"Did I really just lose like that?"

At this moment, Xie Xie finally accepted the reality of his defeat in a daze, watching as Wei Xiaofeng withdrew his arms from around him, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Xie Xie is still too reliant on mechanics."

Lu Li watched this scene and shook his head helplessly; Xie Xie's martial soul before its evolution was truly as common as weeds on the side of the road.

"Wei Xiaofeng wins, Xie Xie loses."

Wu Changkong stated coldly and emotionlessly.

He exchanged a glance with Lu Li beside him; neither of them found Xie Xie's defeat particularly surprising, as the gap between a Soul Master and a Soul Grand Master was still quite significant.

For high-quality martial souls, perhaps fighting across ranks wouldn't be too much of a disadvantage, but Xie Xie's martial soul was merely the Light Dragon Dagger, not to mention that his only soul skill currently was the lackluster "Light Dragon Blade."

To put it bluntly, it was just a buffed-up dagger; it lacked strong offensive capabilities, and the boost to speed was almost negligible.

Let alone comparing it to Wei Xiaofeng's Green Shadow Strike, it had massive flaws among all agility-type soul masters. It was fine at the same level, but once he encountered a soul master one rank higher, the Light Dragon Dagger martial soul plus the Light Dragon Blade soul skill...

It was truly a sight that would make even a dog shake its head.

"Your martial soul has too many disadvantages. It's just a dagger. As an agility-type soul master, you have an advantage as long as your speed is fast enough, but I'm sorry, I am a Soul Grand Master."

"I look forward to another battle with you once you become a Soul Grand Master."

Wei Xiaofeng's figure gradually merged back together as he stepped forward to pat the other's shoulder, shaking his head as he spoke.

After saying this, he gave a lopsided smirk and walked back to the side of Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi.

Xie Xie silently kept today's defeat in his heart. He said nothing, instead clenching his fists and retreating back into the crowd.

"Next, Tang Wulin versus Xing Sangou."

Wu Changkong looked toward Tang Wulin's direction and said slowly.

"Yes, Teacher Wu."

Tang Wulin immediately walked out, and walking out alongside him was a short, sturdy-looking boy with short hair and a faint smile on his face.

"Martial soul Dark Battle Axe, level 17 Soul Master."

In Xing Sangou's hand, a battle axe shimmering with dark black light appeared out of thin air; it was his power-attack type tool martial soul, the Dark Battle Axe.

"Martial soul Blue Silver Grass, level 14 Soul Master."

Tang Wulin smiled slightly. In his hand, the Blue Silver Grass, carrying a hint of golden light, was instantly released, actually blooming with ripples of life force.

"Even though your martial soul is just Blue Silver Grass, I won't hold back."

"First soul skill, Shadow Power!"

Xing Sangou gave a lopsided smirk and instantly released his first soul skill. The Dark Battle Axe in his hand gained a bit more momentum at this moment as he charged toward Tang Wulin.

In most cases, soul skills that enhance martial soul effects are the most cost-effective, though of course, Xie Xie's Light Dragon Blade was not one of them.

"First soul skill, Blue Silver Has Spirit."

"Blue Silver Entanglement."

Watching the scene before him, Tang Wulin moved. The yellow soul ring at his feet lit up, and the Blue Silver Grass in his hand erupted with a brilliant glow.

"Huh?"

"I'm afraid of Blue Silver Entanglement?"

"Holy crap!"

Xing Sangou chuckled, standing still for a moment to wait for the Blue Silver Grass to descend. Could it be that he was actually afraid of Blue Silver Entanglement?

But the next moment, when the vines transformed from the Blue Silver Grass shot toward him, his bean-sized eyes suddenly widened in shock.

Almost instantly, the vines, which were nearly as thick as a thigh, bound his entire body in place.

"This thing..."

"Is this Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass?"

Xing Sangou cursed subconsciously. As he spoke, he instantly swung the Dark Battle Axe in his hand, hacking desperately at the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around his legs.

And it wasn't just him; everyone present had a look of shock in their eyes. Zhang Yangzi and the others looked on with surprise—this was truly nothing like the thin, twig-like Blue Silver Grass they had imagined!

Was this thing still grass? Anyone who didn't know better would probably think this was some kind of vine-type martial soul.

"First soul skill, Blue Silver Has Spirit!"

"Hundred Blue Silver Hammers."

Following that, Tang Wulin moved again.

