I am a summoner in Douluo World.

Seeing that not a single hair on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's arm fell off with his single strike, Shen Ke's eyes widened in shock. Is this the power of the Millennium Spirit Ring?

Liu Xinghan controlled the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and slapped it with his bear claws.

Shen Ke was shocked when he saw this and used his second soul skill, Golden Spirit Guardian.

A layer of golden light separated from the Soul-Slaying Sword and blocked Shen Ke.

However, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear smashed it to pieces with one blow, and then knocked Shen Ke's body out, landing under the fighting arena.

"Liu Xinghan wins."

The referee announces the result of the game.

Everyone who was following this game was shocked.

Although Shen Ke was not a member of the elite class, his strength was among the best among the second-year students. Yet, he was defeated so easily by this first-year student.

"This new student is really quite capable. If you meet him, don't underestimate him. Not everyone can possess the first soul ring of a thousand years."

The monitor of the elite class, a handsome, tall boy, spoke slowly.

"I actually lost!"

Under the fighting arena, Shen Ke's eyes were blank, as if he couldn't believe that he had lost like this.

Frustrated, he recalled the rumors about Liu Xinghan challenging a second-year senior, always defeating him with a single move. It seemed the rumors were true, not just hearsay...

Liu Xinghan calmly recalled the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

He really hoped that all the opponents he met would be like Shen Ke and fight him head-on, so that he could easily win the first place in this mid-year assessment.

But once someone discovers his weakness, it will be troublesome...

At the same time, the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong learned about Liu Xinghan's spirit ring from the vice-president and was immediately even more surprised: "This little guy is quite interesting. Could his spirit ring be upgraded?"

The vice-president guessed: "Perhaps the spirit ring will become stronger as the level of cultivation increases, but don't forget, his spirit power was level 14 before, and now it is level 15."

"Well, that's indeed possible."

Bibi Dong nodded in agreement.

After all, they were Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo warriors with extraordinary vision. In just a few words, they guessed most of the changes in Liu Xinghan's soul ring.

"Liu Xinghan, Liu Xinghan, you are such an interesting kid. What kind of surprises can you bring to me? Even with your weaknesses exposed, can you still get first place in the mid-year assessment? I'm really looking forward to it."

Bibi Dong thought excitedly.

……

Liu Xinghan's worries were not without reason. In the fourth round of the soul fighting from fifty to twenty-five, Liu Xinghan met a soul master of the agility type and played a game of speed with him.

This person's martial soul is the purple poisonous bee, and he excels at speed.

Although he couldn't fly yet, his wings gave him great speed, causing Liu Xinghan great trouble.

Liu Xinghan spent a full two minutes, and only at the last second when his soul power was exhausted did he seize the opponent's weakness and defeat him. After the battle, his legs were weak and he could hardly stand.

"What's wrong with this kid? He seems to have consumed a lot of energy in just a short while. His face has turned pale."

At the second-grade elite class, a pretty girl said doubtfully.

It's not normal that he would be so weak after just two minutes of fighting.

The monitor of the elite class smiled and said in sudden realization, "I see."

As soon as these words came out, everyone nearby looked at him.

The latter explained: "This kid's soul skills are indeed very powerful, but they consume a lot of energy. After all, he is only a level 15 soul master with a first ring. He can't hold out for long when summoning such a powerful Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Judging from his fighting spirit just now, two minutes is his limit."

"So, when facing him, don't engage him head-on. Just use your speed advantage to delay the fight and consume his spirit power. Within two minutes, you will definitely win!"

After hearing his explanation, the people around him reacted one after another.

With their deliberate publicity, Liu Xinghan's weakness spread rapidly among the second-year students and soon became known to everyone.

"I thought he was truly incredible, a one-ringed spirit master beating a two-ringed great spirit master. Turns out he's a true hero for two minutes. As long as we can hold out for two minutes, he'll fall apart. Wouldn't it be easy to defeat him?"

Many people laughed and were looking forward to Liu Xinghan's next game.

"Liu Xinghan, it's being said outside that your first soul skill can only last for two minutes. Is that true?" Zhou Yong, who was as strong as an iron tower, found Liu Xinghan and asked with a strange look on his face.

"Yes, it's true."

Liu Xinghan answered helplessly.

After that day's soul battle with the Mind Power Spirit Master, he knew that his weakness could not be concealed for much longer. After all, his condition at that time was too poor, and a smart person would immediately discover his weakness with a little association.

Now that this matter has spread to everyone, as long as we exploit his weaknesses and use a little strategy, it will be difficult for him to win...

"This martial spirit has obvious advantages and disadvantages."

Liu Xinghan evaluated his own martial soul in his heart.

In fact, it was Liu Xinghan's own choice that led to this situation.

If he had chosen an ordinary hundred-year-old soul beast when obtaining his first soul ring, his soul power would not have lasted only two minutes.

But if he chooses an ordinary hundred-year-old soul beast, then he will not be able to possess the terrifying combat power to challenge opponents of higher levels!

This is exactly the reason why we say you can't have your cake and eat it too.

"Now that they've discovered your weakness, your next game will be difficult." Zhou Yong expressed his opinion.

At this point in the competition, only twenty-five people are left.

Anyone who could stand out from the four hundred second-year students was naturally no ordinary person. With his weaknesses exposed, Liu Xinghan wasn't necessarily a match for the other party.

"Even if you know my weakness, it's not that easy to defeat me. Just wait and see." Liu Xinghan smiled.

Martial Soul is just his overt means, he also has hidden strengths that he has not used yet!

