Challenging Qin Ming
This Soul Fighting was originally intended to assess the training results of Team One and Team Two, and also to see the gap between the two teams. However, no one expected that the battle would end so quickly after Lu Yang made his move.
After the referee announced the result, Qin Ming, the team leader, immediately rushed onto the stage. He looked at Yu Tianheng and the others, who were seriously injured, his breathing gradually becoming heavier, and his eyes gradually turning bloodshot.
"Why did you hit them so hard! They're all your classmates!" Qin Ming shouted just before Lu Yang stepped off the stage.
His shout also stopped Ye Lingling, who was about to treat Yu Tianheng and the others.
"I've said it before, if you're afraid of getting hurt, don't become a Soul Master, don't go to the arena. Or are you saying that only your team is allowed to target my teammates, and we're not allowed to retaliate?" Lu Yang replied impatiently.
"Stop right there! What kind of attitude is this!" Qin Ming was still relentless. He had been blinded by the result of this Soul Fighting and seemed determined not to give up until Lu Yang gave him a reasonable explanation.
"Qin Ming, stop with your attitude. Who do you think you are? A team leader who only knows how to make students run laps around the track. Do you really think you're talented?" Lu Yang turned to Qin Ming and retorted directly.
Hearing Lu Yang's sarcasm, Qin Ming's temples throbbed with anger. "You... you... you're simply unreasonable! That's how my teacher trained me! And I'm now Soul Emperor!" In Qin Ming's heart, Shrek Academy was the spiritual sanctuary he valued most. Lu Yang's words not only made him lose face but also tarnished that sanctuary in his heart.
"No wonder you can't even achieve the best Soul Ring ratio recognized by the Soul Master World. A teacher who only makes you run is truly unheard of." Lu Yang sneered.
Hearing Lu Yang's words, Qin Ming's entire face turned red, resembling a pig's liver, looking quite comical. But Qin Ming had no room for rebuttal. Because his Soul Ring were truly not the optimal Soul Ring. Although he was only missing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, in general understanding, this could indeed potentially affect his future achievements.
"Don't try to change the subject! I'm asking why you attacked your classmate so severely!" Qin Ming shouted angrily, bringing the topic back to where it started.
"Since you always think I'm too heavy-handed, why don't you try it with me yourself and see if I've really hit your useless students hard enough, how about it?" Lu Yang didn't hold back with Qin Ming and directly challenged him.
Although Qin Ming is Soul Emperor, his Martial Soul is not top-tier, and his Soul Ring configuration is not optimal. Therefore, his actual combat strength is uncertain.
Lu Yang had never really liked Qin Ming, not just because he disliked his teaching methods, but also for other reasons. However, adhering to the principle of "I won't offend you unless you offend me," he never took Qin Ming seriously.
But Qin Ming had publicly criticized him during the last academy assessment. Now, during this Soul Fighting between the two teams, he had jumped out again. If he continued to tolerate this and let Qin Ming run rampant in front of him, Lu Yang felt that the meaning of his cultivation might be lost.
Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, Qin Ming repeatedly said "good".
"Blazing Fire Wolf Possession!"
"Stop! What are you trying to do!" Just as Qin Ming was about to make a move, Meng Shenji, who was below the stage, suddenly stopped him.
Qin Ming glanced at Meng Shenji, opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Lu Yang, on the other hand, looked at the furious Meng Shenji and calmly said, "What? When he was barking at me, didn't you see Commissioner Meng step in to stop him? Now that we're about to take action, you jump out?"
"This..." Meng Shenji was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
He never expected that Lu Yang and Qin Ming would actually have such a falling out. They even seemed ready to fight.
It's true that Qin Ming is someone these education committee members have their eye on, but Lu Yang was personally sent by the Crown Prince. If anything were to happen to him, they couldn't afford the consequences.
However, Lu Yang didn't intend to wait for Meng Shenji to express his opinion. He said calmly, "Since you've chosen to let him be, then don't try to stop things before they get out of control."
After saying that, Lu Yang stepped back onto the arena. With each step he took, golden armor covered part of his body. When he stopped, the golden wings on his back unfolded, indicating that he had entered the state of Martial Soul Possession.
"Teacher Qin Ming, are you ready? Don't make excuses again later, that would be embarrassing," Lu Yang said.
"Today, I'll teach you a lesson!" With that, Qin Ming once again entered the Martial Soul Possession state.
Six Soul Ring— yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple, and black—converged beneath his feet, and the Soul Emperor's Soul Power pressure spread out.
At the same time, Lu Yang's Soul Ring also appeared, and his Soul Ring were even more impressive than Qin Ming's.
"Three purple and one black!? What kind of Soul Ring Configuration is this?!" Among those present, apart from the three education committee members Meng Shenji, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, no one else had ever seen Lu Yang release his Soul Ring. Even during the battle just now, when Lu Yang used his Soul Skill, the Soul Ring only flashed by. Now, seeing this astonishing Soul Ring configuration, they were truly shocked and didn't know how to express it.
Seeing Lu Yang's Soul Ring configuration, Qin Ming's heart skipped a beat. The total age of those Soul Ring was probably not much less than the total age of his own Soul Ring.
However, Qin Ming believed that Lu Yang was no match for him. He was Monster who graduated from the Shrek Academy, and he would never lose to Lu Yang.
"First Soul Skill, Sunflame Dawn!"
"Third Soul Skill, Wings of the Sun!"
Facing Qin Ming, Lu Yang naturally wouldn't treat him the way he did against Yu Tianheng and the others. He immediately activated two amplification Soul Skill, launching an attack at his strongest.
"Second Soul Skill, Blazing Sun Shakes the Earth!"
This time, Lu Yang's second Soul Skill did not directly condense a fireball to attack as before. Instead, he enveloped himself with the second Soul Skill, then leaped up and punched down towards where Qin Ming was.
"Second Soul Skill, Lie Yan Wolf!"
"First Soul Skill, Azure Wolf Claws!"
Qin Ming was no slouch either. He considered himself Soul Emperor, far surpassing Lu Yang in strength. After directly amplifying the effect of his second Soul Skill, he swung his claw and clashed head-on with Lu Yang.
But the moment their fists and claws collided, a tremendous force surged into Qin Ming's arm. Immediately afterward, his body was thrown off balance by the force, and he was knocked to the ground by Lu Yang's punch.
The moment the fiery fist slammed into the ground, a terrifying explosion erupted. Qin Ming was closest to the blast. His body was thrown over by the explosion like a leaf, then blown even further by the blast wave, crashing directly to the ground.
Lu Yang himself was unharmed. He stood up and stepped out of the smoke and dust kicked up by the explosion. Looking at Qin Ming, who was also getting up, he curled his lip and said, "This is the Soul Emperor? I don't think he's that great."
