Sea God Pavilion Erupts in Chaos!

Just as the crowd was filled with confusion.

The dust and mist gradually dissipated.

It revealed a frail figure in white; it was actually an old man.

At the same time.

That old man, who appeared extremely kind-hearted, had a Golden Holy Sword plunged directly into his chest.

It was none other than the Xuanyuan Sword that had been in Jiang Yang's hand!

As for that arrogant teacher, Skin-Peeler Zhou, Zhou Yi, she was currently huddled in place, clutching her head and trembling violently.

Where was there any trace of her previous rampant demeanor?

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!!"

"Don't kill me..."

Zhou Yi just kept screaming these words.

Jiang Yang's original soul skill already possessed the effect of intimidating the mind, and when combined with the might of that sword strike, it had completely shattered Zhou Yi's psychological defenses.

"Zhou Yi!"

"Wake up—"

The old man shouted in a deep, thunderous voice.

Only then did Zhou Yi let out a muffled groan and snap her eyes open.

"Dean... Dean?!"

"Hm?!"

"The Dean? Could this be the Dean of our Shrek Academy?!"

"The Dean of the number one academy on the continent must at least be a Super Douluo-level powerhouse, right?!"

"Hiss—how terrifying!"

However.

The old man did not seem to intend to pay any attention to Zhou Yi, nor did he care about the crowd.

He simply raised his right hand slowly, and a massive surge of soul power erupted from his palm, knocking the Golden Holy Sword out of his chest and sending it flying to land in the empty space to Jiang Yang's right.

After doing this.

The old man turned around, looked at Jiang Yang with kind eyes, and praised, "A very impressive sword strike. You must be that freshman, Jiang Yang, right?"

Jiang Yang did not reply; having unleashed several major spiritual soul skills simultaneously, even he needed to catch his breath.

If it had been anyone else, they likely would have been unable to keep up the moment the first and second soul skills were stacked together.

As for the third soul skill, it might not have even been possible to cast it at all.

Yet Jiang Yang had not only stacked three soul skills but was also maintaining a domain.

Earlier, he had also unleashed two major Self-Created Soul Skills that consumed both spiritual power and soul power simultaneously.

On top of that, he was fighting while three rings above his own level.

The fact that he could simply stop to catch his breath was enough to make him look down upon all other soul masters of the same rank in this world.

Even the usually haughty Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion could not help but mutter, "What a monster!"

"Dean? Why are you here!"

Mu Jin also arrived in a hurry from Freshman Class Nine.

Seeing the scene before her, she was both shocked and delighted, though she still maintained a look of concern on her face.

"Mu Jin, you're here? Good, handle everything here at your own discretion."

"Yes, Dean!"

"Jiang Yang, come with me to the Inner Court."

After the old man said this.

Without waiting for Jiang Yang's agreement, he instantly flashed into a streak of light and arrived at Jiang Yang's side.

In the blink of an eye.

Both of them had vanished from the spot.

When the crowd looked back, there was already a tiny speck in the distant sky.

Sea God Pavilion

Inside the grand conference hall.

Ten people sat around an oval-shaped long table, and at the innermost, dimly lit head seat of the table, a figure lay reclined on a lounge chair.

"Shao Zhe, since you called this meeting, you should be the one to preside over it."

"Yes, Teacher!"

Following the command from the aged voice on the recliner, Yan Shaozhe immediately stood up and performed a disciple's salute in that direction.

"Teacher, fellow elders, before the formal meeting begins, I intend to address two matters with everyone."

"The first concerns the new student, Jiang Yang."

"The second, strictly speaking, also concerns the new student, Jiang Yang, but it involves the wager between myself and Dean Qian."

Upon hearing this.

Qian Duoduo, sitting to the side, could not help but slightly furrow his brows, while Xian Lin'er, sitting next to him, stared coldly at Yan Shaozhe.

Given her fiery temper, had she not been unsure of what Yan Shaozhe was about to say, she would have already slammed the table and stood up.

Soon.

Yan Shaozhe laid out the entire story, from how he was initially tricked into the bet by Qian Duoduo to the details of the sparring match he witnessed this morning between Jiang Yang and Zhou Yi.

He left out no detail, no matter how small.

"What? You say that new student named Jiang Yang can kill a Soul Emperor with a single sword strike? What kind of joke is this!"

Xian Lin'er instinctively questioned him.

But as Yan Shaozhe remained silent, and the other elders followed suit, she too fell silent.

It was not that everyone was indifferent to the matter.

Rather, they were all busy digesting the shock brought about by Jiang Yang.

By comparison, the wager between Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo was truly a triviality, as small as it could possibly be.

"A thousand-year first soul ring, a ten-thousand-year third soul ring... How could his body withstand such soul power?"

"Elder Lin is correct. That is why, from the first moment I saw Jiang Yang, I suspected he possessed Twin Martial Souls!"

Hearing Elder Lin's question.

Qian Duoduo immediately responded as if showing off.

However, he quickly realized his tone and added, "But I didn't choose to bring Jiang Yang into the Soul Tool Department solely because of that; it is also due to his world-defying talent for crafting soul tools."

"World-defying?"

Elder Xuan's gaze also focused on Qian Duoduo; his repetition of those two words precisely captured the source of everyone's confusion.

What kind of genius could possibly warrant the description "world-defying"?

"You may not be aware, but Jiang Yang is already a Level 2 Soul Tool Master."

"From a common soul master who had never touched a soul tool to becoming a Level 2 Soul Tool Master, Jiang Yang only took two days!"

"This speed has created history since the inception of soul tools on the Douluo Continent!"

"He has left the runner-up far in the dust, to say nothing of the history of our Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department."

Watching the astonishment once again surface on the faces of the elders within the Sea God Pavilion.

Qian Duoduo became more and more excited as he spoke.

"To cultivate Jiang Yang, Dean Xian, Fan Yu, and I have decided after consultation to focus the Ultimate Soldier Project entirely on him, and to appropriately conceal his rank as a soul tool master."

"As for He Caitou, whom we had originally selected, we will choose a new partner for him."

"Because Jiang Yang is simply too strong, and he is only eleven years old!"

"Not to mention..."

Before Qian Duoduo could finish.

Yan Shaozhe immediately interrupted, "Dean Qian, you may not yet understand Jiang Yang's true strength. Twin Martial Souls may be nothing..."

"But his Xuanyuan Sword martial soul is an ancient divine artifact, and the ultimate light it contains surpasses even the Radiant Sacred Dragon!"

"It is also an extremely rare martial soul that integrates both support and assault; whether it is mental support or mental attacks, it is of peerless quality!"

"Not to mention what his second martial soul might be, but for a physique capable of absorbing a thousand-year soul ring as his first and a ten-thousand-year soul ring as his third, the quality of his second martial soul cannot be low!"

"If such a peerless genius is not handed over to our Martial Soul Department for cultivation, it would be a true waste of heaven's gifts!"

"I am confident that I can cultivate him into a true Title Douluo before he reaches the age of twenty-four!"

"If I fail to do so, I am willing to resign from my position as Dean of the Inner Court and withdraw from the Sea God Pavilion forever!"
