On the other side, Wang Dong relied on her speed advantage to fly out immediately. Her pink-and-blue wings spread wide, revealing the dazzling Light Goddess Butterfly.
The beautiful sight left Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo staring blankly.
"What are you spacing out for? Attack!" Huang Chutian shouted at the two sisters while attacking Huo Yuhao.
Making such a mistake on the Competition Stage was extremely fatal. What was more, their opponents were seed players who had already won five consecutive matches.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. Wang Dong's pink-and-blue wings had already been dyed gold, and the light blade of her first soul skill, Flank Saber, instantly cleaved toward the two sisters.
By the time the two sisters reacted and tried to use their soul skills to block, Jiang Yuheng had already flashed behind them. His Ice Aura was released once more, and the defenseless sisters were frozen into ice sculptures. Then, the blades of the Light Goddess Butterfly directly cleaved them off the Competition Stage.
With only Huang Chutian left, Jiang Yuheng and Wang Dong exchanged a smile. They tacitly chose not to interfere.
Instead, they turned around and walked to the corner of the Competition Stage. First, they took wooden chairs and stools out of their rings and sat down, then each took a handful of melon seeds and began cracking them.
"That's right, Yuhao, aim for his face! Don't hold back!" Jiang Yuheng directed.
"You're so stupid, Jiang Yuheng! Who attacks a Great Strength Divine Ape's face? If you're going to hit it, hit its butt instead. Huo Yuhao, kick his butt!" Wang Dong shouted.
Huo Yuhao was utterly speechless. While quickly dodging, he rolled his eyes at the two of them. They really were the sort who could talk without feeling the strain themselves!
Just then, Huang Chutian seemed unable to listen to their conversation any longer. He first let out a deep roar, then opened his long strides and charged straight at them.
His feet struck the ground with a series of booming sounds, like metal walls of copper and iron.
Seeing this, a sharp light flashed through Wang Dong's eyes. Just as she was about to stand up, Jiang Yuheng's hand had already grasped hers.
"With me here, don't worry."
Jiang Yuheng chuckled lightly. When he looked forward again, his eyes had already been replaced by a deep blue radiance. In the next moment, an invisible bloodline pressure descended instantly.
Immediately afterward, the Great Strength Divine Ape seemed to have encountered some kind of threat. Just as it released its soul skill, it was forcibly driven back into Huang Chutian's body.
As its master, Huang Chutian was even more bewildered. What's going on? I haven't even attacked yet. How did the Great Strength Divine Ape return on its own?!
While he was racking his brains in confusion, Huo Yuhao seized the opportunity and attacked again. The white ray of Soul Impact pierced through Huang Chutian's brain, sending him into a brief mental daze.
He quickly grabbed Huang Chutian's arm, suddenly exerted force forward, and sent Huang Chutian flying off the Competition Stage with a backflip.
"It's over, Brother Yuheng. What are we eating tonight?" Huo Yuhao clapped his hands and turned toward the two people cracking melon seeds.
"I want noodle soup!" Wang Dong answered first, raising her hand excitedly.
"I want mixed noodles!" Huo Yuhao said as well.
Jiang Yuheng was speechless. "My dear ancestors, we've been eating noodles for an entire month straight. Aren't you tired of them yet?"
"I don't care. Make it yourselves if you want noodles. I'm eating rice today!"
The next four assessments naturally ended in complete victory. Among the five new teams that had arrived in District 33, only Huang Chutian's team had any real strength.
After all, they possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. They only learned this after their match had ended.
Unfortunately, when they faced Jiang Yuheng and the others, they had no chance to use it. Of course, Jiang Yuheng would never give them such a chance!
In the end, Jiang Yuheng's team from Class 1 of New Students achieved a perfect ten-win record during the Round-Robin Tournament, becoming the best team in this region.
Huang Chutian's team had a powerful foundation, and the Lan Sisters' Soul Power had hardly been depleted. Aside from being controlled in the first match, they won all four of their remaining matches as well, advancing to the Top 64.
After the Round-Robin Tournament had completely ended, Wang Yan could no longer hold himself back.
"Jiang Yuheng, the three of you stay behind." Just as they were about to leave, he called the three of them back.
"Teacher Wang." Jiang Yuheng came before Wang Yan and greeted him politely.
Wang Yan nodded and smiled. "Congratulations on achieving a perfect ten-win record during the New Student Round-Robin Assessment. In previous Freshman Assessments, no more than ten teams had ever achieved such an outstanding result."
"You're very strong. However, there's always been a question in my heart. Jiang Yuheng, as the Captain, your Martial Soul is of the Ice Attribute, and you possess extremely powerful battlefield control. Yet I can't tell what your Martial Soul is at all. And Huo Yuhao, you two have really made me curious."
"Could you answer my questions?"
Hearing Wang Yan's words, none of the three showed the slightest surprise. There was no helping it. Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul was inconspicuous, while Jiang Yuheng had never allowed his Martial Soul to manifest from beginning to end.
Not to mention Wang Yan, even the Director of Instruction might not be able to identify it.
"You go first. As the protagonist, I have to make my entrance last." Jiang Yuheng smiled at Huo Yuhao.
"Alright." Huo Yuhao nodded, then looked at Wang Yan. "Teacher Wang, my Martial Soul is the Spirit Eyes, which has a spiritual attribute. As for my soul skills, please allow me to keep them secret. We still have to participate in the assessment later."
"Spirit Eyes? Your Martial Soul is your eyes. Are you a member of the Body Sect?!" Wang Yan's shocked reaction did not surprise Huo Yuhao.
Jiang Yuheng had previously explained the matter of Body Martial Souls to him. A Body Martial Soul naturally referred to one's own body. The rarer a body part was, the stronger its effects when used as a Martial Soul. The eyes, brain, and body were examples.
"Yes, Teacher Wang, my Martial Soul is my eyes, but I'm not a member of the Body Sect." Huo Yuhao answered Wang Yan's questions one by one.
As soon as he finished speaking, wild delight blossomed in Wang Yan's eyes. He tightly gripped Huo Yuhao's shoulders and said excitedly, "Wonderful, this is truly wonderful! Shrek Academy has actually gained such a huge advantage!"
"No wonder your single Ten-Year Spirit Ring has such tremendous effects. So you possess a Body Martial Soul. What a pity. If you had come to Shrek Academy earlier, I would have done everything to help you obtain a First Soul Ring with the best possible age limit!"
Seeing Wang Yan's animated appearance, Huo Yuhao couldn't help turning his head toward Jiang Yuheng, his expression seemingly asking for help.
However, Wang Yan quickly recovered from his joy and continued asking, "What about you, Jiang Yuheng? What is your Martial Soul?"
"My Martial Soul is exactly as you said: the Ice Attribute Frost Dragon," Jiang Yuheng said.
"Frost Dragon?" Hearing the name of this Martial Soul, a rare look of confusion appeared in Wang Yan's eyes.
He was a teacher who focused on theory. Whether it was research into Martial Soul theory or knowledge of Martial Souls, Wang Yan was extremely familiar with it, having practically engraved it into his mind.
But the Frost Dragon...
This type of Ice Attribute Martial Soul was something he was hearing about for the first time.
