Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 8 Entrance Examination

"Alright, you two are making a terrible racket, it's giving me a headache!"

Principal Gao Huan slammed his hand on the desk, ending the argument between the two. To be fair, he also supported the Dean of Students Gao Jue's viewpoint, but at the same time, he also had to consider the feelings of the vice principal.

"Among Soul Masters, strength is paramount. I think it would be better to select a top student from Elite Class 2 to compete against that child. If that child wins, then let him directly enter Elite Class 2."

"I agree."

Upon hearing the principal's words, Gao Jue immediately expressed his agreement.

Yao Liang pondered silently. Although the child was exceptionally talented, he was only seven years old. The oldest student in Elite Class Two was already ten years old, and his soul power was around level eighteen. Even if the child's martial soul quality was higher, the five-level difference was not easily overcome. He immediately stated, "I agree!"

. . . . . . . . . .

The college's higher-ups had finalized the decision, so Teacher Chen, who was in charge of admissions, returned to the conference room and briefly explained the situation to Xiao Yu and Miao, who were waiting inside. He then added, "If Xiao has any concerns, he can choose to refuse and enroll in the regular class. With Xiao's qualifications, it's a sure thing that he will be able to enter the elite class in a year."

"Teacher, as a Soul Master, how can you possibly flee without a fight when faced with a challenge?"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly. The system's task for him was to become the academy's top student. Sooner or later, the students in the elite class would have to fight them. The sooner the task was completed, the higher the reward would be. So what reason did he have to run away?

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away. Xiao, you should also adjust your mindset."

Teacher Chen nodded in satisfaction. If this child didn't even dare to accept this little test, then he would be doing a disservice to his top-tier martial spirit.

. . . . . . . . . .

Not long after, at the martial arts training ground.

The students of the elite Class 2, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Xiao Yu arrive and immediately activated their martial souls, saying to Xiao Yu, "Chang Hao, a level 18 offensive battle soul master, martial soul: Wild Bull."

Seeing this, Xiao Yu didn't hesitate to activate his Martial Soul, cupping his hands in greeting and saying, "Xiao Yu, a level 13 Power Attack type Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul: Netherworld Apostle, senior, please!"

"Take this!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chang Hao launched an attack with lightning speed. With his martial spirit infused, his already burly physique exploded with muscles, and he charged out with a roar, just like a mad bull.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu smiled slightly. The moment Chang Hao revealed his martial soul, he had already guessed the other party's attack method and had prepared a countermeasure.

Xiao Yu stood with his hands behind his back. Just as Chang Hao was about to pounce, he shifted his feet slightly and dodged to the side. He struck Chang Hao on the back with his left hand, using the opponent's force against him. This move caused the already energetic Chang Hao to lose his footing and stumble and fall heavily to the ground.

"Good lad!"

The fall was quite hard, but Chang Hao, whose martial soul was a wild bull, was tough and resilient. He got up in just a few breaths, dusted himself off, and grinned, saying, "Since you made me suffer such a big loss, I won't hold back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the century-old soul ring on Chang Hao's body emitted a crystal-clear light, clearly indicating that he had used a soul skill.

"First Soul Skill, Rampaging Charge!"

With a loud shout, Chang Hao suddenly exerted his strength, moving at an extremely fast speed, leaving only a blur in the air.

"Kid, my first soul skill can increase my speed by 10%, so don't even think about dodging anymore."

"Since I can't dodge it, then I'll show you my power."

Xiao Yu, who could indeed feel Chang Hao's increased speed, shot out a sharp light in his eyes and activated his first soul skill as well.

"First Soul Skill, Purgatory Protection!"

As the spirit ring lit up, raging flames appeared around Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu sheathed his black longsword, which carried a wisp of divine artifact power and had astonishing attack power. However, this was just a sparring match between students, and Xiao Yu did not want to kill anyone.

"Bang!"

Chang Hao charged forward like a wild bull, his impact force reaching its peak thanks to the speed boost from his soul skill.

Knowing he couldn't dodge, Xiao Yu also exerted his strength to meet the attack. In an instant, the two collided. With their fists clashing, Chang Hao, who was of a higher level, lost control of his body and staggered back four or five steps before regaining his footing.

"How is that possible?"

In the stands, Yao Liang, the vice principal who had carefully selected Chang Hao, exclaimed in disbelief, "Chang Hao's martial spirit is known for its strength, and his soul power is five levels higher than that kid's. To think he could fight him head-on..."

"Is this the difference between top-tier martial souls and other martial souls?"

The head of teaching affairs, Gao Jue, also murmured.

"It's not just a difference in martial spirit."

Gao Huan had a higher level of soul power and had been teaching for nearly ten years longer than his two deputies, so he saw things most clearly: "This child's soul power is also purer than Chang Hao's, which must be due to his cultivation method."

Indeed, the meditation method that Xiao Yu cultivates is a masterpiece produced by the system. It has reached extremely high requirements for the circulation, compression, accumulation and purification of soul power, and the intensity it can unleash is far beyond what other soul masters of the same level can match.

"Are there more advanced meditation methods?"

Yao Liangwen's eyes lit up as he looked greedily at Xiao Yu on the Soul Fighting Stage. If his grandson could also obtain this meditation method, would he be able to reach an even higher level in the future?

On the Soul Battle Stage, as Chang Hao staggered backward, Xiao Yu also moved, rushing forward like a fireball under the protection of Purgatory.

Chang Hao had barely regained his footing when Xiao Yu closed in and unleashed a punch. Caught off guard, Chang Hao was struck in the chest. This time, he didn't just stumble back a few steps; he was sent flying backward, crashing off the Soul Arena.

"I lost!"

Chang Hao was a straightforward man. Even though he was still aching from the punch Xiao Yu threw at his chest, he didn't harbor any ill will towards Xiao Yu. He dusted himself off and admitted defeat.

"Haha, he truly is a young prodigy!"

Gao Huan stroked his thick beard and laughed, "Xiao Yu, congratulations on becoming a member of the elite Class Two..."

"Wait a minute!"

Gao Huan was about to announce the results when Yao Liang suddenly interrupted him.

Gao Huan was taken aback and looked at Yao Liang with some displeasure.

Yao Liang, of course, noticed Gao Huan's displeasure, but he didn't explain anything to Gao Huan. Instead, he suddenly flew down and walked to Xiao Yu on the Soul Battle Stage, his eyes gleaming as he said, "Student Xiao, your teacher has noticed that your soul power cultivation method seems quite unique, even more profound than ordinary meditation methods. I wonder if you could share it with the academy?"

"I don't want to!"

Xiao Yu looked at Yao Liang with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot. He really didn't know what was going on in this guy's head. He himself said that this cultivation method was very unique, so it must be a secret manual that could not be easily passed on to outsiders.
