Chapter 169

This match ended, everyone present are all are unable to help but the excitement kept arising, each person whispering to each other, discussing the excitement of their battle.

It was also this battle that made the students of other academies come to realize the gap between themselves and Feng Xiao Tian or Tang San.

Based on the aftershocks of the battle that just broke out, it can be seen that, in a one-on-one fight, there is no doubt that their strength is the strongest.

Even when facing a powerful Soul Master of Soul Emperor level, the two standing on the match stage now can still have the power to fight one battle.

At this moment, the hearts of the teachers and students of other academies all rose a feeling of helplessness, because Tang San and Feng Xiao Tian's performance was too terrifying.

At this moment, both of them are holding back and not using their full strength, which means that in the upcoming promotion tournament, they can still participate, which undoubtedly gives other academies more pressure.

However, things always have unexpected events, and there is an academy that did not worry or feel discouraged like the other academies.

At this moment, the Seven Treasure Academy remained calm, Gu Xuan sat upright in the Seven Treasure team, blandly watching Feng Xiao Tian and Tang San on the stage, with a smile appearing in his heart.

Gu Xuan turned to look at Du Gu Yan beside him and said softly: 'How is it? Do you still want to continue hiding?'

Du Gu Yan gave Gu Xuan a glance, then said: 'Right now, all eyes are attracted to Tang San and Feng Xiao Tian, so why would I need to show off again?'

Having his jade hand pinched by Gu Xuan, Du Gu Yan let him play with it, while continuing to say: 'Although the rankings in the promotion tournament have some use, we don't need them, so let Zuo Yan and Ma Ba go up to train a bit.'

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong on Gu Xuan's right exclaimed indignantly: 'Hmph, it's a pity I'm a support-type Soul Master, otherwise I would also go up to show off!'

Upon hearing that, Gu Xuan gave Ning Rongrong a flick on the forehead and chuckled: 'You like to show off, but you're not afraid of being targeted by bad people!'

"Ah!" Ning Rongrong covered her forehead, looking resentfully at Gu Xuan, then giggled: 'It's not like you're protecting me! Stinky Gu Xuan, if you flick my forehead again from now on, I won't like you!'

Looking at Ning Rongrong's cute and lively appearance, Gu Xuan laughed helplessly, then looked at Ye Lingling and said: 'Lingling, later come with me to Shenfeng Academy and Shilaike Academy for a trip, to treat those two brats a bit, to gain some eye connection.'

Ye Lingling had no objection to Gu Xuan's words in her heart, she smiled and nodded: 'Okay duck.'

Du Gu Yan and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance, isn't this saying that these two will be alone together again? 'Hmph! I didn't expect that, you are actually like this, Lingling!'

Ye Lingling noticed the little movements of the two girls and smiled faintly; since the three of them have expressed their feelings, it has been like this every day when they have nothing to do, they 'hook hearts and compete', adding a bit of fun to life.

Gu Xuan smiled slightly at this, without expressing an attitude.

Besides the reactions of other academies, the Snow Night Emperor on the VIP seat now had his face blooming with joy; the fact that so many talents have emerged within the Tian Dou Empire's borders signifies what? It signifies that this emperor's face has glory, after all, after this they will have to go out of the empire and contend with young Soul Masters across the continent.

Ning Fengzhi also had a smile on his face at this moment, looking at so many outstanding Soul Masters emerging; for the predecessors of the Soul Master world, this is also what he wishes to see.

The only one with a grim expression is the Platinum Bishop Salas of the Spirit Hall; at this moment, Salas stares at Tang San on the field with a face as dark as water, not knowing what he is thinking inside.

After the referee announced the match results, the competition of the next day also ended completely; the various academies withdrew in order, carefully preparing for tomorrow's match.

In the subsequent matches, Seven Treasure Academy's performance was also outstanding; moreover, Seven Treasure Academy is the only all-Soul Ancestor team among the fifteen academy teams in the Tian Dou competition zone.

Although Seven Treasure Academy does not have a Soul King powerhouse like Feng Xiao Tian, nor a terrifying genius like Tang San, the Seven Treasure Academy team is basically the most balanced team in group battles.

Feng Xiao Tian and Tang San are indeed strong in one-on-one fights, but that is only when they are high-spirited in individual battles; in group battles, their respective teams may not necessarily be opponents of the Seven Treasure team.

However, it's also uncertain, because after each of them breaks through, it will be the promotion tournament, and they still haven't fought a group battle against the Seven Treasure team.

After that, each day the Seven Treasure team's group battles ended in victory.

As team captain Du Gu Yan and vice-captain Ning Rongrong did not attend, but the members thereof each performed outstandingly.

Although their limelight cannot compare to that of Tang San and Feng Xiao Tian, it is merely just below those two.

Ma Ba, eighteen years old, martial soul: Blazing Warhorse, forty-eighth level strong attack battle Soul Ancestor, combat style explosive and splendid, as a fire-attributed Soul Master, his fighting style is renowned for being fiery; even the Huo Wu Shuang of the Flaming Fire Academy has no chance against Ma Ba, and he gained great limelight in the promotion tournament.

