"Hello, everyone. My name is Huang Wei. I'm six years old, my Martial Soul is the Mysterious Tortoise, and I'm a Level 15 Defense System one-ring Battle Soul Master."
Huang Wei stood perfectly straight. After awakening his Beast Martial Soul, he could grow taller and become sturdier and more muscular.
"What?!"
"Only six years old?!"
"Isn't that exactly the age when he just awakened his Martial Soul?!"
"How could he possibly do that???"
"Could this be the Cultivation Speed of Innate Full Soul Power?"
"Reaching Level 15 Soul Power in such a short time... that's utterly terrifying!!!"
Huang Wei's words undoubtedly shocked all twenty-nine students in the class beyond belief.
At this rate, would he reach Level 20 Soul Grandmaster at the age of seven?
That was simply too terrifying!
They were already among the outstanding talents of the younger generation at Martial Soul Academy.
Yet before Huang Wei, the talents they had been so proud of were completely suppressed, their former brilliance reduced to utter dimness.
Even Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena stared with their mouths open, too shocked for words.
They did not know what to say.
They felt like their lives had been a complete failure.
At this rate, Huang Wei surpassing them was practically inevitable.
"No, if this continues, we'll be overtaken on the curve. That would be humiliating beyond belief. We need to cultivate harder and break through to Soul Ancestor as soon as possible!"
A sense of crisis rose within Yan, and he anxiously looked at Xie Yue and Hu Liena.
The three of them were seated together.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena both nodded.
"This guy's defense was already absurd at Level 14," Xie Yue said gravely. "Now that he's reached Level 15, it'll only become even more terrifying."
Yan and Hu Liena nodded. Of the three, Hu Liena looked the most anxious, eager to raise her cultivation quickly.
After all, she was Huang Wei's Senior Sister. If her junior brother surpassed her, then her cultivation talent as his Senior Sister would be completely crushed. She was unwilling to lose to someone who came after her.
Her desire for greater cultivation exceeded even Yan's and Xie Yue's.
"I don't believe it!"
Just then, someone shouted from within the classroom.
With a slap on the table, a burly man who stood nearly six feet tall rose to his feet. His eyes were filled with disbelief and intense suspicion as he stared at Huang Wei.
His name was Wu Hu. Within this class, he was the fourth strongest beneath Hu Liena and the other two.
He was three years older than Hu Liena's group, already fifteen years old, with Level 31 three-ring Soul Elder Soul Power.
Not everyone in this class was the same age. Rather, it gathered Soul Master students from across Martial Soul Academy whose overall abilities far exceeded the average standard.
So long as they were talented enough and under eighteen years old, they could enter this class.
Hu Liena and the other two were only twelve, yet they already possessed the strength of Level 35 Soul Elders. Naturally, they qualified, and they were three particularly exceptional oddities.
Now that Huang Wei had appeared, Wu Hu simply could not accept it.
As Wu Hu voiced his doubts, murmurs of disbelief and suspicion gradually rose throughout the classroom.
"Yeah, yeah, I don't think it's possible either."
"This is too unbelievable."
"Unless he shows us his Soul Power."
Mariel looked at Huang Wei and said, "Student Xiao Wei, what do you think?"
Huang Wei remained calm and nodded. "Sure."
There was no need for any more nonsense.
Strength was the only thing that mattered.
"Mysterious Tortoise Possession!"
The next second, he clenched his fists, took on an explosive stance, and gave a low shout.
Buzz!
A massive Mysterious Tortoise then emerged from Huang Wei's body.
It carried a Turtle Overlord Aura, its eyes seeming to look down upon all living things. It was enormous and imposing.
A deep yellow Soul Ring representing a hundred-year level rose beneath Huang Wei's feet.
Mariel took out a Soul Testing Orb from her Soul Tool and placed it before Huang Wei.
Huang Wei reached out and touched it.
The next moment, the orb blossomed with brilliant blue light.
Two numbers appeared.
15
The moment that number appeared, everyone sucked in a sharp breath again.
"He really is Level 15!"
Wu Hu's eyes widened as if he had just witnessed some unimaginably terrifying existence.
"Student Wu Hu, do you have any objections now?" Mariel asked softly.
"I..."
"I want to test his defense..."
Wu Hu's voice was somewhat hesitant.
At that moment, Huang Wei frowned. He found this man truly irritating. He had already proven it once, yet Wu Hu was still pushing his luck.
Mariel also frowned slightly, feeling that Wu Hu was going too far.
"Wu Hu, don't go too far! He's my junior brother. You tested his Soul Power, and now you want to test his defense too?! You're a Soul Elder, while he's only Level 15 no matter how talented he is. Have you no shame?!"
At that moment, Hu Liena, unable to stand it any longer, angrily rebuked him.
