"What's going on? Did I just see Ye Chen defeat Dai Huabin and the other two by himself? Am I seeing things?"

"No way! How is that possible? Is he really a control-type Soul Master?"

"Could he have some unknown trump card?"

"That's not right. Is Ye Chen an assault-type or a control-type Soul Master? How can a control-type be this strong?"

"That's right! I saw him trade attacks with Dai Huabin just now!"

"Isn't that against the rules? Wouldn't that give their team two assault-types?"

All kinds of voices rose from the spectators' stands.

Even Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo on the raised platform were too stunned to speak.

"Shaozhe, do you think this Ye Chen has Twin Martial Souls?" Qian Duoduo guessed.

"That's very possible." Yan Shaozhe nodded, then suddenly realized something. "Old Qian, didn't you say you weren't after my core disciples? Let me tell you, Ye Chen is definitely a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department."

Qian Duoduo looked at Yan Shaozhe with utter disdain. "When has Old Qian ever gone back on his word? Don't worry, I definitely won't set my sights on Ye Chen."

Qian Duoduo declared solemnly, then added in his heart, Of course, if he comes to me for resources, then forget I said anything.

Obviously, everyone present knew exactly what kind of person Qian Duoduo was. Naturally, no one took his solemn promise seriously.

Compared to that, they were more curious about the abilities Ye Chen had hidden.

"Based on my many years of teaching experience, I think it's very likely that he has Twin Martial Souls, and that his second Martial Soul is a top-tier assault-type Martial Soul." Yan Shaozhe gave his opinion.

The others nodded in agreement.

If Ye Chen had heard that—

Ye Chen: What does it mean to get the entire process wrong but the final answer right? I'd finally seen it.

They could even guess that I have Twin Martial Souls?

Were you people cheating?

"Then, Dean, what about this match?" Du Weilun looked at Yan Shaozhe.

If Ye Chen truly had Twin Martial Souls, and his other Martial Soul was assault-type, then they had violated the rules. By the rules, they should have been disqualified.

"Ye Chen's team wins." Yan Shaozhe answered without hesitation.

"Then how should I explain the rules of the match?" Compared to Yan Shaozhe, Du Weilun was far more rigid in following the rules.

"Sometimes, rules must make way for geniuses." Yan Shaozhe looked at Du Weilun and spoke calmly.

"Understood, Dean." Du Weilun nodded and then headed onto the competition stage.

At the same time, as Du Weilun walked over to Ye Chen, the entire venue fell silent.

"I hereby announce," Du Weilun slowly began, and every gaze in the arena immediately focused on him.

"Ye Chen, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao are victorious!"

As Du Weilun's words fell, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue.

The students of Class One in particular were genuinely happy for Ye Chen and the others.

Because Ye Chen did not only represent them—he represented Class One as well!

Ever since the first day of school, Ye Chen had been the spiritual pillar of Class One!

Of course, not everyone was happy for Ye Chen. Huo Yuhao, for instance, was not.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao was at the point where he would have been unhappy no matter who won.

But compared to Dai Huabin, he still hoped Ye Chen would win more.

At that moment, Bei Bei and Tang Ya were standing beside Huo Yuhao.

"Bei Bei, Ye Chen's talent is so high! If we'd known, we should have been more forceful and pulled him into the Tang Sect back then!"

Tang Ya said with some regret.

She had also noticed that Ye Chen seemed to hold tremendous prestige in his class.

If they could lure Ye Chen into the Tang Sect, wouldn't that mean they could lure in a whole bunch of Shrek Academy freshmen too?

Shrek Academy students were different from students at other academies.

Every single Shrek Academy student was a freakishly talented genius.

She had worked so hard to stay at Shrek Academy precisely so she could recruit more geniuses for the Tang Sect.

"Xiao Ya, Ye Chen clearly said back then that he wouldn't join the Tang Sect. I think we should just let it go." Bei Bei thought for a moment before speaking.

"No, Bei Bei. I'm set on getting Ye Chen! He has to join our Tang Sect." Tang Ya's eyes were resolute.

"Alright." Seeing this, Bei Bei said nothing more.

"Ye Chen again, Ye Chen again... Why does even Sister Xiao Ya have to revolve around Ye Chen?" The hatred Huo Yuhao felt toward Ye Chen deepened once more.

At that very moment, Tang Ya suddenly thought of something and asked Huo Yuhao beside her.

"Yuhao, I remember you and Ye Chen are in different classes, right? Why don't you try persuading him? See whether Ye Chen will join our Tang Sect."

"I..." Looking at Tang Ya's expectant gaze, Huo Yuhao nodded with difficulty and replied.

"Sister Xiao Ya, I'll give it a try."

"Alright!" Tang Ya was overjoyed. "Come on, Yuhao. This time, I want to eat four grilled fish!"

"Xiao Ya, eat a little less." Bei Bei said dotingly from the side.

Yet just as Tang Ya and Bei Bei turned around, an almost imperceptible trace of hatred flashed through Huo Yuhao's eyes.

And this hatred was something he had previously only felt toward Dai Huabin and Dai Hao...

Meanwhile, on the competition stage, after Du Weilun announced the result—

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao immediately rushed excitedly toward Ye Chen.

Xiao Xiao in particular was so happy that she threw herself directly into Ye Chen's arms.

This batch of freshmen was the most outstanding one in recent years.

For the sake of this match, she had originally planned to reveal her Twin Martial Souls.

She had even planned to add the first Soul Ring to her other Martial Soul, the Nine Phoenix Welcoming Flute.

Yet Ye Chen had forcibly stopped her from doing so.

Wang Dong stared dumbfoundedly at Ye Chen holding Xiao Xiao, feeling utterly miserable inside.

"Ye Chen! I really ought to give you a good shock!" Wang Dong roared angrily in her heart.

Xiao Xiao also noticed the unnatural look on Wang Dong's face and instinctively pulled herself out of Ye Chen's embrace.

"Cough, cough... Um, Wang Dong, sorry about that." Xiao Xiao said awkwardly.

"???" Wang Dong replied haughtily, "What's there to be sorry about?"

Xiao Xiao: "???"

From her perspective, Wang Dong and Ye Chen did not look like they had nothing going on between them.

What was more, the two even shared the same dorm room!

The results of the Freshman Assessment quickly spread throughout the academy.

And with this battle, Ye Chen had thoroughly established his footing in the academy.

Some students even said that Ye Chen's strength might already surpass that of their upperclassmen!

After all, even a four-ring upperclassman would not have defeated the Hell White Tiger so easily, right?

Meanwhile, neither Wang Dong nor Ye Chen slept after returning to their dorm room.

Wang Dong's mind was filled with the image of Xiao Xiao throwing herself at Ye Chen, and an indescribable sourness welled up in her heart.

"Should I let him know who I really am?" Wang Dong hesitated internally, wondering whether she should tell Ye Chen that she was actually a girl.

Ye Chen was not asleep either, because the Creation God Test he had chosen earlier had finally reacted.

A voice suddenly sounded in Ye Chen's mind.

Creation God First Test: Obtain the Ice Empress Soul Spirit. Reward: God-Bestowed Soul Ring.
