The Dagger Revealed

Before Wang Dong could step forward, an elderly man in a gray robe approached from a distance.

"Xiao Wang, be more patient."

With a gourd in his left hand and a chicken leg in his right, the gray-robed old man, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, declared, "Shrek cultivates monsters, not trash."

Daring to compete and fight—that's a monster. Following the rules, being cowardly and incompetent—that's trash.

Wang Yan quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "I am deeply grateful for your guidance."

The old man in the gray robe drank wine and ate meat. "How many participants are there?"

"Core disciples of the Martial Soul Department: twelve in the second year, seven in the third year, four in the fourth year, and three in the fifth year."

"One core disciple from the Soul Guidance Department in the second year, and one in the fifth year."

Wang Yan bowed again, "The Martial Soul Department has a total of twenty-six people, and all twenty-six are present. The Soul Guidance Department has a total of two people, and both are present."

"Hmm, take him in." The gray-robed old man swayed as he turned into the Soul Battle Area.

The sun shone brightly, yet the down-on-his-luck drunkard Tangled Feet. Wang Yan sighed, saying nothing more. Another outstanding junior, another moment that stirred his emotions.

The Soul Battle Area remains unchanged despite the lack of referees and spectators.

The gray-robed elder stood in the center of the arena, and the twenty-eight core disciples immediately took their positions.

"The selection process is very simple."

The old man in gray robes picked up his gourd and drank it all in one gulp. "A free-for-all, seven advance, the rest are eliminated."

"The battle area is the entire arena. Anyone who voluntarily surrenders and is rescued by me will also be eliminated."

Before the words were even finished, the twenty-eight core disciples instantly split into several factions.

Wu Feng, Ning Tian, Zhu Lu, Dai Huabin, and Xie Huanyue immediately moved closer.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong then approached the Bai Cai, while Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Cao Jinxuan, and Zhou Sicheng quickly joined the Bai Cai Team.

The core disciples of the third grade, the core disciples of the fourth grade, and the core disciples of the fifth grade were instantly divided into three camps.

Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the dark-skinned youth and quickly ran towards the fifth-grade group.

Big fish eat little fish, little fish eat shrimp. The two members of the Soul Guidance Department are outnumbered and outmatched, and will inevitably be the first to be eliminated.

"The selection begins." The gray-robed elder vanished in an instant.

The Soul Ring gleamed, the tension was palpable, and neither dared to make the first move, resulting in a strange stalemate.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Hell White Tiger instantly ranked among the top.

They can instantly kill defensive Soul Ancestor, offensive Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and control Martial Soul Fusion Skill. The Bai Cai Team and its affiliated members possess unparalleled top-tier combat power.

The third-year students' overall strength should not be underestimated, but they lack Thunderclap measures, being good at self-defense but lacking in offensive capabilities.

The fourth-year students ranked second in average Soul Power, but last in overall strength.

Fifth grade - Soul Guidance Department, its overall strength is undoubtedly number one.

Upon careful comparison, the Bai Cai Team and its affiliated members, all fifth-year Soul Guidance Department, are almost at the same level.

Ning Tian - Dai Huabin - Xie Huanyue, the third-year camp, and the fourth-year camp—these three camps are slightly inferior.

If one faction makes the first move, the other factions can simply watch from the sidelines and reap the benefits. If the situation remains unchanged, it could even lead to a stalemate for a while.

"Hehe."

Summoning Kirlia, Bai Cai looked around and said, "You all, come at me together."

The Second Soul Ring lit up instantly, and azure butterfly wings were drawn out in the air. Golden patterns and light converged, revealing the Myriad Manifestations of the Forest: the Light of the Butterfly Goddess!

The blazing beam of light bombarded fiercely, its target none other than Jiang Nannan!

"Nannan!"

Xu Sanshi reacted quickly, his fourth Soul Ring flashing instantly as he teleported to block the blazing beam of light.

Jiang Nannan came to her senses, and her third and First Soul Ring Soul Ring up almost simultaneously. She teleported forward and counterattacked Teleportation Waist Bow.

Bei Bei charged forward on foot, his third Soul Ring transforming into thousands of Thunderclap, and his fourth Soul Ring condensing into a blue-purple dragon head, its lightning breath striking the Bai Cai.

