Chapter 29: The Incredulous Tang San
2024-07-17 Author: Xianyu Wangyue
From the very beginning, Aotian had intended to use a few little tricks to let Wang Sheng win.
After all, he had no interest in getting involved in such a minor affair, nor did he want Xiao Wu to fight.
This was because when Xiao Wu fought, it was easy for her to get into close contact with others.
Since Tang San was so certain that Wang Sheng would lose, Aotian's interest was piqued, which was why he had exchanged a few verbal spars with him.
Hearing Aotian's words, Tang San's lips curled into a disdainful sneer. Without the help of his Hidden Weapons, Wang Sheng was sure to lose. How could he possibly win?
Xiao Wu's expression was grim; she also felt that Wang Sheng was about to lose.
After all, Wang Sheng was being beaten so miserably while his opponent's aura grew ever stronger. There was no way to turn this situation around.
On the battlefield, Liu Long's face was full of contempt. Wang Sheng's power was greater than his, but it was just brute force, fit only to be toyed with.
"It's time to end this." A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he shouted, "Kneel for me!"
As he spoke, he swept his staff with even greater ferocity toward the back of Wang Sheng's knees.
If this staff struck Wang Sheng's legs, he would almost certainly be forced to kneel.
"He's lost," Tang San thought to himself.
However, at that very moment, a powerful wave of energy suddenly erupted from Wang Sheng's body.
The staff Liu Long had smashed against Wang Sheng's leg was actually sent flying.
"Roar!" Wang Sheng let out a deafening tiger's roar. Faint, tiger-like markings appeared on his skin.
Wang Sheng was overjoyed. He felt a vast new energy suddenly emerge, coursing chaotically through his body and granting him immense power.
If someone with powerful spiritual power were present, they would have discovered an astonishingly dense concentration of spiritual energy gathering above Wang Sheng's head and pouring into him from his crown.
Wang Sheng roared ceaselessly. The energy within him swelled, making him feel as if he were about to burst. He desperately wanted to find a target to unleash it upon.
What was happening? Aside from Aotian, everyone was completely shocked.
Although they couldn't feel the immense spiritual energy being injected into Wang Sheng, they could sense his surging aura.
Tang San's eyes slowly widened, his face gradually going slack. He had just predicted that Wang Sheng would be defeated within five moves.
Yet, before five moves had passed, the situation had completely changed.
"Playing tricks!" When his long staff was knocked away, Liu Long felt he had lost a great deal of face. This time, he brought it smashing down toward Wang Sheng's head.
Wang Sheng paid it no mind, taking the blow head-on to successfully close the distance to Liu Long.
For a Tool Soul Master who used a long weapon, being engaged at close range by a Soul Master with a Beast Martial Soul meant the outcome was already decided.
Wang Sheng swung a slap across Liu Long's face, sending him flying. His body spun several times in the air before he landed, already unconscious.
This…
Everyone except Aotian was dumbfounded. The tables had turned so quickly; Wang Sheng had reversed his defeat and claimed victory in a single move.
"Who's next!" Wang Sheng, utterly exhilarated, roared at Boss Xiao.
Boss Xiao's expression was grim. He called another of his underlings to the field.
"Tang San, convinced yet?" Aotian asked, smiling at Tang San.
He felt not the slightest bit of shame for cheating.
At his Realm, he did as he pleased. The only thing he sought was to be carefree and unrestrained.
As for whether it was fair or not, that was not something he needed to consider.
"How is that possible? He was clearly about to lose," Tang San muttered, his face a mask of disbelief.
He suddenly looked at Aotian. "How did you know Wang Sheng would win?"
"Because your judgment isn't as good as mine."
Tang San felt a pang of discomfort, rendered speechless.
He had just said those very words to Aotian, and now they were being thrown right back at him.
As they spoke, a pained cry rang out from the battlefield. Boss Xiao's underling, who had just entered the fray, was also knocked unconscious by a single slap from Wang Sheng.
"Damn, what did Wang Sheng take today? He's so ferocious."
Excited gasps arose from among the Work-Study Students.
Tang San was in a terrible mood. He could only focus his gaze on Wang Sheng, trying to figure out the reason for his sudden increase in strength.
A purple light suddenly flickered in his eyes. He activated his Purple Demon Eye, and Wang Sheng's every movement slowed down considerably in his sight.
By now, a third person from Boss Xiao's side had come forward, yet Wang Sheng remained just as fierce.
Wang Sheng felt as if he had truly become a ferocious tiger. The power in his body felt endless, and even when his opponent landed a blow, the pain was very weak.
"`This is… my Soul Power must have broken through to Level 10. As soon as I absorb a Soul Ring, I can become a Soul Master,`" Wang Sheng thought with delight.
His talent was quite ordinary. After nearly six years of studying at Nuoding Academy, his Soul Power had only reached Level 9.
He had never imagined he would break through to Level 10 Soul Power in the middle of a battle.
Not all students at Nuoding Academy could ultimately become Soul Masters. After six years of study, those who could were few and far between.
If Wang Sheng could break through to the Soul Master Realm before graduating, his future would undoubtedly be much brighter.
"Again!"
"Again!"
"..."
With the exception of Aotian, everyone grew more and more shocked until they were nearly numb.
Wang Sheng had taken on ten of their opponents all by himself. Even now, his aura was still soaring, showing no signs of weakening.
"How is this possible?" Tang San murmured. He had watched all ten of Wang Sheng's fights but still couldn't figure out the reason for his sudden surge in power.
Wang Sheng's Fighting Intent was boiling. He looked toward Boss Xiao and laughed heartily. "Boss Xiao, it's your turn."
Xiao Chenyu walked out with a dark expression. Losing ten matches in a row, he had been utterly disgraced today.
Seeing this, Tang San called out, "Wang Sheng, Boss Xiao has already broken through to Soul Master. There's a whole Realm between you; you can't beat him. Let me do it."
He glanced at Aotian and Xiao Wu, and seeing no objection, he continued, "I've also broken through to the Soul Master Realm now."
Boss Xiao was startled, his gaze fixed on Tang San.
He didn't recognize Tang San; he hadn't noticed him in the cafeteria last time.
A Soul Master had appeared among the Work-Study Students? How was that possible?
In his six years at Nuoding Academy, Boss Xiao had never once seen a Work-Study Student successfully break through to the Soul Master Realm.
Now that Tang San had broken through to Soul Master, he immediately felt the situation had become tricky.
"I wonder what this kid's Martial Soul is?" Boss Xiao wondered to himself.
To many people's surprise, Wang Sheng actually shook his head. "I can still fight."
After being bullied by Boss Xiao for so many years, Wang Sheng naturally didn't want to pass up this chance to challenge him.
Even if he lost, he would have no regrets.
Boss Xiao withdrew his gaze from Tang San and looked at Wang Sheng standing before him. A cruel smile spread across his face as he said, "Wang Sheng, you've got some nerve."
"Wang Sheng, let me do it. You don't have a Soul Ring yet, you can't beat him," Tang San said.
Xiao Wu also added worriedly, "Wang Sheng, you've already done great. Leave the rest to us."
Wang Sheng's gaze remained stubborn.
"Let him do it. He might not lose," Aotian said.
Tang San immediately wanted to retort, but the memory of Aotian's divine prediction silenced him.
