Chapter 145: The Deterrence of a Red Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!

Clatter!!!!

"Wow!!!!"

"Is... is this the true strength of the Great Demon King Xu?"

"A thousand-year soul beast that others have to exhaust all their strength to kill, and he didn't even release his martial soul. This... this is simply not showing the slightest bit of respect for a thousand-year soul beast!!!"

"I could imagine he would be strong, but I didn't expect him to be this strong!"

The noise of the crowd instantly resounded, and countless people widened their eyes, looking at this incredible scene before them.

"Elder Xu is awesome, you are truly too awesome!!!!"

Below the stage, Tang Ya waved a flag and shouted,

giving Xu Nian'an plenty of face.

"Perfect combat performance, perfect on-site adaptability... perfect soul power control... 150 points, a perfect score!"

Xu Nian'an was the first on-site to receive a perfect score.

When Xu Nian'an stepped off the stage, even Zhou Yi couldn't help but take a few extra looks.

"You are very good."

Xu Nian'an nodded and didn't say anything.

Bang!

Backstage, the manager of the Great Beast Arena, Gong Zhanglong, saw this scene and his fists instantly clenched tightly.

Enduring for a moment hurts the liver and lungs, taking a step back makes one feel more and more at a loss; finally, unable to endure it any longer, he leaped down from the high platform.

"Xu Nian'an, you stinky brat."

"It's bad enough that I'm raising soul beasts for you, but you—either you don't come to see me, or you want me to raise soul beasts for you, or the moment you arrive, you kill one of my thousand-year Mighty Bears."

"I see your strength has grown quite a bit recently, come, let's spar!"

A red figure, wrapped in powerful flame energy, rapidly approached Xu Nian'an.

A large hand, like a pair of tiger pliers, quickly grabbed toward Xu Nian'an.

Under normal circumstances, even Xu Nian'an couldn't endure this high temperature and would release his martial soul to block.

"Sigh, Beast Elder, don't be angry, this is an assessment, it's not up to me."

Hmph!

After hearing Xu Nian'an's words, Gong Zhanglong let out a cold snort.

"I don't care. If you don't accompany me through a couple of moves today, then don't bother reading these books; stay here and wash the beast dens for me."

An awkward smile flashed across Xu Nian'an's face, and then he slowly put away his sense of contempt.

"Elder Gong, since you insist, then there's no other way; this disciple can only ask for your guidance for a few moves."

Seeing Xu Nian'an put away the smile on his face, Gong Zhanglong got excited.

"Fine, don't say I'm bullying you. I won't use my martial soul or soul rings; as long as you can force me to release my martial soul, that's it."

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an's eyes lit up. Just need to make Gong Zhanglong release his martial soul and soul rings?

Originally, Xu Nian'an was prepared to be slightly serious—by a billion points—and show his true strength.

But after hearing Gong Zhanglong's bold words, Xu Nian'an smiled.

It seems there's no need to show his full strength, just a tiny bit will do.

"Since that's the case, then Beast Elder, excuse me."

Hum~!

As a hum of soul power came from Xu Nian'an's entire body, purple, purple, and black—three soul rings slowly descended.

Just when Gong Zhanglong thought Xu Nian'an had finished releasing his soul rings, the temperature of the entire Beast Arena changed.

Small snow slowly began to fall from the sky.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

Waves of cold wind blew down, and Gong Zhanglong felt the flames on his body slowly shrink, until finally, they were extinguished.

"Hiss~"

Perhaps because Gong Zhanglong was a fire-type Soul Master, he was more sensitive to the cold than ordinary people, not to mention he was closest to Xu Nian'an; he couldn't help but shudder instantly.

Awoo~ Oooo!!!!

The next second, amidst the light snow and vast cold air, a roar from the ice mountains that seemed to shatter the mountains and seas instantly resounded.

Bang!

Thump, thump, thump!!!

Gong Zhanglong retreated a few steps violently, along with the teachers beside him who were watching the show and preparing to intervene if the timing was bad.

