Teacher Qin Ming, are you tickling me? (Seeking follow-up)

Tang Yu's impression of Qin Ming was mediocre; he neither liked nor disliked him.

He turned to look at Qin Ming and said, "Teacher Qin, I remember you once said that a Soul Master who doesn't dare to cause trouble isn't a good Soul Master. I'm just teaching these newcomers how to follow the rules. It's quite reasonable for me to stir up a little trouble, isn't it?"

Qin Ming had already heard a thing or two from Flender and Zhao Wuji.

Back when Tang Yu was at Shrek Academy, he had bullied his juniors in every way possible and had even crippled the brothers of Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang was, after all, the good brother of the Dean, Flender.

It was a harsh reality: when Tang Yu was at Shrek Academy, he was a treasure, but once he left, he was completely loathed by the entire Shrek group.

As a senior who had graduated from Shrek Academy, Qin Ming naturally felt the need to protect his juniors and stand up for them.

Coupled with the fact that Tang Yu had only just returned for the intensive training after such a long time, Qin Ming was already deeply annoyed. With a look of fury, he said, "Fine! Since you are so good at causing trouble, let's see you try causing some for me!"

Tang Yu laughed, his voice cold. "So, Teacher Qin, you're planning to teach me a lesson on behalf of your schoolmates?"

"A lesson? As your team leader, I have an obligation to understand the strength of every one of you. Tang Yu, you didn't stay at the academy for proper training, and you've been gone for over half a year."

"I'd like to see just how much your strength has improved in these past six months!" Qin Ming's morale surged; it looked as though he was determined to suppress Tang Yu today to help his own people.

"Heh, I didn't care before, but now I don't think you, Qin Ming, are fit to be my team leader." Tang Yu glared at Qin Ming and said arrogantly, "However, since you want to spar with me! Fine!"

"If you lose to me, get lost and voluntarily step down from your position as team leader!"

"What! This Tang Yu actually thinks he can beat Teacher Qin? Is he joking!"

"Teacher Qin is a genius who reached the Soul Emperor realm at the age of 30! He is said to be the second-youngest Soul Emperor in the continent's records. Even though Tang Yu is the strongest in our academy, he's being way too conceited!"

Yu Tianheng sneered, "Heh, arrogant!"

"Great! With the senior taking action, he will definitely be able to teach this Tang Yu a lesson!" Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and the others were excited.

"As a dignified level 62 Soul Emperor, I can't suppress a mere Soul Ancestor student? Hmph." Qin Ming smiled with disdain in his heart, his expression sharp and confident. "Defeat me? You aren't capable of that yet."

"I am at least twenty years older than you. As long as you can last ten moves against me, I, Qin Ming, will resign from the team leader position!"

"But if you can't last ten moves, you will listen to my orders obediently during all future training!"

"Ten moves? Heh." Tang Yu laughed. With his current strength, going all out would be enough to defeat Qin Ming.

Ten moves?

But that was fine; Tang Yu didn't want to reveal too much of his strength just yet.

"Since that's the case, let's stop the nonsense. Make your move."

Seeing Tang Yu so confident, Qin Ming felt nothing but disdain. "Although this kid is a rare genius, I, Qin Ming, am no pushover!"

"If I can't take down a Soul Ancestor like you within ten moves, then I've wasted all these years!"

"Kid! Don't blame me for not warning you! I, Qin Ming, am a level 62 Soul Emperor!"

"Martial Soul Avatar!"

"Blazing Wolf!"

"Awoo!"

A wolf wreathed in flames manifested behind Qin Ming.

"Level 62? How impressive!" Tang Yu mocked. The Clear Sky Hammer appeared, and two yellow, one purple, and one black soul rings rose from beneath his feet.

Over half a year had passed, and he was already a level 45 Soul Ancestor.

Seeing Tang Yu's ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring, all the team members were stunned.

"How is that possible! A ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring! No way!!"

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others were also dumbfounded: "What is going on! Third Brother, didn't your teacher Master Yu say in his Ten Core Competencies that the limit for a fourth soul ring is five thousand years!"

"This...! How does Tang Yu have a ten-thousand-year soul ring!"

"Yeah! That can't be right!"

Ma Hongjun looked horrified.

Tang Yu shook his head, speechless: "I'm telling you, you bunch of idiots, do you really think a level 29 piece of trash could accurately deduce the absorption limits of soul rings for every realm through his own practice and research?"

"Publishing such a theory requires precise statistics from a massive amount of data. Do you really think a level 29 soul master like Yu Xiaogang could collect data on all the top experts and powerful martial souls on the continent?"

"If he had just given a rough estimate, that would be one thing, but what's laughable is that this idiot actually set precise limits like 423 years for the first ring and 764 years for the second. Isn't that just stupid?"

"If you just use your brains, you'll understand that as long as the martial soul is strong enough, the soul ring is compatible enough, and the physique is strong enough, there is no such thing as a limit to soul ring absorption!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Clear Sky Power!"

Bang!

Tang Yu's Clear Sky Hammer doubled in power, and he looked down at Qin Ming: "Teacher Qin, make your move."

"So what if you have a ten-thousand-year fourth ring? You're still just a Soul Ancestor!" Qin Ming remained disdainful. He threw a punch, sending a fireball flying toward him.

However, when the fireball slammed into Tang Yu, it didn't cause the slightest bit of damage.

He possessed immunity to both ice and fire.

Tang Yu had absolute restraint over Qin Ming's power.

"Teacher Qin Ming, are you scratching an itch for me? Just a reminder, that's one move down."

Qin Ming's mouth twitched. He clenched his fists and charged straight forward. "Let me experience the power of your Clear Sky Hammer!"

"You're courting death." Seeing Qin Ming attempt a direct confrontation, Tang Yu shook his head.

Yet, Qin Ming wore a look of confidence. So what if your Clear Sky Hammer has fierce power?

Can it be fiercer than a Soul Emperor?

"Tang Yu, eat my fist!"

"Why do you people always love saying 'eat this, eat that' when you fight! Eat your mother!" Tang Yu swung his hammer with overbearing force. "Get lost!!"

Bang! Boom!

"Uwaaaah!"

Qin Ming was sent flying on the spot. His face was filled with horror. "How is this possible! Even if I couldn't suppress his strength, the gap shouldn't be this large!"

"I am a Soul Emperor!"

Because he had underestimated his opponent, Qin Ming instantly found himself at a disadvantage.

Tang Yu would not let this excellent opportunity and advantage slip away. Before Qin Ming could even recover from his shock, he leaped into the air and brought his hammer down from above.

Qin Ming hurriedly activated his second amplification skill and his Third Soul Skill to block.

Bang!

"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, Piercing Form!"

Bang, bang, bang!

Tang Yu unleashed a barrage of strikes against Qin Ming.

"Aaaah!"

Qin Ming was forced into a passive defense, taking several hammer blows in a row and screaming continuously.

By now, eight moves had passed.

"Fourth Soul Skill!" Qin Ming activated his soul skill once again, but it was neutralized by Tang Yu's Void Form.

He looked on in disbelief. "What is going on? What just happened?"

"Teacher Qin Ming, that's nine moves!"

"Damn it! This brat! Sixth Soul Skill, Brahma Flame!!"

Centered on his martial soul, ripples of flame accompanied by the howl of a wolf locked onto Tang Yu and surged toward him.

"Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Frenzy Hammer!"

With Fire Immunity, all of Qin Ming's attacks were significantly weakened. Combined with the amplification of the Clear Sky Power, the might of Tang Yu's second soul skill was terrifying.
