35 Sun Zan's True Strength

As it came closing in on the Fiery Molten Ape, though it wasn't moving fast, it appeared as though it were walking slowly even at a speed of 30km an hour! The female demon's hands grew even darker in color as it reached the Molten Ape's stomach and pressed one of its palms tightly

Roar* Roar*

With the other palm, Chen Jingyi's monster slammed down its other palm onto the same spot as it blew back the Fiery Molten Ape over dozens of meters whilst it crashed through some rubble lying around on the ground which halted it from being blown out completely

Roar* Roar*

The two attacks by the female demon dealt devastating damage to the Fiery Molten Ape as the cracks in its armor became larger as it slowly began to crumble and fall apart on its own

Crack*

After all its earthen armour shed off, the Fiery Molten Ape roared as it gathered both fire and earth element energy inside its mouth. Not only that, with its armour off, the Molten Ape became more nimble and agile as it ran on its feet coming closer and closer to Chen Jingyi's monster

As it came closer, the energy gathered formed a large ball as it fired it towards the female demon

Bzz* Bzz*

Shee* Shee*

The female demon laughed as it waited for the energy ball to come closer before it blasted a small energy ball from its palm. That same energy from the demon expanded in size as it reached for the Molten Ape's attack and completely neutralized the attack whilst its own one came brushing by the Fiery Molten Ape

Roar*

After that attack, the Fiery Molten Ape was no longer able to battle. Seeing this, the other students from both sides withdrew their monsters. Just as the referee was about to call for the end of the match, Sun Zan said loudly, "Wait!"

"What's wrong, student Sun Zan?" the referee asked puzzled

"I can still fight, don't call it off yet." Sun Zan replied

"But your monster is down… What do you??"

Before the referee could even finish his sentence, with a flash of purple light, a yellow monkey that was much smaller than the Fiery Molten Ape in both size and weight appeared and replaced the Molten Ape on the field

"Wha!..." the referee gasped

"No way!!!! Sun Zan still has another monster?!" someone in the crowd yelled as he almost cracked his own voice from that

"Incredible! Sun Zan will be famous in the future!!!" another student yelled

"Sun Zan! I want your babies!!!" some female students screamed

"..."

Suddenly, a recruiter from the War God Academy said loudly "An exceptional genius! To be able to have another monster means his soul is extraordinary! Sun Zan! Whether you win or lose this fight, the War God Academy will welcome you!"

The human soul. A source of power or energy which remains a mystery to humanity. Some may have doubted that it existed. However, now a thousand years later, all humans would believe in its power

Throughout history, very few had been born with 2 or even 3 monsters. The reason for that is the human soul itself! When forming a contract with a monster from the age of four, the human soul would manifest as a source of power that takes in the contracted monster

Those with exceptional souls would be able to take in more monsters and no known reason for that could be explained. Many believe that only those born with such exceptional souls were blessings from heaven that would lead humanity to a greater path

In the past, a legend spread throughout humanity about a flower called the Soul Expanse flower that like the name implies could expand the size of the human soul which would enable them to form a contract with another monster

Though this was just a legend and its existence was never proven

Shortly afterward, the recruiters from Nine Peaks Academy shouted "We the Nine Peaks Academy also welcomes you with open arms!"

"So do we the Heaven's Gate Academy!" one from the Heaven Gate Academy shouted too

"What? Are you picking a fight? I called for him first!" the War God Academy recruiter shouted at the other two

"So what? It's not a first come first serve business! Sun Zan if you come to the Nine Peaks Academy, we will immediately place you in the genius class and provide you with an extra 10% of our resources!"

"What? Just 10%? We at Heaven's Gate will offer 20%!"

"Pfft! You want to fight with me using a measly 20%? We at the War God Academy will offer 40%!"

"What?!"

Hearing that offer, the other two recruiters wanted to puke blood whilst the War God recruiter gave the other two a sly smile

…

"I was right wasn't I?" Ye Qin said

"Of course, I knew it was possible when you said it the other day." Wang Tao nodded

Mo Qiu sitting down turned around and asked "What? Ye Qin, you already knew this? How?"

Cough*

Ye Qin coughed a few times as a bead of sweat slid down his forehead as he replied slowly "Err, I don't really know, cough*. I was sensitive in feeling the energy of people's soul power since I was little so I guessed."

Wang Tao wanted to laugh as he covered his mouth listening to Ye Qin's excuse which somehow managed to convince Mo Qiu since she didn't say anything afterward making Wang Tao frown slightly

"Wtf? That works too?" he thought

…

"I see.." the referee said in shock

"The match is not over! Student Sun Zan is still able to battle, match resume!"

Sun Zan nodded as his lightning element monkey which was the size of a female human in height and had some thin limbs that lacked some power but was made up for in agility and speed

[Monster: Thunder Gale Monkey]

[Grade: Rare]

[Level: 20]

[Type: Beast (Ape)]

[Element: Lightning and Wind]

Sun Zan's Thunder Gale Monkey has golden fur that spread throughout its body whilst some parts of its body had winged like armour that covered its chest, shoulders, wrists, ankles and head. It's long tail that hung by its side was over 1 meter in length whilst the end of it is shaped like a bolt of lightning

Standing proudly on the field, the Thunder Gale Monkey had a golden sword in one hand that was as long as its tail and in the other, a purple short sword that was half the length of the golden sword

Ooh! Ohh! Ah! Ah!

The Thunder Gale Monkey cried as it lowered its body and took the stance of a martial artist whilst pointing its sharp weapons at Chen Jingyi's demon

"Now that I look at it properly, doesn't it seem kinda similar to him?" Wang Tao whispered to Ye Qin

Ye Qin whispered back without catching Mo Qiu or Tang Yaling's attention "Indeed, though it's future growth won't be as high as his."

"True, how can a king lose to its subjects." Wang Tao nodded as he paid attention back to the field down below
