The Soul Breaking Spear Makes Its Debut

"Don't go too far!" Dai Huabin roared in fury, swinging his tiger claws as he charged at Wu Xuan again.

Wu Xuan's fighting spirit surged. Cold light flashed from his eyes as he shot forward like an arrow loosed from its bow. His wrists turned lightly, and Gang Wind gathered in his palms!

"Cracked Wind Fist!"

The rapidly spinning Gang Wind blasted out with Wu Xuan's left and right fists. Dai Huabin groaned as his body staggered backward dozens of meters.

A tearing pain shot through both his arms, twisting Dai Huabin's expression.

Before Dai Huabin could steady himself, Wu Xuan pursued him again.

"Sky Pillar!"

Wu Xuan leaped into the air. The powerful wind pressure eliminated any windup from his jump, multiplying the force of his descent.

Dai Huabin instinctively looked up, only to find Wu Xuan's knee already before him. Dai Huabin's formidable combat instincts once again made his body dodge on its own.

"Bang—" A teeth-grinding crack rang out as Wu Xuan's knee slammed heavily into Dai Huabin's shoulder.

Dai Huabin spat blood from the corner of his mouth and was sent flying by the tremendous force.

Wu Xuan raised his left leg and kicked at the airborne Dai Huabin from afar. This was the skill granted by the Wind God Winged Dragon External Soul Bone: Cracked Shadow Whirlwind!

"It's over!" Wu Xuan twisted his neck and said coldly.

As his words fell, a cyan whirlwind shot forth, sweeping up Dai Huabin before he could land and hurling him toward the edge of the Battle Soul Platform.

"Huabin!" Zhu Lu, who was being completely suppressed by Nanmen Yun'er, caught sight of Dai Huabin about to be blown off the platform from the corner of her eye and couldn't help crying out.

A flash of cold light swept past her eyes. Zhu Lu's hairs stood on end, and she hurriedly came back to her senses. Her cat claws collided with Nanmen Yun'er's Jadeite Blade.

Amid the flying sparks, Zhu Lu's body was forced backward without pause.

Zhu Lu and Nanmen Yun'er were both Agile Attack System Soul Masters. Their cultivation levels were similar, and their Martial Souls were of comparable quality. With Wu Xuan's one-hundred-percent speed enhancement, Zhu Lu naturally found it hard to contend with Nanmen Yun'er.

On the other side, Qian Gu Ming and Cui Yajie's battle was equally one-sided. Cui Yajie could barely stir up any trouble at all.

"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

Dai Huabin roared, and his tiger claws forcibly tore apart Wu Xuan's Cracked Shadow Whirlwind.

He stepped forward. At this moment, Dai Huabin's tiger paws had grown another size, and the blades extending from them had turned bright silver. Most striking of all, his entire body was shrouded in intense golden light, as though he had been plated in gold. His blood-red eyes gleamed with a savage thirst for blood.

"That hurt, Wu Xuan! I'll cripple you!" Dai Huabin howled as he charged at Wu Xuan again.

"Thick-skinned bastard!" Wu Xuan cursed inwardly as jadeite-colored breezes rose from his hands.

"Third Soul Skill, Jadeite Wind!"

"Clap!" Wu Xuan pressed his palms together, and jadeite-colored breezes erupted from around him, instantly engulfing Dai Huabin's charging body and turning him into a sharply faceted Jadeite Crystal.

Having instantly restrained Dai Huabin, Wu Xuan let out a breath of turbid air. He then slowly shifted his gaze toward the other two battles. By now, Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie only had the strength to defend themselves and could no longer turn things around.

Should I reveal my other Martial Soul now? Perhaps only by letting Shrek Academy's higher-ups know my potential would my future in the academy become smoother.

With that thought, Wu Xuan no longer hesitated. With a single thought, faint cracking sounds suddenly rang out from the Jadeite Crystal imprisoning Dai Huabin.

"Crack... crack... bang!"

The crystal exploded, and Dai Huabin's figure charged out once more.

"Die! White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!"

Dai Huabin let out a roar, spewing a ball of white light toward Wu Xuan.

"Hmph!" Wu Xuan snorted. His left hand curled into a claw, silver light instantly bursting from his palm. He swept his left arm, and a dazzling spear appeared in his hand.

As the light faded, the spear's blade was entirely brilliant silver and occupied nearly half the length of the weapon. Its shaft was dark silver, and with the purple diamond-shaped crystal at its joint, the entire spear looked incomparably magnificent.

Wu Xuan thrust out his spear, instantly shattering the white light wave Dai Huabin had unleashed. The dizziness flooding his mind startled Dai Huabin into stumbling backward again and again.

"Another Twin Martial Soul!" Yan Shaozhe sprang to his feet excitedly in the viewing stands.

"A Spirit Attribute Tool Martial Soul?" Qian Duoduo muttered to himself as he stared at the spear in Wu Xuan's hand.

Dai Huabin's expression shifted uncertainly. Bloodshot veins filled his eyes as he turned and sprinted toward the battle between Zhu Lu and Nanmen Yun'er.

"Zhu Lu!" Dai Huabin shouted.

