"Not good!"
Xu Yucheng was horrified. He hurriedly swung the Death Scythe to block the attack.
But the Sun God Spear had already ignited with dazzling golden flames. The instant it collided with the Death Scythe, a force of pure, blazing yang surged into it. Golden flames spread across the purple-black scythe as well!
Xu Yucheng's whole body began to tremble. He could barely keep hold of the Death Scythe, and the moment the golden flames scorched it, it crumbled in his hands.
His Martial Soul had been forced back into his body by the overwhelming attribute suppression. His face went pale, and he staggered to one side.
Wu Changkong and Shen Yi immediately started toward the Grand Martial Arts Arena, but Yun Qianyue stopped them.
"Don't rush. The fight isn't over yet! If Teacher Wu goes over there now, won't it be just like the last time, during the assessment?" Yun Qianyue looked at Wu Changkong and Shen Yi, her expression calm. But no matter how Wu Changkong heard it, her words carried a hint of teasing.
"But Xu Yucheng's Martial Soul—"
Shen Yi furrowed her brow. Yun Qianyue continued, "It was only forced back because of the attribute disadvantage. It's nothing serious."
After Xu Yucheng lost the ability to fight, Yun Qianzhao didn't pursue him. The Sun God Spear swept around and went straight for Wu Siduo!
Without Xu Yucheng to cover for her, Wu Siduo, a speed-focused Soul Master, couldn't face Yun Qianzhao's powerful, surging attack head-on. She hadn't expected Xu Yucheng to lose so quickly, either!
They were both Four-Ring Soul Ancestors. How could Yun Qianzhao be so powerful?
No... that wasn't it. This was complete suppression through attribute advantage!
Was this the Ultimate Light Attribute?
As Wu Siduo dodged Yun Qianzhao's attacks, she tried to figure out how to turn the tables. After Yun Qianzhao changed targets, she gradually felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the radiant golden sun behind him.
No!
If this continued, she would lose the match without a doubt!
She had to find a way to overcome the Martial Soul attribute disadvantage!
Wu Siduo knitted her brows. Suddenly, she raised both hands and brought them together above her head. The claw blades on her ten fingers quickly fused into a blade about a foot long. She poured Soul Power into it, and the black blade instantly grew sharper before chopping down at Yun Qianzhao.
Her Nether Slash struck, but it didn't do Yun Qianzhao any harm. The power of the sun swirling around him incinerated it outright.
But Wu Siduo used that brief moment to escape Yun Qianzhao's attack range. Once she'd opened up some distance, the Soul Rings in front of her suddenly shuddered, changing from four to one!
That was a sign she was switching Martial Souls!
"Is she... a Twin Martial Soul user?"
Seeing the number of Wu Siduo's Soul Rings change, everyone was astonished.
Was this what a once-in-a-century genius looked like?
She actually had Twin Martial Souls!
Even at Shrek Academy, a Soul Master with Twin Martial Souls was a genius among geniuses! Throughout Shrek Academy's history, every generation's Twin Martial Soul users had led their era!
After she switched Martial Souls, a dazzling golden light enveloped Wu Siduo. This was the first Soul Skill of her Second Martial Soul, the Evil Eye White Tiger: White Tiger Protection Barrier!
Under this barrier, the attribute suppression from Yun Qianzhao's solar power seemed to weaken somewhat, but it was still there!
Still, that was enough to let Wu Siduo catch her breath.
Watching Wu Siduo charge toward him, her whole body cloaked in white-gold light, Yun Qianzhao remained calm. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and his golden pupils blazed!
The white-gold barrier around Wu Siduo grew even brighter, and a restless aura surged out!
Sensing that wild, agitated energy, Wu Siduo was horrified. She hurriedly switched back to her Nether Civet Martial Soul and used Nether Clone to escape with the help of her clones! In that instant, a brilliant golden explosion erupted, and a massive blaze of light shot a full hundred meters into the sky!
The hundred or so students of Freshman Class One watched, stunned.
At the edge of the Grand Martial Arts Arena, Wu Siduo had escaped disaster thanks to her Nether Clones. She stared wide-eyed at the center of the explosion, shaken. If she hadn't gotten away in time, would she still be standing here in one piece after that terrifying blast?
She absolutely couldn't have endured an explosion that powerful!
"T-this is way too dangerous!"
Shen Yi stared at the scene in disbelief, her brows drawn tight. "Someone could have been killed!"
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Shen. Didn't you notice that my brother deliberately waited until Student Wu used Nether Clone to escape before setting it off?" Yun Qianyue glanced at Shen Yi, who was visibly rattled, and spoke in a calm voice.
Yun Qianzhao walked up to Wu Siduo, the tip of the Sun God Spear pointed at her brow. "You've lost."
Wu Siduo swallowed. She knew, of course, that Yun Qianzhao had held back. Otherwise, that one explosion fueled by an Ultimate Attribute would have landed her in the infirmary for months!
"Teacher Yun, do you have an Ultimate Martial Soul?"
Yun Qianzhao didn't hide it. He nodded. "That's right. I have an Ultimate Martial Soul."
Wu Siduo drew a deep breath and cupped her hands toward Yun Qianzhao. "I concede! No wonder your attribute suppression is so terrifying!"
Both her Martial Soul and Xu Yucheng's were inclined toward the Nether and yin. Her Second Martial Soul had only one Soul Ring, too. It was no wonder she'd lost against someone with an Ultimate Attribute like Yun Qianzhao.
Not far away, Xu Yucheng gradually came to his senses and got up from the ground. He looked toward Yun Qianzhao and asked, "Teacher Yun, I have a question—"
"Ask."
Yun Qianzhao turned to look at him.
"What quality is your weapon? My Martial Soul trembled the moment it touched it! That shouldn't happen!"
Xu Yucheng voiced the question that had been troubling him.
He'd guessed it had to be at least Fusion Forging or Soul Forging grade!
However, Xu Yucheng soon realized he'd still underestimated it. Yun Qianzhao smiled faintly and said, "My weapon was personally forged at the Heavenly Forging level by Senior Zhen Hua, the Divine Craftsman, at my master's request!"
"Heavenly... Heavenly Forging?"
Xu Yucheng's eyes widened in shock. The whole arena fell silent.
"Oh my god—his weapon was Heavenly Forging grade! No wonder it made me tremble the instant I touched it!" Xie Xie suddenly understood. He shook his head and said, "As expected of Sky-Piercing Douluo's disciple. He's so young, yet he already has a Heavenly Forging-grade weapon!"
"Will I ever get to own a weapon of that grade?" Xu Xiaoyan sighed.
"Hey! That's way too unfair!"
Just then, a voice came from nearby. Everyone turned toward it and saw a blond boy standing there. He said, "Using a Heavenly Forging-grade weapon against freshmen? Have you no shame?"
"Is that Yue Zhengyu? What's he doing here?"
Tang Wulin and the others were surprised when they saw who had spoken.
Only then did everyone notice that quite a crowd from other classes had gathered around the Grand Martial Arts Arena. Quite a few upperclassmen had come, too.
