16: Tang Hao is coming

Tang San was both angry at Dai Mubai's contempt and slightly confused. Why did this person anticipate his intentions in advance?

But Tang San didn't hesitate much. He walked over to Oscar and bowed slightly, speaking,

"Please trouble Senior Ma to look after my sister. Of course, if there is a healing Soul Master in the academy, I hope they can treat my sister as soon as possible."

"Okay, we happen to have a food system Soul Saint in Shrek Academy. He should be able to cure your sister."

After Oscar finished speaking, he signaled Ma Hongjun with his eyes to find Teacher Shao Xin. Although Ma Hongjun was dissatisfied with Tang San and Xiao Wu, seeing Oscar's insistence and the already unconscious Xiao Wu, he grumbled and left.

Seeing this, Tang San's heart finally settled, and his prejudice against Oscar lessened a little. Tang San didn't know that Oscar himself didn't want to treat Xiao Wu. After all, he had seen Tang San's actions. However, Xiao Wu was already unconscious, and it was the academy's duty to help their own. So, Oscar thought for a moment before having Ma Hongjun go find Teacher Shao Xin.

Tang San turned around and looked at Ning Rongrong, who was speaking seriously, instructing her,

"Miss Ning, from now on, just stay away from me and provide enhancements. My techniques might accidentally injure you."

Ning Rongrong nodded and retreated a little. After all, she had seen Tang San's methods, and as a support Soul Master, staying at the very back was indeed the best idea at the moment.

Although Ning Rongrong had just witnessed Dai Mubai's Martial Soul and felt the suppression, she didn't hold much hope for this final test. However, she still had some anticipation for the determined Tang San in front of her.

Dai Mubai yawned. While appearing indifferent, he was actually quite wary of Tang San. After all, in the original work, Tang San's Dragon Whisker Needles even broke through the defense of the 76th level Zhao Wuji. Although he had the Ultimate Gengjin attribute, he was still cautious of Tang San's Dragon Whisker Needles.

"Let's begin."

After feeling Ning Rongrong's enhancement, Tang San spoke without waiting for Dai Mubai's reply. He used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and almost instantly arrived in front of Dai Mubai.

His hands slowly turned jade-colored, and he attacked Dai Mubai with a palm. Dai Mubai immediately flashed back a step, avoiding Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hand.

As expected by Dai Mubai, when he retreated, he found a few Dragon Whisker Needles Inclusion in Tang San's fingers.

Tang San was also surprised by Dai Mubai's retreat, because Dai Mubai hadn't retreated during his and Xiao Wu's combined attacks just now.

Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, was surprised by the two Tang Sect unique skills Tang San had just used, and couldn't help but marvel at Tang San's "self-created soul skills."

Seeing Dai Mubai flash away, Tang San instantly unleashed countless flying darts from his body, attacking Dai Mubai.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai became a little impatient. Finally, his first yellow soul ring lit up.

"First Soul Skill: Gengjin Awakening Technique."

Just as countless Hidden Weapons were about to reach Dai Mubai, a golden light enveloped his body. When the countless Hidden Weapons struck Dai Mubai, they made clear, ringing sounds, as if hitting steel.

Seeing this, Tang San frowned and couldn't help but marvel at Dai Mubai's terrifying defense.

Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Tang San retreated a little. Just as he was about to use the second soul skill that had just been parasitic on Dai Mubai, he couldn't feel the second soul skill anymore. Tang San's face grew increasingly gloomy. He prepared the Zhuge Divine Crossbow he had made earlier.

Dai Mubai looked at the gloomy Tang San and couldn't help but smile contemptuously. Tang San really thought he could hide his little trick of hiding his second soul skill within his first soul skill from him, who had read the original work. When Tang San used his second soul skill, he had quietly used his Ultimate Gengjin soul power to envelop his entire body. How could a second soul skill from a hundred-year soul ring possibly penetrate the 49th level soul power containing Ultimate Gengjin?

Tang San looked at the contemptuous Dai Mubai and instantly took out the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and fired it. The corners of his mouth lifted again, thinking that the Zhuge Divine Crossbow possessed power comparable to a Soul Grandmaster. This time, there was hope of breaking through his defense while Dai Mubai was careless, and then using the Dragon Whisker Needles would be the safest approach.

Tang San was disappointed again. Dai Mubai still didn't bother to dodge the arrows fired by the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. Moreover, the attacks fired by the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, just like the other Hidden Weapons, only made a clear sound and nothing more.

"First Soul Skill: Binding, Second Soul Skill: Parasitism!"

Seeing this, Tang San decided to go all out. His two yellow soul rings lit up, and the Blue Silver Grass vines attacked Dai Mubai again, concealing parasitic seeds. Underneath, three Dragon Whisker Needles were also hidden. During the firing of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, he even fired a silent sleeve arrow, and under the silent sleeve arrow, another Dragon Whisker Needle was hidden.

