On the arena stage, Wang Dong spoke first. His exceptionally handsome face carried a trace of seriousness as he announced loudly, "Freshman Class One, Wang Dong, Level 24 assault-type battle Soul Grandmaster."
Huo Yuhao retreated behind Wang Dong and the others, then said in a deep voice, "Freshman Class One, Huo Yuhao, Level 15 control-type battle Soul Master."
The little girl with green twin ponytails called out sweetly, "Freshman Class One, Xiao Xiao, Level 22 control-type battle Soul Grandmaster."
Han Yue stepped sideways and positioned himself in front of Huo Yuhao. "Freshman Class One, Han Yue, Level 25 defense-type battle Soul Grandmaster."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao only had a "ten-year Soul Ring," Wu Feng's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of disdain. She flicked her red ponytail and looked provocatively at Huo Yuhao's group, declaring proudly, "Class Nine, Wu Feng, Level 27 assault-type battle Soul Grandmaster."
Level 27!
Hearing that, Huo Yuhao was startled. She was actually two levels higher than Han Yue.
"Class Nine, Nanmen Yuner, Level 29 agility-type battle Soul Grandmaster."
Nanmen Yuner raised a hand to brush back her beautiful hair. With a seductive smile, she sweetly announced her Soul Power Level.
Huo Yuhao and the others could not help but feel their hearts sink. Level 29! Even higher than Wu Feng.
On the spectator platform, Zhou Yi's gaze darkened when she heard Wu Feng and Nanmen Yuner introduce themselves. She had not expected Class Nine's seeded students to possess such high Soul Power, far surpassing Huo Yuhao's group.
Smiling, Ning Tian announced her own level as well. "Class Nine, Ning Tian, Level 31 auxiliary-type tool Soul Elder."
Gu Shengge stood beside Ning Tian without saying a word, not introducing himself.
Two high-level Soul Grandmasters, an auxiliary Soul Elder, and Gu Shengge, who had crushed Xu Sanshi!
Huo Yuhao felt his scalp go numb. His already heavy heart plunged straight to the bottom. How were they supposed to fight this?
Wang Dong stared at Wu Feng, noticing the contempt in her eyes. A surge of anger rose in his heart, and he snorted coldly. So what if she was Level 27? She dared look down on them? He would beat her to a pulp soon enough!
Wu Feng sensed Wang Dong's gaze as well. Their eyes met, sparks flying invisibly between them. The match had not even begun, yet they were already at odds.
"Begin."
As soon as the assessment teacher's words fell, Wang Dong pushed off the ground with his toes and lunged forward. At the same time, dazzling blue-gold light gathered behind his back, and the wings of the Light Goddess Butterfly instantly unfurled. Under the sunlight, they bloomed with brilliant radiance, dazzling Ning Tian and the others into a momentary daze.
Looking at those incomparably beautiful butterfly wings, Gu Shengge could not help but praise them inwardly. As expected of the Light Goddess Butterfly, known as the most beautiful Martial Soul on the continent. It truly was gorgeous.
Wu Feng came back to her senses. Before she had time to admire the Light Goddess Butterfly's beauty, she activated her Red Dragon Martial Soul Possession. Amplified by her Martial Soul, her delicate body became even taller, more voluptuous and alluring, brimming with explosive power.
Seeing Wang Dong charging toward her, she forcefully kicked off the ground with her shapely legs and shot at him like a cannonball. At the same time, her first Soul Ring lit up as Dragon Lie Yan erupted around her voluptuous body, incomparably scorching.
The Red Dragon roared and lunged at the Light Goddess Butterfly!
Wu Feng swung her fist, driving a punch containing all her strength fiercely toward Wang Dong. Dragon Lie Yan coiled around it, blazing hot!
Wang Dong hurriedly raised both arms to block. He felt an immense force strike him, and with a dull thud, Wu Feng's punch sent him flying back several meters. Xiao Xiao swiftly used her Three-Life Soul Suppression Cauldron as support behind him, stopping his retreat.
The burning pain in his arms made Wang Dong's face tighten in pain. He shook his slightly numb arms and looked at Wu Feng, surrounded by Dragon Lie Yan. This girl was incredibly strong.
Though both were assault-type Soul Masters, Wang Dong and Wu Feng had different specialties. His physical strength could not compare to hers.
