Yu Xiaogang was sent spinning two and a half times through the air before he crashed to the ground, where he lay for a long while without getting back up.
The sight left everyone present stunned.
Even Xiao Chenyu could not believe that Jiang Liang had actually hit Grandmaster!
Though he usually found Yu Xiaogang rather unpleasant as well.
With the Dean backing him, however, no one dared hit him. At most, they mocked him behind his back.
A warrior—he was practically a warrior!
Xiao Chenyu was completely convinced.
That alone made Jiang Liang worthy of being the academy's boss!
Tang San, on the other hand, looked as though his own father had died. He hurried over and helped Yu Xiaogang up.
"Teacher, are you all right?"
How could Yu Xiaogang possibly be all right?
His head was spinning, and stars were flashing before his eyes.
Tang San glared viciously at Jiang Liang and snapped, "Jiang Liang, I'll give you one chance. Apologize to my teacher right now, or don't blame me for being rude."
Xiao Wu's eyes immediately lit up.
"Jiang Liang, let me do it! Let me!"
She had not gotten her fill after fighting only Xiao Chenyu earlier.
Now that Tang San had delivered himself right to her door, she had to let him taste her strength!
Seeing how eager she was, Jiang Liang smiled and took a step back.
"Fine, then you go ahead!"
Xiao Wu grinned and immediately stepped forward.
"Tang San, come on! Let Sister Xiao Wu show you what she can do!"
The moment Tang San saw her, his heart started racing again.
Damn it, is this the ability of that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?
That was right. Back in the Soul Hunting Forest, he had learned from his father, Tang Hao, that there was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast at the academy.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Spirit Bone were extremely precious.
But his father had told him that an expert was protecting that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Therefore, if he wanted her Soul Ring and Spirit Bone, he would have to rely on himself.
He had to make that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast fall for him, then strike when the opportunity arose.
At that thought, Tang San took a step back.
"I never fight girls."
Then he looked at Jiang Liang and shouted, "Jiang Liang, do you only know how to hide behind a girl?"
"You're so annoying! Watch my foot!"
Xiao Wu immediately charged forward in a huff.
She explosively pushed off the ground and swung a whip kick at Tang San, giving him no chance to put on an act and provoke anyone.
Tang San's pupils contracted slightly.
So fast!
He hurriedly used the Tang Sect movement technique, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, sliding swiftly backward to evade the strike.
When Xiao Wu's first attack missed, she pursued him again.
Her attacks were fierce and swift, and her footwork was tricky. She specialized in sticking close and engaging in close-quarters combat.
But who was Tang San?
A Tang Sect disciple who possessed the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record contained techniques for close-range fighting.
Tang San immediately used Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon. Its stance somewhat resembled Taiji, and with just a few movements, he redirected Xiao Wu's force away.
The surrounding students were dumbfounded.
They had never expected the thin, frail-looking Tang San to be this formidable!
After all, Xiao Wu had just defeated Xiao Chenyu!
"I didn't expect him to be this strong!"
Among the Work-Study Students, someone could not help crying out.
Wang Sheng, however, wore a disdainful expression. "No matter how strong he is, he's still just a coward."
His voice was not loud, but Tang San heard every word clearly.
Tang San's gaze immediately turned cold. He continued using Capturing Dragon Controlling Crane to shove Xiao Wu away.
"You're no match for me."
"Jiang Liang, are you still going to keep hiding?"
He clenched his fists tightly, determined to reclaim what he had lost yesterday!
At the side, Yu Xiaogang grimaced in pain, yet he could not suppress a sinister smile. His eyes were full of vengeful delight.
Good! This is how it should be!
Tang San, your teacher is relying entirely on you today.
You must let Jiang Liang know that offending me, Yu Xiaogang, will never end well!
Xiao Wu, meanwhile, ground her teeth in anger.
She had thought Tang San was nothing special, but he turned out to be slipperier than a loach!
Damn it!
"First Soul Skill!"
