In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

Are you kidding me? How could that be?

"I don't care, today I'm going to defeat you as a Soul Master. If you lose, you'll have to call me Sister Xiao Wu, just like Xiao Chenyu and the others." Xiao Wu got up, rubbed her sore shoulders, and pointed her index finger at Lan Si.

"What if you lose?" Lan Si asked, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"I lost? How could my sister Xiaowu lose?" Xiaowu looked incredulous.

"Never mind." Lan Si stroked his chin, thinking to himself, if you lose, you can become my soul ring and soul bone in the future.

"Let's get started."

"Hmph, Xiao Wu, a first-year work-study student, martial soul of rabbit, level 12 one-ring battle soul master, please give me your guidance."

Xiao Wu gave a soft hum and released her martial spirit.

A faint red aura enveloped Xiao Wu, transforming her into a humanoid rabbit. A yellow spirit ring rose beneath her feet, a distinctive mark of a spirit master.

"Lan Si, Martial Soul: Azure Lotus, Level 11, One-Ring Battle Soul Master, please give me your guidance."

Blue flames rose from Lan Si's eyes, and a pale white light emanated from his body as he summoned the Azure Lotus Martial Soul. A yellow hundred-year soul ring also rose beneath his feet.

Chapter Fifteen: Yu Xiaogang Gets Slapped in the Face

"Another hundred-year soul ring!" the onlookers exclaimed in surprise.

All the students present, including Tang San, watched Lan Si and Xiao Wu intently, waiting for them to fight. Their eyes gleamed with excitement, knowing that battles between Soul Masters were a rare sight.

Tang San looked at Lan Si's spirit ring, a look of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

He killed the Black Mamba Snake using a silent hidden arrow and Tang Sect's ultimate techniques. So how did Lan Si obtain this century-old soul ring?

"Make your move." Lan Si's expression remained unchanged as he calmly beckoned to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu bit her red lips with her rabbit teeth, then pushed off the ground with her right foot, leaping high into the air and pouncing towards Lan Si.

Lan Si knew that she wanted to use her best close-combat skills. Although Lan Si was not afraid, how could she let her have her way?

With a sudden hurling of his right hand, Qinglian aimed directly at Xiaowu's face.

Taking advantage of the moment when the green lotus blocked Xiao Wu's view, Lan Si quickly disappeared from the spot.

Xiao Wu never expected that Lan Si's martial soul could be used like Tang San's hidden weapons. If she were hit by the green lotus, she wouldn't be seriously injured, but her pretty little face would definitely suffer.

He immediately leaned back, did two somersaults in the air, and returned to the ground. When he looked ahead again, he found that Lan Si was no longer there.

"Xiao Wu, watch out behind you!" Tang San, who had been quietly watching the battle, suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu quickly turned her head to avoid it.

The next moment, a fist grazed past her ear, the sharp wind from the punch making her eardrums ache.

"asshole."

"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow."

Another sneak attack! Xiao Wu could no longer tolerate it. As she swung her scorpion braid behind her back, she leaped up again, and the yellow spirit ring on her body instantly lit up.

A smug smile crept onto Lan Si's lips; this was exactly what he had been waiting for.

As he retreated to avoid Xiao Wu's scorpion braid, his yellow spirit rings lit up almost simultaneously.

"First Soul Skill, Azure Lotus Assault."

The Azure Lotus Martial Soul, which Lan Si had previously thrown into the air, split into eight parts, transforming into eight sharp blades that pierced towards Xiao Wu.

"Ah..." Xiao Wu screamed. At this moment, she had just used her first soul skill and her body was in mid-air, so she had no way to use it to dodge. Faced with the eight sharp blades that suddenly thrust towards her, she could only close her eyes in fright.

The onlookers were so shocked that their mouths were agape. If they were stabbed, they would be riddled with bullets.

Is it even possible for them to survive?

Tang San's face was equally solemn. As he activated his Purple Demon Eye, he reached his hands into his waist.

Although he has not yet become Xiao Wu's brother and sister, he has made a vow that "if you want to hurt you, you'll have to step over my dead body first."

But after spending a few days together, Xiao Wu's liveliness and cuteness had already touched his heart, so he couldn't bear to watch her die.

Just as Tang San's right hand was about to slip into his waistband, intending to retrieve a hidden weapon from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon to alter the trajectory of Lan Si's Azure Lotus Blade, his Purple Demon Eyes noticed that Lan Si's blade had suddenly changed course.

"Pfft pfft..."

A series of stab-like sounds rang out, and Xiao Wu was embedded in the grass in a spread-eagle position. At this moment, her braid, limbs, and cuffs were all struck and pinned to the ground by the sharp blades of the Azure Lotus, while the remaining three blades were stuck at her throat and the positions of her eyes.

Upon seeing this scene, silence fell, and the entire playground fell into a deathly stillness.

After a long pause, Lan Si broke the silence and suddenly asked, "Well, little rabbit, do you admit defeat?"

Xiao Wu was also terrified, her face turning pale. Seeing that the pain she had imagined did not come, and hearing Lan Si's words, she slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the sharp blade between her eyes and her throat and eyelashes, she was instantly too frightened to move. She hurriedly replied, "I surrender, I surrender, please take this thing away."

With a wave of his hand, Lan Si sent eight sharp blades flying to the top of his palm, where they reassembled into the Martial Soul Azure Lotus.

He glanced deeply at Xiao Wu on the ground and Tang San, who had a solemn expression beside him, but didn't say much. He put his martial soul back into his body, turned around, and strode towards the cafeteria. He hadn't eaten all day and was starving.

