Can't Light the Cigarette? Instant Kill!

(Xiao Xiao beautiful image)

"I haven't done this in many years."

Wang Dong'er was stunned for a moment.

Lin Ye was also stunned for a moment.

Wang Bian looked a bit embarrassed as he squeezed out a stiff wink toward Lin Ye's side; the expression was as awkward as it could possibly be.

"Ah, haha, I've made a fool of myself, truly—"

He pressed his black hand and white hand together, bowing toward his surroundings while muttering, "Thank you, thank you."

Lin Ye stood behind, the corner of his mouth twitching.

Is this guy here to launch a mental attack?

Wang Dong'er was so disgusted she couldn't stand it.

A look of obvious disdain appeared on her exquisite face as her figure traced an arc in the air, heading straight for Wang Bian!

Prioritizing the one standing at the very back—that had to be either an auxiliary or food-type soul master!

Yi Yang Gan Xi's reaction was not slow; he frantically threw stones at Wang Dong'er, attempting to disrupt her attack path.

Gray, dusty stones flew over with whistling sounds, their angles tricky and their numbers dense.

But Wang Dong'er didn't take them seriously at all.

She flipped nimbly in the air, her legs kicking out alternately, and those stones were kicked away one after another like flies being swatted.

Just then, Wang Bian moved.

He pulled two cigarettes out of that box of Furong Wang and tossed them to Yi Yang Gan Xi and Wang Jun Kai.

The two caught them subconsciously, their movements as practiced as if they had rehearsed them a thousand times.

Then, Wang Bian hurriedly pulled out a lighter and ran over to light Yi Yang Gan Xi's cigarette.

The lighter clicked a few times, but the flame was blown out by the wind as soon as it appeared.

Yi Yang Gan Xi grew anxious: "Jun Kai, come over and block the wind!"

Wang Jun Kai let out an "Oh," and flapped the pair of Orleans Roasted Wings on his back as he ran over. The three of them quickly stood in a circle, hunching their necks to block the wind.

Yi Yang Gan Xi held the cigarette in his mouth, and Wang Bian struck the lighter again...

Wang Dong'er stopped in mid-air, speechless.

Are you treating us like air?

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three muffled thuds rang out almost simultaneously.

Wang Dong'er's figure flashed past like a blue-gold bolt of lightning, her three kicks landing precisely on the bodies of the three men.

The three "spirit youths" didn't even have time to scream before they turned into three parabolas, flying out of the assessment area and rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

"Class One, Lin Ye's team, one victory."

The referee teacher announced the result with an expressionless face.

Lin Ye leaned against a pillar at the edge of the arena, hands in his pockets, looking relaxed.

This assessment really had no difficulty at all.

The first round of the Freshman Assessment ended quickly.

Today's assessment was mainly to let the freshmen adapt to this combat-style evaluation method.

The density of the upcoming assessments would increase significantly.

Tomorrow, there would be two rounds in the morning and two in the afternoon, totaling four rounds.

The third day would be even more terrifying, with each team having to undergo five rounds of assessment.

The entire Freshman Assessment would last only a short three days.

During the first day of matches, Lin Ye paid special attention to the other teams in the same zone.

Then, his brows furrowed slightly.

Dai Huabin's team was actually assigned to the same zone as them.

Zone 32.

In other words, they would inevitably face Dai Huabin sooner or later tomorrow.

Lin Ye leaned against the bed frame in his dormitory, his fingers tapping lightly on his knees.

Dai Huabin was a Soul Elder with three-ring cultivation, belonging to the absolute top tier of combat power among the freshmen.

Moreover, he had the coordination of Zhu Lu's Hell Spirit Cat martial soul, allowing them to unleash the Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Hell White Tiger.

That thing was an almost unsolvable existence in the Freshman Assessment.

It seemed that he would have to take action himself for this match.

He closed his eyes, sensing the Soul Power slowly recovering within his body.

Following the guidance of the Auspicious Beast earlier, he discovered that his first soul skill, Lotus Heart Consciousness Sea, could now be shared with his teammates, much like Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection.

