Practice More If You're Bad, Now It's My Turn!

The next morning, when Huo Yu Hao saw Lin Yuan and Wang Dong, he couldn't help but show a hint of confusion. "What's wrong with you two? Did that senior from the inner court do anything to you yesterday?"

Lin Yuan smiled and waved his hand, his tone relaxed. "It's nothing, we just had a simple chat. She didn't make things too difficult for us."

Wang Dong added from the side, deliberately emphasizing her words. "It's mainly because Lin Yuan is such a good liar. He made it sound so real, even I almost believed him."

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly and reached out to flick Wang Dong's forehead. "What? You've learned to undermine me now?"

"Who's undermining you!" Wang Dong rubbed her forehead and took half a step back, her pink-blue eyes wide, but she didn't retort further, only muttering softly, "That's just how it is."

The three walked side-by-side towards the assessment area, encountering many students from other teams along the way. After the first five rounds, their results were the best, so they remained in Zone Thirty-Three. After redrawing for groups, five groups of freshmen would continue the assessment with them.

Teacher Wang Yan glanced at Lin Yuan and the other two with meaningful eyes before announcing, "Alright, everyone is here. Due to achieving the best results in this zone during the first five rounds, Class One Freshman Lin Yuan's team has become the seeded team for this zone. According to the schedule, they will be the first to appear. In the sixth round of Zone Thirty-Three, the first match will be Class One Freshman Lin Yuan's team versus Class Seven Freshman Huang Chu Tian's team. The assessment begins."

Both sides entered the arena simultaneously. Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong were surprised to find a pair of identical female students on the opposing team.

Both female students had long blue hair and delicate, rosy faces, looking very cute. They appeared to be even younger than them. Standing in front of them was a tall and burly male student, clearly the team captain, Huang Chu Tian.

"I am Huang Chu Tian. To my left is Lan Su Su, and to my right is Lan Luo Luo. Please guide us."

"Lin Yuan, Wang Dong, Huo Yu Hao. Please guide us," Lin Yuan replied.

"Yuan Shen!" Lan Luo Luo's eyes lit up, her voice as clear as wind chimes. She quickly pulled her sister Lan Su Su forward, her blue eyes full of sparkling admiration. "It really is you! We're your fans!"

Lan Su Su also nodded with a blush, taking out a delicate silver badge from her soul tool. The badge was engraved with a simplified dragon pattern, the insignia of Lin Yuan's fan club. "We've joined your fan club and watch you train every day!"

Huang Chu Tian stood to the side, helplessly holding his forehead. He already knew these twin sisters were Lin Yuan's "die-hard fans." He had worried they would lose composure upon meeting their idol before the match, but it seemed his worries were justified.

Lin Yuan looked at the two excited young girls in front of him and smiled helplessly. "The match is important. We can talk about meeting fans after it's over."

"Mhm, mhm!" Lan Luo Luo nodded vigorously, but she secretly tugged at her sister's sleeve, and the two exchanged a knowing glance.

Wang Yan cleared his throat. "Both sides, retreat and take your positions."

The two sides took their positions. Lin Yuan's team maintained their original formation: Wang Dong in front, Lin Yuan in the center, and Huo Yu Hao in the back corner.

On the other side, Huang Chu Tian stood at the very front, with Lan Su Su and Lan Luo Luo flanking him.

Teacher Wang Yan shouted sternly, "Assessment begins!"

Both sides quickly released their Martial Souls. Huang Chu Tian let out a roar and pounded his chest forcefully with his fists. The moment his Martial Soul was released, his height, which was around 1.5 meters, suddenly surged to over 1.8 meters. His thick muscles directly tore through his school uniform, and his exposed skin turned iron-black. His eyes shifted from black to yellow, and two canine teeth protruded slightly from his thickened lips. His limbs were exceptionally stout, and two yellow soul rings rose simultaneously from beneath his feet.

The twins behind Huang Chu Tian also released their Martial Souls at the same time, with two yellow soul rings appearing beneath each of their feet. They tossed their heads, and the blue hair behind them flew up, rapidly extending in the air. In a blink of an eye, it transformed into strands of blue hair over ten meters long, floating in the air without touching the ground.

At the same time, Wang Dong released her Martial Soul, the Goddess of Light Butterfly. The moment her wings spread, she flew out.

Huang Chu Tian let out a low growl and strode towards Wang Dong. When he was three meters away, he suddenly leaped up and smashed his fists directly at her.

Wang Dong's wings behind her snapped shut, forcefully taking Huang Chu Tian's attack. With a loud "boom," he was smashed down from the air. After landing, he retreated several steps before stabilizing himself.

Just then, Lan Su Su and Lan Luo Luo withdrew their gaze from Lin Yuan, faced each other, and clasped their hands tightly. A soul power fluctuation several times stronger than before erupted from them. Their long blue hair instantly flew up, weaving into a large net in the air that lunged towards Wang Dong.

Huang Chu Tian quickly retreated, moving back into the range of the hair net. However, the blue hair seemed to have eyes, parting to avoid him and not touching his body.

Looking at the all-encompassing hair net, the formidable power of Wang Dong's Wing Saber was fully displayed. With the swing of her wings, the sharp edges unleashed powerful destructive force, directly tearing a gap in the large net. Simultaneously, guided by Huo Yu Hao's mental detection sharing, he lunged towards Huang Chu Tian.

