The two-person team's first battle ended just like that, in a flash. It ended so quickly that the vast majority of the people present did not even understand what had happened.
Among them was even Ling Luochen, his teammate.
Yes. As his teammate, she had actually failed to understand how they had won!
When the referee teacher called for the match to begin, her first thought had been to release her Martial Soul and prepare to use her ice-attribute Martial Soul, stacked with soul skills, to create a battlefield advantageous to herself.
But after she released her Martial Soul, she saw that Jiang Ming beside her had vanished!
Then, by the time she found Jiang Ming, all three opponents had already fallen, and the referee announced their victory!
Throughout the entire process, Ling Luochen was somewhat dazed.
"You... How exactly did you defeat them?!"
Ling Luochen caught up to Jiang Ming, who was walking ridiculously fast ahead, her eyes full of confusion.
She wanted to figure out what on earth had happened!
Although the result was that they had won, winning in such a muddled way was not the outcome she wanted to see.
"What happened?"
Jiang Ming turned his head and glanced at Ling Luochen. After thinking for a moment, he said softly:
"It's just that I punched that Assault type Battle Soul Grandmaster on the other side, then gave the other two a chop each, and they fell. Then we won."
Mm. Summed up in a few brief words, it could almost be said to have covered the key events of the entire three-second match.
However, after hearing his explanation, Ling Luochen still looked completely lost.
He punched that Battle Soul Grandmaster once? He fell after one punch?!
That was an Assault type Battle Soul Master! And an Assault type Battle Soul Master in his twenties! It was not as if he were a Food Type or Support System Soul Master! He fell after one punch?!
What kind of joke was that!
"But... how is that possible? He was an Assault type in his twenties—"
Ling Luochen still wanted to press him, but Jiang Ming smiled at her and said:
"I told you, we can sweep our way to the Freshman Assessment championship. So don't ask. Trust me, all right?"
Jiang Ming's voice sounded very soft and comfortable, but the information contained in his words was not as light as his tone.
Ling Luochen subconsciously nodded.
If she had not believed it at all before, then after experiencing this match, she had no choice but to believe.
One had to know that the team they had just fought had two Soul Grandmasters. Among the more than four hundred teams in the entire Freshman Assessment, they could be considered above average!
And yet Jiang Ming had dealt with them directly, all by himself, in three seconds!
Looking at it this way, it was not impossible for the two of them to sweep through the entire Freshman Assessment!
Ling Luochen was utterly shaken.
And the man who had shaken her so deeply had already walked far away by now.
"Hey, where are you going? Aren't we going to watch the other teams' matches?"
Ling Luochen shouted loudly, wanting to catch up.
But Jiang Ming was too fast. She could not catch up at all. She could only hear Jiang Ming's voice drifting over from the distance.
"No need to watch. Go back and rest, or go watch by yourself if you want. I still have things to do. I'm leaving first!"
At the Soul Tool Department, Jiang Ming found another laboratory and began making Soul Tools.
The laboratories in the Soul Tool Department were not fixed for any particular person's use. Aside from the teachers' laboratories, any other laboratory could be used as long as it was empty and one registered for it.
Jiang Ming casually found a laboratory and began making a class four Fixed Soul Cannonball.
A laboratory chosen casually naturally was not as convenient to use as Teacher Fan Yu's laboratory, but to Jiang Ming, the impact was not great.
Time passed bit by bit, and another new day arrived.
Today was different from yesterday. Yesterday, there had only been one match, which counted as adapting to the rhythm of the assessment.
But today, there were a full five matches!
It was still District 13. Ling Luochen had appeared there early and was waiting, while Jiang Ming only arrived at a leisurely pace ten minutes before the match began.
"Can't you take this a little more seriously? If we're disqualified because you're late, what a huge loss that would be!"
Ling Luochen said with some worry.
After yesterday's match, she already had great confidence in winning the championship. If the championship slipped away because they were late, they would lose out terribly!
"It's fine. My calculations are very accurate. See? I'm still ten minutes early."
Jiang Ming looked confident.
Ling Luochen felt somewhat helpless. Jiang Ming was strong, yes, but his attitude toward the Freshman Assessment really was far too careless.
Since she could not persuade Jiang Ming, Ling Luochen simply gave up on trying and directly started talking about today's match arrangements.
"We have five matches today. I know you're very strong, but five matches in a row will be a huge test of both our Soul Power and stamina. I think—"
"Five matches?!"
Jiang Ming's eyes widened, and his brows drew together slightly.
Having to fight five matches meant they had to wait until all five matches were over before they could leave.
In other words, he might have to stay here for the entire morning today, and might even have to wait until the afternoon.
At the thought, Jiang Ming's face turned bitter.
Wasn't this way too much of a waste of time?!
Ling Luochen was a little surprised when she saw the pained look on Jiang Ming's face.
Ever since she had met Jiang Ming, she had never seen that expression on this arrogant guy before. But there were five matches today, after all. Even if he was powerful, it was normal for him to be a little worried.
Thinking that, Ling Luochen wanted to say a few words to comfort Jiang Ming.
"Five matches are actually nothing. The other groups have to as well."
"Waiting for five matches is too time-consuming! Tell me, can we have the referee directly line up all five matches for us? Or can we just have the five groups we're fighting today come at us together?"
Jiang Ming suddenly said, considering whether that method was feasible.
Hearing this, the corner of Ling Luochen's mouth twitched, and the expression on her face froze outright.
Sure enough, this guy was still as arrogant and conceited as ever!
"I don't know! Don't ask me!"
Ling Luochen indicated that she did not want to talk.
Line up all five matches? Wouldn't that be exhausting?
As for having the five groups they were facing today come at them together—two against three was enough. Wasn't two against fifteen a little too ridiculous?!
Very soon, Jiang Ming's team's first match of the day began.
Before going onstage, Jiang Ming even specially went to find the teacher at the side who handled negotiations and told him his idea.
Unfortunately, the referee teacher rejected him without the slightest mercy.
Clearly, even though he had witnessed Jiang Ming's formidable strength yesterday, he would not do something that violated the assessment rules.
Moreover, the matches for this assessment had all been decided by drawing lots. The teams Jiang Ming and the others were going to face next were currently competing too, so how could he possibly call them over for him?
On the field, Jiang Ming looked disappointed. Facing the three-person team before him, he no longer intended to instantly defeat them.
After all, once he finished fighting, he would still have to go wait at the side. He might as well play around with them a little.
