Gu Shengge, dressed in white, was as noble as the bright moon. His platinum hair drifted lightly as his sharp gaze fell upon Huo Yuhao and the others.
Huo Yuhao immediately grew incomparably tense. Wang Dong stepped in front of Huo Yuhao and watched Gu Shengge warily. She sensed an intense feeling of danger, her body taut as she prepared to strike at any moment.
Hearing that their class monitor was personally stepping in, Nanmen Yuner and Wu Feng both retreated, shielding Ning Tian as they left the arena to Gu Shengge.
On the elevated viewing platform, Mu Jin's pretty face showed a faint smile. Turning to Zhou Yi and Fan Yu, who had arrived not long ago, she said with a smile, "Zhou Yi, remember to prepare the soul bone."
"Hmph! Are you really that confident?"
At that, Zhou Yi snorted coldly. Looking at Gu Shengge, disgust filled her eyes. That woman Mu Jin was so confident in this fellow; she wanted to see what was so special about him.
On the arena, Gu Shengge withdrew his gaze and slowly spoke. His voice was not loud, yet it echoed clearly throughout the Assessment Zone.
"Class Nine, Gu Shengge. Level 40 assault-type battle Soul Elder."
Level 40!
Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and the others all widened their eyes. Their bodies trembled as expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces. Had they heard wrong?
The older students in the audience were likewise stunned upon hearing Gu Shengge introduce himself. A new student had actually reached Level 40? What kind of joke was that? Could he be falsely reporting his rank?
The next second, three hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings rose beneath Gu Shengge's feet. Scarlet as blood, they radiated horrifying Soul Power fluctuations that blanketed the entire Assessment Zone, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.
The Angel God martial soul appeared behind him, towering ninety feet high. Its eight wings spread wide as countless golden feathers drifted down. It held the Angel Holy Sword, sacred and majestic, while Lie Yans of light blazed fiercely, illuminating the world, dispelling darkness and gloom, and judging all evil!
With the appearance of the hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings, the Assessment Zone fell deathly silent. The Angel God martial soul's radiance was far too dazzling, drawing the attention of teachers from other areas.
When they saw the hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings surrounding Gu Shengge, their minds also went blank.
On the platform, Zhou Yi's black-rimmed glasses were startled right off her nose. She stepped on them, slammed both hands against the railing, and stared wide-eyed in utter shock. Overwhelmed with emotion, even her voice changed, becoming so shrill it pierced the eardrums.
"A hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring! How is that possible?!"
Fan Yu beside her was also dumbfounded. Only Mu Jin wore a beaming smile.
The next moment, cries of alarm like crashing waves erupted from the watching students. Though they could not believe that someone could possess hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings while still a Soul Elder, the truth was right before their eyes. They had no choice but to believe it.
The commotion was so intense that it even disturbed students in the other assessment areas. They all stopped what they were doing and looked toward Assessment Zone Eight.
What happened over there? Why was there such a huge commotion?
Huo Yuhao and the others looked at Gu Shengge, who radiated an overwhelmingly powerful, irresistible might, and their minds went numb.
They knew Gu Shengge was strong, but they had never imagined he was this strong!
Level 40, and he even possessed three hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings. How were they supposed to fight this?
Xiao Xiao, who had only just regained her footing, was so frightened by Gu Shengge that she collapsed onto the ground, trembling. In the twin-tailed girl's eyes, the white-robed youth in the distance was as terrifying as a demon god—an invincible existence that could not be defeated!
Wang Dong retreated several steps in a row, thoroughly frightened as well.
Although Huo Yuhao was equally shocked, he did not back down. His goal was the championship; he absolutely could not lose this match.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm within him was also awakened. Looking at Gu Shengge through Huo Yuhao's eyes, the big fat silkworm was stunned too.
"Wow! Where did this monster come from?!"
Hearing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice, Huo Yuhao felt delighted, as though he had found something to rely on. "Brother Sky Dream, you're awake."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said, "Yeah, that monster woke me up."
As he spoke, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm carefully observed Gu Shengge, secretly marveling. It was the first time he had seen a Soul Elder possess hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings—and all three of them were hundred-thousand-year ones.
"Brother Sky Dream, if you borrowed my body to fight, could you defeat that person?"
Upon hearing that, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm lost his usual confidence and became somewhat uncertain.
"Even I'm not sure, but we can try. You'll have to put up some kind of disguise, though."
"I understand."
Huo Yuhao nodded. Whether it worked or not, he had decided to give it a try.
"Han Yue, stand in front of Wang Dong and me. Hold Gu Shengge back for us and buy us time."
Hearing this, Han Yue showed a helpless expression. Why struggle so desperately? With their strength, they could not possibly be a match for his boss.
Though he complained inwardly, Han Yue did not move slowly. Drawing upon the power of his martial soul, he condensed a stone wall in front of himself, blocking Gu Shengge's line of sight.
Huo Yuhao hurriedly placed his hand on Wang Dong's shoulder. She also knew what Huo Yuhao intended to do: use Hao Dong Power to contend against Gu Shengge.
But this was merely Huo Yuhao's disguise.
Huo Yuhao opened his mind. "Brother Sky Dream, I'll leave it to you."
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm nodded and took control of Huo Yuhao's body in his place. The color of his Spirit Eyes changed. His deep-blue eyes, which had glimmered with faint golden light, instantly turned white—white like ten-thousand-year profound ice.
The white Soul Ring surrounding him also transformed into an incomparably brilliant gold.
At the same time, an extreme chill abruptly spread from Huo Yuhao. Centered on his body, the entire arena instantly became a world of ice and snow. The temperature in the Assessment Zone plummeted, cold enough to pierce the bone.
The sudden change made Gu Shengge frown slightly. The students and teachers on the viewing platform also focused their gazes on Huo Yuhao.
Seeing how he and Wang Dong were connected, they secretly wondered whether they were about to use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Zhou Yi, meanwhile, wore a puzzled expression. Given Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's circumstances, they could only use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill once every seven days. It had only been a few days—could they use it again already?
Gu Shengge sensed that the energy fluctuations behind the stone wall—no, the ice wall—were growing increasingly intense, and a guess arose in his mind.
Could Huo Yuhao be borrowing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's power? Or rather, was the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm currently using his body?
A trace of disdain appeared in Gu Shengge's eyes. Heh! It's not like you're the only one who can do ghost possession. I can do it too—and mine's a mother and daughter pair. I can possess them however I want.
"Yuner, you all get off first."
To avoid harming bystanders, Gu Shengge had Nanmen Yuner and the others leave the arena first.
The three girls asked no questions and turned to leap off the arena.
On the other side, Han Yue sensed that something was wrong behind him and made the same decision as Gu Shengge, carrying Xiao Xiao off the arena.
Gu Shengge contacted Qian Renxue in Creation Space and chose to have her possess him.
"Sister Xue, I'll leave the rest to you."
Qian Renxue said, "Leave it to me, Master."
Gu Shengge opened his mind and handed his body over to Qian Renxue.
Let him see whether a million-year soul beast was stronger, or the Angel God!
