Confidence or Arrogance?

Seeing so many people stand up, Shen Yi furrowed her brow and whispered, "Isn't this going too far?"

Wu Changkong also said to The Twins, "Maybe we should just forget it?"

Yun Qianzhao turned to Wu Changkong and smiled faintly. "Teacher Wu doesn't believe in me either, does he? It's all right. When we decided to take on the role of homeroom teachers, we'd already anticipated this sort of thing!"

Wu Changkong looked sheepish. He exchanged a glance with Shen Yi, and the two of them sighed without saying anything more.

In terms of status, even though they were students of Red Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi, they still didn't measure up to The Twins at Shrek Academy. In terms of position, the other two were the homeroom teachers, while they were merely ordinary teachers. They really weren't in a position to say anything.

Hopefully, nothing would happen.

Everyone from Freshman Class One had gathered in the Grand Martial Arts Arena. Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue stood on the arena, looking down at them all.

Watching this, Shen Yi whispered, "I'm still not at ease, senior brother. Could you keep an eye on things here? I'll go notify Her Holiness Holy Spirit."

But Yun Qianyue, up on the platform, looked at her. "Don't go!"

Shen Yi froze and blinked in confusion. She'd spoken so quietly—how could Yun Qianyue still hear her?

Yun Qianzhao turned toward Shen Yi and Wu Changkong and said calmly, "There's no need to trouble our teacher's wife with a trip over something this minor! We'll hold back. No student will come to harm."

As soon as he finished, Wu Siduo objected. "You two young teachers, it's still anyone's guess who'll win!"

The Twins glanced at Wu Siduo, smiling.

Yun Qianzhao announced the rules. "You'll fight in pairs. You lose if you're incapacitated or leave the arena!"

Yun Qianyue stepped down from the arena and stopped beside Wu Changkong and Shen Yi. They watched her, puzzled. "Qian Yue, aren't you going up?"

"No. My brother's enough."

Yun Qianyue shook her head with a bright smile. She watched Yun Qianzhao on the arena; both their strikingly similar faces wore confident smiles.

But The Twins' approach greatly surprised the freshmen.

"One against two? Teacher, you really look down on us! We may be young, but we're all geniuses who made it into Shrek Academy! Even one-on-one, the outcome would be hard to predict, let alone two-on-one!"

"Teacher, too much confidence turns into arrogance!"

"Whether it's confidence or arrogance, you'll find out soon enough." Yun Qianzhao offered no further explanation. He raised his hand and gripped the Sun God Spear.

"Who's first?"

"Me!"

"And me!"

After Yun Qianzhao asked, Wu Siduo and another male student stepped forward. The other student cupped his hands. "Teacher, my name is—"

"I know who you are: Wu Siduo and Xu Yucheng. You're both Four-Ring Soul Ancestors." Yun Qianzhao cut them off before they could finish introducing themselves. Before the school year began, he'd already gone through the files of every student in Freshman Class One.

He'd paid particular attention to the students on the Youth Genius Ranking.

Seeing Yun Qianzhao state their information outright, Xu Yucheng and Wu Siduo were surprised, but quickly composed themselves and walked onto the arena.

Judging by cultivation alone, Wu Siduo and Xu Yucheng, the first pair to take the stage, were unquestionably the strongest in Freshman Class One. They were both Four-Ring Soul Ancestors, and both appeared on the Youth Genius Ranking.

They released their Martial Souls, and four Soul Rings rose from beneath each of them.

Xu Yucheng had four Hundred-Year Soul Rings, while Wu Siduo's were all Thousand-Year Soul Rings! Her Soul Ring configuration immediately drew gasps from many of the freshmen.

Yun Qianzhao remained calm. A dazzling Golden Sun rose behind him, with four purple Thousand-Year Soul Rings set in a circle around its outer edge.

Seeing that noble purple hue, everyone was astonished.

Shen Yi couldn't help exclaiming, "Even Heavenly Pillar Crown doesn't have talent like this, does he? A twelve-year-old Four-Ring Soul Ancestor—he could probably reach Titled Douluo by the time he's twenty!"

"I remember Heavenly Pillar Crown broke through to Titled Douluo at twenty-three," Wu Changkong said thoughtfully.

The Golden Sun's radiance illuminated the entire Grand Martial Arts Arena. Xu Xiaoyan stared up at it from below, stars shining in her eyes. "Uncle Yun is so cool! He was only a three-ring Soul Elder when we fought him. It hasn't even been that long, and he's already broken through to four rings!"

"They'd already reached level thirty-nine in Soul Power back then. It's no surprise they broke through to four rings so quickly."

Tang Wulin shook his head as he spoke to Xu Xiaoyan. He himself had broken through to three rings just a few days ago.

"Xu Yucheng, cover me!"

After saying that to Xu Yucheng, Wu Siduo was enveloped in a dark sheen like a Hellish Phantom. She immediately lunged toward Yun Qianzhao.

Xu Yucheng was stunned. He was supposed to cover her?

His Martial Soul belonged to the Power Attack System. Which one of them was supposed to cover the other?

But Wu Siduo was already charging forward. Xu Yucheng had no chance to complain, so he could only grip the Death Scythe and rush at Yun Qianzhao, trying to draw his attention!

Unfortunately, both Wu Siduo's and Xu Yucheng's Martial Souls were naturally countered by Yun Qianzhao!

The power of the sun countered all Netherworld death energy!

Divine light flashed in Yun Qianzhao's golden eyes. The floor of the Grand Martial Arts Arena cracked rapidly, fissures filled with molten lava spreading across the entire surface! Heavenly Light Fire Prison severely hindered Wu Siduo and Xu Yucheng's movements.

Then an endless rain of fire came crashing down on them!

Yun Qianzhao moved, taking a single step forward.

Haoyang followed him. The Soul Spirit Heavenly Sun Bird flew out of the golden light and soared through the sky. Having evolved into a Thousand-Year Soul Spirit, it had gained a measure of intelligence and could independently unleash its first Soul Skill, Fire Rain Filling the Sky.

Yun Qianzhao thrust his spear at Xu Yucheng. He hurriedly swung the Death Scythe to block it, but how could his Martial Soul possibly compare to a Heavenly Forged weapon like the Sun God Spear?

At their very first clash, Xu Yucheng felt a shuddering terror rise from his Martial Soul!

What terrifying power of pure yang!

Xu Yucheng's face went pale in an instant. Wu Siduo seized the opportunity to reach Yun Qianzhao's back.

She unleashed Hell Stab and Hell Hundred Claws at the same time, targeting Yun Qianzhao's back with a sudden attack!

But Yun Qianzhao had already learned of Wu Siduo's movements through Yun Qianyue's eyes from below the arena. The instant Wu Siduo launched her attack, he used the downward force of the Sun God Spear to lift his body, vaulting over Xu Yucheng's head.

Wu Siduo's attack was about to hit Xu Yucheng. She hurriedly twisted to one side, narrowly avoiding striking her ally.

Seeing Yun Qianzhao land ahead of her, Wu Siduo was astonished. How had he known she was behind him? It was impossible! Even Yun Qianzhao, a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor like her, shouldn't have been able to keep up with her speed!

For the Hell Spirit Cat, speed was its greatest point of pride!

The moment Yun Qianzhao landed, he didn't pause at all. Gripping the Sun God Spear with one hand, he spun around and swept it sideways!
