The Assessment Begins

While the senior students were still discussing who to choose as their opponent, a figure slowly walked out of the crowd.

That person was Xu Xingyu. He looked at Xuan Zi and said, "May I choose him as my opponent?"

After speaking, she pointed to a tall, blond senior. The senior chosen by Xu Xingyu was also stunned, not expecting to be on stage so soon.

Aside from Ma Xiaotao, who had a "go for it!" look on her face, the other senior students from the Inner Court looked at Xu Xingyu with strange and pitying expressions. It was clear that the person he had chosen was no pushover.

After receiving instructions from Xuan Zi, the two began preparing for the upcoming exam at a designated location.

The blond-haired senior politely said, "Dai Yueheng, a level 64 Power Attack System Battle Soul Emperor, Martial Soul: Evil Eyes White Tiger."

Upon hearing this, the senior students who were taking the exam with him rushed over in surprise. Had they run into an insurmountable obstacle? Or perhaps the most sturdy one at that!

At this moment, the senior students, their hearts filled with jealousy, looked at Xu Xingyu with smug expressions, wanting to see how regretful she must be.

However, to their surprise, Xu Xingyu's expression was very calm, as if he didn't care at all that the person in front of him was a Soul Emperor. In fact, the fighting spirit in his eyes showed that he was eager to try.

Jiang Nannan, standing to the side, also seemed completely unconcerned about her boyfriend facing a Soul Emperor- level expert, as if she had absolute confidence that her lover could pass the test.

In response, Xu Xingyu politely Dai Yueheng and said, "Xu Xingyu, level 45 Control System Battle Soul Ancestor, Martial Soul: Ziwei Star."

Yes, Xu Xingyu's cultivation level improved significantly during the time she spent at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. This was mainly due to the ahoge (a type of hairy bone) Soul Bone she received from the Thundering Hell Vine.

He unknowingly became fascinated with this lightning-inducing cultivation method, and even went to a small plane filled with lightning power in the Star Soul Pearl to cultivate.

Finally, through his relentless efforts (and being struck by lightning repeatedly), he broke through from a level 41 Soul Ancestor to a level 45 Soul Ancestor.

As for why she only reached level 45, it was purely because Xu Xingyu chose to stabilize her cultivation as a precaution. Rapidly increasing her cultivation level could easily damage her foundation.

Another reason is that rapid growth in cultivation level can easily lead to a loss of complete control over one's power.

It's easy to have no concept of your own strength, and then when you're trying to hold back, you suddenly unleash a basic attack to instantly kill your opponent.

This is why Xu Xingyu chose Dai Yueheng, a Soul Emperor level opponent.

The fastest way to learn how to control your own strength is to find someone with considerable strength to be your punching bag.

He didn't choose the stronger Ma Xiaotao because her fighting style was more focused on ranged attacks using elemental attacks, while he needed a punching bag who could fight hand-to-hand.

According to Xu Xingyu's observation, among these senior students, only Dai Yueheng could act as a punching bag; the others were too weak, only slightly stronger than Dai Huabin who had unleashed the Hell White Tiger.

If the senior students who took the exam with him could hear Xu Xingyu's inner thoughts, they could only say, "I don't understand the world of geniuses!"

Upon hearing the name Xu Xingyu, Dai Yueheng's expression involuntarily became more serious. He had heard a lot about Xu Xingyu from his father and younger brother.

The news he heard from his father was no different from what his younger brother, Dai Huabin, had heard before, except that the news he heard from Dai Huabin was quite shocking to him.

A Soul Elder single-handedly broke through the Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill that the Dai Family and Zhu Family were so proud of!

And now, within a year, this Soul Elder has already advanced to a level 45 Soul Ancestor? Isn't this cultivation speed a bit too fast?

Of course, another thing that shocked Dai Yueheng was that his younger brother, Dai Huabin, had completely submitted to Xu Xingyu.

He knew very well how arrogant his younger brother was; he didn't even take his older brother, whose cultivation far surpassed the other's, seriously.

Whenever he couldn't beat him, he would mutter to himself that once he reached the same age as him, his cultivation would definitely surpass his.

He always gives people the impression that Dai Huabin is the most dazzling guy in the world.

Therefore, Dai Yueheng, as the other's older brother, was always worried about the other's future development. Admittedly, Dai Huabin's talent in cultivation was indeed superior to his own, but his temperament could easily cause him unnecessary trouble.

However, this arrogant and domineering younger brother actually genuinely admired someone and had no intention of seeking revenge! Dai Yueheng truly felt that his younger brother hadn't suffered a beating for nothing.

This is why Dai Yueheng actually felt a bit of gratitude towards Xu Xingyu, and at the same time, he was gratified that their Star Luo Empire could produce such an outstanding Soul Master.

Although he came from the Star Saint Duke's Mansion, which had some conflicts with their White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and established a force that was no less powerful than Shrek Academy, his roots were ultimately in the Star Luo Empire.

Therefore, Dai Yueheng believed that if the Star Luo Empire faced difficulties in the future, Xu Xingyu would definitely help the Star Luo Empire overcome the crisis in her own way.

Based on the rumors circulating about him and the princess of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Yueheng believed that he would absolutely not sit idly by!

However, objectively speaking, this is an exam, so he won't hold back. Of course, judging from the opponent's fighting strength, he doesn't need to hold back either; in fact, he might have to go all out to defeat him.

Thinking of this, Dai Yueheng also released his Martial Soul and Soul Ring to prepare for the upcoming battle. Seeing this, Xu Xingyu also released her Ziwei Star Martial Soul and Soul Ring.

After seeing that both sides were ready, Xuan Zi gave a shout of "Start!" and the battle finally began!

Dai Yueheng immediately used the three transformations that made the White Tiger Martial Soul famous: the first Soul Skill White Tiger Protective Barrier; the third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation; and the fifth Soul Skill, White Tiger Demon God Transformation!

This greatly surprised the senior students from the inner Inner Court, who thought to themselves, "Why is Dai Yueheng going all out from the start? Is he really trying to kill his opponent instantly?"

The so-called transformation skill is a very rare Soul Skill that amplifies oneself. Usually, a Martial Soul can only have one or two of these skills, but the Evil Eyes White Tiger Martial Soul has a total of three.

At this point, Dai Yueheng's combat power had increased to an extremely terrifying level, which made the senior students in the Inner Court even more convinced that Dai Yueheng wanted a quick victory. At the same time, they began to wonder in their letters whether there was some kind of conflict between the two.

Seeing that Dai Yueheng was charging at him Xu Xingyu didn't even try to dodge, but instead charged back at him for a spectacular hand-to-hand fight!
