Battle Against Dai Huabin's Team, the Laughable God-Level Martial Soul Evil-Eyed White Tiger
This team had one three-ringed Soul Elder and two level-29 Grand Soul Masters, making them almost the strongest freshman team.
If not for the wildcard that was Gu Chen, Dai Huabin's Team would have practically been guaranteed the championship.
But now, Gu Chen's Team had emerged as a new variable.
Before today's match had even begun, while Gu Chen and Dai Huabin's Team were still preparing, the senior elders who had come to watch were already discussing things enthusiastically.
"Elder Xuan, do you think Gu Chen can continue his undefeated legend?"
Yan Shaozhe sat in the spectator stands and was the first to speak.
Elder Xuan held a wineskin in one hand and a chicken leg in the other. Eating as he spoke, he said, "Shaozhe, what gave you the illusion that Dai Huabin can defeat Gu Chen?"
Yan Shaozhe scratched his head and chuckled. "Elder Xuan, Dai Huabin is still the most outstanding son of the White Tiger Duke's Manor. Besides, his older brother, Dai Yueheng, is the second strongest beneath Xiao Tao. Dai Huabin can't be that bad, can he? And I've looked over Dai Huabin's record. He's undefeated too."
"Don't forget, Dai Huabin is a descendant of the God of War! Dai Mubai, the God of War among the First-Generation Shrek Seven Monsters, possessed the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul. In theory, Dai Huabin is an inheritor of a God-Level Martial Soul."
Elder Xuan snorted derisively. Still chewing on his chicken leg, he said flatly, "Can Dai Huabin beat Xu Sanshi? Gu Chen fought his way into the academy instead of entering with an invitation. The value of that speaks for itself."
"This so-called God of War Bloodline and God of War Martial Soul are, in the end, merely top-tier Martial Souls. The Dai Family doesn't possess a divine inheritance like the Qian Family. At best, it is just a top-tier Martial Soul."
"Besides, Elder Mu said that Gu Chen possesses the Twin Dragon Kings Bloodline. Do you know what that means? It is an existence even more terrifying than the Six-Winged Angel, a bloodline found only in legends. Let alone one Dai Huabin—even ten more wouldn't be enough."
"Don't let this old man fool you into thinking I never handle affairs. My eye for these things is better than yours. I especially respect Martial Souls, particularly those legendary ones."
Yan Shaozhe was left speechless by the scolding. He had originally wanted to see Elder Xuan make a fool of himself, but he hadn't expected Elder Xuan to have studied Gu Chen so thoroughly.
Elder Xuan's respect for dragon Martial Souls truly came from the depths of his bones.
At the side, Xian Lin'er mocked, "Yan Shaozhe, you've hit a wall this time, haven't you? If you really dislike Gu Chen that much, send him to the Soul Guidance Department. We need talent like him."
Qian Duoduo immediately chimed in fawningly, "Yes, yes, yes! Our Soul Guidance Department needs talent like him."
Yan Shaozhe rolled his eyes and gave Xian Lin'er a cold look.
Did she really think he was an idiot?
If Gu Chen were sent away, the Martial Soul Department teachers would probably come choke him in the middle of the night.
Sending such an exceptional genius to the Soul Guidance Department would be an utter waste.
Suddenly, Yan Shaozhe seemed to recall something and said, "Elder Xuan, I told you about Huo Yuhao's situation. He has a rare body Martial Soul. Shouldn't we nurture him properly?"
Elder Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at Huo Yuhao among Freshman Class One, then shook his head regretfully. "Nothing remarkable. He began cultivating too late. Though his body Martial Soul is rare, there are no signs of a Second Awakening, and his first soul ring is only a ten-year one. He isn't suitable for focused cultivation."
"Let the child remain in the Outer Court and develop steadily for now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xian Lin'er immediately stepped forward. "Give him to our Soul Guidance Department. Spiritual-type soul masters are the most suitable for us, and Fan Yu has asked me for him. Yan Shaozhe, surely you won't refuse?"
Yan Shaozhe truly didn't want to give them anyone. He didn't want to give even a single person to the Soul Guidance Department.
But these mediocre students in the Outer Court had to be dealt with sooner or later.
After considering it carefully, Yan Shaozhe decided that Huo Yuhao was not worth cultivating. He might as well hand him to the Soul Guidance Department, so he agreed to Xian Lin'er's request.
He was only a spiritual-type soul master with a ten-year soul ring, after all. It was no big deal.
Soon after, the senior elders stopped their discussion and prepared to watch the upcoming freshman semifinals.
Within the assessment area, Gu Chen's Team and Dai Huabin's Team had already entered the field. The referee had also changed from Wang Yan to the dean of students, Du Weilun.
