In just a few days, Tang Wulin had basically mastered the use of his new Martial Soul Clear Sky Hammer.
But he didn't dare use it in front of outsiders.
On the training field, he only released Blue Silver Grass.
But clearly, his Blue Silver Grass has undergone significant changes, and it would be more appropriate to call him the Blue Silver King now.
The blue-gold sheen on the edges of the grass blades is becoming more and more pronounced, and their resilience and control are also increasing.
The seven blades of grass can be controlled simultaneously, each capable of performing different actions: Entanglement, striking, binding, all clearly distinguishable.
Qing Linyun sat on the sidelines and watched for a while, feeling quite satisfied.
What really gave him a headache was Gu Yue.
Ever since that day, the scene of Asura.
The Lord Silver Dragon Fish has ignored him for two days.
Eastsea Academy, Training Ground No. 1. Three days after the Class Promotion Tournament.
Wu Changkong summoned all three of his main players.
Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue stood in a row.
Qing Linyun leaned against the railing at the edge of the field, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, looking on with amusement.
Wu Changkong crossed his arms, his gaze sweeping over the three people's faces, and spoke in a cold voice.
"As is customary in the Class Promotion Tournament, the first match will be against Class 4. Today is the last joint practice session. As usual, I will suppress my Soul Power to the first level, without using my Martial Soul or Soul Skill. The three of you will attack with all your might."
Xie Xie's face fell immediately upon hearing this, and he wore a bitter expression.
" Teacher Wu, last time the three of us ganged up on you, and we didn't even manage to touch the hem of your clothes."
Wu Changkong glanced at him and said succinctly.
"That's because you're useless. Your opponents in the Class Promotion Tournament won't go easy on you. Either you get beaten by me now, or you get beaten by Class 4 in three days. The choice is yours."
Xie Xie shrank back, swallowing the rest of his sentence.
Wu Changkong took two steps back, stood in the center of the training field, and raised his hand.
"Release your Martial Soul."
Tang Wulin took a deep breath and raised his right hand.
Blue-purple grass blades emerged from his palm, unfurling in the air, their edges faintly glowing with a blue-gold light. Then, two yellow, Hundred-Year Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet, one above the other, floating slowly.
Wu Changkong's gaze lingered on the two yellow rings for a moment.
Xie Xie flipped his right hand, and a golden dagger fell into his palm. The blade gleamed with a faint dragon aura, and a Yellow Soul Ring lit up from beneath his feet.
According to the rules, the Shadow Dragon Dagger cannot be used simultaneously; it must remain hidden deep within the Martial Soul.
Gu Yue was the last to move.
She opened her palm, and an Elemental Stone shimmering with iridescent light floated above it, with red, blue, yellow, and cyan specks of Elemental Stone slowly rotating around it.
Two Yellow Soul Ring rose simultaneously, causing the surrounding air to slightly distort.
Tang Wulin has two rings, Xie Xie one ring, and Gu Yue has two rings.
Wu Changkong glanced at the three people and began to arrange their positions, his voice calm.
" Tang Wulin in the front row, Xie Xie on the flanks, Gu Yue in the back row. Those whose coordination isn't good enough, practice extra tonight. Begin."
As soon as the last word was uttered, Tang Wulin was the first to rush out.
The first Yellow Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up.
" First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Entanglement!"
A dozen or so Blue Silver Grass, like whips that had come to life, shot out rapidly along the ground, intertwining into a large net that went straight for Wu Changkong's legs.
Wu Changkong stood still until the grass net got tangled around his feet, then he slowly took a half step to the side, barely managing to avoid it.
Just as he turned to the side, a golden afterimage slashed in from his right.
Xie Xie waiting for this gap in time.
He pushed off with his feet, his whole body skimming the ground as he surged forward, raising the Light Dragon Dagger high in his hand, the Yellow Soul Ring flashing wildly.
" First Soul Skill, Light Dragon Slash!"
