Chapter 101 - The Battle Begins! (1/2)
Tang Wulin noticed that the Light Dragon Dagger in Xie Xie's hand had reduced in size by one circle and its light had become dimmer, yet it seemed to have grown more solid. The lines on the dagger were even clearer to see and now carried a terrifying aura to it.
Two rings? There's actually a student in cla.s.s five with two rings?
Despite having just arrived at the sidelines, Long Hengxu's mouth was already agape. In comparison to cla.s.s one with its three Soul Grandmasters, the fact that a Soul Grandmaster appeared in cla.s.s five was even more shocking. It was an unprecedented event in all of Eastsea Academy's history!
Long Henxu felt his face heat in pain as though he'd been smacked in the face.
Oh Wu Zhangkong, Wu Zhangkong. You truly are capable!
The whole of cla.s.s five began to cheer when they saw that there were actually two rings beneath Xie Xie's feet.
In a flash of light and shadow, the two of them rus.h.i.+ng towards the other. With a grave expression, Xie Xie sped up, turning into a golden light, spiraling in an arc towards Wei Xiaofeng and pressing him back.
Before they even clashed, Xie Xie's oppressive aura made Wei Xiaofeng feel as if he was being chopped up.
What powerful soul power! He must have just broken through, while I'm already at rank 22! How can his soul power still be so oppressive?
Naturally, Wei Xiaofeng didn't know that with his twin souls, Xie Xie's soul power was far mightier than others at the same rank.
None of the other four remained idle while these two clashed.
Tang Wulin didn't immediately release his martial soul, but rather he rushed forward madly, making a beeline for the opponent's commander, Zhang Yangzi.
Gu Yue's figure flickered for a moment before quickly reappearing behind Tang Wulin, as if she were his shadow. Although Tang Wulin only relied on his tyrannical strength and was nowhere near as fast as Xie Xie, he was certainly not slow either. Gu Yue was light as a feather, as if she were a ghost. From beginning to end, she stuck herself to Tang Wulin's back.
Zhang Yangzi stood there without budging a single inch, as if he paid no mind to Tang Wulin's charge at all. Rather, it was w.a.n.g Jinxi who moved from his side.
Similar to his teammates, w.a.n.g Jinxi also had two soul rings. His slim figure seemed to swell a bit, but what had grown in size weren't his muscles, but rather, his skeleton. He looked like a bony rack as he raised his arms to let forth a stream of black gas.
This… He actually has martial soul with the darkness attribute?
w.a.n.g Jinxi took large strides forward to meet Tang Wulin, his arms extended in front of him the whole time. Two black flames seemed to ignite within his eyes as he advanced. His spirit soul was nowhere to be found and no one knew what it was.
Despite this, Tang Wulin's expression remained unchanged. A white soul ring appeared underfoot as he raised his arms forward and the little Goldlight slithered out from his s.h.i.+rt collar to expose its tiny head.
Of those present, it was only Wu Zhangkong in the audience who noticed that Goldlight's head had grown much larger than before. But with its body hidden within Tang Wulin's clothing, he couldn't get a clear look at it.
A layer of earthen yellow light enshrouded Tang Wulin, causing his figure to appear even thicker than before. His speed, however, slowed down a bit.
A red ball of light flew by his shoulder from behind, just barely missing. Surprisingly, it was a fireball!
Pow! It struck w.a.n.g Jinxi's right hand, but in a flash of black radiance, the fireball was extinguished. In the moment following, he began his exchange of blows with Tang Wulin.
A face to face battle was the domain of an a.s.sault System Soul Master.
Bang! A m.u.f.fled bang was heard. Tang Wulin came to a stop with a trembling body while w.a.n.g Jinxi retreated three steps after receiving Tang Wulin's punch.
The unmoving Zhang Yangzi's face colored with astonishment. He understood how much strength w.a.n.g Jinxi possessed, as he had a first cla.s.s close combat martial soul that made him an excellent a.s.sault System Soul Master. In fact, even he himself could not compare in physical strength with w.a.n.g Jinxi. He had been absolutely convinced beforehand that within Eastsea Academy's intermediate division and for those with less than three rings, there were few who could compete in strength. After all, w.a.n.g Jinxi's martial soul was just that powerful!
Yet, an unbelievable scene played out before him. A mere one ring Soul Master with a ten year soul ring actually possessed strength that surpa.s.sed w.a.n.g Jinxi's? This was simply inconceivable!
It wasn't just Zhang Yangzi who thought this way; w.a.n.g Jinxi was equally as shocked at Tang Wulin's strength. In the moment when they had exchanged blows, he felt as if he was a lone man facing an unshakable mountain. That tremendous strength of Tang Wulin's was something he was completely unable to contend with. He couldn't help but retreat.
