After that, rumbling and noise responded from deep within. Qian Lei’s Soul Power and Spiritual Power surged out immediately. His Soul Power was completely exhausted, not a drop left. The Gate of Summoning had consumed all the Soul Power in his body and produced a second sound as though a channel had connected.

Directly across them, the figures of the three students appeared.

Relatively speaking, the defending champions definitely had the upper hand, as they had made preparations beforehand; this was the concept of being a defending champion.

Across from Lan Xuanyu’s team were three girls, one of the three teams comprised fully of girls in the Elite Junior class.

But they could not be underestimated, for their strengths were definitely not inferior to the boys’.

Lan Xuanyu naturally recognized them, as they were all classmates.

Standing in the middle was the leader, who was also the tallest girl in the class. Being half a head taller than Ye Lingtong, she had a tall and slender figure. She had a graceful appearance, and despite her eyes being small, they sparkled with brilliance and intellect.

Zhang Ruiyan, the leader of Dorm room 304 and the team leader of the group.

Two other elegant-looking girls flanked her sides. To her left was the petite and nimble Shu Xiangyi, while Tong Mengru, who was more prominent for being muscular and thick, stood to her right.

Amongst the girl groups, team 304’s strength was considered to be in the middle in the entire class.

“Go!” Zhang Ruiyan gave the order and charged towards Lan Xuanyu and his team immediately while activating her yellow Soul Ring, which rose from her feet. A bright light sparkled above her head, formed a ball of light, and shot out a light arrow that flew straight for Liu Feng with its dazzling light.

It was Zhang Ruiyan’s Martial Soul, an elemental capable of controlling light. Her first Soul Skill was called the Solar Convergence and was capable of taking on a myriad of forms.

On her left, Shu Xiangyi lowered her form and unleashed an explosive speed to the side. Her figure became somewhat illusory and faintly discernible, as though her physical body was flickering between dimensions.

Shu Xiangyi’s Martial Soul was the Illusion cat, a rarely seen Martial Soul. The greatest advantage of the illusion cat laid not in combat, but in reconnaissance, cover, and concealment. This was the reason why she was recruited into the Elite Junior class. The illusion cat would not appear to be strong in its early stages, but upon cultivating to a certain degree and gaining corresponding Soul Skills, it would make the best assassin. Due to this, there was a teacher that specially catered to her education in the Elite Junior class.

On the other hand, Tong Mengru was on the opposite end of the spectrum to her. With a wave of her hand, a heavy sledgehammer and a yellow Soul Ring appeared.

The sledgehammer head was cylindrical and had faint decorative designs. Wielding the heavy sledgehammer, she took large strides forward and followed Zhang Ruiyan towards Lan Xuanyu and his team members in an imposing manner, a ferocious and violent glint appearing in her eyes. She was well-known in the class as the muscular girl who unleashed her sledgehammer at the slightest of arguments. Even Jin Xiang the troublemaker did not dare provoke her.

They were a trio that formed a team with three completely different battle styles.

Lan Xuanyu summoned an ice shield with a wave of his hand and deflected the light arrow instead of taking it head on. The problem with light element attacks was that without sufficient firepower, they were easily deflected. Lan Xuanyu’s water element control was undoubtedly stronger, and by relying on the amplification of the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass, he was able to respond immediately while using the least bit of effort.

At this moment, Shu Xiangyi was already at the furthest flank, her target being Qian Lei.

Everyone had the impression that Qian Lei was an unreliable person with his even less reliable summons! But despite this, there were bound to be moments where he could be dependable. The best plan was undoubtedly to get rid of him and prevent him from completing a summon.

Shu Xiangyi increased her speed to its peak and took the opportunity towards Qian Lei when the light arrow exploded into a sky full of light and distracted everyone else.

But right at that moment, there came a low growl.

What Lan Xuanyu had provided Qian Lei was not only a change in his summoning, but also a decrease in his summoning speed.

