Chapter 162: Melee of the Six Academies
This initial clash between the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Five Elemental Academies ended with Lin Yang defeating all seven elites single-handedly with a single saber, resulting in a disastrous defeat for the Five Elemental Academies.
This temporarily brought this contest to a pause.
As soon as Lin Yang walked off the training grounds, a figure eagerly leapt into the center of the arena.
She put her hands on her hips, her eyes full of eagerness, and shouted aloud, "Who else wants to challenge me? Your Sister Xiao Wu will accompany you to the end!"
Standing off the stage, Lin Yang shook his head helplessly, but did not voice any objection to stop her.
Little Rabbit had always been a fearless character.
Now that she had caught such a good opportunity to fight, she naturally wouldn't let it go easily.
Everyone on the sidelines looked at each other in dismay, and the area around the stands was utterly silent.
They knew Lin Yang, but they had no idea what background the girl in front of them had.
And why was she so arrogant?
"No one? You guys are way too cowardly."
Little Rabbit curled her lip, her tone carrying a hint of boredom, "I thought the people from the Five Elemental Academies were amazing, but it turns out they're all embroidered pillows—good to look at, but useless!"
After this indiscriminate map-wide attack, the students of the Five Elemental Academies all turned livid, their blood rushing to their heads.
If glares could kill, Little Rabbit would probably have been smashed to pieces and reduced to ashes long ago.
Down the stage, the corners of Lin Yang's mouth twitched.
This Little Rabbit's ability to piss people off had certainly grown.
At this moment, Xiao Wu was still sparing no effort to provoke the Five Elemental Academies, "If you don't dare to come one by one, why don't you all come together?"
"If even that won't do, from now on whenever you see me, you all must respectfully call me Sister Xiao Wu, hear me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the students of the Five Elemental Academies completely exploded.
Who could endure this?
Figure after figure jumped down from the stands, rubbing their fists and wiping their palms facing Xiao Wu, their eyes filled with fury.
At a glance, except for Shui Binger and the others whose Soul Power was exhausted, every single remaining student had jumped down.
"That's right, this is much more interesting."
Xiao Wu bounced twice in place, her eyebrows curving into smiles.
There was no fear of her opponents, only soaring and excited Battle Intent.
"I declare, the battle—"
"Begins!"
As soon as her voice fell, the next second she shot forth like an arrow leaving the bow, instantly charging into the crowd.
"So fast!"
"Quickly stop her."
"Watch out for her feet."
"Ah—, , , "
Xiao Wu came without a shadow and left without a trace within the dense crowd.
Her main tactic was to strike and immediately retreat, never dragging things out.
Accompanied by colorful Martial Soul Abilities and the occasional wails echoing from time to time, Lin Yang's mouth twitched slightly as he glanced to his side, "You guys go too!"
Hearing Lin Yang's command, the Shi brothers, who could no longer hold themselves back, abruptly stood up. They thumped their sandbag-sized fists against their chests and chorused, "Boss, we're going."
Following closely behind were Oslo and Yu Feng, who quickly joined the battle.
Dugu Yan also silently occupied a corner, her hands intertwined with poisonous snake phantoms, ready to strike at a moment's notice.
Just as Ye Lingling put down the Aura in her arms and prepared to stand up, Lin Yang said softly, "Leng Leng, pay more attention and don't kill anyone."
Ye Lingling gave him a sideways glance, dropped a single word "Rest assured," and then took out her own saber, also joining the fray.
At this moment, on the first training ground of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, an unprecedented chaotic battle was unfurling.
On the distant stands, the three Faculty Committee members and the five academy principals took in every detail of this melee.
"Hehe, your esteemed academy's students really are... full of vitality!"
Thunder Academy's Principal Lei Jinghong let out a dry laugh, his tone complex; even he didn't know how to describe the scene before him.
Chief Educator Meng Shenji stroked his beard, a trace of undisguised amusement hidden deep within his eyes, "Not at all, not at all. Young people are full of vigor, just sparring with each other."
