Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 16 Victory!

This is exactly the effect he wanted!

The long stalemate and buildup just now were all for the purpose of entering the wind formation.

More precisely, it's about getting the other party to take the initiative and drawing them into the wind formation.

Because if Beibei were to actively enter the wind formation, her ulterior motives would inevitably be exposed, and she would certainly be driven away by her opponents with all her might.

How could things be like this now, with the opponent giving him all their support and getting closer to his own territory?

As Ma Xiaotao continued her attacks, Bei Bei's position was gradually pushed back to the center of the wind formation.

Another significant function of the wind formation is to prevent the enemy from flanking the backline, thus greatly weakening the formation.

Beibei knew that now was the time; if she continued to dawdle, her intentions would be discovered.

Using the rebound force of Ma Xiaotao's attack, plus the explosive power provided by "Dragon King's Roar", it broke through three hurricane array eyes in a row.

"It's time!"

"Merge ring!"

"Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill, Dragon Star Cluster!"

With hands slightly outstretched, he used his soul power as a guide to gather the power of the stars, unleashing a divine meteorite attack that covered the area from top to bottom.

"not good!"

"A wide-area attack soul skill! And it's at the ten-thousand-year level!"

Even if Ma Xiaotao was slow to react, she knew exactly what Beibei was going to do.

Kuku's flaming phoenix claws reached for Beibei.

But just as she was about to succeed, a sacred meteorite struck her.

Influenced by the properties of the sacred meteorite, its body began to petrify rapidly, forming a dark yellow outer shell that sealed its entire body. The phoenix flames that were bursting forth were also sealed and annihilated by the stone shell.

Now a stone statue, her outstretched arm is only inches away from Beibei!

Gongyang Mo, the support-type character who was furthest from Beibei, was also within a radius of ten zhang covered by the "Dragon Star Cluster".

Unable to escape, he was petrified by the sacred meteorite, turning into a stone statue in a pose of fleeing.

The gust of wind dissipated, leaving only a gentle breeze. Bei Bei deactivated her martial spirit possession, placed her hand on Ma Xiaotao's shoulder, and shouted at the referee:

"Ma Xiaotao's team is completely eliminated!"

Fortunately, the sound was loud enough to wake the referee from his daze.

The scene was truly astonishing. Despite being on the verge of elimination, Bei Bei managed to turn the tide and achieve a remarkable comeback by relying on her hidden, ten-thousand-year-old area-of-effect attack soul skill. It was truly unexpected.

Even though he was a referee and far more skilled than Beibei, he couldn't have predicted this outcome.

After two breaths, seeing that none of Ma Xiaotao's team members had broken the petrification seal, he immediately issued a judgment:

"Ma Xiaotao's team is out!"

"Beibei...team has won the championship in this year's freshman assessment!"

After all, two breaths is a lot of time for a Soul Master to do.

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Ma Xiaotao finally broke free from the stone seal effect of "Dragon Star Cluster".

Looking at Beibei with a complicated expression, and seeing that he was still pressing his hand down on her, she said speechlessly:

"You win, I admit defeat, okay?"

"Can you let me go now?"

When there was no response for a while, she suddenly felt a tremor in her heart and reached out her slender fingers toward Beibei's nose.

But suddenly, he grabbed her with his other hand, and a weak voice came from Beibei's mouth:

"I'm tired... not dead!"

Ma Xiaotao: "..."

She pouted unhappily, but still put her arm around his and took him back to the rest area.

This rest lasted for a full twelve hours.

The trainees who were not eliminated by the new student assessment gathered at Shrek Square.

The square was completely silent, with every student listening attentively, a stark contrast to the usual noise.

Based on the academy's past practice of assessing new students, the top four teams will at least be granted the status of quasi-core disciples.

Even if you don't make it into the top four teams, as long as you're not eliminated and perform exceptionally well, you still have a chance to be included in the list of core disciples.

In addition to receiving preferential resources from the academy, core disciples will also be provided with the most suitable spirit rings by the academy during their next breakthrough.

When it comes to matters concerning one's own interests, who would hesitate to mention them, fearing that their own name might be left out?

"Based on the students' performance in the freshman assessment, the academy has finalized the list of core disciples as follows: Bei Bei, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Gongyang Mo, Chen Zifeng, Ling Luochen, Xi Xi, Yao Haoxuan, and Feng Ling."

After the list of core disciples was read out, Wu Yan, who did not hear his name called, subconsciously clenched his fist.

The teams that ranked second and third had all six members become core disciples, but he was in the team that ranked first in the assessment, yet he wasn't on the list of core disciples.

Why? Because his cultivation level is only at the first level!

Qian Qian, who was also in the same circle, easily saw through his thoughts.

He comforted her, saying, "Don't worry."

"We got first place entirely thanks to our captain. It's normal that our names aren't on the list of core disciples."

"Keep listening, maybe our names will be among the prospective core disciples."

It has to be said that Qian Qian's words are like magic; he's ranked number one on the list of prospective core disciples.

"Given that some freshmen lacked talent and ability during the freshman assessment, but still performed well."

"The academy has decided to temporarily grant them the status of prospective core disciples. The list is as follows: Qian Qian, Wu Yan, Zhou Wu, Zhao Yi..."

"Within one year, they will enjoy the same treatment as core disciples. After one year, their promotion will be decided based on their performance."

Upon hearing that he had been promoted to a quasi-core disciple, Qian Qian exclaimed excitedly, "That's wonderful!"

"I knew it! Following the lucky Beibei has so many benefits."

Overjoyed and excited, his soul power cultivation broke through instantly.

His soul power increased from level nineteen to level twenty, and he was only one soul ring away from becoming a Great Soul Master.

Beibei patted him on the shoulder: "Congratulations!"

"I'll take advantage of this reward to obtain a suitable spirit ring."

Wu Yan also spoke up: "Congratulations..."

Although he said congratulations, he was completely taken aback when he saw Qian Qian's breakthrough.

Now, even among the quasi-core disciples, he is the only one-ring Soul Master.

Silently, I began to draw circles of curses in my heart.

After the list of prospective core disciples was read out, Wu Yan wouldn't be the only student who was dissatisfied.

"I refuse to accept this! Two people at the first level can become prospective core disciples, why can't I?!"

"They're just relying on luck. If it weren't for Beibei, they wouldn't even have passed the freshman assessment, let alone won the championship."

"That's right, that's right!"

"I disagree!"

"Me too!"

"..."

Discontent spread among the trainees and intensified.

At this moment, Dean Yan Shaozhe, who had been listening in, stood up.