She was just about to activate her first Soul Skill when Jiang Liang stopped her.
"All right, Xiao Wu. Leave the rest to me. Get some rest."
Tang San said coldly, "Jiang Liang, you've finally come out."
Jiang Liang yawned and stepped forward twice. "If you have any moves, hurry up and use them. Your new Soul Skill."
"Didn't you follow Yu Xiaogang to the Soul Hunting Forest today to Hunt Soul Rings? Come on, show me."
"You're courting death!" Tang San snorted and revealed his Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass.
At the same time, a standard yellow Soul Ring appeared beneath his feet.
A Hundred-Year Soul Ring.
It truly was quite rare.
Yu Xiaogang put on an unfathomable look, as if that yellow Soul Ring had something to do with him.
He was inwardly thinking that this group of fools had no eye for talent.
See that? Become my disciple, and you can obtain a Hundred-Year Soul Ring!
Regret it now!
Today, I, Yu Xiaogang, will finally hold my head high!
But the outcome was beyond his expectations. The people around him did not seem particularly surprised by that yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring.
That was because the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring Jiang Liang had revealed earlier was simply too dazzling.
When Yu Xiaogang saw that the surrounding students had no reaction at all, he became even more furious.
"Tang San, attack! Show them your Soul Ring and defeat Jiang Liang!"
"Yes, Teacher." Tang San nodded solemnly. "Jiang Liang, reveal your Martial Soul and Soul Ring."
Jiang Liang merely chuckled. "I'm afraid you'll be scared to death if I reveal my Soul Rings."
"Such arrogance!"
Tang San shouted angrily, "First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Entanglement!"
As the light on that Soul Ring flashed, the Blue Silver Grass in his hand shot forward like a venomous snake.
His first Soul Skill came from a Datura Snake that was over four hundred years old.
It not only enhanced the toughness of the Blue Silver Grass, but also added poison to it.
When it entangled someone, it could not only restrain them but also poison them.
Tang San had great confidence in his Soul Skill.
As long as Jiang Liang was restrained, even if his level was higher, he would still lose.
Whoosh—!
Just as he expected, the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Jiang Liang's body with almost no resistance.
A smug smile appeared on Tang San's face. "Jiang Liang, you've lost."
Jiang Liang looked down at the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around him and shook his head helplessly.
"Wildfire cannot burn it all away; when spring winds blow, it grows anew."
"Such perfectly good Blue Silver Grass, and the two of you have turned it into this. How tragic."
As he spoke, he barely exerted any force before snapping the Blue Silver Grass around his body.
"How could this be..."
Yu Xiaogang was even more unable to believe it.
Tang San stared at the shattered Blue Silver Grass scattered across the ground, stunned for quite some time.
When he looked up, he saw Jiang Liang holding a dark blue longsword.
The instant that sword appeared, the temperature around them plummeted to a terrifying low.
Buzz—!
At the same time, two black Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings rose beneath him, their surging aura completely enveloping the two of them.
"Ten... Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings!"
Yu Xiaogang looked as if he had seen a ghost. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the two black Soul Rings in utter disbelief.
Tang San was completely petrified on the spot, even forgetting to breathe.
"Ha ha ha!"
Seeing how shocked the two were, all the students gathered to watch burst into laughter.
Wang Sheng mocked them mercilessly. "Tang San, did you think your Hundred-Year Soul Ring was that impressive?"
"Boss Jiang's Soul Rings are Ten-Thousand-Year ones!"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Yu Xiaogang staggered back half a step, his finger pointing at Jiang Liang trembling.
"They're fake! That's right, they must be fake."
"According to my theory, the maximum age of a Soul Master's first Soul Ring is only 423 years. How could Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings possibly appear?"
"Jiang Liang, your Soul Rings are fake!"
After saying that, he turned and shouted at Tang San, "Tang San, don't let him scare you! He must have used some kind of disguise skill to make them appear black!"
"Attack now! Defeat him!"
