Liu Feng looked at him and said in a serious tone, “Thank you. If not for your arrival, Fatty and I would probably be eliminated from the Elite Junior Class by now. We wouldn’t have come all the way to this stage without you. It was you who blazed the way through all manner of obstacles and brought us to Shrek Academy’s semi-finals. To us, this was already way past what we can achieve. I understand the meaning of a solo competition. I will definitely do my test and try. Even if I fail, I will have no regrets; it is a lack of my own ability. Hence, you don’t have to worry about me. If I really don’t get in, it is my own problem. You must work hard to get in; I believe that you can do it for sure. I don’t know what Fatty is thinking but even if I didn’t get in, I will not regret it. For the individual test, it is sufficient if I work hard and make sure I don’t have any regrets.”

Qian Lei blinked, “Frenzie, what do you mean? Are you saying that I will blame Xuanyu if I didn’t get in? Go for it. I didn’t cultivate for nothing last night, I have some fresh ideas now. And who knows what the solo competition would be like? Maybe we’ll be competing on sleeping—I’ll definitely get first place, then!”

Seeing the smiles on their faces, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt somewhat helpless. He had always relied on his wits, commanding skills, and special enhancement ability to charge forward with his partners and became champion of the qualifiers. He was also pleased with himself.

However, at this moment, he finally understood that even when they didn’t have absolute strength, they still had to face the situation before them. Not having absolute strength meant that everything would not be within their control, and Lan Xuanyu really hated this feeling.

There were only 147 people left from the 300 people yesterday. Wrong, 150 people.

Because just when Lan Xuanyu was feeling helpless, he suddenly saw three familiar figures, and they were the three people whom they defeated in the arena yesterday, Li Han, Li Bin and Jia Yu.

Currently, these three people were standing nearby with Ling Yiyi, looking in their direction. The three people had a complex look in their eyes, but it wasn’t hostility.

‘Weren’t they eliminated? Why haven’t they left yet? Could it be that Shrek Academy found yesterday’s match fishy?’

Just as Lan Xuanyu was making wild guesses, Ling Yiyi brought the three people over.

“Today will be a solo competition, and the others will be following the invigilators to pick their solo competition event. Lan Xuanyu, come with me first,” Ling Yiyi said.

Qian Lei and Liu Feng obviously saw those three people as well and were nervous as they both looked at Lan Xuanyu at the same time.

Lan Xuanyu said, “I’ll be fine; all the best. I’ll get going first.”

Although he didn’t know where Ling Yiyi was going to bring him, with Teacher Ji’s analysis yesterday, he could roughly guess it. The highest possibility was to ask him to re-enact what happened yesterday to confirm his extraordinary nature.

After getting onto a Soul Guidance car outside, Ling Yiyi drove it, and it accelerated directly into the academy. The car was moving extremely fast.

Lan Xuanyu could adapt to speeds very well and didn’t have a big reaction. On the contrary, it was Li Han’s team that was startled and hurriedly tightened their seatbelts.

Lan Xuanyu sat in the passenger seat in front while Li Han’s team was at the back. Ling Yiyi kept observing the four people’s reaction; seeing that Lan Xuanyu seemed indifferent to the speed of her car, she was slightly more impressed by him. Not everyone was able to adjust to this strong acceleration.

Very soon, the car stopped in front of a teaching block and Ling Yiyi said, “Follow me, all of you.”

They entered the teaching block. Green and white were the primary interior colors, and the place was filled with a breath of nature. It was complementary with the dense life energy in Shrek Academy—very fresh and natural.

Four people followed behind Ling Yiyi and didn’t talk to one another. Li Han’s team glanced at Lan Xuanyu once in a while, but Lan Xuanyu kept facing forward.

Very soon, the four of them were brought to a place that resembled a classroom. Inside, there were many silvery-white simulators. They were slightly different from those simulators in Heaven Luo Academy; they were larger.

“Each of you, please get into a simulator, and use your original account number to log in.” Ling Yiyi activated the simulators and very soon, the doors opened, revealing the cabin inside.

The four of them often cultivated in simulators and were obviously very familiar with them as they each went into one.

It should be a test in the simulator? Lan Xuanyu thought to himself. Not a bad thing to be tested since he didn’t really feel what happened during that process yesterday. Re-enacting it would allow him to feel what sort of changes happened in his body that could actually render his opponents’ Martial Souls ineffective.

The cabin doors closed, and the darkness lasted only for a moment unlike the usual simulators that needed a period of time. In a split second, Lan Xuanyu realized that he was in Soul World already. Of course, it wasn’t the same place as Heaven Luo Academy previously but a completely new environment.

This was a forest—at least the surroundings was a forest—and he was on a spacious lawn. He had just appeared when Li Han, Li Bin, Jia Yu, and Ling Yiyi appeared there one after another.

Ling Yiyi said, “Your situation in the arena yesterday was more unique, so the academy has decided to give all of you an additional test. Lan Xuanyu, I will let them attack you the same way as they did yesterday, while you use the same method to block them and see if their attacks would still be ineffective.”

“Alright.”‘It was as I expected,’ Lan Xuanyu thought to himself.

Li Bin and his teammates looked at one another and felt complex. Or rather, they had been feeling complex since the end of the match yesterday. They didn’t understand how they lost, but they were still looking forward to how today would turn out.

They had already lost, and this was irreversible. If the situation didn’t happen yesterday. They wouldn’t be granted a special chance. But if the same situation happened, this proved that Lan Xuanyu has the special ability to control these three people, so it wasn’t their problem even if they lost, and they would have a chance to continue taking part in the test.

With this complicated mood, the three people released their Martial Souls.

Lan Xuanyu naturally released his at the same time—a triangular ice wall to block. A bright, full moon above the waters, a school of swordfishes within the ocean. A torrential wave came rushing over.

This time, Li Han’s team naturally put in more effort and the moment they charged forward, Lan Xuanyu’s triangular ice wall almost couldn’t withstand their attacks.

In the Soul World, obviously there weren’t any issues with safety, and Lan Xuanyu didn’t consider using his Martial Soul Fusion technique, simply allowing that wave to hit him. Then, he focused on feeling the changes within his body.

Indeed, a change occurred.

Just as those torrential waves came into contact with his body, Lan Xuanyu felt that there wasn’t any change in the bloodline vortex in his body. However, in his sea of consciousness, there seemed to be a faint, gold color; it was just a flash, and there wasn’t any extremely strong aura that appeared. However, the second that gold color flashed by, all the waves were gone without a trace.

Li Han and Jia Yu’s Martial Souls disappeared in an instant; it was exactly the same as what happened the day before.

Ling Yiyi was next to them, filming everything, and was observing Lan Xuanyu’s change, too.

On the surface, there wasn’t anything different about Lan Xuanyu, but when that wave touched his body, it was as if it was infected by a plague and disappeared instantly without leaving a single trace.
