Chapter 62 Prophecy
The white demon snake struggled painfully, twisting its body frantically in an attempt to throw Su Yu off its back, but Su Yu remained firmly seated on its back.
However, after struggling for a while, the White Condensing Demon Serpent clearly felt that it could not shake the human off its body. A white halo appeared in its scarlet eyes, and then ice crystals continued to spread across its body.
The White Condensing Serpent's ice-attribute skill, Extreme Ice Spike.
There is a significant difference between thousand-year-old soul beasts and hundred-year-old soul beasts: hundred-year-old soul beasts may only have the ability to attack from a distance, while thousand-year-old soul beasts will definitely have soul skills that can attack from a distance or in an area.
It must be said that after the White Condensation Demon Serpent gained intelligence, it became much smarter than those brainless soul beasts. Originally a ranged thrusting skill, once it hit the opponent, it instantly formed hard ice, restricting the movement of the hand.
Now that the idea was being applied to him, Su Yu nodded slightly. Sure enough, he had some brains; it seemed he did have some intelligence.
The ice spikes continued to spread towards Su Yu, and the referees on both sides were also somewhat nervous. If Su Yu could not withstand these ice spikes, they would intervene immediately, but once they intervened, it would mean that Su Yu had failed the test.
Battles between spirit beasts and spirit masters can sometimes be very short, with a single detail determining the outcome, but they can also be very long, especially when both sides are evenly matched.
Just as the White Condensing Demon Serpent's icy spikes were about to strike Su Yu, Su Yu slowly stood up, bent slightly, and raised his right hand, slamming his fist heavily onto the White Condensing Demon Serpent's back.
A series of ice shards were shattered by this punch, and the White Condensing Demon Serpent's soul skill was instantly broken. Therefore, the terrifying power was completely poured onto the White Condensing Demon Serpent's back.
The white serpent's body trembled violently, then let out a painful wail. The second soul ring on Su Yu's back slowly lit up, and a black mist appeared, completely engulfing Su Yu's figure.
Just as the White Serpent was about to escape, the longsword that had been floating in the air fell straight down, as if by divine retribution, and pierced the White Serpent's tail, pinning it to the ground.
As the smoke cleared, a young man wielding two swords slowly stood before the White Condensing Demon Serpent. Before him, the White Condensing Demon Serpent roared in agony, struggling frantically to break free from the giant sword that had pinned it to the ground.
A cold light emerged from the twin swords in Su Yu's hands, the blades gleaming with a chilling light. Then, the young man flashed and appeared directly beside the White Condensing Demon Serpent. Under everyone's watchful eyes, the twin swords fell and pierced directly into the White Condensing Demon Serpent's body.
Roar……
The white serpent lunged at Su Yu, but Su Yu stepped forward and disappeared from its sight. Although the white serpent had broken free from the sword that Su Yu had used to restrict its movements, it still couldn't touch Su Yu at all.
In just a few breaths, Su Yu had already made a series of moves, leaving long bloody marks on his abdomen, back, and tail.
Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Su Yu, the White Condensing Demon Serpent finally felt fear. It struggled to raise its head, looked at the human boy before it, and barely managed to condense a white halo, which transformed into ice armor, encasing its body in solid ice.
It wasn't that it didn't want to fight back, but it simply couldn't touch this human at all. Even when it had several chances to strike with its full power, for some reason, this human would mysteriously reappear in another direction.
As a thousand-year-old soul beast, its defense is not as fragile as that of a hundred-year-old soul beast. After being tormented by Su Yu for several minutes, this White Condensing Demon Serpent had almost lost its ability to fight back and could only coil itself up and curl up in a small corner.
At this moment, the White Condensing Demon Serpent realized that the humans in front of it had turned into a cloud of black mist and slowly dissipated. Only then did Wang Dong suddenly realize that the person who had been fighting the White Condensing Demon Serpent was Su Yu's clone.
This stems from Su Yu's second soul skill, Illusory Shadow.
"So you even fooled me. Looks like you didn't miss out on much during your vacation. Luckily, this handsome guy is already on the Third Ring Road, or you would have really outdone me."
Wang Dong, watching from the stands, couldn't help but sigh. Su Yu's strength was indeed within his expectations, but he didn't expect the battle to end so quickly.
"Alright, Su Yu, the assessment is over."
Du Weiren, standing in the stands, didn't make a move and simply sat quietly on top of the white demonic serpent's head.
If Su Yu didn't get a high score in this assessment, it would be an absolute injustice.
Even without the referee saying anything, everyone could guess that Su Yu's score was not perfect, but it was very close to perfect.
This is a detail that no one noticed: Su Yu's complexion remained normal, which also indicates that Su Yu did not suffer much exhaustion!
