At this moment, Xu Mochen radiated a chilling, chaotic power from head to toe! The terrifying pressure from his Purple Sun Dragon Claw made Qin Ze's face turn pale, but fortunately, Qin Ze reacted in time. He retreated violently and decisively activated his third soul ring! A layer of frost armor instantly covered Qin Ze's body!
This was precisely Qin Ze's third soul skill, Snow Wolf Ice Armor! Its effect was to double his defensive power while simultaneously mitigating a large amount of elemental attack damage! Although Qin Ze could not determine what element the aura on Xu Mochen possessed, he could clearly sense that if this energy were driven into his body, he would undoubtedly be severely wounded!
At this point, he should have stacked his second soul skill to allow for rapid evasion, but when his fourth soul skill dissipated just moments ago, the soul power he had painstakingly condensed had vanished along with it! The third soul skill he was currently using was barely maintained through sheer emergency effort! He had no remaining soul power to mobilize! It could only be said that the sudden dissipation of his fourth soul skill had dealt him a devastating blow!
When Xu Mochen's Purple Sun Dragon Claw collided with the Snow Wolf Ice Armor, its armor-piercing property manifested immediately. Accompanied by a crisp "ping" sound, followed by a series of "cracking" noises, Qin Ze's hard-won Snow Wolf Ice Armor shattered instantly! Xu Mochen's dragon claw strike continued unabated, raking across Qin Ze's body! Simultaneously, the effect of the Purple Yin Dragon Claw attached itself to the wound!
Following a miserable shriek from Qin Ze, a "rip" sound echoed as the clothes on his chest were instantly shredded, leaving three deep dragon claw marks. His chest was immediately drenched in blood, and the terrifying Chaos Dragon Qi seized the opportunity to surge into Qin Ze's body! In the next instant, Qin Ze was sent flying backward!
Just as Xu Mochen intended to press his advantage, he suddenly heard Kutka shouting from the sidelines: "Stop the fight! The winner is decided! Xu Mochen is the victor!"
Kutka immediately flashed to Qin Ze's side and began to carefully examine his injuries. Xu Mochen, knowing he couldn't truly do anything to Qin Ze at the Spirit Hall Academy and that his victory was enough to establish his authority, ceased his attack!
Qin Ze was currently in agony due to the Chaos Dragon Qi that had been driven into his body, and his excessive shame and anger only exacerbated the chaotic erosion within him! He promptly passed out from the sheer frustration! Meanwhile, the surrounding students had been watching with their jaws nearly hitting the ground.
If these onlookers had to use two words to describe this battle, it certainly wouldn't be "exhilarating" or "stunning." It would be "bizarre." Extremely bizarre! One could even say that Qin Ze's defeat was completely inexplicable!
First, Qin Ze's first and second soul skills failed to cause any damage to Xu Mochen, instead causing Xu Mochen's aura to surge. Then, Qin Ze's perfectly executed fourth soul skill was inexplicably wiped out by a beam of light Xu Mochen had casually fired! Finally, Qin Ze's thousand-year third soul skill was strangely broken by Xu Mochen's hundred-year first soul skill!
Regardless of the fact that Qin Ze's third soul skill was rushed and lacked power, it was still a genuine thousand-year soul skill! How could a mere hundred-year soul skill from Xu Mochen break through it? It was simply too unreasonable!
At this moment, Kutka had finished checking Qin Ze's injuries. Although they appeared minor on the surface, the strange Chaos Dragon Qi that Xu Mochen had injected was constantly wreaking havoc, gnawing at Qin Ze's martial soul and soul power, causing continuous damage. Even the soul power Kutka infused could hardly purge it quickly, leaving it to dissipate bit by bit on its own! Kutka immediately shouted: "Chu Hanxiang, step forward! Use your healing soul skill to examine and treat student Qin Ze!"
"Yes, Teacher!" A girl with orange hair tied into two large, wavy braids, possessing a delicate, melon-shaped face, immediately arrived at Qin Ze and Kutka's side. She released her martial soul, and a golden-green halo instantly appeared above her palms, with two yellow and one purple soul ring emerging around her.
As her third soul ring lit up, the strange golden-green halo filled with intense purifying power. Under her control, the halo flew out and enveloped Qin Ze, beginning to rapidly dispel the chaotic power within his body!
"Eh? This is? How is this possible?" Chu Hanxiang's cherry lips pursed slightly, a look of shock appearing on her face. She discovered that the third soul skill, Natural Purification, of her martial soul, the Natural Longevity Ring, was having no effect at all!
Once the Chaos Dragon Qi was enveloped by her purifying power, it did not diminish. Not only did it continue to gnaw at Qin Ze's soul power, but it even seemed to be devouring the soul power contained within her own healing skill! Even for a gifted prodigy like her, she had never encountered such a bizarre occurrence.
She retracted the Natural Longevity Ring, stood up, and walked quickly toward the nonchalant Xu Mochen. Staring straight into his handsome face, she asked in a soft voice: "Um, excuse me, may I ask you a few questions?"
The students nearby erupted into an uproar once again, and many boys felt their hearts shatter:
"No way! Don't tell me even the second of our Elite Class's three thorny roses has taken a liking to Xu Mochen?"
"Ah! My goddess! My dream lover! You can't just abandon me like this!"
"Damn that Xu Mochen! If you've got guts, come out and duel! I'll fight you to the death!"
"How does this Xu Mochen have so much charm? He hasn't even been here for a day, and he's already taken down two of our class's thorny roses! At this rate, won't the last rose also..."
