A Team with Ideas!

"You make the first move. Last time ended too quickly, and I didn't get to see what this teammate of mine can really do."

Jiang Ming patted Ling Luochen on the shoulder, then stepped off to the side, ready to watch her performance.

Strictly speaking, in this kind of team assessment, teammates were supposed to cooperate and fight together, but Jiang Ming really had no interest in doing that.

He was a Soul Ancestor, with a Soul Power Level in the forties, plus a top-tier Body Martial Soul and Twin Martial Souls. Joining hands with a Great Soul Master to fight the other side's Great Soul Master and even Soul Masters with only a dozen or so levels of soul power...

It was honestly hard to get excited about that!

"Huh? You're not going to fight?!"

Ling Luochen looked in surprise at Jiang Ming, who was clearly preparing to watch the show from the side, and suddenly grew a little flustered.

Judging from Jiang Ming's performance yesterday, if he made a move, this team in front of them—made up of two Soul Masters and one Great Soul Master—definitely wouldn't escape the fate of being instantly defeated either.

But now that Jiang Ming wasn't going to fight, Ling Luochen really did feel a little panicked!

Jiang Ming could fight three people alone without even using his Martial Soul or Soul Skills, but she couldn't!

"Mm, I'll watch first. Just go ahead and fight. We won't lose anyway."

Jiang Ming said with a light laugh.

"Captain... what are they... doing?"

On the other side of the field, the three people opposing Jiang Ming's group saw the strange movements of Jiang Ming and Ling Luochen and all began making guesses.

"I feel like they're having a disagreement! Look, that boy walked off to the side. It looks like he doesn't plan to fight."

One team member looked at Jiang Ming not far away and whispered.

The referee had not called for the match to begin yet, so they still could not release their Martial Souls.

"Too arrogant! This is simply too arrogant!"

The captain's expression darkened slightly, and he was extremely angry at Jiang Ming's contemptuous behavior toward his opponents.

"But Captain... I heard they instantly defeated a team with two Two-ring Great Soul Masters yesterday! It was that Jiang Ming who did it. If he makes a move, won't we be instantly defeated too?"

Another team member asked worriedly.

The news that Jiang Ming had fought three people alone yesterday without even releasing his Martial Soul had long since spread throughout the entire freshman area. Although many people said they didn't believe it, none of them particularly wanted to run into a monster of that level!

Hearing his teammate say something that shook morale, the captain immediately turned and glared at him, saying in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense! Those people exaggerated it so much—it has to be fake! Instantly defeating two Great Soul Masters without using a Martial Soul? What, do you think he's a Titled Douluo?!"

This captain clearly did not believe it, nor was he willing to believe it.

As a genius able to enter Shrek Academy, the pride in his heart was no less than anyone else's! He did not believe there could be someone this strong among the freshmen! Even less would he allow his own team to be instantly defeated!

"All right, all right, both sides stop talking. Match, begin!"

The referee teacher had sharp ears. Standing in the middle, he had heard the discussion from both teams.

However, when he heard that the team with only one Two-ring Great Soul Master did not believe Jiang Ming's battle record, he could not help shaking his head slightly.

Indeed, if he had not seen it with his own eyes, even he would not have dared believe that a freshman could do something like that!

Unfortunately, if his old eyes had not gone blurry, then Jiang Ming's strength should not have been exaggerated in the slightest.

Still, he felt that Jiang Ming's sudden act of throwing his teammate under the cart was a little inappropriate.

This was supposed to be a perfectly good team battle. How had it turned into an Individual Battle for you?

On the field, as the referee teacher called for the match to begin, Ling Luochen no longer had the energy to condemn Jiang Ming's unrighteous behavior.

Her gaze sharpened, and an icy chill surged out from her body.

At the same time, two yellow soul rings rose from beneath her feet, declaring her identity as a Two-ring Great Soul Master!

"Her Martial Soul is ice, huh..."

Jiang Ming, standing only a few meters away from Ling Luochen, nodded and was not affected by Ling Luochen's freezing aura.

Leaving aside the fact that his Soul Power Level was too high for this cold aura to have much effect on him, just this degree of cold alone was something Jiang Ming, who had grown up in Clear Water City extremely close to the Far North, could completely adapt to!

If they were comparing cold, the Far North was far colder than this!

"First Soul Skill: Ice Staff!"

As a soft chant rang out, a staff made entirely of ice crystals appeared in Ling Luochen's hand.

The instant this staff appeared, the temperature around Ling Luochen dropped once again, and the cold aura began spreading outward. Frost also appeared on the ground.

At this time, the three-person team opposite them had also summoned their Martial Souls.

Four yellow soul rings were divided among the three of them.

The captain was a two-ring Assault type Battle Soul Master, and his Martial Soul was the Ironclad Savage Bull! It was a Soul Beast with both powerful offense and defense!

Of the other two, one was a Food System Soul Master with tofu, while the other was a Control System Soul Master with the Mystic Moon Zither.

None of the three Martial Souls were anything impressive. In a one-on-one fight, Ling Luochen was confident she could take out any one of them within a few exchanges!

But one against three—she really wasn't confident!

Very soon, the two Yellow Soul Rings on the Soul Master with the Ironclad Savage Bull Martial Soul Possession lit up at once!

In an instant, his eyes turned crimson, making him look as if he had gone berserk. At the same time, the huge illusion of a pair of bull horns appeared above his head!

Clearly, these were his two soul skills!

Not only that, he was also biting down on a piece of soft white tofu, which provided him with a ten-percent boost to his soul power!

With berserk added to the tofu, the Soul Power Fluctuation of this captain had already reached the level of a Soul Elder!

And while this captain charged over, the soul ring of the Mystic Moon Zither Soul Master behind him also lit up. A melodious note crossed a distance of more than ten meters, directly affecting Ling Luochen's casting speed!

The frost spread across the ground only slowed the Ironclad Savage Bull Soul Master's speed for a brief moment, but he still quickly charged right up in front of Ling Luochen!

Ling Luochen looked at the bull horns that were about to ram into her, her gaze cold and clear, without the slightest panic.

"Second Soul Skill: Ice Armor Protection!"

Crystalline armor covered Ling Luochen's entire body, but Ling Luochen had no intention of relying on the armor to take this blow head-on. She could not withstand it.

Her steps were light and nimble, like a princess of ice and snow, and with the help of the now-slick ground, she dodged the attack by the narrowest of margins.

But the moment she dodged, she was once again affected by the Mystic Moon Zither Soul Master not far away, and her figure stalled for an instant.

However, just as Ling Luochen thought this savage bull would seize the chance to attack her, the fellow actually made a miraculous turn and charged straight toward Jiang Ming at the side!

"Hm?"

When Jiang Ming saw this savage bull charging toward him, he was somewhat stunned.

Immediately afterward, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile, and he gave an objective assessment of the savage bull's actions.

"Mm. Clever!"

This really was clever! He had used his strongest power to attack Ling Luochen first, and if that one strike failed, he could still use his momentum to attack Jiang Ming directly! Catching him off guard!

Interesting!
