Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 64 Freshman Assessment! (10) (35)

Beibei walked out of the crowd and entered the venue under everyone's watchful eyes. His smile remained unchanged, and his composed yet confident demeanor caught Yan Shaozhe's eye, prompting him to remark, "Not bad, young man!"

Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's praise, Beibei bowed politely and then reached out to draw their lot.

"Class 5, Beibei Team, Number Two."

Upon hearing this news, Chu Hua and his two classmates from Class 1 visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became worried again. They hadn't encountered Bei Bei's team, one of the only two undefeated teams, but they might still run into Zhu Ziyang's team, the strongest freshman! Chu Hua and his two classmates, along with the Class 3 team that was about to draw lots, were all praying frantically, hoping that the two undefeated teams would meet.

Interestingly, only two of the teams that made it to the semifinals were undefeated in the ranking matches.

The captain of Class 3 stepped forward to draw lots, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him, because his luck would determine the outcome of the semi-finals.

Du Weilun took the slip of paper, glanced at it, and his expression turned strange. He announced, "Class 3, Freshmen, Zhao Lei's team, number one!"

As soon as the words were spoken, both Bei Bei's team and Zhu Ziyang's team looked at each other with undisguised fervor in their eyes. The teachers present also showed expressions of surprise and excitement. Everyone knew that Zhu Ziyang's team and Bei Bei's team were strong contenders for the freshman assessment championship, but they never expected to meet in the semi-finals. This was going to be exciting.

This isn't a semi-final; it's clearly the final!

The other two teams were very fortunate, because no matter what, not encountering Zhu Ziyang's team or Bei Bei's team meant they had a good chance of making it to the finals. Who knows, if the two teams fought fiercely enough and the winner was exhausted, they might even snag a championship for free!

The draw is over, and the competition is about to begin.

Zhu Ziyang and his two companions, along with Bei Bei's team, did not speak with each other. There would be plenty of time after the match; before the match, they were merely opponents.

The teachers followed closely into the assessment area, crowding around the vicinity of Examination Room No. 2. Compared to the battle between six Great Soul Masters, the battle between Soul Venerables was bound to be more exciting.

"Weilen, which team do you think has a better chance of winning?" Yan Shaozhe asked Du Weilun, who was standing next to him, as he approached the podium near exam room number two.

"Although Zhu Ziyang's soul power is as high as level 36, Bei Bei's team is not weak either. Moreover, Bei Bei's martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Xu Sanshi's martial soul is the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, both of which are renowned and powerful martial souls. Based solely on Zhu Ziyang's unknown mutated martial soul, it's hard to say who will win," Du Weilun said. "The martial soul of the girl in Bei Bei's team is also not simple; it's the Yellow Crystal Xuan Deer with the Slowing Domain! In comparison, Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya from Zhu Ziyang's team, one with a mutated Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul and the other with a mutated Blue Silver Grass martial soul, are much inferior."

"This..." Yan Shaozhe's expression grew even more expectant upon hearing Du Weilun's words. He said, "It seems this battle will be quite interesting. Not bad, not bad."

His gaze fell on Zhu Ziyang, and he thought to himself, "Let me see what you're made of. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Yan Shaozhe's expression remained calm and composed.

"Freshman Assessment Semi-Finals, Examination Room Two. Both teams, announce your names!"

In examination room number two, a middle-aged teacher announced.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyang and his two companions, along with Bei Bei and her two companions, who were standing opposite each other, all stepped forward.

"Beibei, Class 5, Freshmen!"

"Xu Sanshi, Class 5, Freshmen!"

"Class 5, freshmen, Xue Weiwei!"

Beibei and her two companions stood on the north side of the examination room.

"Zhu Ziyang, Class 4, Freshmen!"

"Jiang Nannan, Class 4, Freshmen!"

"Class 4, Freshmen. Tang Ya!"

Zhu Ziyang and the other two stood on the south side of the examination room.

With the announcement over, the battle is about to begin.