After discussing for a while, Du Weilun and Yan Shaozhe on stage made their decision as judges.
Everyone thought it would be Du Weilun who spoke, but unexpectedly it was Yan Shaozhe who spoke first. Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice, "Second-year student Su Yu, facing the highest level thousand-year soul beast assessment, the base score is one hundred points. Based on your attack calculations, the White Condensing Demon Serpent would have been killed one hundred percent, but you still did not exert your full strength, so you are only given ninety points as the base score. Your performance in the battle was perfect, and you can get full marks for combat skills."
During the upgrade assessment, different soul beasts have different base scores. The lowest-level hundred-year-old soul beasts only have a base score of ten points. Only by demonstrating outstanding combat skills and defeating a soul beast with a hundred years of cultivation can one pass the assessment.
The thousand-year-old soul beast that Su Yu chose already had a base score of over one hundred. Adding the fifty points for combat skills, the maximum score was one hundred and fifty.
The second-year advancement exam only requires a score of 30 to pass. In other words, even if he fails to defeat the White Serpent Demon, his score will easily exceed 30.
However, Su Yu, who thought he would get a perfect score, only got 140 points this time. But Su Yu didn't care about the score; he just wanted to know Yan Shaozhe's final evaluation of him.
In the original story, Wang Dong also lost fifty points. He wanted to know how many points he would lose if he didn't go all out.
Actually, he never expected that Yan Shaozhe and the others would discover that he hadn't used his full strength.
"However, the White Condensing Demon Serpent is an ice-type magical beast, and its defense and attack power are among the best of the thousand-year-old magical beasts. Although you have a 100% chance of killing it, due to your underestimation of its opponent, even with a 100% chance, you could still be killed by the soul beast due to carelessness. As a soul master, we should approach every battle with rigor, and regardless of the opponent's strength, we should go all out. Therefore, after discussing with Director Du, we have decided to deduct 40 points from your score. Thus, your final score in the assessment is 100 points. You have passed the upgrade assessment."
Du Weilun remained silent throughout. The reason Yan Shaozhe spoke was because of Su Yu's special status; only Yan Shaozhe's words could convince Su Yu.
The verdict was not surprising; as long as he could pass the test, he didn't care about the score or anything like that.
What he cares about is his own strength, just how strong he really is.
Back in the stands, Wang Dong, with a resentful expression, said, "This is so unfair! They deducted so much!"
Su Yu remained calm and said, "If I remember correctly, you should be in the same group as Xiao Xiao, right?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Wang Dong asked, somewhat puzzled. He couldn't understand why they were paired with Xiao Xiao while he went to the Soul Guidance Department.
"Don't ask me that. You should think about what you're going to do later. Don't tell me that our Squad Leader Wang, you don't even dare to challenge a thousand-year-old soul beast." Su Yu said, turning to leave the assessment area.
Before leaving, Su Yu walked to Wang Dong's side and slowly said, "Squad Leader Wang, since I sent Huo Yuhao to the Spirit System, I naturally had my reasons. Please look forward to Huo Yuhao's upcoming assessment. After all, Xiao Xiao isn't the only one with twin spirits, hahaha..."
After leaving behind this inexplicable sentence, Su Yu turned and left. He already knew what would happen next, so there was no need to stay any longer.
"What the hell? What are you, you bastard?" He made up an excuse that the Soul Guidance Department also had an assessment, and then left the assessment site openly.
And so, Wang, the squad leader, was left looking bewildered. The next assessment was for Wang Dong, who again chose the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear. With Huo Yuhao's help, he finally got a perfect score of 100.
Next up was Dai Huabin. This guy, with his competitive nature, put on a bloody and violent performance in front of everyone, ultimately earning the highest score of the night, 145 points!
After receiving the score, he gave a disdainful smile in Wang Dong's direction, as if showing off his achievement.
"If Su Yu were here, you definitely wouldn't dare to be so arrogant. What are you doing acting so cocky here? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you?"
Seeing Dai Huabin's contemptuous look, Wang Dong was also a little angry. So what if he got a high score? Is it necessary to show off like this?
What happened next left Wang Dong speechless with astonishment.
Because Su Yu's words came true...
Huo Yuhao's performance as expected surprised everyone: twin martial souls!
Secondly, the martial soul is still the ultimate ice!
How exactly did Su Yu discover this?
This problem left Wang Dong completely perplexed. He didn't know why Su Yu seemed to have a premonition of everything he did.
Although he was just like him, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, Su Yu seemed to be shrouded in countless mysteries.
When Huo Yuhao came out of the teaching building, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao went up to him and looked at him as if he were a monster.
Wang Dong asked, "Do you possess twin martial souls?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I was about to say. How did you know?"