A golden blade of light cleaved from the dagger, drawing a half-foot-long arc, aiming straight for Wu Changkong's right rib.
Wu Changkong flicked his hand, his two fingers precisely clamping the very tip of the light blade.
With a muffled "bang," the force of the Light Dragon Slash was abruptly dissipated, shattering into a shower of golden specks.
Xie Xie's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his face filled with disbelief.
"Seriously? He caught that?"
Wu Changkong gave him a cold look.
What about the back row?
As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature on the other side of the training field suddenly dropped.
Gu Yue stood in the middle rear, his hands forming a seal in front of him. The second Yellow Soul Ring under his feet shone brightly, and the seven-colored light spots around the Elemental Stone were instantly ignited.
" Second Soul Skill, Elemental Tide!"
A crimson fireball and an icy blue ice spike materialized simultaneously, attacking Wu Changkong from the left and right. Then, with a flick of her finger, another earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking Wu Changkong's retreat route.
The three elements of ice, fire, and earth were applied almost simultaneously.
Wu Changkong finally moved.
He slipped and slid through the gap between the fireball and the ice spikes like a falling leaf, then slammed his palm against the earthen wall, causing half of the waist-high wall to collapse with a crash.
Wu Changkong voice.
" Tang Wulin, Second Soul Skill!"
Tang Wulin reacted quickly, and the second Yellow Soul Ring beneath his feet immediately flashed.
" Second Soul Skill, Blue Silver Parasite!"
From the previously entwined Blue Silver Grass, a few blades of grass silently burrowed into the ground beneath Wu Changkong's feet. The next second, tiny grass shoots broke through the soil around Wu Changkong's ankles and climbed up his trouser legs.
Wu Changkong glanced down, lightly tapped the ground with his toe, and a burst of icy Soul Power exploded, instantly turning the grass shoots that had climbed up into a layer of white frost and shattering into ice shards.
But in the half-second it took him to lower his head, Xie Xie's second wave of Light Dragon Slash had already arrived.
Close-range combat, long-range engagements, and crowd control—the three worked together more smoothly than Wu Changkong had anticipated.
Especially Tang Wulin.
Wu Changkong's brow twitched almost imperceptibly.
Wu Changkong knew Tang Wulin's previous situation. Blue Silver Grass, Trash Martial Soul, and his Soul Power was only level thirteen when he entered Class Five. His First Soul Ring was a ten-year white ring.
At that time, he couldn't even control the most basic Entanglement, and was easily killed by Gu Yue as soon as he used his Soul Skill.
It hasn't been that long.
Double yellow rings, level twenty-one, and there were things in the Blue Silver Grass that he couldn't understand.
That blue-gold luster was not something that ordinary Blue Silver Grass should have.
The resilience, growth rate, and transmission of Soul Power of the grass leaves far exceed the scope that Hundred-Year Soul Ring can explain.
What bothered him even more was the Blue Silver Parasite just now. The grass sprout precisely burrowed into the gap between his feet, the timing was even more tricky than the one who set the challenge.
A child with Trash Martial Soul, in less than two months, went from level 13 to level 21, and his control of the field Xie Xie, who was at the second ring.
Wu Changkong remained outwardly calm, but the scales in his heart were quietly tipped.
He couldn't see through the origin of Tang Wulin's bloodline, nor could he figure out how those two Hundred-Year Soul Ring came to be.
But one thing he was certain of was that this child's future path might really have been changed by Qing Linyun. Although he might still not be as good as a genius like Gu Yue, he would at least have a chance to enter Shrek Academy.
During the battle, Wu Changkong glanced at Qing Linyun, who was watching from the sidelines, and sighed inwardly.
Qing Linyun has really gone all out on this disciple.
Actually, to be precise, Wu Changkong is still Tang Wulin's senior uncle at this moment.
He didn't point it out; he simply suppressed those thoughts.
