Douluo: The Thousand-Faced Angel in the Dragon King

Chapter 77 The Third-Year Challenge Begins

The exchange between Class 1 of Grade 1 and Class 1 of Grade 2 was comprehensive, starting with secondary skills: forging, designing, making, and repairing. Only then did they move on to actual combat.

There's not much to say about this exchange; the top spot in the four secondary professions was practically a foregone conclusion, and the second-year team led by Yuan En Ye Hui emerged victorious in the five-on-five match.

Yuan Enhui, with a piece of battle armor on each hand, shattered the void with each punch, almost unstoppable. Le Zhengyu's Holy Angel Martial Soul also displayed its might, showing terrifying explosive power with the help of the ring fusion technique, clearing the field with a single sword strike.

Although Tang Wulin performed exceptionally well, the difference in soul power was too great, and he did not possess the Divine Dragon Transformation, ultimately leading to his defeat. However, he was still honorable in defeat, having displayed his own unique style.

After Yali healed the students, she said to Qianmo and Guyuena, "Two days later, you will fight against the third-year students."

"Understood!" Qianmo and Gu Yuena said in unison.

Class 1, Grade 3, classroom.

"Class monitor, the academy's arrangement is clearly meant to spur us on! These first-year students want to challenge us? They've just entered the academy, they're really overestimating themselves." A tall, somewhat sleazy-looking young man crossed his legs and said to the young man next to him.

The sleazy young man's name is Ye Wu, an agility-type battle spirit master. He excels in various high-speed combat techniques, and has completed 70% of his One-Word Battle Armor. At seventeen years old, he has a good chance of completing the full set of One-Word Battle Armor and becoming an inner court disciple before the age of twenty. He is a core member of Class 1, Grade 3.

The young man he called class monitor was tall and had a simple, unrefined appearance. He wasn't exactly handsome, but he had an imposing presence that was as firm as a mountain.

Li Qiankun, the class monitor of Class 1, Grade 3, is also one of the two One-Word Battle Armor Masters in Class 1. He is eighteen years old this year and a Level 52 Defense-type Battle Soul Master. His Martial Soul is also very unique, named the Qiankun Ball, a very rare mutated weapon Martial Soul.

"I'm also curious about this, so I specifically inquired about some information about the first-year challengers," Li Qiankun said with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Oh, is there some secret about the first-year students?" a clear voice rang out.

A young girl walked over, with long black hair flowing down her back. She was of medium build and had a sweet face, but her eyes were filled with coldness. She walked straight to Li Qiankun and sat down next to him.

Mo Jue, the vice class monitor of Class 1, Grade 3, is another one-word battle armor master with a soul power of level 51. In the class, her prestige is even higher than Li Qiankun's. She is assertive but protective of her own, and almost all the students in the class have benefited from her. She has a straightforward and assertive personality.

Li Qiankun nodded. "There are only two people challenging us this time, a man and a woman. These two are not simple. Their soul power has reached level 40 or above. One of them is a twin martial soul master, and the other has several pieces of battle armor made of spirit alloy."

"Most importantly, the reason they were able to qualify to challenge us is because they defeated the opposing team by taking on five opponents in a first-year class war."

"He won against five opponents at once. No wonder I heard that this new batch of students is extraordinary and can be called the best batch in a hundred years," Mo Jue said.

"Could that threaten a One-Word Battle Armor Master?" Mo Jue asked.

Li Qiankun shook his head. "I don't know. Nobody knows the limits of those two's strength. Especially that boy. It's said that he practically crushed five members of the list of young geniuses, one of whom was even in the top ten."

"A member of the Young Genius Ranking? Wow, this junior is something else!" Ye Wu exclaimed in surprise.

Mo Jue frowned and asked again, "If there are only two people, what format will the battle be? A two-person battle or two singles matches?"

"Two singles matches, and the academy wants both of us to participate this time," Li Qiankun said.

Ye Wu said nonchalantly, "No need. There's no need to attack the class monitor and Sister Mo. Wu Rui and I are enough."

Mo Jue thought for a moment before saying, "Class monitor, what do you think?"

Li Qiankun said in a deep voice, "We've studied at Shrek Academy for two semesters, and we all know very well that the academy wouldn't make a fuss without reason. The academy specifically instructed the two of us to participate, so I think it's fine for us to go."

Mo Jue nodded in agreement. "Sure, I'll play in the first match, how about that?"

"Alright, then Mo Jue, you can help me test the mettle of this batch of kids first," Li Qiankun said with a smile.

The day of the competition has finally arrived, with two first-year students from Shrek Academy's outer academy challenging third-year students.

The strength of the third-year students is obvious to all. How long has it been since the first-year students enrolled, yet they have already challenged the third-year students, and it's only two of them. What's so special about these two?

It was rare to have such a lively competition. The sparring arena was already packed with students and teachers from the School of Foreign Languages, even though it was just past lunchtime.

There were only two matches in this competition, with four students participating, but the academy attached unprecedented importance to it.

On the stage, Cai Meier, the dean of the School of Foreign Languages, had arrived early, and Ya Li, the Holy Spirit Douluo, was also present, along with a group of teachers from the School of Foreign Languages.

Even inside the Sea God Pavilion, Yun Ming sat behind his desk, handling academy affairs while watching the screen in front of him, which displayed the outer academy's challenge match.

"Is everything ready?" Yali asked Qianmo and Guyuena gently.

"Ready," Qianmo and Gu Yuena said calmly, their expressions relaxed, showing no sign of the pressure of facing a One-Word Battle Armor Master.

The latest novel is first published here!

"So, who's going first this time?" Qianmo asked, turning his head.

"Hmph," Gu Yuena snorted arrogantly, "You went first last time, this time it's my turn."

The homeroom teacher of Class 1, Grade 3 is a middle-aged woman named Song Lin, a two-character Battle Armor Master and a senior teacher in the Foreign Languages ​​Department. She is the one who has personally taught Class 1, Grade 3.

Song Lin looked at Mo Jue and instructed, "Be careful, these two first-graders are not simple."

Shrek Academy has a three-year age gap, meaning each year's students are three years apart. If a third-year student loses to a first-year student, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

"I know. Don't worry, Teacher Song, we'll definitely win the third match!" Mo Jue had somehow appeared beside Song Lin, proudly raising his cheeks.

Gu Yuena jumped onto the stage, her bright purple eyes and flowing silver hair making her a stunning beauty that captivated many of the boys in the audience.

Mo Jue did not jump onto the competition platform, but instead walked up the steps one by one.

"Mo Jue, it's Mo Jue's turn to make a move. Are they going to let Mo Jue take over for the third year?"

Below the stage, the students from all grades were immediately drawn to Mo Jue's figure, and they began to discuss among themselves.

Without considering the senior students who have already entered the inner academy, the strongest in the outer academy are the One-Word Battle Armor Masters. Before participating in the inner academy's assessment, they are still outer academy students. And there are only two such students: Mo Jue and Li Qiankun.

Therefore, in a sense, they are the strongest in the outer academy.
