Regarding the changes in the Lan Susu sisters, as their team leader, Huang Chutian had witnessed it all with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat envious.
Unable to restrain himself, he opened his mouth and said:
"May I also ask… would it be possible for me to join the Holy Flame Sect as well?"
The Lan sisters exchanged a glance.
"We're still in our assessment period, it's not easy for us to speak on such matters," Lan Luoluo replied tactfully. "But since you were also once in Class One, perhaps you could try speaking directly with Yuhao?"
Huang Chutian's face darkened, and he fell silent.
Not long ago, he had taken the lead in backstabbing Huo Yuhao, and the mocking words he had said were still fresh in his memory.
Moreover, even Dean Yan himself had spoken up at the time—did he dare openly go against his words now?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt.
His own "possession" was about to be stolen away from him, yet there was nothing he could do.
So infuriating!!!

…Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao had no idea he was once again being resented.
Their opponents for the second round, however, were rather formidable.
"I know you three—Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao!" a short-haired girl with bright red hair declared loudly. "I am Wu Feng, from Class Nine, a Rank 25 Assault System Battle Soul Master! This time, if you dare to send out just one of you again, you will be utterly defeated!"
A girl with long light-green hair spoke softly, "Nanmen Yun'er, Rank 24 Agility System Battle Soul Master."
Finally, the blonde girl spoke faintly, "Ning Tian, Rank 31 Support System Tool Soul Elder."
Wang Dong suddenly understood.
So it was a three-ring Soul Elder from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, capable of amplifying others' attributes by forty percent.
No wonder Wu Feng was so arrogant.
"This time, things are a little troublesome. Do you two still plan to persist with a one-versus-three?" Huo Yuhao asked. "I will provide spiritual detection sharing. The rest will be up to you."
He summoned his Spirit Eyes and activated his first soul skill, then immediately retreated to the edge of the stage.
[Xiao Xiao: Wang Dong, since they've got the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support, how about one-on-one each?]
The sudden spiritual voice transmission made Wang Dong pause for a moment.
Since when did Xiao Xiao…?
[Xiao Xiao: Just a little trick. Ask the class monitor to teach you later. For now, focus on the match. Which one do you want to take?]
Before Wang Dong could choose, Ning Tian had already summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Her first and third soul rings lit up.
"Seven Treasures are Glazed! Seven Treasures shine: The First—Strength! The Third—Soul!"
Four streaks of light shot out, pouring into Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er's bodies.
Both of them immediately activated their Martial Soul Possessions and charged in from both sides, pincer-attacking Wang Dong.
They opened up with full firepower right from the start!
"Heh! Do they take me for some soft watermelon to be squeezed?" Wang Dong let out an amused snort. "Xiao Xiao, don't interfere. I can handle this!"
Xiao Xiao looked troubled and sent a spiritual query to Huo Yuhao.
[Huo Yuhao: Trust him.]
[Xiao Xiao: Alright, then I'll just provide some support.]
Xiao Xiao summoned her Martial Soul, the Nine Phoenixes Accompanying the Lute.
Her first soul ring lit up.
First Soul Skill: Slow!
Invisible ripples of sound spread outward, slightly slowing Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er's movements.
"Seven Treasures are Glazed! Seven Treasures shine: The Second—Resolve!"
Ning Tian's second soul ring glowed, sending out two more streams of light into Wu Feng and Yun'er.
Their slowed speed instantly returned to normal and even rose again.
"Huh?" Wang Dong said in surprise. "Doesn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's Martial Soul have its first seven soul skills fixed as attribute boosts?"
No one answered him—their attacks had already reached him.
Wang Dong summoned the Light Goddess Butterfly, soaring into the air to avoid their joint assault.
His wings spread wide, releasing golden patterns that condensed into clusters of small light orbs, shooting toward Ning Tian in the rear.
Second Soul Skill: Butterfly Goddess's Radiance!
As an Agility System soul master, Nanmen Yun'er quickly fell back to protect.
Activating her first soul skill, Jade Blade, she cut down the first wave of light orbs, shielding Ning Tian as they dodged.
Wu Feng leapt high into the air, her two soul rings flashing.
First Soul Skill: Dragon Fire!
Second Soul Skill: Dragon's Fury!
