The upperclassman froze. Before he could figure out what was happening, he was swapped out of the arena. Xu Sanshi returned to the other party's position, gripping the Black Tortoise Shell Shield with a smug expression.
At that moment, the referee stepped forward and announced, "Soul Fighting Arena Number Two, Xu Sanshi wins!"
Xu Sanshi immediately felt refreshed and burst into laughter. "Hahaha, I won!"
The upperclassman who had inexplicably lost the soul fight was instantly displeased. Pointing at Xu Sanshi, he said, "Referee, I refuse to accept this! I still had plenty of soul skills I hadn't used. Xu Sanshi clearly won through cheap tricks. I demand another match, a showdown between real men."
The referee clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Xu Sanshi did not cheat. Soul skills are part of one's strength. Blame yourself for being careless. In a Soul Master Tournament, no one would give you another chance."
Xu Sanshi grinned. "That's right! The teacher is right."
The upperclassman was so furious that his teeth ground together. Pointing at Xu Sanshi's nose, he cursed, "You're not a man. You're just a filthy simp! You don't dare fight me fair and square in a battle between real men. You're a coward, and you'll never awaken the true Black Tortoise martial soul in your life."
"To put it plainly, what strength do you even have? Three months ago, Gu Chen shattered your turtle shield with one punch. If you ran into Gu Chen now, you'd still get beaten until you howled. I look down on you, and Jiang Nannan looks down on you too."
"You're destined to never surpass Gu Chen. You can only be his stepping stone, a simp for the rest of your life."
Whoosh—!
Xu Sanshi flew into a rage at once. Bloodshot veins filled his eyes, and he panted like a bull. He wanted nothing more than to kill that student.
Gu Chen again!
Gu Chen again!
This guy actually used Gu Chen to humiliate him. It was utterly unforgivable.
This man had earned himself a death sentence!
Xu Sanshi immediately said, "Fine, let's go again! If I don't beat you until you call me Daddy, then my name isn't Xu Sanshi!"
To his surprise, the upperclassman suddenly smiled and did not accept Xu Sanshi's soul fight challenge.
The rumors had been right. The moment Xu Sanshi heard the words Gu Chen, he automatically entered a crazed state, biting at everyone like a mad dog. Naturally, he was not about to indulge him.
The upperclassman mocked, "What a coincidence. I don't feel like fighting you now. I only said those things to piss you off. Others might fear your Black Tortoise Sect, but I don't. I'm the young master of a sect too."
"Xu Sanshi, let me give you a few words of advice. Listen carefully."
Xu Sanshi narrowed his murderous eyes. "What do you want to say?"
"As long as you're Gu Chen's defeated opponent for a day, you'll be his defeated opponent for life. Gu Chen is your strictest father. Gu Chen is your daddy." The upperclassman sneered, patted his backside, and walked away.
Xu Sanshi went berserk on the spot.
"Ah!"
That damned upperclassman had actually used Gu Chen to humiliate him. He truly had a death wish.
If they had not been in the academy, Xu Sanshi would definitely have made him pay.
He was already at Four Rings. If he met Gu Chen again, he could beat the shit out of him. A mere One Ring ant could be crushed with a wave of his hand.
After three days apart, one should look at another with new eyes. He was no longer the same.
Even as he raged, Xu Sanshi looked up and saw that familiar figure. Gu Chen also made a taunting gesture at him.
It was him!
Xu Sanshi's eyes widened as thoughts of revenge surged forth. He shouted toward the spectator stands, "Gu Chen, do you dare fight me?"
"Quit barking, you bastard!" Xie Huanyue immediately stepped forward, pointing at Xu Sanshi's nose as he cursed, "You think you're worthy of challenging my boss? Others may fear you, Xu Sanshi, but my boss doesn't. You're only Four Rings and already making noise. My boss could reduce you to ashes with a flick of his finger."
"You..." Xu Sanshi had not expected even a lackey to have such a vicious tongue. He wanted to rush over and tear that mouth apart right then.
At that moment, Gu Chen said, "Someone will accept your challenge. So will I, but not now."
Xu Sanshi shouted, "I'll be waiting!"
The two sides were like fire and water, and a conflict could erupt at any moment. The onlookers were all stunned.
Had the conflict between Xu Sanshi and Gu Chen really escalated this far?
Not far away, Tang Ya, Bei Bei, and Jiang Nannan, who was watching the soul fights, all frowned.
Was Xu Sanshi overreacting a little too much?
Gu Chen had not even said anything, yet Xu Sanshi had gone up to provoke him again. Becoming so arrogant right after advancing to Four Rings was not a good thing.
Gu Chen had just won the Freshman Tournament and was currently at the height of his fame. Would Xu Sanshi not get beaten up if he went looking for trouble now?
The self-body martial soul fusion skill, Dragon God Transformation, was no joke. Dai Huabin was still drooling even now.
At that moment, Gu Chen suddenly rose to his feet and headed to the organizers' area to register for soul fighting qualifications, intending to teach the arrogant Xu Sanshi a lesson.
So what if he had advanced to Four Rings? He was still just a little brother.
Suddenly, Gu Chen thought of a way to toy with Xu Sanshi.
He walked into an empty corner and, using the unique properties of the Dragon God Bloodline, transformed in the blink of an eye into Golden Dragon Princess Lan, dressed in a flowing gilded gown and holding the Golden Dragon Spear.
Gu Chen took out a mirror and was suddenly stunned by his own reflection.
The woman had cascading black hair, flawless icy skin and jade-like bones, deep and clear peach blossom eyes, and a figure that could only be called perfect. She was simply beyond the beauty of ordinary women.
Compared to her, only Snow Empress and Gu Yuena could contend with her.
To be precise, she was practically a replica of Gu Yuena.
Gu Chen silently put away the mirror, snapped his fingers, and raised his soul power to Four Rings.
When it came to endless transformations, the Dragon God stood first. No one on this continent could see through it.
Afterward, he carried the Golden Dragon Spear to the organizers' area to register for soul fighting qualifications.
"Hello, I'd like to register for soul fighting qualifications," Gu Chen said.
The teacher responsible for registration abruptly looked up. Seeing the exquisite female student before him, he could not help but stare blankly for a moment.
So beautiful!
There was actually such a beautiful student on this continent.
But the teacher quickly realized his lapse in composure and hurriedly corrected his attitude. "This student, why have I never seen you before?"
Gu Chen replied calmly, "I used to carry out missions outside. I only recently returned to the academy, so I came to see whether the Outer Court students have made any progress."
The teacher understood.
So she was a student who had been training outside.
The teacher then promptly registered Gu Chen for soul fighting qualifications.
Just like that, Gu Chen obtained soul fighting qualifications using a false identity, false soul power, and a false appearance.
The moment he received his qualifications, Gu Chen, now disguised as a beautiful woman, returned to his previous seat and sat beside Ning Tian.
The instant he appeared, the male and female students present all stared wide-eyed at Gu Chen in disbelief.
Who was this senior sister?
When had their Outer Court gained such a beautiful senior sister? They had never seen her before.
Beautiful!
She was simply too beautiful!
The male students stared at Gu Chen in women's clothing, utterly entranced.
The female students were no exception. They were equally captivated.
This Outer Court senior sister hardly seemed like a beauty from this continent.
A smile curled at Gu Chen's lips. He reached out and patted Ning Tian on the shoulder, saying with a smile, "Hello, junior sister!"
