Lin Hui had already prepared what he would say.

"My Martial Soul isn't actually an ordinary Iron Ball. It's called the Ultra Ball. Once I obtain a Soul Ring, it can copy the Soul Skills that the corresponding Soul Beast could use in life."

"So what you just saw was nothing more than Blue Silver Grass's skills."

"And my First Soul Ring came from a Blue Silver Grass."

The sixty-year-old teacher had a slight stoop in his back. He nodded thoughtfully and said,

"So each of your Soul Rings gives you the skills of the Soul Beast it came from, is that right?"

Lin Hui nodded.

This world was still far too dangerous. Until he was strong enough, there was no need for him to tell the truth.

There was a huge difference between a Soul Ring that copied a Soul Skill and one that summoned a Soul Beast.

During the fight just now, Lin Hui had explicitly mentioned only the Parasite Soul Skill. Though the Blue Silver Emperor had later used the effect of Bind, only the user knew the true function of a Soul Skill and the extent of its effects.

He had used two Soul Skills in practice, but Lin Hui decided to claim he had used only one and pass it off as the truth.

That way, until he was strong enough, Thousand Blue Locking Domain and Blue Silver Overlord Spear could remain trump cards.

Of course, this hadn't been the story Lin Hui had planned to tell at first.

He just hadn't expected the fight to end after he used only two of the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Skills.

Tang San hadn't used any Hidden Weapons in this duel, and he still had another Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.

Even if Lin Hui faced Tang San again, he would have to be especially careful.

Besides, the Soul Beasts summoned by Lin Hui's Soul Rings didn't have to appear one at a time. Summoning several at once would consume a great deal of his Soul Power, but if he became a Titled Douluo, in theory, he could summon nine Soul Beasts simultaneously!

The combat strength of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was equivalent to that of a human Titled Douluo. As long as he captured enough powerful Soul Beasts, he would be able to take on several Titled Douluo at once in a bloody battle.

On the surface, his one-on-one fight would be a Titled Douluo against another Titled Douluo. In reality, it would be nine Soul Beasts against one Titled Douluo.

That was terrifying!

Soon, the teachers' cries of amazement pulled Lin Hui's thoughts back to the present.

"That's incredible! With this ability, Lin Hui can practically choose and combine his Soul Ring skills freely. His fighting style won't be limited by the traits of his Martial Soul at all!"

"Teacher Li Chun, you really have raised an excellent student!"

"Hahaha, you think so?" Li Chun happily scratched his head, then reminded Lin Hui, "Xiao Hui, there's still one more match. It's the battle for first and second place, so give it your all!"

"Don't worry, Teacher." Lin Hui smiled.

After this battle, the students' gazes toward Lin Hui gradually filled with admiration.

Quite a few of the female students were already looking at him with unmistakable, lovestruck eyes.

But at that moment, Ah Yin's exquisite body once again came to Lin Hui's mind.

Even as a married woman, Ah Yin was far more beautiful than any of these students.

Lin Hui had already decided: once today's matches were over, he would have Ah Yin attend to him!

He'd worked hard for most of his life. Wasn't he allowed to enjoy himself?

When the female students began sending Lin Hui flirtatious glances, Xiao Wu puffed out her cheeks in a huff.

"Lin Hui, you did pretty well today, but I'll definitely beat you next!"

Then Xiao Wu remembered that Lin Hui had hurt her third brother!

"And you went too far with Tang San. I'm going to teach you a good, hard lesson!"

Xiao Wu suddenly realized her feelings for Lin Hui were complicated.

Lin Hui had plenty of good qualities, but hurting her third brother was a terrible mistake!

And yet, deep down, she still wanted to keep spending time with him.

Her heart was in turmoil.

"Ugh, this is so frustrating!"

After about ten minutes of rest, the second semifinal began.

Teacher Li Chun announced from the stage,

"In this match, Xiao Wu will face Wang Sheng. The winner will compete against Lin Hui for the championship!"

The whole arena erupted in cheers again.

The students weren't really wondering whether Wang Sheng could win. They only wanted to know how many rounds he could last.

What the students and teachers were eager to find out was who would claim the final victory in the Academy Grand Competition: Xiao Wu or Lin Hui!

And, of course, who would get the prizes!

Lin Hui was also curious about just how powerful the Green Wood Liquid was.

Since it came from the sap of a plant Soul Beast, could it help heal Ah Yin's injuries?

Also, in the original story, Wang Sheng couldn't beat Xiao Chenyu. Perhaps because he had knocked Xiao Chenyu out early in this competition, Wang Sheng had managed to make it to the final four.

Sometimes, luck was a kind of strength, too!

Wang Sheng and Xiao Wu soon climbed into the ring.

"Sister Xiao Wu, go easy on me, okay?" The moment Wang Sheng stepped onto the stage, he gave her a meek smile.

"Don't worry. I'm your leader, after all. I won't beat you to death!" Xiao Wu said proudly.

"Now..." Teacher Li Chun raised a hand, then lowered it. "Begin!"

Xiao Wu charged forward eagerly. They had barely exchanged a couple of blows when Wang Sheng clutched his stomach, dropped to his knees, and put on a pained expression.

"Oh no, Teacher... I think I ate something bad... I can't continue this match... I forfeit!"

"Are you okay?" Xiao Wu asked with concern. She didn't attack again. After all, she was the leader of the work-study students and cared about Wang Sheng's condition.

"Uh... well..." Li Chun hesitated. Wang Sheng's terrible acting hadn't fooled him, but Wang Sheng had at least exchanged a few moves before forfeiting, so Li Chun could only accept it. "All right."

Li Chun sighed.

"Xiao Wu wins. Next, Xiao Wu and Lin Hui will decide the champion of this year's Academy Grand Competition!"

The students below cheered even louder!

"I really want to know who's stronger, Xiao Wu or Lin Hui!"

"Exactly! I thought Tang San would be the strongest of the three, but he was the first one eliminated!"

"His teacher is the Grandmaster, after all!"

Just then, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang returned from the woods. The moment he reached the foot of the stage, he heard those remarks, which sounded like mockery.

The words stabbed Yu Xiaogang in the heart all over again.

He felt even worse!

Now even some random student from the academy dared to talk back to him!

Without a doubt, this was the lowest point he'd reached since taking a position at this academy!

Of course, Yu Xiaogang didn't know that things were still going to get worse...
