New Student Assessment, The Mighty Class Nine

On the other side, Dai Huabin rushed to the office of the Dean of the Martial Soul Department to accuse Yu Daoyun of being a disgrace and bullying lower-grade students.

Yan Shaozhe paid no mind to this, assuming it was just Dai Huabin running his mouth.

Yu Daoyun was, after all, a disciple of Mu En; he wouldn't bully others without cause.

However, Dai Huabin refused to give up, bringing up his ancestors' merits and shouting that his forebears and the White Tiger Family had bled and wept for the continent, so they could not simply ignore this.

The corner of Yan Shaozhe's mouth twitched as he replied, "This is an academy, not your White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Whose ancestors haven't bled or wept for the continent? Stop bringing that bureaucratic nonsense into the academy; the academy is not your home."

After being scolded, Dai Huabin left the Martial Soul Department looking dejected.

Watching the students sweating like rain on the training grounds, Dai Huabin gritted his teeth and muttered, "I will definitely crush you all in the New Student Assessment. Just wait; I will prove to everyone that the White Tiger Martial Soul is the strongest."

After throwing out that harsh threat, Dai Huabin stormed off.

Zhu Lu followed closely behind him like a little lackey.

In the days that followed, Ning Tian and her two companions from Class Nine entered a tense and exhilarating special training program, personally overseen by Yu Daoyun, who whipped them into perfect shape.

As for Dai Huabin's attempt to file a complaint with the Martial Soul Department, it naturally made no waves.

Yu Daoyun was teaching at the Outer Court under the direct orders of Mu En; even Yan Shaozhe had to show him some respect and could not afford to offend him lightly.

Just like that, three months flew by, and the New Student Assessment began.

Under Yu Daoyun's tutelage, Wu Feng's Soul Power Level broke through to the three-ring realm, and she obtained her third Soul Ring before the assessment began.

Ning Tian's Soul Power Level reached level 35, and Nanmen Yun'er reached level 31.

After three months of training, Class Nine had transformed into a team consisting entirely of three-ring Soul Masters, shocking the entire Outer Court.

One had to realize that gaining five or even six levels in a single month was nearly impossible.

Yet, Yu Daoyun had managed to do exactly that, giving Zhou Yi a resounding slap in the face.

There is no such thing as impossible; there is only the question of whether one is generous enough and works hard enough.

On the first day of the New Student Tournament, Class Nine advanced by crushing their opponents, with the agility-type Nanmen Yun'er giving everyone a lesson.

Although agility-type Soul Masters are often said to have attacks as weak as scraping, if you scrape fast enough and hard enough, you are no longer just an agility-type.

In the matches that followed, Ning Tian's team successively defeated Class Three, Class Seven, Class Four, Class Two, and Class Ten, becoming the strongest team.

This was not just an absolute suppression of Soul Power, but also a result of unconventional tactics and proficient combat techniques that sent their opponents fleeing in panic.

By the time they faced Class One today, the two Deans of the Soul Tool Department and the Martial Soul Department had come to watch the battle in person.

As soon as Yan Shaozhe arrived, he showered Yu Daoyun with praise: "It has been a long time since our academy has seen such a capable instructor. You brat, you really are a genius to have trained Class Nine into such a dazzling sight, hahaha..."

Xian Lin'er rolled her eyes and rebuked Yan Shaozhe: "Why are you only offering verbal praise without any real action? You could at least take out a Soul Bone to reward him."

Yan Shaozhe's smile instantly vanished.

Using a Soul Bone as a reward? That would be the death of him.

Who didn't know that the Bright Phoenix Douluo had the nickname "Iron Rooster"? Getting money out of his pockets was nothing but a pipe dream.

Thus, Yan Shaozhe could only say, "Oh, the Martial Soul Department's funds have been a bit tight lately. I would love to reward Yu Daoyun, but there's simply nothing I can do."

