I Got Up, Then Got Instantly Defeated. What Was There to Say?

Dai Huabin was no fool. He had long since learned that Qin Yue possessed the Ultimate Lightning Martial Soul. Ultimate Attribute Martial Souls were indeed powerful, but they had a widely known weakness that could hardly even be called a weakness.

That was, between Level 30 and Level 70, an Ultimate Attribute Soul Master's Soul Power growth would slow to an outrageous crawl. Meanwhile, Dai Huabin possessed exceptional talent, and his cultivation speed had always far surpassed that of ordinary people.

After suffering that humiliating defeat at Qin Yue's hands, he had worked even harder. With the help of all sorts of precious supplements, he had forcibly raised his cultivation to Level 38 without damaging his foundation! He was unquestionably the strongest person in Class One aside from Qin Yue!

Based on Dai Huabin's estimation, Qin Yue's Soul Power was most likely still hovering around Level 31 or Level 32. He had every chance to use their Soul Power gap to wash away his past humiliation.

It was just that Qin Yue was usually nowhere to be found, and Dai Huabin had fretted over that for quite some time. Now, Qin Yue had actually appeared before him of his own accord, with everyone in Class One there to witness it. It was simply a heaven-sent opportunity.

What was more, Dai Huabin understood that although his White Tiger Martial Soul was a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, it was absolutely no match for Qin Yue's Ultimate Lightning. The gap between them would only grow with time. He had to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Everyone in Class One immediately became interested. As outstanding students who had successfully passed the Freshman Assessment and remained, they knew very well that they had no chance of becoming class monitor. Yet now, nearly seven months after the Freshman Assessment, no one was not curious about just how strong Qin Yue and Dai Huabin had become.

"Tsk~"

Qin Yue clicked his tongue in slight regret. He had originally planned to make a grand display of his strength during the Advancement Exam, but Dai Huabin had suddenly pulled this stunt. Fortunately, there were still more than sixty spectators present, so exposing himself would not be entirely without value.

He slowly walked onto the podium. Rather than responding to Dai Huabin's provocation, he swept his gaze across every student below and said calmly:

"Since that's the case, then let me show you..."

Dai Huabin's lips curled upward at once. He was just about to leave his seat and have a match with Qin Yue.

But in the next instant, an overwhelming, domineering surge of Soul Power erupted from Qin Yue's body, so immense that no one present could resist it. Dozens of students who had just stood up to watch stumbled, only to be forcibly "pressed" back into their seats by that Soul Power!

"How is this possible?! How is this possible?!"

Dai Huabin roared wildly in his heart, trying to free himself from that mountain-like Soul Power. Yet he discovered that his body was trembling uncontrollably. As a Level 38 Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder, merely maintaining his footing had already pushed him to his current limit!

The others fared even worse. They had been completely suppressed in their seats and could not move at all. All they could do was stare at Qin Yue with incomprehensible, terrified gazes.

Qin Yue was exceedingly satisfied with the scene before him. This was the feat of suppressing more than sixty Soul Masters of the same age with his strength alone. Forget unprecedented—there might not even be anyone capable of matching it in the future.

Aside from Dai Huabin, who was the only person present to release his Martial Soul, this absolute suppression relied on Qin Yue's abundant Level 43 Soul Power. More importantly, it relied on the "Dominating Intent" he had gained through cultivating with the Dragon Core day and night! It truly had every advantage in its favor.

Although this Dominating Intent had yet to transform into Majestic Heavenly Might, it was already more than enough to suppress this group of peers, who were generally between Level 20 and Level 30.

After half a minute that felt like an eternity, everyone in Class One suddenly felt the weight on their bodies lighten. That mountain-like pressure quietly vanished, leaving them with the illusion that their bodies had become incomparably light.

Huo Yuhao, drenched in sweat, panted heavily and instinctively exchanged a look with Wang Dong beside him. Both saw the shock in the other's eyes. Even Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in the Sea of Spirit bounced about frantically, crying that Qin Yue was an unprecedented monster.

Just as Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm were both shaken by Qin Yue's performance, an almost imperceptible grey light suddenly appeared upon the Grey Bead in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit. The light flowed gently, as though quietly sensing everything outside.

Dai Huabin struggled to straighten his body. Although his heart had already turned to ashes after realizing that he was absolutely no match for Qin Yue, he still retained the slightest hope as he asked in a low voice, "I still want to know the gap between us."

Qin Yue, who had been about to quietly take out the little black box to fish, froze. Somewhat surprised, he glanced at Dai Huabin. One yellow, two purple, and one black Soul Ring silently emerged, shocking everyone present except Wu Feng and Ning Tian.

"Four rings... a Soul Ancestor..." Dai Huabin's legs went weak, and he collapsed into his seat. His eyes were somewhat vacant as he looked at Qin Yue, as though unwilling to accept such a cruel reality.

It was not just Dai Huabin. Every Class One student apart from Ning Tian and Wu Feng was stunned speechless by the unbelievable sight before them for a long time.

Qin Yue was very satisfied with the expressions of the people below. Just as he withdrew his Soul Rings and prepared to deliver a victor's declaration to mess with their heads a little more, he suddenly felt as though something indescribable had appeared on his body.

Alarm bells ringing in his heart, Qin Yue swept his gaze across the entire classroom but found nothing unusual. Just as he was planning to slip away and visit Mu En first, an aged voice sounded in his mind. "Little fellow, stop looking. I am inside the knife on your body."

Almost instantly, Qin Yue understood what the aged voice meant and what had appeared on him. Pretending not to know, he asked, "You are?"

"Me? I am merely a Remnant Soul that originally did not belong to this world. At the moment of death, my soul's strength was too great, and by sheer luck, a wisp of spiritual consciousness remained."

Qin Yue's eyes shifted slightly. As he walked down from the podium, he continued asking in his mind, "I only obtained the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife recently, and I even purified it with Soul Power just now. So it is unlikely that you were in the knife from the beginning. Did you come from someone in this classroom?"

The aged voice paused, seemingly not expecting Qin Yue to be so meticulous, then admitted generously:

"Correct. This old man previously resided within that little fellow whose eyes differ from ordinary people's. I left because your knife was more suitable for recuperation."

"Rest assured, this old man bears you no ill will. I have no path of retreat left either. I merely wish to use the vast life force within this knife to nourish this wisp of spiritual consciousness."

"Of course, if you are willing to spare this old man a place, then I will help you use this knife more perfectly, rather than merely carrying it around as you do now and wasting the miraculous effects of this supreme treasure."
