Ace Against Ace

The round-robin tournament had been underway for two days.

Over those two days, Ye Xinglan had missed almost none of the matches, silently observing every one of Chen An's battles.

The more she watched, the deeper her doubts became, and the more she understood the meaning behind Teacher Shen Yi's words—Class Zero of Eastsea Academy was truly anything but ordinary.

As Class Zero's captain, Chen An had been exceedingly unusual throughout the tournament.

In the Three-Person Round-Robin Tournament, he had not participated in a single match, merely watching from the sidelines.

Even in the five-person team battles, he rarely took the initiative to attack. He remained in the back line, focusing on support, battlefield control, and covering his teammates.

He silently created opportunities for Tang Wuling, Gu Yue, and the others to deal damage, yielding every eye-catching achievement to them.

If one looked only at his performance in team battles, anyone would think that this captain was actually weaker than several members of his own team.

Yet once it came to the individual matches, which tested one's raw strength the most, everything was completely different.

Against genuine Three-Ring Realm opponents, Chen An was always calm and composed, winning with effortless ease.

Combined with the fact that his eyes were perfectly fine and his vision had no problems, yet he wore an eyepatch at all times, all the clues converged on one answer.

He was hiding his strength.

Ye Xinglan repeatedly replayed his battles in her mind, constantly analyzing and deducing.

His Martial Soul consisted of countless tiny scales. They could gather or scatter, attack or defend, and assemble into any configuration at will, changing forms endlessly.

Could it be a mutated dragon-type Beast Martial Soul combined with twin martial souls, the other being his eyes?

On the competition stage.
