Chapter 312 Testing Strength_1

In that instant, Flame's face turned ashen...

He gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Sheng, why are there no criticisms of Evil Moon, yet you are so harsh on me? This is unfair!"

He certainly didn't think himself weaker than Evil Moon. If it came to a head-to-head fight, he would definitely win!

Xu Sheng patted his shoulder, "Flame, do you really think that in a real battle, your opponents would choose to directly confront you, who excels in close combat?"

"If that were the case, then all forces would need to train Assault-type Soul Masters. Why would there still be other types of Soul Masters?"

A truly powerful Soul Master not only relies on strength but also on awareness!

Otherwise, how would they know how they died in a team battle!

Flame hesitated for a moment but stubbornly retorted, "Even so... that doesn't mean I'm as utterly useless as you make me out to be!"

Evil Moon immediately rolled his eyes, "Xu Sheng, don't bother with him. His brain is too slow to get it!"

If not for his sufficient talent, Flame probably wouldn't even qualify to be a member of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation!

Hulena nodded in agreement, "Agreed, expecting Flame to understand your words is a lost cause."

After every battle, the three of them would actively invite Xu Sheng to observe and provide advice!

After all, his combat experience was even richer than that of the special teachers assigned by the Martial Soul Hall!!

Mustering his courage, Flame argued back, "Nana, I'm not as bad as you say. I did take in some of Xu Sheng's advice!"

Hulena rolled her eyes in exasperation and pressed, "Like what?"

Flame replied with a sense of injustice, "For... for instance, I didn't give my opponents a chance to breathe during my attacks and used my full force to suppress them!"

Hulena sighed in resignation, "Flame, Xu Sheng was talking about suppressing the opponent while consuming a small amount of Soul Power, not recklessly releasing soul skills like you do!"

"Otherwise, how could older brother win so easily?"

"Xu Sheng, I'm right, aren't I?"

Xu Sheng cast an approving look, "Nana, you're absolutely correct. It seems your combat awareness has improved again!"

Upon receiving the compliment, her cheeks flushed instantly...

"This... this is all thanks to your advice, Xu Sheng. Without it, I wouldn't have improved so quickly, even to the surprise of my teacher!"

Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "You don't need to be modest. I just gave a little guidance; the real strength comes from your own effort."

Evil Moon also chimed in with great satisfaction, "That's right, Nana. Xu Sheng's advice is important, but without effort, it's worth nothing!"

Hulena blinked her beautiful eyes, "Brother, even you say so. Then, I shall accept Xu Sheng's praise!"

Feeling a bit out of place, Flame glared fiercely at Evil Moon before heading towards the other students...

Since he lost to that guy, time to find someone else to vent on!

Immediately, he pointed to a student and demanded, "You, get on the stage and fight me one-on-one!"

The latter was stunned and pointed to himself, "Eh, me?"

Impatient, Flame rebuked, "Who else if not you? Hurry up!"

The other student swallowed hard and tried to give a forced smile, "Flame, I'm just a support-class Soul Master. I surely can't fight a direct-attack class like you alone, right?"

Far from backing down, Flame sneered, "Support-class Soul Master? So what? Once you're on the battlefield, who cares what type of Soul Master you are?"

Seeing this scene, Evil Moon and the others all wore a look of dismay...

Hulena couldn't help but scold, "That guy Flame... actually using Xu Sheng's words like that. Picking on a support-class Soul Master for a one-on-one fight. Isn't that a bit too much bullying!"

Evil Moon, however, didn't care in the slightest. "Flame lost to me, so he's definitely in a bad mood. He probably just wants to vent on someone, let him be!"

At least, Flame knew his own strength and wouldn't cripple the other party!

Just then, an emotionless voice suddenly resounded in Xu Sheng's sea of consciousness...

"Xu Sheng, come to the grand hall immediately!"

After regaining his senses, he glanced at the two of them, "Evil Moon, Nana, continue training here. Her Holiness the Pope has summoned me, I'll be gone temporarily!"

...

Meanwhile, Yueguan's expression was grave as he looked at Bi Bidong. He couldn't help but caution her, "Your Holiness, are we really going to do this? Xu Sheng might be a Title Douluo, but he's not even ten years old. How could he possibly be a match for Lao Gui?"

Gui Mei nodded slightly, "Mm, with battles at the Title Douluo level, it's very difficult for me to hold back!"

"Even accidentally killing the kid is not impossible!"

After all, I am a Super Douluo-level powerhouse, and there is an insurmountable gap between Xu Sheng, who has just stepped into the realm of Title Douluo, and me!

Bi Bidong asked with an expressionless face, "What, Gui Mei, are you so confident you can defeat Xu Sheng?"

Gui Mei seemed offended, frowning as he said, "Your Holiness, I don't quite understand what you mean!"

Her words just now sounded as if she was saying Xu Sheng was stronger than himself!

Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong shook her head and explained, "Gui Mei, I have a premonition that Xu Sheng's strength is not as simple as it appears on the surface, he may very well be hiding something!"

"Therefore, this time, you must force out his hidden strength!"

Xu Sheng has Innate Level Ninety Spirit Power, and his talent is naturally unmatched, but his Martial Soul is the Nine-Hearted Begonia!

Although this Martial Soul is indeed not bad, compared to universally acknowledged top Martial Souls like the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon, it is still far inferior!

This made her inevitably doubtful...

Gui Mei's mood eased somewhat, and he bowed as he said, "I see, Your Holiness is worried about that?"

"Rest assured, in the upcoming battle, I will make my moves with full force, trying to force out his true strength without injuring Xu Sheng as much as possible!"

Reassured, Bi Bidong finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Hmm!"

However, Yueguan transmitted his thoughts with spiritual power, "Even though you say that, Lao Gui, I still want to remind you to watch your power. Don't kill Xu Sheng!"

"Otherwise, Her Holiness will probably be furious!"

Actually, it would be better for me to fight Xu Sheng, since we both have plant-type Martial Souls!

Gui Mei glanced at him, also using spiritual power to transmit his thoughts, "I know, but if an accident really happens, you must intervene immediately!!"

In the midst of their conversation, Xu Sheng had already followed the guidance of the Soul Power Aura and arrived here...

Seeing Bi Bidong standing ahead, he took the initiative, bowing his fists, "Your Holiness!"

Seeing this, Bi Bidong spoke softly, "Xu Sheng, you're here."

Xu Sheng, sensing something, asked again, "May I know what matter you wish to discuss with me, Your Holiness?"

The former replied without beating around the bush, "It's like this, although I have taken you as my disciple, I know very little about your strength."

"Therefore, I want you to have a sparring match with Gui Mei!"
