Behind the long table, the two middle-aged examiners nodded in unison, a hint of approval flashing in their eyes.
Old Cai still kept his eyes half-closed, and gently tapped the tip of his ice-blue staff with his finger, producing a very soft, crisp sound.
Behind her glasses, she subtly scanned Xie Xie from head to toe.
Offstage, Xu Xiaoyan secretly clenched her fist, feeling worried for him.
Tang Wulin nodded slightly.
Gu Yue's gaze also fell on Xie Xie, her eyes showing no emotion, yet she didn't look away.
A glint of light flashed in Old Cai's eyes, and he chuckled, "Little fellow, let's begin. You only have one chance, so show us your best skill."
However, what Xie Xie said next surprised everyone.
"Dear teachers, my special skill is—"
Xie Xie said calmly, "I have no weaknesses."
After he finished speaking, the whole room fell silent for a moment.
The two middle-aged examiners were slightly surprised, exchanged a glance, and their eyes clearly showed interest.
The examiner on the left, with a short beard, raised an eyebrow and said, "Young man, you've got quite the nerve."
"The way of the Soul Master lies in specialization; being a jack-of-all-trades often means being a master of none."
What makes you think you have no weaknesses?
Xie Xie's smile remained unchanged, but his tone carried an undeniable certainty: "Based on strength."
Old Cai stared at Xie Xie for a while, then slowly opened her half-closed eyes a crack. She didn't speak, but her fingers holding the staff twitched slightly.
Without any warning, a pale silver crescent-shaped blade of light appeared out of thin air three inches in front of Xie Xie, carrying a chilling aura that pierced straight towards his brow!
The light blade was so fast that it almost exceeded the limits of what the naked eye could perceive, and even the air itself was cut with a sharp screech.
This attack came without warning; it was a complete surprise.
Even Shen Yi, who was waiting to the side, was a little taken aback, let alone Tang Wulin and the other two.
Xie Xie, however, seemed to have anticipated this. He lightly touched the ground with his foot and his body floated half a foot to the left like a willow catkin, barely avoiding the silver moon blade.
His movements were fluid and effortless, without the slightest sign of panic. Even as he dodged, the Dragon Blade and Shadow Blade had already quietly appeared in his hands, their platinum and black-red lights shining simultaneously.
"Not bad speed." Old Cai said calmly, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.
Before the words were even finished, the second, the third...
Seven silver moon blades attacked simultaneously from all directions, blocking all of Xie Xie's escape routes.
Each blade of light was more powerful than the last, and the pale silver light made the entire room feel colder.
This is the real test.
Chapter 156 got a perfect score!
Xie Xie's eyes narrowed, and instead of retreating, he advanced.
His footwork shifted rapidly, his figure weaving through the dense blades of light, leaving behind afterimages as he moved with incredible speed.
The aura of light and shadow flowed around him, sometimes transforming into a golden light that shot forward, and sometimes merging into the shadows and disappearing, pushing his speed to the extreme.
"Ding!"
A silver crescent blade struck at a tricky angle, impossible to avoid.
Xie Xie flipped his wrist, and the Light Dragon Blade was held horizontally in front of him, forcefully blocking the attack.
As the sound of metal clashing rang out, Xie Xie's body sank slightly, and several fine cracks appeared on the stone slab beneath his feet.
But his hand holding the dagger remained as steady as a mountain, without the slightest tremor. Using the force of the impact, he floated backward, dodging two other blades of light that attacked from behind.
At this, the expressions of the two middle-aged examiners became serious.
A hint of surprise flashed in Cai Lao's eyes, but her attack did not stop. With a flick of her finger, a silver moon blade several times thicker than before slashed towards Xie Xie with a whistling sound. The power of this strike was enough to easily cleave through fine steel.
Xie Xie neither took the hit head-on nor dodged.
With a flick of his left hand, he pointed the Shadow Dragon Blade forward, and dense dark soul power instantly transformed into chains that intertwined in front of him, condensing into a semi-transparent shadow shield.
At the same time, the Light Dragon Blade in his right hand shone brightly.
A layer of pure, luminous soul power covered the shield, where light and darkness blended perfectly, forming an indestructible barrier.
"Oh!"
The silver moon blade slammed into the shield, producing a dull thud.
The shield shook violently a few times, its surface rippling, but it ultimately did not shatter. Xie Xie took two steps back, dissipating the impact, his breathing remaining steady.
"The defense is passable too." Old Cai nodded, his tone finally showing a hint of approval.
She suddenly stopped and did not launch any more soul power attacks.
But the next second, a powerful spiritual force surged towards Xie Xie like a tidal wave, carrying a mountain-like sense of oppression, and pierced straight into his sea of consciousness.
This is a test of mental strength, and it's also the part where the best and worst can be determined.
Xie Xie groaned, but his eyes remained clear.
A faint glow emanated from between his brows, and the Light Child and Shadow Child moved simultaneously, steadily protecting his spiritual sea of consciousness.
At the same time, Xie Xie's figure split in two.
One beam transformed into golden light, while the other became a black shadow, rushing towards Elder Cai from two different directions.
This sudden change of tactics was extremely swift, both neutralizing the impact of the mental force and launching a counterattack.
"it is good!"
