He took out the fourth book and tried to focus on five things at once.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao: "..."
Were they not going to stop until they worked themselves to death?!
The next day, at the Soul Dueling Platform.
It was the third day of the freshman assessment, and the final rankings would be decided.
Wang Yan approached them again of his own accord.
"No way, someone else surrendered?" Xiao Xiao widened her eyes. "Our next opponents should be the top team from another district, right? They didn't even dare to fight?"
"Not that." Wang Yan smiled. "I came to ask whether you'd be interested in joining my class after the freshman assessment ends."
So he was here to poach them.
"No need, Teacher Wang. Teacher Zhou treats us very well. If possible, I'd like to remain in her class," Huo Yuhao declined politely.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao said nothing, which amounted to tacit agreement.
Because the three of them had changed in status and now had a more scientific training regimen, they were practically left to their own devices.
Zhou Yi only occasionally came by to act as a dictionary, helping them fill in their gaps.
They got along very happily.
Seeing this, Wang Yan sighed regretfully.
"All right, then. Your opponents this round are Huang Chu Tian's team from Class 7 of First Years. They're somewhat troublesome."
Huang Chu Tian?
"That name sounds familiar." Xiao Xiao rubbed her chin.
"He was the first one to leave the group and mock us on the second day of school. Later, Teacher Zhou cut off their resources, so he transferred classes on his own," Huo Yuhao reminded her.
"Right! The class monitor really does have the best memory!"
"Very well, I'll take this match!" Wang Dong jumped in first.
Xiao Xiao, a step too slow, pursed her lips. Fine, she would give it to her.
The moment they stepped onto the Soul Dueling Platform—
Wang Dong gave the other side no chance to speak and immediately provoked them—
"You're Huang Chu Tian, right? Do you want to prove yourself?"
"I'll fight alone. If the three of you can win, then Class 7 is better than Class 1!"
"Of course, if you're not a man, you can surrender."
The moment those words came out—
Not only did the opposing three change expressions, but Zhou Yi in the stands and Stone, Class 7's homeroom teacher, also had their thoughts stirred.
"Zhou Yi, your students really are arrogant," Stone said sarcastically.
"Not convinced?" Zhou Yi said coldly. "Want to make a bet?"
"Wang Dong against Huang Chu Tian's team of three?" Stone pressed.
"Yes."
Stone was overjoyed.
That old rival took the bait!
The twin sisters beside Huang Chu Tian possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Even if Wang Dong had a ten-thousand-year third Soul Ring, how much Soul Power would a ten-thousand-year soul skill consume?
Their chances of winning were not small!
"Fine." Stone restrained herself. "If you lose, have Fan Yu forge a close-combat Soul Tool for me!"
"No problem. But in return, you'll give me a Soul Bone," Zhou Yi countered.
To be fair—
Stone really did hesitate for a moment.
This bitch heard something? Does she know I recently acquired a Soul Bone?
But when she thought of the twins' Martial Soul Fusion Skill, she gritted her teeth—
"Deal!"
Both of them smiled.
Stone was smiling because Zhou Yi's intelligence was lacking; she did not even know that the Lan Su Su sisters possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Zhou Yi smiled for the same reason. You simply don't understand the strength of the Sacred Fire Cult!
If the academy had not yet made its stance clear, she would have joined the Sacred Fire Cult long ago.
On the Soul Dueling Platform.
Rewrote Zhou Yi and Stone's fates. +500 Luck Value!
Huo Yuhao blinked and looked toward the stands.
Zhou Yi happened to look over and nodded at him from afar.
Stone's lips moved, and his powerful spiritual perception caught the Soul Power transmission—agree to Wang Dong. If you win this match, I'll give you a Soul Bone!
Huang Chu Tian, Lan Su Su, and Lan Luoluo instantly became fired up!
A Soul Bone!
"Good!" Huang Chu Tian shouted. "Come fight!"
Huang Chu Tian slammed his fists against his chest. With Martial Soul Possession, he swelled to 1.8 meters tall, his bulging muscles tearing through his school uniform and exposing his iron-black upper body.
No Martial Souls appeared behind the twin girls. Only their hair lit up.
Were they Body Martial Souls too?
Two yellow Soul Rings rose beneath each of the three, an ideal configuration for the freshman assessment.
Wang Dong also summoned the Light Goddess Butterfly, making the Lan Su Su sisters' eyes light up. What a beautiful Martial Soul, what a handsome young man!
If they had not been in a match, they would have gone over to strike up a conversation.
Wang Dong skimmed low across the ground and charged toward Huang Chu Tian. Even one against three, he took the initiative to attack!
"Bold!"
