The middle-aged teacher in grey robes took a deep look at the one yellow and one purple soul ring circling Feng Tianyu.
No wonder!
To absorb a thousand-year soul ring as one's second soul ring—perhaps this was the source of his confidence in challenging a thousand-year soul beast.
He said nothing more, signaling the staff at the beast pen to select a thousand-year soul beast.
A moment later, the iron gate opened, and a behemoth nearly three meters in length emerged from the passage behind the fence.
It was a giant bear, covered in brown fur, its two paws like thick cushions. Its eyes were scarlet, radiating a fierce and baleful aura, and as its massive jaws opened and closed, droplets of foul-smelling saliva dripped onto the ground.
Bloodthirsty Demon Bear!
A formidable soul beast, considered an elite among thousand-year soul beasts. It possessed a sturdy physique, immense strength, and the innate skill Berserk. Even ordinary 2,000 or 3,000-year soul beasts were unwilling to provoke a Bloodthirsty Demon Bear after it had entered its Berserk state.
The students in the stands had not even faced the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear directly; merely sensing its fierce aura from afar was enough to turn many of their faces pale and fill their hearts with dread.
Among them, Beibei, Feng Tianyu's roommate, wore a look of concern. As a level 27 Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul master, even he was not confident in dealing with a thousand-year Bloodthirsty Demon Bear.
This made him break into a cold sweat for Feng Tianyu!
As for the person involved, Feng Tianyu felt no fear, only an eagerness to test his strength:
"Grey Wolf, let's go!"
"First soul skill..."
Cyan light erupted around Grey Wolf's body, and in an instant, a gale began to howl. It shouted:
"Big Grizzly, taste the power of my Wind Blade Array!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
About twelve sharp wind blades swept out from the gale, tearing through the air with a hissing sound as they surrounded the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear let out a roar, feeling a chill run down its spine; it sensed a lethal danger from those wind blades.
It lunged to the side in a desperate attempt to dodge.
However, Grey Wolf chuckled, displaying an unimaginable level of control over its soul skill, manipulating the twelve wind blades to curve in mid-air and pursue the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear.
"Roar, roar, roar, roar..."
All twelve wind blades struck the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear, tearing long, narrow gashes across its head, chest, waist, abdomen, and arms.
Grey Wolf even maliciously steered two of the blades toward the bear's crotch. Had the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear not reacted in time to cover its groin with its cushion-like paws, it would have transitioned from a male bear to a female bear on the spot.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's eyes were filled with shock and rage. Its thick fur had failed to block the wind blades, and the sheer sharpness of the attacks left it trembling with fear.
On the podium, Yan Shaozhe's eyes widened, staring at Grey Wolf without blinking, muttering to himself:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
He had personally tested the quality of Feng Tianyu's martial soul at the City Defense Office. At the time, Grey Wolf's quality was average, and its mastery over the wind attribute was mediocre.
A single burst of his Phoenix Flame would have been enough to disperse such a gale.
But what was he seeing now?
Grey Wolf's mastery of the wind attribute had reached a level infinitely close to Ultimate Wind. With a mere hundred-year wind blade skill, it was able to tear deep, bone-reaching wounds into the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear.
There was no mistake; judging by the intensity of those wind blades, it was already infinitely close to Ultimate Wind.
Yan Shaozhe could not fathom how a martial soul's quality could improve so drastically after absorbing only two soul rings.
A mutated martial soul, still continuing to mutate...
That was the only explanation Yan Shaozhe could think of.
Back in the arena, the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear was furious; it had nearly gone from a male to a female.
"Roar!"
The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear let out a roar. Covered in blood, it activated its Berserk skill. Surrounded by crimson currents, its already powerful body grew even larger, its bones popping and muscles bulging.
It charged at Grey Wolf with reckless abandon, eyes bloodshot and radiating a murderous aura, as if it wanted to tear Grey Wolf to shreds.
Grey Wolf bared its claws and teeth, shouting just as the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear was within reach:
"Wolf Soul Possession!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The gale howled, and from the cyan light, a three-meter-tall phantom of a wolf soul condensed!
The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear slammed into the wolf soul phantom like a mountain collapsing. Accompanied by the sound of cracking bones, the bear let out a whimper and was sent flying backward at an even greater speed.
This wolf soul phantom was comparable to an absolute defense; it was not something a thousand-year Bloodthirsty Demon Bear could break through.
The next instant, the wolf soul phantom possessed Grey Wolf's body. With immense power surging through its veins, Grey Wolf let out a howl toward the sky. Its attack power and speed increased by 100%, allowing it to dash forward like a gale.
Like a cyan streak of light, it overtook the rebounding Bloodthirsty Demon Bear in an instant. Grey Wolf shouted:
"This King is invincible!"
It swung a claw, and amidst the cyan light, it tore through the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's entire chest. Blood gushed out like a fountain, and through the massive gash, one could see a heart beating with rhythmic thumps.
BANG!
The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear crashed heavily onto the ground. It tried to struggle to its feet, but the massive blood loss left its entire body limp and powerless.
It let out a whimpering sound, a hollow display of ferocity intended to scare off Grey Wolf, but Grey Wolf was so immersed in its own power that it was now too excited to do anything but press the attack.
Seeing that the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear was about to be killed, the grey-robed middle-aged referee hurriedly stepped out to intervene:
"Stop! You have already won. The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear is academy property; you are not permitted to intentionally damage academy property!"
Following this, the man quickly called for others to carry the severely wounded Bloodthirsty Demon Bear away. If it were not treated in time, the beast would die from excessive blood loss.
The entire spectator stand was deathly silent at this moment!
It was too shocking!
Feng Tianyu's martial soul, Grey Wolf, had actually managed to severely injure a thousand-year soul beast so cleanly and decisively—and it was a Bloodthirsty Demon Bear, which possessed strength far exceeding that of an average thousand-year soul beast.
Beibei took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, feeling deeply shaken in his heart:
"Although Tianyu's soul power is still lower than mine, his strength has already surpassed me. I couldn't even defeat a thousand-year Bloodthirsty Demon Bear!"
Wang Yan's face was full of shock, his eyes gleaming with intensity.
He had originally thought that Feng Tianyu went to the Soul Guidance Department because he felt he had no future in the Martial Soul Department and wanted to rely on Soul Tool to enhance his strength.
The result was completely different from what he had imagined; the combat capability of that Grey Wolf was a cliff-like lead even within the Martial Soul Department.
A two-ring Soul Grand Master defeating a thousand-year soul beast so cleanly and decisively—going to the Soul Guidance Department was simply a waste of time.
Wang Yan felt heartbroken.
On the main stage, a deep sense of regret rose in Du Weilun's heart. If not for that incident back then, if Zhou Yi hadn't provoked Feng Tianyu, how wonderful it would be if Feng Tianyu were still a student of their Martial Soul Department!
Such talent could only receive the best cultivation in their Martial Soul Department!
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe's expression was gloomy; this was a slap to his face. The more outstanding Feng Tianyu was, the more it proved that he was blind. His voice was icy cold:
"Feng Tianyu challenged a thousand-year soul beast, base score 100 points. By defeating the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear head-on, he receives the full 100 points."
"The martial soul performed excellently in battle, reward 50 points. However, his personal combat awareness is concerning. After the battle began, he actually didn't know to stay further away. If the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear hadn't attacked the martial soul but instead attacked the user, the user would have been placed in danger. Therefore, deduct 50 points."
"Feng Tianyu's final score: 100 points."
