Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Time flies, and the entrance exam for higher education is just around the corner.

The assessment was held in a specially designated arena within the academy, used for sparring with spirit beasts and isolated by a powerful spirit guide shield.

The terrain here is open enough to accommodate Soul Masters and large Soul Beasts in battle. There are observation platforms around it to facilitate the instructors' scoring, and it also allows some senior students and certain uninvited big shots to watch.

At this moment, a large number of people have gathered around the testing site.

Aside from the senior inner court instructors responsible for supervising the scoring, and some elite senior students who were granted special permission to observe, the most eye-catching figure was the imposing figure standing on the high platform like an iron tower.

He was dressed in a simple gray outfit, his muscles bulging out of his clothes, his square face with its strong lines, and his tiger-like eyes gleaming with a sharp light, exuding an imposing aura.

Just by standing there, he exuded a suffocatingly fierce aura, as if he himself were a humanoid beast.

It was none other than Gong Changlong, the authority on soul beast research at Shrek Academy, known as the "Beast King"!
This person usually lives a secluded life, devoted to researching and taming soul beasts, and rarely appears at such assessment sites for lower-grade students.

He came today simply because he heard that some arrogant little brat had made outrageous remarks in the cafeteria, challenging a 30,000-year-old bloodthirsty bear as a test for college entrance.

However, what he never expected was...

This time, the challenger is none other than Dai Yuntian!

Elder Gong has heard of his great name more than once this year.

However, because he only focused on the research of soul beasts, he was basically known by name but never actually met.

"Hmph, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

Gong Changlong crossed his thick arms and slowly scanned the students below who were preparing, finally fixing his gaze on the tall, slender, and calm-looking black-haired boy.

Dai Yuntian.

"Dean Yan is being ridiculous. He actually dared to approve such an absurd application! A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, is that something a bunch of brats can touch? If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"

Gong Changlong complained to one of the instructors accompanying him, his tone sharp.

He was quite critical of Yan Shaozhe's approval of Dai Yuntian's application, believing it to be irresponsible towards the students' lives and a disregard for the power of soul beasts.

The mentor beside him could only smile awkwardly, not daring to respond, but secretly he thought to himself, "Isn't it because that kid Dai Yuntian is too monstrous? Dean Yan also wants to see where his limits are. Besides, with you, the 'Beast King,' in charge, if something really goes wrong, can you just stand by and do nothing?"

At this moment, the assessment has entered its second half.

The performances of the first few students were mediocre, with most of them challenging soul beasts that were around 500 to 800 years old.

The battle was thrilling but ultimately harmless, showcasing the level expected of normal Shrek Academy students, but only to the extent of being "good," without causing much of a stir.

Until the instructor presiding over the assessment loudly announced: "Next round, Dai Yuntian! Choose your own assessment target: a Bloodthirsty Berserker Bear with 30,000 years of cultivation!"

"Wow——!"

The moment the words were spoken, the entire room erupted in an uproar!
Although the rumors that "Dai Yuntian is going to challenge a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast" had already spread throughout the outer academy, the impact of this crazy choice being officially announced was still unparalleled.

"Thirty thousand years? And it's a bloodthirsty mad bear!"

"My God, it really is a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast! Isn't he afraid of getting into trouble?"

"A Bloodthirsty Berserker Bear! That thing has thick skin and flesh, immense strength, and it goes berserk when injured. It's one of the most troublesome soul beasts of the same level."

"Brother Yuntian, are you going to defy the heavens? Is he really just a Soul King?"

"Even Elder Gong has come in person, it seems the academy also attaches great importance to this assessment..."

"It's more than just taking it seriously; I think it's to keep things under control in case something goes wrong. After all, this is a Bloodthirsty Berserker Bear, second only to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear among bear-type soul beasts." Discussions rose like a tide, and everyone's eyes were focused on Dai Yuntian, who slowly walked into the center of the arena.

There was shock, doubt, and worry, but more than anything, there was unbelievable excitement and anticipation.

After all, for a Soul King to fight a 30,000-year-old Soul Beast is unprecedented in the entire history.

Perhaps, everyone present will become a witness to history!
On the high platform, Gong Changlong's brows furrowed into a deep frown as he stared intently at Dai Yuntian and said in a deep voice, "Kid, it's not too late to regret it now. With your strength, you could easily get the highest rating if you were to choose another ten-thousand-year-old soul beast."

"The Bloodthirsty Berserker Bear is no ordinary creature. Once it goes berserk, it will fight to the death. Even I need to put in some effort to subdue it. If you quit now, no one will laugh at you."

Dai Yuntian stopped and looked up at Gong Changlong on the high platform.

His face remained expressionless; he simply nodded slightly in the direction of Gong Changlong as a form of respect, and then calmly uttered four words:
"Thank you for reminding."

His tone was so flat, it was as if he were saying, "The weather is nice today."

Gong Changlong was momentarily speechless at his attitude. A hint of anger flashed in his tiger-like eyes, but more so, curiosity and admiration.

Good lad, you're pretty arrogant!

He wanted to see what this brat had to rely on to be so arrogant.

"Since you insist, let's begin. Remember, if you are no match for me, immediately shout that you surrender, and I will intervene!"

Gong Changlong stopped trying to dissuade him.

He wanted to see just how powerful this monster, who was rumored to be so miraculous, really was.

"Prepare! Release the assessment spirit beast!"

The host announced loudly, his voice tinged with nervousness.

Accompanied by the heavy sound of the iron gate opening and a deafening, violent roar.

A chilling, malevolent aura instantly spread out.

A colossal creature slowly emerged from the special soul beast cage.

It stands over five meters tall, and nearly eight meters tall when standing upright. Its body is covered with dark red hair like steel needles, and its muscles bulge, exuding explosive power.

A pair of scarlet eyes were filled with a savage and murderous aura, and the ground trembled slightly with each stomp of its huge paws.

It dripped foul-smelling saliva from its mouth, and its sharp claws gleamed coldly.

"Roar--!!"

As soon as the Bloodthirsty Bear appeared, it sensed the presence of many humans around it, which instantly aroused its ferocity.

It stood up and roared again, the sound waves rolling so loudly that some students with lower cultivation levels felt pain in their eardrums and their faces turned pale.

The terrifying ferocity was unleashed without reservation, causing the observers on the sidelines to hold their breath and sweat involuntarily bead on their foreheads.

This is the power of a top-tier ten-thousand-year-old soul beast!

Just standing there is enough to shatter the hearts of countless Soul Masters!
At that moment, almost all the spectators held their breath, nervously looking at the black-haired boy in the center of the field who appeared particularly "tiny" against the backdrop of the bloodthirsty bear.

They no longer believed Dai Yuntian could win, nor did they anticipate the upcoming battle; in fact, they were almost afraid to watch any longer. (End of Chapter)
