"Sword Douluo Chen Xin, it truly is the Seven-Killing Sword..."

A hint of bitterness appeared in Chen Zifeng's smile. No matter how heavy the killing intent of the Soul-Chasing Sword was, it could never surpass the Seven-Killing Sword, which was named for killing. In the era of swordsmanship dominated by the Seven-Killing Sword ten thousand years ago, the Soul-Chasing Sword could only look up to its achievements from afar.

The Holy Angel Sword dissipated into golden light, and Ling Bai calmly said, "Before the final battle at Jialing Pass, although Sword Douluo harbored a resolve to die, he could not bear to see the sword techniques of the Seven-Killing Sword lineage fade into history. He compiled his lifetime of sword insights into a manual and left it to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, naming it the Seven-Killing Sword Technique. Thus, I had the opportunity to learn it."

When Ling Bai and Ning Tian were chosen as the next leaders of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, the Grandmaster gave each of them the chance to freely select a secret technique from the Treasure House of the World.

Ning Tian naturally chose the mind control technique, which was a must for the soul masters of the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower, while Ling Bai took the Seven-Killing Sword Technique compiled by Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

"Alright, I'll practice more. I lost to the Seven-Killing Sword Technique today, and I accept it with no regrets."

Chen Zifeng smiled with resignation, accepting the reality of losing his position among the Shrek Seven Monsters. He clasped his hands and said, "Little Brother Ling, remember to give those soul guides a good beating, especially those from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy!"

Ling Bai nodded slightly. As a swordsmanship soul master, Chen Zifeng was carefree and could let go of things easily. Compared to the tragic outcome of being crippled for life after losing a leg to an evil soul master, Chen Zifeng's future was much brighter.

At this moment, the other battlefields had also reached their conclusions. Elder Xuan took a big gulp of wine and, using his soul power, loudly announced:

"I declare the current Seven Monsters Challenge to be over! Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Bai, Gongyang Mo, Ling Luochen, Xi Xi, Yao Haoxuan, you seven will represent the Shrek Seven Monsters in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Duel Tournament!" The talents of the newly selected Seven Monsters far surpassed those of ordinary students. Only Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao successfully eliminated their opponents, Chen Zifeng and Qian Fufu. Chu Qingtian, Tai Xing, Pan Tao, and Zhou Sen fought hard but still fell short.

Chen Zifeng, Chu Qingtian, and the others accepted their defeat without any complaints, generously applauding and congratulating the seven winners.

"With more than six months until the tournament opens," Elder Xuan said to the new Seven Monsters, "I will do my utmost to cultivate your teamwork and tactics during this period. All of this will be achieved through practical combat, so...

I've found you some dedicated sparring partners!"

With that, Elder Xuan clapped his hands, and several figures slowly stepped into the soul duel arena.

"Lotus Saintess Huayao, Blue Sky Sparrow Gufan, Inner Courtyard Volcano Wuming, all former Shrek Seven Monsters..."

"Golden Fairy Han Ruoruo, I heard her soul power is about to break through to level eighty. Elder Xuan actually called her too!"

Seeing the gentle face of Han Ruoruo, everyone couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. The next heavyweight figure that appeared almost made them drop their jaws in shock.

"B-b-b-big..."

Yao Haoxuan subconsciously stuttered, slapping himself hard to finally spit out a complete sentence:

"Big Sister Zhang Lexuan is here. This is pure torture!"

He felt as if a big character '' (relying on someone else) was carved on his forehead. Even the bold Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao somewhat agreed with Yao Haoxuan. Han Ruoruo was about to break through to the Soul Douluo realm, while Zhang Lexuan was a genuine Soul Douluo with a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, even capable of facing a Sealed Douluo!

To put it bluntly, Zhang Lexuan alone could take on the Shrek Seven Monsters. With Han Ruoruo, Wu Ming, Gu Fan, and Hua Yao providing support, the Seven Monsters would be forced to strip off their underwear and hang it on a stick as a sign of surrender! Seeing this, the six losers quickly slipped out of the soul duel arena, patting their chests in relief, thankful they didn't win, or they would be the ones suffering soon!

Looking at the seven who were on edge, Elder Xuan's old face bloomed like a chrysanthemum. He teased, "No pressure, no motivation. To celebrate your inheriting the title of Shrek Seven Monsters, I've decided to have a friendly match of seven against five. Lexuan, Ruoruo, you five can use any means you like!"

"Don't worry, Elder Xuan, we'll take good care of our juniors."

Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoruo, Wu Ming, Gu Fan, and Hua Yao spread out in a half-circle, their smiles seeming friendly as they surrounded the Seven Monsters. The Seven Monsters, like lambs surrounded by wolves, huddled together, trembling.

"What do we do?"

Ma Xiaotao asked Ling Bai in a hurried tone.

"Big Sister, please go easy on us, okay?"