After completing this attack, Tang San's gloomy face finally slowly improved. He couldn't help but think: With such dense attacks, a slight carelessness would result in being pierced by his Dragon Whisker Needles. Moreover, Tang San had specifically coated all the Dragon Whisker Needles with potent poison. Once pierced, the outcome would be...

Before Tang San could finish his fantasy, Dai Mubai looked at the dense attacks and finally became a little serious, and also decided to end this boring game.

"Second Soul Skill: Gengjin Destruction Claw!"

As Dai Mubai's second soul ring lit up, he directly attacked Tang San. With a claw infused with Ultimate Gengjin, all of Tang San's Hidden Weapons, including the Dragon Whisker Needles, were deflected.

"Impossible!"

Seeing the Dragon Whisker Needles deflected, Tang San couldn't help but lose his composure for a moment. How was this possible? These were Dragon Whisker Needles, specifically designed to break through Gengjin and all defenses. They were a long-standing inheritance of the Tang Sect, a move that had always been effective against enemies with strong defensive capabilities.

Dai Mubai couldn't help but smile at this. It was true that the Dragon Whisker Needles were specifically for breaking defense. However, his Ultimate Gengjin attribute possessed both offensive and defensive properties, plus physical fitness comparable to a top Soul Emperor. If he were to have his defense broken by a hidden weapon while prepared, then his Ultimate attribute would be useless.

In the moment of Tang San's distraction, Dai Mubai's claw had already reached Tang San. Although he held back somewhat, it was still not something Tang San, a Soul Grandmaster, could resist at the moment.

As Tang San's body flew out, spitting blood, Ning Rongrong also raised her hands to indicate surrender.

Ning Rongrong looked at Tang San, who was lying on the ground bleeding and unconscious, and couldn't help but shake her head. She had seen Tang San's various techniques, but unfortunately, the gap in strength was still too large. It could be said that if the opponent wasn't Dai Mubai but any other Soul Grandmaster, or even someone who had just advanced, Tang San might have had a chance to win. No wonder these two were willing to call him Dai Laoda.

"Oscar, you and Fatty will carry Tang San back later. As for Xiao Wu, I'll trouble you, Ning Rongrong."

Dai Mubai put away his Martial Soul and walked towards the living quarters.

These words made Ning Rongrong glance at the incense stick on the ground, which still had a large portion left, and she couldn't help but ask Dai Mubai's retreating figure,

"But, doesn't the fact that the incense hasn't finished burning mean we're eliminated?"

The distant Dai Mubai didn't give Ning Rongrong an answer, while Oscar, while bandaging Tang San, patiently answered Ning Rongrong's confusion on behalf of Dai Mubai.

"Whether the incense burns out or not isn't important. Your goal is just to see your personal qualities and the most basic reactions during combat. If any of you retreated or abandoned your companions, or hesitated, then that would be considered a failure. To put it simply, in this battle, none of us expected you to last that long. That's all."

"But he's just a Soul Grandmaster, why is he so strong?"

Ning Rongrong looked in the direction Dai Mubai had left, still full of confusion, and couldn't help but ask.

"What that person at the entrance said is right. Level doesn't represent combat power. Our Dai Laoda is that kind of person. You'll know in the future. This Sausage, when she wakes up, please remember to feed it to her."

After Oscar finished speaking, he resignedly looked at Ma Hongjun, who hadn't returned yet, and resignedly carried Tang San away from the spot.

Ning Rongrong watched the two leaving and the Sausage filled with soul power that was left behind, confirming that Oscar was a food system Soul Master. She couldn't help but think about the people her age: a seemingly unreliable but Ultimate Fire Fatty, a handsome food system youth full of grand principles, and a Soul Grandmaster whose combat power was unknown. Ning Rongrong couldn't help but be full of curiosity about this academy.

Night

"What's meant to come will come."

Dai Mubai seemed to sense something. He turned over and got out of bed, heading to the forest behind.

Soon after, a middle-aged man in a black cloak slowly walked out from the shadows, revealing a face full of beard.

He looked at Dai Mubai and asked in surprise,

"You seem to have sensed that I was coming?"

"It's just that my Martial Soul became sensitive after its mutation."

Dai Mubai answered the black-robed middle-aged man truthfully.

"Do you know what you did?"

The black-robed middle-aged man asked slowly and deliberately.

"No need to say so much, Mianxia Hao Tian. Just say what you plan to do directly."

Dai Mubai interrupted Tang Hao's questioning.

Tang Hao's nine soul rings lit up at this moment, and he walked step by step towards Dai Mubai.
