Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

"When exactly do you plan to start?"

As the focus of everyone present, Wu Changkong, the homeroom teacher of Class 5, looked at Ye Yingluo, who was repeatedly delaying the time, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.

As a former member of Shrek Academy, Wu Changkong doesn't have much patience for mediocre people.

Indeed, in Wu Changkong's view, the entire East Sea Academy, apart from Tang Wu, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie, is a group of mediocre talents.

The so-called promotion tournament is nothing more than a formality.

As my own student, it's only natural that I won this match.

Seeing Ye Yingluo still looking around, Long Hengxu, the dean of students and referee for this competition, rubbed his hands together and said with a troubled expression, "Teacher Ye, this..."

"Alright, Yang Zi, you guys teach them a lesson!"

Ye Yingluo, having searched high and low without finding Su Mo, sighed helplessly and then turned to the composed young man behind her to give instructions.

"Please welcome the participants from both sides to the stage!"

Seeing that both sides had finalized their participating students, Long Hengxu, as the head of teaching, gave the order.

"Just wait to die! You..."

On the arena, Wei Xiaofeng grinned and taunted Tang Wulin and the others.

"you!"

Xie Xie was furious and was about to rush up and fight Wei Xiaofeng when he heard a lazy voice coming from afar.

"Am I late?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure slowly walking towards them from the other side of the playground.

"It's not too late, it's not too late!"

Seeing Su Mo arrive, Ye Yingluo finally felt relieved, and at the same time, she didn't forget to give a wink to Long Hengxu, who was the referee.

Long Hengxu really wanted to refuse Ye Yingluo's request.

After all, there's no such thing as someone changing their strategy once they're already on the ring.

However, considering that Su Mo was a student the dean particularly favored, Long Hengxu looked at Wu Changkong with a troubled expression.

In response, Wu Changkong calmly uttered three words: "Whatever!"

Wu Changkong has absolute confidence in his students.

Seeing that Wu Changkong had agreed, Long Hengxu breathed a sigh of relief, and his satisfaction with Wu Changkong increased even more.

"Damn, this guy's such a show-off!"

Watching Su Mo slowly making his way here and becoming the focus of everyone's attention, Xie Xie felt so jealous he almost ground his teeth to powder.

"Teacher Ye..."

Just as Long Hengxu was about to ask Ye Yingluo who she wanted to replace, Su Mo had already leaped onto the arena.

"You, get off."

Su Mo patted Wei Xiaofeng on the shoulder and gave the order.

"I……?"

Faced with Su Mo's order, Wei Xiaofeng instinctively tried to speak up for himself, only to see Su Mo coldly utter, "Get out!"

Then, as if some painful memory had been triggered, Wei Xiaofeng jumped off the stage in a panic, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Su Mo.

"This guy looks really strong!"

Xie Xie gave Tang Wulin a look, and the other nodded in tacit agreement.

Although they all disliked Wei Xiaofeng's arrogance, they had to admit that he did have some ability.

As for Gu Yue, from the moment Su Mo appeared, her gaze was firmly fixed on Su Mo.

The reason was simple: Su Mo inexplicably felt familiar to Gu Yue, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

Could it be that he didn't die back then?

Gu Yue calmly compared the Su Mo in front of her with the image of Su Mo in her memory, but felt that they were not quite the same.

This is thanks to the extremely rapid growth rate of people on this continent.

In just three short years, Su Mo has completely changed from his former self.

Otherwise, Su Mo really wouldn't dare to stay by Tang Wulin's side.

Never mind, we'll find out later what his martial soul is.

Although she couldn't sense any soul beast aura on Su Mo, Gu Yue was still determined to test Su Mo herself.

"This guy is mine."

Gu Yue took a step forward, and a pale yellow spirit ring bloomed beneath her feet.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie exchanged a glance, then turned to greet Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi.

Class 5, Gu Yue

After a brief self-introduction, Gu Yue casually waved her hand, and a fireball the size of a fist hurtled straight toward Su Mo.

"Class One, Su Mo"

Seeing the fireball coming, Su Mo yawned and tilted his head, easily dodging it.

Although it was just a normal test, Gu Yue still frowned unhappily when she saw the other party's nonchalant attitude.

She disliked Su Mo's attitude very much.

