Chapter 379 The Fusion of Soul Skills and Tang Sect's Ultimate Techniques (Part 2)

The match between Shrek Academy and Blazing Fire Academy was the fifth to take place. Before the match even started, Tang San could already feel the intense gaze fixed on him from not far away.

Tang San didn't look at Huo Wu, nor did he want to appear arrogant. He simply watched the matches calmly, especially those between Shenfeng Academy and Leiting Academy. These were two academies they had never encountered before. They were about to face off in the qualifying rounds, and he needed to observe them carefully.

Through observation, Tang San discovered that besides the Four Elements Academy, there were two other academies that were also very strong: one called the Silas Academy and the other called the Plant Academy.

Silas Academy is alright; their strength seems similar to that of the Four Elements Academy, with three students at level 40 or above. Tang San, however, is somewhat puzzled by the Plant Academy. All of their participating members possess plant-based martial souls, and these are all extremely strange plants. Since the start of the competition, they have only had three members participate so far.

Of course, this was also because they hadn't encountered any powerful opponents. Although their team members were all around level 30, Tang San could tell that the Plant Academy's team members were all control-type Soul Masters. Under these circumstances, even if they encountered opponents above level 40, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage. With just three Soul Masters around level 30, they achieved two consecutive victories in the matches that had already ended.

The Plant Academy kept a low profile, and their soul skills weren't flashy, but the more they did so, the more Tang San felt they were extraordinary.

Finally, it was Shrek Academy and Blazing Fire Academy's turn to appear.

When Tang San, representing Shrek Academy, was the first to enter the arena, the members of Blazing Fire Academy immediately showed astonished expressions.

The first to appear from Blazing Fire Academy was Huo Wushuang, and just as Dai Mubai had predicted, Huo Wu was the last to appear.

Seeing Tang San appear first in the arena, Huo Wu abruptly stood up from her seat, her ample bosom heaving, her eyes gleaming. If it weren't for the rules that the order of appearance couldn't be changed, she would have undoubtedly been the first to go on stage.

Why? Why are you the first to appear? Huo Wu shouted in her heart.

In the month following the conclusion of the preliminaries, her training was almost torture. She finally made a breakthrough, not only increasing her soul power by one level but also significantly improving her application of soul skills and other abilities. All of this was for the purpose of avenging herself against Tang San.

But now, Tang San is the first member of Shrek Academy to appear. Even if he's incredibly strong, Huo Wu doesn't believe he can last until they're evenly matched. Has the chance for revenge just vanished like this? She's unwilling to accept it.

However, the rules of the competition were there, leaving her feeling helpless. She couldn't very well let her brother and the others give up the competition.

After all, she also had to consider the entire team.

Huo Wushuang stood facing Tang San, his expression grave. He had assumed that Xiao Wu, who had achieved five consecutive victories yesterday, would be the first to appear, and he was prepared to fight her.

But the person standing before him was Tang San, who had left a deep impression on him. This caused a crack to appear in Huo Wushuang's resolve.

He knew that with Tang San's control over his martial soul and his fire immunity, he would have a difficult time gaining the upper hand. Fire immunity was a significant counter to his strength.

Tang San remained calm, as he always was when facing any opponent. As the referee announced the start of the match, he gestured for Huo Wushuang to proceed.

Almost simultaneously, the two completed the process of releasing their martial souls. Tang San raised his right hand in front of him, and a five-inch-long piece of blue silver grass grew from his palm, swaying gently. If it weren't for the four dazzling spirit rings on his body demonstrating his strength, no one would believe that it was just a five-inch piece of blue silver grass, yet its power was so astonishing.

Not only Blazing Fire Academy, but also the academy team members from the kingdoms and duchies, as long as they were not participating in the competition, almost all focused their attention on the battle between Huo Wushuang and Tang San.

One is a traditionally strong team, and the other possesses a fourth spirit ring that lasts for ten thousand years; this battle is destined to be exciting. At the same time, these academies also want to observe closely just how strong Tang San truly is.

Scales emerged from beneath his skin, and blazing flames rose and then vanished in an instant. Huo Wushuang was covered in a dark red color, and a short horn about three inches long protruded from the top of his head. This was his martial soul, the One-Horned Fire Typhoon.

