Su Mu was extremely handsome, with gentle and delicate features, soft and neat lines, and clean and clear eyes without a trace of ferocity. His black hair was neatly styled, which made his figure even more elegant and upright.
In terms of appearance and demeanor, among the talented new generation of the Monster Academy, he and Dai Yueyan are firmly among the top, and are recognized as having unparalleled good looks.
However, compared to Dai Yueyan's innate domineering and sharp aura, and his natural leadership presence, Su Mu's temperament is completely different.
He possessed no aggressive edge whatsoever; instead, he exuded a gentle and refined scholarly aura.
He sat upright and relaxed, his fingertips lightly resting on his knees, his gaze calmly fixed on the ring. His expression was serene and unwavering, showing neither the anxiety of preparing for battle nor the arrogance of facing it. He resembled a refined and elegant young master from a noble family, graceful and composed, gentle and refined like jade.
Outsiders only know that there is a madman named Long Yue in Monster Academy, and the name of the madman is too famous, but very few people know about Su Mu.
But in reality, the name Su Mu is extremely well-known within the Monster Academy.
"Scumbag God Su!" That's Su Mu's nickname.
He ranked third among the Eight Heavenly Kings of the Monster Academy, only behind Dragon Madman Long Yue and the Fourth Prince Dai Yueyan.
In reality, his strength was not much inferior to Dai Yueyan's. Even Dai Yueyan didn't know the extent of Su Mu's strength when he went all out.
On the preparation stand, Dai Yueyan turned her head to look at Su Mu, who was getting up to go on stage. She raised an eyebrow and said with a hint of teasing, "Your luck isn't very good. You've run into Xiao Mu in the first round. Be careful not to be upset."
Su Mu straightened his clothes, a gentle smile spreading across his handsome face, "It's rare to encounter an interesting opponent; it's always better than crushing them all the way. But you, don't wait until I'm done fighting before you fall to someone else's hand."
"Don't worry, my opponent isn't worthy." Dai Yueyan chuckled, patted his shoulder, toned down her playful tone, and earnestly advised, "Don't hold back and test him. Xiao Mu's abilities are extremely unpredictable. Act according to your own strength."
Su Mu nodded slightly. "I know what I'm doing. Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
The two have known each other for many years and know each other inside and out. A few words of banter reveal a tacit understanding between them that needs no further explanation.
Dai Yun'er tilted her head, looking at Dai Yueyan and Su Mu chatting side by side, and chuckled softly, covering her mouth. "Fourth Brother, you two are so close, many people outside are saying that your relationship with Su Mu is unusual. Could the rumors be true?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Yueyan flicked her forehead in exasperation, both amused and exasperated, "What are you thinking about? All you do all day is overthink things."
Su Mu smiled gently upon hearing this, offering no explanation, and simply waved to the two of them.
He turned and strode confidently toward the seventh arena. His refined figure moved through the noisy crowd, and all eyes were on him.
Su Mu slowly stepped onto the arena, his posture elegant and upright. He and Xiao Mu stood facing each other on the platform, their eyes meeting.
The two players, separated by several meters, engaged in a silent contest. The cheers in the arena gradually subsided, and the entire audience held their breath in anticipation.
The referee walked to the center of the ring. The rules for the first round had already been announced and needed no further explanation. He raised his hand and announced loudly, "Ready for the match! Three, two, one, begin!"
The moment the words fell, a faint smile appeared on Su Mu's lips, and five deep purple Soul Ring rose and circulated around his body.
The five purple rings shone brightly. Although none of them were Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, each one was a top-tier thousand-year level with profound foundation, and its quality far exceeded that of ordinary Soul Master.
His figure instantly changed, his black hair turned snow-white, his ears perked up slightly, and five long, fluffy white fox tails stretched out from behind him, with light blue-gray patterns at the tips, making him look noble and agile.
Five purple rings encircled the five fox tails, their purple light swirling, making them even more magnificent and extraordinary.
Su Mu stretched out his arms, and with a gentle flick of his leftmost fox tail, a point of pure white light shot out into the air.
A white halo with a diameter of fifteen meters crashed down in front of him, and the air seemed to freeze.
It was Su Mu's first Soul Skill — the Slow Aura.
A wide-ranging white halo enveloped the area, and a strange slowing force instantly covered the entire arena. Anyone within the halo experienced a significant reduction in movement, Soul Power circulation, and Soul Skill release speed.
Su Mu's playing style is gentle yet extremely cunning. He doesn't attack at the start, but instead locks down the rhythm, forcefully seizing the initiative on the battlefield.
The next instant, his five snow-white fox tails trembled slightly at the same time, and five completely different halos of light rose into the air one after another, falling layer upon layer onto the arena!
The second Soul Skill, Soul Power Severing Aura, with its seven-colored Soul Power flowing, spread out in mid-air, continuously drawing Soul Power from the surrounding area; the dark green Reversal Aura condensed into a ten-meter absolute domain around him, integrating offense, defense, and countermeasures; the pitch-black Devouring Aura quietly enveloped the airspace, its invisible spiritual erosion silently locking down Xiao Mu's sea of consciousness; finally, a dazzling golden Destruction Aura hovered high in the sky, its violent tearing power poised to be unleashed.
Five rings appear simultaneously, and five layers of halo domains suppress the enemy in parallel!
The audience's pupils constricted; no one had expected the refined and gentle Su Mu to possess such terrifying explosive power.
On the preparation bench, a smile flickered in Dai Yueyan's eyes, "This guy is finally getting serious."
On the field, Su Mu remained indifferent, his Soul Power surging more and more violently. Aroused by Xiao Mu's previous strength, he no longer held back, and quietly activated his Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline.
A faint crimson glow crept into his eyes, and his snow-white fox tail instantly grew thicker and stronger, completely transforming his aura.
Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline erupts!
In an instant, the five halos were no longer arranged individually, but instead overlapped and merged into one. The five effects of slowing, peeling, reversing, devouring, and destroying were all stacked together, and their power increased exponentially, forming a terrifying killing domain that covered the entire arena.
Five-ring superposition state formation!
This is Su Mu's true killing move, and also his most terrifying trump card. Multiple auras imprison, mana drain, damage reflection, mental erosion, and physical destruction occur simultaneously, creating an unsolvable suppression that almost no one of the same level can withstand head-on.
Faced with this seemingly unsolvable superimposed domain, Xiao Mu's expression remained unchanged.
Just when everyone thought he would be severely restrained by the multiple halos and fall into a difficult battle, his fifth Soul Ring suddenly lit up, and his body instantly entered a unique superposition state!
His fifth Soul Skill, Schrödinger's Cat, has a random chance of hitting any attack and a 50% chance of complete immunity.
At this moment, divine intervention is upon us!
Unboxing Schrödinger's Cat.
Layers of terrifying aura swept over Xiao Mu, but it was as if he had struck an invisible barrier of rules. Slowing was ineffective, Soul Power stripping failed, reversal and rebound missed, spiritual devouring could not invade his sea of consciousness, and the destructive tearing power could not get close at all.
The overwhelming aura of ultimate killing power had no effect on him; he was completely immune.
"Is that all you've got? Now it's my turn to retaliate!"
