One Strike Victory, Might of the Ninja

"First match, Class Two's Wang Zhi versus Class One's Luo Tianxing."

The homeroom teacher of Class Two's voice rang out.

Wang Zhi paused slightly, then stepped towards the center of the arena. As a student who had performed exceptionally well this month, he was not surprised to be sent out first.

Across from him, a youth with an arrogant expression walked out from Class One's ranks. The youth was tall and thin, with an innate sense of superiority in his features. He walked to the center of the arena, sizing up Wang Zhi, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.

The two met in the middle and faced each other.

"Kid, I'm a Two-Ring Soul Grand Master." The arrogant youth spoke, his tone carrying a distinct sense of superiority. "You're just a One-Ring. Don't come up here and embarrass yourself. Go back down."

Wang Zhi looked at him calmly, not angered. To him, this youth was just a brat. Since he was misbehaving, a lesson was in order.

At this moment, the Teacher from Class One, acting as the referee, stepped forward, signaling the two to introduce themselves.

The arrogant youth spoke first. "First Year Class One, Luo Tianxing, Two-Ring Soul Grand Master. Martial Soul: Iron Rhinoceros." He spoke, his gaze falling on Wang Zhi with a hint of provocation.

Wang Zhi's expression was indifferent. "First Year Class Two, Wang Zhi, One-Ring Soul Master. Martial Soul: Mask."

As his words fell, a few light chuckles sounded from Class One's ranks. A Mask Martial Soul? Never heard of it. And only a One-Ring. How could he possibly fight?

"Both sides take your positions!"

The Class One Teacher shouted.

The two retreated, creating a distance of about five meters.

"Begin the match!"

As soon as the Class One Teacher's voice fell, Luo Tianxing instantly released his Martial Soul.

On his forehead, a dark gray rhinoceros horn slowly appeared, its tip gleaming with a metallic luster.

At the same time, his skin also turned dark gray, appearing rough and heavy, clearly possessing extremely strong defensive capabilities.

Two yellow Hundred Year Soul Rings rose from his feet, slowly encircling him.

A Two-Ring Soul Grand Master, the real deal.

"Take this!"

Luo Tianxing roared, and his first Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

"First Soul Skill, Ironclad Charge!"

Bright yellow light surged from within him, instantly enveloping his entire body.

The light condensed, forming a light shield on his body's surface, like a suit of armor.

The next moment, he exerted force with his legs, and his entire body shot forward like a cannonball, heading straight for Wang Zhi.

The speed was extremely fast, and the force was immense.

A gasp of surprise arose from the surroundings.

Wang Zhi stood in place, motionless.

The instant Luo Tianxing was about to reach him, the shadow beneath Wang Zhi's feet suddenly rippled.

A black figure slowly emerged from the shadow.

It was a tall humanoid creature, wearing a black tight-fitting suit, a mask on its head, revealing only a pair of dark eyes, and several shuriken hanging from its waist.

It appeared out of thin air, blocking in front of Wang Zhi.

The entire venue fell silent instantly.

"What... what is this?!"

Someone exclaimed in shock.

Even Wang Zhi's homeroom teacher couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Although he knew Wang Zhi was a summoner, all the summoners he had seen before summoned Soul Beasts.

Netherworld Wolves, Flame Birds, Ironback Turtles, they were all beasts.

This was the first time he had seen someone like Wang Zhi, who directly summoned humanoid creatures.

And the Ghost Shadow Ninja, the moment it appeared, its figure flashed.

Its speed was astonishingly fast, leaving only an afterimage in the air.

The next instant, it had already appeared beside the charging Luo Tianxing.

It raised its right hand, forming a blade with its palm.

With a fierce strike, it directly chopped at Luo Tianxing's waist.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound arose.

Luo Tianxing was like he had been hit by a heavy hammer, his charging momentum coming to an abrupt halt, and then he flew out sideways.

He flipped halfway in the air, landed heavily on the ground, and rolled another two to three meters before stopping.

Lying on the ground, motionless.

The entire venue erupted in an uproar.

Everyone widened their eyes, looking at this scene in disbelief.

Luo Tianxing...

A Two-Ring Soul Grand Master, with the Martial Soul Iron Rhinoceros, known for its defense...

He lost just like that?

Not even half a minute?

In Class One's team, those Two-Ring Soul Grand Master students exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.

The One-Ring students' mouths were even wider, unable to close for a long time.

As the referee, the Class One teacher's complexion instantly turned grim.

He never expected that a student from his own class would lose so quickly.

The battle was over before he even had time to walk to the edge of the field.

"Who else?"

Wang Zhi's voice sounded faintly as his gaze swept over Class One's team.

The students of Class One looked at each other, and for a moment, no one dared to respond.

Class One's Teacher gritted his teeth and looked back at his students.

"Li Qing, you go."

A lean Youth walked out from the team, his face serious.

He walked into the arena, looked at Wang Zhi, and then at the Ghost Shadow Ninja standing before Wang Zhi. A hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

"The match begins!"

Class One's Teacher shouted again.

This time, Li Qing did not rashly charge forward.

He released his martial soul immediately, and two Yellow Soul Rings rose up. He was also a Two-Ring Soul Grand Master.

His martial soul was the Azure Peak Sword, a Tool Martial Soul, specializing in speed and attack.

He held his long sword, vigilantly staring at the Shadow Ninja, and slowly moved his feet.

However, the Ghost Shadow Ninja gave him no opportunity.

It flickered, disappearing from its spot once more.

Li Qing's pupils contracted, and he instinctively swung his sword to block.

But the Ghost Shadow Ninja did not attack from the front.

It emerged from Li Qing's shadow and struck his nape with a chop.

Li Qing reacted quickly, turning sharply and slashing out with his sword.

But the blade passed directly through the Ghost Shadow Ninja's body, as if cutting through air, and went right through.

The Ghost Shadow Ninja was unharmed and struck Li Qing's chest with a palm strike.

Li Qing flew backward, falling to the ground.

Defeated again.

The entire arena fell silent once more.

Class One's Teacher's Complexion grew even uglier.

He took a deep breath and called out another name.

The third Two-Ring Soul Grand Master entered the stage.

The result was the same.

Because the Ghost Shadow Ninja appeared and disappeared unpredictably, emerging from shadows and vanishing into them, ignoring physical attacks, and moving with ghost-like speed.

That student didn't even have time to unleash his Martial Soul skill before being sent flying with a palm strike.

The fourth.

The fifth.

One Two-Ring Soul Grand Master after another was defeated.

The surrounding crowd, initially shocked, gradually became calm.

Numb.

They were truly numb.

When the fifth Class One student was carried off the stage, there were no more Two-Ring Soul Grand Masters left in the Class One team.

Five, all defeated.

The Class One Teacher stared blankly at the composed Youth on the stage, his mouth opening and closing, but no words came out.

Wang Zhi still stood in the center of the stage, his expression calm.

His Spiritual Power had already reached the Spirit Connection Realm, allowing him to summon ten Ghost Shadow Ninjas, all at the Two-Ring Soul Grand Master realm, in one go.

Furthermore, these Ghost Shadow Ninjas had a variety of techniques, were skilled in Hidden Weapons, and ignored physical damage, making it not difficult for them to fight opponents of a higher realm.

Especially since these New Students lacked combat experience, their swift defeat was normal.
