Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

"Support-type Soul Masters, step forward. You cannot directly engage in combat, but you should carefully observe your classmates' battles to familiarize yourselves with their fighting styles and prepare for forming teams in the future."

As soon as Jun Moxiao finished speaking, eight support-type Soul Masters stepped out from the freshman class, including Vina.

The support-type Soul Masters from Class 2 of the new students have also stepped forward; there are six support-type Soul Masters in total.

Seeing that the battle-type and support-type soul masters in the team were already separated, Lord Grim said to Mu Yu Cheng Feng, "Teacher Mu, let's begin."

Immediately, the two classes lined up, ready to battle one-on-one.

Long Aotian suddenly felt that someone was watching him, and he also felt a familiar aura coming from somewhere. Long Aotian looked around but didn't find anything. There were quite a few people in the Soul Arena at this time, and Long Aotian couldn't find where the gaze was coming from.

The same feeling appeared on Vina as well; she also sensed a familiar aura, but couldn't pinpoint its source.

Long Aotian stopped worrying and focused on the upcoming class battle.

Mu Yu Chengfeng across from them said, "Teacher Jun and I have discussed it and decided that in the first class, Class 1 and Class 2 will compete against each other. This is to get a better understanding of each of your abilities and we hope that you can all do your best."

"However, you are all classmates, so please value harmony and stop here. Do not intentionally hurt your classmates. Alright, without further ado, students from Class 1 and Class 2, those who wish to come up on stage, please go first. I will not call out names one by one."

Then, from Class One, a burly boy with unusually long arms took the lead, none other than Yuan Hong, whose martial spirit was the Long-Armed Ape.

The gibbon is a powerful spirit beast, with its two arms serving as two formidable weapons.

He leaped onto the fighting platform, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Yuan Hong, Martial Soul: Long-Armed Ape, Level 23. Is there any student willing to come up and offer guidance?"

A moment later, someone from Class Two stood up and said, "I'll do it!"

A short, stocky young man stepped onto the Soul Arena and said, "Xie Wang, Martial Soul Earth King, Level 23, please give me your guidance."

The King of the Earth is a scorpion-like spirit beast with fire attributes. It is fierce and few spirit beasts of the same level dare to provoke it. It is a high-grade martial spirit.

Seeing that the two were in position, Mu Yu Chengfeng announced, "Let the battle begin!"

"Martial Soul, Possess!"

As soon as Mu Yu Cheng Feng finished speaking, two loud shouts rang out simultaneously, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the entire Soul Arena.

After Yuan Hong was possessed by the Martial Soul, his body seemed to swell up, and his arms grew even longer, becoming incredibly long. When they naturally hung down, they were already past his knees. At the same time, countless gray-white hairs grew from his body, growing wildly like tangled weeds, and his eyes turned blood red.

Yellow, yellow. Two dazzling spirit rings slowly rose from beneath Yuan Hong's feet, their light reflecting on his face. A sharp glint shone in his blood-red eyes. Standing there quietly, Yuan Hong looked like a ferocious ape.

At the same time, Xie Wang from Class Two had also completed the Martial Soul Possession.

Crimson scorpion stingers spread from his tailbone and then rose high, poised to strike like a whip ready to be unleashed. The tips of the stingers shimmered with a chilling crimson light, while his hands transformed into two enormous scorpion pincers, and hard red bony armor appeared on his body.

The same yellow color appeared on Xie Wang's body, with two spirit rings.

The two had similar auras, were of the same level, had similar martial soul quality, and similar soul ring quality. This battle would depend on whose soul skills were more practical and whose were more proficient.

With a "whoosh," Xie Wang's first spirit ring flashed.

Suddenly, Xie Wang's figure disappeared from the Soul Arena. Or rather, it was because he was moving so fast that his figure was elusive.

Although Xie Wang was short and stocky, he was surprisingly agile after being possessed by the Earth King Martial Soul, which is a testament to the wonders of the Martial Soul.

Seeing Xie Wang's elusive figure, Yuan Hong did not panic, but remained calm and prepared to respond to any changes with composure.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and with a burst of strength from his legs, he leaped to the right, leaving his original position.

Where Yuan Hong had been standing, Xie Wang suddenly appeared. The most eye-catching thing was the scorpion stinger that flashed with a sharp red light. "Whoosh!" The sharp scorpion stinger was like a spear that pierced towards Yuan Hong.

Avoiding Xie Wang's initial surprise attack, Yuan Hong roared, "Earth Shatter!"

His first spirit ring flashed, and at the same time, Yuan Hong plunged his hands into the ground and then threw them up hard.

"Whoosh—"

The granite floor of the battle arena suddenly rippled up like waves, surging towards Xie Wangxi like a tidal wave.

Xie Wang's gaze shifted slightly to the east, and the crimson scorpion stingers on his body shone brightly, piercing the granite ground with a single point, tearing the granite apart.

Torn granite fragments scattered in all directions.

Amidst the flying boulders and billowing dust, Yuan Hong suddenly burst forth, embracing a massive granite section in his arms as he slammed it down towards Xie Wang.

Fierce, fearless, manic, and full of explosive power, Yuan Hong at this moment was like a chaotic demon ape.

Watching the two fight, the students below the stage cheered with excitement. Xie Wang was as elusive as a scorpion, while Yuan Hong's attacks were fierce and explosive. No wonder they dared to challenge the opponent on stage first; they certainly had the strength and confidence.

At this moment, the effect of Xie Wang's first soul skill had ended, and he was in a state where the old power had gone and the new power had not yet been generated.

A look of surprise flashed across Xie Wang's face. At the same time, his second soul ring suddenly lit up, and the scorpion claws that his hands transformed into shone brightly and grew larger again. Then, the scorpion claws attacked Yuan Hong and Shan Yan.

The enormous scorpion claws acted like two giant scissors, cutting the granite into pieces once more.

Looking at the shredded granite, Yuan Hong did not panic; instead, a smile appeared on his face.

At the same time, his second spirit ring flashed, revealing "One-Punch Man".

With Yuan Hong's shout, a huge fist burst out from the dust and smoke of the shattered granite and slammed into Xie Wang's chest.

Xie Wang initially thought the granite was Yuan Hong's attack method, but he didn't expect that the granite was just a smokescreen. Using the granite to block his view, Yuan Hong's "One-Punch Man" directly slammed down. Xie Wang couldn't react in time and was sent flying backward.

Yuan Hong also stopped attacking.
