In their second year, the senior students have already spent a year at the Demon City Martial School.

During this time, they not only have access to various training resources but also receive guidance from professional mentors.

More importantly, every student who advances to the second year has undoubtedly survived intense battles. They have experience fighting Soul Beasts and have killed at least five Level 1 Soul Beasts. If they haven't, they would be held back.

In comparison, Chen Fan, who just graduated from high school, isn't seen as promising.

His stance on stage makes him look like a complete rookie. If he were to enter the Soul Beast Hunting Ground, who knows how much he'd suffer!

The senior students watching from below seem to have already predicted the outcome of this match.

On stage, after Chen Fan and the senior released their Martial Souls, they both entered a state of Martial Soul possession.

However, the senior didn't immediately take the next step because, in his eyes, Chen Fan was full of openings.

Once he made his move, the match would soon be over. Bai Xiaoluo's purpose in sending him was to temper Chen Fan, and ending the fight too easily wouldn't achieve that.

Chen Fan knew what he lacked compared to the senior. But the more he realized this, the more he wanted to try.

So, Chen Fan charged forward! He quickly advanced towards the senior, using a tricky step to suddenly appear at his side, then unleashed a Soul Power-enhanced iron fist!

The senior remained unfazed, sidestepping to avoid Chen Fan's attack. Missing his target, Chen Fan didn't dare to pause.

At that moment, the senior's iron fist came straight for Chen Fan's face. With no time to dodge, Chen Fan crossed his arms to block, using all his strength to defend.

The senior smiled, as this was exactly what he wanted—Chen Fan's defense! Then, the senior's Martial Soul shadow appeared, and a purple light on it lit up, activating an Intermediate Soul Stone skill.

"Ice Rain!" the senior said calmly. Immediately, a barrage of extremely cold ice rain assaulted Chen Fan.

Chen Fan chose to endure it, but soon realized his mistake. The ice rain, though seemingly not very damaging, was extremely cold. As it landed on him, it began to freeze, threatening to encase him completely.

Many seniors watching shook their heads in resignation. "He's lost, nothing more to see here."

"The rookie lacks combat experience; his only advantage is the Dragon-type Martial Soul's Pressure Aura."

"But the opponent has an Elemental Martial Soul, which isn't affected."

"I thought there might be a comeback!"

Seeing Chen Fan getting frozen, the seniors knew he was about to lose.

Chen Fan, feeling helpless, realized his limbs were freezing, and his Soul Power circulation was slowing.

If this continued, he'd lose all ability to fight. He couldn't wait any longer!

With a roar, Chen Fan's Soul Power surged, shattering the ice covering him. He pushed off with his toes, quickly distancing himself from the senior.

The senior made no move to chase him. In his view, unless Chen Fan had a powerful trump card, he was destined to lose.

After creating some distance, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon shadow appeared behind Chen Fan.

To everyone's shock, a black light suddenly lit up on the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Martial Soul. This black light was dazzling in their eyes.

"Black!"

"Impossible, how can it be black?" The crowd was stunned.

This black light indicated the fusion of an Advanced Soul Stone.

Some seniors had Advanced Soul Stones, but they were at least their second or third Soul Stones.

How could a Level 1 Martial Artist like Chen Fan fuse an Advanced Soul Stone?

No one could answer their questions. Then, Chen Fan immediately activated the Soul Stone skill.

"Rising Dragon Fist!" he silently chanted.

The Five-clawed Golden Dragon shadow behind him soared, transforming into golden lights.

Upon closer inspection, these golden lights were mini versions of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon!

As Chen Fan punched, the mini dragons shot out like raindrops, covering the area in front of him.

The senior, with nowhere to hide, assumed a defensive stance.

But was an Advanced Soul Stone skill so easily defended against? The answer came quickly.

The moment the mini dragons hit the senior, they exploded! With the Dragon's Pressure Aura, their armor-piercing trait was fully revealed.

More mini dragons hit the senior, causing ripples in his Soul Power until his defenses were completely breached. More mini dragons struck his body, causing explosive damage.

Amidst the explosions, the senior hurriedly shouted, "I concede!"

As soon as he spoke, Chen Fan stopped using the Soul Stone skill, and the mini dragons vanished.

Only two seconds had passed since Chen Fan used the skill, but his Soul Power was more than half depleted.

Despite this, Chen Fan was quite satisfied with the Rising Dragon Fist skill.

Long-range attack, wide coverage! The feeling of leaving the opponent with nowhere to hide was exhilarating!

If he had known this skill was so powerful, he wouldn't have bothered with punches.

He'd have covered the entire area from the start, ending the fight quickly. Unfortunately, the skill's duration wasn't long enough.

If the opponent could last three seconds, Chen Fan would have to retreat.

The senior approached, saying, "Junior, your skill is very powerful!"

The pain of being hit after his defenses were breached was not something an average person could endure.

But the senior also saw what Chen Fan lacked. First, Chen Fan wasn't adept at using his Soul Power.

Otherwise, the damage from the mini dragons would have been greater.

Second, he wasn't very familiar with his Soul Stone skill. If the senior had seized the opportunity, he could have interrupted Chen Fan's skill activation.

After hearing this, Chen Fan replied, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

The senior smiled, "I wouldn't dare call it guidance! You might surpass me soon!"

The senior was amazed by Chen Fan's talent. Not only did he have a Dragon-type Martial Soul, but his first Skill Soul Stone was an Advanced Soul Stone!

This was beyond what ordinary talent could achieve. Moreover, Chen Fan's first Soul Stone skill was a group attack skill!

The feeling of being inescapable was despairing! Not to mention, it had an armor-piercing trait...

Once Chen Fan overcame his weaknesses, the senior couldn't imagine the outcome.

The two of them stepped off the stage, surrounded by curious students. While Chen Fan defeating a senior was impressive, his Advanced Soul Stone skill was even more shocking.

When questioned, Chen Fan claimed it was just luck. The crowd didn't believe him, but without more information, they couldn't uncover the truth.

After this match, many seniors remembered the freshman rookie.

After the crowd dispersed, Bai Xiaoluo watched Chen Fan with a smile.

Chen Fan, seeing Bai Xiaoluo's scrutinizing gaze, said helplessly, "Senior brother, don't look at me like that. I'm afraid..." Bai Xiaoluo continued to smile silently.

He found his junior brother increasingly intriguing.
