Chapter 32: Facing Xiong Ba, is it a losing game?

"Calling for help? No need! No need!"

In the classroom of Grade 1A (1) class at the Wuhun City Junior Soul Master Academy.

Hearing what his deskmate Wang Hao said, Gu Han burst out laughing and shook his head.

"Since I said I would fight him in a year and prove with my strength that I am qualified to be your disciple, I will keep my word."

"Although he may have reached the Great Soul Master level now, unfortunately, I have also broken through to the Great Soul Master level now!"

Gu Han's face was full of calmness and confidence.

"Oh my god! Brother Han, how did you do this?!"

Wang Hao's face was full of disbelief and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"I am at level seven innate soul power. After a year of training, I have just absorbed my first soul ring and broken through to become a soul master, but you are already a great soul master."

"Even if His Holiness the Pope gave you some special training, your speed of improvement is too outrageous!"

Wang Hao was both envious and jealous, and kept complaining.

"I've always thought there's a good saying, there are no useless martial spirits, only useless spirit masters."

"Although the person who said this has some problems, no matter what kind of martial spirit it is, as long as it finds the right direction for development and growth, it will definitely achieve remarkable results."

"Although my holy dragon's innate soul power level is a bit low, it does have some special characteristics. I just found these characteristics and made appropriate use of them!"

Gu Han shrugged and said.

After class, the head teacher Chris also called Gu Han out.

"Gu Han, how are your preparations going? We're about to fight that Xiong Ba. Are you confident?"

In the corridor outside the classroom, Chris stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Gu Han with indifferent eyes on his cold and gloomy face, and asked in a hoarse and low voice.

"I have confidence, Teacher Chris, don't worry. Although he may have broken through to the Great Soul Master, I have also broken through to the Great Soul Master now. I will use my strength to prove that I am qualified to be your disciple."

Gu Han said in a firm and confident tone.

"You have also broken through to become a Great Soul Master?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Chris's cold and gloomy face. He couldn't believe that Gu Han, with his innate soul power of level 0.25, could break through to the level of a great soul master in about a year.

Even though Gu Han is a disciple of the honorable Pope, His Holiness the Pope has invested resources in him at all costs.

But if you don't have enough talent, no matter how many resources you invest, you won't get much improvement.

After all, no matter how good the potion is, it can still improve your cultivation.

If you take more, the effect will become weaker and weaker.

The word resistance.

Chris is also very clear.

"Well, come on."

Chris nodded calmly.

"I hope you don't lose face for His Holiness the Pope. But if you can't win, just admit defeat. It doesn't matter. You are younger than him, that's a fact."

"In just over a year, you were able to break through from level 0.25 to become a great soul master. This is enough to prove your extraordinaryness. If there are still people who belittle you, it's just that they are unwilling to acknowledge your excellence."

"But since you have talent, even if you are no match for this Xiong Ba now, one day in the future, you will be able to catch up with him."

"Yes, I know, teacher!"

Unexpectedly, Chris would say that. Gu Han nodded seriously.

It was soon noon.

Like most soul master academies on Douluo Continent, the Wuhun City Junior Soul Master Academy also has courses only in the morning, and the afternoon is for students to practice on their own.

You can practice in places like your dormitory or in a martial arts simulation training field to improve your cultivation.  

You can also fight in the academy's arena and in the Wuhun City's big fighting spirit to improve your combat capabilities. Compared to other cities, Wuhun City is inhabited by soul masters, so the opening hours of the large soul fighting arena in the city are very different from other cities. It is not open only at night, but open all day long.

After the last class in the morning, Xiong Chuan brought a few of his younger brothers to Gu Han's seat, folded his arms, and said with a condescending sneer in his eyes.

"Gu Han, I didn't expect you to come here today. You have some courage."

"Today's fighting spirit, my brother asked you to go to the playground. If you are not afraid, come with me!"

After saying that, Xiong Chuan arrogantly walked out of the classroom with a few younger brothers and headed towards the playground of the Wuhun City Junior Soul Master Academy.

Gu Han was naturally not afraid of this. He stood up and walked out.

Soon, Gu Han arrived at the playground.

I saw that the playground was already crowded with people.

Xiong Ba was already waiting on the playground.

On the playground, in addition to Xiong Ba, Gu Han also saw senior sister Hu Liena, as well as Xie Yue and Yan.

When she saw Gu Han, Hu Liena's beautiful eyes lit up, her charming and beautiful face was full of smiles, she stretched out her pink and white arms and waved at Gu Han.

When I saw the real owner had arrived.

The crowd that originally filled the playground also retreated one after another, leaving enough space for Gu Han and Xiong Ba to fight.

"Boy! I didn't expect you to not run away and dare to fight me. You have some courage."

"But courage alone is not enough. Fighting spirits rely on strength. Today, I will let everyone know in front of everyone that you, Gu Han, are not qualified to be the Pope's disciple!"

Seeing Gu Han coming towards him, a tall and burly man with a bloody crew cut, a rough face and a sharp temperament, Xiong Ba's eyes flashed with surprise, but he still crossed his arms and said in a cold voice.

"Whether I am qualified to be the Pope's disciple is not up to you to decide."

"This battle of spirits hasn't even started yet, and you think you can beat me?"

"Let me borrow your words: Fighting spirits are based on strength, not on who has the sharpest tongue!"

Gu Han smiled coldly and retorted.

Before the fight even started, Gu Han had already started a verbal battle with Xiong Ba.

When the crowd around saw Gu Han and Xiong Ba arrived, they immediately started talking.

"This one-year appointment has finally begun!"

"But I guess this Xiong Ba will definitely win this soul fight. After all, he is a genius from the Blood Demon Crazy Bear family. I heard that his innate soul power is as high as level eight or nine!"

"But this Gu Han's innate soul power is less than level one, and I heard that his martial soul can't possess a body. I don't know where he got the courage to make a one-year agreement with this Xiong Ba. He is simply overestimating his own abilities!"

Someone in the crowd of onlookers said with disdain.

"Right! Right! I think so too, but it's also nice to just treat it as a joke! Haha!"

Many onlookers agreed and laughed.

Unexpectedly, everyone around her was pessimistic about Gu Han. Hu Liena was so annoyed that she took out a wooden cheering sign that read "Come on Gu Han, you will win!" and started shouting loudly.

"Come on, Gu Han, we will definitely win this battle!"

As she spoke, Hu Liena asked Xie Yue and Yan to shout together.

Faced with the goddess's order, Yan naturally gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

Xie Yue was of a rather aloof disposition and did not like to shout in public in a hall like this. However, seeing that his sister was very angry and annoyed, he had no choice but to join in shouting.

In response, there was ridicule and mockery all around.

There are actually fools who are optimistic about this useless guy whose innate soul power is less than level one and who can't even possess a martial soul?
