Transforming into the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong

The Dean of Notting City Junior Academy gave the order, and an Enforcement Squad composed of over-twentieth-level Soul Grand Masters leaped onto the arena.

"Hold on, may I ask the Dean, what crime has this student actually committed?"

Sun Sheng showed no fear, demanding loudly.

The Dean narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You gravely injured fellow students and alumni—is that not a crime?"

Who was Boss Xiao?

He was the son of the Lord of Notting City, and his grandfather was a Red Cardinal of Martial Soul Hall, wielding supreme authority.

Sun Sheng had severely wounded Xiao Chenyu on his turf, shattering both arms to the bone, leaving him crippled for life.

How could he explain this to the Lord of the City?

Moreover, Tang San possessed the rare Twin Martial Souls, with limitless potential.

If he could capture Sun Sheng and vent on his behalf, perhaps he might leave a favorable impression in Tang San's heart.

And if he could curry favor and build a connection, even better.

"Dean, arena challenges inevitably involve accidental severe injuries—this is normal on the Douluo Continent. What crime has this student committed?"

Sun Sheng was unafraid, still answering firmly.

Six years of tempering had forged his will into iron, unbreakable.

With the system at his side and the Million-Year Spirit Ring empowering him, why would he fear?

"You could have held back and simply defeated them. Yet you struck ruthlessly, intent on killing them."

"Is that not deliberate injury?"

"This Dean will not listen to your sophistry. You can explain yourself to the Lord of the City later."

"You lot, what are you waiting for!"

The Dean couldn't be bothered to waste time and ordered the Enforcement Squad to act again.

"Fine, Notting City Junior Academy. Since that's the case, this young master won't hold back either."

Sun Sheng watched the swarming Enforcement Squad, took a deep breath, bared a fierce look, gripped his staff with both hands, and slammed it down with all his might.

At that moment, all four skills of the Million-Year Spirit Ring activated simultaneously.

Sun Sheng was like a war god, relying on his mere nineteenth-level one-ring Soul Grand Master strength to force back the entire over-twentieth-level Enforcement Squad with a single staff strike and flee.

Since the Enforcement Squad knew well how formidable Sun Sheng was, they dared not engage him head-on and could only watch him leave.

After all, even Tang San and Xiao Wu had fallen to his hands, and Liu Long and Boss Xiao had been gravely wounded by a single blow.

"Think you can leave!"

"You, you, and you—bring him back!"

Seeing Sun Sheng about to escape, the Dean pointed out three Mentors and ordered them to pursue.

The three Mentors exchanged glances, shook their heads helplessly, and gave chase.

There was no choice; a higher rank crushed a lower one.

They had to obey the Dean's orders.

"Sun Sheng, you might as well surrender."

All three Mentors were Soul Elders with three spirit rings each, their cultivation formidable.

In the blink of an eye, they blocked Sun Sheng's escape route.

"Surrender? Dream on!"

Sun Sheng sneered coldly, gripping his staff with both hands and striking at the Mentor with the weakest Soul Power level.

Now, he had only one thought: escape.

Though the Million-Year Spirit Ring aided him, it wasn't enough to defeat three Soul Elders.

And the powerful Dean had yet to act.

He had no choice but to flee.

In truth, Sun Sheng still underestimated his own combat strength.

The boost and suppression from the Million-Year Spirit Ring were enough to let him overpower opponents far above his level, defeating Soul Elders or even Soul Ancestors.

But his cultivation had surged too quickly, leaving him unable to truly gauge his own power in such a short time.

Otherwise, the thought of fleeing would never have crossed his mind.

Instead, he would have clashed with the teachers and students of Notting City, making his presence felt.

The three Soul Elder-level Mentors, seasoned educators, were not only powerful but also rich in combat experience, with impeccable teamwork.

In their eyes, Sun Sheng's resistance was nothing more than that of a stubborn cockroach.

"Fine, fine, fine. You leave me no choice."

