Tang Ya and the Tang Sect's Ultimate Techniques!

"Group Three, begin," Xia Yu said expressionlessly.

Wang Qiao and Zhang Yiqing of Group Three stepped out of the crowd and faced each other. At Xia Yu's command, the battle began.

Time passed slowly. Some matches ended swiftly, while others dragged on in tense stalemates. The hour-long class soon approached its end.

"Group Twenty-Five, prepare," Xia Yu said without changing expression.

"My turn!" Tang Ya jolted, then said excitedly.

"Go, Xiaoya!" Jiang Nannan cheered her on.

"Don't worry, I'm the Tang Sect's sect master!" Tang Ya answered confidently, walking to the center of the field without looking back.

Tang Ya's opponent was a short boy who looked rather frail.

"Tang Ya, Level 19 Control System Soul Master."

"Yang Linmu, Level 18 Soul Master."

After introducing themselves, the battle was ready to erupt at any moment.

Tang Ya's Martial Soul was undoubtedly Blue Silver Grass. Ordinary little blue blades of grass appeared in her hand, prompting a wave of discussion among the students.

Yang Linmu's Martial Soul was a Beast Martial Soul, the Wind-Walking Rat, a speed-type Martial Soul. He had membranous wings beneath his arms and between his ribs that allowed him to glide and briefly fly at low altitude.

Tang Ya launched the first attack. Her first Soul Ring lit up, and the Blue Silver Grass in her hand instantly grew wildly, charging toward Yang Linmu.

Blue Silver Grass's First Soul Skill, Entanglement!

Yang Linmu did not simply sit back and wait either. His first Soul Ring lit up, his speed suddenly surged, and he circled around the incoming Blue Silver Grass to attack Tang Ya.

Tang Ya moved at an unhurried pace, her feet following strange steps. Her speed was actually no less than Yang Linmu's!

"So this is the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track?" Zhu Ziyang's expression remained unchanged, but a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was one of the Tang Sect's seven ultimate techniques. It was frequently mentioned in Tang Sect records, but no method of cultivation had been recorded, so Zhu Ziyang's Super Library did not have it either. Clearly, it was a secret technique passed down orally within the Tang Sect.

The Tang Sect's seven ultimate techniques were all secret arts passed down orally, which filled Zhu Ziyang with curiosity. After all, these were the legendary ultimate Soul Skills created by Sea God Tang San. Although Zhu Ziyang disdained Tang San's character, that did not prevent him from admiring him.

Because he understood all too well just how difficult it was to create a Self-Created Soul Skill.

According to Tang Sect records, the Tang Sect's seven ultimate techniques—Mysterious Heaven Skill, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Mysterious Jade Hand, Purple Demon Eye, Hundred Solutions of Hidden Weapons, and Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer—had all been created by Tang San.

Zhu Ziyang doubted that claim, because Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer was clearly the Clear Sky Sect's secret inherited technique. Since when had it become Tang San's creation?

However, not many people knew that, and no one cared about the Tang Sect's so-called seven ultimate techniques. It was a fallen minor sect. Even if it had once been glorious, that glory was long gone and not worth mentioning.

His gaze returned to the match.

When Yang Linmu realized that he could not catch Tang Ya, he was briefly stunned. Tang Ya instantly caught that opening and turned without hesitation to face him. The Blue Silver Grass swelled wildly once more, binding Yang Linmu tightly and leaving him unable to move.

"Group Twenty-Five, Tang Ya wins!" Xia Yu announced.

"Hehe, thanks for letting me win!" Tang Ya said with a giggle as she withdrew the Blue Silver Grass binding Yang Linmu.

"N-No!" Yang Linmu's face flushed crimson as he returned to the students. Perhaps he felt humiliated at losing to a little girl.

"That will be all for today. The remaining twenty-four groups will continue next class. Dismissed," Xia Yu announced before turning and leaving cleanly.

The students who had already competed left happily, while those who had yet to take the field felt somewhat uneasy.