Huang Chu Tian let out a low roar, leaping three meters into the air as his fists smashed down like hammers toward Wang Dong.
Wang Dong was completely fearless and met him head-on.
Bang!
Huang Chu Tian was sent flying backward, caught by the Lan Su Su sisters' hair. More blue hair surged toward Wang Dong like a tidal wave.
Wang Dong spread the wings on his back. Without using any soul skill, he easily sliced through the Hair Net and pressed his advantage with another charge.
"He's too strong!" Huang Chu Tian shouted. "Quick! Use that move!"
The Lan Su Su sisters turned to face each other and clasped hands, erupting with intense Soul Power fluctuations.
Wang Dong gave a soft sound of surprise. This scene looked so familiar.
When he saw the sisters' four Soul Rings detach from their bodies—
He finally realized—it was a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
The blue hair that had been fluttering dozens of meters away wove itself into a massive Hair Sea net over a hundred meters wide, dropping down over Wang Dong's head.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Heavenly Net!
Using a net to catch a butterfly?
Xiao Xiao took half a step forward, wanting to lend a hand.
Huo Yuhao pressed a hand on her shoulder and stopped her.
"Trust Wang Dong. He can handle it."
"All right."
Within the Hair Sea.
Wang Dong even had time to admire the blue hair filling the sky, reaching up to stroke it.
"It's pretty smooth. You must spend a lot of time taking care of it, huh?"
50,000 words stockpiled.
Advertising on the Soul Dueling Platform! Excited Twins!
Rather than hurry to fight, Wang Dong started recruiting on the spot—
"Are you interested in joining the Sacred Fire Cult?"
"The Physical Education Class we've been promoting lately is one of the pieces of shared knowledge from the Sacred Fire Cult."
"Did you see Xiao Xiao's battle the day before yesterday? A control-type Soul Master took down three opponents alone. She used the Sacred Fire Cult's Tai Chi Fist too."
The vast Hair Sea paused, and the Lan Su Su sisters were a little tempted.
Control-type Soul Masters have dreams of dealing damage too!
Huang Chu Tian charged out of the Hair Sea, his two Soul Rings flashing as he launched a furious sneak attack!
Those twin sisters were his forbidden possessions. How could he allow anyone else to touch them!
But Wang Dong smiled.
Wasn't this practically delivering himself to the door?
He directly dismissed his Martial Soul, leaving only Soul Power coating his hands as he took the initiative to meet Huang Chu Tian, who had activated two hundred-year soul skills.
With a Tai Chi Coiling Hands move, he stuck to Huang Chu Tian's fist and retreated with the force to deflect it. At the same time, he used Hand Strum Pipa to strike the inside of his elbow, making him involuntarily bend his arm and draw back his hand.
Seizing the opportunity, Wang Dong held his palm upright and jabbed Huang Chu Tian in the chest. Piercing through the protective Soul Power with a single point, the force went straight through the gap between his ribs and into his internal organs, causing Huang Chu Tian to lose his breath in agony.
Before he could catch his breath—
Wang Dong curled his upright palm into a tiger fist and released another burst of short-range force at the exact same spot.
Something sweet rose in Huang Chu Tian's throat, as though liquid was about to burst out.
But Wang Dong was even faster. His tiger fist clenched, power rising from his legs as he twisted his waist and unleashed the strength of his entire body, driving a heavy punch into that same spot.
Pfft!!!
Huang Chu Tian turned into a little fountain, spraying a mist of blood straight at Wang Dong's face.
The latter hurriedly blocked it with Soul Power and retreated at high speed in disgust, kicking Huang Chu Tian in the chin along the way to forcibly shut him up.
Huang Chu Tian flew into the air and vanished into the Hair Sea, falling silent.
Only the Hair Sea wriggled soundlessly, yet it did not launch another attack for a long time.
Their main attacker, Huang Chu Tian, was down. How could the two control-type Soul Masters end the fight?
Strangle Wang Dong to death?
Not to mention that he still had a ten-thousand-year soul skill, his Soul Power as a three-ring Soul Elder alone could exhaust them to death.
A Martial Soul Fusion Skill consumed a tremendous amount of Soul Power!
So the sisters withdrew the Hair Sea. Huang Chu Tian lay at the feet of the two girls, coughing up blood from time to time.
Trembling, he raised a hand toward the healing Soul Master below the Soul Dueling Platform.
Save me! Save me!
Wang Yan could not bear to watch any longer and asked, "Will the contestants continue the match?"
"We won't fight anymore. We surrender." Lan Su Su looked at Wang Dong, her eyes sparkling. "That Sacred Fire Cult you mentioned earlier, is the academy okay with us joining? Can we see you often, handsome?"
Wang Dong: "..."