After the examiner announced the start of the competition, Beibei and the other two did not rush to attack, but instead let Beibei speak.

"Ziyang, I've been waiting for this moment for three months. I finally have the chance to compete with you!" Beibei said, his handsome face filled with excitement and a strong fighting spirit.

As an undisputed genius, Bei Bei has always been the absolute leader among his peers since childhood. It wasn't until he met Zhu Ziyang that he realized there were people in the world who were even more talented than him. Instead of being discouraged, he was filled with fighting spirit and wanted to compete with him to see who was better.

"I'd love to!" Zhu Ziyang and his two companions weren't in a hurry to attack. After hearing Bei Bei's words, Zhu Ziyang replied, "You and Xu Sanshi are the only two freshmen who can ignite my fighting spirit, so I won't hold back later!"

"That's how it should be!" Zhu Ziyang's words made Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi's eyes light up. Both of them were proud and arrogant, and naturally they did not want to be let down by their opponents in such an important match.

The brief exchange between the two sides ended, and the battle officially began.

A blue light flashed from Beibei's body, and blue-purple lightning bolts, like small snakes, swirled around him. His right arm swelled up and transformed into a ferocious, enormous dragon claw, while two yellow spirit rings floated behind him.

Behind him, Xu Sanshi's body also shimmered with dark light, and a dark blue tortoise shell shield appeared in his hand. Two yellow soul rings also surrounded his back. Under the reflection of his martial soul, Xu Sanshi's bronze skin appeared somewhat fair.

What attracted the most attention from Zhu Ziyang and his companions was Xue Weiwei, a girl who had never used her martial soul since the freshman assessment and was considered by most to be just a pretty face. This time, she finally released her martial soul. Her body shone with a crystalline yellow light, and a pair of crystal-clear yellow antlers grew from her forehead. She also grew taller and looked more mature, with two yellow spirit rings floating on her antlers on either side.

"Is this the Yellow Crystal Black Deer?" Zhu Ziyang murmured, then instructed Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya, "Nannan, Xiaoya, you two take care of Xue Weiwei first!"

"Yes!" the two women replied.

They also released their martial souls. Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya did so as before, while Zhu Ziyang, who had drawn the attention of all the teachers, finally revealed his spirit rings for the first time to show his respect for the two level 28 Great Soul Masters. It was still the World-Suppressing Life-Saving Scythe, but this time its aura was undisguised. The brilliant and holy light, the cold and desolate death, and the configuration of one yellow and two purple spirit rings were all challenging everyone's eyes and senses.

"This..." On the platform, Yan Shaozhe abruptly stood up from his seat. For the first time, his usually calm face showed shock, excitement, and exhilaration. He stared intently at Zhu Ziyang, then said to Du Weiren, "Weilen, you watch over things here. I need to go back to the Sea God Pavilion!"

Ultimate Light! It's actually Ultimate Light! The light aura that can make his Phoenix Martial Soul tremble must be Ultimate Light!

"I must tell the teacher!" Yan Shaozhe thought to himself, then left without looking back.

That's a super martial soul with the ultimate light attribute! As the dean of Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe knew all too well what an ultimate martial soul meant, especially since Zhu Ziyang's martial soul was ultimate light! The light attribute was already one of the superior elements, and the ultimate light attribute would inevitably be even more powerful. Once Zhu Ziyang grew up and became a titled Douluo, then... Yan Shaozhe was already trembling with excitement.

Why are the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest so powerful now? Isn't it because of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, ​​known as the Beast God, who possesses the ultimate dark attribute? His teacher, Mu En, once bluntly stated that in terms of individual strength alone, he was inferior to Di Tian. Mu En was a level 99 Limit Douluo, and his Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul also possessed near-ultimate light attributes, yet he was still no match for Di Tian. This clearly demonstrates the power of ultimate attributes!

The ultimate light was so shocking to him that he overlooked Zhu Ziyang's over-configured spirit rings and the most terrifying aspect of his martial spirit: the coexistence of light and death!

Third update!
