Using Vines to Attack Fire? Are You an Idiot?

"Fierce Tiger Leap!"

Tao Ping activated it once again. This soul skill sent him into high-speed movement as he searched for an opening in Wu Xiaodong's defenses!

Tao Ping kept moving rapidly, forcing Wu Xiaodong to constantly change the direction of his Shield Axe to guard against Tao Ping's attacks.

The two remained locked in a stalemate for a while. Wu Xiaodong was already starting to fall behind, always half a beat too slow.

"Heh heh!"

Seizing an opportunity, Tao Ping charged straight at Wu Xiaodong!

Sure enough, Wu Xiaodong was still half a beat too slow. By the time Tao Ping closed in, his Shield Axe had not moved to defend the point of attack.

Seeing victory within reach, Tao Ping threw a full-force punch, intending to take Wu Xiaodong down in a single blow.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to hit Wu Xiaodong—

A strange smile appeared on Wu Xiaodong's face.

"Not good!"

Tao Ping was no fool. He understood that Wu Xiaodong had deliberately exposed this opening to lure him in!

However, it was already too late.

Wu Xiaodong twisted sideways and narrowly dodged his attack.

At the same time, Wu Xiaodong's Second Soul Ring lit up. This was the prelude to activating his soul skill.

"Shield Bash!"

The already enormous Shield Axe in Wu Xiaodong's hands instantly grew several times larger before smashing viciously into Tao Ping's back.

"Bang!"

Tao Ping was blasted straight to the ground.

However, Wu Xiaodong had no intention of stopping. After all, Tao Ping was also a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster like him, not someone who could be dealt with so easily.

He held the Shield Axe in front of himself, then charged viciously toward the fallen Tao Ping.

With the massive Shield Axe and Wu Xiaodong's tremendous strength—

He was like a bulldozer, sending Tao Ping flying with a brutal slam.

"Pfft!"

At last, the two successive heavy blows had seriously injured Tao Ping, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

For a moment, he was unable to rise from the ground!

A glint of surprise flashed through the Spirit Hall deacon's eyes.

"Canghui Academy truly deserves to be called an advanced academy! There are really quite a few outstanding students here!"

"I came to see the legendary young genius whose Second Soul Ring is a Millennium Soul Ring, but I never expected to also see such an unusual martial soul that combined offense and defense. Not bad, not bad, truly not bad."

Vice City Lord Huang said, "Deacon, you're right! I've heard that the four students in this class are each more talented than the last! Their martial souls are stranger than the last as well!"

"Oh? Then I'm looking forward to this more and more!"

Vice City Lord Huang and the Spirit Hall deacon chatted and laughed together. City Lord Li, however, looked dreadful.

Because he knew that all four students in this class had been attacked by people sent by his damned son. They had formed a deep grudge. The more talented they were, the worse it was for the Li Family!

Vice City Lord Huang had always suffered at City Lord Li's hands. How could he possibly miss such a perfect chance to mock him?

He immediately said, "Eh? City Lord Li, the academy has produced so many geniuses. That's wonderful news for Wind City! After all, they are Wind City's future. Why do you look so unhappy?"

City Lord Li cursed inwardly, Fuck.

Yet he could not show it on his face. He had to suppress his anger, since he could not lose his composure before the Spirit Hall deacon.

He could only smile and say, "Vice City Lord Huang, what are you talking about? Naturally, I'm very happy that the academy has produced geniuses."

"Oh? Is that so? Then I truly judged a gentleman by the standards of a petty man. Hahaha!" Seeing Li Feng's forced smile, Vice City Lord Huang could not help laughing.

Hearing Vice City Lord Huang's laughter, City Lord Li could no longer maintain the smile on his face. His expression darkened like the bottom of a pot.

At that moment, he truly wanted to destroy his own son!

Seeing that Tao Ping could no longer stand, the referee immediately announced, "Wu Xiaodong wins! Both sides, please send out your second student!"

Ye Zhiqiu's expression was extremely ugly. He had never expected that even though Class One had not sent out Wang Sheng in the first match, they had still lost.

"Zhou Da, you're up!"

"Wu Xiaodong, come down. Wang Sheng, go up!"

As Ye Zhiqiu sent out his fighter, Ji Bing made her own arrangements. Wu Xiaodong's soul skill and its characteristics had already been exposed. If he continued, he would definitely be targeted.

Sure enough, when Ye Zhiqiu saw Wu Xiaodong step down, his expression became even uglier.

Losing was not terrifying. What was terrifying was losing all three matches! That would be utterly humiliating.

"Zhou Da, martial soul: Blood-Sucking Vine. Level twenty-two control-type Soul Grandmaster!"

"Wang Sheng, martial soul: Blazing Blade. Level twenty-five assault-type Soul Grandmaster!"

"Hiss!"

"Level twenty-five?"

Everyone could not help drawing in a sharp breath.

They had always known that Wang Sheng was a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, but everyone had assumed he had only recently reached the second ring, at most level twenty-two. They had never expected him to already be level twenty-five!

But how could they know that Wang Sheng had been born with innate level twenty Soul Power? After absorbing his second ring, he had immediately reached level twenty-three. He had not slacked off during these days either. Already faster than ordinary people in training, he had risen another two levels under Ji Bing's special training.

Even the Spirit Hall deacon widened his eyes at this moment. A child not even seven years old had reached level twenty-five. Even among the many geniuses of Spirit Hall, he would stand out from the crowd.

He was completely comparable to the Martial Soul Hall Golden Generation.

The Spirit Hall deacon could not help sighing. "What a pity, what a pity. Such a terrible pity!"

If it were not against the rules, he would have wanted to poach him.

The expressions on Vice City Lord Huang's and City Lord Li's faces formed a stark contrast at this moment! One was beaming, while the other was as gloomy as water.

Even the referee was stunned. It took him quite a while to recover.

"The match begins!"

Knowing that Wang Sheng's Soul Power was stronger than his own, Zhou Da immediately decided to strike first!

"Bind!"

A large number of vines grew from Zhou Da's Blood-Sucking Vine martial soul and wound toward Wang Sheng.

This move was almost identical to Tang San's first soul skill. It was quite a good control-type soul skill!

Yet Wang Sheng wore a blank expression, standing there without moving as though he were an idiot.

"Whoosh..."

Wang Sheng was instantly bound tightly.

"Hm?"

The attack succeeding so easily instead made Zhou Da freeze. He could not understand why Wang Sheng had not dodged!

Could Wang Sheng be all show and no substance? Were the academy's rumors all false?

"Hey! Did you not hear my introduction? If I were you, I'd have surrendered immediately. Even if you didn't surrender, you should have kept moving around to drain my Soul Power for your next teammate, rather than activating a soul skill!"

"Using vines to attack fire? Are you an idiot?"
