Chapter 31: Shocking Everyone
Here it comes! Here it comes!
In the excited mood of the citizens of the City of Nuoding, two slightly shorter figures stood up from their respective seats and walked to the competition area.
"It's finally starting!"
"These two kids seem different. Is this what they call genius?"
"Fight! Fight!"
...
City Lord Xiao looked at Tang San and Su Yun, then turned to his son and asked, "Chenyu, who do you think will win today between these two?"
As a father, City Lord Xiao had heard about his son Chenyu losing to Tang San in a previous match. Since then, his son's demeanor had changed, no longer as arrogant as before.
This was also why City Lord Xiao was willing to watch Tang San's match today, wanting to see if this kid named Tang San was indeed a genius, as his son claimed.
"Dad, it's hard for me to answer that question."
Over the past year, with his father's support, Chenyu was about to graduate, and his soul power had risen from level 11 to level 14.
"Tang San is very strong, but Su Yun is not weak either."
Chenyu's gaze fell on Su Yun, standing tall with a straight face, his eyes showing a hint of calmness. He continued, "In this past year, he hasn't showcased his soul skills. But his spear technique is indeed powerful. Even without soul skills, his strength is enough to be in the top ten among all academy students."
"I have to admit, both he and Tang San are geniuses."
"From the public opinion in the city, it's obvious that he deliberately concealed his first soul skill, waiting for this day to compete with Tang San. In comparison, I feel quite ordinary."
Seeing his son's growth in his final year at the academy, City Lord Xiao showed a satisfied smile on his face.
For a father, witnessing his son's growth firsthand was gratifying. He then turned his gaze back to the two in the competition area.
"Can we start?"
In the competition area, the referee teacher in the middle turned his head and looked at Su Yun and Tang San.
"Yes."
"Yes."
Both replied simultaneously.
"Reveal your martial souls."
The referee teacher spoke again.
After that, he turned and left the area, giving Su Yun and Tang San space.
In a sparring match, they needed to disclose their martial souls and soul power levels as a sign of respect.
However, today, both Tang San and Su Yun, in their previous fights, had deliberately not revealed their soul power levels.
Their intentions were the same.
To conceal their true strength.
But now, there was no need to hide their soul power levels anymore.
Tang San's eyes became more serious than ever, and he spoke first, "Tang San, first-year student, martial soul: Blue Silver Grass, Soul power: Level Seventeen, First Ring Soul Master."
Hiss—
As Tang San finished speaking, a gasp echoed throughout the arena.
All the spectators, including the teachers, had expressions full of incredible shock!
Seventeen?! Are you really just seven years old?!
"My goodness! Wasn't Tang San's martial soul the waste martial soul Blue Silver Grass? How did he cultivate to the seventeenth level of soul power in just a year?!"
"Are you stupid? Didn't you forget that he's a congenital full soul power? And he also had guidance from the Grandmaster..."
"But his cultivation speed is too terrifying! In one year, his soul power level has increased by seven levels! How are we supposed to live..."
"Wait a minute, I remember Su Yun's martial soul and congenital soul power level are the same as Tang San's, Blue Silver Grass and congenital full soul power, right?"
"Hiss— What do you mean..."
When someone suddenly thought of a more explosive possibility, Su Yun's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"Su Yun, first-year student, martial soul: Blue Silver Grass, Soul power: Level Seventeen, First Ring Soul Master."
The childish voice echoed within the competition area, gradually spreading to everyone's ears.
The entire arena exploded!
"Oh my god! Two geniuses!"
"This is incredible!"
"No wonder Grandmaster wanted to recruit Su Yun as his disciple. Without Grandmaster's guidance, he was able to increase his soul power by seven levels in a year. This is too terrifying..."
...
In addition to the excitement of the audience, Grandmaster, who had been sitting with the dean, also squinted his eyes slightly upon hearing Su Yun's words.
"This kid, without my guidance, managed to cultivate soul power at a speed comparable to Little San. It seems his second martial soul should indeed have the effect of enhancing soul power cultivation."
Grandmaster pondered silently, firm in his belief that Su Yun not only had a second martial soul but that it also had a beneficial effect on his own cultivation.
On the other hand, the dean, sitting aside, was once again shocked by Tang San's soul power level after being astonished by Su Yun's.
He tilted his head slightly and whispered, "Xiaogang, are you still sure that Tang San can beat Su Yun?"
Grandmaster responded with a light laugh, "Soul power level doesn't represent everything. You've seen Little San's true strength."
The dean nodded slightly.
Indeed, in the fight against Xiao Wu just now, Tang San had been much more serious than before.
The dean's gaze couldn't help but fall on Tang San, thinking to himself:
"Tang San, you can't lose today."
"Otherwise, Xiaogang's reputation will truly be ruined."
...
In the competition area.
Hearing that Su Yun's soul power level was the same as his own, Tang San was initially surprised, but he quickly regained his composure.
After all, both Su Yun and he had congenital full soul power, and their cultivation speeds were indeed comparable.
With the support of Xuan Tian Gong and the potential benefit from Su Yun's second martial soul, Tang San's and Su Yun's soul power levels were almost equal.
Thinking too much was futile. Tang San took a deep breath, not saying much, leaving only three words behind.
"Please enlighten me!"
As his voice fell, a slender figure disappeared from the spot, and the next moment, everyone saw the figure of Blue Silver Grass suddenly appear.
"First soul skill!"
A yellow-hued hundred-year soul ring abruptly rose, once again causing a wave of exclamations.
Without saying a word, Tang San immediately unleashed his first soul skill.
He intended to end the battle quickly!
Swish! Swish! Swish! The next second, over a dozen strands of Blue Silver Grass, each as thick as three fingers, surged suddenly from under his feet, resembling a dozen slender blue snakes coiling upwards.
"Entangle!"
Tang San fixed his gaze on Su Yun, his voice icy.
The transformed Blue Silver Grass vines shot mercilessly towards Su Yun!
