Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King

Wu Changkong glanced at him. "Just the three of you."

"Yes."

The afternoon classes passed quickly. Perhaps because the students in the junior class had been feeling depressed for a week due to the typhoon, a large number of students, including teachers, gathered on the playground as soon as school ended today, all waiting to watch the last promotion match for the first grade.

"Have you heard? This year's promotion tournament is really bizarre! Class 5 of Grade 1, which was at the bottom, has actually made great strides and won three games in a row. Maybe this dark horse can stay dark all the way."

"Stop dreaming. Do you know how terrifying this year's Class 1 of freshmen is? Being hailed as the strongest freshman class in history isn't just a casual remark. Three of their students are already at the level of two-ring Great Soul Masters, and more importantly, their Martial Souls are extremely powerful. The four participating students from Class 5 of the first year are only at the one-ring level. That's a qualitative difference. They're just one Soul Skill short, and their Soul Power is also lacking. They have no chance at all. I'd like to see how far this year's Class 1 of freshmen can go in the upcoming promotion competition. I heard that all the classes in the second year are feeling the pressure. Hehe."

The students were discussing it amongst themselves, and the teachers who had come to the perimeter of the competition venue also gathered together.

Surrounded by the students of Class 5, Grade 1, Wu Changkong walked at the front, heading towards the competition stage. Behind him were Nan Fusheng, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue.

Just as Wu Changkong led Class 5 of the first year to the outer perimeter of the venue, a commotion broke out on the other side.

The students consciously made way for them.

Following behind her were none other than the students of Class 1, Grade 1, who were hailed as the strongest freshman class in many years.

The two sides gathered on opposite sides of the playing field, waiting for the promotion match to begin.

Dean of Students Long Hengxu had already stepped onto the competition stage. He first nodded to the homeroom teachers of the two classes, then said in a deep voice, "Due to the typhoon, the promotion competition has been postponed. Today's match is the fourth promotion competition, between Class 5 of Grade 1 and Class 1 of Grade 1. Class 5 of Grade 1, Ms. Wu, how many students will be representing you today?"

"Our class is going to compete today..." Just as Wu Changkong was about to name three people, a voice suddenly came from behind Class 5 of Grade 1.

"Teacher Wu, wait a minute."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Xie Xie and Gu Yue, who were standing behind Wu Changkong, couldn't help but show surprise and delight on their faces.

Pushing his way through the crowd, Tang Wulin, travel-worn and weary, ran to the front.

His appearance at this moment was truly unappealing; his hair was disheveled, his face was pale, and his breathing seemed very unstable.

"Where have you been? Why are you only arriving now?" Xie Xie asked irritably.

Tang Wulin smiled wryly and said, "It's a long story. Let's start the competition first. Teacher Wu, I'm ready to compete."

Wu Changkong looked at him expressionlessly, nodded, and then said to Long Hengxu, "Our class will send four people to compete."

Long Hengxu said, "Class 1 of Grade 1, please send four people to fight as well."

Ye Yingluo raised her head. "Okay."

Long Hengxu said, "The contestants from both sides, please enter the arena."

To the surprise of Nan Fusheng and his three companions, the formation of Class 1, Grade 1, opposite them was also the same as theirs, in a triangular shape.

"My name is Zhang Yangzi," the composed young man standing at the very front of the center said calmly.

“Wei Xiaofeng, we’ve known each other for a long time.” Standing on the left, the thin boy extended his right hand, as if he had had a conflict with Xie Xie and the others, raised his thumb, and then slowly rotated his wrist so that his thumb pointed down, making a provocative gesture.

"You!" Xie Xie was furious and impulsively rushed forward, but Tang Wulin grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back.

Xie Xie glanced at him in surprise. This guy seemed to have gotten even stronger!

“Wang Jinxi,” the emaciated student standing on the right said calmly.

"Wang Billy." The tall, dark-skinned boy standing behind the three men said cheerfully, flashing a bright white smile at Nan Fusheng and the other three.

Tang Wulin said, "Class 5, Grade 1, Tang Wulin."

"Gu Yue."

"Xie Xie!" Xie Xie's eyes flashed with cold light as he stared at Wei Xiaofeng.

