Senior now also has the cultivation of a Soul Grandmaster, and possesses two Millennium Soul Rings.
Dai Huabin was able to defeat a Millennium Soul Beast, and Senior was equally confident, wanting to achieve a kill. This way, Senior might be able to get a score similar to Dai Huabin's.
Another Millennium Soul Beast was released, different from the one Dai Huabin had faced before.
The battle began, and Wang Dong used his flying advantage to engage in a struggle with this Millennium Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear.
Senior was very agile and held the aerial advantage, making it truly difficult for the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear to harm Senior.
Wang Dong used his advantage to attack the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear, also being quite cautious.
It was difficult for the opponent to attack Senior, but once it did, it would inevitably be a serious injury that Senior might not be able to withstand.
The onlookers were also surprised by Wang Dong's strength, especially after witnessing the power of Senior's second Millennium Soul Ring ability, which left them even more amazed.
Dai Huabin watched nervously, praying in his heart that Wang Dong would not succeed and would not achieve a score close to his.
Shi Yu was also relatively silent. As long as Wang Dong's score did not exceed Dai Huabin's, they could at least ensure they would not lose.
Once Wang Dong's score exceeded Dai Huabin's, there would be no need to compete further.
Huo Yuhao was equally nervous, hoping that Wang Dong could achieve the same score as Dai Huabin, or even surpass it.
Wang Dong attacked with all his might. This Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear had thick skin and tough flesh, enduring many of Senior's attacks.
This made Wang Dong feel somewhat anxious. If the Time Senior took exceeded Dai Huabin's, even if Senior ultimately killed the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear, Senior would not get a higher score.
Senior not only had to kill the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear but also do it in less Time than Dai Huabin.
With this thought in mind, Wang Dong used Senior's third Soul ability, the powerful Butterfly God Slash, which attacked and severely injured the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear.
"Roar!" The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear let out a mournful cry filled with pain, fleeing in the direction away from Wang Dong, having no intention of continuing the fight.
"Don't run!" Wang Dong pursued, wanting to press the advantage and deliver a fatal blow to the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear.
Senior swooped down towards the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear, Senior's judgment somewhat affected by anxiety.
It was at this moment that the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear suddenly attacked. Its thick bear paw struck out, leaving Wang Dong wanting to react but somewhat unable to.
Everyone thought the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear had lost its fighting ability and was at Senior's mercy.
Who would have thought the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear could still deliver such a powerful blow, catching Wang Dong somewhat off guard.
Wang Dong was struck by the bear paw and sent flying far away, blood appearing at the corner of Senior's mouth. Senior's chest burned with pain; this paw had injured Senior quite badly.
"Good!" Dai Huabin cheered, punching the air.
Shi Yu also revealed a smile.
Huo Yuhao's expression changed. This Wang Dong was still too anxious. If Senior had been a little more steady, Senior wouldn't have suffered this loss.
"You're courting death!" Wang Dong's killing intent intensified. Senior was determined to kill this Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear that dared to attack Senior again.
After one strike, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear continued to flee, wanting to return to where it had been before.
Wang Dong pursued, not intending to let the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear go.
Gong Lao suddenly appeared and stopped Wang Dong, saying in a deep voice, "The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear has surrendered. The assessment is over!"
This Academy member actually wanted to kill Senior's Soul Beast. Did Senior really think taming a Millennium Soul Beast was that easy?
"But Shi Yu..." Wang Dong was unwilling. Why was this Teacher stopping Senior?
"You have already proven that you have the strength to kill this Millennium Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear. That is enough. There's no need to actually kill it," Gong Lao said sternly.
"Then the score?" Wang Dong asked.
"It can be calculated as if you killed the Soul Beast. Ask the assessment Teacher for the specific amount; they will give a score based on a comprehensive evaluation," Gong Lao said.
"Okay!" Upon learning that Senior would also get points, Wang Dong smiled and went to inquire with the assessment Teacher.
At this moment, the focus of the entire venue was the assessment Teacher, curious about what score Wang Dong would receive. Would it also be ninety-five?
Shi Yu, Dai Huabin, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong were relatively nervous, waiting for the scores to be released.
After careful consideration, the assessment Teacher gave a high score of ninety-four points.
This was currently the third-highest score. The first was Huo Yuhao, one hundred points; the second was Dai Huabin, ninety-five; and the third was Wang Dong, ninety-four.
"Why is my score one point lower than Dai Huabin's? Even if Shi Yu'm not higher than Dai Huabin, Shi Yu shouldn't be lower than Senior!" Wang Dong argued, somewhat dissatisfied with this score.
Dai Huabin also felt dissatisfied. Senior naturally thought this score was too high.
Huo Yuhao could accept this score and truly didn't believe Shi Yu could get a high score of ninety-nine points. As for getting a hundred points like Senior, that should be impossible.
Thinking this way, they were basically in an undefeated position. Even if they didn't win, it wouldn't count as a loss.
The assessment Teacher knew they were having a bet, so Senior also took the rare opportunity to explain why Senior only gave Wang Dong ninety-four points.
"The one-point difference is mainly because Wang Dong had a natural advantage when facing the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear, which is flight."
"Normally, a flying-type Soul Master like Wang Dong should face a flying-type Soul Beast to be considered fair."
"It's just that it's not convenient to raise flying-type Soul Beasts within the Academy, so there are no flying-type Soul Beasts available for Academy members to use in combat assessments."
"Using a non-flying Soul Beast like the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear to assess flying-type Soul Masters gives them a natural advantage, and naturally, some base points must be deducted."
"Only lowering your score by one point was also considering that the Time you took to defeat the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear was not longer than Dai Huabin's earlier Time."
"Otherwise, normally, the base score should be reduced by at least three points."
"Ninety-four points is a very fair score. If you don't accept it, then I will change it to ninety-two points," the assessment Teacher said, becoming stern at the end.
Senior's scores were all based on reason and evidence, given after considering various circumstances, and there was absolutely no partiality involved.
Many classmates felt that it made sense. Flying-type Soul Masters indeed had a natural advantage when facing non-flying Soul Beasts.
The battle between Wang Dong and the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear just now was a good illustration of this point.
If it weren't for the flying advantage, even if Wang Dong could defeat this Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear, it might have been a very close victory.
"Flying is my Martial Soul ability. Dai Huabin has Senior's Martial Soul advantage, and Shi Yu have mine. It's not my fault that the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear can't fly," Wang Dong still wanted to argue, very unconvinced.
"Are you sure you want to keep arguing?" The assessment Teacher's words contained a threat. Wang Dong still wanted to say something else.
"Wang Dong!" Huo Yuhao called out to Wang Dong, shaking Senior's head. Now was not the Time to argue anymore, otherwise, Senior might really have Senior's score lowered.
"Hmph!" Wang Dong snorted, leaving in a huff.
"This is unfair!" Wang Dong complained to Huo Yuhao after returning.
"You still think it's unfair? Shi Yu even think it's unfair that the score was too high!" Dai Huabin snorted lightly.
