The Terror of an Elementalist

At that moment, seeing how formidable Gu Chen was, the Blue sisters immediately decided to give it everything they had. Even if they failed, they had to show their strength.

Without Huang Chutian, they were at best support-type soul masters. They had no way of defeating Gu Chen.

Not to mention that Gu Chen had the three-ringed Xie Huanyue behind him.

The next moment, the Blue sisters embraced each other, and the soul rings beneath their feet overlapped. Their soul power instantly surged as deep-blue halos erupted from their bodies. They shouted in unison:

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hair Net!"

In an instant, the sky above Gu Chen turned deep blue. A massive Hair Net descended, tougher than before.

"Big Brother, I'm coming!"

Afraid that Gu Chen would be trapped, Xie Huanyue charged over without hesitation. Raising his power-packed fist, he intended to blast open a path and smash everything apart.

Before he could throw his punch, however, Gu Chen backhanded him and sent him flying back to Ning Tian's side.

"Get lost. Don't steal my spotlight."

After cursing at him, Gu Chen raised his left hand and shouted, "Water Arrow, Water Blade."

Boom, boom, boom...

Violent water elements surged forth, forming countless densely packed water arrows and water blades that slashed toward the all-encompassing Hair Net.

The water arrows and blades were incomparably sharp, shredding the Hair Net as though ten thousand swords had been unleashed at once.

Three seconds later, the Blue sisters' Martial Soul Fusion Skill was broken.

"We lost."

The Blue sisters spoke at the same time, accepting their defeat.

Their opponent was simply too strong!

Gu Chen's Elemental Control was not a single soul skill at all, but several soul skills. No matter how tough their Hair Net was, it could not withstand the cutting of those sharp blades.

Although the blades formed from water elements were not as good as true tool martial souls, their impact was far stronger.

Afterward, the Blue sisters withdrew their martial souls.

At the same time, Gu Chen lowered his left hand and walked over to Xie Huanyue and Ning Tian.

Gu Chen reached out and patted his little brother on the shoulder. "Don't steal my spotlight next time. There are so many people watching."

"Boss, I was just afraid you'd run into danger! This was a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, after all. No matter how powerful your Elemental Control is, your soul power level isn't that high. What if something happened?" Xie Huanyue immediately looked aggrieved, then continued, "But Boss, you were seriously awesome just now. It's my first time seeing water elements used like that. You can actually change their form however you want."

Ning Tian nodded rapidly. "It was amazing. It's also my first time seeing how terrifying Elemental Control can be."

Gu Chen silently raised his chin, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

This was nothing. Things would get even more outrageous in the future.

Fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, time, and space elements—each one would be stronger than the last. This was only the beginning.

Just then, Wang Yan announced loudly, "Freshman Class Nine, Team Gu Chen wins."

Once the announcement was made, the two teams left the arena.

As soon as Gu Chen returned to his class, he saw the Freshman Class Nine students applauding and cheering.

"Class Monitor, you're too strong! You're the strongest elemental soul master, the true controller of the elements!"

"Class Monitor, I want to have your babies!"

"Class Monitor, are you into guys?"

"Man, you're really my big bro!"

Looking at the enthusiastic students, Gu Chen coughed, clasped his hands behind his back, and said blandly, "Keep it low-key. I just have a bit of skill. If you absolutely have to describe my strength, I think 'holding the sun and moon, plucking the stars' and 'none in this world can compare to me' would do."

As soon as he said that, the Freshman Class Nine students shouted even louder.

Was that showing off? Not at all. Their class monitor truly had that kind of strength.

Ning Tian burst into laughter. "That's enough. Xu Sanshi hasn't shown off as much over several years as you did in one go."

"Exactly, exactly!" Wu Feng chimed in.

Gu Chen glanced at the two girls and said, "What do you know? Having strength is for showing off. If I wasn't here to show off, I wouldn't have come to Shrek Academy."

"We work so hard to become stronger so that we can earn recognition, respect, and status, don't we?"

Xie Huanyue immediately stepped forward and said, "Big Brother's right! Only by becoming stronger can we show off better. We become stronger so we can show off."

"'Holding the sun and moon, plucking the stars; none in this world can compare to me'—that's talking about my Big Brother Gu Chen."

"If heaven had not given birth to Xie Huanyue, the ages of Douluo would have been a long night. That's talking about me."

Gu Chen lifted his chin and listened to the flattery, but the moment he heard Xie Huanyue's second line, he sensed something was off. His expression changed slightly.

How was this kid even more shameless than him?

Gu Chen raised his hand and smacked his little brother on the head. "You brat, are you stealing my spotlight?"

Ning Tian and Wu Feng burst out laughing.

The Freshman Class Nine students could not hold it in either, each of them letting out strange, stifled laughs.

Xie Huanyue covered his head and sidled up to Gu Chen with a fawning smile. "It's all describing Big Brother. I was just praising you."

That immediately put Gu Chen in a good mood.

Meanwhile, over in Freshman Class One's group, Zhou Yi's expression was unpleasant, dark as pig liver.

Gu Chen's strength had exceeded expectations. Even though he only had one ring, that mastery of the elements was not something ordinary people could withstand.

His soul power might be low, but the power of his elements was not.

There were barely any freshmen who could endure the impact of water elements.

Even if they could withstand the elemental impact, Gu Chen still had a second martial soul. It was a classic symbol of strength; one punch could kill a student.

What were they supposed to do now?

My championship!

If they lost, that little bitch Mu Jin would mock her too!

Damn it, damn it!

After thinking it over, Zhou Yi turned to Huo Yuhao and the others and said earnestly, "Yuhao, you are Freshman Class One's hope now. Teacher can only rely on the three of you. You must do your best!"

Huo Yuhao immediately felt immense pressure upon hearing that.

This was not something ordinary people could solve.

Teacher Zhou had handed such a heavy task to them, and their opponents were so terrifying that there was no hope of winning at all.

"Yuhao, can we beat Gu Chen?"

Xiao Xiao lifted her clear eyes and asked worriedly, feeling utterly uncertain.

Huo Yuhao chose to remain silent, because he did not know either.

Gu Chen had Elemental Control and terrifying spiritual power, and he was a twin martial soul master. There was simply no telling how they could win.

Ning Tian and Xie Huanyue, two three-ringed Soul Elders, were also on his team.

Just then, Wang Dong tightly held Xiao Xiao's hand and said confidently, "With Yuhao's Mental Detection, we'll definitely win."

"Xiao Xiao, don't forget that you're also a twin martial soul master!"

After hearing Wang Dong say that, Xiao Xiao finally regained her courage and believed that they had a chance to take down Gu Chen.

For Freshman Class One's honor, she absolutely could not hold them back.

Immediately afterward, the Freshman Assessment continued.

Over the next few days, the Freshman Assessment continued without interruption. Whenever Gu Chen's team took the stage, their battles were crushing victories. They did not even need to use his second martial soul, directly sweeping through the competition with Elemental Control.

Such terrifying results nearly scared the freshman students senseless.

Too strong!

This person was too strong!

Gu Chen was practically not human. He was clearly a ferocious beast.

Fortunately, Gu Chen was fairly gentlemanly. Aside from severely teaching a lesson to students with especially foul mouths, he handled everyone else with just the right amount of restraint.

After several days of matches, Gu Chen became the strongest among the freshmen, thoroughly alarming Elder Xuan, Yan Shaozhe, and the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department, who came to watch the competition.

Soon, the Freshman Assessment entered the semifinals. Gu Chen finally encountered an opponent with some suspense—Dai Huabin's team from Freshman Class Five.