"He's my teacher's Personal Disciple. Do you think he's some kind of animal on display?! If you're unhappy, come at us! Or get out of this class yourself!"
Hearing Hu Liena's angry rebuke, Wu Hu immediately felt boundless rage. His fists clenched, but there was nothing he could do. Not only was she stronger than him, but she was also a Personal Disciple of Your Eminence the Pope.
He could only swallow his anger.
"I didn't mean it that way." Wu Hu took a deep breath, calming his furious heart. His expression was somewhat twisted as he spoke in a low voice.
Hu Liena snorted coldly.
"Fine. I can agree to let you test it."
However, at that moment, Huang Wei seemed to think of something. A teasing smile curved across his lips as he looked at the miserable-looking Wu Hu.
The Consequences of One Punch
Wu Hu, who had been feeling incomparably aggrieved and furious, immediately relaxed when he heard Huang Wei's words. A cold smile appeared on his face as he thought to himself.
See? He agreed to it himself.
"This guy..." Hu Liena looked at Huang Wei, unsure what he intended to do.
"We've already seen his defense. Even attacks from people at our level couldn't break it, much less Wu Hu with his mere Level 31 Soul Power. There's no need to worry."
"This kid may be young, but he always gives me the feeling that he's incredibly sly. He definitely won't do anything unless he's certain of it."
Yan and Xie Yue both nodded as they spoke quietly.
"True. If he gets himself killed, he'll only have himself to blame," Hu Liena said coldly.
Wu Hu revealed a hint of arrogance and said, "Fine, then I'll test your defense. Don't worry, I'll keep my Soul Power and strength at Level 15!"
However, he did not dare be too excessive. After all, Huang Wei was a Personal Disciple of Your Eminence the Pope, and that was not someone he could afford to provoke.
He merely wanted to vent his displeasure and embarrass Huang Wei a little, grinding down that arrogant air of his.
"However, I have one condition," Huang Wei said.
"What condition?" Wu Hu froze and asked.
Huang Wei said, "I'll allow you to attack with your full strength. You don't need to hold back. If you fail to break my defense, then leave this class, because I don't want to see you."
"If you agree, then I'll let you test it. Otherwise, forget it."
His tone was utterly calm, carrying the air of someone who had already seized control of the entire situation.
The moment he said that, another uproar erupted.
Was this kid courting death?
Who in this day and age would do something so idiotic?
A Level 15 Soul Master was allowing a Level 31 Soul Elder to attack with full force. No matter how strong his defensive Martial Soul was, he could not withstand that.
Even Mariel, standing beside Huang Wei, was left somewhat speechless by his move.
Had something gone wrong with this kid's brain?
His Senior Sister had kindly given him a way out, yet he was charging back in to seek death?
If Wu Hu truly broke his defense later, would that not be the same as slapping Your Eminence the Pope in the face?
At that thought, Mariel immediately grew somewhat flustered.
She looked at Wu Hu. He had caused all of this, and she wanted to warn him with her eyes.
However, Wu Hu did not notice. Instead, he gave a sinister smile and said, "Fine! I agree. But if I break your defense and you get hurt, don't go crying to Your Eminence the Pope afterward!"
Huang Wei nodded readily. "Fine, provided you can break my defense."
"Student Xiao Wei..." Mariel looked anxious.
Huang Wei turned to her with a smile. "Don't worry, Instructor. I won't do anything I'm not confident about."
"Fine, then."
Mariel sighed. He was still young and hot-blooded.
She then looked at Wu Hu, her expression unfriendly and somewhat gloomy. "Watch yourself. You're classmates. Don't hit too hard. Stop when appropriate."
Wu Hu's body went numb under her gaze, and he felt a sense of fear. Instructor Mariel was a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse, not someone he could fight.
What a pity.
He hurriedly nodded. "I will. Don't worry, Instructor Mariel."
Huang Wei did not want the trouble, so he had no plans to go to the Soul Fighting Arena.
They would settle it right here, but he still gave a reminder. "Instructor, call over one of Martial Soul Academy's highest-level Healing System Soul Masters first."
He only wanted to teach Wu Hu a lesson, not take his life.
But Wu Hu would definitely strike him with considerable force.
When the time came, Tortoise Shell Damage Reflection plus a critical strike, along with Electric Shock...
The outcome would definitely be severe.
Hearing that, Wu Hu sneered. Did Huang Wei know he would be injured later, so he was preparing in advance?
However, Wu Hu did not care.
Hu Liena and the other two looked at Wu Hu and said, "Good luck, ignorant fool."
Wu Hu frowned, feeling baffled.
He was clearly a Soul Elder, while Huang Wei was only a one-ring Level 15 Soul Master.
