Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

The old man was dressed in tattered clothes, looked drunk, and walked unsteadily. He had a wine jug in his left hand and a chicken leg in his right. He looked like a beggar on the street... well, slightly better off than a beggar.

Everyone here was seeing Xuanzi for the first time, and they were all whispering and discussing among themselves.

In a sacred place like Shrek Academy, the sudden appearance of a beggar-like creature naturally aroused curiosity among everyone.

"What kind of drunkard is this? How did he sneak into Shrek Academy?" Dai Huabin thought to himself, clearly looking down on Xuanzi.

"Master Xuan, you are here."

Wang Yan quickly stepped forward, his face full of respect.

The other teachers who followed also wore respectful expressions.

Upon seeing this, the students immediately realized that this disheveled old man was actually a big shot in the academy. They all became solemn and alert, fearing that this was also part of the assessment.

"Xiao Yan, is everyone here?"

Xuanzi ignored the others and focused his gaze on Wang Yan.

"Yes, everyone's here!"

Wang Yan quickly spoke up.

"Ah."

Xuanzi nodded and then stood in front of the group of students.

As Xuanzi slowly straightened up, a faint but powerful aura emanated from him. Although it wasn't very strong, all the students tensed up upon feeling it, as if they were being stared at by a terrifying beast, and a sense of fear inexplicably arose in their hearts towards Xuanzi.

"You little guys should all know the purpose of this trip."

Xuanzi slowly spoke: "This assessment is very simple. It's a free-for-all with no rules. Anyone who concedes defeat or is rescued will be eliminated. The seven remaining will be the winners of this assessment. When I say 'start,' the assessment will begin."

"What?"

"A mass brawl?"

"No... isn't this a bit too hasty?"

"What if I defeat my opponent and then get ambushed?"

"Damn it, this isn't fair!"

Upon hearing this, the students erupted in uproar.

Clearly, no one had ever heard of such an assessment method.

Especially those senior Soul Masters, they are strong and will definitely be surrounded and attacked. Isn't this a losing proposition?

"The assessment begins!"

Xuanzi ignored everyone and announced the start of the battle before anyone was ready.

But his own figure vanished from the spot in an instant, like a ghost.

Wang Yan and the other teachers had already retreated to the edge of the field, ready to provide assistance at any moment.

After all, in these kinds of fights, some students don't know their own strength, and if they accidentally kill a classmate, it would be a very serious loss.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The moment Xuanzi announced the end of the battle, everyone distanced themselves from the others.

Some classmates who knew each other paired up and stood back to back to avoid being attacked by others.

Among them, the fastest were undoubtedly the six figures. As if they had practiced countless times, they instantly converged in the chaotic crowd with astonishing speed and tacit understanding!

It was Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, Wu Feng, and Ning Tian!
They stood back to back, forming a close-knit, well-rounded group that excelled in both offense and defense.

Of course, Ye Chen did not reveal the content of the assessment in advance. However, with the development of the Tang Sect and Ye Chen's mediation, the six of them had long regarded each other as their sisters.

At this moment, their coordination was naturally incredibly smooth.

As soon as the six people stood still, their powerful aura spread out like an invisible barrier, and the surrounding air seemed to become heavier.

Their equipment was clearly different from that of the other trainees.

Although they were wearing Shrek Academy's standard uniform, a closer look revealed that all their bracelets, rings, boots, and earrings were brimming with soul power, clearly indicating that they were all soul tools.

Even the arms and knees were adorned with exquisite protective gear that shimmered with a subtle metallic sheen, and hidden within the gear were more than a dozen super-sized baby bottles...

Of course, what's most impressive is their strength.

Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Wu Feng, and Ning Tian all had four spirit rings behind them, shimmering with dazzling light.

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya, on the other hand, had five spirit rings behind them! The terrifying ten-thousand-year spirit rings emitted a pressure that directly shocked everyone present.

The air around them seemed to freeze, and the other trainees subconsciously stepped back, not daring to approach this "iron plate" that exuded a dangerous aura.

"Damn! How come these six people are all in cahoots?!"

"The password? And there are two more Soul Kings? Is this even fair?!"

"Aren't those Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan? How can they be so powerful? Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi have only just reached the Soul Master level..."

"Look at the other four, they're all second-year students, second-year Soul Masters, this is absolutely outrageous!!"

Much of the students' information is kept confidential, and most people are learning about Tang Ya and the others' cultivation levels for the first time.

Especially Xie Huanyue and the others from Class 1 of the second year, they were all completely dumbfounded.

"Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, Wu Feng, why are you with the senior students..." Xie Huan Yue couldn't help but ask.

“Yeah, shouldn’t we team up against the senior students…” The Lan sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, were also somewhat stunned.

Wang Dong is the class monitor of their class.

Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Wu Feng, three powerful Soul Sect masters, are also known as the "Three Heavenly Kings" of their class.

If they joined forces, they could easily defeat the senior students. Why did Wang Dong and the others suddenly betray them?

"Xie Huanyue, I'm sorry, we've already secured six spots here. The remaining spot is up to you all."

Wang Dong shrugged and said.

She was already very strong, and being a Soul Master, she was confident that she could single-handedly sweep away all the senior students in the same realm.

With the help of Soul Kings Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya, these six spots are now completely secured.

As Wang Dong finished speaking...

It was like throwing a fire into boiling oil, instantly igniting the greed and ferocity in everyone's hearts!
After a brief moment of shock, a fifth-year Soul Cultivation student suddenly stood up, his face filled with a desperate madness, and shouted sharply, "Did you all hear that? They're going to take all six spots! What are we twenty-odd people going to do fighting for? Fight for that one spot? Rather than killing each other and only one of us survives, let's join forces and take them down! Let's steal their spots!"

"Yes! That's right!"

Immediately, someone loudly echoed, their voice brimming with inflammatory rhetoric, "There are twenty of us against six of them, are we afraid? Even if they're strong, they have their limits! If we eliminate them, we'll have six spots available!"

"Wang Dong, I'm sorry, the spot is more important!"

Xie Huanyue spoke slowly, his body radiating intense fighting spirit.

“Class monitor, you’re asking for too much, there’s nothing we can do…” Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo also spoke in unison.

Although the others didn't speak, their positions changed, and they surrounded Wang Dong and the others.

"superior--"

Someone shouted, though it was unclear who it was.

"Boom——"

The next moment, a fireball engulfed in flames burst forth from a senior student and crashed into Wang Dong's team.

In an instant, the battle began!
It was like igniting a powder keg!

"Boom——"

The fireball exploded instantly, and the scorching airwaves tore through the stagnant air. Wang Dong's team of six was scattered as they tried to avoid the fireball.

"Xiaoya! Come to our side!" Amid the chaos, Beibei's anxious shouts rang out, his eyes filled with urgency and concern, clearly wanting to protect Tang Ya.

"Nannan! I'll protect you!"

Xu Sanshi shouted even louder, his face full of "deep affection and loyalty," but a hint of calculation was hidden deep in his eyes.

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya are Soul Kings, so following their team, advancing to the next level is almost a certainty!
As he shouted, he and Beibei rushed toward the six-person circle at the same time.

"Beibei, I am the Soul King! You've only just advanced to Soul Grandmaster, don't drag me down!" Tang Ya's voice was cold and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

She didn't even glance at Beibei. A blue silver grass vine with fine black veins suddenly shot out like a venomous snake, lashing out fiercely at Beibei with a piercing sound!

"Whoosh-"

The blue silver vines moved extremely fast, even making a whooshing sound as they cut through the air. Black patterns flowed across their surface, carrying a strange, devouring aura.