Ling Bai's face showed a mix of surprise and skepticism, but he knew it wasn't a problem he could solve now. He tried to appeal to Han Ruoruo's compassion.

"Hmph, sorry little brother, I can't go easy on you."

At that moment, Han Ruoruo was no longer the gentle and kind big sister. She had horns on

her head, black wings, and held a double-pronged fork, looking like a demon!

"Then there's no choice. We'll have to fight, you take on Big Sister, and I'll take on Big

Sister!"

The wind was cold, and the water was cold, but the brave warrior would not return!

...

At the Soul Guidance Department, in the Dean's office.

"Yan Shaozhe! You old scoundrel!"

Qian Duoduo slammed the table so hard that cracks appeared in the mixed-metal desk, which

then broke into two pieces with a loud crack.

Even so, Qian Duoduo was still not satisfied. He kicked another table, nearly hitting Qian

Fufu, who was trying to make himself as invisible as possible.

Not only was Qian Duoduo furious, but Xian Lin'er's face was also ashen with anger. The Sealed Douluo was so enraged that she couldn't control her soul power, causing chaos in the

office.

"Teacher, Grandmaster, have some tea to calm down."

Ning Tian brought two cups of refreshing snow tea, signaling Qian Fufu to move further away.

Just moments ago, Qian Fufu had told Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo that he had lost to Ma Xiaotao and lost his position among the Shrek Seven Monsters. The two deans instantly exploded, starting to curse the Soul Master Department's Dean, Yan Shaozhe.

Xian Lin'er drank the snow tea in one gulp and gritted her teeth, saying:

"At the Sea God Pavilion meeting, it was agreed that we would support the development of the Soul Guidance Department, and the elders agreed to reserve a Shrek Seven Monsters position for the Soul Guidance Department in each tournament! Ma Xiaotao eliminating Fufu was clearly a deliberate move by Yan Shaozhe, challenging the Soul Guidance Department's

bottom line!

No way, I'm going to the Soul Master Department to confront Yan Shaozhe! If he can't give me a satisfactory explanation, I'll take it to the Sea God Pavilion meeting and let the elders

judge!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Xian Lin'er glared, as if ready to rush to the Soul Master Department to confront Yan Shaozhe. Despite Qian Duoduo's rage, a bit of rationality made him quickly hold back Xian Lin'er, advising:

"Liner, calm down and listen to my analysis. Taking this to the Sea God Pavilion meeting will only result in a stalemate and change nothing.

The Seven Monsters Challenge rules allow any soul master from any cultivation path to

challenge soul guides... I suddenly realized that the academy never truly supported the development of the Soul Guidance Department; they just used the Seven Monsters position to

keep us in check!

In the end, Ma Xiaotao's elimination of Fufu was done according to the rules, and we have no

moral high ground."

Qian Duoduo sighed deeply. Within the same academy, the Soul Master Department and the Soul Guidance Department were in competition, as the total resources were limited. More resources for the Soul Guidance Department meant fewer for the Soul Master Department. Yan Shaozhe's move was to suppress the Soul Guidance Department. If a Shrek Seven Monsters team composed entirely of Soul Master Department students won the tournament, would there still be a place for the Soul Guidance Department in the academy!

Xian Lin'er calmed down slightly and said angrily, "Shrek Academy is already the top soul master academy on the continent, with no room for improvement. The Soul Guidance Department is still in its early stages, far from the many soul guide academies of the Sun

Moon Empire.

All they do is suppress and suppress. Is Yan Shaozhe so foolish that he can't see that the combination of soul masters and soul guides is the future trend of the continent!"

"Yan Shaozhe is narrow-minded and cunning, but he's very smart," Qian Duoduo's eyes flickered. "He must understand this, but he's unwilling to change."

Under the old-school mindset of Yan Shaozhe and other higher-ups, the students of the Soul Master Department must maintain a pure lineage and firmly resist the use of soul guidance

devices.

Accepting soul guidance devices would taint the reputation of Shrek Academy as the top soul master academy on the continent, something Yan Shaozhe could never accept.

"This time, we'll have to let Fufu suffer. Before our plan shows its results, we can't directly

confront the Soul Master Department."

Qian Duoduo looked at Qian Fufu with deep regret. As a father and teacher, he felt very guilty

for not being able to seek justice for his child.

"The plan... Ultimate Solo Combatant?" Xian Lin'er mused.

Qian Duoduo nodded. "Yes! Fufu, Xiaotian, and Fan Yu's two disciples are our hope for a

comeback in the Soul Guidance Department!

Fufu, quickly find Fan Yu. I need to update the content of the Ultimate Solo Combatant plan!"

"Sure thing!"

The Soul Guidance Department was enthusiastically discussing the details of the Ultimate Solo Combatant plan. Meanwhile, at the Inner Courtyard soul duel arena, seven human-

shaped figures slowly emerged.

