Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 32 Three Seconds!

With Mu Jin's command, nearly a hundred students from Class 9 followed her to the Soul Arena, which the academy had specially built for students to practice their skills. This Soul Arena was huge and could accommodate all the students from the outer academy!

With the new semester just beginning, all the students from the outer academy have gone to their classes to register, so there aren't many people in this fighting arena, making it seem quite empty.

However, time is limited, and it is obviously impossible to have all the students in Class 9 of the freshmen participate in a two-on-two round-robin competition. Therefore, only a few students who are qualified to compete for the position of class monitor can be selected to participate in the competition.

However, despite Ning Tian having already informed the students with some ability, not many people signed up to participate in the competition. Apart from her and Wu Feng, who were in the same team, there were only two other teams competing with them for the position of class monitor.

One team consisted of two students who were only at the first level of Soul Master cultivation. They were overconfident and, seeing that no one was vying for the class monitor position, they wanted to try their luck. The other team consisted of Luo Chen and Tai An, who had been looking for an opportunity.

Originally, at Tai'an's suggestion, Luo Chen was thinking of creating some opportunities to embarrass Ning Tian, ​​but unexpectedly, the opportunity came out on its own without him having to lift a finger, and it was even under the instruction of the homeroom teacher, Mu Jin. This made Luo Chen quite happy.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of the students from Class 9, who were all sitting in the surrounding stands, the three teams walked into the Soul Battle Arena together.

Generally, if students want to spar in the Soul Arena, they need to pay a certain fee, and a referee will be responsible for supervision to ensure the safety of both people in dangerous situations.

However, this is currently part of the teaching plan of Mu Jin, the homeroom teacher of Class 9, so there is naturally no need to pay for the use of the Soul Arena. However, Mu Jin still needs to take on the responsibility of protecting the safety of the students.

As soon as the members of Luo Chen's and Ning Tian's teams entered the arena, the atmosphere between the two sides instantly became tense, with the soul power pressure of a two-ring Great Soul Master and a three-ring Soul Venerable being quietly released at this moment.

So much so that two students from another team standing to the side, who were only at the first level of cultivation, could barely stand under this extremely oppressive aura. Both of them had just barely reached the academy's entrance standard, with a soul power cultivation of around level seventeen.

Under the pressure of soul power from Luo Chen and Ning Tian, ​​who were so close to Soul Venerables, or even Soul Venerables, how could they possibly remain calm? They couldn't even stand steadily, let alone fight them. It would be good if they could unleash half of their strength.

Upon seeing this, Mu Jin, who was standing outside the arena, didn't say anything. She directly pulled the two out of the arena. The two had average talent, which wasn't bad. However, the talent of Ning Tian and Luo Chen, who were standing on the same stage, was simply too monstrous.

As the class teacher, Mu Jin was naturally aware of the situation of Luo Chen and the other three on stage. Back when the semester started, Mu Jin had already carefully reviewed the information of all the students in Class 9 of the freshmen. This was her long-standing professional habit.

However, the quality of this year's students greatly exceeded her expectations. In the previous years she led the freshmen classes, it was already extremely rare to have one or two second-ring Great Soul Masters in the class, enough to compete for the top eight in the freshman assessment!

After all, the vast majority of freshmen who enter Shrek Academy are only at the first level of cultivation, and there are very few students at the second level. At most, there are only two or three in a class who can be considered as seeded players in the freshman assessment.

However, among the freshmen she was leading, there were four students with cultivation levels of two-ring Great Soul Master or above, and their martial souls were all incredibly powerful: a top-tier dragon-type offensive martial soul, a top-tier flying agile offensive martial soul, and the legendary Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

Not only that, but it also possesses the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, the absolute overlord among soul beasts, which even shocked her, as well as a bizarre weapon Martial Soul that has never appeared in the academy's tens of thousands of years of history!

It's hard to imagine that so many elite students, geniuses among geniuses, would be assigned to her class at the same time, and there's even a three-ring Soul Master among them!

With this kind of student configuration, let alone competing for the championship in the freshman assessment, it wouldn't be impossible for them to split into two teams and take all three of the top three spots in the freshman assessment!

This is why Mu Jin changed the election for class monitor this year to a two-on-two competition format. There are simply too many talented students, and it is no longer possible to decide the position based on the highest soul power or by voting, as in previous years.

Meanwhile, two students from the other team withdrew disappointingly and were sent back to the spectator seats by Mu Jin. Luo Chen and Ning Tian then began their pre-match preparations.

However, before the match, it is inevitable that the two sides will talk trash. This is not unnecessary. In fact, it has been proven that whether it is talking trash or doing something provocative before the match, it will greatly affect the opponent's mentality and thus increase one's chances of winning.

However, Luo Chen just wanted to make the other party feel bad and vent his anger. After all, since he came to this world, when had he ever been schemed against, let alone blocked at the door of his dormitory by a group of girls in front of everyone?

Even now, after returning to his dormitory, he still hears people gossiping about him behind his back from time to time, which is really unbearable for him!

However, trash-talking was too low-level a tactic, and Luo Chen disdained to engage in it. Instead, under the astonished gazes of Ning Tian and Wu Feng, he slowly held up three fingers to Tai An beside him, then smiled and said:

"Old Tai, three seconds, take them down!"

Tai'an, standing beside Luo Chen, naturally understood what he meant. He brushed off non-existent dust from his clothes, then looked at Ning Tian and Wu Feng with disdain and said:

"They're just a few fleas. It doesn't need three seconds; I can kill them in one swipe!"

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing these words, Wu Feng instantly flew into a rage. Not only did his crimson hair, which was scattered on his shoulders, move without wind, but his pair of fiery red eyes also widened at this moment as he shouted furiously.

Originally, Wu Feng could tolerate Luo Chen's provocative words, after all, Luo Chen's strength was undeniable, and she still vividly remembered that terrifying strike from before, so she didn't say anything.

But now, this guy in front of him, who was only at the first level of cultivation, dared to say such arrogant words, which Wu Feng could not tolerate. He immediately released his Red Dragon Martial Soul!
