Instant Kill Boss Xiao, Challenge Tang San

"Ruyi Jingu Bang, weighing thirteen thousand five hundred jin."

Tang San below the stage activated his Purple Demon Eyes, saw the words on the staff, and murmured to himself.

Ruyi Jingu Bang?

Wasn't his martial soul just an ordinary iron rod?

How did it become the Ruyi Jingu Bang?

The students standing beside Tang San, upon hearing him mutter "Ruyi Jingu Bang," began to buzz with discussion.

In moments, word spread across the entire academy.

At this point, everyone harbored the same doubt in their hearts.

That was why Sun Sheng's martial soul had changed, as if it had evolved.

If an explanation had to be given, only a Mutated Martial Soul could account for it.

A Mutated Martial Soul comes from a soul master's martial soul mutating, with an extremely low probability.

Some mutations make it stronger, some make it much weaker.

But generally, this mutation originates from birth.

That is to say, it occurs after the soul master is born but before the martial soul awakens.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything—a martial soul can also undergo an Acquired Mutation under certain special circumstances.

However, the probability of an Acquired Mutation is even lower, purely a matter of luck.

Moreover, each person's martial soul differs, and the factors causing mutation are unstable.

This makes Acquired Mutation martial souls even rarer.

Clearly, the change in Sun Sheng's martial soul should be due to an Acquired Mutation.

And this mutation has made him even stronger.

Perhaps that's why his Soul Power has skyrocketed and his combat strength has surged in just a few days.

Otherwise, everyone present couldn't think of any other reason for Sun Sheng's transformation.

"Mutated Martial Soul? No wonder you've become so arrogant!"

"But so what? In the face of absolute power, all mutations are like paper—flimsy and easily crushed."

The change in Sun Sheng's martial soul made Boss Xiao on the stage grow more cautious.

He had never encountered such a powerful Mutated Martial Soul before and dared not underestimate it.

He had even begun to feel the urge to retreat, regretting his impulsiveness in stepping up to challenge.

But the arrow had been nocked and had to be loosed.

Since he was already on stage, he couldn't just slink off in defeat.

Otherwise, how could he hold his head up in front of all these junior students?

Even if he knew he would lose, he had to fight on.

"Sun Sheng, go to hell!"

Finally, Boss Xiao seemed to find an opening, his leg muscles bulging as he suddenly struck.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Sun Sheng, seeing him finally make a move, narrowed his eyes slightly, swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and smashed it head-on.

The deep White Spirit Ring lit up three times in succession, simultaneously releasing the three soul skills: Hundredfold Amplification, Seal, and Crush.

Among them, the Hundredfold Amplification soul skill boosted his combat power, the Seal soul skill locked down the ambushing Boss Xiao, and the Crush soul skill suppressed him entirely.

The three soul skills flowed seamlessly, leaving Boss Xiao no way to retreat.

"What's going on? Why can't I move?"

"S-such overwhelming force!"

"W-what kind of technique is this?"

"Why is it so strong!"

Boss Xiao suddenly found himself unable to move, as if locked in place by a powerful force. No matter how he struggled or tried to dodge, it was useless.

He could only brace himself and charge forward.

Not only that, but he also felt an invisible pressure that filled him with fear, making him dare not engage.

This dual lock and pressure began to throw him into utter panic.

Boom!

Sun Sheng, wielding the Ruyi Jingu Bang, brought it down in one strike, sending Boss Xiao flying and slamming him hard off the stage.

The immense force of the staff shattered the bones in both his arms.

No, it crushed them to pieces.

From then on, his hands were completely crippled.

This...

The crowd below instinctively stepped back a few paces at the sight of that terrifying staff.

Sun Sheng's strength and ruthlessness had thoroughly shaken them.

At this moment, every student who had mocked or doubted Sun Sheng was filled with terror, afraid he would come after them.

Some had even collapsed to the ground, sitting limp, eyes vacant, utterly despairing.

A few of the more timid ones had already wet themselves in fear.

Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. Reward: twenty-six Leveling Value, twenty-six Exchange Value, one Soul Orb.

A Soul Orb can be consumed directly to increase Soul Power by one to nine levels.

The system's reward arrived swiftly, credited in an instant.

Now, Sun Sheng's system interface displayed forty-eight Leveling Value and forty-eight Exchange Value, along with a sphere condensed from pure Soul Power.

This sphere must be the so-called Soul Orb.

"Anyone else?"

Sun Sheng stored the Soul Orb in the system's storage space, then curled his lips into a sinister smirk.

Facing the crowd, he shouted loudly, exuding dominance.

Both Tang San and Xiao Wu, as well as the Mentors present, were jolted by the force of his "Anyone else."

Because that "Anyone else" carried not only the effort, hardship, and humiliation of the past six years but also his unyielding refusal to bow to fate.

It also declared to everyone that he would rise from now on, vowing to become a peerless Douluo powerhouse.

To achieve such a stunning effect with just those three words...

Perhaps only he, Sun Sheng, could pull it off.

"What a Sun Sheng, way too arrogant. Watch me go up there and teach him a lesson."

Xiao Wu glared at Sun Sheng's domineering, smug demeanor, thoroughly annoyed.

After all, Liu Long and Boss Xiao had called her Big Sister before. He'd gone too far, crippling them outright.

Wasn't that a slap in the face to her as their Big Sister?

"Xiao Wu, let me handle it. You might not be a match for him."

Tang San didn't particularly like Liu Long or Boss Xiao, but Sun Sheng had been too ruthless, too merciless. It was time to stop him.

"Alright, Third Brother. Be careful."

Xiao Wu nodded, a hint of worry in her voice.

"Mm."

Tang San nodded and leaped onto the arena.

Boom!

The moment everyone present saw Tang San step up, an uproar erupted.

He was the most outstanding student in the history of Notting City Junior Academy—only twelve years old and already a twenty-ninth-level Soul Grand Master.

Both of his soul rings were century-level, his talent astonishing, and his skills formidable.

With him stepping in, dealing with Sun Sheng would be no problem at all.

Sun Sheng's eyes gleamed with sharp light as he watched Tang San take the stage.

Finally, he had the chance to fight Tang San.

"Tang San, you're finally up!"

Sun Sheng smirked, a sinister grin spreading across his face.

Today, he would defeat Tang San right in front of Xiao Wu.

Only by shattering Tang San's "invincible" image in Xiao Wu's heart could he win her affection.

As a Douluo fan, who didn't like Xiao Wu?

Her kindness, gentleness, devotion, and occasional playfulness had moved countless people, making her the dream goddess of many.

Sun Sheng was no exception.

"Sun Sheng, you went too far."

Tang San frowned, his tone righteous.

"Too far?"

"Did you see how they humiliated me before?"

"I spared their lives—that's already showing mercy."
