Chapter 117: Tang Wulin VS Ye Wuqing

Hundreds to thousands of golden leaves slowly vanished, and Ye Wuqing's face turned disgustingly sour.

The ten‑thousand‑year soul skill was also a trump card for him; combined with the earlier series of soul skills, he consumed nearly half of his own soul power to counter Bei Bei, a Soul Sect, which truly exceeded his expectations.

The crucial point is that the power of this soul skill hadn't fully manifested yet, yet Bei Bei was already shielded by the referee; in a sense, his effort was wasted.

He angrily said to Bei Bei, "You shameless scoundrel, if you have the ability, fight me to the end!"

Bei Bei couldn't help but show a look of pity.

"Your name is Ye Wuqing, right? Diligent cultivation is a good thing, but if cultivation makes your brain stupid, it's not worth it. I suggest you go back and give yourself a break, and properly remodel that faulty brain structure of yours."

"You...!"

Ye Wuqing, furious, wanted to act immediately, but the referee hurriedly stopped him and signaled Bei Bei to leave the stage promptly.

The audience gave applause to the departing Bei Bei.

The crowd's eyes were sharp; Bei Bei, as a single Soul Sect, could easily defeat two Soul Sects and even forced the opposing team captain, who was near Soul Emperor level, to reveal his fifth soul skill—already a feat far beyond everyone's expectations.

They were somewhat puzzled why Shilake would send a Soul Sect‑level contestant onto the stage, and the one replacing Bei Bei for the next round was Tang Wulin.

The reason Bei Bei could drain Ye Wuqing so much was largely due to the Tang Sect technique; Xu San Shi and He Caitou lack that ability—let alone defeating the now‑enraged Ye Wuqing, they might not even cause much depletion.

Now, among Shilake's reserve team, only Tang Wulin has the capability to face Ye Wuqing in battle.

Even if Tang Wulin cannot defeat Ye Wuqing, that's fine; he will certainly inflict massive depletion on Ye Wuqing, after which we can see how the remaining two Soul Sects fare.

When Tang Wulin stepped onto the stage, everyone's gaze instantly focused on him.

Before today's match, the only two participants that all competing teams at Shilake Academy paid particular attention to were Huo Yutong and Tang Wulin.

Huo Yutong has already proven her strength with an impressive one‑against‑four record; what about Tang Wulin, who performs the Soul Fusion Technique alongside her? Xiao Hongchen hurriedly set down the snack in his hand, looked up at the arena with eager anticipation.

Xu Jiawei also turned his gaze toward Tang Wulin, his eyes full of curiosity.

The Shilake participant records clearly state that this child named Tang Wulin is only ten years old this year, undoubtedly the youngest contestant in the tournament's history.

At his age, he could even take part in the tournament two cycles later, ten years from now.

Ye Wuqing took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and coldly said to Tang Wulin, "I hope you won't be as cowardly and timid as your team captain."

Tang Wulin blinked and showed an innocently harmless smile.

"Our captain acts that way because he has five reliable teammates behind him. What about you? Do you have dependable teammates like ours?"

Ye Wuqing involuntarily choked on his breath, unable to say a word.

Teammates? All his teammates have already been eliminated! He feels he's about to be so infuriated by these two scheming guys that he'll vomit blood.

The referee reacted quickly this time, hurriedly saying, "Retreat to the edge of the arena and prepare for the match!"

He now feels Shilake would be better off continuing to send that girl named Huo Yutong to compete.

At the very least, she is cold and proud, not like those two guys who can stir up trouble. Ye Wuqing retreated to the edge of the arena, gritted his teeth and glared at Tang Wulin, already having imagined ten thousand ways to beat him up.

"The match begins!"

Hearing the referee's words, Tang Wulin thrust his left foot hard, emitting a "Boom" sound, and sprinted toward Ye Wuqing, covering half the arena in a single breath.

At the same time, a golden soul ring rose from around his body.

The audience seats instantly erupted in a murmur.

In contrast to the six hundred‑thousand‑year soul rings, an opposite extreme appeared: this teenage Tang Wulin possessed only a single soul ring.

They were all surprised by the number of Tang Wulin's soul rings, so much so that many mistook his golden soul ring for a yellow one.

Xiao Hongchen frowned in frustration.

"A single ring? How can a single ring generate such speed? Could it be that he has Twin Soul?"

This was the best explanation he could think of in a short time; otherwise, a single‑ring soul master couldn't possibly possess such speed.

One must know that the speed burst Tang Wulin displayed now, compared to the previously transformed blood wolves, was purely fast, not just quick. If he were a soul master, Xiao Hongchen would be the first to doubt it; he guessed Tang Wulin must at least have Soul Sect‑level cultivation.

He was half right: Tang Wulin indeed wasn't a single‑ring soul master, yet he also lacked Soul Sect cultivation.

With the third seal's release and the absorption of the Wind Dragon King's left thigh bone, his power grew increasingly terrifying.

Facing a Tang Wulin who crossed half the arena in a single breath, Ye Wuqing was clearly taken off guard.

When Tang Wulin displayed a single soul ring, his first reaction was contempt, his second was puzzlement.

After all, he was the closest person to Tang Wulin; he couldn't have missed the strange color of Tang Wulin's soul ring.

In a sense, a golden soul ring is even more astonishing than six hundred‑thousand‑year soul rings, since a hundred‑thousand‑year soul ring can generally be obtained by soul masters, but a golden soul ring has only appeared in Douluo Continent's history on Hai Shen Tang San.

And that soul ring originated from the legendary million‑year soul beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a mythic god‑level soul ring.

Could it be that this kid's soul ring is also god‑level? Ye Wuqing was startled by his own astonishing thought, so he didn't have time to react to Tang Wulin's incredible speed.

Just as he raised his hand to launch golden leaves, Tang Wulin had already arrived a short distance in front of him.

Facing the surging Tang Wulin, Ye Wuqing had 1,343 soul rings light up at once, and dozens of golden leaves rose, slicing toward Tang Wulin.

This is not the same level as the golden leaf formation used against Bei Bei; after all, the Golden Left Hand soul skill does indeed enhance Ye Wuqing's melee ability to some extent, but its fundamental purpose is not for close combat.

Although this soul skill can only be applied to the left hand, under its boost, whenever Ye Wuqing releases golden leaves with his left hand, their power doubles.

Undoubtedly, this is an absurdly powerful soul skill; it can only be said that it ranks just below Ye Wuqing's Golden Leaf Dance among his many soul skills.

He slightly curled the corner of his mouth; under Ye Wuqing's glare that seemed to split his eyes, his figure began to become ethereal.