Zhan Yu, eighteen years old, martial soul: Shield of Steadfast Defense, forty-seventh level defense battle Soul Ancestor, defense unmatched, plus forty-seventh level terrifying soul power, throughout the promotion tournament's one-on-one process, not a single person could break his defense, truly achieving defense that hard-resists attacks, and likewise had no defeats.

Yang Po Jun, eighteen years old, martial soul: Soul-breaking Spear, forty-seventh level strong attack battle Soul Ancestor, inheritor of the Po clan, a single Soul-breaking Spear kills without equal, having truly inherited the true teachings of the old man Yang Wu Di, his combat power surpasses that of the forty-eighth level Ma Ba and is not inferior.

Although Yang Po Jun keeps a low profile, his strength is nevertheless the strongest among all members of the current Seven Treasure team; if Du Gu Yan does not intervene, Yang Po Jun can single-handedly defeat others.

Even when facing Tang San or Feng Xiao Tian, the current forty-seventh level Yang Po Jun still has the strength to fight one battle; as for whether he can win, that remains unknown.

Li Li, fourteen years old, martial soul: Human Face Demon Spider, forty-third level control battle Soul Ancestor, taking the Human Face Demon Spider as her martial soul is enough to prove Li Li's talent and terrifying strength, moreover she is the strongest in one-on-one control.

Although Li Li's soul power is the lowest among everyone, her battle record is nonetheless not lacking; the title of 'killer' for the small soul beast Human Face Demon Spider is not undeserved.

Finally there is Zuo Yan, sixteen years old, forty-fifth level, martial soul: Phoenix Divine Wings; Zuo Yan not only has unmatched speed, his attack ability is also extraordinary; after seeing Feng Xiao Tian's Gale Magic Wolf thirty-six consecutive slashes, Zuo Yan also began to ponder similar attack abilities, and is researching creating his own soul skill, because he and Feng Xiao Tian are the same type of Soul Master.

Moreover, after chatting with Shui Bing'er, for some reason the senior sister of that academy seemed to have been attracted by Zuo Yan; when they weren't competing, they would run off to the side, not knowing what to say.

The facts prove that this kid Zuo Yan actually also knows how to make girls happy, able to capture a girl's heart; it's just that before he found the wrong target, having no place to display his talents.

Only those five people from the Seven Treasure team appeared in the matches, but those five all displayed the achievement of, aside from the seven-piercing single-handedly sweeping other academies' battle results, and standing firm with Feng Xiao Tian and Tang San on the first wave line.

However, because Tang San and Feng Xiao Tian's battle was too shocking, their limelight has remained steadily in first place in the promotion tournament.

Because after the previous battle ended, Gu Xuan took Ye Lingling to treat Tang San and Feng Xiao Tian respectively.

And also this time, they both were stunned as well, because Ye Lingling turned out to be a Soul King? They had always regarded Gu Xuan as a hypothetical enemy, but they didn't expect the Royal Battle Team to also hide a Soul King? Or a support-type Soul King? After personally experiencing the terror of Ye Lingling's healing ability, Tang San and Feng Xiao Tian couldn't help but feel somewhat complicated inside; the final is mainly a team competition, so if at that time the Royal Battle Team has this terrifying existence Ye Lingling, do they still have the ability to defeat the Royal Battle Team led by Gu Xuan?

With such a terrifying and pure healing-type Soul Master present, the Soul Masters on the field probably can't even wish to die, right?

I don't know whether Gu Xuan did this intentionally or not, but Gu Xuan has already conveyed this information; after this, Tang San and Feng Xiao Tian will only strive harder and fight desperately, otherwise what will they have to contend with in the final? Finally, the promotion tournament is soon approaching its end; it's worth mentioning that the last two battles of Seven Treasure Academy were just stuck at Shilaike Academy and Shenfeng Academy, leaving the final two days.

Seven Treasure Academy versus Shilaike Academy, the first to go out was Li Li; Tang San is now famous for the Haotian Hammer, even making others almost forget that he is actually a control-type Soul Master, and his martial soul also includes Blue Silver Grass.

Therefore, the purpose of Li Li's appearance in the first match was to compare control abilities with Tang San; although Tang San's first martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, his soul power has actually reached forty-ninth level, only one step away from fiftieth level, so even if he uses the Blue Silver Grass martial soul to fight Li Li, Tang San still has some confidence.

On the match stage, Li Li faced Tang San calmly and confidently, because Gu Xuan also gave her tactical guidance; although Tang San's soul power level is not low, his Blue Silver Grass now is merely ordinary Blue Silver Grass, although his bloodline is not ordinary, but it hasn't awakened yet, Li Li's advantage remains not small.

Moreover, losing isn't a big deal, after all Tang San is currently a hot figure in the promotion tournament; being able to have confidence to fight him one-on-one already surpasses most people.

"Promotion Tournament, thirteenth round, sixth match, Shilaike Academy team Tang San versus Seven Treasure Academy team Li Li, match start!"

On the match stage, Li Li and Tang San each released their martial souls; on their bodies were two yellow and two purple, four soul rings; Human Face Demon Spider versus Blue Silver Grass, the battle was about to erupt.

