Soul Master's Shame

Bai Baoshan did not want to make things too tense, so he forced a faint smile and said:

"Mr. Dong, you may not know Shi Mo very well. He is also a genius student of our academy, and his Black Tortoise Martial Soul possesses astonishing defensive power."

Then he added:

"In this selection competition, Yu Tianheng and the Shi Mo brothers will definitely secure places. Your disciple has practically no chance of winning."

Dong Bo curled his lips disdainfully.

Against the Young Master, defense-type Soul Masters suffered the most, not to mention those with tortoise-type Martial Souls.

Besides, a mere Soul Elder—what good would any type of Martial Soul do?

Seeing that Dong Bo did not even respond to him, Bai Baoshan became somewhat angry.

He folded his arms and watched the match.

He secretly decided that once Shi Mo won, he would definitely mock this Mr. Dong properly and teach him a lesson for being so arrogant.

On the Soul Fighting Arena, Shi Mo had already activated Martial Soul Possession. Three soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple—appeared beneath his feet.

After Martial Soul Possession, Shi Mo's body became even more burly, and a phantom image of a green Black Tortoise appeared around him. However, he merely stood where he was and did not move.

Ye Xiaobao felt that Shi Mo seemed to have a pretty good temperament, so he did not want to hurt him.

He merely summoned the Golden Cudgel into his hand and kindly reminded him:

"Be careful. I'm about to make my move."

Shi Mo also prepared his defenses, holding his Turtle Armor Martial Soul in his hands.

Ye Xiaobao softly uttered:

"Grow."

The Golden Cudgel instantly shot toward Shi Mo, crazily extending in length.

The instant the Golden Cudgel struck the Turtle Armor—

"Smack!"

Shi Mo was knocked off the stage like a billiard ball, and the Golden Cudgel vanished immediately afterward.

The entire Soul Fighting Arena fell deathly silent.

Before long, an enormous uproar erupted.

"Damn it, that's cheating! That works?"

"I demand a rematch! What does that even prove?"

"Rematch!"

"Rematch!"...

Many students below the stage began shouting on their own.

The Heavenly Dou Rank students were especially numerous among them. After all, no one wanted to lose a match so inexplicably.

Shi Mo, who had been knocked off the stage, slowly got to his feet with a bewildered expression.

He had not even reacted to what had just happened.

Qin Ming walked onto the stage at that moment. He swept his gaze around and sternly said:

"Silence!"

Enhanced by Soul Power, his booming voice sounded as though it were right beside their ears.

The Soul Fighting Arena instantly quieted down.

Qin Ming explained further:

"The rules of the match have already been set. Ye Xiaobao's victory fully complies with them. This match goes to Ye Xiaobao!"

With that, he walked off the stage.

Though the students below were still dissatisfied, they did not want to challenge Qin Ming's authority.

After all, Qin Ming was known throughout Heaven Dou Royal Academy for his strictness.

After shrugging, Ye Xiaobao also walked off the stage.

When Dugu Yan saw Ye Xiaobao sit beside her again, she quietly asked in a low voice:

"How did you do that just now? That move is invincible. I feel like even I wouldn't be able to dodge it."

Hearing this, Ye Xiaobao simply explained:

"My Golden Cudgel Martial Soul can lengthen and shorten at will. Knock someone off the stage, and I win. It's that simple."

Dugu Yan always felt that something was not quite right~

But she accepted the explanation anyway and said excitedly:

"So does that mean even Yu Tianheng might not be able to beat you?"

Ye Xiaobao waved his hand. He felt that the word "might" could be removed entirely...

However, the three people at the judges' table felt differently.

Especially Dong Bo and Bai Baoshan. Both were Soul Douluo, and their vision and experience naturally surpassed those of the students present.

Bai Baoshan's expression turned solemn as he seriously said:

"Sending Shi Mo out of the arena with a single strike—how much speed and strength would that require? And his Soul Power must have reached an overwhelming level as well. Mr. Dong, this is...?"

Dong Bo, on the other hand, looked utterly calm.

"What's so impressive about that? His opponent was simply too weak. I think Xiaobao is still lacking a little and needs to keep working hard."

Then he looked at Bai Baoshan and asked:

"With Shi Mo being this weak, he can still represent Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the Soul Master Tournament? I think our academy will have a hard time achieving a good ranking."

Bai Baoshan was so angered by Dong Bo that his round face trembled slightly.

How infuriating. Wasn't he using Bai Baoshan's own words to slap him in the face?

With his temper, he should have flung his sleeves and left long ago.

But he was a judge now. Doing that would only make him lose even more face.

So he simply turned around and ignored Dong Bo.

Seeing Bai Baoshan's angry appearance, Dong Bo felt rather pleased inside.

You dead fatso. You dare question the Young Master's strength? Who do you think you are?

Over the next few days, Ye Xiaobao fought seven matches in succession. Without exception, he knocked every opponent off the stage with a single blow of his cudgel.

Because of this, his classmates affectionately gave him the title of the shame of the Soul Master world. The ones who had been knocked around like billiard balls promoted the name most enthusiastically.

Dugu Yan often stood up for Ye Xiaobao because of it.

Finally, on the last day of the one-on-one matches, Ye Xiaobao was matched against Yu Tianheng.

After the two stepped onto the stage—

"Yu Tianheng, go! Defeat this shame of the Soul Master world~"

"Go, Boss Yu!"

Hearing that nearly the entire Soul Fighting Arena was cheering for Yu Tianheng, Ye Xiaobao did not care in the slightest. To him, these people were nothing more than corpses waiting to be marked...

After the two introduced themselves out of courtesy, Yu Tianheng's expression turned grave.

He was the first to activate Martial Soul Possession and release his soul rings.

Yellow, yellow, purple soul rings appeared beneath his feet, while a blue dragon crackling with lightning possessed Yu Tianheng's body.

"I won't be as easy to deal with as your previous opponents. See the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul for yourself!"

Hearing Yu Tianheng's bold declaration, Ye Xiaobao disdainfully picked at his ear and said:

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon? Never heard of it."

Yu Tianheng's expression darkened at those words, and a flash of blue lightning flickered through his eyes.

"Fine! I hope your mouth is still this tough later."

Yu Tianheng had always taken pride in being born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Hearing Ye Xiaobao's mockery, he was truly enraged.

Although Ye Xiaobao had maintained a perfect winning record these past few days, Yu Tianheng had already thought of a way to deal with that cudgel strike.

That was to move quickly. As long as he moved at high speed the instant his opponent activated his Martial Soul, he would definitely be able to evade that strike.

Ye Xiaobao also wanted to teach Yu Tianheng a lesson first.

After all, he was from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was the sect of those who had murdered his parents.

He had investigated the matter thoroughly and confirmed that there was no doubt—the ones who had acted were indeed core members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

The moment the Golden Cudgel appeared in Ye Xiaobao's hand, Yu Tianheng began rapidly moving toward him.

Ye Xiaobao narrowed his eyes and coldly said:

"You're quite clever. But yes, moving this quickly does make you hard to hit."

As he spoke, a miniature Golden Cudgel appeared in his hand and spun continuously. He had learned this move from Demon Subduing Douluo.

As Yu Tianheng drew closer and closer to Ye Xiaobao, he gathered all his Soul Power and prepared to attack.

"Kid, watch carefully. This is my strongest soul skill at present!"
