A Genius Beyond Great Buddha Tang?

"First match of the Class Promotion Tournament: Class Five of Year One versus Class Four of Year One!"

"Class Five wins!"

"Second match of the Class Promotion Tournament: Class Five of Year One versus Class Three of Year One!"

"Class Five wins!"

"Third match of the Class Promotion Tournament: Class Five of Year One versus Class Two of Year One!"

"Class Five wins..."

"Sure enough, the earlier classes really weren't much of a challenge for us."

Six days later, Tang Wulin and the others silently stepped down from the competition platform, unable to help thinking the same thing.

The strongest students in the earlier classes had only been level-nineteen Soul Masters. There had not been a single Grand Soul Master among them, so Tang Wulin had never needed to make a move. Even Gu Yue had only acted a handful of times.

After all, Xie Xie was enough to handle battles like these.

With his current level-nineteen strength, supplemented slightly by one of Gu Yue's elemental controls, he was already at the limit for this tier.

"Tomorrow, we'll be facing Class One."

"From what I've learned, their class is fairly strong. At the very least, they have Grand Soul Masters."

Gu Yue walked beside Tang Wulin and spoke.

"They have Grand Soul Masters?"

"Then the other two should be at least level eighteen or nineteen. That finally gives us a little difficulty."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie immediately grew eager to try and said so.

They had fought for three days, and every opponent had been weaker than him. There had not even been a single Grand Soul Master. What was interesting about that?

Fighting people stronger than himself was more fun. As for whether he might lose... pfft, it was normal if Brother Lin and Sister Gu Yue could not win, but if he could not even beat others, that would be far too lame.

"Don't be careless. According to what I learned, none of the three students participating from Class One are below level twenty-one. They are all Grand Soul Masters with a second Soul Ring and Soul Skill."

"Their strength cannot be underestimated."

Tang Wulin looked at the two before him and spoke honestly.

"Brother Lin is right."

Xie Xie froze at those words. After thinking for a moment, he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

He had not specifically looked into Class One's information before. Who would have thought that all three of them were Grand Soul Masters? That was indeed rather troublesome.

"But it doesn't really matter."

"Against us, they can only become Class Two."

Tang Wulin chuckled, confidence written across his face as he looked toward Gu Yue.

"I think we'll be fine."

Gu Yue met his gaze and smiled.

"Same here."

Xie Xie said the same, though he felt that whether he spoke or not would not make much difference. An indescribable feeling welled up inside him.

"Make us Class Two? You sure talk big. Hehehe, three little trash fish from Class Five actually dare to act arrogant in front of me."

"Aren't you afraid your tongue will get twisted from bragging?"

At that moment, a disdainful voice rang out. In the distance, a group of boys passed by, and the one who had spoken was the man leading them.

He was a youth with a center-parted hairstyle, though he was not wearing suspenders. His looks were fairly decent, but his lips were rather thin. Combined with his sharp words, he was even less likable.

"You're from Class One?"

"After tomorrow, you'll be Class Two."

Xie Xie looked coldly at the boy before him and said.

He was naturally very gentle toward his own people, but someone like this clearly did not fall into that category.

"Fine! I'd like to see what ability you little trash fish have to turn us into Class Two."

The sarcastic boy laughed upon hearing Xie Xie's words.

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The next moment, his body abruptly grew taller, seeming to become incredibly flexible as well. Two yellow rings of light rose beneath his feet at the same time.

Furthermore, bluish-green scales emerged around his neck, and his eyes turned into vertical pupils. This was his Martial Soul, the Bili Snake.

"Wei Xiaofeng, level-twenty-two Control Department Grand Soul Master, Class One of Year One."

He looked at the group before him with a grin and spoke with great confidence.

It had to be said that his talent was indeed quite good, giving him the right to be proud.

At the age of nine, while attending an intermediate academy, reaching this level was already something ordinary geniuses could not achieve. In other words, even Great Buddha Tang himself did not seem to have managed it.

"Could it be that someone..."

"Isn't even a Grand Soul Master? What do you think, little trash fish?"

Wei Xiaofeng looked toward Xie Xie, his eyes carrying a hint of mockery as he spoke sarcastically again.

"You..."

Xie Xie immediately gritted his teeth. Aside from being suppressed by the other party's superior strength, he was clearly furious.

He had long sensed that level twenty was within reach. If not for the fact that there was not enough time to break through before the day-after-tomorrow's match, he would definitely have slapped the other party hard across the face!

Wasn't he just a Grand Soul Master? Brother Lin had been one ages ago. What was there to show off about?

[Check-in target: Wei Xiaofeng]

[Congratulations, host. Reward obtained: Poison Attribute Control]

[Poison Attribute Control: with every realm increase, poison attribute abilities will also improve along with strength]

"Hm?"

"It actually dropped a reward."

Just as Tang Wulin was about to show the other party why flowers were so red, he suddenly froze. Hearing the voice resounding in his mind, he could not help saying.

Wei Xiaofeng was a character who had appeared only briefly in the original story, and was even far less significant than Ouyang Zixin, yet checking in with him had produced a reward.

Especially Poison Attribute Control, a reward that sounded incredibly satisfying just from the name alone.

"Perhaps it's because this kid's talent is pretty good."

"After all, with this talent, he can even surpass Tang San."

Tang Wulin silently pondered.

Getting a decent reward for free was truly nice.

"Not bad strength."

"But withdraw your Martial Soul."

After storing away the check-in reward, Tang Wulin stepped slightly forward and quietly looked at Wei Xiaofeng before speaking.

"Who the hell do you think you—"

Wei Xiaofeng was obviously unconvinced and had just wanted to retort, but in the next instant, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from Tang Wulin's body.

To him, that aura was like the difference between heaven and earth. Although he could sense that Tang Wulin was also a Grand Soul Master, the suppression from their Martial Souls made him completely unable to lift his head.

It was difficult for him even to remain standing.

"Fuck!"

"What kind of monster is this..."

As Wei Xiaofeng trembled, he could not help thinking.

He had the feeling that he had provoked someone he never should have provoked.

"Wu Lin, you're bullying a Bili Snake."

"That's a little too much, isn't it?"

Gu Yue looked at Tang Wulin with a smile. Though there was a trace of reproach in her tone, her smile only grew brighter.

Clearly, she thought this was quite good.

"Go back. Don't be so confident next time."

"A snake Martial Soul has far too many possibilities of being suppressed."

Tang Wulin withdrew his Martial Soul and calmly addressed Wei Xiaofeng, who did not seem to like keeping a low profile.

Now was not the time to beat him up. Of course, with Wei Xiaofeng's condition, one hit from him might cripple the guy...

"This young man."

"He would actually be quite suited for Shrek Academy from twenty thousand years ago."

"After all, those who dare not make trouble... are mediocrities."
