Chapter Fifty-One: Competition
。Like this time, if Blood Nine hadn't risked his life burning his own life flame back then, and the Blood God Legion hadn't reacted fast enough, that sneak attack would have been enough to cause a hug..."Bang!"
Zhou Changxi stumbled backward, his legs unsteady. Finally, he couldn't keep his balance and collapsed onto the ground with a thump.
While Tang Wulin only swayed his upper body. The difference was immediately apparent.
How could this be Zhou Changxi was utterly bewildered. If he had been caught off guard before, what about now Now, he had clearly released his martial soul, even using his soul skill power amplification, but Tang Wulin's strength was simply overwhelming, crushing him with an unstoppable force that left him falling to the ground.
"Stop!" Wu Changkong roared, pointing at Zhou Zhangxi. "You, you are out."
A power-type Soul Master, if they lose in terms of strength, shouldn't continue fighting.
"Why don't you use your Martial Soul" Wu Changkong looked at Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin said, "He wants to compete in strength with me."
Wu Changkong's eyes were cold, "Does he make you eat ** You eat it Treat every battle like you're on a battlefield. Defeating your opponent is your only goal. Even when a lion fights a rabbit, it must give its all. Don't give your opponent even a shred of an opportunity. Promotion, then the next match."
Losing means being eliminated, winning means being criticized. The students' psychological pressure instantly increased.
"Next round."
The second pair to appear was Yun and Xie Xie, standing right next to Tang Wulin and Zhou Changxi.
Yun Ku bitterly grimaced and addressed Xie Xian, "Show mercy! I'm a support-type Soul Master. I can't fight back."
Xie Xiedao: "May you have good fortune."
"Let's begin!"
With a shout, Wu Chang gave the order and Xie Xian instantly darted forward. A yellow halo ignited beneath his feet almost as soon as he moved, his speed was incredibly fast. The Guanglong Dagger flashed with a sharp golden light, reaching Yun's side in an instant.
But just then, a strange sight appeared. A white light flashed on the clouds, and most of the students only felt a blur before their eyes. Xie Xi's sure-fire strike landed in empty air.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie had fought twice before, and even agreed to fight again. Tang Wulin watched this battle very attentively. He discovered that the moment Xie Xie charged towards Yun's front, something on Yun's hand lit up with light, and then their positions switched. Xie Xie's attack naturally missed.
But Xie Xian's reaction was extremely fast. As he realized the opponent in front of him had vanished, his Guanglong Dagger swung backward in a blur. His arm contorted into an impossible reverse-joint state, casting streaks of light and shadow to protect his back.
The cloud beast had only just used one soul skill before being enveloped by the Light Dragon Dagger once again. His soul skill was unable to be used consecutively.
As he was about to be struck by the Hyōryū Dagger, a large hand appeared, pulling him aside.
"Stop!"
Xie Xian turned around, holding the Guanglong Dagger in front of his chest. His movements were swift but not panicked, and a murderous look filled his handsome face. His dashing appearance made every female student in the class stare at him with admiration.
“Not bad, you leveled up.” Wu Changkong nodded to Xie Xie, then turned to Yun. “You chose a good time to activate your soul skill, but you still underestimated your opponent’s strength. After activating your soul skill, you should quickly create distance. As a support soul master, since you are restrained by agile attack soul masters, you need to find ways to enhance your survivability as much as possible.”
"Yes, thank you, teacher." Yun held a disc in his hand, with many complex patterns faintly visible on its surface. He had heard what Wu Changkong said, but what he was thinking about at this moment was how Tang Wulin could possibly make someone as powerful as Xie Xie look so humiliated
It turned out that the teachers at Tohoku Academy were still quite discerning when it came to class divisions. In the following matches, almost every match was met with a scathing rebuke from Wu Changkong.
All twenty students, eight were Soul Masters, they didn't possess any combat abilities, and their auxiliary abilities were very weak. Among the Soul Masters, three had Wuhun that were at the level of Blue Silver Grass.
Even in the competition, there were some bizarre situations, such as two Soul Mages with no combat ability bumping into each other, pushing and shoving like children.
Although Wu Changkong had long guessed that the overall quality of the students in Class Five would be poor, he didn't expect it to be this bad. If it weren't for compulsory education, many of these students wouldn't really make sense to continue cultivating, and they might not even reach level twenty.
As things stand, Xie Xian is the only one who truly shines among these students.
"The second round begins, you, you, the two of you fight." The dance master's face was gloomy as he pointed his finger at Tang Wulin and a female student.
She was a very cute and lovely girl, with short sky-blue hair and big eyes. When he saw her, Tang Wulin couldn't help but think of Na'er. He vaguely remembered that this classmate's name was Li Chushui, and her martial soul was a cat.
"Let's go!"
Li Chushui looked a little shy, nodding to Tang Wulin before releasing his own spirit.
The short, azure hair turned partially white. One of her originally blue eyes transformed into green. A circle of white soul rings rose beneath her feet, and a cute white cat appeared on her shoulder.
Two white hairs sprouted on both palms, and sharp claws sprang out from the fingertips. Its upper body slightly lowered, agilely pouncing towards Tang Wulin's direction.
She was extremely nimble and fast. Her speed had won her the last match. Like Xie Xie, she was also a Blazing Speed Soul Master.
After being criticized by the previous Dance Master, Tang Wulin this time also released his spirit immediately. Roots of blue silver grass emerged from his palm, and the golden light of Grass Snake once again surrounded his wrist.

With these continuous applications, he became very familiar with the soul-binding technique. The blue silver grass in thin, vine-like strands, instead of being launched at his opponent, intertwined before him, forming an irregular large net that stood just a short distance in front of him.

If Li Chu shui continues to charge forward, he will crash into this net.
She seemed a little timid, her forward momentum suddenly halting. Her limbs landed simultaneously without a sound, and her body leaped sideways, as if trying to flank Tang Wulin from the side.
Tang Wulin had tasted the bitter fruit of being close to Xie Xie. He was very clear that when a soul master with this kind of agile and attacking fighting spirit got close, his speed wouldn't be able to withstand the opponent's attacks. Therefore, he hurriedly turned around, mobilized his Blue Silver Grass, and continued to maintain the state from before, waiting for the other party to crash into the net.
Li Chushui constantly changed positions, trying to find a weakness, while Tang Wulin stared at her intently, waiting patiently. He believed that since they were both releasing their martial souls, the opponent's constant high-speed movement meant she was consuming more energy than him by simply waiting.
When you don't have enough control over Bluegill, a passive approach is the best choice.
While constantly changing positions, Tang Wulin also continuously adjusted his Blue Silver Grass net, making it more and more orderly, completely filling any possible loopholes.
Those strands of Blue Silver Grass shimmered with a crystal-like glow. Tang Wulin, by chance, discovered that at the root of the Blue Silver Grass in his palm, there were golden threads faintly visible.ttention. 。At this moment, seeing the two of them, Wuchangkong and Long Yueluo, with his own eyes, he was completely stunned. 。"Dragon Lao, Teacher Wu!" Yue Zhengyu was even worse than Tang Wulin when...
