Dai Mubai was carried out!
He'd probably been disfigured.
Haki didn't feel good when it hit someone.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Dai Mubai, who was on the verge of death and had already passed out. As a Beast Martial Soul user, Dai Mubai's physical defenses shouldn't have been this poor.
Who was this Ice Heart Candy?
Yu Xiaogang and Flender exchanged a glance. Neither of them could see through him.
"Flender, what do you think?" Yu Xiaogang asked, his expression slightly grave.
Flender folded his arms across his chest. He'd watched the battle closely and said,
"His Soul Power Level wasn't faked, but his Soul Power had an extraordinary dominance and ferocity to it. Perhaps it's the result of some kind of top-tier Martial Soul."
Yu Xiaogang nodded, thinking that was likely. But as a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he knew their Martial Soul was already considered one of the continent's top-tier ones, and even its Soul Power wasn't this dominant or ferocious.
Could it be a Mutated Martial Soul?
Or perhaps a divine-level Martial Soul, even stronger than a top-tier one?
Han Bing stood on the stage, basking in the cheers. After the fight, he hadn't even broken a sweat.
He glanced disdainfully toward Yu Xiaogang.
Seeing Gangzi's puzzled expression, he gave a mocking laugh and walked off the stage.
Just then, Tang San and Xiao Wu returned after finishing a two-on-two match. When they saw Dai Mubai in this state, Tang San was shocked and asked,
"Teacher, what happened to Boss Dai? Even if he lost, his strength shouldn't have let him get hurt this badly!"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head, not knowing how to answer. Instead, he said calmly,
"Xiao San, just watch that Ice Heart Candy's fight for yourself in a bit."
Tang San furrowed his brows, secretly wondering what kind of opponent could have made Boss Dai lose so miserably.
After Han Bing left the stage, the other students took their turns one by one. As it happened, everyone had won their first match that day, keeping their records spotless.
Next came the two-on-two matches. Han Bing waited off to the side. After training with him for so long, everyone had made tremendous progress.
They also came through the two-on-two matches without a single loss.
Last came the team battle. Teacher Gao Lan had told them they had to take part in the one-on-one, two-on-two, and team battles.
He took his team to register. Since there were Soul Masters above level forty on the team, their first opponents were the Silver Soul Battle Team.
Since they all wore masks, Teacher Gao Lan named them the Masked Battle Team. Their opponents had won five matches in a row.
The War Bear Battle Team!
All seven members were Soul Ancestors above level forty. Their team was called the War Bear Battle Team, and their Martial Souls were Explosive Bears. They were exceptionally strong.
Team battles were usually held within the arena. Seeing that their opponents were a new team, they let their guard down. Only three of the opposing team were above level forty.
As captain, Han Bing would be directing a battle for the first time.
Teacher Gao Lan spoke to him from below the stage.
"Han Bing, unless it's absolutely necessary, just support the others as an auxiliary Soul Master. That'll give your teammates a chance to train."
Han Bing nodded.
Teacher Gao Lan was confident in his strength, which was why he'd said that.
The host in the team battle arena shouted,
"Let the match begin!"
And so the battle began.
Both sides revealed their Martial Souls.
The team battle arena was also buzzing with excitement. Seeing everyone reveal their Martial Souls at once was rousing.
Standing in the middle, Han Bing revealed his Martial Soul for the first time: his First Martial Soul, Candy. Then he immediately used his first two Soul Skills.
Speed Candy and Strength Candy. He created seven of each and handed them to his teammates.
The War Bear Battle Team saw that they all had the optimal Soul Ring Configuration.
And Han Bing, standing right in the middle, had a purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring as his Second Soul Ring.
His appearance alone stunned the audience below.
The host exclaimed in surprise,
"What? The Masked Battle Team's captain has a Soul Ring of over a thousand years as his Second Soul Ring! What kind of genius is this?"
The War Bear Battle Team didn't dare underestimate them now, and one after another, they revealed their Martial Souls.
Only two of them didn't have the optimal Soul Ring Configuration. Everyone else did.
The Masked Battle Team had the advantage in their configurations.
The War Bear captain roared,
"Brothers, don't underestimate them! Take them out in one fell swoop!"
Several people were watching the match.
They were Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others. Dai Mubai still hadn't woken up.
"A thousand-year Soul Ring as his Second Martial Soul? How is that possible?"
Yu Xiaogang said, on the verge of breaking down.
Tang San was even more astonished. He watched closely. This person's Soul Power really was different, as if he'd practiced some kind of cultivation technique.
Just like Tang San, though his own Mysterious Heaven Skill wasn't this domineering.
He kept watching, his hands clenched tight.
The battle erupted in an instant, both sides charging forward.
Most of the opposing team had Power Attack System Martial Souls. Han Bing stayed behind them, supporting his teammates as they fought.
The others grappled with their opponents. Hu Liena didn't use her charm, but even so,
after years of fighting monsters like Han Bing, their own strength had far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Sure enough, it took only a few exchanges for the War Bear Battle Team to be defeated.
They were utterly helpless.
The host saw this and shouted, "The Masked Battle Team wins!"
The audience cheered.
It was an utterly crushing victory.
Even Tang San, who had specifically come to watch from the stands, hadn't seen Han Bing make a move.
"Teacher, let's go. The gap in strength is too great. Everyone on the Masked Battle Team seems to be far stronger than ordinary people. I guess they used some kind of special training method."
Yu Xiaogang had no answer.
That was only natural. After training with Han Bing for so long, it was hard not to get stronger.
And so, they won every match that day, making a good start.
The following days went the same way.
Han Bing continued winning without using his Martial Soul.
Tang San paid close attention to his battles, and was almost certain that this Ice Heart Candy had also practiced some kind of special cultivation technique.
He clenched his fist. He'd have to test him in a match when he got the chance.
Three days later, Dai Mubai had recovered. When he thought of that day's battle, he felt as though he'd been fighting a Soul Master far stronger than himself.
It had been just like fighting Teacher Zhao, Zhao Wuji.
"Boss Dai, don't worry. I'll avenge you!"
Tang San said to Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai nodded. "I know how strong you are, Xiao San, but be careful."
And so, another three days passed. Han Bing cultivated during the day and fought at night.
He knew, of course, that Tang San had been observing him in secret. His Observation Haki had reached the intermediate level, so he could sense everything around him, including anyone watching him from far away.
"Tang San, you want to try my fists too?"
Sure enough, the two finally crossed paths that day.
Both of them were fairly famous in the Soul Fighting Arena, since they were both undefeated.
Arena Nineteen was packed and roaring with excitement.
The next match had drawn quite a crowd.
The host shouted out the details of the fight,
"Up next is going to be an intense match! One fighter has won six matches in a row, the other nine. One is the Ice Heart Candy who fights without using his Martial Soul, and the other is the Thousand Hand Asura. Their matches have all been one-sided affairs. Today, the draw has pitted them against each other. Who will win, and who will lose? Let's wait and see!"
