Jiang Xiaofeng hurried to the Papal Palace the next day.
He had to, if only to give Yue Guan a heads-up.
"Your Highness, I know what you're talking about, but for you to succeed in the Assessment, I won't go easy on you!"
Jiang Xiaofeng cursed inwardly.
He figured the Asura God King had definitely warned Yue Guan, otherwise, Chrysanthemum Guan wouldn't have said something like that.
"Did he threaten you?"
"Not exactly. Just that if I go easy, your Assessment will fail!"
"Damn it, I chose you for my assessment to make things easier, and now this! It would have been better to pick a stranger!"
Chrysanthemum Guan nodded, misery etched on his face.
If he went too hard on Jiang Xiaofeng, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to Bibi Dong. But if he held back too much, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to the Asura God King, and Jiang Xiaofeng might lose his Godhood.
"I have no choice, Your Highness, for the sake of your assessment!"
Jiang Xiaofeng had come brimming with enthusiasm, only to have a bucket of cold water thrown over him.
"Alright, I was hoping you'd play along, but now you want to get serious. Just so you know, don't actually kill me!"
Chrysanthemum Guan chuckled, "Your Highness is joking. How could I possibly kill you? Besides, I don't even have the ability. Your body is as hard as a sheet of iron!"
Jiang Xiaofeng was absolutely confident in his own body. Even though he couldn't beat Chrysanthemum Guan, he definitely couldn't be killed by him. The Undying Body had reached its current level. Unless it was a 99th-ranked Title Douluo, no one else could inflict fatal damage on Jiang Xiaofeng. That was the source of his confidence.
"Are you ready, Your Highness?"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded.
But at this moment, Bibi Dong had already noticed that the two of them were whispering to each other.
Logically, Jiang Xiaofeng's first action should have been to come and see her. However, today, he went straight to Yue Guan and didn't even glance at her.
"Ahem, what are the two of you discussing over there?"
Turning his head and looking at that cold face, he knew that she was probably jealous because he hadn't given her a proper look lately.
"Dong'er, I..."
"Shut up! This is the Papal Palace! How dare you call me Dong'er!"
Hu Liena stood to the side, giggling.
It had been a long time since she'd seen Jiang Xiaofeng get tripped up. Watching his frustrated expression was truly enjoyable.
"..."
Jiang Xiaofeng whispered, "There are so many people here, can't you give me some face?"
"Who told you to come in without even glancing at me? Am I supposed to have become a hag overnight?"
Jiang Xiaofeng gave an awkward laugh. How unreasonable can this woman get when she's jealous?
"Teacher, we were discussing the Assessment. Because my next Assessment target is Elder Yue Guan!"
Bibi Dong looked surprised.
He never expected Jiang Xiaofeng's assessment to involve people from the Papal Palace, especially someone as familiar as Yue Guan.
"Him? Your assessment isn't going to be against him, is it? He's a 96th-rank Title Douluo, and you're only a 75th-rank Soul Sage. Are you kidding? You can't possibly win!"
Jiang Xiaofeng smiled wryly. "Wasn't it supposed to be a discussion about the plan? But that guy upstairs wouldn't allow any leniency!"
Bibi Dong looked coldly at Yue Guan.
Yue Guan hurriedly shook his head. "I don't want to either, but that particular person said that if I let up, the Saint Son's assessment will fail!"
"...Alright, when do you plan to take the assessment?"
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "Now!"
Bibi Dong seemed a little anxious.
"No, you need to fully understand him before you fight. Otherwise, the chances of failure are too high. Let's wait half a year!"
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head. "I know what you're worried about, but I can't delay any longer. Elder Yue Guan, let's go. The assessment will start soon!"
"Yes!"
Yue Guan followed Jiang Xiaofeng as they slowly left the Papal Palace. Bibi Dong and the others also went out, after all, the assessment ceremony was a rare event.
Bibi Dong walked to Jiang Xiaofeng's side.
"Be careful. A 96th-ranked Super Douluo is completely different from ordinary Title Douluos. Their biggest advantage is that their Soul Power is more profound than ordinary Title Douluos, and their attack power is stronger. Don't drag out the fight. You need to be quick!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded.
He gently stroked Bibi Dong's hair.
"Dong'er is the only one who cares about me. Come here and give me a kiss, as a reward!"
Bibi Dong immediately slapped Jiang Xiaofeng's mouth, blocking him.
"Behave yourself and focus on the assessment. Why are you being so frivolous? I'll be here cheering you on! Cheer on!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Yes!"
Hu Liena and the others also shouted in support.
"Go, Brother Feng!"
"You can do it, Brother Feng!"
"Xiaofeng, I'll support you first! Martial Soul Heavenly Book! First Soul Skill..."
In an instant, five soul-assisting powers enveloped Jiang Xiaofeng.
The last of these powers, in particular, caused Jiang Xiaofeng's abilities to surge dramatically.
Jiang Xiaofeng smiled slightly, holding the card in his hand as he called out.
"Begin the assessment!"
"BOOM!!!"
Thunder rumbled in the sky as a streak of crimson lightning descended.
"The assessment has officially begun. If the examinee, Jiang Xiaofeng, is still standing after the time it takes for one incense stick to burn, he passes!"
Following this, an incense stick fell from the sky and landed in front of the Papal Palace's entrance.
The incense wasn't ordinary; it was three or four times longer than usual.
"Damn, you're trying to screw me over!!!"
Seeing the incense, Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't help but complain.
But there was nothing he could do. He had already accepted the assessment, so he could only attack directly.
To win, he had to strike first, especially since his opponent was a Level 96 Super Douluo.
Chrysanthemum Guan, despite his plant-type Martial Soul, had transformed his Martial Soul into a sharp blade at this moment.
Jiang Xiaofeng crossed his arms in front of his chest, easily deflecting Yue Guan's attack.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body!"
"Sword Shadows!!!"
The Soul Skill brought about by a 100,000-year soul ring was beyond imagination.
Yue Guan was a Level 96 Super Douluo, and although he didn't have the bonus of a 100,000-year soul ring, he was still incredibly powerful.
Ten Jiang Xiaofengs charged towards Yue Guan from different directions.
At this moment, Yue Guan was under immense pressure. With Feng Lingling's assistance, Jiang Xiaofeng's abilities had already been boosted to a terrifying level.
Now, he possessed his Martial Soul True Body, and with the added bonus of a 100,000-year soul ring.
If he were to encounter Qian Daoliu again, the outcome wouldn't be the same as last time.
Bibi Dong watched as Jiang Xiaofeng suppressed Yue Guan.
His worried heart finally settled.
"I never expected this kid to be so powerful. Even though he's only a Soul Sage, he can actually hold his own against a Title Douluo of level 96!"
Hu Liena and the others were also quite surprised. Jiang Xiaofeng, who had once been on the same starting line as them, had already left them far behind.
Qian Renxue and the others hurried over when they heard what was happening. After all, another person undergoing a Godhood Assessment was a big deal.
I'm not very good at writing fight scenes.
