Jiang Nannan Wanted to Know the Gap! Dai Huabin's Team Crushed the Field, and the Second Years Claimed All Seven Spots
Jiang Nannan remained silent for two seconds.
Of course she knew she couldn't win.
In terms of Soul Power Level alone, she was level 41, while her opponent was level 45, a difference of one level.
Her opponent also had Ultimate Ice Domain covering the entire area, and her Gravity Control was reduced to at least 70% of its efficiency under the suppression of the extreme cold.
But she didn't turn around, nor did she raise her hand to admit defeat.
"Junior."
Jiang Nannan spoke, her voice earnest.
"Although I may not be able to beat you, I want to see the difference between us."
Although Jiang Nannan was born into a commoner family, she had her own pride and her own principles. This time, she wanted to see how much she was lacking compared to a true genius.
Upon hearing this, several students who had initially intended to remain still instinctively turned their heads to the side.
Dai Huabin chuckled, "Okay."
He turned around and said something to Zhu Lu.
"Lulu, go clear the area. We'll take these seven spots."
Zhu Lu nodded, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the students huddled in the corners.
It didn't take long to clear the area on Zhu Lu's side.
The people in the corner didn't have strong Soul Power to begin with, and after spending so much time in the two domains, their Soul Power reserves were less than half left.
Zhu Lu withdrew the full attribute amplification of the Hell Ghost Shadow, and simply moved around using the speed of the Ice Shadow Spirit Cat Possession, which was enough for two or three moves.
Cui Yajie cooperated very well.
Her Purple Demon Eye swept across, and her third Soul Skill, "Dream-Clearing Soul-Eroding," spread out over a wide area, suppressing the students' mental speed by almost two beats.
The Charm followed, and then the second Soul Skill, "Fox Tail Needle," precisely targeted acupoints, one needle at a time.
Her long pink hair swung in an arc as she retracted the Fox Tail Needle. Cui Yajie clapped her hands. "Done."
Xiao Xiao stood guard beside her, the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron hovering beside her, its Three-Cauldron Form unfolding, ready at any moment to unleash the third Soul Skill "Cauldron Might" for all attributes and the second Soul Skill "Cauldron Defense's Defense" for both defense and power, before using the First Soul Skill, Cauldron Shock's Tremor.
However, it's basically never used.
Ning Tian's triple amplification remained on Wang Dong'er without being removed. Wang Dong'er's Wing Blade Guillotine swept out, Golden Radiance edge of the blade struck the defense of the last student who tried to escape, shattering the opponent's defense on the spot.
"Out of the game."
With the cooperation of six people, the remaining stragglers were cleared from the field in just over a minute.
Ning Tian watched this smooth and effortless performance, silently calculating his own contribution ratio in his mind, and felt a little awkward.
Her triple boost to strength, speed, and spirit was useful to Wang Dong'er, but in a battle of this scale, her own Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was merely a support, not enough to create a significant difference in strength.
Wu Feng didn't come in from outside the arena. Ning Tian glanced at the edge and saw Wu Feng standing there, his expression somewhat complicated.
Meanwhile, Dai Huabin and Jiang Nannan had already started.
Jiang Nannan didn't test them at all and immediately unleashed her First Soul Skill.
"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow!"
As her Yellow Soul Ring lit up, her entire demeanor instantly shifted, maximizing her speed, jumping ability, and close-quarters combat prowess.
Her movement on the ice became extremely erratic, leaping left and right, making sharp turns, and darting back, pushing the agile attack characteristics of the Soft Bone Rabbit to the limit.
Dai Huabin did not rush to use his claws, but stood still and slightly adjusted his center of gravity.
His Spiritual Detection spread out, capturing every subtle change in Jiang Nannan's movements. It wasn't about tracking her with his eyes, but about using his senses to cover her entire being.
Jiang Nannan rushed within five meters, twisted her waist, and punched with the penetrating force unique to the Soft Bone Rabbit.
Dai Huabin turned to the side, Ice Soul White Tiger parried him with its claws.
When their hands met, most of Jiang Nannan's attack was deflected, but she used the force to turn and finish off the attack with her other hand.
The movements were fluid and continuous, without any pauses.
Dai Huabin took half a step back, clearing the way.
Jiang Nannan didn't chase, but created distance and used her second Soul Skill.
"Second Soul Skill: Gravity Control!"
She altered the direction of gravity within a two-meter radius of Dai Huabin's feet, causing a sudden increase in gravity, as if trying to press him down.
Dai Huabin's steps faltered.
But only for a moment.
With the White Tiger Vajra Transformation granting all attribute boosts, doubling his strength and defense, and given Dai Huabin's own powerful foundation built upon the fusion of the Life Gold and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the impact of this gravity change was limited.
He pushed off with his feet, leaving a crack in the ice, and burst out of the gravitational field.
Jiang Nannan frowned.
My second Soul Skill, Gravity Control, didn't work?
Without saying a word, she used her third Soul Skill.
"Third Soul Skill, Teleportation!"
