Chapter 14: Wang Yan

Soon, a man who looked to be in his forties walked over, with an ordinary appearance and no imposing aura, his face smiling warmly and very friendly.

After arriving at the arena, he first counted the people, nodded with satisfaction, and smiled: "Very good, we have six assessment teams here, and I'll be your assessment teacher for the next two days, Wang Yan."

"Hello, Teacher Wang," the trainees bowed and saluted in turn.

"Hehe, no need for so much ceremony; from now on you're all my little friends.

But I must remind you, this assessment must not injure or cripple opponents, otherwise I'll have to ask them to leave and report it to the academy."

Wang Yan said gently, "Alright, we can now officially start the competition."

Then he took out a folder, opened it, glanced at it and announced, "First match, Freshman Class 2: Su Yun Tian, Wang Dong; Freshman Class 3: Ouyang Junyi, Chen Junfeng, Zhao Haochen."

You may enter the arena, each to your corner; wait for my signal before you release your martial souls and step in.

Su Yun Tian hadn't expected to be in the first match himself; after a brief eye contact with Wang Dong, he entered quickly, taking the left and right positions.

The two didn't need any particular formation.

Wang Yan glanced at them; he had already heard from Yan Shaozhe about the two being on the same team.

That meant their strength was certainly high, which piqued Wang Yan's curiosity.

After the three from Freshman Class 3 took the stage, Ouyang Junyi stood at the back while the other two positioned themselves in front.

"Alright, begin," Wang Yan said, seeing everyone in position.

Whoosh— Wang Dong's martial soul instantly possessed him, a pair of brilliant wings unfurling as his body suddenly leapt into the air, soaring toward the three.

It must be said, Wang Dong's Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul is striking no matter where it appears.

Even Wang Yan couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Come quick, my big drumstick!" Ouyang Junyi shouted, a lone yellow soul ring lighting up as he tossed two drumsticks to Chen Junfeng and Zhao Haochen.

He's a Food Class soul master!

After eating the drumsticks, the other two's speed surged dramatically; clearly, his first soul skill serves to increase speed.

Zhao Haochen's martial soul is a bird; once possessed, a sharp spike instantly sprouted from the front of his right forearm.

But there were no wings.

Chen Junfeng's martial soul, on the other hand, is a flexible sword.

Both of them are also first-ring.

Su Yun Tian made no move, merely watching quietly.

After all, three first-ring soul masters can't possibly defeat Wang Dong, who wields a top-tier beast martial soul and has a soul power level of 28.

Within minutes, the three were knocked off the stage.

Wang Yan pushed his eyelids back, eyes full of astonishment; although Wang Dong's soul power level is high, solving a one‑versus‑three so effortlessly is rare.

One can only say, truly worthy of a top‑tier beast martial soul.

"First match, Su Yun Tian and Wang Dong's team win!"

Since it was day one, there was only one match; after Wang Dong and Su Yun Tian finished, they returned to the dormitory to cultivate.

On the second day, the contests were split into upper and lower sessions, each with two rounds.

The third day had five rounds, as the Freshman Assessment only spans three days.

Neither stayed to watch, as it was unnecessary; almost all teams here are first-ring, with only a few second-ring, posing no threat.

Day three, afternoon, first round.

Because many were eliminated in the first two days, the later matches featured high‑quality opponents, each team starting with a great soul master.

Su Yun Tian decided to take the next match himself.

The reason he hadn't acted before wasn't because he was hiding a Six-winged Angel or anything.

It was simply unnecessary.

Even with only Wang Dong, he still achieved five consecutive victories.

Moreover, his martial soul is known throughout the outer courtyard, spread by word of mouth.

"First round, Class 2 Su Yun Tian squad versus Class 7 Huang Chutian team!" Wang Yan announced.

Huang Chutian? Su Yun Tian blinked slightly at the name; if memory serves, this is a team of three second‑ring great soul masters, and among them Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo are twin sisters who possess the Soul Weapon Fusion Technique—Heavenly Net!

"Both sides, enter!" Wang Yan ordered.

At this moment, Huang Chutian stood at the very center, while Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo positioned slightly behind on the left and right.

After taking their positions, both sides released their martial souls simultaneously.

Huang Chutian hammered his chest hard, his height suddenly swelling from about 1.5 m to over 1.8 m.

His bulky muscles tore through his school uniform, and the exposed skin turned a black‑iron hue.

His eyes shifted from black to yellow, two canine fangs protruded slightly from his thickened lips, and his limbs grew especially massive, the muscles as solid and powerful as steel.

The two sisters behind him showed no obvious change at first; their light‑blue hair instantly elongated, stretching dozens of meters in an instant, fluttering continuously.

Su Yun Tian squinted; his previously white hair instantly took on a golden sheen, and his light‑blue eyes turned radiant gold.

His body suddenly radiated countless golden flashes.

Three pairs of snow‑white wings unfurled from his back.

His body seemed to defy gravity, gradually hovering about a foot above the ground.

Bathed in golden light, a massive, featureless angelic silhouette appeared behind him, also bearing three pairs of wings, this time golden.

Three circles of purple soul rings flickered, a holy aura sweeping toward them.

It was the first time anyone, even Wang Yan, had seen a Six-winged Angel martial soul, leaving everyone staring dumbfounded.

In the rest of the assessment area, those not fighting also turned to look at Su Yun Tian.

"What a holy martial soul!"

"Bathed in this light, it feels so pleasant!"

Huang Chutian shook his head, his huge body moved, each step bringing a shaking like an earthquake.

When he was still three meters from Su Yun Tian, he suddenly exerted force and leapt up.

He raised a fist the size of a head and smashed it hard at Su Yun Tian.

"Angel Strike!" The Six-winged Angel is not strong in power, but the combination of soul skills is perfect.

The first soul skill not only enhances attack but also generates defense.

Above the fist, a golden shield appeared, colliding with Huang Chutian's fist.

Huang Chutian's face changed in shock; his whole body instantly fell from the sky to the ground, retreating several dozen steps before stopping.

The Divine Strength Ape's power is great, but he ultimately did not release a soul skill, and he has one fewer soul ring than Su Yun Tian, so naturally he is no match for him.

Su Yun Tian pursued the victory, continuously condensing holy light in his hand.

Behind them, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo the two sisters also did not linger; a circle of yellow soul rings lit up respectively from each of their bodies.

Their hairs were like fine threads, quickly twining together, flying forward to meet Huang Chutian.

"Angel's Eye!" A platinum-colored ray burst from the golden vertical pupil, instantly tearing a large hole between the two hairs, yet Huang Chutian still managed to escape.

Afterwards, in everyone's astonished gaze, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo suddenly interrupted the release of their soul skill, instead opening their arms and embracing each other.
