Chapter 105: Pathological Enthusiasm

"I... lost?"

Lei Jianting looked at himself, then looked around, and finally looked up at the arena above.

A look of utter bewilderment.

Likewise, the students watching all around were equally bewildered, as was the teacher, Bai Ping, on the referee's platform.

Everything that had just happened passed in a flash; even he had not seen clearly what exactly had occurred.

The next second, Lei Jianting had already been sent off the arena.

At this moment, Zhou Chu's figure appeared on the arena once again, the Silence Blade in his hand seemingly still stained with a trace of faint red Soul Power aura.

These red auras were the blood-colored residue inherent to Lei Jianting's own Soul Profession.

In an instant, the entire plaza fell into a deathly silence.

While people were shocked that Lei Jianting had been sent off the arena, they also had not reacted at all to what had actually happened.

The first to come to his senses was the teacher from the Dormitory Management Department, Bai Ping.

His brows twitched violently, and he said in a voice of disbelief: "Instant transmission? A one-hit kill?"

Immediately after, he furrowed his brows even tighter, looking with a grave expression at Zhou Chu, who was covered in solemn killing intent on the arena.

According to the contestant information, Zhou Chu's Soul Profession was the summoning-type Necromancer, and its grade was the lowest, only F-Grade.

Yet, based on the two moves Zhou Chu had just shown, it did not look like a summoning-type Soul Profession at all; rather, it looked more like an Assassin-type Soul Profession.

What made him even more unable to believe it was that a First Turn freshman had actually killed a Third Turn senior in one hit; it was simply incredible.

Could it be that this freshman had actually bound a Dual Soul Profession?

Bai Ping could not help but gasp.

In the history of Shenxia, cases of binding a Dual Soul Profession did exist, mostly appearing in records of archival collections.

Generally speaking, it was relatively common to bind a life-type Soul Profession while simultaneously binding a Combat Soul Profession.

Although such occurrences were few and far between, they had indeed happened.

Moreover, due to the binding of a Dual Soul Profession, the grade of the Combat Soul Profession, as the primary soul profession, would inevitably be dragged down significantly.

Therefore, a Soul Professional who had bound a Dual Soul Profession was generally not stronger than others who had bound only one Combat Soul Profession.

Based on his own research and the numerous documents he had read in the past, Bai Ping felt that the possibility of Zhou Chu having bound a Dual Soul Profession was the highest.

After all, Zhou Chu's Necromancer was only the lowest F-Grade.

He was able to speculate that the possibility of Zhou Chu having bound a Dual Soul Profession was even greater.

Perhaps it was precisely because of binding a Dual Soul Profession that the grade of the Necromancer soul profession had been greatly dragged down.

To be honest, this was also the first time Bai Ping had seen an F-Grade among Combat Soul Professions.

He truly could not imagine how pathetic an F-Grade combat soul profession could be.

But if this were really the case, then the other soul profession must also be of the combat type.

Because in the book "Soul Profession System Archives," there were also some records of binding dual combat soul professions.

Although the probability was a meager one in ten million, Bai Ping believed that Zhou Chu was that lucky one in ten million.

In the few hundred years since the development of the Soul Profession System, with the constant proliferation and evolution of soul professions, any subtle change was highly likely to happen and was also an extremely important discovery.

Thinking of this, the shock on Bai Ping's face instantly turned into excitement; he wished he could take this freshman to the laboratory right now and use various instruments to study him thoroughly.

Although he was only a teacher responsible for managing student dormitories, he was actually a scholar with a deep passion for researching the Soul Profession System.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe this passion as pathological.

In order to end this meaningless dormitory battle as soon as possible, Bai Ping immediately announced Zhou Chu as the winner.

Faced with this verdict, although the surrounding crowd was mostly full of controversy, they could not say much about the final judgment made by the teacher, Bai Ping.

After all, seeing is believing.

Lei Jianting had indeed arrived under the arena, while Zhou Chu was still standing on the arena.

"You five, do you still want to come up and challenge me?"

Seeing that there were still 5 S-Grade geniuses from Daxia City in the contestant team, Bai Ping asked one more question.

These five people looked at each other, their eyes all revealing a hint of eagerness to try.

Previously in the Peak Secret Realm, although Zhou Chu was also unshakable, the main reason they were defeated in the end had to do with that terrifying freezing spell.

"Leng Jian, what do you think?"

Although Lan Ya was the leader of the team, whenever she could not make up her mind, she would still seek his opinion.

There was still not a ripple on Leng Jian's face; after a moment of silence, he just shook his head slightly, but did not say a word.

Seeing Leng Jian's response, Lan Ya could not help but frown slightly.

To be honest, although they had been fighting side by side for so long, she still could not understand Leng Jian's true thoughts.

What did just shaking his head mean?

Giving up?

Not competing anymore?

"Captain, why don't we give it a try? How would we know without trying?" At this time, Yuan Wei said weakly.

None of these five people had made up their minds, but it was Yuan Wei, who was usually the most timid, who voiced his thoughts.

"Yo, I can't tell, huh? Usually, your courage is smaller than a mouse's, but I didn't expect you to be tough at a time like this."

"Fine, just for those words of yours, I, Bai Fei, am the first to agree to compete with that kid again!"

The Chaos Elementalist Bai Fei then patted his chest with a thumping sound.

The priest Min Ye nodded, his face full of disgust as he said: "I don't want to live in that eight-person room full of the smell of foot odor."

"Then are we going up one by one, or all together?" Yuan Wei then asked another more serious question.

"Of course we go up together. I think this kid Zhou Chu is quite sinister; you can't talk about martial virtue when dealing with someone like this!" Bai Fei immediately chimed in.

Min Ye, however, frowned and said, "But there is only one single room; if we win against Zhou Chu, wouldn't we have to kill each other?"

"Exactly, exactly, it's impossible for the five of us to live in a single room together, right?" Yuan Wei nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Bai Fei couldn't help but slap the back of Yuan Wei's neck again and said irritably, "Don't you know about ladies first? When the time comes, we four men can just withdraw from the competition and leave the single room to Captain alone, wouldn't that be fine?"

"Ha, that's right!" Yuan Wei agreed.

"Sigh, it seems I cannot escape the fate of living in an eight-person room!" Min Ye looked utterly hopeless.

Just as the five of them had made up their minds to compete with Zhou Chu, Bai Ping's voice suddenly came through.

"Competition time is up! You five did not ascend the arena within the stipulated time, so it is specially determined that you have voluntarily forfeited the match."

"The winner this time is Zhou Chu; if you five want to compete for a good dormitory, come back next year!"
