Chapter 58 Huo Yuhao Cheating Again.
Just then, a powerful aura emanated from the open iron gate in the distance, and a tall figure slowly emerged from the beast enclosure.
This soul beast was over three meters tall. Standing upright, its brownish-yellow fur exuded a faint fishy smell; it was clearly a giant bear.
The most striking feature of this giant bear was its eyes, pale red pupils filled with a cold, ruthless aura.
The thousand-year-old soul beast Wang Dong was about to face was called the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear, a powerful earth-attribute being.
Standing opposite each other, the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear didn't seem particularly fast, but it slowly approached Wang Dong with a fierce expression. However, Wang Dong merely kept changing positions near the viewing platform, showing no intention of attacking.
But just as the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear was about thirty meters away from Wang Dong, it suddenly lowered its forelimbs, switching to a quadrupedal stance, and charged forward with a ferocious burst of speed.
The sudden change startled Wang Dong. He instinctively stopped and dodged several meters to the side.
Seeing this, the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear suddenly accelerated again, its entire body radiating a thick layer of bloody light, charging towards Wang Dong like a red cloud.
The thirty-meter distance was covered in almost two breaths. Wang Dong seemed unable to react in time; the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's massive paw, carrying a burst of bloody light, slammed towards him.
The referees were ready to pounce, and the judges on the platform frowned.
At that moment, a 3D image quietly appeared in Wang Dong's mind. Not far away, at the edge of the arena, a faint golden light appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
Sensing this faint mental fluctuation that even a Soul Douluo couldn't detect, Wu Xuan coldly snorted, his almost tangible, intangible mental power transforming into a sharp point, slamming into the mental power linked to Wang Dong.
Huo Yuhao, not far away, let out a muffled groan, his body suddenly convulsing violently, and the next moment he collapsed to the ground. The students from Class 1 of the first year, seeing Huo Yuhao's condition, assumed he was frightened and rushed to help him.
However, many other students looked on with disdain; for a second-year student to be so easily frightened in this situation was unprecedented.
Wu Xuan didn't even bother to look at the pale-faced Huo Yuhao. In this serious setting, with almost half the teachers from the outer academy present, if it weren't for the sake of Class 1's reputation, he would have made Huo Yuhao famous.
He didn't care how they fought outside, nor did he care. But cheating in Class 1 of the second year, especially in a promotion exam, was unacceptable. He couldn't turn a blind eye.
At this moment, the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's massive paw was already in front of Wang Dong in the arena. With the brief assistance of mental detection, Wang Dong reacted quickly, dodging sharply. The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's claw almost grazed his body.
And at this moment, Wang Dong was at the side of the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear.
"First Soul Skill, Winged Guillotine!"
A pair of forewings unfurled, making a scissor-like motion, sweeping across the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's neck.
This thousand-year-old Bloodthirsty Demon Bear was formidable; sensing its mistake after missing its target, the crimson light emanating from its body suddenly turned yellow, and its brownish-yellow fur instantly hardened like iron.
Wang Dong's first soul skill, Winged Guillotine, made contact with its tough fur, sparking a series of sparks and producing a piercing friction sound.
Wang Dong, having landed a successful blow, did not pursue. With a flap of his wings, he instantly retreated five meters, dodging the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's frenzied counterattack.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear, in pain, let out an angry roar, its massive body rising upright, its pale red eyes suddenly turning blood red. Its ferocious gleam was fully revealed, and its already robust body swelled even larger. Innate Skill: Bloodlust.
As its bloodlust took hold, even its fur turned crimson, emanating a strong, pungent stench, before it lunged at Wang Dong once more. At the same moment, a blinding yellow light erupted from its front paws.
Wang Dong spread his wings and forcefully flapped them forward, propelling himself backward. It seemed he was trying to increase the distance between himself and the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear.
What's going on! Why hasn't Yuhao's mental link been shared with him yet?
In that instant of pause, the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear, having activated its Bloodthirsty skill, significantly increased its speed, preventing Wang Dong from retreating unscathed.
Although the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's front paws didn't strike Wang Dong, they slammed into the ground in front of him. Instantly, a powerful yellow halo erupted.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's earth-attribute skill, Earthquake Wave, had been unleashed. The terrifying shockwave sent the retreating Wang Dong flying, eliciting gasps from the spectators.
A panicked Wang Dong suddenly flapped the wings of his Light Goddess Butterfly, using the force to land on the ground and roll, dodging another attack from the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear.
"Damn bear!" a somewhat disheveled Wang Dong cursed, slightly lowering his wings. At the same time, his second purple spirit ring shone brightly.
"Second Soul Skill, Butterfly God's Light!"
All the golden spots on the blue wings of the Goddess of Light, Butterfly Xuan, instantly shone brightly. Then, amidst the burst of golden light, a series of terrifying bombardments rang out.
Although the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear charged and dodged, its fur was still charred black by the dense barrage of golden light.
Wang Dong's body drifted out, and at the same time, his dazzling blue wings all turned a brilliant gold. His third soul ring shone brightly.
"Third Soul Skill, Butterfly God's Slash!"
A crimson-gold sphere appeared between Wang Dong's palms. Under the burst of light, the crimson-gold sphere expanded at an astonishing speed, instantly growing to over a foot in diameter. Intense golden lightning swirled around the sphere, illuminating Wang Dong and turning him entirely gold.
Strands of curved golden light shot out suddenly.
Despite the bombardment of the Butterfly God's Light, the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear wasn't seriously injured. Instead, it unleashed its ferocity, its entire body now radiating an unparalleled aura of savagery.
Facing the crimson-gold light, the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear raised its front paws, a ball of yellow light instantly converging towards Wang Dong. The next moment, a small shield materialized, subtly blocking its path.
The pale yellow shield, while unable to completely block Wang Dong's Butterfly God's Slash, greatly weakened its power.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear roared, spurting blood. Upon closer inspection, its entire back was torn and stained crimson with blood.
After unleashing its third soul skill, Wang Dong swayed slightly, his face pale. However, the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear wouldn't give Wang Dong time to recover, charging towards him with a ferocious aura.
"Alright, the assessment is over," Du Weiren's voice rang out from the platform.
The two referees, receiving the order, acted simultaneously, subduing the charging Bloodthirsty Demon Bear and ending the upgrade assessment.
Without the judges even speaking, the trainees could see that Wang Dong's challenge had failed.
Du Weilun, his face grim, said in a deep voice, "Wang Dong, facing the highest-level thousand-year soul beast assessment, with a base score of one hundred, you misjudged your own strength and fought the soul beast to the death, putting yourself in danger. Therefore, your challenge failed, and you will receive fifty points for the base score."
"Your performance in the battle was poor, and your combat skills lacked any highlights. Therefore, your skill score is fifty points, resulting in zero points."
"Your final score is fifty points. You have passed the assessment!"