"Nan Fusheng." Nan Fusheng stared curiously at Wang Billy, who was being protected by the rest of the class. He looked like a senior student, and people would believe it! Moreover, he was so tall and strong, yet he wasn't a power-attack type Soul Master.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two sides was already tense even before the match started, Long Hengxu frowned. "Let me emphasize, this is an intra-academy competition. During the match, it is only a matter of striking until the opponent is defeated. No one is allowed to intentionally hurt their opponent. Otherwise, the academy will impose additional penalties."

"Yes!" the eight replied in unison.

"Alright, get ready for the match, both sides step back." Under Long Hengxu's supervision, both sides stepped back, creating a certain distance between them.

Chapter 32 Fierce Battle

"start!"

With a loud shout from the head of the teaching department, the ultimate showdown between the first-year students finally began.

Wei Xiaofeng and Xie Xie rushed out almost simultaneously from Class 1-1 and Class 5-1, respectively. They had long disliked each other and could no longer hold back.

Two yellow spirit rings instantly appeared beneath Wei Xiaofeng's feet, while a blue light flashed around his body, and a small blue snake appeared on his shoulder.

Compared to Tang Wulin's little earth snake, Jin Guang, this snake was completely different. This little snake was entirely cyan, and had a pair of slightly transparent cyan wings on its back. Although it looked small, its aura was extremely powerful.

Even more surprisingly, Wei Xiaofeng himself seemed to have become softer, and his skin also showed a faint bluish tinge.

To become one of the best students in Class One and uphold the title of the strongest freshman class, Wei Xiaofeng was certainly no ordinary person. There were reasons why he was able to reach the second level of the environmental realm at such a young age.

His soul spirit, the Hundred-Year Azure Shadow Serpent, was found with countless efforts and money. It was perfectly compatible with him because his martial soul was the Azure Shadow Serpent. After fusing with this soul spirit, his cultivation level increased rapidly, and he skipped the process from the first ring to the second ring in a very short time.

However, a hundred-year-old soul spirit can only be equipped with two soul rings, and his improvement rate begins to slow down after level 20. Nevertheless, the foundation laid by the Azure Shadow Serpent soul spirit still makes him far superior to his peers.

Wei Xiaofeng was also an agility-based Soul Master. His body swayed from side to side as he charged forward, giving him an ethereal appearance. Although his absolute speed wasn't as fast as Xie Xie's, he appeared more agile and unpredictable.

However, to Wei Xiaofeng's surprise, two yellow spirit rings also lit up beneath Xie Xie's feet. As soon as the two spirit rings appeared, Xie Xie's aura surged instantly.

The Light Dragon Dagger in Xie Xie's hand seemed to have shrunk a bit compared to before, and the light on it had dimmed slightly. However, the Light Dragon Dagger looked more solid, and the patterns on it were clearly visible, exuding a terrifying aura.

The Second Ring Road? There's actually a student from the Second Ring Road in Class 5 of Grade 1?

Long Hengxu, who had just moved to the side, was stunned. Compared to the fact that Class 1 of the first year had three two-ring Great Soul Masters, the fact that Class 5 of the first year had one two-ring Great Soul Master was truly unprecedented in the history of Donghai Academy!

Long Hengxu felt a burning pain on his face, as if he had been slapped hard.

Wu Changkong, you are truly amazing.

Upon seeing the two rings beneath Xie Xie's feet, the students in Class 5 of Grade 1 cheered.

With a flash of light and shadow, the two drew near. Xie Xie's expression turned cold, and his body accelerated once more, transforming into a golden light that arced towards Wei Xiaofeng.

Even before the person arrived, their sharp aura already made Wei Xiaofeng feel as if his whole body was being shredded.

Such powerful soul power! He's only just broken through to the second ring, while I'm already at level twenty-two! Why is his soul power so oppressive?

Wei Xiaofeng was of course unaware that Xie Xie, who possessed twin martial souls, was always a formidable force in terms of soul power among those of the same level.

While they were about to clash, the other six were also busy.

