Flender spoke first, saying, "We at Shrek Academy encourage combat and sparring, but not malicious fighting. Ao Tian, we support your fight with Tang San, but you can't injure people like you did last time. Sparring should be done with restraint, understand?"
Flender was still a little worried about accidents, so he gave Ao Tian a heads-up right from the start.
Ao Tian said, "Principal, injuries are inevitable in sparring between Soul Masters. If we have to hold back during sparring, what's the point?"
Flender frowned, "Do you want to injure Tang San like you did Dai Mubai?"
Dai Mubai, who was standing to the side, was named twice by Flender, and his face was a little embarrassed, feeling quite ashamed.
Recalling how he was utterly defenseless against Ao Tian last time, he felt his face getting hot. He secretly glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's direction and, seeing that she didn't look scornful, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang San said, "Principal, you don't have to worry. I've sparred with Ao Tian many times, and he's never seriously injured me. At most, I'll suffer some minor skin injuries, nothing serious."
Flender nodded, "Alright, start now, everyone, step aside."
The Shrek Academy's training ground was reasonably large, though the unpaved ground gave it a rather impoverished look.
Everyone cleared the center of the training ground, standing to the side. Several teachers stood beside the students, preventing them from being accidentally injured.
After all, they still vividly remembered how badly Zhao Wuji was beaten last time. They heard that he was injured by the insidious and bizarre weapons Tang San used.
Furthermore, they had heard news last night that Ao Tian could make Soul Tool weapons and would use them in battle. They were both excited and prepared to defend themselves, as no one knew the power of those Soul Tool weapons.
The two stood ten meters apart.
Tang San asked, "Ao Tian, where are your Soul Tools?"
Ao Tian opened his left hand, and a shimmering, colorful bow appeared, immediately captivating everyone's attention.
Such a beautiful treasure existed in this world! It looked like it was crafted from jade that emitted colorful light, something that didn't seem to belong to the mortal realm.
Just how exquisite is the craftsmanship to create something like this?
Everyone looked at Ao Tian, filled with admiration. With just this skill, even if Ao Tian didn't cultivate much, he could live a life of comfort and ease.
However, could such a beautiful but impractical item really be used in combat?
A bow made of jade would probably break the moment you drew it, right? Was Ao Tian making this just to show off and attract attention?
When Tang San saw the bow Ao Tian brought out, he was also stunned, but he quickly smiled.
Being highly skilled in forging, he knew very well that using jade to make a bow and arrow was a joke. It could be used as an ornamental craft, but for combat, it was truly laughable.
As everyone knew, bows were generally made of bamboo or wood with excellent elasticity, and some incredibly elastic metals could also be used. But using jade as a material... Tang San was certain that even if it were a Soul Tool, it probably wouldn't have much power.
Unless, this bow wasn't meant to be drawn.
Tang San's wariness of Ao Tian's Soul Tool vanished in that instant. This bow wasn't even as good as the golden longsword he had used before.
Tang San couldn't help but smile, asking, "Ao Tian, is this the Soul Tool weapon you crafted for Ning Rongrong? It looks decent, quite fitting for Ning Rongrong's status and temperament. However, if you're using it to fight my secret weapons today, you might lose."
"Tang San still dares to look down on Ao Tian. He's going to be in trouble now," Xiao Wu said with a laugh.
Ning Rongrong clenched her fists and said, "He dares to underestimate my Seven Treasure Glazed Bow. I hope Ao Tian can teach Tang San a lesson."
Ao Tian didn't care about Tang San's words and smiled. "You've always wanted to defeat me, haven't you? I'll only use this bow today. Let's begin."
Tang San looked at Flender and said, "Principal, before the match, I'd like to test my Soul Power. After breaking through to Soul Elder, I feel like my Soul Power has continuously improved several levels."
"Alright," Flender took out a Soul Elder-level testing crystal ball and handed it to Tang San, anticipating, "We'd also like to see how many levels you've broken through."
Tang San held the crystal ball, infusing it with Soul Power. The crystal ball lit up, and the level of Soul Power could be determined by the degree to which it lit up.
"Hiss... He actually reached level thirty-three as soon as he broke through," a teacher couldn't help but exclaim.
"Jumping three levels at the Soul Elder level, and already at level thirty-three at twelve years old, this talent... is probably the best among these children," Flender said as well.
Tang San returned the crystal ball to Flender and looked at Ao Tian, smiling. "Ao Tian, after all these years, I've finally surpassed you in Soul Power."
Tang San's heart was filled with excitement. For so many years, he had always been behind Ao Tian, not only in actual combat but also in Soul Power. His relentless, day-and-night cultivation had finally paid off. His Soul Power had finally surpassed Ao Tian's.
Truly, the heavens reward those who strive! Thinking of the scenes of his tireless cultivation over the past few years, Tang San suddenly found it hard to control his emotions, and tears welled up in his eyes.
All the effort was worth it! He clenched his fists tightly, his resolve becoming even firmer.
Ao Tian, standing opposite Tang San, frowned and asked, "Are you going to fight or not?"
Tang San then remembered he was supposed to be fighting Ao Tian, realizing he had just lost control of his emotions. He smiled and said, "Then I'll begin. Be careful."
He said this, and immediately launched his attack.
Before Ao Tian arrived, he had already adjusted his state to the best possible condition. He activated his Purple Demon Eyes and immediately launched a throwing-type secret weapon.
Bone Piercing Nails, Willow Leaf Knives, Money Darts… He had used all of these hidden weapons against Ao Tian before, but none of them had hurt him. He was using them this time just to see if his Soul Power, now that it had broken through, could actually harm Ao Tian.
With his thirty-third rank Mysterious Heaven Skill Soul Power driving the hidden weapons, their power had indeed increased significantly. Tang San's hands moved like phantoms, constantly sweeping across his waist, and a barrage of hidden weapons swarmed towards Ao Tian.
With Tang San's current cultivation, he could now use some of the most difficult hidden weapon techniques from the Tang Sect's Hundred Secret Weapons.
Just like martial arts moves, hidden weapon techniques could also enhance the power of the weapons. The hidden weapons Tang San was launching now would be enough to make Soul Masters of the same rank completely defenseless.
Even Dai Mubai in his prime couldn't dodge so many hidden weapons; he'd have to maintain his White Tiger Barrier to withstand them. If Tang San used some hidden weapons specifically designed to break through protective auras, the White Tiger Barrier wouldn't be of any use.
This was Tang San's foundation for survival and challenging opponents above his level in this world. Hidden weapons were his greatest reliance.
The hidden weapons flying in the front curved around, attacking Ao Tian from behind, surrounding him from all directions.
Tang San's hidden weapon attacks were more ferocious and dense than ever before, causing Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, who were watching the battle, to feel their scalps tingle. They had once again witnessed Tang San's terrifying power.
"How will Ao Tian defend against this inescapable attack?" The thought simultaneously surfaced in their minds.
