Chapter 137 First Appearance
The Heavenly Fighting Team seemed to take this battle quite seriously, but Blue Tyrant Academy was in a rather unfortunate situation, as all of their participating members were Soul Masters, with not a single Soul Grandmaster among them.
The result was the opposite of the original story. Tang San directly activated his fourth soul skill, Blue Silver Cage, trapping everyone from Blue Tyrant Academy. Then, Yu Tianheng's body crackled with lightning as he unleashed a lightning-type area-of-effect soul skill, instantly knocking down all the students from Blue Tyrant Academy, some of whom were even seriously injured. The match lasted less than half a minute, and Team Tiandou won.
Of course, the classic line also appeared during the match: "Are they dead?"
These are the words Tang San uttered when the Blue Tyrant Academy team leader complained to the referee that the Heaven Dou Team One disregarded the rules of the Big Brothers Association and intentionally killed someone.
Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head, speechless. Given Tang San's personality, if anyone dared to hurt Xiao Wu, Tang San would probably kill them without regard for the rules. There were many such scenes in the original work.
At this moment, Yang Podi was carefully observing Tang San and discovered that Tang San's strength was indeed quite profound. His soul power had reached level 45, and after consuming the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, his physical recovery ability would probably be very good.
Tang San's current spirit ring configuration is two yellow and two purple. His fourth spirit skill, like in the original story, is Blue Silver Cage, likely from a spider-like spirit beast that is around five thousand years old. However, the power of this spirit skill is far inferior to the ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring in the original story. Although it is still a group control skill, its theoretical control time is probably less than four seconds. Keep in mind that in the original story, it could last up to eight seconds against a Spirit Master level opponent.
Yang Podi even noticed that Ma Hongjun also had Blue Silver Grass, but when Ma Hongjun launched a fire attack on the Blue Tyrant Academy students, it seemed that the Blue Silver Grass was also burned at the same time.
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is now far inferior to the original work in terms of resilience and immunity to ice and fire. Even Tang San's physical fitness is much worse than in the original work, since he lacks the ice and fire tempering technique.
However, Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi, who were in the guest seats, were quite satisfied with the performance of Tang San's group. The fact that the Tian Dou team was able to gain an overwhelming advantage in a short period of time can be considered as bringing glory to the Tian Dou Royal Academy.
The competition was in full swing on the second day, with Tiandou Team 2 facing off against Zixing Academy.
Yang Podi was speechless at this opponent. Zixing Academy was still full of Soul Masters, without a single Soul Grandmaster, making it one of the weakest teams.
However, when the Tian Dou Second Team entered the arena, everyone present was stunned. The Tian Dou Second Team had three Soul Masters, one Soul King, and three Soul Venerables on the field at the same time.
In particular, when Yang Ping'an displayed that black spirit ring and his spirit power of up to level 51, even the host was stunned.
The host spoke cautiously: "Yang Ping'an, the vice captain of the Tian Dou Second Team, possesses the Soul Breaking Spear as his martial soul, a soul power of level 51, and two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings. This is astonishing! He is the only Soul King from the Tian Dou region in this Soul Master Competition, and probably also the one with the highest soul power among all participants in this competition."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling also amazed the audience. It should be noted that among all the contestants, Tang San's highest soul power is level 45, but Dugu Yan's soul power has reached level 49, and Ye Lingling's soul power has reached level 48.
Even Niu Meng has reached level 45 in soul power, which is no worse than Tang San's level in the Heaven Dou Team.
As for their opponent, Purple Star Academy, they were already trembling with fear. They had only intended to play a minor role, but they ended up facing an opponent of this caliber.
Dugu Yan's soul ring flashed, and the scene was immediately enveloped in green gas. Then, the members of the Tian Dou Second Team rushed forward, and in the blink of an eye, all seven members of Zi Xing Academy had fallen, foaming at the mouth and twitching at the corners of their mouths, looking extremely miserable.
Fortunately, Ye Lingling treated them immediately; otherwise, it's hard to say whether it would have affected their next match.
Yang Tianyue, on the field, complained to Dugu Yan, "Sister Yan, you're too fast! I haven't even had a chance to show my strength yet, and the entire opposing team has already fallen down."
The other team members also looked at Dugu Yan with resentment. After all, it was the first Soul Battle competition, and it was already over before they could even show their strength.
Of course, some viewers, looking at Yang Tianyue's youthful face, couldn't help but wonder whose child she was, being able to participate in the Soul Master Competition at such a young age.
However, Yang Tianyue is only level 38, which seriously drags down the average soul power level of the Soul King team.
However, all the teams watching the battle had very solemn expressions. The battle had been very short, and Yang Ping'an, the Soul King, had not shown any strength.
However, as everyone knows, Yang Ping'an's Martial Soul, the Soul-Breaking Spear, comes from the Breaking Clan. The Breaking Clan is renowned for its bravery and skill in battle, and all their spirit rings are offensive, making them difficult to defeat among spirit masters of the same level. Yang Ping'an is definitely not to be underestimated.
Some observant teachers noticed that Ye Lingling was treating the other Soul Master, and the wounds on the Soul Master's body were healing at an extremely fast speed. This healing ability was probably even comparable to that of a Soul Emperor.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's group were also watching the Soul Arena with serious expressions.
Yu Xiaogang never expected that a Soul King would appear in the second team. Moreover, according to Titan's introduction of Dugu Yan's soul power level and state, Dugu Yan's soul power was actually very profound, almost at the critical point of breakthrough. It is likely that by the time of the finals, he will be able to break through to the Soul King realm.
