Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 42 Xiaoyan: Not a buddy?
As Xiaoyan's name was mentioned.

Most of the students present looked over, and even many of the assessment teachers cast curious glances. After all, the top student in the grade every year is the focus of everyone's attention. This is Shrek Academy, not some unknown small sect. To be able to become the top student in this place full of monsters, one will most likely start as a Title Douluo in the future.

Moreover, this Soul Master, who is only twelve years old, is a completely overwhelming force compared to the second-year students.

Mu Jin's face showed arrogance, while Zhou Yi's expression was gloomy.

"Humph……"

Only Old Gong curled his lip and snorted coldly.

"This kid's talent is so-so, but he's very arrogant. Anyone who didn't know better would think he got a guaranteed admission to the inner academy and crushed all the geniuses there."

“A twelve-year-old Soul Master certainly has the right to be proud.” Su Wen grinned, his gaze fixed on the thin boy who was coming onto the stage below. His face was still childish, but it also contained a hint of arrogance—confidence built up from countless compliments.

"The inner academy has no shortage of geniuses! Any one of them could easily beat him. And you, kid, stop pretending. You became a Soul Venerable at ten? Don't even mention his peers, could he even withstand a single move from you right now?"

"It's good for young people to be low-key, but don't let them look old at such a young age, like an old man like me with one foot in the ground." Old Gong curled his lip in disdain.

"It's a pity you weren't in the same year as him, otherwise you could have put him in check on his arrogance. I just can't stand watching him."

"..."

Su Wen shrugged and continued to focus on the game.

The teachers around them changed their expressions, especially Zhou Yi, whose nails dug into her flesh. It was clear that this child was not the offspring of an outer court teacher, but rather... some little monster from the inner court.

Even though it's unknown which important figure Ma Xiaotao is the offspring of, her almost monstrous talent alone is enough to explain a lot.

At the age of ten, he became a Soul Master. In Shrek Academy, where monsters are everywhere, he is a figure who can be recorded in history.

As long as it doesn't fail prematurely, it's likely to remain one of Shrek Academy's top forces.

Mu Jin, on the other hand, was initially stunned, but then overjoyed.

She noticed the key point!
This child is only ten years old! That means he'll be starting school next year!
Being able to become the teacher of such a person is not just about achieving "results," but a rather terrifying political resource!

When Su Wen rises to a high position in the academy in the future, he will be able to accomplish many things with just a word. For example, in the selection of outstanding teachers in the Martial Soul Department, Zhou Yi worked herself to the bone and tormented those children, all for the sake of a so-called selection.
She really wanted to laugh out loud at that moment. Zhou Yi had brought this upon herself; there was no way this child could end up in Zhou Yi's class. While it was extremely difficult for disciples from other sects to choose their own class if they wanted to join Shrek Academy, this boy seemed to have no such problem. He could probably choose his class with just a word...

One less strong competitor, awesome!

"..." However, Mu Jin hesitated for a moment and still did not go forward to speak.

Several teachers who were preparing to mentor the next class were also quite interested. They exchanged glances but remained silent as they continued watching the competition.

"Hoohoho!"

Xiaoyan roared several times.

His body suddenly changed; his arms became thick and long with sharp nails, his legs became short, and a blood-red tail emerged from behind him. He looked like a miniature blood-red baboon, but half of his arm was a strange silver.

"This is his martial soul, the Blood Silver Baboon. As a variant of the Blood Red Baboon, the most powerful baboon in the Star Dou Great Forest baboon clan, his martial soul possesses bloodlust and metallic properties." Seeing Su Wen's surprised expression, Mu Jin smiled and thought to herself that her opportunity had come. She stepped forward and explained quite naturally.

"The defensive properties of metal?" Su Wen nodded slightly.

Bloodlust is like a buff, multiplying combat power when blood is depleted. However, metal can enhance one's own attack and defense attributes. Among mutated beast spirits, this Xiaoyan is definitely incredibly lucky...

Mu Jin was overjoyed to see Su Wen nod at her so politely.

Seeing this, the other teachers looked annoyed.

What a great opportunity.

"Tch, little guy, which of your soul beasts are you going to use to beat him up?" Old Gong said disdainfully.

"Let's go with Xiao Jin, it's safer," Su Wen said thoughtfully.

"Alright, then it'll be Xiao Jin!" Old Gong chuckled mischievously and whispered to a staff member behind him.

As the Colosseum staff left.

Mu Jin and the other teachers were increasingly bewildered—what did he mean by "his soul beast"? Could it be a beast-taming type martial soul? Meanwhile...

A roar came from behind the fence.

The oppressive atmosphere made the entire venue eerily quiet.

Xiao Yan, who was originally in the midst of his imposing momentum, was taken aback. The roar almost forced his martial spirit back into his body!

The fence slowly rose.

A dark gold dinosaur bear, nearly four meters tall, slowly appeared before everyone.

"Goo~"

Xiao Yan's throat bobbed, and he stared stiffly toward the assessment area.

Let me hit it?

no……

If you want me dead, just say so!
A thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur bear, its combat power is probably approaching ten thousand years!
Examiner area.

Mu Jin's face also turned pale. This was a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear! Its combat power was at least ten times that of a normal bear! Sending such a "ferocious beast" to test a freshman? Even with Dean Yan present in previous years, they wouldn't have dared to go this far, would they?
and many more……

She suddenly recalled their conversation.

What kind of spirit beast is this boy?

You call this thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur bear your soul beast?!
She looked at Su Wen in astonishment, but the young man remained calm as he watched the match, his expression undisturbed...

……

"You chose it, kid. A thousand-year-old soul beast is fine. This dark gold dinosaur bear is only a thousand years old." The referee shrugged, giving him a helpless look.

"You know it's called Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear too?!" Xiao Yan looked at the approaching Little Gold and felt his hair stand on end. His legs started shaking uncontrollably, and his face turned pale. He just wanted to participate in the assessment, not die here!

"The assessment continues. You just need to hold out for three...one minutes under its influence, and the assessment will be over," the referee explained, receiving the signal in his ear.

"Then I'll give it a try." Xiao Yan took a deep breath.

He was still reassured about the safety of the college.

Although I don't know where they got this creature from, the fact that they dared to post it suggests they were confident in their abilities.

"Roar!"

Three soul rings rose beneath his feet.

Yellow, yellow, purple

"Silver Defense!"

"Iron wall!"

"The Crimson Riot!"

It then launched a fierce attack on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

then……

There's no after that.

Mu Jin gasped as Xiao Jin slapped her against the railing of the fighting area. However, Xiao Jin controlled the force with great precision. A single slap could have easily broken Xiao Yan's bones and caused her head to explode like a watermelon. But despite the seemingly powerful blow, Xiao Yan surprisingly stood up.

"Wow, the bones aren't broken?!"
