Catching the Clear Sky Hammer Barehanded, Claiming the Championship!

At this moment.

Gu Chen had grown irritated from the chase. He decisively raised his left hand and shouted, "Water Wall."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Water elements gathered, forming barriers in every direction across the arena and cutting off Huo Yuhao's escape routes.

"Now you can't run, can you?"

Gu Chen strode forward, raising his powerful right hand.

Huo Yuhao retreated several steps, only to discover that there was nowhere left to flee.

At that critical moment, Xiao Xiao's great cauldron flew over and unleashed Cauldron Shock.

Wang Dong followed close behind, soaring through the air as she said coldly, "You do have some skill, but you can't possibly beat us, because... we're all twin martial soul possessors."

As soon as she finished speaking, a hammer glowing with blue light appeared in Wang Dong's hand and came crashing down toward Gu Chen's head.

It was the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one tool martial soul in the world.

The instant the hammer appeared, the atmosphere erupted. Even the elders were stunned.

The number one tool martial soul in the world!

Just what other secrets did these children possess?

Yet Gu Chen was not intimidated. He was considering whether to use the Heaven-Sacred Abyss-Splitting Halberd to teach that Tang princess a lesson.

But if he hit too hard, wouldn't he lose a maid?

With that thought, Gu Chen faced the descending hammer and decisively unleashed the violent Golden Dragon King's Power. His strength and soul power erupted without reservation as he raised a hand to catch the Clear Sky Hammer head-on.

At that moment, Du Weilun and the elders' expressions changed.

Catching the Clear Sky Hammer barehanded!

Gu Chen had gone mad!

Boom!

A thunderous blast rang out. The ground beneath Gu Chen's feet collapsed, but his right hand had firmly seized the handle of the Clear Sky Hammer.

Cries of shock immediately erupted from the crowd. The elders all rose to their feet, staring at Gu Chen in the arena in disbelief.

He had caught it. He had caught the Clear Sky Hammer.

He had caught the Clear Sky Hammer with his bare hand.

This boy was truly terrifying!

Wang Dong's expression changed dramatically. She suddenly exerted force to wrench the hammer back, straining with both hands and feet.

But how could her strength possibly compare to the Golden Dragon King's? The Clear Sky Hammer seemed locked in Gu Chen's hand. No matter how she pulled, she could not free it.

Damn it, damn it!

That damned Gu Chen!

How could his strength be so terrifying?!

Wang Dong was both ashamed and furious, her little face flushing red.

Then Gu Chen suddenly exerted force, taking the Clear Sky Hammer into his own hand. With his other hand, he seized Wang Dong's palm, their fingers interlocking tightly.

Then, facing Xiao Xiao's incoming cauldron, Gu Chen casually swung the Clear Sky Hammer and sent it flying.

Gu Chen then looked at Wang Dong and said blandly, "Now that I've caught you, do you still think you can run?"

Wang Dong bit her lip, humiliated and furious, unable to break free from Gu Chen's grasp.

After struggling several times, she realized she was completely trapped and had no strength left to break free. She was almost in tears.

Wuwuwu~

Gu Chen was bullying girls!

Gu Chen laughed even louder, like a spoiled young master.

Yet in the very next second, Wang Dong discovered in surprise that her soul power and Gu Chen's could actually flow together. His soul power held a fatal attraction for her.

The sensation of that soul power flowing into her body was warm and comforting, making it impossible not to sink into it.

Wang Dong wanted to break free, yet she could not bear to. She silently nestled into Gu Chen's embrace.

A faint smile curled at Gu Chen's lips.

Not far away, Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly turned bloodshot as he shouted, "Let go of Wang Dong!"

"Soul Shock!"

Pfft!

The instant Huo Yuhao unleashed Soul Shock, his entire body stiffened and he fell straight to the ground, foam spilling from his mouth.

In that situation, he had forgotten the gap between his spiritual power and Gu Chen's.

Gu Chen's spiritual power was stronger than his, and he suffered backlash.

"Yuhao!"

Xiao Xiao immediately rushed over. She discovered that Huo Yuhao had lost all ability to fight and had completely passed out.