Seeing this, Huang Chu Tian roared, and his first soul ring instantly lit up. His fists suddenly swelled by a circle, shining with a strong metallic luster, and he met Wang Dong's Wing Saber head-on. Meanwhile, the twins' hair net swept in from behind, attempting to entangle Wang Dong.

"Clang—"

A humming sound of metal collision rang out. The Wing Saber slashed onto the iron fist. Huang Chu Tian stumbled, and blood streamed from both fists, each cut open by a gash.

After repelling Huang Chu Tian, Wang Dong abruptly turned, swinging her Wing Saber in a rapid rotation, shredding the hair net that lunged at her from behind into pieces.

After a brief moment of shock, Huang Chu Tian exerted himself again. He clasped his hands together and raised them above his head, his second soul ring lighting up. A layer of yellow light emanated from his entire body, flowing down his arms and finally converging on his fists.

"Cannon Hammer of Strength!" As soon as Huang Chu Tian finished speaking, a ball of solidified yellow light shot out from his fists, heading straight for Wang Dong.

This light ball also had a locking effect. Wang Dong dodged three consecutive times but couldn't evade it. Just as she was preparing to block it head-on with her Wing Saber, a smile suddenly appeared on her face. She abandoned the direct confrontation, ignoring the incoming light ball, and instead flipped downwards, shredding the remaining hair net while lunging directly at Lan Su Su and Lan Luo Luo.

As the yellow light ball was about to hit Wang Dong, Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and silver-white patterns quietly appeared around him. He raised his hand and waved lightly. The space his fingertips touched rippled, and a spatial rift about a foot long opened out of thin air.

"Power of Space!" Wang Yan's pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed in a low voice.

Dark mist surged from the rift. Lin Yuan reached in and precisely grasped the whistling yellow light ball with his five fingers. The berserk power contained within the light ball thrashed wildly in his palm but was firmly contained by the power of space. He twisted his wrist, and his fingers suddenly tightened.

"Bang!"

The solidified yellow light ball shattered with a bang, turning into scattered energy light spots that were instantly swallowed by the spatial rift. The entire process was fluid and natural, from tearing space to crushing the light ball, all within an instant, without even a trace of energy leakage. At this moment, Wang Dong had already closed in on the twin sisters and launched a full-power attack.

Lan Su Su and Lan Luo Luo were clearly caught off guard. When Wang Dong, after shredding the hair net, lunged at them, they couldn't deploy their second soul skill in time. The sisters exchanged a glance, their soul rings simultaneously dimmed, they let go of their clasped hands, spread their arms wide in the midst of the battle, and embraced each other tightly.

Wang Dong was also taken aback. What were they trying to do?

The next second, the Lan sisters provided the answer. A massive soul power fluctuation, far exceeding anything before, instantly erupted. The moment they embraced, a deep blue halo emanated from both of them, shrouding them and making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Simultaneously, the long hair behind their heads rose again, all turning into a crystal-clear blue. The hair strands remained slender, but when they enveloped Wang Dong again, the feeling Wang Dong experienced was completely different. The Wing Saber struck the hair net head-on but couldn't break through it instantly as before. Wang Dong felt as if she had crashed into a large net full of elasticity and resilience. No matter how she struggled, the net tightened more and more. Even more bizarrely, the moment the large net enveloped her, Huo Yu Hao's mental detection sharing was also interrupted.

In almost an instant, Wang Dong was firmly bound within the net, covered in crystal-clear blue hair strands. These all-encompassing hair strands didn't stop; they rapidly spread towards Lin Yuan and Huo Yu Hao.

"Tsk, Little Dong'er, how can you be so clumsy?" Lin Yuan teased as he reached into the spatial rift again, precisely grabbing Wang Dong's collar with his five fingers.

The power of space surged. Wang Dong felt the restraints around her loosen. She was pulled out of the hair net by a gentle but irresistible force and landed steadily beside Lin Yuan the next second. She adjusted her wrinkled collar and glared at Lin Yuan indignantly. "This is a Martial Soul Fusion Skill! Anyone else would have been entangled too!"

"If you're weak, practice more," Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Now it's my turn!" Before he finished speaking, the silver-white patterns around him suddenly surged, and the space authority was fully activated.

Lin Yuan raised his hand and made a grasping motion in the air. The hair net of the Lan sisters instantly froze, as if grasped by an invisible hand.

"Space Folding!" Lin Yuan shouted softly, drawing his finger through the void. The area where the hair net was located rippled, and the originally all-encompassing blue hair strands were forcibly compressed into a mass, curling up like folded silk.

Lan Su Su and Lan Luo Luo's expressions changed drastically. The connection of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill instantly became chaotic, and both grunted simultaneously, fine bloodstains appearing at the corners of their mouths. Immediately after, the overwhelming Heavenly Net and Earthly Web dispersed, vanishing like a receding tide.

On the sidelines, Wang Yan's eyes widened, staring at the scene unfolding before him with disbelief.

When the Lan sisters unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web, he was already filled with shock. He had initially thought Lin Yuan's team was doomed to lose, but he never expected such a dramatic reversal. Lin Yuan had managed to forcibly dismantle a mature Martial Soul Fusion Skill by himself. This kind of exquisite control over space authority was something even many veteran Soul Masters couldn't match, let alone freshmen.
