You Guessed Right, So You Think You Won't Die?

Upon seeing that Dai Huabin had actually kept such a trick up his sleeve, Wang Dong immediately went to protest to Mu Jin.

Xiao Xiao also followed along to chime in.

Even several students who could no longer stand it deliberately walked over to Mu Jin's side to whisper; though they called it a discussion, it was actually an accusation of Dai Huabin's behavior.

It was only because they feared retaliation afterward that they chose this method.

Although it was a relatively mild form of protest, one could still clearly see their dissatisfaction.

"That's right, Teacher Mu Jin. Originally, the Senior Brother was only trying to help us better prepare for the Freshman Assessment, and the stakes were only ten Gold Soul Coins per person. Those ten Gold Soul Coins weren't even going into the Senior Brother's own pocket, but were being kept as class funds that would eventually be spent on us anyway. We were actually getting a bargain."

"Yes, yes! It was already taking up the Senior Brother's time, and they actually cornered him like that. Isn't this a malicious gamble?!"

"Exactly! We think so too, Teacher Mu Jin. This gamble should be declared invalid!"

Once someone took the lead.

The students, who were already filled with indignation at the overbearing conduct of Dai Huabin and his group, completely let go of their reservations and gathered around Mu Jin in unison.

"Do not speak for now. Watch the duel; it will be of great help to your future Freshman Assessment."

"But Teacher, are we just going to let Dai Huabin off like this..."

"Alright, Wang Dong. I know how you feel, and I understand everyone's sentiments. Watch the duel first."

With Mu Jin's words.

The restless hearts of the crowd calmed down slightly, and they all turned their gazes back to the field.

Because Mu Jin was indeed correct; if one wanted to make tangible progress in combat, besides sparring with others, one had to observe how others executed their moves.

Especially when observing those stronger than oneself.

"Senior Brother—"

"It seems your attack missed again!"

"Hahahahahaha..."

Dai Huabin shouted excitedly.

As he spoke, he threw another heavy punch toward Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang raised his arms to block, his figure immediately retreating several steps.

He shook his numb and aching arms slightly, yet there was not a hint of anger on his face; his expression remained calm and steady, showing no signs of impatience.

One must know that for him to withstand a strike from an Evil White Tiger soul master—who had stacked his first and third soul skills—using only his physical body was already an earth-shattering feat.

However, the crowd had extremely high expectations for this outer court Senior Brother, Jiang Yang. Seeing him forced back several steps by Dai Huabin, they could not help but feel a sense of worry.

[Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion: Kid, that guy is a bit strange. I seem to sense an aura that I find repulsive.]

[Jiang Yang: Thanks for the reminder. I already know where the problem lies.]

[Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion: Hmph! You brat, you actually know how to say thank you?]

[Jiang Yang: Although what you said doesn't help the current situation at all, I still thank you.]

[Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion: You!]

"This is getting interesting."

Jiang Yang raised his eyes, sweeping a faint glance at Huo Yuhao, who was hidden behind the crowd with a succubus-like mark imprinted on his forehead, and simply smiled.

Seeing this, Dai Huabin's heart tightened.

Although he was acting arrogant now, he understood that using sneak attacks from the sidelines was extremely dishonorable.

To prevent Jiang Yang from focusing on this, he immediately launched another attack.

Jiang Yang moved instantly as well.

"Senior Brother, I guess you're going to attack my left! Hahahahaha..."

Utilizing the Spiritual Detection Sharing provided by Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin could precisely see Jiang Yang's movements even without the use of martial souls or soul skills.

But even so, with the help of Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie, it was still difficult for him to take down Jiang Yang in a short amount of time.

This was why he conceived the idea of using this method to provoke Jiang Yang, hoping to distract him and subsequently defeat him.

Truly a cunning scheme.

"You are quite good at guessing."

Jiang Yang smiled faintly.

The punch that was indeed aimed at Dai Huabin's left side went straight through his block and smashed down heavily.

In an instant.

Not only did Dai Huabin retreat, but the granite beneath his feet also cracked in response.

A long, deep trench was instantly carved into the granite under his feet!

"What is going on?!"

"What?!"

"Ah--"

The onlookers were dumbfounded, and even Huo Yuhao, who had been hiding in the shadows providing support to Dai Huabin, felt his eyes light up involuntarily.

That was to say nothing of Dai Huabin, who was currently being suppressed by Jiang Yang.

A sudden, indescribable sense of trepidation rose from the depths of his heart, as if he were standing on the edge of life and death, a bone-chilling coldness washing over him.

"I refuse to accept this!"

"Ah!!!"

"Every move you make cannot escape my sight! Let's see how you dodge this!!"

"Second Soul Skill--"

"White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"

Dai Huabin roared several times, immediately unleashing his soul skill to fight back.

Now that Jiang Yang was going all out, even without using his martial soul or soul skills, his speed was still far beyond what an ordinary Soul Elder could compare to.

He dodged Dai Huabin's furious strike instantly.

Turning around, he threw another plain, unadorned punch, heading straight for Dai Huabin's face.

The speed was so fast.

Even with the added benefit of Spiritual Detection Sharing, Dai Huabin had to cross his arms to defend.

Bang--

The two were instantly extremely close, almost face to face.

"Just because you guessed right, did you think you wouldn't die?"

After Jiang Yang finished speaking, he exerted a sudden burst of force.

Dai Huabin was immediately sent flying back dozens of meters, his feet churning up the stone tiles as if a sturdy water buffalo had just finished plowing the field.

"Hah--"

"Pfft!"

Dai Huabin, who had originally wanted to swallow the mouthful of crimson blood in his throat to avoid losing face, finally spat it out.

"Huabin!"

"Dai Huabin!!"

Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie immediately moved to Dai Huabin's side, one on the left and one on the right, supporting him to keep him from falling backward.

That would have been even more embarrassing.

However.

It was precisely because of this support that the two of them instantly felt the tremors radiating from Dai Huabin's body.

"How are you?"

"Are you alright?"

Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie asked almost simultaneously.

But Dai Huabin had no way to reply to them immediately.

Because he was currently suffering from internal injuries, his internal organs were all vibrating.

He had to slow down and recover before he could act again.

Due to their years of tacit understanding.

Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie immediately let go of Dai Huabin and stepped forward, flanking him on either side.

They were guarding against a sudden attack from Jiang Yang.

However.

Jiang Yang did not seem to have any intention of pressing his advantage; he still stood with his hands behind his back, his expression carrying a faint, casual air.

Even so.

Dai Huabin did not dare to attack rashly again, because he had a premonition.

That was, if he did not admit defeat and continued to attack, then he could kiss his internal organs goodbye.

"Teacher, I surr--"

"Dai Huabin! You haven't lost yet! Keep attacking, trust me! You will win!"