As a soul beast, the Human Face Demon Spider looks extremely ugly, but as Li Li's martial soul, when she manifests it, she does not have that ugly feeling; instead, it gives people a unique sense of beauty.

Eight spider legs two meters long extend from her back; after the martial soul embodies, it lifts Li Li's body off the ground, making her whole person appear vigorous and spirited.

This is not the external soul bone Eight Spider Spears, because the Eight Spider Spears are three meters long; this is merely the martial soul embodiment, namely the spider legs of Li Li's martial soul.

Although Li Li's soul power level is only forty-third, Tang San is not at all careless; relying on his forty-ninth level soul power, he has many times used this Blue Silver Grass martial soul to defeat many opponents, but he has never once defeated a genius Soul Master like Li Li using the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, so he also wants to try to defeat Li Li using only the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

"Match… start!"

As the referee's voice fell, Tang San reacted quickly; in an instant his first soul ring lit up, and countless Blue Silver Grass surged toward Li Li to surround her.

As a control-type Soul Master, as long as he can control and subdue Li Li, then he will not be able to grasp the initiative.

Facing Tang San's attack, Li Li didn't even use a soul skill; the eight two-meter-long Human Face Demon Spider legs on her back began to move, tearing apart each incoming Blue Silver Grass strand completely, not a single strand survived.

Seeing this, Tang San's expression remained unchanged; he had also been watching Li Li's earlier fight. It can be said that, from the viewpoint of a Control-type Soul Master, Li Li's control is absolutely the top among peers.

Besides control, Li Li's poison use and close-combat ability are also not weak; if Tang San and Li Li were of the same rank, even he would have no chance against Li Li.

However, Tang San was not discouraged, for besides his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, he also possesses the Tang Sect's secret technique!

All the torn Blue Silver Grass fell, its seeds attaching to Li Li's spider legs or body surface, after which Tang San's second soul skill was activated.

"Second Soul Skill: Parasite!"

As Tang San's second soul skill was unleashed, his forty-ninth-rank soul power burst forth, and countless Blue Silver Grass seeds instantly sprouted vigorous life, then grew infinitely and extended, in an instant wrapping Li Li's body, even the eight spider legs on her back were not spared.

Seeing this, Tang San smiled, and thanks to his terrifying soul power foundation, the binding force of his Blue Silver Grass also saw a great increase.

However, Li Li showed no panic as expected; instead, her body's second soul ring lit up, and her controlled hands instantly turned into two terrifying, huge purplish-black sickles, breaking free of the bonds in an instant, then cutting the Blue Silver Grass entwined on her spider legs and escaping control.

"Second Soul Skill: Slaughter Demon Sickle!"

Li Li's second soul skill comes from an eight-hundred-year-old Slaughter Demon Spider; the skill transforms both arms into a pair of sickles with terrifying attack power and poison.

Because Li Li is a genius cultivated from childhood by the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, her soul rings are also absorbed beyond her rank, making her soul skill power equally formidable.

Li Li instantly broke free, but Tang San's expression remained unchanged; because at the very moment he bound Li Li, he had already moved, stepping with mysterious footwork to close in, releasing his body-surface purple third soul skill as his right hand flung a purple-yellow mass toward Li Li.

"Third Soul Skill: Spiderweb Bind!"

Facing Tang San's third soul skill, Li Li merely gave a faint smile, then her body's third soul ring likewise lit up.

"Let you see what true spiderweb binding is!" Li Li sneered, activating her third soul skill: "Third Soul Skill: Spiderweb Bind!"

Li Li's third soul ring comes from a two-thousand-year-old Human Face Demon Spider, and she absorbed this soul ring right in front of Tang San, obtaining her Eight Spider Lances at that time as well.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass third soul ring, however, comes merely from a one-thousand-five-hundred-year-old Human Face Demon Spider; but now Tang San's soul power is forty-ninth-rank, far surpassing Li Li, so he can exert some suppression over her.

The two purple-yellow masses collided in midair, after which endless spiderwebs spread, instantly forming a purplish-black spiderweb barrier between them.

Soul skills differ from soul bones; they are abilities produced when a Soul Master, after absorbing a soul ring, combines the powers of their martial soul and the soul beast.

Although Tang San's Blue Silver Grass also possesses not weak poison and toughness, compared to Li Li's third soul skill—whose martial soul and soul ring share the same origin—it falls short by more than one level.

After Li Li's spiderweb binding unfolded, it quickly wrapped around Tang San's third soul skill in reverse, giving her the upper hand in soul skill.

The reverse-wrapping spiderweb shot straight at Tang San, making the onlookers gasp in astonishment!

How can a forty-third-rank against a forty-ninth-rank still produce such reverse suppression? Tang San is strong and talented, but that relies on his Haotian Hammer; now his Blue Silver Grass, despite the huge soul power gap, is still being suppressed, which also proves from the side how terrifying the Haotian Hammer is and how worthless the Blue Silver Grass is.

It is precisely because of these circumstances that Tang San himself inwardly affirmed that adding a soul ring to his second martial soul was an extremely correct decision.
