"What? Ye Feng is a spirit beast? That's impossible!"
"I thought so too at first, but now... he's a transformed spirit beast!"
"What's going on?" Ning Fengzhi asked, his voice filled with disbelief.
"I don't know. The changes in him are beyond my comprehension." Chen Xin frowned deeply, struggling to make sense of what he was seeing. He muttered to himself, "When I first met Ye Feng, he showed me his three martial spirits. At that time, even in the dark, if he had been a transformed spirit beast, there's no way it would have escaped my eyes. But now, he's clearly a transformed spirit beast. I'll have to ask him after the match to find out what the hell happened."
"Then Ye Feng is in danger. There are several Spirit Douluo-level masters present," Ning Fengzhi said, his eyes shifting to Platinum Bishop Salas, Emperor Xue Ye, and Hu Yanzhen. He had no doubt that they had also noticed Ye Feng's unusual condition.
"So what if he's human or a spirit beast?" Chen Xin's sharp gaze swept over Salas, Emperor Xue Ye, and Hu Yanzhen as he spoke to Ning Fengzhi in a low voice. "All I know is that Ye Feng is my direct disciple."
At that moment, Ye Feng was just as confused as everyone else.
"System, did you turn me into a spirit beast?"
"Yes. Weren't you envious of Xiao Wu being able to obtain spirit rings without hunting spirit beasts? The system found that unfair and has permanently enhanced the host's physique to that of a spirit beast."
"So, am I human or a spirit beast now?"
"Both."
"Then if someone kills me, can they obtain spirit rings and spirit bones?"
"The host now has the physique of a spirit beast. If killed, spirit rings and spirit bones will definitely drop."
"Fuck me... Doesn't that mean I just put a giant target on my back?" Ye Feng's eyes darted toward the podium, where multiple high-level experts were staring at him with expressions he didn't like one bit.
"Brother!"
Xiao Wu gasped in shock. "Why are you suddenly the same as me?"
Ye Feng didn't dwell on it. Sure, he had been envious of Xiao Wu before, but this? This was next-level. Not having to hunt spirit beasts but still obtaining spirit rings? That wasn't a drawback—it was an insane power-up.
When Ye Feng had killed Shi Nian, he had regretted that his Eye of Hell spirit had never encountered a truly compatible spirit beast. Now, that problem was gone. With his new physique, every future spirit ring he absorbed would be the absolute best match for him, even better than rings bestowed by the gods.
He reached out and ruffled Xiao Wu's hair. "Don't overthink it. Just focus on the match."
The Elephant Armor Academy Team
The commentator's voice rang out through the stadium.
"Let's take a look at the Elephant Armor Academy's lineup."
"Hu Yanli, captain of the Elephant Armor Academy team, is a Level 43 defense-type battle spirit master. He possesses two yellow and two purple spirit rings—an impressive talent for someone so young."
"The next two members are both Level 41 Spirit Masters, also with two yellow and two purple rings. With three Spirit Masters leading the team, Elephant Armor Academy truly lives up to its reputation."
"The remaining four members are all high-level Spirit Elders, each at Level 39, just a step away from advancing. Their spirit rings consist of two yellow and one purple, proving their solid foundation. This is an exceptionally strong lineup. Their opponents will have to be cautious."
"Will the powerful defensive formation of Elephant Armor Academy prove impenetrable today? Let's find out! Both teams, release your spirits!"
The seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy unleashed their martial spirits—massive Diamond Mammoths.
On the other side, Ye Feng, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai released their own spirits.
Ye Feng and Xiao Wu both had five spirit rings.
Zhu Zhuqing was at Level 44. Thanks to the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone she had obtained earlier, her spirit power was three levels higher than in the original storyline.
Ning Rongrong, now a Level 45 auxiliary spirit master, had two yellow and two purple spirit rings.
Ma Hongjun, martial spirit Evil Fire Phoenix, was now at Level 51, thanks in no small part to his... unique training method. His spirit rings were two yellow, two purple, and one black.
Oscar, martial spirit Sausage, was a Level 43 food-type spirit master, also with two yellow and two purple rings.
Dai Mubai, now a Level 41 power-attack spirit master, had two yellow and two purple rings. However, compared to Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun—who had all benefited from Ye Feng's rare herbs—his spirit power was three levels lower than in the original timeline.
The Match Begins
"The first match of the second round of the preliminaries: Shrek Academy vs. Elephant Armor Academy—begin!"
First Spirit Skill: Iron Wall!
The seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy moved in unison, activating their Iron Wall skill. Transparent shields rose in front of them as they advanced toward the Shrek Seven Devils.
But then—something shocking happened.
Six of the Shrek team smirked and withdrew their martial spirits. Before anyone could react, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai all jumped out of the ring.
A stunned silence fell over the stadium.
The seven members of Elephant Armor Academy froze, staring in disbelief.
Even Hu Yanli, their captain, was too dumbfounded to mock Shrek Academy. After all, Shrek had three Spirit Kings and four high-level Spirit Masters. They had the strength to fight. Yet six of them voluntarily eliminated themselves before the battle even began.
The referee's voice rang out.
"Since six members of Shrek Academy have jumped out of the ring, they are disqualified."
Hu Yanli's brows furrowed. "What the hell is this?"
Xiao Wu grinned mischievously. "Isn't it obvious? To deal with a mere Elephant Armor Academy, we don't need all seven of us. My brother can handle it alone."
"That's right."
Ning Rongrong placed a hand on Xiao Wu's shoulder and added with a smirk, "If you're using seven people, we should too, right? But that'd be too unfair."
"Hahaha!"
Ma Hongjun burst out laughing. "I'm just saying, little elephants—you might wanna consider forfeiting now. You don't stand a damn chance against Boss Ye."
The commentator's voice boomed through the stadium.
"Dear audience, did you hear that? A shocking turn of events! Shrek Academy has chosen to fight with only one member! Such confidence! Let's give a huge round of applause for Ye Feng, the captain of Shrek Academy!"
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The crowd erupted in cheers.
