Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

Chapter 40: Furious Yu Xiaogang
"I've been fooled!" Looking at Cheng Xiao's lightning-fast leg kicking towards him, Tang San felt a chill in his heart. If he was kicked by this leg, he would be skinned alive even if he didn't die!
"Ghostly!"

Facing Cheng Xiao's attack, Tang San reacted very quickly. He stepped forward and used ghostly footwork to try to distance himself from Cheng Xiao quickly.

However, how could Cheng Xiao give Tang San a chance to distance himself? A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and a strong murderous aura instantly erupted, covering Tang San's body. When the skill murderous aura was activated, Tang San's whole body attributes were directly weakened by 50%. Even the mysterious ghost shadow footwork would become powerless after the speed advantage was taken away, right?

At the moment when Tang San's body moved, his speed seemed to be dragged by an invisible force, becoming slow and heavy, and in his eyes, the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared again. Before Tang San activated the Purple Demon Pupil, a powerful force burst out from Cheng Xiao's whip kick, and the momentum burst out like a broken bamboo, sweeping towards Tang San.

boom!
With a loud bang, Tang San's body was like being hit by a cannonball. He flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough cough" Tang San covered his stomach and coughed violently, a strong pain spread throughout his body. Cheng Xiao's attack almost made him lose his fighting ability.

"Haha, it seems that Tang San, who used special weapons, is no match for Cheng Xiao. After being kicked by Cheng Xiao, Tang San should not be able to fight." Looking at Tang San lying on the ground in a mess, Dean Mano couldn't help laughing.

"What exactly is the nature of this kid's martial spirit? Why is it so difficult for Xiao San to deal with it? Invisibility and defense, is it possible that this kid's spirit skills are all acquired randomly?" The master's eyes fell on Cheng Xiao, his face gloomy, and he was very unhappy in his heart, "If Xiao San is suppressed by Cheng Xiao all the time, his confidence will definitely be greatly hit. Could it be that... he should switch to practicing Clear Sky Hammer?"

"It's over, Tang San." Standing in front of Tang San, Cheng Xiao's eyes were filled with coldness.

"No... I haven't lost yet, I can't let my teacher down... I must not... admit defeat." Tang San struggled and stretched out his hand, and a faint blue light bloomed.

"Second soul skill...parasitism!"

Tang San held on with all his strength and activated his second soul skill. He didn't believe that Cheng Xiao could avoid the blue silver grass seeds at such a close distance. As long as the parasitic skill was successfully activated, he would be able to win the battle!

"That's enough, Xiao San!" Seeing that Tang San was still trying to resist, Grandmaster could not stand any longer. He quickly trotted to Tang San's side and wanted to help him up, but an arm blocked Grandmaster's outstretched hand.

"What are you doing? He has already lost, do you still want to kill him?" The master glared at Cheng Xiao and asked angrily.

"Lost? How come I didn't know?" Facing the master's question, Cheng Xiao replied expressionlessly: "Master, if Tang San admits defeat himself, then this competition will be over. You are just his teacher, not him."

"Before the end of the competition, as long as Tang San doesn't admit defeat himself, then the competition should continue. After all... didn't you say that the battles between spirit masters are ever-changing?"

"You!" The master was speechless after being rebuked by Cheng Xiao. Yes, he did say this, but he did not expect that Cheng Xiao could hear it from such a distance. This time he really shot himself in the foot.

"Okay, Cheng Xiao, the dean will decide for you. You won this competition. Tang San is already like this, so there is no need to continue the competition." Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was somewhat tense, the dean Manuo hurried over and said. Hearing this, Cheng Xiao did not speak, but lowered his head and stared at Tang San, who was lying on the ground with a ferocious face.

"Xiao San, admit defeat quickly. The teacher will take you to the treatment. Don't delay the treatment because of showing off." Seeing Cheng Xiao's unyielding look, the master was also very angry, but after all, he was his disciple. Winning or losing didn't matter. What was important was the future path of cultivation.

After hearing what the master said, Tang San slowly said, "I admit defeat."

But when he said this, Tang San's eyes were very cold. He didn't understand. He clearly had the Tang Sect's unique skills, but why couldn't he win even once against Cheng Xiao? Was he so weak?
No, it’s not that I’m weak, it’s that the Blue Silver Grass is weak. If I could practice the Clear Sky Hammer, how could I have lost to this extent?
Without paying attention to what Tang San was thinking, after hearing Tang San say the words "I admit defeat", Cheng Xiao nodded slightly to Dean Manuo, then turned around and strode out of the playground.

Looking at Cheng Xiao leaving, the master's face was uncertain, but the most important thing now was to take Tang San to treatment and check his body. Other things could be put aside.

So, the master said hello to the dean Mano, and carried Tang San to the infirmary of Notting College. There was a healing spirit master in his thirties. With his treatment, Tang San should be able to recover soon.

…………

After returning to the dormitory, Cheng Xiao first took a shower, and then returned to bed wearing loose clothes. Xiao Wu and the others were still in class. There was no one in the dormitory and it was quiet.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Cheng Xiao stretched out his right hand, and with a thought, black mist suddenly emerged from his palm.

"I didn't expect the power of shadow to be so useful. If it can be condensed into a weapon, then I don't need to carry two daggers."

Turning his gaze to the two metallic daggers placed on the table, Cheng Xiao muttered to himself.

It is indeed troublesome to carry two daggers with me. I originally wanted to use them to hunt soul beasts, but now, let alone hunting soul beasts, it is enough to practice every day to improve the level.

Shaking his head slightly, Cheng Xiao closed his eyes and entered into meditation. It seemed that because of the Shadow King, the soul power in his body was basically transformed into shadow power. Compared with the soul power without any characteristics, shadow power was more domineering and more functional.

It's just that after his soul power was transformed into shadow power, his cultivation speed slowed down. But Cheng Xiao didn't care. From the current point of view, his cultivation speed was normal. Otherwise, the improvement of his soul power level should be much slower than Tang San's.

After all, Tang San has the Xuantian Gongfa which can improve the speed of cultivation, while he only relies on normal meditation to improve his soul power level. The fact that he has not been left behind in level is enough to prove that it is easy to improve the level in the initial stage of cultivation. However, as the level increases, the speed of cultivation will slow down accordingly. This is also the difficulty of cultivation.
