The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

It must be said that this examiner was extremely dedicated and responsible.

Whether it was the person on the platform, the more than twenty teachers in charge of safety, or the students from Class 1 and Class 2 of the second grade, everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Zihuang.

The phrase "under the spotlight" is perfectly apt to describe the current situation.

At the very end of Class 1, Grade 2, there was still a resentful gaze fixed on Xu Zihuang.

Wu Feng's feelings were very complicated. Based on her understanding and reason, she definitely felt that Yu Tianhuang didn't know his own limitations and was just trying to attract attention. But she also felt that Yu Tianhuang must have had sufficient confidence to make such a choice.

She herself didn't know why this was happening.

A series of sparse sounds rang out, the sounds were unusually eerie.

Several long, powerful black spider legs extended from the gate, instantly enveloping the entire area with an extremely evil and chilling aura. The faces of the weaker students turned deathly pale, and their bodies trembled.

A dark shadow flashed by, and an extremely ferocious soul beast arrived in the arena.

Before them appeared a spider, a bizarre giant spider with a body diameter exceeding five meters and eight spear-like legs nearly ten meters long. Its entire body was covered in a gleaming black carapace, and the tips of its long legs were slender, each step silently piercing the ground, revealing their sharpness.

Eight long legs moved rapidly, even creating a series of afterimages.

Du Weilen and all the teachers present released their martial spirits almost at the same time.

"A ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider?! How could something like that appear?!"

The scene descended into chaos, and Gong Changlong, who was the first to react, unleashed a tremendous pressure of soul power.

Two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings appeared one after another from beneath his feet, revealing him to be a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level.

He slapped his forehead hard as he hurried toward the center of the field, his face full of frustration.

"broken!"

Normally, no one comes to this beast fighting area to challenge soul beasts with a cultivation level of more than ten thousand years, let alone during the upgrade assessment for students advancing from the first year to the second year.

He forgot that the beast realm had recently added a batch of soul beasts, and this ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider was the most powerful among them.

At that moment, Xu Zihuang's indifferent expression suddenly turned from deep purple to brilliant gold.

Purple, purple, purple, black. As the four spirit rings rose, the second purple spirit ring was already lit.

In the blink of an eye, the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider arrived in front of Xu Zihuang, raising two of its legs high and stabbing directly at his head.

Xu Zihuang's eyes blazed with golden light as he retreated swiftly, showing no sign of panic. At the same time, strange dark red ripples quietly covered the entire body of the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider.

A thick layer of dark red crystal quickly enveloped its massive, millstone-like body.

Then came a series of cages made of dark red crystal. One inside another, each larger and more sturdy than the last.

Although his cultivation level was not enough to severely injure the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider, he could still limit it.

slam-la-

After only a second of stalemate, the dark red crystal was crushed by the soul power and strength of the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider, turning into countless fragments.

Gong Changlong had also arrived by this time and had firmly suppressed the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider.

Everyone then came to their senses and stared in shock at the four soul rings that were slowly pulsating beside Xu Zihuang.

Especially the black spirit ring ranked fourth, which is profound and mysterious.

Chapter 139 Challenging the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider and Ma Xiaotao

As the pinnacle of poisonous soul beasts, the Human-Faced Demon Spider, with its cultivation of over ten thousand years, is enough to make even Soul Saint-level experts extremely wary.

This kind of spirit beast basically has no weaknesses.

Not only are they incredibly fast, but they are also exceptionally strong. Their sharp, powerful spider legs are among their most lethal weapons. Furthermore, their carapace, as hard as refined iron, means that even spirit beasts with 30,000 to 40,000 years of cultivation wouldn't easily provoke this highly venomous creature in the wild spirit beast forest.

As it attacked, the spider's legs left clear marks on the hard granite floor.

Xu Zihuang could clearly see that, completely different from the black carapace of the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider, its lower abdomen was entirely white. Or rather, it was a pale human face, complete with all the features, but it looked incredibly ferocious, especially its pair of pale white eyes, which sent a chill down one's spine.

Those two white eyes weren't the human-faced spider's real eyes, but rather an ability. Its true eyes were located below its head, six small, eerie blue eyes that emitted a venomous and icy light.

However, at this moment, the ferocious human-faced demon spider was suppressed by Gong Changlong's soul power cultivation of level ninety-five, which restrained its movement.

This ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider may not be the most powerful soul beast in the beast realm, but it is definitely the strongest one.

Du Weiren, standing on the high platform, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Gong Changlong had suppressed the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider. He then gave instructions to Wang Yan and the homeroom teacher of Class 2, Grade 2.

"Teacher Wang, please bring all the students up to the platform first."

He was still somewhat shaken. If that ancient human-faced spider had been allowed to charge into the group of students, the casualties would have been devastating.

The greatest responsibility will undoubtedly fall on him, the head of the teaching department.

Wang Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He only had a soul power cultivation level of around level 50, so his reaction was no better than that of the other students.

He calmed himself down a bit before turning to face the students of Class 1, Grade 2.

Dai Huabin and Wang Dong, who were standing at the front, were deathly pale. Some of the female students, whose cultivation and mental fortitude were weaker, even sobbed in fear, clearly having been left with an indelible shadow in their hearts.

"Hey--"

Wang Yan sighed heavily. This ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider would definitely leave an indelible shadow on everyone. If it couldn't be overcome, it would inevitably affect future development.

In contrast, Yu Tianhuang, who faced the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider head-on and calmly used his soul skills to restrain it, clearly demonstrated his superiority.

Wang Yan looked at the tall, upright young man in the arena with a look of satisfaction.

Some geniuses are destined to be admired by everyone.

