Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

Chapter 96: Coming to challenge them? They can't possibly be stronger than Xie Yue, can they?

What the hell!

This boy looks somewhat like Hu Liena!

Generally speaking, if Yan sees a stranger who is several times more handsome than him next to the person he likes, he will definitely feel dissatisfied and then start picking fights without thinking.

Hu Bai originally thought that some melodramatic plot twists would occur.

But clearly, he was overthinking it.

Although this is a world of romance, he and Hu Liena are still twins. Although they have slightly different temperaments due to their different cultivation paths, they are not unrecognizable because they are related by blood!

"Nana, who is this?" Yan decided to hold back for now. For a moment, when he looked at Hu Bai, he felt like he was about to be turned gay.

This instantly put his mind on high alert!
Hu Liena frowned: "This is my twin brother. And Yan, we're not that close, so don't call me Nana! Please call me Hu Liena!"

Twin brother?
Yan suddenly realized why the two looked so alike!

However, if he is the twin brother, why has he never been to the academy before?

Hu Bai explained, "I've been cultivating alongside my teacher. To be honest, I'm here to gain experience. You're all strong contenders for the Purple Record Medal, right? So, I'm here to challenge you."

These words immediately caught the attention of everyone in the top-performing class.

A challenge?

What a fresh and novel term!
Meanwhile, their teacher arrived late, having already received word that the Pope's three disciples were coming today.

This made him very excited.

He had met Hu Liena and Xie Yue before, but unfortunately he hadn't met the most crucial one.

That person was the one who discovered the effects of whale gelatin!
The reason the academy established this elite class was largely due to the emergence of whale glue!
"Hello, teacher." Hu Liena and Xie Yue greeted the old man who had come over politely.

After Xie Yue finished speaking, he introduced Hu Bai: "Second brother, this is Teacher Zhou, the head teacher of the elite class. He is a Soul Douluo powerhouse and one of the most powerful scholars in the academy."

Teaching a top-performing class well is no easy task. After all, this is where the most talented people in the academy gather. If a teacher's skills are not high enough, it will be difficult to gain genuine recognition.

As a homeroom teacher, one must not only be highly capable but also possess sufficient theoretical knowledge in order to set a good example.

"Hello, Teacher Zhou." Hu Bai nodded slightly.

The old man smiled and said, "Alright, I know why you three came here today. Come in first. You must be Hu Bai. To have achieved so much at such a young age is a blessing to our Spirit Hall!"

Upon hearing this, the students' expressions changed slightly. Their homeroom teacher was praising Hu Bai so highly!

He's usually very serious and doesn't smile much!
Students around Hu Bai's age frowned, while those with Soul Master and Soul Sect strength only showed slight changes in expression.

They had just heard it too. Since Hu Bai was Hu Liena's twin brother, his strength should be about the same as Hu Liena's. He was a beginner-level Great Soul Master and nothing to be afraid of!
Hu Liena has only just returned with her second spirit ring, so Hu Bai's cultivation level can't be much higher. Surely he can't be stronger than Xie Yue?

After the old man led the three inside, he clapped his hands, and the classroom instantly fell silent.

"I won't go into too much detail about Hu Liena and Xie Yue, you all knew them when I came last time. And the person next to them is the most talented person in our academy, and also His Holiness the Pope's first disciple, with innate full soul power."

"The three of them came here today to challenge you. Soon they'll be going out on a mission for training, and they're all candidates for the Purple Record Medal, so... you understand." "Furthermore, His Holiness the Pope said that whoever among you can defeat Hu Bai will be rewarded with a palm-sized piece of fresh, ten-thousand-year-old whale glue!"

Hu Bai: ? ? ?
Upon hearing this, all eyes in the top class fell on Hu Bai, the fresh, ten-thousand-year-old whale jelly!

This is incredible!
You should know that the whale gelatin they consumed before was from hundreds or thousands of years old, with a mix of fresh and stale ones. Not to mention the ten-thousand-year-old ones, which had to be exchanged for by spending money, but the price was ridiculously high.

Some of the Soul Masters in the class looked at Hu Bai with eyes gleaming like hungry wolves. If they could obtain such a piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue, the age of their next Soul Ring could be greatly reduced to ten thousand years!
As for why it's not ten thousand years...

Because the ten-thousand-year soul ring contained the resentment of a soul beast, they dared not take the risk.

This is common sense; the teachers have told them this beforehand, and even warned them about it in their daily teaching!

Some talented students actually reached the physical standard to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring at level forty, but unfortunately, their mental strength was insufficient.

Unless it's a spirit-type martial soul where the growth of spiritual power is greater than that of soul power, the fourth ring cannot be ten thousand years old!
Xie Yue said in a low voice, "Second brother, it seems that our teacher has high expectations for you."

Hu Bai smiled helplessly: "This is to motivate them and also to put pressure on me. If I really lose, I don't know what kind of punishment I will receive."

Although Hu Bai said this, he didn't really believe he would lose.

There are no Soul King level experts in the elite class. He has two extreme attributes, so how can he not fight against opponents of higher levels?

If he can lose at this, then he's just too bad!

Hu Liena covered her mouth and chuckled to herself, thinking that there was going to be a good show to watch.

Hu Liena was clearly too happy too soon; what Teacher Zhou said next left her stunned.

"Furthermore, if any of you can defeat Xie Yue and Hu Liena with a soul power difference of no more than ten levels, you will receive eight-thousand-year-old and five-thousand-year-old whale glue respectively."

Hu Liena:
"Hahaha—" Hu Bai chuckled softly, looking at Hu Liena: "Serves you right for laughing at me just now."

Hu Liena pouted and huffed, "Hmph! Fine, I'll fight then!"

Hu Liena's naturally alluring appearance, without using any soul power, directly captured the hearts of many in the top class; she was simply a fairy!

Even without releasing her martial spirit, her pure and innocent appearance could easily arouse the desires in a boy's heart.

Of course, many people also think that Hu Bai is also a fairy, and even that Hu Bai's charm is greater than Hu Liena's.

What's even more terrifying is that among these "many people," there were actually several men!

"Don't worry, Nana, I'll protect you later!" Yan patted his chest confidently, even glancing around the class.

But clearly, the allure of whale glue cannot be erased by Yan's warnings alone.

"Sorry, I don't need your protection," Hu Liena said coldly, feeling that Yan's words were an insult to her.

Don't be fooled by the fact that she keeps getting the short end of the stick from Hu Bai. It's because she's being restrained and can't show her true potential. But if it were someone else, she could really bring out her strengths!

P.S.: This is the second update today. I had a stiff neck yesterday, which put pressure on my nerves, and my head is still dizzy.
Tomorrow's update will most likely be in the afternoon, not early morning.