Although the other principals didn't speak, strange gleams flashed in each of their eyes as they wondered what calculations were running through their minds.
This melee did not last long before it was forcibly halted by Qin Ming.
Looking at the students of the Five Elemental Academies lying all over the ground in disorder, and his own students who were still standing in the middle, looking quite calm and collected.
A trace of helplessness flashed across Qin Ming's eyes, but even more so was an undisguised pride.
These were all his students.
Clearing his throat, he forcefully suppressed the corners of his mouth that wanted to curl upward, and then turned to say to Ye Lingling, "Lingling, heal their injuries."
Ye Lingling slightly nodded, raising her hand to summon the Nine-Heart Begonia.
A faint, serene fragrance quietly permeated the air, and white petals fluttered down slowly like snowflakes.
Yet the Soul Rings that emerged along with it instantly rendered everyone present speechless.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black—five Soul Rings quietly revolved around Ye Lingling, steady and solemn.
Someone's pupils trembled violently, their voice dry: "Five rings... Soul King?"
Others stared deathly at those two pitch-black, profound Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, their tones abruptly spiking: "The fourth Soul Ring is already a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring? How is this possible!"
"Isn't she an attack system? How did she become a support system?"
Still others wore looks of utter disbelief, muttering to themselves.
Ye Lingling turned a blind eye to the surrounding gazes of shock, suspicion, and confusion.
The fourth and fifth Soul Rings by her side lit up simultaneously.
Dozens of begonia petals accurately and flawlessly landed on the injured students.
Those injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within just a few breaths of time, they were already as good as new.
Confirming that everyone had fully recovered, Ye Lingling then put away her Martial Soul and silently retreated to the side.
Afterward, under Qin Ming's arrangement, the students of the Five Elemental Academies left one by one.
The expressions on their faces were complex, and any anger in their hearts was long gone, replaced entirely by shock and confusion.
Was this still the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in their impression?
Having one Lin Yang was one thing—consider yourselves lucky to have taken in a Genius student.
But even a casual support system Soul Master was actually a Soul King, and moreover had two Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.
Are You OK?
Is this normal?
In the distance, Huo Chong let out a low scoff, casting a meaningful look at Chief Educator Meng Shenji, "Brother Meng, you guys hide things really deeply. It seems you are determined to win this session's championship."
Chief Educator Meng Shenji smiled faintly: "The children are just striving to do well."
"Aside from that girl from the Ye family, the other two girls are also extraordinary," Shui Bingyue spoke, her voice cold and clear.
"Self-created Soul skills—today I've truly broadened my horizons."
Feng Cang chuckled: "Let's see what that kid Feng Xiaotian has to be arrogant about in the future."
Hu Yan Zhen didn't say anything, turning and leaving with heavy steps.
He had overestimated the Heaven Dou Academy as much as possible before, but looking at it now, he had still grossly underestimated them.
He needed to report this matter to Spirit Hall as soon as possible.
The others looked at each other and left one after another.
After all, their own students' self-confidence had suffered a blow, and as principals, they needed to properly counsel them.
The stands returned to silence.
Chief Educator Meng Shenji stood with his hands behind his back, watching the figures of the five vanish at the end of the stands.
After a long while, a trace of hearty amusement finally appeared on his face.
"That was truly gratifying!"
"Ain't that the truth? Look at old man Hu Yan Zhen's expression, it's like he swallowed a fly. However..."
Immediately afterward, Bai Baoshan's plump face carried a trace of worry, "This time we've exposed quite a few of our trump cards. Over at Spirit Hall..."
"Blindly hiding things won't work."
Zhi Lin on the side instead wore a kindly smile, "Among these little fellows, which one of them isn't someone who lets their brilliance show?"
"Sooner or later, they will shake the Douluo Continent with their renown. What they are facing now are merely appetizers."
"Old Three is right."
