100: Ghost soldiers borrow a path

"Senior Brother, why don't you go up?"

Hu Liena hugged Su Wen's arm and shook it gently twice.

Tian Yue's eyes darted around, and a smile spread across her face. "Hee hee, Boss, you just got a spirit ring; let us see how powerful it is!"

As she spoke, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling also looked at Su Wen expectantly.

"Su Wen, it's your turn. Defeat Class Seven in one go!"

Liu Ruge walked over with a chuckle, looking a bit mischievous. She seemed very happy to see Bai Ningbing's bitter expression.

"Mm."

Su Wen withdrew his arm from their grasp and walked toward the Soul Fighting stage.

Su Wen's movements attracted many people's attention.

Several teachers and the Vice Dean on the high platform also looked over.

After Su Wen entered the High-Level Spirit Master Academy, he rarely came to study. Even when he did, no one had ever seen him fight.

As the Saint, he could be said to receive extra attention.

When Su Wen stepped onto the Soul Fighting stage, almost all eyes shifted to him.

"Lu Bai, Spirit: Wind-breaking Sword, Level 45 Battle Soul Master!"

"Su Wen, Spirit: Wedding Dress Ghost Emperor, Level 45 Battle Soul Master!"

Su Wen announced his name, following the local custom.

He didn't reveal his spirit rings; he just reached out, and a red oil-paper umbrella appeared in his palm.

Two yellow and two purple—the four best spirit ring configuration—appeared around Lu Bai.

A rusty iron sword appeared in his hand. It looked ordinary, but the blade was surrounded by wind attributes and corrosive power.

"His Highness the Holy Son, if you don't show your spirit rings, I will attack."

"My Wind-breaking Sword is also known as the Tetanus Sword. Anyone injured by it, as long as their Soul Power is lower than mine, will have their wound continuously corroded until death. Even I cannot stop it."

Lu Bai's voice carried a hint of warning.

"No need to call me Saint, just call me by my name. There is no distinction of status while studying at the Spirit Master Academy. You can attack me with all your strength."

Su Wen smiled, then looked at his red oil-paper umbrella. "I choose you, Hong Yin!"

As a new bridesmaid, Su Wen wanted to see how strong she was.

Hum!

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly as red mist drifted out.

Ghost Bride · Hong Yin.

Appeared.

Her clothing and the four extraordinary spirit rings beneath her feet were revealed.

One yellow, one purple, and two black.

Except for the teachers and the Vice Dean, who were already mentally prepared, everyone's pupils dilated.

They could accept Tian Yue's spirit rings being one yellow, two purple, and one black.

But a configuration of one yellow, one purple, and two black was unimaginable.

The third spirit ring was black?

Isn't that something only a Spirit King can achieve?

According to what they had learned, a ten-thousand-year spirit ring comes with a Soul Shock.

One needs the Mental Energy of a Spirit King to resist it.

His Highness the Holy Son is only a Spirit Elder!

"Wait, did you notice? Su Wen's spirit rings aren't showing, and there isn't even a Soul Power fluctuation on him. This Ghost Bride just appeared out of thin air. Could it be that she wasn't summoned by Su Wen?"

Some teachers who paid attention to details noticed something unusual.

"Indeed. And this Ghost Bride isn't holding the mirror Spirit recorded last time. Did the Spirit change, or is there another Ghost Bride?"

"Ahem, this isn't something we should be investigating. Just watch the match."

Just as several teachers were about to start a discussion, the Vice Dean interrupted them.

Immediately, the teachers fell silent and stopped discussing the secrets surrounding Su Wen.

To become teachers, they all had their strengths, and some things should not be probed too deeply.

However, the students below fell into a heated debate.

Many had never seen the Ghost Bride, and her Chinese-style clothing, in particular, prompted many girls to investigate.

Dong!

At that moment, the small drum in the Ghost Bride's hand suddenly sounded.

The sky and earth changed color, the sun was obscured, gale-force winds rose, and a patch of mist appeared around them without warning.

The Soul Fighting stage beneath their feet cracked, a ghost hand reached out, and then a Ghost Soul clad in Chinese-style armor crawled out.

It was 1.8 meters tall, its entire body covered in black armor. There was no flesh inside the armor, only a mass of black mist. Its face was also a mass of mist, with only a pair of blood-red eyes being particularly prominent.

It held a black shield in its left hand and a sword in its right, and the Yin Qi on its body was extremely thick.

Then, one after another, Ghost Soldiers like him appeared.

In less than two breaths, the Soul Dueling Arena was filled with Ghost Soldiers.

Over two hundred people, each emitting an aura between level 10 and 19. Among them was a special ghost soldier who was even taller, seemingly the leader at level 21.

Yet it didn't stop there. As another patch of ground cracked, another hundred or so soldiers appeared.

They held long spears, their auras between level 20 and 29, and they also had a special leader at level 31.

Behind them, another patch of ground cracked, revealing another hundred or so Ghost Soldiers. Unlike the others, they all held bows and arrows, their strength between level 31 and 39, with a leader at level 41.

The entire Soul Dueling Arena was crowded with Ghost Soldiers, but their steps were orderly, and their ghostly aura shook the heavens.

Hazy mist surrounded the area, and it was filled with a chilling Yin Qi.

The sense of pressure was immense.

The sword in Lu Bai's hand fell to the ground as he stared blankly.

The teachers and the Vice Dean on the stage all stood up abruptly.

It was actually a summoning-type Spirit Ability, and it summoned a group of things they had never seen before—ghostly creatures that made one feel a chill at first glance.

The students below had long since fallen silent. Some who were afraid of ghosts even covered their eyes, not daring to breathe loudly.

Wow!

Tian Yue's eyes sparkled, thinking it looked so cool.

Hu Liena also recovered from her shock and nodded in agreement.

"Are these all ghosts?"

Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask.

Ye Lingling said, "They should be. I don't see any signs of life in them anyway!"

Su Wen was also startled. Hong Yin was truly a one-ghost army.

To think she could summon so many at once!

As the front row of Ghost Soldiers pushed forward, the clashing of armor echoed, bringing many people back to their senses.

Lu Bai clutched his head and cried out in a breakdown, "I surrender..."

Class Two's Su Wen wins!

The instructor in charge of presiding swallowed hard.

Watching Lu Bai run off the Soul Fighting stage trembling.

He looked at Su Wen. "You can withdraw your Spirit Ability now."

"No need, let's just go to the next match!"

Su Wen waved his hand, feeling that the Soul Power in Hong Yin could last for a while.

"This... alright!"

The instructor turned his gaze to Bai Ningbing of Class Seven. "Teacher Bai, have the next student come up immediately."

Bai Ningbing's face was full of bitterness. Who would dare go up?

Even the older students didn't have this kind of strength. Unless their Soul Power was exceptionally strong and could destroy an entire army, they had no chance of winning.

She sighed inwardly; being defeated was better than acting like a coward.

But when she looked at the students of Class Seven, they all lowered their heads, clearly none of them daring to attempt the challenge.

Bai Ningbing raised an eyebrow and her gaze fell directly on a young girl. "Qian Xier, you go."

Qian Xier slowly raised her small hand. "Teacher, I'm afraid of ghosts!"

Bai Ningbing's mouth twitched. "You have the Two-winged Angel Spirit, and you're afraid of ghosts? Go up and purify them!"

Seeing Qian Xier keep her head down without speaking, Bai Ningbing helplessly looked at another chubby boy. "Pang Huzi, you go."

"Teacher, I'm also afraid of ghosts!"

"Take a look in the mirror, and you won't be afraid of ghosts when you go up."
