The Big Fish Took the Bait!

Seeing Wang Dong still wanting to argue with them, Jiang Yang immediately reached out to rest a hand on her shoulder, signaling for her to be quiet.

From this point on, it was better to leave the handling to him.

"Oh?"

"How does the Senior Brother wish to play?"

Seeing that Jiang Yang had indeed taken the bait, Dai Huabin was in high spirits.

Although the provocation tactic was somewhat cliché, it was undeniably one of the most effective methods, a fact Dai Huabin firmly believed in.

"It's very simple."

"There are about a thousand freshmen in our current year. Whoever loses will distribute ten thousand Gold Soul Coins to every student as a scholarship."

"It's not much, just ten million Gold Soul Coins in total."

"I'll give you two and a half minutes to consider it. Answer me once you've made up your mind."

"Hiss—"

The moment these words left Jiang Yang's mouth, almost everyone present gasped in shock.

Even Mu Jin could not remain indifferent.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what would be appropriate.

The situation seemed to be spiraling further and further out of control.

"What about the previous wager?"

Dai Huabin was stunned for a moment, but then a smile he couldn't suppress tugged at the corners of his mouth.

He looked at Jiang Yang, seeking final confirmation.

"It stands as before."

"Good! How refreshing! As expected of the Senior Brother, a gentleman's word is as good as a team of horses!"

As Jiang Yang calmly spat out those two words, Dai Huabin acted as if he had been handed an imperial decree, immediately agreeing without a moment's hesitation.

He wanted to lock the deal in.

He was terrified that if he were even a step too slow, Jiang Yang might change his mind.

Even Huo Yuhao, hiding behind his classmates, clenched his palms in excitement.

It was as if that staggering amount of cultivation resources was about to appear in his hands right then and there.

[Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: Little Yuhao, don't get too happy too soon. Don't you dare drop the ball later. Or, why don't you let Big Brother help you? I guarantee it will be foolproof.]

[Huo Yuhao: Brother Sky Dream, that doesn't seem right. This is all for my sake, and to have you step in as well... for such a small matter, I don't feel good about it.]

[Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: It is indeed a small matter. It would be good for you to gain some experience, so fine, Big Brother won't intervene.]

[Huo Yuhao: Uh... well, Brother Sky Dream, this Jiang Yang seems to be a spirit-type Spirit Master as well. With my current mental power, will I be able to deal with him?]

[Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: That is true. Oh, Huo Yuhao, do you want Big Brother to help or not? Give me a straight answer! You're going to make me dizzy with all this back and forth!]

[Huo Yuhao: I'm sorry, Brother Sky Dream! I've thought about it, and I think you should step in. After all, there are too many resources involved. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid... I'm just afraid.]

[Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: You should have said so earlier! We're family, aren't we? Big Brother won't look down on you. Rest assured, with me taking action, victory is guaranteed!]

[Huo Yuhao: Thank you, Brother Sky Dream. I will definitely work hard on my cultivation and reach level twenty as soon as possible!]

"Very well—"

"Since you have already reached an agreement, and it is indeed a grand occasion, I, as your teacher, will not waste any more breath."

"The thirty-first match—"

"The challengers are Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie. The stakes are three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones suitable for the winners, two level-five stationary Soul Tools, one level-six defensive Soul Tool, ten Mystic Water Pills, one Soul Ascension Pill, and one million Gold Soul Coins."

"Plus—"

"Ten million Gold Soul Coins!"

"The defender, Senior Brother of the Outer Court—"

"Jiang Yang!"

As Mu Jin finished speaking, several freshman classes, led by their respective teachers, arrived at the open space nearby.

Among them was Freshman Class Nine, led by Zhou Yi. They had just arrived outside the field, preparing to run in their iron vests.

Looking at the number of students, it was clear that Freshman Class Nine had only half the headcount of the other classes.

It appeared the other half had likely been expelled by Zhou Yi.

"Running again!"

"So annoying! Can this Skin-Peeler Zhou just drop dead already?!"

"Exactly. Every time we finish running, she never thinks to brew us some medicinal soup or prepare a medicinal bath. She claims to be following the example of the Great Master who taught the Sea God Tang San, but in reality, she hasn't even learned the basics!"

"Who's to say otherwise? The moment she came to our class, all she knew was how to expel people. Someone talked back to her twice, and she actually kicked them out! Tell me, what kind of nonsense is that?!"

"Sigh, you should watch your tongue. Who do you think you are, daring to talk back to this Skin-Peeler Zhou?"

"That's true, but isn't that Ning Tian always at odds with her? I haven't seen her get expelled either."

"What do you think? She's scared of the Senior Brother Jiang Yang, that's what. If she offends another genius or a major power, how is she supposed to keep working at Shrek? Even her husband, Fan Yu, wouldn't be able to protect her!"

"Hey—speaking of the Senior Brother, look over there. Doesn't that person look like him?"

It was unclear who had started this conversation.

The few people from Class Nine near the direction of Class One instantly raised their heads to look over.

This group included the three girls: Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yun'er.

"Ning Tian, it really does look like the Senior Brother!"

"Yun'er, look quickly!"

Wu Feng also pointed over there with great excitement.

Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er both turned their gazes in that direction as well.

Upon confirming it was indeed Jiang Yang, smiles instantly appeared on the faces of the two girls.

"Let's go! Let's go see!"

Without a second thought, Ning Tian immediately took off the iron vest she had been wearing.

"Ah? What about Teacher Zhou then?"

"Don't worry about that. I've already had my father contact the academy to transfer us to Class One. I don't believe she would dare to expel us!"

Ning Tian declared.

Ignoring Nanmen Yun'er's confusion, she immediately sprinted toward the side of Class One.

Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er merely exchanged a glance before taking off their iron vests and following closely behind Ning Tian.

"Hey?!"

"What do you think you're doing!!"

"Are you trying to disregard my orders?!!"

Zhou Yi, having snapped back to reality, roared at Ning Tian and the others.

However, it was clear that the three girls had no intention of paying her any mind.

At the same time, Mu Jin's voice, "The match officially begins—" echoed in the hearts of everyone present.

Hearing this, Ning Tian couldn't help but increase her speed even further.

However, just as she accelerated, Dai Huabin made his move!

"Third Soul Skill—"

"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

"First Soul Skill—"

"White Tiger Protection Barrier!"

"Second Soul Skill—"

"White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"

In a brief moment, Dai Huabin unleashed three soul skills.

To avoid being taken out instantly, he had specifically used his third soul skill first, followed by his first, maximizing his defensive capabilities.

Only after doing all this did he unleash his second soul skill to attack.

At this moment, the crowd was astonished to discover that Dai Huabin was actually a three-ring Soul Elder.

Even Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie were two-ring Soul Grand Masters, far above the level of the average freshman.

Such a combination would be more than enough to handle a three-ring Soul Elder of the same level, let alone one who couldn't even use their soul skills or martial soul.

"I protest!"

"This is too underhanded!!"

"Teacher Mu Jin, this isn't fair, this is extremely unfair! Dai Huabin and the others are cheating!!!"
