98: Senior, Nana is on.

At this moment, several figures of powerful experts rushing over could be seen in the distance.

There were three figures, all with strength ranging between Spirit Saint and Spirit Douluo.

Hu Liena was at the very back.

After she left Su Wen, she immediately went to call for help, but the people she brought back left Su Wen speechless.

He knew these people; they were all teachers from the High-Level Spirit Master Academy.

Among them was Liu Ruge, who had long black hair and was the elder sister of Liu Ruyan, whom he had met at the Spirit Master Academy before.

“His Highness the Holy Son!”

“Elder Gui!”

“Senior Brother!”

Seeing that Su Wen was unharmed and that Elder Gui was present, the three teachers breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed the trouble had been resolved by Ghost Douluo.

At the same time, they were very surprised—which faction was so bold as to dare move against His Highness the Holy Son in Spirit City?

Liu Ruge stepped forward to inquire: “His Highness the Holy Son, I wonder who dared to attack you in Spirit City?”

“It’s nothing, just a small misunderstanding.”

Su Wen didn't want them to know and cause unnecessary panic: “Elder Gui, I will explain things to Master when I return from the academy.”

Ghost Douluo nodded slightly; he needed to report this to Bibi Dong as soon as possible.

Ghost Douluo left, and Su Wen headed to the academy with the teachers. After parting ways at the entrance, Su Wen immediately began to discipline Hu Liena.

Pinching her slightly chubby cheeks, he gave her a serious reminder:

“Nana, remember for the future: when calling for backup, call the strongest person possible. Even if the opponent looks weak, you cannot underestimate them. A lion must use its full strength even when hunting a rabbit!”

“Ugh, Nana understands!”

Being suddenly tormented by Su Wen, Hu Liena didn't feel wronged; instead, there was a hint of joy in her eyes.

However, thinking of the woman from just now, she felt a bit worried: “Senior Brother, who was that woman? Someone from another Sect?”

...In Class Two of the Spirit Master Academy, when Su Wen and Hu Liena entered the classroom, the originally lively and noisy students suddenly fell silent.

The students had a rule that everyone was equal regardless of status, but the titles of Saint and Saintess were still right there.

Tian Yue, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling were already seated in their spots.

Looking at Su Wen and Hu Liena, Tian Yue stood up, her voice suddenly ringing out in the quiet environment: “Boss, you actually came to the academy today!”

“It sounds like you're not happy that I'm here.”

Su Wen and Hu Liena sat down beside them. Tian Yue curled her lip and didn't speak, so Dugu Yan couldn't help but tease: “She originally wanted to compete for first place, but now that you're here, she won't be able to!”

Ye Lingling chuckled softly beside them.

“Hmph, I don't have that kind of thought!” Tian Yue snorted with a guilty look on her face.

Hu Liena said: “Even without Senior Brother, you wouldn't be able to take first place.”

Tian Yue was instantly dissatisfied. Just as she was about to speak, a woman with long black hair entered the classroom; it was Teacher Liu, Liu Ruge, whom Su Wen had just met.

“Students!”

Liu Ruge scanned everyone present and spoke with a smile: “As you likely already know, today is an important day for the academy and marks the start of a new regulation. From today onwards, everyone must participate in Soul Fights to rank the strength of Spirit Masters. Only the top ten will be eligible to challenge the students of the Golden Class and enter the Golden Class.”

“Furthermore, for those who win the top five spots and enter the Golden Class, an exception will be made this year: the Supreme Pontiff will personally award them the Purple Record Medal.”

“Alright, you should already be familiar with the specific rules. Everyone, head to the Soul Dueling Arena now to compete with the other eight classes for the top five spots.”

The High-Level Spirit Master Academy had ten classes, with over a hundred people in each class.

Among them, the tenth class was Golden Class One, which only had thirty slots for students.

“Senior Brother, there are thirty people in the Golden Class, but only the top ten are eligible to participate in the Spirit Master Competition, so the competition is very fierce. Only by entering the top ten and obtaining the Purple Record Medal can one earn the title of the Golden Generation. This is the spiritual pillar for the young Spirit Masters of Spirit Hall.”

“But Senior Brother is so powerful, it will definitely be no problem.”

On the way to the Soul Dueling Arena, Hu Liena flattered Su Wen. Her clingy, bird-like demeanor made the surrounding students' hearts itch with envy.

Hu Liena possessed extraordinary talent and beauty, and she was already the goddess of many in the academy. The person beside her was the Saint; if it were anyone else, they would have charged forward long ago.

“What about Lingling?”

Su Wen looked at Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan spoke up first: “Don't worry about that. I'll be taking Lingling with me. Academy rules state that support-type Spirit Masters can rely on a Battle Soul Master, and the opponent can also choose a partner.”

Su Wen didn't say anything more. Dugu Yan was already a Rank 40 Spirit Master but had not yet obtained her spirit ring.

After Dugu Yan reached Rank 38, because she hadn't consumed an Immortal Plant, her Cultivation speed was very slow, barely managing to go up one rank in four months.

Once she obtained her spirit ring, Su Wen planned to let her try an Immortal Plant.

The Soul Dueling Arena was very large; it didn't feel crowded even with over a thousand Spirit Masters.

There were four soul fighting stages. Teachers would select students to challenge other classes, and the winners would then compete with members of their own class for rankings.

The rules were simple. The competition was presided over by the teachers of the nine classes and the Vice Dean. The entire tournament would last for a month. If a student was injured, they could rest for a maximum of two days; failing to participate would result in an automatic forfeit.

The match between Class Two and Class Seven was very intense, with students from both classes being eliminated. Su Wen sat in his seat, quietly observing potential talents.

In the original story, the only person currently in the Golden Class was Hu Liena. The others had not yet reached Rank 30, so they did not participate in this Soul Fight.

“Nana, it's your turn to go up!”

Liu Ruge came over to urge her: “Show those people from Class Seven what you're made of.”

“Senior Brother, Nana is going up!”

Hu Liena shook her small fist and walked onto the soul fighting stage with great excitement.

Tian Yue said: “Hmph, if you lose, don't you dare mention my name.”

Hu Liena glared at her. The moment she stood on the stage, her temperament was no longer gentle but revealed a sharp edge... She stood with one hand on her hip, her body slightly tilted to show off her exquisite curves. She wore a pink vest on her upper body wrapped in black tight-fitting clothes, and short pink hot pants on her lower body. Every small movement exuded an invisible, alluring Charm.

As a result, as soon as she stepped onto the soul fighting stage, those Spirit Masters with weak Heart-Nature and low Mental Energy showed rapid breathing and infatuation.

Several teachers sighed in admiration. This was only directed at ordinary Spirit Masters; if it were directed at an ordinary army, she could probably hook them all like fish.

“Hu Liena, Rank 37 Battle Soul Master!”

Hu Liena's Spirit had transformed into the Nine-Tailed Fox. Therefore, Bibi Dong had readjusted her development path, and Su Wen had also intervened. Now, Hu Liena followed both the power attack and control paths, which was the true essence of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox (Celestial Fox) Spirit.

Yellow, Purple, Purple!

Three extraordinary spirit rings rose, but the surrounding people did not show surprise; they had seen it more than once.

“Tushan Niuniu, Rank 38 Battle Soul Master. Your Highness the Saintess, please advise me.”
