A wall happened to rise from under Xiao Xiao's feet.

Xiao Xiao cried out anxiously, "Tuo Tuo!"

She wanted to run towards Yuwen Tuo, but it was already too late. All the walls had transformed the entire plaza into a maze.

Moreover, this maze was constantly changing. Being inside it, one could never figure out their own position.

Not only that, but the maze would also shrink, eventually forcing everyone to the central plaza.

If one wanted to encounter fewer competitors before the final central battle, then they had to seize the time and eliminate more opponents as quickly as possible.

Most of the new students thought of first latching onto a "big thigh"¹ from the third or fourth years. After all, the older students had trained for two more years than them and had stronger soul power.

If they faced them directly, they would inevitably be targeted.

"Xiao Xiao, if you encounter an opponent, don't fight head-on. Try your best to run using the Chenghuang Riding the Wind movement technique, and head towards the central area. I'll be waiting for you there," Yuwen Tuo called out to Xiao Xiao on the other side of the wall.

Xiao Xiao replied, "I know, Tuo Tuo! You be careful too!"

At this moment, on another side, a great battle had already begun. A student wielding a snake spear was facing Bei Bei, who was known as the number one power attacker in the Outer Courtyard.

This martial soul was precisely the one passed down from the lineage of the Snake Lance Douluo of the Spirit Hall back then.

Although it was a tool martial soul, it also possessed the characteristics of a beast martial soul. Once it reached level seventy, it could achieve the rare feat of Tool Soul True Body Beast Soulification. It possessed both the resilience and strength of a tool martial soul and the beastification enhancement of a beast martial soul, truly a top-tier ability.

Even against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, it didn't fall behind for a moment.

Bei Bei was one of the two with the highest cultivation level in today's assessment. Seeing him being attacked, naturally, someone would come forward to pincer attack him, intending to eliminate this greatest threat first.

A Soul Elder with a Manticore martial soul suddenly launched a sneak attack on Bei Bei from behind. This type of martial soul not only possessed the powerful strength of a lion but also the poisonous tail of a scorpion; it could be said to combine strength and treachery.

Bei Bei sensed danger and immediately divided his attention to fight one against two. Even if he was stronger than both of them, it wasn't easy to win a one-on-two fight.

Huo Yuhao activated his Spiritual Detection, searching everywhere for Wang Dong.

This skill of his was simply cheating. In this kind of maze-like terrain, he could still survey the entire field.

"Where on earth is Wang Dong? Oh no, Senior Brother Bei Bei is being besieged! But I'm too far from him now, I can't share my Spiritual Detection with him. Huh, that's—"

Huo Yuhao suddenly detected four people.

One of them was Yuwen Tuo. It seemed he had also encountered opponents, and there were three of them.

Xie Huanyue, Huang Chutian, and Cui Yajie.

All of them were contestants who had performed brilliantly in the freshman tournament. Could it be that they also wanted to join forces to eliminate this major enemy, Yuwen Tuo, first?

This time, Huo Yuhao had overthought it; he was completely mistaken. These three would rather see a ghost than Yuwen Tuo. Encountering him was purely a coincidence of extremely bad luck.

"Not good, it's Yuwen Tuo! There's only one person on the other side, but there are only three of us here. We're outnumbered and outmatched; we're no match for him. Let's retreat first!" Xie Huanyue, as a defense-type soul master, should have been at the forefront, but at this moment, he ran faster than anyone else.

When Yuwen Tuo was at one ring, he could beat three rings. When he was at two rings, anyone below Soul Elder was insta-killed by his single slash. Now that he was at three rings, even though Xie Huanyue was a defense-type, he had absolutely no confidence in holding out.

"Xie Huanyue, where are you going?" Cui Yajie was angered by this guy's shamelessness. How could a defense-type soul master run faster than an agility-type?

Mu Jin, watching from outside, was furious. Xie Huanyue was a student in her class and even the vice class president. Yet, upon encountering Yuwen Tuo, he actually fled without a fight. This was too embarrassing for her.

Was the phrase "outnumbered and outmatched" meant to be used like this by him?

Since when was one greater than three? Was his math taught by a P.E. teacher? Did the number of opponents need another zero added before he dared to fight Yuwen Tuo?

"Since we've met, how could I let you escape?" Yuwen Tuo drew the Flame Annihilation Blade. Three soul rings—yellow, purple, and black—appeared, and then he slashed towards the three.

Wildfire Burns the Plains!

In an instant, raging flames engulfed the three.

His soul rings were also completely exposed for the first time.

