(Second update)
Tang Hao's method of sealing Tang San's Soul Power made Yang Ming's eyes light up.
Tang Hao had just struck Tang San's shoulders and chest, similar to the acupoint-sealing techniques of martial arts novels, sealing the Zhongfu Points at his shoulders and the Danzhong Point in his chest.
Such a simple technique could confine all of a person's Soul Power within the dantian, rendering them unable to use it. It had much the same effect as Caesar's Martial Soul ability.
Compared to each other, both had their own advantages and disadvantages.
Tang Hao's advanced application of Soul Power had the advantage that every Advanced Spirit Master could learn it, but its practical combat value was mediocre. When experts of the same level exchanged moves, the opponent would never give you the chance to get close. And when both sides were already that close, life and death would often be decided in an instant—who would have the leisure to control their opponent like this?
Even with so many flaws, it opened up many new avenues of thought for Yang Ming. He gained a deeper understanding of Soul Power usage. These were precious lessons no one had taught him at Shrek Academy.
It was not that Dean Flender and the others had withheld anything; perhaps even they themselves did not know such methods of application existed!
For Yang Ming, the benefits were simply too great.

If Yang Ming could combine this line of thought from Gentle Fist, advanced Soul Power application, and an elite body technique like the Eight
