Kicked Away!

Seeing Jiang Yuan subdue Yan so easily, Hu Liena and Xie Yue sucked in a sharp breath.

You were telling them this was someone who had only just awakened his martial soul?

Someone who had only just awakened his martial soul could reach rank twenty-five in soul power, possess the Flame Lord martial soul, and kick a genius of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation around like a ball?

"So strong!"

"When did Spirit Hall get a monster like this?"

Only after Jiang Yuan had walked far away did Xie Yue and Hu Liena finally come back to their senses. Xie Yue spoke in a grave voice.

"Brother, do you think he's really only six?" Hu Liena was just as shaken, her large eyes wide.

Xie Yue fell into deep thought.

His strength had always been about on par with Yan's.

In fact, because beast martial souls held more of an advantage in the early stages, and because he had not yet created the self-made soul skill Full Moon, he had always been slightly inferior in his past battles with Yan.

In other words, Jiang Yuan could kick him around like a ball too.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would absolutely have dared to wring the head off anyone spreading such rumors.

"Ow, ow, ow..."

Amid the two's silence, Yan's wails brought them back to their senses.

After exchanging a glance, Xie Yue and Hu Liena dragged Yan toward the training camp's infirmary.

The afternoon group training class.

The remaining eighty-seven students in the training camp gathered together.

Jiang Yuan stood quietly beside Scott, while everyone in the arena had their gazes, openly or covertly, gathered on him.

There was curiosity, appraisal, disdain, and also... fear.

"Jiang Yuan. Your new companion."

"Jiang Yuan, come and greet everyone."

Scott introduced Jiang Yuan to the crowd in an even tone.

"Jiang Yuan. Martial soul: Void Ancient Dragon. Rank thirteen assault-type battle soul master."

Hearing Jiang Yuan's introduction, quite a few people present had their pupils tremble slightly, and a wave of exclamations rose.

Rank thirteen was not the point.

The point was a six-year-old rank thirteen, which meant Jiang Yuan's innate soul power was very likely full innate soul power.

Previously, the most talented among them had been Hu Liena's trio, with innate rank nine soul power.

Now, at last, someone with full innate soul power had arrived.

And it was full innate soul power with a dragon-type martial soul at that. Either one of those alone was synonymous with power.

When the two were combined, it was a pass to becoming a top-level expert.

"Get in line!"

"Next, we begin today's lesson."

"Keep up with me."

Scott arranged for Jiang Yuan to join the ranks, and after saying this to everyone, he took the lead, hands in his pockets, and left.

Everyone had no time to dwell on the shock Jiang Yuan had given them. They swarmed after Scott, their formation uneven and even somewhat chaotic.

But no one spoke. They simply followed quietly.

Scott's pace was very fast. Everyone had to circulate their soul power to keep up with him.

Jiang Yuan, on the other hand, looked very relaxed, even as if he were taking an idle stroll through a courtyard.

With each step, space beneath his feet rippled faintly, and his entire person appeared ahead as if he had teleported.

It formed a sharp contrast with the others' panting, bedraggled appearances.

That effortless, carefree manner made the envy in many people's eyes seem about to spill out.

What are you showing off for? Using your martial soul this frequently—let's see how long your rank thirteen soul power can hold out.

Of course, there were also jealous people among them, thinking resentfully to themselves.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yuan's endurance was far beyond their expectations.

The Void Ancient Dragon was space's favored child, and could even mobilize energy from the void. It was practically an existence like a perpetual motion machine.

What did running out of energy feel like?

No idea! Didn't know! Don't ask me!

Scott was somewhat surprised as well, but on second thought, he found it reasonable.

Anything produced by Consecrated Hall was bound to be top quality.

Finally, just as someone was about to run out of soul power and fall behind, Scott stopped. By then, everyone had already followed him at high speed to a huge platform at the summit of a mountain.

Several instructors had already been waiting here for quite some time.

"Line up, now. Your legs are already going weak after just a few steps? Like this, how are you supposed to support Spirit Hall's future? How are you supposed to fight evil soul masters and maintain peace on the continent?"

Scott's pitch-black eyes swept over the panting crowd as he spoke in a low voice.

"This afternoon's lesson will still focus on actual combat. The instructors will serve as referees. You'll draw lots for one-on-one matches, with single-elimination rules."

"Jiang Yuan!"

Scott's gaze swept across the group and landed on Jiang Yuan as he spoke flatly.

"Come over here first. You don't need to take part in their sparring. In a bit, you'll fight me. I'll see what level your strength is at."

Although he was a fine product brought out from Consecrated Hall, Jiang Yuan had only just arrived. His martial soul had even only just awakened, and he was still in the learning stage when it came to how to fight, so Scott would give him a certain amount of appropriate consideration.

The surrounding students kept glancing at Jiang Yuan, and several of them sighed inwardly.

They had been planning to properly teach him a lesson, but now it seemed they would not get the chance.

Jiang Yuan silently stepped out from the crowd and stood to the side. He did not really care. The students here were probably only so-so, and if he fought an instructor, he could let loose a little more.

At the very least, he would not have to worry about using too much force and causing serious injuries or anything like that.

"This time, no one's stopping me. I'm going to knock out your teeth one by one."

"I'm going to burn your mouth shut forever."

Yan and Qiangu Xingchen faced off once again. With new grudges and old hatred tangled together, the battle was exceptionally fierce.

In the end, however, Yan was still a notch better. Relying on his three-level lead in soul power, he won the fight by a narrow margin.

"I won. Stay away from Nana from now on."

Carrying the advantage of his victory, Yan gave Qiangu Xingchen one final warning.

He even swept a fierce, warning glare around at the crowd.

"Hmph!"

When Hu Liena saw this, her beautiful eyes glared at Yan. Xie Yue stood off to the side and likewise let out an unhappy cold snort.

Someone was coveting his little sister right in front of him. As her older brother, of course he felt displeased.

Before long, everyone's battles had ended. The final winner was Hu Liena. Mental attributes were still far too overpowered for people at their cultivation level.

Moreover, Yan and Xie Yue, two top-tier combatants, would not be heavy-handed against Hu Liena. When Hu Liena faced the others, it could practically be called whoever she looked at got pregnant.

She did not even need to make a move herself. One soul skill later, the opponent would fall into her charm and be easily defeated by Hu Liena.

Jiang Yuan watched very seriously at first, but after a while, he lost interest.

A training camp full of soul masters and grand soul masters had nothing that made his eyes light up.

"It's our turn."

After everyone had finished, the sun was gradually setting. Scott looked toward Jiang Yuan.

"I'm looking forward to it!"

Jiang Yuan nodded, let out a long breath, and walked toward Scott while warming up and stretching his limbs.

Jiang Yuan was a little unclear about his own strength. Qian Daoliu and the others all said he was very strong, but as for just how strong, he did not have an exact concept in his mind.

This was the perfect chance to give himself a limit test.

Since Scott could be appointed by Spirit Hall as an instructor of the Talent Training Camp, he should have some real skill.
