Three claws shattered Ye Xinglan, the pre-selected inner court disciple of Shrek Academy.

Although he hurled a lot of trash talk at Ye Xinglan, Gu Lie had to be 1000% focused when facing this girl who had already begun to step into the realm of man and sword as one, as well as the five Shrek Academy students behind her who had no martial ethics.

Deep blue scales covered his entire body almost instantly, and his unique dragon aura locked onto Ye Xinglan and the Star God Sword in her hand.

As soon as Ye Xinglan entered the state of oneness with the sword, she felt the oppressive aura of Gu Lie locking onto her, and her movements paused for a moment.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

How could the Spirit Pagoda, a young master who only knows how to take shortcuts, be able to target me, who has only just entered the realm of man and sword as one after half a year of hard training?

Ye Xinglan gritted her teeth, determined to beat this person who annoyed her so much into kneeling and force him to go to Shrek Academy with her...

Facing the ancient hunter charging towards him, Ye Xinglan suddenly took a step to the left front, trying to prevent the ancient hunter's dragon claws from attacking him in a normal way.

Then, Ye Xinglan swung her sword at Gu Lie's ribs with fluid movements, displaying a free and unrestrained style.

Since the two were clashing head-on, logically speaking, by the time Gu Lie realized the sword strike, it should have been very close to his body.

This means that Gu Lie must use his relatively vulnerable ribs to withstand Ye Xinglan's sword strike without any warning.

However, Gu Lie had already taken precautions against this.

As early as when Ye Xinglan suddenly took that step, Gu Lie had already entered Ye Xinglan's realm of thought.

Given Ye Xinglan's dedication and focus on the sword, Gu Lie was able to accurately predict her attack method almost immediately.

The first soul skill, Golden Body, was enhanced once again. Gu Lie swung his right arm forcefully down to his ribs, colliding with Ye Xinglan's Star God Sword. Meanwhile, he extended his left arm and struck Ye Xinglan's right shoulder.

With a muffled thud, Ye Xinglan felt a tremendous force come from her, and her Star God Sword only managed to tear Gu Lie's clothes before being deflected by the scales on his arm.

She almost lost her balance, and her upper body leaned backward uncontrollably.

As for Gu Lie, he seemed unaffected, and his movements remained smooth.

Perhaps the only impact was that a golden light emanated from the spot on his right arm where he had blocked Ye Xinglan's Star God Sword, and his soul power also suddenly dropped a little.

"My Star God Power couldn't even break through the scales on his body?!"

Ye Xinglan subconsciously widened her eyes, staring incredulously at the scene before her.

The Star God power attached to her Star God Sword is something that even a defensive-type Great Soul Master would find difficult to withstand. So why could she only use it to attack a one-ring Soul Master?

Because the Star God Sword on the left side of his body and his right shoulder were both hit by a huge force, Ye Xinglan could not even regroup in a short time. He could only circulate his soul power to make his posture comfortable as soon as possible so that he could continue to launch an attack.

But the next moment, the enormous dragon claw that occupied most of her field of vision mercilessly shattered her desire to fight back. As the dragon claw fell, Ye Xinglan understood that her journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform during the turbulent period was over.

Even if the Shrek Academy students, arranged by Silver Moon Douluo to accompany him, wanted to help, it was already too late...

"With your central gate wide open, I'll use my dragon claws to seize your weakness!"

Before Ye Xinglan's consciousness left the Ascension Platform, the last thing she heard was Gu Lie's trash talk.

……

"No, you really think I'm Tang Wulin? You think you can defeat me by using the moves that Tang Wulin used in the original story?"

"What kind of dragon is he? What kind of dragon am I?"

After sending Ye Xinglan away with Three Claws, Gu Lie mentally complained while launching an attack on the remaining five Shrek Academy students.

Just as the five people were activating their martial spirits and preparing to display their unique abilities, the ground beneath their feet suddenly turned into quicksand, and a tornado formed from earth-attribute soul power, trapping their legs as well.

At the same time, Na'er also came over, grasping Gu Lie's hand with one hand. The dragon power of the two merged again, and the powerful pressure spread again, causing the five Shrek Academy students to pause in their movements.

Of these five Shrek Academy students, three possess beast-type spirits: a lion spirit master, a bear spirit master, and a horse spirit master. The two possess weapon-type spirits: a spear spirit master and a short sword spirit master.

Seeing that the two children favored by Silver Moon Douluo were quickly dealt with by the people of the Spirit Pagoda, they no longer cared about continuing to gain benefits in the Spirit Ascension Platform, or whether bullying the weak or the many was morally wrong.

They were only thinking about quickly defeating these two somewhat strange kids in front of them so they could regain their position and defend the "honor" of Shrek Academy.

However, everything happened too fast. From the moment Ye Xinglan spoke up to expel Gu Lie to the moment she and Xu Lizhi left the Ascension Platform together, less than a minute had passed.

Their thinking hasn't fully shifted yet, so they've completely forgotten about even trying to seize that non-existent moral high ground.

"Luckily, there are no defensive-type Soul Masters... Na'er, prepare for Dragon God's Dive!"

Gu Lie gave a low command, then grabbed Na'er's hand and flung her upwards with force.

The combination technique they used against the giant black tiger was used again, but this time both of them were able to control their soul power better.

Moreover, there is another difference: the souls of the two individuals also participated this time.

The golden koi leaped from above the ancient hunter's head, spraying out an extremely swift stream of water that accurately struck the lion soul lord's face, interrupting her movements once again.

Gu Lie had already determined that the Lion Soul Master was most likely the leader among the five people, and he immediately interrupted his actions.

Meanwhile, Na'er's Thorn Dragon, after using spatial power to help Na'er reach a higher position, also protected the Ancient Hunter in front of her, providing support for the Ancient Hunter from behind.

Gu Lie thrust his hands forward in a calyx shape, and a purple shockwave shot out from his fingertips, hitting all five people in one go.

The attack's power and the drain on their soul energy, which exceeded their expectations, further devastated their already somewhat panicked state of mind.

When did the Spirit Pagoda produce such a powerful individual? It's one thing to instantly defeat two disciples of the Silver Moon Douluo, but to actually fight against members of Shrek Academy, who are supposedly invincible among their peers...

The next moment, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, interrupting the five people's thoughts once again.

That kind of fear that comes from the depths of their martial soul is something they can't experience in Shrek Academy's current curriculum.

With Na'er's gunshot as she descended from the sky, these five Shrek Academy students also achieved the record for the fastest escape from the Ascension Platform during the riot in Shrek Academy's history.

Only what they left behind, the spiritual energy that hadn't been completely absorbed, could prove that they had been here.