When the low growl came out, everyone aside from Lan Xuanyu felt their heart skip a beat. An ominous and powerful aura suddenly spread throughout the entire stage.

“Ding!” Shu Xiangyi swiped down with her cat claw, only to come into contact with what seemed like a metal board, causing her fingernails to break. Although the pain level in the simulation pod was low, it still caused the girl to yelp and retreat.

However, something extremely heavy suddenly swept forward and collided with her body, as though a sledgehammer had hammered right into her path.

With a ‘bang’, Shu Xiangyi transformed into a beam of light and disappeared.

It was only then that everyone clearly saw the ‘culprit’ of the instant K.O.

It was a reptile that had just crawled out of the Gate of Summoning. The creature looked like an enormous lizard that was covered completely in dark green scales. With a height of over seven meters, it had a disproportionately large head. When it opened its mouth, everyone felt as though the creature was capable of swallowing everything in the world.

It was this reptilian head that struck Shu Xiangyi. Having been caught off guard and being a cultivator with only one Soul Ring, Shu Xiangyi was unable to react and was instantly killed.

A Crocodile Dragon! A ground dragon of the Eastern dragon species. It was a rarely seen soul beast even in reality, to the extent that even with Lan Xuanyu’s memories, he was incapable of distinguishing the level of the crocodile dragon.

The crocodile dragon had instantly killed Shu Xiangyi with its head, but its next action caused the entire spectator stand to be stunned.

It actually lowered its huge head to Lan Xuanyu’s feet and proceeded to cautiously rub against his feet with gentless.

That’s right, rub...

This...

Zhang Ruiyan and Tong Mengru were dumbstruck by the scene. Was the summon a success? Were they just too unlucky? Regardless of how they looked at it, the crocodile dragon was definitely not weak!

“Let’s attack.” Lan Xuanyu appeared to be used to the intimacy between Qian Lei’s summons and himself. The crocodile dragon raised its head after hearing Lan Xuanyu’s order and looked towards Zhang Ruiyan and Tong Mengru. It stood up and opened its ferocious mouth, then proceeded to charge towards the two girls with large strides.

It was a seven-meter tall crocodile dragon! Although it was not the strongest of ground dragons, it was in no way weak at all. In any case, it had a trace of the true dragon blood coursing through its veins.

As soon as it swaggered forth, the surrounding air tensed up.

At this point, the inner quality of the elite junior class became apparent. If it had been any other Soul Master of the same age, they would have been scared immobile upon facing the ferocious crocodile dragon. However, Zhang Ruiyan and Tong Mengru responded instantly.

Tong Mengru moved in large strides and let out a shout as her body suddenly flickered and shot three meters forward like lightning. Her Soul Ring sparkled with light as she swung the heavy sledgehammer with both hands towards the crocodile dragon.

Zhang Ruiyan controlled the ball of light above her head and unleashed two light arrows straight towards the crocodile dragon’s eyes.

It was a pity though that the opponent in front of them was simply too strong. The crocodile dragon in front of them suddenly stopped and performed a spin, sending out the long tail behind it. By doing so, it actually avoided Tong Mengru’s heavy sledgehammer, causing her attack to miss and land on the ground.

The two light arrows struck the crocodile dragon’s scales but did not even leave a mark. However, the large tail actually found its way to Tong Mengru.

Tong Mengru was only able to perform a leap while using the sledgehammer to block her front. But in the next moment, her entire being was swept away, along with the sledgehammer.

Qian Lei laughed. His summoned creature was interlinked to his thoughts. The crocodile dragon’s counterattack was accomplished under his control.

The crocodile dragon ignored Tong Mengru and pounced at Zhang Ruiyan.

A rain of light arrows fell, but they were incapable of breaking the crocodile dragon’s defense. With a scream, Zhang Ruiyan left the battle.

All that was left was Tong Mengru, who originally wanted to charge at Lan Xuanyu and the trio in an attempt to destroy however much she could. A pity, she was not an agility type Soul Master and the crocodile dragon was definitely not slow. In the end, it obstructed her path.
