Chapter 23: Cold Lion "Okay, don't just stand there, introduce yourselves first so that you seniors can get to know each other." Sun He stood up after Fan Yu finished speaking, "Wang Nan, let's start with you." "My name is Wang Nan. I'm a soul master of strong attack. My martial soul is the Panlong Stick, and I'm good at close combat." Wang Nan thought about it and told his martial soul and his strengths. After all, he wanted to make a soul guide tailor-made for him, so naturally he had to be a little more detailed. Sun He nodded and signaled the next person to continue. "Chen Zifeng, a powerful attacking spirit master, with the spirit soul chasing sword..." After all the core disciples from the Wuhun Department were introduced, several disciples from the Soul Guidance Department began to discuss in a low voice. After a while, a girl walked out from the opposite side. "I just heard that Junior Sister Ling Luochen's martial soul is ice, and her main attack direction is control. It just so happens that I am more proficient in defensive soul guides. I can make a soul guide for Junior Sister that can improve her mobility and defense capabilities. I wonder if Junior Sister agrees?" Ling Luochen didn't like to talk, so he just nodded slightly to show his agreement. With this beginning, the disciples from the Soul Guidance Department started to speak up and had a heated discussion with the Martial Soul Department. In the end, only Wang Nan was standing there alone with no one making a choice. Sometimes having high soul power is not necessarily a good thing. Wang Nan is the only soul master among the core disciples, which means it is much more difficult to help Wang Nan improve his combat power by 20% than for others. This is related to their upgrade assessment, so naturally they dare not choose arbitrarily.
Wang Nan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, it was human nature and he might have done the same if he were in her shoes. However, Fan Yu's expression was not very good. He asked Sun He to bring the students here, of course, he had discussed it in advance, and the number of people on both sides was the same, so how could Wang Nan be left behind. As his eyes swept over, several Soul Guidance Department disciples shrank their heads, fearing that Fan Yu would call them. "How about I do it?" A tall girl suddenly walked out of the crowd. She was half a head taller than Wang Nan, with long hair tied behind her head with a green ribbon, looking very capable. "My name is Lin Xiao. I can't guarantee that I can increase a Soul Master's combat power by 20% in three months. If you don't mind, we can give it a try." Fan Yu looked at the other Soul Guidance disciples with some dissatisfaction, but after seeing how they were silent as a cicada in fear, he said nothing more and just gave Wang Nan a questioning look. Wang Nan nodded, "Okay, Senior Sister Lin, please give me more advice." …… Because there were still upgrade assessments to come, Wang Nan and his companions left the Soul Guidance Department without staying for too long after they were divided into groups. The next morning, all the second-year students gathered in the beast fighting area. In Douluo Continent, there are only a handful of academies that are capable of raising soul beasts. As the first soul master academy in Douluo Continent, Shrek not only has the ability to raise soul beasts, but also has the largest beast fighting area in the entire continent. The Colosseum inside is a place specially prepared for students to conduct practical training and assessment. After receiving the assessment form, Wang Nan, as the strongest student in the second grade, stood at the front. Next to him was the head teacher Sun He. There were more than 20 teachers standing around to protect the students' safety. Du Weilun, the director of the Wuhun Department, would naturally not be absent. He was standing on a high platform on one side of the Colosseum, announcing the start of the upgrade assessment. Sun He patted Wang Nan on the shoulder and said, "Use the same momentum you used to beat me during the entrance exam." Wang Nan laughed and strode into the Colosseum. "What is your major?" The referee's voice came from the side. "Strong attack system." "Please select the soul beast you want to test. The unit is one hundred years, ranging from one hundred years to a maximum of one thousand years." “A thousand years.” Although Wang Nan had faced a thousand-year soul beast in the sea of consciousness, that was in his own home court, and he had the help of that ball of light. This was also the first time he faced a thousand-year soul beast in reality, and he was also very curious about what he could do.
"Are you sure?" the referee asked again. After all, it was a thousand-year-old soul beast, so he had to be more cautious. "determine." "Ready to begin." As the referee finished speaking, the sound of iron chains came from the other end of the arena, accompanied by a strong aura. The iron gate in the distance slowly fell down, and a tall figure walked out. This is a lion, its body is snow-white, only the mane around its neck is darker, reflecting a bit of light blue luster in the sun. As soon as it appeared, even the surrounding temperature dropped by several degrees. Thousand years, cold and British lion. As a thousand-year-old soul beast, the Hanying Lion already has a certain degree of intelligence. It has been in captivity for a long time, so it naturally knows very well what it means to come to the Colosseum. Looking around, its eyes quickly locked onto its opponent in this battle, so it slightly bent its limbs, lowered its entire body, and, relying on the pads on its feet, crawled silently towards Wang Nan. This is the lion's hunting instinct. It first hides its body and quietly approaches its prey, then uses its powerful explosive power to pounce forward and cause damage. However, it is just a soul beast after all, and it does not think that there are only it and Wang Nan in the arena at this moment. With its huge body, it would be difficult to avoid being discovered no matter how hard it hides. Wang Nan did not want to wait for the Han Yingshi to approach so as to compete with it in explosive power. Instead, he picked up the Panlong Stick and took the initiative to move forward, taking the initiative to attack before it was fully prepared. Unexpectedly, a hint of cunning appeared in the cold lion's azure eyes. It opened its mouth wide and a cloud of ice mist rose in front of it. Wang Nan rushed forward and just got into the ice mist. Looking at the Hanying Lion again, it no longer had the cautious look it had just been crawling on. It roared angrily, raised its front legs high, and was about to rush into the ice fog. The moment Wang Nan entered the ice fog, he felt his movements suddenly slow down. Looking forward, he dimly saw the Han Ying Lion attacking him. He immediately realized that he had been tricked by this cold lion. First, it pretended to be unintelligent and instinctively pretended to want to launch a sneak attack to attract Wang Nan to attack, then it took the opportunity to shoot a cold arrow and then followed up with a fatal blow. This Han Yingshi had experienced many battles in the Colosseum and had actually learned the soul masters' methods of luring the enemy. Blocked by the ice fog, Wang Nan could no longer dodge and had to raise his hands to hold the Panlong Stick above his head to block the Han Yingshi's front legs. When Han Yingshi slapped him, Wang Nan felt a pain in his palm, as if it was about to split. His legs also trembled violently because of the force, and he almost fell to the ground. But he finally stopped it. Wang Nan pushed his hands forward and stepped back, leaving the ice fog after a few steps. Looking at the Hanying lion again, it raised its front paw and licked its palm, revealing a disdainful look. No, the senior students are teaching this Hanying Lion something every day, cheating and mocking him. Wang Nan paused, and suddenly shouted twice. He smashed the Panlong Stick in his hand on the ground twice in a random manner, and then rushed straight towards Han Yingshi. Seeing the "enraged" Wang Nan, Han Yingshi repeated its old trick and opened its mouth wide to release another puff of icy mist. However, just as it raised its front legs and prepared to chase again, a stick with a black glow emerged from the icy mist and touched its chest. (End of this chapter)
