Unleashing the Ultimate Right at the Start

"Bzzz—"

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up with blue-violet light.

As his Soul Rings pulsed, invisible spiritual power instantly spread out, swiftly completing a spiritual link.

At that very moment, "Zhu Lu!"

Dai Huabin shouted, and an intense pale-white glow abruptly erupted from his body. The instant he activated Martial Soul Possession, his bones crackled throughout his body.

At the same time, Zhu Lu transformed into a cat girl whose figure seemed hazy and illusory. As black light covered her, her entire body appeared almost transparent. Then, she decisively spread her arms and lunged toward Dai Huabin.

Accompanied by a resounding tiger's roar,

Dai Huabin's pupils merged into one, his body swelled, and white fur mixed with black tiger stripes burst wildly from within him. Yet his gaze was filled only with cold ruthlessness. Zhu Lu, meanwhile, lost her initial chill, her eyes becoming as gentle as water.

The auras of the White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat completely merged at that instant. The moment the former devoured the spirit cat—

"Bzzz—" Intense Soul Power fluctuations erupted from their fused bodies like a geyser!

The black-and-white halos thoroughly melded into one!

There was no probing each other.

Only an all-out assault.

However, this opening move of immediately unleashing their ultimate truly startled the teachers on the platform.

"Was that really necessary?"

One teacher spoke up, igniting a discussion.

For a moment, the observing teachers began debating Dai Huabin's team's purpose in directly using a Martial Soul Fusion Skill at the very start, as well as the significance of doing so.

"Utterly foolish."

In the stands, the corner of Zhou Yi's mouth twitched beneath her aged mask. Already displeased that Dai Huabin's team had eliminated Wang Dong'er's team, leaving only Class Five and Class Nine to contend in the semifinals and subsequent finals, she naturally had nothing nice to say.

"Hehe, are you jealous?"

A female teacher around thirty walked up beside Zhou Yi, folding her arms as she mocked her in a low voice.

Seeing who it was, Zhou Yi's gaze hardened.

"Mu Jin, I have nothing to say to you." Clearly, she did not want to continue this topic.

This old rival of hers was simply reveling in petty triumph!

But just because Zhou Yi did not want to talk did not mean Mu Jin felt the same. Having finally caught this opportunity, how could she let it go?

"You still won't admit you're jealous." Mu Jin's smile widened. "If you weren't, why would you call them utterly foolish instead of farsighted?"

Zhou Yi's eyes turned cold. "Everyone knows that Martial Soul Fusion Skills consume an enormous amount of Soul Power. If their opponents find a way to stall through that period, they will undoubtedly lose. As a trump card, it should only be revealed at the very end!"

Then she sneered.

"Or do you not even understand something that simple!?"

"Heh, the one I can't understand is you."

The smile on Mu Jin's face instantly vanished. "No wonder no one from your Class One made it to the semifinals. It seems you're not much of a teacher either... Don't you know that some methods depend on the timing!"

Ever since she had deliberately placed Di Qiu'er and Ning Tian in the same group, Mu Jin had begun ambitiously imagining herself taking the championship of this year's New Student Assessment.

She had thought it would be a sure thing. Yet, to her surprise, she learned from Di Qiu'er that even Di Qiu'er was not confident of victory. And the reason lay with Liu Yuan.

Therefore, when Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill right away, Mu Jin immediately understood that Dai Huabin clearly had no confidence in fighting Liu Yuan alone. He could only rely on the power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Liu Yuan's strength was absolutely no simple matter!

While the teachers were discussing this, Yan Shaozhe's group naturally was not idle either.

At first, they had indeed been surprised by Dai Huabin's decision. But after learning from Du Weilun that three months ago, Liu Yuan beating Dai Huabin had been like a father beating his son, none of them found it strange anymore.

"That boy from the Dai Family isn't bad."

Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly.

Knowing he was outmatched and immediately bringing out his strongest method—at least his judgment had not gone wrong.

"Looks like this match will be interesting."

"Interesting?"

Having just finished a chicken leg, Xuan Zi muttered. However, his eyes were fixed on the phantom of the Source Willow Martial Soul behind Liu Yuan, flickering with contemplative light.

"I wouldn't say so."

"Oh?"

Just as Yan Shaozhe became curious, Xuan Zi had no patience to continue. He merely waved him aside, telling him not to disturb his viewing of the match.

Helplessly,

Yan Shaozhe could only let the matter drop for now.

At this moment, below the stands.

An enormous White Tiger eight meters long, entirely translucent, with white fur, black stripes, and purple double pupils, had replaced Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu. Its sharp claws dug deeply into the ground beneath it, while its bloodthirsty tiger eyes stared fixedly at Liu Yuan.

"Roar—"

Accompanied by an earth-shaking tiger's roar,

Violent energy poured from the Hell White Tiger's body. Its immense strength and vast energy caused the ground beneath its feet to crack inch by inch.

"Liu Yuan!"

The Hell White Tiger spoke in Dai Huabin's voice. "Let me show you the power of the Hell White Tiger!"

The instant he finished speaking,

The Hell White Tiger shot forward like a bolt of white lightning, pouncing at Liu Yuan with terrifying speed.

Just as it leaped high into the air and its tiger paw was about to strike down, a sinister glint quietly flashed through its eyes.

"Do it!"

The next second, Cui Yajie swiftly emerged.

It turned out that the moment the Martial Soul Fusion Skill took shape, Cui Yajie had hidden behind the Hell White Tiger at top speed. Shielded by the blind spot in Liu Yuan's group's vision, she had rushed up to the three of them, ready to launch an attack.

The alluring girl swayed her fox tail and moved forward in graceful steps.

The moment their eyes met, one of her yellow Soul Rings lit up. Her already seductive eyes turned pink as she stared directly at Liu Yuan.

First Soul Skill—Charm!

But before Liu Yuan could react,

White light flashed through Huo Yuhao's eyes first.

Under Spiritual Detection Sharing, none of their movements could remain hidden. Thus, as the Hell White Tiger charged in, Soul Shock had already been poised to strike!

With a muffled groan, blood flowed from Cui Yajie's nose and mouth at the same time. The spiritual backlash nearly made her faint.

But before her mind could recover, a young girl's shout rang in her ears. "The nation's great weapon, the tremor of the cauldron!"

"Boom—"

Amid the massive roar, Cui Yajie had only just managed to open her eyes. Yet what entered her sight was a gigantic cauldron covered in countless strange runes, carrying an indescribable majesty as it smashed toward her.

Then, "Bang—"

With her eyes rolled back, a figure was blasted away. She then collapsed onto the ground and completely passed out.

Young people really did have such great sleep quality.

They fell asleep the moment they hit the ground.

Hell White Tiger: "..."

Its four tiger claws dug fiercely into the ground.

It had never imagined that those two—one a one-ringed piece of trash and the other a two-ringed little girl—could eliminate Cui Yajie in less than a breath through tacit understanding and seamless coordination!

Was Cui Yajie too weak?

Or were those two too strong?

There was only one answer...

"Trash!"

Beneath the tiger's roar, Dai Huabin cursed furiously.

A useless piece of trash who ruined everything!
