The teachers at Eastsea Academy had indeed shown precise judgment when assigning students to classes.
Although Wu Zhangkong had long anticipated that the overall level of Class Five's students might leave something to be desired,
he had never imagined it would be this bad.
There were only twenty students in the entire class, and a full eight of them completely lacked basic combat skills.
Their so-called "support" abilities were utterly useless, good for nothing at all.
And among the Battle Soul Masters, three had low-grade Trash Martial Souls hardly any better than Blue Silver Grass.
This had undoubtedly cast a shadow over the strength of the entire class.
Even more absurdly, two utter weaklings had ended up facing each other in a ridiculous clash.
Neither knew how to attack or defend, so they could only shove each other around like children playing house.
It was laughable beyond words!
If not for the compulsory education policy, most of them probably wouldn't need to continue cultivating.
After all, with their current aptitude and potential, breaking through level twenty was little more than a pipe dream!
"Mu Han, you'll fight Tang Wulin." The only one who had managed to impress him was Mu Han.
But Mu Han had only fought that one match.
Even Zhou Changxi, a Strength-Type Battle Soul Master, had been easily suppressed by him. As for the others, there was no need to mention them.
Against a Control-Type Battle Spirit Master, being controlled for ten seconds was no different from being dead.
And although Mu Han's first Soul Skill was powerful, it didn't consume much Soul Power.
At the very least, he could easily hold out for ten seconds.
Unlike other Control-Type Battle Soul Masters, Mu Han also had strong offensive power.
He only needed to use Wind Eye to control his opponent, then walk up with his "Brick."
So there was no need for the others to fight.
Only Tang Wulin's strength had given people some reason to look forward to his match.
If he had a Strength-Type Martial Soul, Wu Zhangkong might not have paid him any attention.
But Tang Wulin's Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass, which gave him no boost to his strength at all.
The fact that he could possess such strength despite that made him intriguing.
At Tang Wulin's feet appeared a constantly rotating, hollow, white typhoon-shaped vortex.
It was Mu Han's first Soul Skill, "Wind Eye"!
But compared with Zhou Changxi, Tang Wulin was in much better shape.
Still, he didn't rush forward. Instead, he released his Blue Silver Grass.
After obtaining the Ghost Vine Soul Ring, the Blue Silver Grass had become tougher and taken on an appearance resembling Ghost Vine.
But Mu Han only sensed it for a moment before shaking his head in disappointment.
It wasn't even as good as his father's.
After his father, Tang San, absorbed a six-hundred-year-old Ghost Vine Soul Ring into his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul,
even the scent it released into the air contained a certain amount of neurotoxin.
Tang Wulin was clearly far behind that now.
And he was also far behind the Tang Wulin from the original story.
Mu Han gave it a light shake, and the Blue Silver Grass on his body snapped right away.
In the original story, Tang Wulin's mutated Blue Silver Grass theoretically couldn't be broken before his Soul Power ran out!
As for the poison on the Blue Silver Grass?
Mu Han's first Soul Spirit, the Vermilion Clear Ice Toad, was also highly poisonous. It also possessed the attributes of ice, fire, and poison.
And after completing the balance and cycle, he had essentially completed the Ice Fire Refining Gold Body.
He was now immune to fire, ice, and poison.
Seeing Tang Wulin charge at him, Mu Han suddenly clenched his open right hand.
A powerful suction force shot out from his palm.
Wu Zhangkong's expression immediately changed. "Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon? No, is that still the same first Soul Skill?"
This was the true power of the first Soul Skill, Wind Eye.
As for the Wind Eye he had released earlier, Mu Han had merely used his Spirit Connection Realm mental power to cast it from a distance.
At the Spirit Connection Realm, one began to grasp control of mental power and truly wield it at will.
Releasing a "Wind Eye" from a distance wasn't difficult.
It was simply much weaker.
After all, it was a thousand-year Soul Skill. Its power couldn't possibly be that simple.
The true first Soul Skill, "Wind Eye," was at least twice as powerful!
The suction force dragged Tang Wulin through the air in an arc, sending him straight toward Mu Han.
Although the force pulled him off balance,
when Tang Wulin saw Mu Han drawing closer, he couldn't help beaming with delight.
Although his Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass, he had been born with divine strength. He was far stronger than Zhou Changxi, who had a Strength-Type Martial Soul!
But a toad, only about the size of a palm and radiating a crimson-gold sheen, appeared on Mu Han's shoulder.
A crimson-gold vortex formed in its mouth, then poured down like a torrent, sweeping straight toward Tang Wulin.
The clang of metal, the biting chill of ice, and the searing heat of fire made the air twist violently.
The clashing elements fused together, creating a near-madness that seemed distorted and hysterical.
In the end, Wu Zhangkong intervened and stopped it.
A flash of pale blue light streaked by.
The crimson-gold glow instantly split in two and vanished without a trace.
A pale blue longsword had appeared in Wu Zhangkong's right hand at some point.
Two yellow, two purple, and two black Soul Rings appeared. Those were Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings!
Ever since Soul Beasts had been driven to the brink of extinction, Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings had become rare.
Even the Spirit Pagoda found it extremely difficult to create a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Soul.
Obtaining a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was not something one could achieve through good talent alone.
Yet Wu Zhangkong's expression was grave.
That crimson-gold blast just now had been terrifying. It hadn't seemed like the power of a One-Ring Soul Master at all.
Was it something like a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?
Or perhaps a fusion skill between a Soul Master and a Soul Spirit?
He remembered that Shrek Academy seemed to have records related to this.
A Martial Soul Fusion Skill required the Martial Souls of two Soul Masters to be compatible, with a compatibility rate above sixty percent.
The higher the compatibility, the greater the power. The highest compatibility rate in history had been one hundred percent.
That was the fusion of the Martial Souls of Spirit Ice Douluo and his wife ten thousand years ago, which produced four Martial Soul Fusion Skills!
But a fusion skill between a Soul Master and a Soul Spirit required their compatibility to exceed one hundred percent.
The limit of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill was merely the starting point for a Soul Master–Soul Spirit fusion skill.
However, Wu Zhangkong remembered that the person in the records who had achieved that fusion skill was a nine-ring Titled Douluo?
He himself had awakened a Beast Martial Soul.
When he obtained his Seventh Soul Ring, he absorbed a Soul Spirit with one hundred percent compatibility.
It was a Soul Spirit of the same species as his Martial Soul.
When he reached the eight-ring level, he used some Soul Bones to make his Martial Soul undergo a Second Awakening.
His Martial Soul was enhanced, but its compatibility with the Soul Spirit decreased.
Then, when he reached the nine-ring level, he used his twice-awakened Martial Soul to make the Soul Spirit undergo a Second Awakening as well.
At that point, the compatibility between his Martial Soul and Soul Spirit exceeded one hundred percent, and that was what produced the fusion skill.
But Mu Han was only a One-Ring Soul Master. Had he already managed to produce a fusion skill between his Martial Soul and Soul Spirit?
