Chapter 16: Crushing Wu Feng

A few minutes later.

The great square, the Dou Soul Platform.

Everyone from Class Nine had gathered here; seven boys and girls in school uniforms stood on the Dou Soul Platform, while opposite them stood Bai Zhou and Wang Dong.

Of course, Wang Dong was just there to make up the numbers; the main force was Bai Zhou.

Originally, the other students disagreed with Bai Zhou fighting seven alone; after all, everyone had their own pride and was unwilling to bully the few with the many.

However, Mu Jin placed extraordinary trust in Bai Zhou, made the final decision directly, and even offered the tempting reward of a day off for whichever side won.

Thus, this battle began just like that.

"You make the first move; don't say I didn't give you a chance."

Wu Feng stood at the front, and beside her was her best friend—Ning Tian, the Young Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who was also the object of her affection.

Ning Tian's level was the highest, reaching Soul Master Level 29, but since she was of the Support System, the strongest Assault System member in Class Nine was still Wu Feng.

"Alright, be careful."

Bai Zhou nodded, offered no apology, and directly released his Blue Silver Emperor martial soul.

'Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—'

In an instant, countless pale blue vines adorned with golden patterns surged toward the seven of Wu Feng's group.

"Dragon Fire!!"

Wu Feng struck first, attacking Bai Zhou's Blue Silver Grass with her bare hands, each strike carrying the power of scorching flames.

"Crackle, pop, crackle, pop—"

Terrifying flames scorched Bai Zhou's Blue Silver Emperor vines, yet the vitality of the Blue Silver Emperor vines was extremely tenacious; even facing the raging fire, they were not instantly burned away and continued to surge relentlessly toward the other six Great Soul Masters.

The other six Soul Masters all unleashed their respective abilities, resisting or fighting back, instantly creating a stalemate.

"It's actually so fire-resistant!"

Everyone was somewhat surprised; Wu Feng's flames were no ordinary fire but Dragon Fire, and ordinary Plant System Soul Masters facing Wu Feng would basically be completely countered.

Although Bai Zhou's Blue Silver Emperor could not withstand the Dragon Fire indefinitely, being able to hold out for over ten seconds was impressive.

"Hmph! Why aren't your teammates making a move? If this continues, your soul power will soon be exhausted."

Seeing that Wang Dong had not made a move, Wu Feng felt the opponent completely disregarded them, which made her very angry.

"It doesn't matter much; before my soul power is exhausted, it will be enough to settle the battle."

Bai Zhou did not intend to continue consuming energy; he quickly shifted his footing, flashed forward a few times, and arrived before Wu Feng, delivering a simple punch against her.

"A Plant System Soul Master engaging me in close combat? Looking for death!"

"Dragon's Rage!"

Seeing that Bai Zhou actually dared to engage him in close combat, Wu Feng's fury grew even stronger; he immediately activated his Second Soul Skill, greatly increasing his attack and defense capabilities.

"Bang—"

Their fists collided, emitting a dull thud, and Wu Feng's protective soul power instantly exploded apart from the impact.

"How is this possible!! How can your strength be so great!!"

Wu Feng was sent flying several meters, his mind going blank, completely unable to comprehend why this was happening.

"When we have time later, we'll have a deep exchange, and then I'll tell you."

Bai Zhou showed no mercy toward beauty; with a flash, he appeared before Wu Feng and casually kicked out.

Wu Feng subconsciously raised both hands to block.

"Bang—"

A loud explosion rang out; Wu Feng's protective soul power was smashed apart once again, and the terrifying impact sent him flying backward dozens of meters, off the arena, crashing heavily onto the ground in the distance.

Everything happened so fast that even Mu Jin was greatly shocked, even forgetting to catch Wu Feng...