Du Weilun swept his gaze over both sides and said, "I will announce a temporary rule. You may attack your opponents with all your strength, but anyone I rescue will be considered to have withdrawn from the match. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Both teams answered in unison before retreating to their respective sides.
At that moment, Dai Huabin raised his eyes toward Gu Chen and said word by word, "I will let you know that your laughable Elemental Control is utterly worthless before a true God-Level Martial Soul and a descendant of the God of War. I will show you the power of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger."
Zhu Lu added, "You may not be able to withstand our ultimate move!"
Gu Chen could not help bursting into laughter. Pointing at Dai Huabin, he mocked, "You? A descendant of the God of War? You think you deserve to call yourself a God-Level Martial Soul? Your Dai Family really knows how to flatter itself."
"Tang San became a god back then, yet even the Clear Sky Sect never dared claim that it possessed a God-Level Martial Soul. You people are calling yourselves that already."
"And that ridiculous Evil-Eyed White Tiger of yours—stop trying to make me laugh. You really think you're a Six-Winged Angel from the Qian Family? You don't even have the God of War bloodline; Dai Mubai didn't leave behind any descendants at all. You're just a descendant of Dai Davis."
"Not to mention you—even if your ancestor were alive right now, I could kick him to death with one foot and show him what a true God-Level Martial Soul is. No, a God King-Level Martial Soul!"
Immediately after that, his little brother Xie Huanyue jumped out as well. "Exactly, exactly! You really think you're a descendant of the God of War? Your Dai Family doesn't even have a divine inheritance, yet you want to sit at the same table as the Six-Winged Angel. You're dreaming in broad daylight."
"I'm almost embarrassed to call mine the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul," Ning Tian said.
Every one of those naked insults entered Dai Huabin's ears without missing a word.
How would descendants react when their ancestor was insulted? Dai Huabin's current state gave the answer.
Dai Huabin was so furious his lungs were about to explode.
His face instantly flushed red, and he panted like a bull.
Dai Huabin would not allow anyone to insult his ancestor, insult the descendants of the God of War, or insult the White Tiger Duke's Manor.
The Evil-Eyed White Tiger was a God-Level Martial Soul, on par with the Six-Winged Angel!
This Gu Chen had earned himself a death sentence!
Today, he had to crush this bastard beneath his feet.
At that moment, Du Weilun's voice rang out again. "Announce your names."
"Gu Chen."
"Xie Huanyue."
"Ning Tian."
Dai Huabin's side then announced their names as well.
"Dai Huabin."
"Zhu Lu."
"Cui Yajie."
After the names had been announced, Du Weilun shouted, "Begin!"
The instant his words fell, Gu Chen took a step forward and unleashed the suppression of his Dragon God Bloodline.
Dai Huabin and the other two immediately felt as though a mountain had appeared above their heads.
What terrifying bloodline suppression.
The three of them could barely remain standing.
How could it be this terrifying?!
But terrifying pressure could also unleash one's potential. Dai Huabin suddenly roared, "White Tiger Possession!"
In an instant, intense white light erupted from his body. His bones crackled, his muscles swelled into a tiger-like form, and his golden hair turned black and white. A king character appeared on his forehead, while three soul rings rose beneath his feet.
Dai Huabin's hands transformed into tiger claws that gleamed with cold light, making him resemble a killing machine.
Immediately afterward, Zhu Lu also activated her Netherworld Spirit Cat possession, while Cui Yajie activated her Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul. Each released their soul rings.
The next second, Cui Yajie's soul ring lit up, and she decisively launched a charm skill at Gu Chen.
At the time, she had no idea how terrifying Gu Chen's spiritual power was, and Huo Yuhao had never told anyone the extent that Gu Chen's spiritual power had reached.
At that moment, Gu Chen's eyes lit up as well. Staring directly at Cui Yajie, he launched a spiritual counterattack.
"Ah! My eyes!"
Cui Yajie let out a pained groan. Her eyes went blind at that moment, and under Gu Chen's terrifying spiritual pressure, she felt as though her soul were about to shatter.
Seeing this, Zhu Lu decisively launched Netherworld Thrust.
Dai Huabin's second soul ring lit up, and he opened his mouth to fire a White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, also targeting Gu Chen.
"Seven Treasures, Glazed Light Appears. First, speed. Third, strength."
Ning Tian decisively chanted the soul incantation, placing all the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's speed and strength boosts on Gu Chen.
Their tactics were still very simple: one held off three.
Neither she nor Xie Huanyue needed to fight seriously.
At this moment, Zhu Lu had already reached Gu Chen's back and unleashed Netherworld Hundred Claws, while Dai Huabin's White Tiger Blazing Light Wave came crashing toward him.
Gu Chen did not dodge. He decisively combined the power of his bloodline with a spiritual attack, raised his right fist blazing with golden and silver light, and shouted, "Dragon God's Domain-Shaking Realm!"