Wang Yan gently patted the back of a female student who was crying with tears streaming down her face due to excessive surprise. After saying a few words of comfort, he then spoke to Dai Huabin, whose expression had softened somewhat.

"Dai Huabin, you organize everyone to go up to the platform."

"Yes, Teacher Wang." Dai Huabin replied in a strained voice. His slightly trembling hands showed that he was not at peace.

"Soul Master?! He's actually broken through to the Soul Master level?! How is that possible?!"

Wang Dong's state of mind was similar to his.

The pride on his face had long been overwhelmed by horror and fear. Recalling his previous provocation of Yu Tianhuang, he felt as ridiculous as a clown.

He barely managed to advance to the Soul Venerable level by taking pills, while Yu Tianhuang had already broken through to the Soul Sect level and possessed a fourth Soul Ring that was clearly quite old, dating back ten thousand years.

His confidence wavered at that moment.

Wang Dong silently followed behind the group of students in Class 1 of the second grade. As if he had thought of something, he looked down at his right hand, and his confidence became firm once again.

Even if you are stronger than me now, so what? I have talent that you can't even dream of!

Besides Dai Huabin and Wang Dong, Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan, and Tuoba Yu were the first to recover, having successfully obtained their third soul rings and advanced to the Soul Master level during the holiday.

The three people's eyes met, and they remained silent for a long time.

Only when they arrived at the spacious stands and sat down to rest under Wang Yan's direction did Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan look at Tuoba Yu in tacit agreement.

"Tuoba, did you know that the class monitor had already broken through to the Soul Master level?"

"If I had known, would I have been so surprised?" Tuoba Yu said, pursing his lips speechlessly.

"But with his talent, I wouldn't be surprised if any miracle happened to him."

"That's true."

Zhu Lu, sitting next to Dai Huabin, found it even harder to accept what was happening than he did. It was as if a long-held belief had crumbled in an instant. Faced with the absolute truth, she had to admit that Yu Tianhuang was indeed far superior to Dai Huabin.

Wu Feng felt the same despair; despite the bright sunshine, she felt a chill run through her body. Without a doubt, if the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School learned of Yu Tianhuang's astonishing talent, they would likely not only not prevent Ning Tian from contacting Yu Tianhuang, but would also actively promote it.

Her last glimmer of hope was completely extinguished.

However, Xiao Xiao, sitting next to Wang Dong, was still somewhat shaken, but her gaze remained fixed on Xu Zihuang, who shone like a star in the center of the arena. As if she had thought of something, she blushed and lowered her head, looking somewhat shy.

Unlike Wang Dong, she had a strong liking for Xu Zihuang from the very beginning. It was only because Ning Tian from Class 3 often took the initiative to approach Xu Zihuang, and because she was very shy, that she didn't muster up the courage.

Even when Wang Dong felt resentful and thought Yu Tianhuang was no big deal, she would intentionally or unintentionally speak up for Xu Zihuang.

As for Class 2 of Grade 2, their performance was even worse.

As the two class teachers led their students to the platform, Du Weilun arrived at the training ground. He first gave Xu Zihuang an appreciative look, then looked at Gong Changlong with a wry smile.

"Elder Gong, I've never heard of a ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider in the beast realm."

Gong Changlong felt extremely annoyed and shook his head.

"I captured this ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider from the Star Dou Great Forest a while ago, along with that Thousand-Jin Ant. I haven't had time to report it to the academy yet. After that, I threw it into the place where ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are imprisoned. I was busy for a few days and forgot about it. The staff of the beast kennel were also unaware of this matter. I am willing to take full responsibility for this today."

Du Weilen's expression turned serious, and he quickly waved his hand.

"Elder Gong, I am not here to interrogate you."

"Xiao Du, don't be nervous, I know everything. If this student hadn't stopped that ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider in time, it would have caused a great disaster. You don't need to say anything, it is indeed my fault, I will go to the Sea God Pavilion to apologize later." Gong Changlong's expression was sincere, and his guilt came from the bottom of his heart.

As he spoke, he turned to look at Xu Zihuang behind him and patted him hard on the shoulder.

"A soul ring ratio of three purple and one black, and you've broken through to the Soul Master realm at only twelve years old. You're quite impressive. Today, I owe you a great favor, and I'll grant you one request. As long as it's within my power, I will definitely do it for you."

"Elder Gong, you're too kind." Xu Zihuang bowed respectfully, using the same form of address Du Weilun used for Gong Changlong.

"I only did that in self-defense, you—"

Before Xu Zihuang could finish speaking, Gong Changlong waved his hand, puffed out his beard, and glared, saying, "I am a man of my word, and I never take back what I say."

Xu Zihuang looked at Du Weilun, who nodded knowingly at him.

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Zihuang suddenly looked at Gong Changlong and said seriously, "Since that's the case, I have a request now. Would Elder Gong be willing to grant it?"

"Just say it." Gong Changlong gave a hearty smile, his gaze towards Xu Zihuang filled with increasing admiration.

He was a straightforward person, and Xu Zihuang's frankness suited his taste perfectly.

Immediately afterwards, under everyone's gaze, Xu Zihuang's calm voice once again resounded throughout the venue.

"I want to continue challenging that ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider to complete the upgrade assessment. Please grant my request, Elder Gong and Director Du."

"What did you say?!" Not only Du Weilun, but even Gong Changlong's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Do you even know how powerful a human-faced demon spider with ten thousand years of cultivation is?!"

Du Weilun frowned and said, "Yu, I won't stop you from challenging a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. I believe you have the strength. But this ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider is too dangerous. Let's choose another ten-thousand-year-old soul beast."

Xu Zihuang remained expressionless and repeated it once more.

"Please, Mr. Gong, and Director Du, grant our request."
