Welcome the Tidefang of Mine

"Since that's the case, you two children can have a match here in the reception hall."

Seeing that Su Ming had agreed, Yu Xingtuo immediately made the decision.

He did not give much thought to whether Su Ming could defeat Nan Qiuqiu. There was definitely no problem with that.

This child Ming should know his limits, right? The only thing troubling Yu Xingtuo was his fear that Su Ming might hit too hard.

After all, Nan Qiuqiu was someone else's child, and a little girl at that.

If Su Ming beat her too badly, it would be somewhat hard to save face.

At this moment, Nan Shuishui also urged her daughter. "Qiuqiu, you should go too. Don't keep them waiting too long."

And so, under her mother's urging,

Nan Qiuqiu reluctantly got down from her chair, walked to the center of the reception hall, and stood opposite Su Ming.

She could not help it. In Nan Qiuqiu's eyes, as someone on the verge of becoming a Grand Soul Master, bullying a child who had only just awakened his Martial Soul was simply too much.

"Nan Qiuqiu, level nineteen assault-type Soul Master, Martial Soul: Rouge Dragon." Once she was in position, Nan Qiuqiu introduced herself as well.

At the same time, she kindly reminded him, "Little brother Su Ming, if you feel like you can't take it anymore, surrender right away. Big sister will stop."

Su Ming's expression remained calm as he said flatly, "Su Ming, level sixteen assault-type Soul Master, Martial Soul: Kyogre."

Sixteen levels of soul power at his age?! Nan Shuishui's beautiful eyes widened, filled with deep shock.

Su Ming's introduction had thoroughly stunned her, the sect master of the Earth Dragon Sect.

Sixteen levels of soul power at his age was simply too outrageous, wasn't it?

Even someone born with full innate soul power should not be this absurd, right?

How long had it even been since he absorbed his soul ring?

Combined with the intelligence her sect had gathered, they had still underestimated just how monstrous Su Ming was.

"Level sixteen?!" Nan Qiuqiu, standing opposite Su Ming, was equally shocked.

Was this a joke?

He was only six years old, yet he already had sixteen levels of soul power.

When she herself was six, all she thought about was cultivating as quickly as possible, reaching level ten early, and absorbing a soul ring.

But after the shock passed, Nan Qiuqiu's gaze turned serious.

"Begin!"

At the same time, Yu Xingtuo announced loudly.

Nan Qiuqiu immediately began to merge with her Martial Soul.

A diamond-shaped pink crystal appeared in the center of her forehead along with the release of her Martial Soul.

Her height began to increase, while her figure became increasingly slender.

Dark red scales grew out along her fingertips.

With Nan Qiuqiu's one-ring strength, reaching this degree of Martial Soul possession was already her limit.

"Be careful, little brother Su Ming."

As she spoke, Nan Qiuqiu pointed toward Su Ming. The first soul ring circling her body rapidly lit up.

A pink ray shot toward Su Ming like lightning.

This was Nan Qiuqiu's first soul skill—Annihilation Light.

Brother Ming was being careless! Seeing Su Ming fail to react for so long, Yu Tianlong became extremely anxious.

How had Brother Ming made the same mistake he had, underestimating the power of the Annihilation Attribute?

In Yu Tianlong's view, even someone as powerful as Brother Ming, even if he used his Martial Soul, would have no advantage at all if he did not quickly deal with Nan Qiuqiu.

His water-attribute offensive soul skills could not gain even the slightest edge against her Annihilation Attribute.

After all, Nan Qiuqiu's attacks were both nasty and fast. They were impossible to guard against!

First Soul Skill—Tidefang!

Su Ming instantly completed his Martial Soul possession and used his first soul skill.

He was rather disappointed by Nan Qiuqiu's first soul skill.

It was true that, aside from the Annihilation Attribute, the Rouge Dragon excelled at long-range attacks.

But the current Nan Qiuqiu was still too weak. The Annihilation Light she fired was simply too slow.

Perhaps Soul Masters of the same strength would find it difficult to catch, such as Yu Tianlong.

But to Su Ming, it was still far too slow.

His fingertips slid rapidly through the air, forming more than a dozen curved water blades that shot toward the incoming Annihilation Light.

"It's over!" Yu Tianlong despaired at the sight.

Brother Ming had reacted, so why did he confront it head-on?

He should have told Brother Ming more about how terrifying the Annihilation Attribute was.

Even his lightning power could be melted away by the Annihilation Attribute, let alone water!

Too naive. Seeing this, Nan Qiuqiu had already foreseen the outcome of the battle.

How could ordinary water attribute power possibly block the Annihilation Attribute of her Rouge Dragon Martial Soul?

"Zzz... zzz... zzz..."

However, the instant the curved water blades touched the Annihilation Light, something bizarre happened.

The Annihilation Light, which possessed the Annihilation Attribute, not only failed to break down the water blades, but was instead permeated by them.

The pink ray was rapidly permeated by the water blades and merged into them.

"How is that possible?!" Nan Shuishui could no longer remain seated, her eyes full of disbelief.

What followed was intense lingering fear.

What was the foundation that had allowed the Earth Dragon Sect to exist until now and contend with the Heavenly Dragon Sect all this time?

It was their inherited Martial Soul, the Rouge Dragon.

The exceedingly rare Annihilation Attribute granted an enormous boost in power.

In the past, the Earth Dragon Sect had always used the Annihilation Attribute to decompose and dissolve others' attacks.

But what had Nan Shuishui just seen today?

A child's water-attribute soul skill had directly permeated the Annihilation Light of their Rouge Dragon!

If this isn't an isolated case, then my Earth Dragon Sect... Nan Shuishui's expression was terrible.

If it was Su Ming alone, that would still be manageable.

But if soul skills like this could be passed down, then saying that the Earth Dragon Sect had suffered a catastrophic blow would not be an exaggeration at all.

Damn it... Nan Shuishui looked at Su Ming, a flicker of killing intent flashing through her eyes.

But upon recalling his identity, she could only restrain herself.

All Nan Shuishui could do now was pray that Su Ming's soul skill was merely a special exception.

Bang!

After permeating the incoming Annihilation Light, the dozen or so invisible water blades merged into one, forming a fist that rapidly blasted toward Nan Qiuqiu.

After all, this was only a spar, not a fight to the death.

Therefore, Nan Qiuqiu was naturally only sent flying.

The fact that Tidefang's attack form had changed was an extremely simple matter.

It was not limited to curved water blades. Water possessed unparalleled malleability.

Even when attached to Su Ming's hand, it could become Tidefang for close-range combat.

It seems that the so-called Annihilation Attribute can't stop my permeation. Other attributes will fare even worse.

Water embraces all things, but it can also swallow all things.

And after gaining the viscous field created by the Tidal Marsh Crocodile's innate ability to manipulate permeation pressure differentials, it has become even more formidable!

Not only permeation, but also that viscosity capable of affecting speed...

Su Ming withdrew his Martial Soul, feeling extremely satisfied with the permeation mechanism attached to this soul skill.
