He's a freshman and doesn't know the rules.
"But you two—Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi—are senior students. Don't you know the rules either?"
Zhang Lexuan immediately turned her fire on Bei Bei.
She had clearly seen Bei Bei get beaten until his face was bruised and swollen—but those were only superficial injuries.
On the other hand, Xu Sanshi, a defensive-type Soul Master, had been beaten to the point where he couldn't even stand up.
It was obvious he had suffered internal injuries—serious enough to require a healing Soul Master.
"Sister Lexuan, I won't do it again."
Bei Bei behaved like a well-disciplined child.
Even though his face was covered in bruises, he didn't even try to hide them.
"Since you like fighting so much, then all of you—come with me to the Soul Duel Arena."
"I want to see what qualifications you have to ignore Shrek Academy's rules."
Zhang Lexuan ignored Xu Sanshi lying on the ground.
Instead, she called Tang Feng and Bei Bei to head to the Soul Duel Arena together.
"So this is 'beat the small one, and the big one shows up'?"
Tang Feng smiled faintly.
Even though the opponent was Zhang Lexuan, he wasn't afraid in the slightest.
After all, once they entered the Soul Duel Arena, he could simply concede once his soul power ran out.
Before that—
Even Zhang Lexuan at her peak wouldn't be able to defeat him.
Let alone Zhang Lexuan in her current condition, with injuries not yet fully healed.
"It'll be the two of you fighting me."
Zhang Lexuan's expression remained calm.
She had originally wanted to test their strength anyway.
It could only be said that her timing was perfect—she just happened to catch them in the middle of fighting.
In fact, Zhang Lexuan had arrived long ago.
She simply hadn't shown herself, quietly watching Tang Feng beat Xu Sanshi—and then beat Bei Bei for a while.
"The two of us fighting Sister Lexuan?"
"Should we add Sanshi as well?"
Bei Bei wore a bitter expression.
As a Soul Elder, he couldn't even beat Tang Feng.
And now he was supposed to fight a Soul Douluo?
Worse yet—
the strongest Inner Court senior sister, who possessed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
"That's fine too."
Zhang Lexuan didn't care at all.
In her eyes, the difference between two people and three people was practically nonexistent.
"No need. I won't heal him."
Tang Feng directly refused.
Then, with a light tap of his right hand—
Green radiance flowed like water, surging forth and instantly enveloping Bei Bei.
A vast life force bloomed—
as if returning to the primordial age when all things were born, vitality flourishing, and creation unfolding.
Bei Bei's injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly returning to perfect condition.
Aside from his slightly disheveled clothes, there was no difference from before the beating.
"Ultimate Life Attribute!"
"What terrifying healing power…"
Zhang Lexuan was genuinely startled.
If she hadn't seen wrong—
Tang Feng hadn't even summoned his martial soul.
He had already reached the level where he could freely mobilize his martial soul's power at will.
Such techniques were usually only seen among Title Douluo-level powerhouses.
For example, Mu En could mobilize vast Light-attribute power without summoning his martial soul.
"Tang Feng… you really are a healing Soul Master!"
Bei Bei covered his face.
The so-called Outer Court Twin Stars—
He, the strongest attacker, had been beaten by a healing Soul Master.
And Xu Sanshi, known as the strongest defense, had his armor shattered by a single punch and palm strike.
"If you don't believe me…"
"I can beat you into critical condition and heal you immediately."
Tang Feng revealed a gentle smile.
He had a fine virtue—
He didn't like killing.
But beating someone half to death, healing them, then beating them half to death again—
repeating the cycle—
until the opponent completely broke down and chose self-destruction?
That was acceptable.
"No, no need."
Bei Bei shook his head vigorously—
like a giant rattle drum.
He had no desire to lie next to Xu Sanshi.
Earlier, Tang Feng had clearly held back for Tang Ya's sake.
"Stop dawdling. Follow me to the Soul Duel Arena."
Zhang Lexuan ordered.
There was another reason for her doing this—
to bring the two of them closer together.
After jointly fighting her, they would at least share the bond of comrades-in-arms.
"Who is this Inner Court senior sister?"
Wang Dong tugged at Tang Feng's sleeve.
He never imagined that after beating senior students,
Tang Feng would go on to fight an Inner Court senior sister.
This guy's freshman experience was nothing like theirs.
"The old man's great-granddaughter."
Tang Feng explained calmly.
That he could guess Mu En's identity wasn't surprising.
But that he could deduce Zhang Lexuan was the "great-granddaughter" Mu En mentioned—
That genuinely surprised Zhang Lexuan.
She hadn't said a word, yet Tang Feng guessed correctly.
"So… that makes us on the same side?"
Wang Dong finally relaxed.
With that relationship, Tang Feng probably wouldn't get beaten too badly.
"Not really."
"She genuinely wants to beat me—because Bei Bei was raised by her."
Tang Feng said casually.
As if he wasn't the one about to be beaten at all.
"Ah… there's that kind of relationship too."
"Should I call that old grandpa to save you?"
Wang Dong whispered.
Unfortunately—
With her cultivation level, every word was heard clearly by Zhang Lexuan.
Even Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao heard it.
"It's fine."
"I also want to see how the Inner Court's senior sister compares to the Star Luo Empire's Guardian Title Douluo."
Tang Feng remained calm and composed.
This completely stunned Wang Dong.
"Sister Xiao Ya… what does Tang Feng mean?"
Wang Dong hurried over.
Every word made sense individually—
But when put together, he couldn't understand a thing.
"I'm not entirely sure either."
"Jiujio once mentioned in her letters that the four Guardian Title Douluos of the Star Luo Empire all suffered losses at Xiao Feng's hands."
Tang Ya spoke casually.
She had originally thought Princess Xu Jiujio was joking.
Now… it didn't seem like it.
"He's even fought Title Douluos?!"
Wang Dong sucked in a sharp breath.
If Tang Feng had beaten Title Douluos—
and Tang Feng had beaten him—
Then did that mean he was basically equivalent to a Title Douluo?
Looking at it that way—
Surviving a beating from Tang Feng without injury was actually pretty impressive.
That Outer Court turtle senior really was useless—
getting flattened by a punch and a palm strike, yet still trying to play rich young master chasing girls.
"Nannan, when the holidays come, we'll go home with you."
"Let Xiao Feng cure Auntie's illness."
Tang Ya held Jiang Nannan's hand.
Everyone had heard it clearly—
The Inner Court senior sister said Xiao Feng possessed the Ultimate Life Attribute.
And with just a single breath,
he had fully healed Bei Bei.
"Come with me into the Inner Court."
Zhang Lexuan didn't act in the Outer Court.
As the Inner Court's senior sister, she had to give them some face.
Grabbing one in each hand,
she leapt over Sea God Lake—
landing directly on the Inner Court's island.
Leaving Tang Ya, Wang Dong, and the others staring blankly at one another.
Within Sea God Lake.
Inside the Inner Court Soul Duel Arena.
Zhang Lexuan stood still, not summoning her martial soul.
She merely beckoned to the two of them.
As a Soul Douluo,
she wouldn't summon her martial soul just to deal with a Soul Elder and a Soul Ancestor—
That would be bullying.
"You two, attack together."
Zhang Lexuan was absolutely serious about the assessment—
There would be no holding back.
"Xiao Feng, use your full strength."
"Otherwise, Sister Lexuan will beat us miserably."
Bei Bei knew Zhang Lexuan too well.
Inner Court seniors were required to go all out during assessments.
If they didn't—
Zhang Lexuan would leave them with a very deep impression.
Before Bei Bei even entered the Outer Court first year,He had already received a loving yet brutal beating from her.
