Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 62 Freshman Assessment! (Part 8) (15)

Game start.

Zhu Ziyang and the other two immediately released their martial souls, which were still four yellow soul rings. Zhu Ziyang still did not release his martial soul.

Seeing this, a flash of anger crossed Zhou Tianhe's eyes. He felt insulted and roared to the sky. His body rapidly expanded, quickly reaching two meters tall and tearing his clothes to reveal his strong upper body. Brown hair then covered his body, a pair of fangs grew from his mouth, and his eyes enlarged, taking up half of his face. Two yellow soul rings floated behind him.

Su Li and Yang Yumeng followed closely behind. Su Li had sprouted a pair of fox ears on her forehead, and her eyes had transformed into her signature alluring fox eyes, shimmering with captivating light. She wore two yellow spirit rings behind her. Her transformation wasn't as drastic as Zhou Tianhe's. Yang Yumeng's spirit was quite unexpected; it was actually an ancient, round cauldron with two handles and three legs, about one meter tall and one meter wide. It looked rather comical in the hands of the petite girl, yet it was extremely eye-catching.

"Ali, Mengmeng, proceed according to the original plan!" Zhou Tianhe shouted, his first soul ring lit up, the gray-brown fur on his muscular body turned bright yellow, and his huge eyes also flashed with yellow soul power fluctuations as he charged towards Zhu Ziyang.

First Soul Skill, Wild Soul, increases strength by 50%!

"Okay!" Su Li and Yang Yumeng responded and also joined in.

Just as the battle between Zhu Ziyang and the others was about to break out, Yan Shaozhe, accompanied by Du Weilun and other teachers from the Foreign Academy, ascended the high platform in the assessment area. From here, they could clearly see the battles taking place in the four arenas below.

"Dean, that's Zhu Ziyang." Du Weilun stood next to Yan Shaozhe and pointed to Zhu Ziyang, who was holding the Jing Shi Xiu Ming Scythe in Examination Room No. 1, and introduced him.

"Oh! That's him! Hmm, his aura of light is very strong!" Yan Shaozhe's gaze lingered on Zhu Ziyang, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. He said, "He actually possesses the Martial Soul Control of the Transcendent Realm! Reaching such a level at this age is truly rare!"

Yan Shaozhe was even more tempted. He could clearly see that Zhu Ziyang was hiding his strength, but the more he did so, the happier he became. Even with his strength concealed, his aura of light was so strong, which meant that the affinity of his martial soul for the light element must be very high. Perhaps it could even rival his Light Phoenix martial soul.

Xia Yu, standing among the teachers behind Yan Shaozhe, couldn't help but smile brightly upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's words. The deeper the impression Zhu Ziyang left in Dean Yan's heart, the happier he would be, after all, Zhu Ziyang was his student.

On the arena, Zhu Ziyang, holding the Life-Saving Scythe, looked at Zhou Tianhe who was attacking him and said slowly to Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya, "You two take care of Su Li first." Then, he dragged the Life-Saving Scythe behind him and strode towards Zhou Tianhe to meet him.

Zhu Ziyang strode forward, and Zhou Tianhe was not to be outdone. Behind Zhou Tianhe was Su Li. Her second spirit ring flashed rapidly, a charming smile appeared on her face, and her entire demeanor changed, exuding an alluring aura. Her eyes sparkled with pink light as she stared directly into Zhu Ziyang's eyes.

Allure!

Zhu Ziyang immediately realized what Su Li's second soul skill was, and thought to himself, "This is bad." Sure enough, he felt a momentary dizziness, and his entire body trembled. Zhou Tianhe, seeing this, was overjoyed. He increased his speed dramatically, his second soul ring lit up, and his massive body leaped up, crashing down hard towards Zhu Ziyang's location.

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya also realized something was wrong and wanted to help Zhu Ziyang, but a large cauldron suddenly appeared in front of them. To their bewilderment, it flipped over and trapped them inside.

Yang Yumeng's first soul skill is "Calligraphy Prison." As a defensive soul master, her first soul skill is actually a control soul skill, which can indeed have an unexpected effect in crucial moments.

It seemed Zhu Ziyang was in danger, but they could never have predicted what would happen next. After Su Li used her charm on Zhu Ziyang, she was instantly struck by a backlash; a trickle of blood appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her face turned deathly pale as she stared at Zhu Ziyang in disbelief. She realized with horror that Zhu Ziyang's mental strength was actually stronger than hers!

