[Under everyone's gaze, Yu Xiaogang's expression remained calm.]
[He knew his upcoming battle was the focus, but he did not fear the challenge.]
["Fan Yun, Meng Yan, you two come up and have a match first."]
[Zhao Xunxing looked around and finally called out two names.]
[Hearing these two names, many people were somewhat disappointed. Of course, it was only a little, as they knew Yu Xiaogang couldn't escape this battle.]
[Soon, the two called names came to the center of the field and began their sparring match under Zhao Xunxing's instructions.]
[Both were four-ring Spirit Ancestors, and both had the optimal spirit ring configuration.]
[This kind of battle among the younger generation could only be easily seen within the Spirit Master Academy.]
[Before long, the battle ended, and Zhao Xunxing called the next group.]
[In this way, as time passed, students went up one by one and completed their battles.]
["Next group, Qin Haoyue, your opponent..."]
[At this point, Zhao Xunxing's gaze finally landed on Yu Xiaogang.]
["Your opponent is Yu Xiaogang!"]
[Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang stood up. At the same time, on the other side, a man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, black hair and black eyes, wearing green clothing, stood up.]
[He wasn't particularly muscular, but he exuded a sense of composure.]
[Hearing the names Zhao Xunxing called, everyone showed an expression of looking forward to a good show.]
["Hehe, it's actually Qin Haoyue. It seems Teacher Zhao doesn't like this transfer student either."]
["Isn't that obvious? Everyone knows Teacher Zhao hates those aristocrats the most."]
["Tsk tsk, with Qin Haoyue's strength, that guy is in for it."]
["That's how it should be, otherwise people would think any trash can enter our Elite Class."]
["Come, come, place your bets. Guess how long that kid can last against Qin Haoyue."]
["Given Qin Haoyue's merciless fighting style, I bet three minutes."]
["I bet one minute."]
["I think the winner might be decided in just a few moves. He's only a Level 20-something Spirit Grandmaster. Lasting three minutes? You're overestimating him too much."]
["..."]
[Zhao Xunxing heard the students' discussions but didn't pay them any mind.]
[Just as they thought, he did indeed intend to make Yu Xiaogang back down, which was why he chose Qin Haoyue to fight him.]
[Coming to the center of the field, Yu Xiaogang stood still. Soon, Qin Haoyue stood ten meters away from him.]
["Qin Haoyue, Level 45 Battle Spirit Ancestor, Spirit: Jade Wind Sword."]
[Qin Haoyue introduced himself first, and with a lift of his hand, a jade-green longsword appeared in his grasp.]
["Yu Xiaogang, Level 24 Battle Spirit Master, Spirit: Little Dragon."]
[Yu Xiaogang also introduced himself. Meanwhile, with a flash of light and a dragon's roar, Little Dragon appeared by Yu Xiaogang's side.]
[Upon appearing, Little Dragon stared intensely at Qin Haoyue, looking full of Battle Intent.]
["Is this the so-called Separate Beast Spirit?"]
[Zhao Xunxing, watching from the side, raised an eyebrow as he looked at Little Dragon.]
[The most widely circulated information about Yu Xiaogang was, firstly, his first spirit ring of thousand years, and secondly, his unique Beast Spirit.]
[It was also his first time seeing such a peculiar Spirit.]
[If even someone like Zhao Xunxing, who knew about it, reacted this way, let alone those who knew nothing about Yu Xiaogang.]
["Is that... a Spirit Beast?"]
[The spectators looked at each other, unable to quite understand the situation before them.]
[Although Bibi Dong understood, she had no intention of explaining it to everyone right now. She just wanted to see how Yu Xiaogang and Little Dragon fought.]
["Your Spirit?"]
[Looking at Little Dragon, who was staring at him with intense Battle Intent, Qin Haoyue was somewhat at a loss.]
[Because the scene before him was beyond his understanding.]
["Just fight normally, don't worry about me."]
[Yu Xiaogang knew what Qin Haoyue was worried about—nothing more than whether attacking Little Dragon would cause any bad consequences.]
[But as for Little Dragon, Yu Xiaogang had already investigated thoroughly.]
[Little Dragon's body was composed purely of spirit power; no amount of damage posed a threat to it.]
[If it got injured, he only needed to dismiss the Spirit and summon Little Dragon again for it to appear in peak condition.]
[Of course, repairing the damage Little Dragon sustained required a large amount of spirit power.]
[Through testing, Yu Xiaogang found that physical damage required his own spirit power to replenish.]
[Mental damage, however, would cause damage to his own spirit.]
["Are you sure?"]
["Don't worry, I know my Spirit very well."]
[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's certain words, Qin Haoyue nodded, then circulated his spirit power. Four spirit rings rose: two yellow and two purple.]
[Yu Xiaogang also circulated his spirit power, and in the next second, two purple spirit rings appeared around him.]
["This..."]
["Impossible!"]
["What is that!"]
["Oh my God!"]
["..."]
[Exclamations echoed through the training grounds as everyone looked at the two purple spirit rings around Yu Xiaogang in disbelief.]
[Knowing that Yu Xiaogang's spirit power was at Level 24, he could only have two spirit rings at most.]
[That meant these two purple spirit rings were Yu Xiaogang's first spirit ring and second spirit ring.]
[But how was that possible?]
[A thousand-year spirit ring as the first spirit ring? Were they sure they weren't dreaming?]
["Teacher Zhao, his thousand-year spirit ring is fake, right?"]
[A confused student shouted directly at Zhao Xunxing, finding it hard to believe everything before his eyes.]
[Because if Yu Xiaogang really had a first spirit ring of thousand years, then what were they?]
[Even Qin Haoyue, standing opposite Yu Xiaogang, looked to Zhao Xunxing for help.]
["His first spirit ring of thousand years is real!"]
[However, Zhao Xunxing's words shattered their illusions.]
["As for how it was achieved..."]
[Everyone pricked up their ears, but what they heard were Zhao Xunxing's regrettable words.]
["This is a secret belonging to Yu Xiaogang's Sect; even His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff is unaware of it."]
[Hearing this, everyone looked disappointed.]
[After the initial shock, Qin Haoyue, standing opposite Yu Xiaogang, took a deep breath.]
["It seems we underestimated you before. I didn't expect you to be such a monster."]
["In the coming battle, I will not show mercy. If you can't handle it, remember to call for a stop."]
[Hearing this, the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth curled up, revealing a confident smile.]
["My attitude remains the same as before. I hope you don't just sound powerful but prove to be incapable of taking a hit in battle."]
[Hearing this, Qin Haoyue and the others in the Elite Class did not get as emotional as before.]
[Because the shock brought by Yu Xiaogang's two thousand-year spirit rings was simply too great.]
[This was something that even the currently known Titled Douluos of the Douluo Continent had not been able to achieve.]
[Yet, Yu Xiaogang had done it.]
[Under these circumstances, if they were to look down on Yu Xiaogang again, it would be because they were too arrogant.]