"Teleportation?"

The Psychic Shield solidified instantly, suppressing Jiang Nannan. Bai Cai raised her hand and used the girl as a shield to block the lightning.

Lightning struck, sending chills down her spine. Her fourth Soul Ring suddenly lit up, and Jiang Nannan shone with golden light.

"Asshole!"

Xu Sanshi was furious. His fourth Soul Ring lit up again. He teleported to withstand the lightning breath and crashed to the ground like a dead dog, his whole body charred black.

At the same time, Dai Huabin crashed into Zhu Lu, a flash of black and white light disappeared, and the Hell White Tiger Body Press fiercely, its target being the third and fourth graders.

The Xie Huanyue's body swelled, intercepting the agility-based Soul Master had been cut off.

The Bai Cai Team started the battle first, and it was a foregone conclusion that both sides would be severely injured. If they defeated the third-year students and drew with the fourth-year students, their team would definitely be able to advance.

"The Seven Treasures Have Names, the first of which is: Speed."

"The Seven Treasures Have Names, the third being: Strength."

The First Soul Ring and third Soul Ring rings shone brightly simultaneously, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda emitted four beams of light, respectively amplifying the Xie Huanyue and the Hell White Tiger.

With a single slap of its giant claw, the Hell White Tiger sent two or three Soul Elder flying.

Xie Huanyue guarded the front, his Second Soul Ring suddenly shone brightly, and his right hand instantly extended, striking towards a speed-type Soul Elder who couldn't dodge in time.

With its agility-based physique, a single hit would render even Soul Elder powerless.

As expected, the gray-robed elder appeared in an instant, grabbed the Soul Elder with one hand, and then disappeared together.

"A net stretching to the heavens and the earth!"

Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo embraced each other, their blue hair growing rapidly and weaving a net.

The overwhelming amount of glistening hair was also aimed at third and fourth graders.

The logic is very simple: if the Hell White Tiger's attack fails, in the worst-case scenario, it will have to deal with eleven Soul Elder; if the Hell White Tiger's attack succeeds, it will at most have to deal with three Soul Elders.

Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sicheng leaped out together, attacking the third and fourth graders.

Behind the battle line, the dark-skinned youth grinned, and metal components began to emerge from his body: a soul-guided gyroscope, a soul-guided scope...

A blazing beam of light erupted from afar, shattering the soul-guided shield instantly.

The dark-skinned youth looked up and saw the azure butterfly wings fully spread out, like a blue ocean and a deep blue sky.

Wang Dong swooped down in Pursuit, his third Soul Ring shining brightly. The light converged, the golden patterns burned intensely, and his Second Soul Ring, which had stood for a thousand years, lit up once more.

After the Dance of the Butterfly Goddess is amplified, the attack intensity of the Light of the Butterfly Goddess is comparable to that of Soul Ancestor!

The dark-skinned youth was terrified, his hair standing on end. He quickly activated his Soul Tool to evade.

The Soul Fighting Arena was in complete chaos, but on the edge of the battle line, Xiao Xiao spotted a sneaky figure.

The First Soul Ring continued to flash, and the Spirit Detection Lock-On the Bai Cai. Huo Yuhao tried to control the Soul Shock, holding back the attack.

"Soul Suppression!"

The three Soul-Suppressing Cauldron quickly merged, forming a giant Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, which suddenly crashed towards Huo Yuhao like a black meteor.

The same move could only intimidate Xiao Xiao for two or three breaths at most, but the combined power of the three cauldrons was enough to completely crush Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao abandoned his sneak attack and hurriedly used his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge in a sorry state.

Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon?

With his Soul Power, he could at most shift the giant Soul-Suppressing Cauldron by two inches, but the giant Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was at least ten feet wide and tall.

If it hits, even a deviation of two feet would require leaving the field, let alone two inches.

The outer courtyard's top-ranked defense clashed with the outer courtyard's top-ranked attack, and Xu Sanshi finally broke through their defenses.

Electric snakes raged, and his entire body was charred black. Xu Sanshi shuddered as he stood up, and his fourth Soul Ring quickly lit up.

The third Black Tortoise Displacement wasn't about starting a fight, but about running away.
