Bibi Dong's expression froze slightly as she asked, "Are you confident?"
Jiang Chen affirmed, "I have confidence. Besides, Senior Sister and the others will be supporting me from the side, so there won't be any accidents."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly and said, "Very well. If you can defeat Shrek Academy all by yourself, it will undoubtedly showcase the strength of our Spirit Hall greatly. Additionally, the teacher has another task for you."
"What task?"
A cold, murderous intent appeared on Bibi Dong's beautiful face. "Find an opportunity to kill that Tang San from Shrek Academy."
Both Jiang Chen and Hu Liena were startled.
In the Soul Master Tournament, deliberately killing someone was not allowed, but if done discreetly, killing a person wouldn't matter much.
"Teacher, why?" Jiang Chen vaguely guessed Bibi Dong's thoughts but still asked.
Bibi Dong said, "If there is any force in this world that can threaten our Spirit Hall, it would only be the Clear Sky School. The Clear Sky School has produced a Tang Hao, who is already a major threat to us. This Tang San possesses twin martial souls, and his talent is even more terrifying than Tang Hao's. We absolutely cannot allow him to grow unchecked."
"Little Chen, threats should be nipped in the bud. Do you understand?" Bibi Dong looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "Teacher, I understand the reasoning you mentioned, but I don't want to kill Tang San right now."
The smile on Bibi Dong's face disappeared as she stared at Jiang Chen. "Why?"
Jiang Chen replied, "Because I see him as an opponent on the path of cultivation. Tang San's existence can motivate me to keep advancing. Teacher, rest assured. As long as I am here, Tang San won't be able to stir up any waves."
In fact, there was another reason: Tang Hao was hiding in the shadows. How could he possibly watch his son get killed?
Moreover, a few days ago Tang Hao had generously spared him, so he couldn't bring himself to turn around and kill the man's son.
In the future, there might be a life-and-death battle, but definitely not now.
Bibi Dong stared at Jiang Chen for a moment before saying, "Fine, then handle it as you see fit. It's getting late. You two should head back and rest early."
Jiang Chen and Hu Liena bid farewell to Bibi Dong and headed to Xie Yue's place.
The seven of them discussed their battle plan for tomorrow once again.
In the few days since Jiang Chen's return, he had already fought several times against Xie Yue and the other four geniuses. Even when Xie Yue and Hu Liena teamed up, they were no match for Jiang Chen. Therefore, they had no objections to Jiang Chen's plan to fight alone tomorrow.
If any accidents really occurred, the remaining six of them would still be enough to deal with Shrek.
An hour later, Jiang Chen and Hu Liena returned to the dormitory.
"Senior Sister, what exactly is that Lost Grand Canyon that Elder Ghost mentioned earlier? Why did all of you seem so afraid of it?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.
Hu Liena explained, "Little Chen, besides the Death Training Camp and the Spirit Hall Academy, our Spirit Hall has many other training grounds. The danger level of the Lost Grand Canyon is extremely high. Even Soul Kings and Soul Emperors can perish inside if they are not careful."
"Besides the Lost Grand Canyon, there is also the Death Canyon, which is equally dangerous. If we were really thrown in there by Elder Ghost, we probably wouldn't be able to come out."
"There are places like that?" Jiang Chen became somewhat interested.
He decided that when he had time in the future, he would definitely visit these places to see what kind of mysteries they held.
The two slept in separate rooms. The night passed without incident.
Early the next morning, Jiang Chen and the other seven stood energetically at the square in front of the Papal Hall, waiting.
Before long, footsteps came from down the mountain.
Jiang Chen turned his head and saw the Shrek Seven walking up with their heads held high and chests puffed out.
Their steps were incredibly firm. With every step they took, the fighting spirit in their bodies grew stronger.
When the Shrek Seven stepped into the square, their fighting spirit, which had already reached its peak, pressed down fearlessly toward the Spirit Hall Academy team.
Jiang Chen let out a cold snort. An icy killing intent surged out of his body, stabbing straight toward the Shrek Seven like cold blades.
The killing intent he had honed in the Slaughter City was incredibly terrifying. It was not something these Shrek members, who had only killed a few people, could compare to.
Feeling Jiang Chen's terrifying killing intent, the Shrek Seven's steps faltered for a moment.
The instant the killing intent descended, their skin stung with pain. Their hearts pounded wildly, as if they were seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, feeling as though they would die in the next second.
Tang San's eyes flashed with purple light as he let out a cold snort infused with spiritual power, finally pulling his teammates out of Jiang Chen's killing intent illusion.
"How can he have such terrifying killing intent?" Dai Mubai's mind shook in horror as he couldn't help blurting out.
The faces of the others all turned somewhat pale. The fighting spirit they had just built up was easily shattered by Jiang Chen.
The expression of the Grandmaster, who was standing at the edge of the square, had already become extremely grave.
He had not expected that the six-year-old child from back then could grow to this level so quickly.
"Shrek fears nothing!" Tang San roared in a low voice.
The other six members of Shrek trembled, and their spirits rose once again.
"Shrek fears nothing!" The seven shouted in unison, drawing everyone's attention.
"Hehe…" A few laughs came from the Spirit Hall team.
A row of gilded grand chairs had been placed in front of the Papal Hall. Bibi Dong, still dressed in the same attire as yesterday, walked out from inside the Papal Hall and sat in the center of the chairs.
To her left sat Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. These two were honorary elders of Spirit Hall and had the qualifications to sit here.
To her right sat the two elders, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
The Spirit Hall team and the Shrek team, fourteen young people in total, stood straight, looking up at the Pope above.
"The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin. Both teams have fifteen minutes to prepare. The match will officially start in fifteen minutes." Bibi Dong's majestic voice rang out.
Both teams returned to their positions. The seven members of Spirit Hall sat in the designated rest area to adjust their states.
The Shrek Seven gathered around Grandmaster, making final tactical preparations.
Fifteen minutes later, a thunderous shout came from Shrek Academy's side: "Shrek will definitely win!"
Jiang Chen opened his eyes and looked over. He saw Grandmaster and the seven members of the Shrek team stacking their hands together. A belief of certain victory erupted from them.
"Heh… interesting." Before the match even began, Jiang Chen was already looking forward to it.
Shrek really had something. Even after being hit several times, they could still maintain such a high fighting spirit.
What Jiang Chen wanted to do was to crush Shrek's fighting spirit with his own power alone, trample on the pride in their hearts, and become an eternal nightmare in their minds.
Xie Yue sneered, "Definitely win? How ridiculous."
Soon, the referee entered the arena. Under the referee's instructions, both teams stepped onto the stage and stood facing each other on the hundred-meter-diameter platform.
None of the fourteen people on both sides spoke. They stared at each other, their gazes clashing fiercely.
Before the match even started, the smell of gunpowder had already reached its limit.
At this moment, everyone's attention was completely focused on the stage.
"The match begins. Both sides may release your martial souls."
The red-robed cardinal acting as referee announced and quickly retreated from the stage area.
"Brothers, fight!" Team captain Dai Mubai roared.
The seven members of the Shrek Academy team moved almost at the same time. Surging soul power instantly erupted within their bodies as they released their martial souls.
Except for Dai Mubai and Tang San, who had four soul rings each, the other five all had three soul rings.
Although their overall soul power was weaker, the aura erupting from the Shrek team at this moment was shocking.
Jiang Chen smiled as he strode forward, facing the Shrek Academy alone.
