The introductions began with Ma Xiaotao.
Aside from the original main lineup.....Xixi, Chen Zifeng, Yao Haoxuan, Ling Luochen, Dai Yuheng, and Gongyang Mo....most of the Inner Court students sent by Yan Shaozhe were unfamiliar to Su Wen.
Their overall strength hovered around the Soul King level.
Xixi and Yao Haoxuan had only recently broken through, clearly a tier below Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng.
"Alright, Xiao Wen, your turn."
Yan Shaozhe smiled warmly.
Even though Su Wen had not officially enrolled yet.....and Xian Lin'er still hadn't given up on poaching him...
Yan Shaozhe already regarded him as a direct disciple of the Martial Soul Department.
As his words fell, curious gazes gathered immediately.
Especially from Xixi and Yao Haoxuan. They had heard plenty about Su Wen within the Inner Court, but today was the first time seeing him in person.
"Su Wen. Level thirty Summoning-type Soul Elder."
Su Wen flashed a bright smile.
Everyone: "..."
"Uh… junior brother,"
Yao Haoxuan raised his hand, completely baffled.
"Can I ask… what exactly is this summoning type thing?"
"It means summoning soul beasts," Su Wen replied calmly.
"…No."
Yao Haoxuan's mouth twitched.
Every word made sense individually.
Put together.....he understood nothing.
Since when did summoning types even exist?!
"He's telling the truth."
Yan Shaozhe's smile widened.
"After he returns from the Star Dou Forest with his third soul ring… hehe. You'll all be pleasantly surprised."
This special training would last a full month.
So even though Su Wen and Ma Xiaotao would leave for the Star Dou Forest in two days, Yan Shaozhe would still call them back. The real training would officially begin after they returned.
"Huh?!"
With Yan Shaozhe personally vouching for him, the previously relaxed expressions instantly froze.
Yan Shaozhe's authority in the Martial Soul Department exceeded even Xuanzi's.
No one doubted his words.
"Just soul power alone....
a ten-year-old Soul Elder… I've never seen that in my life."
Even Chen Zifeng couldn't help blurting out a curse.
Ling Luochen glanced at Su Wen, clearly calculating something.
"Enough talk. Let's begin."
Yan Shaozhe waved his hand.
"Reassign teams. Dai Yuheng and Xiao Tao will each lead one."
"I want Su Wen!"
Ma Xiaotao shouted excitedly.
"No."
Ling Luochen stepped forward and grabbed Su Wen's sleeve.
"First round—he's with us."
"If we're rotating teams, he can't stay on one side forever."
"..."
Ma Xiaotao ground her teeth, glaring at her former best friend.
Ling Luochen remained calm and indifferent.
Thus, for the first round, Su Wen joined Dai Yuheng, Ling Luochen, and their group.
Dai Yuheng's head throbbed.
Now he had to assign someone to protect Su Wen.
A level-thirty body was fragile—too fragile. The opposing team would probably have to tiptoe around him.
Wasn't this just adding trouble?
The two teams took their positions.
At the far edge, Su Wen stood beside Ling Luochen. Until he obtained his third soul skill, his main value lay in enabling her.
"Buff me."
Ling Luochen turned, her crystal-blue eyes softening slightly.
"Got it."
Su Wen nodded.
They had interacted over the years.
Only.....Ling Luochen had always acted like a thief, afraid Ma Xiaotao would find out.
Today, she didn't even bother hiding it.
Whether these plastic sisters would split for good… who knew.
"Match start!"
With Yan Shaozhe's announcement.....
Both sides moved.
"Chi—!"
Flames erupted as Ma Xiaotao transformed, her Fire Phoenix blazing as she charged straight toward Su Wen's team.
The pressure from the strongest presence on the field was undeniable.
It was Su Wen's first time facing Ma Xiaotao at full power.
Scorching heat surged forward. Sweat immediately formed on his brow.
Then
A cool, smooth sensation wrapped around his hand.
Ling Luochen had suddenly grabbed him, fingers interlaced tightly with his.
Seeing the normally icy Ling Luochen break into a radiant smile, Su Wen was stunned.
She can smile like that?
"What are you spacing out for?"
Ling Luochen's cheeks flushed slightly as she scolded him softly.
"Buff me!"
"Oh—right."
Su Wen nodded.
Space rippled beside him.
Ice Sovereign materialized, and in an instant, extreme cold flooded the arena. Frost spread rapidly across the ground.
Even Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Flames were suppressed.
Seeing their fingers tightly interlocked.....
Ma Xiaotao's face twisted with rage.
"LING LUOCHEN!!!"
Home invaded!
Unforgivable!
"What's going on? Why is Luochen's ice this strong?"
Yao Haoxuan stared in shock.
"It's Su Wen...
that's an Ice Jade Scorpion. Extreme Ice! He has an extreme attribute?!"
Everyone knew how terrifying extreme attributes were.
Ma Xiaotao's power came primarily from Phoenix Flames...but even that was only a pseudo-extreme.
There was still a gap.
