"Next candidate, Dai Huabin!"

Gong Changlong's voice echoed in the Beast Arena, and the originally noisy discussions quieted down somewhat.

Mu Jin stood on the sidelines, having already flipped through several pages of the roster in her hand.

She glanced down at the score record: Xiao Xiao 120 points, Cui Yajie 120 points, Wang Dong'er 145 points, and Zhu Lu 150 points.

Four people, the lowest score is 120.

In all her years as a teacher, having taught countless classes, she had never seen a class produce such a result.

These four people were all personally trained by Dai Huabin.

Now, it's my turn to take the stage.

Mu Jin took a deep breath, a strange sense of anticipation rising within her. It would be a lie to say she wasn't happy to have such a student.

On the sidelines, Lan Susu nudged Lan Luoluo's arm.

"Little sister, how many points do you think Dai Huabin will get?"

Lan Luoluo thought for a moment, "Zhu Lu got full marks, he can't possibly get lower than Zhu Lu, right?"

"Isn't that still a perfect score? A perfect score is the maximum."

"Let's see how quickly he finishes."

Wu Feng stood at the back of the line, her attention entirely focused on Dai Huabin.

The information about Zhu Lu's martial soul evolution and her ten-thousand-year soul ring kept swirling in her mind.

If Dai Huabin really has a way to Martial Soul Evolution...

But she really couldn't bear to part with the young master.

Wu Feng subconsciously clenched his fist, then quickly relaxed it.

No, let's see first.

Dai Huabin walked to the center of the field, Gong Changlong flipped through the information card in his hand.

"Dai Huabin, Second-Year Class One, Grade 2, individual assessment."

Gong Changlong looked up and sized him up.

"Which area would you like to choose?"

Dai Huabin stopped, but did not answer immediately.

He glanced around at the two sections of the inner circle of the Beast Arena: the Hundred Years and the Thousand Years.

Zhu Lu just got a perfect score in the Millennium region. If he also chooses the Millennium region, he can certainly win, but it would be too boring.

Besides, his purpose in standing here today is not just to pass the assessment.

Seated on the viewing platform were Yan Shaozhe, Cai Mei'er, Xian Lin'er, Qian Duoduo, and Xuan Zi —the true power holders of the academy. He needed to show them enough to secure more resources and influence in the days to come.

"Elder Gong," Dai Huabin began.

Gong Changlong raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"

"I wonder if it's possible to choose Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

After these words were spoken, the Beast Arena fell silent for about two seconds.

Then it was like someone had stepped on a bomb switch.

"Ten thousand years? He said ten thousand years!"

"Is he insane? Even if he's Soul Ancestor, there's no reason for him to challenge Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

"You know, even an ordinary Five-Ring Soul King might not be able to defeat Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and he's only a four-ring Soul King!"

"No, no, Zhu Lu was also at the fourth ring just now, but her martial soul evolved! Could Dai Huabin's martial soul have evolved too?"

The discussion on the sidelines immediately erupted.

Mu Jin tightened her grip on the roster. She opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing. Knowing Dai Huabin as she did, this student never did anything without being sure of success.

Wang Dong'er stood there, stunned.

She turned to look at Zhu Lu, Zhu Lu expression was calm, with even a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth.

"Lulu, the class monitor, he..."

"Don't worry," Zhu Lu replied simply.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but lean closer. "Lulu, how come you're not nervous at all? It's a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

Zhu Lu tilted her head. "Because he's Huabin."

This statement sounded so self-evident that Xiao Xiao couldn't find a reason to refute it for a moment.

Cui Yajie muttered under her breath, "Every time I watch you two talk, my teeth ache."

Ice Empress crossed her arms and snorted, "Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? In the Far North, that's just a watchdog squatting at my door."

Snow Empress glanced at Ice Empress: "Keep your voice down."

I'm telling the truth.

On the field, Gong Changlong stared at Dai Huabin for a long while.

He held the whistle in one hand, and with the other hand behind his back, his fingers rhythmically tapping the Soul Tool communication array at his waist.

Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

As Titled Douluo, Gong Changlong could easily deal with Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and he was absolutely confident in his safety.

The problem is that no student has ever voluntarily applied for the "perpetual zone" Class Promotion Assessment, because that's simply not within the assessment scope.

He glanced back at the spectator stands.

Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly.

Gong Changlong withdrew his gaze, stared at the blond boy in front of him, and let out a short laugh.

"Good lad, I've been a referee for over twenty years and I've never encountered a second-year student who dared to target Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

He paused, then changed his tone:

"I don't know if you really have the ability or if you're just putting on an act. But seeing your demeanor, I'll make an exception this time!"

Gong Changlong raised his hand and gestured towards the management area deep inside the venue.

The iron gate slowly opened.

A deep, muffled growl came from the depths of the passage, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

A massive Soul Beast emerged from the darkness.

It was a ten-thousand-year-old Iron Spine Rhino, its body covered with gray-black armor-like scales, with a row of sharp iron bone spikes standing upright on its back. It was nearly three meters tall at the shoulder, and every step its four thick legs took left deep cracks in the ground.

