Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 25 Finals
In the afternoon, accompanied by Du Weilun and with respectful greetings from a group of teachers, Yan Shaozhe came to his own exclusive seat in the stands.

This is a wide protruding area, and the assessment area seems very quiet. The assessment system of Shrek Academy takes the privacy of each student's ability into consideration as much as possible, so after the top 32 qualifying rounds, other students will never be allowed to watch the competition.

Of course, the absence of students watching the competition didn't necessarily mean there were fewer people. Almost all the teachers in the Foreign Affairs College who didn't have classes gathered in the examination area to watch.

Don't underestimate this as just the annual freshman assessment, which takes place three months after the start of school. Almost all of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard students have distinguished themselves through this assessment and have been recognized by the academy for comprehensive training.

Dean Yan Shaozhe personally attended the match because this year's freshmen were exceptionally strong. Generally speaking, even for Shrek Academy students, reaching the third ring requires around the third year. Furthermore, the third ring is a prerequisite for advancement from third to fourth year.

Among this class of freshmen, there are already four three-ring students. Such strength is almost certain to enter the inner courtyard in the future. Yan Shaozhe also wants to see who will be the final champion among this class of freshmen.

But the most important thing is because of Wu Xuan, a genius who possesses two thousand-year soul rings. It is no exaggeration to say that Wu Xuan is now fully qualified to become an inner court disciple.

Both sides arrived at the venue early, making preparations while observing each other from a distance.

At this time, the referee teacher had already entered the wide assessment area. All partitions were removed at noon, revealing a huge assessment area.

The referee waved to both sides at the same time, indicating that they should enter the court.

Wu Xuan and the other two walked in proudly. Wu Xuan was still walking in front, with Qian Gu Ming and Nanmen Yuner on both sides behind him.

On the other side, headed by Dai Huabin, he led the two girls into the venue.

The referee called both teams to his side and said in a deep voice, "The rules of the finals you're about to compete in have been modified. Listen carefully. You may move freely within the arena. To allow you to fully demonstrate your strength, you may attack the enemy with all your might during the match. Don't hold back. I will control the level of competition. Anyone who is rescued from the arena by me will be deemed to have finished the match. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Both parties replied in unison.

"Both parties share the same name."

"Dai Huabin." Dai Huabin's voice was cold, as if an invisible murderous aura burst out from him.

"Zhu Lu." The black-haired girl said.

"Cui Yajie." The girl with long pink hair said.

"Wu Xuan!"

"Eternal Light."

"Nammun Yoona."

The referee stretched his arms to both sides and said: "Everyone goes to the edge of the field and I announce the start before the attack can be launched."

Both sides slowly retreated, a fierce gleam in Dai Huabin's eyes. Wu Xuan remained calm from beginning to end, but in terms of momentum, he was determined to completely suppress Dai Huabin.

Soon, both sides reached the edge of the field. The complete assessment area was huge. At this time, in their eyes, the other party had become very small.

The referee raised his right hand, then suddenly dropped it, and a "start" sound was clearly heard by all the participating students on both sides.

The actions of both sides were exactly the same. After the announcement, they rushed towards each other at the same time.

"Second soul skill, light and spiritual wind!"

The purple second soul ring around Wu Xuan instantly lit up, and with the attachment of wisps of breeze, the speed of the three of them suddenly increased dramatically.

Wu Xuan ran towards Dai Huabin with a clear goal, while Qiangu Ming and Nanmen Yuner also found their opponents.

Nanmen Yuner faced Zhu Lu, another agility-attack spirit master, while Qiangu Ming faced Cui Yajie. Meanwhile, Dai Huabin and the other two, still maintaining their formation, rushed forward. Dai Huabin was at the forefront, shouting as he ran, "White Tiger, possess!"

A strong pale light suddenly burst out from his body. As Dai Huabin ran wildly, his arms stretched out to both sides at the same time, and a black and white tiger shadow instantly appeared behind him.

His hands were also enveloped in milky white soul power, forming tiger claws. Each claw was like a blade, gleaming with a cold, eerie light. The surging soul power surged out like a wave of pressure.

The two girls beside Dai Huabin also showed different changes. The black-haired girl Zhu Lu on the left had her eyes of different colors becoming more profound, her ears pointed and erected, her body becoming more slender and powerful, and sharp blades popping out from each finger. She was not as tough as Dai Huabin, but she had a kind of illusory lightness. Although her speed did not surpass Dai Huabin for the time being, a series of phantoms appeared around her as her figure flashed.

The transformation of the other pink-haired girl was even more bizarre. After releasing her spirit, her long pink hair grew even longer and took on large, wavy curls, cascading down like a pink waterfall. Her eyes were clear and translucent, and her ears had become pointed, even more so than Zhu Lu's. Most peculiarly, two large, ethereal tails appeared behind her.

In this short period of time, the two sides had rushed within fifty meters of each other.

The first to collide were Wu Xuan and Dai Huabin, who were at the front of their respective teams.

Dai Huabin's eyes showed some confusion. He had watched Wu Xuan and the other two compete many times before. Based on the previous matches, he didn't understand why Wu Xuan, a control-type soul master, would rush over to fight him in close combat.

In a flash of thought, he had already launched the attack subconsciously.

"The second soul skill, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"

Dai Huabin roared, and a strong white light instantly gathered at his head. Then, a ball of white light spewed out towards Wu Xuan.

"Third soul skill, Jade Wind!"

"Congeal!"

Facing Dai Huabin's attack, Wu Xuan's expression was calm. A jade-colored breeze gathered, and Wu Xuan waved his left arm. A spear with a gleaming jade luster and a blade that occupied nearly half of the entire spear appeared in his hand.

The spear spun and thrust out, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, Dai Huabin's White Tiger Fierce Light Wave was actually shattered by the spear.

The two sides were already engaged in a full-scale confrontation, and after this brief exchange, Wu Xuan had already stabilized. Dai Huabin's pupils shrank slightly, his teeth clenched, and his unstable body forced him to twist sideways.

"The first soul skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

The first soul ring lit up, a white light shield covered the whole body, and a pair of sharp claws slapped Wu Xuan heavily.

Even Wu Xuan couldn't help but admire such fighting skills.

Admiration is admiration, but Wu Xuan will show no mercy when he attacks.

With a sweep of the spear, Dai Huabin's sharp claws were directly knocked away.

Wu Xuan spun around, and the spear blade swung back. At this moment, his entire body seemed to have merged with the spear. He thrust forward with the spear, and the spear light hit Dai Huabin's chest.

“Crack!”

With a crisp cracking sound, the white light shield surrounding Dai Huabin shattered. Wu Xuan's first soul skill had been detonated by a single shot.

After enduring Dai Huabin's full-strength attacks one after another, Wu Xuan clearly felt that this spear condensed from the wind element had reached its limit.

After turning around and shooting Dai Huabin away with a spear, Wu Xuan shook his hands lightly, and the jade-colored spear in his hand turned into a breeze and dissipated.

Wu Xuan looked at Dai Huabin, who looked a little embarrassed, and smiled faintly, "Use whatever skills you have left. If you keep hiding, you will have no chance."