With a spatial displacement of five meters, she disappeared from Dai Huabin's left front and appeared to his right rear, her fist aimed straight for his back.
Dai Huabin did not turn around.
He shifted half a step to the left, while simultaneously making a subtle swipe to the right rear with his right arm's Earth-Splitting Claw.
The extremely cold claw-like wind swept over, and Jiang Nannan dodged, her attack missing its mark.
She missed, then Teleportation again, dodged again, and attacked again.
I've used up all three Teleportation.
Jiang Nannan stopped in the middle of the field, her breathing becoming heavier.
The suppression from the Ultimate Ice Domain was all-encompassing; her Soul Power circulation was about 30% slower than normal.
The energy consumption for three Teleportation is higher than usual.
Dai Huabin never went all out; he was always just parrying attacks.
Jiang Nannan looked up at him.
Dai Huabin stood there casually, the white-gold stripes on the Ice Soul White Tiger still glowing, without using any Soul Skill.
"Senior, is the Invincible Golden Body still available?" Dai Huabin asked.
Jiang Nannan paused for a second, then said, "Three more times."
"Then I'll make my move."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black Soul Ring of his fourth Soul Skill lit up.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Ice Soul Earth-Splitting Claw!"
Its claws, wrapped in extreme cold, charged straight at the front, moving at a slightly slower speed than when it fought Xu Sanshi, but its suppressive power was still overwhelming.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Body!"
Jiang Nannan's Invincible Golden Body lasted for five seconds, during which the claw struck the golden body without causing any damage.
But after five seconds, the golden body disappeared.
Dai Huabin's second attack has already begun.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Body!"
The second Invincible Golden Body held up.
Five seconds later, the golden body disappeared.
Third claw.
Jiang Nannan gritted her teeth, "Fourth Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Body!"
The fourth Soul Ring lit up for the third time, but this time Dai Huabin did not use his claw.
Dai Huabin stopped and stood two meters away from Jiang Nannan.
"Senior, we've used up all three."
Jiang Nannan was taken aback.
Three Invincible Golden Body are the limit for today; once you've used them all, that's it.
But she didn't lose a single drop of blood, because it was all blocked by her Invincible Golden Body.
Dai Huabin was forcing her to exhaust all her means of survival.
This tactic is clean, efficient, and concise.
Jiang Nannan slowly relaxed her strength, and the state of Martial Soul Possession began to recede.
"Junior, I've lost."
She took a step back, preparing to turn and walk to the sidelines.
My foot touched the edge of the ice and slipped.
She leaned to the side, reaching out to grab something, but there was nothing there.
Then someone helped her up.
It was Dai Huabin.
He turned to the side, put one arm around her waist, and supported her to prevent her from falling.
"Senior, be careful!"
This was said very naturally, without any deliberate effort.
Jiang Nannan's pretty face flushed red instantly. After regaining her balance, she immediately took a half-step back. "Th... thank you."
Her voice was a little shy.
Dai Huabin had already withdrawn his hand and took two steps back nonchalantly, as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Nannan cursed herself in her heart and walked to the sidelines with her back to everyone. The heat on the back of her neck took a while to subside.
She wasn't quite sure what she was thinking either.
I just feel that this junior...
They're a bit difficult to deal with.
"Jiang Nannan is out."
There were only six people left in the venue.
Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Ning Tian, Cui Yajie, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao.
Including Snow Empress, who had already been admitted through a special program, there are exactly seven.
Xuan Zi casually tossed the chicken bone aside, stood up, and his voice echoed throughout the area.
"Alright, stop. All spots are filled."
He glanced at the six people in the arena, then looked up at Snow Empress standing at the edge of the spectator area.
"Final Qualifying List: Xue Qingyao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Cui Yajie, Ning Tian."
Seven names.
There was a silence on the sidelines for about three seconds before someone reacted first.
"Are they all second graders?"
"And they're all people connected to that Dai Huabin!"
Xuan Zi ignored the discussions and looked directly at Dai Huabin.
"The seven of you, report to the Inner Academy tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Xuan Zi turned and left, his figure disappearing from the stands in an instant, and Du Weilun didn't say anything.
What needs to be said will be known when the group arrives at the Inner Academy tomorrow.
There was a silence on the sidelines for nearly five seconds.
Then Cui Yajie spoke first, her voice tinged with barely suppressed smugness.
"So we won?"
Xiao Xiao emerged from the state of being possessed by the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, letting out a sigh of relief. The little girl, supporting herself on her knees, took a couple of breaths.
"Yes, we won!"
Wang Dong'er stood to the side, her light blue hair a little messy. She raised her hand to smooth it, her expression remaining composed, but the tips of her ears were slightly red.
Ning Tian stood behind them, silently calculating in his mind how his performance today compared to the overall level of Dai Huabin's group...
Never mind, let's not talk about it.
Ning Tian turned his head and looked in Dai Huabin's direction.
The other person was talking to Zhu Lu, and both of them remained calm.
Zhu Lu was so calm because she had already consumed the Immortal Herb and had also formed a contract with the Snow Empress.
Defeating Bei Bei is only natural!
