Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 24 Semifinals

The next morning, the assessment area for the top four to two was much quieter than yesterday.

Of course, the only people who came to watch were teachers, and the students still had to continue their classes. However, the slovenly old man who appeared on the podium yesterday did not reappear.

All twelve freshmen who entered the semi-finals stood together, and the person in charge of drawing lots today was no longer Du Weilun, the teaching director of the martial arts department of the outer college.

An old man in white took his place.

"Hello, young people. I am Yan Shaozhe, the 261st president of Shrek Academy," the old man in white said with a smile. He had a very gentle temperament, giving people the impression that he was just an ordinary old man.

The dean of Shrek Academy must be a super Douluo-level expert! He is the true top existence in the Douluo Continent.

None of the freshmen expected the dean to appear here in person.

"I know you are curious about why I am here. Yes, generally speaking, even if the freshman assessment reaches the final stage, having a vice president come forward is enough to show that the college values ​​you. But I have to say, I am very satisfied with the performance of your freshmen. It is also the most talented freshmen in the past century. I am very interested in you, so I am here. And I will watch all your games today. . I hope you can let me see the surprise. Okay, let the drawing begin."

The dean naturally could not preside over the drawing of lots himself, so Du Weilun hurriedly took over the task of drawing lots, but Dean Yan said that he would personally hold the lottery boxes for the freshmen.

Du Weilun understood and stepped forward, shouting, "Freshman Class Nine, Team Wu Xuan, come forward and draw lots."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan strode onto the competition stage with his head held high.

"Young man, I hope that you and your team can demonstrate your true strength in today's assessment." Yan Shaozhe said with a smile.

After Wu Xuan drew a lot, he bowed to Yan Shaozhe, then handed the lot to Du Weilun and walked away.

At this time, Du Weilun's voice sounded again.

"Freshman Class Nine, Wu Xuan Team, sign number one."

Number one means that in the semifinals, they will play in the first court. There are only four numbers in that box, two ones and two twos.

"Cao Jinxuan's team from Class 10, please come forward and draw lots."

After some encouragement, Du Weilun announced his signing number.

"Freshman Class 10, Cao Jinxuan's team, sign in number one!"

The competition system for these four teams is now clear.

The draw is over, fighting arena number one!

Opposite Wu Xuan were three heroic male students, three great soul masters with strange martial spirits.

"Both parties have announced their names. Get ready for the competition." The invigilator said in a deep voice.

"Freshman Class 10, Zhou Sichen, a master of the assault system."

"New student Class 10, Long Xiangyue, master of agility and attack system."

"Freshman Class 10, Cao Jinxuan, master of the control system."

Their powerful voices revealed their confidence. Regardless of whether they could win or not, they still had to maintain their momentum.

On the other side, Wu Xuan and the other two also exchanged names.

"New student class nine, Wu Xuan, control-type combat soul master."

"New student of Class Nine, Qian Guming, a master of the offensive spirit."

"Freshman Class Nine, Nanmen Yuner, Agility Attack Spirit Master."

Zhou Sichen couldn't help but mutter to Cao Jinxuan beside him, "Jinxuan, what luck you have! You just happened to be drawn into the strongest team among the three teams."

"That's right! The speed boost that Wu Xuan gave to the other two people made me, a spirit master of the agility attack type, retire right on the spot. How can I fight?" Long Xiangyuehe came over and muttered.

Yesterday afternoon, the pressure from Wu Xuan and the other two was too strong. Huo Yuhao and the other two were completely crushed.

Cao Jinxuan rolled his eyes at the two of them in annoyance. "It's no use blaming me. Now we have no choice but to fight. I'll reduce their speed increase, and from then on, it's up to you."

"Fight it! Fight it!"

The three of them looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

"The game begins!" the referee shouted.

"Second soul skill, light and spiritual wind!"

The purple second soul ring around Wu Xuan instantly lit up. With the attachment of wisps of breeze, Qiangu Ming and Nanmen Yuner's speed increased dramatically and they rushed straight towards the three people.

The opposing spirit master, Long Xiangyue, agile attack spirit master, didn't charge forward, but instead quickly dodged behind the powerful attack spirit master Zhou Sichen. The control spirit master Cao Jinxuan did the same. The three of them maintained a straight line.

Their unique martial spirits also appeared at the same time.

Zhou Sichen, a master of the Assault Department, saw a white light surge in his hand, and unexpectedly, a book appeared. His two hundred-year spirit rings shone simultaneously, and the pages of the book flipped open, with two beams of light shooting out one after another. They froze in front of him.

This is Zhou Sichen's special weapon martial soul, a treasure book.

Generally speaking, book-based martial spirits are mostly useless and rarely have any value in cultivation. However, Zhou Sichen is an exception. His treasured martial spirit has given him an innate seventh-level soul power.

When his soul power reaches a bottleneck, he can directly absorb the soul rings of slain soul beasts and transform them into his own abilities. His greatest characteristic is that he has no attribute restrictions; he can absorb and use any soul beast's abilities. This means he could be using an ice soul skill one moment and a fire soul skill the next. This is a truly unique weapon spirit.

At this moment, the two soul skills he released transformed into a giant bear with a yellow glow all over its body and a tiger with flames rising from its body.

After obtaining the Treasure Martial Soul, Zhou Sichen set himself the goal of becoming a powerful attack-type spirit master. Therefore, while he could choose any spirit beast to attach spirit rings to, for his own dream of a powerful attack-type spirit, he naturally focused on powerful attack-type spirit skills. The bear and tiger quickly blocked the three of them, roaring at Qian Guming and Nanmen Yuner.

