No one would have bet on the six-year-old Evil Tiger, even if he was a genius. After all, he was still a first-year student.
"My name is Shui Yue'er. I'm a fourth-year student, my Martial Soul is Dolphin, and I'm a level 17, one-ring Assault-type Soul Master." After Shui Yue'er finished speaking, she released her Martial Soul, and a dolphin appeared behind her.
"Heh, Evil Tiger, Martial Soul Evil Spirit Orca, level 14, one-ring Assault-type Soul Master." Evil Tiger smirked.
"What! It's an Evil Spirit Orca!!!"
"Level 14 at six years old? Could it be... Innate Full Soul Power!"
"Oh my god!"
"I didn't expect junior Evil Tiger to be so powerful!"
All the girls in the audience were shocked.
"It's actually level 14." Shui Yue'er's expression turned serious, and she put away some of her contempt, but she still had confidence in winning.
She beckoned to Evil Tiger, "Junior Evil Tiger, come at me."
"Then I'm coming."
Evil Tiger quickly charged at Shui Yue'er and threw a punch. Shui Yue'er intended to block it with her palm, but unexpectedly, Evil Tiger suddenly retracted his fist, executed a precise turn, and swung a backfist.
"What!"
Shui Yue'er was greatly alarmed and quickly defended, but she was still knocked back several steps by Evil Tiger's backfist.
Evil Tiger pursued and landed a punch on Shui Yue'er's stomach.
Bang!
"Ah!"
Shui Yue'er cried out and fell to the ground.
"So strong! He knocked Yue'er down in just two hits!"
"Oh my god! Is junior Evil Tiger really only six years old?"
Everyone was shocked, their eyes wide open, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Ye Wen had already anticipated this outcome. Who was Evil Tiger? He was a hundred-thousand-year Evil Spirit Orca King!
How could his combat awareness possibly compare to a girl who wasn't even ten years old? Plus, he had a hundred-thousand-year innate Soul Bone, making his body, speed, and strength even more formidable.
"Damn it! Again, first Soul Skill, Dolphin Phantom Speed!"
Shui Yue'er's body seemed to transform into a dolphin, creating a phantom image as she attacked simultaneously.
"First Soul Skill, Orca Blast Fist!"
"Evil Tiger, be careful with your strength!" Ye Wen immediately reminded him.
Only then did Evil Tiger retract half of his power and knock Shui Yue'er down with a single blow.
"Yue'er... Yue'er lost!!"
"He actually found my real body among several illusions in an instant..." Shui Yue'er looked dejected but was genuinely convinced of her defeat.
"My goodness, is this what a male student admitted under special circumstances looks like?"
"His strength is too incredible. No wonder they could join Skywater Academy. In that case, junior Ye Wen must also be extraordinary!"
Evil Tiger had amazed the entire audience. Regarding Ye Wen's strength, no one dared to underestimate him anymore, and they were filled with anticipation and curiosity.
"As expected, he's very powerful." Yu Hai Rou was shocked inwardly. Her appearance was actually arranged by the dean to test the combat strength of Evil Tiger and Ye Wen. She continued, "Are there any other sisters willing to spar with junior Ye Wen?"
"I'll do it." At this moment, Shui Bing'er stepped forward.
"With Bing'er fighting, even if junior Ye Wen is very powerful, he can't possibly win."
"That's right! Although Bing'er is only a third-year student, she's already the strongest below the advanced students!"
"Even many advanced students are not as good as Bing'er!"
"Exactly! Exactly! I don't believe Bing'er will lose!"
They guessed that Ye Wen should be as strong as Evil Tiger, but Shui Bing'er was the most radiant rising star in their Skywater Academy, the most talented student. Moreover, Bing'er was a two-ring Soul Master, so no matter how strong Ye Wen was, he couldn't possibly win!
"Ye Wen, I've wanted to spar with you for a long time. Today, let's take this opportunity to have a match." Shui Bing'er said very seriously.
"Alright, then I'll show you something." Ye Wen smiled faintly and walked to the center of the crowd.
"Shui Bing'er, fourth-year student of Skywater Academy, Martial Soul Ice Phoenix, level 22, two-ring Control-type Soul Master." Shui Bing'er stated.
"Ye Wen, first-year student of Skywater Academy, Martial Soul Deep Sea Demonic Whale, level 15, one-ring Assault-type Soul Master."
After Ye Wen finished speaking, the entire audience erupted once more.
"Tear~!"
"Level 15! Deep Sea Demonic Whale!! Oh my god! Oh my god! The Deep Sea Demonic Whale is the strongest Sea Soul Beast in the ocean!!!"
"I've never seen it before, it's a Sea Soul Beast that exists only in legends!"
"This is crazy, crazy, crazy, I'm going crazy!"
The girls of Skywater were almost unable to bear the shock. Many of them clenched their legs, feeling like they were about to wet themselves. (When people are extremely nervous, scared, or shocked, they can lose control of their bladder and bowels.)
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, a top-tier Sea Soul Beast, appearing at Skywater Academy is comparable to how Martial Soul Hall views the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. It's incredible.
Skywater Academy is considered a top academy. They don't lack top-tier Martial Souls, nor have they seen few of them. The reason for their excitement is precisely this.
"Ye Wen, be careful," Shui Bing'er warned, and in the next second, her aura completely changed.
"Oh?" Ye Wen was a little surprised. Shui Bing'er, in combat mode, exuded an extraordinary presence.
"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!"
"Not good!"
Ye Wen immediately moved, starting to run.
Shui Bing'er's strength, besides the quality of her Martial Soul and her exceptionally high talent, stemmed from something far superior to others: instant casting of Soul Skills!
Instant casting meant activating a Soul Skill in an instant. Most people had a process and prelude when activating a Soul Skill, allowing others to know they were about to use one and giving them time to think of a counter.
But instant-cast Soul Skills could catch people off guard, activating before they could react. There was no time to think; that was the terrifying aspect of instant casting.
Very few Soul Masters could achieve instant casting, and even those who could would consume several times more Soul Power than usual!
Yet, Shui Bing'er's instant-cast first Soul Skill was simple, like child's play, and consumed the same amount of Soul Power as normal!
This was the terrifying part about Shui Bing'er!
Bang!
An ice mountain capable of sealing a person erupted from the ground. Fortunately, Ye Wen had already started running and wasn't sealed.
"Ice Seal!"
Ice mountains continuously rose from the ground, and Ye Wen kept running, constantly dodging.
But Shui Bing'er's instant-cast Ice Seal was almost invincible before Rank 30, because below that level, Soul Masters' physical strength was very weak, and their speed was slow. They simply couldn't dodge!
If Ye Wen continued running, he would eventually be sealed. He didn't choose to attack directly; instead, he leaped to evade and then punched towards Shui Bing'er.
Shui Bing'er's lips curved upwards. This was exactly what she was waiting for.
"Ice Seal!"
Bang!
Ye Wen was instantly sealed.
Interesting. I actually forgot that Shui Bing'er is a calm, steady, and extremely intelligent girl. Her control over the battle and her ability to adapt on the fly are beyond compare. Ye Wen thought, now unable to move while frozen.
Battles between Soul Masters were never about brute force, throwing one skill after another. It was about thinking!
Using your brain!
Figuring out how to use your abilities most effectively in combat. Someone who thinks, uses their brain, and knows how to fight most reasonably in battle is also terrifying!