Seeing Huo Wushuang unleash his martial soul, Tang San's eyes narrowed. The initial release of flames was normal, but the subsequent subsidence was clearly different from their previous encounter in the team battle. Judging from Huo Wushuang's calm and collected demeanor, he had obviously already planned his strategy.

Unlike when a normal offensive Soul Master faces a control-type Soul Master, this time it was Tang San who took the initiative.

Tang San moved his feet and floated out. His movements didn't seem fast, but with his illusory steps, he approached Huo Wushuang in the blink of an eye.

A control-type Soul Master as the main attacker? An unbelievable thought popped into everyone's mind.

Huo Wushuang's first spirit ring lit up instantly, and the dark red scales on his body became crystal clear, like a layer of armor covering his body. However, his body did not move, but his eyes were fixed on Tang San, who was rapidly approaching.

To Huo Wushuang's surprise, the Blue Silver Grass entanglement he had predicted did not land on him. Tang San continued to approach him, but did not seem to intend to use his soul skill.

Huo Wushuang could no longer restrain himself. He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and dark red light surged out from his palms, instantly condensing into a palm-sized dark red ball of light.

There were still no flames rising, not even a trace of heat emanating. Just as his gaze locked onto Tang San's body, a dark red ball of light shot out, flying straight towards Tang San.

Just before the two were about to collide, Tang San suddenly slipped, narrowly avoiding the impact of the dark red light sphere. At this moment, he was less than five meters away from Huo Wushuang.

Clearly, Huo Wushuang's attacks were not so easy to dodge. Although the first attack was avoided, the ball of light immediately changed direction and chased after Tang San.

A faint smile appeared on Tang San's lips. The Blue Silver Grass in his right palm suddenly swelled up. There was only one blade, as thick as a baby's arm, but in the blink of an eye, it had spread to a length of three meters. Instead of wrapping around, it directly lashed out at Huo Wushuang's body. At the same time, a clump of Blue Silver Grass rose from behind Tang San, weaving into a large net in the air, forcefully blocking the ball of light behind him.

The next instant, surprise appeared on both of their faces.

With a deafening roar, the dark red orb disappeared, but the net that had enveloped it also shattered, and the Blue Silver Grass that Tang San had wielded reached Huo Wushuang's side.

Huo Wushuang finally moved, ignoring the Blue Silver Grass that was striking him, and instead crashed into Tang San's body.

The Blue Silver Grass struck Huo Wushuang's shoulder precisely, but with a loud bang, the Blue Silver Grass was shattered. At the same time, Huo Wushuang and Tang San were now very close.

Tang San had extensive combat experience, and he immediately realized the problem.

That's right, his Blue Silver Grass could indeed grant immunity to both water and fire, but it couldn't resist the impact of energy. The Blazing Fire Academy's solution to deal with him was simple: suppress their fire-attribute attacks and transform them into another attack mode.

The characteristics of flames are not only heat, but also explosiveness.

Huo Wushuang compresses and condenses his fire-attribute soul power as much as possible, and then releases it instantly when the two sides come into contact, forming an explosive force.

In this way, although the fire attribute cannot affect him, the explosive force is still terrifying.

As one of the five major elemental academies, Blazing Fire Academy truly lives up to its reputation. Both the teachers and the outstanding students are remarkable for finding a way to deal with them in such a short time.

But, do you think you can defeat me like this? Tang San's smile didn't fade. You're improving, but so am I.

Faced with Huo Wushuang's impact, Tang San knew that as long as he made physical contact with Huo Wushuang, the dark red scales on Huo Wushuang's body would explode in a series of severe injuries. After compressing his soul power to this extent, it was beyond what his Blue Silver Grass could withstand.

After all, both of them were level 42 Soul Masters, and since the start of the battle, Huo Wushuang had expended far more Soul Power than Tang San. Coupled with his masculine Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul, he indeed possessed an invincible aura.

Using explosive power to control was undoubtedly the most correct choice. Unfortunately, Tang San's control had already reached a new level in just one month.

Facing Huo Wushuang's head-on collision, Tang San did not retreat, but continued to charge forward. Just as the two bodies were about to collide, Huo Wushuang raised both fists at the same time and slammed them into the empty spaces on both sides of Tang San, trying to make it impossible for him to dodge.

He believed that as soon as he made physical contact with Tang San, he would immediately gain the upper hand. How could the One-Horned Explosive Dragon compare to Blue Silver Grass?
