Taking a Disciple

Must win?

It seemed he could only reveal some Hidden Weapons. Otherwise, he probably would not be able to touch Gu Yi at all.

Tang San thought to himself, feeling the pressure multiply.

His eyes locked tightly onto Gu Yi across from him. He had already entered a battle-ready state.

"Seven Treasures Out, There is Glazed Tile."

At the side, Ning Rongrong summoned her martial soul as well. She had only one thought now: support Tang San with everything she had and knock Gu Yi flat.

Not only would that vent her frustration, it would also make Gu Yi understand just how important she was. Killing two birds with one stone—simply perfect!

"Are you two ready? If you are, I'll make my move," Gu Yi asked calmly.

Facing Tang San and the other, he felt no pressure whatsoever. It was not that he did not know about Tang San's Hidden Weapons, but he could guarantee that Tang San would never touch him even once!

His Third Soul Skill was no mere decoration. Within a hundred meters, he could move freely and redirect attacks. He would never give Tang San even the slightest chance.

"We can begin," Tang San replied in a deep voice.

Then, his eyes turned purple, and his hands took on the Mystic Jade Hand technique.

"Then come at me. Otherwise, I'll strike first," Gu Yi said with a light chuckle.

He stood calmly where he was without making any move, seemingly waiting for Tang San and Ning Rongrong to act.

"Then I won't hold back. Twenty-Four Bridges, Moonlit Night!"

With Tang San's low shout, more than a dozen streaks of cold light burst from his hands at once. They targeted Gu Yi's limbs and flew at astonishing speed!

"Heh~"

When Gu Yi caught sight of this, a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

The next instant, his figure vanished from where he stood. In his place was Tang San. Gu Yi had used his Soul Skill twice in succession, shifting his own position while swapping Tang San over at the same time.

Didn't you like using Hidden Weapons? Then deal with them yourself first. I'll take care of Ning Rongrong while I'm at it!

It happened far too quickly. In the blink of an eye, by the time Tang San reacted, his Hidden Weapons were about to strike him!

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track! Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon!"

Tang San reacted swiftly. He first used his movement technique to cleverly dodge some of them, then used Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon to catch the rest.

But after dealing with them, he suddenly remembered Ning Rongrong.

He looked up, only to see that Gu Yi had already sent Ning Rongrong back to the spectators.

"This..." Tang San wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say. He felt like a clown who had just been toyed with.

"Hey! What kind of result is that? I failed just like that?" Ning Rongrong shouted unwillingly from the group.

"What else would it be? If an enemy Soul Master got that close to you, would you still have any chance of surviving?" Yu Xiaogang said coldly, his expression dark.

He was in a terrible mood. This single move alone had revealed the gap between them. At present, the situation in the arena was basically a complete rout.

Clearly, if Gu Yi wished it, Tang San would have no choice but to let Gu Yi toy with him.

But Tang San had no intention of giving up. Although he had lost his support, it did not matter. To him, having support or not made no difference.

"First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Entanglement!"

Tang San's idea was simple. Since he could not restrict Gu Yi's movements, he would use his Soul Skill to mislead him, then attack from Gu Yi's blind spot.

Gu Yi could not possibly keep his Third Soul Skill active forever. As long as he did not know Tang San had launched an attack, it would be much easier.

However, that meant he could not use those mechanical Hidden Weapons. Though powerful, their attacks were too obvious and would likely be evaded by Gu Yi.

Perfect. The Dragon Beard Needle I bought from the headmaster earlier can finally come in handy.

As he thought, Tang San released his Soul Skill. Behind him, Blue Silver Grass surged toward Gu Yi like a tide.

"Actually, I don't want to waste too much time with you. Let's just end this."

Gu Yi stood calmly in place and spoke softly.

As he spoke, his gaze locked onto Tang San, who was releasing his Soul Skill, and he snapped his fingers again.

"Dark Bone Blooms."

The moment his words fell, a powerful sense of danger rose in Tang San's heart.

Sharp, gigantic bone spikes burst from beneath Tang San's feet, just as Dai Mubai had experienced earlier.

Tang San's Soul Skill was interrupted. Threatened by the bone spikes, he could only keep using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge.

His speed was fast, but the bone spikes pursued him even faster!

Gu Yi's Fourth Soul Skill was a locking skill. No matter how Tang San dodged, he could not shake it off.

He could only watch as the bone spikes drew ever closer. Then, the Bone Dragon appeared, opening its savage jaws and biting down at him!

"Enough! End it here!"

Seeing that Tang San had nowhere left to dodge, Yu Xiaogang finally spoke. At that moment, the Bone Dragon changed direction again and smashed through the wall beside them.

"Hu... hu... hu..."

Tang San leaned against the wall, his breathing somewhat ragged. Just now, when Gu Yi's Soul Skill had locked onto him, he had felt utterly powerless.

He could not escape. Once locked onto by that Soul Skill, he could only take it head-on. But how could a control-type Soul Elder like him withstand that attack?

He had lost. Lost miserably!

His teacher had clearly demanded that he win. He had even used the Tang Sect's secret techniques and Hidden Weapons, yet he had still lost in such a complete mess.

Tang San felt rather depressed. He looked deeply at Gu Yi and let out a helpless sigh.

"Alright! Everyone, gather here!" Yu Xiaogang gave another order.

Very soon, everyone lined up neatly once more, waiting for Yu Xiaogang to speak.

"So these are the so-called monster genius Soul Masters? A whole group of you wasn't even enough to warm Gu Yi up!"

"Dai Mubai, you lost your composure from the very beginning of the battle. Does Gu Yi really look that terrifying? Were you really that afraid of him?"

"Ma Hongjun, Oscar, you knew Gu Yi had teleportation-type Soul Skills. Why didn't you eat Mushroom Sausages from the very start and use high-speed movement to break the lock? Did you have to stand there like idiots and wait to die?"

"Ning Rongrong, your problem is even worse. As a Support-type Soul Master, when an enemy Soul Master got close to you, you had no reaction at all. If this had been a battlefield, you would already be dead!"

"Tang San! Your problem is the greatest. As a control-type Soul Master, what you need most is the awareness and judgment to observe the entire battlefield. You had clearly watched Gu Yi fight twice already. Did you still not know what he would do next?"

"Because of your mistake, Ning Rongrong was killed!"

"As a control-type Soul Master, you did not even get the chance to control Gu Yi from the start. Instead, you ended up being controlled by someone else."

"You have truly disappointed me!"

"At the academy entrance, I have prepared boulders for you. That is your punishment. Now, all of you go wait at the academy entrance!"

"Gu Yi, stay behind."

"Yes."

The moment they heard there would be a punishment, everyone's expressions darkened, but they still obediently walked out, except for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

Yu Xiaogang glanced at the two of them, then slowly walked up to Gu Yi and pulled him aside.

"Gu Yi, I have a question for you."

"Do you want to become my disciple?"