It has a single, dark horn over a meter long on its nose, with a faint, earthy-yellow glow of Soul Power flowing around it.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Spine Rhino a defensive Soul Beast, renowned for its thick hide and tough flesh. It can withstand a head-on collision without suffering any losses. Although its speed is not fast, when it charges, even an ordinary Five-Ring Soul King would suffer broken bones from a single blow.

On the viewing platform, Qian Duoduo finally perked up completely.

"A ten-thousand-year-old Iron Spine Rhino? That thing has hides as thick as a city wall; it's very difficult to break through its defenses with a pure strength-based fighting style."

Xian Lin'er shook her head. "If he also possessed Ultimate Ice, then it wouldn't be so certain. Ultimate Attribute inherently possess stronger penetrating and suppressive power."

Yan Shaozhe didn't say anything, holding the now-cold teacup without taking a single sip.

Cai Mei'er, quite honestly, picked up the snacks on the table and continued eating, mumbling something indistinctly as she ate:

"Stop analyzing, just look."

Xuan Zi had just started eating a new chicken leg when he heard Cai Mei'er's words, and he nodded in agreement, which was rare for him.

Inside the arena, the ancient Iron Spine Rhino had completely exited the passage.

It tilted its head and sized up the human in front of it, exhaling two thick gusts of air from its nostrils. In its perception, the little two-legged creature in front of it didn't have particularly strong Soul Power.

The Iron Spine Rhino shook the single horn on its head and let out a low, threatening growl.

Dai Huabin stood twenty meters away and stretched his wrists.

He already had a complete plan in mind.

The Iron Spine Rhino, a defensive type, is slow and has a single attack pattern.

The dumbest way to deal with such a tough-skinned Soul Beast is to wear it down, while the smartest way is to break through its defenses in one strike.

He doesn't intend to waste time.

"Ice Soul White Tiger, Possession!"

The moment his Soul Power surged, platinum-gold light burst forth from Dai Huabin's body.

His figure suddenly grew taller in the light, his arms were covered with dense white-gold tiger stripes, and sharp claw blades sprang from his fingertips. Pale blue ice crystal patterns spread from his forehead to his claws and tail.

Four Soul Ring— yellow, yellow, purple, and black—rose in succession and slowly rotated beneath his feet.

That ancient black Soul Ring was particularly eye-catching.

Immediately afterwards, the aura of Ultimate Ice was released without reservation.

The temperature dropped sharply.

The air inside the Beast Arena, still damp from Zhu Lu's earlier attack, had already been covered with a thin layer of frost.

A ring of ice flowers formed on the ground closest to Dai Huabin, spreading outwards for several meters.

Gong Changlong reflexively took half a step back.

This is the second time today that he has been forced back by the Ultimate Ice.

The students outside the arena went wild.

"As expected! Dai Huabin is also Ultimate Ice!"

"He's also a fourth-level ring expert! Just like Zhu Lu!"

"What incredible luck these two have! Their Martial Soul have even evolved!"

"Forget about luck, look at their momentum!"

On the viewing platform, Yan Shaozhe finally put down his teacup.

Cai Mei'er stopped eating snacks.

Xian Lin'er leaned forward, placing her hands on her knees.

Qian Duoduo rubbed her nose and muttered, "Just as I expected."

Xuan Zi remained calm, continuing to gnaw on the chicken leg, chewing it with a satisfying crunch.

After all, Zhu Lu already possessed the Ultimate Ice, so there was no reason for Dai Huabin not to as well. Xuan Zi was more interested in what tricks this kid could pull off.

"Not surprising." Yan Shaozhe finally spoke, his voice low. "Zhu Lu's Martial Soul Evolution is clearly related to the Ultimate Ice, and he is the most crucial person around Zhu Lu. It makes sense that he also possesses the Ultimate Ice."

Cai Mei'er added, "Now there are three people with the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul in one class: Xue Qingyao, Zhu Lu, and Dai Huabin. The Martial Soul Department has really hit the jackpot this time."

Xian Lin'er's expression changed.

Originally, she only had her sights set on Xue Qingyao, thinking about how to snatch the genius of the Ultimate Ice from the Martial Soul Department.

But the situation is different now.

Three Ultimate Ice.

Whether it's Xue Qingyao or Zhu Lu, they all gathered together with Dai Huabin at the core.

To win them over, we must first win over Dai Huabin. Dai Huabin himself is also a genius Soul Master, a level 45 Soul Ancestor a ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, the Ultimate Ice, and a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

If someone like that gets into the Soul Guidance Department, it's a game-changer.

Xian Lin'er took a deep breath and began to consider what price to ask for.

Inside the arena, Dai Huabin didn't give the Iron Spine Rhino much time to react.

The first Soul Ring lit up.

"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protection Barrier"

A platinum-gold shield condensed and took shape on the body's surface, Ultimate Ice merged into the Body Protection Barrier, giving the entire protective layer an extra layer of icy crystal texture.

Immediately afterwards, the Third Soul Ring lit up.