The probing was over. Wang Dong signaled that Huo Yuhao could begin.
Huo Yuhao understood immediately. His Spirit Eyes focused as he silently invoked his Soul Skill. His Soul Ring emitted a faint glow as Spiritual Detection Sharing activated.
Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Han Yue all received Huo Yuhao's spiritual sharing. It was as though they had gained a god's-eye view, with every detail of the arena clear to them.
At the same time, Ning Tian made her move.
"Seven Treasures Have a Name: first, strength; second, speed."
The dazzling Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda appeared in Ning Tian's hand. Her first and second Soul Skills activated at once. The strength amplification fell upon Nanmen Yuner, while the speed amplification landed on Wu Feng, perfectly compensating for their weaknesses.
On the spectator platform, Zhou Yi's eyes widened behind her black-framed glasses when she saw the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda. She cried out in shock, "Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda!"
The moment she saw the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, even the previously confident Zhou Yi began to worry.
On the arena stage, Gu Shengge, who had remained silent all this time, finally gave Nanmen Yuner an order.
"Yuner, attack the one with a single ring first."
"Okay, Class Monitor."
Nanmen Yuner obediently nodded. Fiery wings spread from her back, and with a beat of them, she transformed into a crimson streak that shot toward Huo Yuhao.
Although she was incredibly fast, Huo Yuhao had already predicted her attack route through his Spiritual Detection. Xiao Xiao immediately controlled the Three-Life Soul Suppression Cauldron and smashed it toward Nanmen Yuner.
A warning flared in Nanmen Yuner's heart, and her figure abruptly halted. Yet just as the Soul-Calming Cauldron came down—
Cauldron Tremor!
A powerful vibration surged from the cauldron and swept across the surroundings. She no longer had time to evade. The shockwave enveloped her delicate body, and the girl fell into a brief daze.
Xiao Xiao's Cauldron Tremor combined perfectly with Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection. Their timing and positioning were flawless, making it a supreme battlefield-control weapon. Even someone as swift as Nanmen Yuner could not dodge it.
Seeing Nanmen Yuner stunned on the spot, Gu Shengge did not hesitate in the slightest. He moved as fast as lightning. Just as Xiao Xiao controlled the Soul-Calming Cauldron to smash down on Nanmen Yuner again, he wrapped an arm around her slender waist and punched the heavy, sturdy cauldron!
BOOM!!!
A thunderous explosion echoed through the Assessment Zone. Gu Shengge's punch sent the Soul-Calming Cauldron flying, even leaving a shallow fist mark on its body.
Her Martial Soul damaged, Xiao Xiao suffered backlash as well. Pain coursed through her petite body, and agony appeared on her small face. Her complexion turned pale, her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground as her Martial Soul vanished.
"Xiao Xiao!"
Seeing Xiao Xiao injured, Han Yue, who had been guarding Huo Yuhao, paled dramatically. He decisively abandoned Huo Yuhao, rushed forward, and gathered her into his arms.
Seeing this, surprise appeared in Gu Shengge's eyes. There was definitely something going on between those two. Had he hit too hard just now?
Huo Yuhao became anxious upon seeing Xiao Xiao injured. Wang Dong, who had been fighting Wu Feng intensely, was distracted as well and was knocked to the ground by Wu Feng's punch.
"I'm fine."
Leaning against Han Yue's chest, Xiao Xiao shook her head. Her Martial Soul had merely been damaged; her body was not injured. She struggled out of Han Yue's embrace and stood steadily, her gaze resolute as she said, "Again!"
The Three-Life Soul Suppression Cauldron was damaged, but she still had the Nine Phoenix Ceremonial Flute.
An emerald-green bamboo flute appeared in Xiao Xiao's hand.
Looking at the stubborn little girl who refused to admit defeat, Gu Shengge held the recovered Nanmen Yuner around the waist and retreated. Then he said calmly to Wu Feng, who was pressing Wang Dong down and pummeling him:
"Stop, Wu Feng. I'll handle this match personally."
Hearing that their class monitor was going to take the field himself, Wu Feng knocked Wang Dong back with a punch, then flashed several times before retreating to Ning Tian's side.
On the other side, Huo Yuhao and the others all grew immensely tense the moment they heard that Gu Shengge was making a move.