After all, no one would expect the physical strength of a Plant-type Soul Beast to be so formidable that even Wu Feng, possessing the Red Dragon martial soul, was instantly smashed by the opponent; it was simply terrifying! Wang Dong stood quietly in the distance eating melon seeds; seeing Bai Zhou display such Divine Might, he immediately pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and muttered softly, "This guy is indeed secretly cultivating behind my back; it's only been this long, yet he's become so much stronger..." Wang Dong still clearly remembered the helplessness he felt when facing Bai Zhou back then; the opponent's body was comparable to a Soul Beast, absurdly powerful; at that time, facing Bai Zhou was like facing an insurmountable mountain, leaving him utterly despairing...

Presumably, that Wu Feng feels about the same as I did.

Wang Dong secretly glanced at Wu Feng, who was sitting dazed on the ground in the distance; clearly, the other party was also doubting life itself at this moment...

Actually, it wasn't that Bai Zhou was too strong, but rather that his Body Tempering Art, the 'Domineering Body Technique', was too powerful.

Tang San's techniques from the Martial Arts World, such as the 'Mysterious Heaven Skill', not to mention the 'Purple Demon Eye' and 'Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon', could run rampant and kill freely in this Douluo World.

Bai Zhou's technique, however, came from a higher-level Fantasy World; that was simply a dimensional strike, completely on a different level.

Other people's buffs increased stats by no more than 50% at most; even the characteristic of the Continent's number one support, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower, only increased strength by 20% with its First Soul Skill; this was likely the maximum buff...

Meanwhile, Bai Zhou's Domineering Body Technique increased his physical body by 2000%, roughly twenty times the level, plus the messy basic buffs from the Wishing System...

Even Bai Zhou himself didn't know how strong he was now.

"Quick, restrain him! His strength is too great!"

The remaining six people also hadn't expected Bai Zhou to be so fierce; they simply didn't dare let Bai Zhou get close.

"Ice—"

An Ice Attribute Great Soul Master hurriedly used a soul skill, freezing Bai Zhou instantly.

"Boom—"

Bai Zhou slightly stirred the qi and blood within his body; terrifying power erupted instantly, easily smashing all the ice blocks to pieces.

With a "crash," it turned into ice shards filling the sky, continuously falling down.

"Impossible!! My Second Soul Skill can forcibly control even a Soul Elder for one second; he, he, he..." The Ice Attribute Soul Master was completely stunned, as if his worldview had shattered.

"It's over."

At this moment, Bai Zhou's physical body was nearly immune to all hard crowd-control skills; not only was his body formidable, but his speed was also incredibly fast; flashing forward a few times, he arrived before the other Soul Masters, knocking out each kid with a single punch.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—"

In merely ten breaths, Bai Zhou had blasted the remaining six people off the Dou Soul Platform.

However, Bai Zhou did not strike with heavy hands; after all, they would all be classmates in the future, and being too ruthless was not good. Stopping just short of going too far and demonstrating his own strength was already sufficient.

As the battle ended, everyone from Class Nine remained immersed in shock, unable to extricate themselves.

Wu Feng and the other Great Soul Masters defeated by Bai Zhou also fell into self-doubt.

"Yay~ We won~"

Just then, an ill-timed voice rang out; it was none other than Wang Dong, who had spent the entire time on the sidelines eating melon seeds and watching the show.

Everyone turned resentful gazes toward Wang Dong, desperately wanting to curse... This kid had watched the whole damn show from start to finish; what right did he have to be so happy!

"Clap, clap, clap~"

Just then, applause erupted as Mu Jin walked over with a complicated expression, forcing a smile as she said, "Truly a wonderful sparring match; you have truly surprised me."

At this moment, Mu Jin's mood was truly complicated.

Her seven students attacking one only to be counter-killed left her utterly exhausted.

But since Bai Zhou would be her student from now on, this also filled her with great joy.

However, what worried her most now was whether her teaching abilities were sufficient to instruct such a powerful student as Bai Zhou...

For a moment, Mu Jin felt immense pressure.
