Outer Court Boss!

The moment Li Wei finished speaking, Lin Ming strode briskly onto the podium.

He could not be bothered to wait for others to go first before making his move. What he wanted was to crush everyone else's hopes outright and take the class monitor position without suspense.

Everyone's gaze focused on the boy who had stepped onto the podium.

Lin Ming's appearance could be said to utterly outclass his peers. His youthful face had handsome features, and whenever his bright eyes swept over the female students, a wave of blushing would follow.

It could be said that Lin Ming's face fulfilled the fantasy most girls had of what their ideal person would look like in their youth.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Lin Ming." Lin Ming began his introduction directly. "I am twelve years old. My Martial Soul is the Sky-Propping Spear, and I am a level-forty-five assault-type Soul Ancestor."

The moment those words came out, a chorus of sharp breaths rose from below the podium.

Twelve years old and level forty-five—what kind of monster was that?

What Shrek Outer Court students desired most was to gain admission into the legendary Inner Court.

Generally speaking, anyone who reached the Soul King realm at level fifty before turning eighteen would qualify to take the Inner Court assessment and would have a high chance of passing it.

Yet the boy on the podium was only twelve, and his Soul Power was already close to level fifty. It was fair to say he had practically secured an early admission into the Inner Court.

"Student Lin Ming, could you release your Martial Soul and show it to the class?"

As a teacher at Shrek, Li Wei was naturally not some foolish person who blindly doubted others. She merely asked Lin Ming to give his classmates a demonstration.

Lin Ming nodded, then released his Martial Soul.

With the Sky-Propping Spear in hand, Lin Ming's Spirit Rings slowly emerged.

When the second purple Spirit Ring appeared, the familiar sound of gasping rang out again, even more intense than before.

When the fourth ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring appeared, Li Wei nearly cried out.

The entire class looked as though they had seen a ghost.

Two thousand-year rings were already outrageous enough, and he even had a ten-thousand-year fourth ring?

The pressure emanating from that ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring caused quite a few students to release their Martial Souls instinctively, trying to resist it.

A uniform sea of yellow Spirit Rings appeared. Only Beibei, the Soul Elder, barely withstood the pressure without releasing his Martial Soul, though his face was pale at the moment.

One had to know that Lin Ming's ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring was not an illusion like Huo Yuhao's—it was a genuine ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring.

Seeing that some of the lower-level students were about to be unable to endure it, Li Wei hurriedly said, "Student Lin Ming, quickly put away your Martial Soul."

Lin Ming withdrew his Martial Soul, and the pressure immediately vanished.

"My goal is to become the boss of the entire Outer Court!"

If anyone else had said such words, they would certainly have drawn universal condemnation and endless mockery. But Lin Ming was different.

At his current level, there were not many students even in the upper grades who surpassed him. He had every right to say that.

At that moment, the classmates' gazes toward Lin Ming were filled with admiration.

Quite a few female students were already imagining a future with Lin Ming.

The male students, meanwhile, were more impressed by his absolute strength.

"All right, Student Lin Ming has introduced himself and wishes to serve as class monitor. Is there anyone who wishes to compete with him?"

Li Wei's words simply fell flat. No one answered them at all.

What a joke. Aside from Lin Ming and Beibei, there was not even a third person in the class above level thirty. What could they possibly use to compete for class monitor?

By now, Lin Ming had won the recognition of the entire class. Even those who were confident in their own strength and had ambitions would not dare covet his position as class monitor in the slightest.

"Good. Since no one wishes to compete, Student Lin Ming will be our class monitor!" Li Wei's face was filled with a heartfelt smile.

With such an outstanding student in the class she was teaching, she could already imagine the day she received a promotion and a raise.

"All right, Student Lin Ming, please return to your seat. Next is the selection for vice class monitor."

Encouraged by Lin Ming, Beibei was the first to walk onto the podium.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Beibei. I am twelve years old. My Martial Soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and I am a level-thirty-three assault-type Soul Elder!"

His recent hard training had successfully raised Beibei's Soul Power by another level.

But there was no pride on his face. After all, his brilliance could at most be considered starlight, while at his side stood a sun like Lin Ming. There was nothing to be proud of in the light of a mere star.

Beibei's bid for vice class monitor still drew some doubt. Two assault-type Soul Grandmasters in their twenties believed their strength was no weaker than that of an ordinary Soul Elder, so they challenged Beibei.

Since there were no classes on the first day anyway, Li Wei simply led the entire class to the Outer Court arena.

"You two can come at me together."

After spending so much time with Lin Ming, Beibei had also picked up quite a few cutting remarks.

With their homeroom teacher Li Wei's permission, all three stepped onto the arena at the same time.

"Friendship first. Stop when appropriate. You have one minute to release your Martial Souls. The spar begins."

After explaining the rules, Li Wei retreated to the edge of the arena. For a spar between a Soul Elder and Soul Grandmasters, she, a Soul King, was more than capable of ensuring their safety.

"Wang Gang, Martial Soul: Earth Bear. Level-twenty-seven assault-type Soul Grandmaster!" Two yellow Spirit Rings rose beneath his feet.

"Li Qing, Martial Soul: Wind-Breaking Sword. Level-twenty-eight assault-type Soul Grandmaster!" He likewise had two yellow Spirit Rings.

Beibei said nothing and merely released his Martial Soul.

Accompanied by a majestic dragon roar, the phantom of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon emerged behind him.

Then came three Spirit Rings—two yellow and one purple.

A closer look revealed that Beibei's second Spirit Ring already carried a faint purple tint, a sign that it was extremely close to a thousand years old.

Wang Gang and Li Qing attacked at the same time.

An Earth Bear Martial Soul excelled most at strength. Wang Gang's current strength could already rival that of an ordinary Soul Elder, which was why he was confident enough to challenge Beibei.

With the Wind-Breaking Sword's armor-piercing properties, Li Qing could also unleash combat power comparable to a Soul Elder.

Unfortunately, they had encountered Beibei.

Beibei was no ordinary Soul Elder. Lin Ming beating him senseless did not mean he was weak; it only meant Lin Ming was too strong.

Facing their assault, Beibei directly lit up the first yellow Spirit Ring beneath his feet.

His hands transformed into Blue Lightning Dragon Claws as he met both attacks.

His left claw struck Wang Gang, sending him back with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's domineering force. The accompanying current left Wang Gang's hands slightly numb.

His right claw met the Wind-Breaking Sword. The sword's armor-piercing property was blocked by the scales on Beibei's dragon claw and could not take effect.

Instead, Beibei's lightning traveled along the Wind-Breaking Sword and numbed Li Qing.

Taking advantage of their numbness, Beibei pressed his advantage. The second yellow-purple Spirit Ring beneath his feet lit up. "Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Might!"

Lightning serpents surged wildly around him. At that moment, Beibei resembled a humanoid thunder dragon, beating Wang Gang and Li Qing back step by step.

In the end, the two could not even use their Soul Skills before they were blasted off the arena.

"Beibei wins. Therefore, the position of vice class monitor will be held by Beibei!"

Thus, the selection of the class monitor and vice class monitor for Class One, Year One came to an end.

Lin Ming claimed the class monitor position through absolute strength, while Beibei also secured the vice class monitor position with his formidable power.
