Ten-thousand-year soul beast

"Wait... are you really Soul Elder now?"

Ning Cong vomited for a long time before realizing something was wrong. The speed at which Lu Cheng had carried him through the air earlier was still making his legs numb, which was definitely not the level Soul Elder should be at.

"Class 2-1, Xue Ling'er!"

Du Weilun's deep voice rang out from the referee's stand.

This interrupted their conversation.

"Yes!"

The girl following closely behind Ning Cong nodded slightly. Her seemingly slender and petite figure carried a sense of solemnity and composure as she headed towards the center of the arena.

"Ling'er, go for it!!" Ning Cong cheered.

The Great Beast Dueling Arena covers an area of several square kilometers, and the training ground is nearly a thousand meters in diameter, covered with grass, making it as vast and boundless as a grassland.

Originally, it was supposed to be Ning Cong, the class monitor of Class 1, who went on stage, but because Support System and had no strength, he was skipped and Xue Ling'er was chosen instead.

To be on the safe side, she chose a five-hundred-year-old Soul Beast.

Relying on the unique and abnormal defense of the Martial Soul Mutation Earth Dragon Martial Soul, they managed to drag the Soul Beast until it was exhausted and collapsed on the ground. The score was naturally mediocre, 110 points.

Soon, many students took to the field to participate in the assessment. Some were eliminated because their chosen Soul Beast were too young, resulting in low scores. Others were nearly killed by Soul Beast but were eliminated after being rescued by their teachers.

Most students passed the assessment, which was much easier than the assessment for new students.

"The last one... Lu Cheng!"

Even Du Weilun gritted his teeth at these words. He had been on tenterhooks these past few days, fearing that this guy would drop out of school. After all, taking a six-month leave without a word would make anyone think...

"Where's Lu Cheng? Lu Cheng?"

Du Weilun's mood worsened. Seeing that the guy was still not coming down, he thought that he hadn't even come to participate in the assessment.

He looked around and saw only an exceptionally handsome young man walking towards him, but Lu Cheng was still nowhere to be seen.

"Director Du, I'm here." The incredibly handsome young man who had appeared beside him at some point spoke helplessly.

Du Weilun: "..."

"Are you Lu Cheng?"

"Yes." Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

"..." Du Weilun's pupils suddenly contracted. Unlike other teachers, he was the Martial Soul Department, so he naturally had some skills and knew some of the secrets of the Martial Soul Body Martial Soul.

"Your Blood Pupils Second Awakening?" he asked, his voice trembling.

"Not bad..." Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

He didn't try to hide anything.

Although your appearance can be disguised by a disguise technique, it can be seen through at a glance by top experts like Mu En and Xuan Zi. The disguise only confirms your guilty conscience and shows your "rejection" and "distrust" of the Shrek Academy. You might even have malicious intentions towards me.

After all, he didn't want to go through what happened in the Simulation Device again.

"Okay, okay..." Du Weilun's face flushed red, and his previous anger vanished.

Such a genius is truly a blessing upon the Shrek Academy.

"Let's begin the assessment." Du Weilun smiled.

"How many years of Soul Beast will you choose?"

"A thousand years."

Lu Cheng said softly.

"Take the young master?!" Du Weilun had just turned around to instruct the assistant referee, suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Cheng in astonishment.

All around was silent.

"Ten thousand years." Lu Cheng smiled. "Doesn't the Great Beast Dueling Arena have Soul Beast of this level?"

"Are you sure?" Du Weilun frowned slightly.

"Confirmed!" Lu Cheng nodded seriously.

"Then let's send out a ten-thousand-year-old Blazing Fire Rhinoceros." Du Weilun narrowed his eyes and waved to the assistant referee beside him.

"This..." The assistant referee hesitated.

"Go quickly! Find Elder Gong and tell him what I said..." Du Weilun's eyes widened. This was a perfect opportunity to test Lu Cheng's strength and capabilities. Anyway, with Dean Yan there, Lu Cheng would surely survive. Encountering Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would surely force this kid to reveal all his secrets, right?

"Yes!"

On the referee's bench.

Yan Shaozhe's figure slowly appeared. He had been contacted by Du Weilun through Communication Soul Tool. He looked at the tall and slender young man below with a complicated expression.

"It actually Second Awakening."

"I heard that kid and Xiaotao are getting quite close. It seems like there's something going on. In that case, let's use Xiaotao to keep him tied down and slowly cultivate his feelings for the academy..." Yan Shaozhe's eyes narrowed slightly.

"But if he is disloyal to Shrek Academy, hmph, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"..."

In the stands.

Second shift rest area.

"The champion of this assessment will undoubtedly be Linglong."

"Thousand-Year Soul Beast, one of a kind! Only Soul Elder would dare to attempt it. Currently, in the entire second year, only Linglong Dragon is a Soul Elder."

"That battle scene... was indeed dashing and cool. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon truly deserves to be called the number one Beast Martial Soul on the continent..."

Many students looked at the boy sitting in the center of Class Two with either burning eyes or envy. The latter had long light blue hair and blue eyes. Although the flattery made him a little impatient, the corners of his mouth still turned up slightly.

In youth, it's best to compete and prove oneself superior.

It was also the time when he was most spirited and vigorous.

"It's a shame I haven't seen that guy for half a year. I wonder where he's hidden away..." Yu Linglong frowned slightly and casually glanced at the audience. Was that handsome young man, whom he even envied, a transfer student? How come he had never seen him before?

Ever since he was defeated by Lu Cheng in the freshman assessment, that guy seemed to have become his inner demon. His indomitable spirit was thwarted, and he later desperately cultivated and tried to find Lu Cheng in Class One several times, but was always told to ask for leave.

"That guy is all show and no substance. I even suspect he took drugs before the competition. He's been avoiding Linglong all these years because he knows he's no match for him and is afraid his legend will be shattered, so..." A male student next to him sneered.

"Exactly, otherwise why would the academy only give such a meager reward? It's less than a tenth of what the champion received in previous years. Director Du must have had a discerning eye and saw through his little trick long ago, but he was magnanimous enough not to expose him."

"Hmph, maybe..." Yu Linglong snorted coldly, which could be considered an excuse for his defeat back then.

After all, only he himself knew the feeling of powerlessness he felt when facing that guy.

"Ooh~!"

As the metal gate in the distance slowly opened, a giant rhinoceros, nearly fifty meters long and about thirty meters high, with muscles bulging like small mountains and its entire body radiating a crimson red color and burning hot like flames, slowly appeared before everyone.

Only at this moment did countless second-year students truly realize what Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast meant.

This was completely different from the Hundred-Year Soul Beast they fought. The sheer pressure alone was enough to make a Soul Grandmaster or even Soul Elder faint.

"He's gone mad?!" Yu Linglong's face turned pale as he stared at the scene before him.

Many students unconsciously clenched their fists.

Even Du Weilun hesitated, having prepared for a rescue...

The incredibly handsome young man remained standing quietly in place, gazing up at the giant rhinoceros in the distance, his figure unmoved.