Her right fist transformed into a flaming dragon claw, surging with a dragon's roar as it struck at Wang Dong.
Rip—!
However, it was Wu Feng's clothing that first gave way, bursting apart to reveal the graceful figure of a sixteen-year-old maiden, the tight fabric stretched into exaggerated lines.
Had it been a man facing this, he would likely have been hard-controlled for at least a moment.
Unfortunately for her, it was Wang Dong.
Without even using a soul skill, Wang Dong rotated midair, his right leg lashing out like lightning to collide fiercely with the dragon claw.
Boom!
Wang Dong staggered slightly in midair, but he turned with the force, channeling the momentum through his body and releasing it with his left leg in another powerful kick.
Wu Feng again swung her claw to counter, only to have Wang Dong once more redirect, borrow her force, and unleash another whip kick!
Three rapid exchanges in succession, and Wu Feng's strength gave out, sending her plummeting from the sky.
Wang Dong pursued relentlessly, sticking close to her with the same technique, each whip kick growing even stronger.
"Is this some kind of combat technique similar to the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method?" Ning Tian shouted.
"Don't get entangled with him, retreat!"
Wu Feng wanted to cry—was retreating something she could simply do because Ning Tian told her to?
Wang Dong's twisting movements carried with them a flow of air that locked onto her position.
If she tried to withdraw now, she would undoubtedly eat a vicious, solid kick!
Seeing her predicament, Nanmen Yun'er dove forward.
Second Soul Skill: Jade Slash!
The attack locked onto Wang Dong, preventing him from redirecting the force.
First Soul Skill: Jade Blade!
Her arms turned into jade-green blades, slashing straight for Wang Dong's wings!
Wu Feng coordinated with a fierce claw strike, forcing Wang Dong into a tight spot.
Xiao Xiao quickly played her Nine Phoenix Lute, trying to buy Wang Dong a moment to breathe.
But Ning Tian had anticipated this.
Her second soul skill, Resolve, was already cast in advance, dispelling Xiao Xiao's Slow.
The effect barely took hold before it was wiped away.
Xiao Xiao stomped her foot.
Damn it! She had been read completely!
In contrast, Huo Yuhao stood calmly at the sidelines, showing no intention of moving at all.
Surrounded on both sides, Wang Dong made his move.
His wings spread wide, blocking Wu Feng and Yun'er's vision.
Abandoning his leg techniques, he wrapped both fists with dense soul power, as though preparing to go head-on against Wu Feng's flaming dragon claw.
But at the final instant before collision, Wang Dong's hands slithered like snakes, coiling around Wu Feng's fist.
Withdrawing his wings, he curled his body into a side roll, using a tugging motion to hurl Wu Feng straight backward, directly into the path of Nanmen Yun'er's slash!
Dragon Claw and Jade Blade were about to collide violently.
Having committed fully to their attacks, the two girls had no time to withdraw and could only twist desperately at the last moment to avoid killing each other.
They managed to narrowly avert self-destruction, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, their hearts lurched again!
Their amplifications had vanished!
Could it be…?
In a panic, they turned their heads toward Ning Tian, only to see Wang Dong's wings crossed like a guillotine against her pale, slender neck.
In such a situation, Ning Tian naturally could no longer continue her support.
She waved to the approaching Wu Feng and Yun'er.
"This round, we've lost."
At that moment, Wang Yan announced the result.
Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er said nothing, only glaring at Wang Dong with burning eyes.
How infuriating!
This guy was like a loach—slippery and impossible to pin down.
Unable to hit him, unable to grab him. And in the blink of an eye, he had stolen their base!
"That just now was also the Taichi concept from the Holy Flame Sect." Wang Dong smiled brightly. "Want to learn? Join the Holy Flame Sect, and we'll teach you!"
Ning Tian's heart gave a slight tremor.
As a Support System soul master—and a girl besides—only she knew how much she longed to "become stronger!"
In this battle, Wang Dong had used only his second soul skill at the very beginning.
After that, he hadn't relied on soul rings at all.
That alone was enough to prove the strength of this Taichi Fist.
Perhaps… it was worth a try?
"Hey!"
Wu Feng rushed forward, roaring..
"Ning Tian already admitted defeat! Why are you still holding her?!"
"Let her go at once!"