Xiao Xiao then glanced at Wang Dong and saw her lying in Gu Chen's arms like a kitten. She instantly felt as though the sky had fallen.

It was over!

They had lost!

Not far away, Gu Chen said, "Can't you announce the victory now? Huo Yuhao can no longer fight, and if Xiao Xiao keeps going, her life will be in danger. I don't want to send such a cute little girl to the infirmary."

"And Wang Dong has no ability to resist now either."

Xiao Xiao's heart immediately warmed, and she felt a comforting warmth spread through her chest.

This guy was still a decent person.

Although he seemed arrogant and somewhat wild, his character was far better than Dai Huabin's. Perhaps losing was not such a bad thing after all, and calling him Master was not so impossible to say.

Then Du Weilun entered the arena.

He first glanced at Huo Yuhao, who had little fighting ability left, then at Xiao Xiao, whose health was nearly depleted, and finally at Wang Dong, who was being held in Gu Chen's arms under the Dragon King's overwhelming pressure.

Du Weilun sighed.

Sigh!

Three twin martial soul possessors had all been suppressed by Gu Chen alone. This kid was far too damn monstrous, and he had not even revealed his full strength.

With such power, he was truly leagues ahead of everyone else.

Du Weilun then announced loudly, "The Huo Yuhao team no longer has the ability to fight. The champions of the freshman assessment elimination tournament are the Gu Chen team."

"However, I must say that all of you are outstanding children. I underestimated your potential. In the future, you will surely become pillars of the academy. Gu Chen is also the strongest peerless genius this academy has seen in ten thousand years."

Cheers!

Cheers erupted throughout the venue, and the students of Freshman Class Nine exploded with excitement.

They had won!

Their class monitor had won!

Mu Jin immediately looked at Zhou Yi and said proudly, "Zhou Yi, from now on, I won't compete with you for students in the outer academy anymore. I'm going to teach in the inner academy."

Zhou Yi walked away dejectedly.

They had lost!

They had suffered a crushing defeat!

In the arena, Gu Chen released Wang Dong's hand and said blandly, "I like rose-scented perfume. Change it next time."

"You bastard!!"

Wang Dong bit her lip and cursed softly.

Gu Chen smiled. "You flatter me so much that I'm embarrassed. But our bet still stands. There are too many people here, so I'll spare you some face. Come to my room tonight and call me that slowly."

Wang Dong felt even more like crying after hearing that.

Why had she gambled with him?!

There was clearly such a massive gap in their strength, so why had she gone and made a bet with this freak?

Now, not only had she lost the match, she also had to call him Master. It was utterly humiliating.

When had the little princess of the Clear Sky Sect ever suffered such indignity?

But... that bastard Gu Chen's soul power really was comforting. It actually felt just like her father's.

At that moment, Xiao Xiao came over and muttered softly, "Wang Dong, can you stop talking? There are so many people here, and the elders have come down too. I don't want to stand here and call him Master with you. It's too embarrassing."

Wang Dong's pretty face reddened slightly. Seeing so many people staring at her, she silently bit her lip and stepped back.

Before leaving, she did not forget Xiao Xiao. She pulled her away with her, leaving Huo Yuhao in the arena foaming at the mouth.

After the match ended, the participating freshmen left the venue in an orderly manner, while Gu Chen was specially kept behind.

Soon afterward, Yan Shaozhe and several elders walked up to Gu Chen, each wearing a satisfied smile.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Yan Shaozhe praised him with a smile. "Good! Your strength truly exceeded our expectations. Your martial soul fusion skill and your barehanded catch of the Clear Sky Hammer have made this old man look at you in a new light."

Even now, recalling the sight of Gu Chen catching the Clear Sky Hammer barehanded still left him in awe.

Since ancient times, the Clear Sky Hammer had been the number one tool martial soul in the world. Even Qian Xunji from ten thousand years ago had been unable to catch a single blow from it, yet Gu Chen had caught it today.

Gu Chen's bloodline was truly powerful. Even Yan Shaozhe felt inferior to him.

At that moment, Xian Lin'er walked over to Gu Chen and asked with a bright smile, "Gu Chen, have you considered coming to study in our Soul Guidance Department?"
