Xue Qinghe flushed red, struggling to resist.
She pushed hard with both hands against Gu Sheng's solid chest.
"Stop messing around, we're outside."
"Mind your image, I am the Crown Prince right now!"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng finally stopped, though he seemed unsatisfied.
He stepped back half a pace, looking at the beautiful woman with the slightly reddened cheeks before him.
Gu Sheng's expression turned serious as he stated his intentions directly.
"I want to join the Martial Soul Hall team to participate in this year's Spirit Master Tournament."
Upon hearing this request, Qian Renxue frowned slightly.
She smoothed out her slightly disheveled collar, appearing somewhat hesitant.
Deep down, there remained a lingering, unshakable worry.
"The tournament is no child's play."
"The Golden Generation of Martial Soul Hall are not people to be trifled with."
"Your spirit power is only at level twenty; even if your combat prowess is astonishing, I fear they won't accept you."
Gu Sheng cut off her worries immediately.
He crossed his arms over his chest, his face filled with a confident glow.
"Don't worry."
"With my strength, the position of team captain is well within my reach."
"If anyone isn't convinced, I'll just beat them until they are."
Qian Renxue looked into his resolute eyes.
Recalling the terrifying strength Gu Sheng had displayed today, along with those two ten-thousand-year spirit rings, she knew this man before her possessed absolute confidence.
Qian Renxue nodded gently, making her promise.
"Fine, very well."
"I will submit the application as soon as possible."
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled over the heavy gates of Blue Tyrant Academy.
Two bedraggled figures, supporting each other, were limping toward the entrance.
The person on the left was bloated and covered in blood.
He was missing nearly half of his front teeth; this was Ma Hongjun, who had just been severely beaten on the streets of Heaven Dou City.
Supporting him from the side was Yu Xiaogang, who looked just as disheveled and dusty.
The miserable state of the master and disciple immediately caught the attention of Tang San, who happened to be preparing to head out.
As Tang San recognized them, his expression shifted instantly, and he hurried forward to meet them.
He grabbed the swaying Yu Xiaogang, his eyes filled with shock and suspicion.
"Teacher, Fatty, how did you end up in such a state?"
Tang San's voice was filled with deep concern, while a flame of anger quietly ignited in his heart.
In this Heaven Dou City, there was actually someone daring enough to beat people from Shrek Academy like this.
They had already invited their own death!
The moment Ma Hongjun saw Tang San, it was as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
His lisping mouth immediately began to wail in frantic accusation.
"Third Brother! You have to stand up for me!"
"Master and I were just minding our own business setting up a stall on the street when some unreasonable, arrogant brat suddenly appeared."
"Relying on some crooked, evil spirit skills, he started hitting people without saying a word!"
As Ma Hongjun spoke, he squeezed out a few tears, looking utterly aggrieved.
"Not only did he ambush me, he pointed right at our noses and called everyone at Shrek Academy a bunch of trash."
"Even Master was publicly humiliated by him!"
The more the fatty spoke, the more animated he became, shifting all the blame onto Gu Sheng.
Listening to Ma Hongjun's embellished account, Tang San's brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
He turned his head to look at Yu Xiaogang, hoping to get a more accurate account of the events.
Yu Xiaogang sighed, the expression on his face incredibly complex.
"Hongjun might have been exaggerating, but that boy is truly extraordinary."
Recalling the scene from moments ago, Yu Xiaogang unconsciously clenched his fists.
"He clearly only has the soul power fluctuations of a level 20, yet there are many strange things about him."
"Especially his soul rings... they are actually two black ten-thousand-year soul rings!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Tang San was completely stunned.
He stared at Yu Xiaogang, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
A level 20 Soul Grand Master absorbing two ten-thousand-year soul rings?
This was simply a fantasy, completely violating the basic common sense of the soul master world.
Even he, who possessed Twin Martial Souls, would never dare to attempt absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul beast for his second ring.
"Teacher, how is this possible?"
Tang San couldn't help but ask, wondering in his heart if his teacher had misread the situation.
Yu Xiaogang shook his head with a bitter smile.
"I saw it with my own eyes; there is no falsehood."
"That boy's martial soul is special; it can even manifest six wings of light."
"Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix didn't even have a shred of room to resist in front of him."
Tang San fell silent, his brain racing at high speed.
Although this matter sounded absurd, looking at the miserable state of the two, he had no choice but to believe it.
He looked at Ma Hongjun's expectant gaze.
Tang San took a deep breath and patted the fatty on the shoulder.
"Fatty, go back and tend to your injuries first."
"Regardless of his background, anyone who dares to hurt our Shrek people, I will definitely get justice for you."
With Tang San's promise, Ma Hongjun let out a long sigh of relief.
He snorted viciously, already beginning to plot how he would watch Gu Sheng make a fool of himself.
Meanwhile.
Martial Soul Hall Academy team, exclusive training ground.
Inside the spacious and bright venue, several young people were sweating profusely.
The soul power fluctuations on the field rose and fell, highlighting the extraordinary talent of this group.
Everyone was immersed in their own cultivation.
Suddenly, the training ground door was slowly pushed open.
The team's lead teacher walked in, leading a tall youth dressed in black.
The youth's expression was very calm as his gaze swept over everyone in the room.
The lead teacher cleared his throat, signaling everyone to stop what they were doing.
"Come over and gather; I'm introducing a newcomer to you all."
Yan, Hu Liena, and the others who were sparring stopped one after another, gathering around with curiosity.
The lead teacher pointed to Gu Sheng beside him, his tone very solemn.
"This is Gu Sheng."
"From today on, he is the official captain of our Martial Soul Hall team."
This sentence was like dropping a bomb on flat ground.
Everyone was stunned on the spot, their gazes falling squarely on Gu Sheng.
Everyone sensed him for a moment, and the room immediately erupted.
The soul power fluctuations radiating from this guy named Gu Sheng were clearly only level 20!
A level 20 Soul Grand Master coming to be the captain of a group of Soul Kings?
This was simply the biggest joke in the world.
Yan, who had the most explosive temper, was the first to step out.
He made no effort to hide the hostility in his eyes as he looked Gu Sheng up and down.
"Teacher, are you joking with us?"
Yan pointed at Gu Sheng, his tone very aggressive.
"With just his level 20 soul power, what qualifications does he have to command us?"
"Any one of us pulled from this group could crush him with a single finger!"
Although the other team members were not as blunt as Yan, they all nodded in agreement.
Clearly, no one was willing to accept a captain with such meager strength.
The instructor leading the team sighed helplessly, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
He naturally knew that this decision would be hard to justify to the others, but he had no other choice.