"First Soul Skill, Boiling Flames!"

Qiangu Ming shouted loudly and smashed the giant bear on the head with the flaming stick.

"First Soul Skill, Jade Blade!"

Nammen Yoona's hands turned into jade-colored wind blades, and she stabbed sideways into the belly of the flaming tiger.

At this moment, an exquisite bell quietly rose above Cao Jinxuan's head.

The entire clock is in the shape of a city gate, with a circle at the top and a circle at the bottom. The white bell body is about half a meter high. The dial inside is round, and there is a pendulum engraved with golden patterns underneath that is shaking slightly. After the clock appeared, Cao Jinxuan's two hundred-year-old soul rings seemed to regard it as a part of Cao Jinxuan's body, including it when it moved up and down.

"Second soul skill, Inch of Time!"

A strange wave spread out from the clock above Cao Jinxuan's head. Qiangu Ming and Nanmen Yuner's first soul skills, as well as the speed increase from Wu Xuan, ended within a few seconds under this wave.

"What?" The amplification of Qiangu Ming and Nanmen Yuner's soul skills disappeared, and they were instantly suppressed and retreated by the desperate counterattack of the giant bear and tiger.

Zhou Sichen's treasured martial arts spirit is already rare, and Cao Jinxuan's clocklike martial spirit is even rarer. His martial spirit is called Time flies, and its rarity among weapon martial spirits is no less than that of the Bright Goddess Butterfly owned by Wang Dong among beast martial spirits.

The two retreated, and Long Xiangyue, a Spirit Master of the Agility Attack type, naturally wouldn't let them have their way. As his spirit unleashed, a massive boomerang appeared in his hand. Just one side of his boomerang was over a foot long, and in the hands of Long Xiangyue, who was not even twelve years old, it seemed quite unbalanced.

After the boomerang appeared in his hand, he paused slightly, half turned his body backward, then turned back suddenly and threw the boomerang out. At the moment of the move, both of his soul rings lit up.

"Third soul skill, Jade Wind!"

"Congeal!"

A jade-colored breeze gathered, and Wu Xuan clenched his hands lightly, and two short spears shining with jade luster appeared in his hands.

As Wu Xuan suddenly threw the spear, the giant bears and tigers that were chasing him were directly hit by the spear and pierced through to death.

"Second soul skill, Green Blade Slash!"

Nanmen Yoona stopped, her yellow hundred-year soul ring flashed, and as the boomerang flew towards her, her hands were already clasped together above her head, and the emerald green light condensed into a crescent-shaped light blade above her head, slashing straight towards the boomerang.

"Bang!" The moon-shaped light blade shattered and the boomerang turned back.

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly, and the two yellow soul rings in the treasure book in his hand flashed one after another. A bear and a tiger roared out and rushed towards Wu Xuan and the other two.

Wu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Since you can't kill it, then just stay where you are!"

"Snapped!"

Wu Xuan clasped his hands together, and the jade-colored wind solidified instantly. In a few breaths, it covered the bodies of a bear and a tiger, turning them into two angular jade crystals.

"Crowd control?!" A group of teachers from the external colleges in the stands exclaimed.

Group control is a skill that many control-type soul masters find difficult to possess at level 50.

"First soul skill, gathering spirit wind!"

A gentle breeze blew, and the sky suddenly became bright. Nammun and Yoona's aura surged, and they launched a counterattack.

"Second soul skill, red flame attack!"

Qiangu Ming jumped forward and threw the blazing flaming stick directly towards Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan.

Although the Treasure Spirit was powerful and its skills were not restricted by attributes, it did have a significant drawback: each skill could only be used once. For example, the Earth Bear he summoned with his first skill could only exist once at a time, and could not be summoned endlessly. Only after the summoned one died could it be released again.

At this time, the two light and shadows summoned by Zhou Sichen were trapped by Wu Xuan and had no other means.

Cao Jinxuan had previously accelerated the running time of his soul skill, which directly broke Wu Xuan's speed increase, as well as Qiangu Ming and Nanmen Yuner's first soul skill increase. At this time, his soul power was too much consumed and he was already at the end of his strength.

The Red Flame Stick approached, and the referee took decisive action, pulling the two out of Qiangu Ming's attack range.

Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen were eliminated.

Nanmen Yoona turned into a green afterimage and leaped towards Long Xiang.

There was already a gap between the two of them, and with the boost from Wu Xuan's first soul skill, Long Xiangyue was quickly put at a disadvantage.

"Second soul skill, Green Blade Slash!"

Nanmen Yuner seized the opportunity, clasped her hands together above her head, and the emerald green light condensed into a crescent-shaped light blade above her head, slashing straight towards Long Xiangyue.

Agility attack type soul masters have always been known for their speed and attack power. The power of this attack can be imagined. The emerald green light blade drew a graceful arc in the air.

Her attack has a locking effect and cannot be dodged at all.

The referee intervened again and saved Long Xiangyue.

"The game is over, Wu Xuan's team wins!" The invigilator announced the result directly after rescuing Long Xiangyue.

The teachers in the spectator booths looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Wu Xuan's abilities were truly comprehensive. Amplification, control, and attack—every aspect of his abilities was impeccable!

On the other side, Dai Huabin, who had defeated his opponent on the fighting arena, couldn't help but fall into self-doubt. Could his tiger claws block the short spear thrown by Wu Xuan with all his strength?