Under his control, the Blue Silver vines in his hand transformed in an instant into a hammer made entirely of blue, life-infused Blue Silver Grass.

"You..."

"You have another soul skill?"

Xing Sangou's face was filled with bewilderment.

But before he could get a response, the Blue Silver Hammer came crashing down in an instant. He subconsciously used his martial soul to block, but somehow, the opponent knocked his Dark Battle Axe flying with a single strike.

His tool soul, which could be considered top-tier even among assault-type martial souls, was actually inferior to the manifestation of a mere blade of grass!?

"I..."

"My martial soul is gone?"

Xing Sangou stared blankly at his empty hands, then looked toward the Dark Battle Axe lying on the ground not far away, feeling as if a hundred thousand grass mud horses were galloping through his heart.

"I concede."

The Blue Silver Hammer in Tang Wulin's hand transformed back into Blue Silver Grass, and he offered a shy smile to the person before him as he spoke.

"Tang Wulin wins!"

Watching this scene, Wu Changkong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, glancing at Lu Li beside him as if asking if this was his doing.

"The little guy just has sufficient spiritual power and good comprehension."

Lu Li smiled at Wu Changkong, then turned his gaze toward Tang Wulin, who had just finished the battle, and said with a smile.

"I don't understand..."

"Why do you have two first soul skills?"

Xing Sangou's face was filled with resentment; he was the owner of a top-tier tool soul, so how could he possibly lose to Blue Silver Grass?

Being defeated by Blue Silver Grass was a humiliation!

But at this moment, the humiliation was not as important as the fact that he desperately wanted to know why the person in front of him could unleash two different soul skills.

"I don't have two soul skills."

"These are just two combat styles I've developed under the capabilities of my first soul skill, nothing more."

Tang Wulin shook his head and answered truthfully.

"My first soul skill is derived from a century-old Azure Vine soul spirit, and it is called Blue Silver Has Spirit."

As he spoke, his gaze turned toward Lu Li not far away, his eyes filled with irrepressible gratitude.

His first soul spirit came from an Azure Vine, which was given to him by Lu Li back then. It was a high-grade century-old soul spirit that the Spirit Pagoda did not easily sell to outsiders—in other words, it cost extra.

But at the same time, it was one of the most suitable soul spirits for plant-type soul masters. The first soul skill allowed his Blue Silver Grass to enlarge at will, increasing its toughness by one hundred percent.

Beyond that, not only did it add a touch of life attribute, but because his Blue Silver Grass was originally too weak, it was a blessing in disguise, granting it the offensive and defensive capabilities of a vine.

Blue Silver Entanglement was easy to understand; it was a binding soul skill. Through his clever application, it could not only be launched from his hands but could also emerge from the ground to form a cage.

The control should be no worse than ordinary entanglement.

"Isn't it Blue Silver Entanglement?"

"Isn't that the standard configuration for Blue Silver Grass soul masters?"

Xing Sangou asked, puzzled.

It was precisely because of this Blue Silver Entanglement soul skill that almost everyone found it impossible to defeat Blue Silver Grass soul masters before they reached two rings.

"I used to think so too, but as my brother said, he shouldn't waste a slot on entanglement."

"As long as one has a bit of talent, it can be developed."

Tang Wulin chuckled and shook his head.

"Just like the Blue Silver Grass entanglement I just used, when performed on the foundation of the soul ring skill's vine-like transformation, isn't it more powerful than a normal person's Blue Silver Entanglement?"

"As for Blue Silver As Hammer, that's even easier to understand. I can also turn it into a sword or a shield. As long as you use some spiritual power to control it, it's very easy to train; it should be quite simple, right?"

Tang Wulin blinked and said with a smile.

"Simple..."

"Is it?"

Xing Sangou scratched his head, looking at him as if he were a monster. Turning Blue Silver Grass into a hammer without wasting a soul ring skill—if this wasn't talent, what was?

"I'm convinced, Tang Wulin."

"You entering Class One is absolutely no problem at all."

He looked at the other boy earnestly and sighed with emotion.

"..."

This statement undoubtedly voiced the inner thoughts of everyone present. Was there a problem with Tang Wulin entering Class One?

Yes, if you only looked at his Blue Silver Grass martial soul and his level 14 soul power, then there certainly was.

But now, he had used his actual combat strength to tell everyone that he could easily defeat a level 17 soul master.

Tang Wulin...

He deserved the title!
