Violence! Overwhelming Crush!

Chen Junfeng's martial soul was a flexible sword. Because its blade was soft, it could attack in many tricky ways, making it a rather good agility-attack martial soul.

Chen Junfeng and his close friends were all One-Ring Soul Masters. Though their cultivation was not particularly outstanding, their abilities complemented one another well, and they were considered fairly strong among the new students. They had been rather confident.

Then their opponents were—

Wang Qiu'er, who possessed ultimate strength, and Wang Dong'er, whose second soul ring was a thousand-year ring.

Although those two had rarely made a move and outsiders did not know their exact strength, they were quite famous—for living with Huo Yuhao. Even so, their Second Ring cultivation alone was enough to intimidate people.

Aside from those two, there was also Huo Yuhao, whose name had shaken the Outer Academy.

Were they supposed to compete on the same stage against a genius who, as a One-Ring Soul Master, could fight a Soul Emperor one-on-one?

And he had just provoked them?

Chen Junfeng glanced at the assessment teacher, Wang Yan, and took a deep breath.

Teacher, you have to save us at the critical moment!

"The assessment begins."

"Come on, my big chicken legs!" Zhao Haochen shouted. "Don't be afraid!"

Zhao Haochen was a food-type soul master. He had the lowest Soul Power among the three, yet he was the backbone of the team. As he recited his soul incantation, his soul ring flashed, and two braised chicken legs appeared in his hands.

Chen Junfeng took a chicken leg, steadied himself, and wolfed it down.

That was right. No matter how strong the opponent was, he could not be afraid.

Chen Junfeng and Ouyang Junyi worked together seamlessly as they charged at Huo Yuhao's group of three. Ouyang Junyi's martial soul, the Sword-Beaked Hummingbird, was also an agility-attack martial soul like Chen Junfeng's. Zhao Haochen's chicken legs increased speed as well, and the two agility-attack soul masters shot forward like arrows!

Too slow.

Wang Qiu'er raised the Golden Dragon Spear and smashed it into the ground with all her strength.

The floor shattered instantly, sending dust flying as the blast of air shook the two incoming opponents. Their momentum slowed, and just as they tried to accelerate again, Huo Yuhao burst out of the dust and kicked them both away, one with each foot.

Golden light coiled around Huo Yuhao's body, and illusory golden scales covered him. He had copied Wang Qiu'er's two amplification soul skills. He slowly walked toward the remaining Zhao Haochen.

"Surrender."

Zhao Haochen looked utterly incredulous, but he did not retreat. His face twisted as he threw a punch.

"Good!" Seeing how serious he was, Huo Yuhao chose to show him respect. He caught Zhao Haochen's punch with one hand and struck out with his other palm, knocking him out of the arena.

"Class One's Huo Yutong Team has won one match!"

Wang Yan announced loudly. Huo Yuhao stepped forward and pulled Zhao Haochen up from the ground.

"Not bad spirit."

"Thank you."

Wang Yan looked at Huo Yuhao with satisfaction. Not only was he powerful, but he also knew his limits when attacking. He possessed a Body Martial Soul and a one-hundred-percent perfect Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Wang Yan truly found him delightful.

Perhaps this group was Zhou Yi's seeded team.

Wang Yan could not help sighing over Zhou Yi's good fortune. Not only did her class have a Soul Elder like Ye Chaoyuan, it also had a talent like Huo Yuhao.

It would be better if his aptitude were a little higher.

That was the only thing Wang Yan found regrettable. Even so, he still held great expectations for Huo Yuhao. Since he had the chance to become their assessment teacher, he naturally needed to study them carefully.

There was only one round in today's new student assessment, merely to let the students adapt to this kind of combat assessment.

Tomorrow would feature four consecutive rounds, while the day after would have five consecutive rounds, meant to test the students' endurance in prolonged combat.

Wang Yan eagerly awaited tomorrow's battles. He had yet to see the three of them use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. He believed that tomorrow, there would surely be opponents capable of forcing it out.

Well, there really were not.

Over the next two days, there were five rounds of battle in total, and Huo Yuhao's trio steamrolled through every single one with ease.

Right, they could not even be called duels. Wang Yan had not seen a single battle last longer than a minute.

Among the students in Group Thirty-Three, aside from Huo Yuhao's trio, only one person had reached the Second Ring. Though that Second Ring student had decent cultivation, Huo Yuhao's fierce reputation for fighting a Soul Emperor as a One-Ring Soul Master scared him so badly that he did not dare make a move.

Wang Yan was getting anxious. He even asked that student, "This is the new student assessment. Even if you want to conserve your strength, you should at least put up some kind of fight! Why did you just surrender?"

The student looked at Wang Yan. At first, he stammered and did not dare speak. Only after receiving Wang Yan's promise not to get angry did he tell the truth.

"Teacher, you're only at the Fifth Ring. He can fight a Soul Emperor. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to protect me."

Wang Yan was speechless for a long while after hearing that. The student hurriedly added, "You promised not to get angry."

Wang Yan was, after all, a representative of the moderate faction and the youngest senior teacher. He had at least that much self-restraint. He said nothing, merely waving his hand for the student to continue with the assessment.

In any case, Huo Yuhao's team had achieved a complete victory, so they would definitely remain in Group Thirty-Three. He could still watch five more matches. He refused to believe they could steamroll through all of them.

Wang Yan suppressed his impatience. Though he desperately wanted to see Huo Yuhao's trio use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he would never force them to display it. As a teacher, the children's future was more important than his own thirst for knowledge.

There were quite a few Soul Elders in this year's intake. Let's see how far you can go.

Because there was no Ultimate Ice, Ma Xiaotao had not come to the Outer Academy to look for Huo Yuhao. Though he had one less older sister because of it, Huo Yuhao did not care in the slightest. How could Ma Xiaotao be as cute as Ling Luochеn?

Wang Yan excitedly looked at today's match schedule. He felt that his wish was about to come true!

Three Soul Grandmasters.

With these three Second-Ring Soul Grandmasters, could they still fail to force out your Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Heaven truly has eyes!

The leader was Huang Chutian, a power-type assault Soul Grandmaster. The other two, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, were twins.

Twins usually had a mental connection and worked together more seamlessly. Perhaps they even possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill themselves, making success even more likely.

Wang Yan felt that his thoughts were a little wicked, as though he were hoping Huo Yuhao's trio would encounter powerful enemies...

He could not worry about that now!

"Everyone, don't underestimate your opponents! I can't wait any longer. Group Thirty-Three, sixth round, first match: Class One's Huo Yutong Team versus Class Seven's Huang Chutian Team. Begin the assessment!"

"The assessment begins!" Wang Yan could not hide the excitement in his voice. The students all gave him strange looks, but they did not say much. After all, he was the assessment teacher...

"Teacher, we haven't even introduced ourselves yet..." Huo Yuhao said helplessly as he released his martial soul.

"Huo Yutong! I know you. My name is Huang Chutian. The one on the left is Lan Susu, and the one on the right is Lan Luoluo. Please enlighten us."

Huang Chutian had reached the Second Ring at such a young age, so he naturally had some pride. He had heard plenty about the monstrous One-Ring Soul Master from Class One, and his hands had long been itching for a fight. He immediately released his martial soul.

"Wang Qiu'er!" "Wang Dong'er!"

Qiu'er and Dong'er announced their names without waiting for Huo Yuhao to introduce them, then activated their martial souls as well. Their opponents were three Soul Grandmasters, and the twins in the original story even possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. They did not dare be careless and no longer treated this assessment as casually as the previous ones.

The duel began!