What surprised him most was that Niu Meng had actually reached level 45 in spirit power, which was no worse than his favorite disciple Tang San. Meanwhile, Bai Xiaofei and Tai Long, who followed Tang San to the second team, were only at level 42 in spirit power.
A year ago, Niu Meng was only one level higher in soul power than Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei. Now, in just one year, the difference in soul power has become three levels, and it seems that the gap has actually widened.
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but grit his teeth. His training methods for the trainees were the same as those of the second team, except that there was a problem with the medicinal bath in the middle. How could the difference be so big? You have to know that the first team of Tiandou now has received strong support from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the medicinal bath they use is also the most advanced.
After a moment of silence, Yu Xiaogang spoke to Tang San, "Xiao San, what do you think of the Heaven Dou Second Team? What are its strengths and weaknesses?"
Tang San pondered for a moment before speaking: "The strength of Team Tiandou 2 is quite good. In the match just now, the players basically didn't have much to show before the match ended. In particular, Yang Ping'an, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling performed exceptionally well. Yang Ping'an's soul power is outstanding. In a one-on-one battle, I'm afraid no one in the entire Tiandou region can match him. Even I would have a very difficult time."
"Dugu Yan's poison is extremely potent; those below the Soul Master level have virtually no resistance to it. However, if someone were at the Soul Master level, she probably wouldn't have gained such a significant advantage today."
"However, the Heaven Dou Second Team also has its weaknesses. First of all, they have three Soul Masters, and these three Soul Masters are obviously much weaker than the others. It's like they're just there to make up the numbers. Moreover, as far as I know, the Heaven Dou Second Team only has eight people in total. That means they will send out at least two Soul Masters when they go on the field. These two are their weak points."
"Another point is that the Tian Dou Second Team does not have any agility-type Soul Masters or flying Soul Masters, which makes their tactics relatively simple."
"Furthermore, judging from the Soul Battle just now, it seems they didn't design any tactics for the Soul Master Tournament. Although their teamwork was good, it was still a weakness."
Yu Xiaogang nodded, a hint of satisfaction on his face: "Xiao San, your analysis is excellent. Tian Dou Team 2 looks very strong, but their lineup is rather unbalanced, with significant differences between the team members. A team needs to cooperate with each other and cannot afford any weaknesses, otherwise they can easily be targeted."
"Furthermore, I've heard that the Tiandou Second Team has never organized a team-based Soul Battle competition. Their competition experience is relatively poor, and they don't have any tactics to speak of. They might have major weaknesses in the finals."
"The most important point is that their team only has one support. The academy's teaching committee once approached Yang Podi to ask if they needed to add more Soul Masters, but he refused. This shows that the members of the Heavenly Dou Second Team are very arrogant, which we can take advantage of."
Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's analysis seemed quite reasonable, and even the surrounding students couldn't help but nod in agreement, but three people remained silent.
Tailong and Bai Xiaofei looked at Niu Meng's progress and could only smile bitterly. Since leaving the second team and joining the first team, they seemed to be out of place with all the members of the first team. The members of the first team were obviously extremely talented, but Tailong and Bai Xiaofei were not so talented. Their progress in cultivation and learning ability were much worse.
Just like how hardworking students need to enter the class of genius students, different training methods are required. Tailong and Bai Xiaofei are clearly not used to Yu Xiaogang's genius training method, nor do they have such strong comprehension and self-regulation ability.
Especially since he also had to face Tang San, the young master, Tang San didn't have much time to spend on Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei. He focused more on his own improvement and his communication with Xiao Wu.
Another silent one is Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong did not need to receive the Qiluo Tulip Fairy Product provided by Tang San as in the original story, and her relationship with her teammates was not as good as in the original story. Even when faced with Oscar's repeated pursuit, she did not fall in love as quickly as she did in her previous life.
Especially after entering the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Oscar, surrounded by all sorts of beautiful women, actually got a girlfriend again, and now the two are just ordinary teammates.
Girls who haven't fallen in love are generally quite intelligent, especially Ning Rongrong, who has seen more of the world than other students at Shrek Academy.
Compared to others, Ning Rongrong understood even more how terrifying the strength of the Heaven Dou Second Team was. Although Yu Xiaogang's analysis was correct, she was even more aware of the powerful attack capabilities of the Soul Masters of the Breaking Clan. The training that all the members of the Second Team had undergone was far more brutal than Yu Xiaogang had imagined.
Moreover, since they haven't seen each other for the past year, Yang Podi has clearly arranged other training methods, and even deliberately stayed in the Po Clan for training, obviously not wanting Yu Xiaogang and the others to know.
Most importantly, Yang Podi hasn't made a move yet. Ning Rongrong has heard her two grandfathers say that Yang Podi has at least the strength of a high-level Soul King, and may even have reached the level of Soul Emperor. If he were to appear, he could probably take on the entire Heaven Dou Team by himself.
Ning Rongrong's relationship with Tang San was not as good as in the original story. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Tang San still had business dealings in hidden weapons, Ning Rongrong was even Tang San's biggest customer.
However, when he asked for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Distraction Control technique last time, according to his father Ning Fengzhi's wishes, he could provide the Distraction Control technique, but in exchange, Tang San would have to provide one of his own cultivation techniques. Tang San refused outright.
Even Yu Xiaogang chimed in, agreeing with Tang San, as if Tang San's unique skills were absolutely forbidden to be passed on, while other people's skills were worthless and could be used at will.
Although neither party said anything afterward, it did cause a minor conflict, and their relationship wasn't as good as before.
