Wu Changkong: This Time I've Found a Treasure

"Brother Tao, you have to go easy on me later!"

Arriving at the combat arena, Tang Wulin looked at Zhao Tao in the distance. Though his words were humble, his eyes sparkled with intense fighting spirit.

He also wanted to know just how big the real gap was between himself and Zhao Tao!

"Very good, let me test your recent training results!"

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao smiled slightly, activated his Soul Power, and summoned his Spring Autumn Cicada Martial Soul.

"Begin!"

Looking at Zhao Tao and Tang Wulin, who were eager to fight, Wu Changkong waved his hand calmly and announced the start of the battle!

"Entangle!"

Hearing Wu Changkong's words, Tang Wulin immediately activated his soul skill without hesitation. The first white Soul Ring behind him flashed, and vines swept towards Zhao Tao!

Although Tang Wulin's reaction speed was not slow, Zhao Tao's movements were even faster!

"Time Burial Sword!"

Just as Tang Wulin's vines were summoned, Zhao Tao had already completed the release of his soul skill and summoned the Time Burial Sword!

At the same time, Zhao Tao's figure rapidly approached Tang Wulin. He wielded the Time Burial Sword in his hand, creating sword flowers and aiming straight for Tang Wulin's neck!

"Not good! How is he so fast!"

Looking at Zhao Tao's lightning-fast attack, Tang Wulin inwardly cried out that it was not good!

However.

At this moment, he no longer had time to change the release of his Entangle soul skill. He could only swing the Twin Silver Blacksmithing Hammers in his hand, attempting to block Zhao Tao's attack.

But the collision Tang Wulin had anticipated never happened.

Although Zhao Tao's Time Burial Sword seemed about to touch Tang Wulin's blacksmithing hammers, it was as if they were in two different parallel spaces.

With just a flicker, the blacksmithing hammers in Tang Wulin's hand missed completely, and his body staggered, nearly falling.

As for the Time Burial Sword in Zhao Tao's hand, it was precisely positioned at Tang Wulin's neck, not an inch more or less, without even scratching a single hair on Tang Wulin!

"Brother Tao, how, how did you do that?"

"My blacksmithing hammers clearly hit the long sword you summoned, so why did they miss in the end?"

Looking at the sword edge inches from his face, Tang Wulin could only surrender in resignation.

Immediately after, he looked at the Time Burial Sword in Zhao Tao's hand and asked, somewhat bewildered.

"It's the power of time!"

"Zhao Tao's Martial Soul and soul skills possess the ability to subtly alter the flow of time around them!"

"Although your attack seemed to hit, it was deflected by the influence of the power of time, so it missed!"

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Wu Changkong, who was standing by, his eyes lit up, and he explained with some excitement!

His gaze towards Zhao Tao was filled with even more surprise!

The power of time, this was the power of time, one of the most powerful laws!

All Martial Souls related to time were basically top-tier Martial Souls, not to mention that Zhao Tao's first soul skill was a Thousand-Year soul skill!

This meant that the first Soul Spirit Zhao Tao had fused with was a Thousand-Year Spirit Soul!

As everyone knows, a Soul Master only qualifies to fuse with a Thousand-Year Spirit Soul if their Spiritual Power reaches the Spirit Connection Realm!

This also indicated that Zhao Tao's Spiritual Power possessed talent far exceeding that of ordinary Soul Masters!

Thinking of this, Wu Changkong was secretly delighted!

It seemed he had struck gold this time!

"The power of time? Brother Tao, you're amazing!"

On the other side, hearing Wu Changkong's explanation, Tang Wulin nodded as if he suddenly understood.

His gaze towards Zhao Tao became even more admiring and reverent.

After all, the power of time, altering the flow of time, sounded incredibly impressive!

It was so much stronger than his Blue Silver Grass.

Not to mention that in the previous battle, Zhao Tao had defeated him almost effortlessly.

At this moment, the slight pride Tang Wulin had felt from his consecutive victories completely vanished.

He once again recognized the reality of the vast gap between himself and Zhao Tao.

"Wulin, your performance in getting second place was also very good. Keep up the good work!"

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao smiled slightly, patted Tang Wulin's shoulder, and encouraged him.

"Mhm, I will definitely work hard, Brother Tao!"

Receiving Zhao Tao's encouragement, Tang Wulin nodded vigorously, feeling greatly uplifted.

"Having watched your battle, I feel that your combat skills and physical fitness are too poor and urgently need improvement!"

"Therefore, starting tomorrow, every morning, you will take turns receiving physical training and combat skill training to improve your fundamental qualities in a targeted manner!"

"Of course, as Soul Masters, theoretical knowledge is also essential, and this will be arranged for every afternoon!"

"For now, you can go back and rest. In the afternoon, we will have a lesson on meditation theory. The rest of you can go, but Zhao Tao, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin, the three of you, come with me!"

Looking at the students of Class Five, Wu Changkong calmly introduced the future arrangements. He then led Zhao Tao and the other two to his office.

"Zhao Tao, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin, the three of you are the most outstanding students in Class Five. Therefore, you will represent Class Five in the upcoming promotion matches!"

"Although you are currently in Class Five, the last-place class, if you can defeat the classes ahead of you, you can exchange class prefixes and become Class Four, Class Three, or even the strongest Class One!"

"You can even challenge classes in higher grades. If you win, you will receive generous rewards!"

Looking at the three people in front of him, Wu Changkong explained the reason for calling them there.

"Don't worry, Teacher Wu, we will definitely be able to fight our way through the first year!"

"After all, if it weren't for someone causing trouble, someone and I would have been assigned to Class One originally!"

Hearing Wu Changkong's words, Xie Xie confidently chimed in, then glanced at Zhao Tao with some dissatisfaction.

"Oh, are you really that confident?"

"From what I understand, there are a full three Soul Grandmasters among the students in Class One this time!"

Hearing Xie Xie's words, Wu Changkong snorted dismissively and immediately said.

"W, what? Three Soul Grandmasters?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie was stunned, staring at Wu Changkong with a face full of surprise.

"That's right, three Great Spirit Masters!"

"This promotion match will take place in three months."

"The task I've assigned you is very simple: to change our Class Five's name to Class One!"

"To achieve this, I will conduct extra special training for you every night from now on!"

Leaning back in his chair, Wu Changkong nodded calmly and explained.

"What... what if we can't do it?"

Hearing Wu Changkong's words, Tang Wulin subconsciously asked.

"If you can't do it, hehe, then prepare to face my hellish punishment!"

Looking at Tang Wulin, Wu Changkong smiled, but looking at Wu Changkong's smile, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie felt their scalps tingle, and even the hairs on their bodies stood on end!

It was clear that they had to win this battle!