"Ah! I'm going to die!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gongyang Mo lay on the ground, ignoring the rain, as his Rainbow Dragon was almost burned

to a crisp by Wu Ming's Golden Crow Holy Fire. Yao Haoxuan was in a similar state, looking

like a burnt charcoal.

Ling Luochen and Xi Xi were swallowed by lotus flowers and confined underground, Gu Fan played a sky-tossing game with Dai Yueheng, and Zhang Lexuan showed Ma Xiaotao what the Inner Courtyard's big sister was capable of. Ling Bai was slightly better off, only being tied up by Han Ruoruo's Shimmering Gold Rope and used as a punching bag.

Dai Yueheng felt the joy of standing on solid ground and trembled, saying, "Let's go back. I think this kind of intense training will be a regular thing." Everyone agreed and hurried back to their dormitories to practice.

Ling Bai walked toward the Golden Tree at the center of Sea God Island. After a while, he

passed a lonely wooden house.

"Dugu Lin..."

On the day of enrollment, Zhang Lexuan had assigned Ling Bai's dorm, so he knew the

locations of Dugu Lin, Chu Qingtian, and other students of the same year. He stopped in front

of the wooden house.

The rain had stopped, but the sky was still overcast. Ling Bai lightly knocked on the door, but there was no response. He knocked a few more times with the same result.

Ling Bai frowned, thinking of Dugu Lin's absence from the Seven Monsters Challenge. Hmm,

she couldn't have...

"Creak-"

As Ling Bai pushed open the old wooden door, a thick green mist rushed out. The sacred

power of the Six-Winged Angel instantly formed a protective barrier, blocking the deadly mist filled with Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison.

The room was eerily quiet, with only the occasional low moan, like the heavy groan of a dying

animal.

Dugu Lin lay on the bed, her body curled up like a shrimp, her green hair drenched in sweat, as

if enduring excruciating pain.

She didn't notice Ling Bai's sudden intrusion until a purifying hand rested on her back, and

the sacred aura flowed into her body, easing the torment of the poison.

Dugu Lin sat up, supported by the bedhead. She wore a loose, oversized white shirt that was clearly too big for her, hanging loosely and revealing her swan-like neck and stunning collarbones. Her usually beautiful face was now pale and sickly, evoking a strong sense of

protectiveness.

"You... you came..."

Her voice was barely audible, like a dying person using the last bit of breath to form a light,

floating sentence.

"Green Phosphorus Snake Poison backlash?"

Ling Bai asked, though his tone lacked any doubt.

"See for yourself."

Dugu Lin extended a white wrist, and Ling Bai placed his index and middle fingers on it,

sending a stream of sacred power into her body.

Following the meridians, he sensed her condition, and his pupils gradually narrowed to the

size of a needle. The blood vessels on the surface of Dugu Lin's heart were dark, indicating that the blood circulating through her body was as black as asphalt.

How could she survive this? Ling Bai was at a loss. Dugu Lin was almost finished, with only

two paths ahead: one leading to death, the other also leading to death.

The elders of the Green Phosphorus Snake clan were right; twenty-five was indeed the limit of

Dugu Lin's life! Dugu Lin looked out the window, saying softly, "It was also a rainy day like this when my

father was eroded to a skeleton by Green Phosphorus Snake Poison... It will be my turn in a few years, I suppose."

She had endured the Green Phosphorus Snake Poison for eleven years, the pain like venomous

snakes lurking in her body, emerging to bite her heart during rainy days and late-night nightmares. "There's a way," Ling Bai said.

Even he didn't believe it. Dugu Lin's poison backlash was more terrifying than that of her

ancestor, Dugu Bo, with her veins filled with the five poisons of the Green Phosphorus Snake, reaching the ultimate level of Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison. Due to the massive amount of Ultimate Emerald Phosphorous Poison, even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone couldn't contain all the poison in her body, making the method of forcing the poison

into her bones difficult to succeed.

Ling Bai shook his head, a hint of regret in his eyes. When Dugu Lin confessed to him upon

their first meeting, he realized she probably hoped to use the power of the Six-Winged Angel to neutralize the Green Phosphorus Snake Poison backlash.

It was too late; ten years ago might have been the last chance for purification.

Ling Bai's golden eyes glowed, and he formed a golden light ball in his hand, handing it to Dugu Lin.

"It won't cure the root cause, but at least it will let you sleep well tonight." Dugu Lin tightly hugged the golden light ball, the sacred aura slowly nourishing her body.

Feeling the warmth of the Six-Winged Angel, she looked up at the moon, her mind lost in thought.

From Ling Bai's side, her face glowed faintly, the moonlight like a light veil on her body. Each

slight flutter of her eyelashes was like a butterfly's wings, making her more beautiful than her

previous attempts to attract attention.

"Good night."

It wasn't the time to admire beauty, so Ling Bai got up and left, gently closing the door

behind him.

Dugu Lin remained in that position for a long time, then murmured, "Please, Ling Bai, get

stronger. That place will eventually need you to enter..."
