Chapter 1346: Second Round of Duel (Please Subscribe)_1

Xu Sheng's lips curved into a smile as he responded, "Hmm, indeed, as Elder Ya'li has said, but Wu Dousi's strength is not just limited to that!"

With her curiosity piqued, Ya'li pressed, "Oh? Does she have other hidden tactics?"

The fact that Teacher Xu would make such a comment suggested that this student named Wu Dousi might be even more outstanding than one could imagine!

Xu Sheng explained with a calm demeanor, "Wu Dousi's First Martial Spirit is the Hell Spiritual Cat, and her second Martial Soul is the white tiger. Apart from the high strength of her Martial Souls, she can also perform a self-Martial Soul Fusion, maximizing her strength!"

Upon hearing this, Ya'li's beautiful eyes widened in shock as she exclaimed in disbelief, "What! A self-Martial Soul Fusion?"

Although there have been students at Shrek Academy capable of performing a self-Martial Soul Fusion, what made Wu Dousi different was that the two Martial Souls she fused were exceedingly weak!

In other words, the weakness of their Martial Souls limited these students' futures, making it extravagant for them to even reach the soul power rank of a Soul Sage!!

Xu Sheng was not at all surprised by Ya'li's astonishment and continued unfazed, "Elder Ya'li, in fact, besides Wu Dousi, we have another student in our class named Xie Xie who also has the ability for self-Martial Soul Fusion!"

Ya'li's expression gradually returned to calm as she rested her smooth chin in her hand and mused, "Xie Xie... I think I've heard that name before. He must be the student you taught back at East Sea Academy, Elder Xu."

Xu Sheng was slightly surprised and said, "Oh, Elder Ya'li actually knows about him?"

In his view, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion would only pay close attention to students like Yuanen Yehui, who possessed Martial Souls comparable to God Level.

Compared to that, Xie Xie seemed rather ordinary!

Light flickered in Ya'li's beautiful eyes as she covered her mouth with a light chuckle, "Hehe, after all, that was the condition you set when you joined Shrek Academy, Teacher Xu. We from the Sea God's Pavilion naturally observe closely!"

Inwardly, she thought, "Interesting, I didn't expect this year's first-years to have so many outstanding students!"

However, while Xu Sheng and Ya'li chatted intermittently, the first round of duels had already ended!!

Shen Yi, standing on the duel stage, wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke with a solemn face, "The first round of the class selection competition has ended, including Tang Wulin's group that had a bye. The original sixteen teams have been narrowed down to nine!"

"Now, I ask all contestants to quickly restore their Soul Power. In half an hour, we will officially begin the second round of the duel!"

As soon as his words concluded, many students eliminated in the first round looked unconvinced as they glanced toward Gu Yue and the others...

In their eyes, Gu Yue and her group were merely still in the competition due to good luck, which naturally felt quite unfair to them!

One female student pouted, "Damn! I can't believe there's such a huge disparity in strength among first-years!!"

Another male student grumbled discontentedly, "Gu... pah! The class president's group sure is lucky! They got a bye; otherwise, they would definitely have been eliminated in the first round!"

"I bet they played some tricks, maybe using some special privilege exclusive to the class president that gave them a bye!"

"Shut your mouth. How could this competition be rigged? Didn't you see the Holy Spirit Crown watching the battle?"

"You're right, they were just lucky this first round. But sooner or later, they'll be eliminated!"

Hearing the surrounding murmurs, Zhang Yangzi clenched his fists and said darkly, "Damn! Do these guys really look down on us that much?"

Wei Xiaofeng sighed next to him, "Definitely! After all, aside from a few of us, the rest of us aren't that strong!"

Tang Wulin glanced at the students and reassured, "Don't pay attention to them. When it's time to duel, we'll speak with our strength!"

Gu Yue's beautiful eyes narrowed in puzzlement as she asked, "But for this round of the duel, who should we send out to fight?"

Xie Xie pondered with his chin in hand, "That's a problem. The main combatants available to fight right now are only me, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Xiaoyan."

As for Wang Jinxi's trio and Xu Lizhi, they were basically useless in a three-on-three team battle!

```

The former was because their own strength was too weak, and the latter was because they needed protection too desperately to unleash their true abilities!

Hearing Xie Xie's undisguised words, Wang Jinxi and the other two fell into silence...

Indeed, back in East Sea Academy, everyone belonged to the same level, but ever since they broke through to three rings, there had been a huge gap between them!

They could no longer compare to Gu Yue and the others!!

As a support-class Soul Master, Xu Lizhi did not express much...

After all, from the beginning, he knew that he was not quite suitable for the stage!

Tang Wulin took a deep breath and looked at the others seriously, "In the next match, let's have me, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie take the stage. Currently, only Ye Xinglan and Xu Xiaoyan's soul skills have not been revealed! Perhaps in the end, they will make a surprising impact!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood his intention and nodded in agreement...

...

Half an hour later, the remaining nine teams sent their representatives to draw lots on stage like before...

However, by coincidence, the bye went to Wu Dousi and the others, which meant they could directly advance to the finals!

Upon seeing this, Shen Yi quickly scanned the students below and announced, "The second round of the class internal selection competition officially begins, please have the groups that drew number one come to the stage for the matchup!!"

Beneath the stage, Tang Wulin, clutching the number one lot, glanced sideways at Gu Yue and Xie Xie, "Gu Yue, Xie Xie, let's go!"

Gu Yue and the others nodded slightly and walked together onto the duel platform...

The students standing opposite, upon realizing their opponents were Gu Yue and others, immediately showed delighted smiles on their faces...

"Hahaha, who would've thought we'd be so lucky to encounter the class leader's team first!"

"Gu Yue is the class leader after all. Let's go easy on them later and give them some face."

"I've been annoyed by that Tang Wulin for a long time, not much strength, and he even took Yang Nianxia's position as class committee member!"

It wasn't just them, even the students watching below started to mock Gu Yue and the others, both openly and subtly...

In an instant, the entire space became noisy...

Seeing the mood turning sour, Shen Yi frowned and said in a cold voice, "Everyone, be quiet!!"

Thanks to the renowned name of the White-haired Witch, the students' voices were immediately suppressed...

Only then did she speak again, "Please release your Martial Souls, the match starts after three seconds!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One! Start the match!"

No sooner had her voice faded away than Tang Wulin's eyes narrowed, and his first soul ring lit up beneath his feet...

First soul skill, Coiling!

Countless strands of Blue Silver Grass appeared out of thin air, crisscrossing towards the opposing students in a sweeping motion...
