End

"Take this!" A somewhat deep voice rang out. The enlarged Wang Jinxi swung a Bone Dragon Claw at Xie Xie. Just as Xie Xie tried to dodge, darkness suddenly appeared around him. He felt as if he had fallen into a swamp, unable to break free.

Everything had happened far too suddenly. Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass had not reached him in time, and Xie Xie could only raise his Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger in front of himself before being sent flying by the blow.

While still in midair, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Tang Wulin even heard the crisp sound of bones breaking in his arm.

"Xie Xie!" Tang Wulin lunged forward and caught Xie Xie's flying body.

Xie Xie's eyes were tightly shut. He had already fallen unconscious, and the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger in his hands vanished. His breathing was weak.

"Bastard, this is only a match!" Tang Wulin roared and charged toward the enormous Bone Dragon without a care for anything else.

As he sprinted forward, a layer of Golden Scales slowly emerged from the fingers of his right arm, making the entire arm seem to swell by a size.

Tang Wulin's pupils had turned completely gold. He stomped his left foot fiercely against the ground, and as he sprinted forward, a layer of Golden Scales slowly emerged from the fingers of his right arm, making the entire arm seem to swell by a size.

Tang Wulin's pupils had turned completely gold. His left foot slammed heavily into the ground, producing a low boom.

He shot toward the mutated Wang Jinxi like a cannonball.

Wang Jinxi's body had changed greatly from before. With a flap of the wings on his back, his two-meter-tall body rose into the air. He twisted his body, whipping his long tail at Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin opened his mouth and exhaled a stream of black mist. His right palm suddenly enlarged, his fingers lengthened, and golden claws rapidly extended, likewise taking the form of a Dragon Claw.

But unlike Wang Jinxi's Bone Dragon Claw, his Dragon Claw had five talons.

Bang! Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw slammed into the Bone Dragon tail, which had distorted even the air around it. Tang Wulin was flung into the air, but golden light also flashed across the Bone Dragon tail.

Tang Wulin curled up in midair and rolled. Several strands of Blue Silver Grass Bound themselves around Wang Jinxi's Bone Dragon body, and borrowing their pulling force, he dragged himself back over. The Golden Dragon Claw descended, striking toward Wang Jinxi's head.

Wang Jinxi brought his two Bone Dragon Claws together and slapped them toward Tang Wulin. But at that moment, a clear dragon roar suddenly sounded from Tang Wulin's mouth.

A faint golden halo flashed outward from his body for an instant, and Wang Jinxi's Bone Dragon Claws immediately slowed.

The Golden Dragon Claw came crashing down.

"Hold back!" Long Hengxu and Ye Yingluo shouted almost simultaneously.

But Tang Wulin had already been overwhelmed by the fury brought on by Xie Xie's severe injuries. He had struck with all his strength, and could no longer pull back the Golden Dragon Claw.

At that moment, a slender hand silently appeared on Tang Wulin's right arm. With a gentle flick, it turned Tang Wulin's body aside. The Golden Dragon Claw, which had originally been aimed at Wang Jinxi's head, instead struck Wang Jinxi's right Bone Dragon Claw.

With a bang, Wang Jinxi's body, nearly twice Tang Wulin's size, was smashed from the air straight into the ground by that claw. Tang Wulin himself was guided by a gentle force and landed to one side.

"Enough!" An icy voice rang in his ears like a morning bell and evening drum, jolting Tang Wulin awake.

Wu Changkong stood beside him, still holding the badly injured Xie Xie in his arms.

Wang Jinxi's Bone Dragon body hit the ground. The tail that had first been struck by Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw snapped with a crisp crack, while his right Bone Dragon Claw hung down broken.

At the same time, Wang Jinxi's mutated body separated amid a black halo, and screams erupted from two mouths at once.

Zhang Yangzi lay on the ground with both legs broken, while Wang Jinxi's right arm had fractured. The excruciating pain made them scream uncontrollably.

This Class Promotion Tournament had turned out so brutal that no one had anticipated it.

"Teacher Wu, how could you let your students commit such violence?" Ye Yingluo had also leaped onto the platform by then. Pointing at Wu Changkong, she roared furiously.

Wu Changkong said to Tang Wulin, "Go." From beginning to end, he did not even glance at Ye Yingluo.

Ye Yingluo had just wanted to pursue them when she suddenly felt an incomparably sharp, freezing aura emanate from Wu Changkong. In an instant, her entire body felt frozen stiff, and she ultimately could not take that step.

Nan Fusheng, Gu Yue, and Tang Wulin, whose arm had already returned to normal, followed Wu Changkong down from the arena.

Long Hengxu stood on the Competition Platform, his expression so gloomy it seemed as though water could drip from it.

This time, something truly serious had happened.

In one Class Promotion Tournament, three people had been severely injured. As the referee, he could not shirk responsibility! This was a major accident not seen in many years.

Wu Changkong carried Xie Xie straight to the Medical Room, where a teacher with a healing-type Martial Soul examined him. Fortunately, they were only stress fractures. Both forearms had been broken, and although the injuries were serious, there was nothing wrong elsewhere. His internal organs had merely suffered some shock, and he needed time to recuperate.

The lingering dark energy within Tang Wulin's body was also dispelled by the teacher.

"Teacher Wu, I..." Tang Wulin looked at Wu Changkong, who stood there in silence with a cold expression, wanting to explain himself.

"No need to say anything. You did nothing wrong. You three, go back and rest." Wu Changkong said flatly.

"Oh. Then Xie Xie..." Tang Wulin asked.

"I'm here." Wu Changkong glanced at him.

The three left the Medical Room together. Seeing Tang Wulin's self-reproachful expression, Nan Fusheng said, "Don't think too much about it. None of us could have expected that situation.

If I'm not mistaken, what Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi used was a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. I heard that Martial Soul Fusion Skills were nearly extinct among Spirit Masters. They could only be used when two Martial Souls were exceptionally compatible."

After Nan Fusheng finished speaking, he saw that Tang Wulin no longer looked quite so self-reproachful, while Gu Yue beside him seemed to want to say something to Tang Wulin but held back. Tactfully, he bid them farewell and returned to the dormitory.

When Nan Fusheng returned to the dormitory, Wang Ba and the other two had not yet come back. Sitting on his bed, Nan Fusheng recalled the earlier battle.

Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw was much stronger than I imagined. Although I had intended to conceal my abilities in this match, my performance was not outstanding at all.

Based on the level I showed in the previous matches, I wonder whether I can still join the Zero Class that has yet to be established.

Indeed, Nan Fusheng had essentially coasted through the entire match. It could even be said that he bore some responsibility for the injuries Xie Xie had suffered.
