"What?!" Tang San's expression changed drastically. His Blue Silver Grass was far more resilient than ordinary plants, yet it was so utterly vulnerable before the opponent's grass leaves? Was this really Blue Silver Grass?
Xiao Wu attempted to Teleportation into the back row, but Lin Yan's Second Soul Skill, " Scale-Leaf Light Rain," had already created a death zone at her possible landing point, forcing her to retreat in a sorry state.
Dai Mubai forced his way through, and in his White Tiger Vajra Transformation state, his strength was astonishing. However, Lin Yan's sword leaves always managed to interfere and cut at the crucial moments when he exerted his power. Although they could not break through his defense, they greatly slowed down his movements, making it difficult for him to effectively hit his target despite his strength.
The situation on the field was almost entirely one-sided.
Lin Yan's control completely suppressed Tang San's control! The tactical system that the Shrek Seven Devils were used to was shattered in the face of the Imperial Fighting Team's powerful and comprehensive strength and Lin Yan's extraordinary control.
Although Tang San's Hidden Weapon weapon techniques were exquisite, they were difficult to play a decisive role under the protection of the ubiquitous sharp sword leaves and the tight formation of the Imperial Fighting Team.
Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame was interfered with by the Yu Feng, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were tightly restricted by Osler and the Sword Leaf Domain, Dai Mubai was unable to hold on alone, and although Ning Rongrong's amplification was powerful, she could not reverse the defeat under the absolute disadvantage of control.
Ultimately, under the terrifying power of Lin Yan's Third Soul Skill, " Blue Silver Sword Leaf," the Shrek Seven Devils ' formation was completely shattered.
Yu Tianheng's Thunder Dragon Claw clashed with Dai Mubai's White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, gaining the upper hand. Osler seized the opportunity to rush forward, coordinating with Dugu Yan's poisonous mist, forcing the Shrek Seven Devils into a desperate situation.
"We concede!" Tang San shouted with difficulty, his face pale. Looking at the young man in the arena who was controlling the blue-gold grass leaves like a sword god descending to earth, he was filled with frustration and great doubt.
Imperial Fighting Team has won this ultimate showdown! The cheers belong to them.
After the match, the Shrek Seven Devils were in a somber mood.
Tang San found Lin Yan, who was in the rest area talking quietly with Ye Lingling, all by himself.
"Friend, please wait a moment." Tang San's voice was slightly hoarse.
Lin Yan turned around, looked at Tang San, and a faint, meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"Your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is very powerful. I also have the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. I wonder if we could exchange cultivation methods..." Tang San took a deep breath and spoke his mind.
The opponent's Blue Silver Grass was far superior to his in terms of form, characteristics, and power.
Although his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had changed and become very powerful under the guidance of his teacher Yu Xiaogang, it was still far inferior to Lin Yan's. In just one move, it was directly shattered by Lin Yan's Blue Silver Grass, something he never expected.
Lin Yan looked at Tang San, smiled slightly, and said in a tone tinged with nostalgia, " Tang San, it's been a long time. It's been several years since I left Nuoding Academy, don't you remember me?"
" Nuoding Academy?" Tang San was stunned. The blurry figure in his mind instantly overlapped with the person in front of him. He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, "You... you are... Lin Yan?! Lin Yan, the one with half a level of Innate Soul Power?!"
"It's me." Lin Yan nodded, admitting it readily.
At that moment, Tang San was struck dumb, as if by lightning. Lin Yan, the nobody at the Nuoding Academy with only half a level of Innate Soul Power and a standard useless Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, had actually become so powerful? His Soul Power Level was clearly far superior to his own, and his Martial Soul had undergone a complete transformation! How could this be?!
The overwhelming amount of information left Tang San's mind blank. He even forgot how he ended his conversation with Lin Yan and returned to the Shrek Academy's residence in a daze.
He told Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and the others about his encounter with Lin Yan and Lin Yan's identity.
"What?! He's Lin Yan from the Nuoding Academy? Half-level Innate Soul Power?" Upon hearing this news, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang abruptly stood up, his face filled with extreme shock and disbelief.
His painstakingly researched " Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul," particularly the theory that Innate Soul Power determines acquired achievements, now seemed like a joke! A Trash Martial Soul Master with only half-level Innate Soul Power had not only cultivated to the Soul Elder level in just a few years, but his Martial Soul also seemed to have undergone a positive mutation. This completely overturned his theory!
Immediately afterwards, another message arrived.
Yu Tianheng, as the captain of the Imperial Fighting Team, visited the teachers of the Shrek Academy according to etiquette, after all, the strength shown by the Shrek Seven Devils had earned them respect. During the conversation, Yu Xiaogang learned of Yu Tianheng's identity—his nephew, a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Upon combining the two pieces of information, Yu Xiaogang's mind instantly became active, and various calculations began to run at lightning speed.
First, there's Lin Yan's case.
This is undoubtedly a unique case, an existence that challenges the very foundation of his theory.
But on the other hand, if Lin Yan could be included in his observation and research scope, could he uncover the secrets of the Martial Soul Mutation and breakthrough of Blue Silver Grass or even a useless martial soul? This might refine or even elevate his theory! If possible, perhaps he could find the way to break through the level 30 limit from Lin Yan.
He couldn't break through level 30, which had become a mental block for Yu Xiaogang.
Lin Yan's value is immeasurable!
Secondly, there's the Heaven Dou Royal Academy behind Yu Tianheng and the Imperial Fighting Team. It's the premier academy supported by the empire, boasting the best Mimicry Cultivation Environment, the richest resources, and the most systematic teaching system.
In contrast, Shrek Academy is located in a remote area with scarce resources, Flender has already exhausted himself to maintain the academy. Staying here would certainly maintain independence, but it would also limit the development of the disciples, especially Tang San. Tang San's Twin Martial Souls will require him to hunt a large number of high-level Soul Beast in the future, which is almost impossible to accomplish without strong resources and support.
The pros and cons quickly became clear in Yu Xiaogang's mind.
He joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Heaven Dou Royal Academy, using its resources to train Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils, while also closely studying Lin Yan, this special case?
Although doing so meant abandoning Shrek Academy, which Flender had upheld for many years, and felt somewhat sorry for his old friend, for Tang San's future, for verifying and perfecting his own theories, and for... that little bit of personal gain, this decision had to be made.
In the darkness of night, Yu Xiaogang found Flender, his expression serious and somber.
" Flender, there's something I need to talk to you about..." Yu Xiaogang began his carefully prepared persuasion, explaining to Flender the potential dangers of Tang San's Twin Martial Souls and the Shrek Seven Devils ' need for better resources.
He portrayed joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy as the most advantageous option for everyone, especially the students.
Flender initially objected vehemently, but after Yu Xiaogang's calm and almost cruel analysis of reality, especially when he heard "for the sake of the children's future," he finally fell silent, his face filled with struggle and helplessness, and finally let out a long sigh.
