"It's over."
Dugu Yan spoke slowly, without even turning back to look at Tang San who had fainted on the stage. She gave Qin Ming a look, Qin Ming nodded slightly. Then Dugu Yan returned to the Education Commission office.
" The Xiao San!"
The Shrek students below the arena were astonished that Tang San had been defeated so easily by Dugu Yan. Hadn't Tang San dodged Dugu Yan's attack just now? How come he was still unconscious?
The crowd rushed onto the arena and saw that Tang San's face was black and his hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably. They instantly realized that Tang San had been poisoned.
" Oscar, quick, detoxify Tang San!" Flender said to a very handsome boy with white hair and peach blossom eyes behind him.
"Second Soul Skill: I Have a Little Sausage."
The boy placed his hands flat in front of him, and an extremely thin sausage appeared in his hands. He then handed it to Flender, Fulade immediately stuffed Oscar's Little Sausage into Tang San's mouth to help him detoxify.
Seeing Flender's anxiety, Qin Ming stepped forward and said, "Dean Flender, Dugu Yan Yan's poison will disappear on its own soon, so you don't need to worry so much."
"Really? That's good, that's good."
Upon hearing that Tang San was unharmed, Flender and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They truly hadn't expected Tang San to be defeated so easily by Dugu Yan. Before this, although Yu Tianheng had told everyone that Dugu Yan's strength had reached a very high level, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were full of confidence, believing that even a Soul King would have weaknesses, and that they could defeat them by exploiting those weaknesses. However, they never expected to be so easily crushed by Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Five Poisons.
After the Soul Fighting, Tang San even specifically researched how to counter the Jade Phosphor Five Poisons, hoping to avenge his defeat when he faced Dugu Yan again. However, he never expected to be crushed by Dugu Yan again today, which caused a subtle change in the mentality of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
" Qin Ming, I just saw that Dugu Yan's Fourth Soul Ring is black. How is that possible? And how does he know the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's exclusive Soul Skill, ' Dragon Transformation '?"
Yu Xiaogang asked two questions in a row, his brows furrowed, and with his black buzz cut, he looked like a gourd.
"Didn't Tian Heng tell you? Because of the Martial Soul Evolution, Dugu Yan's talent has undergone a qualitative leap. Now her Martial Soul is a true dragon-type Martial Soul, and she can undergo ' Dragon Transformation '. Not only that, the Martial Soul Evolution also allowed her to absorb a ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring when choosing her Fourth Soul Ring."
Qin Ming glanced at Yu Tianheng curiously and replied.
"I already told the Grandmaster back then, but the Grandmaster said it was impossible for someone's Fourth Soul Ring to absorb ten thousand years..." Yu Tianheng, standing behind the crowd, replied.
"I have conducted extensive research and investigations. Countless people across the Douluo Continent have tried to absorb their Fourth Soul Ring for ten thousand years, but without exception, they all exploded and died."
Yu Xiaogang clearly remembered that in the Spirit Hall's library, there was a book called " Soul Master Taboos," which contained extremely clear information.
"But there are always exceptions. Your theory might be wrong," Qin Ming said with a smile. After all, Dugu Yan was his student, and he naturally had to defend her.
"Impossible! My theory can't be wrong! Dugu Yan must have used some special method to disguise her Fourth Soul Ring as black! It's impossible for someone to absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring while only having her Fourth Soul Ring!"
Yu Xiaogang directly refuted Qin Ming's words. In his opinion, the Martial Soul Evolution might indeed bring about an improvement in talent, but it was far from enough to allow one to absorb Soul Ring across ranks. Therefore, he guessed that Prince Xue Xing deliberately had Dugu Yan pretend to be a liar in order to undermine their confidence and make the Shrek Academy students think that their talents were really bad and inferior to those of the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. This was a conspiracy that had been planned long ago.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's stubbornness, Qin Ming's expression darkened. He naturally knew Yu Xiaogang's identity and background, and understood that he had a deeper understanding of Martial Soul. However, weren't these words blatantly belittling Qin Ming student? This made him feel displeased. He knew that Yu Xiaogang was his teacher Flender's good friend of decades, and therefore he had given him the respect due to his low Soul Power Level, without discriminating against him. But he hadn't expected that Yu Xiaogang would turn around and spread rumors about his disciple. Even Mingdu, who was usually quite mild-mannered, felt somewhat uncomfortable.
However, he didn't voice his dissatisfaction. Instead, he turned to Flender and said, "Dean Flender, Teacher Zhao, it's a pity I couldn't help our academy this time. I'm truly sorry."
Qin Ming held Flender and Zhao Wuji in high esteem; these two teachers were his mentors and true benefactors.
"It's alright, Qin Ming. This isn't your fault. The main reason is that we accidentally triggered the Xue Beng, which led to this whole series of events. As a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, you've been caught in the middle, which has been tough on you," Flender sighed and said to Qin Ming.
"Yes, Qin Ming, we know you've worked very hard. The fact that you can teach at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy already makes us old folks very proud. Keep up the good work and strive to become a qualified and excellent teacher," Zhao Wuji said, patting Qin Ming on the shoulder with satisfaction.
"Sigh, but where will you go after you leave the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Qin Ming asked with some concern.
"This little thing, how could it possibly stump your teacher? Heaven Dou City is so big, finding an academy to join is quite easy, so you don't need to worry about that. Although the environment here is nice, the teaching atmosphere isn't quite suitable for us. Oscar, carry Tang San on your back, let's go." Flender said, feigning ease.
After saying that, Oscar carried Tang San on his back, and the group headed out of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Teacher, let me see you off." Qin Ming followed as well, seeing off the Shrek Academy students.
Meanwhile, in the Education Commission office, the people saw Dugu Yan return unharmed and knew that the Soul Fighting had ended, and it must have ended in an extremely crushing way.
"It seems they didn't pass this test. In terms of talent, Miss Dugu is still superior," Prince Xue Xing said with a smile. He then slowly stood up and said to the three education committee members, "Gentlemen, given the severity of Xue Beng Beng's injuries, I will take him for treatment first."
"I'll stay here for now. I'm going to have a good talk with Yanyan," Dugu Bo said.
After listening, Prince Xue Xing nodded slightly and left the Education Committee office with Xue Beng...