Before Zhu Lu could look up, Nanmen Yun'er kicked her back several steps.

"Cui Yajie!" Zhu Lu shrieked.

Cui Yajie's face was pale. She took a blow from Qian Gu Ming's staff head-on, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, but she still successfully activated her First Soul Skill, Charm, slowing Nanmen Yun'er for two seconds.

The referee grabbed Cui Yajie's arm and took her off the Battle Soul Platform, loudly announcing, "Cui Yajie is eliminated!"

Qian Gu Ming and Nanmen Yun'er both realized something was wrong and rushed toward Zhu Lu at once.

"Xiao Ming, Yun'er, move back. Leave the rest to me," Wu Xuan called calmly.

The two swiftly retreated at his words. Naturally, they would not question Wu Xuan's command.

Holding the Soul Breaking Spear, Wu Xuan spoke calmly in a voice only he could hear. Soul Breaking Spear, this will be your first battle before the world.

Qian Duoduo frowned slightly in the stands and said in a low voice, "The Dai Family and Zhu Family actually have a pair of Martial Souls that are mutually compatible in this generation? Why isn't that brat stopping them? Does he not know?"

It was rare for two Soul Masters' Martial Souls to be compatible and complementary enough to possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. However, in Shrek Academy, where talented young Soul Masters from nearly the entire continent had gathered, the appearance of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill was not particularly inconceivable.

After all, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill had already appeared once during this year's New Student Assessment.

Moreover, the relationship between the White Tiger Duke's lineage and the Count Nether Zhu Family was practically public knowledge in the Soul Master world.

Therefore, in the eyes of Shrek's higher-ups, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu using a Martial Soul Fusion Skill was far less shocking than Wu Xuan possessing Twin Martial Souls.

Yan Shaozhe smiled without speaking, though his gaze remained fixed on Wu Xuan.

At the center of the arena, Dai Huabin let out a thunderous tiger roar. Along with it, his body expanded once more as black-and-white Soul Power patterns surged wildly outward.

Zhu Lu lightly bit her lip. Her entire body was enveloped in faint black light, and her figure flickered until she appeared almost transparent. She opened her arms and pounced toward Dai Huabin.

The auras of the White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat completely merged at that moment. It was an exquisite sensation. Dense Soul Power fluctuations erupted from their fused bodies like a volcanic blast. Black-and-white light completely melded together amid the spreading golden halo. It was a feeling of utter sublimation.

"First Soul Skill, Soul Pressure!"

A pitch-black Soul Ring rose around Wu Xuan's body.

"A Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?" The Teachers in the viewing stands all changed expression.

The body of the Soul Breaking Spear in Wu Xuan's hand trembled, and terrifying Spiritual Power erupted from the purple crystal. The vast difference in Spiritual Power directly made everyone's vision turn dark.

"Pfft!" Under the pressure of that Spiritual Power, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's fusion failed. They both spat blood and collapsed unconscious onto the ground.

"You still want to use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill in front of me? Dream on!" Wu Xuan snorted. His Soul Pressure receded, and the Soul Breaking Spear trembled before dissolving into starlight.

"The match is over. Wu Xuan's team wins the elimination round," the referee announced loudly as he stepped forward.

"We won! Brother Xuan, we won!" Qian Gu Ming pounced toward Wu Xuan, shouting excitedly.

"Class Monitor! We're champions!" Nanmen Yun'er reached Wu Xuan before Qian Gu Ming could and threw herself into Wu Xuan's arms.

Qian Gu Ming was secretly annoyed, but he did not care about that now. He spread his arms and embraced them both.

On the other side, the unconscious Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were carried away by Teachers from the healing department.

"Haha! Three very fine young people." Yan Shaozhe laughed heartily from the stands.

"Yes! Especially that young man named Wu Xuan. A Spirit Attribute Tool Martial Soul—excellent, truly excellent!" Qian Duoduo exclaimed, his eyes shining brightly.

Yan Shaozhe looked at Qian Duoduo with an amused expression. "Old Qian, let me warn you in advance. This child's Teacher mentioned him to me before. The main reason I came to watch the New Student Assessment this time was for him."

Qian Duoduo looked doubtful. "Old Yan, you're not fooling me, are you? A Wind Element Martial Soul, possibly a Mutated Soul Breaking Spear Martial Soul—could that really have alerted Mu En?"

"Wind Element? That is no ordinary wind. With the enhancement of his First Soul Skill, that child's wind has already entered the level of an Extreme Martial Soul. If it can coexist as twins with wind that is Half-Extreme, do you think that Mutated Soul Breaking Spear is an ordinary mutated Martial Soul?" Yan Shaozhe said with a sigh.

A Martial Soul that had taken half a step into the Extreme level? In that case, Wu Xuan definitely could not be recruited into the Soul Tool Department. At that thought, Qian Duoduo's face twisted as though he had swallowed a fly.

Yan Shaozhe noticed Qian Duoduo's changing expression and nearly burst out laughing. Yet on the surface, he maintained a calm, gentle look and sat back down.

Being able to irritate that stingy fellow really put him in a fine mood.
