh soul ring glowed, and his Cat Eagle True Body manifested. His body turned into a blur as he attempted to dodge the Solar Slash.
But…
Seeing that Flander was releasing his martial soul true form, Cai Xu wasn't polite.
His seventh soul ring also flashed!
His form remained, but the five sunflowers behind him had undergone a shocking transformation.
They now resembled Fire suns, almost impossible to look at directly.
And the next moment…
The fourth and fifth sunflowers, which had already been used, suddenly regenerated. The five suns turned into seven, and the Golden Sun Shield and Solar Slash were still active.
"Martial Soul True Form, Seven Suns in the Sky!"