The middle-aged examiner on the right couldn't help but let out a low shout.
To remain conscious under the mental pressure of the Silver Moon Douluo and to immediately organize a counterattack demonstrates a mental strength and combat awareness that far surpasses that of one's peers.
Two figures transformed into dragons mid-air, attacking Old Cai simultaneously from the left and right.
Old Cai sat in his chair without moving an inch.
She simply raised her hand slightly, and a silver light barrier appeared in front of her.
"Ding! Ding!"
Two crisp sounds rang out simultaneously.
Xie Xie's two dragons struck the light barrier simultaneously, and the enormous recoil caused him to retreat backward.
But he didn't pause at all. His figure changed again, this time turning into six afterimages, launching attacks from six different angles.
This time, even the numb Shen Yi was shocked once again.
Both she and the three examiners, led by Cai Yue'er, could clearly sense that these six afterimages were not soul skills, but simply afterimages left behind when speed was pushed to the extreme.
In an instant, Xie Xie's figure could be seen everywhere in the venue.
The light of platinum and black intertwined and shimmered, and the flow of soul power was extremely smooth without the slightest stagnation.
His attacks were precise and cunning, sometimes forceful, sometimes harassing, with ever-changing tactics, making full use of his all-around abilities.
A full half minute passed before Mr. Cai gently waved his hand.
A gentle yet irresistible force spread out, and all the afterimages vanished instantly.
Xie Xie reappeared in the center of the arena, his Light Dragon Blade and Shadow Dragon Blade already sheathed. His breathing was slightly rapid, but his eyes remained bright.
He didn't reveal any obvious flaws from beginning to end.
His speed is unparalleled among his peers, his strength surpasses that of a powerful attacker, his defense can withstand the probing of a Super Douluo, his mental strength can withstand the pressure, his soul power is abundant and precisely controlled, and his combat skills are superb.
Moreover, after this series of tests, Xie Xie was only slightly out of breath, and the fluctuations of his soul power remained unchanged.
Battery life is also excellent.
Behind the long table, the two middle-aged examiners were completely stunned.
In all their years of teaching, this was the first time they had ever seen such a well-rounded Soul Master.
Looking at Xie Xie, Old Cai finally smiled genuinely. She tapped the table lightly with her fingers, her hoarse voice carrying obvious approval:
"What a well-rounded little guy!"
"You have already proven to me that having no obvious weaknesses is your greatest strength."
Down in the audience, Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but smile.
Xu Xiaoyan excitedly clenched her fist.
Gu Yue looked at the tall figure in the center of the field, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.
Xie Xie grinned, bowed to Elder Cai again, and a hint of youthful smugness appeared on his lips.
"Teacher, you flatter me!"
Cai Yue'er turned to look at Shen Yi standing to the side, and gently tapped the tip of the ice-blue staff with her fingertip, causing the pale silver halo to dissipate.
Her tone was decisive and authoritative, conveying no room for hesitation as she spoke directly:
"Little Yiyi, this little guy got a perfect score on the third level."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yi suddenly raised his head, a clear look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
In all her years of teaching at Shrek Academy, this was the first time she had ever seen someone get a perfect score in a talent assessment.
It's important to know that the scoring criteria for this stage are always very strict. Even the most talented students can only get a maximum of nine points, and a perfect score is practically a legend.
But when she met Old Cai's unwavering gaze, she immediately suppressed all her surprise and bowed respectfully in response:
"Yes, Elder Cai."
The two middle-aged examiners behind the long table had no objections and nodded in unison.
The examiner on the left, with a short beard, stroked his chin and remarked, "He truly deserves full marks. Not to mention those of the same level, even a level 40 Soul Master might not be as well-rounded as him."
"Yes, it's rare to have both light and dark dual martial souls, and to have honed all six dimensions to the point of having no weaknesses, this child's comprehension and perseverance are truly astonishing."
Another examiner echoed this sentiment.
Xie Xie smiled and bowed again, "This humble one thanks the three teachers!"
Seeing Xie Xie's barely concealed smug expression, Old Cai couldn't help but smile and waved his hand, "Alright, go down. Next."
Seeing Xie Xie turn around and come back, Xu Xiaoyan jumped up excitedly, waving her little hands vigorously and whispering, "Xie Xie, you're amazing! Perfect score!"
Xie Xie turned around and walked back with light steps.
He never suppressed his smile, his eyes were always curved, and his youthful smugness was blatantly displayed on his face without any attempt to hide it.
For Xie Xie, his brilliance has never needed to be concealed.
Chapter 157 Old Cai: I feel a chill down my spine...
The next one is Xu Xiaoyan.
When Mr. Cai heard Xu Xiaoyan's explanation and noticed her surname, he simply waved for her to leave.
Tang Wulin comforted Xu Xiaoyan for a few words, then walked past her to the center of the field.
The old woman looked at Tang Wulin with a look of great interest in her eyes.
Her attention had been entirely focused on Xie Xie, because the young man was so stunning that she only now realized that the leader of the team was this black-haired boy.
Xie Xie is so outstanding that only someone even more outstanding could truly convince him.
Thinking this, Old Cai's smile became somewhat strange. "Young man, show me your abilities. Let me see what makes you so trustworthy."
"Yes!" Tang Wulin nodded.