As for the students behind, it was even worse; hearing this roar that clearly came from an unusual soul beast, they instantly froze in place, their eyes dull, and their lower bodies felt a chill.

The fear engraved in human DNA began to tremble.

Hum~~~ Hum, hum, hum!!!

The next instant, above Xu Nian'an's two purple soul rings and the huge black soul ring, a blood-red soul ring slowly appeared.

Bang, bang, bang!!!!

The moment this blood-red soul ring appeared, a series of bang, bang, bang sounds, like the opening of a pulse gate, rang out.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—nine soul rings appeared on Gong Zhanglong's body. At this moment, he widened his eyes, feeling the massive pressure of the hundred-thousand-year soul beast on Xu Nian'an, and froze in place.

His mouth kept opening and closing, emitting "aba aba" sounds.

"Red... a red hundred-thousand-year soul ring, this... how is this possible!!!"

Gulp~

Gulp~

A large wave of swallowing sounds came from the scene.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—eight soul rings spun wildly on the body of the Martial Soul Department Director, Du Weilun.

If even a Titled Douluo like Gong Zhanglong couldn't help but release his martial soul and soul rings, let alone the other teachers and students.

Looking at Xu Nian'an's soul ring configuration of two purple, one black, and one red, they were completely stunned in place.

"Hehe, Beast Elder, I won."

Xu Nian'an quickly retracted his soul rings and turned to run. Why wouldn't he run while Gong Zhanglong hadn't reacted yet? Otherwise, he'd be pulled over to be asked this and that in a moment.

What's more, once a hundred-thousand-year soul ring was released, the soul beasts in the Great Beast Arena all suffered; let alone the subsequent upgrade assessment.

Within two days, the small beasts under ten thousand years would be lucky if they could recover to normal bowel movements and eat.

After half an hour of restoring order, nearly a hundred students returned to the dormitory to change their pants, and the examiner began to read names.

"Tang Ya!"

"May I ask what age of soul beast you choose to challenge?"

Hearing this, Tang Ya didn't hesitate in the slightest and decisively chose thousand-year.

"I choose a thousand-year soul beast."

The Tang Sect disciples were all so excellent; thinking of Xu Nian'an's powerful and imposing back, as the Sect Master, how could she be weaker than others?

Crack, rumble~

But when the iron door opened, everyone was directly dumbfounded.

They only saw a thousand-year Skin-Shedding Snake currently curled up in a ball in terror, covered from head to toe in its own excrement, and it even directly prolapsed its anus, performing a molting on the spot.

The afternoon assessment was canceled and rescheduled for a few days later.

Du Weilun hurriedly explained a few words and left.

Dean's Office.

After leaving the Great Beast Arena, Du Weilun came straight here and hurriedly told Yan Shaozhe everything Xu Nian'an had done in the Great Beast Arena.

"What!"

"You said that brat Xu Nian'an possesses a fourth ring, and it's a red hundred-thousand-year soul ring???"

Yan Shaozhe widened his eyes, his head buzzing, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Du Weilun nodded solemnly.

Inside Ma Xiaotao's house, after leaving the Great Beast Arena, Xu Nian'an took Hu Niu and Xiong Er home.

Originally thinking it would be another plain and simple day, he had just finished cooking and was preparing to eat.

Crack~

A crisp sound of the door opening rang out.

Xu Nian'an looked up in confusion, and the next instant, a familiar figure threw herself into his arms.

"Nian'an!!!"

Familiar fragrance; Xu Nian'an pinched her.

"You've gotten thinner."

Clinging tightly to Xu Nian'an, Ma Xiaotao buried her head deeply into Xu Nian'an's chest.

"You can say that again, this month has starved me thin. A lot of things happened during the Inner Court assessment these past few months, I'll tell you about it tonight, but for now..."

Ma Xiaotao pressed Xu Nian'an onto the chair.

"Ahem."

Knock, knock!!

Du Weilun stood awkwardly at the door and knocked.

"I just saw the door wasn't closed, and also, I'm here to tell you, Dean Yan is looking for you, Xu Nian'an."
