Golden Blood!

Hearing Mu Jin agree, a sly smile flashed across Zhou Yi's pretty face.

You idiot, you fell for it!

That's what you get for trying to steal Fan Yu from me. This time, I'm definitely going to rip you off good!

Zhou Yi considered what she could use to fleece Mu Jin. Right now, both of them had only just come out of the Inner Court to become teachers in the Outer Court, so neither was especially wealthy. If the wager was too steep, Mu Jin would definitely back out!

So.

After thinking it over for a while, Zhou Yi set the bet at ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!

As disciples who had only just come out of the Inner Court, they did not have huge sums of money, but they could still scrape together ten thousand Gold Soul Coins. However, that was already their limit.

When she heard that Zhou Yi had set the wager at ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, Mu Jin hesitated for a moment.

She looked at Jiang Ming and Ling Luochen below the stage, then glanced at Gongyang Mo, who had just broken through to Soul Elder in her own class.

Although the other side had a Soul Elder, and a Soul Elder with two Thousand-Year Soul Rings at that, her side also had a Soul Elder, and three people besides. No matter how she thought about it, their odds of victory were high.

In the end, she nodded and agreed to the wager!

Soon, the match began.

Gongyang Mo released his Martial Soul at once. The brilliant Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul appeared, and three Soul Rings—two yellow and one purple—flickered around him.

The other two also released their Martial Souls at the same time.

Both of them were Two-ring Great Soul Masters, one an Assault type and the other an Agility type.

The Assault type Battle Soul Master was called Chen Zifeng. His Martial Soul was a slender blood-red sword named Soul Chasing Sword! That bloody aura wrapped around the sword's sharp edge, making it look packed with offensive power!

The other Agility type Soul Master was called Xixi, and her Martial Soul was the Lightning Leopard! After Martial Soul Possession, wisps of dazzling lightning coiled all around her body!

"Attack head-on!"

Gongyang Mo shouted, and all three Soul Rings lit up!

Their plan was simple: force their way through directly!

Their side had one more person than the opponent, and according to the information they had gathered earlier, the other side's main combat strength was that boy, who seemed to possess extremely powerful attack power and an ability that affected the heart.

And on their side, they had an absolutely powerful Support Type Soul Elder! With Gongyang Mo's support, the other two were basically equivalent to Soul Elder level as well!

Under these circumstances, they could end the fight quickly!

"Xixi, I'll leave that Ice-attribute Soul Master in the back to you. Take her down fast! I'll hold him off for a while!"

A flash of bloody light passed through Chen Zifeng's eyes. The two Yellow Soul Rings on his Soul Chasing Sword lit up, and the already sharp Soul Chasing Sword became even more piercing. Combined with the support Gongyang Mo provided, the power of this sword reached its peak at this moment!

He did not underestimate Jiang Ming. Or rather, a Soul Elder with two Thousand-Year Soul Rings was someone no one could afford to look down on!

All these movements were only to hold Jiang Ming back for a little while!

As long as Xixi dealt with the Ice-attribute Soul Master in the back, the situation would become three against one!

At that point, forget a Soul Elder—even against a Soul Ancestor, they would have the confidence to fight!

"Oh, coming in that fierce right from the start?"

Jiang Ming looked at the Soul Chasing Sword charging straight toward him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Martial Soul, activate!"

Three Soul Rings, one yellow and two purple, rose up, and the First Soul Ring flashed with light at once.

"Heart Tremor!"

An invisible ripple shook through the field and quickly reached Chen Zifeng.

"Hm?!"

Jiang Ming frowned, confusion in his eyes.

His Soul Skill had actually failed to take effect!

Did the other side have some means of protecting the heart?

No, impossible. Even if he had a method to protect his heart, the other two couldn't all have one too!

After thinking for a second, Jiang Ming turned his gaze to Gongyang Mo, who had already flown into the sky.

At this moment, all three Soul Rings on Gongyang Mo's body were lit, meaning he was continuously providing three kinds of enhancement to his teammates.

"Looks like one of his Soul Skills has the effect of making them immune to my First Soul Skill."

Jiang Ming thought to himself, but he had no time to deal with that guy now.

Chen Zifeng's Soul Chasing Sword was already right in front of him!

"In that case, I can only get a little rough."

Jiang Ming sighed, then said softly:

"Third Soul Skill: Golden Blood!"

In an instant, the third Soul Ring on Jiang Ming's body shone with dazzling light!

This was a Thousand-Year Soul Ring with an age as high as eight thousand years! Jiang Ming had obtained it when his Soul Power was at Level 35, and the effect of this Golden Blood Soul Skill was freakishly powerful!

A one hundred and forty percent increase to all attributes!

One had to know that Jiang Ming's Soul Power Level was already at forty-two!

A one hundred and forty percent boost put him at the level of a Soul King! Added to his already formidable Martial Soul, Jiang Ming in this state could even exchange a couple of moves with an Attack-type Soul Emperor!

"What?!"

Sensing the Soul Power Fluctuation from the competition arena below, Yan Shaozhe's eyes instantly widened. It was as if there were thorns in his seat; he shot to his feet at once.

"That aura just now was close to the level of a Soul King! My heavens, is this really the Outer Court Freshman Assessment, or is it the Outer Court graduation assessment?!"

Du Weilun likewise could no longer sit still. The expression on his face was even more exaggerated than Yan Shaozhe's, almost turning blank with shock!

Below the stage, the terrifying aura erupting from Jiang Ming's body was suppressed after only an instant. Teacher Zhou had said to keep his soul power down to the Soul Elder level, so he would suppress it.

And so, that powerful aura that had appeared in that instant lasted less than a second before Jiang Ming actively forced it back down.

Of course, what he suppressed was only his Soul Power Level. As for the boosts in other areas, Jiang Ming did not suppress those.

With all his attributes greatly increased, Chen Zifeng's Soul Chasing Sword was smacked straight back by Jiang Ming with a single slap.

Stacked with two Hundred-Year Soul Skills and boosted by Gongyang Mo, the Soul Chasing Sword's current power was enough to directly defeat even a late-stage Soul Elder.

But to Jiang Ming, it was not a big problem.

After sending the Soul Chasing Sword flying with one slap, Jiang Ming's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Chen Zifeng as if he had teleported.

"Not bad power, but you're still a little short if you want to deal with me."

In his Golden Blood state, Jiang Ming's body shimmered with a faint Golden Light, like a golden War God!

"Up you go!"

Jiang Ming grabbed the collar at Chen Zifeng's chest, took a few great strides, and with terrifying strength, directly threw Chen Zifeng out of the arena!

The first round—just one round—and the Attack-type Soul Master was eliminated!

Gongyang Mo, flying in the air, saw this scene and was instantly dumbfounded!

Was he dreaming?

With his support, Chen Zifeng could now be said to be an Attack-type Battle Soul Master!

But... but Chen Zifeng had not even lasted one round before being thrown straight out of the arena?!

Gongyang Mo could hardly believe his own eyes!

And it was not just him. The teachers on the stage and the students around them all, in perfect unison, made the same motion: they rubbed their eyes.

Had this battle really unfolded so suddenly, so quickly?

On the stage, after staring blankly for several seconds, Mu Jin's expression instantly turned ugly. She glared at Zhou Yi beside her and said through gritted teeth:

"You set me up!"
