Yu Xiaogang gently patted Tang San on the shoulder.
"Little San, remember that confidence is the most important thing."
"There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters."
"During this time, your teacher has already proven that you are not a useless Soul Master. Charge forward boldly."
These encouraging words greatly boosted Tang San's confidence.
"Little San, be careful in all things."
Xiao Wu reminded Tang San not to be careless or underestimate his opponent.
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu." Tang San nodded.
Since he needed Shen Yifeng's help to strengthen the Tang Sect, he certainly could not underestimate him so easily.
Quite a few people arrived one after another, including Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena.
"Shen Yifeng, I advise you to give up. It would be bad if I accidentally hurt you."
Upon seeing Shen Yifeng, Tang San still acted just like Yu Xiaogang, advising Shen Yifeng to give up and stop making pointless struggles.
"Tang San, the match hasn't started yet. It's still uncertain who will win." Shen Yifeng said.
"Exactly. You, Tang San, aren't even worthy of carrying shoes for my Yifeng."
Gu Yuena raised her middle finger at Tang San. How dare he look down on her husband? She wanted to knock his teeth out.
A mere Blue Silver Grass dared to show off before her husband.
He really had some nerve.
Tang San's face flushed liver-red, but he said nothing further and headed for the passage leading to the arena.
"Come on, Yifeng. Let's go too."
Gu Yuena took Shen Yifeng by the hand and headed toward the passage.
The Four Great Fierce Beasts also arrived one after another. Since this was their mistress's match, they had come as a cheer squad to support her.
Next came the three members of the Education Committee, along with Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi had heard rumors about the Rainbow Dragon, so he had come specially today to see whether it was truly as remarkable as the stories claimed.
At that moment, the Soul Fighting Arena was roaring with noise as everyone eagerly awaited the match.
The referee raised his right hand and loudly announced:
"One-on-one soul fight: Nine-Colored Dragon King Shen Yifeng versus Thousand-Hand Asura Tang San!"
The entire venue instantly erupted.
Countless gazes focused on the arena and settled on the two of them.
Tang San was the first to release his Martial Soul.
Blue Silver Grass spread from his palm, while two yellow Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet and arranged themselves neatly. It was the most standard Soul Ring configuration.
Shen Yifeng smiled faintly. Seven-colored wings unfurled behind him, and his hair turned seven-colored.
One yellow and two purple Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet, circling around his body.
"What?!"
The three Education Committee members abruptly rose to their feet, their eyes filled with shock.
Ning Fengzhi paused with his teacup in hand, his expression turning solemn.
Three Soul Rings, with the second one being a thousand-year Soul Ring? What medicine had this kid taken to become so fierce?
The corners of Qian Renxue's lips lifted into a satisfied smile.
"One yellow, two purple!"
Meng Shenji exclaimed in disbelief.
He was absolutely a genius. For an Auxiliary System Martial Soul to reach this point was already extraordinarily difficult.
"The match begins!"
The moment the referee's words fell, Tang San made the first move.
"First soul skill, Bind!"
Countless Blue Silver Grasses burst from the ground and lashed toward Shen Yifeng like venomous snakes.
He had to seize the initiative. If he became passive, defeat would be inevitable.
He did not dare underestimate Shen Yifeng and had to go all out.
He had already lost to Shen Yifeng twice, but those had both been team battles. This time, he definitely would not lose again.
Shen Yifeng remained standing where he was.
"Second ability, Rock Defense!"
Orange light covered his entire body, and his skin hardened with the texture of stone.
The Blue Silver Grass wrapped around him, only to be instantly cut apart by sharp spikes.
Tang San froze. He had not expected it to be broken so easily and hurriedly withdrew his Soul Power.
In the spectator stands, Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly. "Something's not right. Does this guy have additional abilities?"
"This is the first time I've ever seen something like this."
Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged looks.
At their age, they had seen all sorts of things, yet this was still a first for them.
Ning Rongrong felt her scalp tingle. Being able to harden one's own body was an incredibly powerful defensive ability.
"Second Soul Skill, Parasite!"
Tang San tapped the ground with his foot and used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to circle behind Shen Yifeng.
The Blue Silver Grass seeds planted earlier erupted at once, drilling up from beneath Shen Yifeng's feet.
"Flame Burn!"
Crimson flames flared up, enveloping Shen Yifeng's entire body.
All the Blue Silver Grass instantly turned to ash, leaving not even the slightest trace behind.
Tang San's expression changed, and he retreated several steps.
This time, Meng Shenji, Zhi Lin, and Bai Baoshan were the ones unable to remain calm. They had never expected Shen Yifeng to possess such a flame-burning ability.
This ability was far too monstrous.
No matter whether he won or lost in the end, they had to recruit him into Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Letting another academy have him would be a genuine waste.
Tang San steadied himself and waved his hand. Dozens of Locust Stones whistled through the air, covering the area around Shen Yifeng.
He had to use hidden weapons. Soul Skills alone could not defeat Shen Yifeng at all.
"Thunder Speed!"
This was the ability Shen Yifeng had awakened after absorbing his third Soul Ring. It greatly increased his speed.
Golden lightning instantly coiled around Shen Yifeng's body.
His figure flashed, leaving behind an afterimage where he had stood.
All the Locust Stones struck the afterimage.
"Bone-Piercing Needle!"
Tang San seized the opening, and a slender needle shot straight at Shen Yifeng's chest.
Shen Yifeng flashed away again, easily avoiding it.
At another section of the spectator stands, Gu Yuena walked over to the Four Great Fierce Beasts.
"All of you, cheer for your mistress!"
Holding Seven-Colored Sticks, they began shouting, "Go! Go! Rainbow Dragon King, go!!!"
Their voices completely drowned out everyone else's, especially Di Tian and Xiong Jun. This time, they had truly gone all out and were determined to cheer properly.
Affected by their enthusiasm, the others also picked up Seven-Colored Sticks and began cheering for Rainbow Dragon King Shen Yifeng.
The thunderous cries spread throughout the arena. Watching the scene below from his private room, Ning Fengzhi felt dazed.
"Dad, he's amazing."
Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled. It was her first time seeing such a formidable Auxiliary System Soul Master.
It would not be an exaggeration to say he surpassed the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
Though she did not want to admit it, Auxiliary System Soul Masters with the ability to protect themselves were indeed far too rare.
The cheers crashed toward the two fighters like enormous waves.
Tang San's hidden weapons missed again, leaving him increasingly irritated.
With all the noise affecting him, he grew even more confused and agitated.
Every single one of them was cheering for Shen Yifeng.
Tang San gritted his teeth, a fierce glint flashing through his eyes.
He had originally intended to save this hidden weapon for after entering the academy, but to defeat Shen Yifeng now, he could only use it ahead of time.
His gaze locked onto Shen Yifeng, who was flying through the sky amid flickering seven-colored light.
With a flick of his wrist, Tang San silently fired a Dragon Whisker Needle.
The silver needle was as thin as a hair and nearly invisible beneath the sunlight.
This was his final move. He refused to believe it could fail, and at that speed, it would definitely hit his opponent.
Just as the Dragon Whisker Needle was about to strike Shen Yifeng.
A dazzling wave of silver light burst from within his body.
A massive Silver Dragon Phantom soared into the air and opened its mouth, swallowing every Dragon Whisker Needle.
The entire venue fell silent.
Everyone widened their eyes, staring at the majestic Silver Dragon Phantom.
Silver Dragon Phantom!