Chapter 21 Soul Guidance First Battle

Early in the morning of that day, the second grade examination area began the examination to select thirteen from twenty-five.

Everyone is looking forward to Liu Xinghan's game today.

With his weakness exposed, will he go from being a god of war who can kill his opponent in one blow to a weakling who can be manipulated by his opponent?

Just as everyone was looking forward to it, the draw results came out.

Twenty-five people are divided into twelve groups, with two people in each group, totaling twenty-four people. The remaining person is given a bye and directly advances to the next round.

What was surprising was that the bye candidate was actually Liu Xinghan...

In an instant, the fighting arena was dead silent.

After seeing the draw results, Liu Xinghan touched his nose and was very surprised. He didn't expect that he could advance so easily. His luck was too good.

This result made many people who were waiting to see Liu Xinghan make a fool of himself extremely angry.

The goddess of luck will never favor only one person.

In the match of thirteen to seven, Liu Xinghan drew number three. His opponent was Yuan Gang. According to Zhou Yong's introduction, this person was a student in the second-year elite class. His martial soul was the Lightning Leopard. He was very powerful and had once tied with a three-ringed Soul Master.

Although the three-ring Soul Master martial soul is not particularly powerful, nor is it the optimal soul ring ratio of two yellow and one purple, the fact that it can fight above its level is enough to show how powerful Yuan Gang is.

It was number three's turn, and the two of them stepped onto the fighting stage.

Yuan Gang was a rugged young man with thick eyebrows. He looked at Liu Xinghan with a hint of disdain and said, "Boy, you're unlucky to have met me!"

"Really?" Liu Xinghan smiled indifferently.

Seeing this, Yuan Gang glared and said, "Arrogant boy, I will let you know my strength later."

He is the young man in the elite class who threatened to beat Liu Xinghan down.

After learning about the weakness of Liu Xinghan's martial soul, he became even more confident and believed that dealing with the former would be a piece of cake.

"Possessed by a martial spirit!"

Yuan Gang shouted loudly, and the Lightning Leopard Martial Spirit instantly possessed him.

He grew a foot taller, sharp blades popped out from his fingertips, and two yellow soul rings rose from under his feet.

Seeing this, Liu Xinghan did not move and was not in a hurry to summon his martial soul.

The Lightning Leopard Spirit is a top-tier offensive beast spirit. While its attack power isn't top-tier among offensive spirits, it possesses agility and speed not typically found in offensive spirits. It's a combination of offensive and agile, with a balanced balance of strength and speed.

Knowing his own weaknesses, he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to rush up and fight him head-on.

Then there is no need to summon the martial soul right away, as this will only waste soul power.

"Why haven't you summoned your martial soul yet?" Yuan Gang asked loudly when he saw Liu Xinghan not moving for a long time.

Liu Xinghan hooked his finger at him and said with a smile, "Come here, I will summon my martial spirit."

"Humph!"

Yuan Gang moved and approached Liu Xinghan.

The latter immediately raised his right hand, pretending to summon his martial soul. Seeing this, Yuan Gang immediately stepped back. Seeing that the martial soul did not appear, he realized that he had been fooled by Liu Xinghan. His face immediately turned red and he was very angry.

"Okay, since you don't want to summon your martial spirit, then I will help you."

Yuan Gang was furious, and his first soul ring lit up.

The first soul skill, lightning claw.

Lightning was wrapped around the sharp blades on his fingertips. As he swung his claws, dense lightning covered Liu Xinghan like a big net.

"coming!"

Liu Xinghan's eyes narrowed and his expression became serious.

He still didn't plan to summon his martial soul, he was ready to use his soul guide!

As he is about to become the Pope's disciple, he no longer has to worry so much.

With a flash of light, a second-level soul guide placed in the storage ring appeared in his hand.

This is a giant sword, one and a half meters long, with a blade one meter long and a hilt thirty centimeters long. The blade is as wide as an adult's palm and one finger thick. It is silver all over, and there are flame-like lines engraved on the sword.

Second-level soul guide, the Sword of Fire!

This soul guide device was a second-level soul guide device created by Liu Xinghan seven days ago using all the soul guide knowledge he had mastered. It is considered a top-level work in the field of second-level soul guide devices.

The assessment rules did not prohibit the use of weapons, so Liu Xinghan took it out directly.

"A trifle, look at the sword!"

Soul power flowed into the hilt of the sword along the palm of his hand. The rune array densely covering the sword body was activated by the soul power, and suddenly a strong fire energy burst out.

This is the flaming sword.

After the soul power is activated, the giant sword itself will be accompanied by a powerful fire-attribute attack.

With one slash of the sword, the dense lightning was instantly split in half. As its momentum weakened, the surrounding lightning was burned by the flames on the giant sword.

Yuan Gang was stunned.

Not only him, but many people present were stunned by this unexpected scene.

Many eyes fell on the flaming sword that suddenly appeared in Liu Xinghan's hand.

The Fiery Sword was blazing with flames, emitting strong fluctuations of soul power.

"Martial soul?"

Someone's voice rang out, as if alerting everyone, causing an uproar.

Because on the Douluo Continent, only weapon spirits can emit soul power fluctuations. Ordinary weapons made of metal cannot conduct soul power.

Doesn’t this mean that Liu Xinghan has two martial souls, twin martial souls?

Although full innate soul power was rare, some people had seen it. However, twin martial souls were truly unheard of; they existed only in legends.

Although Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, has twin spirits, how many people know this?

"wrong!"

Hearing everyone exclaim about the twin martial spirits, some of the academy's senior leaders who had not appeared in person and were observing in the dark, stared at the Fiery Sword and realized something was wrong.
