"Lightning Summon!"
In an instant, white lightning surged toward Tang San, carrying a violent force.
Tang San narrowly dodged the oncoming lightning with his Weird Footwork.
"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"
Watching Tang San's steps, Su Ze sneered.
He raised both hands again.
The lightning in his hands was poised to strike.
He knew Tang San well. Once Tang San realized his Blue Silver Grass was useless,
he would use the Hidden Weapons concealed in his sleeves.
Meanwhile,
Tang San knew he couldn't keep fighting like this.
His First Soul Skill, Entanglement, was completely ineffective.
And somehow, this kid named Su Ze could even fly.
There was only one way left to turn things around.
The Tang Sect Hidden Weapons he'd been most proud of in his previous life.
With that in mind, Tang San's gaze hardened. He raised his arm and aimed at Su Ze in the air.
A mechanical whir sounded, and a Sleeve Arrow shot out of Tang San's sleeve at tremendous speed.
As he watched the Silent Sleeve Arrow he'd crafted speed toward Su Ze,
a smile crept back onto Tang San's lips.
As a Tang Sect Disciple, Hidden Weapons were his ultimate weapon.
At the Silent Sleeve Arrow's speed, a Soul Master caught unprepared would never be able to dodge.
Tang San could already picture Su Ze badly wounded and losing the duel.
"A Silent Sleeve Arrow?"
Su Ze watched the arrow coming toward him, his expression calm.
He already knew all about Tang San's Hidden Weapons and had prepared for them.
He hadn't released the lightning in his hands because he'd been waiting for this moment.
"The Path to Light is bound to be strewn with thorns."
As the solemn voice rang out again,
two bolts of lightning blasted from Su Ze's hands.
One bolt shattered the Silent Sleeve Arrow, streaked across the sky, and appeared right in front of Tang San.
Tang San's expression changed instantly as he watched his Silent Sleeve Arrow get struck down with ease.
Facing the lightning before him,
Tang San gritted his teeth and used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
But Su Ze had already anticipated his every move. As Tang San dodged,
the second bolt of lightning followed close behind.
The two bolts, one ahead and one behind, completely sealed off Tang San's movements.
"It's over, Tang San."
Su Ze had been charging up in the air. He stretched out his hands as violent Lightning Power gathered between them, forming a white lightning ball.
"Worried Worldly People, do you hear the warning bell tolling through the Raging Thunder?!"
With Su Ze's declaration, he thrust both hands down toward Tang San, whose escape routes were blocked!
"Boom!!!"
A massive White Lightning Pillar, radiating a destructive aura, fell from the sky like Heavenly Punishment and instantly swallowed Tang San as he tried to dodge!
The blinding light made everyone watching instinctively squeeze their eyes shut. Deafening Thunder Roar shook the entire arena.
A moment later, the lightning faded.
A charred shallow pit was all that remained.
Tang San lay in the pit, his clothes in tatters, his skin charred, and every strand of hair standing on end. Wisps of black smoke curled from his mouth. He had lost consciousness completely and looked utterly miserable.
Su Ze!
A complete victory!
Xiao Wu, who had been smiling just moments earlier, now stared blankly at Tang San lying on the ground, her face pale.
She was so shocked that she forgot to go help him.
At that moment, the duration of Su Ze's thunderous ultimate move also came to an end.
After landing beside Tang San, Su Ze unfastened Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night from his belt.
Spatial Soul Tools were rare on the Douluo Continent.
And they were worth a fortune.
He could either sell it or use it himself.
Tang San really was a gift-bearing fool.
With that thought, Su Ze took the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon and walked off the Dueling Arena.
The moment he stepped down,
the crowd parted just as they had when he'd first walked onto the arena, leaving a wide, narrow passage.
Not a sound of discussion could be heard around him.
Everyone looked at him with awe and astonishment.
On the Douluo Continent, strength reigned supreme.
There was no doubt that Su Ze was strong, judging by the power he'd just displayed.
Su Ze gave a faint smile, then walked away at an unhurried pace and vanished from view.
After Su Ze was gone,
the quiet crowd erupted into a lively commotion.
"Oh my god, so this is what a Lightning Attribute Soul Master is like? That Su Ze is so strong!"
"Yeah! Just now, he felt like the legendary Thunder God!"
"And the things he said were so cool! 'Shatter the Darkness with Thunder,' and 'The Path to Light is bound to be strewn with thorns.'"
"I'm going to learn those lines for my fights, too!"
After Su Ze's performance in the Dueling Arena, the Lightning Attribute Soul Masters at Nuoding Junior Academy began reciting lines like "Shatter the Darkness with Thunder" during their battles.
Other Soul Masters came up with their own lines and started saying them during fights, too.
It could be said that Su Ze had started a battle craze at Nuoding Academy.
Later that evening,
in Director Liu's office,
"Expel him! This student named Su Ze has to be expelled!"
"Was that a fight? He was practically trying to murder a fellow student!"
"Director Liu, this Su Ze beat Tang San so badly!"
"A student with such a bloodthirsty nature will surely bring disaster to Nuoding Academy in the future if we don't expel him!"
Director Liu listened to Yu Xiaogang's furious shouting, his expression growing impatient.
Before Yu Xiaogang arrived, the teachers who had witnessed Su Ze and Tang San's Soul Duel had already reported what happened.
From what he'd learned, Tang San had been the one to provoke Su Ze.
And if they were talking about fighting dirty, Tang San was a Soul Master who had fired arrows from his sleeve during the fight.
If this had been a battle to the death,
Director Liu would have had nothing to say.
But this had been a Soul Duel between students, and Tang San had still used Hidden Weapons to launch a sneak attack.
And the worst part was that he'd still lost.
Not only was he useless, he'd disgraced himself.
"How can you compare the two? My disciple Tang San only fought back because he had no choice."
"But Su Ze clearly did it on purpose. Expel him! He has to be expelled!"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang still trying to argue, Director Liu impatiently waved a hand.
"Master, I've already reported this to the dean."
"The dean says that since it was a Soul Duel, each person is responsible for what happens between life and death."
"If you're unhappy with the result, go talk to the dean yourself."
"As for getting Su Ze expelled, you'd better give up on that idea, Master."
"To put it bluntly, you've been here doing nothing and still haven't been expelled. A genius like Su Ze certainly won't be."
After saying this, Director Liu stood and gestured for him to leave.
"You..."
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed drastically at those words. His chest heaved, and he felt deeply humiliated.
He wanted to attack, but the difference in their strength made him calm down.
He didn't even dare to make a threat. He slunk out of Director Liu's office.
Back in his study, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened.
Damn Director Liu.
And that Su Ze, too.
He was nothing but a lucky, desperate commoner.
How dare he act so arrogantly in front of the son of the Lightning Tyrant Dragon Patriarch?
Damn it!
Just as Yu Xiaogang seethed with anger, a somewhat disheveled figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