Sun Sheng watched the three Mentors' coordinated strength and seamless teamwork, then called out three praises in a row.

Without hesitation, he released his second Martial Soul and initiated possession.

In the blink of an eye, thick brownish-yellow fur covered Sun Sheng from head to toe, his features shifting into something resembling a monkey's face, with a furry tail sprouting from his rear.

Ruyi Jingu Bang in hand, he radiated a savage, violent aura.

The sight alone made hearts tremble.

Quite a few students were so frightened by the aura pouring off Sun Sheng that they wet themselves.

They collapsed to the ground, shaking uncontrollably.

Though Sun Sheng possessed Twin Martial Souls, they were essentially half-Martial Souls in nature.

This allowed him to wield the power of both souls simultaneously.

If anyone from the modern world saw Sun Sheng's transformation now, they'd surely exclaim, "Isn't that the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, from Flower Fruit Mountain Water Curtain Cave?"

That's right—at this moment, Sun Sheng had fully transformed into Sun Wukong.

With the Ruyi Jingu Bang in hand, the world was his to command.

"Martial Soul Possession—Twin Martial Souls!"

The Dean gasped in shock at the sight of Sun Sheng's transformation.

He never imagined Sun Sheng's talent could be this terrifying.

"Th-Third Brother, is Sun Sheng also a Twin Martial Soul user?"

Xiao Wu, supporting Tang San, stared at the scene before her and asked in astonishment.

"Mm."

Tang San nodded, his expression growing even more grim.

Through his Purple Demon Eyes, he had just detected that Sun Sheng's power had undergone earth-shattering changes after his Martial Soul Possession.

The violent, raging energy within him sent a chill of danger through Tang San.

What surprised him even more was that Sun Sheng had apparently been holding back earlier.

Could it be that the gap between him and Sun Sheng was truly this vast?

At that moment, as the number one protagonist of Douluo Continent, he sank into deep thought.

"Third Brother, but I feel like this isn't his second Martial Soul—it's him."

Xiao Wu also sensed the violent energy inside Sun Sheng, feeling an endless pressure from it.

That pressure came from the bloodline flowing within her own veins.

After all, she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transformed into human form.

The bloodline running through her was still that of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Even she could feel the pressure in her bloodline.

That alone showed just how terrifying the violent power inside Sun Sheng truly was.

This made Xiao Wu begin to suspect that Sun Sheng might not be a real human at all.

Instead, he was like her—someone transformed from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Only, Sun Sheng's soul beast bloodline was even stronger than hers.

"Him?"

"Xiao Wu, don't jump to conclusions. That's impossible."

Tang San shook his head with a wry smile upon hearing this.

Xiao Wu only gave him a meaningful glance before falling silent.

She certainly wouldn't reveal her true identity to Tang San, nor would she bother to explain further.

Seeing this, Tang San's whole body stiffened.

Though he didn't understand the meaning behind Xiao Wu's final look, he could sense a trace of fear in it.

He attributed it to the power Sun Sheng had just displayed.

Thinking Xiao Wu was scared, he pulled her into his arms and comforted her, "Xiao Wu, be good, don't be afraid. Third Brother is here. I won't let anything happen to you."

"Mm."

Xiao Wu nodded obediently and buried her head deeper into his chest.

"All of you, get out of Old Sun's way!"

Feeling the endless power surging within him, Sun Sheng was exhilarated. Mimicking Sun Wukong's tone, he swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang in a sweeping arc.

In an instant, the Ruyi Jingu Bang lengthened and thickened, forcing back the three perfectly coordinated Mentors and everyone nearby by dozens of meters.

The terrifying force and momentum of the staff kept them from daring to approach.

One look and it was clear—the power was immense.

Sun Sheng saw that no one else was around, and quickly fled, leaving words for Tang San and Xiao Wu as he departed.

"Tang San, we'll fight another time."

"Xiao Wu, think it over carefully."

"Rest assured, I'm absolutely more formidable than Tang San."

"We'll meet again if fate allows!"