Gu Yue immediately raised his hand and summoned another fireball.

Seeing Gu Yue repeating the same trick, Su Mo was about to complain, "Don't use the same move again..."

But before he could finish speaking, the fireball, which was originally only the size of a fist, swelled to more than a meter tall when it got within a meter of Su Mo.

"First, deliberately show weakness to lull Su Mo into a false sense of security and make Su Mo lower his guard."

Once he was certain that Su Mo could not dodge his attack, he would then use wind element to amplify his attack.

Is this child's control over the elements really that strong?

Ye Yingluo, who appeared calm on the surface but was actually inwardly seething, glanced at Gu Yue with a look of apprehension.

Although Ye Yingluo already knew about Gu Yue from her younger sister, she was still somewhat shocked when she saw him in person.

However, Ye Yingluo had absolute confidence in Su Mo.

A wave of scorching heat hit him, and at such close range, it was too late for Su Mo to react.

"Ah~"

The moment the flames engulfed him, Su Mo let out a scream.

However, no one present seemed worried about Su Mo.

Because Su Mo's scream was so perfunctory, anyone could hear the mockery in it.

Upon hearing Su Mo's perfunctory scream, Gu Yue's pretty face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Gu Yue clenched her fist, determined to teach Su Mo a lesson.

Look here!

Gu Yue subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and when she looked up, she met a pair of scarlet eyes.

"Oh no!" The moment Su Mo met Gu Yue's gaze, a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Gu Yue tried to divert attention, but it was too late.

"First Soul Skill: Illusion"

A strange and alluring scarlet light flashed across Su Mo's face, and Su Mo and Gu Yue were immediately trapped in Su Mo's illusion.

Trapped in the illusion, Gu Yue's hands fell limply to her sides, her eyes vacant, like a puppet without self-awareness.

"Gu Yue!!!"

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who were fighting with Wang Jinxi and others, noticed Gu Yue's unusual behavior and immediately went to her side.

"Gu Yue, wake up!"

Tang Wulin grabbed Gu Yue's shoulders and shook her violently, trying to wake her up.

"What happened?"

Among the crowd, many students began to whisper among themselves as they looked at Gu Yue, who appeared to have lost consciousness.

In the past few days of promotion matches, Gu Yue's reputation has already spread throughout the entire first grade.

Although most people still favor Class 1, they also believe it will be a tough battle, and no one expected that Gu Yue would be defeated in one move.

"Did I miss something?"

Looking at Gu Yue, who was standing motionless on the arena, a student from Class 5 looked at his classmate with a blank expression.

All I did was bend down to tie my shoelaces, how did Gu Yue end up like this?

Even many teachers in the crowd didn't understand what methods Su Mo had used.

"Alright, stop wasting your energy."

Seeing Tang Wulin still trying to awaken Gu Yue, Su Mo shook his head helplessly, and then cast an illusion spell on both Tang Wulin and Xie Xie.

Under the overwhelming pressure of Su Mo's soul power and mental strength, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were destined to be powerless to fight back.

"Can we announce the results now?"

After confirming that Tang Wulin and his group had fallen into his illusion, Su Mo, who had easily defeated three opponents, turned his attention to Long Hengxu, who was acting as the referee.

"..."

Seeing Tang Wulin and the others suddenly become motionless, Long Hengxu had no idea what had happened and could only turn to the knowledgeable Wu Changkong for help.

Only Wu Changkong and some of the group members who had fought with Su Mo knew what had happened to Gu Yue.

Ignoring Long Hengxu's pleading gaze, Wu Changkong sized Su Mo up and down before readily declaring, "We lost!"

However, Wu Changkong's face showed no emotional fluctuation due to this failure.

This left Ye Yingluo, who wanted to take the opportunity to mock Wu Changkong, with no chance to do anything, so she could only snort coldly and give up.

"Yay!"

Upon seeing Wu Changkong admit defeat, a burst of excited shouts erupted from the crowd of Class One.

Although the students in Class 5 had already anticipated this, they were still somewhat disappointed when their hopes were dashed.

Upon seeing Wu Changkong admit defeat, Su Mo snapped his fingers crisply, dispelling the illusion spell on Tang Wulin and the other two.

"Na'er..."

"Mother……"

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie both cried out at the same time.
