Yan Shaozhe scoffed.

Since when had a genius from the Martial Soul Department become one of the Soul Tool Department's people? They really had thick skin. They had no shame at all.

Even if he was on bad terms with Jiang Chen, and Xiaotao could be difficult, they could still throw shame to the wind.

Jiang Chen belonged to the Martial Soul Department. That was a fact no one could change.

Even if Jiang Chen wanted to join the Soul Tool Department, would Mu En agree?

The thought cheered Yan Shaozhe even more. "Lin'er, you saw what an Ultimate Martial Soul can do. Jiang Chen only had to use one Soul Skill, and Huang Chutian's team couldn't withstand it. You think I'd hand a genius like that over to your Soul Tool Department? You're dreaming in broad daylight."

"I'm telling you now: if you can poach him for the Soul Tool Department, I won't stand in your way!"

Xian Lin'er gritted her teeth and pointed at Yan Shaozhe's nose. "You said it. I have plenty of ways to win him over. You think our Soul Tool Department doesn't have beauties?"

Yan Shaozhe gave his hips a proud little shake. "Go right ahead!"

Xian Lin'er took a deep breath and swore she would make Yan Shaozhe regret those words.

The Soul Tool Department was going to get Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's Martial Soul was astonishing, even more fearsome than Mu En's had been back then. Give someone like him the strongest Soul Tools, and he could rule the continent and shit on the heads of several emperors.

Then who would dare speak ill of Shrek?

While the two deans waged their silent contest, Ling Luochеn's and Ma Xiaotao's expressions were even more entertaining.

I knew he could do it. And he won so easily... Ling Luochеn relaxed a little. A gentle smile spread across her bright face as she turned to Ma Xiaotao. "Weren't you certain Jiang Chen couldn't win? You really must be blind if you can't even see the difference in their strength."

Ma Xiaotao gritted her teeth. Ling Luochеn's words made her chest ache with anger.

That useless Huang Chutian couldn't even withstand one Soul Skill. He doesn't deserve to be a Shrek student.

But she refused to back down. "What's there to be proud of in beating a few good-for-nothings? Jiang Chen's real opponent is Dai Huabin. He has the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul, which is no weaker than the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul. His ancestors even had the God of War's protection. That Martial Soul belonged to one of the First-Generation Shrek Seven Devils."

Ling Luochеn said nothing.

The God of War Bloodline was powerful, and the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul had indeed produced several formidable figures. Its descendants really did carry the God of War's blood.

But the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul had declined long ago.

The imperial throne had changed hands, and no Limit Douluo had emerged since.

How could a Martial Soul and its descendants like that compare to Jiang Chen, the one she favored?

No matter how she looked at him, Dai Huabin did not seem like a decent person. Ma Xiaotao's judgment was dreadful if she was comparing him to Jiang Chen.

After that, the two women sulked at each other, neither willing to concede.

Ma Xiaotao still looked down on Jiang Chen.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng had already left the arena.

He shot Dai Huabin, who stood not far away, a challenging look. His meaning could not have been clearer.

Come on!

Show off!

Let's see who's stronger, whose fists are harder.

Sometimes boasting wasn't enough. Out here, strength was what counted.

Dai Huabin clenched his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Was Jiang Chen flaunting his victory at me?

The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul was powerful, but his Evil-Eyed White Tiger was no slouch. He could have beaten Huang Chutian and the Lan Sisters just as easily. What was that guy so smug about?

Zhu Lu took his hand and comforted him. "Huabin, we can definitely beat Jiang Chen. We have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill too. Let him enjoy himself for now."

Dai Huabin nodded. "It's almost our turn. I'll show Jiang Chen what happens when someone insults a king!"

At the same time, in Freshman Class One's section of the stands, Huo Yuhao and his two teammates had watched the fight. Each reacted differently.

Little Xiao Xiao's mouth hung open. She was utterly stunned.

So this is how oppressive an Ultimate Attribute feels?

It's too strong!

Jiang Chen had only one Martial Soul, yet his display of power was terrifying. He had defeated his opponents in just a few exchanges, crushing them as though they stood at the foot of a cliff with him towering above.

Xiao Xiao suspected that even using both her Martial Souls at once might not give her an advantage. She might be swept aside like a common foot soldier.

Wang Dong's expression was grave too.

Jiang Chen was the most terrifying person she had seen among the freshmen.

At his age, he already possessed an Ultimate Attribute and a top-tier Martial Soul. Even their senior brother Bei Bei was far behind him.

To defeat Jiang Chen, she and Yuhao would have to seize an opening and unleash Withering in Brilliance, Golden Road.

It was their strongest attack against a single target, powerful enough to defeat a student with four soul rings.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, looked the gravest of all.

Jiang Chen's performance, his Ultimate Ice, the sheer pressure he exerted—it was all too much.

Was he really just an ordinary outer-court student?

Huo Yuhao could not help asking Brother Sky Dream in his Sea of Consciousness what chance their team had against Jiang Chen.

Tian Meng's answer was simple: nine to one.

Jiang Chen had a ninety percent chance. They had ten percent.

That slim chance depended on finding an opening, exploiting a weakness, and defeating Jiang Chen with one final strike. Otherwise, Jiang Chen would sweep them aside as if he were farming experience.

A genius like that was terrifying. Even Tian Meng was afraid.

Huo Yuhao drew a deep breath. "No matter how strong my opponent is, I'll defeat him. I have faith in myself and my strength. No one will stop me from taking revenge."

"I'll have my revenge. I'll destroy the White Tiger Duke's Mansion at any cost and make that man kneel before my mother and repent."

Tian Meng gave him a thumbs-up. "That's the spirit. I'm behind you. Hold on to that desire for revenge and become truly strong."

"Even if you lose to Jiang Chen this time, keep that fire alive. Sooner or later, you'll beat him."

Huo Yuhao clenched his fists. "I will. I'll never let go of the resolve that drove me to seek revenge. It hasn't changed since the moment I took the name Huo Yuhao, and it never will."

Wang Dong held out her hand. "Let's do this together."

"Me too!" Xiao Xiao held out her hand as well.

Huo Yuhao reached out without hesitation and clasped his teammates' hands. "We'll give it everything we've got! Together!"

Over the next few days, the Freshman Assessment continued steadily, with every competing class fighting tooth and nail.

Jiang Chen's legend was far from over.

He defeated his opponents easily in the first match, then the second, third, and fourth. Every fight was a crushing victory that left the students and senior teachers shaken and under pressure.

His Martial Soul's power and the pressure he exerted seemed to have no limit. He finished each match in two or three exchanges without facing any real challenge.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng seemed more like a backdrop for Jiang Chen, carried to victory every time.

Through several days of fighting, Jiang Chen showed everyone what it meant to be the strongest freshman. He won over the top student from every section through sheer strength and became the undisputed strongest Phoenix Soul Master, fighting his way into the semifinals.

The two deans, Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er, even argued over who would recruit him.

That afternoon, Jiang Chen returned to the assessment arena.

Today was the Freshman Assessment semifinals. A win would put him in the finals ahead of the other teams, where he would face the last team standing for the championship.

As expected, today's opponent was Dai Huabin's team, which had fought its way here too.

Jiang Chen did not take this opponent seriously.

Even if Dai Huabin had four soul rings, Jiang Chen did not care. Dai Huabin was only a spoiled rich kid, not a Child of Fortune and Concept God like Huo Yuhao.

However strong the Hell White Tiger was, could it compare to Huo Yuhao, a Concept God whose Soul Skill defied reason?

With that thought, Jiang Chen led Ning Tian and Wu Feng into the assessment arena.
