"Your Majesty, this matter is not as simple as you think."
The confident look in Hu Yan Zhen's eyes danced, as if he could see the outline of victory through the smoke of the battlefield.
"Oh? How do you interpret it then?" Emperor Xue Ye's gaze was fixed on Hu Yan Zhen, as if trying to catch the threads of the battle situation from his words.
Hu Yan Zhen smiled slightly, a flash of brilliance in his eyes.
"Tang San's strategy is to control the actions of our students within eight seconds, or even less, in order to implement his plan of dividing and conquering."
His fingers tapped gently on the table, as if sketching a silent war scene in his mind.
"Then... what countermeasures do you have?" There was a hint of imperceptible tension in Emperor Xue Ye's voice. He knew well the uncertainties of the battlefield.
"If it weren't for A - Li, we might really be at a loss."
A trace of reminiscence and pride flashed in Hu Yan Zhen's eyes.
"But A - Li is different. His mutated martial spirit is the variable in this battle. Your Majesty, please wait and see. A - Li will surely bring unexpected surprises."
On the intense arena, Hu Yanli snorted contemptuously, a disdainful smile curling the corner of his mouth.
Restriction? A mocking glint flashed in his eyes, as if saying: Do you think I'm just an ordinary Mammoth martial spirit?
In an instant, the roars of tigers in the forest, the meows of cats in the valley, and various sounds of bone transformation intertwined in the air. Five opponents simultaneously launched fierce attacks towards the strands of Hu Yanli's hair scattered outside.
However, at this moment, Hu Yanli let out an earth - shattering roar, as if he could shake the entire arena.
A layer of ice - prism armor quickly condensed on his skin. Each ice crystal shone with a cold light, as if a gift from the God of Ice and Snow.
In the sunlight, this layer of armor reflected a dazzling light, making it unbearable to look directly at.
Just when everyone thought Hu Yanli had used all his tricks, he unexpectedly gave everyone present a pleasant surprise.
Wrapped in that layer of ice - prism armor, his figure began to gradually shrink, like a cicada struggling to transform out of its old shell.
The Blue Silver Grass that bound him was easily shaken off at this moment.
"What...?" Emperor Xue Ye's eyes widened in shock.
"Your Majesty, look. This is exactly my A - Li's unique skill. His mutated martial spirit not only has unparalleled defensive power but also possesses magical transformation abilities, rendering all control - type martial spirits ineffective in front of him."
Looking at Emperor Xue Ye's expression, Hu Yan Zhen's mouth twitched slightly upward, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable look of pride.
In the sky, the combined attacks of the five members of Shrek were like a magnificent meteor shower. Every sword glow, every punch wind left a bright trail in the air. Those trails were complex yet incredibly harmonious, like a visual feast.
However, just as their attacks poured down like a rainstorm and were about to reach the target, they found that the figure that should have been waiting in place had disappeared like a ghost. Only a wisp of breeze gently swayed in the air, as if mocking their powerlessness.
In the silent air, the five members of Shrek looked at each other, their eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
In that moment of confusion, Hu Yanli's figure appeared behind them like a flash of lightning. His fists, carrying the power of thunder, smashed down on the backs of Huang Yuan and Jing Ling with irresistible force.
Huang Yuan and Jing Ling didn't even have time to react. Their bodies were like withered leaves swept by a fierce wind, instantly being knocked out of the arena.
On their faces, pain and surprise were intertwined. Their bodies drew a long arc in the air and finally fell heavily to the ground, losing their fighting strength.
In the spectator stands, exclamations and discussions rose and fell. People couldn't believe their eyes. Shrek Academy, a team known for its teamwork and precise control, had collapsed so easily under Hu Yanli's solo battle.
Tang San stood still, a hint of unconcealable shock flashing in his eyes.
The carefully designed tactics he had thought were seamless now seemed like a thin piece of paper, easily torn apart by Hu Yanli's iron fist.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing joined hands to unleash their ultimate move - Netherworld White Tiger. At that moment, it was as if the power of heaven and earth converged, making way for this fateful confrontation.
The Netherworld White Tiger roared, its huge body drawing a sharp arc in the air. The fierce aura exuding from its claws and teeth seemed to devour the entire arena.
The hearts of the audience throbbed violently with every leap of the Netherworld White Tiger. They could almost feel the chill contained in each hair of the tiger. It was as if being locked by the tiger's eyes would freeze their souls.
However, just as the power of the White Tiger was about to be fully unleashed to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent, an earth - shattering force suddenly burst out from Hu Yanli's body.
He was like a thousand - year - old tree growing from the depths of the earth, with deep roots. No matter how strong the wind and rain were, he remained steadfast.
The claws of the Netherworld White Tiger collided with Hu Yanli's firm body, and the sound was like a thunderclap, deafening.
Hu Yanli didn't move an inch. He actually used brute force to dissolve the violent power of the Netherworld White Tiger.
His counter - attack was fast and precise, as if he had expected everything. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's offensive fell apart in front of him.
However, even so, the power of the Netherworld White Tiger was still not to be underestimated. Two disciples of the Xiangjia Sect were sent flying and fell heavily outside the arena.
As the battle situation changed, Shrek Academy fell into a disadvantage. Only Chen Feng was left alone, facing three powerful opponents from the Xiangjia Sect.
Discussions gradually rose among the crowd. Facing such a situation, even the most unwavering confidence began to waver.
How could one person fight against three?
On the VIP stand.
"It seems that your Xiangjia Sect is going to return in triumph in this match," the Platinum Bishop Salas congratulated Hu Yan Zhen.
Hu Yan Zhen smiled slightly, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, as if everything was under control.
"By luck, by luck."
However, his heart was in turmoil.
Sweat beads faintly oozed from his forehead. He knew how terrifying the attack power of the Netherworld White Tiger was. If his grandson's martial spirit hadn't had that magical mutation, he would probably have been defeated long ago.
But at this moment, only Chen Feng was left in Shrek Academy.
"Three against one, we're sure to win!" Hu Yan Zhen thought to himself, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Hu Yanli stood in the arena, looking around, and stared at Chen Feng arrogantly. A contemptuous smile curled the corner of his mouth.
"You're the only one left. We've surrounded you tightly. Why don't you admit defeat?"
In the spectator stands, discussions broke out.
Some people whispered to each other, guessing when Chen Feng would lower his noble head. Some were even speculating in what way he would yield.
In their eyes, with the situation of three against one, the outcome was already clear.