Instead of releasing his martial spirit directly, Tang Wulin sprinted forward, heading straight for Zhang Yangzi, who was sitting in the center.

Gu Yue flashed and disappeared behind him. Like Tang Wulin's shadow, she moved with the lightness of a ghost, always following him at the same distance, despite Tang Wulin's powerful explosive force and speed, which, while not as fast as Xie Xie's.

Zhang Yangzi stood there motionless, seemingly unconcerned about Tang Wulin's frontal charge, while Wang Jinxi beside him moved.

Two yellow spirit rings appeared beneath his feet, and Wang Jinxi's thin body swelled up a bit. It wasn't his muscles that swelled up, but his bones, making him look like a large skeleton. He raised his arms, and a faint black aura burst forth from his body.

Tang Wulin remained unfazed, his arms outstretched in front of him, and with a flash of light beneath his feet, he charged straight at Wang Jinxi.

A head-on collision is something only offensive-type Soul Masters would do.

With a deep, muffled thud, the two collided. Tang Wulin's body jolted, and he stopped in his tracks, while Wang Jinxi was knocked back three steps by the impact.

Blue vines crawled along the ground, wrapping around Wang Jinxi, while Tang Wulin now held an iron hammer in each of his hands.

Facing a formidable foe, he held nothing back this time, unleashing his Thousand-Refined Silver Hammer directly.

From the clash just now, he had already realized that Wang Jinxi's martial soul was related to his own bones. Whatever your martial soul is, I can forge even rare metals, so how could I not break your bones?

"Roar!" Wang Jinxi was enraged by the impact just now. His first spirit ring lit up and the hundred-year spirit ring was released. His body underwent some strange changes again.

His entire right arm rapidly swelled, especially his hand, where five fingers became four, yet they were extremely thick, with jet-black fingernails at the tips. The enormous arm, carrying a terrifying aura, lunged straight at Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass was completely ignored by others.

Blue vines coiled upwards, but a strange scene unfolded: after Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass vines wrapped around the opponent's body, they actually detached on their own, as if Wang Jinxi's body had become illusory in that instant.

Before anyone knew it, Wang Jinxi's second spirit ring had lit up, and he used two spirit skills in quick succession.

A smile appeared on Zhang Yangzi's face. Wang Jinxi, who had unleashed two soul skills at the same time, would be extremely difficult to defeat, even for him.

You should know that Wang Jinxi's martial soul is the Bone Dragon King, a top-tier dark-type martial soul!

In terms of the quality of martial soul alone, Wei Xiaofeng is far inferior to him.

First Soul Skill: Bone Dragon Claw; Second Soul Skill: Bone Soul Conversion.

Bone-Soul Transformation allows a part of Wang Jinxi's body to transform from a physical entity into a spirit. Although it can only last for a very short time, during this process, he will be immune to all physical attacks.

Of course, with Wang Jinxi's current cultivation level, he could at most transform a quarter of his body into a spiritual body. Under his deliberate control, the part that was transformed was naturally the one that had just been entangled by the Blue Silver Grass.

Although Wang Jinxi was furious, he remained remarkably calm. Zhang Yangzi had told them before the competition not to underestimate Class 5 of the first year. The fact that this class, which was initially considered a weak class, had managed to defeat three other classes in one go meant they certainly possessed considerable skill.

Therefore, according to their battle plan, Wei Xiaofeng would take care of one of them one-on-one, while Wang Jinxi would go all out to take care of the other three, with Zhang Yangzi and Wang Billy providing backup.

After all, their goal is not their peers, but someone at a higher level. Therefore, they intend to conceal Zhang Yangzi's abilities in this competition.

Chapter 33 I Have a Big Banana

The enormous bone dragon claw had already reached Tang Wulin. When the claw was open, it was as large as Tang Wulin's entire torso.

The Bone Dragon Claw possesses dark and poisonous effects, and immense strength. Its own strength is equivalent to ten times that of Wang Jinxi's own skeleton, and its power is five times greater.

It will grow alongside Wang Jinxi. If he can cultivate to the seventh ring in the future and enter the Martial Soul True Body level, he will be able to transform himself into the Bone Dragon King and reveal the Bone Dragon True Body.