Watching Lan Si's departing figure, the students remained silent for a moment. Xiao Chenyu couldn't help but speak first, exclaiming, "Amazing! Who is this freshman? He's even more amazing than Xiao Wu! Quick, let's follow him. He'll be our leader from now on."

"Walking Alone to Immortality"

Lan Si easily defeated Xiao Wu, and Xiao Chenyu stopped calling her "Sister Xiao Wu" and happily followed along with the other senior students.

Only the work-study students remained, still in shock.

As for Tang San, he approached Xiao Wu, and after confirming that she was not seriously injured, he offered a few words of comfort before turning around and running quickly towards the dormitory building.

He was going to ask his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

Why is Lan Si, who is clearly a support type, able to obtain such powerful skills?

This aroused Tang San's strong curiosity.

Tang San even felt that Lan Si's spirit ring skill seemed to be prepared for Tang Sect disciples.

If combined with the Tang Clan's hidden weapon techniques, even he, a genius disciple who prided himself on having mastered the Tang Clan's ultimate skills, would not be confident in resisting.

.........

The academy's sports field wasn't far from the cafeteria. After finishing lunch, Lan Si dismissed Xiao Chenyu and his group who had followed closely behind, and then went to the academy's library.

He already has plans for the next few years.

In the evenings, I practice the Supreme Qiankun Technique and the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique to temper my soul power.

During the day, they undergo physical strengthening training, practice the martial arts moves attached to the Holy Qiankun Skill and the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique, study Soul Master theory, and work at the blacksmith shop.

His second spirit is a hammer, and he must master the corresponding hammer techniques. Tang San's Chaotic Cloak is undoubtedly the best option for Lan Si.

He secretly learned how to use Tang San's chaotic cloak technique to forge iron.

However, all of this will have to wait until Tang San goes to work at the blacksmith shop.

.........

Meanwhile, Tang San had already returned to Yu Xiaogang's residence.

Because he helped Tang San hunt for a spirit ring, Yu Xiaogang was poisoned by the Black Mamba Snake. At this moment, he has not yet recovered his ability to move and is bedridden.

Seeing Tang San return, Yu Xiaogang asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Xiao San? Did you complete your Soul Master registration so quickly?"

Tang San walked to the table and poured Yu Xiaogang a cup of hot tea. He asked respectfully, "Teacher, I just saw Lan Si's first soul skill."

Yu Xiaogang said "Oh," took the hot tea, blew on it lightly, and confidently asked, "So, should I amplify my soul power or heal?"

Tang San shook his head: "None of them. It is an extremely powerful offensive soul skill that can transform the green lotus into eight flying knives to attack the enemy. It is extremely fast, and ordinary one-ring soul masters, unless they are defensive soul masters as you mentioned, will find it almost impossible to resist it."

"What color is his spirit ring?" Yu Xiaogang's expression froze, and he quickly asked.

“A yellow, hundred-year-old soul ring,” Tang San replied.

Yu Xiaogang's lips twitched. Recalling the scene in front of Tang San, when he confidently promised to let Lan Si absorb the ninety-year-old soul power sacred wood, his cheeks began to burn, and he instantly felt like he had been slapped in the face.

Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have taken him to the Soul Hunter Forest.

P.S.: Second update

Chapter Sixteen: Stealing the Style of the Chaotic Cloak

Tang San continued, "Teacher, do you know what his martial soul is all about?"

Yu Xiaogang coughed a few times. He naturally couldn't admit that he had misjudged the situation, so he pretended to sigh and said, "Alas, it seems that he has finally gone down this path."

"Teacher, do you know?" Tang San's eyes lit up. He was a studious and competitive person, and there was no doubt that Lan Si's victory over Xiao Wu today had put pressure on him. Therefore, he was eager to know everything about Lan Si. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes shone with wisdom. "The path Lan Si took reminds me of a certain Soul Master who also possessed a Flower Martial Soul, and whose Lotus was countless generations stronger than Lan Si's."

"How is he?" Tang San asked upon hearing this.

Yu Xiaogang said regretfully, "Relying on his high-quality martial soul and powerful talent, although he cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo, he became the bottom of his level because he took the wrong path, thus wasting his talent. He couldn't even defeat some soul masters with lower soul power than him, let alone Title Douluos of the same level."

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San asked hesitantly, "Teacher, do you mean that the Title Douluo also chose the same path as Lan Si?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded and said, "That's right. Lan Si's situation is very similar to that of the Title Douluo. He may have shown great strength in the early stages, but he will start to lose his strength later. Especially when he reaches the Soul Saint stage, the gap will become more and more obvious, and he will eventually annihilate everyone else."

"Of course, all of this is on the premise that Lan Si can cultivate to the Soul Saint level. After all, in terms of talent, although that Title Douluo is not as good as him, he can still be described as exceptionally gifted. Even that Title Douluo had such a difficult time in cultivation, let alone Lan Si who only has a mere fifth-level innate soul power."

Tang San suddenly realized, and felt much more relaxed. Yes, so what if Lan Si is strong now?

Without professional theoretical guidance and with innate soul power only at level five, the gap between the two will only widen in the future.

Thinking of this, Tang San's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. He realized that he might have been overthinking things.

Tang San bowed slightly. "Teacher, I understand. Please rest here for now. I'll come to see you again when I bring you dinner tonight."

Yu Xiaogang smiled gently and said, "Go ahead, don't delay your cultivation."

Tang San nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the room.

Watching Tang San's disappearing figure, a thoughtful look flashed across Yu Xiaogang's eyes. To be honest, he had already begun to regret it. Lan Si's talent seemed to have exceeded his expectations.

He awakened his martial soul three months ago, possessing innate soul power at level five, and is now a one-ring soul master.

To increase one's soul power by five levels in such a short time is likely to break the record in the history of Douluo Continent.
