Perhaps because most of the students had never experienced such a situation before, the students on the stage were at a loss for what to do, and stood there dumbfounded for a moment. "Indecisive, you are all really flowers in a greenhouse. Then let me teach you the first lesson: the weak should obey the rules set by the strong."
Jun Yi's incredibly Haki words, like a demon from hell, deeply pierced the hearts of all the contestants on the stage. Which of these students who had made it this far hadn't been hailed as "geniuses" since childhood? Their ambitions were sky-high, and they believed their future was limitless. Therefore, most of them were extremely arrogant. Take, for example, the fact that ordinary students from the Spirit Hall Academy looked down on visiting students; this was enough to illustrate that they subconsciously believed the weak should submit to the strong. And today, Jun Yi was going to teach them a lesson and clearly explain this principle to them.
Jun Yi's behavior, which defied their logic, instilled immense fear in them. In an instant, many students no longer hesitated and launched their attacks, eager to regain their lost face in front of Jun Yi.
However, facing the onslaught of so many students, Jun Yi's lips curled into a slight smile, a playful glint in his eyes. "Did you think I was just talking casually?" With that, his figure moved like Gui Mei among the crowd, impossible to defend against, his attacks unpredictable. In the blink of an eye, several students were severely injured, collapsing unconscious on the stage.
Jun Yi's attacks were ruthless; every move was enough to injure the students. Even when several students used their second Soul Skill to gang up on him, they were all defeated, utterly powerless to resist. The students who had fainted and lost their fighting ability were taken off the stage by the teacher, and their defeat was declared. "What are you still hesitating about? Are you scared? If you are, do as I say. You fight, and the winner will have a chance to get third place. Otherwise, I'll knock you all off the stage, and then you won't even get a reward." Looking at the group of students who had fallen into despair, Jun Yi said with a mocking expression.
Several students with weaker mental fortitude felt immense fear when facing Jun Yi, their psychological defenses crumbled, and they chose to concede and flee the arena. This is understandable, given that they were all only 12 years old at most, and it's normal for them to be inexperienced.
The remaining students on the arena took a deep breath, exchanged glances, and ultimately decided not to provoke Jun Yi any further. This world is different from Blue Star; victory and defeat are determined by Soul Skill and Soul Power. In this world, only the strong can earn respect, and the law of the jungle is its eternal rule.
Jun Yi understood this principle as well, so he displayed his formidable strength, overwhelming these arrogant "geniuses" with his invincible power. With his hands behind his back, Jun Yi calmly looked at the students below the arena, his cold and proud gaze captivating many girls.
Seeing that the others' Soul Fighting had already begun, Jun Yi Jun Yi walked back to the edge of the arena, came to Zhu Zhuqing's side, and resumed his usual somewhat unserious demeanor.
" Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing, wasn't I handsome just now?" Jun Yi asked Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.
" Big Brother Jun, you really scared me just now. I've never seen Big Brother Jun like that before."
Zhu Zhuqing blinked gently, looking intently at Jun Yi, because Jun Yi's appearance was indeed completely different from his usual demeanor.
In her daily life, Jun Yi gave her the impression of being a caring, gentle, and occasionally childish older brother. Zhu Zhuqing never expected that Jun Yi would also have such an arrogant and Haki side.
"Just tell me if he's handsome or not, that's all."
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment before giving a reply, "Hmm~ It's quite unique."
Jun Yi smiled after hearing the reply and then remained silent. The reason he displayed such arrogance was indeed to attract Bibi Dong's attention and to establish his authority within the Spirit Hall Academy, letting people know that he, Jun Yi, was not someone to be trifled with.
After the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, apart from Jun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing, only four Soul Master remained standing on the arena; these four were the final victors.
They were all disheveled, covered in wounds, with hardly a single unscathed spot on their bodies, and their Soul Power was almost depleted.
Jun Yi walked slowly to the group, looked at the four panting students, and said with a smile, "It's very good that you four made it to the end. Now it's time for you to choose. Do you choose to fight me, or step down from the stage yourselves?"
The four students stared at Jun Yi's faint smile, a smile that seemed like that of a demon. They were a team, cooperating with each other to reach the end, but they knew that even at their strongest, they were no match for Jun Yi.
Moreover, they are now covered in wounds and have very little fighting power left.
We choose to concede defeat.
One of the leading students was the first to concede defeat, and his ranking was now fixed at sixth place.
Seeing this, the other students also conceded defeat, leaving only Jun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing on the stage.
I surrender.
Zhu Zhuqing also raised her left hand and declared to the referee.
In the end, only Jun Yi remained on the huge arena, signifying that he had won first place in this entrance ceremony.
A teacher stepped onto the stage and announced to everyone, "I hereby declare that the champion of this entrance ceremony is Jun Yi, a visiting student from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
"Now, please welcome the Pope to present the awards."
Upon hearing that the Pope would personally present the award, Jun Yi's gaze shifted to the Pope, who was sitting in the very center of the judging panel. He saw Bibi Dong slowly stand up, with a faint smile, and walk down from the high platform as if there were invisible steps.
Bibi Dong walked step by step to the edge of the arena, and under the gaze of all the students, she stood beside Jun Yi. "Welcome to the Spirit Hall Academy. In the future, I hope to see you shine brightly on the Douluo Continent. You will be a legend."
"Thank you for your praise, Your His Holiness the Pope." Jun Yi bowed respectfully. "In return, I will do my utmost to serve Your His Holiness the Pope."
Bibi Dong smiled gently, glanced at Jun Yi, and continued, "I believe you. I look forward to that day, and I hope you won't disappoint me then."
Then Bibi Dong transmitted her voice, speaking in a tone only Jun Yi could hear, " Jun Yi, you have successfully caught my attention. Have you considered joining the Spirit Hall?"
"Our Spirit Hall can also provide you with materials for forging Soul Tool..."