This was an unexpected delight.

The next day, the assessment continued.

Matches in the thirty-second zone proceeded one after another.

Lin Ye's team had instantly defeated their opponents in all three of their previous matches.

In fact, Wang Dong'er had been the only one to make a move in every match, while Xiao Xiao watched from the sidelines and Lin Ye yawned behind them.

Five wins, zero losses.

Meanwhile, Dai Huabin's team was advancing with equal momentum.

The overbearing offensive power of the White Tiger Martial Soul, combined with the eerie speed of Zhu Lu's Hell Spirit Cat, allowed them to end their battles just as quickly.

Finally, the last match of the day in the thirty-second zone arrived—

Lin Ye's team versus Dai Huabin's team.

Both sides were currently undefeated with four wins.

Whoever won this match would be the top-ranked team in the zone.

The atmosphere in the assessment area suddenly turned heavy.

The other students, who had been lounging on the sidelines chatting, all sat up straight, their gazes fixed in unison on the central arena.

Dai Huabin stood on the other side of the arena, his deep blue eyes—each containing double pupils—staring coldly at the opposite side.

Beside him, Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie were also filled with battle intent.

Dai Huabin's team was recognized as one of the seeded teams with the greatest potential to win the freshman assessment.

With a three-ring Soul Elder and a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, almost no one believed they could lose.

On this side of the arena, Lin Ye flexed his wrists and slowly walked in front of Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao.

"In this match, you will follow my lead."

His voice was not loud, yet it carried an unquestionable certainty. The two girls exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

The assessment began.

The three members of Dai Huabin's team charged forward in their usual formation.

Dai Huabin sprinted at the front, shouting as he ran, "White Tiger, Possession!"

A violent, pale white light suddenly erupted from his body.

He stretched his arms to the sides and puffed out his chest, his entire skeleton popping and cracking as his muscles swelled, stretching his clothes until they were taut.

Every muscle became clearly defined beneath the fabric, and even the air around him began to grow turbulent.

His golden hair instantly turned black and white, with white being the dominant color, though several strands of black hair remained strikingly visible.

Four faint lines appeared on his forehead—three horizontal and one vertical—forming the character for "King."

His hands underwent the most drastic change, having grown twice their original size.

White fur covered his palms, and as his ten fingers twitched, dagger-like claws continuously extended and retracted.

Each claw was like a blade, eight inches long, flickering with a chilling, sinister light under the sun.

Dai Huabin leaned his upper body forward, his double-pupiled eyes turning a deep, profound blue, and his entire presence became as oppressive as a killing machine.

Two yellow and one purple soul rings rose from beneath his feet, and as they rotated, the surging Soul Power spread outward like a tidal wave of pressure.

Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie also completed their Martial Soul Possession.

Zhu Lu's eyes became a deeper shade, her ears pointed upward, and her lithe, powerful body moved with such agility that she left behind a trail of illusory afterimages.

Cui Yajie's transformation was even more peculiar.

After releasing her Martial Soul, she appeared to have aged three or four years; her long pink hair turned into large, wavy curls that cascaded down like a waterfall.

Her eyes were clear and lustrous, and two long, thick tails sprouted from behind her, each about a meter long, their dense pink fur emitting an alluring luster in the moist sunlight.

She locked onto Lin Ye immediately.

Her pink eyes flashed with a charming smile at Lin Ye as her first soul ring quietly lit up—the light was so faint that it would be missed if one weren't paying close attention.

Charm.

But Lin Ye's pale golden eyes merely flickered, showing not the slightest ripple.

Cui Yajie's body shuddered, and her expression shifted slightly.

Her charm skill had never failed before, yet in front of this young man, it had absolutely no effect.

Lin Ye's spiritual power was immense.

At this moment, he had activated his first soul skill, Lotus Heart Consciousness Sea, and every movement, flow of Soul Power, and attack intent of the three opponents were projected into his mind like a comprehensive 3D map.

What was even better was that Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao were also sharing this perception.
