Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat, but then she remembered that the person who challenged her was Shen Yumo, so she thought, "Oh, then it's alright." She thought to herself, "That Shen Yumo kid has become quite arrogant since coming back from his vacation."
She was indeed shocked by the young man's demeanor. What made him so confident? His fearless temperament was even more admirable. He looked like a Soul Master who had experienced bloodshed. Flowers in a greenhouse are different from flowers that grow difficultly by the roadside.
I'm getting more and more curious... A barely perceptible glint of cunning flashed in Teacher Zhou's eyes.
The referee didn't recognize the boy, so he didn't know his Soul Master level strength; otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have thought that way.
At Shen Yumo's insistence, the referee nodded and said, "If you lose, you can call me, and I will immediately come to your aid. A thousand-year-old soul beast will be randomly selected to test you. Are you ready?"
Shen Yumo replied without hesitation, "I'm ready."
"The assessment begins," the referee gestured towards the distance. A series of rattling sounds followed, and a massive iron gate slowly opened in the distance. From the dark tunnel came the sound of frantic running. The students, who had been debating whether Shen Yumo could finish the fight in a minute, immediately fell silent. Facing this situation for the first time, they all felt a strange pressure.
A beam of azure light suddenly flashed out from the deep cave, moving at incredible speed, covering dozens of meters in an instant, heading straight for Shen Yumo's face.
With a body about two meters long and one meter high, its blue fur fluttering in the wind, and its brown-yellow eyes filled with frenzy, it was none other than the incredibly fast speed-type soul beast, the Wind Spirit Wolf.
But in Shen Yumo's eyes, everything became so sluggish. The speed of the Wind Spirit Wolf seemed to have slowed down three or four times in his eyes, and he could even see the drool overflowing from the corner of its mouth and the green light showing in its wolf eyes.
I can't help but sigh, the academy is indeed an academy, it's so ginkgo-like. But if you have money to raise soul beasts, why don't you have money to feed them?
Look how hungry you guys have been! Your eyes are gleaming with ferocity; you're clearly starving wolves! Your fighting power has increased dramatically.
Just then, Shen Yumo suddenly changed. Under everyone's gaze, four incredibly dazzling spirit rings lit up from beneath his feet. What was most terrifying was the dark, ten-thousand-year spirit ring, making people exclaim in amazement, "How could this young man be so talented!"
The Demon Blade Thousand Blades, which she had long mastered, whirled rapidly in her hand, leaving a fleeting purple afterimage before Shen Yumo vanished completely.
The wolf's fierce eyes were about to pounce on the human, but the next second it missed its target.
The Wind Spirit Wolf reacted extremely quickly, spinning its body in the air and nimbly stopping itself in mid-air.
At this moment, the students present saw the exact appearance of this thousand-year-old soul beast.
Its smooth, glossy, dark green fur and the size of a grown calf gave it a predatory look in its eyes, and its sharp teeth gleamed coldly.
One of the timid Soul Masters went limp and fell to the ground from the chair. The others watched the Wind Spirit Wolf in silence. It would be a lie to say they weren't afraid; fear is a universal human trait.
But when the Wind Spirit Wolf steadied itself and began searching for the human figures nearby, it suddenly sensed someone behind it. The sharp and agile Wind Spirit Wolf immediately tried to turn around, but Shen Yumo was much faster than it.
The next second, the Wind Spirit Wolf was kicked flying ten meters into the air.
With a mournful wail, everyone suddenly realized that the speed was so fast that only speed-type Soul Masters could see the specific battle situation clearly. Some people could only see one purple and one green body fighting in the arena.
When the Wind Spirit Wolf flew high in the sky, everyone looked up. The wolf, suspended in mid-air, seemed to have lost its means of attack. At this distance, it was definitely not enough to kill a thousand-year-old soul beast.
Just as it was about to crash to the ground, a rapidly moving purple figure instantly materialized above the wolf.
A warm smile appeared on that incredibly handsome face, but it was very inappropriate in the current situation.
After thinking about it, I decided it was better not to kill him.
The demonic blade in his hand vanished in the blink of an eye, and his three-foot-long leg kicked directly at the wolf.
The attack wasn't very powerful; in mid-air, it looked like a light tap on the wolf's body.
But the wolf's figure descended rapidly, and everyone's gaze followed.
The wolf let out a miserable howl, scrambled to its feet in pain, and ran back into the dark tunnel with lightning speed, disappearing from sight.
The atmosphere seemed to freeze. Everything happened so fast that there was no time to react. Everyone was stunned, even the referee.