With Zhu Ziyang's mental strength, Su Li's charm only slowed him down by half a beat, but in battle, half a beat can make a big difference.

Zhou Tian and Shi Jian, who trusted Su Li completely, unleashed their second soul skill. The powerful attack was about to strike Zhu Ziyang, but he had no time to react. The examiners were already prepared to save him.

However, at that moment, Zhu Ziyang's right eye turned silver, and a strange fluctuation spread across the arena. Zhou Tianhe, who was falling at high speed, suddenly paused in mid-air, and the movements of everyone else on the arena slowed down by a second. Only Zhu Ziyang suddenly burst forth and rushed towards Su Li without any hesitation, the Jing Shi Xiu Ming Scythe in his hand glowing slightly.

Time stands still!

The next moment, everything returned to normal, but the situation on the field had undergone a dramatic change. Zhou Tianhe was shocked to find that Zhu Ziyang, who had been previously hindered, had suddenly increased his speed for some reason, instantly rushing out of the attack range of his second soul skill and charging towards Su Li. At this moment, he noticed Su Li's pale face and immediately realized that Su Li's charm had no effect on Zhu Ziyang and had even backfired!

His face was instantly filled with anxiety, but he was helpless. His second soul skill, though incredibly powerful, had limitations; once unleashed, it couldn't be stopped, or he would suffer severe backlash. And if he did, they would definitely lose the match!

We can only pray that Suli can hold on a little longer.

"The Wall of Cauldrons!"

A bronze wall suddenly appeared in front of Su Li. It turned out that Yang Yumeng had noticed the change and immediately chose to come back to help, using her first soul skill to try to help Su Li withstand Zhu Ziyang for a while.

Facing the suddenly appearing wall, Zhu Ziyang swung his battle scythe without hesitation. The golden blade instantly shattered the bronze cauldron wall and struck Su Li directly. Su Li was still weakened by the backlash and, despite her efforts to defend herself against the incoming Life-Saving Scythe, was powerless to stop it. She was sent flying and caught by the examiner, who placed her on the ground.

Zhu Ziyang, who had eliminated Su Li, did not stop. He retrieved the Jing Shi Xiu Ming Scythe and turned to slash at Yang Yumeng. Yang Yumeng hurriedly raised the Hui Tian Ding in her hand to defend, but the scythe struck the cauldron, producing a crisp boom. The violent shock spread from the cauldron to the girl's arm, causing Yang Yumeng to immediately loosen her martial spirit. She was also shaken by the powerful recoil and sat on the ground. Then, she was sent flying by Zhu Ziyang.

"Ouch! That hurts! Zhu Ziyang, you big bad guy, don't you know you should be gentle with girls? Ouch~ It hurts~" The little girl was very unlucky and landed on her bottom first, which hurt a lot. Tears came out, and she pitifully rubbed the sore spot, cursing Zhu Ziyang for not knowing how to cherish a girl.

However, Zhu Ziyang paid no attention to him. His gaze fell on Zhou Tianhe, only to find that Zhou Tianhe had already been dealt with by Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya. Since Yang Yumeng had chosen to turn back to support Su Li, the large cauldron that had trapped Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya had naturally disappeared. Seeing the powerful Zhu Ziyang, and noticing Zhou Tianhe who had just landed on the ground, the two decided to take action against him to stop him from interfering with Zhu Ziyang.

Zhou Tianhe landed heavily, creating a crater five meters in diameter in the ground. As soon as he stood up, he was caught in a huge net of blue silver grass. His suppressed emotions exploded instantly. In a fit of rage, he reached out and tried to tear at the blue silver grass that was holding him, but he never expected that the blue silver grass would be so difficult to break. The more he pulled, the more difficult it became to break, leaving him in a state of panic.

Jiang Nannan also entered the scene at the right time. She activated her second soul skill instantly, grabbed Zhou Tianhe's waist, and with a powerful leap, jumped to a height of six or seven meters in the air. Then she spun 360 degrees and slammed Zhou Tianhe down hard.

Zhou Tianhe, having been manipulated by Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya, has undoubtedly lost his fighting ability.

Brothers, first update after release, let's go!