In the spectator stands, the corner of Yu Daoyun's mouth twitched as he said, "It's fine, I'm not short on money. The funds for the Dragon Blood I bought last time were reimbursed by the academy, right? I must thank Dean Yan for his help; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to afford the Dragon Blood."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Shaozhe's expression changed instantly.

That's right!

The Dragon Blood!

That brat had spent tens of millions of Gold Soul Coins on Dragon Blood—all of it shiny, hard-earned Gold Soul Coins—and the money had all come out of the Martial Soul Department's coffers.

The mere thought of it made Yan Shaozhe feel physically ill.

Watching the pained expression on Yan Shaozhe's face, Yu Daoyun let out a series of chuckles.

So satisfying!

Beside them, Xian Lin'er watched this scene and let out a silent sigh.

This was a battle between an Iron Rooster and a Gold-Devouring Beast; the outcome was self-evident. The Gold-Devouring Beast, Yu Daoyun, had won.

Subsequently, the three of them turned their attention back to the arena, observing the clash between Huo Yuhao's team and Ning Tian's team.

Down on the sidelines, Zhou Yi was incredibly nervous.

Class Nine was like an army of kings, defeating their opponents with effortless grace.

Huo Yuhao and his team, however, were struggling to hold on and were on the verge of being stopped here.

If they lost, she would have to apologize to that little brat, Yu Daoyun.

At the thought of this, Zhou Yi felt a deep sense of distress and shouted, "Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, you must give it your all!"

In the arena.

Wu Feng swung her fist, striking Xiao Xiao's Three-Life Soul Cauldron, and unleashed her first Soul Skill, Dragon's Fire.

Whoosh--!

Red high-temperature flames immediately sprayed out, and Xiao Xiao retreated repeatedly. Wu Feng pursued his victory, and his second soul ring lit up.

"Second Soul Skill, Dragon's Fury."

With a thud, Xiao Xiao's large cauldron was sent flying by the powerful-looking Wu Feng.

Xiao Xiao was in danger.

Wang Dong, in mid-air, wanted to help but was constantly entangled by Nanmen Yun'er and couldn't break free. Even Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection and spiritual sharing couldn't find a weakness.

Wang Dong gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Damn agile-type Soul Master, get out of my way."

Nanmen Yun'er snorted lightly and responded to Wang Dong with Jade Slash.

Green blades flew out one after another, repelling Wang Dong.

Just then, Huo Yuhao saw Xiao Xiao, who was pushed to a desperate situation, and shouted to Brother Tian Meng in his sea of consciousness, "Brother Tian Meng, I'm going to win!!"

"Got it!"

Tian Meng lazily stretched his body and unleashed an ultra-powerful spiritual shock.

Wu Feng, who was fighting, staggered. He suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his sea of consciousness, as if his brain was about to explode.

However, all of this had already been discovered by the highly perceptive Ning Tian.

She had been watching the first-ring Soul Master from the very beginning, waiting for this moment.

Ning Tian held the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and instantly recited the soul incantation.

"Seven Treasures have names, the second is 'Dispel'."

Following a beam of light that shot onto Wu Feng, all negative effects and spiritual attacks were nullified. Wu Feng kicked Xiao Xiao down.

Huo Yuhao was greatly alarmed.

How could this be!

Did he cheat, and still can't win?

Tian Meng in the sea of consciousness exclaimed, "It's over, Yuhao. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master on the opposite side never used their second soul skill from the start. I thought it was an amplification soul skill, but I didn't expect it to be a skill that dispels all negative effects. We're finished."

Huo Yuhao asked, "Brother Tian Meng, what do you mean by a skill that dispels all negative effects? I've never heard of it."

"It means it can dispel all attacks. Even if you use an attack soul skill on him, it will be purified in an instant. It's a very unsolvable soul skill, equivalent to a Titled Douluo attacking you. As long as you control it properly, you can instantly dispel the attack," Tian Meng explained.