"You, Ji! If you have the guts, keep talking!"
"Ah, no! I'm sorry! Sister Wan'er! Don't hit me! I was just joking!"
To put it bluntly, Chu Hanxiang was absolutely the most popular girl in the entire Elite Class. The reason was that among the three most beautiful roses in the class, Hu Liena was considered the exclusive property of Yan, and most male students didn't even dare to approach her for fear of being targeted and punished by Yan and his lackeys!
The other, She Wan'er, was a total violent girl. Not only was her temper fiery, but her strength and combat skills were extremely high. Many boys who had confessed their love to her had been beaten until their faces were bruised and swollen! Over time, most boys had learned to keep their distance.
Chu Hanxiang was different. Her mother was the strongest healing-type Soul Douluo in the Martial Soul Hall. Her status was no lower than that of the Elders of the Martial Soul Hall; she was even slightly above them, comparable to the titled Douluo patrons. After all, the Elders of the Martial Soul Hall were human, and they inevitably suffered serious injuries during missions. Chu Hanxiang's mother, Yu Shiya, had treated these Elders and patrons countless times, even saving the lives of several of them.
Therefore, for this existence who was essentially the life insurance for the spirit masters of the Martial Soul Hall, several Elders and patrons had publicly stated that whoever bullied Yu Shiya would be their enemy!
Furthermore, this Yu Shiya happened to be one of Bibi Dong's two best friends. Back in the day, they were both geniuses of the younger generation in the Martial Soul Hall, having shared hardships together. She was a staunch supporter of Bibi Dong, and Bibi Dong's ability to secure her position as Pope was inseparable from the full support Yu Shiya provided using her connections.
Yu Shiya was powerful, and her daughter, Chu Hanxiang, possessed excellent talent. At only twelve years old, she had already become a level 36 Tool Soul Elder! As an auxiliary-type spirit master, she had been admitted to the Elite Class this year through an exception! The reason was that not long ago, she and Hu Liena had passed a special assessment for auxiliary-type spirit masters, relying on the combined strength of two Soul Elders to defeat two Soul Ancestors, which earned them the opportunity for an exceptional promotion!
Moreover, Chu Hanxiang was not only beautiful and soft-spoken, sometimes even a bit mischievous, but she was also kind-hearted and tolerant toward other students. Even if others offended her, she wouldn't hold a grudge. The pure, gentle beauty she occasionally displayed could ignite an infinite desire for protection in men! Over time, Chu Hanxiang naturally became the dream lover in the hearts of countless male students!
Xu Mochen turned to look at Chu Hanxiang, who stood before him with a gentle and curious expression. Although he was amazed by her pure beauty, he replied apologetically: "Miss Chu, you want to ask about the origin and composition of the chaotic energy I injected into Qin Ze, right? And why even the power of purification is difficult to eliminate? Regarding this, I can only say I am sorry; it is my personal secret and is inconvenient to disclose."
"However, the only thing I can tell you is that once this chaotic energy of mine enters the body, it will continuously disrupt the spirit master's martial soul, devour their soul power, and cause damage. Once invaded, unless one possesses an aura of the same level that can contend with the Chaos Dragon Qi, the only way to remove it is to wait for the chaotic energy within the body to slowly dissipate. I didn't inject much into Qin Ze; it should dissipate on its own in about three or four days. He will just have to suffer a bit during these days."
Chu Hanxiang's beautiful eyes blinked as she gazed with complex emotions at the handsome and mysterious little brother before her. She pursed her thin lips, sighed, and bowed slightly to Xu Mochen: "Thank you for telling me, student Xu Mochen. It was this sister who was too excited and accidentally offended you. Please forgive me." After Xu Mochen waved his hand and said it was nothing, Chu Hanxiang looked back at the unconscious Qin Ze on the ground, sighed helplessly once more, expressed her apologies to Teacher Kutka, and retreated back into the ranks.
She did not ask Xu Mochen to remove the Chaos Dragon Qi for Qin Ze. After all, she knew about yesterday's incident; Qin Ze had been the one to provoke him unreasonably first. Xu Mochen naturally wouldn't give up such a good opportunity for revenge. Saying anything more would be useless. Besides, she didn't like how Qin Ze had always acted like a bully, and perhaps this setback would be a profound lesson for him.
After Kutka felt that Qin Ze was not in any serious danger, he breathed a sigh of relief. He placed Qin Ze aside, stood up, walked to Xu Mochen, and took out a Black Angel Badge from his storage soul tool. With a complex expression, he said: "Congratulations, Xu Mochen. You have become a member of our Elite Class through an exception. This is the badge that symbolizes your identity. I hope you can integrate into the Elite Class family as soon as possible."
He recalled the instructions the Pope had given him when he was summoned yesterday. Although even he didn't believe Xu Mochen had the ability to defeat a Soul Ancestor of the Elite Class, the facts were right before his eyes. He had thought he would need to step in to protect Xu Mochen today, but he discovered this kid was simply a monster!
Xu Mochen naturally agreed. He took the badge with a solemn expression and pinned it to his chest. Then, under Kutka's arrangement, he joined the ranks of the Elite Class spirit masters. At this moment, no other spirit master dared to underestimate this twelve-year-old little brother anymore! Instead, several spirit masters nearby took the initiative to greet Xu Mochen and introduce themselves. It was at this very moment that Xu Mochen truly conquered the students and teachers of the Elite Class with his strength, proving that he was qualified to remain in the Elite Class.
