Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

"What are you looking at? Is this sword fanatic even worth your attention? Or are you looking at the pretty girls..." Xiao Hongchen said with a wicked smile. "After all, Tang Ya is the most beautiful girl in our new level. It's normal that you like her."

"..."

Xu Cheng was taken aback. "What ranking?"

"I forgot you, you nerdy genius, don't pay attention to this." Xiao Hongchen shrugged. "There's a beauty list from a grade-wide vote, look..."

As he spoke, Xiao Hongchen handed over a ranking list.

Tang Ya was ranked first.

Then comes the dream of the mortal world...

The seventh person was Nana. Xu Cheng continued looking down and also spotted several familiar faces: the seventy-second person was Keke, and the one hundred and seventy-second person was Jing Ziyan...

Xu Cheng flipped through it.

This isn't a list; it's a handbook.

It not only included names, but also photos of faces, personalities, and so on, forming a thick stack like a book.

"Who did this? So much free time?"

Xu Cheng frowned.

"Our class's trendsetter, look, it's the guy in assessment area number eleven, the one who uses a remote soul tool," Xiao Hongchen said nonchalantly.

As he spoke, he handed over another book.

"What is this?"

"The boys' ranking..." Xiao Hongchen chuckled secretly.

Xu Cheng: “…”

If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have been interested, but now that you've mentioned it, I'm determined to take a look.

"Hehe, don't you even know where you are in the queue?" Xiao Hongchen said with a wicked smile.

Xu Cheng smiled and opened the manual.

What came into view was Ji Juechen.

I am second.

And Laughing at the Mortal World... Chapter Twenty-Seven.

"Quite objective," Xu Cheng nodded.

"Damn it, what do you mean?!" Xiao Hongchen blushed instantly. "So I'm supposed to be twenty-seven? What's wrong with me being handsome?! What kind of taste do these girls have?!"

"I mean, this trend..." Xu Cheng coughed twice, "is quite interesting."

As he spoke, he recalled the original work.

The plot of being tricked and killed by Princess Tang during the All-Continent Soul Master Academy Tournament held in Mingdu is popular.

A minor character who died within two minutes of appearing on screen, yet he exposed the hypocrisy of the Tang Clan...

When Xu Cheng saw it, he felt quite sorry for this insignificant person.

It also gave me a new understanding of the moral bottom line of the Tang Clan.

"This guy is quite interesting."

Xu Cheng weighed the two books in his hands and looked at the current situation with great interest.

He considered his talent to be average. By the end of the first semester, he barely reached the level of a second-ring Great Soul Master, and his soul power was obviously unstable, indicating that he had improved it by taking drugs.

But what Xu Cheng was more interested in was his talent in intelligence...

It has a Finger-like feel to it.

Moreover, in the future, an organization will need a structure similar to an intelligence agency.

Xu Cheng pondered for a moment.

Don't rush, take it one step at a time.

As expected of Class 1, it's full of talented people...

……

The seventh day.

Most people were eliminated.

Only two people remained standing on the stage.

Laughing at the world and Xu Cheng.

The two stood facing each other from a distance.

After seven days of continuous assessment and rounds of selection, apart from the first and second place winners, the remaining twenty have been determined.

Third place: Meng Hongchen; Fourth place: Tang Ya; Fifth place: Nana; Tenth place: Ji Juechen...

The people Xu Cheng knew were mostly among the top ranks.

The final assessment will determine the top student among the new students.

That's why.

The number of people in the Soul Guidance Device Assessment Arena was even greater than in the previous days, and the venue, which could accommodate 10,000 people, was almost full.

They all came because of his reputation, to observe a long-established "number one genius of soul guidance" and a terrifying dark horse who suddenly emerged from obscurity.

Who will be the top freshman? This is definitely generating a lot of buzz.

"Place your bets!"

It's fashionable to squeeze in and out of the corridor.

"I bet on Xiao Hongchen to win! He truly deserves the title of number one genius!"

"I think Xu Cheng is also very strong. I've been unable to see through his attacks all along; I always feel like he's hiding something..."

"Indeed, Xiao Hongchen's strength is obvious and well-known. Everyone knows his background and even his moves have been studied. But this Xu Cheng... is really mysterious. He has made a name for himself and his strength is unfathomable."

"Bet on Xu Cheng!"

"..."

Betting is an old tradition in Douluo Continent.

Such events exist in everything from small-scale duels between Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei in the arena to large-scale continent-wide Soul Master competitions.

There are quite a few gamblers.

in the crowd.

Ji Juechen stared intently at Xu Cheng.

Just yesterday, he was defeated by him.

That feeling of powerlessness is unforgettable.

An ordinary person would probably be severely discouraged, but he is a sword fanatic who doesn't care about winning or losing, but only grows through the experience.

Recalling yesterday, after Xu Cheng effortlessly defeated him, his nonchalant tone was, "Merging the soul into the sword, is this sword energy? The path of fusing soul power and spiritual power is correct, but the key is to find the balance point. If you want to catch up with me, you'll have to achieve this first..."

True friends are hard to find.

A ripple stirred in Ji Juechen's heart, which had been silent for eleven years.

I'm increasingly curious about Xu Cheng's match today.

Just how strong is this person...?

……

In the stands.

Old Master Cheng and Jing Hongchen were also sitting.

I'm quite curious about this new generation's battle for first place.

"Mr. Cheng, what are your thoughts on this competition?"

"This child is skilled in strategy, but as for actual combat... I dare not speak presumptuously." Old Master Cheng pondered for a moment, then slowly said.

He didn't have much contact with Xu Cheng, and their master-disciple relationship had only just begun.

All that is known is his research in the field of soul tools; like him, he is indeed a genius among geniuses.

But in actual combat...

As long as Xiao Hongchen avoids encountering the other party and falling into their trap.

It's probably a close contest.

Chapter 28: The Final Assessment - The Final Round!

"Acheng, I can't wait."

Xiao Hongchen stretched his shoulders with great excitement.
