Chapter 192: Leisure and Comfort

Chapter 192: Leisure and Comfort

Just as Wang Si finished off an opponent, a nearby bush suddenly parted.

A panicked figure burst out from within.

This student was bathed in blood, having clearly endured a grueling battle.

He had a pair of white wings on his back, but instead of feathers, these wings were adorned with white fur patterned with black stripes.

The same stripes were also present all over his body, and if it weren't for his human form, Wang Si would have thought he was a "wild beast" arranged by Shrek Academy.

This student was tall and robust, and despite his multiple wounds, his sprint stirred up gusts of wind.

He possessed a tiger-type spirit soul, and one with a rare pair of wings at that. Wang Si knew that among the few winged tigers he had encountered, not a single one had been weak.

The Mystical Shadowcat's spirit fusion ability, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and so on—they were all formidable.

Just as the winged student burst out from the bushes, several figures shot out from behind.

This small team consisted of three people, each with their unique traits. The one leading the group was the most striking.

He was a youth clad entirely in black, his lithe form enshrouded by a torrent of darkness that obscured his features.

Compared to the formidable presence of the winged tiger, this youth moved without making a sound, as if the light around him was devoured by the blackness that clung to his body.

His body flickered, leaving afterimages in its wake as he moved with incredible speed.

The winged student in front seemed too flustered or too exhausted from soul power to take to the skies.

The two trailing behind the leader had varying appearances and were slightly slower in their pursuit.

The leader was quickly gaining on the winged tiger soul master.

Sensing the murderous intent from behind, the winged tiger soul master, who was at the heart of this chase, reacted swiftly.

With his wings, he flipped himself in the air.

His body then erupted with a dazzling display of black and white light, his purple third soul ring shining brightly. His body suddenly expanded in size.

The black and white fur on his body was now outlined by a blinding golden light, and with a furious roar, he abruptly twisted his body in the air.

He swung his tail to distract his pursuers and then changed direction, charging towards the incoming black attack.

However, his counterattack had no effect. A wisp of black light burst forth, and the black-shadowed youth's speed remained unabated.

In the next moment, there was a loud "bang," and the winged tiger soul master was sent flying, crashing harshly onto the ground.

The impact caused his body to skid backwards, and his wings suffered a fracture from the fall.

The black shadow slowly stepped forward, the black mist around him dissipating slightly.

It was only then that Wang Si and the others could make out his appearance—a pale-faced youth.

There was nothing remarkable about his features, except for his gray hair, which drew attention.

His gray eyes gave him an otherworldly aura, as if he belonged to another realm.

In his right hand, he held an oversized scythe adorned with black and crimson runes.

The scythe's handle was exaggeratedly long, measuring over three meters, and its blade spanned more than one and a half meters.

Upon closer inspection, one could see intricate dark purple patterns on the scythe's blade.

These dark purple patterns were captivating, drawing one's eyes and soul irresistibly towards them.

The gray-haired youth raised his scythe and stepped towards the winged tiger soul master.

"Hey, aren't you going to help me out here?"

Black light flickered, and the white light vanished! The young man with the giant scythe reaped the student's life, but dying here wasn't permanent, so no matter how much he yelled, it was useless.

It was only at this moment that the two figures who had been pursuing the gray-haired youth finally caught up to him.

"Captain, you're amazing!

"One of the boys gave the gray-haired youth a thumbs-up.

The leader, however, didn't say a word. He just stared at the guy sitting on the fallen tree, who had been leisurely watching the show the whole time.

The young man twirled the scythe in his hand, eager to give it a try.

But before he could make a move, another group of people emerged from the other side of the bushes.

This group had quite a few members; upon closer inspection, there were seven of them.

It was surprising that they had managed to gather so many people in such a short time after arriving at Shrek Academy; they must have been either extremely strong or had extremely solid connections.

Leading this group of seven was a tall, sturdy boy.

He held a shield in his hand, and below his feet hovered three soul rings—two yellow and one purple. Clearly, he wasn't the captain but rather the team's meat shield.

Following right behind this student was a boy who stood out among the seven. He was clearly the soul figure of this team.

In the blink of an eye, three forces had appeared in the clearing.

After a simple analysis of the situation, the new group of seven identified their target: the trio, because there was a "familiar face" among them.

"There are only forty-seven students left; the arena will shrink by one circle."

Just then, a broadcast sounded in everyone's ears, and as they heard it, their vision blurred. At the same time, a blood-curdling scream rang out.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves surrounded by unfamiliar figures.

The scream had come from the seven-person squad as their soul figure, who had been standing in their midst, suddenly disappeared.

But now wasn't the time for shock. The new students who had appeared around them were the critical factor.

Among this new group, Wang Si spotted the girl and Nali who had been the first to gather. Perhaps because they had spent a lot of time together, the two of them were often inseparable nowadays.

One was a pseudo-loli in her thirties, and the other was a dragon who had lived for who knows how long. It was a wonder how they had found common ground!

Upon seeing Wang Si, the two of them wasted no time in joining him.

"Use an area-of-effect skill to clear the field and quickly end this boring competition."

Wang Si looked at Na'er.

Na'er nodded, and the four elements in the space began to rage violently.

Sensing the agitation in the elements, all the students realized something was amiss and rushed towards Na'er's direction.

Just then, a crisp bell rang out, and the students with insufficient mental strength were immediately frozen in their tracks.

As for those with strong enough mental fortitude who were still charging forward, they continued their relentless assault.

Facing these opponents, Wang Si simply threw the stones in his hand, and several figures turned into white light and vanished...