"Nannan, Zhu Ziyang, let's go too." Tang Ya was in an excellent mood. She skipped over to Jiang Nannan, wrapped herself around her arm, and spoke.

"Aren't we waiting for Yu Beibei?" Zhu Ziyang asked curiously as he put his notebook recording the students' wins and losses into his Soul Guidance Ring.

"No need. Beibei and I agreed to meet at the cafeteria." Tang Ya looked pleased with herself.

"Then let's go," Zhu Ziyang said.

The three left the teaching building and headed for the cafeteria.

Not long after they had gotten their food, Yu Beibei arrived as well.

"Beibei, over here!" Tang Ya spotted Yu Beibei standing at the entrance at once and called out loudly, drawing the attention of all the students in the cafeteria.

"You're so fast!" Yu Beibei said in surprise as he walked over.

"Hehe, we got out early." Tang Ya handed Yu Beibei his lunchbox, her pretty face full of excitement. "Did you know? We had practical combat today! I beat my opponent very easily!"

"Yes, yes! Xiaoya is the best!" Yu Beibei said with a smile, affectionately patting Tang Ya's head as though coaxing a daughter.

"Of course I am!" Tang Ya was not modest in the slightest. Then, she leaned close to Yu Beibei's ear with a mysterious air. "By the way, Beibei, did you know?"

"Know what?" Yu Beibei looked completely confused.

"Isn't there a Soul Elder freshman in our year?" Tang Ya said.

"Oh, that? I know," Yu Beibei said with a laugh. "Not only do I know, I also know that person is in your Class Four, right?"

"Mhm, mhm!" Tang Ya was not discouraged, since that was not what she wanted to say. She continued, "Then do you know who that person is? Hehehe!"

"Who is it?" Yu Beibei was interested now. He looked at Tang Ya and waited for her answer.

"Hehehe! I'm not telling you!" Tang Ya suddenly gave a mischievous smile, made a face, and said.

"Alright, you're teasing me now!" Yu Beibei said in mock anger. He reached out and ruffled Tang Ya's beautiful hair to show his displeasure.

"Ah!" Tang Ya immediately covered her head and dodged, her face lively with laughter as she protested, "Don't touch my head!"

Although Tang Ya said she did not want him to, her pretty face was full of smiles. She was clearly enjoying Yu Beibei's head pats.

A moment later, she suddenly realized that she was eating, and that she was eating with Jiang Nannan and Zhu Ziyang. Wasn't it a little inappropriate to flaunt their affection like this? Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she pushed Yu Beibei's hand away and looked toward Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan, only to discover that neither of them was paying any attention to her.

Or rather, those two were flaunting their affection too. They were actually feeding each other!

Tang Ya was instantly force-fed a mouthful of lovey-dovey sweetness.

"Emmm..." Tang Ya grabbed Yu Beibei's hand again and said, "Beibei, let's continue!"

The two young couples finished dinner just like that. The people around them felt that they could not eat another bite—they were already far too full.

After fooling around for a while, Yu Beibei finally could not hold back any longer and asked, "Xiaoya, just tell me already. Who exactly is that Soul Elder freshman in your class?"

"You don't need me to tell you. Isn't he right here?" Tang Ya said, gesturing toward Zhu Ziyang with her lips.

Yu Beibei immediately looked shocked. Looking at Zhu Ziyang, he said, "Ziyang, you've really been hiding your strength!"

"Heh, not really," Zhu Ziyang said with a smile.

Yu Beibei was deeply shaken. He had thought that reaching Level 25 at only eleven years old was already impressive, yet he had encountered such a powerful opponent as soon as he came to Shrek!

Eleven years old, and already a Soul Elder! His talent was greater than that of every Soul Master Yu Beibei had ever known!

It looks like I need to work even harder! Yu Beibei silently resolved.

After dinner, the sky was still bright. Tang Ya suggested taking a stroll by Sea God Lake, and everyone agreed.
