Kneeing Zhu Lu, Punching Dai Huabin!

The Ghost Civet's sharp claws tore through the air toward Gu Shengge's chest, only to be blocked by a thin layer of golden light. Surprise flashed through Zhu Lu's beautiful eyes. Her claws felt as though they had struck an indestructible slab of refined iron, held outside by the golden light and unable to harm Gu Shengge in the slightest.

Suddenly, a large hand wreathed in faint golden light reached out like a true dragon's claw, swift as the wind and fast as lightning, giving Zhu Lu no time to react as it seized the sexy little catgirl's wrist and yanked hard!

"Not good!"

Panic appeared on the catgirl's pretty face. Her alluring body was dragged by an irresistible, overwhelming force and hurled toward Gu Shengge.

The next second, Zhu Lu's abdomen felt as if it had been rammed by a Ten-Thousand-Year Rock Rhinoceros. A knee strike landed precisely in her stomach, and unbearable pain shot from her abdomen straight into her brain. Her body bent like a cooked shrimp, her eyes flew wide open, nearly popping from their sockets, while her lips parted as she spat out bitter fluid.

Gu Shengge withdrew his knee. The agonizing pain in her abdomen left Zhu Lu's entire body convulsing, forcibly dispelling her Martial Soul Possession. In an instant, she lost all ability to resist and was easily captured.

"Zhu Lu!"

Seeing Gu Shengge subdue Zhu Lu with a single strike and seize her in his grasp, Dai Huabin and Cui Yajie turned pale in shock.

"Let her go!"

Dai Huabin spread his tiger claws and charged at Gu Shengge with an angry roar. His second Soul Ring lit up, and a blazing ball of white light erupted from his mouth, shooting toward Gu Shengge like a cannonball.

Gu Shengge held the sexy catgirl by the collar. Facing the incoming White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, he neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the blazing beam to strike his body. Just as Dai Huabin thought he had succeeded, the golden light on Gu Shengge's body blocked the Soul Skill completely, leaving him unscathed.

First Soul Skill: Sacred Body: All attributes increased by 200%. At the same time, all negative effects were removed, and he became immune to energy-type Soul Skills no more than ten levels above his own Soul Power. As long as he had enough Soul Power, it could remain active indefinitely.

Dai Huabin's face filled with disbelief when his White Tiger Fierce Light Wave failed to harm Gu Shengge.

He roared like a tiger again to bolster his courage. Fierce light flashed in his eyes as he pounced toward Gu Shengge like a tiger descending a mountain, both tiger-clawed palms swinging with razor-sharp force.

At the same time, Cui Yajie made her move. Her first Soul Ring lit up, and her foxlike eyes met Gu Shengge's. Her Charm Soul Skill activated, seeking to control him.

But Gu Shengge merely gave Cui Yajie a cold glare. An incomparably powerful, nearly tangible force of spiritual power burst forth and directly shattered Cui Yajie's Charm Soul Skill!

"Ah!!"

Cui Yajie cried out in pain, feeling as though her head had been smashed by a massive hammer. The stabbing pain was unbearable, as if countless silver needles were piercing her. Her eyes rolled back, blood flowed from her nostrils, and her body went limp as she fainted on the spot.

Charm Soul Skills naturally worked wonders against those with lower spiritual power, but Gu Shengge not only possessed formidable spiritual power himself, he also had the enhancement of a hundred-thousand-year head Soul Bone and the aid of two gods. Let alone a mere Soul Grandmaster like Cui Yajie, even a Title Douluo could not charm him.

Cui Yajie had brought this entirely upon herself. If Gu Shengge had struck back at that foolish woman, a mere spiritual injury would have been the least of her problems.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Dai Huabin abruptly turned around, only to see Cui Yajie collapsed on the ground with blood flowing from her ears and nose. His heart jolted in shock.

On the spectators' platform, several upper-year teachers revealed worried expressions upon seeing this. This match could not continue any longer.

The moment Gu Shengge revealed his Soul Rings, they knew that Dai Huabin's team had lost.

Seeing Cui Yajie unconscious and Zhu Lu captured, with only Dai Huabin still able to fight, the assessment teacher made his decision. He was just about to step in and stop the match when Gu Shengge and Dai Huabin had already clashed.

No, more accurately, Dai Huabin had been crippled by a single punch from Gu Shengge.

Gu Shengge held Zhu Lu in his left hand and clenched his right into a fist. His figure flashed like a golden rainbow, appearing before Dai Huabin in an instant as he threw a punch!

Seeing the golden fist rushing toward him, Dai Huabin's expression changed drastically. Without time to think, he decisively activated his third Soul Skill.

Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!

The air around Dai Huabin's body twisted. His eyes turned blood-red, and his already muscular body, strengthened by his White Tiger Martial Soul Possession, expanded even further. His muscles bulged exaggeratedly, bursting apart his upper garments and revealing sharply defined musculature. Black stripes appeared across his skin. If not for the lack of fur, he would have looked no different from a tiger's hide.

His tiger paws grew another size larger, and the blades extending from them turned bright silver. Most remarkably, his entire body was shrouded in a powerful golden light, as though he had been gilded. Bloodthirsty light gleamed in his crimson eyes, and every part of him radiated the domineering aura of the king of beasts.

With the boost from White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Dai Huabin's strength and speed surged in an instant. The changes to his body restored his confidence. Rather than evade Gu Shengge's fist, he chose to meet it head-on, swinging his golden tiger paw, carrying immense force, toward Gu Shengge's punch!

However, the scene Dai Huabin had imagined, where he sent Gu Shengge flying back with one palm strike, never happened. All he felt was a vast force transmitted through his tiger paw. Then came an incomparably crisp crack of bone, and Gu Shengge's punch bent Dai Huabin's arm into a bizarre folded shape!

He himself was sent flying like a sandbag by that punch, blasted off the arena and crashing heavily onto the ground. Gravely injured, his head tilted to one side as he fell unconscious.

Gu Shengge slowly withdrew his fist, his indifferent voice filled with disdain.

"Pathetically weak."

Then he flicked his hand and tossed Zhu Lu aside like garbage before slowly walking toward Wang Lulu.

Seeing Gu Shengge approach, Wang Lulu trembled uncontrollably in terror. The fear in her heart forced her to turn and flee. She jumped straight off the arena, forfeiting the match.

Everything had happened too quickly. From beginning to end, even the assessment teacher had not had time to react before the match was already over.

It had been a completely one-sided crushing victory!

Did Gu Shengge, whose strength was no less than that of a Soul Sage, really need to fight a Soul Elder and three Soul Grandmasters for three hundred rounds before narrowly winning?

Crushing them was the proper way!

The watching students all stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.

They had known Gu Shengge would be strong, but they had never expected him to be this strong!

Seeing their class monitor instantly defeat Dai Huabin's group, Ning Tian and the others cheered excitedly. They had claimed another victory.

Seeing Dai Huabin's miserable and bedraggled state below the stage, Huo Yuhao felt immensely satisfied. Well hit!

After a while, the assessment teacher looked at Dai Huabin's team: one had fled, one was convulsing, and two were unconscious, each more seriously injured than the last. He hurriedly summoned the academy's healing Soul Masters, afraid that any delay would leave lasting damage.

Finally, he announced that Gu Shengge's team had won and advanced from the top sixteen to the quarterfinals.

On the spectators' platform, Xuan Zi frowned slightly when he saw how ruthlessly Gu Shengge had acted.