Some people didn't even see clearly and assumed the other person was...
……
Chapter 137 Electrolux Appears
Some people didn't even see clearly and thought the other party had sent the wolf straight into the sky, so they couldn't help but look up.
A blue figure slowly landed on the spot, elegant and stylish.
The referee glanced at the dark tunnel, then at the suddenly appearing blue-haired boy, and stammered for a long time…
Since he didn't speak, Shen Yumo thought he was mute...
Speechless, Shen Yumo said, "Referee, I passed the test, right? That soul beast ran back on its own, you should have seen that, so it's not my fault." After saying that, Shen Yumo shrugged, thinking that this should count as passing the test.
He genuinely hadn't used much force; he could defeat the Wind Spirit Wolf but not kill it. He was afraid he might accidentally kill the little wolf, which wouldn't be a big deal. This undoubtedly made Shen Yumo more cautious, but even so, the Wind Spirit Wolf still escaped.
"Uh...uh...cough cough, the assessment is over!" The judge, who was momentarily speechless, finally managed to say this.
The afternoon assessment is over.
Without any special advantages, Huo Yuhao was clearly inferior. After bravely challenging a hundred-year-old soul beast, he remained silent, ending what he considered a farce-like assessment.
But no one noticed that as Huo Yuhao left, a sentence echoed in his mind.
"Hahahaha, I am the Holy Lich King, Elex..."
If Shen Yumo heard this, she'd give him a shoe insole on the spot. Damn it, Electrolux, stop playing tricks.
……
During the afternoon class, Wang Yan's expression was clearly very off. When he glanced at his classmate Shen Yumo, his gaze softened slightly.
Wang Yan then scanned the trainees, saying, "I'm still not satisfied with your performance during the assessment. Think about it yourselves, when the Wind Spirit Wolf appeared today, did you feel any panic?"
Many people immediately lowered their heads in shame.
Wang Yan said, "This is not because you are not strong enough, but because you lack direct combat experience with soul beasts. If you were facing classmates of equal strength, would you still be panicked? No. Because you believe that your classmates will not really hurt you. So, which is stronger, soul beasts or us soul masters? I can give you a definite answer: under the condition of equal cultivation, we soul masters are definitely stronger."
Wow, wow! Shen Yumo silently picked at her ears. She was so tired of hearing this kind of talk. As expected of you, Wang Yan.
He pointed to his head. "Because we humans possess intelligence. The reason you fear spirit beasts is because they lack intelligence and possess ruthless killing intent. However, once you adapt to fighting spirit beasts, you'll discover that the truly powerful ones are us spirit masters. We can utilize our martial spirits and spirit skills to devise various battle strategies. But you must remember, no matter how excellent the tactics or how powerful the spirit skills, only courageous individuals can truly unleash their power. The advancement assessment is crucial to your ability to remain in the academy and continue your studies; to put it more broadly, it even affects your future. Today, we'll hone our skills before the actual battle, training your courage. Yuhao's ability allows him to alter the color and aura of his spirit rings. I demand that, no matter how strong the pressure you feel, you must restrain the urge to unleash your martial spirit and remain as calm as possible. Yuhao, let's begin."
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Shen Yumo smiled slightly and nodded. Her figure flashed swiftly, arriving beside Wang Yan. Before anyone could react, four spirit rings slowly rose from beneath her feet.
A jet-black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring suddenly lit up, and a terrifying pressure made it difficult for everyone in the classroom to breathe.
That aura was clearly much stronger, like the ferocious aura of an ancient behemoth, as if it wanted to tear them apart.
"Shen Yumo's fourth spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring! This is several times more stressful than the spirit beasts during the assessment. This is also what I want to do to train your ability to withstand pressure!" Wang Yan adjusted his glasses and said with a sly indignation, quite pleased with how stressed everyone looked.
Hearing Wang Yan's despicable face, everyone cursed him inwardly, yet even in this situation, they couldn't help but look up at the two. After all, that ten-thousand-year soul ring was too intimidating, something that was both desirable and unattainable for them at present.
As everyone knows, the best configuration for a Soul Master's first four Soul Rings is yellow, yellow, purple, and purple. This means that, without special circumstances, this is the maximum age a Soul Master can achieve. However, there are one or two oddballs who happen to have a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring as their fourth Soul Ring!
Isn't this a scam? Many people are thinking, "I'm so frustrated!"
Wang Dong stubbornly raised his head in a protective stance, releasing his soul power around Huo Yuhao in an attempt to reduce the pressure on him.
