Bang!
Watching Lin Ye darting toward him, the Bear King roared furiously after stomping onto the Soul Fighting Stage, charging head-on to meet him.
Just as they were about to collide, the Bear King suddenly raised his massive bear paw, the size of a fan, and lifted it high in a roar, ready to slam it down with full force.
Meanwhile, Lin Ye held the Xuanyuan Sword horizontally in front of his chest, his gaze gradually turning icy.
"Third Soul Skill, Shatter Mountains and Rivers!"
With Lin Ye's cold shout, vast amounts of Nine Suns True Qi began circulating through his body along the pathways of the first move of the Xuanyuan Sword Technique—Shatter Mountains and Rivers.
As the True Qi transformed into sword energy, Lin Ye swung his sword fiercely.
In an instant, accompanied by a dazzling golden light, countless golden sword energies erupted violently from the Hidden Wind Sword.
The countless golden sword energies shot into the air, coalescing into a massive golden sword in midair before slashing down toward the Bear King with a momentum that seemed capable of tearing everything apart.
"Not good!"
Sensing the terrifying power emanating from the giant sword formed by the golden sword energies, the Bear King's expression changed drastically. He quickly crossed his arms above his head, bracing to block the descending golden blade.
"Rip—!"
The golden giant sword, carrying a razor-sharp aura capable of shredding everything, tore through the air with a piercing screech before striking down.
However, the first move of the Xuanyuan Sword Technique, Shatter Mountains and Rivers, executed by Lin Ye at the Soul Elder level, ultimately couldn't hold its form.
Just as the golden giant sword was about to strike the Bear King, it suddenly exploded, dispersing into countless sword energies that shot toward the Bear King with a howling force.
Though the power of the sword energies was greatly diminished after the giant sword shattered, each one was still sharp enough to pierce the Bear King's defenses.
Countless sword energies rained down, enveloping the Bear King. His tough fur was continuously sliced open, and blood splattered from his body.
Soon, amidst pained groans, the Bear King's fur was nearly dyed red with blood.
With injuries large and small accumulating, even the Bear King, a defense-type Soul Master, couldn't hold on any longer. He collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"Oh my! The Bear King contestant has been severely injured by Sword One contestant's third soul skill and is now unconscious! The Bear Tyrant team now only has the Tyrant King contestant left!"
Seeing Lin Ye execute the first move of the Xuanyuan Sword Technique, Shatter Mountains and Rivers, and summon a golden giant sword to slash at the Bear King—though the sword shattered midway—the countless golden sword energies still inflicted heavy damage on the Bear King. The host below the stage couldn't help but shout in astonishment.
"We're done for!"
Not far away, the Tyrant King, who had been entangled with Zhu Zhuqing, felt his heart sink.
As a defense and control-type Soul Master, he had almost no offensive capabilities.
Facing someone who could severely injure the Bear King, he stood no chance.
After glancing at the heavily wounded Bear King, the Tyrant King immediately shouted, "I surrender!"
...
Time passed quickly, and several days went by in the blink of an eye.
After witnessing the power of the Xuanyuan Sword Technique at the Suotuo Great Soul Arena, Lin Ye incorporated it into his morning training sessions in the forest outside Suotuo City.
Currently, Lin Ye practiced two cultivation techniques: the Nine Suns Divine Skill for soul power and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique for body refinement.
At present, Lin Ye had reached the fifth level of the Nine Suns Divine Skill and the fourth layer of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, granting his body a strength exceeding 30,000 jin!
As for combat techniques, Lin Ye had now mastered three: the movement technique Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, the sword technique Dugu Nine Swords, and the Xuanyuan Sword Technique, whose power rivaled soul skills!
As for Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, Lin Ye had been using it frequently lately.
After refining the third eye of the Three-Eyed Demon Fox and the shell of the Twin Snails, Lin Ye discovered that using Divine Machine Hundred Refinements to refine certain parts of soul beasts could produce exceptionally powerful artifacts!
One afternoon, Lin Ye was cultivating in his room when suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
"Tap, tap, tap…"
Hearing the sound, Lin Ye stood up and walked to the door.
Opening it, he saw a waiter dressed in the uniform of the Violet Rose Grand Hotel standing outside.
"Esteemed guest, there is a young lady at the entrance asking for you," the waiter said with a slight bow.
"Someone is looking for me?"
Following the waiter, Lin Ye left his room and headed to the hotel entrance.
At the entrance, a girl in a form-fitting blue-violet short dress with short blue-violet hair stood with her back to the door, waiting.
Recognizing the familiar attire, Lin Ye immediately realized it must be Meng Yiran.
It seemed that Meng Shu had already completed the withdrawal procedures for Meng Yiran from the Soul Master academy in the Balak Kingdom's capital.
"Yiran!"
Spotting Meng Yiran, Lin Ye bypassed the guiding waiter and walked toward her, calling out.

"Lin Ye… Young Master!"
Hearing Lin Ye's voice, Meng Yiran turned around, her face lighting up with joy as she quickly ran over.
"Have you settled everything in the Balak Kingdom's capital?" Lin Ye asked as he led Meng Yiran upstairs.
"My matters are all settled, but Grandfather and Grandmother's aren't yet. They still need to arrange affairs within the clan before they can come," Meng Yiran replied.
"Mm, I see."
Lin Ye nodded slightly at her answer.
"Let's set aside your grandparents' affairs for now. Do you know why I asked you to come?"
"I do. You want me to join you in next year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament!" Meng Yiran nodded in response.
"Since you know, that's good. Right now, the only teammates I've chosen are you and Zhuqing. But both of your strengths are still too low, so starting tomorrow, I'll conduct special training for the two of you. It'll last for a month, and I hope you can endure it."
"Don't worry! I'll definitely endure it!"
Meng Yiran nodded firmly.
Just as her grandfather Meng Shu had worried, she was well aware of the predicament facing her Dragon Serpent Clan. If there was a chance to rapidly increase her strength, she had to seize it!
"Having confidence is good. During your time in Suotuo City, you'll stay with Zhuqing. The two of you will be teammates in the future, so it's best to start building synergy early."
Stopping in front of Zhu Zhuqing's room, Lin Ye pointed to the door.
"Mm, I understand!"
Meng Yiran nodded.
...
While Lin Ye and Meng Yiran were talking, elsewhere, at the entrance of the village where Shrek Academy was located, a figure in a pink dress finally arrived.
"Whew! I'm finally back. Third Brother, wait for me!"
