Chapter 23 Hanying Lion
"Okay, don't just stand around, introduce yourself 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 am a powerful attack soul master. I have a martial soul coiling dragon stick and am good at close combat." Wang Nan thought for a while and told him his martial soul and his areas of expertise. After all, he wanted to make a customized soul guide. Of course it needs to be a little more detailed.
Sun He nodded and motioned for the next person to continue.
"Chen Zifeng, a great soul master of the power attack system, a soul-chasing sword..."
After all the core disciples of the Martial Soul Department were introduced, several disciples of the Soul Guidance Department began to discuss in low voices. After a while, a girl came 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. I happen to be better at 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 in agreement.
With this beginning, the disciples from the Soul Guidance Department spoke one after another and started a heated discussion with the Martial Soul Department. In the end, Wang Nan stood alone with no one to choose from.
Sometimes high soul power is not necessarily a good thing. Wang Nan is the only soul master among several core disciples, which also means that it is much more difficult to help Wang Nan increase his combat power by 20% than for others. This is related to their upgrade assessment, so naturally they dare not choose at will.
Wang Nan didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, this was considered human nature, and he might have done the same thing.
But Fan Yu's expression on the side didn't look very good. He asked Sun He to bring the students here. Naturally, he had communicated with them in advance. There were the same number of people on both sides, so how could Wang Nan be left behind.
Looking over, several soul guidance disciples shrank their heads, fearing that Fan Yu would call them.
"How about I come?" A tall girl suddenly walked out of the crowd. She was half a head taller than Wang Nan. Her long hair was tied back with a green ribbon, and she looked very capable.
"My name is Lin Xiao. I can't completely guarantee that a soul master's combat power will be increased by 20% within three months. If junior brother doesn't mind, we can give it a try."
Fan Yu looked at the other soul guidance disciples with some dissatisfaction, but after seeing their silence, he said nothing more and just cast a questioning look at Wang Nan.
Wang Nan nodded, "Okay, Senior Sister Lin, please give me some advice."
…
Because there was an upgrade assessment later, Wang Nan and the others left the Soul Guidance Department without staying too long after being divided into groups.
Early the next morning, all the second-year students gathered in the beast fighting area.
On Douluo Continent, there are only a handful of academies capable of raising soul beasts in captivity. As the first soul master academy in Douluo Continent, Shrek can not only raise soul beasts in captivity, but also has the largest beast fighting area in the entire continent.
The internal Colosseum is a place specially prepared for students for 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 Sun He, the head teacher. There were more than 20 teachers standing around to protect the safety of the students.
Du Weilun, as the teaching director of the martial arts department, will naturally not be absent. He is standing on a high platform on the side of the Colosseum, announcing the start of the upgrade assessment.
Sun He patted Wang Nan on the shoulder and said, "Show off the same momentum as when you hit me during the entrance examination."
Wang Nan laughed and strode into the Colosseum.
"What are you majoring in?" the referee's voice came from the side.
"Strong attack system." "Please choose the soul beast you want to test, in units of one hundred years, from one hundred years to a maximum of one thousand years."
"Thousand years." Although Wang Nan has faced the thousand-year soul beast in the sea of spirits, it was on his home court, and with the light group helping him, this was the first time he faced the thousand-year soul beast in reality. I'm also very curious about how far I can do it.
"Are you sure?" the referee teacher asked again. After all, it was a thousand-year soul beast, so he still had to be cautious.
"Sure."
"Ready to begin."
After the referee teacher finished speaking, the sound of iron chains came from the other end of the Colosseum. Along with a strong breath, the iron gate in the distance slowly fell, and a tall figure came out.
This is a lion, all white, except for the mane around its neck, which is darker in color and reflects a light blue luster in the sunlight. As soon as it appeared, even the surrounding temperature dropped a few degrees.
Thousands of years, Han Yingshi.
As a thousand-year-old soul beast, Hanying Lion already has a certain amount of wisdom. It has been kept in captivity for a long time, so it naturally knows what coming to the Colosseum means.
Looking around, its eyes quickly locked on the opponent in this battle, so it bent its limbs slightly, lowered its entire body, and quietly crawled towards Wang Nan with the help of the fleshy pads on its feet.
This is a lion's hunting instinct. It first hides its body and sneaks up on its prey, and then uses its powerful explosive force to pounce forward, causing damage.
However, it is only a spirit beast after all, and it does not want to think that it and Wang Nan are the only ones in the Colosseum at this time. It is difficult not to be discovered no matter how much it hides its size.
Wang Nan didn't want to wait for Han Yingshi to get closer and compete with it for explosive power. Instead, he picked up the dragon stick and moved forward proactively, taking the lead before it was fully ready.
Unexpectedly, there was a trace of cunning in the blue eyes of Han Yingshi. He opened his mouth wide and a burst of ice mist rose in front of him. Wang Nan rushed forward and just got into the ice mist.
Looking at the Han Ying Lion again, he still looked like he was crawling cautiously just now. He roared angrily, raised his front legs high, and was about to shoot into the ice mist.
The moment Wang Nan got into the ice fog, he felt his movements suddenly slow down. Looking forward, he vaguely saw the Han Ying Lion attacking towards him.
He immediately understood that he had been deceived by this cold lion. First, he pretended to have no wisdom, and instinctively acted as if he wanted to make a sneak attack to attract Wang Nan to attack. Then he took the opportunity to suddenly launch a cold arrow, and then followed up with a fatal blow.
This Han Yingshi had experienced many battles in the Colosseum, and actually learned the spirit master's tricks to lure enemies.
Blocked by the ice mist, Wang Nan could no longer dodge if he retreated, so he had to raise his hands to lift the coiling dragon stick above his head and block the Hanying Lion's front legs.
Han Yingshi's slap fell, and Wang Nan felt a pain in the tiger's mouth, as if it was about to split. His legs trembled violently because of the force, and he almost knelt on the ground. But he finally stopped it.
Wang Nan pushed forward with both hands, stepped back, and left the ice mist range after a few steps. Looking at the Hanying Lion again, it raised its front feet and licked its palms, showing a disdainful look.
No, what are the senior students teaching this Han Ying Lion every day? They are both deceiving and ridiculing.
Wang Nan paused, and suddenly shouted twice. He slammed the dragon stick in his hand on the ground twice without any control, and then rushed straight towards the Hanying Lion.
Seeing the "irritated" Wang Nan, the Hanying lion repeated its old tricks, opening its mouth wide and letting out another burst of ice mist. However, just when it raised its front legs and prepared to pursue again, a stick with a glowing black light came out of the ice. He poked his head out of the mist and touched its chest.
