The next morning, the fourth round of the individual competition.
When the lineup was read out on the radio, the entire venue was silent for a moment.
"The seventh field, Eastsea Academy Tang Wulin, versus Shrek Academy Ye Xinglan."
Xie Xie stood up suddenly in the audience. "It's finally here!"
Lan Fozi also sat upright, his eyes shining brightly.
Xu Xiaoyan tightened his grip on his clothes and looked nervously at the stage.
Gu Yuena sat aside with a calm expression. He just tilted his head slightly and glanced at Long Yuan on the rostrum in the distance.
Tang Wulin took a deep breath and walked onto the competition stage without hesitation.
Ye Xinglan on the opposite side is already there. She is wearing the school uniform of Shrek, with long blond hair tied in a ponytail, shining in the sun. Stargod Sword is holding it in her hand, and the blade of the sword is flowing with fine light.
The two looked at each other.
Ye Xinglan's eyes were very complicated - there was unwillingness, anger, and a trace of fear that even she was unwilling to admit.
To this day, she no longer knows what cruel words to say. She just wants to defeat the opponent quickly to wash away her shame and prove that her original choice was right.
Tang Wulin's eyes were very calm, as if he was looking at an insignificant opponent.
But it is precisely this disregard that makes Ye Xinglan feel even more aggrieved.
"Start!" the referee ordered.
Ye Xinglan releases Martial Soul immediately.
Two Yellow Soul Ring rose up, and Stargod Sword glowed brightly. Her aura merged with the sword, and her whole body was like an unsheathed sharp blade.
Tang Wulin was still standing there, but this time he released Martial Soul. A Blue Silver Grass came out of his palm, followed by two purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
Earth-shattering sounds erupted from the audience.
"Look, he actually has two purple Soul Ring!"
"But how come his Martial Soul looks like Blue Silver Grass..."
"What's wrong with Blue Silver Grass? He's already so powerful without Martial Soul. He's definitely stronger with Martial Soul."
Ye Xinglan gritted his teeth and tried not to listen to the noisy discussions in the audience.
How can Tang Wulin have two Thousand-Year Soul Ring!
But now that the matter had come to this, she had no choice but to bite the bullet.
"First Soul Skill, Sword God Star!"
The starlight came out of the sword and turned into a silver beam, heading straight for Tang Wulin's chest. The speed was extremely fast and the angle was tricky, leaving a faint silver-white trail in the air.
Tang Wulin Turn sideways and let the beam pass.
The starlight flew past the corner of his clothes, leaving a scorched black mark on the competition stage.
Ye Xinglan didn't pause, the second sword had already followed.
"Second Soul Skill, Sword God Net!"
Countless tiny starlights burst out from the tip of the sword, covering the sky and the earth, like a big net, sealing off all Tang Wulin's dodge space. Each starlight was extremely sharp, enough to leave deep marks on the steel plate.
Tang Wulin did not hide.
He raised his right hand, and the golden scales spread from the wrist to the fingertips. The five fingers opened and directly met the light network.
"Bang!"
The network of light exploded in his palm, turning into dots of starlight and dissipating. There wasn't even a scratch on the golden scales.
Ye Xinglan's face changed.
Tang Wulin glanced at her.
"That's all?"
Ye Xinglan's breathing began to become rapid.
She did not answer. She flashed and turned into a ray of silver light, stabbing Tang Wulin. This time she did not just use Soul Skill, but used her family's swordsmanship to attack together.
The tip of the sword shook, and three sword shadows appeared, stabbing Tang Wulin's throat, chest and abdomen respectively. Each sword shadow carried a sharp sword light, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
Tang Wulin's eyes focused, and he punched out with his right fist, hitting the sword shadow in the middle.
"Dang--"
The fist collided with the tip of the sword, making a sound of gold and iron. The three shadows of the sword dissipated, leaving only the real sword.
Ye Xinglan flicked his wrist, used the force to change his move, and slashed the sword horizontally, heading straight for Tang Wulin's neck.
Tang Wulin advanced instead of retreating. He reached out his right hand and grabbed the sword.
"What?" Ye Xinglan's pupils shrank.
Stargod Sword is sharp enough to cut iron like mud, but at this moment, it is held firmly by the hand without scales, and it is unable to move at all.
Tang Wulin looked at her.
"Have you beaten enough?"
Ye Xinglan gritted his teeth and tried desperately to withdraw the sword, but the hand seemed to be made of iron and remained motionless.
"You--"
Tang Wulin Release your hand and shoot with your left palm at the same time.
With the wind from his palm blowing against his face, Ye Xinglan felt a surge of force, and he jumped into the air and flew straight out of the competition stage.
She wanted to adjust her posture in the air, but the force was too strong and she couldn't control it at all.
"Bang."
She fell off the stage, and Stargod Sword flew out of her hand and was stuck on the ground not far away.
The whole place was quiet for a moment.
The referee was stunned for a second before announcing. "Tang Wulin, winner."
Ye Xinglan was lying down under the stage, but Jiujiu didn't get up.
Xu Lizhi quickly ran over and carefully helped her up. "Sister Xinglan..."
Ye Xinglan pushed his hand away, stood up on her own, and dusted herself off. She didn't look at Tang Wulin or anyone else, she just walked over and picked up Stargod Sword, lowered her head and left quickly.
Xu Lizhi quickly followed.
There was laughter from behind.
"Shrek Academy, you are only at this level, do you really think you are very powerful? It's ridiculous that you act so arrogant every day."
Tang Wulin stood on the stage, looked at her back, and suddenly said, "I'll give you a piece of advice, before becoming a powerful Soul Master, you should first become a human being. Just because I am a student of Shrek, I just want to eat the King's meal. I don't know where I thought I was a bandit."
"Is it possible that you Shrek are just a bandit's den?"
"Hmph! Shuzi, don't be so presumptuous! I, Shrek, am also someone you can criticize?"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from the audience. Although it was not loud, it clearly reached everyone's ears.
Cai Yue'er flew up from the auditorium, her face was ashen, and nine Soul Ring, four purple, four black, and one red, appeared from beside her, and the powerful pressure made the entire Skysea stadium suffocate.
"Uh-"
Tang Wulin's chest felt tight, and he subconsciously released his two Soul Skill.
The first Soul Skill, Blood Explosion. Now it can increase his physical strength by 25% in all aspects.
The second Soul Skill, Boiling. By stimulating Bloodline Power, the growth rate of the first Soul Skill can be doubled. At the same time, your will and vitality will be additionally strengthened, and the speed of recovery from injuries will be accelerated by 100%.
Relying on the power brought by these two Soul Skill and his bloodline, he could barely withstand Cai Yue'er's Soul Power pressure.
"Huh?" Cai Yue'er was a little surprised, but still said calmly, "Although you do have some strength and talent, I will teach you a truth now. Only a genius who has grown up can be called a genius. Don't offend some beings that you can't afford to offend."
While saying that, Cai Yue'er increased the pressure on Soul Power and ran towards Tang Wulin.
"What a Shrek Academy, using the big to bully the small, pretending that I don't exist?"
A figure exuding Golden Light appeared in front of Tang Wulin, with an aura as strong as a mountain, easily resolving Cai Yue'er's Soul Power pressure.