"Ten-thousand-year third ring! Terrifying, this fellow is truly too terrifying!" The spectating teachers couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Even their Elder Mu En had only reached the ten-thousand-year level at his fourth ring.

But this Yuwen Tuo, his first three soul rings—yellow, purple, black—none were normal except the first one. No, actually, the first one wasn't normal either; it seemed to be an eight-hundred-year ring, which was the standard for a second ring.

"Xie Huanyue, Cui Yajie, Huang Chutian, eliminated by Yuwen Tuo!"

The broadcast announcement sounded, shocking everyone.

"This is too fast! What kind of monster is this Yuwen Tuo?" Wu Feng lamented. "No, I have to find Ning Tian as soon as possible, and I also have to avoid Yuwen Tuo."

Many others shared her thoughts. Even senior students didn't want to face Yuwen Tuo too early.

Xuan Zi watched the battle screen and muttered, "This Yuwen Tuo, after being confined for six years, how many things has he actually researched? His soul skills and cultivation techniques are clearly self-created, and their compatibility with him is unprecedentedly high. But this cultivation technique is a bit too powerful. A Soul Elder, yet his soul power quality is even stronger than a Soul King's. Whether it's the degree of condensation or purity, both are ridiculously high. Soul skills unleashed with such high-quality soul power are naturally not something an ordinary Soul Elder can withstand."

"It seems no one wants to come find me. Since that's the case, I'll go occupy the central area first." Yuwen Tuo's figure flashed, and he sprinted towards the center.

"Hee hee, Tuo Tuo is so amazing! I have to meet up with him as soon as possible. Then let's see who dares to bully me," Xiao Xiao said excitedly.

Her situation was not as good as Yuwen Tuo's; she was currently being pursued.

A fourth-year senior with a Shadow Fox martial soul.

Although she was also a Soul Elder like Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao was only level thirty-four, while the Shadow Fox was as high as level thirty-nine. There was still some gap.

Of course, Xiao Xiao possessed two ten-thousand-year soul bones. If she really fought that fox, her chances of winning were over eighty percent.

But she remembered Yuwen Tuo's words: don't fight first, prioritize running, lest she get entangled.

However, a stalemate between two people was manageable. It would be troublesome if it devolved into a multi-person melee, and even more tragic to be besieged.

"Hmph, bad woman! If you have the guts, keep chasing me! I'll be able to meet up with Tuo Tuo soon," Xiao Xiao threatened.

"Is that so? Unfortunately, you can't leave."

Just then, in front of Xiao Xiao, a huge sunflower suddenly appeared. The sunflower opened, revealing not beautiful flowers, but the terrifying illusion of a monster.

This was no ordinary sunflower, but a Ghost Sunflower mutated from the auxiliary-type Void Sunflower, a powerful control-type martial soul.

Another senior girl appeared directly in front of Xiao Xiao, sandwiching her.

It was unknown if this person was a descendant of Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo from back then, but two men, that image...

"Little sister, this senior sister also really wants to team up with junior brother Yuwen Tuo. How about you give your spot beside him to senior sister, okay? Void Sky Ghost Sunflower Absorption."

From the center of the Ghost Sunflower martial soul, a pitch-black ray shot out. Once hit by this ray, one's entire soul power would be forcibly stopped from circulating for five seconds.

"Trying to steal my Tuo Tuo? In your dreams! First Soul Skill, Cauldron's Quake!"

With a loud "Dong!" sound, Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul Suppression Cauldron quaked, actually directly dissipating the Ghost Sunflower's ray.

Originally, Xiao Xiao's soul skill didn't have such great power. But Cauldron's Quake was also a sound-type skill, and it was amplified by the Thunderclap Roar soul bone she had just absorbed not long ago.

This seemingly only hundred-year first soul skill was actually superimposed with the soul bone skill of a forty-thousand-year Thunderclap Roar soul bone.

A mere Soul Elder's attack was, of course, no match for Xiao Xiao.

However, she did indeed manage to delay Xiao Xiao for a moment. That Shadow Fox martial soul was a top-tier agility-type. Seizing this opportunity, it caught up to Xiao Xiao. But Xiao Xiao was unhurried, her left leg lashing out like the wind. The speed of her instantaneous attack was actually no less than that of an agility-type Soul Elder. This move was precisely the soul bone skill of that Ethereal Demon Leopard's left leg bone.

"What a powerful shock! This Xiao Xiao is not simple either," Xuan Zi praised. "So young, yet she already has two ten-thousand-year soul bones, and it's said she has twin martial souls. Truly quite a potential!"
