The afternoon sunlight bathed the earth, the golden glow warming every corner of Shrek Academy.
After the Freshman Evaluation, the top 150 teams were allowed to continue their studies at Shrek Academy, totaling 450 first-year students. They followed their class advisors to the outer courtyard's Soul Duel Arena.
Basking in the warm sunlight, the students felt the beauty and tranquility of life. In the first- year Class One team, Wang Dong squinted his eyes. As a Light Soul Master, he loved basking in the sun, and his face was filled with contentment.
"So comfortable- By the way, are all the first-year students here? Is the academy giving us a big class?"
"Soul Duel Arena... Could it be a practical class?" Huo Yuhao speculated.
"Class leader, class leader!"
Xiao Xiao suddenly grabbed Huo Yuhao's sleeve, nodding her head in a certain direction and whispered, "Look at them!"
Huo Yuhao followed her gaze and saw Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Xie Huanyue, Wu Feng, and others, who had been defeated by them in the Freshman Evaluation, clenching their fists. They clearly realized it was a practical class and were eager to avenge their defeat!
"Hmph!"
Dai Huabin's eyes gleamed with a cold light, and Huo Yuhao glared back without backing down. The victory in the final match against Dai Huabin had brought him to the peak of both his mindset and combat strength!
"Quiet!"
Du Weilun appeared on the high platform, flanked by all the first-year class advisors and subject teachers. His voice drowned out the noise of the 450 students in the Soul Duel Arena, drawing everyone's attention to him.
Du Weilun scanned the crowd, his authority as the head of the Soul Master Department fully displayed, and he said solemnly, "Students, today is the first day you officially become Shrek first-year students! According to tradition, I should give you a speech, but this year, I don't want to do that. Instead, I want to give you a vivid lesson to show you the difference between ordinary geniuses and monsters!"
"Huh?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"What does Director Du mean?"
"Geniuses and monsters?"
"We are monsters!"
Whispers spread through the crowd. Even Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin were momentarily stunned. Yes, they were indeed the monsters everyone looked up to!
"Ling Bai!"
Du Weilun clapped his hands, and a figure in a red Shrek Inner Academy uniform slowly stepped forward, standing proudly in front of the first-year students.
"What is he doing here?"
Wu Feng's jaw dropped, while Ning Tian remained inscrutable. To achieve the desired effect, Ling Bai and Du Weilun had not revealed their plan to anyone.
"It's him..."
Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious, dispelling any inappropriate emotions. He had witnessed Ling Bai's abilities firsthand and knew how terrifying he was!
"Wow! An Inner Academy senior, super handsome! Wang Dong, you're not the most handsome guy in the academy anymore!"
The moment Ling Bai appeared, Xiao Xiao's eyes sparkled, echoing the thoughts of many students. If Wang Dong was stunningly handsome, Ling Bai was breathtakingly beautiful, with a charm that could captivate both men and women. His years of pampered life in the Nine Treasures Flowing Jade Sect and the natural light and holiness of the Six-Winged Angel soul beast attracted the attention of many innocent girls and some peculiar guys.
"Wang Dong! Wang Dong!"
Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao noticed Wang Dong's unusual behavior and shook him to bring him back to his senses.
"Are you okay?" they asked with concern.
"I'm fine..." Wang Dong shook his head.
Xiao Xiao patted her flat chest, still shaken, and said, "Your expression was so scary just now. I was afraid you'd eat Senior Ling Bai!"
"I don't know what happened."
Wang Dong lowered his eyes, his long lashes casting a shadow on his handsome face. He looked confused, "The moment I saw him, I suddenly felt an instinctive discomfort, as if there was a bloodline in me that was hostile to him. I really wanted to stab him with a thousand transparent holes."
"Ah?"
Xiao Xiao covered her mouth, her eyes wide with shock, "The animosity between handsome guys is so terrifying!"
Wang Dong rolled his eyes at her. It was nothing like that!
To be fair, he believed his looks surpassed Ling Bai's by a mile. Those female students just didn't know what they were missing!
Du Weilun ignored the ridiculous thoughts of the students and continued, "Let me introduce Ling Bai to you. He is eleven years old, a Four-Ringed Soul Master, and a first-year student at
the Inner Academy!
Don't doubt what you heard. I'll repeat it: an eleven-year-old Four-Ringed Inner Academy student who bypassed the six years of study at the Outer Academy and passed the Inner Academy examination with overwhelming strength!
Your task for this afternoon is simple: use any means necessary to defeat him!
Those who remain on the field after defeating him, regardless of how many, will automatically be promoted to Core Disciples of the Outer Academy!"
"My God!!! Director Du has gone mad!"
The sudden uproar nearly shook the entire Soul Duel Arena! The innocent first-year students instantly went wild!
The Core Disciple of the Outer Academy position was extremely rare. Even Huo Yuhao, a member of the Freshman Evaluation champion team, only enjoyed the benefits of a core disciple, far from being a true core disciple.
Now, Director Du told them that if they defeated Ling Bai, everyone left on the field would
become core disciples!?
Has Director Du had too much to drink!?
That was the only explanation the first-year students could find!
They were all the same age, and Ling Bai, being an Inner Academy student, was naturally acknowledged as superior. However, with 450 students, they could overwhelm him with sheer
numbers, each using a soul skill!
"Director, should we fight him one-on-one or all together?"
A smart student raised his hand and asked. There was a huge difference between a one-on-
one fight and a group attack!
"It's the same."
Ling Bai smiled kindly and said, "If all of you attack me together, it's the same as me fighting
all of you individually."
"Boom-"
The 450 students erupted in excitement!
"Arrogant!"
"Director, please, let's start!"
"I want to beat him!"
"My great sword is thirsty!"
"Brothers, remember to aim for his face!"
The calls to attack Ling Bai grew louder, the waves of sound rising higher and higher!
Seeing this, Du Weilun nodded in satisfaction. Young minds were indeed quick to react, and
this kind of direct provocation was far more effective than harsh criticism!
The