However, the actual situation was not ideal, and the feeling of being unable to breathe became even stronger!
Although Huo Yuhao was lying on the table, making it seem as if he had collapsed because he couldn't withstand the pressure, was that really the case?
"Senior! Senior! Where are you?"
"I am here."
A wisp of dark gray mist, shimmering with light, floated around him.
Huo Yuhao then realized that there was such a thing in his spiritual sea.
The Sea of Spirit!
The Sea of Spirituality...
The sea... spirit?
Huo Yuhao clutched his head in pain, as if an unbreakable shackle was binding his mind... as if he had lost something...
Seeing Huo Yuhao lost in confusion and pain, Electrolux sighed helplessly.
"Senior, I feel like I've lost something. Why is that?" After a moment, Huo Yuhao, who had returned to normal, asked the ball of light with an innocent expression. Because of the aged voice, Huo Yuhao naturally assumed that it was an elder.
"Oh?" The ball of light exclaimed in surprise. Electrox thought for a moment and then gave a kind smile, saying, "Child, you're just tired. When you're tired, you should rest more. You said it yourself, it's an object. There's no reason why objects won't get lost. It's not surprising that an object gets lost."
"It's not surprising that something is lost?" Huo Yuhao muttered to himself. Although the words made sense, he was still puzzled as to what exactly was lost. Perhaps he was just really tired lately.
Since Shen Yumo and I have been rushing to the academy day and night, I've naturally had much less time to rest. Today is only the second day of school, and I almost missed school last night because I was sleeping in. It seems I really need to get some rest.
"So, senior, what do you do?" Huo Yuhao's intuition told him that the other party was not simple.
Shen Yumo naturally noticed Huo Yuhao, who was slumped over the table...
……
Chapter 138 The Pressure of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring
"So, senior, what do you do?" Huo Yuhao's intuition told him that the other party was not simple.
Shen Yumo naturally noticed Huo Yuhao, who was lying motionless on the table. She looked at Wang Yan, who nodded, and Shen Yumo immediately understood what he meant.
The oppressive force of the ten-thousand-year spirit ring vanished without a trace. He certainly didn't want to accidentally kill Huo Yuhao...
The invisible pressure gradually disappeared, and the constraints imposed on everyone vanished. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the boy beside Wang Yan again, but there was something different in their eyes.
Huo Yuhao suddenly jumped up from the table, looking around blankly at the different glances he received. He instantly remembered the old man who had just appeared in his mind...
Wang Dong shoved Huo Yuhao, who blinked blankly before returning to normal. Wang Dong, on the other hand, looked up and glared resentfully at Shen Yumo. With his straightforward personality and mysterious background, he was naturally not afraid of Shen Yumo.
Shen Yumo naturally noticed the undisguised look in Wang Dong's eyes, but he simply ignored it.
"Alright, Shen Yumo, you can go down now." Wang Yan patted Shen Yumo's dazed figure. He had high hopes for this student, and today she impressed him even more. He wondered what Wang Yan would think if he saw a 100,000-year soul ring.
Shen Yumo gave an "oh" and, under the watchful eyes of the whole class, revealed a meaningful smile. She glanced back at Huo Yuhao twice before sitting back down in her seat.
Wang Yan smiled at the relieved students and said, "Whether it's the pressure from the soul beasts or the pressure from the soul masters, it's essentially a form of mental intimidation. If your mental strength is stable enough, then no matter how strong the pressure is, you will remain as steadfast as rocks on the beach. Just now, your minds were captivated by my story, so you didn't feel Yu Mo's pressure, did you? Go back and reflect on it carefully, and prepare well for the upgrade assessment. Alright, that's all for this afternoon. We'll continue this kind of practice tomorrow."
Wang Yan was speaking on stage, while Shen Yumo was thinking offstage.
I clearly felt it...
When he first stood on the stage and unleashed the pressure of his spirit rings, he clearly felt a faint surge of spiritual energy below the stage. Although it was very weak, Shen Yumo was certain that it was not something any student in the class could emit. That spiritual energy was incredibly powerful! It could even be compared to the Ice Emperor who absorbed Tianmeng!
How powerful must that be?
It seems another cheat code has arrived after Tianmeng. Thinking this, Shen Yumo's lips curled into a sinister smirk. Let me guess who it is?
Oh, right!
I almost forgot about you, old man, haha.
It's best, really best, not to let Huo Yuhao know things he shouldn't know. We're all smart people; that grayish ball of light should know what to do.
